It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, having only paid one half the premiums for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub ject only to the deductien of 144/. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. On the Ist of. July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent. per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 20/. a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,000/.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is new presented to the public, ten tho s lsand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a m , -, re extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The bouks as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and delis.' increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unoNcountable reason, have been either altotether overlooked, or t.- eatedtioner a lmost with isdiffer ence, by the ordinary medical pr,scti. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of :satients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness;. on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate tins pernicious effects sure to result from the pra ctices of such pretenders, the authors have for a considerable time devoted L 'iemselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases; of the tie cessityof so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that iact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an b.xs elusive and undivided attention to this department of medico.: practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersia ' affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel ne hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not bo found useful, whether such person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tahes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth much more frequently than it is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at least), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by . perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure mete be com promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. Ho will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to o which youth is addicted; he will also be enabled is point out the &o estrous consequences which are suro to follow from them if not relinquished.

PRICE 5d ';-(Y This line is rapidly approaching towards completion, and in all probability will be opened, throughout, aboutthe Ist of October. The work is one of no ordinary desciip tion, and dOes great credit to the enterprising spirit of the people of this country, and the skill of the engineer, who had to encounter the greatest difficulties. The long tunnels, and the vast excavations, particularly within two or three miles of Brighton, cannot fail to excite the astonishment even of those who have travelled on the other great lines which now traverse the country, and natives, as well as foreigners, are absotitely at. a loss to find out who furnishes the sums of money re quired to carry into effect undertakings far more 1 set and useful than those completed by the masters of the world. The part of the line finished (more than two thirds of whole) is in excellent condition, and no-- thing can exceed the regularity of the system adopted by the Directors. Every servant of the Company appears to be at his post, and signals of the most minute descrip tion are regularly made on the arrival of a train at any points where the slightest danger can be anticipated, and every precaution is taken to ensure the safety of the passengers. A correspondent of a Morning Paper (the Past) com plains that on arriving at one of the stations by coach, there was no porter to take his luggage ; that he had to wait long before the doors were opened ; and when that took place, a great scene of confusion ensued by the dif ferent passengers rushing to get seats. We have passed up and down the line occasionally, and certainly cannot confirm the statement ; but if there are any grounds for it, the Directors will, no doubt, without delay, take steps to remedy the defect. They have servants enough on the line to attend to passengers, lug gage, and every thing— many of them indeed seemed in want of employment, and as no fees are al lowed the Directors may be well aware that they will require to be looked after. There is a complaint, how ever, of more serious importance than this, namely, the high fares which the Directors say they are com pelled to adopt in consequence of the heavy charges made by the coach proprietors from Ilayward's Reath to Brighton. Possibly there may be some truth in this, and we shall therefore wait patiently till the line is opened throughout. When that takes place there should be not only a reduction in the fares, but a third class train to accommodate the work ing classes. If the fares were 55., 75., and 10s., the public and the Proprietors would be alike bene fited. The Company must compete not only with the Brighton coaches but with every railroad from London, and every large steam-boat on the Thames.: A man with a family will not pay eleven shillings a head to go to Brighton while he can go to Ramsgate, nearly twice the distance, for half the price. While we admire the spirit