If any unfair opposi tion "etc"etcoffered to the measure he could not help think j,s that such a course would be fatal to the character of -e s Ho use . Mr. MORRISON said he had always thought it inn tulant that our manufacturers should have some pro ection in the arts of design. It was most advis m"'e, he felt, that we should have an English ; at present we were mere copiers of the French. et, at the same time, there were many difficulties in the tu a Y of legislating on the subject. Different manufac it r evs•often purchased the same patterns in France ; and wa s his opinion that the measure should be confined e 4 Zittsively to the designs of native artists. i etv• M. PHILIPS said he was opposed to the priii - C.' ,131* of giving parties a copyright in designs purchased them in France. The purchases were oten made at a berg low price ; and it sometimes happened that the Mme patterns were bought by different individuals. ,_ A Ir.WILLIAMS said he should not press his amend 'eent to a division. The amendment was therefore withdrawn. u n clause 3 being put, WILLIAMS proposed that protection to articles in Fool, glass, and earthenware should be limited to twe lveh, months, instead of three years, as proposed in the 4411.

Eugene Britrauit has just published, fietre; bf the deceased Prince, from which \* inake the fol- lowing extract " the Tousti of the Prince Royal had two phases per feetly diatinct. Before 1530, when far from the throne, he received a most liberal education, such its is test suited to wealthy citizens. It was ftte all that esmplaisance and adulation whiash cannot ever be totally eradicated from courts; and, being public, it. immediately placed the pupil in the midst of the proceedings of so cial life, and initiated him at once into the manners Or the (lay. After 1830, when events bask phicert him on the first step of the throne, his ivy al apprenticeship com menced. But it M.'S strengthened by the vigour of the popular education which he had received, and the second Itset, of his intellectual improvement was directed bi himself with infallible certainty We shell not be sus pected of exaggeration in saying that nature had en dowed him with all that could second this disposition. He was abundantly provided with the most amiable qualities) but what struck every one were his inexhetists iele goodness, his unequalled generosity ; hild his con stant evenness of temper, withotit losing anything of the force of his thoughts slid actions, and the dignity of his demeanour. What astonished most were his exquisite tact, and his keen perception of the exact Icbtittb it was fitting to pursue. His opinions on public affairs had a discreet frankness, from which nothin g t em pt e d him to depart, Few persons, in any rank of life, received so brilliant an education. His mind possessed a certain encyclopedical curiosity, which prompted him to run through with eagerness all the domain of informa tion, and, without pretending to universal knowledge, he had acquired a very considerable range of varied ac quirements. His mode of expressing himself was distin guished for singular facility and elegance, and there were two subjects on which his language rose to elo quence—military glory and the fine arts, He avowed openly his admiration of the beautiful, whenever he met it, without reference to dates or doctrines. His admira tion for the masterpieces of all the great schools was fer vent, but he reserved his encouragement and his libe rality for the generation of artists by which he was surrounded. For young artists he was truly the Prince Royal, and the worthy brother of the Princess Marie, with whom he had so many points in common—Barye, Ary Scheffer, Jules Dupre, Antonin Moin, Louis Cabat, Eugene Delacroix, Decamp, the Johannot, Camille Roqueplan, Louis Boulanger, Klagman, and many others, were constantly ordered to execute works for him. He confided to their talents the embel lishments of his plate, his furniture, his apart ments, his arms, and the details of the opu lence of his station. It was thus that ho became the possessor of the Stratonice of Ingres, and obtained the immortality of her , portrait from that great painter. In a visit which the Prince Royal made to M. Ary Scheffer he perceived two sketches which struck him as well executed. He inquired " who was the artist ?" " A young man full of talent, but unable from poverty to go on with his studies," was the reply. " I will take them," said the Prince, " and tell the young man to call on me to-morrow." The next day, on the young artist appearing at the Pavilion Marsan, he was most kindly received. " Monsieur," said the Prince, " your sketches are excellent. I pay you 2,000 f. for them, and if the price'suits you, bring me two others in a week." For the present state of the arts, the loss of the Prince is immense. He was passionately fond, not of war, but of all that had any connexion with the art of conducting and commanding armies. On this point his studies and trials were indetatigable. Above all other means of suc cess he placed the well-being of the soldier. At the army, he first directed his thoughts to the comfort of the troops ; their encampment, hospitals, transports equip ments, and subsistence, were always the first objects of his care. It has often occurred to him, in his long and laborious expeditions, not to take any nourishment before being sure that no person suffered from hunger. The army were aware of this anxiety, and their gratitude and devotedness repaid him for all his solicitude. Bene volence was in the Duke an innate virtue. His affability and amenity were of the highest order. When encamped in Africa, after seeing that all the wants of the soldiers were provided for, he gave himself up to the most free and delightful intercourse with his officers, conversing with unrestrained gaiety, frequently laughing at his reveries as an artist. His brave and experienced Gene rals. such as Lamoriciere, Duvivier, and Changarnier, cherished their young commander, admiring his vivid and fecund imagination. The scholar of the College Henry IV., smoking his cigar—the young artilleryman of the National Guard of Paris—the lover of literature — and the frequenter of the studios of the celebrated artists —approached him with equal ease. Never can be for gotten the richness and taste displayed at the Pavilion Marsan, where were given those concerts, uniting the most celebrated musicians—those balls, so animated and so