Interest at the rate of five per cent will be charged on such shires as the call is not paid upon by the First Day of iNrovemb , r, gale shar es on whieh the call shall rtimain unpaid for two ndar months from that date will ha liable to forfeiture. r temporary. The fact seam to be, that their avail able property is, for the moment, all locked up in gra naries, owing to the impracticable state of the trade. Messrs. Hunter and Coventry were members of the Society. of Friends, and Mr. Coventry is so still, but the senior partner of the firm, Mr. hunter, has been some years deceased. This failure has, it appears, been in no degree brought on by speculation, as was the case with some other houses in the same line of business which have given way. The event has called forth very general expressions of regret on the part of the commercial body. No. V,6;55. LONDON. OCTOBER 28, 1842. FRIDA_Y 9 • - , •• PRICE sd. By order of the Cour+, E.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The intelligence conveyed in the letter of our Berlin Correspondent is truly of a most important character. Representatives from the different provinces of Prussia have as sembled within her capital, called by the King to deliberate in Council on t h e collect i ve i nterests of the nation. It was remar k ed by maeldavel, that while in his time the Italians, Spaniards, and French were little regulated in their con duct by correct moral principles; the Germans, on the oth,r hand, were remarkable fir their honesty. And he cites, as one proof of their singular honesty, the fact, that the different Im perial towns provided fir their expenses by a tax on property, each citizen being allowed the pri vilege of secret assessment and payment, and that the sum raised always corresponded with the estimate. The Germans are still distin guished for their honesty; and though there is a great deal of over-government in all the States, and many things are done for the people which they ought to be allowed to do for themselves, yet almost all intelligent foreigners, who have resided any lime in Germany, are agreed in opinion that the different rulers are, for the most part, well-intentioned, and that the people do practically eejoy most of the advan tages of the socitil union. The Government of Prussia has always .been considered absolute; but the Government -has always been considered not only enlightened, but mild. No man in Prussia entertains the slightest apprehension, that so long as his conduct is irreproachable his person and property are not perfectly secure. The most perfect confidence is reposed in the ad ministration of justice. In many, many respects, England might take a lesson from Prussia. One great cause of the content in Prussia is, that no class is vested with the power of trampling on other classes. There is not one law for the rich and another for the poor. Still such a government is defective. With the best inten tions, its measures may not be the best calculated to promote the prosperity of the people. It is proper that those who are to be affected by laws and regulations,' should have a voice with re spect to them. The first step towards remedy her this defect, is taken in the assembling of a national council at Berlin. The mode ofchoos ino• the representatives, and the extent of powers committed to them, cannot be gathered from the letter of cur Correspondent. The objects, how ever, on which they are called to deliberate are of the very first importance—the reduction of taxes, the establishment of a general system of railroads, and the regulation of river communi cations. The late King of Prussia promised a representative constitution to his subjects. With out attempting to defend the non-fulfilment of the promise, we may observe that, in a country like Prussia, formed of provinces connected only by being under one head, and inhabited by diffe rent races of men, with powerful neighbours on every side, it was not unnatural that the King should dread the taking a step which he could not retrace, whatever the consequences. Time may have done much to cement the Prussian Mo narchy, and to dispel the causes of apprehension which weighed with the former King. Be this as it may, the present Sovereign has by this import ant step given a proof of the confidence which he reposes in his people. We trust the experi ment will be attended with the success which it so eminently deserves—and that Sovereign and people will be united more closely by a measure which ca❑ have originated only in an honest wish to contribute to the welfire of the nation. There is in the letter of our Correspondent an allusion to the indifferent success with which constitutional experiments have been made in France. The observation would have been ap propriate after the trial of the Prussian experi ment. It is certainly true, however, that our French neighbours seem to move very awkwardly in constitutional harness. What Mr. Dickens says of the Americans, may, with far more truth, be applied to the French—they repose no trust in one another. The genius of restlessness seems to have possession of them. It was observed of them by a great historian of a country which suffered much from their interference, namely, Switzerland, that the French could neither be happy themselves, nor allow any other people to be happy. To other nations France is a subject of painful interest—of apprehension. This will be attended with one good cifect : it will force the Germans to have constantly present to their minds the necessity of being unitedamong themselves. TINIES.