LONDON: FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1841. In the Rouse of Lords last night the LORD CHANCELLOR read her MAJESTY'S answer to their Lordships' Address. The Duke of WELLINGTON complained that public notice had not been given of the time when their Lordships were to go up with the Address. Had he known it, he would have attended. The LORD CHANCELLOR informed their Lord ships that an indictment had been found in the Central Criminal Coutvtagainst the Earl of CAR DIGAN for feloniously shooting at Mr. HARVEY TucxErr. Their Lordships, on the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, appointed a Committee to meet on Monday to inquire into the practice of the House on such occasions as that of a Peer charged with a felony. The Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill was read a first time, on the motion of Lord BROUGHAM, who announced that, after it was read a second 1 time, he should propose to refer it to a Select Committee. In answer to questions put by the Earl of H AD DINGTON, Viscount MELBOURNE stated that the Ministers did not propoSe to ,introduce any mea sure for settling the disputes in the Scotch Church, and they did, of course, mean to protect those who obeyed the law. The Noble Earl in timated that the dispute might be settled without any new law. Their Lordships adjourned. The Commons only met at one o'clock to carry up the. Address to her MAJESTY, and, on march ing in procession from the House, adjourned till this day. For many years the West India planters re-' sisted all the efforts of. the humane people of England, first to meliorate the condition of their slaves, and then to abolish slavery. They struggled pertinaciously to keep hold of the whip, and flog men, and flog women, and flog children, at their pleasure. They professed themselves almost ready to fight for the privilege of putting their slaves out of existence, whenever it might suit their convenience. They obsti nately resisted Acts of Council and Acts of Par liament to improve the condition of their slaves, or evaded them; and so insulted both the autho rity of the law, to which alone they owed their safety, and the dictates of humanity. Gradually the firm and persevering kindness of the people of England overcame the short-sighted avarice of the planters, and by successive exertions one im provement after another was compulsorily intro duced into the condition of the slaves. Finally the peqple of England achieved emancipation; and, when hey might, by simply withdrawing the protective powef,. have commanded it, they gene rously gave the plan - !ers who had for many years strenously resisted and :idiculed their philan thropic efforts, 20,000,000/. st.' ,71,ing, for little more than a mere name. The laws, be it observed, were not otherwise altered to any great extent. No compensation was made to the slaves; but a reward was given to the slave-owners. The slaves by the neces sities of their condition, living where the land is generally appropriated, and where a Govern ment is maintained by the troops of Great Britain, became the labourers of their former masters, who obtained their services on cheaper terms, we believe on the whole, considering that their masters were relieved from the obligation of always supporting them, than they paid for their services as slaves. At any rate, they have ob tained their services, and are still enriched by their labour, while they have received 20,000,0001. sterling from the people of England. Nowhere has there been anything like an in surrection, nowhere have the former slaves refused to work for reasonable wages, nowhere has there resulted from this great act of the British people anything but order, prosperity, and public happiness. Never were any men more favoured than the planters. They were en riched by our contributions, they are enriched by the continued labour of their former slaves, and they are protected by the power of the whole empire. These advantages, however, are not sufficient for the planters. They labour und_r some old fashioned and absurd restrictions as to im porting food and clothing into the for mer slave colonies, except from England and her dependencies ; and, with no other earthly pretext or ground of justification than this, which might be, and ought to be, abolished to-morrow, they claim and receive a discrimi nating duty on all sugar not of their growth, of about 4d. per lb., which enables them to put into their pockets between three and four millions sterling a year levied on the people of this coun try. For their advantage children, when they eat cakes, puddings, and tarts, to make which sugar is used —women, when they drink sweet ened tea—and men, however poor, who