This Association has been formed principally with the view of af fording to gentlemen engaged in GOVERNMENT and PUBLIC orncEs, BANKING lIOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTA BLISIIMRNTS, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion of their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound Interest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences. The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries. The leading principles of this Society am— t. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether borrowers or not. 2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member Wishing to anticipate his Shares will he entitled at any given period of the iii.ociety's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value of the Sharet of continuing Members. Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip tions for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 41. Per Cent. per annum, will he allowed for the sums so paid. Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after the first year, without tine ; and subsequently to that period com pound interest at the rate of 6/. per Cent. per annum will be allowed upon the sums withdrawn. Shares may be transferred free of stamp duties.. by the plats adopted in this Society new Members entering at any period, and all Members taking sip additional Shares, may have loans advanced to them without paying, up arrears of Subscriptions ; and the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new Members, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup plied to every Member. This is manifestly fur preferable to the un equal ai,d objectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares UP to auction, and advancing the money to those who submit to the largest discount ; by which means the object of the Legislature, which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the same advantage, is entirely frustrated. The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved from the heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car ried into full operation. Na Member has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own Inthscriptions. A Public Meeting for affording further explanations of the objects of the Society and its system of. operations, will be held at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on WEDNESDAY EVENING, 26th January instant, at Half-past Six for Seven o'clock precisely.

The Worshipful Company of Fishmongers gave a grand banquet yesterday evening, on the occasion of presenting the freedom of the guild to Mr. Brooke, ;he Raja of Sarawak, but in consequence of illness the distinguished guest was unable to be present. The banquet took place in Fishmongers' Hall, and was of an unusually splendid and recherche character. About one hundred gentlemen sat down to table. G. T.Ni cholson, Esq., the second warden, presided, and was supported on the right by S. G. Bonham, Esq., the Governor of _Hong Kong, Captain Bethune, R.N., G. R. Porter, E,q., J. M'Gregor, M.P., Sir John Campbell, Mr. Wise, &c.; on the left by Mr. Napier, Lieutenant-Governor of 1.. a matt, Capt. Mundy, R.N., Mr. Gregson, M.P., Rev. Mr. Broreton, Mr, Gar rard, Mr. Gladston, Mr. Wallace, &c. The usual loyal toasts having been given, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Army and Navy." Sir J. CAMPBELL returned thanks on behalf of the army, and took occasion, in his capacity, both as a British officer and as one connected with the Oriental Steam-packet Company, to express his high sense of the important services rendered to this country by Mr. Brooke, and of the singular loyalty, devotion, and disinterestedness which he had displayed in all his proceedings. Captain BETHUN E acknowledged the toast on behalf of the navy, and said that he had the advantage of having beets associated with Mr. Brooke on many , occasions of great difficulty and danger, and he always found the same prudence in forming his views, and the same firmness in carrying them into execution. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, quoted an extract from one of Mr. Brooke's letters, in which he said, " I hear that the Whigs are coming into power, and, therefore, we may hope ;" and alluded to the aid so promptly given by the present Govern ment in carrying out the views of that gentleman. He begged to propose "Her Majesty's Ministers ;" and he would couple with the toast " The health of Mr. G. R. Porter."—(Cheers.) Mr. PORTER responded to the toast, and said, that disclaiming as he did all party spirit, and almost all party pre lilectiens, still he could say that her Ma ' jesty s Ministers had ever been most anxious indeed to promote the trade of this country in every possible manner; and Le knew that there was nothing which could encourage that trade which did not receive from them the most anxious attention. The CHAIRMAN proposed in suitable terms the health of Mr. Brooke, and coupled with the toast the name of Mr. Napier, a gentleman who was so inti mately connected with the events that had taken place in Labuan, where he was now appointed deputy governor. Mr. NAPIER returned thanks, and expressed the deep regret which Mr. Brooke felt in being unable to attend on that interesting occasion. He expressed his conviction that in a few years the eastern seas would, through the efforts of Mr. Brooke, be as free from piracy as the seas surrounding the British islands, and alluded to the important fact of all the British settlements in that part of the world, including Penang, Singapore, and Labuan, having been esta blished by peaceful means alone. He had only to add, in regard to Mr. Brooke, that if the gentlemen present had an opportunity of knowing him per sonally, he would be admired, respected, and beloved by all. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Mr. Bonham, the Governor of Hong Kong. _ _ Mr. l_o:NuArd returned thanks, and expressed a hope that by the adoption of a peaceable course on his part, and on the part of those who would act with him, he would be able to promote the prosperity of the colony to which he had been appointed. The CHAIRMAN next gave the health of Mr. Drink water Bethune, member of council. Mr. BETHuNtI returned thanks. The next toast was " Mr. Garrard, prime warden of the Goldsmiths' Company." Mr. GARRARD returned thanks. Mr. PORTER proposed " The Health of the Chair man." _ _ The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and gave "Mr. M‘Gregor and the Members of the House. of Com mons.' Mr. M`GftEcon returned thanks, and dwelt at some length on the important services rendered by indivi duals, unaided by Governments, in extending com merce and civilization over the world. Mr. GREGSON also responded to the toast. The CHAIRMAN next proposed 6 ' The Health of Mr. Wise," a gentleman who had most ably seconded Mr. Brooke in all his undertakings. Mr. Wisa returned thanks. Ile alluded to the assistance afforded by her Majesty's present Govern ment to the settlement at Labuan. For four years and a half he had beeu urged on by his honourable friend, Mr. McGregor, under the most discouraging circumstances, to persevere in his representations to the late Government; but the dogged obstinacy of one Minister, the apathy of another, or the cautious timidity ofa third, rendered all his efforts unavail ing, until at length fortunately the Whigs came in, or else he believed both Mr. Brooke and himself would have been wearing wigs before anything would have been done.—(Laughter). since then, however, every suggestion had been attended to and every want supplied, by Earl Grey and the admirable Under-Secretary, .Mr. Ilawes, and nothing could be more flattering than the mode in which the new colony had been launched before the world The CHAIRMAN next gave "The Health of the Rev. - Mr. Brereton. and the success of the Borneo mission." Mr. BRERETON returned thaLks, and said he would beg leave to read to the company an extract from a letter from Mr. Brooke to Mr. Roussell, his repre sentative at Sarawak, in order to show the manner in which the missionaries who heti gone out there were likely to be received, and the manner in which the mission would be conducted. It was as follows : "I have likewise to apprise you that 1001. sterling will be placed to your credit by the Sarawak mission, which is for the purpose of providing materials for a dwelling for the three clergymen, their • wives, and families, You had better provide balian posts, planks, beams, joists, &c., &c., for a house similar to the new Coast diouse, and subsequently, if further accommoda tion be wanting, it can be joined on. You can get ready everythirg for a cooking-room, and corn furtable servants' accommodation. When the mis sion first arrives, the upper part of the Coast-house can be given to them for a residence. I need scarcely recommend these gentlemen to the kindness and consideration of our small community, for I am sure you will all be most ready to do them s it i ( i ) e f the nativesl European with t u every good office with cheerfulness. The harmony andy s favourable 11iiittii idity€l.nas o u st of our to in moral superiority. In speaking of the mission to the natives, the Malays do not make its advent a formal ciphra(r, or new matter ; dwell on the superior safety of the country from their presence—the advantages to be derived to the sick and the wounded, to the poor and the oppressed ; speak of their goodness and their charity, their skill in medicine, their chemical know ledge, their willingness to live under and obey the laws of the country, their desire t o support myself and and the Datus, &c., &c. Do not mak e a set speech all this, but let it drop out in conversation from time to time, as a subject which does not attract a com man(l. attent i on , but which is interesting. Should log any of you perceive the least disposition to alarm amongst the natives on account of their religion, laugh it 011; and tell them we shall not meddle with their religion unless they ask us to do so. Be very soft with the Iladgis : soothe them, for they must become our instruments. All the Datus, Nacodas, Iladgis, &c., and all the Europeans, will go to school if they like, each to learn the language of the other. Will you let all at Sarawak hear my wishes on this subject. lam sure they will be glad to act as I advise, and I will only repeat, be kind to those gen tlemen—render them every assistance, and let there be nothing frigid or scho d. like on their coming. We must pave the way for them to gain the affection of the natives, and trust to their discretion and judg ment so to temper their zeal as to prevent even the faintest chance of uncharitable feelings arising be tween the Christian and Mahommedan communities. No hatred is like the hatred theological, and if the odium theologicum be once roused, farewell our hopes , of improvement, and farewell to the peace we have heretofore enjoyed. Ido not, however, fear ; and the cause is so good and so sacred, that we must riskeven our peace to forward it." The company then separated. ,1 1 ' , N G 17 3 :257.] LON DON, FRI DAY 3 E R OYAL HOTEL, GRAINGER-STREET, NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE.

TWENTY-FIRST REPORT 'OF THE I.ONDON JOINT STOCK BANK. At a GEN ERAL MEETING of the SHAREHOLDERS, held at the Bankirg-house of the Company, in Princes-street, Man sion House, on THURSDAY, January 13, MS. GEORGE HOLGATE FOSTER, Esq., Chairman.