—It is, of course, with the greatest difficulty that any one not practically versed in the politics of Canada can pronounce an opinion upon the late important step of Sir Charles Bagot, in calling to his councils men so notorious for past indisposition to the British Government as those who have lately accepted office with such circumstances' of triumph. One thing alone is certain—that it is the commencement of a new era in colonial government. It is a great expe riment, perhaps forced upon Sir Charles Bagot by the policy of his predecessors, but certainly of a most novel character, and the issue of which can only be looked to with the most extreme anxiety and diffidence. We have already ob served upon the desirableness ) t admitting the 1t French reh pin opulation government of L of owe . emu -4a to a larger That colony than has been hitherto conceded them. Many circum stances recommend such a course. Their own simple and honest character —their mere numeri cal importance—their indisposition to the alliance of our en eroacl ling and untrustworthy neighbours of the United States—all these circumstances point them out as fit recipients of a share, and a substantial one, of political power and in fluence. This, the late Act of Union of 1840, unpopular as it at first was with them, has at once given them. That Act conferred on a body of people not, we believe, at heart indisposed to the British protection, but still fermenting from the effects of late popular excitement, a prepon derance in the popular assembly of Canada. Not only this, but the theory of a responsible go vernment was established. The result may prove auspicious; we are willing to hope the best. But it is a somewhat ominous consequence of this new order of things that the Governor is compelled to call to his councils, on their own terms, men who have lately been proscribed, or in prison; and that the choice of individuals is justified upon the ground that the leaders of the French party, now predominant, were all in the same scrape, and that if any influential Frenchman at. all is now to aid in the Government of Canada, it must necessarily be one of those who were trai tors or suspected a few years back. The outset is nnfortunate ; not, we believe, from the fault of Sir Charles Bagot or the present Government, but from the indiscretion of those who have pre cipitated this revolution, who have left to their successors no choice between so perilous a risk as the present, and the still more daring alterna tive of suspending the fresh Canadian constitution, and supporting that suspension by the bayonets of the British soldiery, and the physical energy of a fraction of the inhabitants. We are told, that by these concessions the affections of the French arc for ever bound to the British Govern- meta, and that our troops may be withdrawn from Canada with no longer delay than is neces sary to find room for them in England. Such is usually the language of those who are gaining their point. This momentary popularity may indeed be the attendant upon a bold and well timed policy, but it may be the equally natural result of a weak and imprudent concession. Which it is, the future must decide. Two re marks only we would venture before concluding. One is this—that the present arrangements offer little prospect of permanence. Between th e English ultra-Reformers .and. the Fren c h colo nists there is no real community of interest or their pi ; u itciPi n e e . nte T r i p ' e ri singthough industrious patri arc hal habits of th e l atter, charac ters, their prejudices, simplicity, and nat i ve re finement of feeling:, render them no natural alli es o nfal t c h it e ig English active!prhing'independent, Radicalmoney malting ; and any con tinued union between two such parties, however possible in the loose warfare of opposition, can neither be hoped nor feared from them when e „gaged in the prac tical details of legislation and administra tion. The present coalition is a mere transitic‘u state; we shall have a nother shuffling of the cards before we can tell what is to turn up for Canada. Secondly, if we did not look fbrward to this second breaking up of rarties, our expecta tions would be more glooniy than th are. Al ready from within the Governor's Cabinet we hear sentiments broached o f no favourable nature to British supremacY—hitiinations, if we rightly understand them, of doubt whether the Act of the Imperial Legislature is conclusively binding on the colonies without the additional sanction of the colonial ratification. If this is to be the tune of the coalition, speedy be its dissolution ; fur such a spirit administering the affairs of the colony on the principle now apparently con ceded of " responsible," that is, in fact, inde pendent, local government, would be indeed a dangerous enemy to the Home authority; as the shrewd Yankee press has found out, telling us, with some admixture of contempt, that however generous, however worthy of a new era in go vernment, that principle may be, it is palpably at variance with the laws of colonial empire, and must disable us from holding that empire to gether one year after it has ceased to be sup ported by the most palpable and present coinci dence of interests. HBRALD.