STAFFORD AND RUGBY RAIE,WAY COMPANY.—At a GENERAL MEETING of the Subscribers to the Company;held at the Company's Offices. 23 , Bond-street, Manchester, (01 Tuesday, the 10th day of A ugust, 1841, pursuant to a public notice in that behalf from the Provisional Directors of the said Company, ROBERT GARDNER, Esq., Chairman of the Provisional Directors, in the Chair : The Directors' Report havng been read, the following Reso lutions were unanimously adopted : On the motion of JAXES Butt; Esq. ; seconded by Dr. ASHTON :- That the Report now read be received andprinted for distri bution, under the sanction of the Provisional Directors. On the motion of George R. CIIAPPULL, Esq. ; seconded by RICHARD BIRLEY, Esq. : That it is not expedient to abandon the undertaking; but flat, in pursuance of the recommendation of the Directors, the Altiexpeeded funds be distributed amongst the Shareholders, and the further prosecution of the undertaking postponed. OR the motion of the Rev. Mr. MoixNEux, seconded by P. F. WILLERT, Esq.:— That the accounts of the Company be audited by John Hyde, Esq , and Edward Langworthy, Esq., who are hereby appointed Auditors. (Signed) ROBERT GARDNER, Chairman. Thomas Ashton, Esq., having been called to the Chair, the thank s of the meeting were unanimously given to Robert Gardner, Esq., for his conduct as Chairman. THE REPORT. The present meeting has been cal'ed by the Directory, under that clause of the Subscribers' agreement which authorises the lloaril to call a general meeting of the Subscribers, and pro vides, that the majority of the persons present at such general 'fleeting (to consist of not less than 40 persons, holding in the Iggregate 3,000 shales in the Company) should have full Power to determine whether and upon what terms and condi tions the undertaking should be abandoned, and the Company dissobed, and the affairs thereof wound up, and to make such provisions for those purposes as to such meeting should appear exedient. It is not the intention of the Directors to advert to the cir cumstances attending the defeat of the Bill submitted to Par liament in the last Session. Looking at the present condition of railway property in general, and the unexampled depression under which the trade of this d strict is now labouring, they are of opinion, that it is not desirable immediately to renew the application to Parlia silent for power to construct the line. But, retaining their conviction of the value of a railway through the Trent Valley, Ind wishing, at the same time, to consult the convenience of the Shareholders, they recommend that the unexpended funds be the Company be distributed, and that all further proceedings De postponed until a more favourable state of circumstances shall warrant the Shareholders in authorising the prosecution of the undertaking. In the mean time; it will be satisfactory to the Shareholders to be apprised, that no new expenses will be incurred, and that their liability will be determined, upon the receipt of their proportions of the balance of the Com- Pany's funds. • lILACKWALL AND GRAVESEND NEW FAST IRON STEAM BOATS.

PROCLAMATION BY THE EMPEROR. We, Nicholas 1., by the grace of God Emperor and Autocrat of all the Bussias, &c. &c. &e. In order to facilitate the operations of establishments connected with the public credit, and to increase at the same time the amount of the circulating medium ; and considering it advisable to create a new description of paper with a complete guarantee for its value ; in con formity with the advice of the Council of the Empire we ordain as follows: 1. In six weeks from the promulgation of the present decree the treasuries of the Foundling Hospital, and of the Imperial Loan Bank, shall be authorised to advance money, on the security of real property, in credit-notes, of the value of 50 silver roubles. These notes shall be of a particular form, of which the Department of Fi nance shall present copies to the Directing Senate, the Ministerial offices, the. superior branches of administra tion, and the Chambers of Finance. These copies shall also be posted in all the commercial exchanges. 2. These credit-notes shall amount to 30 millions of silver roubles, of which 15 millions shall be on account of the treasury of the Foundling Hospital at Moscow ; eight millions on account of that at St. Petersburgh; and seven millions on account of the Loan Bank. 3. These notes shall be guaranteed by the entire ca pital and funds of the credit establishments of the em pire; and further by their being changeable on demand for specie, agreeably with the arrangements in Article 5 of the present manifesto. 4. Throughout the empire these notes shall be current equivalently with specie. 5. The exchange of those notes for specie or assignats shall take place, at the option of the holders, at the trea sury of either of the Foundling Hospitals, or of the Loan Bank, without limitation of the amount presented, and without reference.to the particular establishment that may have issued them. In order to insure punctuality in this exchange, the various treasuries shall, whenever they issue notes, deposit in a special fund for the express pur pose a sum of specie equal to one-sixth part at least of the value of the issue. G. With a view still further to facilitate the exchange of these notes, all the treasuries of districts shall bo held bound to exchange them to the amount of 100 silver roubles to. each person who may present that, or a larger amount. • 7. The fundS for exchange, and the quantity of notes, whether issued or not, are placed under the control of the Council of Credit establishments. In addition to the monthly revision that the treasuries of the Foundling Hospitals and the Bank are bound to make, there shall be twice a year a special revision, viz., at the St. Petersburgh Found ling . Hospital and Loan Bank, directly by the Coun cil of Credit establishments ; and at the Foundling Hospital of Moscow by three Senators, named by the Minister of Justice, in conjunction with the marechal of the nobility of the province and the mayor of the city. 'The accounts audited by them, and their remarks, shall also be submitted to the said Council. _ _ 8. The exchange of old notes, unfit for further circula tion, for new ones, shall take place in conformity with the rules established on this subject in reference to the other portions of the circulating medium. 