Englishmen, with all their boasted activity, cer tainly appear upon some matters more disposed to talk of improvements than to adopt them with the energy and promptitude of their neighbours. It is only necessary, in illustration of this, to look at all that has been said, contrasted with the little that has been done of late years in the way of metropolitan changes proposed either with a regard to beauty or with an eye to convenience. Whether we consider the arrangements of our public thoroughfares, or the character of our public monuments, we must allow that London occupies a position of very decided in feriority when compa re d w i th almost any other of the capitals of Ch r i stendom. People, never principal theless, accnstomsd to brag about the pre-eminence of the chief city of Great Britain, not merely in reference to is extraordinary magnitude and the ex• tent of its population—which is of course reasonable enough, because altogether undeniable —but actually in regard to the symmetry of its construction and to the splendour of its decorations! They t a lk of Trafalgar-square being " the finest site in Europ e "_ e a la its s though there was no such spot as the Plac e d Concorde, with its venerable obelisk, and gorgeous fountains, and its magnificent sculptural adornments •--and, above all, its unrivalled display of national edifices, revealing to the spectator in the north the palace of religion, in the south the palace of the Legislature, in the east the palace of the Government, and in the west, at the extremity of the glorious Champs Elysees, the famous Arc de l'Etoile, commemorative at once of the peaceful and warlike achievements of the Great NA POLEON. Opposed to this Place de la Concorde, however, we must needs, in the stupidity of our national egotism, vaunt the superior merits of Tra falgar-square—rendering ourselves ridiculous to every Parisian, by calling it, forsooth it, of all the places that could be selected, " the finest site in Europe !" Whereas, contrasting it with the Place de la Concorde, as the spot already pointed out for a jadicious corn • parison — Trafalgar-square reveals to the admiring gaze of the stranger, instead of an Egyptian obelisk, the unfinished NELSON Testimonial, to defray the expense of which England was mean enough to accept a bounty of 5001, from the Emperor of RUSSIA ; instead of the sumptuous fountains before mentioned a couple of ginger -beer bottles a on a pair of dumb waiters ; instead of a picturesque edifice like the Tuileries, seen through the perspective of an avenue the squat dome and pepper-castors of the National Gallery; instead of a classical structure, resembling what was once called the Chamber of Deputies, Northumberland House, surmounted by the effigy of a lion with a tale extended like an insane caricature of a finger -pest ; instead of the superb Madeleine, a shop informing her Maaesee's lieges in somewhat obtrusive characters that " c OLE e s Tauss is BEST ;" and instead of some colossal tro phy, such as the matchless Arc de l'Etoile, an eques trian statue of CRARLES the FIRST, which is falling rapidly into decay from neglect, as was pointed out only the other day by an observant correspondent. So much for the finest site in Europe"—a site all dust and glare in fine weather, and in wet weather, all puddles ! Justice would compel us to speak in somewhat similar terms of the rest of the public places and monuments of London, had we the patience to run through the whole melancholy catalogue. There is the marble arch, for example—that costly specimen of princely extravagance, which ought by rights to be 's Folly — ituck up at the elliirefieorese the F our th *,•,014. 41.; r •~~ ?~''~N. :~ • - • ; I ~. .~f~ ~: 1. -" dingiest corner of Park-lane as an appropriate en trance to the Edgeware-road! An alabaster gate to a pigstye would be just about as appropriate. Then again there is the Duke of YORK'S Pillar on the top of a flight of steps, and the Duke of Yons's statue on the top of the pillar with a lightning conductor sprouting out of its skull—suggestive, is a wag once remarked, of a receipt-file without any receipts. Among the latest architectural changes in the metro polis, absurdities not less remarkable are unfortunately , by no means difficult to be detected. As, for in stance, may be seen any day in the week in front of the new façade of Buckingham Palace in the ludi crous and abominable contortions of those heraldric monstrosities, the lion and the unicorn on either side of the centre gateway. ZSOP run mad could not have imagined any more eccentric zoological gambols. They would inevitably have carried anguish to the heart of M. BUFFON and dismay even to that of Mr. WOMBWELL. As to the pigtail of his most gracious Majesty King GEORGE 111. at Cockspur-street, that has been now for some time past reduced to insigni ficance as one of the laughable exhibitions of the capital by the equestrian, or rather what we are given to