splendid—and those historical entertainments, so true, so pompous, so ingenious, and so amusing. Chantilly, and all the other race-courses within the reach of the Prince Royal, were promoted by his presence, his judg ment, and his active exertions. No one was more anxious than he for the improvement of the breed of horses, seeking nothing but utility. Ile it was who founded the bares, or stud-house, at Meudon. He excelled in all bodily exercises. The gymnastics, swimming, and fencing, were his favourite recreations, and he practised them with all who were around him, using towards them the most frank and equal demeanour. Amidst all his manifold avocations, he never failed in any of the duties imposed upon him by his royal and military rank and station, pursuing at the same time in private his more serious studies and avocations ; devoting with scru pulous exactitude several hours of each day to such as claimed a preference. The Prince wrote the history of one of the regiments of the army, which, if we be not deceived, he gave to M. Alexandre Dumas, for whom his Royal Highness entertained a sincere friendship con tracted in his early youth. Dr. Duval, who was the first to reach the fatal spot of the accident which caused the death of the Duke, and who for nearly two hours was alone with him, declares to us that he has seen very few heads so happily constituted. Being on the point of going to the camp of St. Omer, the Prince wore his hair cut very close, so that the protuberances of the cranium could be well and accurately examined. M. Duval says, it displayed the organs of benevolence, veneration, reso lution, justice, hope, and courage—very little selfishness —no vanity—no evil propensities. The most prominent qualities were benevolence and resolution." A Journal of the Vosges gives the following anecdote of the Duke of Orleans : " During their last journey into our department, the Duke and Duchess of Orleans entered one morning a poor inn at a small village near Epinal, and ordered their breakfast, which consisted of black bread and milk for the Princess, and black bread and eggs for the Prince, After this truly frugal repast, which they ate most cheerfully and with good appetite from a table remark able only for its cleanliness, the Duke asked the land lord what he had to pay. Twelve sous,' was the reply. here are eighty francs for you.' But, Sir, you did not hear we. It was only twelve sous I charged you.' The Duke replied that he had heard him very plainly, and insisted on his taking the money. `Ah! mon Dieu!' exclaimed the landlord, you must be the Duke of Orleans, and this fine lady must be your wife. If I had known it I should have spread a cloth on the table, and have given your wife a white bowl!" In compliance with a pastoral letter of the Arch bishop, a funeral service was performed in all the churches of Paris, fur the repose of the soul of the Duke of Orleans, commencing at ten o'clock. A cata falque was erected in the choir of each church, and the high altar was hung with black. Detachments of the National Guard in full uniform, with crape on the arm, attended the ceremony. One platoon carried their arms, the rest wore only their sabres. The guards af honour at the catafalques were composed of national guards and veteran non-commissioned officers. Besides the men expressly ordered on this duty, a considerable number of the national guards attended in uniform. The bands of the National Guards joined in the music of the masses. The civil authorities of each parish and numerous bodies of the citizens, were likewise present. The porch, of the church of Saint-Germain - l'Auxerroils as being the Royal parish, was hung with black as well as the choir, and the catafalque ' which was peculiarly rich and solemn , was surrounded by funeral lamps, and crowned with groups of the national flags veiled with crape. Here, in addition to the National Guards, and the civil authorities, the officers of the households of the King and Princes, the Colonel and Officers of the Muni cipal Guard, all in full mourning, were present. We regret to have to announce the death of Sir Thomas Dalrymple Hesketh. Bart., which took place at his seat, Rufford Hall, Lancashire, on Wednesday . last. Sir Thomas was in his 65th year, and is succeeded in his title and estates by his eldest son by his first wife, now Sir Thomas Henry Hesketh. THE CROPS GENERALLY.--A gentleman of this county, just returned from an extensive tour in the coun ties of Lancaster, Northampton, Lincoln, Rutland, Cam bridge, &c. &c. informs us that, except in a s mall p art of the best corn 'land in Lincolnshire, he never saw such splendid crops as now cover the fields. The grain ap pears as if bursting from the ear, which is very long and large ; and the farmers all say that they never remember when there was so fine a prospect of a good yield.— Cornwall Advertiser. THE MAILS.—We understand, that in compliance with a communication from the General Post-office, the coach proprietors met at Truro on Thursday, the 14 th instant, to consider the proposal of running a second mail coach to and from Exmouth and Falmouth daily, by the direct route through Okehampton, Launceston, Bodmin, and Truro, and that it was determined that from the first of September next, a mail coach shall leave Exeter at 9 minutes after 7, A.M., and arrive at Truro in 9 hours, the distance being 90 miles ; and from thence to Falmouth, about 10 miles, within the next hour. In consequence of thu above arrangement, it is probable that the North mail will change its route, and pass through Camelford, Wadebridge, and St. Columb. The rate of speed proposed between Exeter and Falmouth, allowing for the necessary stoppages, must, we are informed, be 12 miles an hour, which, for so long a distance, is not equalled in any part of the kingdom.—Devonport Independent. S T EAM-FRIGATE.