MORNING SUN MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The mercantile circu'ar of Messrs. True man and Cook, of London, and the mercantile circular of Messrs. Buchanan and Co., of Liverpool, in review ing the state of trade during the past year, agree in most points as to the causes which have made it one of so little profit to those engaged in business. Bath ficms appear to carry their observation back to the date of the establishment of joint-stock banks, and the redgandancy in circulation created by their reckless advances of monies as one of the chief causes which have produced the late extreme depression of trade. These advances, they say, called into existence mills and machinery to an extent which carried production far beyond reasonable bound. A. succession of bad harvests is also quoted as having bad a powerful in fluence in bringing about so much derangement ; for the quantities of foreign wheat and flour on which duty has oeen paid for consumption in the United Kingdom were, in 1838, equal to 1,834,453 quarters ; in 1839, 2,681,390 quarters ; in 1840, 2,436,665 quarters ; in 1841, ' 1 ,413 0 16 quarters ; making together 9,365,724 quarters in four years, for which little short of 0 0 000,000/. sterling were paid to export.ng countries, whereas in the four preceding years the amount in value was not more than 500,0001. Reference is also stfongly and pointedly made to the suspension by the American States, and the failure of houses in that trade, which, having a large amount of capital locked up on the other side of the Atlantic, have been re duced_to the necessity of winding up till the derange ment in trade has passed ; while also the state of our foreign relations is indicated as having pressed heavily on business in all departments. With respect to the future, Messrs. Trueman and Cook write—" It is highly satisfactory to observe, in regard to the position of our monetary affairs, upon which a return to prospe rity much depends, that the year commences with a change for the better, so decided as to form quite a con trast to what has been long experienced. The Bank of England was never more at ease, for bullion is flow ing in from all quarters ; and their stock in about two or three months has increased 2,000,000, being now 6,000,000, and even allowing for some check from fur ther imports of corn, it is not unreasonable to expect that by the month of April the accumulation will have reached at least 7,000,000. Messrs. Buchanan and Co. take much the same view of the tffect of the late large influx of specie upon the stock of bullion in the Bank, although they hardly g - ve so high an estimate of the amount by nearly 1,000,0004, and form a similar opinion as to a favourable return in business, if it is followed with prudence and caution. 03 the subject of foreig n investments they stat.— " Previous to this period (alluding to about 11 years ago, which was the period when the dispOsition sprang up to seek a new system for the employment of capital) surplus money had been very generally lodged in the hands of experienced private bankers at a moderate in terest, and was employed by them with prudence and judgment, tl.e more so because. it was loaned on their individual responsibility. So soon however as the vari ous foreign and domestic joint•stock projections began to come in favour with the British public, more parti cularly those of the United States of America, then these deposits were gradually wi:hdrawn, and invested from time to time, together with constant and enormous annual accumulations, in undertakings ren dered temptieg, not, as it should have been, by the reasonable prospect of ultimate success, because based on solid foundations, but by the temptation afforded in the shape of high interest or a quick premium: This a;.ecies of gambling in time produced reflection on the part of some, and mo e correct itiformation of the real state of affiirs on the part of others, induced the initi ated, from 002 or the other of these motives, to pock, t tLe early bonuses, and leave the unwary in the lurch Ruinous as many of our local schemes have been, in the tra . t. :d States of America, where a very large amount of British money was invested, the results are disastrous in :1e extreme. Tue absolute extinction of capital by many of these projections is enormous, and the buoy eney of trade and commerce necessarily crippled there by. These remarks, though applying to the monied interest generally, do particularly so to business men liavieg moderate surplus means, and a class of people not conearnA with trade. ADVEItTISER.—Our private letters from Ports mouth mention that the freight of specie brought by her 'Majesty's ship Conway, from Chins, forming part of the sum guaranteed to Captain Elliot as the ran som for Canton, consi.ts of Sycee silver, and not of Spanish dollars, as has been stated. The freight con sitts of sixty-two tons of silver, and is worth .550,000/. It must have been a scurce of infinite pain to Cie Emperor of Cnina and his I - I;gh Commissioner, to lava parted with this the first instalment of the amount of the ransom, in a metal, to retain which within the. empire has always been a source of the greatest anxiety to the authorities. In fact, bad not ilia opium trade .a direct teadency to drain China of the Sycee silver, there might, perhaps, not have been a ban placed upon it. If we reao:lect right': ,in sonic • of the earlier pr. - ;clamations against the opium trade, the morals of the people received but slight considera tien the great reason why the drug should be pro hibited being that it tended to cause large exportations of this precious metal in favour of eta barbarians. 