What a change of sentiment and feeling of heart wouldspring up and rise in the bosom of every oppressed and heavy laden man existing under the laws of England, 'were it seen that Ministers watched closely the gates of our revenue or public purse, and never suffered an inroad of cor u'Ptien And abuse—a single draw of cash that is n ot fairl y won, P l 4 justly due How plain, how simple, how easy, how bright, the rule that ought to be laid down and worked upon !

I will now add the tax upon windows, which is impolitic, hard, and severe, and presses unfairly, and ought to be repealed. These are all virtually a tax upon property, which, if neces sary, saddle upon the right horse properly, under the head or name of "Property-tax." January, 31, 1849. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice COLIIRIDGE and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) RAPE.—John Wiseman, a tailor, aged 28, was indicted for commit ting a rape on the person of Jemima Bate, a young girl aged 15. The particulars of the case are unfit for publication. It valid seem from the evidence that the offence was attended with gr( at violence; but the prisoner protested that the girl consented to his overtures. The jury, after a lengthened inquiry, wished to convict the 1 ri soner of a common assault only ; but Mr. Justice COLERIDGE told them that they must either find him guilty of the capital offence or acquit him. The jury Acquitted him. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Henry Albert, 30, a porter, and Henry Iloicard, also 30, and a porter, were indicted for stealing 185 yards of carpeting, valued at 20/., the property of Messrs. Wood and Co., wholesale carpet dealers, in Watling-street. Some moths ago the prosecutors were robbed to a serious extent by one of the parties in their employ, which led to inquiries being set on foot to ascertain how the stolen property had been disposed of, and in the course of that investigation the carpet in question was traced to the shop of Mr. Shaw, a re spectable carpet seller, carrying on business in Bishopsgate street Without, who stated that he had purchased it from a Jew dealer named Jules Jacobs, for Is. 6d. a yard, who in his turn had bought it from another dealer whom the prisoner Howard had em ployed to dispose of it. Upon Howard being taken into custody, he protested that he was innocent of the robbery, declaring that he had received the carpet from Albert, the other prisoner, who had pre viously filled the situation of porter to the prosecutors, and that statement, coupled with the fact that Albert had called upon ~llyarn, the party engaged by Howard to dispose of the stolen property, to know if Howard had been paid the proceeds of the sale, led to his being arrested, and charged as the principal in the transaction. The jury convicted Albert of stealing and Howard of receiving tho property, knowing it to be stolen. Mr. BALLANTINE, who appeared for the prosecution, intimated that an investigation was going on in a police-court that was likely to implicate the prisoner Albert in a similar robbery; and, under those circumstances, . The COUAT deferred passing sentence on both prisoners. CALITORNIA.—Extract of a letter from an officer to his agent in London:--"H.M.S. Herald, Mazatlan, 27th Nov., 1848.—Nothing is talked of here but the extraordinary gold mines discovered by the Americans in Upper California. The quantity of gold fcund is unprecedented in the annals of history. Millions on millions of dollars' worth of gold are now arriving here from St. Francisco. I have seen a large quantity of it; it is found in a very pure state. One lump I saw weighed 251bs. 3oz. The quantity found is so great as to cause the idea of a depreciation in the value of the precious metal." IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) H OUSE OF LORDS. (Continued from our Third Edition.) Their Lordships re-assembled at Five o'clock. SELECT VESTRIES BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE introduced the Select Vestries Bill, which was read a first time. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. The LORD CHANCELLOR then read her Majesty's Speech. THE Btil ", 2 LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, VIIIITLITARY 1 9 NW. ADDRESS. Earl BRUCE then rose to move the Address in answer to her Majesty's most gracious Speech from the throne. He requested the indulgence of their Lorcships in moving the Address in answer to her Majesty's most gracious Speech, as he had never betbre had the honour of addressing their Lordships. He would willingly have ab stained from making any observations had he not considered that such a course would be dis respectful to their Lordships. Her Majesty had been gra • ciously pleased to inform them that negotiations were ex isting with the Northern and Southern States of Europe, which were in a state of war. With regard to Sicily, this country must always feel a great interest in the well-being of that Island, and hewas rejoiced to hear that the French and English Admirals had interfered to prevent the perpetration of atrocities in that Island which were horrifying even to those Admirals who had been used to the horrors of warfare. Negotiations were now in progress for the pacifi cation of that island, and he trusted that no observations would be made on that subject which might have the effect of interrupting the course of those negotiations. He rejoiced to find that the estimates would be reduced. Whilst in every country of the continent they found the expenses were increasing and the revenue diminish ing, in this country they found that while the revenue