--A trial of the steam-frigate Montezuma, took place on Monday, from Blackwall-stairs to the Lower Hope and back, accompanied by a select party of gen tlemen and others interested in the success of the experiment. The Montezuma is upwards of 1,100 tons, and draws only nine feet water ; she is built to carry on the upper deck two swivel guns (68 -pounders) besides the usual number of small guns. The trial was highly satisfactory, and although the vessel is built more for the purpose of war than great speed, she went at the rate of full ten miles and a half an hour against the tide, both going and returning. During the trip a disconnect ing apparatus, for releasing either paddle-wheel in case of acci dent, was tried, as also a new and ingenious method of using the steam expansively, and both were found to answer the best wishes of the projector. She starts in a few days for some foreign service. The lighthouse on the North Quay at Ayr was destroyed by fire on Thursday morning. It was built of wood, and has faced the storms of nearly 17 years. No cause can be assigned for the occurrence,—Scotsman. THE SUN, , LONDON, WIIDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1842 TOE irtSLEVAN MISSIONARY SOCIETY. A bazaar has for the last few days been held at the Centenary Hall, Bishopsgate-street; for the benefit of the Wesleyan Missionary Seicitiyi In addition }ti display of fancy articles usually exhibited tin these occasions, the bazaar was furnished with supplies of useful clothing, arranged in small lots, fur easy distribation amongst the poor at this season, of general distieSsi 'fhb Wall of one of the rooms is col erect with rare skins and furs, and sundry Curious articles, sent over for the purpose by the Mis sionaries in connexion with the Wesleyan community in every quarter of the globe: Several costly presents froth the king of Ashantee, anti tiiirioFities from the Celestial empire, and elegant hijouteries manufactured at the mission stations in France, adorn the counters of the fair show-women, who are not deficient in the fascinating arts by which the attendants at fashionable bazaars succeed in putting off their wales: ho bazaar is considerably enriched by several rare and curious collections of entomological and mineralogical specimens collected by missionaries in distant c,untries, and scientifically classified and arranged. Amongst the articles that excited the greatest interesti Wert several manuscript sermons and autograph paraphrases of texts of Scripture, by the Rev. John Wesley and his brother Charles. An exquisite minia ture, painted and presented to the charity, by Miss Dut ton, was sold for ten guineas at Mrs. Bunting's stall. It is a faithful and highly finished copy of a likeness of Mrs. Susannah Wesley, the mother of John Wesley. She was the daughter of 1)r. Annesly, one of the most eminent of the Non-Conformist ministers ejected from the Church. Mrs. Wesley was a woman of remarkably powerful intellect, and it is largely to be ascribed to the vigour of character displayed by her in the early disci • pline of her numerous family, under the most adverse eiretunstinces, that the founders of Methodism were enabled to fulfil with such zeal and earnestness their important mission ; and that they, with the other branches of the family, attained a high reputation as distinguished scholars. The sale has been numerously and fashionably at tended, and the articles appeared to find ready pur chasers at good prices; but such was the abundance of the supply, that the managers have resolved to keep it open till Thursday. RIGHTS OF THE ORPHANS OF A FREEMAN DYJNG INTESTATE. The following certificate, signed by all the members of the Court of Aldermen, upon the subject of the rights of the orphans of a freeman who died intestate, was handed into the Vice-Chancellor's Court a few days r go, by the Recorder of the City of London. The question answered in the certificate was argued upon for two days by two gentlemen of the bar on each side : TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR LAUNCELOT SHADWELL, VICE- CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.

Charles Ewan Law, one of her Majesty's Counsel, learned in the law, and Recorder of the said city, that by the custom of the said city, when there are several orphan children of a freeman who dies intestate, the share which any one may take by reason of surviving a child that dies an infant, survives among the other child ren, in case of the death of the party by whom it has come, under the age of twenty-one years, and that if there be an accumulation of interest upon the orphanage share, the accumulation survives in the same manner as the orphanage share.

Sir,-1 have the honour to report, for the information of the Underwriters at Lloyd's, that the steamer Phcenix, Emmanuel Harrington, master, bound from Ereinoh to the Cape of Good Hope, put into Puta Prara, St. Jago, in great distress, having touched upon a shoal at the north-east point of this Island, on the 24th ult., at half-past ten at night; supposed distance from land 22 or 23 miles, and lat. 16 19 North, and lon. 32 26 West. It is also supposed to be the Sunbeam shoal, upon which the Charlotte was lost in April last year. The Phcenix at the time of the accident was under sail, without steam, and drew 11 feet forward and 12% feet aft, and the place injured is at the after part of the keel, and there being but little or no swell of the sea, these facts demonstrate that the shoal in ques tion has more than 11 feet water over it. The Phcenix came here from St. Jage, for further repairs and a supply of coals, which has been obtained, and now pro ceeds to England to make good the damages sustained. Had the Phcenix not been a steamer, she must inevitably have been lost, as the water, before the steam was got up, nearly reached the furnaces. Some fuel, however, being thrown into the fires quickened the action of the steam, and the pumps soon kept the vessel free. As the existence of this shoal appears to be doubted, I beg to mention that this island is surrounded by coral reefs, more or less, and therefore, although a reef could not be found five or six years since, it it can be no reason for doubting the existence of the one in question, as it is well known that coral, in some places, is very rapid in its growth. As far as lam able to judge and to learn, I have no doubt in the existence of a sunken reef, some consi derable distance from the north-east end of this island ; and as it lies in the tract of vessels bound south, I cannot but believe it to be a subject deserving the immediate attention of the Committee of Lloyd's. 1 have the honour to be, &e. Signed by Lloyd's Agent. To Wm. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's. Mem.-The Phoenix has since arrived at Cowes. GOODS SAVED FROM THE SIAM, LOST IN 1839. From a letter from Lloyd's Agent at Batavia, under date the 26th February last, it appears that a quantity of cotton goods, part of the cargo of this vessel (Siam) had been saved and sold, realising about 4001.

