JOHN WILSON, Secretary. London, February 1, 1842. 0' „ PLUGGING” AND Till NEW GOLD COMAGE. The present system of " plugging," as it is technically term ed by Minters, which, by the illegal insertion of pieces of en • itatutable metal into the gold coin of the realm, afterwartls lexterously covered over with thin " leaf-gold, renders the coin light and falsified, has been of late carried to such extent, mere especially in some of our manufacturing, •owns, that Government have considered it incumbent upon them, before long, to call in all the gold in circulation, for the eui pose of a general recoinage, Upon the character of thi s offence, as regarded by th e statute' of the land, and the coin ages which have occurred at tette& peelods of our history, we therefore advance the fellOtting comments, arising out of re search:— PeueelNti : ITS MEANING.-_The word by which this prac tice is designated, takes its rise item the Ordinary signification of the common word " plug," a derivative from the Dutch plugghe, or Danish /eke, Which meant steppage tip ofd hole or orifice. Thisritithotit further etplanitinn, Will be perceived to determine precisely the natant Of the Offence in question, as'exe plained above.. OFFENCES eitakerseo TO THE is not our inter: lion, categorically, to sum up under this head all the deb - Intents.' processes which have illegitimately been practised on the gold coin of the land, whether the offence has been felonial or tre sonable, but succinctly tti notice such Act as refers to the pre vent system #f tt ph i:ging "in practice —a system which, though epeoifled under no especial word of that character, nevertheless, from the width of the terms, is easily found to be comprehended in the following-el iliteen Elizabeth with the due punishment attached td its petpetratien, and passed in the 18th year of her Majesty's reign. The Act, referring to false moneyers for a variety of mone tary misdemeanors, 18 Elizabeth, e. 1, includes the offence of plugging" under the generic, term of " impair;n g , di m i v ish ing, f a l s if y i ng , and lightletiinst," end the party offending is en acted to be attached of the crime of high treason. The bad peattiees of the moneyers ad accumulated to such a elegtest in Our history, so early as the twenty .sixth year of Henry IL, that it was then found necessary to place a per manent superintending authority in the Mint to check the growing evil, and the fabrication of money was then fixed at a standard purity, And an assay-master appointed fur its protec tion and preservation. REWARDs Fort ArFREHENSION OF OFFENDERS.— fts the perpetrators of the present system of " plugging" aro doubt less many, and the bringing such to light and punishment a desirable service, it may be as tell to make public to those who will give due notice of any such offeriders, that the re ward for apprehendilig and dereeieting any person so offending against the etatutet relating to gold and silver is 401., in order to obtain *bieh, the Judge shall give a certificate of the con viction, and the Sheriff, on its being tendered, thall pay the same without fee, within one month after tender and demand, Oct pain of forfeiting to the party ; &Whit the sum with treble costs, and the Sheitiffshall be repaid out of the Treasury. FIRST Mtn COINAGE.—The first gold coins of which we have any notice, were struck in the year 1257, by order of Henry M. They were of pure gold, weighing two-pence, or sterlings, of silver, and were to pass for twenty pence. This "gold pennie,"as It wits called, *at nearly the weight of a seven shilling piece, and it is said that " the King tried this expe dient of dititii t ig g o ld th roug h necessity," and also that " the City of London made a representation against the measure." RECOINAGE OF KING WILLIAM'S R eto re—This re-coin age, which amounted to the sum of 7,000,000/. sterling, was executed at the Mint of the. Tower of London, as also at several eimatry Mints, by way of co-operation, in the 7th year of William 111. An Act was then made for calling in all the old coin of the kingdom, and to melt it down and to re -coin it; the deficiencies whereof were to be made good at the public charge; and in every pound coined forty pound was to be shillings, and ten pound sixpences, under certain peaalties. Persons bringing plate to the Mint to be coined were to have the same weight of money delivered out, as an encouragement ; and receivers-general of taxes, &c.. were to receive money at a large rate per ounce. Our guineas have been raised and fallen as money has been scarce and plenty, several times by statute; and ann. 3 Geo. I. guineas were valued at twenty one shillings,at which they have ever since continued to pass. Tire COINAGE DUTY.--On this last occasion also, a duty of ten shilings per ton was imposed on wine, beer, and brandy im ported. called the coinage duty, granted for the expense of the King's coinage, but not to exceed 3,000/. per annum, 18 Car. 11. cap. S. This duty for coinage has heed continued and advanced from time to time by divers statutes, and by e 7 Geo. 11. c. 11 (explained by 27 Geo. 111. c. 13), the Treasure was ordered to apply 15.000/. a-year to the expenses of the Mint in England and Scotland. SILVER-FOTS OF THE COINAGIL—It is worthy of remark, that it is on record in the books of the Mint, that in the re coinage of King William 111. the pots of silver weighed 400 pounds Troy and upwards ; but every trace as to how this (pi ;rarity of silver was melted is completely lost, and it is only conjectured that it was done in pots made of wrought iron. But not a vestige V a melting furnace, fitted fur such a pur pose, is to be found in the Tower, nor a single record of the method practised. Re COINAGE OF Goer) IN 1774.