" 1 3 as set forth at the meeting of 'Bishops in c opk :na Week last yeqr, to extend the English. Epis- N. t ° all our. coloniea. They' are to begin with be; w th 4eal aild, where the population being as yet chic fl o y , P. 4 03 en all'd squatters, the greatest need , exists 1: 1 f or "Pal i nstruction, Next they are to provi« wh ey British possessions in the Mediterannean, 11.1 7 ere the bulk of the population are Roman Catholics, bruealbers of the Greek ChU rc h, and Jews. New Ara:ick ia to f o ll ow, then the Cape of Good Hope, Diet Britlten's Land, and C ey l on. Wh erever th e I ,l, 4tit s h ttag flies, ther e , apparently, a Bishop is to be s e` i ; and as w e d o not pay enough at home for the.upport of the Church, we are to a for sread tn lt abr oad. p y p w it they have decided on establishing Bishoprics th ein er her MAJESTY has subjects, let us remind ?ea !at India offers' a magnificent harvest to be ~eyPiecl by the magnificent As they are. go:ng to A.;nWhy not , to the banks of the Indus ? India, its 109,90.0,000 population, should suppc 20 clibill 'ciPs end 200 Bishops at the least. As to the religion of the bulk of the people, that is of no more consequence-than the religion of the people in Ireland' or the West Indies.. The Bishops of ,England are too modest to do themselves and the inferior clergy some injustice by not requiring the Government to parcel India out in Bishoprics as well as Ireland. As to the Cape of Good Hope, where they are going in due time to establish a 'Bishop, we are informed that the inhabitants of the colony amount to 163,130, or 7,000 more than the estimate of the clergy. Of the whole, about 1-22 d, part, or 7,580, belong to the Episcopal Church of England, provided with seven churches, and as many ministers; quite enough, how ever, to constitute an Archbishopric, according to the rule followed in Ireland. The Dutchmen and their descendants settled at the Cape, belonging to the Dutch Reformed Church, abhor Bishops. They amount to 72,433. The Dissenters, who agree mainly with them in religious opinions, are 25,685. There are 7,580 Mahomedans, and 45,528 Heathens. The Roman Catholics amount to 1,710, and the remainder are Presbyterians and Lutherans. Here is a 'noble fieldfor a Bishop to exert him Self! 45,000 Heathens to convert, and 72,000 abhorrers to collect under the Episcopal crook ! That the twenty-one parts of the population out of twenty-two do not belong to the English Church, is no reason whatever why they should not pay the English priesthood. • The Bishops assembled in Whitsun week are obviously of that opinion, and they are justified :in holding it by the conduct of the State towards_ Ireland. Extend the system to India by all means; the 9 fewer members of the' Episcopal Church the . more need of Bishops and a staff of.clergy to bring thereensants within its pale; And let us, therefore, have a - full Episcopal establish ment of English Bishops for. India. Statesmen, indeed, make a little objection. They iay that the natives do -not like their religion to be meddled with, and it might go hard with our empire in Ird'a were the Government to plant Archbishops and Bishops there, in proportion to the _number of in habitants. But the Dutch boors at the Cape—though Many of them have already wandered out of the colony to escape from a fancied or a real oppreSsion— md the negro population in the West Indies, though they have begun to show a desire to resist undue in terference with them, may be easily coerced, it is ;upposed, into a due payment for the clergy ; and, herefore, though the clergy refrain from touching India, they demand the establishment of Bishops at :he Cape of Good HOpe, and an increase of them in the West Indies. They probably fancy, like mer chants, if they can once bring their wares before the heathen of the colony, that a taste for them, and a market, will be created, and . Bishops be in demand in ill time to come._ We cannot comprehend why the same rule should lot apply to India as to Ireland. It is considered a nerit to force the Anglican . Church on the Irish Ro man Catholics, and a demerit to force it on the Hin locks. Why are the latter treated so much more tenderly I,nd justly than the former ? • Is less to be got by ,übjecting the Hindoo lands' to - tithes for the Anglican clergyman, than the lands of Ireland ? We can excuse the ambition or avarice of Episco pacy. It is a mere trade in lucre, a wish for a more extensive market, and a higher price. They want, like other men, to be enriched by law. They insist ',hat their 're-hackled and .reswoven old rags are the finest and the strongest of , cloth, and we care not to ;nterfere with the sale of their goods, so long as it is voluntary. But' we must remind the Government that Holland was lost to Spain; and that numerous wars and revolutions have sprung crom Governments; interfering with the