A respectable and intelligent-looking young man, m.o . :led Wilberforce, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Alderman Kul.th, upon the following charge : rolice-constable 250 stated that yesterday evening, about half-past seven O'clock, he observed the prisoner deliberately walk up to one of the street-lamps and • a stone through it. He then took him to the station-house, and although the prisoner said he did it through distress, he (the constable) thought his mind appeared unsettled. - fn reply to Mr. Alderman Kelly, the prisoner said that ••be- came up to London some time ago, and having u - etting employment, he was reduced to tte greatest distress. Lie also became afflicted - witilisease, and.. was now an out-patient of St. Bar- tlolotnew's Hospital. M. Alderman KELLY—Your appearance denotes resectabifity—are you any relation of the cele brated - I:ilberforce? Prisoner—l am, your Worship; Ira and iny father were near relatives. Mr. Alderman KELLY—Yon should not have been gLilty of the crime you are charged with. was completely destitute ; I could not steal, and what I did was for the purpose'of getting mere shelter and food. The worthy Alderman then sentenced the prisoner to Eve days' imprisonment in the Compter, during which time he would have an opportunity of commu • n:cating with his friends. The prisoner left the bar, thanking Mr. Alderman K it, with much apparent gratitude, for sending him to a gaol. DE VON PORT. Nov. B.—The Wilberforce, steam-vessel, another a the Niger expedition squadron, arrived at this port 3terday from the coast of Africa. The P:dventure, transport, Roskilly, master, arrived the morning from Portsmouth with, stores. There are no ships or vessels of war in the Sound. nuE.—Last nig::t, about eight o'clock, a fire broke ma in a cork manufactory b e l ong i ng to Mr. Turner, in Storehouse-lane. The engine from the Royal Alarine barracks and a party of Marines, and other enfzines, were quickly on the spot, and very soon ex tinguished the flames. All the woodwork of the build ing was destroyed, but no very serious loss has been sustained. AVTI;Ert FlrtE.--This morning, about five o'clock, Hour's pipe manufactory, back of Mount-street, De vonport, near the Dockyard wall, was discovered to be on fire. On its being seen from the guard-ship, signal guns were fired, and immediately aft er Si r David Milne, the Port-Admiral, Sis Satnucl Pym, the Admiral-Superintendent of the Dockyard, and C'apt. Milne of the guard-ship, were at the premises. ) e fire was confined to the manufactory, and even tually reduced- The building is, however, destroyed. This is, fortunately, the first opportunity that has presented itself for the carrying out of the arrange menta which had been made by the gallant Port 17)r communicating the outbreak of fire to Ith4, authorities, and fur the speedy and effectual ex thietion of it. The comparatively small amount of damage sustained, and. the immediate suppression of of the fire, proves the value and importance of the arrangements and attention to them. UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT BY FlItE-A.RAlS.—Yes terdaymornin,P, a young man, a grocer, named Kemp, accidentally shot a superannuated serjeant of Marines, 'near the powder magazine, at Keyhan Point. It . appears that Kemp promiscuously fell in with a party with whom he was acquainted who were shooting rats near the water-side, and when in taking a loaded gun from one• of his friends it went off, and the contents entered the body of the. poor sergeant, who was in his garden close to th e :Tot. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENT C. PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—While the "Landed Interest" appear to be taking heart, and inculcating improvement in agricultural processes as a surer stay than failing mo nopoly, a Cassandra-warning is uttered by the Mark lane Express, which observes, in its last number, " It has been remarked as c:idence of the spirit of the Bsitish farmers, that, unintimidated by the changes resently made, they hare sown: a larger breadth of wheat thin year than usual. This may be well in those districts where, in consequence of the wet state of land, much rerneined unsown, or did not grow in the autumn of lsst year. But ihnse persons who hail a largely increased lreadth of Lud sown with wheat throughout the country a.; omino us c . f . good, a re unac guanted with its bearin gs NAm agriculhtre. This observation touches a sore pi,,sse. in o ur present egricultural economy. It has eeen streck re; as amusing to hear exclusive partisans, of the lariect interest inveighing against the s ti pecula ve spirit in manzifacturers, which leads them to in vcst whatcyer r_,Ants they have reeli se d i n new m ill s an.. extent:ed machinery. Maradircturer3 must not neck to expand that Lranch of production in Which t .ey are alone and alone can employ the c - It is 6..e-r-pn;ditwic2t, forsooth, in them to ease the quantity of carceee or woollens— tit !ir customers, and their. might-be customers, are so much over-provided with clothing! It would he essy to demonstrate that - the whole amount of goods manufactured, - in the busiest years has been in adequate rather than excessive, relatively to the real 7: a !.'s oft'onstuners. The/Peace-deemed ofconsumers is another thing. That is dependent, as regards the home market, on the aicissitudes of a most veal:able climate, affecting the supply and the prices of the first eecessaries of life, and, as regards. foreign markets, oe commercial vicissitudes, pjrtly proceeding from the same cause, and partly. from the periodical smashes inevitable When. commerce is based on credit, instead of ;estiess on the only sure foundation of substantial .0 excllange of commodities. The demands of our me:l ean customers yearly outstripped their means of making returns —a_ large section of those returns having been kept out wilfully by ourselves. American commerce, therefore, was to a great extent based on credit—that is to say, to a great extent, had no solid basis at all. The American' smashes, . consequent on the defi ciency of bases of commercial transactions commen surate with the reciprocal wants of the two nations— ti' wed by a Succession of seasons which narrowed the means of the great .bulk of home-customers to consume manufactures—produced those phenomena IvLich landed philosophy accounts for by the phrase. fpw - prcduction. It is odd they have no conception this phrase can ever be applicable to themselves. Landed producer-a meet, encourage each other to tinder-drainage," expatiate upon steam-ploughs, and extol Mr. Smith of Deanston—exult in-the circum stance that a greater breadth is lad under tillage than sans ever known, and al the whl , they have no con ception that any of those reproaches about the abuse te . machinery, excessive application.