9. The credit notes mad• be sent by post in the same manner as assignats and Treasury bills ; that is to say, by paying the insurance and the amount of the postage. 10. The exportation and importation of credit notes is prohibited by the Custom House regulations now in force with respect to Treasury bills. 11. The forgery of credit-notes shall be punished by the penalties awarded by the law against the forgers of all other State documents. The droper authorities shall hereafter receive from us more detailed regulations for the guidance of the Coun cils of the Foundling Hospitals and of the Loan Bank, both as to the course to be pursued in reference to this operation and to the adjustment among themselves of the accounts of the exchange funds. Given at Peterhoff, the Ist of July, in the year of Grace, 1841, and of our reign the 16th. (Signed) NICHOLAS. Extract from the regulations approved on the 2d July, 1841, by his Majesty the Emperor, for the guidance of the Councils of the Foundling Hospitals and of the Loan Bank in what relates to the issue of credit notes, the ex change of them, and the adjustment of accounts among these various establishments " 1. The proportion of credit-notes, assigned by the Imperial manifesto of the Ist of July in this year to the treasuries of the Foundling Hospitals of St. Petersburgh and,goseow, and the Loan Bank respectively, shall form, in the case of each of those establishments, a special capi tal, of which a particular account shall be kept. " 2. In making loans, these establishments shall inform the borrowers that they must take credit-notes in part of the sum to be advanced. " 3. Four per cent. of the interest due on such loans, with the exception of the amount, proportioned as an ex change fund to the sum deposited (in pursuance of Art. 5 of the manifesto), shall be added to the capital, and not be otherwise appropriated than to increase the prin cipal ; the remaining one per cent. of the interest is to' remain at the disposal of the credit establishments. Eventually, if a necessity should appear for so doing, the portion of the interest appropriated to the increase of the capital may be employed in the gradual extinction cf the credit-notes. _ " 4. When there shall be presented at the treasury of either of the Foundling Hospitals or of the L oan B an k, to be exchanged for specie, an amount of credit-notes larger than that of the funds set apart for that p ur p ose , the surplus required for effecting the exchange shall be taken from the other funds of the establishment.

AUSTRAL IND. 2xtract Despatch from the Company's Chief Commis sioner to the Directors, d a t e d A us tralind, Port LeSche nault, 30th March, 1841 : " The anchorage of Port of Leschenault is much bet ter than I expected, and affords complete shelter, ex cepting from winds from N. by E. to W., and by N. or W.N.W., to-large ships, lying in four and a half or five Fathoms, or to smaller ones, lying further in, round to Y.W.; but as the ground is d!ear of rocks, an I is good holding ground, whalers have lain at it through the win ter months, and it has become a place of such resort for ,American whalers, carrying on their operations in Geo graphe Bay and along this coast, that it is stated to me that 400 arrivals of vessels calling here took place dur ing last year ; this fact I eannk vouch for, but I can, po sitively state on the authority t Mr. Eliot, the Govern ment Resident at this port, the. a few days before I ar rived fourteen whalers and it #4II vessel were anchored 7== 4 estu • in the port at one time ; at tb.o t, ,ample nt thcre.aie three large ships besides the Parkfield at the anchorage. " The bar at the entrance of the inlet, as the Board jefore understood, has no great depth of water upon it, but it is so protected that, excepting in heavy gales from ,he northward, it has but little surf upon it, and none in the deepest part of the Channel ; it is therefore passable by boats at almost all times. The stores shipped here in the Parkfield, and the cargo, as far as at present landed from her, have all passed in safety in the ship's cutter, in the whale boats, and in a large Hat boat which had been prepared for our use. " The depth of water inside the bar is very consider able for some way up the inlet, and not less, as far as I can learn, than two or three fathoms any where in the Channel, as far as above Australind. I have ordered an accurate survey to be made of the whole inlet, with as much despatch as possible, above the point to which the French Chart extends, showing the depth of water in the Channel; and I shall take all other practical means to ascertain its capabilities or deficiencies. The inlet is a most beautiful piece of water of thirteen or fourteen miles in length, expanding, at a mile or two from its entrance, to a mile and a mile and a half in breadth. It is separated from the sea by a narrow, but high and pic turesque ridge of limestone and sand, of broken outline, and generally covered with timber and vegetation; and is bounded on the east principally by the grants of Sir James Stirling and that which was purchased of Colonel Lautour,—the latter rising gradually from almost the water's edge, (in some places to the height of 120 feet) and covered with fine timber. The rivers Preston and Collie, both navigable for many miles up, discharge themselves into the inlet on the eastern side; and the Brunswick, also navigable for many miles, which runs through the whole of Colonel Lautour 's Grant, (now the Company's property), falls into the Collie a little above its embouchure. As the rise and fall of tide here is not considerable, the inlet has none of the character of creeks of . England, being full to the edge of the shore and clear of weed. It is absolutely full of the finest fish, and abounds with black swans, ducks of various kinds, and other aquatic birds. " The site on which Mr. Austin is engaged in marking out the town, is that indicated to him in the instructions which I gave him under the sanction of the Board be fore he left England ; and I assure the Board, that it is not only the best which could be found, but it is beauti ful and desirable in all respects, excepting that its dis, tance up the inlet is inconsiderable, being, as I estimate, about five miles ; but even in this