FINSBURY -RETORIVI CLUB. At a MEETING held at the Belvidere Tavern, Pen tonville, May 17, 1841, WILLIAM NICHOLSON, Esq., in the Chair, Resolved —That the Corn.laws ate highly detrimental to the well-being of this country, and press heavily upon the labour ing portion of the community, depriving the poor man of the means of comfort to which he is justly entitled, and rendering the home of industry the abode of penury and privation. That this Meeting views with satisfaction and gratitude the exertiens made by her Majesty's Ministers to remove the ob :tractions to the prosperity of the nation, to abolish monopoly, and encourage free trading; and cannot omit this opportunity of expressing its indignation a t th e a tt em pt ma d e by th e Tories and their allies to continue the present laws for aggrandize ment of the landowners and other monopolists, regardless of the misery of their fellow-ereatures. That it is desirable to obtain the aid and assistance of all Reformer% in this Borough, and those who have not. already enrolled themselves in the Finsbury Reform Club are invited to do so without delay, an early dissolution of Parliament being anticipated.

Reid gave the introductory lecture to his course on the chemistry of the atmosphere, at Willis's Rooms. The principal object for which Dr. Reid contends is the institution of elementary lessons in practical chemistry in all schools and academies, as an in ' troduction to the study of physical science, and insists strongly upon the pupils being called upon to per form experiments themselves. The accompanying ex tracts from a printed statement which he has circulated ' embrace the principal points to which he more particu larly refers : Chemistry stands on grounds altogether peculiar, when con sidered as a branch of general education, from its practical relation to the materials that affect man every moment during the whole period of his existence. No one can study the phenomena of respiration,—the nature and varieties of atmosphere to which the human frame is exposed,—the theory of combustion—the communication of heat—the pro duction of artificial light—the purification of water—the evo lution of poisonous gases, and other deleterious impurities— or any portion of the infinite variety of facts which this science has pointed out or explained, without seeing the im portant position which it bears to the general economy and management of the means provided by the Author of Nature for the existence and the comfort of man. Every one in reality is more or less a practical chemist, whe ther he shall study chemistry systematically or not ; and the question therefore is, how far in the present state of society it may be proper to introduce, as a general branch of education, a course of such select illustrations as may enable all to be come familiar with those facts connected with this science that influence the comfort and economy of daily life. Such courses would have the advantage of awakening the mind of the young pupil to a more precise understanding of the nature of the material world in which he is placed ; and thus he would be led to connect with the explanations given in the .school-room, a large share of the phenomena of nature and of art, of which, under ordinary circumstanc s, he is corn parativel unobservant from the want of a proper key. They have net been recommended without a fair trial of their practicability. Several years ago courses were given to upwards of a thousand persons, from different schools and aca demies, with a view of determining details, and it is submitted that were arrangements made for their general introduction, an expenditure of a very trifling sum each school would be suffi cient to provide aparatus for illustrating the more important and essential points in chemistry connected with the gen era l preservation of hea th, the economy and management of fuel, and the various departments of this science that are contin ually forced upon the attention in every class of society. It is not contemplated to engage his attention with compli • cated instruments, but to render him familiar with the use of more simple apparatus, such as he will have no difficulty in experimenting with after a little practice, while, at the same time, it would be sufficient for all the illustrations required, and be provided by the manufacturer within the sum that has been mentioned. In all the schools where such trials have hitherto been made the pupils entered eagerly into the prescribed exercises. They were evidently, when properly arranged, congenial to their in clinations and adapted to their capacities. One hour a week, for one session, would be sufficient to lay . a good foundation, were no more time granted. And when the illustra tions shown by the teacher - are conjoined with a system of practical lessons in testing with flat glass apparatus, the ope rations in n hich the pupils engage individually afford a mental exercise of great practical importance, while they train, in early life, those that perform them to habits of precise and accurate observation. • The union of a certain amount of practice with the theory of the subjects taught, however simple the arrangements by which all the pupils are enabled to join in this department, has been found of great importance in carrying these views into effect. The pupil then, as Chaptal has well observed of those who engage ie experiments, '• sees in his practice the confirmation of all that is told him ; he refers all that is said to all that he does ; be compares the theory with his own operations, and, in a manner, identifies it with them." Again, such courses would not only be i m p or t ant i n econo mizing he means and increasing the comforts of the poor, but would prove equally advantageous to other classes of society. Further, they have become essential for young persons in tended fur professions where a knowledge of physical science is necessary, as from the great progress now made in all its