PUBLIC OPINION. (From The Sun of Monday Evening.) The Morning Post devotes nearly two columns of a leading article to the consideration of the Earl of Shrews bury's pamphlet on the Corn-laws, with which our Con temporary is highly gratified, observing :—" Most justly does the Noble Lord maintain that religious principle and sentiment, so far as they bear upon the question, arc against the changes proposed by the agitators, and that the idea of sacrificing the whole landed property of the country to satisfy the mania for commercial specu• lotion is indeed anti-Catholic and anti-Christian." — The drift of this remark is obvious to the most obtuse capacity. It is anti-Catholic and. anti-Christian to in terfere in any way with the monopoly of the wealthy, influential landowners; but perfectly right and proper to sacrifice the welfare—nay, the very existence—ef thou sands of the labouring classes to that monopoly! The essence of true Christianity consists in passing lightly over the rich, in order to fall with a more crushing .weight on the poor; and as the Corn-laws admirably work out this principle, it follows, as a necessary conse quence, that those who oppose them are anti-Catholic and anti-Christian. Such is the only inference that can be drawn from our Contemporary's remark in the above passage. The Times congratulates its readers on the symptoms of returning tranquillity throughout Ireland, as will be seen by the following passage :—" The reverend persons who lead the Roman Catholic worship of Ireland, feel ing, probably, that their past political interferences have but served to prolong the now tottering ascendancy of their country's evil genius, are, in general, maintain ing at present the most orderly and dutiful demean our. At the great Tipperary meeting in favour of Repeal, only two Roman Catholic Clergymen at tended ; and the - consequence was that the muster, which had been expected to number 30,000, comprised only 2,000 people. The example and advice of the Rev. Mr. Bermingham, the priest of Borrisokane, were thus not thrown away. Quietness and general contentment seem to be common throughout Ireland. Indeed, all that is wanted to restore that country to the most sound and healthful condition, is merely a little patience and reasonable moderation on the part of her generous people. If the Roman Catholic community will only be temperate in their behaviour, not preposterously ex travagant in their demands, and exercise a becoming confidence in their present rulers, we may fairly anti cipate, at no distant day, the most happy and successful results." The Advertiser tints defines the general character of Lord Stanley's late speech on his re-election for North Lancashire:—" If there could ever have been a doubt on the nature of the Premier's policy, there can be none now, since Sir James Graham and Lord Stanley have spoken out. It is, then, determined that the country is to continue to groan under the Corn-laws ; that the ma nufacturing- interest is to be victimised to the monster prerogatives of the lords of the soil, and, consequently, that the most prescious rights of the nation, which arising Out of, are inseparable from, the freedom of the commercial principle, are to be the immolation at the shrine of oligarchical cruelty and oppression. Lord Stanley's speech is a model of unrivalled arrogance. Its insolence and audacity are without bounds—its positions are positively stale to rottenness—its arguments are re futed tritisins—and its whole purport and bearing as foreign to the taste as to the conviction of Englishmen." The Chronicle says :—" The danger to the peace of the country is great ; and we call uponthemiddle classes and all who have yet something to lose, to look that danger manfully in the face. Should the people break out, the consequences in a country like this, in which so much depends on the preservation of order, may be serious indeed. It is quite clear that the Government will do nothini , if not compelled. But the middle ranks may compel the Government to do something to appease the peop!e, who are convinced that they are the victims of . injustice; if they will only put their shoulders to the wheel, it is yet time to avert the mischief. Opportunity ought to he taken by the forelock: Should the flame burst forth, no man knows how far it may spread. It has often been said that the instinct of self-preservation is strong in property. 'We trust that instinct will guide it aright. But if the occasion be neglect ed, repentance may come when it is too late."— It is indeed but too clear, as our Contemporary observes, that Government will do nothing, except on compulsion. To expect remedial measures f rom them as an ac t of grace, is to expect an impossibility. They must be frightened—bullied—into concessions, by threats of the loss of place and power. They must be made to feel that their salaries arc in danger unless they do justice to the people. There is no other way that we know of to make them act like honest men. To a certain extent, the people have their remedy in their own hands. Let them threaten to kick out Doctor Tory and call in Doctor Whig, and the prescription will be instantly forthcoming. The ILrald is of opinion that the Government should lose no time in setting about the entire remodelling of the New Poor-law. This appears to be our Contempo rary's panacea for all grievances, past, present, and to come. The following are his observations on this sub ject :—" Let a Conservative Ministry, by manifesting not merely a barren intention, but vigorous preparation to remodel the New Poor-law—to communicate to its operation impartiality tempered by mercy, firmness modified by charity, benevolence chastened by pru dence, economy in managing recommended by sympathy in administering the vast funds collected for the relief of pauperism :—let them knit the hearts of the poor, the attachments ' of those which labour in sorrow and reap in mourning '—that family, in short, of suffer ing humanity, which, in every moral as well as political sense, has the strongest claims upon our charity and our consideration—in bonds of inalienable respect and affec tion. Never did a Government, in this country, stand so well as that of her Majesty's present Ministers, for the opportunity of securing the gratitude and confidence of that class of the people whose confidence and grati tude it is at all times among the most incessant, the most anxious, and the most difficult objects of any Go- Vernment to obtain." In reference to the late general election, the Bristol Mercury observes :—" There can be no doubt that the late general election was marked by the most enormous bribery, and that the Tories effected a real triumph over the Liberals in breaking down their principles, and in driving them to meet corruption by corruption. True, we believe, that the Liberals were the 'little sinners,' and that where they expended shillings the Tories ex pended pounds, but it is not to be the less 'regretted that the former have followed an evil example, and attempted to fight the Conservatives with their weapons." The following is from the Limerick Reporter : " Neither in Peel nor his party can confidence ever be reposed. Peel is a mere actor, destitute of one ingredient of sincerity. The open foe is more easily avoided than the double-faced trickster. Irishmen ! therefore, be ware of Peel!" • The Scotsman observes of Lord Stanley's speech at North Lancashire- that—" His whole harangue was no thing more than an elaborate plea for suffering the Toiy Government to draw their salaries in peace." The Liverpool Chronicle insists that Sir R. Peel has fairly duped the people by his conduct since his acces sion to office :—" The man has positively forced himself into office under false pretences. The amendment to the address which he and his partisans carried, pledged them to a consideration of the Corn-laws and other com mercial restrictions, if only the fleshpots of office could be first secured. They have obtained the latter and now with that worse than Punica fides which has ever bean characteristic of Toryism, they wish to evade the f4Trer." Th Cambrian remarks, as follows, on Sir Robert Peel's present position :—" Peel knows that he neeu not reply to the voice of the people demanding his views on the Corn-laws, because he has a Parliamentary ma• j( rlty of ninety-nine. What need has he to chop logic with tin Mr. Ot wa y C ave or with Mr. Cobden, when, for arres g the movement of the people until winter, he can point to his rank and file of monopolists, and say, as the officer who arrested Charles the First said of his pint d, "I here is my warrant.' Heedless, indeed, must any Administration be of a coming storm, which can reply to the demands a a hungry people by an oration on air or Ilarmth." In an ankle on the subject of the Penny Postage, the Bolton Free Press makes the following remarks :- 6, N;any seem to think that Sir R. Peel is too politic to brave the unpopularity which will certainly be the por -Ministry t h at dares to interfere with the pre tion of any sen t rates of postage.

