THE SUN, Clptain G. R. Mundy, to meet whoni a select party of naval of a dilapidated Ministry might, on being otlicers was invited. recog nised and acted upon, have been RN' Majesty's steam-frigate Arnphion, 34, is taking in her tanks and sea stores. viewed as suggestive of a similar effort The Diligence naval transport arrived here late on Tues day evening from Plymouth, and having discharged a few stores for the dockyard, proceeded on her way to W oolwich, in tow of her Majesty's steam-tug vessel African. The Clara Jane, Cheesman master, from Swansea, laden with coals for the use of the steam squadron at this port, arrived here late on Tuesday evening, having been five weeks on her passage, during which she experienced much bad weather, and was obliged to put into Plymouth, in conse quence of being short of provisions. She is to be placed alongside her Majesty's ship Fortitude, the coal-depot for steamers at this port, for the purpose of discharging part of her cargo. The brig George Andreas, Black master, from Newcastle, arrived here with coals for the dockyard, on the evening of i he 23th ult., and has been taken into the basin to discharge her cargo. She is to be worked out at the low charge of Id. per ton per man, and will employ four coal-whippers. Many other gangs are now offering to work at the same rate on board all ships employed on service connected with her Majestys dockyard here. The brig Thetis, of South Shields, passed by here on Tues day, en route to Rochester. Woen.wtcu, I.—The Diligence store-ship, arrived at Woolwich to-day. The North Star, Commander Pullen, having taken on board her stores at Deptford for the Arctic expedition, was brought down to Woolwich to-day to be made ready to ac company the other vessels of the squadron, under Captain Sir Edward Belcher, C. 8., in their voyage to the Arctic regions. in regard to the unsightly pile of masonry connecting at Lambeth the river banks of Surrey and Middle sex. After relieving the country of the old Whig Cabinet, the new advisers of the SovEnnuis might not inappropriately relieve the Thames of old Westminster-bridge —erecting in the place of the latter a more symmetrical structure, as they had con structed in lieu of the former a more definite and comprehensible Government. But no—on the Ist of April, appropriately enough—it was simultaneosly announced that the consent of Lord J. MANNERS:WaS withheld from any measure such as the one suggested by the Member for the University of Oxford, and the ballads of Lord JOHN MANNERS were announced to be again on sale at the RIVINGTONS. The archi tectural improvements of the metropolis would seem to have been added to that " wealth and commerce," to those " laws" and to that " learning," which the laureate of Young England wished to behold sacri ficed to the Moloch of " nobilitie." It matters nothing that the "silent highway," the principal path for the traffic of the wealthiest capital in Europe, should still be disfigured by the most dis graced structure in the shape of a bridge that could well be imagined ; it matters not that that structure was declared to be in a dangerous state six years ago, and that the demand for its destruction was two ses sions afterwards pronounced to be imperative—the carrying out of the suggestions made by the last Westminster-bridge Commission involved the neces sity of a somewhat inconvenient exertion to some of the members of the new Cabinet, and therefore this postponement ! All that could last evening be extorted from the Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests was the production of a note relating to the subject under discussion! Lord JOHN MANNERS consented to lay upon the table of the House of Commons the letter referring to the stability of the present bridge, written by—a gentle man whose name must be regarded as peculiarly un lucky under the circumstances —Woman. Although it were superfluous and little less than a waste of time, under the peculiarity of the case, at present to enter into any detailed examination of the arguments contained in the report of the Westminster bridge Commission of 1851, it may still be observed, as bearing somewhat forcibly at this moment upon the question here under consideration, that the document referred to closes with the seven subjoined resolu tions, and those resolutions, moreover, let it be re membered, agreed to unanimously : " 1. That the present bridge should be used as a temporary bridge until a new bridge shall have been constructed. " 2. That a new bridge should be constructed ad joining, or as near as possible, to the present bridge on the north side, that is, lower down the river. 3. That the new bridge should not be less than 60 feet in width, including the footways. " 4. That it be constructed of iron, with stone " 5. That it co ns i st o f no more than five arches piers. "6. That th e h e i g h t of headway of the e . arch above Trinity datum be not less than 25ft. Gin. " 7. That it is desirable that no time should be lost in making preparation for the commencement of the work." Whether the new structure (that, we must still hope, is "to be") should be built upon the model of the bridge at Southwark, or whether, instead of being cast-iron, it should be granite, built in a manner likely to harmonize with the elaborated gothic pile of the new Houses of Parliament, is a question which admits rather largely, of course, of argu ment, and might not unreasonably be reserved for a little further consideration. But whether active measures should or should not be adopted, with a view to remove the existing bridge and to substitute a new one in a contiguous situation, can scarcely admit any doubt whatever, after that final resolution of the Commissioners, to the ef fect " that it is desirable no time should be lost in making preparation for the com mencement of the work"—the work of removal and reconstruction. In defiance of which resolution the matter has again been referred to another session by the Commissioners of Works, speaking in the name of no Government. When is this deplorable system of procrastination to terminate? When is the country to be haunted no longer by that word of " damning iteration" —postponement, postponement, postponement ?