branches without some previous training in elementary schools, it would be as impossible to expect the medical man, the engi neer, the architect, the manufacturer, and all who are profes tionally interested in science, to obtain that amount of informa tion from the usual course of education which is now required, as it would be for any one to attain a proper rank as a scholar, or a mathematician, were he never to enter upon the study of classics or mathematics till he should join a University. Even new, in some professions, it is observed that the period of pro fessional education is not adapted to the present state of science, and if elementary instruction, in some branches at least, he not provided systematically in schools and academies, an- extended period must be allotted to it at a future time, which would bear heavily on the means and resources of the advanced stu dent, or College and University courses must be kept at a low par compared with the ground they would take were professors not compelled, as they too often are at present, to begin their courses with the most simple and elementary facts, which might be taught more advantageously before the pupils come to them. Chemistry, accordingly, may be affirmed to have claims upon general attention which no other branch of physical science presents ; and it is also to be considered, from the cognisance which it takes of the composition of matter, as the basis of other branches which can be associated with it afterwards in each peculiar insfftution as local circumstances may de termine. Were the above suggestions carried into effect, a great mass of information in reference to health, confined among a com paratively small number at present, would in the course of a very few years be much more generally diffused throughaut the country, and then perhaps additional and more willing as sistance might be calculated upon in carrying out the details of all public measures for the improvement of health, particularly in that class of society whose want of means and of informa tion render them most obnoxious to those causes of disease which can be alleviated — orTemoved - 19 y care and attention. Nor ought it to be forgotten that these means would establish, at the same time, opportunities which might enable emigrants to acquire a knowledge of numerous facts that must be highly valuable to them after they leave their native country, though perhaps the establishment of a few local schools for this pur pose, in the principal ports from which they embark, would also be desirable. The Lecture was illustrated by a number of experi ments. The l ec ture-table is raised upon an e x t ens i ve platform about' th irty - feet in length, with a large fl ue or tube extending - . all its length , through which, by nume rous communications, air can be drawn from any p art of the table. At the extreme end of the table, on the right ofthe.Lecturer, there is a large glass model of. the Pre lent.House of Commons, and on the left h and another model is placed, which ascending an d d escending movements in the air are made palpable by communica ting various vapours to them. In the centr e is placod the principal apparatus for producing movements in the air, more especially , a powerful f urnace, such as is used at the Houses of I arliament, and a fanner similar to those employed in the Niger steam-ship s ; these are used a lt e rnately in conducting the experimental illustrations.

CHRONICLE.—No contrast could be more striking than that between the speeches of Lord Palmerston and Sir Robert Peel, on Tuesday night. Lord Palmerston applied himself boldly to the question, which he discussed in the most fearless and un reserved manner. His positions were conceived with clearness, and his deductions were close and irresistible. His language, too, did justice to his thoughts. There was no wire-drawing —no overlaying —every sentence, ev ery c l ause, was pregnant with meaning. Sir Robert Peel, on the other hand, was con stantly looking two nays. He was constantly steering between opposite prineples, say mg one moment and umaying the next; and though it was impossible to refuse him the ;need of clever ness and tact, yet the cleverness was often wasted on matters of secondary importance, and a' the close of his long speech the hearer found it difficult to form to himself anything like a dis tinct idea of what the Right Hon. Baronet had been so laboii ously advancing. The effect of Lord Palmerston's speech, on the other hand," was distinct and unbroken. Every proposi tion went distinctly home to the hearer, and the indistinct im pressions left by Sir Robert Peel were dispelled by it, as the images of night are by the light of the morning. TIMES.—As the Melbourne Ministry, during the last fire years, have spun out a wretched existence by all sorts of dis creditable shifts, so, in the prospect of that ignominious exit which now stares them in the face, they seem determined, like other incorrigibles, to die desperately hard, or rather, if possi ble, to postpone and evade their fate. Indeed, their entire career, from their first alliance with . O'Connell down to the sudden concoction of their panic budget, presents nothing more than a uniform course of mean and dishonest expedients, resorted to for the one sole purpose of providing for their fami lies, and of prolonging their official subsistence. Their confede racy with the Irish Agitator was originally formed, not because they approved of it on principle, but because in their notorious weakness and necessities it was indispensable to their selfish designs. Could they have obtained a venal English majority, equally disposed to keep them in power at the price of so many measures per Session fashioned to that majority's mind, the Irish Tail would have been as much defied and scouted as, on the contrary, it has been courted and caressed. Principle has been wholly out of the question. In point of fact, they mor tally hate O'Connnell, because his dear-bought connection with them is at once the badge and the usurious premium of their neediness. They detest the fellow's bullying and extor tions—but they are fain to submit to them, because without O'Connell they would have been without office, without palace favours, without the public purse, and without the re quisite_patronage to pen; ion their rap ac i ous c li que. ADVERTISER._Pending the solution of the question— to resign or to dissolve ?