EDUCATION AND CRlME.—Taking the whole of the prisoners tried at the late West Riding Midsummer Ses sions, it appears that out of 163 prisoners the degrees of education Were as follows :—Three could only read and write well, forty-two could read, fifty-five could read im perfectly, and sixty-three could neither read nor write. Acid to these sixty-eight prisoners tried at the Sessions for the borough of Leeds, Doncaster, and Pontefract, and liberty of Cawood, Wislow, and Otley, Icon ake to gether 231. Out of this number, four d read and write well, fifteen could read, eighty-eight could read imperfectly, and seventy-eight could neither read uor write,—.l4Zds _EMIGRATION to UPPEtt CANADA. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM b: iiALY TO THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE CANADA toMPARt, DATED STRATFORD, HURON TRACT, APRIL 25, 1E142, Were I to go to Guelph, Etamoia, Nichol, Wool wich, and Puslinch, or Wilmot, I could cite hundreds equally successful with my own settlers. I will men tion one mane in Wilmot, John Ford; he came into Canada in 1831 with a large family of small children; he worked about amongst the farmers until 1833, when he came to me to know if I could allow him to go upon a lot of land in Wilmot without paying an instalment, as the Company required one-fifth upon all lands sold in Wilmot, without exception. I, of course, refused him, but observing his anxiety to get upon land, advised him to come into the Huron Tract, and that he would have a lot; he replied that in Wilmot his little girls could get some employment, for which they would be paid in provisions, which would keep him on his farm, and in this new settle ment he could not expect it. Satisfied of its correct ness, I asked him how much he could pay, and ar ranged it so that he got the lot he applied for. In 1836, about two years and a few months after, I called at a tavern newly opened, and that by the same John Ford. I sat down and had some conversation with him and his wife on the subject of their migra tion' &c. The following I had from their own lips : "We left Aynhoe-on-the-Hill, Northamptonshire, in 1831, and we have reason to bless the gentleman who sent us out at his own expense, viz., W. R. Cart wright, Esq., M.P. We sincerely wish our friends had the same kindness shown them ; we had nothing at home, and could not have existed but for the as sistance we got from the parish ; we, both of us, la boured much harder than we have ever done here, upon very scanty food ; we have often lamented we had children when they were crying for bread, and none to give them ; but we have now reason to be thankful we have them • otherwise we might have re mained in England, and in our old age be a burden to the parish. We have only been in Canada five years ; we have a deed for 100 acres of land, a good clearance, oxen, sheep, and cattle ; implements of hus bandry, a good house to live in, and suitable offices ; plenty of food for ourselves and cattle, and to spare ; our home well furnished, and ourselves and children well clothed ; and we have means to open an inn for the accommodation of travellers ; and what still adds to our happiness is, that each of our children will be comfortably settled without diminishing our own comforts ' • and all this we have obtained by sheer in dustry. We do not stand alone, for William and Benjamin Ekerten, Thomas House, John Rye, John Hall, William Buckler, and James Terry, who came out with us under the same auspices, are equally pros perous." I was so much gratified with their history, that I made a minute of what I have related, and having read it over to them, I asked had they any objection to my making it known to those who were unac quainted with Canada. They said, " No, we wish Mr. Cartwright knew it all, and especially our poor friends and neighbours in Aynhoe-on-the-Hill and all Nottinghamshire." REMITTANCES FROM SETTLERS IN CANADA TO THEM FRIENDS AT HOME. Inquiries having been recently instituted by the Commissioners of the Canada Company regarding the amount remitted home by emigrants to their friends in this country, and statements having been obligingly furnished by the Bank of Upper Canada at Toront.), the Bank of British North America at Toronto, the Commercial Bank of the Midland District at King ston, and the Gore Bank at Hamilton ; it appears from them that the following remittances have been made home by settlers through the agency of the Banks above named: — In the year 1834...154 remittances, amounting to .£1;298 It 1835...206 do. f f 1,708 „ 1836...245 do. 91 2,008 f 0 1837...173 do. ff 1,470 „ 1838...203 do. ft 1,822 „ 1839...252 do. ft 2,132 ?. 1840...365 do. if 3,007 „ 1841. .589 do. 9 I 4,744 f f 2,284 2,455 £20,473 And that in the last eight years no less than 2,455 settlers have been able to send home money to friends, amounting to the large sum of 20,4731., through these four banks alone, in sums of less than 81. 