was increasing they were about to decrease their expen diture. Nevertheless, it was necessary that no reduction should be proposed which would reduce the effective force of defence of the country, and he was satisfied that the Govern ment would propose no such reduction. Our army for the most part was employed in the protection of our colonial empire, and it was impossible to propose any great reduc tion in an army employed to protect colonies situated eight thousand miles from the mother country, so long as we maintained our colonies no great reduction could take place in our army expenditure; and he trusted that whatever reduction might take place in the army, none would take place in the artillery of this country. He thought, however, that no op portunity. should be lost in making every reduction possible in the army ; and he was rejoiced to perceive a desire, in a neighbouring country, to make a reduction in the number of their troops. Twelve months since the state of trade was deplorable. A rapid improvement had recently taken place and that improvement would have been still more rapid had it not been for the state of affairs on the Con tinent and in Ireland. The revenue had increased during the last year to the extent of 722,000/, and he believed there was every prospect that such improve• ment would go on rapidly increasing. He was happy to say that the allusion to Ireland in the Speech from the Throne had not been of so unsatisfactory . a nature as it had been on a former occasion. Last year a rebellion had been ap prehended. That rebellion had now been crushed. Thanks to the extraordinary powers which had been granted to the Lord-Lieutenant, and to the energy, discretion, and firmness with which the Lord-Lieutenant had exercised those powers.—(Cheers.) Her Majesty's Government had wished for a continuance of those powers, and he humbly submitted that as those powers had been found sufficient to put down rebellion, they would be continued to enable the Lord- Lieutenant to preserve the peace and tranquillity of Ireland. Those well disposed persons who were desirous of im proving the :condition of Ireland had no opportunity of doing so unless peace and tranquillity were established in that country, and if the Noble Lord at the head of the Government of Ireland deemed the continuance of those powers necessary to secure the tranquillity of that country, he trusted that their Lordships would not he sitate to endow his Lordship with those powers which had been already so beneficially exercised. He could not but speak with the utmost regret of those pub lic men of which this country has only just been deprived. Of one of those he would speak with the greatest respect, who had, in the providence of God, been removed from among them, one whose appearance was at all times heartily wel comed by this House, and whose departure was a severe loss to the country. Nor could he refrain from alluding to another gentleman, who was also a distinguished Member of the Legislature, though he belonged to the other House of Parliament, and whose untimely death all would lament. — (Hear, hear.) He could not, however, while passing from this painful topic, help congratulating their Lord ships on the blessings which they enjoyed under the:ex istence of a contitutional monarchy, blessings which have been rendered apparent in the promotion of the general welfare of the community, the loyalty of the people, and the honour of the Sovereign.—(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord concluded by reading a copy of the Address, which was, as usual, a repetition, in other terms, of the Speech. Lord BATEMAN seconded the Address. _ . _ Lora BROUGHAM, in risin g to address their Lordships regretted that the assent which he was desirous of giving to the terms of the Speech from the Throne, and the senti ments which had fallen from his Noble Friend in moving the Addresa in reply to the Speech, was not altogether so unquailified as he could wish. He greatly feared that, in the fair representation of manufacturing and commercial prosperity of the country, his Noble Friends in the Govern ment and the equally Noble supporters had made some slight mistake in the assumption of again of 800,0004 at the p»- sent moment in the revenue, and in expressing an opinion that the revenue would progress in amount for some time in the future. He applauded all the measures which his Noble Friends on the other side of the House had tsken, but he feared that the fairy aspect of things would lose something of its beauty, when he reminded their Lordships, that this gain of 800,000/. would absolutely cease this very day, for it so happened that this same 800,0001. was last year received for the duties on corn, which duties had now altogether been virtually done away. And while alluding to this measure of free trade, he as an humble but zealous friend of that much-abused principle of free trade, :a principle to which he was so addicted, that he had most reluctantly given his adhesion to the unconstitutional, and he might say, almost unlawful means by which it was carried into effect. [LEYT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS. The House resumed at a Quarter to Four o'clock. The SPEAKER informed the House that during tit(, recess he had issued writs for the election of Members for King's Lynn, in the room of Lord George Bentinck, deceased ; for the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the room of Lord M erpeth, who had succeeded to the Earldom of Carlisle ; for LI skeard, in the room of Mr. Buller, deceased ; and for Truro, in the room of Mr. Turner, deceased.