—1 n the year 1774 and subsegnent years, We had a general re-coinage of our geld cure rency, which forms a prominent feature in Mint history. The avowed object of this re-coinage was a reformation of the im mense quantity of light and defective coins then in circulation; and the motive for doing as was to prevent the new and heavy coins from being selected from the circulation, and melted for the high price which the gold - brought in the state of bullion. In fact, 41. of the gold coin then in circulation would not weigh more than an ounce ; and by reference to the prices paid by the Bank for gold, we find that this was the market price. 'The holders of Bank notes demanding sew and heavy coins for them, required the bank to have a large coinage of gold annually to supply this demand. These coins were melted, and sold in the state of bullion to the hank for the high price of 4/. per ounce. To remedy this inconvenience, the recoinsge was compleled, and it had the effect desired ; for the mice of gold, during more than twenty years, never ex ceeded, but was rather under the Mint price. The sovereign, or twenty-shilling piece, contains 1113.001 grains fine gold, and 12.3'274 grains standard gold. The pound Troy of standard gold is coined into 46 sovereigns and 89-129th of a sovereign, or into 461. 14,. 6d. The Mint or standard price of gold is, therefore, said to be 461. 14s. 6d. per lb. Troy, or 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce. With regard to the denomination or value to be fixed on the coin which is to pass current. this, says Spelman, is lodged in the breast of the King•; and if any unusual pieces are coined, their value must be ascertained by proclamation ; but even the King's prerogative seems not to extend to the debasing or iiihancing the value of the coin, below or above the sterling value. '2d Inst. 577 :—Though Sir Matthew Hale, 1 Hal. P. C., 194, appears tiba of another opinion. The King, how ever, has the power, at any time, to cry down any coin of the kingdom, and make it no longer current. 1 Hal., P.C. 197. spoken of. The last Committee to take into consideration the state of the coins of the kingdom, and to propose what improve ments should be thought fitting and necessary, was, in the year 1798, when Lord Liverpool sat a t t h e h ead of the Committee, and who, in 1835, published his celebrated " Treatise on the CAns of the Realm, in a Letter to the King," considered the most learned and interesting disquisition on monetary regula tions which we possess. Among the new principles endeavoured to be established by it were :-1. That the coins, which are the principal measure of property, should be composed of one metal only—that this metal should he gold—and that the ex penses of fabrication (i. e., the Mint expenses) should be taken out of the silver and copper coins. The forgery, detraction, or debasement of coin, is an offence that is practised more or less at all periods. But to use the words of Mr. .11‘Culloch, the most effectual means of prevent ing these nefarious practices is to improve the fabric of the genuine coins, to cut the dyes with greater delicacy, and occa sionally to vary the form of the coins." That authority fur thee adds, in corroboratiou of this remark, that " during the lengthened period of from 1770 to 1816, the genuine silver coins in circulation were so much worn and defaced, that it was difficult to distinguish between them and counterfeits ; which, in despite of the severest penalties, were thrown:into circulation in immense quantities. But since the issue of the new coins in 1816, forgery and debasement have been comparatively rare, and the improvement of the coins has done more to prevent the issue of counterfeits, than could have bean done by a dozen Acts of Parliament."

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. THE ESTATES OF PRINCE ESTERHAZ Y. Esterhazy is the principal seat of the Prince. The whole establishment is truly regal, and the Palace colossal in its proportions ; while Forchenstein is the very beau ideal of a feudal fortress, the very embodi ment of romantic dreams. In this Castle the ar moury would suffice to equip three or four regi ments without any additional outlay, while the men at-arms could as easily be found as the weapons. Prince Esterhazy is the only individual in the nation who has the pis gladii, the power of life and death, though the present possessor of that title has never exercised that privilege. THE SCIIATz-KAIKNER, OR TREAgURE HOUSE. —The great lion of Forchenstein is the Schatz-Kam ner. This vaulted gallery contains the immense family treasures ' of which the costly diamonds worn inEngland by the Princes, form apart. The long gallery is lined on either hand by glass-cases, and within these are heaped gold and silver plates, jewelled vessels of every form and material ; rich stuffs, embroidered with pearls and gems, masses of opals, amethysts, and topaz; weapons, armour, and horse-gear, literally blazing with precious stones, and, in short, every variety of treasure which the imagination of man could collect. The collection of jewelled weapons, shields, and