respect, it is better situated in reference to the .port than Perth, which is sixteen miles from Freemantle, outside of which, and of the bar of the Swan, Gage's Roads are the only anchorage, excepting the more distant one of Cockburn Sound, at which ships for the river can lie. A small iron steamer would obviate this inconvenience, and be of treat advan tage to every one who might be located up the inlet, or on the Collie or Brunswick. The undulating nature of the ground on which the town site is marked out, rising, as bfore stated, in some places to 120 feet, affording limestone for building on the spot. and fine soil on the Brunswick, which, at the back of the town site, ap proaches the inlet to within three quarters of a mile, with abundance of water by digging anywhere a few feet, and with superiority to flood, altogether render it a most promising and desirable position for a town. I have not yet, of course, had time to survey the country hind generally, but I have traced the Brunswick from its junction with the Collie for three miles, where it is thirty or forty yards wide, and on its banks found the finest land I have seen in Australia. Some of my party have traced this river (which Captain Grey stated he could not find), for six or seven miles, and it was still a Lyonsiderable stream now, at the end of this (extraordi-: nary) dry season : and their reports, and the opinion current in the colony, speak most favourably of the, value of land on its banks, and generally of the grants pur chased of Colonel Lautour and Sir James Stirling, and an additional one on th e C o lli e , rec ently purchasd for the Company.. I need not add that the climate of this part of the country is acknowledged to be finer than that of almost any other part of Australia. Such is the posi tion in which Australind is fixed, and God grant that it may become a prosperous city. " The gentlemen who have come out with me as set tlers, and the emigrants one and all, are delighted with the decision - that has been come to ; and several now tell me (Mr. Birch, a settler, in particular), that after what they had heard of the district to the northward, and have seen of this, they would have quitted me here if I had gone to Port Grey. " Now, I have every reason to believe I shall keep the whole colony together ; for there are so few grants vet settlersto tlie B Board m t e, exemplaryttheir brought into use in this part, that I do not fear the dis persion of my people to any extent. I have before re portedeorfa t t i n h gen tlemenwii me on all occasions, and their promise to devote their whole time to the general good till their lands can be zealous chosen ; and it would be unjust to the emigrants if I did not again speak highly of their conduct since we have been at this port. They are now actively tit work in as sisting to land. the cargo and bring it up by water to Australind. I hope to locate them all there in a few days, in tents or temporary huts, which I shall allow them to build, to fill up the vacancies among the men forming the Surveying E s t a bli shment from th most de serving, and to employ the remainder in objects for the general good till they find profitable employment among the settlers, allowing them, during that time, rations ac cording to the Directors' ord ers. " During my long ride to Perth and back, by different routes through the bush, I saw no country, except that on the Murray, which can be compared with this imme diate district, and it is perfectly clear to ins that there is a splendid opportunity for the beneficial employment of capital in it. The minor object of gardening even, to which hardly any attention has yet been paid, would re turn an ample profit. Every whaler on the coast would call here frequently for vegetables, fruits, and other re freshments if they could get them ; at present.they tually pay here 251. per ton for potatoes and 20/. per ton for onions ; and the more important branches of stock and sheep rearing can no where in Australia be carried on with greater prospect of success than here." Extract Despatch from same to same. Dated Australind, "In addition to m 6t y h letter o l f B:t th i. e 30th ult., detailing the circumstances under which I have taken upon myself, in conjunction with his Excellency the Governor, to found Australind on the original sit e , up Leschenault Inlet, I have the utmost satisfaction in acquainting you, for the information of the Directors of the Western Aus tralian Company, that every hour confirms the wisdom of the choice of position for the settlement 'which has thus been made. The navigation of the inlet will be perfectly easy by steamers and boats, so that communi cation with the roadstead and sea is complete. Inland navigation for many miles, by the Brunswick and Collie, is better by very far than in any other position which could have been chosen, and as the Preston also is navi• gable for some miles up, and discharges itself into the inlet, communication with the district it waters is like wise accomplished. " If a dam were constructed in the Brunswick, within the town site, to shut out the passage of sea -water, there would be, I am at present informed, no difficulty in hav ing the river full of fresh water to the town at all seasons of the year, as it is at present during the rainy season ; but such is the facility of obtaining water any where in the town site, that it is only necessary to sink a well three or four feet, and an abundant supply is immediately yielded of most excellent quality. As soon as I pitched the first tent in the situation in which I determined to place my establishment, I sunk a well about five feet deep and then placed a small cask in it; the cask immediately filled and keeps full of delicious water, though sometimes we have taken eight or ten bucketsfull out of it at a time, and in one day upwards of fifty buckets full; and another small well, sunk within a few yards from the edge of the Estuary, also yields excellent water; in fact, it may be found in every part of the town site, the depth of the well being, of course, regulated with ref erence to the height of the ground in which it is sunk. The town site is really in every direction beautiful; its western front, looking across the inlet, is commanding and the view delightful ; its eastern view on the Brunswick is picturesque and