A Com- Its We o f the Legislative Council,of which the Bishop of Austra kst, ts Chairman, in their Report to the Council in September . am ° st ate. that "Every department of industry is cramped x , 4 14 ° undertaking, public or private, can be prosecuted e a t an inuneuse expense, owing to the exorbitant rate of l e e; and th e inconceivable difficulty in procuring workmen, pirtatitsi or mechanics, upon any terms whatever; there is no i lio °f the , in which it may riot be truly said that there th e - 4 11 al dearth of hands to carry on the ordinary business. g b i nstance of sheep farming, the distress arising from want I, et e Pherds is almost incredible.

I beg respectfully to remind you that my preten sions to your favour are founded on a period of thirty years' employment in the Civil Service of the East India Company, which finally terminated by my having been entrusted with the charge, for - four years, of the highest and most important branch of your affairs in China. I may further add, that a long and intimate knowledge of Indian interests, with which I have been connected from the earliest period of my life, induces me to hope you will confide in me for the future exertion of my best energies in promoting the moral, religious, and temporal prosperity of India. The strong assurances of support I have received from all quarters since the last Election, enable me to look forward to the result of the present contest with the most confident hopes of success, and I have only to express my warmest thanks to my supporters, and to request a continuance of their kind exertions until the termination of the Ballot. I have, in accordance with the usual practice on such occa sions, inserted the names of the Five Ex-Directors with my own in the Ballotting Lists ; and also in the Proxy Papers, which I shall shortly have the honoftr to transmit to you, and I. must trust to the kind indulgence of such Proprietors upon whom I have not been able recently to call, to pardon this seeming negligence on my part •, the great press of business attendant on such a canvass, will, I feel confident, plead my best apology.

The above invaluable little work is given gratis with each box of PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d., 4s. 6d., and I ls., containing a full description of the above complainWsillustrated by Engravings, showing the dif ferent stages of this deplorable and often fatal disease, as well as the dreadful consequences arising from the use of Mercury. The causes, symptoms, and baneful effects of Lues Venerea, Gonorrhoea, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, &c., are explained In a familiar manner ; to which are added very extensive prac tical observations on sexual debility, brought on by a delusive habit, all its attendant sympathies considered, and the whole illustrated by striking cases, accompanied with full and explicit directions for an effectual and speedy cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety, without the aid of medicial assistance; it also con tains many hints and advice well worth knowing. PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d., 4s 6•1., and I ls. per box, is the mos' certain and effectual cure ever discovered, for every stage and symptom of the Venereal Disease, in both sexes, including Gonorrhoea, Gleets, Se condary Symptoms, Strictures, Seminal Weakness, Deficiency, and all Diseases of the Urinary Passages, without loss of time, confinement, or hindrance from business ; they have effected the most surpi ising cures, not only in recent and severe cases, but when salivation and all other means have failed. It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who, by the use, of that deadly poison, mercury, ruin the con stitution, cause ulceration, blotches an the head, face, and body, dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate gleets, n vet son the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose, with nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, till, at length, a general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a me anchol 3 death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings. Messrs. Perry and Co., Surgeons, may be consulted at No. 4, Great Charles-street, Birmingham, and 44, Albion-street, Leeds. Only one personal visit is required from a country patient, to give such advice as will be the means of effecting a permanent and effectal cure, after all other means have proved ' ineffectual. Letters for advice must be post. paid, and contain the usual fee of one pound. PERRY'S CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is intended to relieve those persons who, by an immoderate indulgence of their passions, have ruined their constitution, or in their way to the consummation of that deplorable state are affected with any of those previous symptoms that 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, barrenness, &c. A perseverance in its use has been the happy means of relieving many thousands, and of restoring a great number to the per manent enjoyment of life. It is remarkable for its efficacy in all disorders of the crgestive 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.

