SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC jOURNALS. The cry now is, that Lard Melbourne is denied by the Aristocracy of the Peers a degree of support which was given to Lou', Grey ; therefore Lord Melbourne cannot carry oat the Government. Lord Grey, it is said, had a force in the Peers, short by only thirty of the whole Conservative Peerage. Lord Melbourne has only some thirty-six companions in his minorities, therefore Lord Melbourne ought to resign. This topic of the Tories—trembling within the meshes in which, by their own too-daring obstinacy, they are now netted—discloses the very pinch of the question. at issue between them and the people of these united islands. True it is, Lord Melbourne is met by an op position more violent. more perverse, more confident, than that over which Lord Grey triumphed. But why is this ? Is it because the Incasures of Lord Grey were more palatable to the Tory Peers than the plain and necessary results of those measures, which Lord Melbourne is now working out for the people, whose government it is his high destiny to lead ? Far from it. The destruction of the direct power which dropped from the Peers upon the passing of the Re form Act, was the storming and carrying of the citadel. The demolition of the corporate monopolies will be only the clearing away of the outworks which still re main unsurrendered, and in which the enemy are nest ling in dispersed but desperate detachments, able to annoy, but powerless to conquer. The real causes of the augmented virulence of the Tory Lords arc the simplest and the most natural. First, they derive hopes, from experience, of support from influences exerted near and behind the throne ; and secondly, they are encouraged by the strength which the condi. tion of the registries enabled them to gain at the late elections in the present House of Commons. The last is the main stimulating cause of their pre sent lofty demeanour. Unhappily, after the refoi m of the constituencies, the Government and the y o . ple both fancied that such was the pePon &ranee of the reform spi r it throughout *.ile nation, nothing could shake its ascendancy in the House of Commons. The registries were ner:iected by the Re formers. Quietly, cunninly, but Fjurely and effectually, the Conservatives worked uwin this vital point ; and we have little doubt, that if another revising period had intervened before the dismissal of Lord Mel bourne, the Tories would have secured a majority of the House of Co' imons—not by the apathy of the Reformers, but loy the nearly fatal sense of security in which they had folded up their arms, and laid them selves dow n to sleep. The Tory Lords now rely upon the strength which they have thus gained in the Hotme of Commons, and they therefore venture upon coeirses which, against Lord Grey, backed by an over whelming majority in the peopl e ' s H ouse , t h ey did not dare to haz ar d. r The question now in contest be tween the two antagonist parties is in truth a question of fact :—Are, or are not, the majority of the Peo ple's House of Parliament, and the Government to which it has given its full, unreserved, generous, and unwavering confidence, sustained by an overwhelming majority of the people, and—for that is the practical question—by a decided and now invin cible majority of the constituencies of the empire ? If the Peers were assured that the fact is, upon this vital question, against them, Lord Melbourne, compared with Lord Grey, would be in the condition of a man reclining upon a bed of roses. It is because they do not yet believe that th e f ac t i s aga i nst t h em, that they cabal out of doors, and crowd within the walls of the Painted Chamber, and count their numbers upon re peated divisions. We are convinced that the majority of these Noble Conspirators against a Ministry, pos sessing more of the confidence of this great nation than any by which it was ever ruled, are in a state of utter and benighted ignorance respecting the certain results of the registries of the present year. Their Lordships will soon learn that bitter lesson. When they shall do so, our lives for a ducat they will flag in their attendance in the House of their order, even when they shall not have the apology (for absence from town) of the torrid weather which they have recently en dured, in offering an unavailing resistance to the fixed, determined, unequivocally-expressed desires of the nation. All eyes, all thoughts,—the hopes of the free, enlightened, considerate, but resolute people of this great empire,—the fears of their worst ene mies—are now directed to that small band of tried and trusted Statesmen, to whom their destinies are confided in this, the most interesting and trying hour of British history. There are periods in the struggles of war, when all depends upon the sagacity, the coolness, the promptitude, but, above all, the intrepid nerve of the leaders. Though the troops are marshaled, and their spirits are roused, and their hearts beat high with exul tation at the certainty of speedy triumph, under the conduct of the men whom they have chosen to guide them, they will move or pause—they will act or suffer —they will stand the shock or rush to the onslaught, as those leaders bid them, so long as they find that their movements are conducted with courage and inte grity. Let confidence be once destroyed, and the dis appointment gives full sway to the spirit of a wild and indiscriminate vengeance. The enemy to be vanquished are mixed up in common hatred with the leaders who