SPIRIT of . the PUBLIC ...JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS nay- • CEIRONICLE.—The view which we yesterday took of the ; metropolitan election, applies equally to the coaling `struggle r throughout the country. Every - where, the choice lies between a positive good and a mere negatioa, a defined and benefieent policy, and an undefined party expediency. Ministers have proposed to increase the revenue, not, by taxing the people, hut by unta.xing them ;. ;sot l,y buedenine, industry, but by re lieviog of burdens, and, r elyi ng on its ,',ieherent elasticity for augmented returns:from dirninished*Osts. For this pro posal, Sir Roliert . Peel a nd his ess eadjutors have con deroncd them, and they invite he constitute - ides to ratify the condeamatien. They aciva4e no counter projet ; they pretend to no more just or adyantn.geous mode of raising revenue ; they merely say, turn them put, fur they aim at .un taxing you. The result of such an a 1 ppea_ would be very obvious, were it not for three thinos—fir_t,. the power of the monopolist classes, who share, in the wealth-omfairly obtained from the community ; secondly, the vague expectancies from change of the discontented of every sort, expectancies sedulously ministered to by indefinite expressions cr fallacious promises; aud thirdly, e that corrupt mac hi ne ry, which monppo ist cupidity and the avidity of. traditig ... poLti&ars for place not • fail •to employ to the uttermost. In these consists the Strin ‘ etli of the Opposition: Betterto lack such strength than to prevail by' iF. But it is not yet victor:ous, -and- if th ere b e any public spirit and prineiple.•in the country, it riefer 'Will. The single known 'point (of a postivc character) in the policy of the Opposition is, that they' want to get in. All their premises and all theireoticeal- . merits, their accusations a n d th e i r flatteries; tend to thiS one object. .. For -this they coquet with Cbartist and bigots, with the friends of universal suffrage, and the would-be repcalers of Cetholie •emancipation, with the must violent- supporterS of the present Co n-law, and with the Most violent haters at the Poor-law, which derives from that very Corn-law all its strin gency.do anything- that can obtain votes against, free trade and the For. this, they are ready to brilteo bully, cajole , and Ministry. POST.—We hope that even • the 1 1 1'higelladical party of London has enough of m a nlin ess t o be ashaliled oaf tithe Minis terial article which " flamed in the forehead " of Yesterday' , Morning Chronicle. W e. th oug ht . its sycephanei she most disgusting we ever read, un til w e cameto its blaSl)::.`' l Y . Surely there i s en oug h o f sense an d reae onabl enesso f pro priety and d ecency — in t h e "Lib era l " pinion of the constitu ency of London t o ma k e t h em rev olt ',against a production which in one part is wanting in the propeopride of a man; and in another shockingly isreverential towards the sacred word of God. The article to which we refer consists of nearly a column and a half all about the intention of Lord John Russell to stand for the City of Loudon. . The names. of the other candidates on the same side of politics are not mentioned, nor their claims upon the constituency so much as alluded to. Now, with all deference to Lord John Russell, we. think this exclusive devotedness to hint is rather too much on the part of the Mi nisterial journal. We need not say that our - opinion of the senatorial value of Messrs Wood, Pattison, and Crawford, Who at present represent London, at d seek to be re-elected to the new•Parlian.ent is not very high. • But we aflimiand we think we are influenced by no party feeling in saying so—that any one of these gentlemen is a more fit and proper person to be chosen to represent the city of London than Lord John Russell. We cannot look upon his Lordship's attempt to get in for the City in any other light than alit of a " forlorn hope." His address has something of the neatness of expression which distinguished the Noble Lord in former times; but, as to mat ter, it is mere balderdash. There is not a particle of sense or truth in the statement he makes by way of excuse for asking the sußrages of such a constituency as that of - Lenclon.

For in that. ease it is more than probable that the crude and dangerous demand for a positive disruption of the most important of the ties which bind up the component por tions of the Ur ited Kingdom in one organised and mighty state—would be dismissed the moment, it might be presented to their consideration—eithout further inquiry.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS• num THE MORNING PAPERS CF THIS DAY, POST.—The principal variations in • the value of the English securities were to-day in Bank Stock. This in vestment was marked, up to a late hour, at the price of 168, but the market for it became more languid towards the clo. e, and the final ootation was 167 to 9. The transacti rs were not important., being confined probably to the roattiue business of brokers acting for corporate and. other -specific interests. Bank stock is a heavy security to deal with, and whenever salea of it have to be peiempturily made the market is presently affected. We shell now attend to the farm labourets•s ;s - s s• „If .t contrast is - striking between the English anti Atneritsm farmer, it is still more so between the farsti4lestsWers ial.C . f the -two countries. . In England it is weltivreswt sOtett - -'' miserable wages agricultural labourers reci‘ivt s '..ttst .