of the Proprietors who have raised two millions sterling to complete this single line—a sum larger than the French are ever likely to raise for the whole of France in a similar way —and are desirous to see this spirit meet with its proper reward, we cannot help feeling extreme regret at the ruinous effect it will have on the most splendid coaching establishments in the world. In a few weeks nearly all these will be swept from the road, hundreds of persons will be thrown out of employment, grass will grow where horses and carriages, justly the pride of the country, were. wont hourly to pass, and ere long the far-famed Brighton drivers, with their ma g nificent horses and coaches, will be numbered with the things that were. Regret, however, is vain. The movement has commenced, and must go on till new lines of communication are established throughout every part of the kingdom. If we were to take the liberty of making a suggestion to the Directors in favour of those turned outof employment by the opening of the line, it would be that all such per sons who are equally fit with other applicants for situa tions should have the preference. ACCIDENT AT VIRGINIA. WATER WINDSOR, SUNDAY EVENING.—Her Majesty left the Castle yesterday afternoon in an open carriage and four, ac companied by the Duchess of Bedford and the Countess of Erroll, rather earlier than usual, ,for the purpose of pro ceeding to the neighbourhood of. Virginia Water, to wit ness the hunting along the margin of the lake of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's Lilliputian pack of beagles. The Hon. Miss Cavendish, with Lady Ida Hay and the Earl of Erroll, followed in a pony phaeton and four, and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with Lord Alfred Paget, the Marquis of Headfort, Colonel Wylde, Major Keppel, and other members of the Royal House hold, proceeded on horseback. Upon the Royal party arriving at that part of the lake near the Obelisk, about a mile from Cumberland-lodge, the carriages were drawn up close to the mound, in order to afford her Majesty a good view of the sport. They had not been upon this spot but a few minutes, when, upon the beagles being brought near to the Queen, their " tuneful voices" caused the pony in the phaeton (containing Lord Erroll, Lady Hay, and _Miss Cavendish) upon which the front postilion was mounted, to show symptoms of kicking ; and upon the dogs run ning between the legs of the horses, it reared upon the back of the off leader, and threw its rider, kicking him on the head, which came into contact with the wheel as he fell. The leaders, then under no cont ro l, d arte d sharply round, and rushed down the mound towards the lake, running over the dismounted postilion, and drag ing the wheels of the phaeton also over him. Th e E ar l of Erroll immediately jumped out from the off-side of tlse open clarriav, over the door, and providentially res cued the two ladies without their sustainin arm • 10 - ur beyond some very trifling brnises. — 7 — , ..-' ~,- -- , , i Cannon, the other postilion, seeing th e dangerous po sition the party were in, jumped off his horse and ran to the heads of the leaders, followed by Prince Albert, Lord Alfred Paget, and the other male attendants upon the Queen, but not in sufficient time to prevent the restive leader from darting into the lake, which at this spbet is upwards of 14 feet deep.. By great exertions, in which the Prince greatly dis tinguished himself, the other three ponies, by skilfully cutting the traces, were prevented from being dragged into the lake, and the carriage with them ; and after some time the restive leader, which had several times sunk under the water, was got ashore. His Royal Highness, during the whole of this time, rendered great assistance, " working," as was observed by a bystander, ." like a Briton." Her Majesty, upon witnessing the accident, immediately descended from her carriage, in a state of the greatest alarm for the safety of those who were so fortunately rescued from their perilous situation in the phaeton. Her Majesty's next care was to inquire most kindly as to the state of Rann, the postilion ; who had been stunned, and was lying on the ground insensible. The Queen then commanded one of the outriders to proceed with all possible despatch to Windsor for Mr. Brown, the surgeon to the Royal household, who in less than three quarters of an hour after the accident arrived with his assistant (Mr. Andrews) at Flying Barn, near the lake, where the poor fellow had been taken in the mean time, accompa nied by the Prince and his attendants. His Royal High ness, before the arrival of the surgeon, assisted in undres sing the postilion and relieving his sufferings. He was then bled by Mr. Brown, and in the course of the even ing removed in a fly to his apartment in the Royal mews at Windsor, where he is now confined to his bed, but out of danger. Her Majesty and the. Prince sent to inquire after him last night, and again this morning. Her Majesty and the Prince were delayed returning to the Castle last evening until a short time previous to the hour for dinner. Had it not been for the presenee of mind of the Earl of Erroll and the other postilion, and the timely as sistance rendered by Prince Albert, and those in the suite of her Majesty, the carriage, with the two ladies, must have been dragged into the lake, when most pro bably loss of life would have been the result.