betray. Both are trampled on, without quarter, in the excesses of a victory dearly bought, because the result of a struggle which begins in confusion, and is fought with rage. In this condition are now the people of these islands. Reform, cost what it may, they must and will have, in those institutions which yet need it. Reform they desire to have by safe and con stitutional courses. Reform they can so have only by the following up, intrepidly and unflinchingly, of the firm and bold, yet temperate bearing, which the Mi nisters in both Houses have recently displayed. Y . , 0 man knows the true English character bettu than Lord Melbourne. Nene is better aware hen:, near are the confin es w hi c h separate t h e highest wspect from the lowest co n t em p t o f t h e h uman charae_ter, and how soon the same mind passes from the one sentiment into the other. None knows bettP-r how to inspire and sustain the one ;—never w'as any man holding or deserving a high station m v.e safe from the hazard of creating the other. We 'therefore do not call on him and his colleagues persevere—we know they will. They owe it to 'their fellow -countrymen, who' have lifted them to ar . eminence, and given them a degree and a kind rif power never before enjoyed by a British They owe it to their Royal Master, wilor", it is their first duty to save from the awful perilY, which a small, though powerful, mino rity of . 11; .s subje c t s are spreading for him. They owe it to r„neir own characters and names—to the part they have hitherto borne —to that consistency which, to violate, would be the worst dishonour, fc r it woull be to sneak meanly out of boasting which t'aere was the boldness to make without the courage to perform. We do not, we repeat, urge or counsel, or exhort a Ministry, surrounded by many circumstances to stimulate, Co inspirit, to nerve them in the high en counter in which, after all, they have but to act with passive firmness to secure an easy and no distant vic tory. But we do invoke the BRITISH PEOPLE to rally around rulers who deserve their confidence and need, not their support, for they have it—but the strong and public and repeated demonstrations of that support in this hour of trial for the destinies of Eng land.

Th. - e conversation that took place in the House of Commons on Friday last, and to which Mr. Bulwer's sham motion for the repeal of the Stamp Duty on Newspap ers gave r i se , i s probably the last exhibition of the kind we shall be favoured with this session. For that reason, perhaps, it ought not to be passed over in silence ; but we have not, till now, been able to find an opportunity of bestowing a single word upon it. AP •arne time, the only speech we think it worth Wti 'ls notice seriously is that of the Chan cellor of the hequer. But our opinion is formed wholly upon tF onsideration of the post which that We by 1)0 rah.ns intend to iosuluate .~/`' .- 171.-040 d t,r.> that Mr. S. Rice's oration was good ; we do not say that it was even much better than that of Mr. C. Buller, who, with his usual statesman-like gravely proposed a tax upon siltWon*, or (what strikes us as forciltly acute in a legislator) upon any thing else of that sort, as a substitute for the tax ttpiM newspapers. It seems, however, that paraing him self—with an excess of prudenet and a degree of cau tion that can never be sufficiently admired—by means of "anything; dse," the Hon. and Learned Member for Liskeard took par prefirence, as an article of taxation, sabnorz ; and this he did (bcin liberal and learned), of course, with a full recollection of all the laws relative to preserves, whether by land or water—the. demoralizing effects of poaching—and so forth. Did he happen to think of the cost and folly of a " pre ventive service" in the rivers and lakes or Scotland and Ireland ? The whole discussion would, in truth, be the best illustration that has yet been adduced of the injurious effects of the " Taxes on Knowledge," if one could believe (and this is the stumbling-block) that the gentlemen who spoke have no other impedi ment to the acquisition of knowledge than what they call the tax upon it. We are very much afraid, however, that this is not the case. We are inclined to think that it is with knowledge, which Mr. C. Buller is so sorry to see taxed, as it is with salmon, which he is so desirous to bring within the jurisdiction of the Excise or Customs,—namely, that a man cannot digest all he can afford to buy. There is a certain difficulty in both cases which no legislation can remove. It may be that time must be afforded for th e di scovery of truth in this, as well as in some (ether matters which, though equally clear, are not, vet seen through without assistance ; and while the discovery is in _process, we should not be at all surprised if the butcher-boys were to insist upon their Constitutional right to whistle through town and country their own sweet melodies in chorus, with accompaniments of marrow-bones and cleavers, protesting at the same time, that musicians, whether vocal or instrumental, with a roof over their heads, are no more than vile monopolists, and that the laws against street nuisances are ' 6 a tax upon music. For, in sober seriousness, what is the meaning of the outcry of this small fry of politicians, except that, being bent upon making a noise in the world, and seeing no means of attaining their end, unless their own penny trumpets be heard, they are not content with " aggra vating" their own barbarous blasts, but desire, while they puff their own cheeks