NOVEMBER 9, 1842, It seems by the " City Intelligence," that the value of ships has of late very much fallen off. Whitby and Newcastle built ships have fallen, it is said, 3/. per ton within the last eight months, and ships built in our American pro vinces have been sold here at 41. to 61. per ton less than they cost. The shipping which eight months ago was supposed to be worth '28,600,000/., is now estimated at only 11,440,0001., and as much of it is mortgaged it is likely to pass, we are afraid, from the hands of the present owners. All the ports of the world, it is said, are crowded with ships seeking freights at greatly reduced rates, and few or none are to be had. The de pression, or rather the ruin which began in our manufacturing districts, has now reached our shipping as well as our agriculture, and all the great producing interests of the empire are suf fering under the restrictive and the meddling policy of the statesman who demanded and re ceived the enormous fee of Prime Minister to cure all our disorders. The shipping interest was distinguished for its opposition to the reduction of the timber duties, because it knew that whatever lowered the cost of ship-building would reduce the selling value of all the ships already built. What may be the effect of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S alteration of those duties, in conjunction with his various measures to change the direction of commerce rather than to set it free and enlarge it, we cannot calculate, but no doubt the shipping interest is well aware, like the agricultural interest, that its Tory friends have greatly deceived and injured it. The shipping interest will allow us to say that it deserves no hetter, for it has long been generally Tory, and the advocate of those restrictions on trade which are now injuring the shipping. The political and commercial opinions of the shipowners have helped much to lower the value of their own property. But a more efficacious cause of the fall of the value of shipping than either the timber duties, or the unsettling, without extending trade, is to be found in the competi t i on of the shipowners themselves. Not only more ships have been built, but great care has been taken to improve their qualities. The introduction of steam navi gation, as we see in the competition of the Ameri can Liners, has tended to accelerate the voyan•es e f sailing ships, while it has enabled steam ships to perform some voyages in one-third of the tim e which sailing ships require. At present, for example, the bulk of the trade is carried on with Haniburgli by means of steam-vessels, which a rc about fifty hours in making the voyage out and borne, while that used to require, on an averag e , seven days at least. The alteration, too, in the mode of registering vessels, has, no doubt, tended to improve the qualities of all ships built since the new law was enacted. Taking into consideration the increase of steam-vessels, and the various improvements which have been made in sailing ships, and in navigating them, we venture to state that two-thirds, or perhaps half, of our registered tonnage now performs as much work, or carries as many goods from port to port s as the whole would, were ships now manawed as they were twenty years ago. N o t w i t h standing this great increase of efficiency , the nu m b er o f registered ships in the United Kingdom and the colonies increased 444,047 tons between 1839 and 1841. This increase in the quantity of the ship ping, combined with its increased efficiency, in the face of a much restricted and almost stag nant trade, is the chief cause of the want of freight and the fall in the value of ships. In the slang language of the anti-free-traders, it will be said that the shipowners have over traded. They have produced a glut of shipping. Thus the improvement in building and navigat ing ships, and the application of steam to navi gation, some of the proudest triumphs of human skill, come by an erroneous policy to be the misfortune, or even to be reckoned as the faults or errors, of those who adopt or achieve them. Bad men are those, according to this theory, who facilitate navigation. At present those who endeavour to improve agriculture must share this reproach. The value of its pro duce has fallen, and notwithstanding cur people are famishing, and notwithstanding the tendency of population to increase, there is a glut of agri cultural produce as well as of shipping.. In truth, what happens to the shipping interest may be assumed as a type of what happens to every producing interest. It is everywhere de sirous to produce as much and as cheaply as pos sible. The competition amongst its own members introduces exertion and stimulates invention. New contrivances, new machinery, new manures , greater skill in draining ground, and in sailing ships, continually tend in every branch of busi ness to produce every thing useful to man which can he made by labour at a less cost. As ma chinery is improved, mills are multiplied ; as ships are more easily navigated, the number of them is increased; as the ground is better under drained, a greater breadth is sown with corn. Thus, through every branch of business, competition stimulates both invention and exertion, and all the producing classes, without any exception, continually labour to supply commodities at a cheapening rate and more of them. There is a universal striving to this end, and if it be not, therefore, a law of nature that men should pro duce commodities