ECCLESIAS I ICAL AFFAIRS—THE RECTORY OF BISHOPSWEARMOUTH. Mr. HORSMAN gave notice that he should to-morrow ask the Noble Lord at the bead of the Government two questions upon ecclesiastical affairs—first, whether it was proposed to fill up the appointment to the rectory of Bishopswearmouth ; and how it was intended to distribute the: surplus funds. Secondly, what were the nature of the measures which the Government intended to introduce with a view to ecclesiastical reform, and when the Noble Lord at the head of the Government would be prepared to bring them forward ? QUEEN'S SPEECH.-THE ADDRESS. The SPEAKER intimated that he had been summoned to the House of Lords to hear her Majesty's Speech from the Throne. (The Right Hon. Gentleman then read the Speech, which will be found in another part of our paper.) Lord HARRY 'VANE, in rising to move that an Address should be presented to her Majesty, in answer to that most gracious Speech, said he was unable to avail himself of the plea so often set up by those standing in the position in which he now stood, that he had recently become a Member of that House, and was entitled to solicit their indulgence. But if he was unable to urge that plea, he trusted that in dulgence might be accorded to him in consideration of the remarkable incidents which had marked the annals of the year gone by, and of the impending uncertainty which still hung over the face of Europe, as well as in consideration of the important nature of the domestic policy which would be brought under the attention of the Legislature. The para graphs of her Majesty's Speech to which he would in the first instance advert, and to which he begged to request the attention of the House, were those which related to the foreign relations of this country. It was a subject of congratulation to all, considering the marvellous incidents which crowded in such rapid succession in the space of the year just gone by, to see that the forbearance, the prudence, and the deep sense of responsibility—perhaps he might say the mutual apprehension of those at the head of the administration of affairs in Europe—had induced them to use their best efforts to preserve Europe from any further calamity, in addition to those disastrous events which had occurred.—(Hear, hear.) There were events to which he wished now to allude, but he was not about to enter into any historical dissertation as to the cause of these events. He alluded to the war of Ger m any against Denmark, on the Schleswig-Holstein question, and to the invasion of Lombardy by Sardinia. He was not about either to censure or condemn these two acts, and his only motive for alluding to them was to direct the attention of the House to the particular relations which this country held in regard to those two countries. The policy which had been pursued by Government in reference to these two affairs was highly commendable, for in both instances Government had manifested a desire to arrest the progress of war. It had been their endeavour to allay political heat and dissension. It had been their endeavour, more especially in the case cf Schleswig-Holstein, to stop the shedding of blood, and in each of these cases the Government had happily been enabled to bring about the suspension of arms. Their object had been throughout to mediate on such a basis as to prevent the con tinuance of war. There was another case of the suspension of arms of a different character to those which he had just referred to. He alluded to the affairs of Sicily. In that case also a suspension of arms had been concluded, but the cha racter of this case was somewhat different to the former. In this instance the British and French Admirals, acting under the influence of humane motives, namely, a desire to prevent the shedding of blood, had interfered, and by their good offices had brought about the conclusion of an armistice between the two powers of Naples and Sicily. That armistice having been accepted, ne gotiations were at the present moment pending which might have the effect of conciliating the two kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. In other respects the foreign policy of Government bad happily enabled the country to remain a passive specta tor of passing events; that position had enabled the country in this extraordinasy year, when men en tertaining different views had alternately held the high offices of State and been driven from them to afford its support and refuge to many deserving individuals who had been driven from their homes by political dissen tions.—(Hear.) It was a satisfaction to him to be enabled to say that there never was a period when less hostilities were offered to the country than there were at the present moment.—(Hear, hear.) There never was a period when there was less chance of war or less likeli hood of political embroilment on the part of this country than at the present time. In the midst of un paralleled conflicts on the continent the institutions of this country bad stood the test of trial, and whilst in every country from the confines of Russia to the Appenines had been distracted with political dissensions, this country had remained unchanged and unshaken. It could not be said that the peace of the community had ever been disturbed, for these irruptions of the Chartists had rather strengthened than shaken the spirit of loyalty which prevailed amongst the people.