Such an example will h thp Without due effect. It will excite all the branc r e Porno of Family, even King ERNEST, tc l pal ti o rd ve etts.

The icheme of Sir ROBERT PEEL will not do, and it is best betimes to look out for another. The double debate on Tuesday on the Scotch Church erminated, as we anticipated, in the total defeat of the ion-Intrusionist party. The Government, after a long tnd ominous silence, have at length spoken out in a way that cannot fail to be understood by the dominant sec ion of the Kirk, and announced their firm determination o enforce the law of the land against that new scheme of tiscipline and persecution called the Veto Act. This nmouncement will cheer and console nine clergymen who cave been deposed or excommunicated for following the lictates of their own conscience, and obeying the com mands of Scripture, as well as the laws of their country. 'he remarks of Sir R. PEEL on the state of the Scotch !hurch are just and benevolent. No Minister under the !rown is so well acquainted with the working of that !xcelleat establishment: he distributed the Crown pa ;ronage for a long series of years, and had ample oppor tunity of witnessing the blessed effects produced by ,he moral and religious teaching of the poorest but nquestionably the most useful body of Clergymen in ;hristendom. It was impossible, therefore, he said, Jr any man to lament more deeply than he did ter present condition. " He had during the period vevious to those unhappy dissensions contrived so to :onduct his relations with the Church of Scotland, that he whole tenour of his official career had been one of uninterrupted harmony, and that recollection made him 'eel more deeply grieved at the occurrences which had ;ince taken place." Every friend to Scotland sympa lases with these benevolent feelings, when he contrasts ter present •condition with that of former tim:s. Daring that period," said Sir JAMES GRAHAM, " the ,y-stem exercised by honest and upright ministers had ►roduced the most salutary influence on the character, norals, and habits of the people." What is her condi- Lion now ? A state of actual warfare; the fa:her divided tgainst the son, and the mother against the daughter ; ,ne-half of the holy ministers of religion at dire hosti ity with the other—the people allowed no rest—the pul pits desecrated by violent harangues, suited only to re- , volutionary assemblies, and utterly disgraceful in a place of worship ; many of the most venerable fathers of the Jhureh deposed, or threatened with deposition, and the people themselves instigated both by the example and the precepts of their teachers to rebel against the law of the land. Perhitps a more complete .moral Disorganisation was never exhibited _in civilised corn-, :nunity. And all for what ?--Not the good of the great )(Ay of the Christian people, but the aggrandisement of .i certain number of clergymen who, covering their own love of power and dominion under the cloak of religion, have thus thrown the wink of ScoCand into confusion. We therefore rejoice that Ministers have come to the firm determination how to act, and have left no hopes of suc cess to these revolutionary agitators. Their violence must be repressed, and they must either obey the law, or walk out of the State Church. The Government have not taken up their ground without sulfizieut reason. The sentiments of the Tories (excepting, always, the Duke of ARGYLL and his nominee); of all men of Liberal prin- ciples, and of all the writers in newspapers (with an ex ception only confirming the general rule), are decidedly opposed to the heartless persecutors who deposed the ministers of Strathbogie. It would be impossible, in the whole history of polemical warfare, to find such wondrous unanimity. The division of Tuesday is in unison with public feeling. Sir R. PEEL, therefore, has only one course to pursue. Let him enforce the law of the land with jus tice and mercy ; let him protect the persecuted, and punish the guilty, and he will find himself supported by all wise and good men in his holy purpose of restoring peace and unity to the afflicted Church of Scotland. A second conversation took place in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, on the alleged scandalous con duct of the Protestant chaplain of Salford gaol towards Roman Catholic prisoners. The chaplain, the Rev. Mr. 13.4.GmAw, in a letter to Sir R. PEEL, denied that he had preached controversial sermons in the gaol, or that he had insulted Roman Catholic prisoners on account of their religion, or prevented them from being visited by clergymen of the Romish Church. