Bank. - - - SMUGGLING ON THE CLYDE.—The smuggling of tobacco into the various seaport towns on the Clyde, but more especially into Greenock, has of late years been carried on very extensively, to the evident injury of the revenue and the interest of the fair trader. Yesterday the barque Mohawk arrived at Greenock from Montreal and Quebec, and, in accordance with the Custom-house regulations, came to at the tail of the bank, where she was boarded by the Customs' boat, commanded by Mr. Curtis, the tide-surveyor. The vessel was immediately searched, and three large bags full of tobacco were found in her, and of course seized and brought ashore. The captain and crew of the MohaWk were apprehended and lodged in prison this forenoon.—Glasgow Chronicle. THE FORTRESSES OF THE CONFEDERATION. — FRANKFORT, Nov. 22.—We hear that the expense of erecting the new fortresses at Min and Rastadt is estimated at 30,000,000 florins. This sum will be paid by the several StateS of the Co'nfederation to the Treasury, according to their population, and in pro portion as it may be required : the amount of the por tion of the French contribution, which was placed at interest in the house of Rothschild, and which was at that time 22,000,000 f., is to be deducted. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. GLOBE.—The policy of evacuating the Affghan territory, and the phraseology of the proclamation by which Lord Ellenborough directs the retirement of the British troops within the boundary of British India, .are perfectly distinct questions. • The policy itself may be wise ; the mode of carrying it into practice may be pregnant with folly, and fraught with all the elements of danger. Leaving, then, out of the present discussion the former question, we will endeavour to ascertain how far the Governor- General's proclamation from Simla is calculated to impress the native Powers with increased re spect for the British character—and on that respect our empire in India mainly depends—and the British nation with confidence in his rule. We beg to re mind those of our Contemporaries who affect to be impressed with admiration for the wisdom which de termined Lord Ellenborough—the objects of the. occupation of the Affghan territory being attained— to withdraw the British troops within the Indus, that they leave Out of their calculations an important part of the argument, viz., whether a permanent possession of the coimtry beyond the Indus was contemplated by his predecessor. We have discovered no proof that such a course was ever designed by him; nor do we recollect that the impugners of Lord Auckland's policy have gone beyond_ the employment of implication, to produce an impression that such was his purpose. Lord Ellenborough sets out in his proclamation with inviting special attention to the wisdom which he assumes is conspicuous in his own procedure; rendered yet more obvious by the "errors" of his pre decessor. Any man who was not filled with a silly, fond conceit of his own personal importance, would have been restrained from indulging in such a compa rison, by the mcdesty which is the accompaniment of merit. He would have left it to others. If capable of being supported, it would be made and rendered manifest by those whose business it is to record the acts of Governments, and show the consequenCes to which they lead. Lord Ellenborough's reflection upOn the Governor-General whoin he succeeded, is yet more objectionable, on account of the pinjurious results it was calculated to produce on the natives of the vast empire, our do:ninion over whom is founded on moral influence rather than main tained by physical force. The changes of adminis tration, which in this country are well under stood, with the causes which produce them, are but little known, and less regarded, in British India. There the Government is administered in the name and on behalf of the Sovereign ; and if there be one element more essential than another to prevent the origination and operation of factions against the exist ing administration of the Government, it is that of maintaining among the natives a belief that the Government is one and the same, by whom soever administered ; and that the occasional changes of administration effect no change in its policy. Once admit the principle, that changes of Ministry at home will effect changes, whether in colonial government or in foreign policy, and immediately a strong induce ment is supplied to intrigues for the purpose of effect ing a change of Government, in order that changes deemed desirable by colonial dependencies, or by fo reign Powers, may be secured. STANDARD.—We have elsewhere copied from the Times the manifesto issued by Lord Auckland upon the commencement of the unhappy war in Aff ghanistan. From this document our readers will be able to form some judgment of the errors in which that disastrous enterprise originated—the fear of a Russian or Persian influence, the prospect of an active and, efficient co-operation from the Punjaub (the territory of Runjeet Singh), the ima g ined popu larity of Shah Soojah, the anticipated possibility, in a word, that any Sovereign, however po pular for the time, could, in such a coun try as Affghanistan, be permanently " sup ported against foreign interference and factious op position.by a British army"—such a British army as the finances of the British empire in India could afford. We are quite willing to rest the charge of enormous folly alleged against Lord Auckland's policy upon his own manifesto, as that exposition has been illustrated by •subsequent facts; but to see the fatuity in its full extent it is only necessary to refer to Burnes' correspondence and the work of Mr. Atkinson, to which we have already directed attention. The truths to be col lected from these authorities must have been known to Lord Auckland, and before he issued the mani festo which we republish ; and even without a know ledge of these facts, a schoolboy's reading ought to have taught his Lordship the impossibility of obtain ing any useful or honourable results from an ag gressive Parthian war. It has been attempted, by insinuation rather than