LORD CARDIGAN AND 'Nat. MACALTLAY, (From the ..1 1 ,forkiT'zj Chronicle.) The answer of Mr. 'Ma2aulay to Mr. Hurne's question respecting Lord Cardigan has done little service to that noblemen, wtile it will, we fear, prove itkittrieltS 1 . 6 the Right Hon. Gentleman himself. Mr. Macaula3's statement (kiter irrelevant or UP.. true. As to the eirC'eAis'tance so minutely described of the 11th Regiment arson !Kea matched out of the Ri;.ii - tt school, inspfected for half an hour, and thef..l , ll`.`,'Zheci hack to the hiding-zchocl, ult , .'n the punitinnent was inffcted, we nnderstand that the whole took place under what is called a " church parade," But the matter is unimpsrt ant. Mr. Macaulay, however, went out of his way to volunteer a tribute to the humanity of the Earl of Cardi gan. We have already observed that the charge against his Lordship was nut for inhumanity, but for indecency. In noticing the case, we expressly avoided entering into the question of flogging. or whether private Rogers de served it or not, and confined ourselves to the mere fact of the punishment having been inflicted on a Sunday. But as Mr. Macaulay has become Lord Cardigan's truzn peter, and injudiciously raised the question of his humanity, as a set-off for his disregard of decency, we will proceed to join issue with him on that point. As a proof of the humanity of Lord Cardigan, Mr. Macaulay has asterted that no man in the 11th Hussars has been punished with the lash since 1839. This inference can scarcely be drawn from all the circumstances conLec tad with his Lordship's command. The strength of fan corps under his Lordship's com mand is about 335, rank and file. The number of Courts-martial from June, 1838, to June, 1839, was about June, 1839, to May, 1840, about 45 Totll lO3 Of this number four were pardoned. The punishments by Lord Cardigan's own authority on the delaulterb' list were— In the first year, about In the second eleven months, about Total 748 During the time the regiment was in Canterbury time were about 90 icon confined in the gaol. In regard to the defaulters amounting to about 748, it is understood Lord Cardigan received instructions from head -quarters to diminish the severity of his punishments. And as to the courts-martial, the Inspector-General of Cavalry, Sir C. Dalbiac, recorded his opinion, that " Lord Cardigan's command had been characterised by unneces sary harshness." The inference therefore is, that it is not to Lord Cardi. gan's humanity, but to the orders of the Horse Guards cot. sequent on his Lordship's severity, that the diminution cf punishments is to be attributed since the regiment lett Canterbury, With reapect to the quasi-justification, that " the case was, not peculiar, as similar instances had occurred in the army, as well as in the other branches of the service," we were sure that Mr. Macaulay was here calumaiiting the officers of the army. We have made inquiries in the proper quarter, and are positively assured that such a thing as flogging on a Sunday is utterly unknown in England— nay, that even in the colonies it is unheard of. We sub join a Ltter on the subject from an officer who has com manded two regimeuts, in which Mr. Ma •aulay is chal lenged to produce a single case of such an outrage in the United Kingdom or the Colonies : " Sir,-1c appears to me most essential that the public should be disabused with regard to punishment in the army being inflicted on a Sunday. I challenge Mr. Macaulay. or any other person, civil or military, to pro duce a case of such outrage in the United Kingdom, or in the Colonies, and I hope you, on behalf of the public, will not let the matter rest until the case is produced. It is possible that in the field or active service such an occur rence has taken place ; but th at is a very different affiir. Your obedient servant, " AN OLD OFFICER, Forty years in the army, having com manded tao regiments." We cannot quit th subject without ot)aerving that it gives us pain to see a man like Mr. Macaulay compromis i'g his own title to public regard by his mode of defend ing Lord Cardigan. When Lord Cardigan was the sub ject of n discussion in the House before the recess, the Right Honourable Gentleman positively misrepresented the nature of tha communication trom the Commander.in- Chief, when he contradicted Mr. Warburton, whose ac count of it was strictly correct. Mr. Macaulay said "he believed that the communication of Lord Hill was a general admonition to the regiment, to the effect that the dissensions between the commanding officer and some of the officers had a tendency to render the corps in-- efficient," whereas ire mmanding officer distinctly stated " that thellth Hussars is not in the state in which a regiment ougid to be, in order to afford ground for con fidence that it would, in quarters or in the field, at house or abroad, render the efficient service which might be ex pected" from such a bady. It cannot surely be necessary for the Right Honourable Gentleman, in the discharge of his official duty, to play the advocate for Lord Cardigan, though, even as an advocate, he has indulged in a mare than allowable looseness of sta:emcnt. The whole style, too, of his answer to Mr. Hume on Tuesday night—his laboured tribute to Lord Cardigan's humanity, and his questionable endeavour to shelter his Lordship's inde cency under precedent, in order to weaken the feeling which his outrageous conduct was calculated to excite— was altogether unworthy of Mr. Macaulay. (From the Morning Advertiser.) In the whole course of our newspaper experience—that experience extends to about ei(Biteen years—we have never heard or known of such an atrocious outrage upon public feeling es that perpetrated by Lord Cardigan in flogging a soldier upon the Sabbath-day—a day of rest and forgiveness, and forgetfulness of injuries—of charity and prayer—of kindliness and good feeling. Flogging, in any instance, is a brutal, barbarous, and de moralising act, and can only be committed, or put into practice, by a barbarian or a brute ; but for any one to have said, as in the course of diine service he must have said, "forgive us our debts, as we forgive the debts of others," and flogging a soldier immediately after wards, the barbarism of tile flogging becomes infinitely more disgusting and atrocious. And what did Lord Cardigan do, according to the ac counts which have appeared in almost every paper? Why, after making his orisons to his Maker—after hearing Divine service, in the course of which we doubt not the Rev. official inculcated the principles cf mercy and for giveness, and brotherly love—he leaves the house of God, and in thorough contradiction of the holy principles at tempted to be impre,sed upon his mind, he orders the haL bests to be prepared, the cat to be in readiness, and a mi serable poor brother in flesh to be stripped, and his bare back exposed to the involuntary but savage lash of the drummer. Was there ever such a