- of capital, over- Fo n ea tio n , &c., can ever he retorted on themselves. STANDARD.—Lord Cottenham has addressed to the, Times a letter disclaiming f or himself the re commendation of one of the gentlemen lately ap rointed Banks apt Commissioners, mad denying ge verally that he interfered in the late appointments. This letter might safely be left without comment, for it cannot matter much whether-Lord Cottenham (lid or did not recommend a Commissioner. His Lordship's recommendations and appointments and other extrajudical acts, have not been such as to give Weight to his. authority. His letter hhs, how ev r, been made. the text of a long article, in nhich a Morning Contemporary repeats all the uncandia and ungenerous imputations and sneers of which the new Commissioners have been the objects with the Opposition Press. Our Contemporaries have a great advantage in agitating the affair of the new appointments, for, beside the. support of thel,- with reasonable certainty upon rv, ttkey can count P the sy.Ttpathy of a fair share of th e Conservative Members of the Bar. The duty before Lord Lyndhnret was to select ten gentlemen qualified to fill the newly-erected offices. Now, if he were to collect the suffrages of the gentle imen of the bar .in the selection, there can be little doubt that he would have about as many candidates as electors—less, perhaps, by about 50 or 100 whO 'would not accept of one of the offices. There are few wearing gowns, in fact, .who would not be competent for the humble though la borious duties assigned to the Commissioners; there is not one who does not think himself competent. Every man, therefore, who has rendered a service, no matter how slight, to the party in which Lord Lynd hurst holds so high a station, may be disposed to think himself slighted, and to resent the slight. So true is the proposition of the French statesman, that in con ferring a favour you run the risk of making one man ungrateful, incur the certainty of rendering one hun dred disconted. If, therefore, the appointments ar un popular with the bar, as they are said to be—we know not upon what grounds—the unpopularity may be ac counted for upon considerations wholly irrespective of their merits. Whig-Radical barristers collectively condemn them, because they have been made by a Conservative Chancellor; Conservative barristers individually dislike them, because each thinks that his claims have been overlooked. This is not a plea sant view of our party; but no party ever existed without some mixture of selfishness, though we be lieve the Conservative party to be the party most free from the taint that ever existed. However, some selfishness there is in the tarty, and experience tells that lawyers are not the men least likely to purse it. Let the public, under favour a much more competent cribunal upon such a subject than the bar, look to what Lord Lyndhurst has done. lie has selected ten Gentleman, all eminent, we re-assert it, in one or other department of the profession of the law, men who have been all of them a considerable time subject to the criticism—the most jealous of all criticism—the criticism of eager competitors, and upon whose inte grity and honour no whisper of imputation has been directed, whose good common sense is not in any in stance impeached, and vs hose professional learning and skill are questioned only upon false representation of professional failure—itself a very equivocal proof of such deficiency as is imputed, even were it as truly as it is falsely alleged. KING OF PRUSSIA'S SPEECH. BERLIN, Nov. 13.—The following is the Speech of the King of Prussia, on closing the session of the provincial States. After the Assembly had been for mally dissolved by the Minister, the Deputies were conducted to the King's apartments, where his Ma jesty received them, and spoke to them to the follow ing effect : "He had not, he said, - thought proper to address them in person on their first assembling together, , for if he had done' so,he could only have . t en d ere d tem good advice, or have spoken to them of the confidence he reposed in them. Neither of these courses had ap. peared suitable to him. The word confidence' had been so much abused in modern times, that he shOUld have felt less inclined than ever to speak of it, at a time when the presence of the Committees was in itself the best proof that could be given them of the confidence reposed in them by their King. "To have tendered them good advice would, he thought, have been wholly unbecoming; but now, when they had brought their labours to a close, it be came-his duty to address them in terms of thankful acknowledgment. At a moment when he saw him self surrounded by deputies from all the provinces, his heart felt a longing to speak openly to them. With the utmost attention and interest, nay, he might say, with the utmost fondness, he had, since 1823, observed the progress and development of the provincial States, anti he had called together Committees of those States. Firstly, to form a central point, which was not possible according to the Constitution as previously existing ; and, " Secondly, to consult, noiselessly, but efficaciously as to what was best for the country and the nations character. " He was of opinion that every representative as zernbly—whether a