as cheaply as possible, neither is it a law of nature that streams should flow to wards the sea. The theorists, however, those who convert the proudest triumphs of skill into misfortunes, maintain that it is a folly and an error to produce commodities at a cheap rate, and they make laws to prevent the accomplishment of that for which all men in businessstrive. Corn-laws and similar enactments in England, Tariffs in France, Ger many, and the United States, one and all, have for their object to prevent commodities becoming cheap and abundant. The trade policy of every Government is in opposition to the struggles of mankind. It defies the laws of nature, as a man defies them who throws himself from a house top, and is bruised and maimed for his folly. When HENGIST and HORSA, or when any of the other ancient German or Saxon Chiefs, led forth, from the too narrow abode of their people, some great swarms in search of a new home, they obeyed the necessary tendency of society in those days when art was little advanced, arid the earth but scantily peopled. They were the real leaders of men, and were willingly honoured and obeyed as such. But modern Governments, pretending to be the leaders or the people, set themselves up in direct opposition to the tendency of society, and will be obeyed by force. They make barriers of themselves to prevent the pro gress of mankind, instead of leading them on. It is the conflict between their restrictions, prevent ing the free exchange of goods between one na tion and another, and everywhere preventing the increase of population and. wealth, which causes a glut of shipping, a glut of manufactures, a glut of agricultural produce, and which turns the skill and ingenuity of man into curses. On the one hand we have all the producing classes everywhere striving to make commodities cheap and abundant; and on the other, we have Go vernments, under the guidance °fa theory that cheapness is an evil, striving to prevent things becoming cheap. Everywhere, therefore, the bulk of society in its practice, and legislation by its enactments, aims at accomplishing contradictory and incompatible ends; and the producers of every description find their exertions foiled, and their prosperity endangered. Though there are many complaints of the ship ping being out of employment, we are pleased to see by the last finance accounts that the number of seamen had steadily increased from 191,282 in 1809, to 210,198 in 1841. As long as their num ber increases, we should care little for what ship owners might suffer in pocket; but they cannot suffer without ultimately fewer seamen being em ployed. A more narrow-minded set of politicians generally speaking, and a less generous race of men, than the shipowners we are scarcely ac quainted with. We can never forgive them for continually allowing their servants (the sea men) to be impressed without making one honest, bold, and united exertion to put an end to such an iniquity. Had they had the least care for the men who had make them wealthy they might, long ago, have put down that national disgrace. But they are accused, and we believe the accusation, of tolerating this abuse, because it placed the seamen somewhat more in their power, and somewhat at their mercy. They would rather be served by men who may be en slaved, and therefore kept humiliated and de based, than by free men. Till they exert them selves to put an end to impressment—till they forbid it, which they have time power to do, we shall lose no opportunity of reminding them of their ungenerous conduct, and of recording their dishonour. MONOPOLY FLOURISHES IN THE MIDST OE NATIONAL DISTRESS.—Bank stock, say the re ports from the City, continues to rise. Since the beginning of the month it has got up from five to six per cent. The stock is sought for, and purchases are made, on the supposition, which no doubt h as i ts foundation in nds and winks, and sly in s it uat i ons of members of the Bank par lcoruera,sing tha . t the profits p r ro l fi ik ts el o y f . • Corporation are in issues of the Ba n k o f England were Till t return, dually t e h n e . c h wchlarging, and those o f t h e Joint s the l con tracting.

Its business must increase as theirs diminishes. At any rate its profits, compared to the general profits of trade , are rising, and thus this monstrous monopoly, the next usurpatio n of our common rights which is, we hope, to be abated after the Corn-laws are abolished, is thriving amidst the general distress. Who shall say that it does not thrive in consequence of the distress ? Who shall say that it does not con tribute to cause the distress that it may thrive? At least the Bank and all connected with it can have no sympathy with the terrible misfortunes suffered by the people, which reach not the char tered corporation. INSTALLATION OF THE DEAN OF WESTMINSTER. — The ceremony of installing Dr. Turton, the newly elected Dean of Westminster, took place yesterday, during the morning service at Westminster Abbey. At the conclusion of the first service the Dean elect was led in by Dr. Dakin, the - precentor, upon which her Majesty's letters patent, signed with the Great Seal, were read by the Chapter Clerk, and the usual oath having been administered by Dr. Dakin, Lord John Thynne, the sub-dean, con ducted Dr. Turton to the dean's stall, where he con tinued during the remainder of the service. The Psalms of the day were, by a curious coincidence, the same as those read at the funeral of Dr. Ireland, the late dean, it being exactly this day.two mouths since Ins burial. The service was Dr. Cooke's, in G; and the anthem " I was in the spirit"—Dr. Blow. THE MASTER or THE ROLLS GOWN.