We cannot avoid coming to the conclusion ,that the Government, in setting about this necessary reform, has set about it in the most unjust, odious, and o pp ress i ve manner. It is unjust, because it makes the whole weight of s measure for the general public benefit fall unequally on a portion of the public only, and upon . a portion nts more responsible than any other for the evil ; and it is odious and oppressive, because it doubles the loss by the mode in which it inflicts it. In our opinion, the duty of the Government would have been, as fast as sovereigns; came in in payment of public revenue, to have melted down all those of old data, worn but not inteationally defaced, and to have supplied their place by new ones ; bui if it. did not choose to assume that burden, the least it could have done, and what would have entailed on it nothing but a little trouble, would have been jo accommodate the holders by taking light sovereigns in ail public offices at full bullion value, by which the less and inconvenience would not he, generally speaking, one-halt of what it is now. It might have done so up to a certain time, and afterwards, if it chose, enabled people to protect them selves, by giving notice that no sovereigns vrolitcl pass current below a certain weight, and thus, in the cull:lse of its supreme wisdom, save some ten thousands a' year by inflicting on the land a general plague of scalce.-- Liverpool Journal. 4 1 , 441 0.4. , ' !"

Mrs. Ironside . 1 1 The ASOot'settling, which was heavy, took place on Monday, and passed off without a default : this is something, as times go. - Some complicated cases were disposed of by the Stewards of the Jockey Club, and a great deal mote was' said than done about ar ranging the' outstanding Epsom accounts. The an nouncement that no less than twelve new matches have been made for the . October meetings, thanks being due for most of them to the Hon. and Gallant ,Member for Westminster, shows that a proper spirit is abroad—to speak more correctly, at home—and that the absence of the many middle men tends rather to increase than diminish sport—so out of evil does good arise. Meanwhile, let us to Hampton. The popularity of the Moulsey-hurst meeting is astonishing. Richmond is the favourite terminus of the four-in-hand club, but there are few teams that do not run the second stage during Hampton race week. Several of the regular bang-ups have, how ever, been absent this week, new ones, with strange coachmen, being put on to supply their places. As .the railways have so entirely superseded stage coaches, the rising generation will not have the same opportunity as their predecessors of learning the art —the how and exactly which way to guide four run ning horses. I heard of no accident ; but as I was . asked the question, I certainly should prefer a seat on the boiler to a seat on the box with some of these modern Jehus. These railways ruin us, say the pikemen—while the South-Western was crowded, the road was scarcely dusty. The stands were well-filled ; the gambling booths more numerous than usual. Varied and astonishing were the divertisements between the acts : Herr Dobler himself might take a lesson, and the artistes of her Majesty's Theatre here see feats which would make them laugh at their own more valuable pirou ettes. At a place like Hampton, the races are a minor consideration ; few people care or think of what horses are about to run, and betting bows to cham pagne and cold fowl luncheon—the most important part of the day's proceedings. Even Tommy Lye,- so certain to win all three races, forgot to inquire what time they would start, arriving just in time to hear what had won the first heat : the jockeys had waited about twenty minutes, and it was of course decided to be a start. Vibration, not good enough to start for the Oaks, gives the winner of that race 101bs., and beats her, rather to the astonishment of those who fancy they know every thing. The course at Hamp ton is a very awkward one, and two of the turns are sharp. The favourite—Our Nell, as she is named— went away just as she pleased, and my only sur prise was that she did not bolt altogether, so little command did the lad (sst. 101 b.) appear to have over her. Unpunctual as they were, the races were over in good time. Thursday is the grand day : her Majesty's guineas a greater attraction than the Cup, you think : not a bit. People like a crowd, and unless a crowd there be, the popular opinion is that there is nothing worth seeing : hence the orders and free admissions to the different theatres. More drags, more gypsies, more moutebanks, more Jim Crows, more ghosts of host lers, then are to be seen , on th e m iddl e d ay, t h an on the Wednesday and Friday together. One is apt to say, " Where the devil do they all come from ?" Rails and roads this day had each their due share of patron age. The Hurst Cup, 40 pounds, all in specie (that is, light sovereigns, I suppose), produced two capital 1 and two very moderate heats. Her Majesty's Plate, which, after some