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM FMK MORNING PAPIRS OF THIN DAY. ' CHRONICLE.—It has been said that the Tories will discuss nothing till February. It might be very conve nient to Sir Robert Peel to have no discussion till Febru ary, but we do not see how a discussion can possibly be avoided. Why was the late Parliament dissolved ? That the sense of the nation might be taken on the Budget. And how are we to ascertain the sense of the nation ? Clearly in Parliament alone. It is not a majo rity on this or that which will do—it must be a majority on the question which led - to the dissolution.— Lord John Russell, in his address to the elector; of London, declared, " a; soon as the new Parlia ment meets, we shall take the first opportunity of asking for a clear and decided judgment upon the policy we have pursued." If Minister; have _come to this determination, it is not in the power of the Tories to avoid a disciissim. They may, indeed, avoid a dis cussion till February, by postponing their intention to attempt to obtain the Government till February; but in no other conceivable way. No—a discussion there must be, and a division, and the names of those who decide for or against the Ministerial measures must be placed before the country. The majority of Sir Robert Peel against the Ministerial measures will be a memorable majority. The country will have an eye on every man of them. Between this time and February many thousands will have fallen victims to the privations im posed by the corn monopoly on the industrious classes of this.country. ,We are about to realize a sad expe rience of the working of that law. With the certainty of a late harvest and exhausted stocks, and the prospect of a deficient crop, the working of the Corn-law prevents our obtaining e - tipplies. The -sto.r!ing -- manufacturers. thrown - out 'of aIV ergplyeaeut; or onlfpartially employed, know what that means. But it will be consolatory to know the names of those to whom they are indebted for PARISH of ST.

The situation is central and convenient, with every comfort and accommodation. Excellent show-rooms. Omnibuses every hour to the Railway Station. Good stabling close at hand. the continuance of this policy. POST.—Nothing is so likely to promote the worth and dignity of this nation, and very greatly to further and increase even the temporal happiness of all classes of the people, as a restoration of the influence of the Church of England. The people require a- more inti mate and more affectionate paternal care than (except in some few favoured spots) they have over them at pre sent, and we see nothing so likely to afford this as the Church. The people are greatly in want of duly quali fied persons to guide and comfort them, and we see no mode of providing this guidance and comforting which can be reasonably considered so safe, so just, and withal so practicable, as a restoration of Church influence, in order that every man may have, what the inhabitants of some small country parishes have already, a sober, dis creet, well-educated, religious friend, to rejoice with him when be rejoices, mourn with him when he mourns, strengthen him in the hour of his distress, teach him pru• donee in the time of his prosperity, and, above all, keep him ever affectionately in mind of the last great account. Not only is something of this sort desirable as an im provement, but the want of it makes our present state of society absolutely dangerous, and awful to contemplate. HERALD.— The Ministerial press, not content with inciting popular discontent during six days of the week, devotes the Sabbath also to the propagation of palliatives for public disorders. The " Queen's own" journal of yesterday is a perfect hand-book of rebellion. It is re gardless of what may be the policy of the Conservatives when in power ; their conduct in opposition has already ruined the kingdom. " The country is perishing." " The foreign demand has fallen off almost to nothing," —the causes we have lately shown. " The rejection of the Ministerial measures have cut off all chance of the revival in the foreign trade." " The last chance was that an abundant harvest would create a good home trade. The chance is at an end." • " The only measures which could restore prosperity have been lost. The only alternative by which the de ficiency of the revenue could be made good without new taxes, has been rejected. The only Ministry which could govern Ireland, without throwing itself into the arms of the Orange faction has been driven from office. The first step of the new Government must be to increase the army in Ireland ; the second to impose new taxes to pay for it. Already the Tory press are demanding laws and troops to let loose upon surpliced ruffians,' and the seven millions of Irish savagery.' Already the Tory conclaves are deep in calculations as to the additional revenue to be derived from repealing the greatest boon _ ever given to the civilisation and social intercourse of a country—the penny postage." To offer any denial to or detailed refutation of this farrago of lies and