The House of Commons last night, after a prolonged discussion, decided against the proposed investigation, and ignored the bill ofiin dicttnent that had been preferred against that rather notorious constituency. Hear this, ye BLAGcs and EDWARDSES, and rejoice !—uplift your voices in exul tation, your honourable occupation is not altogether gone ! It is true that ye may no longer have the op portunity of exercising your skill and ingenuity in the scene of your former labours ; but there are many St. Albanses in the field, and many zealous labourers in the cause in which ye have already signalised yourselves, and whose future doings may cast your quondam exploits into the shade. What encouragement will the majority of 42 afford to these exemplary gentlemen in their laudable vocations! The golden key, or some equally significant token may again be hung out. The House of Commons has extended the shield of its protection over a constituency where not only the electioneer ing proceedings have bee❑ most loudly and generally complained of, but where the existence of habitual bribery and corruption has rested on something more than mere suspicion. It was a decision worthy of those who rejected the ballot, who refused to protect the voter against intimidation, or to place him in a position where the sale of his vote would be all but impracticable. It would almost seem as if the Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen conceived that these I practices formed a❑ essential part of the British Con- ' stitution, and that whenever they were completely abolished the sun of England's glory would be set for ever. .I.STLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

" What is a pound ?" was a question triumphantly asked by the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and repeated, usgue ad nauseam, by his followers, the plutocrats and bullionists. The Right Honourable Baronet defined the meaning of the term to be "neither more nor leas than a definite quantity of gold, with a mark upon it to determine its weight and fineness." Interested parties, those who were living in idleness upon the fat of the land, and preying upon the bowels of industry, accepted the interpretation with joy, and considered the party by whom it was put forward as "a DANIEL come to Judgment." It was at that period the interest of the drones in the national hive, to insist on the letter while disre gardingthe spirit of their contracts. Th e y seemed to forget, or rather to misapply, the principl e enun org, ciated by JOHN LOCKE, that "Men in their bargains contract not for denominations or sounds, but for the intrinsic value." If this doctrine had been observed it would follow, as a matter of course, that when gold becomes unduly appreciated, so that the 5 dwts. gm, which were called "a pound," poesessed double LONDON, " the purchasing power" previously belonging thereto, the quantity of bullion should be reduced, so as to make the debtor liable for the same intrinsic value only in discharge of his obligation that the same nominal amount possessed at the time when it was contracted. This view, however, was earnestly protested against at the time by the bullionists. Gold was scarce and could not be then provided in sufficient quantities to meet the wants and exigencies of our rapidly in creasing population and commerce. The value of the pound, convertible on demand into 123 grains of ster ling gold, was much more than that of the inconvertible bank-note, to which seven or eight shillings should be added in order to obtain a gold coin purporting to be of the same value. Those, then, who advanced paper re quired to be paid in gold, and insisted that their de mands could only be satisfied by the delivery for each pound of .5 dwts. and 3 grs. of gold, and nothing more or less. It was by such arguments that the chains of the debtors were double rivetted, and the quantity of labour necessary to satisfy the public taxes or pri vate claims materially increased. In vain did mo netarylreformers protest against the Act of 1819, and the supplemental measure of 1844, which appeared es sential to the due carrying out of the principle. Their remonstrances were received either with care less apathy or gross contumely. The later measure, which not only continued the necessity of paying in gold debts contracted in paper, but created an artificial scarcity of the precious metal by requiring that a large amount should be locked up in the coffers of the Bank, lying idle and unproductive, when its active circulation would be productive of the: most benefioial results, was lauded as the per fection of human wisdom. In vain did the commer cial crisis of 1847 arise. It was ascribed to every cause but the true. We heard of overtrading, of commercial imprudence, and mercantile delinquencies. In vain was the well-considered report of the Select Committee of the House of Lords—it was totally disregarded. In vain was the powerful and convincing testimony of the many unim peachable witnesses whose evidence was taken before the carefully selected Committee of the House of Commons—the obnoxious law was maintainsdj in all its stringency, and no modification