religion of their subjects. When Episcopacy, in spite of all that its flatterers can say, .I,nd in spite of all its exertions, is falling into dis favour in England, it will not answer to force it on :he colonists, rude and unprepared. We know that Lord STANLEY brooks no opposition, and that he Aid be as ready to sacrifice the colonial empire to the aggrandisementof the Church, rs he is to sacrifice the Coolie population of India to the enrichment of the Mauritius planters, if that whim should take possession of his mind ; but we beseech his less vehement colleagues not to follow the example of JAMES 11., and barter the authority of Government for the praise of the priesthood. In another part a The San will be found a letter from Mr. RAWSON to Lord JOHN RUSSELL. We do not guarantee his statements, but they pre: , ent some , xtraordinary results. From them it appeals that our ,nanufacturer, who is compelled to be an exporter by `he necessities of his condition, h"s to pay in America, )ut of 216 barrels of flour, 'purchased by the produce A' his labour, 591 for necessary charges of freight, in surance, &c., to which the American manufacturer is not liable. Out of the remaining 1 - 56 - he has to give up 32 barrels to the American Custom-house, that being a retaliatory exrction in consequence of our Corn-laws. Ile ha y s thus 124-i left; but on importing his flour to England, the Corn-laws and Custom-house charges will take away 42.1 more, leaving 82 to be divided---las payment of the materials, 41 barrels, as profit 64, and wages 341. At the same time, his foreign competitor has no less than 146 barrels for profit and wages alone. Supposing that statement to be correct, our manu facturers must labour under . immense disvivantages. Though the statement is there made on larrrels of flour, the result will not differ if the merchant receive a bill Nf exchange, which has to be taken up by goods remitted to England. Though the statement, too, is confined to the United States, it is, pro tanto, true of all third markets where the manufacturing products , of that country come into compe tition with our OWD, and where retalirfory tariffs have been called into existence by our. Corn-laws. It seems pretty certain, too, as capital spreads itself with much readiness • over the commercial world, that the capitalist will go to those countries where profit is highest, and that, consequently, nearly the whole of this vast deduction from the value of our manufactures will mainly fall on the English labour ers. To such a declension - in value, or unfair system of traffic, as regards foreign countries, nearly all our manufactures are liable, for they are all exported, which serves to account for, their continual •;all in price, and the unceasing deterioration of the condi tion of our manufacturing population. Their increase in skill, and the continued invention of new machines, ought, like the discoveries in agriculture, which have been described as arresting at intervals the downward march of profits and wages, to continually improve the condition of the people ; but in spite of this great principle, the restriction laid by law on t rade,mak es it tend to impoverish instead of enriching all classes. England, M. RAWSON says, which hts served nearly the whole world with hosiery for 200 years, is the only Country in which the con sumption of hosiery is not rapidly increasing. In England the consumption has fallen off, Mr. RAW sow says, one-third within the last three or four years ; and we need scarcely look beyond the genera'. , diminution of wages pointed out by Mr. llAwsow as the consequence. of our fierce competition with nations . not yet heavily chained by restrictive laws, to ascer -taro the cause of the dlininishei consumption. •'.l more the Corn-laws are investigated, the grei,ter are the evil effects brought to light. We hope that the Noble Lord to whom Mr. RAWSON'S letter is addressed, w;11 eause the truths it conveys to be heard in high places. • Mr. Fox MAULE evidently labours under great anx iety for his rebellious friends in Strathbogie. The Duke of RICHMOND, shocked at the cruel sentence of depo,i don issued by the last General Assembly against seven membera of Presbytery, has committed the unpardonable offence of filling up the vacancy caused• by the death of Mr. entmcsnANK, one of the deposed clergymen, without consulting CHALMEJIS, CANDLISH, and -C and some outbreak, instigated tio doubt by the 111:on=Intt sionist party, 18 anticipated on the induction of the pre sentee. The Horne Secretary has, therefore, made provisiom against any serious distuibance by ordering certain troops from Aberdeen to .proceed to liuntly, and keep the law breakers in order. We regret to see such a movement, because the doiiiinant party in the Kirk will attempt to turn it to their advantage ; and it is an unseemly :Act to settle a . minister of peace in a parish under the protee ti,,n Of a military force: But what can the Government do ? The Non-Im;-u the Whig or Tory Mi nistry, were the aggressors, nail were the first to set ti.e law of the land at defiance. Teachers of the Gospel, men who should, by their example and preaching, lead their people to obey the rulers that be, have done every thing in their power ta.stir them up against the law of the land. They have abused the Judges of the Court of Session, and the Law Lords in the House of Peers, and, when they found their appeals rejected by the highest authorities, they bad recourse to direct falsehoods, by asserting that they never recogni , led their auth or it y .