nonsense, would be to insult the cause of Conservatism. It is noticed only to show the despe rate efforts " the brutal, base, and bloody" will have re course to for the preservation of place and pelf. For a continuance of power they awe .ready to convulse the country—they are prepared to risk rebellion. Th.y,_ on a former occasion, encouraged revolt in one colony, and have lately proposed to ruin the most ancient of ow de pendencies that they might not be ejected from Down ing -street; but their crowning triumph of evil is to be reserved for instigation to domestic broils and internal commotions. Their evening organ, the Globe, a few days ago, held up the insurrectionary movements at Tou louse as worthy of the imitation of Englishmen at the pre sent juncture. Their morning agitator, the Chronicle, daily serves up the most elaborate incitements to the use of physical-force arguments in favour of " free trade" and " cheap bread." TIMES.—It is no longer kept a secret that the Royal speech on the opening of the new Parliament is to raise the subject of the Budget. We had heard this confi dently asserted almost a fortnight ago, but we were un willing to believe, ill as we think of the yet lingering Ministry, that they were prepared to commit such an in decency as this. We could not persuade ourselves that, under all the circumstances of the time, and with a proved impossibility of adding, by this new crime, a single hour to their tenor of office, they would go the length of committing their Royal Mistress to a string of recommen dations to which they positively know that Par liament must needs return a firm, however respectful, refusal. If chore be one constitutional principle which, more than all others, is important to the well-being of a monarchy, it is, that the wishes of the Sovereign shall never be made to appear in conflict with the wishes of the people. For this reason it has been usual with former Administrations, when they have found, from plain, though not perhaps actually direct indications, that the confidence of the country was withheld or withdrawn from them, to resign their offices, and so give their Sovereign the grace of the earliest possible compliance with public opinion. This was not the course which it seemed good to the Whig Ministry to adopt. After a decision of their own Rouse of Commons against'them, they held on, pretend ing to believe that the people, on appeal, would reverse the sentence. The appeal was made, and the sentence, emphatically confirmed. Upon this, full many a sim ple-minded man imagined that they would forthwith re sign. We knew better. We knew that they had insti tuted their appeal, not with any real hope of reversal, but for delay. Thus it was clear that they would keep possession until judgment could be actually entered up, and execution issued against them. So far we were not at all surprised at their waiting till the assemblage of the new Parliament, for we have always done them justice about their consistency in the matter of ad hesion ; and, in common with our old friend Lance, we " would have one that takes upon him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, a dog at all things." But what they are now about to do is, we own, a proceeding that astounds us. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMB RIDGE, AUG. 14.—0 n Saturday the 7th inst.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PIPERS OF THIS D.Y. POST.—Letters from Liverpool notice the failure of a considerable mercantile house in that town. Its transac tions are understood to have been principally in the cotton trade. The liabilities are not accurately known, but 50,000/. is the amount talked of. With us commercial affairs are mending. In most branches of the import trade an improvement is experienced.' Our Madrid correspondent briefly alludes, in a letter inserted this day, to the claims of the Spanish Treasury bondholders. lie touches upon the subject in a manner from which it would appear that he has had recourse to local sources of information alone. The decrees pro mulgated with so much formality in London, relative to the issue of the Treasury paper, convey impressions that are perfectly conclusive and irresistible. They ad mit of no second interpretation, and the sooner, there fore, Senor Bull and the London embassy prepare them selves to act upon their very stringe n tly- wor d e d pro visions the better. The Treasury bonds are Spanish Exchequer Bills lying over for five years dishonoured, and nothing else. They present a monument of the mak fides of the Spanish nation at which the dipl oma ti c re presentatives of various States in this capital express the utmost amazement ; for, as the civil war has now been long at an end, and as confiscation is at length hinted at, instead of honourable payment, the case of the holders is more widely discussed in the leading political circles than it had been. They now reasonably look for their due. The Ambassadors of every country are cog nisant of the general indifference of the Spanish authori ties to their financial engagements, but when the Trea sury Bond rig comes to be expla ined to them in all its treacherous and heartless depravity, their disgust is equally irrepressible and unbounded. Let Mr. R u ll on