COSISIITTAL OF A CHARTIST FOR SEDITION—On Friday George Webber, a notorious sedition-monger, from Halifax, was committed by the Bradford magistrates to York Castle, under a bench warrant, to take his trial at the next assizes for littering seditious language at a Chartist meeting held on Toftshaw Moor, near Bradford, on th e I:2th of June last. The pri soner had for a considerable time been in con cealment, and he was one of the fourteen persons who were apprehended early on Wednesday- morning last while in secret conclave at a so-called Temperance coffee-house in Manchester. e c d A , r. at S t 'r h u e D G E , N o T r . g — e I t 4 h a e s t F o a u f t r e t r h: noo D n E A A jr. ll ße O df F ord A co l‘ n i c E lu n d l Gilbert-passage, Clare-m ar k et, an adjourned inquest upon Joseph Witney, a medical student, who was be• lieved to have poisoned himself at the " Elysium" wine rooms, Bridges-street, under the circumstance already stated.

CHRONICLE,.—AIthough we approve of the mode in which the House of tiommons disposed, on Tuesday night, of Mr. Herries' attempt to induct his twa.and-forty hearers to bind over their six hundred absent colleagues to a mortal discussion, in February next, of the Bank Act of 1844. it from no desire to see the discussion f that measure evaded, to exclude from publicity whatever inculpatory statements are contained in the report made by one, and the evidence taken by each of the HouseL* of Parliament. Assuredly these documents deserve to be well sifted end considered ; and as supporters of the Act, it is our desire that this should be done. The principal grounds relied upon by the Bight Honourable Gentleman for regarding the favourable verdict, of Le Select Committee as disentitled to weight, ware first, that the composition of that body rendered it nn unfair tribunal ; secondly, that its report was at variance with the bulk of the evidence ; and, lastly, that the Committee of the House of Lords, whose Re port was framed, as he thught, more in accordance with that evidence, had directly c ondemned the provisions of the Act. In answer to the first charge much has been said already which it seems needless to repeat. The real ques tion is, whether a fair proportion of all who hold prominent views, or represent prevailing doctrines, have been ap pointed; and, above all, whether the Committee fairly re presents the entire body from which it derives its powers. Now, according to either of these tests, the composition of the Committee cannot fairly be impugned. Its majority comprised the principal financial members of the past and the present Administrations; but in its minority were the leaders or representatives of. every sect and school of currency theorists known to the public. There were Mr. Wilson, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Cayley, Mr. Muntz, Lord George Bentinck, Mr. Disraeli, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Herries himself. Again, that the ma jority of the Committee perfectly represented the majority of the House, we apprehend to be beyond dispute. The debates in November last, and on subsequent occasions, have clearly manifested the state of opinion that prevails in the present Parliament. Under these circumstances, it appears not a little unreasonable to complain that the Chancellor of the Exchequer. in forming his Committee, did not throw the balance of Members into the opposite scale. Next, as to the objection that the report is contrary to the evidence. If we measure it by quantity it may be true; and the same result is not unfrequent even in the trials of courts of justice, since the conclusion that is adopted is not that of the witnesses but of the jurors, who sift the testimony and adjudicate on its value. The most eminent and experienced statesmen of the country were selected as a tribunal to try the merits of the Act of 1844, with such information and assistance as the evidence of professional and practical men could afford them ; but if the latter were themselves more competent to de. cide the question than the wisdom of Parliament, the inves tigation by a Committee at all was a vain and cumbrous superfluity. We value and respect, as highly as Mr. Her ries can do, the intelligence and sagacity of those leading members of the trading community whose opinions are re corded in the Blue-book, but we venture to doubt whether, after all, the practical man, as he is called, the professional banker, or the merchant immersed in business, however valuable witnesses as to facts, are the persons best qualified to form a sound legislative opinion upon the subjects in which they are interested. We do not consider lawyers the best judges as to what the law ought to be; we would not be guided by naval men as to the policy of the naviga tion-laws, nor by schoolmasters upon the subject of national education. The report of the Lords' Com mittee was evidently drawn, as Sir R. Peel observes, by no friendly hand to the Act, for it implies an hostility which it does not venture to embody in any broad or efficient propo sition. Able, dexterous, and elaborate as the document is, it is stultified by its lame and impotent conclusion. After convicting the Act of a material aggravation of the panic of October, and arraigning its inefficiency to regulate the value of money, to restrain wild speculation, or to check the abuse of credit, it does not venture to suggest its repeal, or even its modification, except in one respect—a power of self