10s. each upon an average, proving that this numerous body of settlers have not only been enabled to sup port themselves and their families in Canada, but that they have been so satisfied of the advantage it will be to their friends to join them (for which purpose these remittances have been made), that they have such ceeded in sending over this considerable sum for their assistance. These statements also show the growing prosperity of Canada, as such remittances have been steadily in creasing in amount ; and so much so of late, that in the year 1841, 580 remittances were made, amount ing to 4,744/. ; and in the first quarter of the year 1842, 268; amounting to 2,2841. ,It has often been stated by persons acquainted with the advantages offered by Canada, that emigrants as sisted to settle in that country could repay any sums advanced by their friends or the public for that pur po:•:e ; a stronger proof of the truth of this statement could hardly be afforded than the information now produced. PAUPERISM IN THE POTTERIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. DEAR Six,--In consequence of the depressed state of trade in the Potteries, added to the recent turn-out of the colliers, the two unions of the Potteries have literally been besieged with applicants for parochial relief. Some of the scenes that have taken place baffle description. The Stoke Union has 1,200 out door paupers on the books, and they are rapidly in creasing. The Burslem Union has 2,000 out-door paupers ; the cooking apparatus not being sufficiently extensive, they feed them 150 at a time ; and last Friday evening the last 150 were taking supper at quarter-past eleven. Yesterday the Burslem out door paupers resolved to have a procession through the Potteries ; they consequently assembled at ten o'clock, marched to llanley, from thence to Stoke, and on to Longton, and returned to Stoke. They then sat down to partake of their Sunday's dinner, in some cases consisting of a very small portion of dry bread ; in others with the addition of a little cheese. The scene was such a one as the oldest inhabitants of this populous district never saw. Tears were stream ing from almost all eyes to see the state to which thousands of industrious, intelligent, and sober work men are reduced ; the people in the neighbourhood, almost as destitute as themselves, supplied them with bread and cheese and water. One shopkeeper, a Chartist, named Thomas Starkey, gave them a quan tity of bread, and 2s. ; another, named Sandhach, shopkeeper in the market-place, gave them half a cheese (I should say 101bs.) and a quantity of to bacco. This was their first meal, at three o'clock. After walking in procession ten miles, Bs. 4d. was given in money, and expended in bread and cheese. They then marched to Hanley, and held a . meeting on the Crown-bank. Two spirit-stirring speeches were made by Messrs. Hamlet Booth and Wm. Ellis, of Burslem. A motion was submitted to the meeting that there be a public meeting of the inhabitants next week, to take into consideration the cause that pro duces the present intolerable and aggravated distress, and to invite all parties to come forward—Whig, Tory, Radical, Chartist, and Socialist, Corn-law Re pealers, High-Churchmen, and humble Ranters. Yours, respectfully, THOMAS Tunstal, Staffordstire Potteries, Aug. 1, 1842. THE CIIINESE CANNON—Four pieces of brass ordnance, captured from the Chinese, and landed at the gun-wharf, from her Majesty's ship Wellesley, on Thurs day last, have attracted numerous visitors, among whom the most Noble the Marquis of Anglesey, Admiral Sir David and Captain Milne, &c. The Noble Marquis was accompanied round the gun-wharf by R. Eaton, Esq., Ordnance storekeeper, and Captain Burnaby, R.A. Two of the cannon are 12 feet in length, 10 in.-4-10 bore, 2 feet 6 inches diameter. One 11 feet 2 inches long, 8 in.-8-10 bore, 1 foot 8 inches diameter—all dated in the year 1627. The inscription on each is as follows: " Dacitate Donome Dedeos da China ;" maker, " Carol F." The small piece is an English made 6-pounder, 9 feet long, dated 1601 ; os it, 4 , Richard Phillips made this piece." We understand he was an armourer in the reign of Queen Elizabeth.—Devonport Independent. GLASGOW DISTRESS.—We regret to state that the distress in and around Glasgow continues to increase ; and that the approaching harvest as yet has only lessened in part an overwhelming number of applicants for relief. This week, up to last night, the soup kitchen has issued 19,146 rations of soup, giving a daily average of 2,735. There are in all em ployed on the relief fund about 1,800 able bodied men; and there are at this moment, besides that number, about 1,300 ap plicants for relief. Of these applicants, not fewer than 600 are females, comprising spinsters, deserted wives, and aged females. The dependents on these 1,300 applicants number 2,600 human beings, forming in all an aggregate of unprovided wretchedness and destitution, which harrows one's soul to con template. Surely nothing more than this simple statement of facts is required to make our wealthy and benevolent citizens, and every comfortably situated person, however humble in station, largely contribute to lessen this huge amount of misery. 1\ °thing but this will save life, and preserve the consciences of those possessing the comforts of life from the canker-worm of self-reproach.—Reformers' Gazette. THE GRAVE OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. — As several paragraphs on this subject have recently gone the round of the newspapers, it may be proper to state, that the iron railing which surrounds the tomb at Dryburgh was put up by Sir Wal ter Scott's family after the interment, and, by Sir Francis Chantrey's advice, a huge mass of granite was intended to be put over the grave, for which he was to furnish a design ; but a variety of pressing engagements, delicat e health, an d, finally, his sudden death, combined to deprive the sanctuary at Dry_ burgh of what might have been expected from the genius of the most eminent of our sculptors. It has not yet been de cided whose assistance shall be asked to carry out the plan, and it must be obvious that the absence of the present Sir Walter Scott in India has of itself occasioned delay.--Edinburgh Courant, PRICES OP CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES, &c. &c. &C.