can find no better breakfast than coffee made palatable with sugar—all these are obliged to paythe plant ers, who already have so many advantages, and to whom they have already given so much, about 4d. on every pound of sugar they use. There is a similar tax on coffee,.so that the planters who so long*condemnecl the Africans to slavery, now ride on the English public, and enslave them by the help of the law, as they used to flog- their slaves in spite of the law. We did hope a short time ago that there was a probability of an end being put to this system, but it has of late been again strengthened by those who were the opponents of the planters and are still enemies of slavery. The persons who were most solicitous to promote the abolition of slavery are somewhat naturally, but most mis trustfully, afraid of the results of their own work, and many of them have now made common cause with the planters against the tax-paying people of England. Some of them, like Mr. GURNEY, have visited the emancipated slaves, they have been charmed with their felicity, and they demand the conti nuance of the bounty exacted from the tax payers of England,—and the continuance of the monopoly, lest the abolition of this injustice should do injury to their proteges. They did not so reason in the prosecution of their own good work. They then disregarded all the represen tations of the planters, and, turned aside by no expediency, went straight to the just and noble object of giving freedom to the slaves. Now they mistrust the principle of righteousness, and tell the heavily taxed people of England that to do justice to them would endanger the prosperity of the West India planters, and probably ruin the newly emancipated negroes. They reason in this way :—" By abolishing the discriminating duties, and by allowing the sugars of Cuba and the Brazils to come into the country at the same rate of duty as the sugars of our own colonies, our planters would be so much under sold in the market that they would be unable to keep up their cultivation, unable to employ their negro labourers, and planters and labourers would go alike to ruin." This train of reasoning has the singular defect of keeping wholly out of view the tax-paying people of England, for whose especial benefit the Legislature is constituted and laws made. At the same time it may, we think, be doubted whether the consequences apprehended by the abolitionists would follow. We proceed on the supposition that the planters shall be at liberty to buy their supplies and procure their labourers wherever they please, not introducing any kind of slaves nor revivinc , slavery in any form. Th ey w ill cu l t i- , vate their lands by freemen in freedom, and we affirm that the supposition of Mr. GURNEY and his friends, that they will be beaten out of the market by the labour of slaves working in chains, is contrary to all experience. Were it true it would be an encouragement to slavery, and a condemnation of their own conduct in abolishing it, which no argument could surmount. By making the snpposition, they are false to them selves, and to their own ennobling principles. They commit the palpable mistake of comparing the produce of the slaves of the Brazils with the produce of the former slaves of Jamaica. They make no allowance for the growth of skill in freedom none for division of labour, which cannot extend in a state of slavery, and which two elements of our own cheap production, when they come into operation in our colonies, must soon enable them to produce much cheaper than the slaves of the Brazils and Cuba.' We there ore say that the assumptions on which the benevolent men who have effected the emancipation of the slaves now seek to bol ster up a most injurious monopoly of a few plan ters against the people of England, have no foun dation in facts or in the laws of human nature. They seem to us, also, to overlook the laws by which wages are regulated. The argument which they employ is that of our landlords—" Unless You allow us to tax the community we cannot employ our labourers, and they must starve." Experie nce h as demon •d that the re4ult of the landl or d s ' p l an i s ally to reduce the la- {' J~ ; bourers to the lowest stage of existence. How can it be otherwise ? It does not create a single particle of capital for the employment of labour; it only adds to rent, which is dissipated in extra vagance. It does not increase production, and without an increase of production there can be no increase of capital. The wages of the labour ers in the West India Islands will be determined in a state of freedom, like the wages of other la bourers, by the demand and the supply of 1 tbour. It is quite clear that the abolition of