Communal or a Provincial Diet, a Committee or an assembly of Commiiteez—com bined in itself a double character, and he felt it of im portance that he should explain his opinion on this subject to the members present. The States were the representatives of their own legitimately-acquired rights, and of the rights of those who had elected them ; and, secondly, they were the independent ad visers of the Crown, of an independence nowhere else to be found, their own independence strengthened by the mandate of those whom they represented. " Of this truth every representative ought to be fully aware, and not less of the truth that he was not to be a representative of the mere wind of opinion, or of the ephemeral doctrines of the day. It had af forded him much satisfaction to recognise this con viction in the proceedings of the States from their first institution ; particularly in the Diets last assem bled, whose proceedings had gratified him much. He charged them, when they returned to their several provinces, and resumed their pl aces i n th e assem bli es that had deputed them, to convey his acknowledg ments to those assemblies. " He had felt desirous of addressing these remarks to them, and at the same time to assure them of his cordial thanks, fur the spirit in which they had con ducted their deliberations, and for the complete man ner in which they had justified the confidence he had reposed in them." After this address his Majesty entered into familar conversation with several of the members, who all ap peared to be in the highest spirits when they left the palace. BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, Nov. lB.—The samples in the offices consisting almost exclusively of low sugars, for which there is no demand, the transac tions have been on the most limited scale. The whole trade seems to be partaking in the dulness of the season and in the general depression of business. The fruit market continues to decline, and offers have been ac cepted under our last low quotations.—Bristol Mercury. EXECUTION IN FRANCE.—Francois Gateau, con demned to death in August last, for attempting to Murder his wife, under most aggravated circumstances, was executed at Poitiers on the 3d inst. The Droit gives the following account of the execution :—" As the public authorities thought it advisable, in order to strike the mind of the people, to have this execution made as.publie as possible, the day and hour had been stated beforehand. Hence an immense crowd had as sembled, and the rush round the scaffold was so great, that it was necessary to place a doubl e li ne o f foot soldiers and caval r y to prevent confusion. Gateau expressed a wish to walk - to the place of execution. This he did firmly enough; but on seeing the instru ment of death, he turned pale, and appeared ready to faint. Supported by his confessor, the Abbe Pascal, he, however, went up the steps steadily, and, having knelt down , received his benedicti on . I n h a lf a mi nute after he ceased to exist. From some misma nagement, the body was not sufficiently secured to the plank, and the knife, in severing the head, caused the body to roll over on the scaffold. Th e execu tioner's men hastened to p lace it in the wicker basket destined to receive it, but, in their haste to quit the spot, they forgot the head. In vain (lid the 'Commis sary of Police send to seek them, they were not to be found, and the head remained. where it fell, no person consenting to touch it. At last, the Magistrate, using his authority, ordered the carman, who was waiting for the body, to throw the head into the basket. This the man refused to do, and it was not until after seve ral minutes' resistance that he made up his mind to obey. The head being at last taken away .with the body, the crowd dispersed." there is a' riuMb er of beautif u l - oa k trees, ENGLISII OAK—W ORICSOP.—It i s well kn o wi n n that greatest perfection, growing in the neighbourhood of Worksop, but more partieularly near. to Welbeek, the seat of his Grace, the Duke of Portland, Some ofwhich trees are or great antiquity, and of an immense size; and others, again; may be seen, exhibitin g every ece,e in a state of luxuriant groWth. The number of oak trees which have been cut down during the last few years have been ea g erly sought after, and pur c h ase d , at very high prices, by the ship builders of both llull and Liverpool, quantities' of which have been transported to both - of these important towns. It appears, now, that`i the Government officers have turned their at tention to the valuable oak timber grown in this neighbourhood, as there • are, at the present time, a number of workm e n employed, under an officer from London, in cutting up a large quantity of trees, which have been purchased for the use of her Majesty's navy. We understand that these oaks are of such an excellent quality that, during the last week, upwards of sixty bushels of acorns, collected from the finest trees growing on the Sher wood Forest snd Clumber estates, have been forwarded to the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, to be sown in her Majesty's plantations in Hampshire. The country is much indebted to the Right Hon. the Earl of Lincoln, for his good judg ment and persevering industry in obtaining the choicest and finest description of acorn to improve the growth of the oak in her Majesty's Woods and Forests.—Doneaster Gazette. CONVENT IN LIVERPOOL.—In Mount Vernon street, at the top of Pembroke-place, a building has just been erected, which must prove of considerable interest to those who • have never seen a place of the same description. It is intended f or a C onvent, i s built i n the Gothic style, and has a very neat appear ance. The premises are nearly finished, and will be ready, we believe, about the beginning of th e y ear . The Si s t ers of Mercy, who are about to commence their labours in this town. in visiting the sick and ministering to the wants of the lowest and most de graded of the human race, are coming, Vve believe, from Dublin and Birmingham. —Liverpool Mercury.