discussion, was run over two miles of ground (the proper distance), was won very easily by Vakeel ; claimed afterwards, for the second time in seven days, for five hundred. This must prove a highly satisfactory race to the owner of Ajax, the nag that beat Satirist, rode by James Robin son, at even weights at Ascot. Poor Ajax ! he has lived to do a great thing : properly managed, he may live to do another. Eight heats in the broil ing sun were too much for my complexion ; I there fore left the:Albert Stakes to their fate, determined to return and see the Stewards'. Handicap run on Friday. The liberality of the stewards (Lord Adolphus Fitz ._ clarence and Lord Southampton) should be men tioned, it being contrary to custom at Hampton to hear of a Stewards' Plate of 100!. In the name of all gypsies, conjurors, and other depredators, then, I tender thanks so justly due. Lord _Adolphus Fitz clarence was present each day, and Captain Beauclerk. acted on behalf of Lord Southampton. The racing on Friday was first rate, and the Stewards' Plate pro duced by far the best race of the three days. Every one thought Johnny would win, but the appropriately named seventeen-hand-high horse, Daddy Longlegs, outstrided him : the other black jacket was not beat a length. Humming Bird was pulled up very lame. Fourteen started for the Innkeepers' money ; for tunately for the jockeys' lives, all (lid not go for the first heat : fourteen round the first turn, Derby pace ! a very pretty sight; but throughout the week not one charged the fence. The police did their duty like men ; and, since the Hippodrome is abolished, their duty for this season ends here. sUppoFed. Major Abthorp was cut down by the ca valry, and has since died of his wounds. I bound them up in the field Ibr him and sent him over to the hospital. After we had formed square several were wounded, and, on the whole, we lost 1 major, I cap tain, 5 sergeants, and 130 rank and file killed and wounded, but lam afraid this is within the mark. We could not take all our dead and wounded off the field, and the General would not attempt it again as he was afraid of his convoy. We retreated to a small village where we stayed for a day, and then marched back here with our tails between our legs, the enemy following us up all the way. ‘.‘ We have heard since that Ghuznee has fallen, and all the poor fellows .have been cut up. General Nott has had hard fighting, and wants relief, so that General England has determined to make a desperate effort to relieve him. This will have a very bad effect ; it will make every fellow - in the country rise against us, and prevent our getting out of the country. We are, I must say, in a very dangerous position. Lord Ellenborough's intentions are not known yet, but something must be done for our honour and name, and to ,get hack our prisoners. Shah Soojah has played us a pretty trick, and Dost Mahomed must come back, and we leave the country, or else we shall be obliged to leave India, as- our native regi ments declare they will not come beyond the Indus, and quite right too, as that is the agreement when they enlist. They say the Nizam's force are all in open mutiny, and all the Mussulmans about Madras ready to rise." BR I T I gI T T — rNSTITUTTO PALL-MALL.

SIR,—In your paper of Monday evening last, you were pleased to insert a letter from me on the subject of the panic of the holders of gold cow and the extortion of the dealers in it. There is one slight error in the copy of my communi cation, in the fifteenth line, the ounce being stated twelve dwts., instead of twenty dwts. Since I wrote to you I have come a journey of 120 miles, and am happy to find the strictly poor have been very little sufferers, from the obvious reason that few of them are much embarrassed with gold coin, even of the smallest denomina tion ; and employers of workmen have, for the most part, been considerate of the distress and loss which might be occasioned, and paid them them in money of full currency, or stood to the loss themselves. Bankers of respectability have also acted very fairly on the occasion, disdaining more than a remunerating price for their incon venience and troubl e , which in many instances has not been more than a ld. or lid. upon the average, in exchange for paper or good sove reigns. Persons travelling have been most abominably imposed upon when they have paid away gold or exchanged paper for gold, one shilling even having been demanded as a deduc tion for hall-sovercigns of 1817 and 1818, many of which are much worn. Scales in some in stances have been so inaccurate from rust, &c., that it has required two grains to make them turn, arid the gold pieces have appeared in them of standing weight, which were of full weight, and thus the fault of the balance has been the loss of the possessor of the money. In no in stance, 1 fear, has the defacing by cutting, breaking, or stamping the light coin been re sorted to, and therefbre the fraudulent buyer may be expected, if any opportunity offer, to issue again the base coin.

