EVE ING EDITION Kenworthy, and 4amuel and Henry Hardwick. Went to Oldham, and recd there 103., with a part of which he bought 2lbs. of powder. Was told to buy 11b. acd that it would be ls. 4d. ; but finding that blasting powder was only 7d. apc und, got 2lbs. Gave it to Henry Hardwick. Cross-examined --Ralph Kenwnrthy arid Henry Hard wick ordered him to buy the powder. Did not see Wil liams there when the order was given. Thomas Hodgkinson, a clogger, recollected being at Profit's beer-shop on the 18th of November. Saw some men in the front room. The prisoners Williams, Henry Hardaiek, and Davies were there. There was a parcel about three-quarters of a yard long, and as thick as his thigh, lying on his seat. The prisoner was cross-examined by his Lordship, for the purpose of ascertaining bow he knew that the day in question was the 18th of November. bnt he could give no sa . isfactory reason for fixing upon that date. Sarah Davies, the wife of Edward Davies, remembered her husband bringing home, on a Wednesday night, the 18th November, sometbitg wrapped in a coarse piece of blanke:ing. He took it up stairs, and she heard a heavy bump cn the floor. On the following day she swept out the room. The parcel was then under tEe bed. She pushed at it with the brush ; but it was heavy and would nGt move. It remained there until Friday. She did not examine it. Ralph Kenworthy took it away. Gave h r husband's pocket-book to Mr. Newton, who took out of it a piece of paper (that containing the receipts). Cross-examined—Ha . cl never said that she did not know Vie man who tock away the parcel. Had said that " a man" came for it, but did not at first mention the name of Ralph Kenworthy to Mr. Newton. On the day of the murder, her husband came home to dinner at three o'clock. He °lily stopped in the house about a quarter of an hour. He came home again between six and seven. Could not sAy whether it was half-past six ; but it was not seven. His father came in with him. Robert Newton, deputy constable of Ashton, beard of the murder about twenty minutes past sir, on the even ing of its occurrence. In consequence of information, sent in search of Davies, and met Williams in Stamford_ street. That was about half-past seven o'clock. Did not take him into custody. Davies was found and ap prehended, and so afterwards was Williams and the two Hardwicka. They were sent to Kirkdale on a charge of conspiracy. Hulme was subsequently taken up on a charge of murder. He stated that be was at Derwent's at the time when the murder took place. Williams and Davies were liberated trom gaol on the Bth Januaiy. Witness immediately afterwards apprehended them on a charge of murder. 'Williams declared that be knee no th►ng of it, "So help him God." He was committed on the 21st of January. On his way to Kirkdale, he volun tarily said, " Ned Davies Las got himself nicely out of this job; but I suppose what I may say will make no dif ference." Witness replied, " I can make you no pro mise ; but whatever you may say I will fairly state to the Magistrate." The paper produced was the one found in the pocket-book of Davies. [lt contained a receipt for the manufacture of Congreve matches.] The word " Mind" was written on the top of the paper at the time it was found. A great number of other witnesses were examined, and at a late hour the case tor the prosecution closed, when Mr. Wilkins applied for an adjournment, as it would be im. possible to finish before twelve at night. His Lordship appealed to the jury whether they would at once proceed to the -termination of the trial, or then adjourn, and con sent to be accommodated for the night under custody. The jury adopted the lattsr alternative—apartments were pro vided for them at an hotel, and three bailiffs were sworn to keep them in safe custody, and not allow any one to to speak to them. WELSH ClRCUlT—Cmgsvcs, APRIL 6. - - TRIAL FOIL MURDER.—This morning being appointed for the trial of Bartholomew Murray, the Court was excessively crowded. The Marquis of Westminster sat on the bench. The prisoner, who is nineteen years of age, was indicted for the wilful murder of Joseph Cooke and Mary Cooke his wife, at Higher Peover, on Monday, the 24th August last. The Attorney-General, Mr. Cottingham, and Mr. Trafford, appeared as counsel for the prosecution ; Mr. R. G. Temple for the defence. The circumstances of the case have recently been fully de. tailed. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver. dig of Guilty. His LORDSHIP immediately passed sentence of death upon the prisoner in the u-ual form, holding out no hope of mercy towards him. The trial terminated at ten o'clock at night, having occupied the Court thirteen hours. SURREY QUARTER SESSIONS. The General Quarter Sessions for the county of Surrey commenced yesterday before Lord Manson (Chairman), H. Kemble, Esq., M.P., Sir R. Frederick, Sir W. Jolliffe, Copula Parrott, W. Johnston, Esq., Rev. Mr. Prodgers, T. Alcock, Esq., and other Justices of the county.. . . _ There are only three prisoners for trial. The Governors of the several gaols reported that they were healthy, and that the prisoners Lenerally were or derly and well-conducted. COUNTY FINANCES. Mr. SMALLPIECE, the county treasurer, made his Report, from which it appeared that at the last quarter he had in hand a balance of 11,2671. Is. 2d, which had been in creased by various sums since received to 11,579/. 83. 9d. Ho had disbursed, on account of the county, 11,208/. 121. 3d. leaving a balance of 3701. 16s. ld. ; but this would be re duced by payments now to be made to 1281. 16s. td., and there were outstanding accounts due to the amount of upwards of 4,0001., and a new rate was now under col lection. The Report was received and confirmed. Mr. SuALLPIECE then reported that under an Act of the 633 George 111., he had received from the different coun ties in England and Wales the sum of 9001., to be applied tt) the maintenance of pour prisoners in the Queen's Bench, Fic.t, and Marshal3ea prisons. He bad paid over 4001., and a 6alsince of 500/. remained in his bands. • The CLERK of the PEACE said this would perhaps be the best times to mention that he had received an application from Mr. Hope, the gentleman appointed by the Magis trates to disburse the money to the poor prisoners, for 100/. for that purpose, Mr. JOHNSTO.NE said he should oppose the grant of the money. The, Act of Parliament in question had, no doubt, formerly worked very well ; but the Court should consider the altered,'state of tha law as regarded debtors; in his opinion tlvere were now very few persons in gaol who vitro legally entitled to the provision derived from this Act; and he thought, at all events, that, before they al. lowed.. 100/. to be handed over, they should have some n.lot)e information as to how it was to be expended. 41r. SMALLPIECX said that the respective counties were 4;ound to pay over their quota, but of course the Magistrate bad the power to fee that the money was properly ex pended. Mr. Hope was an officer appointed by the Court to superintend the disbursement of the money, and he ought to .11 etre sent in an account to the Court of the money be had expended. The CLasuc of the PEACE expressed his opinion that Mr. Hope ought to have been present, to have made his application in person. Mr. JOHNSTONE Said that, according to the Act, the money should be disbursed by Mr. Hope under an order from 4 Magistrate; but. be would ♦enture to say that no Magis ttate in the country was aware of the manner in which the money was experdei. He did not think the Court ought to grant 1001. upon a mere application, without knowing something about the way in which i: was to be expended. If the Court did grant anything, he thought one-tourth of 100/. would be sufficient, for he was awe that from the altered state of the law, there must be very few persons legally entitled to the allowance. Lord MONSON thought it would have been better, at all events, if Mr. Hope bad been present to give the Court some explanation. He was bound to do so by the Act of P.irliament, and to make a Report. Mr. Sam.triacE explained, that owing to the altera tion that had been made in the period of bolding the Quarter Session, there was a doubt whether the Report should be male at this or the Midsummer Session. He suggested that if the Court were to withhold an allowance altogether it might cause a deal of inconvenience and suffering to some poor debtors who might be entitled to the allowance. After some further conversation, the Court declined to make any order. . _ The Committee appointed for the purpos e o f t a ki ng i nto oa o r s a in Kingston and consideration the treatment of the p r isoners gaol, while awaiting their trial at the Assizes the hardship of which were brought before the Sessions,co e l b so c r t t r te a o r t the Michelmas Session, reported that they had mad accommodation for the prisoners in fu t u r e. They a ported, that having taken into consideratio n some other matters in reference to a proposed abandonment of the gaol altogether, they found, that to make the other county pri=ss available for the number of prisoners uow confined at Kingston, would entail an expense of from 4 to 5,000/. upon the county, and after stating these facts, they left it to the Court to decide upon the propriety of abandoning this vol. The Report was confirmed, without any motion being made upon the subject. After disposing of some other routine business, the Court adjourned. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, APRIL 6. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) IN THE MATTER OP KEASLEY, BROTHERS. This being the day fixed for the final examination of the bankrupts, who carried on business, in Bermondsey, as tan ners, a number of fresh proofs wyre to-day admitted without any opposition. A creditor claimed to prove upon the joint acceptance of tFe bankrupts for a debt incurred on account of the Tablet weekly ne wspaper, of which, however, only Mr. Thomas Keasley was the "registered proprietor." Admitted. • Mr. Lucas, the principal editor and manager of the Tablet, claimed to prove against the joint estate for the fall amount of a sum due to him for acting in those capacities. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—Under what denomina tion do you seek to prove? he claimant—As a servant , I suppose, f or wages an d f or work and labour done. Commercial travellers, I believe, have been allowed to prove in full. Mr. Commissioner Fo n NQU E—Commercial travellers, not solely employed by one person, are not allowed to prove in full; and, in your ca e, you might ha ve employed your leisure time otherwise than in } our literary labours for this newspaper. The claimant—l have kept the accounts as well ; an d I a l so had to superintend the general management. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—But the keeping the ac counts was only incidental to your literary labour? 'I he claimant—That service was actually demanded of me. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE—And that still less makes you a " clerk" or a " servant." The claimant —This also is a business in which Imight have become a bankrupt. The Learned COMMISSIONER—DecidedIy not; y." ea , n , prove ag a i nst t h e separate estate of Thomas Keasley. would give a liberal construction to the clause of the Act to which you refer; but I am also ruled by another clause, to construe the Act for the " general benefit of the creditors." Mr. Lucas—l am told, your Honour, that in the recent case of the proprietors of the Public Ledger, that they were made bankrupts. The Learned eO3ISLISSIONEIt—No t U the proprietors and literary conductors of a newspaper ; but if, to these avocations, they added the business of general printers for others, then they might be made bankrupts in the same way as attorne) s, being money scriveners, are, in the latter capacity, made bankrupts. Two other literary gentlemen also sought to prove for the full amount of their re-pective demands, but were inf-rmed by the Learned Commission. r that they could only be allowed . to prove against the separate estate of the registered pro prietor of that journal. Another claimant (Mr. Staff) sought to prove for seventy five guineas, which he had expended in roasting a bullock for the bankrupts, and which they distributed to their workmen in commemoration of the marriage of our most gracious Queen. One of the Trade Assignees said that the claimant hai charged 101. for pepper and salt upon that occasion.—Claim admitted. The Learned Commissioner asked what course was now in tended to be pursued ? and The Official Assignee (Mr. Pennell) answered that there was no objection to the bankrupts passing their final examina tion. The Trade Assignees concurred, and no creditor having made any objection, the bankrupts answered the usual interro gatories, and were declared to have passed their final examination. I NSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, APRIL ,6, Michael Williams applied to be discharged on bail. In the course of the case the Chief Commissioner complained that one of the documents relating to the application was in complete, and handed it down twice or thrice to the attorney, and in a peremptory manner asked whether it was correct? It was intimated that the attorney had had but little busi ness in the Court. The Commissioner continued in the same strain of interrogation. Mr. CREESWELL rose and said he believed that the present was the first case the attorney had had in the Court • and he thought some excuse should be made for him. " And (added the Learned Gentleman) he is no doubt intimidated by your mode of addressing him." Chief COMMISSIONER (with warmth)—"Upon my word, Sir, I am surprised, I am amazingly surprised, that you or any gentleman of the bar should interfere." Mr. CRESSWELL—I shall say.no more— CHIEF COMMISSIONER—You ought not, nor any gerole man, to interfere, or to make excuses for the ignorance of persons. Mr. CRESSWELL (excited) —I never had a rebuke from the Court before, and I have been here since 1827. I thought it my duty to state that this was the first case— The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said he should not have in terfered. CRESSWELL—I thought it my duty: The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—CertainIy not, Sir. I am quite surprised at you or any person interfering with the Court. The matter dropped. The bail were accepted. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW ) IN THE MATTER OF SIR THOMAS S. M. CHAMPNEYS, BART. This case again occupied Mr. Commissioner Law the whole day on the proof of debts, before the declaration of a divi (lend. The investigation has brought to light some extraor dinary disclosures on " bill transactions," the means adopted to raise money at great sacrifices, and the sale of property in some instances at one third of the sum charged. The Learned Commissioner has on fii.; return from Circuit resumed the inquiry, and, from the able and searching manner which Mr. Commissioner Law has applied to the affairs, it is expected that the first dividend will be as much as 6s. in the pound. The matter, it is supposed, will be concluded in a few days. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNINE PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TlMES.—Scarcely any attention has been drawn in the City to the quarterly return of the revenue, and it seems to have been wholly without effect on the prices of public securities. These documents have, indeed, long been considered quite valueless as to any practical result, because they exhibit a one. sided account, in which the whole of the receipt, but a small portion only of the expenditure appears, and not to possess the merit even of good statistics by which the fluctuations in the commerce of the country may be determined. The only fact of any importance deducible from the present return is, that all the increased taxation has not maintained the income of the country at its old rate. Notwithstanding this, however, the moneyed interest do not appear to indulge in any notion of a loan, since they are utterly unable to form any judgment of the extent to which the same purpose may not be answered at the Treasury by the application to public purposes of the stock and money belonging to the savings -banks. If the returns were omitted altogether, there would be very little inquiry after them in the City, though an improved form might be adopted in which they would be very generally useful. The premium on gold at Paris is 7% per mille, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1010. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25. 33, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25. 42k, it follows that gold is 0 38 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4281 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 61, and the ex change at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 61, it fol lows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 104 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and Ame rica being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 2.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. Considering that this was the first day of private transfer, very little business was transacted in the Government securi ties ; the prices of which fluctuated but slightly. The committee of the Stock-Exchange met to-day for the consideration of the question, whether the quotations of the converted Portuguese stock should be marked or not in the official list. They adjourned the question for a month, and therefore it is evident that the quotations cannot be marked during that period, but that they consider that, according to the present aspect of the matter, their regulation prevents them from esteeming the converted stock as one agreed to by the bondholders, so as to justify its recognition in the Stock- Exchange. To remove apprehension that business has been transacted in converted Portuguese bonds, a price for which was posted in the market yesterday, it is now explained by the jobbers that they deemed this the readiest mode to make known their estimated value, and it was to this end, alone that the announcement was made, to save inquiry on the subject. It is now withdrawn. CHRONICLE.