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, to whom the country is indebted for bringing this sub ject before it, read a letter in the House of Commons on Tuesday night, from the Rev. Mr. M'CARTHY, a Roman Catholic clergyman, to whose mural worth Mr. O'CoN NELL bore testimony, re-asserting every charge against Mr. IL.OSHAW made by the Prisoners, and offering to prove them on oath to the satisfaction of a Committee of the House of Commons. Now, without wishing to pronounce a decided opinion upon this particular case, we think the attention of the religious public may be very profitably directed to this question. We regret to state, of our own kr.owledge, that priests are over fond of preaching controversial sermons, to the disedification of true piety and the ex tinction of Christian charity. We have known many such priests of different creeds, and we always looked upon them as the worst and foulest libellers of the Gospel, and the veriest pests of a Christian community. We know of no offence for the punishment of which we would sooner revive the stocks and the whipping-post than the preaching of a controversial sermon i❑ a gaol. The French Journals still dwell upon our disasters in Afthanistan, which they-predict are the forerunners of the downfall of our empire in India. We have so often heard such predictions that we care as little a'.out them as we do about the Monk . of Dree's prophecy et' the swal lowing of London, and the inundation of France. Our Gallic Contemporaries • may spare themselves the trouble of further surmises. Our Indian Empire would not be a jot less safe were every British soldier in Afrghanistan on the other side of the Indus. It is not in Cabool that our power in India can be stricken down, although we are ready to admit that reverses there are calculated to injure our commercial intercourse with the whole of that region of Central Asia. But our reverses even there are capaNe of being repaired, and will be repaired in spite of all the predic tions of the French press. When we leave Cabool for the last time, it will not be with a tarnished flag or a sallied reputation. There will be no permanent occupa tion of the country on our part, We do not, and V`k,';',, Aftit,W , • , i" -- - -..._, 4, , , 11' k .., 1 4 ---...f. '7 -, ,C4" -, - m 0 ,, ~, ~,,,',,--i it i , .

Every business transaction into which they enter is profit able to the Exchequer, however ruinous to themselves. But, perhaps, no class . of tax-payers, included in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S project, would deserve to be more the objects Of a generous commiseration than . those with incomes amounting to,or. little exceeding) 501. a year, earned in the counting- house or at the writing desk. With no sustenance for sickness, no provision for old age, but the pittance which they can contrive by the most frugal and self-denying economy to save out of their hard-earned income, those persons are deprived of every hope of escaping the workhouse by the operation of the income tax. Nor is this to them the keenest suffering. Their habits of prudent economy, and strict integrity in their dealings, enable them, for the sake of their families, to . assume an ap pearance of wealth which they .do not possess, and the first operation of an income tax is to expose their honest poverty to the unmitigated scorn and contempt of their richer neighbours. Let it not be said this is an evil, where moral worth, even among rela tions by blood, is rated by wealth. We must not forget that in England a respectable family means a rich one ; and that the consolations of a good con science to the man whose family is ruined, are an offer of Heaven which human Governments have no right to presume to make. The laws of society are laws for the direction of human legislation. Among the communications addressed to us of a. really important character, is one from a gentleman of great experience in financial affairs, which takes Cor its basis the principle laid down in The Sun of yes terday, that an income tax, if established at all, ought only to affect the surpitiS income over and above 1491. 19s. 114 d. a year. We think the rate of tax which he proposes too high to begin with ; but were :he scale to graduate properly, we have litCe doubt that a larger amount of taxes would be raised by his clan than by the project of the Government. Our L:orrespondent says,— According to the proposed tax the circumstances of he individual are imperfectly considered, and regard s had merely to the absolute value of the income. Eiut the true relative value of an income must ob iously be its possible capability of accumulation, tnd it is only on this principle that incomes under [5O/. per annum can be fairly exempted from the ope ration of the tax, it being presumed that persons pos ;essing this income are not able to lay by any surplus seyond what may be necessary to meet unforeseen lomestic exigencies. It would be more equitable to rate the tax on the amount of income, first deducting 1501. as a part free from taxation. Taking the rate of five per cent. upon this plan, the taxes would be as follow : Income. Liable to Taxation. Amount of Tax, Sir Hobert Peel's Tax at ITtiree per Cent. THE SUN, LON DON, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH_ 17, 1842 never did want it. lint there must and will be an ex action of suitable reparation for all the injuries which we may have received since the commencement of AKTIBAR KHAN'S rebellion. The Presse states that the friendly professions of the British Government are so little cared for by the Ca billet of the Tuileries, that the answer made to them by the French Minister of Marine is a Royal Ordinance for improving the naval .force of the country. Lord 'ABER DEEN'S blunders are creating a very bad impression in France. People will soon , not care for what he asserts in the House . of Lords. The lie direct