to bursting, that the notes of others shall be silenced or made to sound as scan dalously as their own ? The fact is, that the whole thing would be a solemn humbug, which sane folks would laugh or cry over as their constitutions inclined them, only that in this, as in other galoppades, with which another sort of mountebanks take captive the eyes and cars of shallow observers, the country pays the piper. There are at least 50 taxes inconvenient and burden some to the middle and poorer classes which do not amount in the whole to 450,0001., and yet that is what Mr. Hume would call the " Cottle" raised by the tax on newspapers, without the slightest inconvenience to any class of the community. But those inconvenient and burdensome taxes are to remain, in order that , the cheap and nasty garbage of a few demagogues or vain pretenders, may be hawked about in re ceptacles fitted for such uses. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, while he will promise nothing definite— not the reduction even of a fraction of a farthing of this " tax on knowledge—acknowledges the " prin ciple" contended for by these purveyors of " hog wash." Mr. Rice boasted the other night that his skin was as thick as that of the rhinoceros. We sup pose he thought it supererogatory to give an estimate of the consistency of the most fleshless region of his person, and therefore said nothing upon that head. We have said that the speech of Mr. S. Rice is, on account of the gentleman's position, the only speech really deserving of notice. The points of that speech lie in a very small compass. It appears that Mr. S. Rice is convinced that, in the event of the Stamp Duty being reduced or removed, there should be some law investing newspaper proprietors with a copyright for a certain period of time. He said it would be .monstrous if one paper were allowed to steal from an other, within half an hour or an hour after publica tion, news which could not have been obtained by the latter without considerable cost. No doubt it would be very monstrous, and we are exceedingly glad to learn that Mr. S. Rice has been made to under stand this part of the subject, which, however, is a vast deal more important in reference to the public than to any newspaper proprietors. Mr. S. Rice does not see this, probably because of the occasion on which he was indebted to persons connected with the stamped press for pointing out the injury that must result to them from the piratical system he denounces. These gentlemen made their representation in consequene„ of the appearance of an unstamped paper, 'Pub lished in violation of the law, at 2d. or 3d., ae . e 4. con sisting of matter purloined from the stam ped news papers. The object of the representat; in duce Mr. Rice t o en f orce th e l aw a,' Mil was to ,n 4:ist that pirate. He did nothing 9f the kind. Had putting down or the punishment of such an ire .raction of the law de pended upon Mr. S. Rice, thee offence would in all pro bability have continued tiP, the present hour. But the public should understa'od how this question of cop y right bears upon nem. If there be no such law of copyright, and proprietors of papers, who go to a large expense for the collection of news, whether foreign or 'domestic, are to be robbed with impunity, they p' ,1S of course shut up shop. The penny t• petty- 'larceners of the Press being thus thrown upon the: .r own resources, because there are no longer P" .ny pockets to pick, will be obliged to betake themselves to some other calling, or to publish their own lucubrations instead of news. Thus there will be no such things as newspapers in existence, any more than there would be found walking in the streets a man with money in his pockets, when every one was sure that he would he plundered within half an hour after he crossed his threshold. The merchants must, in such a case, go to the enormous expense of daily expresses from foreign parts, or be left utterly at the mercy of a few active stockjobbers, while the public generally would know nothing of important events, either at home or abroad, except by accident, or the correspondence of private friends. Another, the only other, part of the speech of Mr. S. Rice which seems to call for observation, is that in which he expressed his conviction that the price of newspapers has nothing to do with making the Press better or worse ; that, in fact, a penny paper is likely to contain as proper matter as a sevenpenny paper. If this be so, then the frequenters of the Beggar's-Ken in St. Giles's are likely to be as safe, and to meet as honest company, as those who dine at the London Ta vern ; and the audience in penny theatres, or in the booths and shows at faire, may reckon upon finding themselves associated with as decent persons as com pose the audiences of Drury-lane or Covent-garden, of the Haymarket, or the English Opera-house. Of course the nature of the fare is not to be taken into the ac count in either of the two classes of cases ; it is not desirable to encourage wholesome feeding so long as a man can get garbage to fill himself withal ; nor does it matter whether" the murder of Mr.Weare or" Richard III." be represented on the stage. Such is in effect the reasoning of Mr. S. Rice, who, though Chancellor of the Exchequer, cannot see that the embarking of large capital in a lawful calling is always some security at least for respectability, while it affords also some chance that talant as well as character may be demanded. But Mr. S. Rice goes further. He adopts Lord Brougham's