'breoglilrli_ :71111; LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1842 Nothing could be more happily illustrative of ti:e commercial prosperity and political tranquillity which are the peculiar cbarecteristies of the present age than the Speech from the Throne, delivered on the 20th inst., upon the inauguration of the Legislative Session of the States General by his Majesty the King of HOLLAND. Instead of allusions to war, or congratulations upon victory, there were references to the satlifactory appearance of foreign relations. " I receive," said the KING, in that stereotyped sentence of the reigning Sovereigns of Christendom, " constant marks of friendship and esteem from foreign Govern ments." Instead of an enumeration of territorial conquests, or a catalogue of prizes won in battle, there was a seatetnent in regard to the crops—the bloudlese conquests of peace and the guiltless prizes of agriculture. "The favourable prospects relative to the harvests in the colonies," observed his MA JESTY, " hale been compl etely realised. " Instead of haughty comments upon the subjugation of neigh bouring principalities, there were felicitati ons u p on the successful exchanges effected in merchandise. " The results of the sales made Busing the present year," remarked the Royal orator, "h ave been parti cularly favourable." Throughout the whole of the Address, indeed, there were evidences of that same serene and humanizing spirit which has tended cf late to forward so very materially the onward march of civilizetion. The preservation of order in the various provinces of the kingdom W 39 intimated in the passage which averred that " the execution of th r , provincial and commercial laws had made considerale e progress in general," insomuch that the KING ad.. mitted that he found reason to exult in the " effica cious co-operation of the provincial states and the commercial a d ministrations." The only allusion made throughout this interesting Speech from the Throne to operations, or rather to projects of a warlike character, was one eminently indicative of those very peculiarities to which we have already re ferred as illustrative of the present age—the peculiari ties tendieg to enforce the Maintenance of commercial prosperity and of political tranquillity. Fot it Watts to the vindication of the principles of humanity and i to the better stabilitation of the system of mercantile engagements. "On the invitation of a friendly power," said his MAJESTY, in this portion of his Ad dress to the States General, "and in following out the track which was commenced in 1844, I have pro mised my good offices in favour of an attempt to obtain modifications in the system of exclusion hitherto maintained by the empire of Japan." Re collections are hereby agreeably revived of that generous enterprise upon which the United States of America—the " friendly power," implied by the King of HoLLAND—have recently resolved to adventure : an enterprise rendered inevitable at last by the sys tematic cruelties indulged in, almost "time out of mind," by the barbarous severity tolerated, perhaps we should more correctly say, directly authorised by the Japanese Government. From the infamous na ture of these cruelties, and from their lamentably frequent recurrence, it has become, at length, absolutely necessary for some one of the more civilized races of the world to in terfere with a strong arm and with in flexible determination. Upon no power in either hemisphere has the responsibility of this interposi tion more immediately devolved than upon the Re publicall of North America —seeing that the mariners of the United States have been more re p eatedl y than Japanfrom thet towards any other navigators sufferer f s displayed by the empire o strangers indiscriminately, even towards su c h as have been accidentally driven upon those inhospitable shores by stress of weather, or , by the calamities of actual shipwreck. It behoved the Council of Wash ington, therefore, to adopt such measures as were best: calculated to prevent th e repetition of atrocities so heinous, and, elsewhere we rejoice to think, altogether unparalleled. Therefore it was that the Republican Administration presided Over by iyhu.AnD Frumorts re so l ve d no t l ong a go to send v a warlike expediti on to J apan, capa bl e o f ex- , o torting promises of future good conduct from the members of the Japanese Government. For the purpose of rendering this humane expedition in all essential respects more effectual, it will be observed, from the passage we have excerpted from the Royal Speech delivered to the States General on the 20th instant by the King of HOLLAND, that the democratic administrators at Washington have secured the co operation of at least one other of the maritime powers of Christendom. Under these auspices we doubt not for an instant that the expedition against Japan will prove eminently successful—as successful, indeed, as could by possibility be desired by the most devoted lovers of humanity and by the most earnest well wishers to the sacred interests of civilization. It is satisfactory, moreover, to observe from the Royal Address inaugurative of the Legislative Session of the States General that Holland has during the past year been spared the repetition of those calamities to which at one time she was unhappily becoming, in a really fearful manner, habituated. " Our dykes," said the KING, " have been wholly exempt from disas ters. This has enabled us to carry on the works of improvement, particularly those on the principal rivers, with the more