full of charm, and the south-eastern angle has a most romantic view up and down the Collie and th e j unct i on of the Brunswick, w hich almost surpasses any thing I have ever seen. The land rises boldly from the edge of the Collie, and that part of the town will be sixty or eighty feet at least above the stream. Limestone crops out on the tops of some of the hills, and exists in others. Every part of the town site is sup er i or to fl ood, an d consequently affords facility for drainage. The only land in the town which bears the least appearance of being wet is on the banks of the Brunswick, not from floods, but from under-springs. It is the finest land I ever saw, and as I propose to make public gardens, &c., on this part of the stream adjoining the town. as enjoined by my instructions, I have lent a part of it HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Plackle, the celebrated American manager and actor, made his first appearance in this country at this theatre, last evening, in the character of Sir Peter Teazle in the School for Si,andal, and of Lingo, in the Agreeable Surprise. We- think this gentleman acted very injudiciously in choosing the character of Sir Peter Teazle for his debut. The character of Sir Peter Teazle is one sl completely peculiar to the polished English society of the last century, that it is next to impossible for a person who has r.ot been used to mix in first-rate English society, to understand or to act the character. Sir Peter Teazle is a finished gentleman, and Mr. Placide was wofully deficient in the elegance of manner necessary to give effect to such a character. His thorough acquaintance with the stage business, saved him from the commission of any grievous faults; but his conception of the character was altogether false, and his acting. harsh, unpolished, and wanting in grace. He is a good farceur ; but no mere farceur can act Sir Peter Teazle: His Lingo was a much better performance. His reading of the character is different to what we have been hitherto accustomed. He makes Lingo more of the old man, and we are by no means disposed to say that he is wrong in so doing ; but he was at times very humorous, and some of his grimaces were most extraordinary. He. sings well, and was deservedly encored in the song " Amo. amas," which he gave with great quaintness. From what we saw of him last night we should' imagine that in his line Mr. Placide was a good actor ; but genteel co medy is most decidedly not in his line, therefore, we hope he will not again attempt the character of Sir Peter Teazle. Miss Helen Faucit was the Lady Teazle, and we were agreeably surprised to find her so excellent in co medy. She was scarcely sufficiently buoyant in the ear lier scenes, but as the character developed itself, she rose with her part, and in the more serious scenes towards the close she was excellent. The screen scene was given with a pathos that was exquisitely touching, and the scorn with which she retorts on Joseph Surface, at the close of the scene, was most withering, and at the same time most lady-like. We never saw this scene better acted. Mrs. Stirling, as Mrs. Candour, was per fect. It is impossible to imagine anything better than the Mrs. Candour of this lady. The• other characters were all excellently supported (Wallack resuming his old character of Charles Surface), and the piece was got up with all that attention to costume and scenery, for which this theatre has of lute become so celebrated. At the conclusion of the play Mr. Plaeide was called for, and on his appearance was loudly cheered. The house was well attended. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—The Queen and Prince Albert ook their usual walk in the Park this forenoon. _ _ Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal was driven out for an airing to-day. The Earl and Countess of Erroll paid a visit to Cum berland Lodge this morning.

SIR,—I perceived by your paper, of some few days back, that a testimonial in honour of Dr. Birkbeck is about to be raised. lam glad to hear this, and cannot but feel pleased at the handsome manner in which you have introduced the subject to the public. In what has been done as yet, however, I disagree. Permit me to say that a piece of plate, a lectureship, or any of those means which have been proposed, would in themselves be too trivial and toy-like to be applied in the way of commemorating the services of the individual in question. I can understand the presentation of a testi• monial of this description emanating from a private cir cle in acknowledgment of ordinary merit ; but I do not think any thing of this kind would be in keeping with the nature of the services of Dr. Birkbeck. The ser vices of the worthy Doctor are of a national character, and the testimonial which would go to reward or ac knowledge them should also be of a national character , and should emanate from the highest quarter. I would say that the services which Dr. Birkbeck has rendered are of the highest importance to the age and to his coun try. He has devoted his life, his learning, his fortune, and his energies to the improvement and development of that portion of the public mind to which England ores so much of her mechanical and commercial great ness. The State has not hesitated to bestow its honours on Merit. Witness—ln physic, Sir B. Brodie and others; in art, Sir David Wilkie ; m literature, Sir E. L. Bul wer ; in science, Sir D. Brewster and Sir 111. Farraday. Might not some high national honour be conferred on the revered individual in question ? His services to his country have at least been as worthy as the noblest of the names above mentioned. I am, Sir, ONE WHO HAS PARTAKEN LARGELY OF THE BENEFITS CONFERRED BY , THE DOCTOR'S LABOURS. Aug. 14, 1841. - • ELECTION PETITIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Permit me to call the attention of your liberal readers to a most important change in the law respecting the presentation of petitions against Tory Members, as Peel's Bill throws considerable personal risk upon peti tioners and their sureties, from which they were toler ably exompt under the old law. Under the present system, a Tory agent of the sitting Member, relying upon the difficulty of proving the bribery, which noto riously won the seat, or the impossibility of bringing it home to the recognised