SOLICITORS—Messrs. Tilson, Squanee, Clarke, and Morice. The following report was presented : It will be seen from the accompanying statement of the affairs of the Bank, that during the six mouths ending the 31st ultimo, a let profit of 23,8471. 14s. 9d. has been realised, which, with the undi ♦ided profits, amounting to 16,663/. Is. lid., brought forward from the preceding half-year, makes a total of 40,6101. 16s. 3d., and en ables the Directors to declare the usual Dividend, after the rate of 6 1. per Centum per Anuum, and also a Bonus of 7s. 6d. per Share, both free from Income-tax, leaving a small Detente of 101. I6s. 7d., which has been carried to the credit of the Guarantee Fund, together 'trite interest thereon, in conformity with the provisions of the Deed of Settlement, whereby that fund is augmented to 123,7091. Is. 7d. The Shareholders cannel but be aware that the period embraced by these accounts wag one of extraordinary difficulty and derange ment in the commercial and monetary affairs of the country, and the numerous failures which have occurred in almost every branch of trade, will have prepared them for the unusual amount of the item in the statement of profit and loss, which comprises the losses by bad debts; indeed, the Directors fool coutident that, ♦iewed with refer ence to the severity of the late crisis, their participation in the disas ters of the past six months will be regarded as less them oould have been anticipated, and the result of their operations as a subject of congratulation. The Directors have, however, to inform the Shareholders, that the above -mentioned item also incledes a less of 6,0001., which they re gret to say the Bank has sustained by the defalcation of one of their clerks, on the estiblishinent of the Western Branch. BY the Established rotation, the Directors whe now retire ere Sir George Carroll, Ald., William' James Lancaster, EsO•, pher Lochner, Esq., John Christo- Sir John 1 11`Taggart, Bart, M.P., and George Scholefleld, Esq., who offer ' themselves for re-election ; and William Bleuttt, Esq., a duly qualified Shareholder, has also give* notice that he is a Candidate for a seat in the Direction. The Dividend and Bonus nal be payable on and after the 21st Instant. The preceding report having been read to the meeting by the Secretary, a dividend for the half-year, ending the 31st December last, after the rate of fit, per centurn per annum, and a further divi sion of 7s. f4l.'per Share out of the net profit of the year ending as above, were declared by the Chairman. Resolved unanimously, " That the report now read be received, and that it be printed for the use of the Shareholders." William Blount, Esq., withdrew as a Candidate on the present oc cagion, and the following Directors were unanimously re-elected, viz• :—Sir' George Carroll, Aid., William J ames Lancaster, Esq., dolm Christopher Lochner, Esq., Sir John 3PTaggart, Bart., M.P., . _ and George S ' cholefleld, Esq. Resolved unanimously, "That the best thanks of this meeting are dim, and are hereby Elven to the Chairman and Directors for the able and successful manner in which they have conducted the affairs of the Bank."

TAXES ' ON NEWSPAPERS. — The tax on paper is three halfpence Per pound, with an addition of five per cent. ; practically; it is one penny three farthings in sevenpeuce—the price of a pound of paper, or about twenty-one per cent. on the value of the article. On newspapers there is a further duty, in the shape of a penny stamp on each sheet. The duty and the stamp on one thousand copies of -the Sheffield Times amount to at least a 103:, or about thirty per cent. The advertise ment duty on one line is forty per cent. These duties are retained, too; by a Government which professes it self anxious for the ( diffusion•of information and intelli gence it a cheap rate; and is, moreover, desirous of being considered as at all times favourable to the exten sion of trade, of Which the .newspaper is the fly wheel.

