Mr. Hicks has bee n f or some time ast in England, the present Colonial S- cretary will have the advantage of a personal communication with the three leading and highly-gifted men of. in ray bumble opinion, the three most important colonies of Great Britain. Fortiniately for us, for,Sir John Pekin:lton, and for., these gentl,upn, the delegates on North American Rail ways, we have now at the head of the affairs of this mighty empire a high-minded nobleman; who has not only hail the experienee of a Colonial Minister, having held Chet responsible (ace himself, but w ho, moreover, has had the talent to iiiicover, and the wisdom to proclaim in his place in the House of Peers, the great value to this country of the whole of our North American p tssessiores—and - sure:am I that your correspondent, "much interested in the Colonies"—need: not have any apprehension that "a British Parliament" will be asked even to" suffer the right and property of a company to be trifled with, who hive subscribed their capital on the faith of certain advantages and privileges being ceded to them." As regards the variety of.plans to which your correspondent 'alludes, that have been sub mitted to the local and Imperial Legislatures, to the in jury of the St. Andrew and Quebec line, I will not at tempt to waste your time, nor intrude upon your space by entering into any detail or explanations of them—this more so, as I am not the least inclined to dispute these - points, and -am quite ready to concede to that company the merit of being the first in the field in active railwey matters, and of having nobly dared to go to work, whilst others only telked. lam also quite willing to admit that the New Brunswick Company deserve every encouragement as a bold local body. employed in me iltablie tool measures— that it is in the pewer,of of our Gnvernment, with jus tice to - other colonies, to cooler upon it—hut having aatd so much, I regr, t I cannot go further in, any agreement with your correspondent; all other matters I must hold Open to -discussion.- Arid first I will refer to his remarks concerning myself. Your correspondent says that I "affect not to be 'aware of the existence of an under taking, &c., &c , &c., now in actual progress." Now two of the paragraphs to which I allude was intended, as an aeveriieenaent in favour of - the company, calling itself the St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Com pany, in my opinion merely un nom de guerre. The joke might perhaps be excusable, but it a wilful misconceps . tion of my letter has been assumed to insert an adver tisement without payment, or for any other improper purpose, such conduct is surely unworthy of any re spectable party. lam quite unaware of any affectation on my part either of knowledge or of ignorance, nor rim I aware of any part of my letter from which y..ur cur rewondent can have.drawn his inference. That a com pany existed calling itself the St.. Andrew and Quebec Railway Company I was quite aware, • and I happened.' to return from North America with Captain Robinson, son-in-law to Admiral Qwen, ,who your correspon dent is aware, I dare say, are both much_ interested in its success; but 1 wait not aware, nor am I now aware, that beyond _the province of New Bruns wick this company had any authority, any land, or any Acts, either. of the local or Imperial _Legislature in their favour—and. I rather guess, as our brother Jonathan would say, they have none ; on the contrary I always understood that the chief object of the railway was to tap the river St. John, near Woodstock ; and thus carry away from its rival, the town of that name, the trade which now_ flows into it, to the town of their patron, St. Andrew. Nor was I ever aware, nor hes your cor respondent convinced me, that this company would connect by a" trunk lino" the " whole of British /*forth : America.," seeing that St. Andrew's is quite otit of the lines from Halifax to Quebec, and never having heard that Halifax arid St.-Andrew's—or more properly I should say Nova Scotia and New Brunswiek—had even ever communicate d with each other on snob a pro A truck line, indeed, from Halifax to the United Mates sea ports might pass through Sr.. Andrew's, but ' no eniperical trunk line to connect the British provineei ought ever_ to take 'het most .roundabout routes The - "illy advantage that I can scathe St.- Andrew's and Quebec line could cive the provincee would be to connect them, if they vvi,died i with 'the Bay of Fundey—some would say a • very questionable good ; however, sir, as the Llimouraoli-, and what is better, the highly talented Mr. Chandler is here, as well as he other delegates, no doubt that justice wall be done to all parties, and I hope also to the mother country. The colonies all have my best wishes, not merely on their own account; but on ours, and I irus', with your cerres pendent, that all local petty jealousies will he laid aside," even those of the " St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Company," and that they will not consider the comple tion of their undertaking " essential; to the interests of The colonies, and their permanent. connexion with the British Crown," but allow that other lines may be of equal, it not greater, colonial and Imperial importance.