war-trappings, is also amazing.' There is to be handled the ruby-hilted sword wielded by the unfortunate Louis at `lllohais, the pocket-knife of the Emperor Sigismund, the cele brated pearl bridal vest of the Palatine Paul Esterhazy, upop whose ground of rose-coloured damask is wrought a pattern of seed pearls, the centre of every flower being formed by long links of the precious beads, which hang loose, - and are strung so closely as almost to conceal the material of the garment; the richly studded saddle-cloth of the Vizier Mustapha, made .captive by an Esterhazy on a hard-fought field ; the coral rosary of Stephen Ba- thon ; the gold brocaded vest of ,Mathias Corvinus, and that of. John Sobiesky ; also ' a rich brocade, a beautiful specimen of the needlework of the seven teenth century. T HE CONSERVATORIES AT EISENSTADT.---The lordly domains of Esterhazy and Eisenstadt, and the fortress also of Forchenstein, are all situated near the frontier, and are the most magnificent of the Prince's possessions. At Eisenstadt the conservato ries are truly splendid. You may walk from one serre to another, amid an acre of flowers of every clime and colour ; the varieties of camelias are to be counted by scores, and roses and geraniums by hundreds. Oranges and lemons, with their bud, blossom, and fruit, form a mimic forest. Above these the palms tower in Oriental pride, and the violet and Cape jessamine carpet many a spot besMe the marble foun tains. The heaths and ferns are one mass of varie gated beauty. These conservatories are under the care of Mr. Fetish. The pleasure-grounds amount to about 100 English acres, kept in the most exqui site order. • PRINCE ESTERHAZY'S REVENUE.—Much curi osity exists in England with regard to the actual amount of revenue of the Prince Esterhazy. The Prince possesses, in addition to his three palaces at Vienna, and his domain in Bohemia, one-thirteenth part of the whole kingdom of Hungary. He has thirty-six estates, each containing from ten to twenty-four vil lages, which, together with an hundred square miles of forests, make collectively near 1,200 square miles, and Hungary, covering a surface of 17,000, proves the pbsition. Nor is this gigantic and overwhelming landed property his only source of revenue. The number of his peasants or subjects, amounting to 360,000, with all their habitations l a con stant capital of 220,000 sheep, producing nearly 4,000 cwt. of wool, of superior quality, remaining to be superadded ; and. yet, nevertheless, this colossal heritage, exceeding in extent the Grand Duchy of Modena, as well as several of the petty German States, does not carry his revenue higher than 150,0001., thus making the annual proceeds of the land, average Only sixpence an acre. DEBT OF THE ESTERIIAZY FAMILY.--The debt of the Esterhazies is calculated to amount to two millions sterling. Supposing this to stand at only three per cent. interest, that would be sixty thousand pounds a year to deduct, so that this enormous territorial mountain produces ultimately . no more of annual worth to its owner than 90,0001. a year, far inferior to the income of many of our nobil ity and commonalty. The present Prince, if not pay ing off, is said not to be adding to this enormous debt, and is generally believed to live on his allowance as ambassador. There are, in truth, in Hungary, twenty magnates who are not in fact bankrupts. Ba ron Sina, the great Greek banker, is the King of Com mercial Hungary, every magnate being his debtor. It is reported that the possessions of the Esterhazy fa mily had increasedto so gigantic an amount, that they excited the jealousy of the reigning dynasty, and it is affirmed that the Austrian Government were by no means displeased when the father of the present Prince, by expending yearly millions in foreign countries, ex hausted in no mean degree both his funds and his' power. On Saturday afternoon, about a quarter . past four o'clock, a serious accident took place in the extensive iron-foundry carried on by:Messrs. Rennie and Co., in Holland-street, Blackfriars-bridge. It appears that se veral workmen were engaged during the afternoon in the arduous task of casting an immense diving bell, the mould for which had been completed some hours pre vious. The cauldron. which is of very large size, and suspended over the furnace by means of a powerful crane, contained on this occasion more than six tons of metal, and while in the act of being slung to 'the re quired spot, through some ilerangement of the ma chinery, the ponderous vessel overbalanced, and dis charged the burning liquid in every direction among the labourers employed, setting fire at the same time to the massive beams and rafters of the build ing. The utmost alarm was occasioned by the accident; and every assistance was rendered to the unfortunate sufferers—six in number—who were conveyed in coaches to Guy's Hospital in a state of great suffering. The floating engine from Southwark bridge was towed to the spot, and several of the brigade establishment soon fol lowed ; but the workmen on the premises so -successfully exerted themselves with the fire-engine attached to the foundry, that their services were scarcely required, and before five o'clock all danger of the fire extending was at an end.— 'ENING of The EDINBURGH and GLAS GOW RAILWAY.—The Public are respectfully in fornied that this RAILWAY will b 3 OPENED for passen ger trallie on MONDAY, the gist of February current.

