The proposed duty on exported coals, to which we adverted on Friday, is a specimen of the instability of our aristocratic legislation. In 1834, a similar tax was repealed to encourage trade ; and now, when that negation of law has succeeded, when the trade has flourished from the absence of a tax, as was an- ticipated, the Legislature proposes, in 1842, to undo all that its predecessordid only eight years ago. Can any legislation be more unstable ? Every alteration riertrly of the tariff plays fast and loose in like manner with some portion of the people's property, and leaves us with the conviction that similar changes must again be made. The distinguibhing and disgusting • feature of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S measures is. that they offer something to every class, to make i t acquiesce in some species of spoliation, of which, by those very measures, it is made the victim. Such a general attack on property, bribing men, as it were. ith their own stolen goods to be instrumental in plundering other men, when made by an aristocratic assembly, is what Mr. MACAULAY understands, pro bably, by security and stability of property, which an infusion of democracy into the Legislature would an nihilate for ever. • The change in property, however, caused by Sir PnEL's numerous proposed changes in the Cus• toms duties, instead of first abrogating the giant mo nopolies; is not, in our apprehension, the worst effect of his measures. The worst effect is their tendency to create and perpetuate division. To the farther ho - offers a pretended boon of paying half as much income-te: as other people pay, and to those who pay, the .full taxes, he offers, as a. reward for their• ohmiasion, cheaper living, by cutting off a slice , f -mu the farmer's profits, ,To the bulk of the people he offers an exemption frorn the income-tax, and obtains their support, to throW . it o:elusively on l i ree or _four hundred thousand persons. It i frequently said . of society that the in terest of all its members is identical. Sir 11. PEEL has .the great . merit of disproving that d og ma, and of 'showing all classes how they can prey upon one another, by means of laws artfully -con trived. In the present eircinntanees of society, a v.i,4e Minister would have been especially careful how he 'added to the sources; of discord between the classes. Sir ROBERT PEEL seems to be desirous to show how skilfully he can augment our dissension. If our lot has all been -cast in the same boat, it cannot be denied that our present helmsman has directed all the crew to pull different ways. Hence the labourers and others rejoice at the Income-tax, and the landowners reoiee that they shall still be allowed to plunder all Ilse eonumers of bread, including the labourers. : Sir It. PEEL will not be allowed, however, even by lii':rown friends, to have everything his own way, He 11-,s encouraged rap'tcity, and he cannot escape its r, iumistrmices. lie has fostered those monopolies ••••lach prey upon the people, and they do not choose quietly to relax their gripe of the national industry at h:s s6iAti.Con. '`lt is U. great agttravation ' " (says a " Memoir on the Aonial Timber Trade,") "of the evil now impending , oer the Colonial and shimii interests, to ftrnl that the iqiiction is announced ii; ' a t ' ( th e f t; and the efi d e r et pre dicted as a bench—(lloW well f —and, perhaps a; a g i r u e , :t o e , r ig a i, ;,. i .l t r y L d w u a n tio u n s , be ) added that the calamity fr om the quarter th.o.least suspected, and will now' , at h l e a as l - e tl accomplished by the very hand to which they hitherto looked gratitude for having protected them so l ong .' , His old friends; therefore, those whomhe has ,up to political depredation, d o not like his siferues: .They have no objection to his bamboo z li ng . labottirs, the farmers, and shopke e p ers, b ut the tt4:"N•viarm 'him. hot to stop. , tlie supplies cf his own protegees. It certainry appears by the pamphlet that they have been admirably protected for a very long j time by the hand which now proposes to take some thing from them. The consumption of timber in the kingdom is now 1,500,000 loads annually, and the discriminating duty is set down in the pamphlet at 2/. ss. a load, which makes a good round sum of 3,375,0001., which the country pays per annum to encourage our North American timber trade. Having expended such a vast sum of money, year after year, for many years, we cannot be surprised that our exports to our North American provinces have risen to 3,000,0001. a year, and the tonnage employed in our imports thence exceeds 800,000 tons. Nor can we be surprised at this pic ture of prosperity, owing, as the pamphlet we have quoted from says, to the timber trade t— " This last New'Briinswick Province may fairly cites' as an example of the effects of the protective and colo nial system, and, particularly, of its application to the Timber Duties ; having, in consequence, advanced froze, a handful of Loyalists, by whom the colony was first plant ed in 1783 to its present very flourishing state of population: and trade. The formssr have increased since 1924, front 74,176 persons to 137.562, in 1840 ; and the latter, durimt ten years, from the valve of 483.5451. (of impoM) ii 1829, to 1,435,4471. in 1839. Of the seventeen of acres which New Brunswick contains less than five hundred thousand have vet been reclaimed from the native forest, which covers the whole country beside. The number of mills there built for the manufacture 0 deals is 574, the value of which is estimated at 500,000/, and th e ea l ut , of other property there invested in th. timber trade is considered to be of a far greater amount. 