Midas and Harpsichord are doubtful starters; but may go for the off chance. In the list I have given above of . the starters for the " Two Thousand," I have named three from the Dine- . bury stable, but I should hardly think that more than a couple Will start from that quarter, Flints being tho pick of the basket. Father Thames I believe, will be re served for the Newmarket, Stakes. Three of Lord Exeter's, including Ambrose, are on the non-starting list. Stockwell is the representative of that . stable. I have marked Womersley as a dubious runner, because for some time past h e h as not been qu i te " the thing." Wingenund and Iloulakin have been sent to Newmarket for their other engagements, not for this. Greyleg may be added to the list of starters to-morrow, but wheth er he runs or not it matters little, as he cannot wio.

Yesterday morning the claims which this association has upon the public for support were very ably advocated in a sermon preached at St. Thomas's Church, Bream's buildings, Chancery-lane, by the Rev. J. Redwar, the in cumbent.. The text was taken from Jeremiah, 15th chap., 16th verse, " Thy worth were found and I did eat them, and thy word was unto me the joy and re joicing of mine heart." The reverend minister, in ex pounding the text, described the Holy Scriptures as the great messenger of love and mercy, and said that all should labour to make their families, children, and ser vants acquainted with the Word of God. The congre gation present could doubtless all read as well as possess the sacred book. Theirs was no class Bible—no locked book, but to many it was a locked—a sealed book. The Scripture reader, however, had gone forth with the Bible in .his hand, reading the Word of God at their own fire-side, by which the most encouraging results had been produced. This good 'work had been going on in this and many other parishes for upwards of seven years. The readers were now 116 in number, deriving their income solely from ;the funds of the Church or England Scripture Readers' Association, and which funds had become so inadequate to meet the expendi ture that the association, though reluctant, contemplated withdrawing some of the readers. To prevent this he would urge the congregation as a Christian duty to con tribute liberally. From the circulars placed in the church, it appeared that' the eighth annual meeting of the association will be held on Tuesday next (the 27th inst.), at the Hanover square Rooms, under the presidency of the Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, when the chief recommendation will be that a strenuous exertion should be immediately made to raise 2,0001. The Reverend Gentleman's eloquent disoourse pro duced a very liberal collection at the doors., " WRITE SOON !" (From Eliza Cooh's Journal.) Long parting from the hearts we love Will shadow o'er the brightest face; And happy they who part, and prove Affection changes not with place. A sad farewell is warmly dear, But something dearer may be found To dwell on lips that are sincere, And lurk in bosoms closely bound. The pressing band, the steadfast eye, Are both less earnest than the boon Which, fervently, the last fond sigh Begs in the hopeful words, " Write soon!" "Write soon!" oh, sweet request of Titled How tenderly its accents come! Wo heard it first in early youth,' When mothers watched u s leaving home. And still amid the trumpet-joys, That weary us with pomp and show, We turn from all the brassy noise To hear this minore cadence flow. We part, but carry on our way .