the dis criminating duties will not increase the number of labourers. Will it decrease the demand for their labour ? We believe not. The abolition of those duties will compel the planters, who now actually live on taxes levied on us, to bestow more attention on raising colonial produce, and on raising it at a cheap rate. It will compel them to task their ingenuity, it will introduce' amongst them competition with one another, while they now slumber on in monopoly, but it will not destroy a single crushing mill, nor root out a single cane, nor allow a single sugar house to go to ruin. Competition amongst capitalists is another name for a brisk and increased demand for labour, and, consequently, the abolition of the discriminating duties would increase capital, and increase, not diminish, the demand for the labour of the free negroes. Mr. GURNEY and his humane friends may rest fully assured that the planters will not give the negroes sixpence a week more than they can help, and that the wages of the free negroes are not enhanced one penny by the three millions sterling which the unjust law for the benefit of the planters levies annually on the people of England. We see that some writers call the legal right of the planters to be enriched at our ex pense, and to raise a large income from holding land in the West Indies, pro perty; but it is no more property than the tax on corn is property. We are not without ap --wehension that property itself will be much endanger:?, to the great injury of the whole community, by being perpetually confounded with taxation, both by law-makers and public writers. We admit, however, that we have different clients from Mr. GURNEY and his . friends. They advocate the cause of the negroes, we the cause of the suffering, sorrowing, and toiling labour ers of England. Nor can we believe that we do not exhibit as much phi lanthropy in protesting against the sugar used by the wives and children of our hard-worked and half-starved people, being taxed to enrich the owners of West India estates, as Mr, vit.. NEY by his imaginary apprehensions that the nice plaintain and yam grounds of the well-fed glossy negroes will go to ruin, if the iniquitous descri minating tax on sugar be not repealed. Let us have our sugar as well as our corn, without paying a heavy toll to the landowners. The French Government, it is said, has been obliged to interfere with. the publication of the letters in the journals, attributed to LOUIS PHILIPPE. It could not overlook these publica tions. Accordingly, on Monday, the France, the Gazette de France, the Quotidienne, the Echo Francais, the Commerce and the National, were all seized at the Post-office, and the Editors of these journals received notice that they would be prosecuted for forgery and personal attacks on the KING. If any journals had published in England libels on the QUEEN, the Govern ment would not have been compelled to inter fere. It might have used its discretion. It might have refuted the scandal through the medium of some other journals, or it might have omitted to notice the calumny. No harm would Shave been done by its adopting either course, as prudence might have dictated. But in France the Govern ment was obliged to proceed against these journals, obliged to arrest them at the Post-office, and obliged to prosecute the Editors before the Courts. We wish to draw the attention of the public and of statesmen, and very particularly we wish to draw the attention of meddling statesmen, to the source of the difference between the conduct of the two Governments. Of course it originates in the different laws of the two countnel. In France the laic euu-4 fers on the Government a sort of supervising power _over the Journals, or a quasi censorship. It cannot, therefore, allow anything to be pub lished in them which provokes, as it may sup pose, resistance to the Government, or which is supposed to be an insult to the King, or to the Royal authority. Such is the consequence of the exceptional laws of 1819, and the September ' laws, which the Republican Doctrinaire, M. GUIZOT, with his friends, was one of the chief instruments for passing. It is clearly the conse quence of that law that the Government is obliged to interfere. If it were not, the Journals would receive impunity, and the lies would be circulated by authority. When it interferes, the law prescribes its course of proceedings, and having stopped the jour nals, it must, in vindication of its conduct, prosecute the editors. It is clear, therefore, that all these obligations are created and imposed on the French Government by the law which gives it power over the press. It is also plain that power carries great duties with it, and imposes