—By a communication received by Mr. Thornton, the Chairman of the Committee of Portuguese Bondholders, from the Secretary of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, we are informed that the Committee, at their meeting held this day, came to the following resolution : " That the further consideration of the'memorials on the sub ject of marking the prices in the new Portuguese Bonds be ad journed till Tuesday, the 4th day of May next." This we look upon as a very proper measure, lair and impar tial to all parties, giving time to the bondholders to obtain better terms from the Government of Portugal, if they deem the recent financial decree finally unacceptable; or of enabling the Government of Portugal to remove the objections entertained against it, if they have good arguments to advance in its support. The great obstacle to the acceptance of the decree in its present shape arises, we pre sume, first, from the notoriety of the fact that the home credi tors of Portugal have, under all circumstances, been paid in full out of a separate fund appropriated to their exclusive use, while the English bondholders were totally neglected ; and, secondly, from the breach of the original contract of loan, whereby the whole revenues of Portugal were pledged and hy pothecated to the bondholders ; so that the payment of the home creditor, to their prejudice, was a palpable breach of faith, and an act of which they have most cogent reasons to complain in terms of the principles set forth in Lord Palmer ston's instructions to Mr. Adams as regards the debt of New Grenada. It will be incumbent on the Gevernment of Portugal to meet these objections and to justify the basis on which their conversion rests. There can be no doubt that Lord Howard de Walden will bring the subject forward, and use every proper exertion to effect a satisfactory arrangement. Abuse of the Portuguese Government, however, will do no good, and add anything; except weight, to the proceedings of the Committee. By their violent and inconsiderate language they have done much to injure their own cause, and to embarrass their friends in affording them efficient assistance. HERALD.—The Foreign Market remains in a quiet state. The new cut-down Portuguese little goes were not quoted to. day, for reasons to be seen hereafter. appears that a deputation of ten members of the Com mittee of Portuguese bondholders was deputed to manage an interview to-day with the Stock Committee of Capel-court on the subject. of the proposed conversion fraud of the Por tuguese Government. The parties so deputed by the Por tuguese Committee were gentlemen of social standing and con sideration, some of them officers of rank, but lest by chance they should assume to conceive themselves entitled to the de cent observances of society as such, the Stock quorum, with the democratic spite of brief authority which delights in bringing down all above to its own more lowly level, are said to have kept them for some con,iderable space dancing attendance and in ait ing for audience in their ante-chamber. At length, after grave deliberation a gracious intimation was conveyed from the Stock conclave that Sir. Thornton with one or two other mem bers of the Portuguese Committee would be admitted, but that the Stockroom—what a queer pretence for these Stock grandees of the first class—was net large enough to contain the whole ten of the deputation in waiting. It is said, however, that the little room might easily have accommodated some two dozen more individuals. However, Mr, Thornton, who by way of proving his qualification as a bondholder, and his right to a voice in relation to the decision of any question respecting Por tuguese bonds, had taken the precaution of being accompanied with a waggon load of credentials in the shape of Portuguese bonds, with another gentleman of the depUtation proceeded to the interview with these " potent," if not grave and gracious seigniors of the Stock House. What transpired it is of no consequence to refer to, as the following document subsequently addressed to Mr. Thornton involves the gist of all that was said and done i " Committee-room, Stock Exchange, April 6, 1841. " Sir,—l am directed by the Committee of the Stock Ex change to inform you that, at the meeting held 4 1 0 day, it was resolved,— " That the further consideration of the memorials on th e subject of marking the prices in the new Portu g ues e Bonds, be adjourned till Monday, the 4th of May next.' " I have the hon , o , u .f r Ail to m be s , SviAr,Nyousroot B, eNdiEentservant, Secretary. " To Richard Thornton, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Portuguese Bondholders." So doses this business, so little discreditable to the Stock Committee, for the present. It may be added, however, and we have the authority of the most respectable Members of the House—of Members ranking higher for character, and quite as high in the breeches -pocket sense, as any one of the thirty members of the Stock Committee, a list of whose names is now before us, that the course of these proceedings has been viewed with infinite disgust in the Stock Exchange itself, as tending greatly to eamage the character of, and to impair the confidence of the people in, that e , tablishment whose credit, and the interests t,f the community as con necttd therewith, it was their first and bounden duty to up hold, with utter disregard of selfish views and sinister in fluences of their own, or of loan jobbers' connections out of doors. There are names on the Committee which suggest at once a solution of much of the paltering, equivocal, and dis graceful manmuvres by which the recognition of the fraudu lent conversion was attempted, was actually decreed, and lastly rescinded in very sneaking deference to the expresed sense of pubic opinion, which could not safely be defied for reasons which were coming home, and would have been driven nc, , ar. , r home to them with the journals of every morning. There ought not to have been one moment's hesitati ,n from the first in rejecting the application for "marking the prices of the dishonest conversion bonds, that is of legalising the. dealings in them, by whomsoever such application was made, or by whatever dishonourable influence supported underhand, in respect of which on another occasion something more may perhaps be said, when a certain ministerial morning journal extraordinarily allied somehow for years past with Penin sular loans and finance will not be forgotten. The Stock Committee knew well that the Portuguese Committee of bond hol lers cou ld not Portuguese represent less than eight or ten millions of stocks, and therefore their intimation of dissent from the proposed conversion confiscation of a have been received and acted upon as final a large proportion a tpropertyonce, shouldf ounded of so immense too as it was on a recorded and binding regulation of he Stock House itself. They had moreover publicly challenged, and were in possession of the proof to which th e i r c h arac t er as a great public body was pledged, the calculated perpetration of a system of fraud, by which it was soufiht to be made air pear that a vast majority of Portuguese bondholders were anxious for the conversion, and had so sent in names, claims, and large amounts for registration, a s if b on d s were h e ld bo n a fide to the amounts, whreas no such bonds were held, the parties pretending being I , ttle better in many instances than a better class of paupers ready for any dirty work for a consi deration. • Bonds may however make their appearance to be converted, and it behoves the Portuguese Committee to be vigilat.t lest a second edition of Mendizabal's surreptitious issues of Spanish Bonds should be attempted from Portugal, and so foisted on the market in the shape of Conversion Bonds, by which the treasury at Lisbon might be conveniently and unsuspectedly replenished, to the greater damage still of the interests of the bondholders. These, however, are matters on which more re mains to be said yet. The conjoint confederacy here, at Lis bon, and Madrid, for plundering the British public must be waited upon with such constant and assiduous care that perhaps at length the unholy league and covenant may come to be broken up and the parties to it brought to justice. No thanks for that, however, to the very accommodating friends of the loan jobbing interest in the Stock Exchange Committee. POST.--Ten of the members of the Committee of Porti.