—(Cheers.) The movements of the Chartists had not disturbed the peace in the least, but they had rather had the bene ficial effect of eliciting an expression of intelligent but not servile attachment to the institutions of the country on the part of the great body of the people.—(Hear.) They had the misfortune, too, in the autumn of 1848, to have a very indifferent harvest. It varied, indeed, in various parts of the couutry, and in the eastern and western counties there was both a deficient harvest, and one very ill got in ; and notwithstanding that complication of misfortunes—he spoke then much rather of England than Ireland—towards the close of 1848 our finances did recover, and our trade had been recovering, slowly it might be. but more rapidly since. He was not unaware that great depression existed among the agriculturists; he was perfectly well aware they had suffered much, but that suffering seemed to him incidental to the very great change that had taken place in the corn laws. That a large importa tion of corn must take place on the abolition of those laws might have been expected ; but, a n d a v d e b r e se e . n v l e t ry w a a b s n w n d e l a i n t k , n a o n w d n t h t e h a p t r i c i e n a I n ' r n a n n a c o e al t ly h e l 0 h w a ; rv a e n s d t independently of that, circumstances had been particularly degree, existing u ex at i r s e t r in , g an a d m h on e g tr t u h s e ted a that might account for the depression, to a certain g t ri ba cu t liurists; :latfthecoul w d o n u o lida t Latter participate in that were so many indications.

Speech T he I t i h o e u re se would bear in mind, from m,ai the n great stress of busi ness thsaptfee in l h ie er t i t' a l a aje f s ° t ujed y'i l i , he c a o r u d not provoke Speech the a i para graphs dueld ness last year, the time consideration which wereoft h e co s n u t b a j tn ec e t d . was .habitually re lation to that subject were such very would hostility in any quarter.—(llear, not doubt from the division that wadtaicelie House on the subject last year, that the Hounseill the this year think it expedient to make a ex tensive alteration in those laws. He then approac hed subject which presented a most serious complication a f ready materials evils; he referred' to Ireland. He feared that the normal state ct l a v t o e ive o d f a i g ta i d tati o o n ti ba i p n pi w iy hic p h re t s h en at te c d o un to tr o y fo.r the designs and schemes of men of morbid ambition ; but waa in t uth, incontrovertiblet—that disaffection to to fa a ct, considerable degree existed among the mass of the people. A very large 1 brce s , ras stationed in Ireland, in very excellent condition. I 't wao above all praise that the police in Ireland I iad refused, during the late imurrectionary movement, to be ( iebauched from their duty, bywbich a greateffusion of blood N vas saved. The suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in I Xalauci,Yiticli teek place at the Cieae of the last session exer cised, he believed, a most beneficial influence in Ireland in the suppression of rebellion, the saving of the effusion of blood, and the restraining, of insurrection. It was a measure of confidence reposed in the Lord-Lieutenant; but every one knew that the temper with which he administered the great powers invested in him, and the wisdom with which he applied those powers, was above all praise. It was absolutely essential to a strong and vigorous administration of the law; it was a measure so absolutely necessary, that it should be antecedent to any other mea sure, without those measures were to be inoperative. There was a subject of great complaint in different quar ters. He believed it was the intention of Govern ment that there should be an inquiry into the Poor-law. He would, by the permission of the House, allude to one more subject— one which had engaged much of the public attention, and on which there had been much expression of opinion, and which had in fact struck deep in the minds of the people— namely, the expediency of economising the national expenditure.— (Hear.) A general opinion seemed to prevail that a considerable reduction of that expenditure was necessary. Reductions to some extent had been made in that expenditure during the past year. In his opinion, nothing would conciliate the public more than a fair and equitable reduction of the national expenditure—a reduction consistent with the requirements of the public service, and the maintenance of that pro tective force on :which the security of the country depended. —(Hear, hear.) He had now endeavoured briefly to deal with the questions referred to in the address. In doing so, he trusted he had avoided any irritating topics, as ho was desirous to preserve the unanimity which ever characterised debates of this nature. The Address he was sure had been framed in such a manner that its adop tion would not compromise any Hon. Gentleman who might take an adverse view as to the cou: se which had been adopted by the executive ; besides Hon. Gentlemen who differed with its sentiments would have ample opportunities of enunciating their opinions without, on the present occasion, disturbing the unanimity which had so long prevailed in the discussion of motions of this nature, and to which good rule he trusted no excep tion would be made on the present occasion. —(Hear.) In conclusion, he would express a hope that the last para graph in her Majesty's speech would meet with unanimous approbation from all parts of the House, namely, that the destinies of this country must de pend upon Almighty God. That they must depend upon His superintending mercy was evident ; and he trusted that that protection which had so long been vouch safed to their institutions would continue to be extended to them.