— On the new Master of the Rolls taking his seat on Wednesday, it was remarked that his gown differed in some respects (the workmanship, for instance, being much more ornamental) from those usually worn at the present day, How the circumstance occurred, we understand, was this :—lt appeared that Mr. Black burne's robe=rnaker had failed in punctuality, not hav ing his gown ready for the opening day of term. His Honour happening to mention the awkward position into which he was thrown by this disappointment to the Attorney-General, the latter begged him to make his mind easy on the subject, as he would at once set the matter right ; and so he did, by forwarding to him the robe worn by his - grandfather, Sir Michael -Smith, when Master of the Rolls, some 50 years ago, and which had been ever since carefully preserved as a sort of relic by the family. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1842. THE LATE MR. HONE. • William Hone was the second of two brothers, both of whom were children of a religious and vir tuous father. His mind, from its earliest years, was always devoted to literary pursuits, and the ac • quisitions which he made in a class of reading, rather out of the ordinary way, were extensive and erudite. As it was related of Johnson by his pleasant bio grapher, that he said "he loved the old black-letter books, because they were rich in matter, though their style was inelegant," so Mr. Hone acknowledged that it was this same order of reading which had been especially dear to him from accidental acquaintance with it in childhood; and it was with this that he con tinued to have stolen intimacies during thirty years anterior to that portion of his career, which brought it more particularly into action. Mr. hone was born in 1780, and at the age of ten years was placed in an attorney's office in the metro polis, and when very young imbibed many of the principles disseminated by the London Corresponding Society. His father becoming acquainted with this circumstance removed him to the office of Mr. Jef feries, solicitor, at Chatham, in whose employ he re mained two years and a-half, when he returned to London, and engaged himself as clerk to Mr. Eger ton, of Gray's Inn. He subsequently, however, from some supposed distaste, quitted the law, and having in July married, commenced business as a print and bookseller, with a circulating library in Lambeth walk. He next removed to St. Martin's -churchyard, near Charing-cross, where he had the misfortune to have his house burned, and sustained a very con siderable loss. He next enrolled himself in the Prince of 'Wales's volunteer corps, and suffered various vicissitudes both in and out of business. Mr. Hone made his first literary essay as a satirist. Perhaps no composition of the same class ever went through a greater number of editions than his " Political House that Jack Built," and in illus trating which, the inimitable powers of Cruikshank were first developed. Shortly after he edited the pamphlet known as the " Spirit of Despotism," and thereby resuscitated powerful pieces of writing, which a few years before, had biassed in no ordinary man ner, the minds and principles of the public. Mr. Hone subsequently became a bankrupt, but again started in May's-buildings, St. Martin's-lane, from whence he removed to High-street, Bloomsbury, where, whilst Mrs. Hone attended to the shop, he acted as assistant to Mr. Saunders, the book auc tioneer. In 1811 he commenced for himself, and held his first trade sale as a book auctioneer, having a counting-house in Ivy-lane. But here again the strong desire he always manifested to rectify abuses led him to investigate the complaints which had been made respecting lunatic asylums, and for this purpose he cordially co-operated with Mr. E. Wakefield and James Bevan, of the Society of Friends—and one re sult among many was the release of an unfortunate man of the name of Norris, who for nine years had been chained to an upright iron bar in one of the cells of Bethlem Hospital. Involved in embarrass ments, a second failure was the consequence — his family having in the interval increased to seven children, who were taken to a humble lodging in the Old Bailey, where the father struggled hard to maintain them by his contributions to the Critical Review and the British Lady's Magazine. He next occupied a small shop in Fleet-street, as a bookseller, which on two different nights was plun dered of the most valuable works, many of which had been borrowed for the purpose of displaying stock. This greatly disheartened him, but about 1815 he became publisher of the Traveller newspaper, and the case of Eliza Fenning coming under his notice, he exerted his usual indefatigable zeal to rescue her from death. In 1816 he commenced a weekly paper called the Reformist's Register, in which he very ably combated the doctrines promulgated by Mr. Owen. In considering, however, the life of Mr. Hone, that portion, which of course attaches the attention most, is that which relates to the period when, on charges of libel and blasphemy, he was summoned before the ju dicature of his country to answer the allegations brought against him. To these we at once proceed. The first trial of Mr. Hone came on before Mr. Justice Abbot and a special jury on the 18th of De cember, 1817. The information filed