The point of hardness and dura bility will, as I before said, be best obtained by making the chief part, or the whole of the alloy of silver, instead of, as at present, wholly of copper; though I am aware that, with silver as an alloy, a very minute portion of copper would be, as an auxiliary, useful ; and if to 22 caratsfine gold 2 carats of alloy, such as our present silver coin, were added, I think we should have per fection for metal as currency.

The abrasion of our gold and silver coin front attrition is a great evil, and it would almost ap pear that if we desired to diminish or attenuate •it, we could not have proceeded in a more effec tual manner than we have hitherto done. By the milling and placing the letters of the legend as close as possible to the edge, it is obvious that the pieces in collision with each other almost act as a file would do, and many may have observed how their asperities wear and rub the shovels used-by the bankers at their counters. I noticed in my last that I considered the die of the copper penny-piece of 1797 best calculated to avoid attrition on rubbing together, and it is very re markable bow perfect the letters are for the most part from being indented on the bordei'. The head on the obverse is now, after between forty and fifty years wear, very perfect, though scarcely so much so as the figure of Britannia on the reverse; and the legend on the border of the latter (both letters and figures) is very distinct and plain. •If it be desired, a legend could also be imprinted or impressed upon the edge of the sovereigns in lieu of milling or graining. If any objection be raised to what I propose, being more liable to be counterfeited, I would allege that weighing alone will be sufficient test of the genuine from the spurious coin. It should be borne in mind that abrasion from fair wear and tear is sheer loss, and benefits' no one. I have made some observations upon our silver coin, which, if it meet your approbation, I will at a future opportunity communicate to you.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, June 16, 1842.

The following letter from an officer of the 21st Na tive Infantry, will be perused with interest in the pre sent position of our affairs in India : " Camp Quettali, Affghanistan, April 2, 1842. " General England arrived here on the 22d ult., with a wing of her Majesty's 41st Regiment, 6th Na tive Infantry, two troops ofCavalry, and 100 irregular, and one troop of Horse Artillery. lie found here a light blittalion, composed of the light companies of the 41st Foot, 6th, Bth, 20th, 21st, and 25th Na tive Infantry regiments, and gave the command to the major of my regiment (Major Abthorp), a very good soldier and brave fellow, and who has seen a good deal of service. We marched on the 28th, with a large convoy of treasure and provisions, for the purpose of relieving General Nutt, at Can dabar, and Col. Palmer, at Ghuznee ; the latter was perfectly iu the hands of the enemy, as they cut off his communication from all quarters. Now, the former had a large force, but no provisions or ammu nition. I made interest with our Colonel, and got put into the light company. As lam very hard up for time, I must give you an idea instead of an account, and then say good-bye. The first day's march we saw the enemy's patrols, and had a skirmish, but no thing of any consequence ; the next march we were fired on from the hills, which occasioned great confu sion among the baggage, and obliged us to be under arms till we marched the next morning, when we came in sight of the main body of the enemy, who oc cupied a strong position on our left and to our right front. Advancing their left position was a hill, stock aded at the top, from which they first opened fire upon us, and our six-pounders played upon them, but with bad effect. The enemy put out a flag of defiance on the right, which was a small conical hill, with a breast-work at the top about four feet high, and a wet ditch inside. The ground was very broken, and the hill rather steep. General England ordered Major Abthorp to take us (the light bobs) up, and in stead of taking two columns to attack, he said he was ready to advance us in line. Abthorp remonstrated with him, but it had no effect, so on we went, and, as we got to the foot of the hill, the enemy opened a quick and regular fire upon Just as we arrived at the top of the hill, and were cheering at our suc cess, the enemy, seeing the General had not backed us neither by cavalry not infantry, sant their cavalry round the crest of th e