Between nine and ten months ago I became afflicted with that most painful disease Sciatica; the agonising pain which 1 suffered in my legs and thighs for so long a pa; io 4, hafts any description which . 1 can pus :ibis give of my then miserable sate. I could .eldom obtain either rest or sleep. I had the best medical advice, • ncluding teat of t•vo physicians in London, without obtidning any essential relief I went to Margate, and had the best medical .dvice, trying the warm bath there, and at other places, without obtaining any Iseneflt. A short time ago I. was rec •mmenne t to try Blair's (out and Rheumatic Pills; and wa thereby induced to purchase a box of this valuable medicine of Me , srs Hammond and Co , Chemists of this town, and before I had taken the quantity therein contained, I was entirely free from pain, and speedily recovered my health by taking a few snore Pills, and haryily there has been no return of this di tressing malady. Y u are at liberty to publish my case, in the hope thereby that this excellent medicine may be the means of relieving others. I am , Sir, yours, respectfully, J. B.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE ELECTORS OF LANCA§rEit: 7A meeting of the electors of Lancaster was held on Monday evening, in the Music-hall, to receive a deputation from the Council of the National Anti-Corn-law League. This was one of a series of visits which the active Members of that spirited body intend to pay to those constituencies which are represented by bread-taxers. A fe a days previous to the day of meeting, the Council dispatched one of their Lec turers, Mr. Murray, to Lancaster, who procured a copy of the last registry, and addressed a circular to every elector, 1,356 in number, inviting them to meet the deputation, and request ing them to present the circular for admission at the door; and at the same time he sent a parcel of tracts, including Lord Fitzwilliam's Address to the Farmers, to each. The Parlia mentary borough extends seven miles into the country, and includes in its electoral body a good many farmers and fisher men. A 3 the latter were supposed to be very much preju diced against the repeal of the Corn law, Mr. Muri ay devoted his evenings to the task of lecturing in the neighbouring vil lages. He fo , .nd everywhere willing listeners, and a cordial response to his appeals. A very great change has come over the opinions of the rural population in the neighbourhood during the last year. Last Spring. when the Lancaster Anti- Corn-law Association sent petitions into the neighbouring vil lages for signature, their agents were driven out and threat ened with violence. The rural population are now eager to sign petitions for the immediate abolition of the food monopoly. The Deputation, consisting of Messrs. Brooks, Cobden, and Prentice, of Manchester ; Lawrence Heyworth, Esq., of Li verpool; and the Rev. Edward Hawkes, deputed by the spi rited Anti-Corn-law Association of Kendal, were met at the Royal Oak by a Committee of the most influertial mea of the borough, and at seven o'clock they adjourned to the place of meeting. JOHN ARMSTRONG, Esq. was unanimously called to the Chair; he explained briefly the objects of the Meeting, and called upon Mr. Brooks to speak. Mr. BROOKS is an extensive merchant and calico printer, who filled the office of boroughreeve of Manchester last year. He addressed the Meeting in a very effective strah, pointing out the origin of the corn law, and showing by prac tizal illustrations drawn fr-sm his own business the evil opera tion of the landowner's monopoly. Mr. BEYWORTH (who is the President of the Total Ab stineace Society of England,) next addressed the Meeting in a warm and feeling manner. Ile said he was entirely inde pendent of business, and took up the advocacy of the abolition of the bread tax as a great moral and religious quest' oa— one that concerned not merely the manufacturers—not rrerely the people of England—but the nations of all the earth.— The question was not one of to-day, but for all time and for eternity. He addressed himself particularly to the friends of the poor, and pointed out very clearly the way in which scarcity of food invariably caused a reduction of wages. He contended that all classes of society had one common interest in the removal of this great injustice. Mr. Heyworth spoke at great length, and with considerable eloquence, and the earnestness and benevolence of manner rhich characterized his address won the hearts of his audience, who frequently responded to his appeals with enthusiastic cheers. Mr. PRENTICE took up the agriculturists' view of the ques tion, and asked the farmers present what became of their sons and daughters ? He said he was himself the son of a Scotch farmer, and he instanced from amongst farmers of his acquaintance cases in which nine children had been put out to