energy and success." Another, and a very noble illustration of the fortunate results of the leisure consequent upon the continuance of peace among the European populations —one, moreover, which was subsequently enforced in its significance by the gratifying declaration of his MAJESTY—" I witness with much interest the growing development of the spirit of enterprise among our peop!e in agri culture, trade, and commerce, as well as in the mul tiplication of the modes of conveyance." Further on the King of HOLLAND bad the gratification of asserting, and with perfect accuracy, " The measures adopted by my Government tend to encourage and strengthen this development." How far the onward movement has already extended may be recognised by three remarkable declarations—firstly, that "the works for uniting Holland with the neighbouring states by means of railways and electric telegraph communication are prepared, and on the point of execution ;" secondly, that during the past twelve months "navigation and maritime constructions have been equally prosperous ;" and thirdly, and in some particulars, of all, the most important, that " the financial state of the country affords ample ground for satisfaction." Such are the principal features in that Speech from the Throne with which his Majesty the King of HOLLAND re cently inaugurated the new session of the Dutch Le gislature —a Speech which, as it was singularly in unison with the generality of those Royal Addresses which are eminently characteristic of an age of in dustrial toil and social tranquillity, so it happily closed, like the rest, with a touching recognition of the homage due to the ineffable supremacy of DIVINE PROVIDENCE. " May our united efforts to accomplish the task that still awaits us," said the KING, " . be crowned by the blessing of GOD !" We have com mented thus in detail upon the Royal Address de livered upon the 20th instant to the States General of Holland, because we have considered it to be sa tisfactory, not only as indicative of the prosperity and happiness enjoyed by that country in particular, but as peculiarly and very agreeably expressive of the p prosperity and happiness pervading now-a-days th e majority of the rest of the nations of Christendom. The committee appointed by the Admiralty to in quire into the suitableness and capabilities of the ports of Galway and the Shannon as a Transatlantic Packet Station, in connexion with a harbour of re fuge, have published their report, a copy of which will be found in another part of this day's impression. It is an important and apparently well-considered document, and carries it with the authority attached to the names of Captains BEECEIEY, SMITH, and CAFFIN. It is, however, much to be regretted that the investigation was so limited in its nature as to prevent the claims of Yalentis, Berehaven, and even Cork Harbour from being taken into consideration—claims we cannot help thinking susperior to those discussed in the 2 nro t d a e r a t oefOopaitnfleawy report, and which are not liable to the strong objec tions put forward by a majority of the committee to both Galway and the Shannon,%nd which prevented them from feeling justified' " in recommending either of these ports as suitable to a service re quiring the greatest regularity and dispatch, and under the necessity of being run for in all weathers, day and night." far as it goes, and subject to the drawback above referred to, the decision is favourable to the Shanno n , and • t t h h ea coincideni more T or a e r bmi gives a preference to Poynes rather this i the position to be selected. We fully comparatively not merely on account of required—for th on such a point the expenditure y onsands more or less is a trivial p a i e m lz p et or sT t t a ah n tie c o e n , but chiefly matter of co en account of its works should be advan tages conaieted when the necessary part of the question is simple. To render Galway secure and suitable for a These p la e r c g u e ni a a n ry d that sum. more complete extensive works would be required. works decreed essential by the committee, could not be cpolannsterunuctldednuandbeern2a2rrii,e6dooo/;t wuhnidleerthdeouble Looking to every circumstance, the committee have come to the conclusion that at the lowest estimate 230,0001. would be required, and tlicaotinindtehpe present to t f the extension of the railway terminus to the pier, which would have to cross the stream from Lough Corrib, and would therefore require a heavy outlay. This, however, the companY would probably undertake if the question were thereby to be decided in favour of Galway, and their line wade the great trunk line for the passenger traffic between Europe and America. On the other hand, Tarbert would require for pier and basin 75,0001., and for extension of railway—a single line to Limerick, to join the existing railway there, 137,0001., making a total of 212,0001., for which, however, we would have 34 miles of railway additional. Foynes, again, would only require the construction of a pier and am all breakwater, costing 13,0001., and twenty-four miles of ra il way , a t an expense o f 90,000/., ma ki ng in all 103,0001., less than half that required for either of the other :points. It is also better sheltered than Tarb ert, which, however, being more extensive, would afford greater accommodation when the projected works, had been carried into execution. Both Foynes and Tarbert would also have the advantage of pos sessing a capacious rivet',suffi cientl basin at Li mer i c k, adjoini ng t h e wide and deep at its entrance t o