TIIE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1842. without any payment whatever, by the party who owes it ; in another event by a payment of 17,500/. for five years ; either of which modes of pay ment must,be admitted to possess the merits of singu lar novelty and remarkable convenience to the debtor. 13ut are they equally convenient to the creditor ? We • have only to look at their effect upon the Bondholders of 1836, in order to be convinced that they are not. In the first place, according to this plan, the Bondholders would for the present receive no part of their capi tal or arrears of dividends. In the second place, if the Brazilian Government kept np the sinking fund to the amount agreed of 5 per cent. per annum, the redemption of the bonds of 1836, which ought to take place altogether and immediately, would be effected by driblets during a period of about 14 years. If the Brazilian Government did not keep un the sinking fund, the redemption would be effected at a rate so much slower still, that it would last about 30 years, and the only mode by which the Bondholders could arrive at a more speedy. settlement of their claim would be by availing them selves of the option o f accept i ng, at t h e end of the first five years, 1211. ss. of Brazilian stock in exchange for a 1001. bond of 1836, including the present ar rears of dividends thereon, or, in other words, of taking 1211. ss. Brazilian stock in lieu of 111.1. ss. in money, or at the erroaemsly high price of more than 91 per cent. " Whether I have, in every respect, quite correctly understood the effects of a scheme so complex as is involved in the first proposal of the Government, I will not venture positively to assert. But thus much at least is clear, that this scheme is so intricate, and would be so uncertain in its operation, that it is so contrary to the spirit of the contract of 1836, that it proposes to purchase such enormous pecuniary ad vantages to the Government by imposing such severe sacrifices upon the Bondholders; and lastly, that it would protract for so lon g a period the final liquida tion of the claims of those who have been greatly in convenienced and injured by past delays, that I can have no hesitation on the part of the Bondholders et - horn I have consulted, not only in declining this pro posal, but also in stating that I should decline any other proposal founded on a similar basis. " I proceed, therefore, to consider the second propos sition, which is so far satisfactory to the Bondholders, as it appears to them to be grounded upon the only principle which is correct and consistent with the con - tract of .836, the principle, namely, that the bonds to be received from Brazil ought to be applied at once, as far as they will go, towards the discharge of what is due for capital and arrears of dividends on the bonds of that year, and that the deficiency should be supplied by Portugal. But in applying that principle, the hold ers think that the proposal involves errors so grave and obvious, that it is only necessary to point them out, in order that the Government itself may be anxious to correct them. It is suggested that the 632,000/. bonds to be received from Brazil should be accepted by the Bondholders as worth 622,702/. that is to say, at the price of 85 per cent. ; and that for the balance (which even according to this mode of calculation would remain due) of the principal and interest, Portuguese Converted bonde should be issued to an equal nominal amount—or, in other words, that the Bondholders should accept Portuguese bonds at the price of 100 per cent. Now, in your letter of the 12th of October last, you de scribed the terms proposed by the Convention of the 22d of July for the payment of the Brazilian Debt as 'so unreasonable,' that the Portuguese .Government had hesitated to ratify the Convention, a remark which (as you were yourself a party to the former Convene tion fixing the amount of the debt) of course applies to the mode of payment proposed, a payment in Bra zilian bonds, taken at 85 per cent„ but of which the market value is about 56. It does then appear not a little singular that although in speaking of Brazil, your debtor, you considered this mole of payment unrea sonable, you should now desire to force upon us, your creditors, without any loss on your part, the same Unreasonable mode of payment so far as respects a portion of our demand. But this is not all. For Portugal, improving upon the plan (which when practised by Brazil it complained of) of forcing creditors to accept in payment stock at an exorbitant price, desires that after taking for part of our demand Brazilian stock worth about 56 or 85 per cent.,we should receive, for what, even according to this mode of cal culation, would still remain due to us, Portuguese stock, really wosth 33 per cent. at the price of 100. Now, Sir, if you, observing the caution of diplomatic language, have . yourse lf d ec l are d t o b e unreasona b le the first part of their proposal, when made to you by Brazil, what term do you expect British creditors, who are in the habit of speaking plainly, to apply—what term would you yourself apply to the last ? " But let me put the plan suggested in another point of view, which will perhaps make its real na ture more obvious still. There is now, as already no ticed, due to each holder of a Portuguese bond, of 1836, 1111. ss. On the Brazilian bonds being divided, every such holder would receive, as you remark, about 105/. of Brazilian stock ; and if this be reckoned at the present market price of 56 (and the present market price is the only one at which it can be reckoned, by men who deal in facts and figures, and not in fancies), it would be worth about 58/. 16s. This sum bein g deducted from 111/. ss. would leave a deficiency of 5 21. 