Ty n • rk , • , • •" JANUARY 14 1848, THE ARCHBISHOP OF YORK. YORK MINSTER, JAN. 13.—The enthronization of the Most Reverend Doctor Musgrave, Lord Arch bishop of this province —an event which has been looked forward to with immense interest—took place in the cathedral at York, this day, in the presence of many thousand spectators. So great was the anxiety evinced by all classes to witness this imposing ceremony, that it was found necessary to make special arrangements for the occa sion, so as to render the ingress of the vast concourse as free from disorder as possible. With this view, the plan of admission by ticket, to a great extent, was adopted, and as may be easily imagined the applica tions were extremely numerous and earnest, far more indeed than could be accommodated. At a very early hour crowds of persons were seen wending their way to the cathedral, and those who had succeeded in obtaining orders were admitted by the entrance at the Registrar's• office, whilst those who were not thus provided gained admission at the south-west entrance, but were of course unable to enter the choir, at least not at that time. At nine o'clock a splendid peal from the bells of the cathedral gave notice of the approaching ceremony, and from that hour until the time fixed for the assem bling of the chapter, vast multitudes of people thronged into the sacred edifice. We calculate that there could not be less than 5,000 persons, and, con sidering their number and anxiety to witness the pro ceedings, the arrangements which had been made by Mr. Chalk, superintendent of police, under the direc tion of Mr. C. A. Thiselton, the registrar, and his Grace's secretary, were very complete. Ten o'clock was the hour appointed for the meet ing of the chapter, but it was half-past ten before they entered the Chapter-house, where a great number of the clergy of the diocese were already assembled. The chapter walked in procession, and were preceded by the President', the Rev. Canon Dixon, the vergers going before and the choristers following. The President took the chair, having at his right the registrar, while the chapter took their seats upon oak benches, ranged in a slanting position to the right and left. The chapter were enclosed with a tempo rary barrier covered with crimson cloth, outside of which stood the clergy. The proceedings here were commenced by the Pre sident calling upon the registrar to exhibit and read the letters mandatory directed to the chapter for the enthronization of the Most Rev. Archbishop. This having been done, The PRESIDENT said—Reverend brethren, these letters mandatory being now read, is it your pleasure that we should proceed according to the force, form, and effect thereof ? If so you will signify the same by holding up your hands. The chapter signified their assent in the way pre scribed, and the ceremony thereupon proceeded ac cordingly, the President reading as follows: " IVe, William Henry Dixon, clerk, Master of Arts, Canon Residentiary of the Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of Saint Peter of York, and (in the absence of the Right Worshipful William Cock burn,lDoctor of Divinity,.Dean of the said Cathedral,) President of this Chapter, by and with the consent of our brethren and canons now present, do receive with all due regard and respect the letters mandatory which have now been read by our registrar, and we decree to proceed in this business of enthronization according to the force, form, and effect thereof." The chapter, clergy, &c., then formed into proces sion, and proceeded to the west doors of the cathedral, there to meet his Grace the Archbishop, who was in waiting at the residence. The procession reached the west doors at five mi nutes to eleven o'clock, where they remained until a quarter past eleven, at which time his Grace, accom panied by one of his chaplains, arrived in his carriage. Having alighted, his Grace, attired in his full archie piscopal robes, and followed by his train bearer, entered the cathedral, and was received by the presi dent, to whom, also to the chapter and clergy gene rally, his Grace made his obeisance. The procession then formed in reverse order, and moved on back to the Chapter-house, a magnificent voluntary being performed on the organ by Dr. Ca midge, who displayed the powers of that noble instrument with great effect. Having reached the Chapter-house, the president again took the chair, and his Grace was conducted to a seat at the head of the chapter on the president's right hand. The clergy, &c., took their places as before, and then his Grace, in a clear and audible voice, read the following petition Thomas, by Divine PrOvidence, Lord Arch bishop of York, elected, confirmed; and translated, petition to be inducted, installed, and enthroned, with the full archiepiscopal rights in the said church, and the real, actual, and corporal possession of the arch bishopric of York, with all and singular the rights, dignities, honours, privileges, and appurtenances what soever, in conformity and according to the manner, statutes, ordinances, and laudable and approved cus toms of this cathedral and metropolitical church of St. Peter of York, and actually and with effect to assign and appoint to me the throne or archiepiscopal seat in the choir of the said church anciently accus tomed and used to be assigned to the archbishop there for the time being, and to do and dispatch all other things which may be necessary or in any way convenient in this business of induction and enthro nization." The PRESIDENT then decreed for the enthronization as follows : a we, William Henry Dixon, clerk, Master of Arts, President of this Chapter, by and with the con sent of our brethren and canons now present, do decree the