ly put it to himself, how indignant Ministers of the high honour of Prince Esterhazy, the Baron Billow, and other dignified official personages at her Majesty's Court must feel to be mixed up in any way with the Envoys of the Peninsular Governments — a class of men sent over to this great commercial metropolis for no other purpose apparently than that of co-operating in the nefarious schemes of agents, contractors, and their subordinate scouts and tricksters planted about the purlieus of Chapel- and foreign, as in a great degree to counterbalance the prejudicial consequences of corn payments in bullion. The amount of bullion that may be required for such payments, will be found doubtlessly grossly exagge rated, in the same manner as those of late years have been. It may be remarked, without at present en larging upon the subject more, that the former pressure upon the Bank of England for gold for export was not only not solely referable to the drain caused by corn im ports, but was at least in equal proportion caused by a simultaneous drain arising from other and very different causes. This supplementary operation of another cause has been alluded to on former occasions, and may form a subject for remark hereafter. THE WOOD PAVEMENT IN OXFORD-STREET. On Saturday the Mtrylebone Vestry had another meeting on the question of extending tho wood pave ment in Oxford-street. Mr. Gomme in the Chair. At the last meeting of the Vestry the Board passed a resolution to the effect that they were ready to receive tenders from any parties to pave that part of Oxford street which runs between Well-street and Vere-street, with wood, but on the minutes being read over on Saturday, the motion appeared to be set forth as though the Board were prepared to enter into a contract, for the purpose expressed, with the Metropolitan Wood Paving Company. After a prolonged and a very animated discussion it was eventually agreed to take the sense of the Vestry as to whether the Chairman should correct the minute. The proposition was carried by a majority of 29 to 27. The correction having been made, Mr. CLAPP then rose to oppose the confirmation of this resolution, because- his objection to- the substitution of wood for stone had , not been removed. He ob jected to wood pavement on the ground of its slip periness and the absence of sufficient evidence as to the durability of the material itself. He Would con clude, therefore, by moving " That this minute be not confirmed." Mr. I-annul.; in seconding this motion, observed, that if this pavement had answered so well at White hall, as had been stated, how came it that the (join-, missioners of Woods and Forests had not ordered that it should be carried all the way down to the House of Commons ?—(A cry, "It is going to be done.") He had made inquiries on the subject, but had not found that such was the fact. It had been stated that the cause of the slipperiness of the wood pavement was that the. dirt was brought off the other description of pavement on to it. Well, if that were so, would they allow him to ask in how much better state would that pavement be supposing even the whole of the street were paved with it . from one end to the other, so long as the numerous streets which led into it were not also laid down with wood ? • Why, the cause of complaint would re main as strong as ever. He trusted the Board would. not be drawn into the adoption of the wood pavement. He was quite satisfied in his own mind that ultimately they should be compelled to return to the old plan of granite paving.—(Loud cries of " No, no.") He said " yes." They might lay down granite for 20,0001., and, at the expiration of ten years, if that pavement were to be pulled up, it would be worth 10,0001. to break up fur macadamizing. But let him ask what would be the value of the wood at that period ? Nothing at all. He con tended that the Board had no right to embark in this expense. What had been thecase in the instance of the macadamizing ? The surveyor had told them that if that plan were to be adopted it would not cost the parish more than about 500/. a-year to maintain and keep it in proper repair ; but they had found that that expense had amounted to between six and seven thousand pounds yearly. If the cost had been so much in that case, what. might they not expect from the adoption of wood ? The Rev. Dr. Munn/ looked upon this as a most im portant question—a question which ought not to be set tled by any party prejudices. The simple point to be considered was whether the adoption of wood pavement was a public benefit or not. Now they had heard from the great body of gentlemen who might be regarded as the persons who were the most deeply interested in the matter, and who, allow him to say, were,, in his opinion; the best and the most competent judges on the point, he meant the inhabitants of Oxford-street, that not only had this experiment answered all their expectations, but they had derived great advantage and comfort from it, —(Hear, hear.) The specimen which had been laid down in that street consisted of no fewer than 151,000, blocks ; and after they had stood the pressure of the human foot, the trampling of the horses, and the whirling of the wheels of vehicles of every description for something like a year and a half, there had been scarcely a block that had given any token of damage.