' they stand in danger of the workhouse, with all; tocir desire to avoid it, with no education themselves, and no desire , to procure any for their children. Here, there is. not it labourer on the farm who receives less than a:dollar a day, or 24 shillings per week, while many receive more:; and those who are permanently attached to' the farm have wages equal to that throughout the year. 13.. side this, they have as good living at the fern:-ho tseits, pros='. porous 'tradesmen in the middle ranks of life clips- in England ; three substantial meals a day, and in hay and harveSt time four, with abundance and variety at each. At the same time they enjoy the advantages of excellent schools for the almost .grattutons education of t;seir chil dren, neat little cottages for themselves and wives to ,li'f! in, a little plot of ground for gardening, and privileges in great number. The consequence is, that the farm labourers and their families are all well-fed, Well-dressed, well-edaeated in all the ordinary elements of knowledge, intelligent in conversation, agreeable in manners, and as superior to the corresponding class of farm-labourers-in England as all these advantages can indicate. Thereswe no beer-shops at which they spend their substance ; no 'taunts of vice and debauchery at which they concoct the ; plans of_ the poacher, the smuggler, or the robber. to ; make up by illicit gains the deficiencies of honest indus- 1 ' try ; and, consequently, no need of prosecutions at the sessions, with all the array of constables, police, magis- 1 1 tracy, and treadmills, to punish them and keep them in 1 i order. Nobody talks, or .even appears to think, of I l house-breakers, and dwellings at distances of miles, apart i i from neighbours are often left without the doors-being , locked or bolted, in summer and in winter, all n;ght long. 1 ', * * On Mr. Delavan's own farm, there was scarcely a. labourer who had not money placed out at interest : his coachman, cook, and house-servants had several hundred dollars each accumulating in the savings' bank ; and additions made to this from the surplus of their wages every year. The gardener and farm-servants were in the same prosperous condition, and had, moreover, small plots of land of which. they were the owners.'"—Bucking ham's Amrrica. . By a communication made by Messrs. Lizardi and Co., :.he agents of the Mexican Government, to the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, the fel!owiug facts appear : The total amount of certificat-s issued in London an.iost. the customhouses of Vera Cruz and Tampico, is 1,373,006 dol lars, of which there had been paid at the said custom-houses, up to the date cf the advices by the last mail, 1,120,366 dollars, besides which there have been remitted to the said agents towards the payments of the dividends 17,715/. 17s. 9d., ex clusive of the sum in the hands of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. The accounts we continue to receive from the manufacturing districts are of a very gloomy complexion. &vend failures have occurred in Lancashire, as well as at Glasgow, and the greatest depression prevails in those quarters in every branch of business. This adverse state of things is laid hold of by the antieCorn-law party. It is converted into an argument highly favourable to their political purposes—purposes which it is proposed to accomplish through the instrumentality of that per nicious medium, popular agitation ; and the pretences on which they proceed to abuse the public mind, being artfully dressed up for the occasion, many of the manufacturers have been deluded into the belicf that the present depression of the markas is really attributable to the existing system of duties. Some time ago, the same trea cherous chyle singled out for attack the Bank of England as the unquestionable foes et origo of commercial inactivity; but being completely refuted in their reasonings upon this point, by means, too, of the very inquiry which they professed to be eager to iustitute, they now, with as little honesty and decency as they at that time exhibited, endeavour to give cur rency to the notion that the prosperity of the country consists in the convulsion of cur commercial and social system, con sequent upon a total repeal of the Corn-laws. Such being the. poition they have assumed, we would earnestly direct the attention of the more reflecting class of our manu facturers, though by no means for the first time, to an evil which is becoming but too palpably ap parent. When we hear of large and powerful joint-stock banks in the manufacturing eistriets making heavy permanent advances upon mills and machinery, and of their being re dueed to the necessity of appearing as creditors for sums of thirty or forty thousand pounds upon the estates of manufac turers who, but for such advances, would either never have embarked in business at all, or, doing so, long since have sus pended, we think we have discovered one main cause of the tracted difficulties Which have checked the manufacturing pro_gress of the kingdom. TIMES.