opinion of the unstamped press, and be lieves that, " not content with slandering public cha racters, it resorts to personal slander of the basest de scription ; that blasphemy and obscenity prevail through much of it ; that parts of it go so far as to advocate rebellion and assassination." Therefore, says Mr. S. Rice, by inference, though not in words, " the thing is as bad as it can be, and if we take off the stamp to morrow, and legalize the sale, we cannot make the ar ticle any worse." Perhaps not : the quality may re main the same, but what does the Chancellor of the Exchequer think of the quantity p Suppose any one were to say, " the cholera morbus in its worst stage prevails in London and Manchester, and therefore not only let us abstain from taking any means to prevent it spreading throughout the land, but let us do all we can to extend it, for the cholera morbus itself will be s It Was salaries and not salmon that 21Ir.

Iti-A ViitS, when he made this-speech upon the l'te . ioti L W:pei• stamp duty.— Times. rk ire Whigs have given us an. eminent specimen this year of a factious opposition. It appears they arc going to favour us now with a factious Government. Vast are the obligations foi which England is indebted to the Whigs 1 They govern in " the spirit of the age," forsooth ! If so, 'tis a shabby spirit, a very pitiful spirit, indeed ; a most lick spittle, place-loving, pelf-adoring spirit. Lord Viscount Melbourne ever since he assumed of f ice has been the Minister of the King's necessity, not of the King's choice. Now, it appears, he is going to carry on the Government in spite of the House of Lords. A bold fellow this ! If we did not find him crawling in the dust before a Popish rebel, one might suppose that he was ani mated with some degree of headstrong heroism. But the scene behind the curtain proffers such a humiliating and instructive contrast to the swag gering sulkiness with which the audience is greeted, that the charm vanishes in a moment. Never was a Cabinet in such a condition : all fighting among themselves, and contradicting t-, - , ( 1 reproaching each other. The Premier \v id retire, but our 'Lion Carlos, who is for a " collision," op poses this. Then Melbourne urges that he has to bear the brunt of the battle, and face, each night, an overwhelming majority : Carlos replies, 'tis only for a short season ; and that though he, to be sure, has the majority in the Commons on his side, 'tis a very deli cate one, and then, his labour should be taken into consideration ; some seven months' hard work, and O'Connell to aid ; " while you," he quaintly observes, " after all, are only badgered for three weeks." " But the King," replies the Premier, " may be," &c., says Carlos. All this time Lansdowne looks grave, and already meditates joining an anti-Papal Cabinet. The needy members of the clique of course are in convul sions, and the moment the division was announced Lord Auckland flew to his wine merchant, and bar gained that in case of his appointment being canc e ll e d the Burgundy was to be taken back, and his Lordship only to pay for the laths and sawdust. 'Tis a right merry crew !—Morning Post. Lord Melbourne's situation at the present moment is, perhaps, the least enviable of that of any Mi- ' nister who has held office since the accession of the House of Hanover ; and if his Lordship's Admini stration does not furnish some of the blackest pages in history the country will owe no thanks to him, but rather to its own native good sense and firmness, which, we doubt not, will come to the rescue through the peril, however great. Stronger minds than Mel bourne's, once embarked in error, have seldom the courage or the candour to retract ; b u t i n L or d Mel bourne's case we have consistency held up as the jus tification of the most notorious inconsistency that any public man can encounter ; for the very Irish Church Bill, which Lord Melbourne now threatens to aban don, is the very Bill (made so at least by the Lords' amendments) which a twelvemonth ago Lord Melbourne and his colleagues prescribed as their panacea for the grievance which it was then and now intended to meet. And why is it not so now ? Must we answer, that it is because Lord Melbourne has since had the ineffa ble weakness to throw himself into the arms of the Papists of Ireland and the Radicals of England, form ing together a revolutionary faction, of which poor Lord Melbourne and his sorry coadjutors are the un conscious tools. We feel the country, we feel our selves degraded, while we make this admission ; but the time is come when the reluctant truth must be pressed upon the public mind. We say the reluctant truth, because there can be no doubt that every one who has given his mind attentively to the progress of events must be slow to believe that a British Minister, a Minister, too, professing Whig principles, can know ingly lend himself to, or accept the support of persons to whose principles and whose motives every Bri; js h feeling, and every hitherto known Whig princij;l e are avowedly opposed. If we wanted any fort!ile., proof of the audacity of the faction we allude 'to, we have it in the assumption which t heyu rl :Aushingly make, that they represent the feelings a ple of England. Real :id the wishes of the peo- ~' y this cuckoo note of wory noisy demagogue, cP.i v iing himself and his few s%niseless listeners " the people,''would be highly lui!iicrous, if it were not •,- majority s 4- 111 "nor'.; false and mischievous. That the of the 'people of almost every