- How, .can the people, who p u t con fid e n c e in the savings and doings of such men, be expe'.ed to 'remain O ct, when thus excited t o o p en re bellion ? \ s'eshall regret exceedingly if any of the THE SUN, LONDON , FRIDAY MORNING, AIARCR 4, 1841.. misguided parishioners have recourse to acts of violence, • and suffer for their imprudence,:. for they : are.not the grezt offenders. . The really guilty parties are the Non- , Intrusionist clergy, who, we regret .to say, have - been countenanced by high authority, both in the law and the Government ; and it is the duty of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, therefore, to 'proceed against the ring leaders and punish them, not their innocent agents, for controverting the laws of the country. The result of the change of Ministry, as regards this violent party, is only what any man of common sense might have foreseen. Lord ABERDEEN, Sir liontra PEEL, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, were not the men to countenance the vagaries of - the wild sect, or show any mercy to those who trampled with savage cruelty on their weaker brethren. The Court of Session was far too lenient towards the offenders, and of this the Govern ment seems convinced. Lord President HOPE only threat ened to " chastise them with *hips." . Sir , JAMES to RA11.131 will " chastise them with scorpions." The movements of Mr. CHARLES DICKENS, and the spot ch of J9IIN QUINCEY ADAMS In Congress, for dis solving the Federal• Union, occupy the attention of the American Press almost to the exclusion of every other topic. Our transatlantic brethren are exceedingly anxious to have it known to all the world that they readily pay to genius that homage which they deny to rank. The distinction is Worthy of them—worthy of a great, enlightened, free people. But though JOHN QUINCEI: ADAMS' speech has created an immense newspaper stir, there does not appear to exist the slightest apprehension that • the Union is in any danger of being dissolved. The friction of the constitutional machinery of the Federal Government rather serves to impress the public • mind that it works well. A row in Congress only lets off the steam, and prevents an explosion, to use their own busi ness form of speech. According 'to the New York Express the AmericanS can rush to the very verge of open rebellion without the slightest danger to the Federal Union, as when there they are always in a hurry to rush back s ' again. Convulsions which would shake a monarchy to pieces would 'not put the smallest spring of the vast machine of the States and Federal Government out of order. " True," observes the , Express, " very remarkably things are now and then done among us. Now and then a num is bowie•knifid on the floor of a Legislative As sembly in some of the new States. Now and then Members of Congress try to throttle each other after a hot debate. Now and then a city mob turn a Speaker out of his chair in a Legislative Assembly ; but the end of the world, after all, is not there, for the people are not moved or shaken by all that. The masses are quiet." This we take to' be a true picture. The riots inthe United States portend no danger to the Union, because the masses are well lodged well clothed, well fed, and have abundance of employ ment. The licentiousness which proceeds from an overfulness of the belly mong a nation is never dangerous to the Government. Individuals' heads may be in danger, but the public and political institutions are perfectly safe—so far as rtvards the masses. It is only when hunger enters into the hearts of a people—when gaunt famine has set his seal upon their thin visages— when the sun rises without hope, and towards setting lengthens the dark shadOWs of despair, that Govern ments have reason to tremble for their safety. But the New York papers quite mistake the feel ing which prevails in' Europe, and especially in - Great Britain, as to the • quarter whence danger to the Federal Union is apprehended. No one here suspects the soundness of the popular heart of the United States. It is the patriotism of the American aristocracy of wealth that is suspected here—wealth, which is producing all the