great obligations. It was meant as a protection and relief. Now, the ques tion for consideration is—does it effect that ob ject ? Are not the duties more onerous than the protection is useful? We wish that the gentle men who so perpetually demand more coercive laws would think of this. Every such law im poses obligations, and creates duties which did not before exist, which the Gon of nature, under whose dominion both kings and subjects live, has not provided, and has not thought necessary for the happiness of his creatures, and which are restraints on freedom, impediments to action, and clogs on the exercise of discretion. It would seem that the one in question , is not necessary, because the United States and Eng land prosper without any similar law. The GoVernments in both countries are more secure without such a law than the Government of France with it. If no such law existed, every man of reflection and of common sense would at oace believe the denial of Louis PIIILIPPE and disbelieve the assertion of the obviously factious and obviously dishonest persons who have put forth the letters. Nothing would give them cre dence, except the existence of a law authorising the arrest of the Journals and the allowing the letters to be published. Thelaw, by conferring such' a power, gives validity to everything which ap pears in print. It undertakes to judge for the public; the public submit to it—for the public re verences the law, although it enact the greatest atrocity that ever disgraced human nature—the public discretion goes to sleep, and every lie not suppressed by the law receives the stamp of truth. It is the law, therefore, which, by creating the power, also creates the duty, and also creates all the unpleasant consequences. This is an illustration of a principle. A similar train of facts may be observed of a vast variety of enactments, well meant, perhaps, but full of evil. Take, for ex ample, our licensing system. The power to grant licenses imposes the duty to grant them, and to grant them to proper persons. The law thus makes the public authorities responsible for the character of licensed tradesmen of all kinds. A license is a legal sanction, and sets discretion asleep. It does not serve the public, for it really , contributes to impose on them ; it does not serve the authorities, for it adds amazingly to their duties, and must make them, if conscientious and reflecting men, doubtful whether or not the du ties be properly performed. True, they may be performed as the law prescribes, which may sa tisfy some consciences; but a law which substi tutes its hard and invariable rule—whieg is, after all, only the dictate of some one man's judgment unacquainted with the circumstances which ought to decide the case—a law which substitutes its own bard and invariable rule for the reason and judgment of individuals under the influence of circumstances, must be injurious to ' the commu- nity. We might quote further, as illustrations, our Custom-house and Excise duties, which, giving power to the Government to raise money by cer tain methods, impose on it the irksome duties, alike injurious to the morality and prosperity of society, of watching over the arrival and depar ture of every ship, and making it responsible for the national commerce, and of interfering with and prescribing every species of manufacture sub ject to Excise regulations, and so making it re sponsible for the national manufactures ; but we have for the present referred to cases enough to illustrate the general principle, and make men doubt, we think, whether the powers created by numerous laws, which impose corresponding du ties, not imposed on man by nature, are not equally burdensome to the authorities, and equally noxious to the people. The nomination of candidates for Walsall is expected to take place on Monday, and the elec tion on Tuesday next. We have therefore yet time to say one encouraging word to the honest and true electors. If anything can inspire men with noble thoughts, and make them spurn all low and base considerations, it is the conviction that they are acting under the eyes of an intelli gent public, which expects such conduct of them. We will quarrel with no man for his honest convictions, however sorely we may lament his error ; but the elector who, in such a cause, gives a vote from bribery or fear, who suffers respect for any individual to overmaster his own solemn conviction of what is due to the public, ought to be handed down to posterity with the utmost disgrace. Care will, of course, be taken to publish the names of the voters, and high honour will be, bestowed on those who, surmount ing local and personal predilections, give an honest vote for a public