'There is no precedent for such a large amount of Sycee silver being receive,: into this country. The coffers of the II ink of - ragland will next week receive this valu able consignercot. The value of this, the favourite and much cherished metal of the Celestial Government, is intrinsically greater than that of B:itisb silver. Direr consignments are expected to teach this country soon on the same account. RUSSIA AND POLAND. (From the Journal deg Debuts.) The lust news from Poland announces that the system for uniting this unfortunate country with the Russian i-inpire haa, reached its last period. The Germanpapers have already published the measures relative to the union of language and of currency in the two countries. The Augsburg Gazette of the 27th of November con reins au article which shows the opposition which exists . - lestween the policy .of the l'i;ng of Prussia and that of he Emperor with respect to the Polish provinces. A decree inserted in the Official Gazette of St. Petersburg, 'suppressing the Supreme Court and Council of State of that. ancient kingdom, which it replaces by two sections palled departments of the Russian Senate, has peoved the last and final blow to Polish nationality. The Senate in Russia is not, as is believed, an aristocratic. Chamber, an independent pi ever, intermediate between the throne and the nation. The real Russian aristocracy, the territorial aristocracy, lives at Moscow, or on its lande, exercising no influence over the affairs of the country. The Senate is compfisedofie iurtiers and generals,the mostpart foreigners ; it forms a superior tribunal, which, although it is not a tribunal of upped, is in some sort at the disposal of the Minister of !Justice, who acts as its Attorney-General. The Senate is at present composed of ten sections, six Of which are at St. Petersburgh, the seventh and eighth at Moscow, and the ninth and tenth at Wursaw. The first ssetion is destined to register and preserve the ukases of other sections are kinds of tribunals jeileing all civil attains unanimously. It is a stransre end, - rstnarkahle fact that the famous liberuni veto of Poierel, which distal-bed so many political assemblies, is feuel in the Russian Senate to diSturri private affairs. oppositionsof a single member or a section is sulli „ cient to annul a judgment ; it is then sent to the Gene ral Assembly of all the sections together, which judges theee . questions by the majority of votes. Nevertheless, afEer judged bv,the Senate in the sections and in the isaessi Assembly is not ended; - on the appeal of the .ii ,e-te•r eneetir-Generalit may be sent into the Bu ie isss hisit eeve their advice ; from thence, it is .trans atr,rre l - tea the emeneil of the Empire, composed of all the . . ei i n is tors, theilignitariee of the C 4 mreand the oldest gene rs Is. where 'it is again judged ; hut thiS is not yet all. Is is ninnitted at last, to the decision of the Emperor. i ie . ee %sill is above the law. let the affair is not always thatompreme thrm, for it often happens that tine :- Ic ..ft,;Bilioviir, when occapied with more serious affitirs, sends -,,ilt s te rr ilts. nilmnal of the First Instance. This wont has to the characteristic Russian pro verb, "All :Clair is never so near being won as when it i s ism" it_may he said that in Russia tri ' bunals mertee exist for form ; all is judged in the Ca- Meet of the Minister and of the Senators by obscure end ignorant people. It is easy to see what a. door re mains-open to corruption with such a system and such tribunals, judging according to indecipherable laws. These laws, which the Emperor Nicholas has united, forin sixty-seven volumes in quarto. The extracts of these laws containing the laws called obligatory . laws, which serve as a code fur the judgment of causes, is corn peed of twenty volumes, which are increased each year, With an appendix; containing the orders of the Emperor in the coarse of the year, and which have the force of laws. The two sectioes of the Senate of Warsaw differ from_ the others, in that one judges criminal affairs and the other civil affairs. According to the last letters from Warsaw, the Code •of Napoleon, which the inhabitants . were already accustomed is about to be replaced by a legislative digest, made under the inspiration of cen tral power at St. Petersburgh. The territorial tax will be replaced by the capitation, such as exists in Russia. This tax is paid by the proprietor, who answers to the State for his peasants and serfs. The abolition of the line of custom-houses in the two countries will be put in execution. It is the only measure good for Po shut up between Russia and Prussia, could .not exr, wt. its natural pt.-since, nor its manu factured produce towards Asia, especially towns cis "Ina , it; ~ j 0:11 would he sure of an advan tageous sale. The national and confiscated goals and lands of emigrants have a'l been made over to the Warsaw bank. All these lands, which form alm'mst one third of the country, are to he sold, bat the money which comes from it will enter into the Imperial Tressdry ; for, alcording to the last decrees of the Emperor, the Bank is to send in• b eistiees and surplus of its funds to Treasury. The other imasures, such a s th e i nsta l ment of the .s rshici! tneilra I at Warsaw • the enrolling of *Jews in tl e army, the in reduction of the Rusiean language into the acts of almnistration, and into all the colleges, the obligation of wearing the Russian - uniform, the trans . formation into a public establishment of the Sybyllii of Pulawy, a t mple consecrated to the Polish n at i onal i ty s —all these measures are the complement of that level ling system, the aim of which is 'to destroy every vestige of Polish nationality. PI X 4 f _ Resides, the Russian Gtwernment, no doubt fearing to increase the authority, of the territorial proprietors in Pela n d, h as just decided that the officers of the army, wilt:. Amide occupy almost all the civil functions, will Cctlred to thefunction4 of Mayor in the country places. VI • 4 .ttt • •,, , 4 11 But here the calculations of despotism are at fault. The officers who have no immovable property in the country, and whose pay is insufficient, will . he obliged to depend on those they are placed to - watch,. and will thus imbibe ideas from which they would have been pre served, if they had kept their. military function. It is well known what answer was given by a Governor of a province, accused of too much mildness t owar d s t h e Poles. " There is," said he, "something in the at mosphere which modifies the nature and the cha racter of man, and if the Emperor were in Poland, he would become a Pole." The Grand Duke Constantine, eldest brother of the Emperor Nicholas, after a few years' stay in Warsaw, wishel rather to abandon the throne than renounce Poland, where he had married the daughter of a simple citizen. 