hill, an d took us in the rear, charging at a fearful rate, which instantly broke the line, and obliged us to retreat in terrible confusion, and they managed to kill and cut u p a great number before we could rally and form sq uare. Captain May (a nephew of Major-General Sir John May, of the Royal Artillery) was shot as we advanced up the hill, through the heart, it is sup- THE , c LIGHT GOLD" INFLICTION. You can form no adequate conception of the embar rassment produced by the ill-judged proclamation o.f the Tories relative to the gold coin. The working people are the greatest sufferers, as many of them had sove reigns at full weight in their pockets on Sunday last ; and such was the panic spread abroad that gold of all descriptions, light and heavy, was refused in many places, and numerous families were deprived of their dinners in consequence. In some instances, two shillings discount had to be paid on a sovereign that was only twopence-halfpenny deficient in weight. Had the pro clamation been to call in the light sovereigns on a given day. or had the expense of recoining termed the subject of a separate estimate, no complaint would be made ; but the suddenness of the proclamation is denounced as a Tory trick. and must operate against them hereafter, when the long account is to be settled.—Correspondent of the Ross-shire Advertiser. The stories in the London papers of the effects of the monetary panic in the metrepolis have been fully equalled in the country. Some symptoms of the diffi culties that afterwards occurred exhibited themselves in Southampton before the close of the last week, by the refusal of several shopkeepers to take light sovereigns, but on Saturday the panic spread universally ; and as scarcely one shop in a hundred possessod gold scales, sovereigns and half-sovereigns were indiscriminately refused, unless at a discount of Bd. for the. former and 4d. for the latter ; this was the case in French-street and in the market, where great numbers of the working classes resort on Saturday evening to make purchases. At some shops a reduction of 6d, for sovereigns and 3d. for half-sovereigns was made, but in many others the most scandalous trickery was used, and where people had come in from the country, or the hour was late, ls. and even ls. 6d. in the pound was exacted. In the case of working people this shameful extortion was in too many cases submitted to, from the parties having no other resource. This deduction was made upon the coin indiscriminately by the majority, but in the course of the day a supply of Birmingham balances was thrown into the market, and did good service for a time, as being improperly •constructed they weighed down with light sovereigns. Some shops exhibited labels intimat ing that light sovereigns were taken there for goods, and did a good extra trade in con sequence. As might be ex pected, the panic induced the production of much boarded money, in excellent condition. The coinage of George 111., issued in 1817, and of George IV., in 1821, 1823, 1824, and 1830, are generally light, but on an average to not more than a depreciation of 1 and per cent., as stated by the Members of the Government on Tuesday night in the House. We know of an instance, however, in which a deduction was made at one of the banks of 4s. 6d. on five pounds, in which there were four half sovereigns. On Monday last at a large shop in the High-street. ls. 6d. in the pound was deducted on a pur chase by a lady, and we therefore wish to put our readers on their guard against such scandalous imposition. On an average a deduction of 2i-d. in the pound would corer all loss, and certainly a discount of 3d. i s the utmost that should be submitted to in a sovereign, and 2d. in a half sovereign. —Hampshire Advertiser. LIGHT SOVEREIGNS.—As proofs of the prevalence of light gold, we may mention that a gent l em an took one hundred to one o f th e b an k s i n Gl ouces ter, on Wednes day, forty-one of which number were deficient in weight ; and another person took fifty, all of which were declared light, and sixpence paid upon each :—.l . lertford Times. There has been a d rea df u l hubbub here about the pro clamation respecting the light sovereigns. This procla mation has been followed by another, commanding an issue of half-farthings. Truly these proceedings of our rulers seem not a little puzzling : What possible use the half-farthings cau be the Master of the Mint can pro- ADULTERY IN FRANCE. A SENTIMENTAL LAFARGE. A suit of some interest, in which the parties were M. Daloz, a retired and