against him was for printing and publishing a seditious and profane libel on those parts of the Church Service called the Catechism, the Apostles' Creed, and the Lord's prayer, to which the defendant pleaded " Not Guilty." Air. Hone, acting as his own counsel, addressed himself to the management of his own case. Though unprac tised in the art of speaking, the impression he made was considerable. Touching upon his arrest, he com plained against Lord Ellenborough for excess of rigour. The hasty manner of his apprehension by his Lordship's order he strongly dilated on. Labouring at the time under severe indisposition from a nervous complaint, he was hurried from a spunging house to Westminster-hall, to plead to informations of the na ture of which he was wholly ignorant. Placed on the floor of the Court, hardly able to stand or see from indisposition, he respectfully craved the indulgence of the Lord Chief Justice to be allowed to sit whilst three long informations were read. Never, said Hone, should he forget the answer which the Noble Lord gave to this application from a forlorn and oppressed fellow-creature, literally sinking from pain and the sufferings of humanity.. The venerable Judge, said he, in relating this circumstance, with that com placency, mildness, and forbearance, which was so peculiar to him, uttered the monosyllable "No !" and that "No" was delivered with an emphasis which might have been heard at the other end of Westmin ster-hall. This treatment, said Hone produced a different effect upon him from that which his Lord ship calculated. It operated on him like a glass of cold water thrown on the face of a fainting man. It roused him to a sense of independence. He saw that he was the victim of a grinding persecution, which, though it had broken him down, had not yet crushed him. He had been called, said Mr. Hone, in continua tion of his defence, by some of the papers, a wretch who had been dragged from obscurity and poverty by the sale of blasphemous publications. He would not call the authors by that appellation by which he had been branded, but he challenged the whole world to point out an instance in which he had been guilty of a single act derogatory to a moral and honest man. High authorities had raised an outcry against him— a sort of war- whoop—for the purpose of dragging him, a miserable and defencelesss man, through the gauntlets of popular clamour, as an execrable enemy to society. He scorned the ambition of becoming a popular man, even if he had the ability to attain such a distinction—but he did lay claim to the character of an honest and independent man. He then came to the charge of publishing parodies. His defence was that there were two kinds of paro dies; one in which a man might convey ludicrous or ridiculous ideas relative to some other subject; the other where it was meant to ridicule the thing paro died. The latter, he asserted, was not the case in that which he employed, and therefore he had not brought religion into contempt. After these obser vations, he proceeded to show that the parody brought in accusation against him was in itself innocent, and void of wrong tendency. The Blackwood of the preceding October had a parody on Ezekiel, just of the character of his, but it was written by respect able men. Judge Abbot, in drawing up, stated his conviction that the prisoner had irreligiously scanda lised and libelled the Church. The Jury withdrew, but in a quarter of an hour returned, with a firm voice, " Not Guilty." Loud acclamations instantly filled the Court. The second trial of Mr. Hone came on, upon the 19th of the same month, before Lord Ellenborough. The scenes between his Lordship and the accused were on this occasion most remarkable. Lord Ellen borough a pp eare d s i tt i ng on t h orns, an d woun d up t o one portion contended the colloquy that the utm os t pitch of i rr it a ti on th roug h ou t the trial. I in w te as nti ."' on arm an a d na te violent. ndenu lk il lr. Hone were very different considerations. " I call upon your Lordship to say," said he, " whether I can be guilty of a libel, unless there is manifest • • a intention on my part to commit the offence charged by the information?" Lord Ellenborough—As you call upon me to give my opinion, I say, if the publication has a tendency to produce that effect on the minds of the persons who read it, it is in law and in fact a libel. I should not have interrupted you, but you called for my direction. Mr. Hone—That, Gentleman of the Jury, is his Lordship's (!) opinion. Lord Ellenborough—lt is not only my opinion, but that of all ,lawyers and all Judges who ever sat upon the Bench. Every man must be answerable for the tendency of his acts. He cannot put his private intention in opposition to his act, if it has a tendency to inflame the public mind, and produce mischief. There is no Judge and no lawyer who will controvert this proposition. Mr. Hone said that this was not his argument. The Attorney-General had said that his Lordship would, if he thought fit, give his opinion to the Jury. This his Lordship was certainly empowered to do, under Mr. Fox's Bill. Lord Ellenborough—The Judge wanted no power so to do, before Mr. Fox's Bill. It was his sworn duty to do so before Mr. Fox's Bill, or even himself, existed. Mr. Hone submitted that Mr. Fox's Bill must be considered as having passed unnecessarily, and was, in fact, surplusage, although the wisdom of the Legis lature had thought it necessary to introduce an: ex press clause into the