'What, then, is that magic influence, that hidden power, which acts with so much force upon the'Russians in Poland ? It is civilization, the spirit of progress, which all the efforts of despotism -cannot root out, and which will show itself sooner or later among theßussians. The Poles until now have only fought in the name of their nationality and their independence ; but if they would keep their flag till happier times, and then begin a struggle in the name of that civilization which is so un worthily outraged, one of. those commotions of which Russia has already felt the fatal effect might take place. Poland has - always been the scarecrow of Russia ; the Russian philosophers and liberals, full of hatred and na tional rivality, repulseil all that came from that part, laws, customs, and liberties ; they thought it better to seek models in the Grecian and Roman annals or the American Constitution. Now that simple Polish Consti tution, which one of their Sovereigns promulgated in a moment of inspiration, has given to politics principles, to society better laws ; and these new dogmas will not want ardent disciples to propagate that. The Russian empire is, no doubt, imposing by its ensemble and its ex tent. All classes are linked one to the other by a mili tary hierarchy, and by an iron discipline which directs them at its will. But if a single spring of this vast ma chine gets out of its place, the whole is likely to fall, leaving the field free for the 'old spirit of municipal free dom, and to ardent populations impelled in divers ways by sentiments of nationality." LAW INTELLIGENCE. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 10. IN RE WM. STEWART MORGAN. The insolvent in this case described himself as a lite rary writer, and was opposed by Mr. WOODROFFE, on behalf of Henry Chute, the proprietor of the Cambrian Coffee-house, Russell-street, Covent-garden. It appeared that the insolvent, his — wife, four children, and a female friend, had taken up their abode at the house of the opposing creditor, where a bill was run up, which the defendant was unable to pay. Several other debts having been read from his balance sheet, Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said he considered that the insolvent had contracted the debt with Mr. Chute with out any reasonable expectation of paying it. As he had been already three months in prison, the judgment of the Court was, that he be further confined for seven months. IN RE JOHN PETER HOLLOWAY. This insolvent, who was a very aged and infirm man, appeared on his petition to be discharged. His liabilities were very large, and he was examined at great length by Mr. WOODROFFE, regarding certain chattels which he had given to a person named Smart, and the disposal of a policy of insurance effected upon his own life for 1,500/. _ _ The Learned bommissioNEß said, in the present state nt . the case, he should order it to stand over for a few days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP- STREET. James Orridge, the driver of one of Barber's Hackney omnibuses, was charged with having driven over an aged woman rained Louisa Gardiner, and thereby caused her ee,th. Several witnesses were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that at about eight o'clock on Saturday even ing, the defendant was driving his omnibus along High street, Shoreditch, when the unfortunate woman was in the act of crossing the road, and although the prisoner callel out three times to apprise her of her danger, and endeavoured ineffectually to pull up his horses, she made no effort to get out of the way, and was knocked down under one of the fore wheels of the omnibus, which passed over her neck. She was picked up in an inani mate state, and on being taken to the shop of Mr. French, a chemist, in the street, it was Sound that-she was dead. All the witnesses represented the occurrence as having been purely accidental, and said that after it took place the prisoner cried bitterly, and rendered all the assist ance that the deplorable result enabled him to do. The prisoner was discharge:l. CROYDON POLICE. A young man, having the appearance of a gip s y, named Win. Davidson, was brought before Messrs. Currie and Sutherland upon two charges of stealing a donkey and a pony. The proceedings adopted by the pri soner to avoid discovery were of rather a novel character. A young man named Popjoy proved that on the 16th of December his mother lost a donkey off the Common at Streatham, and that he afterwards heard the prisoner had been seen in possession of an animal answering the description of the one that had been stolen. William Wilcol, a pot-boy to a public-house at Ilrixton, said, that a day or tivi after the robbery the prisoner, whom he had known before, Came to him, and after they had had e seme beer together, he asked him whether he had heard about old mother Popjoy losing her ass. He then went to tell him that he and another drove the donkey into the prisoner's shed, an 1 that they (1 Aped him, gave him some corn, and stained his nose, m hich "before iv' s white, a dark colour, and then took him up to Smithfield, and sold him. He also said, that what they did to the " moke" so altered hi; appearance, that if the old woman had seen it she would not have known her ass (gill). Inspector Collier F&d that some clue was obtained to the stolen donkey, but having ivicertained that the don key sold by the prisoner was not a white-faced one, this for a time, put a stop to the inquiry. The stolen ani mal was so disfigured that its own father would mt have known it again.