Curtis and Harvey, gunpowder manufacturers, situated on Hounslow Heath, exploded on Saturday forenoon, and occasioned the loss of two lives and the infliction of serious injuries on three other persons. The explosion took place a few minutes after ten o'clock, and the tremendous report caused thereby was heard for many miles round the neighbourhood, and occasioned the greatest con sternation and alarm, particularly at Hounslow, Twickenham, and tke adjacent villages, the inhabitants of which rdshed from their houses, fearing it was an earthquake. Immediately on the cum of the report being ascertained, hundreds of persons hastened to the spot, anxious to learn the extent of damage, when it was found that one only of the mills had exploded, and that the remaining portion of the extensive premises had escaped uninjured. The mill in question, which was called a corning mill, was situated en the banks of the rirer Colne, and, as are all the erections forming the works, was a detached building. Two men were employed in it, of the name, of Henry Finch and William Woolman, whose custom it; was to commence at seven o'clock in the morning, having first had their breakfast, and work until eleven o'clock, when they broke off for dinner. Saturday morning they went to their work at their usual time, at which period the mill con tained about a dozen bsrrels of dry powder, each barrel consist ing of 1001bs., making a total of about 1,2001b5. weight. Of the cause of the accident nothing positive can ever be known, neither of the unfo' tunate men surviving to tell the tale, and the building itself is levelled with the ground. Three other men, named Alfred Malthouse, William Calvin, and Peter Thomas, employed on other parts of the works, who were acci dentally in the close vicinage of the mill, hare sustained most serious injuries from the effects of the explosion. Mr. Frogley, surgeon, of Hounslow, was most prompt in attendance, with Mr. Sannemann, his assistant, and immediately attended to the unfortunate sufferers, two of whom (Thomas and Calvin) were subsequently conveyed to their own residences, where they are lying in a most precarious state. Malthoute, however, was more seriously injured, so that it was found impossible to remove him from the premises, and when our reporter left very little hopes of his living through the night were entertained. The bodies of Finch add Woolman were found at a short d:stanee from the mill in a frightfully disfigured and mutilated condi tion, and were removed to one of the sheds to await the coro ner's inquest, which, it is understood, will be held on Tuesday next. Both men have left widows and families. The explosion wiil not, we understand, occasion any stoppage to the works. lat I 2d I 3d Class. Class. Class. Carriages, Ms Horses, 15s. 8s 6s. 4i.

Ro berts, Esq. ; Humphrey Willyams, Esq. ; Charles Sawle, Esq.; G. C. Fox, Esq: • Michael and William Williams , Esqrs. ; Cohn Scobell, the Rev. Mr. Hocken, J. A. Home, Esq. ; Richard Taylor, Esq. ; Stephen Davy, Esq., &e. &c. The Chair was taken at. ten o'clock by the High Sheriff (J. 11. Gaut, Esq., of Beckham), who addressed the electors as follows: Gentlemen—One of the last duties of my Shrievalty has been to convene you this day for the purpose of your exercising one of the most valuable privileges of Englishmen—namely, to elect " one fit and discreet Knight" to represent the Western Division of this County, in the place of Loral Boscawen Rose, now become Earl of Falmouth and a Peer of the Realm by the death of his Noble father, to whose memory, at a recent aggregate meeting of the County, I was glad to have the opportunity of offering the tribute of my respect for the many great and excellent qualities he ex,r cited in your service, during his comparatively brief career. The Shrievalty is but of a year's duration ; yet, throughout that period, I am proud to say, I have not only not seen any rea • son to change the opinion formed by me when I first came into contact with the constituency of this county—but, that a more intimate knowledge of your many valuable qualities has abun dantly confirmed it—(Cheers)--and that I have the most entire reliance in your discrimination and intelligence, leading you this day to elect and send to the Commonillouse, a represen tative who, by his superior attainments, high character, and perfect knowledge of your interests, will reflect honour on your choice.—( Loud cheers. ) The Under-Sheriff (P. M. Little, EST ), having gone through the preliminaries, T. A. Robarts, Esq. , in a luminous address, proposed Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., as a candidate to represent the Western Division of Cornwall in _Parliament, which was ably seconded by Humphrey Willyains, Esq. No other candidate being proposed, the High Sheriff declared Sir Charles Lemon, Bart., to be duly elected, which announce ment was received with enthusiastic cheers. A vote of thanks was then voted to the High Sheriff, by G. C. Fox, Esq., seconded by Chas. Sawle, Esq., and carried by acclamation. The High Sheriff acknowledged the compliment as follows : —Gentlemen—But one principle has actuated me through out my Shrievalty, that of " doing justly." It is therefore that I am proud to receive this gratifying teatimony of your appro bation.—( Cheers.) If any one thing has afforded me more heartfelt pleasure than another during the period of my having been in office, with the exception of the birth of our Royal Duke, it is, that whereas I found both divisions of the county in a state of great excitement at the last general election, in the single elections which have recently taken place in each division, they have respectively terminated without. a centest— a noble homage, equally to the high character and truly esti mable qualities of the Noble Lord who has the honour to re present the Eastern Division, as of the worthy Baronet, whom, by your suffrages, you have this day chosen to become your representative.