- guese bondholders waited on the Committee of the Sto-k Ex change to-day, for the purpose of getting a knowledge of the intentions of the latter body with regard to the conversion which the Portuguese agency are attempting to thrust upon the English people in behalf of their Government. The gentle men of the Committee of bondholders demanded, as the parties appointed to watch over interests amounting to ten minions of pounds, exclusive of four years' accumulation of dividends, an unreserved conference with those of the Committee of the Stock Exchange. The latter, however, demurred, and a considerable time 'being taken to deliberate upon the sub ject, it was at last decided that two or three only of the number should be admitted, on the ridiculous plea that the Committee-room was small. Mr. Thornton and his friends appear not to have been able to make much impression upon the Stock Exchange authorities. It is not convenient to them to he regulated by the declared wishes of a public meet ing in 1841, as was the case he 1834, because those wishes are opposed to jobbing in a spurious security. They have, nevertheless, exacted a promise that no immediate recognition of Ferrer's Two-and-a-Half per Cent. conversion shall for the present displace the legitimate bonds. Although the Committee have not yet authorised the quota tion of the new bonds, prices for them, real or fictitious, have been put upon the board of the house, and the wonder among the members generaliy is who could have taken that liberty. The Committee are bound, wr think, to put an instant stop to such a proceeding, as, otherwise, they may be themselves sus pected of dabbling in them The continued absence of the steam-ship President is be ginning to be viewed with very great, though we cannot but hope unfounded, apprehension. It has been reported that a vessel resembling her was seen making for Fayal, in the Azores, where the Company to which she belongs are under stood to have a depot of coals. If she went to Fayal for coal, or put back to Bermuda to refit, after the heavy gale of tht 14th ult., it is hardly to be expected that she should reach Liverpool for a day or two to come. Yet as much as 15 gui neas per cent. premium was paid on her at Lloyd's yesterday and to-day the rate was increased, we hear, to 20 guineas per cent. She may not improbably be coming slowly on under canvas. Although the commercial, and still more, if possible, the financial advises brought from the United States by the North America are, on the whole, of a gloomy complexion, there are, nevertheless, here and there points to be found in them which present an agreeable contrast to the mass of discourage ment. It may not be uninteresting to our readers to know the re ports going out from hence to the United States on busines' matters. The subjoined is extracted from the circular of an eminenthouse at Liverpool, as transmitted by the last steamer : " The present quotations of the price of cotton vary little from those at the close of last month ; that little, however, is against the importer, and the advices from the manufac turing districts are exceedingly discouraging, with a con stant tendency towards decline throughout the month. This feature is the more remarkable when we look around and behold the prosperity which pervades the manufactures o 1 our neighbours, the French ; when we consider that grain will not be wanted ; that the Continental exchanges are so much in favour of this country as not only no longer to cause the Bank of England any alarm for their gold, but to give an almost certain assurance that it must now flow back into thei• coffers at too great a rate to maintain the present rate of inte rest. When we see such evident signs of prosperity it is really disheartening to think upon the present state of England's most important branch of national prosperity. In fact, it can no longer be doubted, and it is no longer doubted, even by some of those interested in the maintenance of the present regulations affec ing the necessaries and comforts of life, that, by pursuing her present course, this country is gradually debarring her po pulation of the means of living with comfort, closing foreign markets against her, and thus causing an over-production of her manufactures. Unless, therefore, the present expectation of the community be fulfilled in regard to the removal of pro hibitory duties, we cannot anticipate the prospect of a speedy termination of the existing distress." S UN. —We have no news either of the President steamer. or the India overland mail. To-day the public securities were rather more buoyant, and there was a good deal of real business done. For Money Con sols realised 89% to 89%, and for the Account 89% to %. Exchequer Bills were steady at 9s. to Ils. premium, and India Bonds at par to 2s. premium. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were worth 98% to %, the Three per Cent. Re duced Annuities 88% to % ex dividend, the Three-and-a- Half ter Cent. Reduced 97 1 4 to 97%, and Long Annuities 12 11-16 to %. Bank Stock was 168% to 170 ex dividend. The Revenue returns, as was anticipated, still showing a defi ciency, checked in some measure the buoyancy of the market. No decision has yet been come to respecting the sanction of the Committee of the Stock Exchange to dealings in the Nevi or Converted Portuguese Bonds. Spanish Active Bonds were heavy all day at 23* Portuguese New Five per , Cents. at 333. and the Three per &Tits. at 204 to 4. Colombian Bonds were at an improvement to 23 and 23.4, Mexican were not higher than 304, and Brazilian were dull at 694. Russian Bonds were marked 112.4, and Dutch Five per Cents. 98 to 974. Railway Shares were very brisk and brought fully previous rates. Great Western Railway brought 283, the New 133, tin Fifth 74 to the Gosport Junction 51, the London and Bir mingham 67, the New 213, and the South Western 184 prem. Brighton were 4, Croydon 1, Manchester and Leeds 2, North Midland 23, and South Eastern and Dover 144 discount. Na tional Provincial Bank of England New Shares were at par. This afternoon the foreign exchanges were firm, a circum stance that cannot but be gratifying to those who desire an improvement in our foreign trade— one great lever in raising the productiveness of the national revenue. The rates at which three months' paper was negotiated were these :—Paris 2.5 f. 67%c. to 70c., Hamburgh 13 9% to 3, Amsterdam 12 3i to 4*, Frankfort 150, and Trieste 10 2 to 10 3.

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Post observes, in the course of a leading article on the subject of the revenue :—" We are glad to learn that the ratification of the commercial Treaty with France (that is, provided it be a good Treaty) is daily expected. We di(' not know that it had yet been signed, or even that its terms had been finally adjusted. The last we heard of the matter. only a few days ago, was to the effect that negotiations on the subject of the commercial Treaty with France had been sus pended, in consequence of the recent state of our relations with that country, and were not yet renewed. To be sure this was only from Lord Melbourne, in his place in the House of Lords, an authority which we would not think of comparing with our well-informed Contemporary; yet we venture to suggest to the latter that the information may not be strictly and literally accurate which has led him to announce to the commercial world that the ratificati"n of the Treaty is daily expected." The Morning Herald, alluding t 9 the subject of Ireland, says—" What compensating prospect has the country at large in the present state of Ireland ? Nothing more satisfactor2. than the permitted incendiary harangues of O'Connell and his faction; and the issue of addresses to the Irish people, exhort ing them, in the case of a war breaking out, to abstain from their duty as subjects to their Sovereign—as Britons to their felow-countrymen—as members of a free State and a Chris tian community to the institutions they are bound by every principle of natural allegiance and civil obligations to defend. We hope that some Member of Parliament, who may find his strength and powers sufficiently renewed for the task by the re freshment of a long Easter vacation, will not fail, directly Par liament shall have re-assembled, to move for a Committee of Inquiry into the present state of Ireland, and of the law in Ireland with respect to the matters submitted the night before last to the House of Lords by the Earl of Charleville." The Times thus alludes to Mr. Tooke's late letter to the Editor of the Britannia :—" Ecce iterum Crispinus !—be hold again Mr. William Tooke ! That singularly self-satisfied specimen of humanity, ex-Member of Parliament, ex-Trea surer of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowlette, and ex-Manager of University College, London, but not yet ex-Candidate for Finsbury, has thought proper to circulate a letter addressed' To the Editor of the Britannia,' upon the occasion of his late expulsion from the Gower-street Commit tee of Management. It cannot be denied that, in the present great dearth of topics of political, ecclesiastical, or general in terest, the publication of this letter is extremely seasonable. Au explicit exposition of the principles' to which Mr. Wil liam Tooke has steadfastly adhered from his youth up,' is the very thing which the world for some time past has been anxiously and impatiently looking for. Public men have be come so changeable, and a high tone of principle so scarce, that we want some faultless model to fix attention, and chal lenge universal imitation. Mr. Tooke condescendingly, but with a master-band, sketches out the portraiture of such a man." The Morning Chronicle puts forth the following remarks on the subject of Dr. Wiseman's letter to the Editor of the Tablet : ---.‘ In the letter of Dr. Wiseman, which was pub lished in last Saturday's Tablet, the Oxford question is treated with great meekness and piety. This eminent Papist regards Puseyizin ' as a struggle of noble minds to break- through chains that have bound them for years, ' and adores th e power of Providence in ' the revi va l o f Catholicity in England,' and the movement towards Catholic ideas and Catholic feel ings' of the ' Theologians of Oxford.' The whole affair, in deed, except perhaps the late pitiful submissions, must have been, as it evidently was, highly gratifying to his mind. To see the English Clergy, after centuries of separation, hostility, and Protestant pride, thus returnini , to the rock whence they were hewn,' is a sensation for which Dr. Wiseman and every other zealous Catholic might well he envied."