—(Laughter.) The MAGISTRATE 4 :aid.thcy thought that, under the circumstance , , time ought to be given for further in quiry, and they remanded the prisoner upon this charge. Tize prisoner was then c'iarged with stealing a pony from Ca2ham Common. • Evidence having been given to show that th e pony was seen on the Common, John Steadman, who described himself as helper to his uncle, who, he said, was a horse-dealer, was ex aminel, and he said he had a string of horses at the World - Upside Down, in the Kent-road, where he saw the prisoner with a chesnut pony, and it kept getting loose,-and seemed very hungry ; and he asked the priso ner what he wanted for it, and he replied that it was a " stunning pony;" and he must have thirty bob for it. "I axed him, 'proceeded the witness, " if it was sound ?" "Sound !" says he, " ah, as the day yen it vos folded." " Vy," says I, it's got a dreadful pair of broken knees." " Yell," says he, " barrin that, and its broken-vinded and blind, I considers it sound." The witness proceeded to state that after some bargaining he gave the prisoner twenty-three " bobs" for the pony, which he afterwards took to Smithfield, and sold. • Mr. CURRIE—(TO the witness)—What sort of a pony was this ? Witness—A regular boiler.—(Laughter.) It wasn't fit fir nuffin but the knacker. The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was then remanded upon both charges. EDINBURGH HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. - Thursday the Court met for the trial of a number of cases, among which was one which attracted an unusually genteel auditory. James Bower Barn, John Topp, Richard Blennerhasset, and Thomas °tater, students of medicine, were charged with a breach of the peace, by fighting a duel last sum mer ; as also assault by means of loaded fire-arms, whereby Mr. Topp was wounded in the left thigh by Mr. Burn, the other two gentlemen aiding and abetting, by . acting as seconds. These charges were laid first as at common law, and the act of Shooting with intent to kill or do some grievous bodily harm, was also charged under the statute. - • 1 The prisoners pleaded guilty of the assault, to which the Lord Advocate restricted the charge. An eloque n t appeal was made on behalf of the prisoners by Mr. P. Robertson, their counsel, who stated the high respecta bility of the young gentlemen, of which he held ample documents. He also urged the extreme rareness of the offence, in order to show that a severe punishment was unnecessary for its 'prevention in future, no similar case having come before the Court during the last fourteen years. Their Lordships, in consideratio n o f a ll t h e circum stances, considered themselves justified in awarding a sentence of two months' impriso nment i n t h e J a i l of Edin burgh; and to find caution to keep the peace for two years, under a penalty of 501. each. FRIDAY.—The only trial of interest which came before the Court, this day, was that of James Boyd, engineman on the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, charged with cul pable homicide, in so far as in the month of October last where the railway passes through the village of West haven, he caused the death of an old woman, 82 years of age, and who was quite deaf. She was driven off the rails by the engine, which the panel was driving, and was so much injured that she died. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The trial lasted for about seven hours. , IRISH MILESTONES.—A stranger riding along the road, observed that all the milestones were turned in a particular way, not facing the road, but rather averted from it. Ile called to a countryman, and inquired the reason. " Oh, bless you, sir," replied the man, " the wind is so strong sometimes in these parts, that if we weren't to turn the backs of the milestones to it, the figures would be blown off them, clear and clean." NIELANCHOLY ACCIDENT--Whilst the wife of Charles Devonport, moulder, of Cyfarthfa Iron Works, went to the shop on Monday morning last, she left two chil dren in bed; when on her return, without being absent very long, the first spectacle she beheld was a fine, intelligent boy of five years of age, almost burnt to a cinder. It is easier to conjecture than to describe her feelings at such a sight. An inquest was held on the body before Wm. Davies, Esq., Coroner, when a verdict was returned ac cordingly. Here is another warning to parents. We would strongly recommend families where there are chil dren, to have guards to prevent them from going too near the consuming element.—Silarian. CHANDOS TESTIMONIAL—DREAD OF RE VELATIONS.—Owin,, to unavoidable and unforeseen cir cumstances i , t has been found necessary to postpone the dinner intended to have been given to his Grace the Duke of Buclifingham anti Chandos, on the 11th of Feb ruary, on the occasion of the presentation of the testi monial from the Agricultural interest, and it is supposed that the presentation will be made in Whitsun week, when a dinner on an extensive scale Will take place.— Buck Herald. TAB; SETN, LO CAPTAIN PAGE'S INTERESTING NARRATIVE OF A CAPTIVITY IN BORNEO. At 9 r.m., on the 4th of January, the Sultana was under double-reefed topsails in a fresh north-easterly grle, with h eavy sea an d ra i n , w h en h er main topmast and mainmast-head were shivered by lightning, and seve ral of the crew in and on the forecastle being knocked down, made me conclude it had passed from the ship by the chain cables. At 1 lb. 30m. smoke was discovered issuing from below, fore and aft, and the decks we e found to be much heated. We endeavoured to get at the gunpowder, but found it impossible, and, being of opinion that the firo was generally below, the ship was hove to, and with much difficulty we succeeded in hoist ing out the longboat, the flames forcing themselves up the main hatchway, and the vessel pitching heavily. On this occasion, as well as on all throughout, the greatest credit is due to the officers, gunners, and seacunnies. The boats were dropped astern, and he small quantity of biscuit, &c., in them was nearly all rendered useless from the salt water. At lb. 30.1). A.M. on the sth, not knowing how soon she would blow up, the chief officer