by direct assertion, to lay all the blame of the Caubul disaster upon Burnes, M‘Naghten, and Elphinstone. We are not the apologists of these gentlemen; and we think the selection of the latter two for the important stations they filled a grave addition to Lord Auck land's original offence. It is, however, impos sible to read the manifesto of the ex-Go vernor-General, without seeing that his plan had totally and miserably failed, on account of its essential and inherent folly, before the discretion or indiscretion of Burnes, M'Naghten, or El phinstone, could in the slightest degree influ ence the result. In what did the possible error of those three gentlemen consist ? Confessedly in nothing but the not securing a safe retreat, or a safe asylum, for the army. Granted, that the army might have been spared destruction by a retreat like that of the 10,000 ; granted, that it might have made a Saguntum or Saragossa of Caubul—and Sir Robert Sale's glorious defence of Jell al abad seems to prove that it might—still this was not the completion of Lord Auckland's plan. His Lordship did not send an army of 20,000 men 1,500 miles, through defiles, deserts, and mountains, merely that, by some miracu lous effort of skill or heroism it might not be destroyed, as unhappily it was destroyed. No. The mani festo tells why the army was sent—" To support Shah Soojah against factious opposition and foreign in terference ;" awl this purpose must have clearly and signally failed before it could be a question whether the army sent for this purpose should shut itself in a fortress, attempt an orderly retreat, or betake itself to a disgraceful and deplorable flight. Let this be re membered—the beginning of negotiations for the retirement of the troops was the end of Lord Auck land's plan, the seal of its wretched failure. MONEY MARKET and 401. TY NEWS. PROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY. TIMES.—It is gratifying to be able to quote from letters written by distinguished subjects ofthe States, extracts which condemn, in an unqualified manner, the dishonourable and almost atrocious Con duct of some of the States, in repudiating or refusing to, pay their just debts. It is out of this feeling, if at all; that: the creditors are to expect to recover what is due to them. If all Americans were alike callous .to the reproach which attends such conduct, the case becomes obviously a hopeless one ; but by laying in time a proper foundation among men of fortune and influence, it may be brought to bear in time upon the whole American community. Every merchant and every honest man throughout the States should feel it to be imposed upon him as the most sacred of duties, to contribute his share to the removal of this great stigma. An American merchant of the first class, writing bythe Great Western, says— " There are movements in every section of the country for the purpose of bringing before Congress the subject of the State debts. If a people are so im in6ral as to repudiate an honest debt in their legisla tive capacity, certainly the same spirit will induce them to cancel all private bonds and mortgages on land and houses. This notion so completely governs the wealthy men in this country, that they generally decline taking stocks of any kind, loans of money on bond or mortgage, or to purchase real estate, deeming all unsafe until the States acknowledge their debts and pay the interest regularly. I cannot believ e th a t the Anglo-Saxon race can for any length of time do wrong, hut if they are so disposed, the stand taken by the principal capitalists on your side and in this country must soon bring them to their senses. You have done right in England not to take the public loan, and you should adhere firmly to the stand taken. No loans or confidence to any section of the country until all the States redeem their plighted faith." This from a native American, - a Merchant of great wealth and influence, is manly and becoming lan guage, and affords the first gleam of hope that has passed under observation for some time, that all may ultimately regain the right course, the path of honour, and, as in all such cases, the best and safest policy. Till then the American name must be degraded all over Europe, and the prosperity of the whole country retarded. In addition to the observations made yesterday on the surplus issue of Mexican bonds, a correspondent desires that public attention may be drawn to the fact, that all the bonds contain at foot, a certificate by Messrs. Lizardi and Co., that each bond so converted is represented, one-half by the new bond of active debt, and the other half by a .deferred bond; and that, consequently, as there has been admitted to be an issue in excess of the active bonds to the amount of 630,0001., each of them contains a falsehood upon e. face of it. The case is bad enough as it is, and sllo :t not be made needlessly worse. lithe agents, in once i i to cover this defect, and to give regularity to thegeN rk , tificate, had issued the corresponding amount,,Xellpm ferred stock, they would have made a much *mtg . , sacrifice than they have already done, as acting for the Alexiean Government, 'since the deferred stock, which! izivolveg: - 01•thhately - an :equal charge on the country,.zells for 30t.9 per cent. only, while the ac tive stock is worth above '3O per cent. But for the irregular issue, and .Cofisiderlng that remittances are sent with tolerable exactness for the payment of the dividend, the price wbuld• have ranged 10 or 15 per cent. higher. Thus the transaction re-acts with a most severe retribution on the Mexican Government itself, and impedes the restoration of its credit. • POST.