receive fpa packets required when needing re pir. l hheis, c ourse, is an e l emen t o f cons id era ble a t , importance in the calculation. Additional light houses would be required either for Galway or the Shannon, but as they would be desirable under any circumstances, they may for the present be eliminated from the equation. . _ In point of situation—and that after all is the great question to be decided—the committee unani mously give a decided preference to the Sh annon ; and they are justified in so doing by the arguments put forward in the report, to which we would earnestly invite the attention of all persons interested in the subject of more speedy communication with America. Nevertheless, as we have already stated, the claims of Valentia, the most westerly harbour of Europe, and shortest possible line of communication with America, have been disregarded. The report of the late lamented Commander WOLFE, after a careful survey of that port, shows how eminently suited it is for the required purpose. It possesses " sufficient area of deep water for all the steamers in the navy." " The shelter from all points is not to be surpassed in any harbour, and the holding ground is of the best de scription—mud and sand." The narrowness of the entrance constitutes the only real difficulty, and that was not regarded by Com mander WOLFE as very formidable. He says, " al though in heavy north-west gales there will appear from outside a line of breakers across the en trance, yet a well-conditioned steamer may safely be carried through, and a good leading mark may be easily established, which may be fearlessly run upon. I have watched it in heavy weather, and never saw a continuous break. It is matter of doubt whe ther the passage of the Needles is not on the whole more difficult and intricate than this entrance." With respect to the railway accommodation, the line from Mallow to Killarney is now in course of construction, and will speedily be completed ; and an Act has been obtained, and a company formed for the purpose of extending it to Valentia. Should it be considered advisable in any case for vessels to touch a westerly port, is order that important intelligence might be transmitted, Valentia would possess an incalculable superiority, as very little delay would be occasioned in pro ceeding to the ultimate port of destination. On this point the contest would certainly lie between Valentia, Berehaven, and Cork. We have no doubt that the matter will be fully discussed in Parliament, and it is of too much impor tance to the best interests of the nation to let local influence or jobbery prevail. Our only object is that the best and most suitable point should be selected — that the coveted prize should be bestowed on the most eligible claimant. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. The French mail had not arrived at the time of our going to press. We learn the following by electric telegraph : MM. TRIBAUD and JAPE; the Ministerial candi dates, have been elected for the third and fourth cir cumscriptions of Paris, in place of CAVAIGNAC and CARNOT, resigned. CAMAS, the Ministerial candidate, is elected at Lyons. With regard to the system adopted in the construc tion of the infernal machine seized at Marseilles, we are informed that it resembles greatly . that made use:of in 1835, by FIEsCHI, excepting that the number of cannons is more considerable, and consequently the effect would have been more terrible. FIESCHI'S machine had only a single range of can - non. The present represents a parallelogram, the top of which has 26 cannon. Beneath and on either side are two compartments, in which are four rows of 12 cannon each, making 48 cannon for each compart ment. In the centre of the bottom there are two tromblons. All the cannon are about from 30 to 35 centimetres long. They are made in pasteboard, lined with metal. The compartments are strongly held together with screws. A sulphured match is so placed as to be able to let off all the cannons at the same time. Thus the explosion would be terrible and instantaneous. _ . The theatrical censors have of late become un usually strict in Paris. A piece was to be actel for the first time at the Porte St. Martin Theatre yes terday, which has been so often altered by the censors that very little of the original work of the author re mains. The drama is called Richard 111., and the author is M. VICTOR SEGoUR• The principal objec tion made to the piece was that the character of the hero was drawn in too strong colours, and more espe cially that he was represented as too ambitious. The words tyran and usurpateur, which occurred in some of the scenes, were ordered to be struck out, and at the end of the piece the cry of "Vive la Rose blanche" was suppressed, as an expression which might be mis understood. The vintage bas commenced in the south and in some of the vineyards on the Loire and in Cham pagne. The produce in Languedoc is regarded as of such bad quality that there is a presFing de mand for old wine, which has risen considerably. Old wines have risen full fifty per cent. in price within a month. At Angouleme, in the Charente, red wine is worth 40f. the two hectolitres. At Beaugency it is said that both the quantity and the quality of the wine is but middling. Letters from Bordeaux announce a general rise in the price of wine, with every appearance of a further advance, as it is feared that the vintage will be infe rior both as to quantity and quality. The consign ments of wine arriving at Bercy, which have been scarce for some time, were more