relaxation, which was contemplated at one time by the au thors of the law themselves, but advisedlyrepudiated by them upon cogent reasons. And to whom is it proposed by the Com • nsittee to entrust this power? Strange to say that after giving an implied, though negative, sanction to the principle of the Act, which is avowedly founded upon a dis trust. of the responsibility of the Bank of England, and after exhibiting fully in their own report, with quotations from the evidence to the same effect, that erroneous management of the Bank authorities which precipitated the crisis of April, 1847, the Committee have concluded in favour of vesting the dispensing power in the authorities of the Bank itself. If the statute is to be thus amended, and Mr. Herries should be disposed to bring in a Bill for that purpose early in the next session, we venture to suggest to him that an Hite; ation in the title of the Act of 1844 is absolutely necessary, and we would propose the following amendment:—" An Act to re strict the Bank of England from extending its issues, and also ter enabling the Bank of England to dispense with such restriction." POST.—No one disputes the adroitness of Sir Robert Peel vs a Parliamentary debater. It will be observed that in the Right Hon. Baronet's speech of Tuesday, upon the Currency Law of 1844, he commenced in a jesting tone, and talked for a considerable time upon what he assumed to be the reme dial plans of Mr. Spooner, and the theories of a Scotch gen tleman of the name of Horner, who died a great many years ago, and who is chiefly known to the present generation by a monumental statue in Westminster Abbey. Having done what he thought enough in this way, he endeavoured to bring the motion of Mr. Herries into discredit, be' showing how few Me►nbers of the House of Commons attended to it. _ _ Ile had himself come down last Tuesday, in order to be pre sent at the discussion, and notwithstanding what had been said about the country feeling intense anxiety on the subject, he found only thirty-five Members present to listen to the discussion. On the evening on which he was speaking he had again come down, and he found there were only forty-two Members present. Was it, he asked, to be for a moment supposed that a resolution carried by such a House would have any great influence with the country? The Right Honourable Gentleman said that when the time for discussion did arrive he would be ready to uphold the policy of maintaining all the restrictions of the Currency Act of 1844. Mr. liume, a member of the Committee, declared in his place in the House on Tuesday night, that every fact brought forward was against the Act of 1844, and all the witnesses, with the exception of certain official persons in the Bank of England, were against it too. He denied that the report of the Committee of the House of Commons was entitled to the confidence of the pub. lie, and affirmed that had the truth been reported, it would have been to the effect that the measure of 1844, from which so much good had been anticipated by Sir R. Peel, Sir C. Wood, and the rest, did really aggravate the evils which it was intended to remedy. The public, therefore, require from Sir I:. Peel, not a promise that he will discuss the measure when the proper time comes—not a solemn asseveration that he has no wish to stifle discussion, but an explanation of the apparently dishonest conduct which prevented a just and in dependent decision on the part of the Committee of Inquiry in . the present session—an explanation of the conduct by of fe .haiffsairo—.wnintmerefearseudrei.n which he succeeded in stifling the judgment which would have been p assed . had not lie—a person directly concerned in ru to les sa o: H contempt e ta k takes all a care, the however, l arY. justice. Sir Robert Peel is very ready to testify in favour as little as possible about tfie facts which really test that measure. " I fi rm l y b el i eve, " he exclaims, that the restrictive clauses of the Act of 1844 prevented the country from adding, in April last, to political panic the dangers of commercial pressure." W hy speak of April ? It was not in April, but in October, that the action of the Currency Law of 1844 was felt. Th e Ri g h t H onourable Gentleman affects, when it serves his purpose, to have much more regard for the practical th an t h e theoretical. Why, then, does he bring forward his c on j ectures cor.cerning Apr il, while he keeps out of view the f ac t s o f l ast October. lie supposes the case of 48,000,0004 of Bank paper being afloat in the United Kingdom, with 15,000,000/. of bullion in the Bank of England. It was said, he remarked, "that that 15,000,0001. was a dead weight of gold lying idle, but it was no such thing. The issue of 15,000,000/. was a certi fi cate that the gold had been deposited, and the gold was a guarantee for the convertibility of the whole of the 48,000,0( 1 01. Looking at the facility •of this country to obtain credit, and looking at the evidence before them, he did not think that the restrictions of the Act of 1844 cou ld prove injurious." We cannot be surprised, when we rea d such passages as this, that plain men should say they really cannot understand Sir Robert Peel? pow can a depos i t of 15,000,000/. of bullion by any possibility be a guarantee for the convertibility into bullion of the whole of 48,000,0001. hi notes? What can be more evident than that, if it be a guarantee at all, it is only a guarantee for six shillings i n the