scene exhibited in the whole annals of the army as that to which we now refer ? Will even the " Nee gate Calendar," or the Ca lendar of any other gaol in any part of the United King dom, furnish us with such a signal instance of cruelty on the one hand, or desecration of the Sabbath on the other? Lord Cardigan, if we are rightly informed, is supported by a Royal Lady, and has hitherto escaped from being cashiered, in consequence of his private influence in that quarter; but whatever that influence may be, we will tell Lord Melbourne, honestly and sincerely, that if he sub mit to the dictation to which we allude, he v ill nit only materially damage his own personal character, but als, that of the administration of which he is the head. If Lord Hill be waning into dotage, and incapable of dis charging his duties as Commander of the Forces, which to all appearance seems to he the case, he ought to be cal'ed upon to resign his iffice, which he has held too long, and to transmit its rights and privileges to more firm and able hands. At all evente his conduct respecting Lord Cardigae, has given the greatest disgust te) the pub lic generally ; and if Lord Hill do not have bim dismissal for the desecrating outrage of which the Noble Lord has been guilty, since the last lecture administered to him at Brighton, there is no one who will not concur in the opinion that he is utterly and totally unfit to fill the high situation, and execute the important duties committed to his charge. (From the Morning Herald.) In adverting—in the Herald of the 15th instant—to tine case of a flogging inflicted on a private of the 11th Hus cars on a Sunday, in the riding-school of Hounslow Bar melts, and " immediately after (as it was alleged) the celebration of Divine Service," we availed ourselves of that opportunity to express a doubt as to some parts of the statement which was originally published of that transac tion. The explanations which have since been offered in the House of Commons have amply justified the doubts which we then intimated ; we wish we could add that they had altogether relieved us from the necessity of re deeming the pledge which we then gave, that, in the event of its theresf er appearing that Lord Cardigan had ren dered himself justly obnoxious, by his conduct in the mat• ter, to the imputations which had been lavishly cast upon him, we should not be slow to concur with the Chronicle in calling for the severest censure upon his Lordship at tho hands of the highest military authorities. We must own that the discussion which took place on this affair, in the House, the night before last, has excited in us a strong feeling of disappointment and regret. The case, as very fairly put by Mr. Macaulay, the Secretary at War, certainly exhibits an important mitigation of those circumstances, on the assumption of which, alone, we pre sume, could our Contemporary, the Morning Chronicle, have been betrayed into the coarse, not to say ferocious, expressions in which it passed judgment on Lord Cardi gan, unheard:— " With the punishment of the soldier in question asked by his Hon. Friend had nothing to do, and, whatever other charge might be brought against the Noble Lord ( Cardigan) in the command of that regiment, there could be none on the ground of humanity, as would be proved by the fact, that since the early part of 1839 there had Dot been an instance of corporal punishment in the regiment, except in the case just referred to. The charge which might be, and had been brought against Lord Cardigan on this occasion, was for having directed the punish. ment to be inflicted on a Sunday__( Hear, hear)—a pro ceeding which he (Mr. Macaulay) would not defend, be lieving it to be utterly repugnant to the general feelings of the country—( Hear, hear)—and though the case was not without a precedent in the service, yet all the officers of great experience whom be had consulted on the subject, stated that corporal punishment was never inflicted on a Sunday, except under circumstances of great exigency-- circumstances which certainly did not exist in this case.— ( Hear.) However, he had to state to the House that such notice had been taken, and would be taken, of the case as would effectually prevent the recurrence of any similar one in future."—(Hear.) Now, taking for granted the perfect impartiality of this account of the affair, it amounts to no exoneration of the Noble Lieutenant-Colonel, from the charge of havin g needlessly and offensively desecrated the Sabbath. His Lordship may —as the Secretary at war seems, in charity, to suggest for him—have been intent only on carrying cut that unremitting system of discipline, for his sueccss in administering and maintaining which the corn mander-in- Chief has, on more than one occasion, so highly eulogised bim. But e whatever value Lord .Cardigan may .way• - . attach to keeping up the soldicrlike deportment Of hig men on and off parade—their steadiness en ser`Vice—thetr precision of manceuvre..:-..aitd even their habits of moral propriety4lie.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAFERS OF THIS DAY, TIMES.—The expression which suggested itself to us on opening the recently published correspondence on E es tern affairs, appears to have elicited a little animadvereien from som e o f our C on te m p o r ar i es , with whom we are not aceustotee3 to disagree; Admitting, howeser, if you will, that veracity is a conspicuous characteristic of the quarter from which these papers emanate, it is surely neither un chset itable nor unitest to conjecture that a collection of do cuments containing the diplomatic int , rcou-se of seven Ca binets or Councils, some of them declared enemies to etch other, all cf them actuated by various mo tives, and all of them putting the most specious appearance on their conduct, is likely to prove an enormous mass of mutual deception. We wish, for the sake of mankind and of truth, that it were otherwise ; and we hastened the other day to express our belief that the practice of laying documents of this nature before the world would tend to check the underhand deal ings which diplomatists hive at times being accused of. How is it possible that this volume should not be fu'l of lies? The very object of its publication i 4, we presume, to expose them. We find the Sultan Mahmoud protesting in the Spring of 1839 of his pacific intentions, and the Rus sian Cabinet complaining that it had been deceived by the Divan, which somehow or other managed to renew hosti lities against the Paella, in spite of the remonstrances of all Europe—remonstrances which were sincere and energetic on the part of some, hollow and feeble on the part of others. We find the :Paella protesting with equal energy of his submission and moderation ; but there assurances, which were sufficiently strong to convince Colonel Campbell, were treated by Lord Poneonby and Lord Palmerston as the artifices of insatiable ambition. We find France