is now commonly given to him by the Ministers of• France and Spain. If Sir RonEnr PEEL proposes to stay much longer in office, he must endeavour to rid himself of the Noble Foreign Secretary. The Presse has another ar ticle, three columns long, recommending France to set aside the Treaty of 1831, for suppressing the Slave Trade. We expect next to see articles, invoking the re viral of that inhuman trfiffic, under the protection of the French flag ! The city of Nantes has been remonstrating for these seven years against the differential duties on the importation of to reign coals; it has just addressed a petition to the Chambers, for the purpose of having those duties altered. At present the duty is 33 centimes per beet olitre,in the port: beyond Sables n'Olotioe ; 55 centimes in the ports between Sables d'Uonne and Dunkirk ; 11 centimes on the land frontier between the Sambre anti the Rhine; and 33 centimes between Dunkirk and the Sambre. Nantes is thereto ain the most unfavourable zone. These differential duties were calculated with the idea of ex cluding, to a certain degree, English coals, and to equalise the price of them at: all ports of the French coast. But events have shown that the calculation was erroneous, for th's price of the freight between Newcastle and Mar seilles is lower than between Newcastle and Rouen. or Nantes. The difference in favour of Marseilles at the end of January last was 25 per cent. The importat on of foreign coals at Nantes has greatly increased within a few years. In 1834 no more than about 11,000 metrical quintals were im ported into Nantes; and in 1841 the importations amounted to three hundred thousand quintals. hi 1834 fourteen ships, laden with English entered the port of Nantes ; in 1841 the numbv of ships was 213, five-sixths of the quantity was im ported by French ships. The increasing wants of the city a• e al. most exclusively supplied by foreign coals. The departments which might supply Nantes remain stationary with respect to the quantity of coals produced br them. The departments 4f the Maine and Loire, and of the Loire Inferieures do not produce above 200,000 quintals each, yet the quantity produced in France is quadrupled ; in 1808 it was 7,000,000 quintals, in 1840 it exceeded 28 millions. Yet, notwithstand ing this general increase, Nantes continues to import more and more coals from abroad, because the incomplete state of the means of communication, and the distance from the great coal barns ( for instance, from the mines of the Upper Loire, or those of the North of France), prevent it from having its supply from them.

With the exception of a few more observations on the last accounts from 1 udia, there is scarcely anything of the slightest interest in the original columns of the Paris journals. The Constitutionnel, alluding to the disasters in India, expresses its regret at the great loss of human life with Mhich the retreat of the British troops was attended, but adds that the lesson is an useful one as a check upon the inordinate ambition of England. The Courrier Francais merely observes on the energy dis played by Sir Robert Peel on this occasion, which is, it says, entitled to general praise. The National thinks the sun of British greatness is setting, for, says this journal, England is isolated in the world ; Russia is straining every nerve to embarrass and weaken her; her alliance with France is at an end ; her empire in th • East is tottering, and she is wasting her strength in a hopeless war against China. The accounts from the French coast of the disasters occa sioned by the storm of Wednesday night a-e distressing, but those from Granville the most so. Here, upwards of twenty fishing vessels were driven from their anchors. Five were east on the rocks, and totally wrecked with all their cargoes ; five were driven on to the oyster-beds ; and others, though by incredible exertions they were got into the harbour, sus tained great damage. The amount of the loss is estimated at 3007000 f. A great . number of the sailors are missing. Some are known to have been drowned, and others have sustained severe injuries. Upwards of 3,C00 persons were engaged next morning along the shore, exerting themselves in collecting such dead bodies as were thrown upon it, succouring those who were still alive, but injured, and endea vouring to save as much of the wreck as possible. The old port of Granville has suffered great damage from the tempest. Several small vessels have been lost at the mouth of the Seine, and an English schooner, the Margaret, Captain Ccrrie, was wrecked near Havre the same night ; but the crew, six in all, were saved. Several small vessels have gone on shore to the east and the west of Calais, and among them the English collier brig Minerva, Captain Janny, for Guernsey. The crew were saved. A French lugger was lost with all her crew. At Boulogne several small vessels have been wrecked, and it is believed that the loss of life - has been considerable. It is re ported that an American three -masted vessel, name unknown, has been totally lost with all on board. The Madrid Gazette, of the 7th, contains a Circular letter from the Minister - of 'Justice, ordering the seiiure and de struction of all copies of a work on the t.