(CONTINU: , D ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,—On Wednesday the 21st, the House was cc cupied by a debate of three hours on salmon. It appeared to end in nothing, but an asseveration from both sides of the House, that salmon do not "with draw before civilization." I cannot help holding the contrary of this to be as certain, as that trout have withdrawn from the waters at Sun Bridge. It is understood to be admitted, that within the memory of men now living, there were trout in that troubled stream ; a fact which it is possible the modern gene ration of Bradford may be inclined to view as an at tempted imposition on their credulity. The self same kind of reasons which have removed trout from disporting in the centre of your market-plaee, will operat e to cut off the harvest of salmon to be expected in the Irish rivers. To sewage, gas-water, and the refuse of manufactories, which may be considered as common to both localities, may be added in the case noOf Isaryeligannd the disturb ance o f s t eam -b oa t s . Th ere i s how this may affect the nerves of a falmon. He is clearly a creature in a high degree possessed of the organ of love of country ; for though he lives in the water, he is not content without returning to the nook where he was born. His feelings therefore on finding his native nook disturbed by the splashings of steam-paddles, may be of the acutest order. It affects even eels, who are scarcely fish at all, but bor der upon serpents; much more then salmon, who are the royalty of fish. But there is a more fearful cause than any of these. There is the number the Irish intend to be eaten. It is to be feared they de sire to eat their salmon and-have their salmon; which is proverbially impossible. It would be a curious question to determine, upon knowledge of all the habits of the, population of salmon, what is the maxi mum of fish of valuable size, it would be possible to cook annually and keep up the numbers, on the supposition that there was as perfect a control over all the processes of destruction as a hen-wife pos sesses in her poultry-yard. But as it is certain this perfect control cannot be had, it may be held to be certain that this maximum will not be maintained, and that salmon will diminish before the advance of civilization as kangaroos do, in spite of all that both sides of the House of Commons can do to prevent it. On Thursday the Taxes on Paper, Advertisements, and Newspaper Stamps, were brought forward in what might be called an exhaustive speech, by the Member for Manchester (Mr. Milner Gibson). The reply of the Chancellor of the Exchequer was based entirely on taking advantage of the false moves of those who appear as attornies for the people. His reply was virtually this, " You bring heavy com plaints against the effect of certain descriptions of indirect taxation. There are probably no others of which you would not as heavily complain, if the question was of removing them. But if indirect taxation is to be removed, the amount must be laid on direct taxation. Now do you of the popular party understand your own minds upon the subject of direct taxation ? Have you determined, for instance, whether direct taxation ought to stop at certain classes, or be imposed on all ? And have you settled whether the possessor of a temporary income is fairly taxed by taxing him temporarily or whether he is not ? Till you know your own minds on points like these, how can you expect me to make alterations in taxation ? I will do nothing of the sort, but hold on pertinaciously to what I have." There is no denying that this is ably and effectively taking advantage of the blunders of adverse coun sellors. While these leaders cannot find out, that the fact of being outrageously overcharged on the indirect taxes, is a reason why the poorer portion of the in dustrious classes should claim to be exempted from the direct, they must be in the position of an attor ney who could not discover that his client's having a bill against the guardians of the poor, should be a reason why he should have a set-off against the gene ral poor's rate. " 0 but," this attorney is expected to say, " how unjust it would be if all did not pay alike !" Not, it would be replied, if the fact is that the lower incomes have been paying at ten or eleven times the rate of the rest on another account. Now this is what your attorneys cannot see ; so I recom mend your trying another firm. The mistake, too, of not discerning that the tem porary incomes being taxed temporarily is to the uttermost farthing in exact proportion to their value, is equally fatal to the clients concerned. As long as these mistakes go on, an adverse Chancellor of the Exchequer must be denuded of genius, who cannot make them th e groun d s f or bl ow i ng y o ur cause out of the water as often as he likes. It is written above, that till men manage their affairs right, they shall go wrong ; the wor se f o rtune f or th e users of print and paper, on whom the experiment is destined to be made. On Friday the Militia Bill was debated, with little result except a tedious debate and an adjournment till Monday. The leader of the late Administration declared his intention of voting for its being read this day three months. _ I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. Blackbeatb, 26th April, 1852. ARRIVAL OF ROSAS. FALMOUTH, APRIL 22.—Her Majesty's steam-ship Conflict arrived here last night from Buenos Ayres, last from Queenstown, having on board General Roses, his daughter, and other fugitives. The party landed early this morning at Selly's Greenbank Hotel, and afterwards drove into the country on an excursion. They visited Carelew, the seat of Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., M.P., but the Hon. Baronet bad left two hours previously. If the wind be favourable, the Conflict will probably leave to-morrow morning for Portsmouth, with her passengers. THE DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBERLAND'S ASSEMBLY. —On Saturday evening their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland entertained a distinguished circle of the aristocracy to dinner, at Northumberland House.