inequalities of social life ob - servable in the oldest monarchic g of Europe. An aris tocracy of the purse may becoMe a more dangerous foe to liberty than aristocracy of blood. Such an aristocracY already exists in the United States, and it is fast extend ing its influence. It is froth this quarter that the great danger is to be apprehended. But that danger is never great while the people keep kicking up dusts about banks, bankruptcy, and Presidents' elections. We th?.re fore quite agree with our "NeW York Contemporaries, that the Federal Union is sa7e so long as CongresS keeps fighting about it, and so supplying an agitating stimulus to the popular mind. The Federal. Govern ment was established on principles which allowed for the wear and tear of opposition friction. The advantages which -our fellow 7 subjects might anticipate, from the total. repeal of . the Coru-lawS, may be partly conjectured 'from the subjoined ex tract. from. an . American Paper, giving an ac count of the labours of a Joint Stock Company to found a city at the confluence of the rivers Ohio and Mississippi, to form -the great emporium of the corn trade with, England. This city, which is with in the territory of the State of Ohio,- and connected with the great . Canada Lakes, is- to be called the city of Cairo, and promises at no very dis•ant period to be one of the finest marts of commerce in the New World. We trust the spirited founders of it will not abridge their htbonrs in:Conequence of the pagsing of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S NW The knell of the Corn-law, has been rung in England,,and in a few years they will be as obsolete as the statutes against witchcraft. In the course of a conversation betlVeen the Hon. and Gallant Member for Marylebone And Sir lionEnT PEEL, a few evenings ago, in the house of Com mons, it wt's contended that wheat could not be brought in less than sixty days from New York. Now we, are convinced that with our excellent steam-boat improvements, grain could be ordered and conveyed to this country from the site of the proposed city of Cairo, in the Gulf of Mexico, in fifty • five days, or say; at the very latest, in sixty. The homeward voyage of a month is still a long one, but the ditficul es are nothing compared with the importation of grain irom Odessa and the ports of the Black Sea. Besides, in a few years, Cairo would open one of the most lucrative markets in the world for British produce. It is not generally known that a Company of English capi. talists pave possessed themselves, in connection with parties in Western America of the delta, or point of confluence of the great rivers Ohio and Mississippi, and commenced building a tow n (under a. most liberal Charter, specially granted fur the purpose by the Slate of Illinois), as the City of Cairo. Its geographical Position is nearly in the centre of ne United States, is open to the sea (via New Orleans), the whole year for the largest class of steamers. Above this point, for two. thirds of the year, the river navigation extends for smaller boats more than twenty thousrnd miles, and the railu a, s and canal projected, and in part constructed by the State, em braciiig upwards of eleven hundred miles in extent, connecting iih the lakes and the Canadas, have their terminus at Cairo City. '1 hus will the vast mineral and agricultural productions of these fertile and immense states of Western America, be carried wholly by "steam power," to this central point "the Odessa of America," and from thence shipped to all parts of the world. Extensive flour-mills, ship and boat-yards, founderies, iron works, saw-mills, and machine-shops, are already in progress, and a part in successful operation; warehouses, dwell lugs, and other buildings and imo:ovements, recossary for the bEnnuns;r Europe, rp e pi s eon s :gt aaa city,nt n i dodn Importations a o aei n r. n eev exports considerably t i o e er s nntedee.osdf otbroad advanced. f o b a nm . a a t estubs,d commercial and mane_ i raencdt provisions,to t h p r alone from will afford an ample return in payment. An increased facility will thus be given to commerce, and open to British and other manufactures, a market by a new and most direct communication with the richest agricultura 'eed siteS tatnefs. portions (and in time will be the m os t p o p u l ous ) o f th e Cairo, Uni Th like that of New Orlea n s, Lyons. in France .' d f St. Petersburgh in Russia, and mans towns in Holland, re quires to be protected from any unusual ri ie of water , by an e mbankment, or level, of several feet. With regard to the practicability and importance of building a city at this com manding position, the report of the English and American en gineers employed by the Corporation is most conclusive ; they say, "We cannot refrain or withhold our surprise, that any doubts should ever have been entertained or acted upon, with