Bill empowering the Judge to give his opinion. " But," said Mr. Hone, in a loud and triumphant voice, " this is but his Lordship s opinion." This exclamation produced a shout of applause from the auditory, who clapped their hands and huzzaed repeatedly. In an authoritative tone, Lord Ellenborough called upon the Sheriffs to do their duty, and seize the per sons who had disturbed the Court. Proceedings were stopped for some minutes,' when the Sheriffs' officers were asked if they had secured the offenders. One answered that they could not see ' any of the persons who had disturbed the Court. Lord Ellenborough rose—Open your eyes—stretch forth your arm, and seize the offenders. I see a great many persons before me, but I cannot distinguish the offenders. The trial proceeded. Mr. Hone, in his defence, adduced a greater crowd of authorities who were stated by him to have parodied sacred subjects in the same manner as himself. The Jury, it is well known, brought in their una nimous verdict of " Not Guilty," and the sensation produced by the effect of this partial trial cannot be described. To enter into review of the third trial of Mr. Hone for the publication of the " Sinecurists' Creed, which was alleged to be a parody on on the Creed of Saint Athanasius, would, perhaps, be te dious, as the tenor of his defence, and the result in his acquittal, were the same as in the two foregoing trials. Perhaps the most cruel casualty that befel Mr. Hone was the disrepute and subsequent voluntary banishment from this country of his brolher, occa sioned by his authorship of the publications for which he was tried. Mr. Hone, the brother, was a barrister of ten years' standing, who pursued his profession at first on the Midland Circuit, and more lately in the Court of Chancery. For several years he obtained by this means such an income as was sufficient for the support of his family in comfort and independence. As soon, however, as the relation between him and the subject of this memoir was known, an unjust pre judice was transferred to the innocent brother of the publisher : it was taken for granted that the two held the same religious and political opinions, till Mr. Hone was gradually deserted by his clients, and found himself deprived of his whole professional income. In the hope of diverting this prejudice against his character, he applied to the Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellor, and the twelve Judges, to subscribe to a book on Conveyancing, which they did, obtaining also similar permission from the gentlemen within the bar in the Court of Chancery, and the leaders of his own Cir cuit. Distress and poverty, however, prevented the completion of this design. His wife and children were frequently without the necessaries of life, and finally a number of gentlemen at the bar subscribed together to enable Mr. Hone to emigrate to one of the colonies. Mr. Hone's publication of " The Apocryphal New Testament," from which the ecclesiastical followers of former times drew most largely for their sacred inter ludes and plays, was made by him, as a matter of mere curiosity, for the information of curious and in quisitive dispositions. By part of the Press, however, it was construed into a cause of attack, and the fierce ness of the Quarterly Review in this respect, in Octo ber, 1821, roused him to answer the assailant, in which he resented the flagitious frauds of the Reve rend Reviewer. In 1823, Mr. Hone published his description of the " Ancient Mysteries," such as chiefly found in the old English Miracle Plays, and printed at his own house, 45, Ludgate-hill. In 1830, Mr. Hone produced his " Annals of the Revolutions in France," which was compiled chiefly from the journals and part correspondence, and pos sesses some interesting documents. Among other literary works by Mr. Hone, was the " Spirit of Despotism," dedicated to Lord Castlereagh, edited by Mr. Hone, and republished in 1821. His " Slap at Slop (Dr. Stoddart) and the Bridge-street Gang," was published in the same year. In 1824 lie responded to the Quarterly Review, in a pamphlet en titled ." Aspersions answered," which was followed by " Another Article for the Quarterly," written in the same year. The excellent and entertaining work entitled " The Every-day Book, or Calendar of Popu. lar Amusements," appeared in 1826-7, and attracted greatly by its excellent manner. The " Table-book," a similar work, was also produced in 1827, in two volumes ; these he finished while under arrest for debt c in the King's Bench, with his family of ten children L , r "Hon's Poor Humphrey." a dependent on him. His " Year-book of Daily Recrea tions and Informatisomna"llapaplmeaaoreado in of al8“ cu 3 p 2 0 . li appeared in 1829. The last, however, was a mere catchpenny of the hour. The difficulties under which Mr. Hone laboured once more aroused the energies of his friends, and by their aid he was enabled to take the Grasshopper coffee-house, in G r acechurch-street, but after a few years this speculation also failed. At the starting of the Penny Magazine , he wrote the first article, and he likewise edited " Strutt's Sports,'' &c. Mr. Hone, towards the close of his life, became one of the editors of the Patriot newspaper, and con tinued in the situation till increasing infirmity caused him to retire altogether from active life. He has left, out of a family of twelve children, nine still living, several of whom, with their widowed mother, are almost wholly unprovided for. COURT CIRCULAR.