— (Hear, hear.) A friend of his had ordered a new car. riage, which he said would last him at least seven years, and not about three years as heretofore, in consequence of the adoption of the wood, or as he termed it the " velvet" pavement in the metropolis. As far as his own private opinion went, he was bound to say that he did not remember any one thing which had been adopted in this great metropolis so well calculated or so likely to confer a most general and important advantage, whether it had reference to the comfo:t or benefit of thepublic, as the introduction of the wooden pavement.—(Hoar.) Mr. SODEN was satisfied there would be a large saving to the public by the adoption of this pavement in Ox ford-street. With regard to the trial, the Committee had themselves in the first instance settled the period at twelve months. That trial they had had, and now they had come forward and asked for an extension of that time. But there was no guarantee that even at the end of that extended trial they would be satisfied. He trusted the minute would be confirmed. , Mr. SKINNER would support the motion for non-con firmation. Mr. THO3IAB begged to say, that in reality he should be no opponent to wood pavement, so soon as it had been proved that the material had sufficient durability, and was not dangerous to pass over. He wanted that they should have a longer trial of its merits, and he un derstood that the Metropolitan Wood Company would raise no objection to such a proposition upon being paid for the extended experiment.—(Hear, hear.) If the Board were to entertain that question then, much of their time would be spared. Mr. COCHRANE could not be surprised at the alarm. which had been expressed by Mr. Skinner lest this mi-, nute should be confirmed, seeing that he had been the. Chairman of the Committee who had brought up a Be- port wherein they had stated that the specimen of wood pavement in question had been repaired, when, in point of fact, no repairs had been done to it.—(Hear, hear.) He sincerely hoped the minute would be confirmed. . Mr. JONES opposed the confirmation. Mr. FOSTER also objected to the confirmation, because they had not had sufficient experience of the durability. of wood as a pavement. Mr. GIBSON would oppose the motion for the non confirmation of this minute. On the score of expense,. the poor-rate payer would benefit very considerably by the adoption of the wooden pavement. There would be an annual saving of at least 2,0001. With regard to the. resolution which had been carried at their last meeting, that only went to the recognition of the principle of wood pavements, leaving it open to make contracts at any subsequent time with any parties or company. Mr. BUSHELL would vote for non-confirming the minute. Mr. BIERS contended that wood, as a lasting mate-. rial, from all his experience, was a failure. If the advo-, cates of.the plan were so confident of its durability, why . , did they object to a longer trial? Let there be a fair and reasonable trial, and if it stood the test he would be one of the first to support its adoption. Mr. FREEMAN was strongly in favour of wood pave ment, and would oppose the motion made by Mr. Clapp., Mr. JOSEVHS was not sorry at these attempts at delay, because .the greater the delay the stronger would be the evidence in favour of the plan, inasmuch as the speci men of . the,. Metropolitan Wood Paving Company, was, day after day falsifying the statements which were being made against its success.—(Hear, hear.) • The Vestry divided, when the numbers were—FOr the non-confinnation, 30 ; against that motion, 22 ; ma jority, 8. The minute was therefore not confirmed.—Adjourned. court. The assertion that the Treasury Bond affair of 1836-7 was a blunder of M. Mendi . zabal i s con t em ptibl e . It is indeed, in our humble estimation, only making a bad thing worse. There was no blunder in the matt e r. lIERALD.—It may be noticed here that generally a considerable improvement has been visible in commercial affairs this week in the city, and more business done than for a considerable time past. A tol era bl y l arge b us i ness ha s been doing in various staple articles, especially in oils and tobacco, of which the stocks have been materially lightened, with an accompanyin g amendment in prices. if There is reason t o ho p e that, the harvest be so insuf ficiently productive as Jo requir e more extensive imports of foreign corn than is anticipated even by those specu lating to some extent upon a presumed dAciency, there will be such a general amelioration in trade, both home SI-AIN AND THE POPE. The following is the manifesto published by the Spa nish Government in answer to the allocution of his Ho liness, which has appeared in our columns : " The Christian world will with as much surprise as regret have received the allocution of his Holiness, which, delivered in a secret Consistory, was immediately published throughout both Spain and Europe. In form this document is expressive of the deepest affliction and grief—in reality it is a violent invective, bitterly accusing the Government and Spanish nation of being the perse cutors of the Church. Their faith