01' that colony's exports, the value of all native articles, not of wood, amounts only to about 75,00 a. The ship pine-, owned there exceeds 90,000 tons. And the exports thence give yearly employment to 2,605 ships of 381,577 tons, and 17,313 men. Almost the whole of which trash and navigation is . purely British, and with the Britisl, dominions, and, principally, with the United Kingdom. And as there is scarcely any part of the world where se small a population could by their industry, under its ex fisting protection, be more profitable to the manufactures, trade, and navigation of the United Kingdom ; so also is there no position where to plant and foster an enterpris ing, loyal, and powerful colony seems more useful to the security and prosperity of the B:itish Empire." Neither can we be surprised when such is the sum annually distributed amongst rotten-ship owners. laud-jobbers, lumberers, merchants, &c. &c., and such its results, that the recipients of the 3,375,000/. a year, should raise an .earnest outcry against the statesman, who has stated. " that above all things we should avoid doingany injury to the Canadas," and that our relations with Canada were such as to require the utmost caution. That is much too large a sum to give up quietly ; and we must admit that the mono polists are ill-treated by their friends. Only on Friday last, Lord STKNLEY was expatiating, with quite as much unction, and quite as little reason, as the author of the pamphlet, on the advantage of an exclusively British trade, " which is all in our own hands ;" and he and Sir ROBERT PEEL will both find, when they come to carry their tariff through the House, that the monopolies they have nourished, and the prejudices they have strengthened, will be brought to bear against themselves. They will not easily extract the money from the grasp of those whose monopoly they have long upheld as extremely beneficial to the public. Without saying one word in favour of the North American timber monopolists, whose plain objectis to continue a heavy tax on the na tion for their own advantage, we mus t express our un feigned satisfaction at seeing the Premier badgered by the corrupt interests he has nourished ; and, much as we desire to see the timber trade set free, we shall not regret if Sir RouEnr PEEL be defeated on the point by his own dearly beloved friends. Their political dishonesty is a match for his, and they bid fair to overcome him by his own weapons. The Times of yesterday says, in reference to parish apprentices doomed to the mines That one case came before the Sub-Commissioner, of a child so apprenticed to a collier working in a thin pit at Thornhill = before he was quite fire years old.' Nor would this poor creature, by name Thomas Townsend, have been brought back to the workhouse, had not its grandfather interfered, and its friends threatened an in formation to the Poor-law Commissioners." From that passage it follows that these Commis sioners have the power, and have sometimes exerted it, of regulating the age at which pauper children may be apprenticed out of workhouses. When those children are orphans, the strong interest which the Guardians have in lightening the pecuniary burdens of the Union, may induce them to commit much in justice ; and in such cases a central authority like that of the Poor-law Commissioners, may be advanta geously exercised for the protection of the chil dren. We infer from this instance that it has been so exercised, and' undoubtedly it ought to be, unless . their authority have been given them never to protect but only to curb the poor. • For all - the orphans • bound apprentice out of -workhouses at- the age• of six or seven, since the Commissioners have had the bontrol of them, the public will hold them to be responsible, and we trust that they will consider it to be their duty to take those orphans under their especial protection. Parish apprentices are bound only by the authority of the Poor-law, and for the mode in which that is administered, the Commissioners at Somerset HouSe, and the Home Secretary, have to answer. In such cases, the cruelty is not parental, it is legal. The fire at Hamburgh has shown how powerful is the sympathy by which all the family of man is natu rally united, and that it requires