believe, was intended by the de signer to represent an equestrian statue of the late Duke of WELLINGTON, perched up on the sum mit of the triu m ph a l arc h a t H y d e - pa rk Corner—as if we were afraid that thi s di sp l a y of our bad taste would not be sufficiently con spicuous to foreigners. Equestrian, we say the monument is generally sup posed to be, th oug h w h e th er the animal bestridden by the effigy of the great warrior is a horse, or an ass , or a mule, or a zebra, it would be difficult even, we fancy, for Mr. GORDON CUMMING to conjecture. Contrast this preposterous testimonial to the illustrious Duke, or that other one in front of the Royal Exchange, looking down the Poultry, or the naked figure of ACHILLES near Apsley House, throwing himself into one of the attitudes rendered familiar to the public by the exhibition of the Poses Plastiques—contrast any one of these monuments with STEELE'S noble eques trian statue of the departed warrior recently placed in front of the Register House, o pp os it e th e North Bridge, at the east end of Prince's-street, in the city of Edinburgh! Any one who has seen these four very different testimonials will not require two seconds before deciding that the capital of Scotland has borne off the palm from the capital of England in doing honour by the aid of art to the glorious achievements of the departed Duke of WELLINGTON ! And so it is with reference to the majority of the varioas monuments adorning, no, not adorning, but absolutely disgracing the streets of our metropolis. Even the public works undertaken in London, principally with a view to purposes of utility, have been found, in several important instances, to be altogether inadequate to the wants of the population. There are the bridges! A statement recently made to the Court of Common Council by Mr. BENNOCH demonstrated rather painfully the indolence and nig gardliness revealed by the capital of England in this particular. Paris, with a population about one-third of that of our chief city, has, across the Seine, no less then twenty-seven bridges altogether ! Lyons, with a population about one-seventh that of our metropolis, has twelve bridges over the Saone and seven over the Rhone—making nineteen in the aggregate ! London, on the contrary, with the enormous number of 2,369,640 inhabitants, has thrown across the Thames only seven bridges from London-bridge, going as high up the river as the bridge at Vauxhall ! In stead of seven bridges, as Mr. BENNOCH observed, on the 23d instant, we ought to have, taking the ratio visible in Paris, actually forty-two, and taking the ratio visible in Lyons, absolutely no less than one hundred and thirty. two bridges over the river Thames, in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis. The contrast presented in this matter between London and the two chief cities in France, is lamentable enough, it must be admitted. Yet, added to the forgoing considerations there are two others which cannot fail to enhance the regrets of every one alive to the disgrace thereby reflected upon the metropolis of Great Britain. Notwithstanding the enormous sums lavished upon their construction and repair, two out of these seven bridges in London are already in a ruinous condition. That is one of the supplementary considerations to which we have referred. The other is, if possible, yet more disgraceful in its character, namely, that out of the seven bridges of the English capital only three are freely opened to the use of the population. There is London-bridge, which cos 35,6001. for the removal of the old bridge, and G 80,232/. for the building of the new bridge, and 1,840,4361. for the approaches. That is, of course, free, and it must be admitted that it is a noble struc ture, worthy of its name and of its situation. There is Southwark-bridge, which cost including the approaches 800,0001.--and to cross which you have to pay a toll of a halfpenny ! There is Blackfriars-bridge, which, every expense included, cost 210,0001. That is ano- ther of the free bridges, bat unfortunately it is one, also, rapidly falling away at the foundations. There is Waterloo-bridge, which cost exactly 1,000,0001., and which excited the unfeigned admiration of CANOVA—and to cross it you have also to pay another paltry tail of a halfpenny. There is Hungerford bridge, which cost 110,0001, and which likewise ex torts payment from the foot-passenger. There is Westminster-bridge, which cost 388,7001., and is free, but unluckily more ruinous even than the other free bridge at Blackfriars ! And, lastly, there is Vauxhall-bridge, which coat 150,0001., and which can only be walked over by the expenditure of another halfpenny. So that even out of the seven bridges of the metropolis there is only one that can be regarded with unalloyed satisfaction by the inhabitants—we mean, of course, London-bridge—the six others being _ _ either " tolled "or dilapidated. The melancholy truth is, that in