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7, 1841 EMIGRATION TO CANADA. The Canada Company, established for coloniz ' ' ing a rich district on the banks of Lake Huron, have published a statement of the results which have attended emigration to that part of Upper Canada, from the formation of the Com pany until the present period. According to this, the success of the speculation has been al most unexampled, as attested by several letters from emigrants, which accompany statistical re turns respecting the rapid growth and present state of the Colony. We extract the following from the introductory statement:— ' The Canada Company, in laying before the public an ante lysis of their labours during the last twelve years, in effect ing the settlement of their lands in Canada, felt convinced that a more gratifying spectacle than it presents, cf the signal success that has attendel industrious exertions in the Western Hemisphere, has never been collected before. In order to obtain this intelligence, and that its fidelity and accuracy might be established beyond the re sch of cavil or suspicion, they procured theinstrumentality of some of the most influential, longest settled, and respectable inhabitants, residing in various parts of the province, to collect the necessary information. They were directed to spare neither trouble nor expense to procure the most minute and faithful returns. From the very diffuse and extended information thus obtained, the Company have made such selections, and furnished such an abridgment, as they deemed sufficient for general purposes ; but as they are desirous of affording to any individual an opportunity of examining the details, persons would be permitted, on application at the Office of the Company, 13, St Helen's place, to inspect these returns. Nothing can be more gratifying or triumphant than these interesting account=. A body of settlers, who emigrated to Upper Canada a little more than ten }ears since, placed themselves on the Company's lands near Guelph. They consisted of 156 families, of whieh number 129 had no capital whatever : tae wh, le number of persons were 436. They now pos 4,•ss 100 houses; they have cleared and cultivated 2 820 I,..res ; they have 438 head of cattle, 41 shcep, and 'nine horses; and the aggregate value of their property, formed ,ri a low estimate during the spring cf last year, was 7 ,,und to be 22 6581. There are many instances of an increase of capital in ten years seven-fold, and other cases still more startling and r vonderful, where the increase in value has arisen from :ocal circumstances and peculiarities, such as contiguity to t viilage or town, water powers,'&c. &c. ; but these do sot form a part of the. genera; estimate. The county of Huron has bsen described at greater length acd in more detail than other counties or town ships, _principally because it still affords the largest , cape for settlement, offers great and peculiar ad iantages, and establishes, beyond all doubt or dis putation, the full ability of the inhabitants of the tiritish Isles successfully to subdue the wilderness and :onvert it into productive land. It is essentially a B itish settlement; its cultivation has been principally effected by immigrants from England, Ireland, and Scotland : and the cheering results of their perseverance and vigour are to be seen in this fine fertile and extensive district, by the forma ion of numerous tillages, and in the quantity of cultivated land. The town of Goderich, the capital of nis district, beautifully situate at the margin of the ma jestic Lake Huron, at the confluence of the River Mak and, possessing now a safe, commodious, and noble bar.. ,our, and a large and thriving population, was an entire .vildcrness as recently as 1820. It has now its Court-house. And about 700 inhabitants, is surrounded by a country .vhose fertility of sort is unsurpassed by any in the Continent if America, and bounded by an inland sea, supplying the greatest variety and best description of fish. The town of Guelph, in the neighbourhood of this district, originally belonged to the Company, and was settled by their in trumentality. In 1827, it was untenanted but by the vests of the forest, without a tree having been felled ; it is now a district town, with four churches, numerous public buildings, possessing a large and increasing popu .ation, and is still progressirg in wealth and importance. To this statement are subjoined two tables, giving an analysis of returns from seventy-eight townships. In the first table, we find that in Otanabee twenty-one setlers, who had com nenced business without capital, have accumu lated among them a property of 6,1051., the ave rage property possessed by each being 2901. 14s. In Camden East, thirty-five settlers, who had also commenced without property, have accumu lated 8,1671., giving an average of 2331. each. In others the average extends to 5001., and in some instances to 800/. each. It appears also that 724 ( persons, who, on arriving in Canada, possessed together a capital of 34,517/.. had acquired oroperty in 1840 to the amount of 323,7161. Of these persons 337 were without any funds what ever, and they now possess an average of 344/. ?ach ; 89 arrived with capital in sums of 20/. and # ender, and they have now an average of 4291. • each. In the second table a similarly flattering xicture is drawn showing the following results :- 340 persons who on arriving in Canada possessed collectively 28,402/., in 1840 possessed-property ,o the amount of 224,031/. Of these, 310 settlers trrived in Canada with no capital whatever. they now collectively possess property to the tmount of 95,7871., being an average for each . )erson of 3081. 19s. 9d. ; 113 settlers arrived in ;anada with capital in sums of 20/. and under, to the amount of 1,151/. 17s. 7d., being an average or each person of 10/. 3s. 10d.; they now collec -ively possess property to the amount of 36,548/. 12s. 6d., being an average for each person of , 123/. Bs. 9d. ; 217 settlers arrived in Canada with •apital in sums above 20/. to the amount of 27,251/. being an average for each person of :25/. 1 ls. 7d ; they now collectively possess pro )erty to the amount of 91,6961., being an ave uge for each person of 422/. lls. 2d. 640 per nns. Total value of property, 224,0311. 12s. 6d. Some of the letters also contain interesting de tails, particularly that by Dr. Robert Ailing, the .migrant agent at Guelph, addressed to the Corn nissioners of the Company. He thus describes the country and the character of the settlers:— Guelph and the adjoining townships are remarkably healthy, and will bear a comparison with the most healthy 'pots known. Having been in man . ) parts of the world vhile in the medical department in the Royal Navy, and nearly twenty years in extensive practice in England, some good opportunities bare been given me to form a judgment upon. Guelph abounds with the best build rig materials, such as stone, lime, sand, brick. earth, And bard timber : pine we are short of, and bate. to , fetch it from a mill some few miles from us, our lands 'sing too good to grow it. All the hard woods, nd those said to indicate good soil, form almost exelu .ively the trees of this township; tt.e population of the township is 2,290: of the town 643. The settlers are wady all English. Scotch, and Irish, and these in about equal numbera. I have said, in this report, Guelph was at a low ebb in 1832, and as many persons who may lead what I write know that the township had been partially Icttled and carefully fostered by the Canada Company for some four or five years prkr to that date, they will be cu• rious to know why it was so little had been done by the first settlers, and as I was mvself at a loss to account for this. I made some inquiries at the time of my arrival here, and nany since. From these I learn of the old settlers them -elves, that when the Company's chief office was in Guelph, nany of these settlers were employed for months and even vears on the cutting roads, clearing town plot, constructing keptand hauli ngtheir e i l v d e i r n a g l m i l a i n ci d ani thus r a l i o ' n 6 g g 'ridges, making o n ;s te o r f ia l l a s n ' d B' ; e. atd c' it appears that when they did go on land they did not do much, having been nearly and some iuite spoilt by the Company's high wages, too liberal treating', and much too lenient overseers. It may be and undoubtedly is good to give a measure of assistance to )oor men on first coming to this country ; but I am of ipinion, that after doing a little for them, the sooner hey are thrown on their own resources the better it will >e for them. I have seen that many of the late-come poor t )ennile3s viorking men have far outstripped the earlier ettlers ; hence I must conclude that too much