pound. No doubt, under ordinary circumstances, it establishes a probability that the proportion of note-holders seeking payment in bullion will obtain it; but it is no guarantee. If a general rush for payment took place, i t is clear that some would be paid in full and the greater number not paid at all, or that all would he paid at the rate of about six shillings in the pound. When the working of the Act of 1844 first came into dis cussion, the House was told (by Lord George Bentinck, if we rightly recollect) that it was a fair-weather measure, but utterly unfit for stormy times. It will is not be easy to mend this account of it. So long as credit abun dant, and there is no pressure for money. the Act of 1844 has no . effect at all. As soon as circum s tances call its provisions into action, then it becomes a horrible infliction upon the country, and places every branch of industry which is at all connected with credit at the mercy of usurers. In other words, it con signs to ruin all industry which is dependent upon credit. This is the character of the measure as proved by experience; but it suits the convenience of Sir Robert Peel to shirk all the testimony of experience with regard to its working. He likes b e tt er to speak of his belief and his conjecture. If he refers to events, it is to something about a gentleman who xvas dead an d b ur i e d l ong b efure even the Act of 1819 was i n existence. This is your practical statesman! IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—Durinv, the first trial of Mr. Kevin O'Dohertc, at the Commission Court, last week, the t:olicitur:General, Mr. Ilatchell, made some observations in reference to strictures upon the conduct of the Attorney-General, which Mr. Butt, the counsel for the prisoner, looked upon as containing per sonal reflections upon himself. When the commission closed, Mr. Butt, it i s state d , ma d e a communication, through a third party (Alderman Hudson), requiring an xplanation of those remarks. The Solicitor-General, it is said, gave a reply to the effect that he did not in tend any personal imputation whatever against Mr. Butt, and thus the matter has terminated. Mr. Butt has published the correspondence as follows: " THE STATE TRIALS._.. IR. BUTT AND THE SOLI CITOR -GENERAL. "TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING PACKET.'

It rained incessantly. Nearly the whole of the tents of the 74th Regiment were being blown down— even the mess-tent,which was well secured, could not withstand the violence of the storm. Although the country is apparently tranquil, still few arms are delivered up. The encampment is ex pected to be struck in eight or nine days." THE HARVEST. The weather continues better, but still far from settled. The reports of the grain crops are, in many instances, very discouraging; but the injury c aused by the rain is only partial. The potato blight is still making At the Dublin Corn Market there was an advance o n all kinds of grain, and the new wheat at market to - day as indifferent in quality. progress.

FRESH ARRESTS OF CHARTISTS FOR CONSPIRACY. thea of MANCHESTER, iiEDNESDAY.—During the p ast week mornin g they yrest have the Chartists i n this town have done what they cou l d to turn the conduct of the authorities into ridicul e; and some of those who were arrested last week hav e ta lk ed loudly about commencing an action for false imprison bmeeennt.thrDowurninigntloasntoevbetntlien several leaders, both of those who were b a il e d out last week and others; and also by the anno uncement that a true bill was yesterday found against no f ewer than forty -six persons, by the grand jury at Li verpool, for sedition. After the examination of the eviden ce ta k en g consternation and this last week, upon the recommendation of their legal ad. visers, the magistrates determined to prefer au indictment against a much larger number than those who had been arrested and held to bail, being assured that they were not the only parties which bad been guilty of seditious proceedings. Application having been mode to Mr. Jus tice Cressvvell, at the Liverpool assizes, the grand jury was detained till yesterday, that the police might be able to collect evidence in support of a bill then to be pre sented. assembled a little before eleven ' 1 k The grand jury oc oc , and at great length heard the witnesses. About half-post two o'clock the foreman of the j ury stated in cow t that they were unanimous in finding true bills against the whole forty-six defendants. As soon as this announcement was recorded, Mr. Pollock applied for warrants agains • t all the individuals named, who were not already in custody. This was immediately acceded to by his Lordship. Information was forwarded to this city by telegraph, and officers were sent to ap prehend the conspirators. The first apprehended was James Leach, a printer, as he, was leaving Whit taker's Temperance Coffee-house, Ancoats• street. Sub sequently George Clarke Cropper, a well-known Chartist orator and lecturer; Michael Carrigan and James Fli nn , who w ere stan di ng at the door of the police-office, and re cognized by Mr. Berwick, were taken. When the last named three were brought together in the police- office, they set up a great shout, and were with some difficulty checked. In the course of the evening the following individuals were safely lodged in the Town Hall:—Wil liam Henry Chadwick, a mechanic; Thomas Roberts, a labourer; James Dolan, Thomas Rankin, an engraver; Michael