a kind of political drilling into national and exclusive habits and preju dices to become inimical to one another. Fortu nately for the result, Hamburgh, as far as politics are concerned, is neutral ground. It is a cosmopolitic city. It 'is inhabited by men of all nations and all creeds. With no hesitation, therefore—nay, with an alacrity which convinces us that Sovereigns can act from generous impulses, and adopt a wise policy from very common motives—assistance and succour have been poured into Hamburgh from all the surrounding States. The subscriptions, too, spontaneously begun in France, in England, in Belgium, demonstrate that the people feel like their rulers, and, now that one branch of the great family is overtaken by a misfor tune, that all are brethren. Such a lesson will not be thrown away, and an appeal, in after times, to this common feeling of brotherhood, may stay the devastation of war. Why should those inflict calamities who think it is virtue to sooth and relieve them ? The general subscription for Hamburgh is an epoch in the moral history of mankind. The Railways Bill is to be further considered in Committee on Friday next, when we expect some ma terial alterations will bemade. The Bill in its present shape is little calculated - either to protect passengers against the recurrence of fatal accidents, or to place on an equal footing Companies using lines with a common terminus. In reference to the latter point, Lord Ro- BERT GROS VESOR will• propose a clause to the effect that, where more than two-Railway Companies have a common terminus, they shall all have the same accom modation in regard to the booking of passengers, the running of carriages, and the removal of luggage. 1 . Some clause of this sort is required, in order to put an end to that partiality shown on some lines to particular parties to the prejudice of others. • Be sides this, there are two other clauses of more import ance to the public to be brought forward by Mr. O'BRIEN and Mr. HUME. The first is to move the insertion of a clause to prevent the locking of the door of any carriage on the side next the stations, and the second is to move that instead of Mr. PLUMP.' ntE's crotchet for shutting the lines on Sunday, that in all cases in which the Postmaster-General shall require that the mails or post-letter lags shall be conveyed on any railway-, the Company shall forward the same on every day of the week on which the conveyance of such mails and letters shall be required, without making any difference either in the rate of speed, or in the cost and charge for conveyance, and that the same accoMmodation shall be fUrnished whenever any special train shall be required. It is but fair that some regulations of this kind be adopted, in order that the Post-office authorities should, as under the former system, be able to transmit letters and despatches whenever the Govern ment or other parties may require this mode of eon veyance. Th e Companies cannot, on any reasonable grounds, object to such a clause. They will be paid all reasonable expenses, and, as they generally p ro f ess the utmost readiness to oblige the public, we have DO doubt they will agree to the arrangement. But independent of the benefit to be derived by the public, the Companies themselves would be saved all that annoyance, injury to property, and Malignant calumnies which for months were inflicted upon the Directors of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. No man should be suffered to injure the property of - another, to gratify either his religious or political prejudices; and it is the duty, therefor* of he Legislature to put a stop to such persecution. The clauses proposed by Mr. Hums would fully effect the object in view. Mail trains, at stated times, would pass along almost every line on Sunday; persons would thus be allowed to visit their friends as they did when the mails were .!arried by coaches on the highway ; and all pretence would be removed for calumniating the innocent Shareholders mid Directors. As we presume the present Government does not intend that the exaction of a tax upon income should be more stringent now than under the LIVERPOOL and CASTLEREAGn Administration in 1813 , 14, we may congratulate authors, and men who derive a sub- Astence from their literary labours, upon their exemp tion from this impost. It is clear from the subjoined letter from Sir WALTER SCOTT, now first published, Ind from the opinion of the most learned lawyers in Scotland and England upon it, as well as from the ilecision of the Income-tax Commissioners, that un less the present Government is resolved to manifest Less sympathy for literary men than the Government of 1813, they are entitled to claim an exemption from he tax. This is not only just towards them, but to wards the public, whose instructors and guides they ire. There is no class of men whose gains are so )recurious and so hardly earned, and whose labours, Tenerally speaking, contribute so much to the happi .iess of their species as authors. They rarely owe much o society, whereas society owes everything to them. they guide its opinion, purify its morality, protect is property, and supply it with whatever knowledge t possesses. To tax such men would be to tax the most efficient moral teachers, the most vigilant police of society. The genius which produces good books, and the .alents which enable a mau to write words of wisdom :or the guidance of his fellow-men, are not property ognizable by humair laws. They 'arc the gifts of GoD, and, instead of burdening, benefit the Govern nents under which they most flourish. Their appli _mtion to money-getting purposes is so brief, that it .arely constitutes more than one brief hour in the lay journey of human life. No, it cannot be possible hat the Government contemplates taxing such men— hat the State proposes to fatten by sucking the mains of those who devote their days and nights to he diffusion of knowledge. Gon knows, in this pounds, shillings, and pence tge, the condition of a mere literary man is sufficiently 73-lug without sending a new tax collector to his r, to ascertain in what demand the offspring of tis brain is with the public. He is, generally speak ng, a man of superior education, and, from the very tature of his pursuits, more painfully alive than per ions of his rank or station to the privations that sur round him. If destined to live long, he is doomed o look forward to a period when the oil which feeds the lamp of genius or fancy, will be burned out, and when, unless he have made some provision against want, he must cnd his days in a workhouse or a unatic asylum. In the present state of things the following letter, by 3ir Walter Scott, written in the autumn 4)1'1813, is A orthy of notice :---- ." TO J. BICHARDEON, ESQ., FLUDTER-STREET, WEST• MINSTER. ‘‘ My dear Richardson,—l have owed you a letter this 'ong time, but perhaps my debt might not yet be liseharged, had I not a little matter of business to rouble you with. I wish you to lay before, either he king's counsel, or Sir Samuel liomilly, or any culler you ma y approve, the point whether a copy ight, being sold for the term during which Queen Anne's Act warranted the property to the author, the :,rice is liable, in payment of the property-tax. I con 'end it is not so liable for the following reasons :—First, tis a patent right expected to produce an annual, or at east an incidental profit, during the currency of many ,Tars ; and, surely, it was never contended that if a man old a theatrical patent, or a patent for machinery, pro perty-tax should be levied in the first place on the full )rice as paid to the seller, and then on the profits as airchased by the buyer. I am not very expert in :figures, but I think it clear that a double taxation takes place. 2. It should be considered that a book may be the work, not of one year, but of a man's whole life ; And as it has been found in a late case of the Duke If Gordon that a fall of timber was not subject to property-tax, because it comprehended the produce of 30 years, it seems at least equally fair that mental exer tions should not be subjected to a harder principle of measurement. 3d. The demand is, as far as I can learn, totally new and unheard of. 4th. Supposing that I died, and left my manuscripts to be sold publicly along with the rest of my library, is there any ground for taxing what might be received fur the written book any more than any rare prinied book which any speculative book seller might puicliasie with a view of republication ? You krill know whether any of these things ought to be sug gested in the brief. David Hume and every lawyer here, whom I have spoken to, consider the demand illegal. "Believe me truly yours, " WALTER SCOTT." Mr. Lockhart, who published this letter in the life of Sir Wter, makes the following observations upon it : " Mg t Richardson having proposed a case, obtained upon_it the opinions of Mr. Alexander (afterwards Sir William Alexander, and Chief Baron of the Exchequer) And the late Sir Samuel Rouailly. These eminent lawyers geed in the view of their Scotch brethren, and, after a tedious correspondence, the Lords of the Treasury atJast decided that the Income-tax Commissioners should Abandon their claim upon the produce of literary labour. I have thought it worth while to preserve some record of this decision, and of the authorities on which it rested, in case such a demand should ever be renewed hereafter." The subjoined extract from the Philadelphia corre spondence of a contemporary dated the 30th of April, shows the immense advantages which the people of this country would derive from the abolition of the Corn-laws, and a real, instead of a mock modification of the tariff. In the pacific prayer of the writer we most heartily join. Those who desire to see other than the most amicable relations existing between England and the United States are the enemies of civilisation and of both countries. Nations so en lightened, and