nursing if this class does not turn out beneficial to them We have here (as no doubt is the ease elsewhere hundant evidence tl show that the industrious sober emigrant, who resolves to succeed, will and does sec eed, help or no help ; while, on the other hand, some :ever do succeed, nor will they, give them what money, ,dvice, and assistance you may. These men arc to be found all over the world, so f e ar es I have seen it ; bty, we must remember that we who invite emigration to our ,d,)pted country, and those well-intentioned in•'.ividuals vho send em'grants from home, are in the path of duty. Men are placed in precisely the same situation which thousands have gained a competence, and same a little fortune, and thus tar we have served our ieighbour ; it is for him to make his election whether he vill do as others have 'done by the use of the same means, ir whether he will not. From pretty close observation luring the past eight years, I have come to the conclusion that the Scotch are the best and most successful of all emigrants. Come they with or without money. come they with great working sons, or with only little useless girls, t is all the same ; the Scotchman is sure to better his con 'ltion, and this very silently, and almost without a corn. jaint. Wall the sons poor Scorchmen bring out with them, scarcely any become servants. I obserse they woe,. w'th and for tbeir parents till the latter are well st ocked in and se. • curely provided fur, when these young men betake them selves to land on their own account. This is worthy of no. 'ice, and should be imitated by others , as the g reatest ad. vantages arederived from the family ha vin g a head in g ood circumstances, and ready with its assistance in times of need. The industry, frugality, and sobriety c f the Scotch, mainly contribute to their success, and stash habits are absolutely necessary to be rioidly followed by poor settlers on first entering the " Bush " I have care fully watched the progress and result of the Scotch, Irish, ind English emigrants, is the race to the goal desired br ill, viz , to obtlin a deed for their land, and find thht, A here all hate appeared to me to be equally well mourt A , nd precisely the same course to go over and the same hills of difficulty to ascend, the Scotchman is general y :list in at the winning-post Next to the Scotch, I am of tos every speak s o h f ad b e bin tod than grad of e :1 opinion the linalishrnan comes in fur his meed of p raise ; i u s t S i' ' S cotch is te in o fi r ni l t ri l s y h m i o le r i e g d h i b ffi ou c r u s i s a t of character, conduct, and success, is to be found amongst the English in this place and its n eighbouring townships ; suffice it to say, that were it not for a considerable num ber a good men from Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire, wh o ire prospering in this part of Canada, I must have let my own countrymen to be noticed last. Genera l y s p eakin g , English families do not hold together long enough to ensure the success; the sons of poor English em i g ra n ts leave th eir narents, and become servants at the usu al hi g h wa g es, and instead of saving money to purchase land, the sam e is squandered away in fine clothes, and at the nume reu• country b a ll s , & c . This course is followe d u p b y ta king a vvit.,‘, becoming a common labourer, arid hiring a s mart house in th e t own , where he is determined his wife shall wear as ri c h a silk dress on a Sunday a 3 any lady in place. The lowest characters we have in Guelph (and pests they are) turn out to be English drunkards. Ido not intend to make any attempt to dep'ive our Irishmen of their well-earned and well-known forte in making occasion ally more reds , than any other men when a Bole "high," but in common I fiad then more at their farms, or at tha , r respective tailings, than the English are. The Enlist, " gentleman farmer," who lust, in a few years, in the Old Country, nearly all he possessed on stsrtin ss in life, and thus, by living beyond his mains, neglecting his farm, and too hotly and constantly pursuing the hounds, comes toCanada. a very unlikely man to succeed ; such a man grumbles dreadfully at first, curses his hard fate, then the country, then the Government, then the Canada Company, and every man who ever wrote a line or said a word in favour of Canada. Onward, however, be goes by fits and starts, now determined to tru, again to give up; but after a few years we hear less and see more of this mare because his mind is sobered down, and he looks upon things as they really are ; he sees and feels that he is doing well in spite of himself ; that he has an est de of his own, has no dread of " rent-day," nor landlord, has no tithe to pay, no poor-rate, and almost no taxes of any kind. Should crops fail, or prices be very low, we never see a firmer " break " or " fail " in this neighbourhood ; aed the reason is, because the outgoings of a farm are very small, and the former can easily reduce them to any extent he pleases till things go better. This man sees also, that al though he is not himself in possession of so many lururics and amusements as he used to indulge is at home, he has all the substantial comforts and ne cessaries of life, and, moreover, is in a way, and in a country, where his children now have, and may hereafter continue to hive the same without failure, save what failure their own bad conduct may be the cause of. This class of men are numerous in the agricultural districts of England ; and, were they to come to this co lony before reducing their means to so low an ebb as they almost invariably do before starting from home, their ta'k here would be much easier to perform, and themselves spared a great deal of mental suffering and bodily fatigue. The rapid strides made by the plain, sober, hard-working English labourer, or small farmer of the Old Country, are truly worthy of our admire-ion and regard : with these men capital seems not to ba es:eatielly necessary to their success, as, in a few years, they actually outstrip and leave their old married masters far behind them. Of gentle woo, properly so railed, we have a full sprinkling all over our township ; out, as they will not be questioned as to what they had in money when they first arrived, neither can vie easily ascertain what sources they may have in the Old Country to give them a quarterly or annual supply of cash. We can oily speak of them as farmers and settlers, leavieg out of the question their g i r is er losses. I heva now to spelt of the Irish settlers, and what I have just said of English gentlemen will apply to the same seass of Lid]; the only laud I dad in some of them is a too frequsnt bolting over of their ardent eeinians and feel ergs se loyalty upon unnecessary occasions, and a too fre quent indulgence in invectives against sound Constitu tionalists, who do not, they think, come fully up to their Idea of patriotic perfection. We have here a good many of the " middle men" of Ireland, who succesd wall, and make excellent seelsrs, adding to the wealth and strength of the province. In times of commotion these men show their loyalty, and were amongst the foremost of volunteers to defend the province against enemies within and without it. There is here a very remarkable difference between the educated and uneducated liisb ; nearly every man of the former does well for himself and family ; and while he pays a eneerful deference to his superior-, comforts, sup ports, and consoles himself with an assurance that he is a worthy descendant of some highly respected ancestors of universal renown, and in duty bound so to demean himself as not to bring disgrace upon the family escutcheon ! A very large portion of Irish settlers hereabouts are composed of the lower orders of that country, and becauss of their numbers spa the Irish sample of settlers 'I his class go upon land as soon as they arrive here, and being without means, make very slow progress. Were they to " work out" for two or th ee years, and thereby accumu late capital (and all work rig men, women, aed children may do this and live well at the same time in this country), their chances of success would be more certain, and im provements more rapidly made ; the latter to an extent tSat would enable them to pay for their land before large arrears of interest are added to the first cost of the land. Labouring men are much wanted here, and the wages of such held out the strongest inducements far such men to come over to Canada. Food is very cheap, so much so that any working man may procure enough to maintain a family much better here than he can at home, by the pro ceeds of three days' work in a week, The wages of these men are, in ordinary times, 3s. 91. per diem, and during busy seasons much higher. I have lately renown men re fuse to work for a bushel of good wheat, or ten pounds of goon pork for a day's labour ! Servants of both sexes and of all ages are much wanted. Men-servants get from, 30/. to 311., and board, per annum. Servant girls have from 9/. to 151., and boarded, per annum, and younger servants in proportion. A great reduction has of le's taken place in the prices of all clothing and British manufactured goods in general. Stores in country