—We have never a moment doubt- ed, indeed we have incessantly proclaimed, tha, the soil of these islands, cultivated with all the enterprise which capital, knowledge, and neces sity are sure to beget, was capable of maintain ing a much larger population than the present. At the great national agricultural meeting held during the summer at Bristol, every practical, every scientific authority gave assurance of this capability —not as a result to be attained by boundless expenditure, and as a world's wonder only, but by the profitable investment of capital, by careful and judicious outlay, and as an every day working result. These assertions, doubtless, sounded strangely and incredibly on the ears of the backward agriculture of many southern Eng- • lish counties; but their truthfulness and accuracy • were manifest to all acquainted with agriculture in the Lothians of Scotland, or on the banks of the Tweed; and yet how much is there yet that remains undone even in those well farmed districts, though tile-draining, sub soil ploughing, and new manures are still increasing their production. Now there is not an English county which might not have its Lothians, as there is not one but which will, if landlords and tenants be wise and true to them selves, have its Lothians. The Scotch and north of England farmers, it is notorious, dire far less about Corn-law protection than do their brethren in the south, because their enterprise and spirit have actually made them far more independent thereof; and yet it is a well-known fact that Northumberland farmers have to struggle against lower prices and inferior quality of grain. We are not, in stating these facts, advocating dittiinished protection to native agriculture; but we do assert that the smaller the pro tection the farmers can cultivate with the better for themselves and the country; that energy is worth more to them than high duties ; and equalisation of public burdens is the justest demand they have on the Legislature. We claim for these views identity with the opi nions of the most intelligent landlords and the most successful tenants; and amongst all the recent proceedings of agricultural meetings, we have noticed none more satisfactory than those of two which have been lately holden at Saffron Walden and Hereford. The tone of the speeches at either was just what it ought to be in times like the present; there was no expression of de spair uttered, every sentence was full of mutual encouragement or confidence. The puerilites of the Morning Post were contemptuously noticed as specimens of the ignorance of men who write about what they do not understand; and we so licit attention to the speeches of Lords Bray brooke and Carnarvon, and Sir John Tyrell, at Saffron Walden, and of Mr. Barneby and Sir Robert Price at Hereford, as completely con firmatory of the opinions we have expressed. GLOBE.—The inquest on Charles Beale, who died soon after leaving the Northleach House of Correction, has been brought to a close, and the verdict affirms that the deceased died of a dis ease of the lungs, brought on and aggravated by the treatment he received whilst a prisoner. Such a decision as this must be regarded as strongly condemnatory of the sort of discipline to which the inmates of the Northleach prison are sub jected. But lest the censure of the Jury should be thought to apply to the system alone, they express " their unanimous disapprobation of the conduct of the Governor Townshend, the surgeon Bedwell, and the under-turnkey, Harding." It has become a question with some of our Contem poraries whether a verdict onght not to have been returned, not only censuring the parties by whose fault the death of Beale was occasioned, but declaring them to be guilty of a grave offence, of which the law takes cognisance. Our own opinion is that the verdict goes far enough. It leaves the question of criminality still open; and, if the facts are strong enough to bring any persons within the grasp of justice, there is nothing in the verdict to prevent them from being yet placed upon their trial. It is declared that Beale died of disease of the lungs, " brought on and aggravated" by his treatment in prison. It is not as if he had gone into the gaol with health already impaired—when, perhaps, the necessary discipline of a prison might have aggravated a malady of which the seeds had been previously sown; but in this case the cause of death was " brought on" by the treatment to which the de ceased was subjected. If there were more severity shown towards Beale than was required by the rules of the prison, the whole blame rests with the individuals who occasioned it. But if the management of the Northleach House of Correction is such, that any person confined in it is liable to contract a fatal disease under the ordinary treatment, then must the persons by whom that treatment is prescribed and sanctioned be held responsible. We do not see that Magistrates have any more right than other individuals to order, or permit, in an establishment under their control, such a course of management as may be destructive of human life. The direction of the internal arrangements of a prison is a duty to which responsibility ought to attach, as well as to the exercise of any less important functions. Though the local Magis trates have, in the case of the Northleach House of Correction, when sitting in judgment on their own conduct, passed a verdict of self-acquittal, they will not get off so easily at the bar of public opinion ; nor ought they to escape a legal