It escaped him that the Man- Mester election was a sentence on his own duplicity I MORNING SUN THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1841. Would Manchester have rejected a candidate likely to be able to serve its interests so effectually as Sir George Murray, if Manchester had believed the sincerity of Sir Robert Peel's intentions to act on his own professed ge neral principles ?—on the principles which Sir G.Murray was sent to placard all over Manchester ? STANDARD.—We do not deny that England has an advantage in being the first to apply machinery to the spinning of cotton, but this advantage, like every other arising from mere priority is no more than temporary. Had it not been for protection, the manufacture had long since passed to, and grown up in other hands. The materials of the cotton manufacture, as of every other manufacture, are capital, mechanical power, and human labour. Now, let the markets of Eng land, the great entrepot of the world, be once opened to foreign cotton goods, and what must follow ? Why, that capital will wander to the Continent, where it will find mechanical power at least as cheap, and human labour much cheaper, than in England. We have coals, it will be said, for our steam engines ; yes, but not to go further than the opposite shores of the straits, they have very good coals in Belgium, coals quite good enou"h for manufacturing purposes in Picardy and Artois, excellent coals in Brittany, and the coast at least is open to coals from Englaud ; but our foreign competitors would not be dependent upon coals—they have abundance of water power, which is cheaper than steam power in the proportion of five to twenty-four. As to labour, Mr. Senior has shown that the average of labour, from the Scheldt to the Seine is but 6s. a-week. What, then, would there be to prevent Mr. Cobden removing his capital to build mills upon the opposite coast, if the protection which he enjoys were withdrawn, so as to avail him self of the increased profits afforded by cheaper labour, and the increased sale by a free inlet to the Continent ? The transfer' could not take place at once, but it would take place very rapidly—all the new mills would be built at the other side of the Channel, and the new mills almost annually amount to half the number of the old ones. Let the working manufac turers look to this. The day in which the cotton ma nufacture loses protection they may count upon their ser vices as no longer necessary. The mill-owners and their money will depart for countries where they can have labour at a less price ; but it must be idle to expect that manufacturers can be protected many days after agriculture shall have been stripped of all defence against competition. The working manufacturers who now lend themselves to the anti-Corn-law cry, are really la bouring to give to foreigners the power of manufacturing, not for themselves only, but for all the world, including Great Britain and the British colonies. COURIER.—We have been somewhat amused of late with particular recapitulations on various occasions of all the great doings and measures of the late Ministry in very special detail, or, as the booksellers would say, in the shape of a catalogue raissonne. It will be sufficient to dispose of this catalogue at once by the assertion, which cannot be gainsaid, that the merit of all such measures as really are of an ac knowledged beneficial tendency belongs almost exclu sively to the Conservative party and the Conservative statesmen, of whose policy, the foundations of which were laid and the superstructure in sound and gradual pro gress long before the advent of the late Whig Govern ment, they are but the necessary continuation. Even of the class of measures of more questionable utility in the form originated by the Whigs, it may be truly said that in their present shape they are more peculiarly the work of Conservative hands, by which the mis chievous fangs of the first proposed enactments were drawn and substituted by more wholesome legislation, and of the Conservative votes in both Houses of Parliament, without which in the amended shape in which they now appear in the Statute book, they never could have passed. This has more exclusively been the case since 1835, when Con servatism may be said to have been the dominant characteristic of both Houses, but even from 1830 to 1835 the controlling voice of the Upper House alone interposed an effectual barrier against the rash career of Whig legislation, excepting in the single in stance of the Reform Bill. But when the surpass ing achievements of the Whig Government in its policy and legislation are so loudly trumpetted, and their undivided honour so exclusively appro priated, we would simply ask their fawning retainers to point out one, one only, original measure of acknow ledged importance and advantage nationally, which passed the Legislature in its primitive form, or which had not to be recast, licked into constitutional, intelligible, and practical proportions, and divested of an encum bering mass of substantial and even of technical blunders, by Conservative skill, intelligence, and statesmanship? FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.— When Sir Robert Peel was in opposition, it used to be the boast of himself and his friends that they were the party by which the country fres governed, the Whigs merely holding the offices of State, while the power belonging to them was, in fact, wielded by the Conservatives. Upon looking at the long list of liberal measures that were carried by the late Ministers, we can hardly give to the Tories the credit of having done all the work, while the Whigs took all the pay ; but it is certain that the new Cabinet is strongly impressed with the notion that repose is the proper attitude for those in place, whilst activity is to be left to the oppo nents of the Government. Though it is not a bed of roses on which Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues are thrown,' they seem determined to go to sleep upon it, and making themselves comfortable with the easy expe dient of a loan—just by way of a bolster for present use —they wrap themselves up in the warm blanket ing of Downing-street, and desiring that they may not be disturbed till February next, insist upon playing the parts of sleeping beauties until the regular period for the assembling of Parliament. " But," says Sir Robert Peel, "if we are going to lie still for a few months, we shall be thinking r jf not acting, for the good of the country ; and if we are granted a perfect freedom from interruption during the period we ask, it will enable us to bring our cogitations to matu rity." We know that philosophers are much given to dreaming, and that brilliant discoveries have darted on the mind when in a state almost between sleeping and waking ; indeed, we could quote numerous instances of great truths in science, as well as great mental concep tions, having been brought to light while those to whom they have occurred were in their beds ; but we expect no such satisfactory result from the pro longed siesta of the new Ministers. We have heard that Paganini acquired the perfection he attained on one string, by practising while on his couch ; but we do not think that Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues, if they resolve to scrape and fiddle for the next five months on one jarring chord of the Corn-laws, will be able to produce much more harmony upon it than they have as yet elicited. The time they ask will not bring them to one accord, but they hope that delay may allow matters to take such a turn as will cause the one string of Corn-law repeal to be less constantly harped upon, and thus relieve them from one chance, at least, of exposing the discord which prevails among them, and 'which, if brought into play, must destroy them as a Government. STANDARD.