—all others lose, fora moment, their im portance. To-night will probably bring the announcement of the result of the deliberations of the Government, and an intimation of its future course. We await, with anxiety, this result, not doubting what it should be, yet fearing lest by some mischance, that which is so much to be desired may unfortu nately not be accorded. We believe, however, that the pro bability is, that the Government will persevere in laying be fore Parliament and the country the several measures which compose the Budget, especially the proposed inodifi- . cation of the Com-laws, and that, if defeated on them, it will dissolve Parliament and appeal to the country. This the course desired by the great majority of the party. have . ..o 7.. i ez u S e i d j , u t s i t te a and ill ; t. t u P i ported the Government, and it is c a o t ti o r_ n_ o e c e b . most prudent ; for, if a contrary tation of the Tories, that their Itiea.sures have been taken P up for the occasion, will appear IQ have been well-founded, whi:e ity ovn it is due to the people to give them a n o eating their own rights,- if the Government bet unable f to i givdi e effect to them by AVIV other mean s. HERALD.—Ae Ally national agitation, the Corn-law emeute is a most miserable piece of imposture, and is as mueh indebted to the inventive powers of those whose especial delight it is to magnify it as a momentous struggle, as the siege of Troy was to the poetical genius of Homer. Where is the gathering of the masses to be seen ? Where is the concentration of the vex populi to be heard? An Irish echo, which is p rover b ia l f or giving corr e et answers, would reply hardly anywhere ! Meet ings there arc in abundant:, which the pets of the practised reporter by habit (for we need not impute the exaggeration to anything worse) styles numerous and respectable ;" but where are the public meeting public in the sense that the existence of a peat national agitation would imply? Of the few which have been called, be it observed, the anti-Corn law party have been defeated at more than they have suceeded, as at Sunderland, Birmingham, &c., and no wonder, therefore, that thep are extremely cautious in running the risk of anything like a fair and comprehensive demonstra tion of public opinion. Their resource is to get up the sem blance of an agitation by knots and sections--to pack the small dining-room of an hotel as in Westminster, or to huddle to gether in a school-room as at Stourbridge, or to take refuge in a hired committee Teem as at Edinburgh. But a hundred such picked and packed meetings altogether no more make one public meeting than a hundred black rabbits would make one black horse. POST.—M'hat will happen next? The Ministers have been soundly beaten in the House of Commons upon a ques tion which immediately concerns the means of carrying on the Government. They have been beaten—not by surprise —not upon any uncoesidered question —not in a House of in sufficient numbers to give the sense of the whole—but they kave been beaten after, perhaps, the longest debate upon re cord—after the fullest consideration of the question—and in a House where more than 600 out of the 658 Members were actually present ! What next ? Strange that it should be left to us to ask. It is a disgrace to the Administration that there should be anything like a public doubt upon the subject. W hat next ? Why, what can be, but resignation of office ? The Ministerial party have often taunted their opponents that they, even if in office, could not govern the country. That is matter of conjecture, but we apprehend it is no matter of conjecture now, but matter of fact, that the present Ministers cannot govern the country. How can they, when the very first of the pro posed means for raising the necessary moneys for the public expenses has been rejected by a decisive majority of the while House of Commons ? They may say what they will of their opponents, but their own time for turning out has at all events come. They cannot go on with the Government. To at tempt desperately to cling to office after the power of govern ing had been thus taken away by the House of Commons, would, we imagine, lead to consequences which even these in fatuated Ministers would not like to face. They have already done much to produce the deep disgust of the people of Eng land--let them beware of that people's indignation. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—There is a peculiar class-interest in the City, known under the appellation of " bullio n dealers," very much alarmed that the repeal of the Corn-laws would have the effect of raising the price of gold, to send abroad in payment of the food that would then be imported. We are rather in clined to suspect that " the wish is father to the thought " with this class of gentlemen, and may, perhaps, be at the bottom of their fears for the position of the old lady of Threadneedle -street when the people of this country are—as relieved they certainly soon must be—from the fetters of the cursed bread-tax. There is great fallacy in the assumption that a fixed duty on Corn would drain the Bank of England, but; the heresy is neverthe less not confined to the money clr.ngers. A member of the Common Council yesterday asked, " Did honourable gentle men want to bring the Bank of England again to such a de graded position as that its governors should have to go again on their knees to beg assistance of the Bank of France ?" And there are many persons who entertain the same