9s. due to the holder, and which ought at once to be paid by does the Gove rnmen t of this d e bt ? N o thi ng, propt e G o se v t e o r n g m i v e e n itn. Alici u n i d d a e t v i o h n a t absolutely nothing, but 221. 10s., Portuguese. Con verted stock, which at the present market price of 33 per cent. is worth about 71. lez. Thus, then, it is proposed to liquidate a debt of 521.'95., with stock worth about 71. 10s., or, in other words, by a payment of rather less than three shillings in the pound. I am sure, Sir, that the Government will at once perceive that if at the very moment when it is expressing, and I doubt not sincerely, its desire to discharge its obligations to the best of its abilities, the Bondholders accepted for so much of their debt as their special security is insuf ficient to cover, a payment of less than three shillings in the pound, they would thereby be proclaiming to the world their conviction, that such a payment is all that is to be expected on debts due from your Government, and not specially secured, arid would thus act in a manner at once inconsistent with any due regard to their own interest, and deeply in jurious to the credit of Portugal. "For the reason above stated, I am under the necessity of declining, on behalf of the Bondholders, for whom I am acting, the second prop osa l as we ll as the first. "And here I believe that I might, without im propriety, stop. For I have fully explained the grounds of our objections ; the Government would, I think, have no difficulty (as I have no doubt it would be desirous), to frame a fresh proposition which might better conciliate with its own interests the rights of the .Bondholders. I think, however, that time may be saved by my at once suggesting a scheme such as the holders whom I have consulted would be disposed to accede • to. In forming this scheme, we have acted upon the belief, that on the one hand the Government feels how essential it is to the credit of Portugal (the loss of which could ill be compensated by any immediate pecuniary advantage) to pay its debt in full, (and this would not be done, nor would it be considered by the public to have been done, if we were compelied to take in payment stock at more than its market value,) but that, on the other hand, it would be inconvenient, with reference to the present means of Portugal, immediately to discharge the whole of that portion of war demand which would not be covered by the Brazilian debt, and that the Go vernment would therefore prefer to discharge a part of it by instalments. " With these views I suggest the following " PLAN OF LIQUIDATION. Baron TOLOAS said, the positiiin in which they at present stood had not been touched upon. In 1836 a negotiation was entered into, at London, for the payment to Portugal of the Brazili an B on d s . That negociation wa s to have been ratified in a given time, but after the lapse of five years they found themselves in precisely the same position as in 1837. The question between the Bond holders and the Portuguese Government appeared to him to be how they could best obtain the ratification of the treaty between the Brazilian and Portuguese Governments, unless Sir 1. - L. Goldsmid would gua rantee the carrying out of his plans, as the Portuguese Government might delay for another fi ve y ears . The CHAIRMAN said he had the highest opinion of the honesty of the Portuguese Government, and he did not believe they would in any way act dishonourably. After a very long conversation, Mr. THORNTON said he thought the best plan would be to call a public meeting at the London T avern , and he sh ou ld therefore propose that a meeting be held next week. Baron TOLGAS seconded the motion, which was lost, no one supporting it. It was then agreed that the letter read by the Chair man should be sent forthwith, and the meeting sepa rated. " Ist Article—That the 732,0001. bonds to be re ceived from Brazil shall be immediately divided among the holders of the 700,0001. bonds of 1836, which would give to each holder of a 100/. bond about 105/. Brazilian stock. " 2d Article—That this stock shall be taken at the present market price of 56 per cent., yielding, as the value of the 105/. stock, 581. 16s. in money, which sum being deducted from the 111/. ss. now due to each holder of a 1 00/. bond, would leave 52/. 9s. as the balance due to him. "3d Article— Thatone-halfofthisbalance 0f52/. 9s. shall be at once discharged by the delivery of a suffi cient amount of Portuguese Converted bonds, autho rised by the decree of 2d November, 1840, and va lued at the present market price of 33 per cent. "4th and last Article—That the remaining half of the above-mentioned balance of 52/. 9s. shall be paid by four equal instahnents of 6/. 11s. each, on the Ist of December, 184 3, 1844, 1845, and 1846; each such instalm en t to be discharged by the delivery of a sufficient am ount of Portuguese bonds of the descrip tion before ref erred to, and valued at what may then be the market price of the day. " It now only remains for me to remark, -that I be lieve this plan to be well calculated to reconcile the that I trust, therefoe it will receive the assent of the interests of Portugal Government. and of the Bondholders, and " The advisers of her Most Faithful Majesty must, I and welfare of Portwrah that this long protracted maaltntesrurse; deeply f eel how important it is to the honour should be settlel at oncP, and upon a satisfac tory basis, more especially as they have through the Portuguese =Minist er at this Court, and with a view to expediting that settlement, requested and obtained the support of G reat Britain (a support usually re served for the c l a i ms of British subjects) in aid of the demands of Port u, 1 -fal against Brazil, and have thus in , the _strongest manner directed to this question the attention of the British Government.