By the Ba n k R e t urn o f April 10th, it appears th a t the stock of Bullion in both departments of the Bank: was 19,245,2991., being a decrease of 351,202/. This circumstance is thus referred to in the City article or the Times : _ _ " The amount of coin taken for shipment to Australis. durieg the past fortnight has been very large, conseque n t upon the intelligence that th e p r i ce o f gold-dust had iallen to 575. per ounce at Melbourne, and to 608. p er ounce at Sydney. This circumstance, coupled with the payment of the dividends, has led to a considerable de crease in the Bank bullion, which shows itself this week to the extent of 351,2021, and which will also probably affect the next return." Our readers who have heard of the absurdity of " sending coals to Newcastle," may perhaps at the first sight of . this be surprised at hearing of gold being just now sent to Australia. But a little consideration will show why sovereig ns coined at the rate of 31. 17s. 100. an ounce, are sent out to a country where gold is selling, we are told, at from 575. to 60s. an ounce. A sovereign in England, and in all our foreign dependencies, and in deed throughout the commercial world, has an artifi cial value given to it. Gold-dust is at its natural value at Melbourne and Sydney. In consequence of the increase in the quantity discovered, and therefore in the supply, the price has declined. But a coined ounce of gold retains its artificial price : it is legal tender for a debt of 3/. 17s. 100. The digger will, therefore, exchange his gold dust for a bit of gold of considerably less intrinsic value, because that which be obtains is not only gold but money. He will be equally ready to part with the " precious me t a l" f or a bit of paper of no intrinsic value whatever, be cause he knows that such paper has an accredited value, and is convertible into food, raiment, lodging, and the necessaries and comforts of life, with t h e greatest facility. Thus we read of the banks in Melbourne and Sydney sending notes up to the dig gers to purchase gold dust. It would have been well for mankind—well for this country of England —if that very intelligible idea which the acumen of Bishop ilerkeley enunciated long ago, when he asked " whether the true idea of money, as such, be not altogether that of a ticket or counter ?" had taken possession of the national intellect. Gold mines, copper mines, or silver mines would, without doubt, on their discovery, increase the trading capital of Australia and promote its wealth. But can we fail to see that if the ." ticket or counter " be formed of paper, or some valueless commodity, the whole of this newly acquired capital may be applied as an article of commerce, in foreign trade, while the " ticket or counter " is dis charging the function of money in the colony ? And again, as the wealth and population of Australia increase, it will of course require more " tickets and counters" to carry on their trade, and exchange commodities. But if they retain gold counters, who can insure the increase of gold in proportionate quan tities ? But you may insure the increase of a paper circulation to the exact amount adequate to the requirements of the country. Now what (let us say it with due respect to the national intellect)—" what is sauce for the Aus tralian goose, is sauce for the British gander." Let us hope that these gold discoveries, which Providence in commiseration of man's ignorant and infatuated worship of the " precious metals " has brought about, will open our eyes to the true use and value of silver and of gold. Useful and pleasant they are as articles for man's service, and, as the Jews applied them, for "tinkling ornaments" for the young and fair. But as Locke said, " gold is not fit to be a nation's money." It is not the money of commerce, of progress, of civilised man. It has had its day. Let us turn to a monetary system adapted to the days in which we live. A representative money system, based on sound philosophy, approved by science, and carrying with it elements conducive to the prosperity of millions of the working classes, and to the moral development of the nation's greatness.—Derbyshire Courier. THE CURRENCY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "DERBYSHIRE coraiurt." Chesterfield, April 22, 1852. Sir,—As your valuable journal has so long taken the first rank, and with so much talent and assiduity, as an advocate for a change in the currency-laws of this kingdom, I beg to enclose an appeal made to both Houses of Parliament by the father of the late la mented Premier, Sir Robert Peel. The argument appears to be so plain and so convincing, it may, perhaps, induce your numerous readers to turn their attention more generally to the subject, which ap pears to be of such paramount importance to the pros perity of the country at large. I remain, Sir, yours truly, NEMO. SIR ROBERT PEEL. TO THE MEMBERS OF BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. My Lords and Gentlemen,—Will you permit an old man to address you on the subject of our currency? I sat in Parliament thirty years, during which time I fre quently heard this important question discussed in the House by Mr. Pitt, Mr. Fox, and other distin guished characters. On the passing of the Bank Re striction Act, I was entrusted by