London we are about as shabby and es blundering with cur bridges Es with our public monuments. Considering that our capital is so poorly supplied with the means of traffic to and fro across the river, we are gratified to observe the encouragement afforded by the Court of Common Council to Mr. BENNOCH'S proposal for a new bridge, to be called St. Paul's Bridge, and estimated to cost altogether 144,0001., a a point of the Thames situated between the bridges already raised (and one of them, we may add, already tumbling down) at Southwark and Blackfriars. But considering the disgraceful state of six out of the seven existing lines of communication over the Thames between the banks of Surrey and of Middlesex, we do think that it would be more rational to justify the old before adventuring upon any new expenditure, Reconstruct the bridges that are falling into ruins, or build others es close as possible in their vicinity, and remove the tollgates obstructing those now standing at Southwark, at Waterloo, at Hungerford, at Vaux ball—and then talk, if you will, of erecti ng an y number of new bridges that may be deemed advisable, tal , ing into sooount tho ettorntuus exigenuies of the population. The social economic changes 'which have taken place, and are in progress, in consequence of the Sale of Encumbered Estates in Ireland, are fartbzeotrt,iimnlgpBs4or,o-f, impor tant to be overlooked by the press. The the court commenced on the 25th of Novem and its proceedings are reported to the Ist of Sep tember, 1852. By this report it appears that the number of petitions presented for the sale of estates was 2,146, of which 2,389 have been dated by the Commissioners. The encumbrances, as stated in these petitions, amounted to 30,515,3161.; the net annual rental of the estates so petitioned to be sold, as laden with those encumbrances, was 1,450,000/. , the number of estates sold 772, realising 7,215,083/. ; the amount distributed among creditors (including 980,0001. allowed to purchasers being encumbrancers) was 4,250,0001., or nearly two-thirds of the sum produced :--the petitions on which the allocation schedule has been settled, the money paid to the par-1 ties entitled, and the proceedings entirely disposed of, 420 :—the 772 estates, or parts of estates, sold from the first sale under the Act (19th February, 1850), to the end of July, 1852, not quite two years and a half, were distributed in 4,062 lots, to 9 ,355 purchaser s ( o f w h om 120 reside out of Ireland), thereby 'more than trebling the number of proprietors : —the quantity of land that thus changed hands is about 1,050,000 acres, or one-twentieth of the sur face of Ireland, the Ordnance Survey making the whole area, exclusive of water, to amount to 20,177:446 acres: —the purchasers at and under 2,0001., are two•thirds of the whole number :—the greatest sales have been in Galway, to nearly , 10000001, and the least in the industrious, half Scotch 1 NDON, THURSDAY county, Londonderry :—the whole amount invested by Englishmen and Scotchmen is 1,100,1261.:—the average cost of each sale (including valuing, survey ing, printing, and law expenses) being only from 2001. to 3001.:—the sum remaining to be divided among creditors, 3,000,0001.:—the money which will immediately be expended in the improvement of the purchased estates, 3,000,000 L :—the sales effected were in 25 out of the 32 counties of Ireland ; the con veyances executed were as 2,311 as against 2,355 sales : —the largest purchases by Scotchmen even in Con. naught, being three-fourths of the whole, while the amount invested there were two-thirds of the sum realised—that is, where capital and improvements are most required, where distress was the most notorious, and where the decrease of population, by death or emigration, had been the largest. These are curious and valuable statistics. They show several important and gratifying results, and some which were wholly unlooked for. First, that, out of the Seven Millions sterling realised by the sales of Irish estates, fully Six Millions were Rid by Irish purchasers, th ere b y disproving the assertion that English and Scottish capital would be chiefly invested in Ireland. An• other is, that in Connaught, hitherto considered by far the wildest and most uncivilised part of the island, English and Scottish capital has been most freely invested. Thus, says one of our authorities, "63,000 acres of Sir R. O'DONNELL'S Mayo estate have been purchased by English capitalists, led by Mr. Asa.. WORTS, author of The Saxon in Ireland.' And now a large portion of even Achill, and the north shores of Clew Bay, are in the possession of English. men; again, in Galway, another set of English purchasers, Messrs. TIERNEY, EASTWOOD, PALMER, and ORR, are grouped on the shores of Ballinakill Bay, and in the vale of Kylemore. Large tracts have been taken on the Marquis of SLIGO'S estate by Eng lish and Scoflh gentlemen, and many southern land lords in the west have