" To the Conseiller De Paiva Pereira da Se He hardly knew that it Was necessary, after the ex pression, of sentiments by the gentlemen whom he represented, to say many words ; but he would just call the attention of the Bondholders to the nature of their position. The principal holders were original, holders, and therefore the loss to them would be very severe, because their loss would be to the extent of Jill. ss. 11d. There was another party who had been driven by circumstances, and the want of money, to sell their stock ; to them he could afford no relief, because they sold at a sacrifice. But the party who purchased that stock did not feel this loss so severely, because they had purchased with the pros pect of a small profit. Any of these par ties he would most willingly represent as much as any other. He had taken a great deal of trouble to ascertain the "sentiments of the holders of bonds I throughout the country, and from all he had received communications entrusting him with their claims. He thought the assurance of the Ministers of Por tugal was strong and conclusive, and that it . would be honourably adhered to.—(Hear, bear.) It was there fore with no little surprise, that Ile had received the communication which had been read. He was quite sure that the suggestion did not emanate from the Portuguese Government, but from some person in this country. He had known of one in stance, and he spoke advisedly of a plan having been forwarded from this country to Portugal, but which had. not been acted upon. lie should send his proposition, backed by the consent of nearly the whole of the Bondholders, the number of the bonds being sent with it, which would show that he was the bona fide representative of the Bond holders therein. If any persons entertained a dif ferent view of the case he would pledge himself faith fully to represent his views to the Government of Portugal.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RAMSBOTTOM wished the names of the parties who had entrusted their claims to the chairman, but it was objected to by the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then inquired if any gentleman present wished to subscribe to the proposition which had been read. He had already the names of persons holding nearly GOO,OOO/. of the 700,0001. Mr. SAMUEL SAMUEL 3, and several other gentle men, who represented large Ben lholders, said they would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Chairman. PORTUGUESE BONDS PROPOSAL L-TRANSLATION. " That the Government of her Most Faithful Majesty engages to deposit at the Bank of England the bonds they might receive from Brazil, conformably to the terms of the Conven tion of the 22d July last, which bonds amount to the nominal sum of 732,0001., and to apply the in terest thereon, at five per cent. per annum, to the payment of the di v id en d s o f th e provisional fund of 1 1836, and in like manner the balance of that interest, and the sinking fund which Brazils is also to pay to the redemption at par by contos, of the said fund of 1836, giving to the same the value of 10 per cent. over the maximum of 90 per cent., fixed in the re spective contract as a compensation for the arrears which on the Ist December next will amount to 21 ; ; per cent., and would thus come to be paid at the real value of 50 per cent. "That in default of payment by Brazils of the sink ing fund for the said redemption at par, the Govern ment of her Most Faithful Majesty engages to con tribute annually the sum of 17,500/., being the amount of the half dividend they are now paying on the 700,0001. of the fund of 1836; and that as soon as by the progress of the redemption eff ec t e d by these means, an by the increasing amount of in terest on the bonds of ,Brazils, the deposit on these securities will stand in- the proportion of 1211. ss. to every 1001. bonds of 1836. The Government of her Most Faithful Majesty engages further to make the exchange of one kind of bonds for the other in the said proportion, that is to say, to deliver 1211. ss. Brazilian bonds deposited for every 1001. bonds of 1836, with the arrears accumulated thereto, which brings their value to the same nominal amount of 121/. ss. on the Ist December of this year. "That is the event of the Bondholders not agreeing to this invirsion at that time, the Government of her Most Fait:Teal Majesty will continue to contribute the same stun of 17,5001. towards the redemption afore said, withdrawing, however, thenceforward and suc cessively from the deposit all the sums in the Bra zilian bonds that will exceed the stated proportion of 1251. ss. for every 1001. bonds of 1836, with the ar rears accumulated thereto.