class are Re formers we - readily admit ; but it is equally true that 'they arP Reformers of a very different description to who thus pretend to be the organ of their send- DY.mts. They are, in short, Conservative Reformers —who wish to see every defect in existing insti tutions ameliorated, but the institutions them selves preserved from destruction. They know that it is under the influence of these institutions that their country, from a small speck in the ocean, has risen to be the arbitress of the world; that under these institutions they and their ancestors have enjoyed a greater share of freedom and prosperity than any other nation upon earth ; and it is therefore these institu tions which the bulk of the people of England are anxious to transmit, improved, but not impaired, to their posterity. To the Popish and Radical faction which now unfortunately govern the King's Minis ters, the people of England indignantly reply, in the eloquent words of Sheridan,—" We want no change, and least of all such change as you would give us." Surely, then, Lord Melbourne cannot continue to be blinded by the delusion under which he at present la bours. If the arguments of opponents are of no avail, the coolness and desertion of friends must speak home to most infatuated minds. Where, for instance, is his mentor in the hour of need ? Where Earl Grey, who placed him in the post he occupies ? Surely Earl Grey's absence, Earl Grey's silence, must speak volumes to any one whose mind is not obdurate against both foresight and reflection. And what is Lord Melbourne's consolation under all this, but that he is compelled to hand over the advocacy of his measures to almost the sole guidance of one whose zeal and whose labour he dares not reward ?—Morn ing Herald. Yesterday the Tory party was again at its dirty trade in every hole and corner to which it had access in propagating two reports—the first that his Ma jesty's Ministers were inclined to swallow the affront put upon them, and upon the House of Commons, in the matter of the Municipal Corporation Bill, by ac cepting it as butchered and mutilated by the Lords —and the second, that the King was only waiting for the prorogation of Parliament to reinstate Sir R. Peel, or the Duke of Newcastle, in the Premier's office. The first is utterly false and unfounded. The Ministry will prove true to the people; and the peo ple, if they man to be true to themselves, will lend them their best and most constitutional support. Monday next is the great day—and on that day we trust to have the satisfaction to hear of their as sembling in thousands and tens of thousands to sup port their representatives in the House of Commons, in the most peaceable, constitutional, and firm manner, and thereby to tell the House of Lords that the Muni cipal Corporation Bill is not inferior in interest to the Reform Act itself, and that their next meetings will not be prayers for passing that Bill as agreed upon in the Commons—but prayers for the reform of the House of Lords. 'With regard to th e secon d—the King has the power—he may have the inclination— but for the sake of 'the Constitution—for the sake of the peace of the country—we are almost inclined to believe that there is no one, however opposed to the present Administration, who would advise the adoption of such a step. What would be the consequence ? We refrain to answer. It might be dangerous, and it will readily suggest itself.—. Morning Advertiser. One of the fundamental principles of the British Constitution is, that: our laws be made by the freely chosen representatives of the people ; and it would be well if the sticklers for this Constitution would reflect with themselves how far this principle can be carried into effect, while hereditary legislation is al lowed to lord it over the suggestions of sound po licy, the decisions of common justice, the rights of popular intelligence, and the wants and will of the whole people of the United Kingdom. It is a bitter scoff' to ask if the theory of the Constitution be pre served in action while the folly, prejudice, passion, mssioany, bigotry, and injustice o f an hereditary s not- defeat the best measures whic h the popular I Delegates can devise, but evenw i i ! h impunity add insult to the wrong, by scandal /77 r - caattin,issit-tters of the C9 l ';;;;rons, and pouring forth *ll of abuse and indignity on the Aills *With they sane- Lion, and even on the Representatives them selves. Another principle of Our lOLA Con stitution is that our Kings act iti tbittointity With law and reason. It would be art ungracious office to scrutihise how far this has been recently respected, more especially as we have strong grounds for the be lief that an eminent individual has seen his ettot, and. is not disposed again to be drawn by Court intrigue into a dilemma wherein the safety of the monarchy would be hazarded to support faction in hostility to the national will. But there is yet another principle in our Constitution, and at this crisis the most vital to Representative Government, and that is, that :the people shall not be taxed, nor their money dispesed of, but by the consent of their Representatives ; and on the determined exercise of this principle now depends the safety of the State. The time ibr tn euss i on i s past, we- are on the eve 7; a a; on ; and this con stitutes our sole chw.tte of escaping a violent con vulsion. t t tils account we ca ll on the Ministers and ''7le tine Representatives of the people to exercise the ptivilege vested in them for the