whose mutual interests can only be promoted by peace, can never have any just ground for a barbarian appeal to arms. It is high time that wars should cease throughout the civilised world. The spring is this year at least three weeks more in advance than usual, and, as far as a judgment may be tbrined at so early a period, there is every probability of immensely abundant grain crops. The quantity of land devoted to agriculture is this year much increased, and the , 4 . , eneral ,opinion is that flour will be from $l. to $2 per barrel lower than at present, before the end of the year. In such a: case the exports to Europe will be enormous, especially as the tariff on corn and flour in England is about to be reduced, although not to a sufficient extent, perhaps, to ensure the fullest advan tages of cheap bread to the people. Salt pork in Ohio has been produced to a greater extent than has been wanted, and at some places the price has been less than a penny (English) per pound! Conceive, then, the quantity that might be sent to England if the duty should be low. Beef, too, is lower than I ever remember it ; wholesale, tt 2-h-d. English, per lb., and sometimes salted at lid. in large quantities. Even in Philadelphia, fine salted beef sells retail in the market at 3d. and 3 i'! d. ; and by way of • giving you the results of practical experience in this city, it will not be out of place to add, that on Saturday last, my wife bought in the market a loin of veal at 3d. per pound, and yesterday, ribs of beef at 4d.; in both in• stances the meat was as fine as in England—indeed, the cattle are all descended from imported English stock. Let us hope, then, that the smile of a bounteous Provi • deuce will be continued, not only on the teeming earth, bat also on the dispositions of the people of both coun tries, that they may become more than ever bound in friendly and pacific relations, and that thus each may enjoy iu abundance the blessings of peace and plenty ! The French Journals of Sunday dwell at some length upon the judgment of the Court of Correc tional Police in the case of the Temps newspaper. This journal was tried on Saturday, not for a politi cal offence, but. for an infringement of the regula tions for .its publication, and sentenced to a fine of 102,300 frailes t and suppression within twelve months. The Press is becoming troublesome to the Government, and the Government has taken the first step to get rid of it. There is an old proverb, which says " that eaten bread is soon forgotten," the truth of which is verified by the sup pression of the Temps. It was by this journal that the first • resistance was offered to the celebrated ordonnances of CHARLES X., which brought about the revolution of July, and placed the reigning Sovereign on the throne. Yet under the very Government which it was first to assist in establishing it is now suppressed. -The Journal des Debals announces that immediately after the close of the Session the import duties on hempen threads Would be raised to 20 per cent. Baron Billing, the French Consul-General in Egypt, who fell ill on his arrival at Alexandria, and was com pelled to leave for Malta before he had entered on his functions, has been recalled and replaced by M. Gautier D'Are, who was for a long time French Consul at Va lencia and at Barcelona. He was in the latter town when queen Clnistina was there. M. Gautier D'Arc will leave Paris in a week for Egypt, accompanied by an at tache, M. Latour :Marbourg, as the Consul-General is equivalent to the post or Minister Plenipotentiary. The :Ifoniteur Parisien has the following article : " A letter from Port-au-Ptinco says that a proclamation of President Boyer, published on the 24th of March, announces his intention to dissolve the new National He ixesentation, if it does not coincide with his views.. The Opposition, strengthened by a certain number of Mem- . bers of the new Chamber who have been re-elected in spite of their exclusion in 1839, are preparing to role. -T41_141-16N, LONDON.

The National says "We are informed that Messrs. Cremieux and Debray, advocates, and M. Plan, are en gaged to bring actions for damages against the Railway Company."—Commerce. There is no news of engrossing interest in the Madrid Journals of the Bth instant:— The Eco del Comercio publishes the report of the Financial Committee of the Chamber of Deputies on the budget of 1842, with the modifications intro duced into the original bill. The budget consists of seven chapters, and is divided as follows :—Dotation of the Queen, of the Infant, and the Regent, 33,500,000 reals. Private expenditures of the two Chambers, 536,620 reals. Budget of foreign. affairs —the Government proposed for the expenditures of the personal and Materiel 10,196,120 reals, and the Com mittee 9,841,220 reels. • Ministry of JustiCe—personal, 16,745,718 ; materiel, 17,869,136. Budget of the War Department—personal and materiel, 305,174,601. Ex traordinary budget— personal and materiel, 108,059,204.