ABSTRACT of the BANKRUPTCY LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The defective and unsatisfactory state of the pre sent Law of Bankruptcy, has long been matter of general complaint. A systematic reformation of these laws, however, which have regard to such an enormous amount of property in this kingdom, is now being attempted, and an endeavour to have them passed and en - cted by the Lord Chancellor ; to facili tate " tne practice where it was heretofore tardy or irresolute; to lay down sure and certain demarca tion-lines, where before the boundary-rules were indefinite and vague ; and to ensure protection to, and avert inconvenience from, both the bankrupt trader and the party prosecuting,—such appears to be the intent of the new Bill. The following is an outline of the principal clauses : CREDITOR'S BOND DISPENSED WITH.—The first great obstacle to the petitioning creditor in issuing the fiat of bankruptcy against the trader, namely, that of requiring a bond to be given, as a condition for proving his debt and other contingent circumstances, may by the clauses of the present Bill be dispensed with (clause 3), and the fiat be transmitted direct to the Court authorised (4). As a check to frivolous or vexatious bankruptcy suits, it is designed to enact (9) that the single debt of any creditor petitioning for a fiat shall, at the least, amount to 501. or upwards. NEW PARTIES TO BE ADMITTED AS " TRADERS." — All livery• stable keepers, coach-proprietors, carriers, shipowners, auctioneers, apothecaries, market-garden ers, cowkeepers, brickmakers, alum-makers, lime burners, and millers, are to be considered as traders, and consequently subject to be bankrupts. The in decisive judgments given in the reports respecting each of these callings, many of which deny them the qualification of being considered in the light of traders, will, by .this clause, be settled distinctly. Clauses 15, 16, 20, 21, and 22 state various acts which are to be considered as constitutives of acts of bankruptcy. DISPATCH ENACTMENTS. — For, the speedy expe diting and dispatch of a bankruptcy affair, any per son a(Vudged a bankrupt is to have five days to con test the adjudication, and the adjudication may be advertised sooner if he wills (23) ; while in case of his neglecting to proceed with this diligence and effect, thus made incumbent upon him, the parties may re gard him as de facto a bankrupt, and proceed accord ingly without further notice (24) ; also that audits and dividends may be had and made whenever the Court think fit after the time appointed for the bankrupt's last examination (26) ; also that search warrants may be granted for any property of the bankrupt's, reported to be stolen or con cealed (30). PENALTIES ON ILLEGAL BANKRUPT ACTS.—The penalty for any refractoriness, or: drawback, in any shape, of books, property, or - effects is to be made punishable as felony (32) ; while the falsification of any papers or documents (34), or obtaining goods with fraudulent intent within three months of the issue of the fiat (35), is to be regarded and visited as a misdemeanour. CERTIFICATES.—RuIes for the allowance or refusal of the certificate to the bankrupt on his passing, are laid down in clauses 36-42; they are chiefly ordinary enactments ; the fortieth, however, imposes a penalty in the case of a creditor being bribed by a bankrupt not to oppose him, of a forfeiture of treble the amount of whatsoever goods or money, may have been received by the offender. COUNTY COURTS, THEIR POWERS, OFFICERS, &C. — The appointment of Courts in the country, whereby the organisation and working of the new system may be spread over the whole of the United Kingdom in the localities where the bankruptcy occurs, are, in all cases where the fiat is not directed to the London Court of Bankruptcy, to be prosecuted on the spot before parties, and in places authorised (43); copies of these country fiats, however, and their proceedings to be transmitted to the central town Court, and there filed as records (44). The 48th clause respecting bankruptcies which shall be pending at the time of the passing of this Act, is to put an end to the authority of all particular Commissioners then acting in such cases, and to transfer the fiat either to town or country as the Chancellor may judge fit. Further, as regards the administrative country part, sergeants, or barristers, not exceeding ten, may be appointed to sit upon and prosecute fiats as additional Commissioners (50), and also a similar number of Deputy Registrars for the country, according as one or more may be needed for the furtherance of business ; and by clause 66 a Deputy Registrar of Elie Court in London may be appointed to assist any acting party in the country, and so vice versa. Clauses 55 and 58 lay down very definitively the exact jurisdiction of these Courts, which are to be immediately under the rule and governance of the London Court. OFFICIAL ASSIGNEES AND THEIR DUTIES.—The appointment of Official Assignees also for the country, to consist of not more than thirty, chosen from among accredited and responsible traders of the kingdom, together with a specification of their duties, and the liabilities in case of dereliction (45) —the due restriction of their powers (46) the method to be pursued in event of their vacation of office (47)—and their empowerment to act in conjunction with the existing assignees under such bankruptcies, and to whom the latter shall deli ver over all effects, are provided for in the clauses enumerated. A BOLI TION OF JUDGES, CLERK OF E N ROLNIENTS, &C., IN BASINGHALL-STREET.