wealthy notary, and his wife, I was decided last week by the Cour Royale, in an ap peal by the husband from -a judgment of the traibunal before which the case was first brought, and by which,. although Mme. Daloz was condemned to three months' imprisonment for adultery the husband avas sen tenced to pay to her an allowance' of 6,000 f. a year for her separate maintenance, and the guardianship of a son, an only child, was entrusted to her inaftl ha shall have attained his seventh year. From the state ment of the Counsel for M. Daloz, it appealed that his , first wife, who was the daughter of the celebrated dancer Mile. Bigottini, and who had brought him in marriage 800,000 f., he being at the time already a wealthy man, having died leaving him two children, he married, with a view of providing a second mother for them, his present wife, who had enly 40,000 f., There was living with him at the time the bro ther of his first wife, a very young man, end as M. Daloz, was necessarily very frequently absent from home, the wife and his brother-in-law, M. Charlesr Bigottini, were much together without the controlling eye of the husband, who, considering the position irP which the parties stood to each other, could never have anticipated a criminal intimacy. Such, however,. was the result, and, according to the statement of the Counsel, the wife was the more criminal of the two, M. Bigottini being several years younger than 'Mme. Daloz. On the discovery of this intercourse M.. Daloz separated from his wife, but soave time after wards, in consequence of her real or affected tepen. tance, took her back to his home, if not to his bosoth. She was not long, however, before she com m itt e d a similar fault with an eminent French physician, select ing this time a person old enough to be het father, whereas she had previously chosen one much younger than herself. This second liaison beirig also di's-- coVered, the husband repudiated her definitively, and commenced a prosecution against her for adul tery ; the wife, in her turn, demanding the guardianship of their child, and a large annual sum for her separate maintenance. Her Counsel endeavoured to show, as is usual in such cases, that the husband had ill-treated and neglected his wife, and stated that on the discovery of the second adultery, which was not denied, M. Daloz had called upon the physician, and threatened an exposure which would be fatal to him in his profession, if he did not pay a large sum of money (60,000 f.) to M. Daloz. The ill-treatment was denied ; but it was admitted that the plaintiff had received 60,0001'. from the Doctor, which, however. it was added, he had required for the use of the poor of his arrondissement, to whom it was given. Thee Cour Royale, after devoting two days to the hearing• of the case on both sides, confirmed the sentence which had been appealed against. In. the course of the re-hearing some very curious letters and papers by the wife, of which possession was obtained by the husband, were read. The object was chiefly to show that she had not been the object of ill-treatment by her husband and, above all, to trace to a romantic and perverted imagina tion the motives of her misconduct. The following paper, under her own hand, was amongst those read in Court. It is a remarkable instance of the false sen sibility which is derived from the education of a very numerous class of the females in the present day and is, indeed, a key to the motives of miscona duct of which the tribunals are almost daily revealing the existence. Like the printed works of some of tbe female authors of the day which have had a sad popu larity, the effusion of Madame Daloz displays great powers of imagination, but is unfortunately wanting in principle and common sense :—She says, "1 expect nothing more from life. Existence has deceived me. I ask for nothing, but to die. lam 23 years of age. and I have reached that period advancing' from de ception to deception. From my childhood. I have always dreamt of some grand and profound attach ' meat, love or friendship, no matter the name. I desired an affection which should move my very soul, and absorb my whole being. I thought at one time I might realise this dream in the tenderness of my father. A jealous mother came at • each moment sapping and shaking my esteem and veneration for him ; and he died before I could devote myself to his love, before he could appreciate and enjoy my affection. Each of my sisters was in tartar my idol, my model, my confidante, but they all have more or less sacrificed me. My