Most Reverend Father in God, Thomas, by Divine Providence, Lord Archbishop of York, to be inducted, installed, and enthroned." This having concluded the preliminary proceedings by the chapter, the procession was again formed and walked to the choir. Having reached the altar the Archbishop was seated in a chair placed without the rails, and shortly afterwards petitioned as before, and then took the following oath, which was administered by the registrar : "I, Thomas, by Divine Providence, Lord Arch bishop of York, elected, confirmed, and translated, and now to be inducted, installed, and enthroned into the a rchiepiscopal see of this cathedral and metropo litical church of St. Peter of York, do swear that I will observe, and to the utmost of my power defend, privileges,statutes, and customs of the contrary and repugnant to Divine and statutes of this realm. the sliyd, r ca i du h r t te s o , h tnh eet laws " So help me God and the holy evangelists." The PRESIDENT then invested the Archbishop with the pastoral and archiepiscopal dignity in the follow ing terms : ‘• nameofof Arts, Canon Residentiary of th God, ame n . We, William Henry o Dixon,lCn al t h he cedlerriacl Master and Metropolitical Church of St. Peter, o f York, and (in the absence of the Right Worshipful proclaim, Willi a m Cockburn, D oc t or o f Di v i n i ty, D ean o f t h e said cathedral) , President of this Chapter, by and w ith the consent of our breth ren an d canons now pre sent, install,honours, privileges, il enthrone eges, yu rights,dignities, an d a ppurtenances what soever apperta i n i ng to t h e a rchiepiscopal see of York." The Litany and prayers were then chanted by the Rev. Dr. Fellowes , who knelt on the north side of the C o mmunion - table. The Archbishop and the Presi dente l with the proceeded to the throne, and the Archbishop being seated, the President again declared him to be enthroned in full possession of the powers and juris dictions of the see. The President then read the fol lowing prayer, standing on the throne 4L We return the greatest thanks to God for so reverend a father, learned divine, and faithful pastor so at this time really installed and enthroned Arch bishop of the archiepiscopal see of this holy church, and supplicate the Divine Majesty that he may long and happily continue pastor of this church and Arch bishop of the archiepiscopal see of York, and by word and good example to the g l ory o f G o d an d t h e ent of this chu rc h that he may so pro happy govern m ' c eed that in the end he, with the people committed to his charge, may attain to eter na l li fe. " The installation and enthronization then concluded, the archbishop remained sittin g on the throne, and the canons having taken their proper stalls, the Te Deem (Dr. Nares) was sung by the choir, accom panied by Dr. Camidge on the organ. The ARCHBISHOP pronounced the blessing, and this concluded the service. The members of the chapter subsequently pro ceeded to the Chapter•house, and there a demise of the manor of iiishopsthorpe to the Archbishop was read and sealed with the common seal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—There has lately appeared in your univer sally-read journal some statements respecting the feelings of the French people towards the English, which, in the present state of the relations of the two countries, are in my opinion not only calculated to mislead the public feeling, but are also likely to do much mischief. t w o id n e l a l y k - e s p t h r e e a m d e e ff v e i l e , t a a l m s u u r s te needs e d m s a y pass o o u n g your In the h o p e o f coun t erac ti ng i n some measure thi s impartiality for th e i nser ti on o f a f ew remar k s , w hi c h, same channel which originally served to propagate the error. I allude more particularly to a paragraph in the letter of my Lord Ellesmere, in which his Lordship, on the strength of what he calls a long and intimate intercourse with the French people, protests. that he does not know which feeling most predominates in their minds towards the English—whether that of hatred or contempt. Now, I, on the faith of an intimacy in all proba bility much more extended and intimate than that of his Lordship, assert this to be a gross misstatement of their feelings towards my countrymen. No ! there is a certain portion of the French people—including, of course, all the most narrow-minded and ignorant — who feel a great deal of illw ill, envy, jealousy, and even hatred—if you will, but, contempt—no ! that feeling has no place in their minds as regards the English. On the contrary, I have heard in a thousand in stances well-bred and intelligent Frenchmen ac knowledge our superiority in many points, more especially in all which has relation to the mechanical arts; in all which promotes the useful and the com fortable; nay, they go so far as to accord us the superiority in enterprise, anti more especially in the perseverance and consistency of character which con stitute the principal element of success in all under takings. On the other hand, they undoubtedly lay claim to some degree of superiority, perhaps in certain branches of literature, in all which relates to the fine arts, and generally to all which appertains to brilliancy of intellect, and I should be much sur prised to find any intelligent Englishman deny their claim to this superiority. And, why should these claims be refused to either party—they being at the same time so clearly defined and so different ? What is there to wound the susceptibility or mortify the vanity of either party ? To refuse the character of a great people to the English is to close your eyes to the sun at noonday ; to accord the same title to Frenchman is only to understand them ; I