McDonough, a clothes dealer, commonly called " Big Mick ;" Joshua Leaman, William Burton, an umbrella maker; Mark Hulme, Robert Ramsden, a Porter; Thomas Webb, a well-known Chariot of 61004_ -1 IT N AUGUST 24, 1848. , port (where he was arrested); 'William Heap, and Peter Feeney, a clothes dealer. About two o'clock this morn ing, Joseph Spooner, a cabinetmaker, was taken, as he was entering his dwelling. Besides the above, there are others against whom warrants have been issued, and who have riot yet been apprehended. All the prisetters were brought into court this morn ing, and, as might be exported, considerable excite ment was manifested. The mayor and a full bench of magistrates were present, al,o Captain Willis and Captain Sheppard. The town•clerk appeared on behalf of the authorities; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Roberts. Those persons who were arrested last week and bailed out, were first placed at the bar. Four of these (two of whom had been, brought by officers ' from other towns) did not appear. The town-clerk said that since the prisoners were last before the bench the authorities had deemed it advisable to prefer an indict ment against all the prisoners at the bar and a consider able number besides ; in consequence of which true bills had been found against forty-six persons by the grand jury at the present Liverpool assizes. He should not have any evidence to offer before the magistrates on the charge on which they had previously been brought before them, as that charge had been preferred in another and more formal shape. As the prisoners were now in a different position, he should say that he hoped the court would take care to procure such bail as would se cure the appearance of the prisoners at the assizes. Mr. Roberts charged those parties who had brought the prisoners there with want of faith, a pledge having been given that they should know the nature of the charge brought against them, which pledge had not, he said, been fulfilled. He believed the preferring of the bill of indictment was for the direct purpose of prevent ing them from knowing the exact evidence.l Mr. Maude said the first course of the Bench would be to discharge the prisoners from their recognizances, and to discharge their bail. He asked that a list of the bail to;be offered for those under the bench warrants should set forth the names, occupations, and station in life of the parties. After considerable discussion on several points, the magistrates retired, and after an hour's consultation re turned, when Mr. Maude stated that as Mr. Roberts ap peared for all the prisoners, the rest of them need not appear at the bar. Looking at the aggravated charge, by which alone the Bench was guided, and the circum stances of the prisoners, the conclusion to which they had come was the following:—Mr. Burton to give bail in two securities of 2001. each, and his own recognizance for 4001. The bail and sureties for the rest varied from 2001. to 251 Mr. Burton's bail was given on the spot, and he was discharged. FIVE O'CLOCIL—No other prisoners havo been taken to this hour. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Admiral Sir William Hall Gage, G.C.H., Commander• in• Chief, struck his flag at DevOriport on Monday, and has arrived in town, to attend the medal committee as sembled at the Admiralty. Rear-Admiral Superin tendent Sir John Louis, Bart., attends to the duties of Sir C. Napier's squadron remained at Cork on the the port during Sir William's absence. 20th. Neither the Pilot nor Tweed had joined, but were expected that day. We have much pleasure in announcing that the Ad miralty have promoted Mr. Bellamy, Assistant Master Attendant of Portsmouth Dockyard, to be Master At tendant at Woolwich Dockyard, vice Elson, deeeased. This selection of their Lordships reflects the greatest credit on them for their discrimination and impartiality. Mr. Bellamy's promotion is purely one for merit, and their Lordships in appointing him, not only reward a most highly deserving officer, but they secure thereby the efficient performance of the most reepousible duties at a dockyard port. Mr. Bellamy, it will be recollected, was associated with Mr. Watts, now one of the surveyors of the navy's assistants, in getting off the Sphinx, steam-sloop; and, in fact, bad charge of the most perilous portion of the work. Captain Caffin was promoted mainly for his partial assistance in this enterprise, and Mr. Watts was also promoted for his services on this occasion. Their Lordships have now done justice to Mr.;Bellamy in taking the first opportunity of promoting him. It will not be forgotten that Mr. Bellamy ren dered most valuable and successful assistance in getting off the Great Britain steam-ship from the rocks at Dun drum Bay. The appointment of the store-receiver at Deptford dockyard, vacant by the decease of Mr. Pernbrook, has been conferred on Mr. Wilcox, the chief clerk of that establishment ; and Mr. Peddle, of Deptford, has been promoted, vice Wilcox. There were numerous candi date, for this appointment, both for the paymasters' and pursers' list,and from one or two departments at So- So merset House; but Lord Auckland observed in this case the same rule as he did in tilling up the vacancy of store keeper at the Reyal William Victualling-office some tittle since, by conferring a dockyard promotion on a Joeltyanl officer. The I:Zev. David Caron has been appointed chaplain to the Ho% t", 120, in the Mediterranean.