tribu nal, if they have been guilty of ordering or permitting a series of enormities to be com mitted in the prison over whichthey had control. With regard to the conduct of the governor, the surgeon, and the turnkey, who aro expressly de nounced by name with the disapprobation of the Jury, inquiry cannot, of course, stop at the point it has already gone to. The surgeon, at least, must be wholly unfit for his office, if he erred in ignorance; and if the death of his unhappy patient was caused by ill treatment and neglect, we must forbear from saying of what we consider the medical man to have been guilty. A memo rial has been forwarded to the Secretary of State, and it is to be hoped that any inquiry that is un dertaken may be carried out in a different spirit from that which is too often shown when the conduct of persons in authority happens to be in question. Let every fair opportunity of justifica tion be afforded, and every facility given fin• the establishment of innocence, if it exist; but if there has been guilt, this is indeed a case in which an example should be made of it. STANDARD.—We are more vexed than sur prised to find that our remarks upon the Govern ment arrangements in Canada have provoked the dissatisfaction of more than one of our Irish Con temporaries. Were our censors parties less re spected by Its than they are, we could easily dis miss their reproofs by the short answer, " point out what better could be done, or be silent;" but giving them full credit for sincerity, and allowing for the strong sympathy that must exist between the loyal men of Ireland and the loyal men of Canada, upon the particular point under consideration—sympathy arising from the severe trials to which loyalty has been subjected in both countries—and the cir.! eumstance that in both the absence of a wider field of honourable enterprise in commerce and the professions renders the patronage of the Crown an object of very undue value—making, we say, these allowances, we feel that we owe a more explicit defence of the propositions we have affirmed. Mankind are always the same; and it is as true now as it was when Machiavel wrote—nearly four centuries ago—that there are but two ways of obviating the consequences of a rebellion; the one, bitterly to disable the rebels from renewing the wa r against you ; the other, to forget, as States only can forget, that is, practically, that the rebels ever were enemies. Men will, Of course, differ as to the choice of these courses, and that choice will, in the case of wise men, be determined by circumstances. We may, for ourselves, think that the first line is that which ought to have been preferred in Canada, and we have no wish to conceal our opinion that the best arrangement would have been one which, securing to the disaffected race the most perfect enjoyment of personal liberty and of their property, should have wholly stripped them of political power. It was upon this ground that we opposed the system of the Durham and Sydenham administrations, with which we are now reproached, as if such op position were inconsistent with the opinions we have lately offered. The choice, however, be tween utterly disabling the late enemies of her Majesty's authority in Canada, and an absolute oblivion of their hostility (the only choice, we repeat it, open to any Government) was no longer free when the present Administration succeeded to office. The Ministers to whom they succeeded had not only pardoned the hostile party—in which, after the rebellidn had been suppressed, they were right—but invested her Majesty's late enemies with a large share of politi ca l p ower : to retract that gift, once made, would be difficult, probably unjust, and certainly without precedent in the history of any civilised country. But to arm a party with power, and then practically to re member that that party had been hostile, such practical remembrance 'constituting a real, con stant proscription, would be to commit the ex treme folly of equipping and organising enemies with whom to wage eternal war. There was, then, no course open to the present Govern ment but that of absolute oblivion of all political offences committed in the province for the last fifteen years —an oblivion not merely nominal, but sincere and practical. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—To return to th 9 subject of the loan to the United States Bank by Messrs. Denison and Co., with deposit of State Stocks as collateral security, it may be useful to reprint the trust deed executed on that occasion, on behalf of the bondholders. It is as follows : "Whereas the President, Directors, and Company of the Bank of the United States, by a power of at torney, duly executed under the seal of the sai-1 Bank, and dated Philadelphia, August 23, 1839 (a duplicate of which is deposited with the undermentioned trus tees), have appointed Samuel Jaudon, late of Phila delphia, but now resident in London, their lawful at torney, with f u ll p ower t o deposit and hypothecate all State Stocks and other securities in his possession to them belonging, and to raise a loan or loans thereon for the use of the said Bank ; now, therefore, in virtue of the said power, I, the said Sa mue l J au d on, d o hereby dep os it and lypothecate in the hands of Messrs. Denison and Co., of London, the following State Stocks, viz.:- 617 certificates of Pensylvania 5 per cent Dollars. stock 300 bonds Michigan 6 per cent. stock 444 bonds of Mississippi 5 per cent. stock 888,000 Amounting altogether t 0... 