and myself joined the boats. At this time every thing was rapidly burning on deck, and about 15 minutes afterwards the masts fell, when the poop became a mass of fire and wreck. We remained near the bill until nine, and then made sail in the long-boat, with,a top-gallant studding sail, taking the other boats in tow, for the wreck of the French frigate Magicie one, which was lying in three feet water on the soutb-cast extreme of the Bombay Shoal, bearing south-west about 40 miles, intending to fit out from her, and proceed to Singapore. At day -I.ght, on the 6th, went within a few feet of the wreck, but could not effect a landing ; the wind increasing, and the boats falling to leeward, we made sail for the land of Palawan, then in sight. Served out for three days I.6th part of a biscuit to each person, which was our entire stock, and two wine glasses of water. Had. , fresh north-easterly winds with a most scorching sun. l' -0a the 9th the longboat was with great difficulty kept afloat. Lost sight of the cutter pulling in for the shore. Balaback Island north-east, distant ten miles. On the 10th ran our boat on one of the IVtaugoak Islands, where we stopped some of our leaks, and procured very bad water and a few shell fisb. Found there two Malay huts with fires in them. On the 11th, expecting an at tack from the Malays on the opposite shore, we lighted our fires and left in the dark, and from that time to the 16th had light variable airs with strong currents, when we arrived at the entrance of the Borneo River in the extreme of misery, with the wind and tide setting us in, and no means of bringing up. Many of us had been twelve days with 'nothing more to eat than half a bis cuit. There were in this boat Mrs. Page and her et tendant, Mr. and Miss Da Souza, Mr. Gill, the chief officer, Mr. Young, A. Goise, the Nakhoda, myself, and Lascars. We determined on applying to the Sultan for provisions to enable U 3 to reach Singa pore, and took in a pilot from one of his boats. This man informed us that a ship had left the roads for Singapore two days before, and that three prows were preparing to start by the next moon, in which, no doubt, the Sultan, whom he described to be au excellent old man, would order us a passage, as he repeatedly did the same with others in our situation. When is ithin a few miles of the Sultan's house we were boarded by a heavily armel boat, which directions from the Sultan to take us and our eff.cts. before him, and would be reipon sible for all. To this we submitted, and were landed in Borneo at an outhouse of the Sultan's, where we were detained and most of our clothes, Sce., taken and examined by him. My butler had a box of trinkets of Mrs. Page's, which was forced from him by one of the Sultan's people, anal given to the Sultan, whom I requested to see, but was told it was impossible. as he was too great a man to be disturbed. At that time be was seen by the officers examining our parcels. He sent me a message by the gunner, the purport of which was, that if we did cot give up all we had to the person be had appointsd, Pangeran Momain, his son in law, the people around us, who afterwards proved to be his private attendants, would take them and our lives, and if we did not wish to die, we had better entrust everything to his care, which should be returned when we left. An account was then taken in our presence, and all , valuables delivered to him accordingly, it being evident he was determined to have them. We pointed out the man who stole the trinket-box, of whom they took no notice. They gave us some rice and fruit, and we were removed to a small room belonging to one of the Rajahs, and being thoroughly exhausted went to sleep. Immediately on awaking 1 went to look after our boat, but only found part.of her hull remaining, the Sultan having taken everyti . .ing from her, even to the ironwork, which we saw repeatedly afterwards in his house. On returning I found a disgusting looking Malay, who told us he was the Sultan, and we must always address him as Patik 'foonkoo, and that we were truly fortunate in having fallen into his kind care, as any other Raj dr would have taken all we brought and then killed us. He then, without waiting a moment, started off, accompanied by a train of armed men and boys, his constant attendants. I followed and requested to purelm_e provisions ' saying we intended repairing ou r boat and leaving for Singapore in a few da)s. He re p Tied that he was far too good a King to permit us to leave in so small a boat, Ur:A he had a lirge Govern ment prow, which should be despatched in a few days with us for Singapore, and that, as his most anxiou s wish was to gain the favourable opinion of the English, he bad ordered clothes to be made for us, and we should be sent away loaded with presents. This I did not believe, and told him our own boat with a little provision would answer our purpose much better than his, and that we would certainly give him a high cha racter at Singapore. At this he was much displeased, and desired me to leave him. This day we were fad on boiled grass and the heads and tails of small fish, the bodies of which we had the satisfactisn of seeing the Malays appropriate to themselves. The same descrip tion of food continued ten days, with the exception of one duck, served so economically that it lasted our party, of eleven in number, four days, with a piece of tough buffalo. Amongst other things' he had 340 dollars of the chief mate's, which I demanded to defray our expenses, but he would not part with one of them. He now called constantly, pilfering on all occasions. Five days after our arrival I demanded our boat, when he told me if ever I mentioned her again he should be much annoyed, as he wanted her himself, and then ordered his people to send rue away from his presence. I called the following day, and he said in seven days more the prow would be ready, as they verb only detained to have cabins made for 'the ladies. He advised me to be patient, as I was not a Captain in Borneo, and that he always did as he pleased. Mr. Da Souza and I, he