trade by their parents, whilst the eldest only of the whole family was retained upon the farm, and he asked his audience whether those farmers had not nine times as great an interest in the prosperity of trade as of agriculture? This view of the question seemed to excite a lively interest in the Meeting, a portion of which were of the agricultural class. • Mr. COBDEN next addressed the meeting, and alluded to the systematic efforts to mislead the workinc , class upon the subject of wages. He said he generally foetid the older men amongst the operatives to entertain very correct notions upon the Corn-law, but a number of designing or ignorant persons had latterly persuaded the young men—the lads—that a cheap loaf meant a redaction of wages. He said, we must teach these boys from the lessons of our better experience. He had t,aid for the last ten years more than 20,0001. a year in wages, and he had never varied his scale of wages one farthing during all that time. His men got the same in 1835, when wheat was 395. 4d. a quarter, as they did in 18,39, nchei it was up to 755. Mr. Cobden created roars of laughter by quoting a pa ragraph from the Lancaster Gazette, the Tory paper, relating to the last anniversary dinner of the Lancaster Agricultural Society, in which the editor very naively confessed that the great want at those dinners was the presence of the farmers, and he recommended a cheap dinner to suit their circum stances ! The we of this unlucky admission made by Mr. Cobden, seemed to convince the farmers present, if they had not been previously satisfied by Mr. Prentice, that they de rived no benefit from the Corn-law. The Rev. E. HAwnEs said he had been anticipated by Mr. Heyworth in the expression of his strong opinion that not merely the temporal interests of the world at large, but the eternal welfare of the poor was largely involved in the ques tion of the Corn•law, which tended constantly to the physical and moral degradation of the people. He hail striking ex amples constantly before him in Kendal of the sufferings of the working class, consequent upon the want of employment and the high price of food, and, believing that these sufferings were occasioned by the Corn-law, be felt it his duty at all times, as a Christian minister, publicly to proclaim the wicked ness :,nd injustice of that law. The CHAIRMAN, at the close of these addresses, invited discussion, and said the deputation would be glad to answer any objections or reply to any questions. A person of the name of Earle delivered himself of a num ber of stock fallacies about foreign competition, the national debt, taxation, &c., which were satisfactorily disposed of. After which a resolution was moved by THOMAS ESKER nicc z, Esq., and seconded by G. JACKSON, Esq., and car ried unanimously in favour of establishing an Anti-Corn-law Registration Society, to promote the return of Members pledged to the immediate abolition of the corn and provision laws. A vote of thanks to the Deputation was moved by W. SATTKRTHWAITE, Esq., and seconded by Mooatt, Esq., and carried by acclamation. . . Atter which thanks were voted to the Chairman. The meeting then gave three times three deafening cheers for the abolition of the Corn-law, and separated. The place of meeting was crowded to excess, and we un derstand a majority of the registered electors were in the room. Amongst the leading gentlemen of the borough pre sent, we observed, T. H. Higgins, Esq., R. Dunn, Esq., Dr. Johnson,. R. F. Housman, Esq., T. Eskrigge, Esq., G. Jackson, Esq., Moore, Esq., &c., &c. The Deputation declared that they had not on any occasion met a more en thusiastic reception, and the oldest inhabitant of Lancaster certainly never beheld so influential a meeting in the borough. The Anti-Corn-law League have now done their duty, and the Electoral body are evidently prepared.to do theirs. It will test with the more influential men of the borough to take the lead, and to follow up the holy war against selfishness and injustice, so gloriously begun by the men of Manchester. We understand the League are preparing to visit the Elec tors of all the neighbouring boroughs. We devoutly say— God speed them in their righteous efforts. THE LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PROTEC TION OF YouNo F.EmALEs.