preservation of the public tranquillity and the consummation of popular rights. Should they neglect or betray the duty which the urgency of the times impose on them, it is fearful to contemplate the conseventes of leaving a people, justly exasperated at the inveterate opposition which a few individuals, totally unconnected ma the indnstrid and commercial interests of the counter—the mere drones of the hive—for the most part little more than " old women in pantaloons " have offered to the enactments of laws which the political, social, and truly religious necessities of the .country imperatively require—we say it is featftil to contemplate the consequences of leatihg a people so circumstanced to achieve lh the best way they may that justice which hereditary fatuity denies them. We look to the chance of a violent revolution with horror, though we are convinced that the people of England s accustomed to choose men to represent their *iabes, would much sooner recover even. kin the wildest anarchy than from the despotism, the plunder, and op pression which the conspiracy of aristocracy and priest craft would perpetuate. Come what will, the result will, must, be the triumph of justice and the peopk. It is of the means only that we are solicitous, the end is certain. We prefer to accomplish peaceably, if possible, that which we are resolved to accomplish at the hazard of peace, property and life.—Morn. Advertiser. ROUSE OF LORDS. (Before Lord Brougham and other Peers.) ALLAN V. TRUSTEES OP GLASGOW. Dr. LUSHINGTON this morning concluded the argument on behalf of the respondent, after which Sir CHARLES WE. THERELL was heard in reply.—Judgment postponed: ALEXANDER WATSON (PAUPER) V. ANN WATSON AND OTHERS. In this case Sir WM. Follett and Mr. M'Neill appeared for the appellant, who pleaded in forma pauperis, and Dr. Lushington and Mr. Pyper for the respondent. Sir Wm. FOLLEIT stated the nature of the case, which was an appeal from the Court of Session against an interlo cutor of the Lord Ordinary in an action of reduction, com menced at the instance of the present respondents against the appellant for the purpose of setting aside a service expede before the Magistrates of Renfrew, upon Nov. 17, 1827, and by which he was returned nearest lawful heir in general of Alexander Watson, town clerk of Port Glasgow. The title on which the respondents founded their right to pursue this action was a general service, said to have been expede before the sheriffs of Perthshire upon the 29th of April, 1829, and by which they were returned as the nearest lawful heirs-portioners in general to the same person to whom the appellant had been previously served. Lord BROUGHAM made some inquiries into the cls;, r a c t er of the evidence on which the respondents rested their case, portimis of which were read by Dr. 1 4 1 ::;;ington (to whom hia Lordship turned for infotmatiovf), and, in conclusion, de clared that it appear e d to ;,nn to be the most ad v i sa bl e course to allow the part es (one of whom was a pauper) to endeavour to effect an arrangement between themselves, for which purpose;ne would postpone the further hearing of the case till t:::n o'clock to-morrow.

They were limited to mainsail and foresail only, and not to exceed twenty feet in length. The following were the contending iinat3l-.. Roarer (pet: 0-411 r: firntes e*tter, belonging to Horselydown. Heroine (bliie)Mrt lltintirds owner, belonging to Lambeth. TWO Third (black)—Mr. G. Stone owner, belonging to Milbank. .toe (red)—Mr. Lennard owner, belonging to Arundel Stairs. The Sisters (white)—Mr. Bishop, belonging to Lambeth. They sailed the usual above- bridge distance. The third was first out, but the Roarer soon afterwards passed her to wind ward, and maintained the advantage up and down. The He roine eerie in second ; The Third was third; the Sisters was fourth and, as for Joe, why poor Joe, was swamped going up. h is asserted that the first boat exceeds the stipulated length by an inch and a half. KIPPING AND COOMI3t/4......Thete men contend this day in a sculler's boat for 201. The match has sprung out of Lyon's sovereigns, for which both contended, and Coombes came in a few yards before Kipping ; but Coombes certainly had the best station. Large sums are depending on the issue. Betting is brisk at 5t04 on Coombes. It will be a beautiful match. TRADE, FINANCE, AND STATIS- TICS OF BRAZIL. The annexed extracts from a mercantile circular just re ceived from Rio seem to us to be worthy of attention, much beyond the sphere to which such documents are usually confined : " With regard to the future production of this vast em pire, fears, in our opinion groundless, as we shall prest:%, show, are entertained that the abolition of * le slave trade and the active measures taken to prevent contraband im portations will lead to a diminished, production ; for that without fresh supplies the nt?:;:oer of slaves will progressively decrease, inasmuch as the number of births, in spite of in creased care a n d improved treatment, both morally and phy sicall:;„ i s not in proportion to that of the deaths. According to Calmon (in a work recently published at Bahia) the de crease is 5 per cent, per annum, and that consequently the slave population will be reduced to one-half in ten or twelve years. This alarm, as already said, we do not participate in ; that population may be taken at 2,000,000, and the average annual importation from 1820 tQ 1827 (the eight years preceding the extraordinary importation caused by the approach of the abolition