SlR—Conning over the columns of your evening edition of Friday, .I saw an account of a scientific meeting in France, at which was communicated the sea! only extraordinary and highly interesting fact in natural history,--that a rat had been found near the top of one of the Alp s ! many thousands of feet above the on an think, a rat on a high mountain ! Was it exploratory journey, such as some men of science have immortalised themselves by? " Whence came this little ambiti ous an imal ?" I exclaimed. Surel y it must be some lear ne d ra t from our own is land, that, tired of political strif e , determined, like nobler bein g s, to go on its trav e l s ; and, no doubt, manage d, un p erceived, to secrete it se lf i n t h e recesses of the steam er ' s hold, taking th e route of France , w here it would meet with many kind re d rats.

Much of this wheat is still unsold, and the agricul turists, wh o were t aug ht to expect a higher prot,!3c tion than the Bs. fixed duty. are actually in the same situation now as they would have been if there had been a free trade in corn, for they have to compete with foreign corn to be sold without reserve, to meet engagements, at as small a price as it would have sold with open ports.—Glasgow Argus.

Protestant bigotry has, it seems, taken the alarm at the Bishop of London's late Charge. We are not at all surprised at this, for it was a timid, time-serving affair—Puseyite in one , pas sage, Anti-Puseyite in the next, enunciating no decided opinions on important matters, but dwelling chiefly on trivialities, about which, as being wholly unconnected with religion, no really religious man cares two straws. At a meeting of a Protestant Association, held in the British School-room at Hackney, on Monday last, the Chairman thus alluded to the tame, Jesuiti cal Charge in question :—" It is a disgrace to the Church. The most illiterate Hodge could have produced from the bible sothething more applicable at this critical juncture. The Bishop ought to have known better. The PrOtestant Association would stand no mock-modest non sense. They looked with suspicion on his Lord ship's tacit approval of tapers, and the wearing of black gowns in the church. Five years ago he compromised the honour of the Apostolic Church by extending the right hand of fellow ship to the Methodists, and now he was anxious to scrape acquaintance with the Puseyites." See what it is to be a timid, vacillating time-server! By oscillat- ing like a pendulum between High Church and Low Church, and adhering steadily to neither, the Bishop of LONDON has alarmed all the bigots of the Establishment ; while at the same time he has failed to win the confidence of the Moderates. High Church swears he is a Methodist; Low Church denounces him for a Puseyite and the Moderate party say that he is too cunning, too much of an expediency monger, to be trusted more than is absolutely necessary. ." Any man," continued the Chairman, " - no matter even if he be a Bishop, who was anxious to be wedded to Puseyism, ought to be hunted out of the Church-, with a. cry of stop thief!' " This is a bright conception, mid hoW diverting in the execution! Imagine the sleek, pursy Bishop of LONDON scuttling out of the Church as fast as his legs can carry him, and a pack of furious Pluralists in full cry at his heels, following scent with all the zeal and acumen of fox-hounds ! By rousing the bigots of Protestantism, and putting them to a man on the vive, the ghostly Prelate has done more harm to the temporal interests of the Establishment than he will be able to repair during his life-time. He has shown the world that Mother Church is so torn and weakened with schisms and divisions, that she is compelled, through one of her chief dignitaries, to tempo rise and coquet with her enemies, instead of opposing a bold front to them. The Assistant Poor-law Commissioners have at last made an official report respecting the condi tion and education of the pauper children in the extensive parish of St. Pancras. It extends to great length, but, with the exception of a few points, possesses no general interest. After ex pressing theirregret that the Directors had not pre vented all attempts, open or covert, at prosely tism, andannouncing their determination to suffer no subsequent interference on the part of any party whatever, for the purpose of undermining the religious belief of the children, they furnish some curious statistical accounts in reference to religious instruction, if such an absurd system as that hithert* practised can deserve the name. ft appears that while all the children attend one morning and one evening service eighty, at tend two morning services immediately succeed ing each other, and twenty-tour are present at two morning and two evening services. All are engaged in religious services hie hours during the Sunday; twenty-tour are. engaged for six hours and a-half, and .none can be said to have more than two hours' relaxation, exclusive of meal hours, while twenty-four have only an hour and a-half! Now, if it had been the intention of • the Directors, and Chaplain, and leachers to make the sacred "day of rest," and .religious duties, utterly hateful to the yorithfirlmind, they could not have devised a more effectual plan. Children thus harrassed . byendless - repetitions, and deprived of cheerful recreation during the whole of Sunday, must look forward to thai day with fear and trembling. But the annoyance to which they are subjected, is the least part of the evil. They acquire little or no religious know ledge, but