mother merited no, such sentiments, and my brothee only gave me toe. little place in his affections, to induce me to give no mine to him." Alluding to marriage she says, " These deceptions condemned me to another the most cruel of all. When I shut myself up in the dis - enchantment of my soul, I thought I should die ; but I was young, and I lived on to suffer. Then I dreamt of and panted for conjugal love. Una ceasingly did I represent to myself 'two beinga united in the sam e exi s t ence . How often did my thoughts picture those two heads pillowed Orr the-bosom of the beloved object. Sleep steala,over -them clasped in each other's arms. They awake only to renew their embraces. Melancholy, the evil which so often attacked me, would have- ups peered less bitter from being shared. My woes would have been listened to and understood; my diseed : and suffering imagination would have been cured, 'be cause it would have been cherished, as an. only child. is by a tender mother. My husband would have pitied me in my moments of folly, of trouble, and. madness ; he would have calmly reasoned with -me, and gently chided me in the name of his affection.. when my calmer moments had arrived. When my mental tempest has arisen, oh ! I feel, I know, that I am no longer myself—my reason wa n d ers , fbecome extravagant and olameable ; but, oh, my God ! am F not also, from my very sufferings, entitled to a little pity ? Were a friendly hand to caress me, to en verope rue in the idea that T am beloved, I should' cease to weep, I should cease to. suffer, for there is but one evil 1 dread, that of being beloved by no one ! 0 God ! save me from myself!. Oh, God, is it an idea from hell to conceive those two beings mutually beloved, al ways together, seeking each other by day, and meeting 'again at night A unity . of tastes and similarity of feeling directing their existence . Oh, how the- real misfortunes of life would in such case glide lightly by a In fact, misfortune cannot strike heavily where union exists, but it caushes the single and isolated woman, who finds herself exiled from her native land. Since love composes all her existence, and since she is• obliged to hold in her heart with both hands to prevent its beat ing, its palpitating, her duty is to behold. Btit eeuli [guess this when thos e id eas o f a young girl aKiailed me ? I hoped to behold, and waited for the perfect being my imagination had depicted. I aould never find him, for I required him too faultless. But whilst I waited for him, I consecrated my heart to him as g temple, which I adorned each moment." She thus speaks of her husband :—" Sometimes a rush of affec tion pervades my being, and I should like to give him some brilliant proof of my affection. Of 2n evening when we walk in silence, he thinks of money matters. and I say to myself, would that somebody would attack him. I would precipitate myself before him,. I would fall pierced with blows, after having save 4 his life ; he would judge me, he •would see if I ant courageous when I loved ! At this thought my blood boils, I become feverish, I press his arm, I should like to throw myself on his neck, to cover him with my caresses, no matter where, even in the public street. Then I stop, I smile with irony, and I ex claim, What would this proof of my affection do to . him? It would be an emotion which lie would re pulse, a derangement of his life which he detests he would like better to have his dinner well cooked. H e i s ; right, for he considers life in that point of view, hut, 0, my G o d, I cannot do so. This thought chokes me, I am suffocated and I weep, and yet wh y s h ou ld Idoso ? I have no sorrow. Every day I have my dinner, fire, lodging , if and dresses. But, good God, is that enough ? STATE OFTRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) There was not the slightest appearance Of improve ment in our market yesterday; the demand both for goods and yarn was exceedingly limited, and the prices, where business was done, were generally on a level with the very lowest rates which have been previously paid. June is, indeed, almost invariably one of the dullest months in the year; and the inactivity consequent upon the season, concurring with the general depression of trade, tends greatly t o di m i n i s h t h e prospect o f any very speedy improvement. _ROCHDALE FLANNEL MATULLT, JUNE 20.—There1ms been another good market for flannels to-day, though the demand has not been quite ao brisk as on the pre vious Monday. The prices are low, and have under gone no change to-day.