pro fessing to identify her policy and her instructions Kith those of England, yet swerving from the course whenever she was called upon to act upon the principles she af fected to adopt. We find Russia labouring with unremit ting address to establish a character of good faith and disinterestedness, which gains less easy access in the Ce binct of the Tuileries than in that of St. James's. From these various and conflicting sources Parl'ament and the public will doubtless be, able to. form a just con clusion, by making a due allowance for the purposes which these negotiations were intended to-accomplish. As far as our own diplomacy is concerned, it is remarkable, not for duplicity or art in veiling its objects, but for the strenuous and daring avowal of its opinions, even at the risk of exaggerating conviction into prejudice, and firm ness into imperiousness, Throughout Lord Ponsonby's share of the correspondence, these defects are strongly visible, even in the extracts from his despatches, which have been selected fer the public eye. Lord Palmerston's own productions arc distinguished by that acute and peremptory spirit which has enabled him to remain the master of these negotiations from London to Alexandria, and to animate the whole combination by his own streegto of will; but these eminent quali:ies are impaired by the absence of that unprejudiced and unruffled temper of which Lord Granville in so fortunate an example To the influerce of this distinguished Ambassador and to that of Lord B• auvalc, acting in immediate concert with Prince Metternich, it is fair to attribute a considerable share in these important transsc:ions, and great merit in allaying the dissensions to which they might have given rise. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE M )RNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. PO ST.—The dulness which had prevailed on the Stock Exchange from the beginning of the week continues. There was this morning almost a total stageatien in the English house, while, in the foreign, the transactions were confli ed chiefly to the Peninsular securities, an 4 these were of trifling extent. By far the most important operations of the day were in shares. The approach making by the Company to the completion of the Brighton line causes much more activity in that speculation. Tho shares, which were, at one time, as low as 15 or 16 dis., weie done te- Jay at a fraction less than 2 dis. ; but there was some fluc tuation in the market, and the highest value was nut fully sustained at the close of business. SUN.—The non-arrival of the President steamer still excites much anxiety in the City, though far less conversa tion and exci'ement. Most parties have at last made a virtue of necessity, and resolve to he patient. The Stock and Share Markets were dull to-day. Con sols for immediate transfer realised 901 to 90;4, and for the Account 901, being precisely yesterday's prices. Exche quer Bills were 134. to 15s. premium, and India Bonds 2 premium to par. Bank Stock was firm at 173 ; the New l'hree-and-a-Half per Cents. ranged from 99 to 991 ; and the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities brought 891 to /. The New Five per Cent. Portuguese Bonds were at 34 to 3311, and the Three per Cents. at 201. Colombian Bonds of 1824 were heavy at 22k, and Mexican of 1837 at 301 to 1. Belgian Bonds were firm at 103. The ad vices received this afternoon from the Amsterdam Bourse notice a very brisk market fur the domestic funds. The Two-and-a- Half per Cents closed there at 51 , 2-; and the Five per Cents. at 991. Here the former were firm at 52 to 1, and the latter improved from 991 to 997 { . The Share Market was in a good position again to-day. Great Western Railway Shares brought 30 to 311, the Fifths at 74 ; the London and Birmingham 70; the Bir mingham New 221 ; the Greenwich &rip 1 ; and the South Western 20k prem ; North Midland Shares were 16 ; Manchester and Leeds 3i : and Biighton dis. ; London and Westminster Bank New Shares were at 21 prem.

DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. AMSTERDAM, APRIL 17.—1 t is with great pleasure that we are enabled to state that it is highly probable that the Minister of Finance will not make any use this year of the authorisation given to the Government by the Cham. ber, to issue new Bonds (Schidde-brieven). We hava already stated that, at all events there would be no issue in the first six months of this year. We are now able to add that the spirit of order and economy by which the present Minister of Finance is so honourably dis tinguished, will render the issue of New Bonds unnecessary in the second half of the year. The issue of a month's portion of new Treasury notes (Sehatpest billellen), for which his Excellency is authorised by the States-Genera', will be the only extraordinary mea sure to which the Minister will have recourse during the whole of the year 1841. Thus we joyfuLy sec the present Minister of Finance fulfil in this respect also the high expectation which we always entertained of his Excel lency.—Handelsblad. THE HAGUE, APRIL 16.—The Minister of Finance set out yesterday afternoon for Amsterdam, far the purpose, as we are assured, of settling the affairs of the Syndicate, which institution is to be dissolved on the Ist of May next. FRANKFORT, APRIL 14.—We have learned with the greatest interest, by letters from St. Petersburgb, written by persons worthy of credit, that "his Majesty the Em peror of Russia has resolved to emancipate the Jews in his empire as soon as intellectual instruction and civilization shall be so far advanced among them that this great boon mar be beneficial to themselves." Since the beginning of February, this year, there have been deliberations at St. Petersburgh, the object of which was to attain this object by a judicious improvement of their moral and civil condition ; 200 new schools are now organised, and the youth educated in these schools, as well as the old ones which join in this attempt, shall enjoy, without limitation, the same rights as all other subjects. At present measures are in progress to invite to Russia from foreign countries, especially Germany, the men who, at Government schools, deaot head masters, teachers, &c., shall manage the several primary and learned estab lishments, since qualified persolis are not at present to be found among the Jews in the empire. The number of Jews in Russia and Poland is about 2,000,000. A day or two ago, while the workmen in Mr. Thomson's wood-yard, in Glasgow, were cutting up a plank cf rose-wood, eight inches thick, they found en closed in the cent-e a large insect, seemingly of the cock_ rorch species, measuring about two itches in length, and in the finest state of preservation. Attached to its hinder extremity was a thin loose filmy substance, which reiembl..d a cast-ofT iskin ut the itisect, while the cavity they were found was closely fitted to their shape and s!a.: , .