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord then read the Address, which was as usual the echo of the Royal Speech. Mr. BUNBURY then rose to second the motion of the Noble Lord, and in doing so said it would be no idle com pliance with established custom, to ask the indulgence of the House whilst he adverted to various matters con tained in the Address to her Majesty. It was im possible for him to look back to the events of the year just passed, to the events which were still pass ing, and to the struggles which are now taking place, with out. feeling that the present occasion was one of deep and • portant interest. To be enabled to resume their discussions in a free element, without any imposing military array to protect them, and without any intimidation or popular fury, was no small circumstance, and ought to be a matter of great con gratulation.--(Hear, hear.) It was a gratifying tact that her Majesty bad been able to allude to the peace and tran quillity which reigned in this country, notwithstanding the revolutions and disturbances which had taken place elsewhere. (Hear, hear.) He said this from an acquaintance with the sentiments of a large class of the French people, the small landed proprietors, who were altogether strongly opposed to any renewal of hostilities ; and that class was so powerful that no Administration in that country could effectually , oppose them.—(Hear, hear.) They were also, notwith standing' so many adverse crcumstances, able to rejoice in the prosperity of their commerce and their manufactures. That they had thus been able to outlive so many dis asters was the strongest proof of the sound foundation upon which British commerce and manufactures were based. (Hear). He had great pleasure in stating that the amount of exports had gradually increased since last November. The subject of taxation was one of great importance, and had latterly excited a good deal of the public attention ; but it would be very different indeed, as some individuals had proposed to limit the taxation of the country. It would be difficult to say what amount of taxation the British people would or would not be able to bear; but he be lieved a strong feeling prevailed in the country, and no doubt very prosperly so, that the taxation of the country had latterly been too excessive. He should be most unwilling to reproach either the present or the late Government with any disposition to indulge in reckless and wanton expenditurit; but this he must be allowed to say, that it was the duty of the First Minister to pay especial attention to the financial department of the Government. With regard to the navy he would only make one observation. He was of course as ignorant as any other independent Member of what would be the precise amount of the reduction to be made in that service, but he trusted the reduction would go to such an extent as to show the people that Government was desirous of carrying out to the fullest possible extent the retrench ments which had already been so successfully commenced. —(Hear, hear.) There was one subject more which was alluded to in the Speech in so pointed a manner, that he could not allow it to pass without observation. He alluded to the question 'of the navigation laws. Whatever diversity of opinion might prevail upon that subject, he thought the House generally would agree with him that the time had arrived when those laws must be indispensably reconsidered. The policy of the country for the last few years had a tendency to show that some change was necessary in that law, arid he hoped when the proper time arrived the expediency of their discontinuance would be fairly and dispassionately discussed. He would turn now Co a subject which had already been touched ; upon by the Noble Lord who preceded him. He meant the state of Ireland. It was impossible to disguise from themselves the fact that the prosperity of Ireland was bourid up with the prosperity of this country, and while he regretted that the disaffec tion in Ireland still called for extraordinary powers, he Ihoped something would be done to mitigate the suf ferings of her unfortunate people. There was one other subject only upon which he should presume to trouble the House; but it was fraught with so many difficulties that he hardly knew how to allude to it further. It was the Irish poor law. It was impossible to disguise from themselves, that in undertaking to introduce a poor-law into Ireland, they were trying a very large and doubtful experiment. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He could not wonder, then, if the introduction of the law had not been prosperous or even satisfactory. This might or might not be attributed to its errors or its defects; but, at any rate, it would form the subject of future consideration by Parliament. He would only express his earnest hope, that in solving the problem of the best means of curing the difficulties of Ire , land, that they would not mix up in the discussion of any measures that might be introduced party feeling, or personal animosities.