do not mean to understand them like one of my countrymen who comes to spend a fortnight in Paris, without speaking a word of the language — who comes brimfull of prejudices, and determined beforehand to see nothing good that is not English. That is not the way to understand France or French men. No ! send me over one unprejudiced, with a fair portion of common sense, who speaks fluently the language, and let him remain here two years. By the end of that time I'll engage he'll find some thing to admire in Frenchmen. Let him see their Boulevards, their elegantly fitted shops, their brilliant cafes; let him examine their public gardens, their monuments, their museums, their theatres, the ele gance and ease which preside at their reunions, and I shall be much surprised if, after all this, he denies them the character of a great people. But, to return to the subject which in fact forms the corner-stone of my communication—the assertion that the French as a nation despise the English. I insist more especially on this point, because, if true, all hopes of accommodation would be vain ; he who would conciliate an enemy that despises him would only increase the evil, except by the most abject submis sion, which of course is not to be thought of. But it is not true. No Frenchman would object to be put upon a par with the English—more he claims not, with less he will not be satisfied, and I am con fident that if a few Englishmen like Sir Robert Peel, or men of his standing, would explicitly and frankly express an opinion tantamount to this—if my countrymen would cease to fling Waterloo in their teeth, and would also cease the vulgar bragga docio of one Englishman being equal to three French men, it would he a means of calming the irrita tion to such a degree that war in our time would be next to impossible. For, will any one contend for an instant that any clashing of positive or mate rial interests Is to be apprehended under present circumstances as sufficient to bring about so dire a calamity ? No; should a war arise, the fell monster must be engendered by some extraordinary ebullition of the present unfortunate irritations, which, burst ing all bounds, shall at one fell swoop silence and destroy in the two people every sentiment of justice and humanity, and, at the same time, I may add, every consideration of positive or material interests —and for a rupture commenced under such circum• stances what must be the probable result? Having no definite object, it could only end in a war of extermination, or until one or the other sank from sheer exhaustion. And is it for a moment to be thought of that so dire a catastrophe shall be accom plished merely to decide the vulgar question as to which is the best man ? And this in the nineteenth century, between the two most enlightened nations of the earth ! Forbid it justice ! forbid it humanity ! forbid it every Christian feeling ! In the hope, Sir, that your insertion of these re marks may furnish a hint for some one of more im portance and capability than myself to improve upon, I beg leave to subscribe myself as one of the most ardent admirers of your admirably conducted journal, and also your constant reader, Paris, Jan. 12. JOHN AUSTIN. PRISONS PRIVATE PROPERTY.—We have already intimated that many of the prisons of the last century were private property, and that these very prisons were most remarkable for neglect and for the abuses which prevailed in them. We have now to add that some of the worst-conditioned gaols were the property of noble men and dignitaries in the Church. Among the noble, reverend, and right reverend proprietors, we find the names of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, Lord Salisbury, the Duke of Portland, Lord Exeter, Christ Church College, Oxford, the Bishop of Salisbury, Lord Arundel, the Marquis of Carnarvon, the Duke of Devonshire, the :Duke of Norfolk, the Duke of Leeds, the Bishop of Durham. Lord Derby, the Earl of Chol mondeley. Any one who will take the pains to refer to the " State of Prisons" will be convinced that the strictures of Howard on the prisons which were pri vate property apply with peculiar force to those in the possession of these distinguished individuals.—Frafer's FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a protracted in quiry was held at the Board-room of the London Hos pital, before Mr. Baker, into the death of Charles Thorogood, aged fifty, who met his death by alleged reckless omnibus driving. From the statement of Josiah Thoregood, deceased's son, it appeared that deceased, who for many years had been time-keeper at the Royal Exehanve, was riding, about nine o'clock in the evening of the 3d instant, in Barber's Hackney omnibus, 4,895, of which witness was conductor. Between Shoreditch and Cambridge heath this omnibus passed Bryan's omni bus, 4,910, leaving the latter in the rear. On arriving at Sebright-street, witness's omnibus stopped, and let out deceased, who was in the act of reaching the path, when he was knocked down by the horses of 4,910, the driver of which endeavoured to pass Barber on the near side, and thus caused the accident. Deceased was re moved to the hospital, where he died on Monday, of a fractured jawbone. The evidence on each side was very conflicting. Verdict —" Accidental death"—the jury ex pressing a hope that the Coroner would caution Knight, the driver of 4,910, as to his future conduct. This having been done, Knight said he had been eighteen years on the road, and warmly denied the imputation that he had lost control over his horses at the moment of the fatal occurrence, which he deeply deplored. AVERAGE COST OF GAS. Asa sort of average locality, in which neither the advantages of the pit mouth, as at Wakefield, nor the