said, were good men, and he would give us our lives and liberty; but the officers (who had not offended him in any way) should have that, placing his hand in a threatening manner on his crease. Pangeron Eucof now arrived, who is next in rank to the Sultan, and a counsel was hell which consisted of the Sultan and four Rajahs. We were informed that its result was that we should be all sent to Singa pore in three prows, which the Pangerang would have r.iady to sail in firteen days. He gave some clothes and a buffalo calf, part of which the Sultan took with out ceremony. I requested a bed for Mrs. Page, and received a rug instead two months afterwards. We were now allowed one rupee per day in value, with. which, and our prospect of leaving, we became some what reconciled. The Sultan after this told me he was sorry to disturb us, but he must have our apart ment for a wedding to take place there, as we were to honour it in our' new clothes. This was the last we heard of either. The Lascars used to be harangued by him, and told that the Captain was a bad man,. ace. This I gave him to understand was quite out of the ques tion. I requested the Sultan to permit us to leave in a pri vete prow about to sail, but he said.we must go in his. and asked me which of the things we bad left in his charge I should require. I replied he might have them al', and our boat also, if he did not prevent us departing immediately ; but lie observed he must have his present as well, to show my heart was pure towards him, and I had better not attempt to write to Singapore, as God would assist in getting us there. I said we had lost everything in the ship, and could not give more than be already possessed of ours. The next day he offered me va onh l u te e i on . s ged not l tlol a t utr o she l ,e d t oaohnf fisdi some sweet ri ce , a n d sa id w h a t h e h ad ; o f ours was o f no m if onteghrt Singapore e aohor ede p r o m p ye selfrt y in w a s h i s w o p r o t s h s e s a s g o t n it ce h ; av to e w it hi a o n h d he ou re r p b li o ed at . t ion le b as e t . might he feared there was but little prospect of recovering the trinket-box for me, as th e M a l ays were very cun ning thies es, a'l excepting himself ; he was like an Englishman, as he had never uttered a falsehood, or stolen anything in his life. Mr. da Souza and I then accompanied him in canoe up the river, when he amused himself blowing a boatswain's cell he had forced from one of the tindals by threatening him with 5,000 lashes. It was attached to one of Mrs. Page's guard chains, which he wore round his neck, and was in the trinket box when taken. We repeatedly saw him afterwards with her rings on his fingers, taken from the same box. An old blind Rajah, his usual compani in, boasted of their having cut off an English vessel and killed her officers, without the British Government taking the least notice of it. The offi:ers' names w ere Dixon, Walker, Campbell, and Tate, and twenty two Europeans, who all died about the same time ! We were now ordered by the Sultan to leave our few remaining articles, and were conducted through a scorching sun over a pas sage of sticks, 70 yards in length, elevated on piles, 10 feet above the mud, most of them either rotten or broken, a difficult task for an active person. Mrs. Page had to go repeatedly on her hands and knees, which might have been obviated, had the scoundrel allowed me to procure a canoe. We found a wretched hut for our reception, with one side of it as a fire-place, without a door ; and when it rained we might as well have been in the open air. Four places of a similar description were on the same platform with us, occupied by the Sultan's slaves. Cu* few effects were taken to his house and examined by himself, when he stole several of t;:em. The allowance daily decreased, and we bad numbers of armed men and boys continually in our room, who examined our food, and committed the most disgusting acts. He TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1842. took the flannel shirt off my back himself, and a .nt for those of the officers. On the 26th of February we heard that Da Souza had settled with him to leave in a few days by promising a large sum of money. He now would not see us, and engaged men to strike me amongst the Lascars, and who were ordered not to supply . us with wood and water. I accidentally met him, when he said he had beard the boats would be ready in a few days, and we should all be sent to Singapore. He demanded what present I intended making him ? I again mentioned the jewel-box, &c. At this he was vexed,. and said I must consider that, and all we bad brought here, as burnt in the ship, and our lives would have been lost also if he bad not given them us. I offered him 500 dollars, being convinced he would not allow us to leave without some fresh inducement, at which he laughed in my face. Pangeran Eusof uow returned after an absence of 45 days instead of 15. We immediately called on him, but were received without civility. He said the Sultan. would do as he pleased, and the prows would lease the next moon for all that he knew. The Sultan now sent for Mrs. Page's wedding ring, observ ing that the English custom was the same as theirs, not to take it off the finger, but that was nothing to him ; he wanted it. It was sent him on the 'following day, when he told me he did not care whether I was angry • about_ the ring or not, and that he would make me an swerable for my wife's acts. Our means of procuring food were., now stopped altogether. I demanded what he intended doing with us. He replied, he had given us our lives, and wanted his present, but would not say how much. I offered 2,000 dollars for all, but he would not allow me to mention the Locers, and di. rected me to sign documents to the amount of 2,750 dollars for the officers and myself, and he would send to Singapore for the money. We mentioned to Pangeran Eusof we had no fond, when he laughe 1, but made no reply. I then told him if he would supply us with provisions and use his influence to procure us a passage we would make him a