cause. We have no fear for the result. We cannot conceive that the men of Walsall will make the name of that borough a bye-word to all future time. They are placed in the front rank of one of the holiest contests that ever engaged the zeal of patriots, and the bulk of the nation cheers them on to victory. Down with the bread-tax !is the emphatic rallying cry under which they march to an assured and glorious triumph. The Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the borough of Leicester have petitioned Parliament to put a stop to the compulsory levying of Church-rates upon Dissenters, and for abolishing the Ecclesiastical Courts. That these Courts have not been long since abolished is disgraceful to the intelligence and the boasted liberality of this country, They are part and paved of the Star Chamber, and ought to have been swept away with it. If we must have a connection be tween Church and State, let the connection be complete. If we are to have but one Christian code, let us have but one civil and criminal one. With our pulpit uniformity, we have a right to insist on uniformity in the administration of the laws, and in the laws themselves, The Church, in enacting and enforcing laws unknown to the State—in claiming a right to exercise a separate and independent jurisdiction over the minds and bodies of men—annuls the connection between herself and the State. She places herself above t he Constitution, and assumes the privilege of ex ercising a right to which the QUEEN, Lords, and Commons, and the Judges in her MAJESTY'S vil and criminal Courts, are alone competent. Now, such a state of things cannot continue. If the Church looks to the State to uphold, what she o,lls her rights, she must appear in the ordinary courts of justice to uphold and defend them. Her Courts into which men enter as flies into the meshes of the spider's web, to be blood-socked and de voured, must be swept from the face of that earth whose soil they moisten with the tears of such victims as the poor widow YOUNG. They are neither courts of equity nor justice ? but dens of ec clesiastical rapine and prelatical persecution ; and nothing will tend more completely to alienate the minds of the working classes of England from the Established Church than any attempt on the part of the priesthood to save them from that extentrinatiotr to whith the voice' of public justice has doomed. them. How humble are the instruments with which GOD sometimes works for the confounding of in justice! A poor shoemaker, a weaver, and a pen nyless widow, have broken the sword of spiritual tyranny, irresistible by Prince or Noble since the days of the Norman Conquest. What no com bination of lay Lords was ever able to accomplish has been virtually effected by JOHN THORO GOOD, WILLIAM BAINES, and SARAH YOUNG. The last Report made by the Directois of the London and Brighton Railway, together with the explanations made by Mr. HARMAN, the Chairman, give a favourable view of the progress and cost of this important line. The works have been carried on with such spirit and success that the line to Hayward's Heath will be opened by Midsummer, and throughout the whole extent by the folio - wing Autumn. It is satisfactory also to find that the money required to complete the works will not be more than two-thirds of the sum anticipated at the last meeting, namely, 400,0001., in place of 600,000/. The Company, on the opening of the line; will start eighty car riages, with twenty-two engines, and at the same time be prepared to lay down more if wanted to accommodate the numerous visitors that will flock to this favourite watering-place, not only from London, but from the heart of the king dom. A journey from Birmingham to Brighton may then be accomplished in about the time now occupied in going from London and, consider ing the vast population residing in the interior of the country, within the same distance, it maybe safely calculated that the traffic in that direction will be greatly increased. We confidently trust the misunderstanding with Mr: GOLDSMID, as to the Shoreham Line, will be arranged withou t legal proceedings, as we cannot see on what principle of equity or justice, he can come for ward and object to any species of traffic what ever, after the price for the site of the station had been accepted. He might as well make an exception to, Chartists, Repealers, or any political or religious sect not of his way of thinking, pass ing near his property. The whole of the French Journals of Tuesday have reached us. They all notice the seizure of the journals on the previous day for the Piiblica, doh of forged letters 'attributed to the King of the French. These Journals will be prosecuted both for the crime of forgery, and for an attack upon the personal character of the Sovereign. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Tuesday with the Fortifications Bill. M. Gunor supported the measure in a long and able speech. M. GARNIER PAGES opposed the Bill, and proved very clearly that following the examples of fortified towns in Germany, cited by M. GUM); would be to reduce Paris to a level with these gloomy fortresses, in the cultivation of arts, sciences, and letters. M. TRIERS followed M. GARNIER PAGES, and was speaking when the mails left for London. As reporter of the Com mittee he was in favour of the Bill. A summary of the speeches of MM. GUIZOT and GARNIER PAGES will be found in another part of The Sun. M. THIERS, not having concluded the delivery of his speech, we reserve any report of it till to morrow. _ _ . The ablest opponent of the plan for fortifying, or rather brutalizing, Paris, yet known to the public has appeared in the person of Madame DE GIRARDIN, the accomplished wife of M. E. DE GIRARDIN,' for some time a member of the Chamber of Deputies, and editor of the daily journal La Presse. We regret that want of space prevents us from transferring her brilliant expo sure of the consequ ences,' o f surrounding Paris with walls and fortresses, to our columns. But we must find room for an extract or two. Hear this lively and patriotic Frenchwoman : With us this question is not only a political question, it is a question of nationality, humanity, and spirituality ; 1 awl we view with terror a project which tends to stifle in ! Paris the naseo.r.t r.ign of in!elligeiA?. A man of wit, M. Emile Deschamps, has said, " Of an Athens you arc :ibout to make a Maubeuge." The re- . mark is a charming and true one. Be sincere : do you know of any fortified town in the whole world where the mind works? There is none. Now, la specialite, as traffickers say in our day, the Parisian sperialite is the immense manufacturing of ideas ; Parisian labour is a labour entirely intellectual. The other cities track, apply themselves to politics or industry—Paris is the only city that thinks. Paris is a philosopher; don't make a soldier of it. Don't thrust it into an armour; it, heavy euirass would embarrass its walks in ito reveries on the destinies of the world. Don't put a helmet on its head; ideas dread iron, and dare not arise beneath a heavy coif: . feure. Bonaparte, who knew the helmet's effect on the brain, never wore but a little bat. It is not a war of France with foreign States that threatens. but a more ter rible battle, because it causes the loss of all others—a sul len and fatal struggle, a clandestine duel between violence and reason, and between brutal force and thought. Madame DE GIRARDIN next proceeds to show, that to fortify Paris is to overthrow- the Consti tution, by proving it to be impossible that any King could be otherwise than absolute in an at mosphere of saltpetre. To fortify Paris, and to desire Loris PHILIPPE to remain a Constitu tional Sovereign, would, she contends, be about as reasonable as to give a drum to a child and bid him make no noise, or to open. a; cage, and desire the bird not to fly out, because it is a prisoner on parole. Madame DE GIRARDIN is perfectly right. No monarch in a fortified capi tal, capable of giving laws to the nation by an act of its mere volition, could resist the tempta tion of making himself absolute. With the mounting on the last gun on the ramparts of Paris expires the constitutional freedom of France. This morning, at half-past twelve, Lord Granville went in state to the residence of the Minister for Foreign Af fairs. When the Ambassador's equipage came to the door a footman alighted to inquire of the porters if M. Guizot was at home, and was answered in the negative. The Minister had, in fact, just set out for the Tuileries; Lord Granville immediately returned back. I Ten minutes afterwards Count Appony, the Austrian Am bassador arrived, and did as Lord Grenville had done. As he was crossing the Place de la Concorde, His Excel lency perceived the Prussian Ambassador, who was like wise going to the Foreign Office. The two carriages drew up close to each other, and Count Appony doubtless informed his colleague that M. Guizot was not to be seen, for the Prussian Ambassador immediately turned back. BERNE. J.N. 21.—The revolt having been suppressed by the energy of the Government, the attempts of the re volutionary party show themselves in another manner. A new Sarnian league is formed which proposes to attack, by every possible means, the liberal course of the new Vorort, or at least to create such embarrassments that foreign diplomacy may have a pretext to interfere in our affairs.—Le Commerce.