they acquire a dislike to churches, and sermons, and Sundays; and when they grow up, and are left to the bent of their own inclinations, can any one wonder that they pre fer the ale-house to the parish church, or that they cast off all respect for parsons, and treat with contempt religious rites and ceremonies? This is the great and crying sin of our Sabbath worshippers in the North, who would make a day set apart for joy and gladness a day of gloom and sorrow, and thereby destroy one of the strongest incitements to the performance of religious duties. We rejoice, therefore, that this important subject has been taken up by the Commissioners, and we quote with pleasure their concluding remarks, which will not be lost on the parish authorities :—" We feel persuaded that it is only necessary that the attention of the Directors of the poor should be called to these circumstances, to ensure the im mediate suspension of a practice so calculated to establish in the minds of the children associa tions of the worst tendency in reference to this day of rest,' and of cheerful religious service." Very few years have elapsed since it was the practice, and perhaps it is yet the practice to some extent, in Edinburgh, to obtain much of the water for the supply of the houses from public pumps, around which a large group or long strings of barefooted maidens might be seen struggling ibr an early turn, or patiently wait ing till others were served, before they could obtain water for the family breakfast. In Paris it is yet the custom for men to carry water from the public fountains into the houses—at least the custom, which a few years ago was' universal, is not yet extinct, and the water carriers formed a remarkable portion of the population of that city. Now these arc two of the most refines! cities of the old world. Both are remarkable for the great literary and scientific attainments of their inhabitants, but in both were the houses to a recent period supplied with water as we have described. Latterly it has been conducted into some houses both in Paris and Edinburgh as in London, and great were the exertions in bUth cities before it could be achieved, .and great was the rejoicing when it was done. In Paris the Seine gave every facility for this purpose—in Edinburgh great difficulties were to beovercome• But what has been done at Paris and Edin burgh after ages of civilization and refinement, has been accomplished almost at once, and in perfection, at New York. We published ;:ester day in The Sun a brief notice of the ceretnimy observed in solemnly introducing the waters of the Croton into the city, and of the works neces sary to conduct it thither. By channels, sy phons, aqueducts, carried across rivers, and from hill to hill, the Crown is conducted a distance of 46 miles into New York. The whole expense has been $9,000,000. The annual charge is esti mated at $6:. 1 0,000, and. for this 75,000,000 gallons of water are conveyed, or three hogsheads for every inhabitant. London is supplied with 34,000,000 gallo is for an annual sum of $1,380,000, and Paris is supplied with only 4,000,000 gallons, or two quarts for each inhabitant, for $750,000. In Paris few houses have water conducted to I •)ir upper parts. In New York the water rises top of the hig hest houses. " The turning to the . the tubs and culinary vessels of the of a cock fills . • and almost as soon the 50- kitchen in a moment, • " Looking at all hogshead boilers of a steamboat, • its results, it perhaps deserve the praise - 0 _► _ one of the most useful undertakings of the kind that are recorded in the annals of the world. In our judgment the gigantic achievement does great honour to New York, though Mr. STEPHENS modestly said it had only followed ancient Rome at a respectable distance. If the modern republican city falls behind the ancient one, it certainly far surpasses all the Royal capitals, save one, which is also a commercial city of modern Europe. It is very gratifying also to read, that this great work has been con structed without one dollar being lost or dis honestly applied. It is equally creditable, therefore, to the genius and the morality of the Americans. It pains us to reflect that a work so worthy of universal commendation, should not have attracted the smallest notice or approba tion from a late much honoured visitor to the United States. The Madrid journals of the 31st ult., have ar rived, but contain little news. El Corresponsal of the 31st ult. states, that a sanguinary contest bad taken place near Bonillo, between some Custom-house officers and a band of robbers. No details, however, are given. The Three per Cents. were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 31st ult. at 21i cash, and 21! at 60 days; the Fives at 26i, 60 days; the Treasury floating debt at 43i, at 60 days. The Paris papers are still occupied with the proceedings of the Delegates from different parts of France, which possess little interest tbr the English reader. Some few towns have exhibited a very different spirit, from that displayed by the monopolists of the north. The merchants and wine proprietors or Bourdeaux have ad dressed a letter to the Minister of Foreign Af fairs, disavowing all connection with the Dele gates, and at the same time approving of a com mercial union with Belgium. The Chamber of Commerce at Lyons have followed the example, but we fear without the slightest chance of wak ing an impression on their selfish opponents. The Courrier Francais gives the following ac count of the reception of the deputation of