At our Quarter Sessions held on Tuesday, April 20, there Here but thi , ten prisoners for trial, all fcr triflirg offences, having no public interest, tsto of which were lett for this day ; and all would have passed off without notice but for one of the Jurymen entering the b,x with his on : he was ordered to take it off, which he declined from relivious motives, stating he was a Quaker. Ono of the Magistrates, Hughes Hughes, Esq., not M.

This was again repeated, when it was removed out of reach, and having declined taking the oath, rfter some difficulty, the affirmation was made. During the whole of the time this said MaOs'rate was sit ing on the bench ssi:h his hat en. The officer of the Court ought surely to have served him as he did Mr. Pierce. the Quaker ; or are ther two laws in this Court, one for those on the bench and another for those under it ? EASTHOPE'S BILL. (From the Nonconformist.) Church-rates--an impost originating in clerical cupidity, fixed by fraud, continued only to gratify the Cow ch's pas sion for ascendancy—a tax, the laying and levying of which engenders some of the meanest dispositions of hu man nature, craft, lying, spite—a perennial spring of bit terness—a thing that carries the war of party, of religious party too, right into the heart of otherwise peaceful neigh bourhoods, and gives to men who are known in each dis trict, and whose worth or worthlessness can be best appre ciated there, power to vex, insult, worry, tyrannise over those who know them, and to do it all in the name of Christianity :—Church-rates are again about to be ar raigned at the bar of the House of Commons by Mr. East hope, the Member for Leicester. And what wiil he the verdict of that assembly ? That very much depends upon Dissenters themselves. They have no excuses now for inaction. The Bill is a good Bill, judged by the standard of their own principles—it proposes abolition, it substitutes nothing. The time, for aught we can discern, is as opportune as it is likely to he for many years to come. At at events, it is of essential importance for the great body of Dissenters to show themselves. If they fail in removing Church-rates, a formidable attitude assumed may deter the House from adding, as it is well inclined to do, to our ecclesiastical burdens. Every congregation in the kingdom should petition. If Mr. Easthope's Bill is rejected, it will be rejected by the people's representatives. Let dissenting electors mark that. Let them not put up with speeches followed by no vote. They should demand by letter, or by per sonally waiting upon them, the attendance of their re spective Memi'ers on the night fixed upon by the Member for Leicester for his motion. Let them diligently scru tinize the division list—and let them solemnly determine, that the man who votes against the Church-rate Abolition Bill, however fervent his professions, or who is absent upon a frivolous pretext, shall not have their support at the next election. They have been be-fooled too long already. • • • MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—At the Palace of the Grand Duke of Oldenburg, on Thursday, the 15th of April, by the Rev.

FRANKFORT, APRIL 14.—We have learned with the greatest interest, by letters from St. Petersburg, written by per sons worthy of credit, that " his Majesty the Emperor of Rus sia has resolved to emancipate the Jews in his empire as soon as intellectual instruction and civilisation shall be so far ad vanced among them that this great boon may be beneficial to themselves." Since the beginning of February, this year, there have been deliberations at St. Petersburgh, the object of which was to attain this object by a judicious improvement of their moral and civil condition. 200 new schools are now orga nised, and the youth educated in these schools, as well as the old ones, which join in this attempt, shall enjoy, without limitation, the same rights as all other subjects. At present measures are in progress to invite to Russia, from foreign countries, especially Germany, the men who, at Govern ment schools, denoted head masters, teachers, &c. , shall manage the several primary and learned 'establishments, since qualified persons are not at present. to he found among the Jews in the empire. The number of Jews in Russia and Poland is about 2,000,000. Dr. Libenthat, a Jewish preacher at Riga, who took part in the deliberation at St Petersburg, says in a letter, They languish in a state of wretched.iess which is irksome to us. In Germany they groan in a degree of what the Germans have not the most remote conception; they have the filthy yoke of the middle ages, without wishing for a radical and com prehensive reform, and are thus the hideous caricature of all our great and noble efforts in Germany. But these fetters ( such is the generous purpose of the Emperor) must be bro- Len." His Excellency Al. Uwaroff, Minister of Public In struction, devotes the most energetic efforts to this object, in which every friend of humanity must feel the most lively in tereA. ALDERMAN PERRIN. SUPERIOR COURT, AmEnicA.--Mr. Arthur Perrin, late Mayor of Dublin, arrived here a few days back with his two sons, and a day or two after his arrival he was arrested under the Stilwell Act for abolishing imprisonment for debt and punishing fraudulent debtors. The case was yesterday brought Wore Judge Jones, who occupied the greater part of the day in c-xamining it. It appeared that Mr. Perrin was arrested on the affidavit of Mr. James Lee, a merchant of this city, acting as attorney and agent of Robert Hunter, a merchant of Dub lin, who holds Perrin's endorsement to the amount of 600/. Annexed to the affidavit of Lee was the affidavit of Hunt, taken before a Master in Chancery in Liverpool, and certified by the American Consul at Liverpool. This affidavit stated that Perrin was indebted to Hunt in the above amount, and the affidavit of Lee stated that from information and belief, Arthur Perrin had contracted the above mentioned debt frau dulently, and that he had disposed of his property with intent to defraud his creditors, and that he intended to remove his property out of the jurisdiction of the Superior Court, with in tent to defraud his creditors. Counsel for Mr. Perrin moved to quash the proceedings, first on the ground that the affidavit (f Hunt was not taken in a proper manner, or before a proper officer ; and secondly that Alr. Lee's affidavit was merely an information and belief, with out stating when or by whom he was informed, which in a quasi criminal proceeding like the present was not sufficient, and