—On Tuesday evening a special meeting of the members and friends of the above Society took place at Exeter Hall, the Earl of Mountcashel in the chair. It appeared that the enormous expenses attendant on bring ing the parties engaged in the abominable traffic of juvenile prostitution to justice. the difficulties thrown in the way of their Secretary from the present state of the law in bringing them to trial, and the inadequacy of the punishment as compared with the offence which follows their conviction; are so palpable as to determine the society on going to Parliament for a more stringent enactment, to enable them to fulfil the benevolent object for which it is established. The meeting was, therefore, called to take into consideration a number of resolutions prepared by the Managing Commit tee. From a statement made by Mr. Talbot, the Society's ecretary, it was evident that the abominable traffic is, from the causes above alluded to, carried on to a most incredible extent, and that it requires extraordinary exertions to check if not prevent it. The Noble Chairman, Lord Viscount Gage, General Alexander, and other members and friends of the Society, addressed the meeting, and several resolutions, upon which a Bill is to be framed, were proposed and car ried ; and it was resolved that the Bill be presented without delay to the House of Commons. A resolution was also proposed, seconded, and carried, that a circular be sent to the officiating clergymen of each parish in the three kingdoms, and minister of every dissenting congregation, pointing out the necessity of suitable exertions on the part of the public on this question, and containing likewise a draft of a petition in favour of an amendment of the law, and soliciting him to take such steps as may be necessary to promote a petition to Parliament upon the subject from his parish or congregation. The Noble Chairman, in acknowledging a vote of thanks, pledged himself to use every exertion in his power to obtain the Bill, and the meeting separated. THE QUEEN'S STAG HOUNDS.—We have to record another excellent run with these hounds on Monday last. The meet was Beaconsfield, where the stag Rob Roy, a present from the Marquis.of Breadalbane to the Noble Mas ter of the Buck Hounds, was enlarged at a quarter past twelve o'clock to a field of. eighty or ninety horsemen. On starting he took to the left over Hill Farm, as if for High Wycombe, but being headed in a ploughed field, after run ning a couple of miles, he turned short into the thick covert of Peen-wood, where, however, he was too good to make a long stay. From this point up to Little Kingshill, a distance of about six miles, the pace was literally racing, and the fencing difficult. Leaving Kingshill behind him, he held on his course with unabated speed to Great Missenden, at about a mile beyond which place he crossed the high-road leading to Aylesbury. Here there was a brief check, but the hounds quickly hitting off the scent, followed over the high range of hills to the north-east of Missenden, thence across Hunt's green to .Lee, and over the Charteridge hills, almost to Hawridge, where, being now closely pressed, he turned short into Chesham Bottoms, and was taken at the residence of Mr. Field, about three miles from Tring. Lord Kinnaird, Lord W. Beresford, Mr. G. Vyse, Sir Watkin Wynn, Mr. Worley, Captain Maxwell, and three or four others, were up at the take, but the field generally was scattered far and wide. The distance covered in this fine run could not b e less than 22 or 23 miles, which was done i n something under two hours and a quarter. For pace, continuance, and formi dable fencing, it may fairly claim to be reckoned among the best and severest runs of the season. AMERICAN NA VY.—ln August, 1839, the following statement is given of this great arm a the na tional defence:—Ships of the line, three of 74 guns, seven of 80, and:one of 120—Total 11. Frigates, one of 54 guns, fourteen of 44, and two of 36—Total 17. Sloops of war twenty, brigs two, schooners eight, and steam-ships (small) two. With so feeble a force they could evidently offer no opposition to the British at sea, while their extensive coasts, and several of their consider able towns, have no adequate defences. They lie open to the attack of an enterprising enemy, as also their ex tended trade, which, in the course of a few weeks, would be swept away from the ocean by the war secamers of this country, ranging, as th e y wou ld d o, a l ong t he whole coast, and captu r i ng every t hi ng i n t h e i r way. lb?,tu-e of steam in n av i gat i on g i ves a f ear f u l e f f ect to maritime war.

INFLUENZA AND FEVER. DR. NORRIS'S DROPS are a certain remedy for Fevers, Colds, Influenza, and all Diseases that arise from obstructed perspirati n n. The Medicine here recom mended to the Practitioner and the Public is composed of articles known to be the most anti-putrescent, combined with the ingredient known to the profession, as the only certain antidote for Fevers cf every description. When the disease is produced either from cold, obstruction, bad air, swampy and damp situa ti ns, or putrid miasma, whether malignant or epidemic, or by o ther causes, this medicine is certain in its operation and effects, it produces the mo s t gentle andfic, salutary perspiration, and by a specific quality, p ecu l iar to itse lf , no t only expels the disease, but restores arid invigor a t es t h e s y s tem.