—The debates in the two Houses of Parliament last night were long, but they have more length, perhaps, than interest. In the House of Lords Lord Brougham called for some information on the sub• ject of prison discipline. The Noble and Learnt(' Lord complained of the diversity of system and dietary in different prisons, and went somewhat out of his way to animadvert upon certain recent convictions and punishments for non-attendance at public worship. As to the diversity of system and dietary in different prisons, it is a matter scarcely deserving of notice while we know that everywhere prisoners are on the whole well treated. The greatest of all anomalies is uniformity, when applied to the heterogeneous characters and condi tions of men. Every one can see the folly that a tailor or shoemaker would commit in making all his wares by one measure, and the stupidity of keeping up the same fires in our stoves. or the same windows and doors shut or open, or using the same apparel every day in the year and in every climate. Not less stupid or ab surd, however, is the expectation of governing all men every where by the same system and supporting them by the same diet. In one district the class of prisoners may ba kept in good order, and placed in a state of moral FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF MONDAY. Consols for the Account were quoted a shade lower just previous to the termination of business, the quota tion being 89}, sellers, and 891 to Money. New Three-and-a• Half per Cents., 981 to I. Exchequer Bills declined ls., being quoted at 14s. to 16s. prem. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—It is understood that the sealed tenders delivered to-day at the Bank of England, specifying the sums for which the offerers subscribe to the 5,000,0001. loan or funding of Exchequer Bills, have not much exceeded 3,500,0001. The utmost that comes to the Exchequer under this operation, therefore, is only 1,750,0001. in cash, and the same amount of Exchequer Bills sent in to be funded. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will, of course, put the best face on it, and as he has got something to go on with, says he has been successful in all his wishes ; but say what he may, his original object was to raise a paltry loan of 2,500,0001, and to fund as much in Exchequer Bills ; and, after a week's notice, he is much under the stun proposed, and this esta blishes what we said at the outset, that he had not allowed a sufficient margin for the fall. Consols (11 not maintain the price of Saturday. , The open ing pri:e this morning was 891 to lA for the Account, but in consequence of some heavy sales by influential brokers, the market gave way to 89;, the closing price. These operations for a fall may be attributed to the 5,000,0001. creation of new Stock, which will come on the market, it the funding be car ried out to the full extent, and some parties may have sold for the Account against their subscriptions when they found that their tenders had all been taken. It is is said in some quarters that the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be contented with the amount subscribed, which will answer all his immediate wants, and that the Bank of England will supply him when he needs further assistance; but the Old Lacy has not, we hear, as yet come forward, and even threatens to reject the Right Hon. Gentleman's offers altogether; but in this we put no faith. TIMES.—As a matter of official etiquette the particulars of the funding of Exchequer Bills, the tenders for which closed to-day at one o'clock, are not certainly known, the cashier of the Bank of England having deemed it right to communicate the result in the first instance to the Chancellor of the Ex chequer. Various rumours have, however, been afloat as to the amount offered for conversion, and while the general report on the Stock Exchan g e fi xe d it at 3 , 50 0,000 1 ., others estimated it at about 3,000,0001., while some, and those of high standing, were inclined to be lieve it would not be found to exceed 2,800,0001. The causes which have operated against the con version of the whole amount proposed, are supposed to be the high value of money, and the present abundance of Stock. Expectations that the Scotch bankers would come forward en this occasion are also said to have proved erroneous, as the rate of interest prevailing in Scotland has been such as to give sufficient inducement for the employment of money there. In the West of England there is in all probability a strong ne cessity among the bankers to keep their funds by them, as the recent failure of Messrs. Hobhouse,of Bath, has in some measure shaken the confidence of the public, andcreated a run upon many of the banks in that part of the country. A few of the private London bankers (one at the west end), besides one of the Joint-stock Banks, are known to have come into the operation, but in general the city bankers prefer employing their money in mercantile purposes to investing it in Government Securities. The Exchequer Bill market has declined a little since the closing of the period for tenders, as the notice had naturally kept up their value, while it is said that a quantity of these Securities have come from the West of England, which has of course tended to produ c e a d ec li ne . I t s h ou ld be observed that the opinion in the city was throughout the day by no means against the ultimate success of the funding, but that it was thought highly probable, that although the appointed period had expired, it could be completed in a few days by keeping the books open for that purpose. At a late hour in the day it was understood in the City that a deputation from the Stock Exchange had waited upon the chief cashier in the Bank parlour for exact information as to the amount of the subscriptions, and that they learned that it was 3,800,000/. ; besides which, it is currently stated in the City that the sum remaining to complete the whole of the funding will be taken by the Bank of England. It is rather to be regretted that this sort of official punctilio was exercised by the chief cashier of the Bank, since it was clearly of im portance to the whole of the monied interest that they should be made acquainted as soon as possible with the exact state the subscriptions. i nprovernent, by the very same means which would 'tad to disorder and depravity in another. Men may be bad alike, without being alike otherwise. The offenders in the agricultural districts present a very dif ;'erent material to act upon from the offenders in large towns, and these again differ from offenders in manufac turing places. Justice, too, in addition to policy, requires a great latitude of adaptation in the treatment of pri soners so various. Whether men are held in custody for safe-keeping or for punishment, it is but just to mea sure the discipline to which they are subjected by its effect upon them ; and the very same treatment which would be an intolerable hardship to one man may be a very slight infliction upon another. We think it right to say so much upon this point, because the love of uniformity in legislation seems to have grown to a vicious passion. Even in the matter of dietary, uniformity is folly, as every medical man knows. Different districts demand different amounts and qualities of food. COURIER. —The extent and discursive character of last night's debate in the Commons, though extremely tempting, warn us to be brief in our comments. That ex tremely unsteady politician, and glib gabbier, who at Once represents the ignorance and talkativeness of the Manchester Anti-Corn-law clique, having on a previous evening taken upon himself to lecture the Saxmundham Agricultural Association fur its lack of loyalty, and at the same time to misrepresent its proceedings, in order to give colour t o th e c h arge, Sir C. B. Vera. one of the Members for East Suffolk, took occasion before the Chancellor of the Exchequer made his statement, to repel Mr. Gibson's calumnious imputations, which lie did most effectively. The bringing forward of such an imputa tion, as a disposition to insult her Majesty, against the Sock ty in question, and th e atteirpt to g ive it a poll deal complexion, plainly s h ows t h at th Member for Manchester in changing his politics had not changed his nature, for if we recollect ri g htly, w h en returned f r Epswich in 1837, he was, if not the most violent, at least among the most violent, in denouncing his present asso ciates as the " meanest and basest " of political fac tions ; threatening them with impeachment for their com pact alliance with preachers of sedition and disloyalty to Ireland. Such shallow, uns crupulous . parti sans, as Mr. Milner Gibson, can only injure the party to which they attach themselves, buidening it by the odium of their name and the unmeasured violence of their lan guage, trumpery groundless much rge against the t G he ibs l o oy n al an ty d hoftis the nobility, gentry, So charge gentry, and yeomanry of East Suffolk.