present of 1,000 dollars, at which he promised to speak iu our favour to the Sultan, and said if we would make him our friend that he did not want the 1,000 dollars ; all he wished was to assist poor men in distress, but we must promise to give all the money we sent for into his hands, and he would take care of us until one of our party returned from Singapore with is, and we had better send for ell the funds wo could raise, and he would pro : cure merchandise for them, and insure me a large profit. The following morning he requested me to write a list of upwards of 1,000 Spanish dollars' worth of articles, which he gave Mr. Gill instructions to bring as his pre sent,informing me that we must pay besides for all we had from him ; and on the 30th of March we took up our abode in an outbuilding close to his house. Mrs. Page was confined the night after, and all went well with her, notwithstanding her wretched situation. The Sultan now ordered us to make all the Rajahs presents, and, we were obliged to give notes to the amount of 2,500 dollars. The prows were to sail in four days,• but did not leave until the 23d of May, when they took Mr. Gilt, Miss and Mr. da Souz and three native servants, we being detained as hostages. Pangeran Eusol's brother, Pangeran Yacob, informed us the Sultan had sold us to Pangeran Eusof ; this we heard from all quarters. About this time a teak-built vessel of 30 tons or thereabouts arrived, jury rigged, which the Malays said the pirates had given them for 19 dollars. She had been a cutter and probably a Dutch trader or gun-boat. Pangeran Eusof allowed us sufficient to procure ,food, 1 I rupees per day, and was kind in sending Mrs. Page tea, &c., and sold us some cloth for a change of clothes. They now commenced building what they called forts ; several prows were con verted into gunboats, and their conversation was ge nerally about fighting white men. Oa the 29zh of July we saw our boat burnt for the iron work. On the sth of August an English schooner was reported to have anchored in the roads. All our Lascars were sent out of the way and closely guarded, and the entire force of Borneo went to the river's entrance, as we feared, to cur her off. On the 9 , 11 Pangerau Eusof returned and told us the schooner had come to trade, but on being questioned he admitted she had demanded us, but tie Sultan bad decided not to let us go until his prows and the money arrived from Singa pore, even if ten ships should be sent. Many of the Malays had told us that if their people were detained by the English Government they would murder every Eu ropean they could get bold of, and that the Sultan now regretted that he did not kill us in the first instance. Pangeran Eusof had expressed himself much pleased at the manner in which the Sultan had acted, and informed me the prows Mr. Gill went in were dismasted, and blockaded by pirates. He desired me to write to Singapore, and he would send the letter by one of his prows, to say that we were deter mined not to leave until a ship was sent for us, as we feared the pirates, and that the schooner, which now proved to be the Royalist, nobly sent by Mr. Brooke from Serasvak for us, was too small. I ad vised him to persuade the Sultan to let us depart in the prow, as we did not fear pirates, and he neght send a person with us to settle accounts, but I positively re fused to write, as the Singapore authorities would uow certainly know our situatioe. H e asked me if I had written to Mr. Gill f o r ships of war, but he observed, " I don't care whether you have or not, as it will be the worse for yourselves, as our forts arc now all ready, and we don't fear them. On the 25th, 18 of the crew who were in the cutter arrived from Maludu, which place they reached two days after we lost sight of them ; 9 of that pa•ty died from eating oysters and green mangoes on binding, and 19 are still new Maludu, which, with those who were in the long-boat, account for all that were on board the Sultana. They brought a report of an European lady being near there, whose husband, along with the officers of the ship, was killed by the Rejah 15 years since. She attempted to destroy herself at their death, but was preventAn by the Rajah, by whom she is said to have a family. She beg ge d t h e Lascars to inform the English of her wretched s it uat i on , but as they only saw her th e y l earne d no f urther parti culars. the 2d of Septemb er we h ear d that seven ej e bi pi , weea i n the 'made, and two steam-vessels " like mountains." All their force were dispatched to the forts, and I was told that it, was all my fault, and I had was killed it, wou ld b e b a d f or me . sent for them. Extra guard s were pl ace d over us, an d arrived f rom t h e H on. C ompany ' s s tOh te rle a y m tsbt iv eid es 3i s fd el aa D M i b a ao n laa a ty , with Pangeran Eusof, who ordered me immediately to go to the vessel, as the captain wanted to see me alone. I positively refused to le ive without the rest of our party, and after a good deal of palaver we started from Borneo, accompanied by Pan geran Eusof, and arrived on board the Diana two hours afterwards. We found her the only vessel, and that she had been sent by the Singapore authorities. She was at anchor within gun shot of their absurd and harmless forts, and to the gallant manner in which Captain Con gleton stood up the river I entirely attribute his success. We beard, to our very deep regret that the prow Messrs. Gill and the Da Souzas went in was not forth coming, although a gun-boat had been sent by the Singa pore authorities in search of her. Captain Congleton with much difficulty procured all the people who arrived in Borneo in the long-boar, and nine of those that came from Maludu, so there are now in Borneo nini3 of the Sultana's crew. Messrs. Zechariah and Co. have sent “ brig in search of the prow, and to their exertions we are particularly indebted. We have received the most generous kindness from Captain Congleton and all on board the Diana. FAMILIES OF LITERARY MEN. The Quarterly Review, in discussing an objection to the Copyright