PRIOR THE lON/AN ISLANDS. (From Ii Mediterraneo of March 10.) " The proclamation of Sir Howard Douglas convening the Parliament of the United States of the lonian I.:thads has given rise to the follow ing reflections from our Correspondent at Zante." (The address alluded to in the latter is that wiiich was lately presented to the Queen by Dr. Gaeta). His Excellency Eir Howard Douglas has convoked for the ttti► Li' March an extraordinary u•ecting of the seventh Parbatter.% It will not excite surprise to say that this news is nor a litre terrifying to the I :nian people, since fatal experience allows them to augur no good from a❑ un [acted convocation of a body .sbict► has lost their confi dence. Numerous conjectures are formed on the subject, among which the most probable one appears that the Cocks are to be put into temporary execution. If this conjecture be true, what fresh misfortune will not fall upon the lonian ueople, and with what new shame will not the un blushing seventh Parliament be covered. While a number of cif zens groan in dungeons, and others have been barged and gu►llo►ined by virtue of a transitory penal law, that is to say, a law which exists to-day and to morrow may be no long rin force, the lonians must now sec not only their personal safety, but tlie;r property and their comn:e•ce subject to the regulation; of a transitory law. The criminal, cbil, and commercial codes put into tem porary execution ! Oil this monstrous, unheard of example in the /meals of legislation could never be seen but in the lonian St:to. But were not these same codes passed by ac clamation a short time ago by this said assembly? Toe world was thunderstruck to perceive that a nation was shortly to be governed by laws unexamined, undiscusEed, but adopted by acclamation, and great impatience was shown for the appear ance of this master-piece of legisla tion. Does not acclamation imply the idea of a possible perfeetioir?' What adverse destiny wilt then induce this same assembly to retract their own work by giving tempo rary force to those cotes which a few months ago they passed with acclamation ? If the Codes be put into farce provisionally, that is by way of experiment, sooner or later they must be again discussed, to acquire a definitive character, and thus the Codes voted by acclamation and the seventh Parliament. by the sery act of the same Parliament, Jail' be dote away with, it Leing quite ctrtain that it would be a compro mising of the dignity of her Majesty's Government to re solve to continue any longer the existence of a Parliament which in so many ways has brought upon itself disci edit. ZaNTE, FEB. 10, 1841.—The Zacynthians shocked at the charge brought by Sir H. Douglas against them, as xell as the inhabitants of the other Islands, of disaffection towards Great Britain, took advantage of the first oppor tunity to protest their attachment aid affection for the English nation, by presenting an address of congratula tion on the happy event of the birth cf the first-born daughter of her Majesty, their most gracious protectress, in which address they petitioned for an improvement' cf their political condition. Never was there an address signed with greater readi ness and enthusiasm.' The citizens ran in crowds to affix their signatures ti a paper which, though projected by private individuals, was by them fully approved. And so great was the throrg and the zeal that in the very short space of live days, in a population of thirt)-five thousaci', more thin nine thousand persons, among whom the first were my Lord Metropolita and several in office, mani fested their attachment to the nation which protects them, and the hopes of a better future. The Government, however, enraged that the suppert ers of the opposition should know and leel their duties better than itself, and perceiving at the same time that her Majesty would read in that document an undeni able contradiction of the false assertions of Sir floaard, prepared in haste a counter-address, which taking away the request of improvement, and substitu ting declarations cf full satisfaction, with the actual condi tion a affairs, was nearly a copy of one which all the ci tizens had already signed. What, then, were the surprise and attonisliment of all classes of people, to petc:i:e, that breaking through all regard, the Government declared itself so plainly the enemy of its own country, by endea vouring to interrupt in so unbecoming a manner the se:.- timents of a spontaneous congratulation which ►he people wished to offer to their Queen, and by placing itself in a hostile attitude between an entire population and its exclu sive Protectress The people evinced their indignation, and refused to sign ; the Government acted shamefully, and venation.; be gan mose viclent and imprudent than ever. An acting Justice of the Peace, Dr. &tonic) S!rsvopodi, brother in-law to the most excellent Regent, was sezn holding the address, and smiling graciously upon the contending par ties, who were waiting the decision of their cause, requesting them previously to affix their signatures. The Municipal Officer of Provisions, Mr. Antonio Micalizzi, brother-it law a'so of the Regent, accompanied by Mr. Zav,andino, a third brother-in-law of the same personage, was neea running about the city, and obliging tavern-keepers, fish monger!, bekers, cheescmongers, &c., to sign it. Ttio,:e who complied through fear were rewarded by an increase of price on their vai iota