that it was the practice of the Court of Common Pleas not to con sider mere information or belief sufficient in such cases. It was also objected that it did not appear in the affidavits that any suit had been commenced against the defendant in the Su perior Court. Mr. M'Keon, Counsel for the defendant, also remarked, that if Mr. Varian, or any other present or ex-Mayor of this city, went to Europe, how very easily could some person there be induced, either innocently or corruptly, to swear that from " information or belief" he knew the person had left New York for the purpose of defrauding his creditors, and in such a case, if the laws of England were similar to those of this State, the American citizen might be imprisoned in England for an indefini a period, or until he delivered up his property or made an assignment of it. Judge JONES overruled the objections, and decided that the affidavits were sufficient. Mr. Perrin then made an affidavit, denying the material facts alleged against him, and submitted to an examination, in the course of which he testified that he had in Ireland pro perty worth 2001. per annum, and that he brought no more mosey with him than would pay his expenses here and back. Mr. Perrin's son was also examined, and from his testimony it appeared that Mr. Perrin came here for the purpose of settling one or two of his sons, who accompanied him, as far mers in the United States, and that his returning to Dublin, or making this country his permanent residence, was to be de termined by circumstances, such as how he liked the country, Sze. It is expected that the Judge will give a decision in this case this day.—New York Paper, March 30. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.— Mr. Miller, the engineer of that line, intends to open it throughout, from end to end, on Ist August next without fail. In order to exped . te the works along the line, the Edinburgh Railway Company sometime ago bought a locomotive engine, and gave the use of it to John Gibb and Son, for their extensive contract at the Almond Valley, near Edinburgh. They also last week bought another locomotive engine from Thos. Edington and Sons, of the Phoenix Iron Works, Glasgow, to be used by Mr. M'Naugton, contractor, Redding, near Falkirk. These engines will be of immense advantage to the contractors, as they will get the work done faster and much cheaper than by horses, as formerly. The repairing and other stations are also progressing rapidly towards completion, and the whole line of railway is a very animated scene, from the great exertions which are now made to finiih it without delay.—Constitutional. a bank fixed i in capital that iutthh i island. r a fie n t Letters from Java give a curious history of the y 2 d , t O i ot U a ssOtuwoseoabsnfo. establi shedo,utgedhsdivided bAd eut dtfifreis l avt 2 t:t ht years eh4,eomoc lee shares g rsc o h ; s h e: any, aibhi c a , a nd the greatest shareholder was the Govern mnuan(l'itsnatiw.e Toe abundance of produce doting the operations of the first year rendered the bank but an unprofitable con cern ; abundance in the market brought with it an abun dance cf specie, so that the paper money would have been superfluous. Produce, however, became scarce, and dollars became scarce also, so the bank was brought into play, and increased in prosperity; its paper was in circulation to a large amount, the dividend to the shareholders was enormous, and the shares became worth 340 per cent. Things went on in this way till about a year and a half ago, when the bank found that its coffers were empty. Instead of being embarrassed at this cir cumstance the managers at once coolly declared, that they did not intend to pay their notes, and the Creditors were obliged to submit to this determina tion ; it is said, however, they were in fear the Go vernment might exercise their privilege of banishing the unruly. The managers of the bank, however, began to feel the consequences, and were obliged to draw in their credit, and this, it seems, was effected by throwing out insinuations, which ruined the credit of those to whom they applied. A general want of confidence has been the result of the system, and the bank shares, which were worth 1,700 f. in 1838, were lately offered at 475/ It is not to be supposed that there are many persons in England immediately interested in the fate of this re mote bank ; but its short history gcves an instructive picture of a paper system rising into a spurious prosperity, at a time when the country was least prosperous, and then at once exploding and spreading panic around it. The affair is not, however, so singular as some of the writers on the subject imagine. They say the emptiness of the coffers would have reduced a bank is any other part of the world to a sad cilemma, but this expedient of declaring boldly that they would no longer pay their own notes, when the Go vernment was their principal shareholder, seems only a shorter method than that pursued by the American banks, who have friends in the State Legislatures, to authorise suspension, the principle in both cases being precisely the same. Thus the paper system, whateve: changes of form it may undergo, is always an evil wherever it may be ee -1 tablished.— Times.

The weavers intend to manu facture the portraits of the Queen Dowager and the Duke of Wellington. with black and white silk, the white forming the ground ; and when finished, the effect, it is stated, will be, that the portraits will be scarcely distinguished from a paint ing, nothing of a similar description ever having been designed before. WEEPING WLLLOW.—_There seems to be a difference between the growth of the weeping willow in England and in most parts of the Continent. In Eng land the summer does not seem regularly hot enough to develop the full length of its gracefully pendent twigs, which, though they weep always more or less, do not generally hang with that perfect looseness and perpendicularity that distinguish the tree when in pc:fcction. In an English autumn, too, the leaves turn yellow More the natural time of decay; the extremities of the twigs, not being ripened, wither, and the leaves are blown, or it may to said, whipped off them, by our storms, long before they would otherwise drop off. But even in Germany the weeping willow attains its perfectly drooping character, and the leaves remain on till the frost comes, long after those of the native deciduous trees, are withered; THE CONVICT MURRAY:--The - order for the execution of this unfortunate man was received by the Con stable of Chester Castle.