—(Cheers.) It now becomes my pleasing duty to return my sincere thanks for the courtesy and gcod feeling with which you have invariably received your Sheriff, and to offer you my best wishes for the happiness and prosperity of every individual in this loyal and faithful county. Three cheers being given for the Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall, and the High Sheriff, the meeting dispersed. Lieut. John Cheere has been directed to take charge of the regulating establishment at Bristol for raising Seamen for the Navy. DISTRESS IN THE METROPOLIS. On Friday last, Sir Benjamin Hall presented a petition to the House of Commons praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws from the Auditors of the Accounts of the parish of St. Mary lebone, in which the petitioners state, " That, in 1831, the Ga. retie average price of wheat was 665. 4d. In that year the aver age number of paupers depending on the parish was 7,913, with a population of 122 206, thereby showing, that more than one in fifteen was depending upon the parochial rates for support. In 1835, the price of wheat fell to 395. 4d., and the number of paupers was reduced ty 3,4458, the population being at that t ime 129,102, being less than one in thirty-seven receiving pa • rochial relief. In 1841, the price of wheat again rose to 645. 4d., and the number of paupers advar ced with it to 5,679, being at that time one in twenty-four, the population being 139,454." 'l•he average number of persons returned weekly, from the Ist January, 1842, to the 17th February, 1842, has been— In the workhouse .... 1,939 Outdoor poor CORONER'S INQUEST. An inquest was held at the sign of the Swan, Kingsland road, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, on view of the body of Mr. John Henry Watson, ti remarkably fine young man, a sur gt on, who committed suicide under the following extraordinary circumstances. Total Thereby showing, that, at the present time, one in sixteen of the population of the wealthiest parish in the metropolis of Great Britain is dependent on the parochial rates for the com mon necessaries of life. The first witness called was Mr. George Henry Gould, a surgeon, residing at No. 19, Kingsland-crescent, who stated that between the hours of one and two o'clock on Thursday morning last he was called on to attend the deceased, whom he found in the kitchen of the house No. 21, Kingsland-road. The deceased, on his making his appearance, said he had taken three ounces of laudanum, but did not state what was the cause of his doing so. He, witness, from his appearance, having much doubt whether his statement was correct, ordered him to go home, and he accordingly walked home. The smell from his breath did not indicate that he had taken laudanum, and this was in a great measure the cause of witness's suspecting that he had not taken opium. CORONER—If he had taken prussic acid would not the smell have been somewhat the same as laudanum ? Witness : It might, but it would have a much more powerful effect, as the deceassd did not even appear drowsy, though he had pointed to the bottle from which he had taken the poison. On his way home from the house of Mr. Webster to that of his brother, a short- distance off, the deceased appeared perfectly rational, and on reaching his brother's he (witness) used the stomach pump, but could not perceive anything of a delete rious kind, though it might have partook of some spirituous liquor. On Friday morning he (witness) called agreeable to the wish of the coroner. He called to make a post mortem ex amination of the body, but he then ascertained that the:bro ther of the deceased had called in another surgeon to assist him in the post mortem examination, which was done without him. The Coroner and jury expressed their surprise that the post No. 21, Kingsland-crercent, and mortem examination should not have been performed by the witness, but by a second party.

THE NEW SCALE. A Parliamentary friend well acquainted with foreign trade BRUSSELS, FEB. 17.—The average price of wheat last week was 211. 59c., and that of Bye 121'. 52c. VIENNA, FEB. 9.—The winter is becoming more severe every day : the mercury in Reaumier's thermometer is at 12 deg., or 13 deg. below zero (freezing), morning and even. ing. The accounts from Hungary, Transylvania, Wallachia, and Servia, complain of the interso cold, and the vast masses of snow, by which the roads are rendered nearly impassable. In Wallachia, Transylvania, and some parts of Hungary, droves of wolves add to the horror of the season. The last mail but one from Bucharest was attacked on the road by these beasts, compelled by famine to leave their retreats. We learn by the last mail that the post-carriage was found on the road, without driver or horses, but with the letters and goods untouched : of two men and the horses, little more was found than the bones scattered about the carriage. The best part of Peel's plan is that which governs the im port of Oats, Barley, and the inferior sorts of grain. They will undoubtedly come in upon much better terms than at pre sent. I think very ill of the plan relating to Wheat, whien, with the new averages, will always be liable to as oppressive a duty as it could possildy pay. It is almost a monopoly to the landlords, and will quite cut off American supplies. " The Irish Tories (the greatest jobbers we have) are alarmed about the duty on Oats being so low, but they must submit. Last year they threw out a Bill brought in by Mr. Labouchere to admit foreign flour into Ireland, but this yeas they submit without a murmur because Peel is the propiser. " The accounts are very bad from Americs. You will have a :wry bad trade with that country ; but, take their corn and flour, and you will have a very good one." — Leeds Mercury.