agents, would immediately retain three or four counsel, send to the borough an expensive professional staff to prepare the detente,—summon wit nesses,—in short, incur all the preliminary expenses of defending the seat, with the certainty of throwing upon his opponent every shilling of the expense, if the peti tion was not proceeded in, and the probability of saddling him with the whole of the costs, should the merits of the petition be entered into, and prove unsuccessful. The difference between this and the old law is most important. Formerly, let the result of the petition be what it might, in 99 cases out of 100, each party paid his own costs. Coming events cast their shadows before them ; and, whether Peel's Bill was introduced to protect the anticipated Tory majority or not, most assuredly it must tend very much to abridge the right of petitioning Three or four thousand pounds on each side, is no exor bitant sum for a closely contested petition. A party may not be unwilling to bear his own costs, but may well hesitate before he incurs the risk of paying those of his opponent, increased, as they would be, by Tory chicanery. Hoping this notice may prevent an Liberal candidate y exposing himself to the tender mercies of the Tory law yers or Tory agents, needy and unprincipled as they are, I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, A REJECTED CANDIDATE. London, August 11, 1841. P.S.—ln connexion with the above, I may mention a report, which is. I believe, correct,—viz., that the Carl ton Club have hired three barristers to defend all peti tions against their party, upon the principle —no cure, no pay. FINE ARTS.—The sketch for the statue of Sir Astley Cooper, intended for St. Paul's Cathedral, has been completed by Mr. Baily, R.A., and represents the late hi g hly distinguished surgeon in an e l egant and graceful standing attitude, with his left hand resting upon a cranium. The figure is robed as a Doctor of Laws. This work of art is very successful in portraying the ur banity and frankness of the highly gifted Sir Astley, nor are the dignity and self-possession, for which he was so eminent, wanting in the composition. Another novelty in art,—also in the studio of the above Academician, — is a sketch for a memorial to the Reverend Doctor Hood, the late Dean of l e y, which is t o b e p l ace d i n St. Jo h n ' s College, Oambridg. B I RTH -DAY OF THE QUEEN DOWAGER.— Yetserday was the anniversary of the birth of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Her Majesty was born in the year 1792, and has consequently attained her 49th year.

PRICE 5d SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MOANING PAYERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—Without entering on the question what proportion the Dissenters bear to the members of the Church of England, we object to the late election being taken as a test either of the strength of Re formers of :ill creeds, or of the strength of the professors of any particular creeds. " While the larger proportion of the British empire," says the Times, " have shown themselves so favourable to Church establishments as to have elected a House of Commons resolved to maintain the on their ancient foundations, the en tire aggregate of violent Dissenting voluntaries, all of whom voted for Whig Candidates, have been ut terly unable, even with the ill-judged co-operation of multitudes of Church Liberals, to secure the con tinuance of a congenial Whig Cabinet.. The elec tions, therefore, have clearly demonstrated the nu merical weakness of your noisy political Dissenters." It would be every whit as correct to say that the elections which preceded the Reform Bill and took place imme diately after it, were a proof of the numerical weakness of the Church of England, as the clergy of that Church were, with very few exceptions, strenuous opponents of the Reform Bill. But party distinctions were broken down' at the late election. .It is notorious that the land owners as a body (there were many distinguished excep tions no doebt) were bitterly opposed to any change in the Corn-laws ; that the county electors are exclusively in the hands of the landowners ; and that the towns, in agricultural districts, were overawed by the tenants and other retainers of the landowners. The election turned, not upon the attachment to particular political prin ciples, but on the question whether a fixed duty on corn should be substituted for the present sliding scale. In the counties there are numerous Dissenters and Liberals who were as much coerced as the old Irish forty-shilling freeholders used to be before the Eman cipation Bill. But we pass to the towns in agricultural districts, and take one as a specimen—Reading- In Reading, in ordinary times, the Reformers constitute a majority. Why Tories were returned at the last elec tion is pointed out in a letter in this day's Chronicle, headed " Reading Intimidation." The " owners and oc cupiers of land " in the neighbourhood issued a mani festo, addressed " to the electors of Reading, especially those engaged in trade," to which the names of 160 landowners and farmers were ,attached, and which was diligently circulated as a placard. Adverting to the Ministerial proposition for the admission of foreign corn at a fixed duty, they say : "We are far from desiring to interfere with the opi nions of any man, but as a dissolution of Parliament is about to take place on this question, and this question alone, we have no hesitation in urging you to lay aside all other considerations, and to support those candidates only who declare themselves favourable to the mainte nance of the present protective system. In ordinary times, we should not have adopted this course ; but when we see our property, our station in society, and the welfare of all dependent on us at stake, we are sure you will ad mit that we are amply justified. Although we might urge your own identity of interests with ours, as per sons with whom we expend incomes, amounting in the aggregate to many thousands per annum, we prefer ap pealing to you, as neighbours and friends, and to ask, as a personal favour, that you will support those candidates at the ensuing election who will maintain that cause in which we are all most deeply engaged." It appears by an analysis subjoined to this document, that the effect of this appeal was the neutralising 107 avowed Reformers, and the inducing 80 professing Re— formers to record their votes in favour of the Tory can didates. Under any 'other circumstances the Reform candidates would have had a great majority. Reading may be taken as a fair sample of all boroughs similarly circumstanced. The Dissenters were not one whit more determined than other electors ; and it is a notorious fact in many places the use of Dissenting meeting-houses was positively refused for meetings of the adherents of the anti-monopolist candidates. lIERALD.