Bill of Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, which was taken by Sir Edward Sugden, gives some very curious particulars about the progeny of literary men. "We are not," says the writer, " going to speculate about the causes of the fact—but a fact it is—that men, distin guished for extraordinary intellectual power of any sort, very rarely leave more than a very brief line of progeny behind them. Men of genius have scarcely ever done so. Men of imaginative genius, we might say, almost never. With the one exception of the noble Surrey we cannot at this moment point out a re presentative-in the male line even so far down as in the third generation of any English poet, and we believe the case is the same in France. The blood of beings of that order can seldom be traced far down even in the female line. With the exceptions of Surrey and Spencer we are not aware of any great English author of at all remote date from whose body any living person claims to be descended. There is no other real English poet prior to the middle of the eighteenth century, and we believe no great author of any sort — except Clarendon and Shaftesbury—of whose. blood we have any inheritance amongst us. Chaucer's only son died childless. Shakspeare's line expired in his daughter's only daughter. None of the other drama tists of that age left any progeny—nor Raleigh, nor Bacon,. nor Cowley, nor Butler. The granddaughter of Milton was the last of his blood. Newton, Locke, Pope, Swift, Arbuthnot, Hume, Gibbon, Cowper, Gray, Walpole, Gavendish —and we might greatly extend the list—never married. Neither Bolingbroke, nor Addison, nor Warburton, nor Johnson, nor Burke, trans mitted their blood. M. Renouard's last argument against a perpetuity in literary property is that it would founding another noblesse., Neither jealous aris tocracy nor envious Jacobinism need be under much alarm. When a human race has produced its bright consummate flower' in this kind, it seems commonly to be near its end." Poor Goldsmith might have been mentioned in the above list. The theory is illustrated in our own day. The two greatest names in science and in literature, of our time, were Davy and Sir Walter Scott. ThE first died childless. Sir Walter left four children, of whom three are dead, only one of them (Mrs. Lockhart) leaving issue, and the fourth (his eldest son), though living, and long married,_ has no issue. These are cu rious facts. Mr. Babington, F.L.S., of St. John's College, Cambridge, is announced as a candidate for the chair of Botany at King's College, vacant by the death of the late Professor Don. Dr. Leman and Mr. Kippist are both announced as candidates for the situation of Librarian of the Linn can Society, also held by the former. The Paris Post-office has published a notice that the mail with the letters sent from Paris to St. Peters burgh on the 23d, 24th, and 25th of November, has been lost between Riga and the Russian capital, and that all efforts of the Russian Government to find it have hitherto been unsuccessful. THE WEATHER.---The weather during the past week has presented a succession of frosty and over cast, cloudy and fine, nights, with occasional small showers of broad snow flakes. A rain-guage at Hack ney, up to Sunday at noon, indicated but three-hun dredths of an inch occasioned by the melting snow. There was a prevalence of northerly winds, and the high est range of the barometer was 30.5 inches on Saturday, the average maximum for the week being 30.15, and the minimum 30 inches.

During the present year the lowest daily range of the thermometer was 28 deg. at two- elock on the Ist ; 28 deg. at four o'clock on 2d ; and 22 deg. at midnight, being the cold est point of the year ; 29 deg.• on the midnight of 3d ; 31 deg. at four o'clock on sth ; 24 deg. at four o'clock on 6th ; 28 deg. at fOur o'clock on 7th, and 28 deg. at four o'clock on Saturday. The average difference be tween the external temperature and that of the giraffe house, varies from 26 deg. to 30 deg., and of the mon key house 28 deg. It may be interesting to remark that within the corresponding present week and those of the last fifteen years, the highest temperature at the Horti cultural Gardens, at Chiswick, occurred on the 15th of January, 1834, when the thermometer was 56 deg., and the lowest on the 14th, in 1838, when the thermometer was 4 deg. Notwithstanding the continued frosts, the Regent's Canal remains open for navigation. ANECDOTE OF THE DUKE OF WELLING TON.—When his Grace the Duke of Wellington, who is known to be a very early riser, was last at Windsor Castle, upon a visit to her Majesty, the following inci dent occurred, affording another proof of the strict mili tary discipline so closely observed and practised upon all occasions by' his Grace. - One morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the Duke, accompanied by his youngest son, Lord Charles Wellesley (who was then in waiting as one of the equerries upon her Majesty), walked from the Castle into the' quadrangle, which he was about to leave by the iron gate near the entrance to the state apartments to proceed on to the North Terrace. The Duke and his son, however, were stopped by the : sentry (one of the 72d Highlanders) stationed at this spot, • who stated that, his instructions were not to suffer any person to pass from out of the quadrangle at that early hour in the morning. Lord Charles Wellefley imme diately stepped -up to the soldier on guard, and said, " You surely can't know who this is—it it the Duke of Wellington, my father.' His Grace instantly responded, " Pooh, pooh, nonsense ; let the sentry perform his duty;",and returned to the Castle until the hour ar rived at which the sentry could suffer them' to pass out through the gate in question. Invitations have been forwarded to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., the Duke of Wellington, and the chief members of the Government, to witness th e in. teresting ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the Royal Exchange, on Monday next, by his Royal High ness Prince Albert.