erroneous belief ; some affect to believe it, no doubt, who know better, in order to gain their own ends ; but others, perhaps, give a fair and honest credit to the statement. They would not do so, we are persuaded, if they considered the question in its true sense. The drain of gold in 1839, which compelled the Bank of England to apply for a loan from the Bank of France, was no doubt produced by the bad harvest of 1838; but the pressure on the Bank coffers was greatly increased- by their own blunders, keeping money cheap, and increasing their notes in circulation after they saw the deficiency of the home growth attempting in short, as usual, to fill up the gap in their gold by an expansion of the currency. The radical miktake of that system of management has been so often exposed, that it will not, probably, occur again. If the Foreign Exchanges be in future unfavourable, we shall confi dently expect to find that the Directors of the Bank of Eng land will promptly reduce their circulation, and, by so ope rating on prices, assist in giving a favourable torn to the balance of trade. If they adhere to that rule of conduct, they will find themselves better able to grapple with any similar emergency, and render a recurrence of it to the same extent almost impossible, because the ready fall of prices in this country would send back the gold for goods to the English market, or prevent it from leaving the country. These re mark's would apply if the country were to be prohibited under the iron grip of the present prohibitory systoni, which cramps and cripples all its energies and powers of production ; but when we come to consider how the Foreign Exchanges would stand under a system of free trade, and more especially under a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn, we shall find that such a state of things would be much more in favour of this country. The clear and natu ral result of it would be to steady the supply and demand, and to equalize prices. It might at first be supposed that when the Bs. duty came in force there would be an immense extent of orders sent out for foreign corn, and that these orders would necessarily be paid for in gold, thus draining the Bank and turning the exchanges against this country. But the substitu tion of a fixed duty for a sliding scale, would not produce such a consequence. It unquestionably would strengthen the Bank of England when the system had time to operate, because the corn would then be paid for by British manufactured goods. At the commencement of the new system, the amount of orders fur importation would depend upen the price of the homeht shillings was t o take effect at present, when the average price being about 645. to 68s. the duty is 225. Bd., there would be a diminution of duty on foreign corn at once of 14s. Bd. But the price of best Dantzic at present at that port is about 385., and the result of the change would in crease that price considerably, so that if we add 6s. for freight and charges, and allow for factor's commission and the expenses, besides the fixed duty, the price at which it could be sold in the home market would not be under 545. ; and it is to be remembered that the best foreign wheat is in ferior both in weight and fineness, to our English wheat. We should, therefore, have a reduction in the price, of perhaps eight shillings a quarter on our growth, or about half the amount of the difference of duty. The price, then, of Eng lish wheat would be about 565. a quarter ' • and while there was a sufficient supply o f it at about that price, there would be no occasion to send much gold out of the country, to impost an inferior article from abroad; ai least the people would not be obliged to buy it Air food ; and it is not likely . that speculators h w ai o j ul .. t rim the risk of importing it to keep in bond to wait a a e use The bonding trade would be materially diminished, the price, being no longer subject to the fraudu l len averages, importers would not require to keep hand. They could at all times deliver their shipments Under the proposed to supply the demand under a fixed duty. a rgest g o n c i k ek o l n y change in the Cor n -l aws th e B an k onlywouiddin th be e c e al v i e e i d it ul o )o f n a , even in the first insta nce , t o find j scarcity of- the home supply.

PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRTACUM is intended to relieve those persons w ho, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to toe consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms tha., betray its approach, as the various affections of the nervous system, obstinate gleets, invo luntary emissions, excesses, irregularity, obstructions of certain evacuations, weakness, total incompetency, barrkinness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy means e relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the ye!' manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the digestive organs, and is especially recom mended to those who, from the irregularities of youthful age, habits of studious application, or a life of pleasure, have fallen into a despondent state of mind, and that distressing train of symptoms commonly denominated the nervous. In such per sons the mental are not less enfeebled than the corporeal powers, and to them a remedy that acts with efficacy, without interfering with domestic habits, is peculiarly desirable.

An offer was made on behalf of the National Breakwater Company to lay down at their own expense one section, 60 feet in length, off.the Pier, as a proof of the efficacy of the in vention, and that two others of the same dimensions should be laid down for 1,0001. The gentlemen present expressed their thanks to Captain Tayler for the offer and we understand endeavours will be made to raise the. required sum. One section will at all events be laid down, and from that some opinion can be fhrmed of the! .utility of theinvention generally, and of its fitness for. Brighton.