—By clause 54, the office of Chief Judge of the Court of Bankruptcy, and the office of one of the other Judges of the said Court, now held by a Master in Ordinary in Chancery, are to be abolished, and the Court of Review, after the passing of the Act, be formed.by one udge of the Court of Bankruptcy. The -office of Clerk of Enrolments, on vacancy, to be done away with, and his duties supplied by the Re gistrar in Basinghall-street (61), and all warrants to be issuable alone under the hand of a Commissioner of the Court. This Act extends to 22 folios, with schedules ap pended, and is proposed to commence and take effect on the ensuing eleventh of November. We elsewhere insert, under the head " Emigration to Canada," two very interesting documents ; an " Extract of a letter from Mr. J. C. W. Daly to the Commissioners of the Canada Company, dated Strat ford, Huron Tract, April 25, 1842," and an account of " Remittances from settlers in Canada to their friends at bome." Mr. Daly gives an account of a man in Wilmot, John Ford, who came into Canada in 1831, with a large family of small children. This individual, who lived at Aynhoe-on-the-Hill, Nor thamptonshire, was humanely sent out to Canada by W. R. Cartwright, Esq., M.P. At home he and his wife laboured hard, and could not have existed but for the parish. He says, in his simple and affecting lan guage; " We have often lamented we had children when they were crying for bread, and none to give them ; but we have now reason to be thankful we have them, otherwise we might have remained in England, and in our old age be a burden to the parish." In five years time he had a deed for 100 acres of land, a good clearance, oxen, sheep, and cattle, implements of husbandry, a good house to live in, and suitable offices ; plenty of food for his family and cattle, and to spare; their home well furnished, &c. This, accord ing to Mr. Daly, is the case of hundreds. But the most beautiful part of these emigrations is the large remittances to England, for the purpose of enabling their poor friends and relatives to enjoy the same good fortune. In the course of eight years no less than 20,4731. has been remitted by 2,455 settlers, for the above purpose. The remittances, too, are continually on the increase. In 1834 the remittances were 1,2981., ' whereas in 1841 they amounted to 4,744/. It thus appears the remittances for the removal of labourers regularly increase with the number of settlers. lit a country like Canada, a labouring man is a treasure. And if due care be used in sending the emigrant at the proper season, he is almost sure to get on. As the population increases more and more emigrants will be absorbed without inconvenience. These facts are cheering. Labour in England is:too often, as in the case of poor Ford, a drug ; but where there is abundance of wild land labour is all in all.—Chronicle. THE MOORS. — The arrivals from the south, both by land and sea, are increasing daily in number, and the greater part of the northern families are by this time again resident upon their respective properties. We regret to understand that the sport this year will be far short of the last two or three seasons. This result is partly owing to the destruction of the eggs of the grouse from the frosts of May, and partly from the long droughts which followed. There have not been many changes 'in the shooting grounds, in this county, the principal moors having been taken on leases. The following list shows how the leading quarters are occupied this season :—Auchna free, Lord Mexborough ; Dalt and Barrocks, Rannoch, Earl of Mansfield ; Ardverykie, Marquis of Abercorn ; Dalwhinnie, Mr. P. Purcell and party ; Auohlecks and Trinafour ' Mr. Allanson and party ; Bouskeid; : Mr. W. N. Clark ; Glen fernate, Sir John Halkett ; Dalnaspidal, Mr. Crawford and party ; Balnaguard, Sir P. M. Thriepland ; Glentruim, Sir John M'Kenzie ; Newton Moors, Sir Robert Pigott ; Glen bruar, Mr. Boyd and party; Kerrachers (Glen Tilt), Captain Duvaux ; Strenphadrick, Mr. Hay of Lotham ; Kinloch, Mr. Fox Mauls ; Glenquech, Mr. Labouchere andparty ; Rannoch, Messrs. Laverock and Barton; Grantully, Earl of Lauderdale and Sir George Warrende r ; Spittal of Glenshee, Hon. Mr. Ponsonby and party ; Logiealnumd, Colonel Paterson. The Dowager Duchess of Bedford antifamily return this year to the Doune of Rothiemurchus, where they expect to be shortly joined by Lord and Lady John Russel—Perth Courier. LoNGEvaTT .—Mr. Nagle, of Ballinatnona , Castle, county Cork, writes as follows to•the editor, in the last number of the Southern Reporter :.--tf Lthink' you will not have objection to i nser t i n y o ur next publication the deathof yesterday, of Cl gd _ o a any v h e e r r, y old man, my pound-keeper, on part of the la n ds near Doneraile, named Louis Wiwi-6died am. He yesteray, at the age of 118 years and sisvettnnonths. He was married to his first wife more than Mt,' years, and had no offspring. He had a son, a fine boy, and very like the father. From his great age I have given him his hous married a second wife at t he a g e. of IG9 years, by whom he has andprolonged w hich made him comfortable years rent free, e ind the parish pound many , his life. He never lost a toothotor had he a grey hair on his head." 4( NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL.' The _Princess Metternich gave a soiree, . for the . purpose of enabling us (Lord and Lady Londonderry) to hear Thalberg, the famous pianiste. At this party. I enjoyed a long conversation with Metternich, rela tive to an old and common friend of ours ; alas, for his country and the world, now nO More !—I nbean the celebrated Chevalier Von Genz. Eleven years Ambassa dor at Vienna had made me intimately acquainted with his singular abilities ; and Metternich repeated to .me, once again, what I had often hebrd him say before, that he never knew a man, and believed none ever ex isted, who possessed such intellectual powers, and such facility and felicity in giving expression to them. Is it not then passing strange, that this profound genius, this subtle politician, this phoenix of literature and composition, should have died actually from an over whelming excess of the passion of love ; and this, too, at an 'age when nature cools down the passions, and bids them subside ? for he was near four score.; yet so the case stands. He imbibed a maddening attach ment for Fanny Ellsler, the Vienna danseuse, tiwn more partially known, but of late conspicuous both in England and America. Her early charms and fascinations turned the philosopher's brain. His ha bits of business wholly ceased ; and, on Prince Metter nich observing an d reasoning with him upon this change, Genz assigned, as his formal excuse, " that he had been so thunderstruck with the result of the days of July, that, from that moment, he had given up Europe for lost, and was convinced that no effort could save the world from anarchy and confusion ; and, therefore he ceased to occupy himself with State affairs." Metter nich argued with him, "that , in proportion as greater dangers arose, so oug ht men of capacity to rise more energetically to the combat." But Genz then more candidly avowed, " that he had abandoned himself