—In the afternoon of yesterday it was con fidently asserted in the City by generally well informed and most respectable merchants, that five ships of war had been ordered to proceed immediately to the coast of the United States, and that they were there to be joined by ten other vessels of her Majesty's navy from foreign stations. The object of the alleged mission of this arma ment to the American shores, it was added, was to re• ceive Mr. Fox, should the refusal of the renewed demand for the release, which it is said he is instructed to make, of Mr. M'Leod, compel the British representative to withdraw from Washington, and afterwards to adopt such hostile proceedings, as may be deemed indispensable for the vindication of the honour of the British Crown, which has been so wilfully and wantonly attacked by the American people and Government in the person of its subject—Alexander M'Leod. It is our duty as journalists to record the intelligence of the day, and, in " pursuance of that obligation we have stated the rumour which we have reason to believe proceeded from no in terested, excited, or prejudiced source. In thus giving to it publicity, however probable we may think it, we add no voucher for its absolute truth. It cannot, how ever, be denied that the state of our relations with the United States are most unsatisfactory, and that the con tinuance of peace between England and the Republic is an event en which no certain dependence can be placed. The British Representative has formally de manded the release of Mr. M'Leod, on grounds which the American Secretary of State has admitted to be suf ficient, and that British subject is now only incar cerated because the Supreme Government of the United States is deficient in power to enforce his release from a subordinate State. With this deficiency of power Eng land has nothing to do; she can take no snore cognizance of the State of New York than she can of the meanest citizen of the republic ; to the Supreme Government alone she looks for compliance with her demand, and de lay in that compliance from inadequacy of power is tan tamount to a refusal. The quiescence of Mr. Fox, sub sequent to the demand, is sufficiently objectionable ; but submission to further appeals to American Courts of Law would be intolerable. Great Britain has amply shown the United States that she seeks no rupture; it now remains for her to declare that she will not pur chase amity by dishonour. It is idle, it is wicked, to conceal the fact, that unless Mr. M'Leod be immediately released, the honour of this country is deeply tarnished; the ties that bind her North American colonies to her are loosened, and another precedent has been established for the destruction of national rights. ADVERTISER—The Times is better than our fears upon the question of Church extension. Knowing, as we do, the almost unlimited drafts which the Tories have, from time to time, made upon the public Treasury, to augment the revenues of the clergy, we were justified in anticipating that the claims which the Times made upcn the proximate Conservative Government, on behalf of the Church, would be followed, as a matter of course' by some impudent proposition for an addition to those Par liamentary grants of money, by which the insatiable ava rice of the clergy has been already and so frequently illus trated. But the Times has at length been made to under stand something of the spirit and temper of the age, and to perceive what has long been obvious to all the rest. of the world, namely, that any augmentation of the .Church revenues, by an appropriation of the public mo ney, rinlessit be upein special grounds, and under parti cular circumstances, involves a principle which may be 'turiled to a very fearful account against the Church itself. The Times admits the miserable inadequacy, of Church accommodation, and of the means of religious instruction by the agency of the Church's ministers ; but it will not consent to any application to Parliament for a grant of public money to supply the deficiency, until after all the internal resources of the Church itself have been put into requisition and exhausted. This is something gained to the popular cause ; and if the Conservatives are as discreet as they seem to be under the victory they have just achieved for their party, they will in this matter adopt the course in ef te p d ol o i n ey t. which the Times has so judiciously and ably N As the Times rests the propriety of augmenting the re venues of the Church by an allocation of the public money upon the ascertained inadequacy of herowninter nal resources to meet the demands made u r ser vices, it becomes of some importan ce t o ascertain the real extent of those resources, as they are available for the enjoyment of the clergy. And this inquiry becomes the more desirable and necessary, inasmuch as the clerical body has in this matter managed to im pose most egregi ously upon the public through th e instrumentality of the Ecclesiastical Commission, which was created in 1831. POST.,--Upon the supposition of the statesmen who have with them the Parliamentary majority, being called to the helm of Administration, we have spoken , of the difficulties with which they will have to contend, owing to the neglect and mismanagement of public affairs for some years past by the present Ministry. Let us now look at Conservative prospects in a different aspect, and consider what advantages they will have over the Wh i g - Radical condu c t ors of affairs; Among these, the first and greatest is, in the character of the force which the Conservative leaders will direct. Whatever Whig- Radical advocates may Say as to one vote, or any g iv e n number of vot es, being, of the same importance whether they be of one cliiss or another—whether they be