reference to the practicability of erecting a city at the con fluence of these great navigable rive - s. Topographically con sidered, the site is nearly to the centre of the United States ; the texture and solidity of the banks at the points is as firm and secure as any other positions for building bet ween it and the rocky formations higher up the streams. It is at the very threshold of the most fertile regions of the west, surrounded by the best timber and bitUminous coal, and from the construction of the great cen tral railroad, and the immense'range of navigable rivers, all centring at this point, it must necessarily have the exclusive advantage of becoming the,great entrepot of all the agricultural and mineral wealth of this great empire of ine.ustry and enter prize. In shunt, there is not in any quarter of the globe a situation so commanding, and replete with every kind of pro duce and materials to promote the prosperity of the merchant, the skill of the mechanic, and the growth of a great city. The parties associated in this great work is the best guarantee that, if money and good management will insure success to the undertaking, this splendid enterprise, promasing so beneficial • results to the country at large, cannot fail also to secure to the ' proprietors the inimeose returns anticipated by the outlay of • adequate capital to render the c'ty what nature intended it should be—the "Emporium of Western America."— American u- Paper. ST. MARTIN'S IN THE FIELDS REFORM AND REGISTRATION SOCIETY. Last night, at nine o'clock, a very numerous meeting of the members of tbeabove Society was held at the Cambrian Tavern, Castle-street, Leicester-square, Mr. H. Pounce y in the chair. Mr. AUSTEN, the Seeretary,brought up the Report, which declared that the Committee had no confidence in the plans of the present Government, and they recommended that the zto ciety should, for the present, refrain from memorialising her Majesty until th e y haa seen what were the financial pans of Sir R . r ee l—when should they not answer the expectations of the country , ;hey would have an additional argument in support of a memorial for the dismissal of the Minister. The Committee then expressed, " 1 hat having re ceived, by special communication from Capt. Rods, a report of his speeeh, delivered in thil Hulse of Commons on the Corn-laws, they declared their indignation at the ase Lion that the most enlightened of the electors of the city of West trinster were declared to be satisfied with the measure brought before the House of Commons by Sir It. Peel, that they solemnly assert such declarations to be untrue, and that they p l e dge themselves to use their best exertions to prevent the re election of Captain Rous at any ensuing contest for the repre sentation of the city of Westminster." The Report was agre ed to. It was r e soly , d that they should be advertised in the The Sun, Advertiser, and Chronicle newspapers. Various Members having been enrolled, among whom was Mr. 'T.

The expected motion by Lord Monteagle, in the House of Lords last night. having been postponed till this night, their Lordships adjourned, after receiving a few petitions, et an early hour. In the Commons, Lord Eliot informed Dr. Bowring that the Irish Popleation Re - turns -would be ready pro bably by the Ist o July ; and Colon e l C on° lly, that he. hoped shortly to lay a 'Bill, on the table for the regula tion of Charities in Ireland. • In reply to some Hon. Member, Si r R o b er t P ee l de clined to 'burden the Government with ;he task of regu lacing the supply of the people's food, or of ascertaining the number of acres under the plough. - These_things ought, he said, to be left to the natural. operation of commerce; though he has just passed resolutions to settle the price of corn, and so to regulate the supply, as well as inter fere with the natural operations of commerce. The man is fast becoming a bundle of contradictions.' The Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion, relative to Exchequer bills, we have elsewhere noti ce d. After a few remarks from Mr. Kemble, •Mr. Leader, Sir Robert Inglis, Mr.' F. T. Barin g , - Mr. Wakley, and Sir Robert Pell, a Bill to appoint aCommission to inquire into the issue, receipt, circulation, and postession of - the forged Exchequer bills, was agreed to without opposition. Mr. French made a motion with a view to secure Par llamentary aid; 'and to promote the f,,rmation of Rail ways in Ireland, and supported it by' :La able speech. The motion was seconded, after;-a: fashion, by Mr. Shaw, but opposed by Lord Eliot, Sir R. Peel, and Lord John Russell, and ultimately withdrawn. Lord Mahon obtained leave to bring in a Copyright Bill without calling forth any discussion. No other business of importance was transacted; 'and at nine o'clock the House adjourns-'. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronith, speaking of -Mr. Duncombe's motion in the subject of prison discipline, says :—" One inci lental good of the discussion, raised by . the lion. Member for Finsbury was to elicit a very striking testimony to the merits of the late Administration. Tic course pur sued for the last seven years in ameliorating, and bring ing to aids uniformity, the regulations of ditlCrent gaols, is allowed by the present'Home• Secretary to have left him nothing to do but to follow in the fOO.steps of his pri decessor. As to the pirty, - this praise partakes largely of the nature of a recantation." The Morning Post thus ineidtmtally alludes to the present political aspect of England :—" In England, at this moment,'our social movements partake, unquestion ably, of a revolutionary character. Class is divided against class ; interest is at war with interest. Mann- Pactures and trade have opposed themselves to agricul ture. The pretensions of capital interfere with the claims of 1 :bout ; while a section of the labouring classes denounce the institution of privata property as the source of all the evils under which industry groans. One political party demands the abolition of monarchy ; another de mands the overthrow of aristocracy ; while a third de mands (as Mr. Roebuck did in the House of Commons last session) the removal of " all social distinctions whatever." - The Herald is of opinion that the proposed diminution of protection on the grnit staple of Irish agriculture will not realize the fears which are entertained in that • island Firstly, because those f -irs are greatly ex aggerated ; and, secondly, because hat diminution will, we trust, by increasing; slightly the pres Sure -on Irish agriculture,: lead to an improved system of husbandry, and increase wheat cultivation.' To give Ireland a mo nopoly of the oat market of England would not ulti mately benefit that country ; a little competition from Danish, Swedish, or Duch oats will, if the ordinary rules of political economy, as exemplified elsewhere, are applicable to the Sister Island, produce industrial results therein of the happiest nature." The Advertiser tOntains the following remarks sug gested by the debate on the HPLCoolies :—" The atten tion of 4113, HO - 113C of Commons was on Tuesday night employed in a discussion respecting the Hill Coolies. We are decidedly o d i? opinion the Government had no right to legislate on this subject without the assistance of Parliament. The question is one in which the coun try is as much interested as on slavery itself; in fact, it is m'close affinity with the late system of slavery—it is over-much like it—the only difference is, that the victims of the tomer .system were Africans, and of the latter are Asiatics."

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The business doing in the .English Stocks to-day, wa s to a fair extent, and there was the same steadiness in priee4. The mercantile community are apparently not much i n etuvenienced by the approaching r ay-day in the Bill world; but there is as usual a vague feeling of apprehension, seeing the badness of the times, that some houses raay give way under the Frowing stagnation. For some time past we have been anticipating later news from Australia, a large number of persons here being interested in the trade and prosperity of those colonies. It is hoped the next accounts will show that the mercantile community are recovering from their embarras ments. Consols for immediate transfer were worth 89A to 89, and for Account 89i to 89g. Exchequer Bills were at an advance to 265. and 295. premium, and East India Bends at 95. to I Is. premium. New Three-and-a-Ilalf per Cents. were 984 to 99, and the Three per Cent. Anpuities 39'7 8 to 893. Bank Stock for the opening was at 172 . East India Stock was at a decline to 213. 'I here was not much general business in the foreign bonds; tl.e Spanish Securities, though a shade better, 24i to beii,g in reality neglected; but: if we look to South Am: rican Stock s alone, we should say there was decidedly a good business doing Many parties are sanguine, too, of a further rise in them, a s the public have been buyers lately, and there is hardly a suffi . .. ciency of the bonds to meet the demand. ' If the public, how ever, would take our advice, they would be cautious in dealing at :II in any such investments. They are at best precarious, and need a constaet surveillance that renders their possession no sinecure. Indeed, it would be a cuff lour calculation to ascer tain the actual amount of wear and tear which the holder of such a fluctuating property must suffer in his constitution during the . year. The Railway Shares were brisk again at full prices. (From The Sun of Last LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 2.-The general tone of the market is unchanged. Cotton is freely offered at previous rates.