A variety ^f speeches were made in defence of Chartist principles, and ill condemnation of the persecuting spirit of the Whigs. _ _ Mr. Vincent was received with great enthusiasm, and addressed the meeting at considerable length. The following address was presented to Mr. Vincent on be half of the working men and women of Cheltenham. TO MR. H. VINCENT. RESPECTED FRIEND,—The past and the present. as regards your personal exertions in the cause of universal libett7 i lonvey ample cause for pleasing and useful reflec tions. We look back to the early period, when year advo cacy of the people's rights in this neighbourhood called forth the lethargic into the ranks of the industrious, to the time when your mighty energies caused the besotted to become thinking men, and when your astounding ell quenee made the passive slave blush for his insignifi cance, and the audacious tyrant to tremble for his safety. We look back to the past, and trace still fur ther the accompanying results. We saw the iron hand of injustice assailing you...ewe witnessed the struggling contest in a court of law between the oppressor and the oppresSeds We beheld right overcome by might, and we followed yen mournfully to your prison cell. We saw you, though captueed, not conquered ! though confined and manacled, free and unshackled ! elevated in mind, and into human grandeur by your sterling virtues and manly independence. We behold you once more. though beat artd bruised by despotic authority, neither beaten nor disabled, but reanimated and vigorous ; fighting the battles of the people with those moral weapons with which you are so powerfully equipped, and • laughing to scorn the puny efforts of faction or force to impede your progress, or the march of human enlightenment, or human emanci pation. Tour past career conveys a useful and striking lesson to one and all—to you, onreelves, and even to your base and treacherous betrayers and persecutors. To your self as a convincing proof that, contrasting the state of the public mind in the past, with that of its advance ment in the present, hart much good may be achieved by industry and perseverance in the space of a short period of time, the contemplation of which must give fresh impetus to your exertions for the future. To each of us, from the conviction of the necessity and worth of self-improvement arid self-denial of individual exertion and individual patriotism. To your persecutors, as showing the utter contempt which follows the fiat of their vengeance ; that the more they assail the more they lash themselves—the more they persecute the more converts they make to the people's cause—that the more they martyrize individuals so in ratio does the power which upholds them more and more wither and die away. We congratulate you on your release from the fangs of your oppressors ; we hail once more your appearance among us with feelings of the most acute sensibility, with brotherly love, and the most welcome endearments. Go forward, then, and prosper in the great work of human emancipation. It is not the province of such men as you to lie idle—propagate the doctrines of po litical and social improvement, dare tyranny to the combat, and bid defiance to persecution. Desolation sta'ks abroad, the cottage is beset—the dwelling places ofthechildren of industry have been transformed into the receptacles of want, disease, and wretchedness. Misery has beset the man of labour, his habits have become vicious through poverty and bad example, Go forth and drag him from his haunts ; lay him naked before the world's gaze! Force the mari of pleasure into sobriety, and drench the drunkard with his own shame. Much has been done, much is now doing, and yet a great deal more remains to be done. Go you forward and do it : and whilst bat tling with the evils which becloud the mind, forget cot to prepare the mind with food to nurture and console it, whilst you denounce intemperance on the one hand, forget not to assail it on the other, Teach the sober man to think properly by thinking for himself. Attack alike the vices of drunkenness in the individual, and the fanaticism equally which enslaves him ; make him to feel the high office which be holds in creation, to be use ful to others as well as to himself, to secure his own household from invasion, and to protect the rightful inheritance of others. We arc, dear friend, yours most sincerely, THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN OF CHELTENHAM. LECTURE ON THE CORN-LAWS AT OLDHAM. Mr. Paulton, the talented Corn-law lecturer, was in vited to give a lecture in Oldham on Friday evening last, the 16th of April. The large room was com pletely filled. George Barlow, Esq., was called to the chair. Great interest had been excited in the town and neighbourhood by the understanding that the Char- tists, or, in other words, " Little Loaf Advocates," would oppose the lecturer. There was a general muster of them. The platform was covered by the principal tradesmen of the town and neighbourhood, and of di:- ferent political views, yet anxious to support the repeal question by their presence. It was announced that after the lecture, the sense of the meeting would be taken on the propriety of peti tioning. Parliament for a repeal of the present Corn laws, and the lecturer was permitted to go through the lecture without much interruption, in a very lucid and clever manner, clearly demonstrating that the Corn laws were destroyiuEz our trade, filing the country with beggars, reducing the commercial classes and workmen to poverty, sapping the foundation of our manufactories, sending our artizans to other States, and raising up rival and successful competitors, reducing the value of property, and hastening a fearful crisis. The Chartist advocates took the ground, that the repeal of the Corn-laws would not reach the terrible evils under which the labouring community suffered, that taxation was of that fearful and grinding amount, that the Charter could alone cure it ; that the present House of Commons did not represent the feelings nor the views of the toiling millions ; and it was agucd that machinery, by supplanting manual labour, was a curse, instead of a blessing ; and the speakers would tax it for the common benefit. Mr. Paulton ably replied to the views put forward, especially on machinery. Mr. Alexander Toylor, an old staunch Reformer, proposed a repeal of the bread and provision laws, but he was assailed with the most indecent and tyrannical opposition. An amendment was also movo.d for the Five Points, amidst great confusion. The Chairman declared the petition carried, the Char- tists, alias Little Loafers, insisting that the amendment was. Towards tie close of the meeting, the interruption and confusion were positively disgraceful. As the Chartists appear determined to oppose any thing brought forward by any party differing from them, would it not he