" Public Treasury, 31st October, 1842. (Signed.) " PAR AO DO TOJAL. " A true translation from the original. " G. C. de BRITO, Sec. to the Agency." He would then read the letter which was about to be sent in answer : " London, Nov. 18, 1842. " Dear Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge he receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, inclosing two propositions from the Portuguese Government, for the liquidation of the debt due to the Bondholders of the loan of 1836, contracted by me on the colla teral security of the debt due from Brazil to Por tugal, which propositions you request me to lay before the Bondholders, and to inform you of their resolution thereupon. ' " In conformity with this request, I have done my best to ascertain the sentiments of the holders of as large a proportion as possible of those securities ; and I am now enabled to make to you the following ob servations as the result of the opinions ofholders of stock of 183 C, equal in amount to between 550,000/. and 600,0001., out of 700,0001., the total amount cf stock of that loan remaining in circulation. " The Bondholders receive with satisfaction your statement that the Government is actuated by a sin cere wish (which, indeed, the Bondholders have always felt confident that it must entertain) to settle this matter on the basis of its engagements. But they think, and have no doubt that the following remarks will show, that this desire o n th e par t o f t h e G ovel a merit would not be carried into effect by either of the proposals which it has directed you to submit for their consideration. "With regard to the first proposal, to deposit (namely) in the Bank of England the bonds to be received from Brazil, in order that the same may be applied in the manner which you have specified, (and which would occupy a considerable number of years) in payment of the dividends and towards the redemption of the Portuguese bonds of 1836, it is to be observed that this delay is directly contrary to the original contract, which directs that what is received from Brazil shall be applied, as it is received in redemption of the bonds in question, and also to the letter explanatory- of. that contract, which was signed by you and the Charge d'Affaires of Portugal in June 1837, in consequence of my having made a further advance of ninety-two thousand pounds for the payment of the dividends on the Regency bonds, and in which letter you engage on behalf of the Govern ment that all bond.s and securities which may he de livered by Brazil, in respect of its debt to Portugal, shall, at the time of the same being delivered, be de. posited in the Bank of England, in the joint names of in at myself tentwhue: a t,to n hstua d i sltefiehriemoss original agents y e i nae t lso proposaleoof contract meanst immediately e elti atfiho, Government, ilertaohpneipl ooietandonobjection I n ait rilcoBc o n3o r dr6:e. to which s admit (about which there can, indeed, b e no difference of opi n i on ) t h at there is now due to each holder of a 100/. bond of 1836, 931. for principal, and (allowing for a h a lf di v i dend to be paid next month) 21/. ss. for arrears o f i n t erest. This amounts to 111/. ss. on each 100/. bond, or to rather more than 778,0001. on the 700,000/. bonds. Now, the 732,0001. stock to be delivered by Brazil (if estimated, not at the fanciful price of 85 per cent. set upon it by the Brazilian Government, but at the market price of 56 per cent., which similar Brazilian stock now bears) is worth rather less than 410,0001. ; and as the con tract for the loan of 1836 obliges the Portuguese Government to contribute any sum by which the Brazilian debt may be, insufficient for redeeming that loan, it follows that Portugal ought now to pay for that purpose the difference between 778,0001.. and 410,0001., or about 368,000/. Now what sum does your first proposal suggest that Portugal should contribute in lieu of the sum now really due of above 360,0001.? Is it suggested that the contribution should be 300,0001. or 200,0004 ? No, it is proposed that if Brazil should fulfil (as it is to be presumed that it will) its obligation respecting the sinking fund on the new Brazilian bonds, Portugal should pay nothing either now or at any future period; but that if Brazil should fail in this obligation, Portugal should contribute fur the redemption of the bonds in 1836, 17,5001. a-year, until the amount of those bonds shall be so reduced as to bear to the 732,000/. Brazilian I onus, the propor tion of 1001. to 121/. 55., or in other words till the amount of bonds of 1336 shall he reduced to 620,0001., which would be accomplished in about five years. This is all that in any event it is suggested that Portugal should pay out of its own funds ; for as the subsequent cc ntingent payment of 17,5C01. a year is intended to entitle Portugal to withdraw a corresponding proportion of Brazilian bonds depo sited, this sum would in fact be raised out of the Brazilian bonds,_ and w ou ld no t come out of the funds of Portugal. Thus, then, we see that the effect of the proposal under consideration is that a debt of i 1 above 360,000/. is to b e ext i ngu i s h e d , i n one event, A Meeting of the Holders of Portuguese Bonds was held yesterday at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, for the p ur p ose o f h ear i ng th e propos i t i on made by -t& Portuguese Government to liquidate the claims ofitn6 Bondholders, and the reply prepared by parties i•eipteaenting a large portion of the loans. Sir I. L. GOLDSMID took thci Chair, and said he had. taken the liberty of calling them together in con sequence ofa communication which he had received from the Portuguese Government in reply to his letter. The last letter to them stated that he would be glad la' have any communication the Government might think proper to make, in order th a t h e m i g ht su b m i t it to the Bondholders. He had received that commu nication, and he had taken considerable pains to ascer tain the sentiments of the Bondholders upon it, as many of them could not attend, in order to determine upon the line of conduct the Bondholders ought to pursue. He then came forward to tell them that he had heard those statements, and they were satisfactory to him. The original loan was 700,b00/., and he had got the concurrence of the holders of 600,0001. for the line of conduct which he recommended. There still remained a number of Bondholders who held from 100,0001. to 150,0001. of bonds, and the present meeting was called for the purpose of consulting their opinions. If they differed from the line he proposed he should be most happy to represent their interests to the best of his power to the Portuguese Government.