4,450,000 " The above -mentioned stocks to be held by them in trust for securing the due re-payment of a loan of 800,000/., to be raised upon notes of the said bank, to be dated at London, the 14th day of October, 1839, and par ticularised as follows, viz. Notes. 1 to 100-100 notes of 500 each = 50,000 101 to 200-100 notes of 1,000 each == 100,000 201 to 325-125 notes of 2,000 each = 250,000 -400,0001., due April 15,1841. 326 to 425-100 notes of 500 each =-- 50,000 426 to 525-100 notes of 1,000 each = 100,000 526 to 650-125 notes of 2,000 each = 250,000 due April 15, 1842. " And we, the said Denison and Co., trustees as aforesaid, do hereby acknowledge the receipt of the said State stocks, and do engage to hold them as se curity for the due payment of the said notes ; and it is hereby agreed between the said trustees, acting for the holders of the said notes, and the said Samuel Jaudon, attorney, as aforesaid, that in the case of any default in the due payment of the said notes, or any of them, the said trustees shall be at liberty to sell or otherwise dispose of the said State stocks, or any part thereof, as to them may seem expedient, and apply the proceeds to the payment of the said notes or such of them as shall remain unpaid, the Bank of the United States alone remaining liable for any defi ciency that may occur. And further, that at any time previous to the aaturity of the said notes, the said trustees, if so requested by the said bank, s h a ll sell the said State stocks, or any part thereof, and ap ply the proceeds to the purchase of the said notes, if at or under par, or, if above par, to the liquidation of such notes as they may draw by lot from the whole number first maturing to an amount of not less at any one time than 20,0001. ; and the interest upon the notes so drawn shall cease one month after notice is given in the London Gazette of the numbers of notes which have been so drawn to be paid off. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals, this 12th day of October, 1839. " S. JAUDON, Attorney. " DENISON and CO.' By this document it will be seen that the deposit is intended to cover 800,0001., or two loans of 400,000/. each, of which the United States Bank can pay no portion, and the bonds deposited as se curity having ceased to pay interest, neither prin cipal nor interest on the bank bonds or debentures are forthcoming to the subscribers. The disposition of the security is therefore the remaining question between them and the contractors. A correspon dent has suggested, that Messrs. Denison and Co. should convene a meeting of the holders of the debentures, and take the opinion of the majority as to the future mode of proceeding, which appears reasonable enough, and not unworthy of considera• tion even with a view to their own protection. They do not intend, of course, either to adopt the debt, or take upon themselves the responsibility of the mode of realising the security, and would probably be glad to wash their hands of the whole affair. It would be useless now to discuss the prudence of the original contract, in favour of which there is very little to be said, but they are certainly bound by every consideration to us e their best exertions on behalf of the bondholders ~v h o supporte d them in it, and to treat all their ' app li ca ti ons to them with the utmost respect and t ouat esy .

The last mail from China was 120 days, and that now exp ected to arrive cannot be much less, yet it has been dc.me, as was stated the other day, through the employm en t o f a s t eam-vesse l , i n 73 d ays, and an instance occurred in the beginning, of the present year in which by employing a fast sailing-vessel it was accomplished in 87 days, and such vessels are gene rally to be hart, if steamers are not. It is to be hoped, seeing the general anxiety on the subject, that the Government or the East India Company will avail themselves of the mail of the 4th of November to send out instructions for a steady and improved mode of communication between India and China. HERALD.- —During the progress of the indigo sale, which closed yesterday, the purchases on ac count of the la nr.e trade were far more extensive than had been antic . ipited, and from the late period of the year at which tb .e sale terminated would appear to in dicate an imrfirm - ement in the business of the manu facturing di!stri2 ts. The total quantity thus disposed of amounts. to upwards of 2,000 chests, including a portion of the llots bought in during its progress, at an advance on the average of 6d. per lb. upon the prices paid in July. The exporters, and especially the Pet-inch, ha ,ve also bought extensively, and it is considered that had the importers been more mode rate in their 41emands consequent upon the late ad vices from Inefia, the whole of the large quantity about to be offered . ivould have been taken off. Besides this indication of a revival in the home trade, it may be noticed that the accounts of the wool market are equally satis factory, and recent intelligence from Yorkshire st ites the stocks there to be very materially reduced, anCi the demand for yarn to be extremely steady, the holders being firm in their prices, though the quantity shipped this year has not been so large as it was in 184'i. Meanwhile the home demandhas considerably inc Teased, particularly for lower qua lities of goods.