—As, iinconsequence of the . reports that have from time to time been spread respecting the President, questions have arisen how far the captain of a vessel is justified ispassing another ship in distress, and whether such a deviation from his course as humanity :would demand might not vi iate his policy of insurance, the following extract from Marshall on Insurance, a work held as high authority at Lloyd's, may be cited, as likely to set every doubt at rest:—" The succouring of ships in distress is a duty which policy, as well as humanity, imposes on every min who has the means of performing it,. and a deviation for this purpose being for the common advan tage of all persons, underwriters and othere, is justifiable." Private letters from Rio Janeiro have arrived, of the date of the 17 h of April, which state that money for business pur• - : poses was very scarce. First rate commercial paper was not done under 10 per cent. premium. Exchange upon England was firm at 30 1 ,x, but the operations bad been limited in con sequence of the scarcity of cash. The Minister of Finance hail taken up 630 contos of rcis. in Treasury bills, at 8 per cent. per annum, and per cent. brokerage. Advises from Buenos Ayres represent the war with Monte Video as still progressing. The Treaty of. Commerce between France and Holland, lately so much a subject of discussion with the French Legis lature, as well as the attention drawn to the article of sugar by the debates in this country, will render a description of the posi tion of Holland with respect to its manufacture a matter of some interest. According to a German Newspaper lately pub lished, in which the subject is considered at great length, Holland is in the anomalous positicen that while her sugar manufacture is too extended for present circumstances, she is compelled to maintain it to its full height. She uses in manufacture every year above 1,200,000 zentner (a weight of 1001 b.) of raw sneer from her colonies, but consumes no more than about 190,0001 b., and is therefore obliged to export 1,010,0001 b. It is thus obviously' t bm h e e uacb i hol t ea e s ies to get of possible; etridllo°lfla'd t all i he: but still encourage superabundance, notwithstanding the p o werful assistance of d t a h n e exhortation g e e r x t p h o at a s t l i m o a n spade ill n o a t s itself gone has on increasing, been per_ Government. H er e she feels the lois of Belgium, whi c h has reduced domestic consumpt ion one - half , while the pro seaneaolianhdas. ' L u ri e t itohne of a u s u u f g ac a t r u rei in in sued on a scale too large for her wants: Already the' ev;l3 of this iesition have made themselves :apparent, by failures in Amsterdam and Rotterdam ; ande-though an obvious remedy would seem to present itself i n the reduction of the manufacture, this expedient• is at-. tended with more difficulties than are apparent at first sight. The chief revenue of Jan is derived from its sugar; to that the whole system of Dutch Colonial Government is - directed, and the production has increased to an extraordinary degree, while it is yet impossible to say Whether the maximum has been at:al: l ed. O n this production depCrathe internal manu- t facture and commercial n avigation of Holland, and any d en s. nution in this respect would produce a most injurious reaction against two important branches of industr y. Hence the luxes_ sity which Ilollend feels for keeping up her sugar manufacture i in spite of every tUsedvantage, and, as far as her colonial pro duce goes, it seems sbe h as no rival to fear in the export of her for Os • i'rene'' sugars, „ . co lonies do not produce enough for con sumption in the mo:her country, and the English colonies produce scarcely more than is required here. The great com petitors she has to fear seem to be the vendors of beetroot sugar in the German market, and against this article all her endeavours must chiefly be directed. Examining the production of Java snore in d e t a il .i t i s to be remarked, that the i n habitants are obliged to cover a fifth part of their estates with sugar, with which they pay their rent. Produce is encouraged by rewards offered by Govern ment, and the planters who produce more than the fills are entitled to the value of the extra quantity. - The cane is pre pared in private factories to which money is advanced by Go vernment, who are repaid in. raw sugar. The whole system worlis well, while this price pays for . the .p ee cess ; but, when it becomes too low a depression is felt ors every side. For merly the price was listed by the Government at 1314 florins per pikol (1321 b.) ; but in consequence of the decline, of sugar in Europe the Government was compelled ~ .. . . .. , -,- , , •' l -- - r •••,-; 2,-. ~ - (Lll/l it) w 21,(,/,-,(4,4 ( . . . _ ~ _. /. .1 .•.:;,,,..' ..-,,,,.: 4: , tir" , .. .P l- ,A,"I' ?'"'''' ~..'.... -.,,,,..„.„- 1. s N.:: . ... ..„ ::" 411111111 ‘ -- ' .7..• '-: 1 - , r ,,,,.•-• .v - ,'"-; .