or alteration would he beard of. The rnoneyocracy should still keep their holds on the necks of the industrious classes, cramping their exertions and paralysing their energies. But PROVIDENCE vouchsafed the relief to the suf fering people which man refused. The almost mi raculous discoveries of gold in California and Australia were brought to light. Individual miners, working without suitable tools or combined efforts, obtained almost fabulous wealth, which found its way not only to this country, where there has been, in consequence, an increase of at least 20 per cent. to the circulating medium, but also to almost every other nation in the world. Formerly, when gold was abundant in England, it was scarce in America, and vice versa, Different nations were trying to obtain sufficient for their own wants, utterly careless as to the effects on other countries. They were scrambling with one another, like the children described by LOCKE as " pulling at the scanty coverlet." But now there is enough for all. It does not follow that because there is high-water in Threadneedle-street, there must be a deficiency in Wall-street, or that London is sup plied at the expense of Paris. Everything, too, pro_ miser a steady increase, and we shall be much disappointed if even the calumniated and well abused gold companies do not produce results that will astonish even the most sanguine shareholders. The question, then, what will be the effect of the gold discoveries in California and Australia, and the increased activity in New Granada and other auriferous districts ? must be considered, and that speedily. It is more than probable that the propo sition for national notes and taxation paper would not now be so contumeliously rejected as of yore ; that " worthless rags" might be more favour ably received by butchers and bakers than in the olden time. On this point we would invite attention to a com munication which will be found in another part of this day's impression, i❑ which the question is very ably argued. 'We must, however, declare that the interests of the debtors must be attended to in any change that may take place, and that as no allowanc e was made to the tax-payers during the monetary crisis, none can now be claimed by tax consumers in consequence of the superabundance of bullion. The matter is one of deep and vital importance to the welfare and prosperity of the country, and it should receive that calm and attentive consideration which it so eminently merits, so that an equitable conclusion may be arrived at, in which the interests of the indus trious classes will not be disregarded, but an equal measure of justice rendered to all without exception. A characteristk letter, addressed to ourselves by " A Flag Officer," will be found in another column : and its insertion affords US pleasure, yielding evidence as it does that the profession regards with satisfac tion the recent appointment to the head of the Ad miralty of his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBER. LAND. The remarks made by our esteemed corres pondent upon the folly of subjecting the maritime service to the management of a civilian are deserving, we conceive, of very serious consideration 1 and, happily, we tre sanguine that the nationa; experiences of late will to a very considerable extent deter any future Prime Minister from appointing as First Lord of the Admiralty any administrator who has not qualified himself for the post by his personal services on those waves which, according to the national verses of the poet of the " Seasons," are ruled by Britannia. ALABAMA (From Eliza Cook's Journal) [There is a tradition that a tribe of Indians, fleeing from an enemy through the forests of the south-west, reached a noble river, flowing through a beautiful country, when the chieftain of the band struck his tent-pole into the ground, exclaiming, " Alabama ! Alabama!" signifying " Here we rest here we rest r] The whole wide world is but the same, Tracked by those foemen, Care and Grief, While every human hope would claim The spot that cheered the Indian chief. Yet where is that Elysian tide Which saved the warriors of the West? Where can we find the river's side Where mortal fears say " Here we rest ?" We often think that gold—hard gold, Will form the spot of dreamy joy, But all we get, and all we hold, Brings something with it of alloy. Good does not always mate with Gain, And wearied brow or cheerless breast, Bends o'er a golden stream in vain, Seeking the sweet words " Here we rest!" We put our trust in robe or crown— In ribbon band or jewelled star; Such things may gleam in Fortune's dream, But dazzle moat when seen afar. Ambition's temple rarely yet Let in a well-contented guest— Some spoil unwon, some deed undone, Will choke the soft words, " Here we rest 1" Some place their faith in safer creed— The wise, the God-directed few, Who think a heart is what we need To yield the peace that's pure and true; And happy they who seek and find A shelter in a kindred breast, And, leaving foes and fears behind, Say to some dear one, " Here we rest I" Go carve long epitaphs who will Indian's " Alabama" still Speaks with the fittest voice of all.