the manufacturers from Louvieri, by the KINQ His Majesty, after receiving the deputation very graciously, pointed out the irregularity of their pro ceeding, stating that he would refer to the Minister of Commerce the memorial which was presented to him against a customs' union with Belgium. In the conversation which ensued, he gave' them to under stand that the lines of the French.cdstonis_ must be carried to the frontiers of the Netherlands, or Prus sian custom-house officers would be seen on the French frontiers. The deputation afterwards proceeded to the Ministers of Commerce, of the interior,, of War, and of Foreign Affairs. They found the two last but little disposed in favour of their demands but MM. Duchatel and Cunin-Gridaine appeared to think with them, and to prefer the extension of the Zollverein to that of the French customs. Among the members of the deputation were MM. F. Jourduin and Bibbon, and M. H. Pussy, a deputy of the department of the Eure. The news from China and Affghanistan also afford matter for observation on the policy and aggressive spirit of the English in the East, and the more violent of the journals find consolation for the razzias of the French in Africa, by con trasting these with some excesses committed by the British force near Jellalabad. We find the following on this subject in the Courrier Fran cais:— The military excursion across the mountains and defiles of Affghanistan may be a consolation to Bri tish pride, but the power of the kingdom will gain no thing by it. Men will say to each other, that Great Britain has attempted the conquest of Affghanistau with immense means, in order to gratify an am bition still more gigantic; that she had to contend with only half-savage tribes, disunited and badly armed, without cannon without cavalry, without organisation; that she undertook this enterprise for the purpoin of disputing with Russia the advance posts of the dominion in Asia, and that, after a barren occupation and overwhelming reverses, she was obliged to order an evacuation of the coun try. This is a great, an irreparable check ; but this is not all, for the English- will leave in Affghanistan a detested name. The inclination of their troops to waste and pillage has been marked during the war by the most abomihable excesses. The former intelligence from Affghanistan stated that a body of troops sent from Jellalabad had burnt the Affghan villages, mur dered the men, violated the women, and that the greatest insubordination prevailed amongstthe soldiers of General Pollock. The Bombay journals, which are now before us, announce that the -same troops have cut down the vines and felled the fruit trees, and .that it will take the Affghans twenty years' labour to repair the disasters of this invasion. Arid the London journals will speak to us ofexcesses committed ' in Algeria, where our soldiers at least open roads, plant trees, till the fields, and protect the peaceable cultivators, keeping their arms for the marauders who infest the country ! The comparison, of course, cannot fail to be in favour. of England, which mani fests her civilisation to barbarous nations only by, the power which she displays in the means of destruction! The English, to indemnify themselves for the loss of men, money, and influence which they have just sus tained in Affghanistan,:will probably seize on the Pun jaub, as they have seized on Scinde, in consequence of the intestine divisions afflicting that country since the death of Runjeet-Sing. This will be a rich cap ture, and will again be an instance of the right of the, strongest, of which the conquest and administration of India by the English have so many examples. The speedy invasion of the Punjaub was not looked on at Bombay-as a matter of doubt ;it could not be for any other purpose that the Governor-General had assem bled an army of reserve on the Sutledge, and another on the Scinde. Such is the legacy which Runjeet Sing bequeathed to his country! The National, in adverting to the dispatches) draws the conclusion that the operations of the English in China are only proofs of the despe rate state of distress in our manufacturing dis tricts. "It appears," says that journal, " that the British armies in AfTglianistan have com mitted frightful ravages, in order, no doubt, to leave there a souvenir of English progress. In China the position of the British force does not appear to have changed since the last dispatches. On the part of the invaders, it is always the same thirst for pillage, the same rage for destruction. On the side of the Chinese, passive energy is op posed to invasion. The policy of the British was to excite revolutions in its favour through out the Celestial Empire, but, as yet, this policy has completely failed. It is probable that the Eiiglish will persevere in their unjust ag gression, and that they will conclude by destroying with bomb shells the immense city in which the Emperor of China resides. But it is More than doubtful that they can ever establish themselves there. These events, it is true, affect us in appearance only indirectly, but it is not less worthy of interest to follow the British Govern ment in its march—a Government which would sacrifice the whole world for the sake of profit. What is now passing in China is not only at the same time a curious indication of the almost des perate state of distress to which England is re duced, but likewise affords a useful lesson for those who would be tempted to allow themselves to be caught by the pretended philanthropy of our neighbours."