—(Hear.) He trusted that they would enter on the discussion upon these measures with an earnest desire to grapple with ail the difficulties inherent in the question, and with a determination to avoid embarrassing the ques tion with diEculties. He trusted, further, that Irish Members would belive that English Members were ac tuated by a desire to do justice to that unhappy country with which they were connected.— (Hear, hear) There were many Members in that House unconnected with Ireland as he was, but who yet bore no sentiments towards that country except of deep sympathy of her sufferings, and with an earnest desire to alleviate her sufferings and to repair the wrongs of which they complained.—(Hear.) They must bear in mind that it was not withirf the power of men, in one session, or in a longer period, to undo that which had been the work of ages. He believed he had now touched upon every point in the Speech from the Throne, as well as he had been able—(Cheers)—and had only, before he resumed his seat, to thank the House most sincerely for the indulgence with which they had heard him.—(Cheers.) The SPEAKER having read the Address, Mr. Grattan and Mr. Disraeli rose together. The former gentleman, however, gave way, and Mr. Disraeli (who was much cheered) stood up to address the House. Mr. DISRAELI felt bound to say that both in the Speech which her Majesty had been pleased to address to her Par liament and in the answer which had then been proposed to the House to offer at the foot of the Throne, he did not find that a fair and candid statement as to the condition of the country was conveyed to the House and to the country, (Hear, and cheers.) not a candid statement either as re garded the internal condition of this country, or external re lations.—(Hear, hear.) At this moment, important and numerous as were the subjects for their consideration, doubtless the most excellent would seem to be the state of Ireland. The language which he found in a note he had made of the speech, did not convey, as it appeared to him, the impression that her Majesty's Ministers were of opinion that the state of Ireland required any immediate relief.— (Hear, hear. ) The language was austere, and if it could be satisfactorily explained, it would show the advantage of discussion in the present instance. He thought it was of very great importance to know what Ministers meant by the "earliest" inquiry? Was it an in quiry by a Committee of the House of Commons? In that case inquiry, no doubt, might be early, but the con clusion most probably would be delayed.— (Hear, hear.) And why inquiry by a Committee of the House of Commons ? They had had sufficient experience of what inquiries by Committees of the H o use of Commons might accomplish on subjects in which the Administration ought to have taken the initiative. He did not see any cause Why, the poor-laws of Irel!ind should be an exception to that rule. From iv hat sources did the Administration obtain more ample and luitisfactory information than from such quarters? They ought to be in the possession of that information ; they ought to , he prepared to legislate upon that well digested information. They had had sufficient time well to con.sider the authentic information that had reached them,. and certainly in the present state of Ireland, aboutif the t o o n b ly r i g measure poor-laws inquiry into the operation o f Majesty's Ministers w ere Parliamentary Committee. He thought it was neither satisfactory nor statesmanlike. There could be no doubt that the increase of employment in the manufacturing districts was a matter of congratulation, especially among those gentlemen who came from the rural districts, because they could assure the House that there was no increas e o f em ployment in their part of the country. He was bound to say that they were called upon to assent to a statement respecting the revival of commerce, which was contrary to- the fact, and which was calculated to do a great deal of evil. He would take a general view of the commercial pos Rion of this country at the present moment. The exports 13 ad fallen off by millions, and though rapid ( LIFT SPEAKING.) ma ny quarters there is an idea th a t CALIFORNIA. but uit material igce t Whether the . gold of Califo rnia is destined or n ot to effect a r e ta h i a n n l ;heaitninour currency relations, time will show, such will be the case. It is nat ural, therefore, under such circumstances, t.: h a t su ggestions should be made as to the : advantage of a. m i xe d c urrency of gold and silver, and the following por do r: of Some "reflections" by a merchant may interest:-- " The danger is thus evident, and it appears to me the means of escar Air* it are equally so. We have but to change our st an d a rd from gold t o silver — from a medium that is likely to fluctuate to one that is likely to be sta. tionary. Th . is measure has already been advocated on ite own merits 1 , v most of our own leading authorities on cur rency, so th at, whether Californian prospects be realised or not, we sho: ald probably not go far wrong in assimilating our standtu dto that of the rest of the world.