The subscribers, inhabitants of this city, proprietors of urban and rural es t a t es , approac h y ou r Excellency with the most profound respect, in virtue of the invitation ad dressed to this vicinity, in the proclamation which was published on the Occasion of your assuming the govern ment of the island, respectfully declaring that one of the principal exigencies, if not the greatest and must urgent required from the chief bfits actual situation, is an ener getic and irrevocable provision for the perpetual suppres sion of the contraband traffic in slaves from Africa. The memorialists, who are intimately acquainted with the material interests of Cuba in all their details, and with the best mode of preserving and securing them in the distressing crisis in which the island is involved, are intimately convinced that the only means of arresting the storms with which they are threatened, are to be found in what they have recommended to your Excel lency's superior discretion. The two corporations, the most respectable in the Havannah, viz., the most excel lent and most illustrious " Ayuntamiento," and the Ito lal " Junta de Fomento," are of the same opinion, and have thus addressed themselves to the Provisional Regency of the Kingdom, with reasons and arguments worthy of all consideration. The slave trade is the sole and exclusive cause of the displeasure with which the increasing agricultural and commercial prosperity of this island is regarded by all-powerful England, and that trade is the real or appa rent motive for its having become the target of her di plomatic hostility. It is the slave trade which has excited the philanthro pic susceptibility of the powerful and numberless aboli tionists of England, who loses no opportunity. by word and writing, in books, periodicals, and newspapers, in private society, and in legislative assemblies, to address themselves to the" British Cabinet, in order that ours may be required at any price to consent to the perform ance of our treaties. It is for the sake of the suppression of the slave trade that the British Government has solemnly recognized the independence of the neighbouring republic of Hayti, from whence we are exposed to a degree of injury, com mitted with perfect impunity, which it horrifies the ima gination to conceive. It is on account of the slave trade that two active and enterprising envoys of the British and Foreign Society established in London for the destruction of slavery wherever it is to be found, have presented themselves in Spain; without any disguise, to the imminent peril of our tranquillity, for the general emancipation of our slaves, and we are already aware that in Madrid they have met with a very favourable reception, as they tell us themselves, and as is to be inferred from the articles which have appeared, without any impediment, in the metropolitan press, on a question, the mere agitation of which in public has opened the door to'the most serious calamities. It is by the slave trade that the number of our natural enemies within the island is daily increased, according to the statistical information contained in the "Stranger's Guide for the Havannah," of the present year, they now amount to 660,000 persons of colour, or about 60 per cent. of the whole population, leaving only about 40 per cent. of whites. In the year 1775 the coloured inhabit ants formed no more than 36 per cent. of .the general po pulation, so that since that period the whites have pro portionally and progressively decreased, to the extreme point in which they now appear, while the negroes have gained the relative ascendancy. It appears, therefore, as the result of that providential law deducible from these statistical facts,' that the increase of the servile is destined to prejudice the increase of the dominant race ; since such has been the result observed by able statisti,- cians in the other West India Islands, and in the empire of Brazil, from whence the celebrated Humboldt and De Tocqueville have drawn the most disconsolate horo scope of the future fate of the white inhabitants of other countries similar situated. And it is the slave trade which is the efficient cause of this melancholy phenomenon. It is on account of the slave trade that the emigration of Europeans has not been increased, as, for our future welfare it ought to have been, under .the written provisions of the Royal cedula of the 21st of September, 1817, under the contri bution of 4 per cent., imposed for its increase on the ex pense of the judicial proceedings, and under the Com mittee established for promoting it. During the quinquennial period, from 1835 to 1839, there entered 35,203 white Passengers at the port of Havannah, where they generally arrive, one half of whom, as mere travellers, would probably not remain. During the same period there were landed on the coast of this western department only the moderate propor tion of G 3,055 negroes from Africa. Hence it follows, that if future events should proceed in the same career, we shall be compelled, in a very few years, to lament, without the means ofraress, over the disastrous and in evitable consequerices which, thanks to our own apathy, and our incomprehensible