of the legal trade) at 40,000, or 2 per cent. on the stock, which will surely be more than compensated by improved treat ment, even without the aid of clandestine importations, but which there is too much reason to believe will continue. We find, however, a much stronger argument against di minished production, in the conviction that much free la bour will be imported (some emigrants arrived a short time ago from the Western Isles, who were immediately engaged upon such terms as must encourage further emigration), cheaper and more easy means of transport be soon esta blished by new roads and canals, an improved mode of agri culture and preparation of produce according to scientific principles hitherto disregarded, and a great increase in the application of mechanical power. At present, of about 850 sugar estates in the province of Rio de Janeiro, only 16 are worked by steam, and 10 by water power ; of 603 in that of Bahia, not more than 100 to 120 are worked by steam or water power ; and of 453 in that of Pernambuco, not one is worked by steam, and about 60 by water power. This we instance to show what a vast field there is for displacing negro labour by mechanical power ; and it must, moreover, be borne in mind, that the waste of life and strength is chiefly on the sugar estates, and that negroes so employed, if put to lighter work, as the cultivation of coffee, cotton, cocoa. tobacco, rice, tea, &c., would thrive and increase in a much greater ratio than is now the case. We are quite aware of the obstacles presented to rapid improvement by the easy and inactive disposition of the m a jority of Brazilians, and their consequent unwillingness to adopt new methods, however superior to the old and erroneous systems they have hitherto pursued ; this is, however, already in part counteracted, and will be progressively so in a greater de gree, by the example and activity of foreigners, who, prompted by self-interest, introduce into this vast and rich country the improved means which the progress of science and skill in Europe furnish, and there is also strong reason to believe that several public companies, encouraged by the concession of liberal and , extensive exclusive privileges, are on the eve of being formed for these desirable purposes. " In reference to our last year's statement of the popula tion of the empire, we are now able to give it more-cor rectly, from the returns recently received by the Govern ment, showing 3,130,000 free people, and 2,086,666 slaves ; the population is evidently increasing in a greater ratio than was formerly the' case, though in a few poorer and less cul tivated provinces, as Espirito Santo and others, we find it to be stationary or even decreasing. The number of slaves is possibly underrated, from an apprehension of their owners .when making returns of a poll -tax. " As the important consideration of how the course of exchange is likely to rule in future involves in a great de gree that of the state of the circulating medium, the re lative amount of the value of exports and imports, the finances, and even the politics of the country, we presume it will not prove altogether uninteresting to our friends if we briefly notice these several subjects. " The circulating medium was left by OA Legislative As sembly last session in its previous deplorable state, but the necessity of a remedy has become so urgent, and is so loudly called for (some of the provinces having actually begun to lagislate for themselves in this • important matter,) that it may be hoped the present session will not be allowed to close without the enactment of some efficient law, as a pre liminary to which the Minister , appointed a committee of merchants and others to consider the subject, and their re ports have been given in, a primary feature of which is to re commend that the copper coin do forthwith circulate at no more than its intrinSit or half its present nominal value, and as the law of October, 1833, called it in, no injustice will he practised en the h o ld ers , an d a death-blow be givon to fur ther importations or home manufacture of counterfeit chin, which that law, not being accompanied by such proViiiit'M of isubseqUent reduced value, greatly encouraged, as was easily foreseen and foretold. The whole amou r of copper coin, spurious and genuine, in F ludi n: • ;no see/e/a4 or Go vernment obligations, given in exchange for what was brought in by virtt: , or the law of October, IEM Net mated throe; ;lout the empire at o n ly 8,000, 00 0 d ollars), is ot.itv generally believed not to exceed 10,000 ; 000 dollars and of the notes of the extinct Bank, at present national 011. z gations, 18,237,141 dollars—together, at 40d., 4,706,1894 sterling —a sum which a State with such immense re.- sources, could easily raise in loan, to enable it to have an honest and safe currency. A sudden return to cash pay ments would, however, be pregnant with infinite mischief and it ought to be gradual, beginning probably with 10 or' 15 per cent., and increasing progressively over a period of five years or more." ----- THE PARIS OMNIBUSES.—A new line of omni buses has just been established in Paris, under the name of Algeriennes. For five sous they traverse a distance of upwards of three leagues from N eu ill y , t h roug h P ar i s, to the very middle of Bercy. But in granting this privilege, the police have imposed a singular condition on the speculators in these new carriages, that of not stopping by the way to take up passengers. Those who wish to travel by them are obliged to mount while the carriage is in motion, at the risk of break ing some of their limbs. This is done in order not tc. appear to interfere with the privileges granted to the omnibuses of the capital. ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--LIFERPOOL, Auo. 25. THE ATTORNEY-C NERAL V. SIR H. MAINWARING AND ANOTHER. In this action Sir JOHN CAMPBELL appeared to support the claim of the Crown to a tract of land, about 270 acres in extent, lying adjacent to the banks of the Dee, near Chester. Many years ago the Dee formed a very bold and much navigated estuary, and the city of Chester was by conse quence a large seaport. For a lengthened period of time, however, the bed of the stream has continued to contract itself, until now it is only partially navigable ; owing to this retiring after-water an alluvial deposit has been formed, and the tract of land under dispute has emerged from the estuary of the Dee. Within the memory of man this land has been a marsh, and was so used by the people of the surrounding country, who t urne d th e catt l e i nto i t to pasture, and who cut turf, and matte brick from the soil. This appears to have been (at least partially) the case up to the year 1829, when the agent of tire Crown (acting under the direction of the Commissioners of the Woods and Forests, of whom Lord Lowther was then chief) put in a claim to the land, had it enclosed and ditched round, and let it out subse quently to tenants, who paid rent for it, and used it as a ley for cattle, in which service it realised about 5001. be tween 1819 and 1831, a great number of cattle being sent to pasture. The ground, however, was also claimed by Sir Harry Mainwaring, an individual of property and cha racter, owning domains in the adjoining districts of Malston and Leach ; and the plea was founded upon his alleged title as Lord of the Manor in that parish of the lands thus ac cruing from the river, The Jury found for the Crown, but it is probable that the defendants will hereafter move a new trial. The case was adjudicated by a Special Jury. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A Jew clotbesman was summoned before Alderman WILSON for having detained a number of soldiers coats, which he had been engaged by another Jew clothesman to put in repair for the outfit of some of the volunteers of the Queen of Spain. The ALDERMAN postponed the case until the return of the Lord Mayor to town. , Fieschi is quite convalescent. lie takes a walk every day in the court which is reserved for him. The greatest care is taken of his health. All that he asks for, or seems to desire, is immediately granted him. Does not this remind the reader of the New Zealanders preparing a captive, or of a grazier fattening an ox, for slaughter? MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN TILE REGENT'S PARK.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Queen's Head and Artichoke, Albany-street, Regent's Park, before Mr. Stirling and a respectable Jury, on view of the body of Edward Henry Reddell, Esq., aged twenty-six. Mr. O. B. Bell, of Park-square, Regent's Park, about twenty minutes before eight o'clock, on Monday evening last, saw the deceased galloping through Park-square towards the New road. His horse was going at a furious rate, and the rider ap peared to have lost all command of the reins. On reaching the iron gate near Park-crescent the deceased was thrown off, his head and shoulders coming in contact with the iron rails. Witness ran to his assistance. The unfortunate gentleman was insensible, and bleeding profusely from the head. He was removed to Mr. Worrell's, a surgeon, in Osnaburgh-street. Mr. Worrell, surgeon, of Osnaburgh-street, Regent's Park, stated that the deceased died two hours after he was brought to his house, from the injuries be had received. The collar bo: :, was broken, the whole o f th e sca l p b ru i se d , and. there -.gas an extensive concussion on the right side. The ipTlediate cause of death was concussion of the brain. The Jury delivered a verdict of " Accidental Death." The l l .eceased woof highly respectable connections. EXECUTION.--In reference to the recent execution at Horsham, Sussex, of Sheppard and Sparrshott, the Brighton Guardian says—" It is our painful duty to announce the me lancholy fact that two human being s have ag a i n b een o ff ered up in this county to appeas e the bloo-thirsty spirit of our still sanguinary criminal code. Great efforts were made to save the life of Sheppard, whose offence was merely against property ; and we understand that Lord John Russell, as Secretary of State for the Home Department, was disposed to a merciful view of the case. Judge Park is however said in the profes sion to be a " banging Judge ;" and the stern severity (we could find a more appropriate term) of this man triumphed ever the respect for human life entertained by the Noble Se cretary. The superstitious act of rubbing of the hand was performed upon two females with swelled necks who applied, and paid the customary' fee of 2s. 6d. to the "official" for performing it. Is society benefitted by this display of a bar barous age ? We fear not ; but on the contrary, the respect for human life in the ignorant multitude is weakened by such revolting exhibitions, and a feeling of sympathy is excited in favour of men whose crimes would otherwise create disgust and horror. As it is, the vices of their lives are forgotten in the grief and dismay caused by the execution of a san. guinary lee," j . _.~ o ; NTziriy RETURN 'O . F.