P.A.I %LriLDIM2VT.B.ILY, The Lords did not meet last evening. In the Commons, Sir Robert Peel stated, in answer to a question from Mr. Milner Gibson, that the proposed income tax would extend to all annuities or salaries received by any of her Majesty's subjects, sod that ad annuities chargeable on the Consolidated Fund would be subject to the reduction. The Right Hon. Baronet then announced her Majesty's vo luntary determi ni ti on to subject herself to a similar reduction. The announcement was received with loud checis Mr. Ricardo gave notice that on Friday he would ask Sir R. Peel whether the tax was ,to be levied on terminable an nuities.

A meeting of postmasters took place on Tuesday at the Free masons' Tavern, at which the grievances relating to the tax on carriages, and the heavy post-horse duties were made the subject of memorial to the Treasury, and a deputation was ap pointed to wait on the Chancellor of the Exchequer. AGRICULTURAL. At a meeting of the Horticultural Society held on Tuesday, there were distributed cuttings of an apple called the Sunbury beauty, a fruit very little known, hut much like the golden pippin, and of excellent flavour.

Tuesday three gentlemen waited on the Lord Mayor at the Mansion-house to complain of a very extraordinary species of swindling to which no doubt. many executors daily fall victims. In the case of the deceased parties the swindlers have been in th e habit of going to Docters'-commons, examining the will forging the name of the decea se d to i t, and suing the xe taking clown the names and addresse s o f t h e executors, draw einacubtiolir's for the amount. Tie Lord Mayor expressed him self determined to investigate any such of these eases rigorously. Richard Jenkins, a well-dressed young man, was on Tuesday charged at Marlborough-street, on suspicion of being conzerned in the jewel-robbery at Mrs: Marshatn's, Berkeley -square, to the amount of about 4001. The evidence being at present in conclusive, he was ordered to be remanded for a week.

SlR,—Deerning your invaluable Paper a clian lel more likely than any other of the daily press o disseminate extensively and generally one of he best speeches that has . been uttered in Par- .. ___ ... _ .._. (lament on'the all-important subject of Taxation and the Corn-laws, I beg in give ' from my own written memorandum, the speech of Earl Fitz william, on Monday night last, following the read ing by Lord Brougham, of the Resolutions he , since submitted to the House of Lords. "Lord Fitzwilliam said, that he was about to pre sent a petition upon a subjeOt which some of their Lordships might consider as settled, but which he considered as only just submitted to the practical consideration of Parliament. The petition proceeded from Kettering, in Northamptonshire, a town which, though to a certain extent manufacturing, was ex posed to powerful agricultural influences. The real struggle for the repeal of the present C orn -l aws ap peared to Lord Fitzwilliam to have only just com menced. On the first day of the Session he had expressed his gratitude to her Majesty's Ministers for having called the attention of Parliament to that subject, and he . now repeated the expression of his th inks for the measure Which they had proposed. He considered it an improvement of the existing system—a small improvement indeed ; a step in the right direction, though but a trifling instalment of that great debt which the Landowners of England owed to the rest of their countrymen. Though it was a step in the right direction, he regretted that the measure was not likely to be final, as the prolonged agitation of this question was exceedingly injurious to all the classes connected with the land. Lord Fitz willi am added, that as hii Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Brougham) had given notice of a motion on the Financial Scheme which had been proposed, he would express his satisfaction that it was to be thus brought under their Lordships' consideration. Of parts of that plan he approved,---of others he disap proved ; he approved of the intention to raise a reve nue from the profits of land, or, in other words, from realised property, but he did not approve of the duty on the profits of the tenantry, and still less upon the income derived from trades and professions. He was astonished at the proposal, for, when the distresses of the manufacturing and commercial classes were so great and so indisputable, as to be made mention of in the Queen's Speech, he was utterly surprised at the endeavour to raise a revenue from the profits of those classes! Those profits had, in truth, little or no exist ence, and the imposition of a, tax upon them could' have no other effect but to depress them still more, and to • throw an additional obstacle in the way of their revival." Lord Fitzwilliam presented a great number of other petitions, praying the repeal of the Corn-laws. The readers of The Sun cannot fail to appre ciate noble and patriotic expressions such as the above ; nor will you, Sir, I am sure. refuse doing me the kindness to g i ve them circulation in y o ur truly patriotic,paper.

CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Owing to the anxiety of parties to realize the advance of yesterday the quotations *1 the English Funds are not quite so good. 'Ole market, however, was very firm, and closed with every appearance of the present pricee being maintained. The am'•unt of unemployed capital is large, and will shortly be further increased by the payment of the April dividends; and aftet the losses incurred by foreign loans, and the extreme de preciation in the value of American Securities, scarcely any other opportunities offer for investment, except our own stock and undertakings in this country. Consols left off at 893 89-i foe Money, and ill% 90 for the Account. On the 14th April Exchequer Bills 29 to 31 prem. The depression which affected the Foreign Funds in the middle of the day, was recovered just previously to the close of business, and the quotations remain as yesterday—Portuguese Five per Cents, 34k 35 ; the Thre e p er Ce ;; ts., 201- ; Colom bian, 26127* ; Spanish, 25 to 25k ; Mexican, 42 to 424. This is the last official price, but, after the Market shut, some busi ness was tranacted at 41 to 414, or a dividend of one per cent. . Railway Shares continue firm in price, although the pur chases have been limited. Birmingham were 85 to 854 ; Great Western, 27 28; the Half Shares 14 to 14k prem. ; Birming ham and Gloucester, 56 to 58 ; South Western, 59 to 60 ; Go , port, 59 to 60 ; torth Midland, 70 to 72; the New Shares, 34 1 /., to 35%; Blackwall, 35i- to 36; Brighton, 354 t o 36 per - share ' • South Eastern, 22 to 21%; Eastern C oun ti es, 13 4 to 123 q discount. Some of the " innocent" holders of the spurious Exchequer Bills are beginning to be fearful of what their position may be under the Commission. This apprehension arises from a ru mour that two gentlemen are about to act, who are well-known to be most unlikely to neglect the duty entrusted to them, but that from their long experience, every transaction Ain be most thoroughly sifted; many 6f which it is conjectured will not bear a very strict examination, and alloW the parties to retain the appellation of " innocent." (From The San cf Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 13.—The sales were on a very moderate scale, but without change in prices; the quantity sold was about 2,500 bales, including 300 Ame rican for exportation. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH I3.—A good demand existeol for Shares, and Great Western were particularly in request. Prices were steady, and the , following sales took place :—Birmingham, Quarters, 36; Eastern Counties, De bentures, 10 1-3 d ; Ditto, N ew , 38 1-6th ; Midland Coun ties, 81k ; Ditto, Q uar t ers , 203 ; North Midland, Halves, 35; Great Westerri, 90_; Ditto, Halvei, 63i. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 15.—The Market remains steady without much business doing. London and Brighton 35*, ; Manchester and Leeds Quarters, 4/. Is. 3d. Manchester and Birmingham, 28k to 29 ; Bank of Manchester, 31. 7s. 6d. Demerara papers to the 31st of January have been received by a private ship. The late differences between the planters and labourers were nearly arranged, and the greater proportion had returned to their work. '1 he owners of the estates were determined nut to pay rates higher than tho se agree d upon at th e l a t e meet i ng , an d to remove such negroes as would not comply with their terms; This is not to be regarded as a harsh measure, since, on acccunt of the scarcity of labour, it had been actually necessary to pay any sum that might be asked, in order to insure even a partial cultivation of the property, which the lately emancipated slaves were not slow to take advantage of ; and the price of pro duce having fallen considerrbly, almost the whole of the proceeds were absorbed in labour. In many instances, had not a saving been effected in this item the property must necessarily have been abandoned. As a procf that the rates were exorbitantly high, it is stated that many negroes had saved sufficient to purchase among them several estates, and had located themselves upon them, obtaining a subsistence by cultivating their portions. About six estates have thus been disposed of, and for one eo,t 00 dols. had been paid in cash. These papers contain a melancholy statement from St. Helena, to which island, negrcwas„ which may have been taken in slave vessels are *Conveyed, until an opportunity may offer to send them to the various colonies. The whole number thus landed between June 1840, and December, 1841, had been 2,738, of whom no fewer than 1,118 had died, and at the end of the year 1,435 remained unplaced. It is satisfactory, however, to be able to state, that the most recent intelligence from the Cape of Good Hope mentioned that these poor creatures were to be divided bet wet n that colony and Bri. fish Guiana, and that ships were to be immediately de spatched for such of them as were intended for the Cape, the inhabitants having raised a fund among themselves, to guarantee the Government against any expense which might be incurred in the transmission. The closing prices of the English funds yesterday were not maintained, although the market may be stated to be good, Consols being 893 891 for Money, and 89i 90 for the Account, which are a fraction lower. The New Three-Ind-a-Half per Cents. 