—A Correspondent addresSes us on the sub ject of Spanish Stock conversions. He seems to labour under the misapprehension that, in virtue of the Gamboa decree of 1840, the Five per Cent. Active Stook now in circulation might be exchanged for the new Three per Cents. Such, however, is not the fact, the conversion being limited to the interest accrued on the old Active Debt up to the end of 1840. The capitalisation of the interest accruing on the same stock since 1840, and tbe,,e'onversion of the latter from a five to a three per cent. security, are among the projects laid by Senor Calatrava before the Cortes, but what may be the fate of the Minister's scheme has yet to be made known. It may very pro-' bably be passed into a law, but as the laws of the Spanish Cortes are not respected even by the autho rities of Spain themselves, .particularly in matters of finance, but, on the contrary, violated as the con venience of the Executive may require, there would appear to be no certainty as to the ultimate fulfilment of their undertakings, nor does it seem to be worth while to speculate upon the result. The suggestion of the policy of selling old Passive Actives for the new Three per Cent. Actives would, no doubt, be generally acted upon could the smallest dependence be placed on the stability of the existing or contemplated arrangements of the Government at Madrid. The same power which was put into opera tion for the abrogation of the Ricardo contract of 1834, and for the substitution of a three per cent. in terest for a five per cent., without the concurrence of the creditor, may be again exercised upon the same principle. The Three per Cents. of 1842 may, in the course of a very short time, be melted down to a-two or even a one per cent. stock. PROGRESS OF THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Picture gallery, at Manchester, last night, was filled long before the time of meeti ng commence d, and th e ,b,xcitement appeared as great as might ha v e been ex ` tiebted. Amongst the gentlemen on the pl a tf orm !Were Richard Cobden,Esq., M.P., W. Torrens M'Cul lagh,, Esq., of Dublin, barrister, (author of " The Use and Study of History") ; Rev. J. E. Giles, of Leeds ; Rev. W. Bonner, and Robert Bew, Esq., of Bilston ; Rev. J. Davis, Rev. William Chapman, Rev. J. Harrison, Rev. William Giles, Samuel Giles, Esq., J. Taylor, Esq., of Stroud; J. Leese, jun., Esq., and Alderman Brooks. GEORGE WiLsos, Esq., on taking the chair, said, that since the last meeting they had received a large accession to:their numbers—(Hear)—and they had re ceived applications for cards far beyond their means to supply.—(Applause.) The call made by the ConnOitfhr),shbscriptions to the Great League Fund had beenresponded to in many districts in a manner much . I . eyopd,. their most sanguine expectations.— (Applause.) ; : The large towns of the north especially were doing their duty; almost every one of them had its committee organised, and was prepared to aid them with vigour. Next week but one the midland coun ties proposed to have their great meetings. In Scot land, at Glasgow, they proposed having a great de monstration—(Applause)—and at Edinburgh prepa rations were making, on ajsimilar scale, not later than January.—(llear, hear.) Mr. HicxtN, secretary to the League; then read some correspondence of the past week, showing the immense number of towns in 'which the organisation was going on, and spreading all over the kingdom. The CHAIRMAN said he had the pleasure of stating that a letter, inclosing a handsome donation of 301., had been received from a landowner.—(Cheers.) It was from Edward Holland, Esq., of Dumbleton Worcestershire, high : sheriff of the county.—(Hear.)' Mr. COBDEN, who was received with loud cheers then addressed the meeting. After givin g a account of several free-trade meetings he had attended in the north of England, and after anticline. to the influence produced upon trade by the l a t e 'in telligence from China and Affghanistan, he continued —Now, Gentlemen, if the prospect, vague and in definite as it is, of an extended demand for our manu factures from a nation of whom we know literally almost nothing, and at the very extremity of the earth's surface, produces such a - feeling—if such be the effect of opening five new ports in an unknown country like that—what would be the effect if we had a hundred ports opened to us all over the earth ? —(Applause.) And that we may have if we choose only to open our own ports.—(Hear, hear.) Why, I have no hesitation in saying that the impulse, the moral effect of such a course upon the trade of this district, would be such as would now appear almost incredible. Already you have had the opening of fresh mills and manufactories, and a considerable im pulse has been given to the prices of commodities and other property. Now let us suppose that at the open ing of Parliament the Queen's speech contained an announcement that the Corn-laws were to be abo-, . lished, and what would be the effect, think you ? Why, I will undertake to say that the very post which brought that news to Manchester would be the signal for setting every mill and workshop in motion —(Hear)—that it would be followed by an advance in the value of your fixed property here of at least 25 per cent.: that the shipping in Liverpool would be increased in value to the same extent; and that the poor-houses would be emptied of the unemployed la- bourers—(Hear, hear)—and that the now pallid faces of the idle would be lighted up with joy, at the pros pect of their bones having some flesh put upon them. —(Applause.) Well, I am sorry that even a gleam of hope should be dispelled by anything that I can say, but I must confess that I think there is a prodi gious deal of delusion about the prospect of increased business with China.—(Hear, hear.) And I will tell you whence this delusion springs. It is Whiggism and Toryism that has misled us again.—(Applause.) There has been an outcry in the newspapers about whose is the honour and glory of this peace and all its mighty consequences. One party sets the bells a ringing and says,' "I did it;" the other writes up to the, newspapers and says, "I did it;" and there is such a mighty pother between the two factions that the merchants and manufacturers think there must be something great and good to be had, and they rub their hands and fancy they are going to have a glo rious trade.—(Applause.) Now, how long shall we continue to be deluded by such shallow expedients as this ? Cannot we resort to a little common sense ? Have we not the slightest share of reason or judgment to fall back upon ourselves ?