better for such as mill-owners, employers, illagers, and oth4A-s, who feel an interest in the repeal, to get petitions filled up—say of 20, 30, or even 50 names, and send them to some Member for presentation 7 if ail the advocates would do thi,, (very easy and practicable work) there would be such an array of public opinion, that the supporters of mono poly and oppression would soon be compelled to give way, and the country be, instead of (as at present) a land of mourning and ruin, a land of prosperity and comfort. HAMLET'S BANKRUPTCY. Tuesday morning a special meeting of the credit ors under this fiat took place before Mr. Commissioner Evans, at the Bankruptcy Court, when Messrs. Fry and Loxley, solicitors to the assignees, attended, with Mr. Cockburn, the barrister, for the purpose of exa mining witnesses as to the execution of a trust-deed, and the proceedings connected with the same, given by the bankrupt in 1834. Mr. HUDIFREY attended as Counsel for the trustees. The circumstances were that, in the year 1834, the bankrupt being in great difficulty, he executed an as signment in trust of all his debts, securities, stock iu trade, and freehold and leasehold estates, to John Linnott, of 9, Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane, gold smith ; William Taylor Abut, of St. James's-street, Clerkenwell, refiner ; John Gibbons, of King-street, Clerkenwell, silversmith ; and William Elliott, of Compton -street, silversmith ; for the benefit of them selves and other creditors, whose names were signed to the deed, and who thereby agreed, in consideration of such assignment, to receive the amounts of their respective debts by equal instalments, payable at 12, 16, and 24 months. Amongst the property so assigned were the bankrupt's premises in Princes -street, sub ject to a mortgage of 3,2001. to George Samuel Ford, an attorney ; all the interest of the Honourable Robert King in the " lordships, castles, dismantled abbeys, advowsons, tithes, lands, Sze.," in the c ounty of Roscommon after the dcath of his father, the Right Hon. Lord Lorton, assigned to Hamlet, by way of mortgage ; and two bonds of the Right lion. George Hamilton Chichester, Earl of Belfast, torse curin g the repayment of 23,059/., and 11,2.51/. 13s. There was also included in the deed a debt of 6,0001 . , due from the estate of the late Duke of York ; anoth er of 1 0 ,246/., due from Si r G eorg e B o wyer,Bart. ; a n d a third of 10,000/. due upon the joint and several bonds of John Lindsey Crawford and Robert Lindsey Craw ford. In addition to tilts.; securities so assigned, there were ten shares in the Kensington Canal Company, and all Mr. Hamlet's valuable books and paintings. • Mr. COCKBURN, on the part of th e ass i gnees, de manded from the trustees an account of their collec tions and payments under the trust-deed. They were bound by that deed to keep proper accounts, and ought to be in a situation to show them. It was lout fair to preoume thr,t, as the whole of the debts then due were to be paid within the two years, that the trusts ha:lnm duly executed , and that the trustees could not now claim any interference with the bankrupt's estates. No account was produced ; and EVENING EDITION. -Ur, HUMFREY said that some of the assigned pro perty bad been nno:tgaged by the trustees, who hacf in 'carrcd certain liabilities, which were not yet satisfied. An examination of the trustees as to the perform ance of the trusts was about to take place, when Mr. HUMPREY, on their part, undertook to furnish the assignees with a copy of all bills and other ac counts and transactions in which they had been ea gaged, within a fortnight, which was accepted by Mr.. Cockburn for the assignees, and put an end to the in vestigation. COMMODORE NAPIER. A special meeting of the Town Council of Man chester was held on Tuesday, at half-past three o'clock, in the Borougbreeve's room, Town Hall, "for the pur pose of considering the propriety of presenting a con gratulatory address to Commodore Sir Charles Napier, G. C. 8., on his return to this country ;" the Gallant Commodore having accepted an invitation to a public dinner in the Town Hall. Yesterday alter some dis cussion the following address was agreed to : TO COMMODORE SIR CHARLES NAPIER, K.C.E. We, the Mayor, Alderman, and Burgesses of the borough of Manchester, in Council assembled, beg . most heartily to congratulate you on your return home, after the performance of services which reflect the highest honour on yourself, and redound so much to the advan tage of your country. Whilst we feel that the personal bravery and naval skill you have exhibited in the vari ous operations on the coast of Syria, terminating in the surrender of the important fortress of Saint Jean d'Acre, have never been surpassed, we feel also that this great manufacturing community are espe cially indebted to you for the early termination of the horrors of war, and for the restoration of the inestimable blessings of peace to an empire long so intimately connected with Great Brisain, and the commercial relations with which are of so mud' importance to the community ; nor can we avoid express ing our pride and satisfaction that your character for ia tegrity and straightforwardness should have so much c . entributed to the early termination of disputes which, if [ Hoch longer protracted, might have involved the European powers in a war, the consequences of which would have been most calarnireme to your country. For such services and such conduct, ee doubt not you will receive. from your acarir;ug countrymen and from posterity, those rewards, and r:.krat just raced of praise, you have so eminently earned. The festival of Monday last; fin honour of Com modore Napier, was a just tribute of respoct to that gallant officer, for the conduct and bravery ,lisplayed by him in contributing so largely to the brilliant suc cesses obtained by the British naval forces iri Ore re cent Egyptian war. Such marks of public appeeba tion are the least reward that those who fight the .ra tion's battles are entitled to expect for the toils [ILA clangers they undergo in the discharge of their arduous' duties, And we have a notion that they will prove not less effectual, poor encourager Its attires, than marking the sense of a victory by the adminietration of certain ounces of judicial lead. The' manner in which the occasion passed off, L noreover, - was every way worthy of the town. It was art eppOrtunity for showing how regard for the country's teinown; and au miration for distinguished talents; courage, and enter prise, can triumph over party and personal S.CfOrences ; and we rejoice to say, that men of all shades es opinion united in testifying to Sir Charles 'Napis•kr how highly his eminent valour and services are apprco. ; ated by his countrymen. The allusion to the effect upon Marshal Soult of the courteous attention which he met