TIMES.—In remarking on the effect of the French loan on the Paris Bourse, Le Commerce observes, that in all probability the advance in the price of the Public Securities, which appeared to have been occasioned by the approaching adjudication of from 5,000,000 f. to 6,000,000 f. of 3 per Cent. Rentes, will turn out to be merely fictitious. The writer believes that the terms of the loan are already settled at 77f. 50c., and then ob serves that the finance is in this singular position, that while the Minister has purchased for the sinking fund 3 per Cent. Rentes at a rate exceeding 79f., he is about to negotiate his loan at the price above-mentioned, and that not to be paid much before the expiration of a year. The terms of the notice showing that the 150,000,000 f. will not be paid up till the 7th of October, 1842, while the subscribers are to receive interest from the 22d of June last, the Commerce considers this was merely a desire to raise the terms of subscrip tion. The average time of paying up the subscrip tions being the 13th of next May, a period of nearly eight months from the opening of the subscription, the subscribers will have had eight months to pay up money, during which they are receiving 2f. interest. Hence, if the price be, as is supposed, 77f. 50c., the de duction of 21. will leave the rente to the subscribers at a price of 75f. 50c. It is said that the bankers with whom M. Humann has negotiated the present loan are the same who in 1823 took 23.114,516f.Rente at a rate of 89f. 50c., when, as in the present instance, certain periods were fixed from month to month for payments into the Treasury, but instead of exacting a strict per formance of these conditions, the then Minister of Fi nance opened an account current, with mutual interest, at the rate of four per cent. per annum. The bankers, it was then found, far from anticipating their payments, were 80,000,000 f. or 100,000,000 f. in arrear for about a twelvemonth. As debtors on the account current they had of course to pay their four per cent., but on the other hand, as buyers of Fire per Cent. Rentes at 89f. 55c., they were receiving sf. for this amount—that is to say, five and a half per cent., while they were paying only, four per cent. interest. The letters from Paris mention failures of stock speculators in consequence of the sudden advance which has taken place in the value of the Rentes. POST.—Private letters from Manchester mention the failure of a house there of some magnitude; the amount of liabilities is not stated. They also represent that an increased demand for goods, but without any improve ment in prices, existed. Great complaints are made that no profit is realised ; but after the system that has been so long pursued, namely, that of manufacturing, not only without orders, but without the probability of finding a legitimate outlet, and this, too, fostered, as it has been, by the pernicious plan of affording almost un limited credit, any demand which will reduce the present heavy stocks must be looked upon as a godsend. This improvement manifests also that English productions are not, as some parties are endeavouring to show, losing ground in foreign countries. This is not the d e p ar t men t which ought to be devoted to politics ; but it is quite clear that if the demand above alluded to arise from the importation of corn, bullion will not be required to pay for it, and if not, the Corn-laws have but little conc:!re in the question as to whether other countries will supply their wants by taking our manufactures. CHRONICLE.—This being a strict holiday with the gentlemen of the Hebrew persuasion, business has been extremely stagnant on the Stock Exchange, where scarcely any business of moment was transacted through out the day. The great object of attention is the fund ing of the 5,000,000 r .of Exchequer Bills. It is said that the Bank Directors are prepared to take up any deficit that may exist in the amount required to be subscribed for, and we have no doubt that such is the fact ; for we stated, some weeks since, that the Chancellor of the Ex chequer and the Bank Parlour had come to an under standing. But the " funding" of Exchequer Bills is merely a secondary consideration. The offer of one-half money, instead of Exche quer Bills, is now admitted to have been the " ori ginal object of the measure" on the part of the Treasury. If this part of the scheme should fail, the Right Honourable Financier will gain but little by his motion, and if he should succeed in it, then we have an immediate addition of 5,000.0001. to the funded debt. If he do not, and it should all be subscribed in Exchequer Bills, we have that addition just the same to the funded debt, and must soon have a re-issue of Exchequer Bills. The Bank will, no doubt, give advances, if required ; but how long the Directors will be able to avoid ap pearing in that case, as sellers on the Money Market, is a question which we leave them to answer. With the near approach of the dividends, and the late heavy in crease in their liabilities, they ought to look well to their true position before addi ng m that way to their circu lation. MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT WEST CASE OF M'LEOD. (From the New York Herald of Sept. 2.) HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Atm. 31. The House resumed the consideration of the resolution ailing upon the President to inform the House whether any officer of the army or the Attorney-General of the United States had, since the 4th of March last, been di rected to visit the State of , New York for any purpose connected with the imprisonment or trial of M'Leod ; and, if so, to communicate to the House copies of the in structions to, and report of, such officer, and whether, by any executive measures of correspondence, the British Government had been given to understand that M'Leod would be released or surrendered. Mr. Barnard enumerated the facts connected with the affair of the Caroline and Alexander M'Leod, and main tained that the incursion from the Canada side, on the 29th December, 1837, was not a trespass upon the State of New York, but upon the soil of the nation, because it was made in contravention of the treaty which existed between the two countries; and, as such, it necessarily become a subject of negotiation on the part of the Go vernment of Great Britain and that of the United States. He reviewed the course of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, and remarked that he did not say that the Court ought to have set M'Leod at liberty, but that he ought to hare been released upon a habeas corpus a nolle prosequi, or upon his own recognizance. It was the duty of the Supreme Court to sustain the Government it the view which it had taken of the subject ; for New York could well afford to do her duty, and that, too, without gasconade in reference to State rights. There was no glory for her to reap in the wide field of nullifica tion. That State knew too well what was due to her justice and honour than to attempt to take this affair out of the hands of the General Government. But if the Court would not do justice the people would; and he could select a Lockport Jury who would acquit M'Leod, on the law, without any hesitation. He knew them to be honest, they had no disposition to stain their hands with the blood of any man, and they would not do it although all the immunities of the law should be thrown around them. Mr. Everett said, that from the position in which he had been placed with reference to this question, having been placed on a Committee to examine into it, he had prepared, and had now in his possession, his written re flections upon the sub!ect, which he would propose to read to the House on some future occasion. NSOLVENT DEBTOR S ' COURT. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN MARSHALL. The insolvent, who was described as an accountant and Parliamentary agent, likewise a compiler of statistical works, was opposed in person by a creditor named Sewell. The ground of the opposition was the insolvent by false reprt.sentat ons induced the opposing creditor to cash a joint promissory note. It appeared the insolvent's father, whose Christian name was likewise John, held a Government office, aid resided in Stamford -street, where the insolvent likewise resided, and a person named S'acey having drawn a bill which he endorsed and made payable at Stamford-street, the op posing creditor cashed it under the impression that it was en. dorsed by John Marshall, senior. After - a number of witnesses had been examined, the Learned COMMISSIONER said he did not consider himself justified in ordering a remand in this case. The insolvent was accordingly discharged forthwith. IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS STOWALL. The insolvent in this case, the well-known common in former, applied to be discharged under the Act. Mr. COOKE, cn behalf of numerous creditors, opposed the application.—Judgment deferred. POLICE INTELLiGENCE. MANSION-HO USA. - - - --- THE REWARD FOR THE APPREHENSION OF BLAK ESLE Y.—The Chief constable of the Hertfordshire Constabulary Force, attended the Justice room to call the attention of the Lord Mayor to a paragraph in several of the newspapers to the effect that, in conse quence of the surrender of R3bert Blakesley, accused of the murder of James Burdon, there could be no claim to the reward of loot. which had been offered by Go vernment for the apprehension of the'alleged murderer. He begged to state to his Lordship, that the paragraph complained of was calculated to impress upon the public mind that those who were certainly entitled to the re ward ought not to receive it. Now the fact was, that Blakesley did not give himself up. He appeared about the market-place at Hitchin, and was taken into cus• tody there by the two constables who had given evidence on the Monday at the Mansion-house, and who would not, whether they suspected him to have been guilty of the murder or not, have permitted him to leave them. The LORD MAYOR asked whether Blakesley's conduct was not that of a man who surrendered himself ? The impression upon his mind was that the man had given himself up. The chief constable of Hertfordshire here said Blakes ley had never given himself up. He was wandering about until he was addressed by one of the constables, and from that moment he was in custody, for the orders issued to the constabulary were to take into custody any person who was without an abode and destitute. It was easy enough for a man to make a merit of giving himself up when he found hi s d e t ent i on was unavoidable. The Lon') MAYOR said he understood the man to have confessed at once in the open street that he was the per son who stabbed the landlord and his own wife in East cheap. The Chief Constable of Hertfordshire said (as our Reporter understood him) that the constables, in going up to Blakesley, and saying it was 'a fine night, merely used those words as a preliminary to his apprehension as a prisoner, and never for a moment thought of letting him go. If the constables had allowed him to leave them they would have been guilty of a transgression of orders, which he perfectly well knew they would not commit. His (the Chief Constable's) wish was to re move the impression likely to be made upon the public mind, that the constable.-: had no merit in doing their duty. The LORD MAYOR said that he never imputed to the constables, that they had not done their duty. There was no imputation that he had seen upon any person employed upon the service. The Chief Constable of llertfordshire said, that if the city authorities had sent down to the Hertfordshire constabulary a description of the man who was accused of the murder, the probability was that Blakesley would have been apprehended on the second day after the per petration of the offence but no description whatever had been transmitted to Hertford, and the man had been wandering about for six days after he left London. As the case had been brought before the Lord Mayor, he (the Chief Constable) considered that his Lordship was the best person to whom to make the statement as to the reward, to which he decidedly considered the two con stables of Ilitchin, who took the prisoner in the marke place, were entitled. The LORD MAYon—He was six days from London, and penniless—in fact, in a state of beggary ; and, therefiwe, his only resource was to surrender. The Chief Constable said—Why, then, had not the man surrendered himself in the day time? If Inspector Hodgson had entered the Market-place, and seen the pri soner, and said the prisoner was the murderer, he could have claimed the reward, and received it, and was it rea sonable to suppose that the constable who had actually apprehended the prisoner should be denied it ? The LORD MAYOR observed that the applicant, as a gentleman of good sense, having read the advertisement offering the reward, would be able to judge whether the Hertfordshire constables were entitled, according to the wording of that advertisement, to the reward. He (the Lord Mayor) had not read it, and could not, therefore, form an opinion as to its construction. The Chief Constable of Hertfordshire said the hand bills stated that a reward of 1001. would be paid to anv one apprehending, or giving such information as would lead to the apprehension of Robert Blakesley. He con sidered that conclusive in favour of the claims of the two men acting under his orders, and he wished to hear his Lordship's opinion. The LORD MAyou—l do not consider myself qualified to give an opinion on the subject. I have bad no in structions from the Government in respect to it, and I think that the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment is the only person to whom you can properly ap ply in such a ease. You will be treated with the greatest courtesy there. . _ The Chief Coastable—l thank you, my Lord. It was my intention to wait upon the Home Secretary, but it occurred to me that it would be right to make the state ment that I have made to your Lordship, for I am most anxious to show that r am alive to the interests of the constabulary of Hertfordshire. The LORD MAYOR-it is a very commendable anxiety, Sir, and I have no doubt whatever that the men un-ter your authority are encouraged, by your example, to do their they.