is doubted, and they are menaced with exclusion from the pale of Christianity unless they return to themselves, so that a seven years' war, brought on and protracted by the ambition of reigning, - was not a sufficient ill to the coun try, but . that, having been terminated by ' the generosity of two parties in Spain, the common Father of the Faithful must cast on their half-extinguished flame—a new brand—to excite the Christian world to spill oceans of blood, and to convert the civil war into one of religion. Now, in these times of odious memory, when a menace from the Vatican would suffice to shake the earth, and agitate the cations of it, doubtless their motive is very hostile ; but it shall also be in like man ner. opposed, On this, as on many other occasions, Spaniards will discern what they owe to their faith, and what to their independence and surety ; what to the real interests of the Church of Jesus Christ ; and what the unjust and ever-encroaching pretensions of the Church of Rome. The Government of her Majesty will not descend to controversy ; will not enter into the laby rinth of subtleties and subterfuges, which is the refuge for every contested point, and every new question, and to support which a new maxim, or a principle, is aJduced, a new example or an old one produced for imi-. tation. No, such a step were unworthy a great, a noble people, the Spanish Government will come to the point direct and resolutely. Exposing concisely and candidly the events that have taken place since the death of Fer dinand the Seventh, Government will show to Spain and Europe on which side they may seek moderation, inge nuousness—on which obstinacy and absence of reason— so that no surprise will be possible at the jtist and vigo rous part the Government will take for the defence of the great interests confided to its vigilance and zeal. Scarcely was the monarch dead, than his Holiness gave himself up to expressions of the deepest grief, and offered to address to the Most High fervent pray ers for the preservation of the kingdom from every dis aster, the kingdom which he styled the orphan of her father. This had been a noble and pious wish, if unaccompanied by . doubt on the part of the Sovereign Pontiff as to the legitimacy of the succession of our be loved Queen to the inheritance of her Sire. To this doubt was subsequently added his refusal to recognise her until the Holy Father had agreed with the other Powers, and also new complaints respecting the abuse to which certain journals gave themselves up against the ecclesiastics. Thus did his Holiness himself commence the disaster he pretended to fear, framing all the time new excuses in anticipation of new insults. " To dispel these doubts, the Pragmatic Sanction of the 31st of March, 1830, was invoked, comprising the in tentions of Ferdinand, and the evils of all classes of the State was communicated to him, they tak ing the oath of allegiance to the King's heiress, the Princess Isabella, recognised and obeyed as Queen of the Spanish nation. But the Holy Father recognised in the Pragmatic Sanction, only an important do cument, worthy of examination when the question should be definitively on the eve of settlement—the weaknhss in Spain of the party of Don Carlos was represented to him —the small number of troops by which he was followed, that he was countenanced scarcely by one province or by one capital—by one fortress. Yet his Holiness expressed doubts, and inclined to a belief in the papers he received. " The question was insisted on ; the little show of reason there was to deny to the young Queen in whose favour so many rights militated, what was granted to Don Miguel in Portugal, although a usurper and noto rious perjurer. His Holiness answered, that the recog nition of Don Miguel took place only subsequently to a two years' peaceable possession, and on the express condition that although an existing sovereignty was recognised, it was without detriment to the claims of the Pretender. The Spanish Government, never theless, answered the complaints of the ecclesiastics by suppressing the offensive articles and punishing the writers, although it acknowledged the impossibility of gagging calumny whilst matter for censure was given. And when so many of both the secular and the regular ecclesiastics, not only were led away by the bad example excited in others, but also themselves became the movers and promoters of sedition, commanding the rebels, directing the pillage of the localities, carrying destruction and murder amongst peaceful habitations —when the religious houses were transformed into clubs of conspirators— when the churches were turned into depots for_ammunition and poWder-- - -it was not easy to conceal such scandalous outrages from the public, nor to suppress in the public papers the indignation of parties, nor the malice of those who furnished the intelligence. The whole of these proceedings were officially consigned to the documents to which his Holiness referred, and it was indeed extraordinary that. the calumny should be so se verely reproved, and nothing done to suppress the infamy whence it sprung, and which cherished it still. The ministers of God and Peace, transformed into ministers of discord and desolation, could but bring