disadvantages of a more distant coal market, as in the metropolis, might be thought or alleged to interfere with a right result, we applied to a private establishment not far from Leicester, and obtained from it a note of the particulars of the cost of gas manufactured there on the premises, and including every outlay in its production and management. In place of a moderate per centage of interest on the original or other outlay for gas-house and apparatus. however. we , have, in this note, a sum of 401., for new retorts and tear and wear, which would constitute such a per centage on a comparatively enormous amount of sunk capital— doubtless far more than the sum so expended. - We have also to add, that no return is made on anything but coke—ammonia, gas tar, and other products, such a s those of purification, breeze, &c., and the lime or other material used, being regarded all as so much waste. Yet, under all these positive disadvantages, which, after all, render this return a very high one—much above a fair average one of the kind alluded to—we have an article, produced, on a small scale, at two shillings, in cluding all necessary a nd contin g ent expe , ses; while, in the same vicinity, at the same peried,-the same article was selling, on a large scale, at more than seven shillings! ._Builder. BL A CKBURIC—REDECTION OF WAGES.—Friday list, notices were posted in all the mills of the town, apprising the hands that their wages would be reduced (generally 10 per, cent.) at the expiration of a month after date. In a few instances the reduction will be 10 per cent. on the spinners and weavers' wages, and 7i per cent. o „ the. Wages of the card-room hands; but in the majority of instances it will bo uniform. •Sir William Veilden and Sons' mill started on-Monday last, after st emation of about 'three moAths.—Manchister Guardian. bel, LIABILITIES OF SPAIN. APPEAL TO LORD PALMERSTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln your paper of the Ist inst. of the present year is very properly given a concise application of " Several Holders of Spanish Bonds in Plymouth" to ascertain when their just claims on Spain, in the shape of long unpaid dividends, are likely to meet with consideration by the intervention of Lord Pal merston. As I have not seen any reply in The Sun to this very natural exhibition of feeling, as an ancient creditor of that state, and holder of the three denomi nations of paper (active, deferred, and passive), given at the solemn conversion of their whole debt in 1834 in lieu and satisfaction of all claims, I beg to state, simply carrying out this measure by at length giving vitality to the active debt, is all that is imperatively requisite of Spain to effect to liberate herself from the odious stigma of procrastination and evasion. To our own noble Foreign Secretary, and to every similar important official in Europe, intercourse with a self degraded and repudiating country must be painful and humiliating indeed, and it must be the earnest and paramount desire and duty of those personages to bring the defaulters within the limits that honesty and good faith prescribe for all mankind. The authenticated condition of Spain is acknowledged prosperous—produ ce most abundant, colonies yet in her hands that give vast revenue to the parent state, a ready market in England for all her various im ports, with a clear revenue of full double the amount of that held when her engagements were formed to meet her then diminished and dormant resources. Some feelings of gratitude must likewise exist among the chivalrous population of this territory, whose sacred boundaries and institu tionsa nd treasure,iia's have been sustained a se n i d o s p n h e e s lad be ey feltß r i t t i h s a b t b t l i o w o y d have had seasons of unusual general prosperity, that the reverse has been the fate of their ino,t useful ally (Great Britain). Is not this the time, above all others, most suitable to be just, if not grateful ? I cannot, Sir, as a creditor of Spain, listen to the absurd and frequently paraded groundless claims of selfish and mistaken solitary holders of deferred or passive stock, the former having no existence beyond the approaching drawing of May next, while the latter is mainly in the hands of the Government of Spain itself, who must not on any pretence whatever be urged to endanger the whole fabric of their finance by throwing it again on the market. Although these are incontrovertible facts, it has incidentally transpired that efforts have been making since the period of the singular and uncalled-for enormous concession of 2111. 13s. 4d. per cent. by the Spanish Minister Carrasco, to a few wealthy English collectors of the ,first deficient dividend, to place passive stock in the same position, and let it run away with all the available means of the State. To effect this act of spoliation, the British Govern ment, the British Ambassador at Madrid, and the British press, have been unscrupulously and insidu ously urged in various reprehensible modes to inter fere. These are the true causes of delay and embar rassment, and must be greatly annoying to the dis tinguished association of English gentlemen, with their highly esteemed chairman, Mr. Dempster Hemming, acting in conjunction with foreign deputations on behalf of creditors, and whose very justifiable appeal for the requisite aid to sustain an expensive mission and heavy contingencies, hitherto borne by them selves, is, from what I have feebly described, not at • tended to with that warmth that Englishmen inva riably show in cases of difficulty. With hopes that on this important topic neither yourself nor your " Plymouth" correspondent will consider me prolix, I am, Sir, your Read. r, and London, Jan. 6.