By the arrival of the packet-ship United States at Liverpool from New York, which place she left on the 14th -alt., papers of that date have been received. The Money Market at New York was quiet, and with but little alteration since the previous ailvices. The Baas discount sparingly, and appeared deter mined to pursue a cautious and restrictive policy. There was no great demand for money. The importations for the last two or three weeks had been quite large. Foreign Bills were without alteration, the scarcity of money among the remitters nrevented large transactions. On England the rate was 81 to Bi, and on France 5, 284. The fluctuations of Stocks had, with hardly a single exception, been doWnward, and the ten dency was still to decline. State Stocks, formerly a very fa vourite investment, are no longer so, the inability of some and indiTosition of others producing a feeling unfavourable to the whole. 'ne English Securities continue, the transactions during the morning have not been to any great extent. Consols for Money were last done at 891, and fur the Account they may be quoted 89 % ; Reduced 'lhree-and-a- Half per Cents., 991; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 99; India Bonds, 11 prem. ; Exchequer Bills have advanced Is., being now 28s. prem. In the Foreign Market considerable business has been done in Mexican and Colombian Stocks, and the advance is fully. maintained. The former Stock is quoted 371, and the latter 24&, at which prices they are firm. Spanish Stock is steady at 29j. In Portuguese there has been nothing done. Dutch Two-ard-a- Half per Cents., 51/. In the Share Market business to a fair extent has been transacted, and London and Birmingham Shares have made a start from 173 (at which price business was done yesterday) to 180, at which they are official!y quoted ;this morning. Great Western still sustain their improvement, being firm at 90, and New 621 ; in other shares we do not notice any variation. London and Brighton are 36k, ex Loan Notes. London and South Western, 571. As the period approaches for the re-opening of the navigation in the North of Europe, the prospects of the Tallow trade begin to excite more interest. At present, however, there is not any new feature, the demand for consumption continuing good, without any d sposition on the . part of the holders to force sales New Tallow is the object of attraction, as the Russians are still reported to be buying at high rates. Se:- veral hundred casks have been sold here at 495. 6d. per cwt., and at St. Petersburg 136 roubles have been given for par cels to be delivered in August, with 10 roubles hand-money. The quantity of New Tallow, it is conjectured, will tall short of last year. Consols, for Account, 891 %; Colombian, 2412 ; Mexican, 37 1 / 2 :y 4 ; Spanish, 2414. CLOSING PRICES. BRITISH FUNDS.

The reign of Louis the Fourteenth, the longest— and when its influence on the politics and litprature of Eiir* is considered, - the - most rema r k a bl e —i n . the French annals, has yet to be. written. Many rians, both here and on the 'Continent, have attempted the tasit', -but none .have fully succeeded ; not because they had not knowledge or industry enough, but be cause they had not the variety of powers that so com prehensive'a subject demands ; and more especially, because they regarded the period too. triuqi per se, without reference to that which prece d ed it. '.,No his torian is thoroughly qualified to discuss the poligy of Louis the Fourteenth'sreign, who has not made him- Self a perfect - master of the leading features-of Cardinal Richelieu's Administration, and of the principles on which that .Most sagacious, but unprincipled, statesman acted; -which, though somewhat at a stand-still under the government of his wily, timid successor, Mazarin, were carried out in all their rigor by .Louis the Four teenth. By most writers this Monarch has been re garded merely as a showy vain, ambitiOus despot ; but he was much more, than this ; he . w as the shrewd, quiet,. indefatigable,. inflexible, and far • Sighted imitator of -- Richelieu's policy. the • Cardinal commenced and carried on by terror, Loui s brought to a triumphant oonsiumna - - What tion by tact. It was the leading object of Riche lieu's political system to reduce the French aristocracy to a state of absolute dependence on himself ; to give theM no m i na l, b u t not real, authority ; and to raise up the middli ng an d l ower c l asses, b y wa y o f counter poise. Louis, who early in life foresaw all the advan tages that this system would secure to him, embraced it with ardour, tiillowed it out, to its utmost extent, and never once halted, nor swerved from his determi nation, till he