HAMBU RCM, FEB. ls.—After an interruption of the navi gation by the ice, since the 2d of January, the last ships left this port, soon after which the Elbe was frozen over. The first three ships arrived here yesterday afternoon, viz., Sir Edward Banks steamer, from London ; the Zamillie, from Messina; and the Pomona, Captain Buiricksen, from St. Mi chael's ; the first direct from the Leewards, the two last from Cu xhavvn. The Gazette du Midi announces the arrival in France of a Senator of the Venezuelan Republic, who has come fro:n Bordeaux to Marseilles, with a commission to eng ige in France and Spain thirty missionaries, preferring SpanisliCai.uchin friars. if they can be obtained, for re-establishing the ancient missions of the Caronis, Rio Negro, aad other districts, and also 100 priests, for performing service in the parishes of the three divisions of Ca racas, Guyana, and Merida. His commission further extends to the engagement of thirty journeymen carpenters, smiths, masons, potters, lime-burners, and weavers for the missions.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 18.—The Second Chamber of the States-General received yesterday a Royal Message, with an important project of law on the Notarial-office. Some interesting details, relative to the excavations which are going on in the kingdom of Naples, with a view to the dis covery of antiquities, have just been communicated to the Academie des Beaux-Arts, by M. Raoul Rochette, the perpetual secretary. The year 1841 has been remarkable for the discovery, in various parts of the kingdom, of medals, the greater part Greek. Amongst them is an entire collection ofgold medals of the Thai ; they are of a small form, and hitherto only a single medal of this kind had been found. As to the excavations which are still going on at Pompeii, they have not been very productive of interesting results for the last two years; probably because the locality is unfavourable; but important discoveries are expected from the clearing out of ruins of the Amphitheatre of Puzzoli, which has been or dered by the King. The work on this point is going with the greatest activity, under the orders of the Minister St. Angelo. From the portion of the ruins already cleared, it is to be presuired that the remains of one of the most important monuments of architecture in Italy will come to light, and'that the Royal Mu seum of Naples will he enriched by some fine fragments of antiquity. FASCINATION.--Such is the irresistible title of Mrs. . Gore's newly-edited work. " Fascination !"—a book appertaining to the most fascinating species of existing literature—and the sub ject is as full of fascination as the name. It is the history of a sort of D'Orsay of a hundred years ago —a modern Alcibiades— beautiful. generous, eloquent, and honourable--but unhappily not able to fascinate Dame Fortnne as he does all other dames and their dependents, from the shrewish wife of the little taltos of the Rue St. Honors, upwards. The tale is told with infinite liveli. ness, spirit, and truth of painting, and will no doubt attract unusual attention among the class of readers to which this species of com position chid)! appeals. ROMAN REMAINS AT ETRETAT (SEINE ItereatEuax.)-L.The ;labbe Cochet made some researches seven 'ears ago among some Roman ruins discovered at Etretat, :near Havre, but was at length forced to suspend them. Having, however, received a • small grant of money from Government, he has lately resumed his labours, and succeeded in clearing a wall, evidently part of an ancient villa. It is about thirty yards in length, formed of small squared stone, faced with flint. At the end towards the sea, is a small cell below the building, the floor and walls of which are composed of stone, carefully ce mented. In the wall are the traces of stone pipes, intended to bring down water into the cell from the upper parts of the building. Immediately above, and in advance of this basin, which appears to have been used for washing, was a spacious apartment, paved in compartments. The di mensions of the ruins are about 24 feet at their greatest breadth, and the walls rise from 3to 6 feet. The lower part was demolished in the earliest ages of Christianity, and the materials used for building the old chapel of St. Valery, one wall of which is s till standing. The only remains of art, e hithe r to discovered are a small child's sarcophagus, in good otihegrUepy stone, Upper ne, and numerous Empire, v e much de fa':es a t , v aboven' w pin, coinso a n u r frag ments of coloured coatings of walls, some tile s , an d i rr d esecn t 'lass. At a short distance were found seve ra l s k e l e t ons, w i t h the heads laid indifferently as to the points of the compass, rt n o f showing that the bodies were interred in the times of Paganism.

MYSTERIOUS ALLIANCE.—The Independant of Brus sels states that great surprise has been excited at Liege by the re cent marriage in that town of a young flower.girl, well known by the visitors of Spa, to a young gentleman of distinction, believed to be from Germany, but educated in France, whose name has been kept profourdly secret. The match, it says, seems to have been formed by a gentleman older than himself, who was with him as a kind of tutor or companion during the last season at Pau. The young man is quite indifferent to his wife ; and the rumour goes, says the Independent, that he is the illegitimate son of sone great personage, who wishes to fix him at a distance from his family. A person, apparently the guardian of the young gentleman, with his companion before mentioned, were present, says this journal, at the marriage, and after it was solemnised they took their leave, saying to him, " Our task is now accomplished, and we are going back to Germany. Do what you like, and endeavour to spend in a suit able manner the pension which you shall receive punctually," The young man, it adds, has set out for France with his wife.

Christianity, Sir, triumphed over Paganism without A Sabbath. Worship before and between the hours of business kept alive the flame which ultimately annihilak'd the idols of Europe. But no sooner did the church be gin to judaize in its priests, its titles, its Sabbaths, its ceremonies, than the living spirit vanished, and for mality tyrannised for centuries. The spirit of Ju daism was a negative, a prohibitory spirit. " Thou shalt not," is its characteristic preceptive formula. Christianity is all pos iti v e, all life. Love, the most active of all principles, is its one command ; corre. spondently with this—" Do notl2ing—abstain for from the your ordinary employments," is the epmmand Sabbath. Not a single command, to meditate even, or warship, is to be found in all the Old fgst . ament through. An additional sacri fice in the Tempe was all. Good men, no doubt, used its hours for deyotito, and many would i'4l.st with their friends-:---in which our Lord joined ; but the only command was, " do Ito work.

I am ashamed to have occupied so much of your space, and to ask for more another week, to illustrate the injury done both to the godly and ungodly, and • the benefits which might result to both, by rejecting custom for truth, and Judaism for Christianity.