upon theta selves the execrations of the public, and it was not to be expected that on presenting themselves before the people still covered with blood and crimes, they could command that respect which is due only to sanctity of conduct. Such excesses might have been in their origin repressed by the Prelates ; but these rendered doubtful and unde cided by the silence of his Holiness, durst not hazard their intervention for the repression of such scandalous excesses, and this apparent indifference augmented the disorders, so that if the dangers of religion and the in consistencies of her ministers had again increased, the blame must in justice have been cast upon the conduct of so many of her unworthy mem bers, and attributed to the silence of their head pastors. Such" rave considerations, such serious consequences, which should never be considered irreli gious or revolutionary, found no response in the bosom of his Holiness, who was, notwithstanding, prompt to com plain of the summary and continual executions of the condemned ecclesiastics, as if, arrested arms in hand, they merited some better fate, or more respect than any other rebels. Thus passed away the time in useless ne gotiations, without any advancement of the question, which, however, was terminated by the categorical reply made to our Ambassador at Rome by the instructions forwarded to Cardinal Tiberi, Nuncio to his Holiness at 'this Court, and to the Archbishop of Nice, appointed his successor, but which instructions the latter never received, the whole expressing his Holiness's refusal to acknowledge Queen Isabella until her allies had done the same. There still remained the entire ecclesiastical question, which neither the Court of Rome nor that of Madrid could so easily cut short. Several of the churches of the State hav ing no bishops, her Majesty's Government lost no timein presenting. to his Holiness the sage and virtuous ecclesi astics it deemed worthy the honour of episcopacy. In such cases it is usual not to postpone the confirmation of such appointments, nor the exposition of the bulls, in order that the -fold of Jesus Christ be not too long deprived of its pastors ; far from this, the Holy See, from year to year, obstinately refused to fulfil this im portant duty ; sometimes by the help of theological subtleties, sometimes from interested motives, under the cloak of benevolent concessions. The first difficulty arose on the form of presentation without prejudice to the Dynasty question, the fate of which was left to the fortune of war in the Peninsula ; in vain did the Go vernment, then faithful to the principle of condescen- . sion it had original:oT adopted, propose divers forms, in which, omitting the candidate's name, the difficulties were surmounted, and the temporal interests of the Holy 'Father gdaranteed. The Court of Rome rejected all, now under one pretext, now under another, but at length proposed a medium apparently to it the best suited to circumstances. It consented to omit in 'the bulls, every presentation on the plea that his .Holi ness acquiesced, of his own accord, and in virtue of his Apostolic faith.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. PATRIOTIC SACRIFICES. " Now comes in the sweetest morsel of the night, and we must hence and leave it unpick't," growls Falstaff when he is told, " As I came along, I met and overtook a dozen captains, Bareheaded, sweating, knocking at the taverns, And asking every one for Sir John Falstaff." The mandates of the Ministerial and Opposition leaders in the House of Commons, to appear at St. Stephen's on the 19th instant, must have encountered on the part of sporting Members of Parliament a similar spirit of mutinous obedience.

Most likely my rascally gamekeeper has sent them here as a private speculation of his own.' The crack shots of the Conservative side have some com pensation in the prospect of victory, but it is hard upon the Whigs to leave their sport for assured defeat. It would nothing surprise us to learn that the attractions of the Moors have diminished the Ministerial minority by some dozen votes. To strut in the circles of London as M.P. during " the season," requires no great stretch of patriotic devotion ; but to leave grouse and partridges " a-Parliaraenting," is equal to dying for one s country. Slanderous persons have sometimes hinted that great landowners have been found more chary of their game than their principles. Our noble game-preservers in the vicinity of London have a splendid opportunity of clear ing themselves from the scandal. Let them throw open their preserves to all Members of Parliament whom the untimely Session detains from their own more distant manors. Virtue is its own reward ; and as the harvest is likely to be late, what they lose in game they may gain in the rise of the price of corn from the trampling down of unreaped crops.—Spectator. As usual at this period of the year numerous bodies of Irish pea4ants have arrived in this neighbour hood to assist in the labours of the harvest. Owing, however, to the very backward state of the crops, and the smallness of them, very few of these men can find employment, and there arc now, we regret to say, above 60 of them in our union workhouse. — -Cambric* Ad vertiser.