Mr. O'Connell's nominees or the representatives of independent British yeomen —they know very well that much depends upon the character of any Par liamentary party as well as upon its number. We consider,--and even our opponents must in this agree with us, whatever they may pretend—that the high cha racter of the Conservative majority is of far more im portance than its numerical amount. Abusive words are easily uttered, and the Whig-Radicals may, and will, indulge their malignant nature and their impotent spite in imputing all sorts of bad motives to the Conservative majority. But all this railing will notzet rid of the fact that the great bulk of the Conservative Parliamentary force is composed of men of independent fortune and un impeachable character. Men who have a very large per sonal interest in the prosperity of the country—men to whom no temporary advantage could be a sufficient com pensation for consenting to measures which they believed likely to lower the national character, the national secu rity, or the national prosperity of Great Britain. Nor is it at all likely , that any amount of abuse and vituperation should materially shako the natural public) inference from this fact, that in troubled and perilous times it is far safer to be under the guidance of a majority com posed of such men, than under that of such a disreput able band—such a conflata improborum manus—as formed the bulk of the Whig-Radical majority since the be ginning of 1835. If the present Ministers had been capable of shame, which they neither were nor are, it might have made them almost sink into the earth Week 7 , C EVENING RUN., __. ._ around and contemplate the kind of reopl . 9.-whom.,- A_ 7 . they were on all great trials of strength - i • : pcl•_.ftir -.7.,.( their disgraceft.l success.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMF:S.—One of the chief guarantees that a Joint- Stock Bank is managed on principles compatible with the interests of the Proprietary, is the obligation of lay ing before them at their perijclical meetings a correct, full, and'explicit balance-sheet. Any tendency to ren der this balance-sheet less correct, less clear, or less de tailed than it ought to be, is a tendency to deprive the public as well as the shareholders of this important guarantee. And yet want of minuteness, if net absolute omission, has been of frequent occurrence, so as in se veral instances to render the presented balance-sheet little more than a nullity, or perhaps even worse, as statements have occasionally been made calculated to mislead. To convey solid information, the securities ought to be divided into such as are good and such as are doubtful, instead of a round sum being set opposite to the indefinite item " securities," without further explanation, and all such unmean ing heads as " preliminary expenses," and the like, should be sedulously avoided. In a word, the balance sheet should give a clear and accurate notice of the actual condition of the Bank with respect to assets and liabili ties. An instance of want of completeness in the infor mation conveyed to the Shareholders occurred in the late proceedings of the London and County Joint-Stock Bank, adverted to a few days since, when, in fact, no balance-sheet whatever made its appearance, but a mere profit-and-loss account, which gave no idea at all of the situation of the Bank, and which was no less remarkable than the silence and absence of inquiry with which the proprietary received it. Some of the Shareholders are now regretting that they did not elicit more satis factory explanations, especially when the rumour of a large loss by the failure of Messrs. Coils, Thomp son, and Co., the bill-brokers, was so prevalent, and a full account of the nature of the affair might have re moved much uneasiness. In exercising a due vigilance Shareholders are not only consulting their own interests, but when their institution is a public one, they have a duty to perform to the public, who with themselves are liable to be sufferers through mismanagement. Although the profit-and-loss account, such as it was, was merely made up to the 30th of last June, and the failure of Messrs. Coils, Thompson, and Co. had not then occurred, still, as it happened so shortly after wards, and was virtually caused by the refusal of this bank to hand over their bill-case deposit, the facts of the case must have been sufficiently known to render correct information possible as well as acceptable, while before the meeting took place it was freely stated that the loss in question had been a severe one, and likely to affect future dividends: Although, however, our information was obtained at the meeting. it has now become a common topic of remark in the money circles, and the particulars are said to be as follow :—The London and County Bank on their ba lance of advances to Messrs. Coils, Thompson, and Co., appear to be creditors to the amount of 40,000/., against which they hold securities to the extent of upwards of that sum, but of which only about 19,000/. are in Ms, many of these being, it is said, of a questionable nature, while the larger amount of security is composed of scrip receipts of a newly started navigation concern, the pos session of which involves a legal question. These are facts of which surely the Shareholders should have been officially apprised on so goad an opportunity presenting itself for the purpose. CHRONICLE.—The monopolists tell us now that the Bank of England will not be drained of her gold to pay for the necessary importation of foreign corn this season, because, in consequence of the very low prices of British goods, payment will be taken in manufactures. We see little appearance that this anticipation will be fulfilled to any great extent. The price of British goods has been ruinously low for the last two years. Large quantities of foreign cern have been imported in 1838,. 