It is much to be regretted that the en velopes first introduced, and the adhesive stamps, have not found favour with the public, as the use of them, instead of prepaying letters, is a part of the penny postage plan, which in its working would save a great deal of trouble, We hope, therefore, that the new envelopes, which are better than the adhesive stamps, will satisfy the public, and come into general use. If they should not, the Post-office authorities may, pre, bably think it right to propose a somewhat higher charge for pre,paid letters than for letters protected by a stamp. HAMBURGH AND DUTCH MAIL THE HAGUE, J4N. g4.-it appears from the official lists that in 1830, 6,625 ships were cleared inwards in the different ports of the kingdom, of which 2,964 were under the Dutch flag and 1,446 under the English flag. Cleared outwards, 6,707 ships,-2,983 under the Dutch and 1,450 under the English flag, HAsteueeli, JAN. I.9.—The following are additional particulars of the temperance riot :—A Meeting of the Temperance Society lately formed here, which was to take place yesterday evening, gave occasion to scenes which were far from temperance and moderation ; an institution which has even been able to disarm the contentious Iristrean of his shillelah, excited our generally peaceable populace to acts of destructive fury. The place chosen for the meeting was a lecture-room in the old school house, the way to which passed by a public-house, the owner of which illuminated his house, and by open ing all the doors, invited people to enter. In the front of his house, a-'d i❑ the open space before the school house, a dense crowd was collected, whose turbulent conduct, as well as the furious cries uttered by some, sufficiently manifested the effects of the invitation of the tavern keeper. The members of the Temperance Society and the friends of the plan, had great difficulty in making their way through the crowd, at seven o'clock, the time fixed for the meeting, into which a number of persons found their way, who were far from intending to promote its object. This soon ap peared ; for scarcely had the Secretary begun to read the rules of the Society, when several of the persons present, by violent clamour and other manifes tations, made it wholly impossible to proceed. This gave the signa to the crowd collected at the door for acts of greater violence ; the doors were forced, and the members of the Society had scarcely time to retreat by the back door. The mob penetrated to the apartment in which the meeting took place, broke the win2ows, tables, and chairs, which they threw into the neighbour ing canal, and did as much damage as they could ; they remaked masters of the field till the Civic Guard, which was called in, cleared the building and its vicinity of the rioters. HANOVER, JAN. 20.—We continue to receive me , lancholy accounts of the damage done by the inunda. tions. BREMEN, JAN. 20.—The Weser has risen to the height of 17 feet 1) inches, which i 3 higher than it has been for eight years. The temporary bridge which was erected two years ago, to serve while a new stone bridge is building, is in great danger : the ice is still 20 inches thick, and if it begins to snow before the water falls, the it is thouaht, must b: destroyed. IlAmßoacti, JAN. 22.—We learn from Bremen that the Weser had risen to 18 feet yesterday ; the bridge is broken in the middle, and it is not likely that any part of it will be saved.—llamburgh Papers, Jan. 22.

The Funds are rather hater again, and there h•ts been more activity in the market to day, both in real and speculative bargains. At the close of the market the value of Consols, both for present transfer and the account was steady, being 894 to 4 for the former ; and 894 to 8, for the latter. Exchequer Bills were without alteration, being still 4s. to 6s. :premium, and India Bonds ranged from ss. to 10s. discount. Bank Stock was not quite so good, the quota ion beingl6B to 169 ; and India Stock has reeede.l from 250 to 248 and 249.

'v The state of general trade in the City is at present tolerably satisfactor% ; but the failures of the last fort night, and the slight reaction in the Foreign Exchanges, notwithstanding the continued abundance of money for commercial purposes, have had a slight effect upon that confidence which is so essential to a renewal of activity. The Customs' returns of British manufactures exported from Landon also begin to look fuller. ( From The Sun of Last Night.)

BULWER'S NEW NOVEL, " NIGHT AND MORNING."—Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer's xpected book has, unlike most hoped for things, more than equalled our anticipations. It seems to us to be im pressed with the strong leading features of various minds, rather than to have taken its tone from the guiding charac teristic of one, for we find it equally powerful and vivid in contrasted lines of excellence. Thus its tenderrwss of sentiment, so delicately and minutely po ur t ra y e d, lik e t h e feathers on the wing of the butterfly, is powerfully con trasted by the masculine strength of grasp with which he seizes and delineates the coarser lines of crime ; and the purity and holiness of the best affection; of our nature, as drawn out by Buiwer in those ties of our affections which bind us to each other, aid those delicately constructed links of sympathy, which no! e but such an author cou'd have fahricatA, arc as singularly set off by the frivolous, heartless, soulless emptiness of that clique in the upp r ranks who think that the ,‘ porcelain clay" was never made for the vulgar uvos of thought and feeling. Any one of these leading features would have made Bulwer a popular author, but united they render him a great one.