articles, while the recusants were subjectei to Les, and compelled to close their shops and tavern,. Lastly, the quintessence cf dregs, the contrac tor for salt, whose despicable name our pm refuses to trace, was seen with the address on his table, impudently threatening to refuse a supply of that necessary article to the poor countr i men who refused t.s subscribe their namcc. By these and sitrilar means the disturber of public ord. r, the designing exciter of scandaloui scenes, the present Government, succeeded in adding to the sigaatures of the police a very limited number of names, among which, to the surpri e of none, again appeared first and foremost those of my Lord Metropolita and the persons in office, who the preceding day had spontaneously signed another address on a similar subject, but of a different tendency. The fAlowing letter, referring to the same subject, has just Leon forwarded to us : TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sfa,—Previously to quitting the lonian Islands, and during this kind of interregnum, Sir Howard Douglas is determined to give c iil further and indelible proofs of the plenitude of his power. After having caused to be inserted in the lonian Gazette, es a warning to the employ 6-, an opinion a;triouted to Washington,* he ordered the Senate to dismiss from their offices several persons of known in tegrity and talent, whose consciences would not permit them to put their names to the Address which S r Howard got up last year, as an expression of the gratitude of the loi.ian people [aft_.r his warm eulogy tf them in his despatch of the 10th April, 1840] for his pa ternal anxiety to promote the welfare of these States, and as a declaration of their conviction that every charge against such a benefactor is purely a machinati:A of ca lumny. Nor was this sufficient : he wanted to make cv,n spiritual authority subservient to his purpose; consequently the dignitaries of the Church, who, knoa iog the words of the Aedrers to be unirm , , would not injure their chLricter by attesting them with their signature, were made to feel his wrath. Such is the conduct of Sir Howard*Douglas in tio lonian Islands, and of that which is required f, ern the em ployes, AS well as front the clergy themselves. Let it be observed, also, that at the inauguration of the last Par liament, the employes were confirmed in their offices, and h:ve, the,efore, a tight to enjoy the ads antiges arising therefrom during the entire quinquennium. Can it, then, be asseted that the citizens concurred spontaneously in augmenting the number of signatures affixed to addresses under such circumstances ? Is it not evident that violence was done to the frcelom of opiNion. and that such repeated acts corrupt the people, teachir.g and authorizing them to prac:ise lying, and to attest, in opposi:ian to their concienm, things which are not true? Hence it is, that, restrained by tne unlimited power of the police, the people cannot obey the impulse of their will, even in seeking redress for but a portion of their numerous grievances. It is for this reason that they dare not, although privwely, give their signatures even on oc casims the most lawful and obligatory. If the people wish to address an avowal of gratitude to their august Protectress, unless the whole thing is under the direction of the agents of the Government, to sign it is a c , irne, and all who take part in the affair become, henceforth, marked men. The dismioals of which we have spoken are used also for the purpose of intimidating those passive individuals who readily yield to authors y ; as it is whispered that a new address is to be prepared in favour of Sir Howard. Sir Howard Douglas has, however, committed rather a blunder by quoting the opinion of Washington. Every body knows what principles that great man possessed and supported, and what are the principles entertained by Sir Howard, principles diametrically opposed to those of his own country and Government, and leading him to invadu i , as absolute monarch, the constitutional powers of the lonian Islands. We may, therefore, rightfully conclude, that those whom Sir Howard characterizes as enemies of the lonian Go vernment are, on ti,e contrary, the true friends of that Government, rega►ding it in the light of its true constitu tional principles, and not in a spirit of despotism ; and that Sir Howard, in persecuting all who retain a siegle spark of liberalism, persecutes those who are net less the friends of his own, tl.an of the lonian Government, such as it ought to be. I have the honour to be, yours. Sic. Colonial Club, April 3, 1841. AN lONIAN. • The opinion, said to be taken from a "Life of Washing ton," written by M. Guizor, the French Minister, is to the following effect;—" Notice to Candidates for Office.—As long as I shall have the honour of administering the Government, I shall never confer any post, however small its importance, on any man whose political principles are contrary to the measures of the Government, as 1 am persuaded that a political suicide would be committed by acting differently." JOAN OF ARC, THE MAID OF ORLEANS.