—(Applause.) Why, we regard this peace as though it was going to restore to us a trade that had been destroyed by war. It would seem as if this country and China had both been mu tually ravaged by war, and that not only had trade been interrupted, but that the harvests had been im peded, labour had been checked, and production stop ped by these wars. Nothing of the kind. The trade with China never had been interrupted by the war. It was put forth by Sir Robert Peel, in the House of Commons, as one plea for the bad state of trade, that the China war was the cause of it. He stated some thing of the same kind at Tamworth ; but it was settled by Mr. Hastie, the Member for Paisley, who has a great trade with that part of the globe—(he is a very plain man, and scarcely_ ever speaks at all)—but he came down to the House that night after Sir Robert's argument about China, and he brought some of these ugly, unmanageable figures, and showed that instead of our trade having dimi nished, it had increased during this war; and Sir Robert Peel admitted that it had.—(Applause.) Well, you have had no interruption to the trade with China ; there has been no great amount of deso lation or damage committed upon that country; we have sacked and ravaged a port or two, but the har vests have never been impeded; there has been no check to the prosperity of the country; and I say we have not suffered in the trade with China by the war. Then, what is it that this peace is going to give us? An increase of trade, we are told, M consequence of five ports being opened in that [ ' (unary. Bat we have had already an open trade to I , link through Canton • and we must not suppose I I liat,, because all our trade' has gone through Canton, therefore alt the goods which we have sent to China have been consumed at that extremity of the empi re. 1 We know very well that the goods which we sent to Canton have traversed the whole of that empire, by means of the canals and rivers which render transit so easy there. How, then, are we to have an increased trade by the opening of these new ports ? . We are told that there are 300 millions of people in China. That is true; and if there were 3,000 millions of people, you could not trade with them, unless you had soinettikng to take in exchange for the goods you are g ( 4oti send to them.—(Applause.) Now, what are you going to take ? China can send you tea and s ilk s . Do you think the consumption of tea has greatly increased within the last year or two ? If so, what accounts for the falling off of all our customs' duties ? Do you think that the middle classes, with the Income-tax lately put upon their backs, are in a position to increase vastlythe consumption of silks in this country? Well, there's 'the measure of your exports to China ; what tea and silk can you bring ? —(Applause.) There cannot be any possibility of our getting on a right footing, until the people of this country will understand the first and fun damental principle of trade, that it is barter, and that unless they receive back, they cannot send out their commodities.—(Applause.) The Honour able Gentleman continued—The democratic party in America are free traders—(Hear, hear)—and they have annual elections in America; they can test public opinion every year, and the elections which have taken place there within the last month, have decided the fate of monopoly in America.—(Applause.) They say they won't be taxed to benefit these manu facturers, they won't allow a high duty of imports to oblige a few manufacturers, and cotton printers and 'spinners.—(Applause.) Well, we say—the Anti- Corn-law League say—we won't be taxed for the be nefit of a few landowners in this country.—(Loud cheers.) Now, if the Americans and the English will only keep to their work, as their forefathers have done when they had great principles to carry out—if they will only put down their monopolising manufacturers, and we put down our monopolising landowners here, when our election time comes, we will lay the Missis sippi valley alongside of Manchester, and we will have a glorious trade then.—(Cheers.) The Rev. J. E. GILES, of Leeds, was then called on, and was received with much applause. He ob served—lf England expects every man to do what is called his 'duty—but what I do not call his duty—in times of war, for the destruction of its enemies— (Hear, hear) —much more, Sir, may England expect that a Christian minister will not skulk from the offices of peace, for the salvation of his countrymen awl of ' his country from a calamity more extensive and more horrible than all the armies that ever have marched for her destruction—than all the navies, ever launched against her have been enabled, in, any period of our history to inflict. lam told, indeed, that I am the minister of charity and peace. Charity ! What charity is there in starving the poor ? What peace in keep ing up party animosity and distraction through the land, as must ever be the case where monopoly exists ? I am well aware, Sir, and have not forgotten the fact, that the laws you are attempting to sweep away were passed under the sanction of loaded cannon ; and I am aware, too, that it has only been in the midst of tumults, which nothing but loaded cannon and bayonets are able to suppress, that those laws have been maintained. But these are not the weapons you wield—they are not the weapons you love—they are not the weapons that could accomplish your purpose— they are not the weapons you- use.—(Hear, hear.) You have infinitely stronger weapons at command— stronger arguments—stronger votes—stronger contri buting—stronger unity and league —stronger sym pathy in the hearts of all the wise and good, and stronger appeals to heaven in behalf of the needy and the poor.