The Tribunal ordered the suppression of the journal, with a fine on the gerants, Messrs. Cost and Couil, of 102,300 francs. Should this sentence bu confirmed on appeal to the superior Court, the Temps must be given up, and the gerants must either pay the fine or submit to a year's imprisonment. "We advance from step to step," exclaims the National, " in the high road which leads to the destruc tion of the press. The Court of Correctional Police pro nounced a judgment, en Saturday, which surpasses all that had been previously 'mown. Perhaps it may be said that the Court were impelled by a species of rage against the press. By no means. • The Court merely applied the minimum of the tine • they might have in flicted a penalty of-231,000f., and made the proprietors personally responsible for having been guilty of a mere informality." The Left Bank Railroad resumed its service on Satur day. Several ladies were in the:engines. The follow ing alterations had been made iu the trains :- 1. The discontinuance of the four-wheeled locomotives, and the use of the six-wheeled engines only. 2. The baggage-waggons, usually placed behind the train, are now placed between the engine and the passen gers, and, independently of this precaution, an additional waggon, loaded with stones and sand-bags, follows the baggage one. 3. The speed has been slackened. 4. The doors of the carriages can now be opened by the passengers. The Madrid Papers of the Bth state that the Commis sion on the Budget has made its report, in which a re duction on the Government estimates of the annual ex penditure is proposed to the extent of 24,324,441 reals. The Alexandria correspondent of the Semaphore de Marseilles writes, under date the 26th ult., that 21,000 stand of arms had been landed there by an English steamer, and that the boxes in which they were con tained had been immediately forwarded to Suez. The Russian merchants of Alexandria enjoy the privilege of exporting produce on payment of a duty of 3 per cent., while all other merchants (English included) were com pelled to pay 12 per cent. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post contains a leading article, the drift of which is to show that the progress of liberal opinions has been unattended with beneficial effect to the com munity. "We do not find," observes our Contemporary, " that the poor are at all better pleased with the ' law for their relief than with that which existed before the liberal reform had been effected. On the contrary, they are snore dissatisfied, and, we fear, with more reason. There is less roguery and abuse, but then there is much more harshness and suffering. We do not find that municipal councils have shed the dew of virtue, and poured forth the sunshine of happiness, over their several localities. Envy, bickering, and strife—malice, hatred, and uncharitableness, abound as much as ever." On the question of emigration, the Times thus ex presses itself :—" There is hardly any more tempting remedy than emigration for the evils which we here labour under. It seems so easy, so natural, so generous, so safe, so convenient, to ship off a few thousands from a crowded to a vacant country—to send labourers where work Is to be done ; but we are apt to forget how much goes to this little process and of this we wish to remind all those who, with doubtless the best intentions, are unwisely—sometimes, we fear, carelessly—exposing our countrymen to disappointment, where disappoint ment is destruction." We quote the following from the Chronicle :—" It has been properly observed that the question of child labour is of far too extensive and important a nature to be inci dentally disposed of by a clause in the Poor-law Bill. We'think so too ; and the complaint we recently made of the inefficiency . of Sir James Graham's proviso relative to parish apprentices, was not a censure upon it for not being a satisfactory settlement of the subject of child labour, but for meddling with a great abuse to little purpose, and giving a semblance of protection without any of the reality.' The Herald says :—" Our neighbours across the Chan nel have a very singular mode of estimating the princi ples of commercial reciprocity ; they seem to be enamoured with what Sir Joseph Yorke was accustomed to call one-sided reciprocity ; and think their country very unfairly treated by British Ministers, because they are not willing to concede trading advantages without gaining equivalent coneessions in return. The French commercial system is the reverse of the old Turkish system, which admitted every thing freely, but allowed nothing to be exported ; the Vrench clamour for ability to export, but refuse freedom of import. Sir Robert Peel offers to reduce British import duties on the agri cultural and manufacturing staples of France, if France will only reciprocate the reduction. All England desires an extension