1839, and 1840, but the payments have been made in hard bullion. We doubt much if a better system of trade for this coun try will take place this year. There is no reason to ex pect it. Quite the contrary; for when the continental mer chants see that a Ministry is about to come into power in Great Britain professedly on the ground . that they are opposed to a revision of our tariff on imports, and particu larly against a fixed moderate duty on the importation of corn, their staple article of produce, it is most likely that they will rather be more disposed than ever to exact payment in gold for that which they see we take from them simply from necessity, and from no feeling of mutual interests of traffic or reciprocal interchange of commodities. But supposing the answer made by the City monopolists to be true. Assuming that only 1,000,000 of quarters of foreign corn should be paid for in British goods, that fact would at once show the utter falsehood of the Peel doctrine, that the continental na tions would not adopt the principle of reciprocity, for if they should take payment of 1,000,000 of quarters or grain from us in British goods under our existing vicious commercial code, they would take payment of twice us much from us in .the same way, if we adopted a liberal system of commercial policy. In the mean time, we re gret to learn that large shipments of British goods have been lately sent to the Continent, on consignment. Had there been a demand for them at the present reduocd prices,_ this species of exports could not h ave t a k en pl ace; but that the fact is so, we hear from good authority. Many respectable persons have been compelled to ship goods for the Continent on consignment, be cause they could find no sale at home, and were obli g ed to adopt the consignme n t s y s t em , i n order to raise money to meet their current engagements. If there were good grounds for expecting a demand from the Continent, equivalent to the price of 1,000,000 quarters of corn, the low price of British goods would soon vanish; for, in consequence of the mill-owners working short time s there has been a great diminution of production. The Corn Market to-day continued at about Wednes day's prices. The computations as to the quantity of continental wheat that will be required, of course vary very much, and must remain so until the produce of the crop can be better known. Some parties still maintain that the quantity must be nearer three millions of quarter* than two millions, but under any circumstances there must be an importation to make the Directors of the. Bank of England tremble for the consequences. On the 15th of June last, remarking on the evidence o *Mr. Horsley Palmer before the Committee on Banks of Issue, we found that the transmission of bullion and the use of a credit by the Bank of England upon Paris amounted to fully 10,000,0001., between January and October of 1839, in consequence of the bad harvest of 1838, and observed that " should another unfavourable harvest, therefore, be experienced in this country, the Bank of England could not expect aid from the Bank of France, but would have to rely on her own resources ;" so that with little over 5,000 , 0 00 1 . i n her coffers, the Dis rectors would have to find something like 10,000,000 E of bullion, supposing their position to stand much as it does at the present time, (that is, the same as in June last), and the price of corn to be as high. and the importation as great as it was in the years 1838 and 1839. All eyes are turned to the atmosphere, and the truth of our re mark that, in this uncertain climate, " no one can tell yet what may happen this season before the crops are housed," is fully verified, with this exception, that every one can tell with considerable accuracy that the crop must assuredly be a deficient one. POST. —The home funds opened well this morning, Consols for the Account being quoted at 891, buyers, ; but before the close of business the Market again as sumed the same heavy appearance that it did the day before yesterday. A number of sales were effected in all the permanent securities, the cause of which was not generally known. Late in the a fternoon, however, it was confidently reported that five ships of war had been commissioned for immediate service, and that the force: Was to be increased to fifteen, the whole being about to proceed, with an ample complement of armed steamers, to the westward, to wake a formal demand of the surren der of Mr. M'Leod by the American authorities. In the Foreign house an attempt was again made to get up a show of business by the party concerned in the Boulogne enterprise, but it totally failed, and h as , in fact, was w av e er s y ta h te ea t l b 3 an m i a t r was k t againn left the Market in a ors EnSeClisiCh.—Flundesre, still mainly produced, there is every reason to believe, by the advancing prices of For e i gn corn, and the apprehension that the low duty being sud denly established will drain us of some millions sterling; and derange our Money Market to a serious extent. Consols for immediate transfer were 'to-day quoted 89t to 89k, closing at the intermediate quotation ; for the Account the value was 89i to I, the latest value being 89 1 8 to 1. Exchequer Bills were 14 s . t o 16s. premiusiz and East India Bonds, Bs._premium ; Bank S toc k was dull at 168 to 1671 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were 981 to ; and the Three per Cents. Re duced 89/ to 90. The advices from Madrid are still a fruitful source of anxiety and discussion with many parties in the City ; and the failure of a most extensive, and, as was imagined, wealthy member of the Bolsa, having caused something like a panic in the Spanish capital, has also affected the Market here. Spanish Active Bonds have been down ' to-day to 191 and 19i ; Portuguese New to 29/ awl 29i ; and the Three per Cents. to 17i- and 18 ; Mexican were a trifle better, however, viz., 25 to 25/ ; Brazilian realized 67/ ; and Peruvian 15 to 1 ; the Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. were 51/ to 52. There was no further depression in the Railway Shares, but sales could not b e ma d e a b ove yestes4ay s rates. Great Western were la ; London and 11,;;Ining ham 69 ; and South Western 13i to 127 ; r:remium ; Brighton were 7 to 74 ; Eastern Counties assi Bristol and Exeter 29 ; Birmingham and Gloucester 40 ; Hull and Selby, 14 ; North Midland 36 ; and Man chester and Leeds, 18 discount. Union Bank of Aus tralia Shares were 5 premium ; and London and West minster 2f premium. Although the Foreign Exchanges did not recede this afternoon, they were still fiat. The rate on Paris was 25f. 571 c. to 60c. ; on Hatuburg,h, 13 9 ; on Amster dam, 12 34 to 4; on Frankfort, 1491 to ;on Ant werp, 12 4t031 ; and on Trieste, 950 to 95.