995 1. India Bonds 10 premium. Mehequer Bills remain at 295. to 31s. premium. Speculation in Foreign Stock is still going on, but it is necessary that the public should not be misted by the advanced quotations, which have been raised solely on.aceount of the im proved state of the English market. Should Consols decline, the fall here would be more than proportionately great. Mexi can continues the favourite, and has been as high as 423, but is now 414 to 42 ; Columbian 27 to 275 ; Buenos Ayres, 23 ; Peruvian, 173 for Money, and 173 to 185 for the Account ; Spanish 255 255 ;Portuguese, 344 to 35. Buyers have appeared for Railway Shares, which are gene rally viewed as a safe investment ; in fact, few more legitimate can be found, inasmuch as the money is expended in national improvements, employing the labouring class of the country. Great Western are 21. per share better than yesterday, being 92% 93; and the New Shares 64% 644. York and North Midland, 93% 1 93%; the New Shares 32. South Western 593. Croydon 12%. Brighton, 353 36. Greenwich, 65 to 65. Money is very abundant in the discount market, although tight on the Stock Exchange. The rate of discount for first rate paper is reduced to 4 and 43 per cent. The Liverpool coffee dealers are preparing a memorial to the Board of Trade, praying that some relief may be given to them as regards their stock of East. India Coffee which they have on hand. From an observation wade by 11r. M'Gregor, to the deputation which waited upon him on the subject of a difference in duty in favour of this descripti - in, it ould appear probable that the request may be complied with, that gentleman having inquired if such a concession would prove beneficial, and which the parties refused to ac • cept, in the expectation of obtaining a reduction of duty. It is now almost certain that no alteration will be made in the intended scale, but that the rates will j be 4d. per lb. on British plantation, and Bd. on Foreign. The Earl of Ripon was strongly urged to admit Mocha and other kinds similarly situated at a less sum than Bd., but to which suggestion he gave a decided negative, refusing even to admit Coffee, the produce of the territories of the Rajah of Mysore, who is completely under our protection - and control. It is stated that a proposition has been sent. from our Go vernment to that of the Brazils, offering to make a concession in favour of their sugar if the slave trade be abolished. It is not improbable, from that part of Sir Robert Peel's speech which alluded to the sugar duties, but that the report may have had son e foundation in fact. The EngliAs Securities have given way since the opening, but the business doing has been to a very limited extent. Consols are now 89a for Money, and 89i for the Account ; Exchequer Bills, 29 31 ; and India Bonds 10 prem. ; New Three-and-a- Half per Cents. are 99g. There has been a considerable deal of business trans acted to-day in the Foreign Market, particularly in South American Securities. Mexican Bonds have been done at 42'4, but are now quoted at 42. Colombian are 27; Buenos A res, Peruvian, 23; l 7 lh ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 3% • Spanish Active Stock, 25 1 4 ; Dutch Two-and a-Half per dents., 52 1 / 2 ; Ditto Fiie, 11:134.

The last prose production of this gifted writer , " Ethel Churchill," was universally admitted to be one of the very fi st books of its class, and was hailed with delight as the precursor of a series of works which would place L. E. L. at the head of tht novelists of her day. ller untimely fate yreVented the fulfilment of this well 'founded expectation ; but in the "re' of " Lady Annr Uranard" we are naturally induced to look for still greater manifestations of that luxuriant imagination, deep pathos, and sparkling wit, which made " Ethel Churchill" o ne of the most a re d s in tlfig Pu m bl e i m e' oZ i striking and original works of the pey.jod. As the posthumous ill no doubt j o t f " it s lamented and las' production of L. E.

We are sorry to say that not a vestige of either the building or its contents could be saved. How the fire originated no one could tell. Zy the calamity upwards of one hundred hands will be thrown out of employment. A clockmaker of Chalons, M. Rabiet, has taken out a patent for a new clock which winds itself up in the act of striking. The mechanism is said to be so simple that these new clocks can be sold at a low price. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LoNnoN, MARCH 16.—Wind this day at noon, S.W.