'Westminster-bridg e is doomed for yet another tweirmonth to disfigure the Thames, and to eontrast with.its dilapidated ugliness the architectural beauty of the new Houses of Parliament. The anticipated discussion of last evening ended in nothing more definite than the announcement of a yet longer pro crastination. This is deeply to be regretted, seeing that, no lees than six years ago, the old bridge was declared to be dangerous, by a Committee ap pointed to inquire into the supposed necessity for its removal. Two sessions afterwards the same opinion was pronounced by another u p o n a yet more careful investigation. In 18.51, moreover, an elaborate report pointing out the exi ge"' of some improvement in this direction, was formally her -1,1 submitted to the Lords Commissioners of --"RsTY's Treasury for their consideration. .Tna.t docurnent— ' given in extenso elsewhere in our sarzession of thi s ev 'nlug—exnidined more fully than bad hitherto been attee ep ted the im erative demand existing f or an interference in p this matter on the part of her MAJerrv's after all these encouraging and en.

It was said that the King of PRUSSIA Wils to pass some weeks there. The Second Chamber of Prussia, in the sitting of the 25th ult., voted the budg?.t for 1832, which estimates the receipts at 97,000,021 Milers, and the expenses, ordi nary and extraordinary, e t 99,434,734 thalers. The King of Pursue. returned to Berlin on the 27th uh., from his visit to the Westphalian provinces. The Customs Congress at Vienna was brought to a close on the 25th ult.

SIR,—As one of your numerous staunch advocates, please to allow me, an old officer, to make my appear ance on your quarter-deck to summons the whole crew of her Majesty's Royal Navy to give three hearty cheers for our nav a l Fi rst Lord and for the comprised honour of Old England andithe British navy, since whatever other consequences m a y result from the late political gale—and I fear that with respect to questions of the first . import ance:we shall still b e left far in the rear of the requirements of the age,—nevertheless we may hail with rejoicing the change in the atmosphere of the Admiralty, a most re quired yet almost hopeless event. And truly what an arbitrary and g ross i nsult to the navy has been the placing of a landsman in first authority at tho Admiralty; what a barefaced monopoly of all the patronage, for the purporn of making it subservient to party interests—the First Lord a n d t h e patronage changing with every change of Ministry; the patronage of the navy system itself made a scramble for party strife. Also, this placing of a civilian in supreme authority at the Ad miralty is little better than placing a mere landsman at the helm of a ship, requiring a pilot to be standing at his elbow to dirct every movement, now to this side, now to the other. What a ridiculous farce! For myself and for the navy, I deeply resent this forced lowering of our topsails to an empty stranger, and therefore gladly hail the Derby deed; and it is with excited feelings of regret that I find some naval officers advocates of the existing •y3tcw, alleging the ehjection that an admiral has so many followers; but surely not a tithe part so many as the never-ending obligations of au individual, placed in power purposely to serve an overruling state party, for should the claimant not happen to be on the right bide, what chance has he? Witness the many deserving officers whose heads have b een stepped over by juniors s of half their standing. Moreove r patronage, great in ot in i n e ti q ; n character, aucn otrrg s I ta v n i d ew s p irtOminently first, is yet by no means the main p experienced and di stinguished profes ,oabsolutely re quiring competent to a ri g h t direction of our c io s a u c e ol e a ly important naval pow er in all its bearings. To imagine a flag officer to be less scrupulous than a civilian to the general and right direction of the naval patronage, is to suppose there are admir a l s in the service who have no proper regard for the honour and consequence of the pro r in ho an arg to ue be fo f r ou p n la d c ? ing T t o he m m y . n wh th e o re se is offi su C c e h rs a W selves under a landsman are those who do not show a proper regard for the honour and welfare of their pro fession, and I would suggest precaution lest they un anpaplyr:e.hellnsult.o wittingly strand their own cable. a a.'a e patent abuse to which I point, may .be considered al being singularly marked by the appointment. of an army officer to pre side at the Admiralty, a distinct service. But mortify ing as this