BIRMINGHAM, THURSDAY EVENING. The prin cipal quarterly meeting of the ironmasters for the present quarter was held in the Town Hall of this town to-day; but, although considerable interest, in consequence of the present state of the mining dis tricts, was attached to. the proceedings, nothing oc curred worthy of an extended notice. The reports of the Dudley and Wolverhampton meetings have anticipated almost all that can be said of the meeting of to-day. There was a very large attendance of ironmasters from Wales, South Staffordshire, Shrop shire, and London, and also of persons directly or indirectly interested in the iron trade from various parts of the kingdom. Still little or nothing was done ; and, moreover, little inclination was evinced for doing. It is sufficient to say that prices remain, as far as the heads of great firms can determine them, the same as those fixed at Dudley—viz., a reduction of 2/. upon last quarter's quotations. The strike of the men is daily becoming more general ; the mas ters, who declare their stocks to be small are content to bide their time ; and, in all probability, before an other month has passed over, unless some unexpected counter-movement occurs, the iron works of this im mediate neighbourhood will be at a complete stand. A VISIT TO MADAME CATALINI.—We called upon Madame Catalini, who leaves her palazzo, on the side of the mountains, in the winter months, to reside with her son Malabrcque, in Florence. She presently made her appearance, with that vivacity and captivating manner which so much delighted us in England. After a short conversation with Madame 0--, I spoke to her in English, coupling my name with Mrs. Loraine Smith, of Leicestershire, at whose house I spent a week with her thirty-six years ago. The incident directly flashed across her mind, and with obvious pleasure, she began to recount the honours paid her on that occasion, especially a banquet of Mr. Pochin's, at Barkby. She retains her English, and was pleased to talk to me in my own lan guage. I observed that it was forty years since I first heard her at the Opera, in London. She instantly re plied,—" Thirty-nine. I was in Portugal in 1807, and, though the war was raging, I ventured to 'nuke my way to England through France. When at Paris I was denied a passport. However, I got introduced to Talleyrand, and, by the aid of a handful of gold, I was put into a Government boat, and ordered to he down to avoid being shut; and, wonderful to relate, I got over in safety, with my little boy seven months old." Great suspicion was attached to foreigners who arrived from the Continent at that time. Viotti, I remember, was absurdly ordered out of the country, and Kelly, who was a manager in the Opera House, officially announced from the stage, that Madame Catalini and her husband Valabreque, were not objects of suspicion to the Government. I was sue, prised at the vigour of Madame Catalini, and how little she was altered since I saw her at Derby in 1828. I paid her a compliment upon her good looks. " Ah," said she, " I'm grown old and ugly." I would not allow it. " Why, man," she said, " I'm sixty-six!" She has lost none of that commanding expression which gave her such dignity on the stage. She is without a wrinkle, and appears to be eo more than forty. Her breadth of chest is still remarkable; it was this which endowed her with the finest voice that ever sang. Her speaking voice and dramatic air are still charming, and not in the least impaired.—Gardiner's Sights in Italy. FOREIGN PROVISIONS. —The frost on the Continent provisions from has nol l a a ff n , d , c a t e n d d t G h e e r a p n p y l as icattl e rg a h nd is inaccessible at present in consequence of the state of the Elbe, the steamers trading to and from the metropolis and that place, and conveying the mails, being obliged to put into Cuxhaven, for which reason they are prevented from bringing any cattle or provisions, other than a few packages of merchandise which can be readily shipped. One vessel (a steamer) arrived on Saturday from Rot terdam with cattle and provisions and a general cargo, and of the numerous arrivals of the kind usually due on Monday, one only took place from Harlingen, but none from Rotterdam, the steamer Rainbow reporting from the Dutch port of Scheveningen, with a quantity of yeast and fish, and a small Dutch craft of 27 tons burden only arrived at Blackwell with a cargo of live s t oc k f rom Nordwyk. The Calais, Boulogne, Ostend, and Antwerp boats have arrived in due course. The:steam-ship Vene zuela, which arrived from Cuxhaven with the Harnburgh mails, bringing numerous packages of general merchan • disc, besides pork and grain, reports that the captain was uncertain as to the contents of the packages, being driven out to sea before bills of lading could be obtained, in consequence of which, application was made on the part of the company for the unshipping of the cargo on arrival without the usual formula being throughof gone at Lynn, having received .

Unprecedentedly large es the the gentleman that a summons from the Whitechapel amount of mortality was in November, the present re - c o unty Court might enforce that justice which Ady port shows it to have been still larger last month. It is denied him. A summons was accordingly obtained, and gratifying to learn, that the period of severest trial seems e few days afterwards the gentleman received notice that to be now past. The mortality, Dr. Stark informs 11 , , the money had been paid into Court. If this plan were had reached its climax on the 30th November, nod front generally adopted by those who have been duped, the that date it has " slowly but steadily declined," though ub.., r os t ee el ee solicitor would be materially assisted in put still during the last two weeks greatly above tnhe_or-tV ring an end to the nefarious system so long and so sue average.