tee merchants and cit:zens of London, to present their petition against the measure. Though my opinions were embodied in their case, my best endeavours to serve them were not sue cesstul. Having been long and extensively engaged in commercial dealings, I often witnessed a national em barrassment arising from a defective and impure cur rency, which resembled the present stagnation in trade; and I lament to observe, that suffering and experience have failed, in this instance, of producing their usual good effects. In the enlarged scale of business, carried on by this country, embracing a great variety of pur suits, a reliance on a metallic circulation alone ever did, and ever will, fail us. Gold, though in itself massy, often disappears in consequence of war, or speculation; nay, the breath of rumour itself is sufficient to disperse it. Our domestic cones rns are interrupted and confi dence lost, for want of an ample and approved medium of traffic. I am no friend to an unrestrained issue of paper money, and saw with concern, in the absence of a due quantity of specie, bills admitted into circulation issued ev id e ntly unable to meet a su dden and lar g e demand by persons of respectability, possessing property, but upon them. More than two years ago I mentioned to a friend high in his Majesty's councils my fears of the mischief likely to ensue if the practice were not discon tinued; accompanied with a suggestion to confine future issues of paper money, or tokens, to the Bank of England that most of the 8 07; a a a n r d i other ty in competentland the publicbod i es f o u f n m d s e , n , e awhonal wouldc a nals, give buildings, other tangible property ; amounting, at least, to one half of the value of their bills or tokens in circulation. My proposition was not favoured with any notice, yet a s t d r o e p s t e e n d o l w a s al o opinion se o v f erely felt in,the nation would eedenndisvoided. If such an improvement in the banking panica av d e i t been been banking system could be made available, gold would e be come less r equisite, and the country be supplied with ain discovesroinogne: stationary medium of exchange originating with a li resources . sthan the 011T seise& Whilst directing the energies of the State • Pitt evinced equal ability want a pplyingour e cu internal niary m e improving, and w T a h 0 f The war drained the country of its specie, and our enemi es be 1 n effected war, b Mr. y san guine hopes that our ruin w ould entertained courage, dis cipline, and conduct in our e armi es. Mr. Pitt was more than a match for a ll contine' eneice. With the aid of the Bank of En g l an d an d othe r opulent houses, the energies of Great Brit a i n were maintained in full activity, and the importance and utilit established. Ingenious y of paper money were clearly our manufactures, andth machines were introduced into ti ' on afforded them greatly • e encouragement and protec tion the demand for our goods at home and abroa our merchants easy access to aour foreign superiority markets, wealth derived from trade and commerce (tiough to some persons it may appear paradoxical) more than co vered the whole expenses of the war. When the Mi nister had recourse to loans, they were speedily raised by British c a pit a li s t s , an d th e increase of the public debt was due from ourselves to ourselves, and resolved itself into a family account without impairing the national property. Mr. Pitt having succeeded in securing peace and independence to the empire, whilst devoting his sole attention to the affairs of the public, suffered his own to be very much embarrassed. Many of his friends wished to extricate him from his difficulties, and requested me to learn from Mr. Rose in what way he could best re lieve him. His re ply was, " Mr. Pitt is the most unac countable of human beings, and will prefer living in a garret to being indebted to the bounty of his friends." Though disappointed, the opinion I had long enter tained of this able Minister's high character was not diminished. The present panic and distress in the country have been declared by high authority to proc ee d from " over trading," and "wild speculation." Infant nations and establishments are liable to miscarry from want of ex perience and solidity. Trading and speculation being natives of this island and parents of our wealth and independence, are surely exempt from such an imputation. The same authority h as declared that " gold and paper money are incom patible with each other, and cannot exist togetbfr." .. n The population and trade of the empire 10, he medium much increased, a proportionate increase in _g s d i found of circulation is called for; and when go r; which, if sufficient, recourse must be made to p °p os e ted, the two improved on the principle already nogg a ocket without substances would be found in the sam e p disunion. a ameliorated, I trust the currency may be ame n ded Anxious to see our s ituatio n . without changing or impai r . commercial character; which measure, if the national thepolicy of ' if resorted to, would rese mble river thath di verging from its course a power ful .had long given fer tilityand happiness to a large district, merely because • it had from excessive rains,sometimes exceeded its na tural limits, and produced partial injury.