may have been felt, m m lt, it is quite obvious that ono of our brethren in arms is - nee ore competent to the situation than a mere landsman, noble though he may be, but who probably may never have been christ ened with the spray of salt water, and never saw a cannon fired in an . ger, and who very possibly may not have marine brooding enough to steer a boat across the river Thames, mahout such incessant and unscientific tos andfros of the rudder, as would figure out such a vermicular wake as would make the presumptuous wight the laughing stock of the multitudes l on each bank to witness the amusing assembledessa F ancy , 00, a mere landsman perambulating our d yards to survey the building of our ships, and to inspct the quality and quantity of oar naval stores ; e, were it not that ho moves screened by an assemblage of naval insignia the dockyard mates wo u ld absolutely laugh him to scorn. To such indignity as I h ave been considering the army would not submit for a day ; h onour would immediately call up an angry rising throughout the entire camp, and I do greatly admire this esprit de corps, though it con stitutes a contrast . very disadvantageoue to the existing crushed spirit of the navy. Al ao our condition too much resembles that of the victim endured and hopele ss miser under th e l aw , who by l ong y --( comes at length but little sensible of the weight and disgrace of his chains. It would be highly divertin g to see how our brave and justly honoured Duke would eye a civilian strutting about and assuming all authority at the Horse Guards; I opine he would be forthwith marched out at double quit time, the movement, too, probehly accelerated by a well directed stimulus, "Just in the place where honour's lodg'd, As wive philosophers have judg'd-'' I feel assured there is not an admiral in the service who would consent to place himself i n a situation a t once so invidious and insulting as that which I have remarked upon. I imagine a naval flag waving in authority at the Horse Guards; sur e ly the weather-beaten veteran per ambulating the forts and inspecting the militar stores would never vent ure to look behind him, aware y of the derision and contempt which would be standing in alto relievo upon his gallant retinue, faces too flushed a n d crimsoned to the co l our of their Martial garbs. No, the veteran tar would indeed be as a fish out of water, gasping and convulsed by the effect of the unnatural element in which be was p l aced. For the navy let the offensive conception be annihilated. Now, concerning this Admiralty affair, and including the reasons for it, there is a vast deal more to be said, rivalling if not cur pas,ing the h . igh reach of intellect which I have endea but voured to bring do wn withi n th e reac h of common senile, tip and present having eh eddy 'pun out so long a yarn, I must re e l artic e In offering thismy marinel. essay, I have sought to vindi cate and uphold the honour of the British navy, and for my encouragement I hear in advocacy the-voice of our idolized national guardian• Britannia calls aloud for justice and honour due, for Britannia rules the waves, the glory of her sceptre; and regarding the state stigma fixed upon her favourite sons of the ocean, she stands indignant, and in proud resentment turns the wilful and disgracing aberration over, as a choice article for our witty and sprightly W e have had a long . range of illustrious statesmen moving boron the public, as monster children in leading-strings.

A ,CCIDENT To TRE DOVER EXPRESS TRAIN.—An accident of a rather alarmi ng character, but happily unat tended by the slightest personal injury to the passengers, occurred yesterday morning to the express train, which leaves Dover at eight B. M. While passing the Edenbridge station the carriages ran oft' the rails, but the driver was fortunately able to stop the train almost instantly, a n d t h e passengers all descended unhurt. By, means of the electric telegraph assistance was immediately obtained, and precau tionary measures taken to prevent accident to approaching trains. After a short time the passengers were enabled to proceed to their destinations, the only inconvenience experi enced having been delay and consequent anxiety to friends. The carriages were replaced on the rails, and the ordinary traffic of the lino was resumed within two hours allot. the I accident. EVENING, APRIL 2, 1852. THE S RKETS BarrisH sarzwayss.

The quantity of produce brought forward at the public sales this week has been very moderate, and there- is no essential alteration in the prices of the leading staples.