— Mr. Serle's romance, so long announced, is at length on the eve of publication. In choosing the admirable subject of " Joan of Arc" for bis coup d'essai as a writer of prose fiction, Mr. Serie has shown that union of boldness ar.d judgment which has eharacterhed his b. at dramatic efforts. There cannot be a finer theme, and we understand that in order to treat it with the care it deserves, Mr. Serie has visited every remarkable locality connected with its chief events. Domremy, Neufehatcaii, Na ncy, Orleans, Poitiers, Tours, Blois, Troyes , Chalons, Rheims, C orn _ peigne, Rouen ; these are but a few of the places th roug h which he has traced , step by step, h er extraord!mry career; and as it so happens that several of these citiel are familiar with English tourists, the work will derive an incidental interest from the recollections that it will call ur. Lord John Russell will sojourn, during the , Easter recese, at the Duke of Bedford's beautiful cottaga at Endsleigh, near Tavistock, EVENING EDITION MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—A great, sensation was occasioned in the City to-day at the absence from their house of business of Mr. F. Wakefield and his son, who carry on business as bankers and stockbrokers, under the firm of " I'. Wakefield and co." The house is one of the oldest in the list of London bankers, although it has been lately but little known in that cwity. Their absence has given rise to various rumour's, One of Whleh is that their deficiencies amount to about 70,000/.... Mr. Wakefield was the treasurer of the managers of the Stock- Exchange, and the committee of managers sat to-day to•in quire into the state of their affairs in connexiotr with him, when an inspection of their cabs-box showed they had sus tained no loss. It should be distinctly understood' that the committee of managers manage the property of the Stock- Exchange,. while the general committee manage the business. It is necessary to make this remark, because a rumour has gone abroad that the general committee sat on th? affair, which is not the case, nor would it be a matter for their deli beration. • The English Stoelis have not been firm to-day, and it is • ught a rasher increased deinan , l for money at yesterday's rases has principally acted upon the market. CHRONICLE.—The Market for British Securities hai been flat to-day, although unattended by any alteration, in price. There has been considerable excitement on the Stock Exchange, in consequence of the disappearancd of an old mem ber of the house, who acted as treasurer cf the decayed cued, and also as manager of the house revenues. The, party in question was also engaged in b us i nt FS as a private banker, but in a very sma I way, along with his son, in Bread street. We have been informed that the Committee on. Ranks of Issue have determined on examining two witnesses only from Scotland, to give evidence on the system of banking and currency in that quarter of the kingdom. The banking interests in Scotland are split into two sections, we hear, like the Church both of England and Scot land. They are at present suffering from internal divisions and schism, one party being in favour of the high note, the other for a low note system. Under this state of things, we hope the Commit.. tee will deal impartially with both parties ; and if they have resqlved to adduce two witnesses;only, that they will select ose from each, so as to give the people of Scotland the benefit of a full and impartial inquiry. The investigation, to be satis factory, must not be liable to the imputation of being " Ong sided.' In a matter of such vital importance to the future well-being of the entire community, the Committee are bound to elicit the truth, and this, perhaps, they cannot accomplish in a question attended with so much intricacy and diversity of opinion, without giving the views o f th e most exper i enced men on both sides. But the Committee have confined themselves, we understand, to the examination of two witnesses generally for each separate class of professional interests involved in the inquiry ; and if this be the case, the Scotch barkers cannot complain if they should be restricted to the same number, pro vided the gentlemen selected shall be acknowledged as their fair and full representatives. When parties differ among them selves, however, it is alway s diffi cu l t to get them to agree in the choice of delegates, and the Committee may have found it necessary in this instance to make their own selection. POST.--The leading subject of conversation among men of business of all classes was another of those distressing cases of suspension of payment which have become so frequent of late. It was ascertained at ass ealy hour of the day that Messrs. Wakefield and Son, of Broad -street, who have for many 3 ears past been in the enjoyment of a high degree of po pularity as stockbrokers and private bankers, and whose credit remained unimpaired up to the close of the Stock Exchangt sterday, had disappeared; parties cal' ing at their office for the purpose of receiving moneys being referred to their solicitors. The elder Mr. Wakefield was treaserer of the Decayed Members' Fund, formerly chairman of the General Committee of the Stock Exchange, and, we be lieve, All an influential member of the body. The firm were in the confidence of the Equitable Life Assurance :Com pany for whom they acted as brokers. Their connection with that eminent institution was alone sufficient to give them a superior standing in the line of business in tallith they were engaged, so that they were freely trusted with the custody of negotiable securities of all descriptions, the safety of which. whatever amount was in their hands, is not, we hope, te be doubted. The hatits of Messrs. Wakefield have been so uniformly quiet and business-like as to forbid the suspicion of an improper use having been made of any prepetty of the sort. The claims upon the house, on Stock Lxch;rige• ac count, are said not to be large, the more considerable proper -ion being distributed among its private eonrectious. several of the personal friends of the parties will, it is feared, be, as is too often the case on the occasion of failures, severely in jured. It is rumoured that Messrs. 