Take, for instance, the case of a person at the age of thirty, who, by the payment of N. 3s. 4d. to the Britannia Life Assurance Company, can become at once pos sessed of a bequeathable property, amounting to 1,0001., sub ject only to the condition of his continuing the same p a y men t quarterly during the remainder of his life—a conditi on w hi c h may be fulfilled by the me r e saving of EIGHT SHILLINGS weekly in his expenditure. Thus, by the exertion of a very i s light degree of econom y—such, ndeed, as can scarcely be felt as an inconvenience , he ma y at once realise a capital of 1,0001., which he can bequeath or dispose of in any way he may think proper.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WOOLWICH, OCT. 26.—The I)ee steam-vessel, Master Commander T. Driver, is expected to sail from Woolwich about the Ist of next month for the \\rest Indies, and will embark at the Dockyard here Ceptain Trevor's company, 2d battalion, and Captain Griffin's company, Bth battalion, for a passage to Bar -1-;:yloe,;, to relieve Major lleultain's company, 7th bat talion, and Captain Griffiths's company, 3d battalion, their period of service at that station having expired; the former having left Woolwich on the Bth of March, and the latter on the Ist of May, 1837, rendering their services in the West Indies about five years and a half. Captain Trevor's company was inspected at the Hospital on the 11th instant, and found a fine body of men. Captain Griffiths's company returned from Ireland on the 4th inst., and was inspected on the 6th on the guard-mounting parade by Colonel Paterson. Captain Hennis has joined, and is doing duty at Woolwich until the embarkation of the troops in the Dee, when he will also embark, and proceed to join his company, at present at I3arbadoes ; but, from its period of service there, it is probable it will be re lieved next year. The Sultana, Arab ship-of-war, undergoing a com plete renovation in the basin of the Woolwich Dock yard, is now nearly completed, and is expected to sail ahout the end of next week. This is the vessel which brought the beautiful little horses and other presents from the Imaum of Muscat to her Majesty some time ago. The British Government have been very liberal in providing for the crew three months' provisions of rice, sugar, cheese, and such other necessaries as the scru ples of the Mahomedans and castes of the Persians on board will permit them to accept, having been put on board. They will not accept of any animal food, as they only eat such as are killed by one of the crew. The number of sailors and slaves belonging to the vessel is upwards of 40, and they have a pilot captain, as they term him, who denominates himself a citizen of America, as his wife and children reside there, al though he has been in the service of the Imaum up wards of ten years. The pilot captain is, however, properly a Scotchman, having, as he says, been born in " the east neul; o' Fife ;" but, like many other members of that country, resolved to earn an honest penny in any part of the world where his lot might be cast, and appears quite contented with his present situation, although it is rather a heavy charge to be li responsible for the native captain and crew. The mullam, or mate, has got married to an English woman since he came to this country, and the na kador, or native captain, went to the parish church of Woolwich this morning to be married to a young girl from Deptford, with whom he had become acquainted at the time his vessel was lying there. The Rev. Mr. Greenlaw put several questions to the girl, and ascer tained that she was an orphan, and had no relations alive, and, therefore, he at once declined to perform the ceremony as the nakador could not speak one word of English. The worthy clergyman also stated to the girl that he would not marry her unless he was perfectly satisfied the native captain understood, through an interpreter, the nature and objects of the ceremony, and feelingly pointed out to the intending bride the probable usage she might expect in a foreign land. Whether the parties are married by this time is not known ; but they left Woolwich in the forenoon for Deptford, with the view of being married there. In answer to a question put by the pilot captain, one of the natives stated that the nakador had two wives in his own country already. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered ten anchors to be put on board the .Sultana, for the Imam, and the Board of Ordnance ten 12- pounder carronades, besides several other presents by order of her Majesty. The whole of the vessel has been newly rigged and painted; but the crew appear very dirty, although they daily pour buckets full of water over their heads, in compliance with the injunc tions of their religion. The RhadaManthus steam-vessel, Master Comman der Thomas Laen, arrived at Woolwich at five o'clock this afternoon from St. Petersburgh, and has brought dispatches from the Court of Russia, which were im mediately forwarded to the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs. CONSECRATION OP A ROMAN CATHOLIc BISHOP. —The Right Rev.