The Resistance, troop.frigate, Commander Julian, on her way from Quebec, on returning to Portsmouth, after landing the 93d Regiment at Leith, will proceed to Sheerness to be paid off. The Hermes, steam - vessel, Martin master, left Devon port for Portsmouth, to take the supernumeraries to Cork who were to have gone in the Sharpshooter; when done she will return direct to Devonport. Woonwicx, AUGUST 23.—The Black Eagle steam vessel, Master Commander S. B. Coolt, has received orders to be kept in readiness to proceed to Scotland, as she will form one of the vessels of the royal squpdton during the Queen's visit to that country in September. The Princess Alice, Dover mail steam-packet, is or dered to be got ready by Friday morning next, and Lieutenant-Commander Scriven will take her oqt of the basin on that day,.and proceed with her to Dover to re sume her duties at that station, as Captain Smithett will be ordered round to Woolwich with the Vivid steam vessel, the latter to form one of the royal squadron. The Spiteful steam-sloop left Woolwich at five o'clock on Monday morning under the charge of Lieutenant Robertson, assistant to Captain Austin, C. 13., and made excellent speed down the river, having arrived at Sheer ness at halt past nine o'clock A.m., in good working l osm o order, and she no w rema i ns at that port. The Monkeyat Portsmouth r t u h steam-vessel Dock-yard went d, and own partthe r i o v f e r t h y e e )'ester day eerh day morning with M r. B ellamy, Assistant-master At tendant who brought round the Gleaner steam-vessel. Mr. Bel lamy took the charge of the Termagent steam frigate, and was to try her • with canvas and steam to-day, and, it' she was found perfect, navigate her round to Ports mouth. The Monkey returned in the afternoon, towing the Adventure transport store-ship Woolw ic h. to T h e Monkey left Woolwich again this morning, with orders to stop the Sharpshooter steam-vessel, the latter to be taken into Sheerness instead of to Woolwich, as pre viously ordered. The Monkey, on arrival at Sheerness, towed the Ganges to that port. The Myrmit:on steam-vessel was in Wick Bay on the north coast of Scotland on Friday last, on her way to the coast of Shetland, to protect the fisheries in that quarter. - - WOOLWICH DOCKYARD BRIGADE.—The whole of the artillery end infantry companies of the dockyard batta lion assembled in uniform on the parade ground, at three o'clock P.M. yesterday, and marched to the en trance of the Royal Arsenal, under the command of Lieutenant• Colonel Lung. When they arrived there the artillery companies proceeded on to the Plumstead Marshes, for practice with six 9-pounder field battery guns, each served with 14 rounds of shot, Major Jenkins commanding. The practice range in the Marshes, being comparatively free of vessels in the river, the men im mediately commenced firing, and made excellent prac tice, seven shots out of the three first rounds striking the target at 750 yards' range, and No 6 gun in the fifth round knocked down the target. The eight compa nies of infantry entered the Royal Arsenal under the command of Major Mouchet, and eight targets being set up at the butt, the men made good practice, completely riddling the targets, showing that mechanics make ex cellent marksmen when instructed in the use of either large or small arms. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, W EDNESDAY. The Queen and Prince took their usual early walk this morning, and the younger branches of the Royal Family walked and rode in the grounds at Osborne, as well as the Must' ions visitors at present remaining at Osborne. The royal dinner party yesterday included her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, and the Baroness de Speth. The Queen will hold a Privy Council to-morrow (Friday), the 25th inst., at her Majesty's marine residence, Osborne, Isle of Wight, at one o'clock in the afternoon. Summonses were issued yesterday from the Privy Council-office to the Ministers and Officers of State. Mr. John Thornton (Deput} - •Chairman of the Stamps), Mr. Peacock ( Solicitor to the Post-office), and Mr. Titnni (Solicitor to the Legacy Duty-office), had interviews with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday, at his official residence in Downing-street. SOUTHAMPTON, W EDNESDAT, AUG. 23. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Montrose, Captain Bowen, with the mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Oporto, Lisbon, &c., is expected to night or to-morrow. The American barque Hebron, Captain Hart, with 2,735 boxes of sugar from the Ha vannah, and the American barque Emily Taylor, Captain Claussen, with 615 hogsheads of tobacco, from New Or leans, arrived off Cowes yesterday for orders. A NOVEL DEFENCE.—A man was brought up on Monday, at Preston, charged with having been drunk, and creating a disturbance in the previous week. Be hoped the bench would pardon him as he had only been attending a temperance tea-party, and Dad had a little drop too much. . FRENCH GRAIN.