—(Hear, and applause.) These are the weapons with which, you will go to work. WILLIAM TORRENS APCULLAGH, Esq., was next introduced to the meeting, and received with great applause. He said he believed that the whole prin ciple of !dividing to conquer," and of knockinv two heads together, was never more exemplified th an it had been in the history of monopoly in England and Ireland—(Cheers)—and he believed the monster was identical with that which was felt grappling at their throats and choking them, that was preventing the culture of their fields so perfectly as they might be, that was shutting out the produce of the foreigner, which should be taken in exchange for our manu factures, and that left the mass of their farmers tenants-at-will, or rather tenants-at-ill-will—(Great laughter, and "Hear, hear")—and at the mercy of their landlords. When a friend mentioned to him, a few days before he left home, that there was some anxiety here to know what was the opinion of men across the channel, on this question of free-trade, he was looking over a book that had more to do with their history than it had to do with that of Ireland. The book he referred to was D'Ewes's Journal of Parliament; and it occurred to him that there were some facts in it which would be of interest to them, and which, therefore, he had taken the liberty of making a note of, for the purpose of submitting them to their consideration.—(Hear, hear.) And he did so for this re ason , th a t it h a d been thought this question of free trade was a new question—that it was a dis covery of modern science, and that the world had never seen anything so effectually done for the libera tion of commerce, and the setting free of industry before. Now he did not believe that ; for he believed that in England, by English hearts and hands, the same fight was made near 200 years ago against the efforts of monopoly to throttle the industry of the country—(Hear, hear)—and he only asked them to listen to a report of the proceedings of the House of Commons, from a journal taken of it s p rocee di ngs i n the time f Elizabeth, in support of this opinion. He dared to say that as they thought they were getting older, so the aristocracy thought they were growing more subtle in these matters than when they were mere schoolboys at it.—(Laughter.) Excuse him for not talking of Whig and Tory aristocrats—they • were just the same.—(Hear, hear.) Whatever they might think of their power, they were Englishmen ; and the mass of Englishmen, nor Irishmen neither, had a right to submit to wrong inflicted by them.— (Ikar, hear.) But as he was saying about tyros in the craft, he found that at the time referred to each great lord had a particular trade under his protection. The great joint-stock principle on which they acted now was not in vogue then—they were not such pro ficients in their business.—(Laughter.) Not that they knew anything of the trades , under their protection, but the object was to promote the revenue, and they were allowed to purchase a patent to .pro tect any particular trade they might think proper. Well, the trade was better taken care of almost every day—(Laughter)—till at length, it had almost died of the kindness bestowed upon it.—(Renewed laugh ter)—and then there arose a set of Leaguers--(Hear, hear)—the Cobdens, and Brookses, and Brights of these days—(Applause)—and they .set the kingdom in a perfect commotion.—(Hear, hear.) There was not a very full history of their proceedings, but thank God they had the whole of the debates in Parliament on the question, and they were full of instructive matter to those similarly engaged in the present day. Mr. Al`Cullagh then adduced a variety of amusing instances from the proceedings in Parliament during the time of Sir Robert Cecil, of various English com moners who had expressed themselves, even at this early period, in very strong termS, upon restrictions upon trade in any shape. He then continued — But the best part of this history, from the Journal of the Parliaments of Elizabeth and James the First, was to come. It appeared that when the list of patents, granted to monopolies at that time, was read out, there was a man of his (Mr. M'Cullagh's) profession, and there was not much to be said for them generally ; however, there was a man found amongst the lawyers of those days who had a heart in his bosom. His name was Hakewell, and when the list of patents had been read over, he got tlp and said, "Is not bread among the number r " Bread !" said one ; " bread !" re peated another. Well, however, he said, " If care be not taken of these others, bread will soon be among th 3 number." He (Mr. M'Cullagh) thought there was some around him now who could tell that bread had hem among the number long ago.—(Hear, hear.) Well, Elizabeth coming to know of these things, was a woman of too good heartedness— though she possessed, in common with others, her :.hare of faults—she had too much good sense not to see that it was no longer safe to risk the glory of her reign by denying justice to her people, and unexpectedly she came down to the House and made a speech—such a speech !—he did not wish to make a pretence to prophesy, but he should rejoice then if from o l m ie could hold out the hope of such anotherspeech another, and yet the brightest of English Queens. — (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) She told them her notions of her prerogative, which she esteemed as the chief pearl in her diadem and the choicest flower. in her garden, and, in her speech, she said she valued her subjects' love above all revenue or treasure.— (Hear.) It would be too long to read the whole— (Cries of " Go on")—but there was one point in the speech he' could not consent to deprive them of, and it was where she called God to witness "that she never put pen to any of these grants, but upon the pretext and semblance made to her that they would be beneficial to her subjects in general ;" " but," she said, " the contrary having been found by experience she would never sign another." And then she turned round to those people whom she had before been taught to regard as the enemies to her crown and dignity—(Hear, hear)—but whom she now found to be the best safeguards of both, like the free-traders of the present day—(Applause)—and thanked them for " having drawn her attention to,so great an evil." She grew indignant. "Varlets,". he thought she called those who had visited her.