With a , silver standard, gold coin w ould be received here as else .. wnere, at its intrinsic worth, and in the event of a fall such as I h: awe supposed, the only losers b y it would be the holders at the tinbo of sovereigns and gold bullion, who would be ex posed to t his loss under any circumstances. " it intKir be objected that the additional demand for silver ,call sed by ,the transfer of the standard; would have a ten de AU to rii ise its yalue, and so lead to some disturbance of the currency in that direction; but it would by no means follow that sovereigns would disappear, because the standard was changed; they would continue to circulate like any other article, at their value, and would still be preferred to silver, from habit and convenience. "Another objection to the change might be, that the pricy of the sovereign would be a subject of constant dis pute ; but we do not lied this to be the case in countries whose currency is in this position. In any case. however, my suggestion would be, teat the Mint, with us, publish a weekly bulletin of the price at which the sovereign should be a legal tender for the ensuing week. A practice somewhat similar actually prevailed in England (see Jenkinson on Coins) for upwards of four hundred years, subsequent to 1250, hen the value of the gold money then existing was regulated by proclamation, though at too dis tani intervals to produce altogether the desired effect, whtch, indeed, was often rendered quite impossible from the erro neous principles on which the proclamations were based. A weekly bulletin, now that the relative value of the precious metals is known to the smallest fraction, would ob viate all these difficulties, and secure us at once the benefit of a silver standard, and the convenience of a gold circula tion, while the Bank would be enabled to hold its bullion, in both metals, in the proportions that circumstances might call for. " The seignorage on silver would of course have to be re duced front its present rate of 6 L 4 per cent., either to nothing or to about 1 per cent., as charged by the French, and I be lieve by most of the continental mints." SEQUESTRATION OF AN INCUMBENCY IN THE CITY. —A notice has been posted on the doors of the ehurch of St. Mary, Wood-street, that in consequence of the decease of the late incum bent, and no appointment having been made, the Bishop of London has sequestered •the tithes, profits, &c., and nominated certain per sons as sequestrators. A proceeding of this kind is somewhat un usual in times when every one is looking out for a livelihood, and a good "living" is apparently going begging.

HOW DAVID PRICE CURED HIS II r IFE'S SHOCKING BAD TEMPER.—David, a man of meek and kindly spirit, had long suffered from the patter-clatter, never-ending scolding tongue of his worser half. One day a herb doctor greeted David at his work, with a " Well, Master David, and how be you?" " Oh, Ibe very well, thanks to ye, but my wife's not so very nicely." " Indeed !" said the gatherer of simples, with a quick ear for an ailment, " what may be the matter wi' she, Master David?" •" Well," said David in his usual dry told quiet way, " she hey a bad breaking out about her mouth every now and then, that trouble %i her, and me varry sore, I 'sure ye, Master Doctor." " Well," said the latter, " I could make a grand cure of her, I'll warrant—l bev a salve 'at I makes tra the juice of the juniper tn*, and by biilng up a vast different kinds o' things,'at quite cures that in no time!" "'Deed," said Davie, an' what might your charge be, now. for a box o' that 'intment, 'at would quite cure her?" Oh, said the herbalist, " looking anxiously up in David's face, " only a matter of a shilling." " Well, that's dirt cheap," said David; " if you cures her, I'll give you eighteenpence, there now 1" With this offer the doctor set off home to prepare his nostrum, and straightway hied the very next day to David's house, box in hand. There he found Mrs. Price, and went at once to business. " Well, Mrs. Price, your master tell me that you hey betimes a bad breaking out about the mouth,: and I've brought a box o' fine intment 'at will quite cure ye !" With this announcement, Mrs. Price tiring up—at once seeing her husband's jest—raising toe brush with which she was sweeping the floor, and pum welled the doctor to her heart's content, even following to beat him a field from her house—he screaming out all the while, " Oh, Missus Price, be you gone mad?" From that day, however, Mrs. Price has been wholly cured or her scolding habits. David has only to look up in her face and say, " I'll get a box 't that 'intment," and there's an end of the matter. David honourably paid the doctor his is. 6d. and treated hint to make him forget his pummelling. The whole of these circum stances are strictly true.—Divham Chronicle. ECCENTRICITIES OF TRANSLATION.