__ The applicant then bowed to the Lord Mayor and retired. The people at Bath surpass the Athenian sage. He merely chewed the pebbles, but, according to the Morning Herald, " At Bath the Victoria column is in everybody's mouth." A lady once heard a man preach, and was so enraptured with him that she sent him a letter to the follow ing effect :—Dear Sir, there's my hand (my heart you have already), with my fortune, which is very considerable. Will you accept' I am, &c., ..4.xxA. The clergyman, unmoved by the entreaties of the lovely fair one, replied in the follow ing terms :—Madam, give wir hand to industry, your dowry to the poor, and your heart to God. MINSTER ABBEY. This day (Wednesday) being the feast of St. Michael, Tallies celebrated service will be performed, both morning and afternoon, at Westminster Abbey, furnishing a rich treat to the lovers of eccle'iastical music. It is surprising that the name of Tallis, venerable as it is in the eyes of connoisseurs in church music, should be so little known to the generality of people, for out of the numbers who may listen to-morrow to the august strains of his services, many w►ll see nothing in that name, or know no more of it than that it is composed of six letters. Tallis, rightly entitled the " Father of the Cathedral Style," was, according to the best of our recollection, born in 1520. He was organist of the Royal Chapel to King Henry VIII., King Edward VI., Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth. In the second and third of these reigns he was simply a gentleman of the chapel, and served for sevenpence half-penny a day, but under Queen Elizabeth, he and his affectionate disciple, Bird, were gentlemen of the chapel and organists. Learned and elegant as are the compositions of Tallis, they are not less original. Among the works of the old cathedralists of the kingdom he formed his style, and his music has a grave and majestic air well-suited to the "pealing organ." Tallis, though a Catholic, accomodated himself and his studies to the alterations introduced at the Reformation, and his " Services," which are to be performed to-morrow, were composed by him after the musical part of the church service in Queen Elizabeth's reign had ben settled by Parker, Arch bishop of Canterbury, who, himself a skilful musician, had the care of selecting at this period from the Common Prayer the offices most proper to be ning—a matter of no little import ance, especially as the rubric contains no directions about it. Several professors and amateurs we believe are to assist at the regular choir at the recitation. The morning service com prehends the " Venite exulteraus," " Te Deum," and " Be nedictus ;" and the evening service " The Magnificat" and " Nunc Dimittis." Mr. 'furle presides at the organ. . ARTS AND SCIENCES. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING PRACTICAL DESIGN. SEPTEMBER. 21.—At the quarterly meeting, Mr. Ewart, M.P., Pres:dent, in the chair, Mr. Foggo, Mr. Hyde Clarke, Mr. C. Kerry Nicholls, Mr. De Mouchet, Mr. Horton, &c., a Report was read from the Secretary, which stated--" The school being the grand object of this Society's solicitude, the Secretary begs to inform the meeting of its present aspect, as furnished by the Director, in reply to the Secretary's inquiries, The artists in the School, exhibiting talent, are—l. Mr. Day ; this gentleman was presented with a silver medal by the So ciety of Arts, for his model of Moses, designed by him in this School. 2. Mr. Muller ; a gentleman from Sir F. Chantrey's studio. 3. Mr. Anderson ; a pupil recommended by Mr. Haydon. 4. Mr. Harrison. 5. and 6. Messrs. Jobbins and Melville, who are students of the Royal Academy, and dur ing its vacation attend this School. It appears that the gene ral progress of the students is highly satisfactory, and that the numbers are fast increasing ; so that the Director thinks the School will be filled for the winter quarter. The Director has lately given a certificate of progres3 in art to a young student, named P onson b y , w h o was l eav i ng E ng l an d for !New Zealand, and who ,desired such a testimonial. The Secretary here begs to observe, that some time ago he stated his opinion (but which was then opposed) that properly authenti cated certificates, judiciously awarded, would serve both the interest of the school and the student, and he hopes, there fore, should the scho.3 be continued, a proper form of a cert.& cate cf study, &c., will be settled for future occasions.

CAPTURE OF A WIIALE.—On Thursday afternoon the inhabitants of Kincardine were surprised at the invasion of their shores by a large Greenland whale of the bottlenose species, which was washed ashore alive opposite the place where the Albert ran down the Dumbarton Castle steam-tug a few weeks since. The scene which took place when the whale was observed baffles description. The greatest energy and activity were displayed by the people to bring to shore the huge fish, which lay sprawling among the mud, ever and anon raising his broad and ample tail in the air, and again striking the beach with desperate, hopeless, and despair ing energy, to get himself freed from his foes, but all the efforts and strength of the mighty monster were un availing under the superior skill of the persons as sembled. Every missile was in requisition on the occa sion that could be procured, from the regular harpoon to the kitchen poker. Before he was secured and slain a few of the people got a very unceremonious ducking. The whale was about forty feet in length, and its value nut less than 1301.—Edinburgh Courant. TEETOTAL ISM.—Some remarkable coincidences in the names of the advocates of the total abstinence system took place at a meeting last week. Among the speakers were Mr. Drinhwater, Mr. Allwater, Mr. Be water, and Mr. Waters.

SUDDEN EXIT.—We are distressed to learn the sudden departure of a gentleman of fortune from this city, who has left large accounts unsettled among the traders of Bath.--Bath Herald.