—(Laughter.) It was a term which would, perhaps, in these days, be thought " unparliamentary (great laughter)— " Varlets,;bsabtebsaavide thus shall oppresseda, lltlieythl y n o k o, to ont e i s i c )e a e p o e re:un punished spectless of their own duty a nd the Q ueen's honour ? No, I assure ; I des i re that the o pp ression done by these varlets—(" Varlets " again—Laughter)— should not escape condign punishment. But I now see (she continued)—that they (the Ministers) have dealt with me like physicians—(Hear, hear, and laughter)—who, - ministering a drug, make it now acceptable by giving it an aromatic savour, or when they give pills—(Renewed cries of " Hear, hear," and " Tantworth doctor ")—or when they give pills do gild them all over."—(Roars of laughter and ap plause.) Well, it was encouraging to think that there was a time in our history when monopolies, like those that now bore down our trade, were overthrown. —(Hear, hear.) On looking back we found it clearly established that a system of monopoly once existed of the most oppressive thud before, that there was a time when they were thrown overboard, and then that there was another time at which the monopolists again mounted their horses and put on " patent " spurs—(Laughter)—and well he recollected that one of the first acts they did was to exclude Irish cattle from the English market. (The meeting had not concluded when the reporter left) . NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.—A correspondent having sent two newspapers to the Post -office for Van Diemen's Land, which were posted without the postage being paid, called next day at the Foreign Post-office and paid it, and he was much surprised to find they had a great many papers which had been posted in the same way, none of which would be for warded. Now, this, as in his case, might be merely accidental ; but from' what he learned at the office, he has good reason to suspect that in many cases the penny is pocketed by the boys and porters sent to post them. It was suggested by a gentleman in the office, that by affixing a post-label on the newspaper, such frauds and consequent disappointment would be effectually prevented. It should also be known that newspapers for foreign parts cannot be posted after 6 o'clock, P.M. • MURDER IN FRANCE. A dreadful murder was committed on Monday last, at Orleans, under the following circumstances :—A man, of Italian origin, named MOntelli, residing at St. Germain, repaired to Orleans about a fortnight ago, to visit a person named Boisselier, a messenger at the Bank. These pefsons had served together in Africa, and had been for some years on most inti mate terms. Boisselier invited Montelli to dinner, and the latter, on taking his departure, promised to return in a short time and see him again. Accordingly, on Monday he again arrived at Orleans early in the morning. He sent a message to Boisselier to come and breakfast with him at the Hotel de l'Europe. Boisselier sent word that he should speedily follow, and, placing in his pocket-book bills to the amount of 8,000 f., which he had to receive for the Bank, he proceeded to the place of meeting. They went out about half. past eight o'clock, and drank wine at several cabarets. About nine they returned to the hotel, and went up to Montelli's room. In half an hour afterwards the unfortunate Boisselier lay murdered on the floor; Montelli, on arriving at the hotel, had asked for some thing to eat, and the servant, seeing that he did not come down, carried the breakfast up to him. He heard her step on the stairs, and immediately came out of his room, saying, " Take it down ; I shall be with you in a moment." He descended a few minutes after, having locked his door, and put the key in his pocket. He took his breakfast with the utmost tranquillity, and then went out, and, calling at several bankers, got most of the Bills, which he had taken from his victim, cashed, and in this way collected about 5,000 f. He returned to the hotel about one o'clock, and called for dinner, which he ate with a good appetite. His dinner being over, he went up to his room, and then set about concealing his crime. After having dispatched Boisselier, Montelli had tried to hide the body in a cupboard in the room, but he found it impossible to force it in. It was, however, absohitely necess ar y either to hide it or take it away. For this purpose he went out again, and purchased a box and some packing canvas. The former was to contain the body, and the latter to dry up the blood. During his prepara tions the murderer, the better to deceive the persons who might be in the neighbouring rooms, kept singing with a loud voice. Sometime afterwards he took the box down stairs, and with the aid of a commissionnaire carried it to the Messageries:Laffitte, and had it en tered for Toulouse, directed to a person named Morel. He then, without returning to the hot e l, agree d w i t h a cabriolet driver to take him for 10f. a certain dis tance on the Paris road. He became hungry on the way, and took supper at an inn at Artenay. In the meantime the non-appearance of Boisselier had given the alarm at the Bank, and the police were informed of the circumstance. They learned that a stranger, with his face somewhat scratched, and his hand wrapped up, had presented several bills for payment, and on examination it was found that several spots of blood were visible on some of them. The next day, M. Benard, the proprietor of the Hotel de l'Europe, finding that one of his inmates had not re turned, and that the key was not to be found, went up to the room, and saw some blood near the door. He at once sent for the police, and, on examination, blood was discovered on the floor, in the cupboard, and under the bed, wh ere th e y also ound a cap, a cravat, and some bloody linen. This having come to the ears of the Director of the Messageries, he informed the police of the heavy box he had received the even ing before, and on its being broken open, the body of the unfortunate Boisselier was found within. The mutilations practised on it were horrible, for the murderer, in order to force the body into the box, had been obliged to fold up the thighs like the legs of a fowl, and to press the dead body down with his knees. The police are in pursuit of the murderer, who it has been found hired a cabriolet at Thoury. Bosselier has left a young wife and one child.