'Wakefield obtained yesterday, in common with other bankers, a large amount of dividend warrants from the Bank of Eng land. There has not yet been time to procure payment of such warrants, but it is taken for granted that no difficulty would have been found in getting advanses of cash upon ihem. Messrs.. Wakefield were, we hear, in the position of guarantees for an official assignee of the Court of 13ankruptcy. The dis closures made the other day in the case of Mr. Abbott may possibly have led to a more rigorous observance on the part of the Commissioners of the regu!atiens appertaining. to this re sponsible class of men, and, assuming that the individual gua ranteed has placed ,urns of money to some eats nt belonging to the creditors in whose behalf lie has befit employed in their hinds, the embarrassments of Messrs. Wakefield may have been brought on in a great measure by the necessity which has existed for the withdrawal of the same at a short notice. By an Order in Council inserted in last night's Gazette it is declared, in pursuance of certain Acts of Parliament passed in the third and fourth years of the reign of her present Majesty, that the ships of all such foreign Powers as have treaties of reciprocity with this country, and the cargoes imported or exported therein, shall be admitted on payment of like rates of duties and tolls with these charged on British vessels and their cargoes. This order is one of very considerable importance to the mercantile and shipping classes, and of some interest to the public generally. It is thought extraordinary, therefore, that when the intenti on o f G overnment was formally made known on the subject through the columns of the Gazette, the foreign Powers having treat es of reciprocity with us, and which are to participate iu the change, could not have been enumerated. It 13 not to be supposed that every merchant carries in his memory a preid,e knowledge of all the commercial treaties and arrange ments entered into between his own and other States. The niggardliness of our officials in their mode of putting informa tion of this nature before the public, although they must neces sarily have the requisite materials at their fingers' ends, has frequently been pointed out to us in terms of well-merited disgust. AE __RALT).—An extraordinary degree of excitement was occasioned on the Stock Lxchange, as well as in the City ge nerally, by the non-aprearanee at the usual hours of business this mornitw, and subsequent ann ouncemen t o f t h e fa i lure, of Mesos. I.Valefield and Son, the very old established Stockbrokers, carrying on a banking business as well in Ne.v . Broad-street. This event caused very considerable surprise, and does no.t appear to have been in the, least anticipated in any quarter down to the last moment. The firm was one of ling standing, of high respectability on the Stock Exchange, and of credit unquestioned Its con nections were also of firs'-rate importance and value, as may ba estimated by the single fact that, among others of note. the house acted as brokers for a'l the vast stock transactions of the Equitable Assurance Company, the well-known wealthiest corporation in the world. What may be the amount ins olved in this unfortunate insolvency cannot, of course, he yet known with any sort of certainty ; some reports carry it as high as 19.0,00(7., but ii is believed, in quarters more likely to be cor rectly informed, not to exceed 60,000/. Neither the proxi mate or more remote causes of the stoppage can be eves gues4ed at, for, singular to state, it is understood that they transacted bona fide stock-brokering business for prin cipals only, that they were not in the habit of jobbing or speculating on their own account, and have actu ally no account of the sort open row, so that as far as the Stock Exchange is in question on that head it is sup posed they cannot be declared to be defaulters in the usual way, that is, posted on the black board. It is understood how ever, that they were concerned in various trusts in their bank ing business, as well as for the Stock Exchange, where the elder partner of the firm was tiea.urer of the fund for the relief of decayed members. There are various reports in cir culation in respect of large losses incurred under the head of these trusts, which it is not necessary to advert to, as alter all they may be cleared up, and the trust moneys lying probably in deposit with the bankers, with whom, distinct from their own banking concern, they kept a private account for their stock business. The answer at their office to all inquiries of parties interested, was a reference to their solicitors. Alto gether it is very rarely that any event if the kind has p ro d uce d so painful an impression as this failure. SUN.—The disappearance from !ha Market t0,1a5 of a party who did a large bona fide business in his capacity of broker, and who bore a highly -respectable chsua-ter, has had an injurious effect upon the value of the public secu rities, which closed a shade lower.