—(Hear, hear.) He would take the liberty of reading the communication which had been made to him by the Portuguese Go: vernment, and also the answer which he haSprepared, after which he would make a few observations upon it. The first letter was signed Barao do Tojal, and was as follows : ST. PANCRAS YESilt?. On Wednesday a special meeting of the St. Pan cras Vestry took place at the Vestry-rooms, Gordon square, for the purpose of receiving the official Report of Messrs. Tremenhere and Twisselton, the Special Poor-law Commissioners recently appointed to investi gate the state and education of the pauper children, and also the further Report of the Directors and Guardians of the Poor thereon. Mr. G. HouGnToN, the Senior Churchwarden, having been called to, the chair, the Report of the Assistant Poor-law Commissioners was read. Mr. M‘Gaunir, the Vestry-Clerk, then proceeded to read the Report of the Directors of the Poor. After some details upon the state of the information and intelligence possessed by the children, The Report terminates as follows :—" The Directors, in conclusion, have to suggest to the attention of the Vestry that the Special Commission and the proceed ing:; thereunder are illegal and void, inasmuch as one of the Special Commissioners (Mr. Twisselton), being an Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, is, by the Act sth and Gth Victoria, chap. 57, expressly de clared incompetent to act as a Commissioner under any such Special Commission, the object of the Legis lature being evidently that such special inquiries should for the future be conducted by persons not immediately dependent upon the Poor-law Com missioners. The Vestry will, therefore, determine whether or not legal steps ought to be taken to have the Commission and all its proceedings set aside." The Report having been adopted, The CHAIRMAN said it had been suggested that some steps should immediately be taken by the Vestry to invalidate the Special Commission and its proceed ings, on the ground of illegality , . Mr. DOUGLAS thought a Committee ought to be appointed. He would contend, against anything the Commissioners might offer, that the religious state of the poor in the workhouse was better now than it was when they had a hired chaplain, at a salary of 120/. a year. Mr. STOCK moved the appointment of a Committee to inquire into and report to the Vestry on the pro priety of taking legal steps to invalidate the whole of the proceedings of the recent Special Poor-law Com mission ; and, in doing so, expressed his r egre t th a t the Directors (of which ody he is a member) had not taken earlier notice of the subject, feeling con vinced, that if there was reason for a second inquiry, the Poor-law Commissioners would permanentlycome into the parish. The motion having been seconded, was carried una nimously, and the Vestry separated, after a sitting of several hours. NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS YESTERDAY.--Three dread, ful accidents occurred in the course of yesterday the unfortunate sufferers from which were all ad mitted into St. Thomas's Hospital within the short space of an hour. The first was that of James Burn, 48 years of age, a labourer, employed at Galley Quay, Thames-street, who, whilst engaged in piling up a large quantity of bar-iron on the wharf, 4he whole pile, weighing upwards of 20 tons, suddenly fell, and buried him underneath. Upwards of an hour elapsed before the unfortunate man could be extricated. His right leg being broken to pieces, on being received at the hospital, amputation was immediately resorted to. The ( peration had scarcely been performed when another man, named Joseph Blackman, nearly 70 years of age, a drayman in the employ of Messrs. - .Marsh= and Co., brewers, of Lewisham, was laid on the surgical table, with his right leg fractured in a shocking manner, caused . by a butt of beer falling upon him, whilst unloading at the Nelson Tavern, Deptford ; amputation was also in his case resorted to. Another man was admitted into the hospital, whose name was Thomas Roberts,. 40 years of age , a b ack maker, in the emp l oy of Messrs. Young and Co. of the Borough. He was engaged in erect:ng a new vat at the brewhouse of Messrs. Barclay and Perkins, when he overbalanced himself, and fell to the ground, a height of upwards of 30 feet; he was taken up in sensible, and conveyed to the hospital, where it was found that his skull wan fractured, and his right leg broken. Not the slightest hopes are entertained of his recovery.

In the corn market a limited business has been doing, and prices generally a shade lower. At the beginning of the week there was a fair demand for cotton, and steady prices, but the demand has in creased and a good business has been done. The market in Manchester, for both goods and yarns, is better, and there was a better market on Tuesday. The stuck of goods and yarn is by no means heavy, which inspires the hope of constant employment fo - r the operatives during the winter. In general ness in Liverpool, there is not much activity. In the share market the principal business is for investment, which is at present limited in extent, without much fluctuation in prices.—Liverpool Mercur TSIS Itur.lNG PassloN.—Sigourney, the celebrated punster when near his death, overheard a servant, in form the ' doctor in a whisper, that a certain person had fallen into the well.