This holds out a dreary prospect for the winter.—Derbyshire Chronicle. SYRIA.. -- A public meeting will be held at the Thatched House Tavern to-morrow, to consider the best means for affording medical relief to the distressed inhabitants of Syria. Thousands die yearly for want of proper attend. ance and advice, and spread disease, not only through the country, but communicate it to Europeans who trade along the coast. Some topics will be brought forward, we under stand, interesting to the public. The Hon. Wm. Cowper, M.P., nephew of Lord Melbourne, will be in the Chair. THE LATE FRACAS AT THE GREENWICH Potaca-CoußT.—ln reference to this subjt ct, which has been laid by Mr. Drury before the Home Secretary, the following answer has been received:—" Whitehall, Sept. 24, 1841. Sir—l am directed by the Secretary, Sir James Graham, to acknowledge the receipt of your petition, praying an inquiry may be made into the conduct of Mr. Grove, one of the police magistrates, and I am to inform you that Sir James Graham has not overlooked the subject of your complaint, and that he has taken with regard to it such steps as appeared to him expe dient. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, H. MAN NERS SUT TON. Michael Drury, Esq., surgeon, Deptford." The father of the boy, Michael Murphy, who is now undergoing a n im prisonment of one month, has twice Petitioned the Secretary of State for further inquiry into his son's case, on the ground that one-half of his witnesses were not examined, Mr. Grove having frightened the first one that appeared in his behalf ; and that the boy was not at the "wake" as alleged to be, nor did he interfere to cause his being taken from his father's house by the police. The late singular disappearance of Mr. John Mellor, the Manager of the Nottingham and Notts Banking Company, has excited a great sensation in the commercial world, and caused much distress to his relatives and friend•, who are in a state of great anxiety about him. The Thames police, to whom information was given on Friday of his being missing since Saturday, the IBih inst., have not been able to obtain the least clue to him since he left Wood's Hotel, Furni val's Inn, where he had been stopping on the above day. Mr. Mellor was a gentleman of very regular habits, most assiduous in his attention to the affairs of the bank, and was much esteemed by the Directors and Sha•eholders. He had a large sum of money and much valuable property in his possession on leaving Wood's Hotel, and by many it i feared he may have fallen into bad hands, and been robbed and murdered. A de scription of his person has been advertised. On Monday evening, shortly before nine o'clock, a fire broke out on the extensive premises known as the Rock ingham China Works, No. 3, Coventry -street, which extend into Great Windmill -street, and are in the occupation bf Mr. J. T. Brameld, china-manufacturer to her Majesty. Informa tion was instantly conveyed to the County Fire-office and others, when, by dint of great exertions on the part of Carter and other firemen, the damage was confined to ,the room in which the fire commenced and the one beneath. Just as the fire was extinguished, two policemen arrived in a cab with in formation that another had broken out in Henrietta-street, Duke -street, Manchester-square, at thehouie of Mr. Robert- Clark, a chandler. The damage done was, fortunately, trifling. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—After the per formance on Monday night of the comedy, ghat will the World Say ? a new ballet of action, entitled Hans of Icelang, was pro d iced with a most exemplary display of skill, en the part of scene painter and property-man. The well known tale of Hans supplies the general incidents of this action. lie is a most pic turesque old bandit, with a strong tribe of liegemen, ameegst the copper onines cf Norway. His son Gill, a youth of infinite promise in the same line of romance, loses his Lfe in con sequence of having carried off Guth Stasen (Miss Bailin), the fair daughter of an honest fishermen, and the beloved of a young soldier of the Munkholm regiment (Mr. Gilbert). The girl falls into the hands of the ban dit, who thenceforth cherishes the most malignant projects of vengeance against her for the death of his son, and her res cue by her lever, seconded by a detachment of his comrades, after enconntering dangers of a most appalling kind by flood and field,, which conclude by a volcano in Iceland, presents an extraordinary concatenation of exciting incidents, and consti tutes the great interest of the piece. Its chief ballet feature consists of a very animated pas de deux by Mr. Gilbert tied Miss Bailin ; a second by Master and Miss Marshall ; and a general dance by the whole corps of the theatre. This was all executed in a most creditable manner. The Hans of Mr. Payne was also a finely savage and impressive impersonation. The whole thing was gut up with great spirit. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GUEAT WES TERN RAILWAY.—A dreadful and fatal accident oc curred on the line of the Great Western Railway, within a quarter of a mile of the Slough Aation (between there and London) to a person engaged on the line as a ganger, between two and three o'clock on Saturday after noon. It appears that the poor fellow was incautiously walking on the line at the time the two o'clock down train from Paddington arrived at the spot where he had been standing, by which he was knocked down, and the whole of the several carriages, with the engine and tender, passed over him. One of his legs, between the ancle and knee, was completely severed, his arms dread fully smashed, and his skull divided into three portions, the brains being scattered over the wheels and along the rails for a considerable distance. It is supposed he was seized with a fir, which totally incapacited him from get ting out of the way of the train. lie was seen by the engineer some distance off, before the train came up to him, when the steam was immediately shut oft; and the speed considerably slackened ; but this precaution was unfortunately adopted too late. His mutilated remains were conveyed to the Dolphin public-house at Slough. On Monday an inquest was held on the body at Langley, near Slough, when James Chave, a porter in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, stated that lie left Paddington by the two o'clock down train, and when it had arrived within a short distance of the Slough sta tion, a man was observed lying on or near the rails over which the carriages passed. Upon the train being stop ped, which was as quickly as possible, he went to the deceased, who was lying between the up and down line, and quite dead. The whistle had been sounded to warn the man of his danger about a minute before the train arrived at the spot where he was lying. In answer to a question from Mr. Collard, who attended, with another person, to watch the proceedings on the part of the Company, the witness stated that when the deceased was picked up, immediately after the accident, there were not the least signs of any muscular movement. Thomas Wyatt (the brother-in-law of the deceased), stated that he was with his brother half an hour before the accident occurred, and had left him at the Water splash-bridge, nearly close to the spot. He then com• plained of a pain in his side and back. He had made the same complaint before that morning. He was not subject to fits, and he was perfectly sober. Witness was of opinion that his brother died before the engine went over him. He had complained to his wife of a gid diness in the head for the last two months. James Chave added, that when he went to lift up the body he found three sovereigns and 7s. Gd. in silver scattered about close to the spot where he was found, over a surface of three or .four yards, and that from the appearance of the ground he was led to suppose that the deceased had been struggling . as if in a fit. The Jury intimated that it was their opinion the deceased had died in a fit, and came to an unanimous verdict of" Died by the visitation of God." MR. WALLACE, M.P.