—Ga lignani. LORD KINNARD'S TESTIMONY To THE PRESENT STATE OF TIIE COUNTRY. I never remember the agriculturist's interest in such a state of depression as it is at this moment—a state which we last year foretold they must come to —not caused, as it is falsely asserted, by a panic, con sequent on the partial relaxation of our commercial laws, but from the diminished powers of consumption of the people. That this is the case I may give, as an instance, the town of Dundee, where not above a dozen head of foreign cattle have made their appear ance, and where the quantity of Irish salted store beef sold as American has not been great ; yet not half the quantity of cattle are slaughtered per week that there used to be, though the price of meat is re.. duced to sd. for the best, and 4d. the inferior.. -One of the principal bakers stated that he now only bakes a batch of bread three times a week instead of one five days in the week, and two on Saturdays ; the dif ference between three and seven, or a falling off of more than half in the consumption of flour, in addi tion to the greatly diminished quantity required for manufacturing. The number of inhabitants has cer tainly decreased, but not in proportion to the di minished consumption, many of the unemployed having returned to their rural parishes, and to Ire land. But here is a matter of deep concern and in terest to the agriculturist and landowner—that this falling off in consumption is felt, and that most severely by the farmer. I may be considered as no bad judge, having in my own hands upwards of 1,000 acres of' pasture and arable land, and depending chiefly on Dundee for the sale of the produce. Some, perhaps, will say that the proximity of land to a large town is no criterion ; but I think, on a moment's re flection, it will be seen, that though the stagnation of trade is more immediately felt by those in the neigh bourhood, vet the farmers at a distance must eventu- ally feel it, as the produce, which otherwise would be consumed on the spot, is sent to compete with that in other markets—for instance, I have a large flock of Leicester sheep, for which here at present there is absolutely no sale, and I am obliged to send them to London, whereas, formerly, I could have disposed of them, conferring an obligation on the buyer, before they were half fat. The fact is, no in ferior quality of meat will sell, and even good, not readily. I have a lot of Highland wethers, bought in hhiBsa have been though this spring at 145., which will not pay th e summer ' s keep.

Indeed, there is no sale for any description of wood. Where, in former years, I could sell in a day 1,000/. worth, I could not now sell 101. This cannot be oc casioned by the alteration in the timber duties, as it was the case before that alteration was proposed ; and besides, when trade was brisk, I found it more profit able to use foreign timber than my own, for which I realised as good or a better price. Grain is also re duced in price, but not so low as not to give a re munerating price to the grower, if there was a steady demand, and a security for payment. But what is the state of the linen trade of Dundee ? Somewhat better, certainly, than it was six or eight months ago ; for this reason, that owing to the a b un d ant harvest, there has een a greater demand for sa c k s , and from the cheapness of provisions the agricultural labourer has been enabled to provide himself with some :necessaries, which has created a slight demand for sacking and coarse sheeiing; added to this, the Government' contract for sail-cloth (whi c h w ill b e completed in December) is now giving employment to a great many hands. But the trade with America and the Brazils is paralyzed, beeawie we cannot take ot linen o c n o r n fr o a i n n d i s ) u o g n a d r e e i n t o e x t c h h e a n u g e n . i States,la'rge exporter informs te A d me that he will not send for the approaching spring trade one bale for twenty that he has sent the last five years. This stoppage of trade with America will account for the numerous failures, and cases but too frequent wh ere men who, a few short years ago, might have retired in comparative affluence , are now reduced to a state of b an k ruptcy. —Letter to ir. Sydney Smith. MEETING OF THE IBISII BISHOPS.—NATIONAL EDUCATION. —Whilst I write, a meeting of the Bishops of the Irish Established Church is in progress, of course with closed doors. It had been convened by the Primate, Lord John George Be resfQrd, to place before them a communication from Sir Robert Peel, on the important subject of education in Ireland. I have reason to be lieve that the Premier, in this communication, declares it as his determination to continue the grant to the'Natlonal Board of Education, without any modification, upon the principle that the Government cannot sanction any exclusive grant for educational purposes in Ireland. If such be the case, no money will be granted to the Church Education Society, of which the Primate is the head. You may, under such circumstances, be prepared for a violent outbreak amon gst the ultra-Tory and High Church party.— : Dublin Letter. The German journals give the following explana tion of the difference which has arisen between the Duke de Bordeaux and the Diichess d'Angouleme. The Duke thinks that he ought to take advantage of the present discontent in France, arising out of the treaties on the right of search and the commercial union with Belgium. The Duchess d'Angouleme, on the contrary, considers that it would be imprudent t 6 attempt any movement in France until Louis Phi lippe's death. PUBLICATIONS: T HE QUARTERLY REVIEW, No. CALI.'