with on his visit t 0 Liverpool will be received with extreme satisfaction.. And although it must be admitted, that, in eseimating that effect, Sir Charles speaks with the ardour and emphasis of a British seaman, rather than with the rigid exactness of a moral mathematician : yet in principle his observation is no doubt perfectly_ : correct. A statesman who had experiencetd, as Marshal Soak did, the liberal and friendly feeling of the really in fluential classes in England towards Frenee and Freuela mail, would make many efforts to avoid converting a disposition which might be so advantageously cherished,. into one o r t»tter and determined hostility. The same praise which the worthy Commodore bestows upon the politeness of the people of Liverpool, is due ill no small measure to his own expressions regarding the Pacha of Egypt. They will produce a more favourable. impres sion towards that individualthan anything has ) ,It done, and will go far to create and keep alive that go. ed un derstanding between the two countries which ccntiot but tend in the highest degree to the solid benefit' of both. —Liverpool Courier. THE CANI.'EHBURY OUTRAGE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) CANTERBURY, WEDNESDAY M O RNING.---General Sleigh has come here before he was expected, to inspect the Soldiers about to leave for foreign service. He has had an interview with the Mayor, procured a ,c py of the depositions, and afterwards examined Mr. Cle ments, tl:ft puperintendent, and other-metal:oi of the police force. The General laq been pleased to expreOiniself per fectly satisfied that Mayor and 'NewsykW have acted very fairly, and eved with indulgence,towowds the parties, it being said that General Sleigh has sifted out of the police circumstances of agrx - vation that were not gone into at the examination at the Guildhall: When the officers were liberated they adjourned to the Prince of Orange and treated- , the m'n to drink, sang songs, and, us it is alleged, jumped 4 ' Jim% Crow," damaged and broke the tables, chairs, and glasses ; and eventually some of the privates got fighting tog.lther• A bill of between 61. and 71. was incurred, and the next day a civilian called and discharged it. General Sleigh has offered the fullest investigatiom that the Mayor may desire respecting the assault com mitted on him on Saturday, and the insult which was then offered him at the Barracks ; and he has also ex pressed his readiness, if it be requested, to bring for ward singly every man that was out upon leave ou the night of the disturbance, with the view of the gtOlty parties being identified. The Mayor t i es assured the General that he bar not the least de re to act with unnecessary severity in the matter ; and now that the excitement which the af fair created is subsiding, the civil authorities are co operating with General Sleigh in the praiseworthy en deavour of establishing a friendly feeling between the military and the civilians and police. [ls the Mayor of Canterbury a Quaker ? The po licemen were assaulted, the Station-house was forced„ and the Mayor himself disgracefully pusheLl out of the the Barrack-yard at the point of the bayonet, and yet it, appears from the communication of our. Corre spondent that all these insults and outrages are , to be hushed up.] FOREIGN RAILEOADS, RAILROAD BETWEEN PARIS AND THE BELGIAN FRONTIER.—We quote the following from the De bats :—" The Government, eve are informed, has re ceived proposals from eminent capitalists, experienced in railroad undertakings, for commencing immediately the line to the Belgian frontier. They are said to have offered to undertake the line as far as Pontoise, en gaging not to issue shares till after the expiration of twelve months, in order not to interfere with the Mi nister of Finance in his negotiations for the intended loan. For the time being they would not undertake to carry the line beyond Pontoise, but would come t.o a determination early next S ess i on ; an d i n case they' c t o h n e tin r u ig e ht y t r h e e s e r vreoda d, the refuseoul d works at cost pri t p l u ie raa G se ov a e i r l ou th ie e n ir t w ce whenev e r it might please, either on its own account, or that of another Company. During the last conferences on this subject there is said to have been a serious discussion upon the eligibi lity of substituting a line to Creil for that to Pontoise. This would double the distance and make nearly one fourth of the whole line between Paris and Lille. The completion of this project, which is evidently advanta geous to the State and the country, is worthy of all the solicitude of the Ministry and the consideration of the Chambers. It would be a good close to a session, which has turned to profit the doctrines of peace and order, to vote in favour of a vast work of pacification, tending to cement the union between France and Bel gium, and strengthen our position in regard to the rest of Europe. It is, moreover, evident from the unani mous desire of the Chamber and the country to see France come to a positive decision on the question of railroads, that the presentation of a Bill on this subject should not be delayed till the end of the present session." RAILROADS IN GERMANY.—" We are assured," says the Baden G a zette, " that the King of Wuttem berg has givefl„)?4,pssent to the formation of a railroad from Heilbtann 'tt . Friedrichshafen by Ul m , and that the works will betimmediately commenced." RAILROADS IN ITALY.—A Leghorn letter mentions that the Tuscan Government has authorised the forma tion of a railroad from that city to Florence, passing by Pisa.. The works are to be commenced between Leg horn and Fish We learn from Venice that the long bridge which is to be constructed across the Lagunes, from the continent to the city, for the passage of the Mil In railroad, will shortly be commenced. This gigantic construction, which will cost 4,830,000 lire (or 3,671,400 francs), is to serve as an aqueduct :at the same time, an d 2 , this means Venice will be furnished with a constant supply of fresh water. D Airing the late terrific bales in • the Adam_ ~ a seaman in the American packet-ship Philadelphia had the misfortune to fall from the rigging and break both his thigh bones, one of which wasclose to the hip, and a com pound fracture. To the credit of her attentive commander, Captain E. E. Morgan (the sea at the time rolling moun tains high, and the vcsrel having been labouring in a hurricane for several days), he had the humanity to do his best to save the u nfortunate mariner. He at once took upon himself the office of surgeon in promptly reducing the bones of both legs. The seaman did very well ; and, incredible as it may oppear, a cure was effected. On the ship's arrival in London, the suf , and Was told he was ferer was csnveyed to an hospciatpal tain. not being content going i:ti o , i n s, v , o e o l l k .