also induced skilful and enterpris ing agriculturists to settle on their lands by giving long and beneficial leases. Many tenant-formers, from the other side of the Channel, have settled in the Western Counties within the last three years ; but I have no means of arriving at even an approximate esti mate of their number ; however, the greater propor tion of English and Scotch purchasers is in those very districts of the far West, where the population has been most diminished, and where capital and im provement are chiefly required ; three-fourths of the total acreage being in Connaught, and two-thirds of the total amount being invested in the same province. The immigration, too, is confessedly not of an expul sive character; abundance of unoccupied land, pe rished from water, or the surface of which has been scratched in scattered patches for centuries, being in the market, and inviting the advent of a more lu crative system of culture. The number of English and Scotch purchasers, as well as the amount of their purchases, are also steadily on the increase. Up to January 31st of this year, the purchasers were one twenty-fifth as to number, and one-tenth as to the total amount of the purchase-money ; and up to July 31st, the proportion as to number is one •twen tieth, and as to amount about one-sixth of the total purchase-money." Emigration, which has so largely taken place, has had one good effect in Ireland : it has reduced the great competition for land. In the West, where English and Scotch were now settling, giving em ploy ment to the peasantry, the condition and con duct of the people was rapidly improving. At the British 'Association, Professor HANCOCK recently stated that an estate in Cavan had been bought under the Encumbered Estates Act, about two years since, by an encumbrancer, for 10,0001,, less than the average of the mortgage; and he had tried the ex periment of keeping all the old tenants on the estate, assisting them to improve their dwellings, and re ducing their rents to a reasonable amount, and the result was that everything had gone on prosperously, and the estate was now worth upwards of 10,000/. more than was given for it two years since. Not a tenant had left the estate, though some of them had pre viously determined to emigrate, money having been sent home, from their relations abroad, for the pur pose. Instead, however, of emigrating, they applied the money to the payment of their rents, and sent for their relations to come home. The whole rent was reduced from 1,900/. to 1,700/. a-year, and the new rent had been very punctually paid. Another circumstance was mentioned, as showing the prevalent respect for property, and the reward of enterprise in the West. A grocer from Hudders field, named Ennis, in opposition to the advice of a] his friends, opened a warehouse for groceries, Scc., in the wildest part of Connemara, to give fair value for ready money payments; and, whereas he was told that he would never take 51. a-week, his average receipts had been 601. a-week, sometimes upwards of 1001. a-week ; and the only difficulty this tradesman had was to keep the gentry out of his books.—No doubt ! they would not be " fine old Irish gentle men" without trying to get into debt with the shopkeepers I The Earl of MAYO, who had seen Mr. Emas's establishment in the wildest part of Conne mara, said it was equal to any shop in Regent-street, and if he Ind heard, before its establishment, that any person was about to open such a shop, ht Ro uld have thought him mad, but the result had proved the contrary. We finally arrive at the fact, that among the per sons for the sale of whose estates p9titions had been presented to the Commissioners, there were 2 Mar- guises, 15 Earls, 3 Viscounts, 1 Lord, 5 Barons, 6 Honourables, 1 Right Honourable, 20 Baronets, 5 Knights, 2 Counts, 7 M.P.'s, and 9 Ex-M.P.' s . Country gentlemen made up the rest of the 2,416 embarrassed land-owners. To these people, it must have been a relief to get rid of the splendid poverty, the pretence and the necessity, the nominal rent-roll and the actual want of means, which weighed them to the dust. What use was an estate said to be worth 10,0001. (and probably rack-rented to that nominal amount), when one-half of it was good only upon paper, as the tenants could not and would not pay the excessive rents they had promised, and when four- . _ fifths of what actually was paid went to discharge the mortgagee's interest or the bill-broker's usurious and ruinous discounts and renewals. The nominal owner of 10,0001. a year, receiving probably 1,0001. for his own use, would be expected, if a resident landlord, to live as if he really had the full income of his estate, and Iriah improvidence, vanity, and folly have tempted hundreds of this class to spend not according to what they had, but to what they wished the public to think they had. They could mortgage their estates, but generally entrils and marriage settlements