numerous last week from Marseilles, Bordeaux, and Bayonne ; but the arrivals from Burgundy are rare. It is said that the wine-growers in that province have but a small stock remaining in their cellars, and that their demands are so exorbitant that they can find no buyers. There has been no change in the price of brandies. The speculators purchased so largely at the first announce ment of a bad vintage, that there is a considerable quantity on hand. The following article on the Belgian question ap pears in a Ministerial journal of Rouen : " Even when the relations between France and Bel gium had a decided character of intimacy and confi dence, the French Government never consented to allow its hands to be tied, by including coals in a commercial transaction. It was then perfectly natural that the Government of the Prince President of the Republic should reserve to itself the same liberty; and it had also good cause to feel astonishment that in demand ing a right which had beers constantly refused it, Bel gium, lar from wishing to purchase it by certain con cessions, announced the intention of restricting, in an important point, that of woollens, the clauses of the preceeding convention. On the whole, a charge the more for France, and an advantage the less—such were the conditions laid down by the Belgian Government for tho prolongation, even temporary, of the system in vigour since 1845. Whatever was our desire to obtain that pro longation, we could not pay such a price for it, and the negotiations ended simply in the conclusion of a sepa rate arrangement for the suppression of piracy, which was made on the 22d of August last, in exchange for some reductions of duties on certain Belgian pro ductions. The situation was then as clear on one side as on the other. Belgium freely renounced the nego tiation of a new treaty, and we became free to consult, in the regulation of our tariffs, only the interest of our industry. Now, since the cessation of the treaty those interests have been compromised, not only by the application of the common law, less favourable than the treaty, but en account of the privileges which certain manufactures enjoy in Belgium. The lowness of our tariff on coals, which we should not,have modified with out grave reasons, constituted for our neighbours a po sitive advantage, which we only allowed them to enjoy because the treaty of 1845 afforded compensations which we no longer possess. In this state of things the French Government could not close its ear against the demands of national commerce, and refrain from providing means for re-establishing an equilibrium. These means consisted in the increase of the duty on the coals and cast iron of Belgium. Before having re course to this extremity, it had recourse to a last attempt at conciliation, and, without disguising from the Belgian Government the necessity under which a refusal would place it, proposed to it to carry into effect, purely and simply, the treaty of 1845 up to the Ist of January next, and the immediate resumption of negotiations for a defi nitive arrangement. These overtures were rejected, how '.r, and we found ourselves forced to carry out our reso lution,. This is a result which we sincerely regret; but it appears from the statement of th e f ac t s th a t w e made severy effort to prevent it, and it would be a mistake to sup • bn theie northernc rea s e of frontier dut y sudden n e d cart-iron y t hmeasure, importedpo pose t h that ica on our p art the desire to constrain the Bel g in ia d nG ti o n v g ernment to submit to unacceptable conditions. In that measure there is neither surprise nor menace; there is only the exercise of a right which it cannot have been seriously believ e d : that e se t e , re wh n e u t t s entitled to use , and the consequences of which were , certainly calculat ed by th Government w ierim e n it rejected demends which only tended to the provisional maintenance of a system in augurated under a Govern ment which Was c ertainly not s uspected of malevolence tovearOe Belgium.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA has commissioned the Minister of Finance to open a communication with Rome in order that negotiations may be immediately entered into between the Papal See and Austria for the onclusion_of a concordat. Tll3 Weiner. Zeitung announces that the sum of 25,0W,000 of guilders from the new loan of 80,000,000 has been assigned to cover the deficit that will 133 occasioned by the withdrawing of paper cur rency to that amount on the 29th September, when 200,5(0,000 florins, partly in Exchequer•bills and partlyin bills upon ;he Hungarian territorial income, will be publicly destroyed.

The journals mention the suicide, in prison, of the Nestor of German thieves, burglars, and swindlers, by Thane JOEL FRIEDBERG, who had attained the seventieth year of his age and the fiftieth of his pro fession and after a most brilliant and successful career fell recently into the bands of justice, and Knowing that the remainder of his days must be passed at hard labour, ended them with a " bare bodkin" This man, who carried on his depredations on an extensive scale, from Posen and Breslau to Cologne and Frankfort, was implicated (according to the totes inscribed in his journals and ledgers) in almost all the great burglaries, robberies at railway stations and so forth, that have been perpetrated in recent imes; and by aid of disguises, and in con nexion with his co-religionists, the Hebrew receivers in varitus towns, long succeeded in baffling all at tempts at detection or capture.