entirely to one engrossing feeling ; he proclaimed it ; he gloried in it ; he was fondly, I),assionately, despe rately, eternally, in love ; and had only that exis tence and that deity." On this opera girl poor Genz lavished large sums of money ; and, whilst exhibiting his partiality, contracted debts, and ultimately died, hi penury and wretchedness. It is due, however, to this enchanting creature, Fanny Ellsler, to say, that she behaved , Very kindly toand seemed vain of having subdued and attached a person of such high . and undoubted g enius. Prince Metternich related .. also, that he was with hiS friend a few hours before he breathed his last ; and that this individual, who was prover bially known to be so timorous that he dreaded his own shadow, nevertheless, by the force of the one predominant feeling, died with the greatest calm ness and courage, declaring he embraced death as a relief from the devouring passion that consumed him. lie thus departed, at the ripe age of four score, .a victim to the affections !* Genz left behind him some beautiful sentimental letters, in manuscript, addressed to his fair Duldhiea, , breathieg feelings stronger, perhaps, than ever were penned before. I could not obtain copies.—Marquis of' Londonderry's Censtaidinolle, 6-e. v., THE SPIRIT Or .'76 IN RHODE ISLA2►D.—D IIIIII g the recent rebellion, a man belonging to one of the country brigades, lagged behind his regiment, d finally returned to his family. " Aent you going with the troops ?" says his wife. " Why, no, my dear, I yhink on the whole it is my duty to stay and protect ytV,'' replied the husband. " Well now,' says she, " I can tell you just 'what it is ; either you or I have got to go with Gov. King's men, against Tom Dorr's rebels. If you are not going, give me your breeches 1" He went. GREAT RAILWAY TRAIN FROM LIVERPOOL TO LONDON.—it having been announced by placards and otherwise cleat there would be a railway trip from Li verpool to London and back for 285., to start on Mon day the Ist of August, and return on the following Thursday ; tickets to the number of 1 , 000 were issue d and immediately bought_ up ; and the trains consisting of 30 carriages drawn by i;ne engine, and 22 drawn by another, started at six o'clock on Monday morning from the Edge Hill station for ileir destination. THE WEATHER AND THE CILOPS.—The weather has been splendid since our last, and the appearance of the crops is improving daily. The harvest has com menced very generally in the south. and a few oats have been cut in Cheshire and Lancashire. In about ten days more the cutting of wheat will become general in this neighbourhood. The crops of all kinds are very pro mising.—Liverpool Times. SOUTHAMPTON.—The gentlemen selected by the Li beral party to contest this borougli , are Mr. G. Thompson, the eloquent opponent of slavery, and the associate and friend of all the distinguished philanthropists in the kingdom; and the Hon. Mr. St. John, the son of Lord Bolingbroke, who, in point of talent, is not unworthy his illustrious ancestor. A more fortunate selection could not have been made; George Thompson is well-known , and exceedingly popular in this town. The noble assis tance he afforded the inhabitants in supporting the right of free discussion during the Corn-law Conference, against the dictum of the Graham Magstracy, has ex cited the greatest admiration amongst all classes for his character and talents. The motto of the Liberal party will be " Purity of election." The New Bedford Bulletin says, during the em bargo of 1809 there were lying at the wharfs in that town, decaying, 57 ships, 23 brigs, 28 schooners, and a gun boat. These we count pretty hard times, but those ' were decidedly harder, if any comfort is to be derived - from that.

PICQUETING" A COTTON-MILL.4—FOF the last few days the mill of Messrs. Gardner and Bazley, cotton spinners, Water-street, has been " picqueted" by a large body of unemployed operative cotton-spinners, about. 200 in number, who parade up and down Water-street, in front of the mill, from about five or half-past five in the morning, when the hands are going to work, and re main till nine, staying over the breakfast hour, and till the workpeople are again in the mill. The piquet then departs till about twelve o'clock at noon, when they again visit the neighbourhood of the mill, and parade backwards and forwards till about half-past one or two o'clock, by which time all the hands have resumed work after the dinner hour. The picquet then march away, but return to the place about six o'clock, and remain opposite the entrance to the mill till all the hands have- left, which is generally about half-past six o'clock ; but on Thurs day evening, the picquets kept their post till about eight o'clock, parading up and down. They do not appear to have used or threatened violence towards any of the hands ; nor have we heard of any attempts to induce the spinners in the mill to leave their employment.. Indeed, from what we have heard, that would not seem to be the object of the picquet. It seems that since a turn-out, which occurred in 1829, through the interference of the Spinners' Union, Messrs. Gardner and Bailey, have de clined to employ any spinner who is a member of the Union ; and the object of the picquet would seem to be to compel or induce the hands in the employ of the firm at this mill—about four hundred, we believe-- to join the Union, and, of course, to help to main tain all the Unionists who are unemployed. There is not the slightest difference between Messrs. Gardner and Bailey and their hinds ; they con tinue working as usual, subject only to the tinily visits and inspection of the picquets. Though, as we have stated, the latter do not offer any direct violence or threats to the hands, and only use that sort of intimida -1 tion which must naturally affect many individuals of timid disposition, from the presence of a great numberof men, collected together for a common object, yet the assemblage of two hundred men in a public thoroughfare for two hours together, of course excites a good deal of curiosity and inquiry, and at times a consid erable crowd is collected. With a view of protecting t he hands from any actual violence, five or six of the boro u g h p olice have been stationed in Water - street , w here the y remain all day, not interfering with the " picquets," but watching their proceedings.— Manchester Guardian.