precluded the sale of a part to preserve the remainder. So they went on, reckless and ruined, every year making them more and more embarrassed. The Encum- bered Estates Act has put these pretenders (for such the unfortunate and not quite innocent men are) into their proper position. Some have turned out paupers, some have secured a competency out of the wreck of their fortunes, and may begin life anew as unem- barrassed men. A new class of proprietors are being introduced into Ireland, to replace the rollicking, careless, debt-incurring landowners, who are good for nothing but to figure as the heroes of improbable fiction. Stern justice, sure in its track, has heavily stricken the Irish landlords to the ground. The day of retribution has arrived, and better hopes may be entertained for the country they so eagerly helped to ruin. Great was their offence, heavy is the ex piation. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM SCOTLAND.- We understand that the date of her Majesty's departure from Balmoral is definitely fix-1 for Monday, the 11th proximo.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 15,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 3,000 American and 1,500 Egyp tian were taken on speculation. The market closed with a hardening tendency, Americen id., low Egyptian' id., and good id. per lb. higher. The sales comprised 10,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranham at 6d. to 70., 300 Bahia at 60., 4,000 Egyptian at 6cl. to Is., and 500 Surat at 34d. to &id. per lb.—ln Railway Shares only a limited business was done. The six weeks' average official price of wheat is 42a., and the last week's sales were 106,800 quarters. The ship Blundell has arrived from Port Philip, but her dates are not later than the 17th May. A few in termediate items of interest will serve to illustrate the subsequent information we have as to the extraordinary productiveness of the mines, and among them we take the following:--- " The rains having now fairly set in, the road to the Diggings is again thronged with thousands, wending their way up, accompanied with dray loads of the neces saries of life. The extravagant rate at which everything is charged at the Diggings, has caused a great many of the more successful diggers to come to town, and proyide themselves with stores sufficient to serve them over the winter months. " That great success is still attending many of the diggers, the following instance which occurred this week will show. George Day's party of three returned to town with 250 ounces of gold, which they dug out of one hole at Friar's Creek, in the short apace of a fortnight, thereby realizing about 1,2501. each; and many cases of nearly equal success could be reported weekly, were it necessary to detail them, as a convincing proof of the productiveness of the Victoria Gold Mines over all others. A glance at the ar rivals by escort, and of the quantity of gold exported weekly, will at once show this. A new feature he 3 appeared lately in the disposal of gold by the diggers, which shows that th e quantity they are procuring is greatly on the increase. Instead of offering 30 or 40 ounces as formerly, it is now usually 6or Blbe weight; and, notwithstanding the great increase in the quantity, the price has kept firm at 61s. The Govern , ment gold of 5,000 ounces was tendered for and ac cepted at 61e 3d." It was proposed to build a new " wooden town" a short distance from Melbourne, for the especial accom modation of the numerous parties who would ficak back from the mines during the winr3r. It is stated in a communication from Melboutne, that the supply in the labour market was by no means equal to the demand. Parties would only engage weekly, and marrried couples and shepherds were much vented. It is not yet known whether the, Blundell brings any specie. _ _ _ The advices from the West Indies and Mexico, by the Parana, have come in sooner than was expected. On the whole they are, both in relation to the seasons, the state of the public health, and the growing crops, of rather a more favourable complexion. The amount of specie on board is 1,374,766 dollars. The Amsterdam Stockmarket on the 28th inst, was duller for Dutch Bonds, but very brisk for Spanish. The following is an extract of the letter received this morning by the Committee of Spanish Bondholders from their agents, Messrs. Fowles, Wilson, and Co., dated Bogota, 27th of August, 1852 : " We have not written to you lately, expecting from month to month to be able to give you some decisive answer from the Government, relative to the dividends, but the Government has been harassed with so many domestic cares, such im mediate and pressing wants, that to all our applications the only replies have been, that the state of the country during the last eighteen months has pre vented that attention to the business which the Government anxiously desires to give to it. That nothing would be more gratifying than being able to pay punctually their foreign creditors ; but the Minister of Finance always adds that he does not see whence the means aro to come to pay the increasing interest; that the country will not be able to pay. _ "As one of the chief causes of disquietude and expense has now ceased, viz., General Flores' expedition against the Equador, we shall take an;early opportunity to hold another conference with the Government relative to the bondholders' claims. " By a statement of the director of public credit there is now i❑ the hands of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. 