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Afaga.iine Fashion.) The almost universal costume of a Parisian belle is a camail of black velvet, very large, trimmed with fur, gimp, or embroidery, or pelisse of velvet or satin with similar trimming ; capote of black pensee or dark green velvet, with flat feather of the same colour, or a bouquet of velvet flowers, small collar, entirely of Valenciennes ; a muff closing at the ends with nceuds of velvet, gloves with revers of velvet, and velvet boots closing with buttons. Cor sages, both for morning and evening wear, continue to be made with points a busques ; a new style for high bodies is with folds on the shoulders, decreasing insensibly to the waist, which is plain; the skirts, even when most ornamented, are not of exaggerated fulness ; they are sometimes , raised on each side the front, showing the under one of colour. Lace will be very, fashionable this winter ; it is even thought that two and three flounces of lace on velvet dresses will be restored. Gimp continues to be very much used, and a new style of ornament is deep fringe of black chenille and jet, havin g b er th e and sleeves to correspond ; they are also m a d e i n colours, with silver ',beads, f o r dresses o f crape . Gimp veloute is an elegant novelty, as also velvet soutache ; fur at this moment also forms a favourite trimming. Walking dresses are frequently of the Amazon form, they are geneially made of drap cachemire, of myrtle green, cafe brule, black, &c., the corsage buttoning without collar; the favourite colours for plain velvet dresses aro fauve heaver, pous siere, iron gray, and ile de mouche ; Pekins, with watered stripes and shaded in two colours, are quite the vogue in Paris, and are applicable to morning or evening wear. For walking dresses, poults de soie, satins, moires zebrees, gros de Chine, dames de l'lnde, levantines, &c. Brocatelle is a new material, very suitable for redingotes and in-door wear. Manches ter levantine is used for doullettes, the gitana a ne glige and plaids form a pleasing. variety. Camails of ermine are much worn, and manteaux of black cachemire with large pelerines and sleeves are lined with ermine ; they have sometimes a broad embroidery in braid heading the band of ermine, which turns over the edge of the cloak. Black velvet is in universal use for camail s manteaux, pelisses, bournous, &c.,—the Armenia n man t eau will form one of the prettiest walking costumes this winter; some are of velvet trimmed with fur, or of cloth ornamented with braid. Bonnets continue to be made larger in the crown, and inclining over the forehead, with bavolet either put on or connected with the front; they are of mode rate size, ornamented with feathers or flowers. Car riage bonnets are of Royal velvet, in blue saphir, vert de gris, mineral grey, paille citron, ornamented with marabouts and nceuds of a different coloured velvet inside. Bonnets and capotes are also made of satin velours epingle, satin ala Reine. The hair is worn ratherhigher, are placed less backward on the and all coiffures head; they are in endless variety, a la Diane de Poitiers, a la de Medici, Suisses and Venetien a l'Eregone, Camarzo, Reca mier, Beauharnois, Brecon, ala Geniis, &c. Histo rical coiffures will also be much worn, in exact re presentation of the age selected. Pretty caps are made without crowns, composed of several rows of lace placed one above the other, a little full round the lower part of the cheeks, a Id or namented nmuds of pink satin ribbon ononesidew,iathndsmsmalalllfleabt on the other.ou Several of the Cabinet Ministers viSited'W 'R.

Council PRIVY at C ° l lj V N i c n i d L s . o; SYRIA.—A private letter from Beyrout, of the 30th. of October, and consequently more recent by ten daikt. than the late news, gives some important detail4_ respecting the insurrection in Syria. The Druses had assembled about Bair-el-Ramer, the residence of the Pacha, threatening the Government. They con tinued to concert with the Christians, to whom they . offered to perpetuate the union between the two people; against the common enemy. The Turks kept in check by the revolters, and already beaten, were striving to avert an impending catastrophe, by en deavouring to sow dissension among their enemies, but the cry of independence. seems to 'have united the people of the mountain in one feeling, one.. idea, that of throwing off a yoke intolerable to the adherents to both religions. WATERLOO-BRlDGE ,OnThursd ay the half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors of this Bridge was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Strand, the Rev. John Rush in the chair, to receive the - Directors' Report and fill the vacancies in the Committee. Mr. G. Powell read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were confirmed. He then read the Directors' Report :—The tolls ending the 23d of August, 1841, amounted to 7,4731. 155., while those for the corre sponding period in this year were only 6,8281. 12s. Id. The decrease in the tolls for horses and vehicles was 928/. 16s. ld., and the increase for foot passengers was 283/. 16s. sd. The difference on the horse toll arose from Westminster -bridge having been closed in April and May of 1841. Still the Directors anticipated the best results from the reduction of' one halfpenny in the tolls. During the last nine months the , foot tolls had increased 400/.165. 4d., but they were 2061.35. 2d. less as compared with a similar period when the toil was Id. The receipt for the past half-year, in.. eluding 6,828/. 12s. id.; tolls, with interest upon Ex chequer bills, and the rent .of the arched vaults, were 7,5411. 17s. 11d., and the expenditure, including 1,3341. 165., interest on bonds at 51., 41., and 32 per cent., and 4,6871. 10s., dividends upon annuities, amounted to 6,908/. Bs. 3d , leaving a..balance of 6331. 9s. Bd. The Report, in conclusion, stated that the bridge and its appurtenances were in excellent repair. Mr. Sangster argued at great . length in favour of the toll being again raised to ld• Mr. Stedman replied,. and insisted upon .the folly of such an attempt. He concluded With Moving the adoption of the Report, which was carried by a large majority. The ev. Mr. Rush, ,Jolin 13eadnall, Esq., Sir John Rennie, and Alexander' Gardner were re-elected members of the,Ceinmittle ; and ....Llyalsh, Esq., was re-appointed auditor ; after which thanks were voted to - the 1 ' Chairman. .• . • ') .' , ,p .4`,,,-;,