It will be seen tbat Mr. Emerson Tennent has carried his motion for the re-appointment of the " Copyright Designs' Committee," whose interesting and useful in vestigation of the Petition of the Odic° Printers, for the extension of Copyright, was last year frustrated by. the dissolution of Parliament and its abridged proceedings. The facts of the grievance of the calico printers may be substantially divided into two heads, viz.: the patterns of the calico-printers are plundered, rafter a great outlay of capital, just at the time they ought to re neinerate the proprietor ; and, secondly, that they at:o got up by the pirates in a cheaper and deteriorated form, to the injury of national taste and the detriment of the public purchaser. A free trade opposition has been united against this claim, on the same principle as against the better pro tected and more extended copyright of books, just pro posed by Mr. Godson, and is liable to the same ob jections. Among the cogent arguments, adduced by numerous respectable witnesses, in favour of extended protection to calico printers, it was stated, that we are greatly inferior to French artists in design, in con sequence of our comparative deficiency, and that our foreign trade is proportionately restricted. Mr. Ten nent's measure contemplates, we believe, nine months' protection, in conformity with the view expressed by ;Sir Robert Peel last year in Committee. . The opponents of protection examined before the Com mittee, among whom were several who had largely profited, on their own admission, by this kiwi of in vasion of property, and justified, on the plea of being within the law, and, therefore, as not a breach of the law, rested their chief repugnance to the extension of protection to copyright on the very ground of monopoly, This it natural to all plunderers, including plunderers of author's copyrights, to protest against monopoly, in other words, against all exclusive property. France fernishea a sufficient answer to the charge that pro tection creates monopoly. We have the proof that it breeds emulation ; and promotes competition, by which eventually cost is decreased, and consumption encouraged. In no other country is the same protection afforded, and nowhere else do those arts flourish, or are they culti vated to an equal extent. Nowhere else are their pro fesSors equally respected and respectable, and , therefore, nowhere else is ambition stimulated to excellence as a means of elevation in the social scale. ,There is an absurd prejudice that the artistical desig ners Os" France have more taste than the English. This is a fitja?y• Give pattern copyright protection, as in France; g,, re the English artist pattern-drawers similar encourase+ men t, and they need not be afraid of French competition. —British Queen. Th e _lmperial Academy of St. Petersburgh has just been joiner, by order of the Emperor, to the Academy of Sciences of mitt capital, tts a special section of Rus sian language and literature. The Brussels Observateur says that reports are cur rent in the Belgium capital of its ,being the intention of the Government to make before long come changes in the diplomatic body, and to place at the head of " one of the most important legations" the DuILP d'Ursel, or, according to some, the Prince de Ligne, pr else the Prince de Chimay.—The Gazette de France sa;rs that the legation is that of Paris. A few days .ago, some robbers got into the Cho f ea,,12 of Mme. de 13agneris, at Vidou, near Tarbes, which was under the chrrge at the time of a servant.girl. The thieves seized, blinded, and bound her on a bed, covering her with the clothes, but doing her no injury. They left her thus, and went to •earch the house for valuables. While they were thus engaged, the girl contrived to loosen her bonds, and make her escape to the Mayor, who hastened to the chateau with a sufficient force. The invaders, however, had decamped is Oh no small booty. The police, two or three slays afterwards, arrested a Spaniard at Tarbes, on whom they found a pistol, a powder-flask, and some other articles belong. ing to the Chateau de Vidou, and it is supposed that this will lead to the arrest of the other parties. AND HE DIED.-11 is reported of one, that, hearing the fifth chapter of Genesis read, ro long lives, and yet the burden still, they died—Seth lived nine hundred and twelve years, and he died ; Enos lived nine hundred and five years, and he died; Methuselah, nine hundred and sixty.nine years, and he died—he took so deeply the thought of death and eternity, that it changed his whole frame, and turned him from a TEAK)• tuous, to a most strict and pious course of life. How small a word will do much, when God sets it into the heart! But surely this one thing would make the soul calm and sober in the pursuit of present things if it were truly computed and considered. How soon shall youth and health, tied carnal delights, be at an end! The Commission appointed by the Municipal Conn- . cil of Paris for examining the questions as to the regulation of the butcher trade, having heard the representations of the feeders, butchers, and different agents of the administration, has proposed. an ordonnance to the following effect:—" No butcher shall have more than one shop or stall. There shall be one butcher for every 2,200 inhabitants. All shops and stalls exceeding this number shall be re-purchased by the syMicate. A shop or stall may be sold by a butcher to one of his relations In case of death, the widow or children may succeed. Every butcher must mak e a deposit of cau. tion-money. The members of the syndic/fie are to be elected by a majority of the votes of the butchers. Every shop or stall which shall remain three days without a supply of meat, shall be closed for six months. No sales or purchases shall be made, except in markets duly licensed fur this species of provisions. The trade called a lacheville (carcase-butchers), in which rich butchers kill cattle and Sell the meat to others of t he trade, is suppressed after the tolerance of (Our years. Country dealers , as we l l as he butchers of Paris, are authorised to iell meat in the markets." The amount of the sales in the Poultry-mallet of the Quai des AUgnstins, during the last year, exceeded thoae of 1840 by nearly 2,000,000 f. HOPKINS AND IMEWITT'S BANKRUPTCY. ---d A ituNDEt. BANK.—At a meeting held under this fiat, at the Nor folk Arms, c, Monday, the 14th intent, the solicitor to the assignees laid before the Commissioners, for their decision, several cases in which two or more persons, jointly indebted to the estate, claimed to set off notes and cash balances (their separate pioperty) against the joint debts, and vice versa, the considerati o n of which occupied the meeting till a late period; but the Commissioners postponed their final decision. We are glad to find that, upon a mature examination of the ac counts, they confirm the first statement, and promise a larger pro bable surplus than was then shown. The separate estates will, after discharging the respective claims in full, leave a considerable stir plus to pass to the joint account. A dividend of at least 10s. in the pound, will be declared so soon as the law will permit; and we hear that notwithstanding the heavy expenses attendant on bank ruptcy, from 1 Ss. to 20s. in the pound will be ultimately paid to the creditors, with the probability of a surplus.—Brighton Gazette.