had rendered every nobleman a mere cypher in the State, to be ruised up or depressed at his Sovereign will. Leaving the aristocratic body in possession of all such privileges and honours as in no way interfered with his own despotic authority, he jealously deprived them of every shred of political power. But Richelieu pursued: his object by means of intimidation ; Louis, more, astute, adopted ..the, surer and safer methods of • corruption. and cajolery. lle broke down -the fortunes of the noblesse, encouraging the utmost extravagance ; 'he tempted them by bribes and appointments in his household ; he sowed the seeds of dissension among them, and taught them to consider it as the highest.. possible. distinction to figure among the knaves and fools at the Court of Versailles.. Such we:conceive to have been the leading political characteristic-of Louis the Fourteenth's rei.r ' n, and not :its ambitious foreign wars, which were all subordinate to this great purpose. In the Number before .us there is a. clever portrait of this distinguished Monarch, which occurs -in a review of the ."Ilistoriettes of Tallemant des Reaux"—an amusing French gossip who-flourished in the seven teenth century, and has recorded many of the most piquant and scandalous anecdotes of his time. In speaking of Louis, the Reviewer says, " He was pre cisely the man for his hour, and he was nothing more. Without a spark of genius, without shining abili ties of any kind, he possessed just the . neces sary qualities—love of order, activity of mind, and passion for business, graces of person and de meanour, reasonably good sense, and unimpeachable manners?' We object .to nothing in this sketch, but .the expression, "reasonably good sense," which con veys but a niggardly notion of.the statesmanlike saga city which Louis undoubtedly possessed. " Philo sophy of Art" is a rambling, metaphysical article, in which, however, there are some ingenious—though not novel-----reflections on the subject of poetry. The difference • between learning and- wisdom is also adroitly pointed out. In the- observations on the " Poniatowski Collection of Gems," which have lately attracted the attention of artists in no ordinary de gree, the Reviewer intimates his opinion that these gems "are not the authentic , and genuine works of the Greek artists whose names are sculptured on them." Observing, as one reason for the faith that is in him, that " the gems are all uninjured, not a chip •is to be . seen on any of them, no barbarian finger has ever attempted to muti late. one of them ; they are as -perfect as the first hour they left the engraver's hands. To find so extensive a cabinet of antique gems quite perfect, is very singular !" In an article suggested by " The Hand-loom Weavers Report," occur some useful and intelligent remarks on the propriety of providing the humble classes of society with pleasures and recrea tions at the public cost, which, the Reviewer, adds. " are easily provided, and without much outlay of money." The best passage in the notice of " Passa vat-It's Life of Raffaelle," is the criticism , on this un rivalled painter's cartoons at Hampton Court ;" in the justice - of which we cordially coincide. The article entitled " Swisserland," we have not space to en large on, so must content ourselves with reniarking that it will be read- with pleasure by all who take any interest in the present political condition of that country.

It appe rs that an old man, of the name of It obinsoo, a coal dt aler, living at Fries land, two miles from Nottin . !2ham, had been constantly in the habit of attending Nottingham market, and often was in a state of intoxication before the day was over. On Saturday fort night. he, as usual, got intoxicated, and while in that state was decoyed to a very low house near the market., and there a plan was formed to rob him ; and laudanuin was fetched, and large quantities poured down his throat till he was in a state of stupor, and then he was robbed, and put out into the cold wet strett. Some persons passing placed him in a stable, from whence he was removed in the -rnorning, and died very shortly afterwards. A Coroner's Jury sat upon the body, and, after three ad journments, returned a verdict of" Wilful Murder against Ben. jamin Kurd, and his wife, and the girl who fetched the lau danum.iall being involveclin the crime." I On hearing of the man's death, they had, however, packed up all their goods, and left the town; and in spite of the vigi -1 lane of the police to stop them, they have not yet been heard of. Miss Rowe, the daughter of a local missionary at Gloucester, was dreadfully gored by a vicious cow on the Bristo!-road, near that town, last Wednesday afternoon.