—lt being understood that Mr. "Wallace, of Kelly, was on a visit to his friends in this county, a wish was expressed by a number of our leading citizens that some mark of respect should be offered to him, for his great exertions in the cause of Post. office improvement. The matter was brought under the notice of Provost Blaikie, who, with his usual spirit and promptitude, summoned a meeting of the Town Council, and proposed that the freedom of the city should be conferred on Mr. Wallace. The proposal, as will be seen from the report elsewhere given, was warmly sup ported by Mr. Hadden and others, and unanimously agreed to. Mr. Wallace, we understand, has agreed to accept the honour, and the ceremony of presentation is to come off in the Town-hall, on Thursday next, at two o'clock.—Aberdeen Herrin. A TRAVELLING WONDER.—The most extra ordinary fact on record ever performed by a stage-coach, was accomplished by the Telegraph on Saturday last. It left Elliott's Royal Hotel, Devenport, about a quarter to six, and Plymouth about five minutes past six on that morning (with four inside for London, and eight out side), who reached the Paddington station at ten minutes past nine, thus performing the journey from Plymouth to London (2451 miles) in the almost incredible short time of 15 hours 15 minutes, and 1 hour 15 minutes less than any other coach.—Devenport Telegraph. ANOTHER WONDER.—There i s a horse now driven as near-side leader in the Exquisite, Falmouth coach, from this town, which has been on the road four teen years, seven of which it was driven in the Quicksil ver mail, at that time the fastest coach in England.--/bid. THE ROYAL GEORGE.—In the course of the operations against the wreck of the Royal George on Thursday, an accident occurred to Private Skelton which had nearly proved fatal. Skelton had been down to place a charge of 601 b., and was coming up, when the person whose duty it was to fire the charge, from some mistake prematurely did so, and the poor fellow was in stantly blown up to the surface in a senseless state. He was got on board the SticceN, and animation was re stored. He seemed to have suffered much in the chest. He was immediately taken to Haslar Hospital. The escape of Skelton with life is owing to his being nearly at the top of the water when the explosion took place.— Portsmouth Paper. FORTUNATE BARGAIN.—On Saturday an Irishwoman, who obtains a living by buying old clothes and collecting rags, was brought before the Magistrates, at Huddersfield, under the following circumstances :—ln the course of her perambulations she came to the house of Mr. John North, of News( me, who happened to be from home, whose niece took upon her to sell the pri soner a pair of 01l trousers for a mere trifle. On the. return of Mr. North he was informed of the sale, and of his consternation some idea may be formed, when it was told that the sum of 91. 10s. in gold has been deposited in the pockets of the old trousers for safety. The Magis trates, after a lengthened examination, were obliged to dismiss the fortunate rag-gatherer.—Sheield Mercury. The Fame steamer, Captain I. Corbin, belong ing to the General Steam Navigation Company, during her voyage up on Saturday from Ramsgate, when off Herne Bay, it blowing half a gale of wind, fell in with the Rocket steamer in an unmanageable state, and with upwards of one hundred pas sengers on board. At their earnest entreaties they were taken on board the Fame, and landed at London Bridge wharf at the Fame's usual hour. WHITEKNIGHTS.—The whole of the materials of this mansion, together with the out-offices, were this week disposed of by auction ; and in the course of a few weeks there will be no vestige left of this once admired residence, formerly visited by Royalty, and a very favourite resort of the Queen of Geo. IL—Berkshire Paper. THE HOOPOE UPLIPA EPOPS.—Three of these handsome and rare visitants to this country have been shot in the lieini'y of our city during the last week, and have passed into the hands of private collectors in the neighbour hood. This singular bird is found in considerable abundance during the summer months in the south of Europe, and is not uncommon in Germany. It seldom, however, v;sits this country except after the breeding season, when, on its course to its as inter retreat, Northern Africa, two or three ex amples are usually obtained on our southern and eastern coasts. —Bristol Mirror. WHITE BAIT.—The Southampton water now swarms with white bait and whiting. We several years ago stated, on the authority of Professor Yarrell, that the white bait of the Southampton water was identical with the cele brated delicacy of that name in the Thames. Every p rson, of any judgment in the matter, we have conversed with on the subject, agrees, and no great compliment, with the Professor. Our fishmongers, however, will not acknowledge that Profes sor Yarrell knows any thing of the matter, and hence a dish, that would be as great a favourite at Southampton as at Black wall, is never seen at table. —Hants Advertiser. HUT SNOWBALLS.— A chemist in Albany, expatiating on the late discoveries in chemical science, ob• served that snow had been found to possess a considerable de gree of heat. An Irishman present, anxious that the discovery might be made profitable, inquired of the orator what number of snowballs would be sufficient to boil a tea-kettle ! CRUELTY AND BRUTALITY.--A diggraceful scene occurred at Chew's Landing, New Jersey, on the night of the 22d. A number of boys made a bonfire in a field, when a brute in human form, and animated by the spirit of a fiend, rode a horse into the middle of the fire, kept him there until the poor animal's legs were shockingly burnt, and then, be cause the horse would not stand quietly and undergo the tor ture—dismounted, and deliberately cut the poor animal's throat. THE LATE STORM.—A very destructive thun der storm appears to have visited Salisbury, and many places in its vicinity, between Wednesday mid Thursday last. At Romsey, the tremendous rain assumed the shape of a waterspout ; and besides unroofing a building, occasioned much other damage. GENEROUS CONDUCT.—About a fortnight since a Scotch boy of the name of Macmillan, about 12 years of age, was taken before Mr. Gregorie at Queen -square Police Court, charged with begging. The mother of the boy was called in, and told a melancholy tale. Her husband, she said, was a shoemaker residing in Glasgow, and on the advice ero of the surgeons there had come to London in order undergo an an operation for cataract at the Ophthalmic Hospital. previous Sunday one of their children haddi w edhe blind, and as they had not a farthing thein dle and get a mouthful boy out to beg some pence to buy world sh f e at s h e e n r t was the his return said he found' the poor blind man 'tothe housetomake that the on mother, in inquiry, and a ri T d h e ott Magistrate sent a policeman an in other respects, had strictly sitting near the body of a the dead ta c t h ed ild, being made known, ant truth. uth. which, on Saturday last, gistrates for the use of the f various a d m l il a y tions were sent to the bia_ty required, and it having been ftund, time to time, as necessity amounted to 201. Part of this su ' m had been applied, from 11r. Alexander, arid Mr. on consulting Mr. G thequestion with the upon Ale Law rence, that no effective operation could be performedthe poor man's eyes at present, gistrate was, how the whole family coul d be sent home to Scot land at a rate so cheap as to enable them to have a few pounds their arrival there. With this view Mr. Gregorte, on n Saturday, n sent Algernon Smith, the Chief Usher of the Court, into the City, to make the necessary inquiries at the diffe rent steamboat offices on the subject, and Smith, finding that the passage of the family, independently of their food, would cost from 71. to 91„ the worthy Magistrate addressed a letter to Mr. Brockelbank, principal Director of the General Steam Navigation Company, who, on receiving it, immediately deter mined to give the whole family a free passage in the fore cabin, anal directed Smith to explain the matter to the steward, who would, no doubt, accommodate them with provisions on the voyage at the cheapest possible rate. The poor family were, by tne exertions of Smith, conveyed on board a vessel for Leith, in the course of Sunday, and, after defraying atex penses, he handed over to the poor creatures the sum of 12/. 10s., with which the man expressed a hope that he might be able to open a little shcp, and, by employing a journeyman, get on until tome improvement took place in his sight.