THE FORCE OF lIABIT.—OId Charles, as Ire is familiarly called, had driven a coach from Teignmonth to Exeter for seventeen years, and never had a holiday. He began to fancy that he wanted something of the kind, and the request was so reasonable that he had only to ask and have it instantly granted, another driver, on a particular day, but a few weeks since, being directed to perform'thejoutney for him. In the morning, however, Charles arose as usual, and nothing would do but he must go and have a look at the coach and horses These underwent the accut tomed examination, and when the coachman pro tent. mounted the box, Charles, apparently unconscious what he was about, mounted also, and deliberately took his seat by the side of his deputy.— West of England Coneervattve Joternal.

OBSERVANCE OF THE SABBATH TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - - - Sir,—You have done good service to the cause of truth in exposing the unscripturalness of applying Jewish notions, and indeed worse than Jewish notions, of the Sabbath, to the Christian Lord's-day. That the New Testament knows absolutely nothing of modern Sabbatarianism, may be affirmed without fear of contradiction, by any passage, whether historical or preceptive, which can be quoted from it. And any one who has aeen in the habit of reading the earliest writers of the Christian church, will know that they all, when they advert to the subject, placed in the strongest possible contrast the Jewish Sabbath of rest from bodily labour, and the Christian rest from vice and sin. It never entered their minds for several ages that any deed, right on the other days of the week, was wrong on the first day. I will not occupy your columns by proving what every scholar must know, and what others must take on credit. There is, however, one view of the subject which has been hardly. exhibited in your paper yet—a view requisite to a complete representation of the matter, and which may help to disarm opposition to what I deem indis putable truth. I mean the injurious influence which Sabbatarianism has exerted upon Christianity, and the good which might be expected to result from healthier and more elevated views. First, then, Sabbatarianism (I use the word for brevity) is a falling back from the higher and more perfect views of Christianity, to the lower and elementary ones of Judaism. Judaism was, in Paul's view, a system of tutelage for minors, " till the fulness of times should come." In this system God took parts of things as a tribute, teaching his right to the whole. Part of the land, part of its pro duce, part of the tribes, one spot, and one house, were set apart to Ilim, to show that all were his. In like manner, part of their time was set apart from secular engagements, to teach them that God might claim it entirely. Under the Christian dispensation all this is reversed. "Ye are not your own," "He hath bought us with his blood,"—,this is the foundation of New- Testament legislation. Accordingly, we ourselves, and everything belonging to us, are viewed as God's. There is no land holier than the rest—no persons more consecrated than others—(Archbishop Whateley has beautifully shown this in his "No Priesthood in Christianity but that of Christ")—there is no place holier than others—no part of our property more sacred than the rest ; " the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof." In like manner there is no time more sacred by appointment than other time—all time is equally sacred—" every day is alike." Every action is either a duty or a sin ; if a duty in itself, the day on which it is done we are nowhere taught can make it a sin. Now, as our Lord testifies, "the hour is come when men may in every place worship the Father"—men might not at that time worship him anywhere with the highest worship, it might be done only in the temple. , Nor might they take any day and rest upon it instead of the seventh—it would have been death by the law., Now, on the contrary, anywhere and on any day, wors hi p i s equa ll y acceptable. Judaism was a system_ of shadows—of beautifully adapted artificial worship. Christianity is the reality which flung its shadows forward in Judaism ; but now that the Son of Righteousness has risen, the mountain of the Lord's house appears on the top of the mountains. Shadows are fled, and we know what we worship." The rest of the old Sabbath beauti fully typified the rest of all nations when they shall " learn the art of war no more,"—the rest of every Christian mind, when, through the powerful grace of Christ, the soul rests from its vain struggles for en joyment in sin, and acquiesces "in his yoke"—the rest of those who " cease from their labours, and their works follow them." The low Sabbatarian no tion has insensibly profaned six days out of seven. If it has gained anything for one day, which is much to be questioned, it is at a fearful cost to the rest. Six days are thought less holy that one day may b e deemed holier. I fully agree in the fitness of the first day for worship offered through a risen Saviour; but, Sir, it is the worship which is sacred, not the day. A. Christian assembly is no fiction, it is a so lemn reality. A multitude of minds thinking of— PRICE 5d , :; ,Aer/w r ~ / ~% M!.!