places are now supplying goods at a very moderate advance on sterling cost, and this is a bsnefit to farmers and servants of great importance, in asmuch as they purchase such goods at twenty per cent. less than the same were sold at only a few months since. Many causes may be said to prodte e this change, but I believe it is more tee result of the combination of capital, mind, and enterprise mentioned above than any thing else. If I am asked what is the greatest evil in Canada, and which most retards its advancement, and is constantly checking i s rising importance, I would say bad roads. We stand now more in need of good bye-ways for settlers, and a highway across the country to the "far West," than any thing else. Next to roads, improved inland water commuoicetion. The settlers can and would cheerfully pay additional tex -s for these things. I wish it aver(' in my power to say something to my countrymen on the choice so many of them foolishly anti hastily make in giving the United States a preference without having first tried the Canadas. It is quite cer tain they must have much further :o travel before they can procure goad and cheap land than they would have to do in coming to this country, and it is notorious fevers and ague are common destroyers of health and life too in th "far West." There produce has t r incur an immense charge upon it by the extra hundreds of miles it has to co to market ; and, above all, how a right-minded and hieh spirited Briton can subject himself to the taunts and divers annoyances the Yankees are sure to inflict upon him continually, I know not, to ray nee hing of the price he must pay fir anything like a life of peace and quiet amongst them by taltieg the oath of :allegiance, in vs liSch he swears to become an enemy of his father-land God forgive the poor weak wretch who does this I My desire in making these remarks is not that I wish to rail at the Americans; on the contrary, I by no means approve of the silly things written and spoken of tides people daily, and by those who ought to know better than to try all their lives through to keep up ill fe( lung between the two criuntriss; but while I wish to let Americans do as they think best, and be Americans, I say let Englishmen, Scotchmen, end Irish men still remain even so. Th", fact, is, we, as Britons, have never been, whether at home or here, half so thoughtful, careful, active or zealous in settling this noble province with our countrymen as our neighbours have ever been in peopling theirs with whom they can catch. The only other extract for which we can find room is from. a letter of B. F. Barfoot, Esq., dated Chatham, 7th September, 1840, addressed to the Emigrant Agent:— " Although my experience dces not exceed four years, yet I cannot but view it as the granary of the world, snore especially the western district, possessing richness of soil scarcely to be equalle i, and escaping these early frosts so injurious in sonic sections of Canada. lam aware an opinion prevails in England, that the winters arc too se vere for European constitutions. On the contrary, the winters are not more severe in this section than in Eng land, and much more healthy ; net that I would desire to impress an opinion that Canada has no privations; on the contrary, the sca-city of money, the want of congenial so ciety to the more respectable portion of the community, to gether with those of a mere trivial description. But surely these would all be obviated were it more the resort of ca pitalists, the intelligent farmer, and the industrious respec table settlers. Such being the true merits of the country, and affording such encouragement for the investment of capital in building steam-boats, cutting canals, railroads, factwiee &c., each ensuring an ample return—in fact, nature has opeeed a water communication scarcely equalled, offering sources unparalleled for repaying the ca pitalist, and I am satisfied the advantages of Upper Ca nada only want to be more fully understood in Great Bri tain, to render it the resort of huudieds now labouring under the weight of competition. The sucte-s of the in.. dustrious and intelligent farmer in Canada is beyond doubt, in illustration of which, I have forearded a true statement of the progress made by settlers." WAVERLEY NOVELS. Vol. Waverley." WAVERLEY NOVELS. Vol. I. Part Waverley." —This is the cheapest and boldest speculation of the time, fertile as it is in cheap literary speculations—,he entire novel of " Waverley," with all the introductions and notes, for four shillings, with a choice or editions for the pur chaser. Those who have litle time to spare, who gruege the cost of bookcases, and who do not object to double columns, may purchase the large edition, which will corn. prise the whale :if the Waverley Novels in five volumes. Those who prefer a pot ket-siie may choose the small oc tavo, bound to their hand and ready for the book shelf, which will extend to twenty-five volumes ; the cost of each 1 edition being the same. The larger edition appears the lest adapted for separate purchase. We have called this cdiiion the cheapest of modern tmes, and we have not spoken at random. Regard being had to typographical elegance, as well as to nominal price, Mr. Smith's S'andard Library " reprints are about the ce plus 'tl'ra of anything we have seen. His edition of Mis Inch balo's " Simple Story" contains somewhat more than nine*y pages at a price of two shilling , ; " Waverley" upwards of one hundred and eighty for four shi!licgs. It must be remembered, too, that " Waverley" is copy right, the " Sin ple Story" the reprint of a public prover.y. Some cont•ideration must also be had to the eigatitie na ture and duplex form of the Waverley editions—fifty ye lumes of wair rated issue. It is curious to speculate upon the cause of this speculation. Is it a sign of a still grow ing taste for reading with a consequently:increasing mar ket, which the holders of copyrights find it their interest to supply ? or is it the approaching extinction of copy. right in the earlier noveh (" Waveey" expiring, we be lieve, in 1842), that induces the owners to take time by the forelock, and sußly the cheap market before the fee trader can come in for a share ?—Spectator. `OUR FLEET IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.--- MARMORICA, MARCR B.—The Howe sails for Malta to morrow.

The following judicious remarks on this subject are t iken from that independent and excellent journal the Aberdeen Herald. It is refreshing to find such argu. meets published in a Scotch newspaper amidst the noise and fury of the benighted bigots, and the liberal sup port which it receives from a numerous class of readers proves that the people of Aberdeen still preserve their long established character for sound discretion and in dependence. We trust the statement of Mr. Chalmers will not be lost on the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Normanby, who at present appear to chime in with a fanatical sect alike ignorant of the injunctions of Scripture and the dictates of common sense:— On Tuesday last, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to a question by Mr. Hume, stated that Go vernment had entered into an arrangement whereby the mails would be carried on six days of the week by railway, and by coach on Sunday. This is obviously a concession to the preposterous demands of the Agnew Sabbatarians, and is as discreditable to Mr. Baring as the tampering with the Non-intrusionists is to his col league the Lord Advocate. It is bad enough to be pestered with the nonsense of our modern Pharisees ut Exeter-hall meetings and in Scotch Presbyteries, but it is much worse to find it countenanced at the Treasury. If the ruling power is to be handed over to the soi.disant sdnts on both sides of the Tweed, it is high time that quiet, sensibly people were preparing to emigrate ; far, under the dominion of the Exeters, the Agnews, the Cunniughams, and the Macgills, anything tut a millen nium may be anticipated. Perhaps the Ministry imagine that they are strength ening themselves by yieding to the importunit es of the pharisaical party ; but they are grievously mistaken. There is a great deal of over-pretension to piety, both in England and Scotland ; bur, as worldly gain is often slowed to interfere with real religious duty, it is not likely to s.tarl out of the way of a mere mock observance. A number of bigots and enthusiasts have, in opposition t the whole of Chri.tendom, del without the slight est warrant from Scripture, adopted the notion that Sunday must be observed exactly in the way that the Jews were ordained to observe the Sabbath ; and the Chancellor of the Exchequer is weak enough to humour their ridiculous fancy, at great inconveni. ...lice and much expense to the country. For this he may obia;n the thanks of the fashionable pietists who occupy themselves much more with national sins than with their own ; but he may rest assured that he will give griev ous offence to the really religious and sensible poction of the community. The merchants of Liverpool, Man chester, Leeds, York, G asgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen, however serious they may be, are too keenly alive to the advantages of regular communication