—The Overland China Mail, of Hong-Kong, gives a curious instance of the variation in official orders which may occur through translation. The following order was issued by Sir John Davis:—" No person except the ha:bour master can board a junk or vessel without the consent of the master, unless he is armed with a warrant and accom panied by a constable." Upon examination of the Chinese official translation, the passage was found to have been thus rendered:—" The harbour-master, and persons carrying warrants, and policemen, have power to board vessels: if there be men, and the captain does not want them to enter the vessel, then be may be able to obstruct and stop them." In commenting on this far rago the editor of the China Mail quotes some more amusing parallels from a French translation of Guy Manneriny which he had met with. " Sir Walter Scott speaks of Dominie Sampson as a' stickit stibbler'; that is, a minister who has stuck in his career, or in his dis course. A French translator renders this un niinistre assassins'—a minister stuck with a vengeance. Again, in the same novel, Dandie Dinmont is told that it has just chappit aucht on the Tron,' that is, the Tron Church bell has just struck eight. This is rendered in French, 'II est huit heures, et le Roi est sur son tr(lne'—which, being translated into English, means,' It is eight o'clock, and the King is on his throne;' the writer, probably, being led away by a confused notion that the hour had something to do with Paulus Pleydell being at that time engaged in performing the part of King in high jinks." THE WHITE RABBIT AT DARTMOUTH.—Dart mouth, like every other town, has had its full share of ghosts, ghost stories, and ghost believers, but for a period of time more than covering the last half century it has been mysteriously visited by some unearthly being, in an earthly shape of a white rabbit; many of the oldest inhabitants can bear testimony to the fact, that the white rabbit's ghost used regularly, as soon as dark ness set in of a night, to take its march from the church yard down through one or two of the principal streets of the town, gambolling heedlessly along, to the terror of most persons who saw it. Some few bolder than the rest have been known to attempt to capture the intruder; shots have been fired at it, men have given chase, and on more than one occasion the pursuer has securely placed his hat over the prize, but on lifting which the vanished rabbit has made it evident that it was not ordinary flesh and blood. Hundreds of persons used to witness the parol of this delicate-looking ghost, but the honour of capturing it during the last week has fallen on our indefatigable head constable Hearn. Hearn's story is, that on opening and entering the council-chamber on Tuesday morning, he heard very strange noises proceeding from some part of the build ing; however, there being a good supply of constables' staves close at hand, he armed himself, and, after a long search, discovered and captured, without much resist ance, a very large white rabbit. Nearly all the mem bers of the town council visited and saw this animal in the Guildhall the same morning of its capture, and from its singular ancient look, coupled with its lean condition, it was pronounced to be the white rabbit of Dartmouth. The general opinion is, that it must have purposely gone to the Guildhall, with the intention of delivering itself up, to satisfy the ends of justice.—Devonshire Chronicle. TEETOTALISM EXTRAORDINARY.-011 Friday af ternoon two well-dressed men, accompanied by a female of respectable appearance, 'quarrelled at the foot of Jamaica-street. As they were all considerably under the influence of liquor, the dispute soon assumed a seri oas appearance, and both parties threw off their upper coats for the purpose of fighting. Several blows were exchanged before the police arrived at the scene of action. The men were, of course, required to desist and leave the place, but this they absolutely refused to do, and behaved otherwise in such an outrageous man ner, that additional assistance had to be obtained before the parties could be secured. One of the men, named Brown, made such a vigorous resistance, that two of the constables were obliged to lift him upon their shoulders, and in this manner carry him off to the Clyde Police office. When searched, preparatory to being locked up, there was found, suspended round his neck with a silver chain, a very handsome gold-mounted teetotal medal, on which was inscribed the usual pledge.—North British [ADVERTISEMENT.] lIOIIOWayS Ointment and Pills the finest Remedy in the Wnrld for the Cure of Scrofula.—David Davies, a miner living at Newport, had been afflicted from his infancy with Scrofula or King's evil, which was greatly aggravated by the nature of his employment.

In this condition he commenced the use of Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and so rapid was the cure of these fine medicines, that it is considered by those cognizant of it to be perfectly miraculous.—Suld by all Vendors of Medicine, and at Professor Hello way's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