—The steam-ship James Watt, from Havre, has brought 200 sacks of flour, and 26 of maize or Indian corn. This is one of numerous arrivals of grain and flour which have recently taken place from France, the produce of that country. MONEY and COMMERCIAL IN E WS. CITY, QUARTER 7'O THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was more ani mated, but holders sold willingly, and prices were barely sup ported. Sales 5,000 bales, The Railway Share market had been more buoyant, although there was not much done. Private letters received from Canada state that the French party, with Lafontaine at their head, being in power, now show themselves in their true light as the weakest and most vacillating set of men that ever presumed to govern the country. One writer expresses his sorrow that Lord Elgin is so much under their control that he does not even invite to his table parties who might be objectionable to them. After all, however, we think some allowance should be made for the difficult position of his Lordship. Other objections are also urged, but in giving them, we do to without being sufficiently fortified with facts to com pensate the want of local experience. The commercial letters written by some parties advert to the gradual diminution ct the revenue of the province, with its fixed liabilities, and it is contended that the difficulty arises from the defective ad ministration of the financial affairs of the colony, which the issue of floating debentures undertaken by the Government, and to be received in payment of taxes and duties, will only temporarily relieve; while ultimately tending to a derange ment of the provincial currency, by becoming depreciated, then speculatively taken up by capitalists, and imme diately paid in for duties, &c. Our correspondent says that this will add to the commercial embarrassments, and cause a diminution of so much sound currency. Canada, he goes on to remark, wants a strong practical Government, composed of men of position and character, whereas the French Canadian Government is most unpopular. We have culled portions of the letters that have been shown to us, because everything from private sources, which tends to throw light upon the administration of colonial affairs, is in these times important.. Whether the views expressed be correct and Impartial, those most conversant with Canadian affairs will be capable of judging, but oftentimes a political explosion occurs, in some distant possession of the mother country, before the generality of readers have even heard of the existence of discontent. The accounts from Paris are still of a comparatively unin teresting character in regard to financial matters, which no one can judge of beyond the time present. The collection of the revenue must be progressing, or there could be little prospect of the Dividends being paid upon the Public Debt. It cannot be denied, judging from the votes in the Assembly for the liquidation of the Greek claims, the compensation of slave owners in the West Indies, &c., that the French representatives are desirous of maintaining good faith with their creditors, and although we disapprove of the measures adopted, :in the matter of railways, whereby parties who in tended only to make an investment in a company are com • pelled to become Government Stock holders, we must make some allowance for the crisis that has overwhelmed France, and from which nothing but her own sense of honour and her determined energy could enable her to emerge. It would be well, indeed, were Spain, Mexico, and other nations upon which the English bondholders have claims, to imitate in this respect at least, the conduct of France, but the pro ceedings of the Mexican Congress leave but little hope of such a course, for now money is coming into possession of the country, obtained, too, by unusual means, the United States indemnity, the Republic, like to many others in South America, no mere pleads poverty, but actual disin clination to reduce its debt. Something, we trust, however, may yet be done to shame it into honesty. There is nothing later from Denmark, but the steamers leaving England for Hamburgh have resumed the convey ance of cargo. No conclusion can be arrived at from what took place in Parliament last night as to the amount which Government may need for the relief of Ireland, and although the accounts received from Dublin are better, much interest and some anxiety are expressed for the details of the budget. The finer stale of the weather has given strength to the market for the public securities, and as politics abroad are apparently more settled, and satisfactory explanations were given in the House of Commons last night upon the views of Government, as respected Naples and Sicily, the disposi tion among speculators, especially if the doubt concerning the Government monetary requirements were satisfied, is rather to operate for a rise than a fall.