The Prussian States' Gazette, of the 19th inst., publishes the following account of the opening of the Session ofthe Committees of the Provincial States : All the members of the Committees of the Provin cial States having arrived at Berlin on the 17th, the solemn opening of the Session took place on the 18th in the Hall of the Palace allocated by the King for that purpose. As soon as the members of the As sembly had taken their places, a deputation composed of several members waited on the Ministers of State to apprise them that the members had assembled at the Palace. Count Arnim, Minister of the Interior, then proceeded to the Palace, and opened the Session with the following speech : " Princes and Gentlemen—His Majesty has ap pointed me to open the Session of the Committees of the States, conformably to the Cabinet order of the 19th of August last. Two years have elapsed since you assembled round the throne at the King's imita tion, to renew solemnly, in the venerated capital of an cient Prussia, and in this same place, the bonds of tilts King's love, and of the unalterable fidelity of Ilk; subjects. You have responded to this appeal joyfully, and there is no one amongst us who has not preserv4 the most lively recollection of those days when the legitimate Sovereign addressed his faithful people, and united them by the indissoluble bonds of love and of respect. He has at present again summoned the representatives of tie provinces, and they have again cheerfully assembled round the steps of the Throne. The unanimity with which Prussia, at the moment of taking the oath of allegiance, repeated to its King the sacramental affirmative, which had a long echo, and which was heard in the most remote provinces of the kingdom—that unanimity which, with the Divine assistance, has so materially contributed to the maintenance of peace—that same unity forms the element of your present meeting. The provinces of Prussia are united in their love for the King whenever it may be necessary to protect the national independ ence. The King confidently expects that the same una nimity will attend the deliberations of this assembly at a time when his sagacious will, through pure Royal grace, has carried into effect thisimportant complement of the institution of the States by assembling the several. councils. On those points where the opinions of the provincial States are divided, the Session of the Com mittees will unite and conciliate them. Whenever it shall be necessary to determine what are the wants of the country the Committee will point them out. Whenever it may be necessary for the King's Govern ment to consult the States on questions of administra tion by means of an organ, the Committee shall be the meditim. No doubt different opinions will be displayed in this assembly, and they will no doubt be debated with force and 'conviction, and the general good requires that it should be so. But whenever such a difference of opinion arises, this fraternal von test should be conducted with a view to the general welfare of Prussia, which is common to all, and with a recollection that we are assembled here as members of the same body politic, as faithful subjects of the same King. On this the first day of your assembling, the King's will has, from the height of the throne, offered, you, with full liberty, a gift of the most noble confidence. For that reason, this day will be ever remarkable as the most glorious of the reign of Frederick William IV. It will likewise be remarked in the annals of Prussia as one of the most happy. It will be a day of joyous recollection .for the King who has given it to us, and it will afford a flattering pledge to those who, by the confidence of the King and that of their provinces, • have been for the first tune invited to assemble round him. We have a sure guarantee of this in the tried zeal with which you will devot e y ourse lf to t h e ac complishment of your commission as faithful and conscientious subjects, in the sacrifice of your private interests whenever the public good shall require it, and by the unanimity of your resolutions. A vast field is opened to you—may it by your honest zeal and the Divine benediction produce happy fruits." • After the Prince of Solms, as Marshal ofthe Commit tees, replied in suitable terms, the Chamber resounded . with cries of " Long live the King." The assembly then adjourned until the 21st. The first questions to be laid before their consideration are, a reduction of taxation, and the construction of railroads from the capital to each of the provinces. CORONERS' INQUESTS.

'The Grand Turk encountered the terrific gale also last night, en her voyage from Havre to this port: nothing but the good sea-going properties of the Turk enabled her to perform her voyage safely.