19,9681. 183. 3d. towards the overdue dividends." The English Funds are rather heavy this morning, in the absence of any sales of importance. Consols bring par to 100 - for Money and Account. Excbegaer•bills have realised 70s. to 735., and East India Bonds 83s. to 863. prm. East India Stock has been quoted 276 i. In the Foreign Market, there have baen important changes in Mexican. Upon a statement in the morning papers, that 329,217 dollars had come forward for the dividends, the price rose to 26, but when it became known that this was part of the indemnity money, and not a por tion of the customs' receipt, and, further, that the political intelligence was very unsatisfactory, a rapid decline en sued, 25 to being the nearest rates. It appears that the country is in a most critical situation. The crisis, indeed, : in the view of parties writing over, has at length come. At Tampico Santa Anna had been declared, almost without opposition, and this example was likely to be followed. There are parties who con sider that his dictatorship would be a boon to the country, but we recollect sufficient of his corrupt administration, his pandering to the mili tary end Ms extravagrat expenditure, to entertain just!

MASON. IMPORTANT TO COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS IN 11 OIL AND VARN IS I I TRADE.—Plaintiff sought to teoT the sum of 17/, 12s. Od., for salary, expenses, and mission. The def.ndant paid 8/. 14s. 6d., and disputed the re. mainder of the account. For the plaintiff it was shown that he had ginally engaged as general traveller at 1001 a b ee n ork' 1/. a yfor expenses when on a journey, but I v he any commission. It was afterwards agreed that t salary should be 11. a week and a commission, and being sent to Hastings he charged for expenses and commission. The evidence was contradictory as to whethe the, plaintin was on the second occasion any agreement that was only to be town traveller, and it was thereupon On' tended that the only alteration in the terms was as to the mode of payment. The Learned JUDGE—It must be inferred from the s yeairt,shaon; nature of the terms that plaintiff was merely to town traveller, and therefore was entitled to m" expenses. Another objection was taken to commission being allowed on bills coming due after plaintiff left de' endant's service, as it had been agreed that,t b : commission was only to be paid on the money receive," The Learned JUDGE said that where the O A ployer himself agreed to take bills they must be treat! " as cash, and the commission fell dae when thi? b were paid.—Judgment was then given for the plauitift SPORT/NG NOTES. No. CCCXVIII. YESTERDAY'S RACING AT NEWMA RIKET, Sz.• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. night Sin,—The Handicaps and Plates that cl ose the before running are evidently in very bad rep ute at NW market; for, tor a long time past the entries have been so few in number, that in one case in three they do not produce a race. Yesterday we had an instance of tbis; for the T.Y.C. and D.M. Handicaps and 501. Plate did not actually obtain more than three entries each , li nt ' for a wonder, all producing a race—in each case t/in starting. was The case of Azael, for the Bedfords hire Stakes, decided yesterday by two of the stewards of theJockel Club in his favour. This decision shitestabli bean dent to act upon for the future, though, f fectly correct, the case for the Leicestershire fl cap, being just the reverse, must evidently be w rong. _,_ Notcalculating upon the starting of Stockwell for the Newmarket St. Leger, I naturally set down the race 5: a certainty for Frantic, who, as a matter of o. ars could do nothi ng w i t h hi s mighty oppo nent, Stockwell winning with th e most per fect ease b y two or thl lengths.

He had the race all his o wn way, w in 0 be d as he pleased. It is very singular that three of the two years old out this season—Pelion Larabton, 1%1 4 Vindex—are not entered for either the Derby or Leger next year. Hesperus in his match with Lapidist decided thePtstr! pidist, satisfactorily , enough: Hesperus, mooted some time since with respect to the sPee d , of roarer' winning in very clever style. rlvaee • The betting on the course led to the further a- how of the Knight of the Shire for the Cesarewitcb, w`: it price at the break up of the ring cannot be quoteafter more than 13 to 2.