The Ministry, however, so far from de termining by this to deprive the Chamber of the opportunity of signifying its confidence, or want of confidence, has determined to bring the vote of con fidence to an immediate decision, and clearly to define tteir position to the Opposition, or rather to the Chamber - of Deputies, by making the re•election of the member for Brussels, M. VORHAEGEN, as Pre sident, t Cabinet question. M. VORHAEGEN has been selected by the Ministry to bring the Cabinet ques tion tot settlement, because he has been regarded Ca by binet opposition as the organ of the policy of the ITALY.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. _ _ _ The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales, of which 2,560 American were taken on speculation. The market closed firmly, and, as compared with Friday's rates, American at sd. to 51c1. were up. Other kinds were also higher. The sales comprised 6,500 American, 1,500 Egyptian, at 6d. to 11d., and 200 Surat, at 32d. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares continuo dull at lower prices. The many new companies that are being brought be fore the public present different claims for support; some fair, others doubtful. Banks, established on a sound basis, with an adequate and not excessive capital at the outset, but yet with the power of calling fur increased subscriptions, must act as a powerful lever in our colonies. Judiciously ma naged they bring out the latent resources of the different possessions, and stimulate pro duction. At the outset, however, it is inex pedient to have too large a capital paid up, for this necessarily leads the managers to the precipitate ex tension of business, and to consequent risk. By a libe ral, yet firm course, the most severe periods of commercial reaction may be happily got through. The Colonial Bank is probably the most striking recent example of Ole, having lost enormously by the revulsion in the West Indies, and yet by dint of extreme vigilance, by cessation of dividends, and with the support of a handsome reserve fund, the lost capital has been to a great extent restored, and with the experience so dearly bought the Bank may henceforth enjoy a comparatively prosperous career. The now Australian banks may probably answer well, but it should be rather by the extension of monetary facilities in fresh channels than by unwholesome com petition with the existing institutions. In the common course, Australia, grown suddenly rich, must need larger banking accommodation, but she wants no lavish advances to her settlers in the time of their ease, to be withdrawn upon the day of pressure. It is not many years since that sheep, cattle, and wool were driven up to enormous prices, and imports were extraordinarily increased from England, until the memorable Australian panic ensued, that brought down the price of live stock to a ruinously low point, forcing the owners to boil down their stock for the sake of the tallow, and beggaring men who for years had believed themselves to be men of substance. This trying ordeal at length got through, though a weary time it has been for Australia, we are now lighting upon a new era, and it will depend upon the policy of the banks whether they enhance or retard the prosperity of the colonists. We have seen already one or two important banks started upon British capital run aground or dragged through the mire of our chancery courts. First in im portance will be the duty of keeping up an adequate supply of coin, and offering convenient arrangements for the transmission of bullion, nor will even the establish ment of local mints altogether relieve the banks from this task. What has been done in South Australia should teach us the importance of adaptation to circum stances, and it is surprising, in the face of such practical evidence, to hear objections started to the course pursued at Adelaide, in stamping gold ingots to pass current there at 31. 1 ls. per ounce. If it could be shown that gold was not worth 31. Hs., or if there were no mother country with a fixed standard, open as a last resource, we could understand the cavilling. What is now predicted by some, concerning the probable future embarrassment of South Australia, because she is buying gold beyond the value it may hereafter command, would apply correctly enough to England, which has no neighbour so simple as to relieve it at even 31. 18s., of the metal for which it has allowed without the slightest re ference to supply or demand, the unvarying price of 31. 17s. 104 d. When we alter our standard, then will be time for the Government at Adelaide to lower its terms. The projected Bank of India requires a passing notice now we are treating upon an analogous subject. India is a country which suffers frequently from temporary fluctuations in the exchanges, and large shipments of silver have alternately to be made from this side or the other, while the demand upon the Hon. East India Company for bills alternately flags or rises in a ratio anything but satisfactory to steady-going men of business. If a new bank can assist in this respect it will be really a boon, and it has an especial field among the native population.

So far as we have been cleared ave yet beard, accounts seem generally favour.. able, both as regards yield and quality. The quantity is certainly equal to—in some places perhaps el' ceeds—the original expectation of the planter ; in quality th 9 hops are very good. The average betting is from 255,0001. to 260,000/. ; whilst maul persons have been heard to express an opinion that t h e dutY will be still higher. No doubt can be enter tained that it will be, under any circumstances, if not the least, highest that has ever yet been pai—at bars of Irish hoppers passed through second only to any previous year.

Even if the d . u ! pays 50,000/. or 60,0001. more than the consumptiwo ar we must not forget that when hops are so well gro._. as_ they are this year, and prices reasonable, an.__l.,,u d th ucement i held out for the speculator to come Jr, e markets and if he does he will soon take 011:07 surplus over and above the consumption.