to allow it to be interfered with on such hypocritical pi etences as those put forward by the Agnewites. For what, atter all, will be the effect of the new arrangement ? Why, neither more nor less than to cause a great deal more Sunday labour than is re quired at present, and create many opportunities for desecration of. the Lord's Diy that do not now exist. The mail coach, carrying only eight. passen gers, requires nearly as many attendants as the railway train carrying a hundred. Then there are the grooms and strappers at every stage ; and last, not least, there is the working of God's dumb creatures on the day of rest. It has been remarked, too, that wherever railway lines have been established, intemperance has deci eased. The wayside taverns are deserted, because the traveller is hastened on to his journey's end in a space of time so short, and under regulations so strin gent, as to preclude all necessity or excuse for taking refreshments. Tie consequence of this has been ren dered very conspicuous on sonic of the English roads by the desolate and deserted look of wayside taverns, that formerly were well frequented. Indeed, the com plaints from country victuallers have been so numerous, that, were we not well assured of the contrary, we might believe that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had made his arrangement with a view to the promotion of their interest rather than of Sabbath observance !—for, really, the mail coach with its smoking horses—its guard's horn—its bustle of strappers, grooms, and .pec t Itors at inn deers—its deliya for.drinking—and its comparatively leisurely pace through the heart of towns and vill !gee, is but a sorry exchange in the way of quietness for the rapid mail train passing along a route not yet, at any rate, thickly studded with houses. Admitting, for a moment, that the Pharisees are right in insisting on a Jewish Sabbath, we cannot see how the arrangement, agreid to by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is to promote the object they have in view. It weal, rather, as v e have alie idy said, be the means of causing a greater breach of the fourth corn menchnent. It horses be cattle—and on the coach-box they are so designated—they are strictly included in the prohibition from labour—" The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt not do any werk, thou nor thy man servant, nor thy maid-ser vant, nor thy cattle, eor the stranger that is within thy gates." Sur.ly, then, even according to their own ideas, the S..bbatarians ought to prefer machinery to coach travelling on Sunday. The snorting en gine is not included in the letter of the command- , merit, and the spirit of kindness to inferior anirriaJs is not infringe,' by letting your work be done by inanimate matter. The Almighty rested on the seventh day, but ' his suns and planets were allowed to revolve for the benefit of his creatures. May not man, imitating at an humble distance Him in whose image he was made, allow the inanimate mass, which he has fashioned almost into a thing of life, to proceed on its course, dispensing the ble sings of a high state of civilization. Hit be law ful to do good on the Sabbath day, surely the mail-bag, with its various and interesting contents, bearing tid ings ot joy and sorrow to equally anxious breasts, should not be unnecessarily delayed or interrupted. And if it is to . be forwarded at all on Sunday, the railway is obviously the mode by which it can be accomplished stith the greatest regularity, and at the same rime with least injury to the feelings of such as thi n k t h at t h e Jewish observance of the Sabbath is still imperatively required. But the change from railway to coach is only one step towards the complete abolition of our Christian privileg s which the Agnewites cootemp ate. They are already clamouring for-an entire stoppage of the mails on Sunday, and, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer has already yielded one point, we do not see how he can refuse to go all lengths with them. There is no valid argun:eut for a change from railways to coaches— but soma thing on the score of humanity can be said in favour of the total suppression of Sunday travelling. It is well, therefore, that the public should be made aware of the cost at which a pharisaical observance of Sunday is to be purchased, lest perchance our complaisant rulers should feel themselves compelled to carry out their measure for conciliating the sanctimonious. When the stoppage of the mails was talked of before, we pointed out the inconveniences that would accrue ; the subji et has since been taken up by Mr. Chalmers, book seirr, Dundee, and is thus practically and ably treated : It is now neatly twenty years since I first began to devote attention to Mail-coach acceleration and other matters connected with Post-office arrange. inents, and in consequence was occasionally led to suggest improvements which have generally been adopted, and publicly acknowledged as beneficial to the community—l therefore should very much re gret it any over-zealous, motive, or mistaken con jecture, should in the least be instrumental in curtailin the privileges we now enjoy in our reguhir correspon dence. In the hope that a statement of a few facts ri htive thereto may show what the consequences would be if any change were to take place, even on a limited scale, I am induced to submit the following : In newspaper reports of various recent proceedings at meetings of presbyteries we have been entertained with motions and notices of motions, to petition Parhamen or her Majesty s Government, to discontinue mail-cone tray: ihng on th.• Sabbath-day My object is to show what effect the proposed scheme would have on mail-coach operations ; and in doing so, I shall confine my,elt to one line of road—namdy, that from London to Aberdeen via York and Perth —and thereafter make a few remarks on its consequences, both in a commercial and social paint of view. The distance from London to Edinburgh is 398 mil e s ; from Edinburgh, by Perth to Aberdeen, 134 iniles—maklig t(lether 532 miles ; which distance the mail accomplishes in about 60 hours! Therefore, the mail which leaves London, at 8 o'clock on THURSDAY evening, reaches Buckland (35 miles north of London) about 12 o'clock that night ; Durham, 263 miles, at 12 o'clock on Friday night ; Woodhill Inn (half-way betwixt Dundee arid Arbroath), 472 miles, at 12 on Saturday night, where it would have to remain 24 hours, unt►l 12 o'chek on Sunday night. FRIDAY'S London Mal reaches Durham at 12 o'clock on Saturday Night —these it would have to temain 24 hours. SATURDAY'S London Mail reaches Buckland at 12 o'clock that Night—where it would have to remain 24 hOUrg. Agin, the 111hil from Aberdeen to London, which deptrts from Aberdeen at *three o'clock, afternoon, on THURSDAY, reaches Perth at half-past 12 6 9 c!ock that night; Durham, at a quarter past 11 o'clock on Friday night ; Arrington (45 miles north of London) at halt-past 12 o'clock on Saturday night, where it would . - have to remain 231 hours. FRIDAY'S Aberdeen Mail reachee Durham at a quar ter pa,t 11 o'clock on Saturday night, where it would hav,• t i remain 24f hours. And SATURDAY'S Aberdeen Mail reaches Perth at limit-past 12 o'clock that night—where it would have to remain until 12 next night. By the preceding, it will be observed, that exclu sive of the present blank or Sunday Mail from London, these would be three days lost weekly each way in the correspondence betwixt London and Aberdeen, and that every intermediate pl ace wou ld be mor e or l ess affected by it ; and farther, were the mids stopped on Sundays, it consequently foilows that post-offices wou'd not be opened for delivery on that day either. The effect, for instance, would then be, With regard to Durham, Dundee, o,ad Perth, that the north, south, and west tnads, arriving at these places kite on Saturday night, the correspondence by V I;N' ING UDITIOg them would have to remain in the respective 14; offices until M on d ay morn i ng -36 h o urs ; Tha ins:e d . ° other places w ou ld b e s i m il ar ' y situated. Weal, t such would b e th e resu l t on one line how extensive a nd ser i ous wou ld its consee ea t c he prove if the whole mail-coach arrangements in 1...4 kingdom were subjected to the proposed chang e , ol change, I admit, not at all likely t o take place , °' e to be listened to. We may, however, I e inclined to give the p e. 114 tioners c:cdit for their motive—namely, to ece rt ,,,, f dc!.eeration of the Sabbath—the present sys t° dtr venting coach-guards, drivers, &c., were they 1 so y posed, attending churches. In answer to this , i d be that, in res p ec t t o guar d s an d d r i vers , they yo u f r o left on the Saturday nights at such distances their homes that they might not be prepared t° g a w p, places of worship ; and if mails were compelled to a top, perhaps at a county.- inn, or some obscure villager begs no place of security - could be found to deposit the skier —however attentive guards might be in lookieg et c their charges —many chances o f ro bbery by s trBe9 o . u/d or confederacy might take place. In fact, guards °lob be prisoners by day, and r eq ui re a ssistants t 0 11 along with them by night.