want of foresight, are destined to overwhelm us. And this, most Excellent, Sir, is not all. Let us cast a glance only over the countries which surround us. The firmest mind may well tremble to contem plate the dense mass Of negroes which so horribly ob scure our horizon. Nine hundred thousand are to be found to the eastward in the military republic of Hayti, with disciplined armies, and holding at their dispo sal the whole means of transport which Great Bri tain has to give. To the south there are 400,000 in Ja maica, who wait only the signal of their proud liberators to fly to the rescue in our eastern mountains ; 12,000 at least are scattered over the Bahama Archipelago, and the islands in our immediate neighbourhood, where as many more have been placed by British policy from the captures which have been made at the expense of the trade to this island. And, setting aside the condition of the slaves of the French West India islands, which are now on the eve of emancipation, let us turn our eyes to wards the north, in the direction of the Capes of Florida, and the ports of Louisiana, Georgia, and the Carolinas, which place is almost in contact with the continent where nearly 3,000,000 of negroes are presented to us—a number so immense as to excite alarm, not in Cuba only, but throughout the whole American confederation, whose very heart is, sooner or later, to be : in consequence con vulsively agitated and devoured. Sad to us will be the day when this event occurs, if we do not prepare our; selves deliberately in due time, nay, this very day, for the tremendous explosion. This is so urgent, most Excellent Sir, that, although it were certain, as many erroneously suppose, that the ad vance of our agriculture would be paralysed without the aid of negro labour, we ought immediately to prefer to live in poverty, but security, rather than:with blind cupi dity aspiring to seize a rich harvest for a single year, ' expose ourselves the next to lose, not only this, but all that has preceded it, together with the soil, the machinery, and the whole territory of the island, in one general in surrection of the negroes, so easily stirred up and in flamed by cunning emissaries, and fed in our very fields by those elements of . combustion which will be thrown upon the fire from the great centres of rebellion which surround us on every side. But fortunately for - the island of Cuba, for its present inhabitants, and for the interests of. the mother country, it has not been condemned by Heaven, nor by the stern law of nature, to the necessity of cultivating its fertile soil by the sweat of African brows. This was the notion entertained in a former age when the most fatal errors were regarded as axioms ; but for the men.of - the pre sent day it is a duty to correct the economical and social mistakes of our ancestors. And guided by the light of experience, and by the prodigious progress which human reason has made in these latter times in all branches of knowledge, we shall doubtless succeed in accomplishing their correction. Already in the central portion of the island the glorious career of agricultural reform has been opened by 'a son of our industrious Catalonia. He, however, and all who follow his excellent example, must expect to have to struggle for some time to come with the in numerable obstacles which habit, prejudice, bad faith, and, above all, the deleterious influence of the slave trade, will oppose to them ; for it is in that traffic al one thatt tu,ey . t memorialists e stated into beseco ec n h sidera thai 7e are .to seek forthe origin of a ll th e ev il s b y w hi c h ~ we are ass;,' your l ed• he hav It is for this 1 . , ..: , ,150n tEioxnc.elleNncoyt to offend ta take : ciyour _vcellency' s hi g h i n t e lli gence, nor anticipate what your prude n c e loimok iliii,:trious chief by willdrial r i e e f t e a r t s e , in thhe whom is regerved the precious rellet of the p imm.i o l.v jili r tic:i t lti a i,li n lcho t tingh a fe ft iyhd li oe i a r niir s coeeu t( ilr i i .lo w owt l f i h i g c eso h this nrvaeetserldhileitidl i ito n t e to n hth i ie Spanish Indies from the precipice whose brink it over looks. • THE LATE T. —. —E. L.—The intense anxiety that so long and so universally prevailed as to the mys terious and melancholy circumstances which attended the, death of the most popular female poet England has ever produced, is as it is ever ! no w set at rest, So f ar ," in which every particular that has reached her own relatives and Vi e . a t n o d b L e i , t, e r b a y r y the i ze m p a u i b n l s i coaf andon tion MissofL Mr. Illanchard's mostintimate friends, is frankly and fearlessly given to the world. The story is one of absorbing interest, and would attract universal attention to the work even if it were not, as it is, - a most graceful and touching piece,of biography.

FEMALE LECTURERS.—Last week two stran ger ladies delivered lectures on Tee-totaliss a in the South Seces sion meeting-house, Perth, and so successful had they been in making converts, that at th e concl usion of one of th e l ec t ures no less less than '2OO females enrolled themsel ves un d er t h e ban ner of total abstinence by si g nin g tile Pledge.