Upon the stat e o f th e P iece-goods Market daring the past month Messrs. MsNair, Greenhow, and Irving, write from Manchester as follows:_" Though the , bustling activity which in byegone years used proverbially to characterise the month of March would appear to have passed away from the now much mere frequent and rapid intercourse established be tween every district of the United Kingdom and with almost every portion of the world, it is gratifying to perceive that, though prosecuted in a much less active manner, outwardly its operations in the present year have again been of an ex tensive character. During the first fourteen days of the month the position of matters, as indicated in our last monthly circular, experienced further improvement as re garded demand, accompanied not only with greater firmness in prices, but likewise with a further advance upon certain descriptions of cloth and yarn. Since then, from the droop ing tendency of the Liverpool Cotton Market, . as consequent upon a secession of the then recent heavy operations in it, and in an apprehended early and heavy supply of the raw material, this market, as usual, has manifested its unvarying sympathy, and induced a material suspension of operations, except for pressing wants, together with a general and de clining tendency in prices." The Bill brought in to enable her Majesty to abolish otherwise than by treaty, on condition of reciprocity, differen. tial duties on foreign ships, provides that " where it shall appear to her Majesty that by the laws or regulations of any foreign power the trade and shipping of Great Britain in the ports of such foreign power have been placed upon the same fooling as the trade and shipping of such foreign power, it shall be lawful for her Majesty, by order to be by her made with the advice of her Privy Council, and to be published in the London Gazette, to order and declare that the trade and the Shipping of su c h f ore i gn pewer shall have of provisions of this Act; and there upon all the provisions, clauses, matters, and things in the said first -recited Act contained shall, so long as such Order in Council shall remain in force, but no longer, apply and extend to the trade and shipping of such foreign power, as fully and effectually, to all intents and purposes, as they apply to the trade and shipping of the said United States and Portugal, or would apply to such trade and shipping if the convention and treaty intended to be carried into effect by the said first-recited Act were in force, and shall also apply . and extend to differential duties or charges on goods imported or exported in the ships or vessels of such foreign power as well as to differential duties on the ships or vessels of such foreign power." ' Official returns of the position of the Savings Banks, between November 20, 1849, and August 8, 1851, show rather interesting results. It would appear that from January to July, 1850, the sums withdrawn were very large, whereas in the first three months of 185 t the deposits exceeded the repayments. Taking the whole period from November, . 1849, to August, 1851, the amounts were as follow : Excess paid in by Savings Banks beyond the sums drawn out . .................. • ......

Money is easier in the market, and this will give encourage ment to speculation,scul if politics do not intervene South Sea Stock is / 8 , and Bank Stock for Account brings 221. Attention in the Foreign Market is almost exclusively directed to Mexican Bonds, which are 61111 per cent. higher than yesterday, being 3414 % for the old stock, and 27 3 4 to 28 1 / 2 for the new converted, ex dividend. Besides th information, the l arge amount of the next remittan c e , Messrs. Baring B rothers are now in a position to advance part of the indemnity money to those who do not prefer waiting. Many have entire confidence and sufficient means to hold on and save the interest asked, viz,, at the rate of five per cent. per annum. Proposals to farm the revenue, so as to cover the dividend and give a surplus, have been made by some leading Mexican firms.

CORN .EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.) Notwithstanding, that the arrivals of English Wheat, this week, coastwise and by land carriage, have been some what on the increase, the show of samples of both red and white here to-day was very limited, but quite equal to the wants of the millers. Selected qualities sold at Monday'e prices; but low and middling parcels were heavy, and a total clearance of them was not effected. The imports of Foreign Wheat have amounted to 3,230 quarters; but the quantity on offer was comparatively small. The large quantity of French Flour at hand had a depressing influence upon the trade, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Floating cargoes were much neglected, yet we cannot call them lower. With both English and Foreign Barley we were tolerably well, but not were largely, supplied. Picked samples fit for malting steady at late rates. In grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing. No change took place in the value of malt, for which article the inquiry ruled inactive. The show of Oats was limited, whilst the demand for most kinds was steady, at full prices. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were very dull. 3ittilVALt3 Tills WEEIs. Engll3k ......