HONIE CIRCUIT.—The Learned Judges Lord Chief Justice Tindal and Mr. Justice Bosanquet, have appointed the following days for disposing of the busi ness of the Home Circuit. The Commission will be opened on Wednesday ; July 14, at Hertford, on Monday, July, 19, at Chelmsford, on Monday, July 26, at Maid.•: - stone, on Monday, August 2, at Lewes, and on Monday, August 9, at Croydon. The business of the Circuit is unusually light. TO THE NON-ELECTORS No class ia the country is so interested in the ap proaching contest as . you. It is not, as it hal usually been, an elvetion betwixt Whigs and Tories ; it is a con test bewixt justice and injustice, betwixt work and no work, betwixt cheap food and dear foed, betwilzt low tax and high tax, betwixt free trade and monopoly, betwixt the rights of labour and the wrongs of lecn slation, be twixt honest poverty and ungodly wealth. 'You have no' votes, but you live near those who have ; you are their neighbours, their relations, and their customers. You have a legitimate 'influence over them ; that is, of reason ing with them, persuading and entreating- them to vot,.! for your. interest as, well as their own. The time may come when you will all have votes, and ,be protected in :your voting; but till that period arrives do .not; throw away your just influence • and madly side with your . adversaries. The elections in many places, doubtless; 'depend upon yogis. Form your selves into district, committees, and at every interval of leisure be diligent in, canvassing the voters. •Is it possi ble that when the shopkeepers see your rags and poverty, and hear your true and mourntul talc of sufferings ; when they remember the bad debts they have on their books arising from bad trade ; and especially when they know they have principally to live by your order—is it possi ble they can vote - against von ? In fact, you don't know your own importance until you try. With a big loaf and better trade before you, don't be' diverted from your purpose by any common place cry of " down' with the Whigs." For my part, I care not a flirt about Whig or Tory ; if Sir Robert Peel . had proposed the measureswhich tle Whigs have now brought forward, I would have supported him as anxiously as I now support them. Don't be misled by the cry of " New Poor-law." I hate the New Poor-law, and I want the . people to be independent of poor-laws alto gather. But I will never support that monopoly party which creates poverty by wholesale, and then says, _ " You shall have a rural workhouSe, instead of a union' bastile, and a plateful of paupers' porridge, instead of so many ounces. ' You must assist in removing poverty altogether from the habitations of the people: I say don't be diverted by any of these catches. While the battle rages in the field, think of nothing but joining, heart and hand, the honest army of repealers in attack ing the vast and combined forces of dear bread, Klear sugar, and land mDnopoly. If you do your duty on this occasion, I doubt not but the victory will be . won. SHIPWRECKS. (From the Australian Chronicle, of the 16th of January.) THE CLONMEL. —We regret that want of space com pels us to give a condensed account of the loss of the Conmel. It - appears from the report given in the Port Phillip Herald, of the 12th instant, that she ran on shore about three A.M. on the 2d of January, and all efforts to back her off were unavail ing, when the passengers and crew were landed on the beach with provisions, &c., where tents were formed from the ship's sails for their accommodation. A gentleman named Simpson, together with Mr. Edwards, proceeded in a whale-boat, with a volunteer crew of five seamen, towards Melbourne, and after undergoing great difficulties were picked up by the cutter Sisters, Captain Alulhall, by whom they were landed at Wil liam's Town. The cutters Sisters and Will Watch sailed for the wreck on the 11th instant, having on board Captain Roach, agent of the Clonmel, Mr. I.ewis, Harbour-master, and Lieutenant Russell, with a detachment of the 28th Regi ment. Amongst the passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Walker (Mrs. W. is daughter of Mr. Blaxland, M.L.C., and the pre sent is the second shipwreck she has suffered); Mr. Goodwin (of the firm of Hamilton and Goodwin of Melbourne) to whom one-half of the cargo belonged, Mr. Robinson_, of the Union Bank, having in his charge 3,0001. of the bank notes received at Sydney. The whole has been lost, and is supposed to have been stolen. There were on board 393 tons of coals and '2OO tons general cargo. At the time Mr. Simpson left. her fake keel and part of the sheathing was floating, about the vessel, but she was not making any water, and he is of opinion that slimed the weather tontine moderate, she would be got off: When she first struck her rate of speed was upwards of ten miles an hour. We are sorry to have to add that the firemen and some others acted in a most disgraceful manner. The Isabella had become a total wreck on King's Island, and the p issengers and cren• had been brought on to Mel bourne. The South London Floricultural Society's first show for the present seism takes place to-day at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. From the number of entries already made it promises to be an exhibition of uncommon. extent. and variety, especially in the classes of roses and geraniums, which are particularly numerous. Patronized by their Majesties the King and Queen of Hanover, and their Royal Highnesses the, Princesses Augusta and Sophia, her Serene Highness the Princess Esterhazy, the Princesses Mary and Rosa, her Grace the Dowager Duchess of Bedford, and their Graces the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Dukes of Norfolk, Devonshire, and Manchester. in addition to the above distinguished patronage to the n ew l y- i nvented Spectacle Lenses and Invisible Operative Voice Conductor, the Messrs.