When the stipple on the Continua and in /One- - rice, however, came to find its level with the increased demand he fall would be greater. But that is a tr4ter, heyonkitir, present purpose and our province. It is cootie' for' us to state here that if the fixed duty of Bs. be carried, the people are sure of a cheap leaf, and phiity of employment for the manu facturing population. Consider, on the other hand, what would be the consequence of persevering in the present prohibitory system. The tight ness of the Money Market would necessarily continue with stagnation of trade. There would be constant but ineffectual endeavours to bolster up the Exchanges, and to give them a healthy feature, while the bullion, at somet hi ng under 5,000,0001., no t half what it ought to be, and, with another bad harvest, would be totally incapable of enabling the Bank to weather the storm. Sir; Robert Peel must entertain a very low opinion of the intellect of the people of England if he suppose they will he deluded by his assumed prosperity of the manCacturing inte rests, deduced from a reference to the figures of exports. There is not a weaver in any of our maim acturii,g towns who does not know that the increase is confuted to arti cles in which the lowest amount of labour is expended, and that in the highest quality of manufactured goods there is a yearly and a steady decline which the opening up of our Aus tralian world is unable to compensate, and which the shutting up of the Brazil and American markets would most ruinously increase. A change from monopoly to free trade is essmtial to the safety of the Bank of England. TIMES.—The debate on the sugar duties, which entirely absorbed public attention, having at length come to a con clusion, people in the City are beginning to turn their thoughts to foreign affairs, especially to the present position of the Regent of Spain, which is naturally interesting to the great body of creditors in this country. The gnat point of discussion is whether Espartero will be able to main , tain his position, and whether, which is nearly the same question, Spain is to have any or no government. The• principal mercantile houses who communicate with Spain, and are most careful in watching the opera tions in that unfortunate country, seem to agree in the opi nion, that while there would have been no possibility of main taining a Government had three Regents been appointed, there is that possibility now, though it is a possihility only, which none seem inclined to think amounts to a probability. Although he owes his political existence to a revolution, it is generally agreed on that the revolutionary party will be the one which Espartero will have to dread, while to the Conser vatives he must look for support, since, although prior to the events of September they were his natural enem , es, they alone from their stake in the country, and the inamtenance of order, feel the necessity of upholding existing authority, whatever dislike they may harbour against the person in vi hose hands it is lodged. The election of the Regeucy itself is sufficient to show that this opinion is not basely formed, as the, more moderate party were to be found amqng the Unitariatie, while the Trinitarians were composed of the ultra-democrats. On the Conservatives, then, it is said, Espartero must re'l, an d must further resolve that revolutions shall proceed further, not only for the sake of the country, but roc 'personaLl con siderations, since a fresh movement, while it, revived anarchy, would probably remove him from power, and consign him to the fate of the many who have been by turns the leaders ars:t victims of popular insurrections. The list of the Ministry t4s expected with anxiety, and mush, it is believed, will depens' an the choice made by the Regent, since of himself, th-ougji.c.. one doubts his firmness, resolution., and in abOrt o u t ibi s alitAle as a soldie r , it i s believed he wool s t n.:ltt act without assistance, from th e wan t o f that his arduous military life, 'mental cultivatio n whiteb has precluded. I n a °" cow in his earliest year., ds, the soldier is th ou h t superior to tb^ aVi WM' • statesman. Even with a p ower f ul Cabinet, is• - _ is believed b e w i i l mee t w i t h th e strongest opposi - in both Houses of the Legislature, especially the lower one, and the only expedient course will be te prorogue the Cost. s for a while, testing the disposition of the Members before they are allowed to act, and, in the event of discovering that all chance of working with them is utterly hopeless, to come to a dissolution, and use what influence he he's at the elections. The army, fortunately fol. Espartero, seem, to 1)4? in his favour, and in this and the Conservatives his strengtl. wit depend, while the formidable opposition will be found in the various municipal authorities, and all those who am more or less imbued with the republican spirit. Thus, the mer chants who se o pi n i on i s h ere set f ort h agree that reliance can be placed nowhere else than on the firmness and intelligence et Espartero and his Government, though whether reliance cart be placed even there all seem inclined to doubt. The unwill ingness of Spaniards of property to settle in their own country is an important index of their real view of the present state of things. POST.— the result of the debate of the last eight day s in Parliament has been considered here most decisive. It is thought impossible that, after so signal a demonstration of the public feeling, the Melbourne party can pretend to cling to. office a moment longer. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have passed a reso jlution that will, we should think, be found lo operate very inconveniently for brokers and others having business to ten saet in the public funds ; but such is the wisdom of the gentle men of the Committee—such the solicitude they manifest upon all occasions for the intere a of the public, and for the maintenance of the institution over which they preside in its primitive and immaculate purity—that we doubt not they must have some unanswerable argument to offer in jva. tification of the measure. They have just decreed that the quotations contained in the official lists published at one and four o'clock respectively, may, in future, be added to, or altered, at the pleasure of members requiring it, upon the authority of their written representations. A nem her of reports of the movements of the House, founded upon the prices recorded in the official tables, go forth at irregedav d awnhdiedhesapraetceltuniodito,adll n r o c p e o Ipi sr,eptahreinegonftoerntsthoef hstnval s . At t we l ve o ' clock, Gar instance, lists are made up, i p n al t . h ts e correspondence rr t e h s e p on n d e e t country, Paid the foreign mails, some of which close early in the day. Now, as any alteration made in the official lists between twelve o'clock and one goes directly to falsify the advices pre viously given of the state of the funds, it is quite evident that bankers and others residing at a distance will find a diffi culty in reconciling the discrepancies which they can not fail to discover, from time to time, between the quotations forwarded to them by their brokers or agents, and those eventually introduced into the official publication. Parties sitting down at three o'clock in the af ternoon with the lists before them, to give their friends in the country, or on the Continent, a fair and detailed statement o`- . what would app:ea r to have passed at the Stock Exchange ups to that hour often find, on the distribution of the pripted document at four, the whole of it invalidated by subsequent interpolVnona. What object this change in the practice of the house is intended to answer does not strike us, but, as we have Were intimated, the sages of the Committee can doubtless tarnish good and sufficient reasons for its adoption. HERA Lll.—For some days past there is been a difficulty in money affairs, that is in raising money, which has been severely felt in many quarters. This morning the rates of money we, as high on accredited seculities as even to eight per cent. Bnf towards the chase of the Stock Market there was a greater easi ness in money matters, although money was still scarce mei-, not to be had under six per cent, in the best quarters, and cr.a good securities. SUN.—The report that Lord J. Russell would perhaCii resort to a dissolution, had the effect of creating a great. demand for money, but before the day terminated more ease was felt in this respect. The same cause affected also the value of the public securities, which, howewr, were higher this afternoon than during the Consols for immediate transfer brought 90 to 89i, ts.;. for the Account 90 to 894. Exchequer Bills were ls. • 6s. premium, being a fluctuation indicative of the pressure that existed ; and India Bonds were at 3s. discount its par. Bank Stock took rather a wide range also, bang quoted 167 to 1681. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 9St to -4 1 ; and the Reduced Three p,_:= Cents. at 881 to 884. The %reign securities continued fat. Spanish Activ , Bonds were 234 to 23i. for Money, and 234 to for Ac count. Portuguese New Five per Cents. were Mexican Bonds were not higher than 28i to ; Peruvl brought only 16i to ; Colombian were at 22:k ; tied Chilian at 614- ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half p er C ents. were dull at 52 a ; and the Five per Cents. at 99i toi. The Railway Shares all ranged rather lower, being affected by the prevalent scarcity of money. The importance of the fisheries carried on by our North American colonies, is too well known to sail who are at all conversant with the matter, to require elucidation ; and we are glad to find that the subjectlios been taken up in earnest by the Legislature of Nova Scotia. We trust that this is but the prelude to Worn) active measures on the part of the Home Government; and in order to give some idea of the necessity thereof, we subjoin a small portion of the very interesting Report of the Committee appointed by the Nova Scotia Lep lature, to inquire into the condition and prospects of-the fisheries:— _ " Your Co mm itt ee f ur th er report t h at the export. !' fish from Nova Scotia, by the official returns made unck r the order of this House, in the year ending the sth' of January last, amounts to 327,026 quintals of dry fist ; 71,676 barrels, and 1,137 tierces and 3,643 kits of pickled fish ; 27,755 boxes of smoked fish ; 2,553 bar rels, 4,661 casks of oil ; and 1,735 seal skins, and tw,, casks of seal skins, the value of which exceeds 500,0001., and the taking of which employed upwards of 60,000 tons of shipping. " The Committee have procured a statistical table, showing the extent of the fishing interests in Massa chusetts, the Stat e p r i nc i pa ll y engage d in this branch of commerce, whence it appears that for the year eliding Ist April, 1837 (since which no authentic report appears to have been made), the catch was 510,554 quintals of cod fish, valued at 1,569,517 dollars, and 234,059 barrels of mackerel, valued at I,639,o42d:llGarosliernemmpil:y4in: 1,290 vessels, and 11,146 h an ds ; and this business Is in creasing yearly, b e i ng c herished by the tending to advance the commerce of the Republic, and s., furnish seamen for its defence, while the British fisheric,, receive no pecuniary encouragement, but little protection, and are left entirely to indivulual enterprise ; subject fluctuation, and deprived by the local Legislature of taining• provisions and supplies duty free, , a -boo n tended by the Imperial Government. fortune in the valley of the Alississipi- by kee is making Too GOOD TO BE SWALLO'WED.--A Yan -1 h ff i e e table pills for the cum of fever and %mu, s eiii n . pure.y Yen The pills are peas, soaked in a solutio'n 0; and oiher e 1 New Fork if I d " ~ I'm blowed O, as the trumpet st , yea Advertiser. give a tune.—Yankee Paper. .