of commerce with France, hut France de termines that none shall take place." WCONET—TRADII—CODZIVIERCE. The Clarence Railway Company shipped during the last week in April, 8,900 tons of coals, in the riser Tees, the largest quantity ever shipped in that quarter. The Society of Guardians for the Protection of Trade held their diuncr in the roultry last week. The mem bers are increasing in number, and their purpose is to expose the fictitious firms or trades in London. • PUBLIC XIVIPEOVEMZNTS. A new dock was opened last week at Middlesbrough, in Yorkshire, when eleven ships were launched into their respective drops. . The dock occupies an area of nine acres of water-surface, and was constructed at an expense of 100,000/. This town, in 1829 contained 40 inhabitants ; from the increase of commerce, the census of 1841 gives its present population at 5,423. At the meeting of the Aborigines Protection Socie► held on Monday at Exeter-hall, the Report stated that the Aborigines connected with British colonies and com merce, whom that Society had fur their object to protect and improve, amounted to 1,000,000 inhabiting Aus tralia ; 1,000,000 in the South Seas, including Zealand ; 500,000 still surviving in North and South America; and 2,000,000 in Western and Southern Africa, with several millions of the India. Of foreign Aborigines, benefited by the Society, there were 16,000,000 in Ame. rica, 60,000,000 in Africa, and 200,000,000 in Asia. LAW AND PO LICE, An action was brought on Monday in the Court of Ex chequer by the assignees of Shepherd and Drew, for merly proprietors of the Star Hotel, Southampton, against Mangles and Hutchins, the unsuccessful candidates at the last election, to recover 453/., the ba l a nce of a tavern bill. Witnesses were called to prove that t he best apart ments were quantity of w i ne and ot h er li quo rs had been consumed, engaged as committee-rooms; and that a the bill altogether amounting to 6541. The defendants had paid into Court 2001. The Jury returned a verdict for the full amount claimed. At Marylebone on Monday, Robert Ashby, a servant out of place, was comm i tte d to take his trial on a charge of having stolen plate and other property of the value of 1501. from the house of Mr. Chichester, 40, Upper Wim pule-street. Information was given at Union-hall, that Mr. H. Christian and Mr. J. Anichini, two mercantile men, carrying on business in the City, were about to tight a duel. They were forthwith taken into custody, and at first held to bail in 5001. each, and two sureties of 2001. each, but on Mr. Christian making use of an intemperate expression towards his opponent, the Magistrate in creased his bail 501. FINE The Chandos Testimonial, which the farmers of Buck • inghamshire will this day present to the Duke of Buckingham, consists of a piece of plate, executed in silver-gilt, being of the value of 2,0001. and upwards. It is in height 4 feet 7 inches, and weighs about 1,800 ounces. Agricultural figures and emblems cc:Mips:l the devices : the mottoes are " Chandos, Church and State," "Chandos and the Corn-laws," "Chandos and the 501. clause." It is manufactured by Messrs. Green and Ward, of Cockspur-street, and designed by Mr: Edgar Papworth. TrishasticAz. Mrs. Harris, an actress at Miss Kelly's theatre, while rehearsing the other day, met with a severe fall, which caused a fracture of th e arm.

The Duke of Wellington returnod to Apsley House 1 yesterday, from Strathtieldsaye. The Marquis of Douro has gone to Strathfieldsaye, to I join the Marchioness, who has been staying there some 1 weeks. We hear that the Duchess of Buccleuch intends to give a series of breakfasts at Montague House, in the course of the ensuing month. Lord Stanley will give a grand official bangriet, 'to morrow, to a party of twenty-six, in St. James -square, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day.

The Earl and Countess of Beauchamp arrived on Mon day in Portman-square, froth the Continent. The Earl of Harborough has arrived in town, from a continental tour. The Earl and Countczs of Clarendon have gone on a visit to Gorhambury during the races. The Duchess of Hamilton left Portman-square, on Wednesday last, for Bath, on a. visit, to her father, Mr. Beckford. Lord Etulyn, who is about to marry the Hon. Miss Cavendish,.

SZISCELL3NnOUS. Lady Rouse Boughton - died at Dounton Hall on Friday lasi. From 80,000 to 100,000 persons visited Greenwich fair on Monday. Wandsworth fair, accounted the prettiest place o revelry near the metropolis,?ommenced on Monday, and: continues till to-night. In additio n the Royal donations for the people of liambargh, the Queen Dow.vger has remitted 1501. to the fund now raising. The principal inn at Doncaster. situated in French gate, known two centuries ago by the name of the "Gol den Lion," where King James stopped on his way from Scotland to London, and which was alSo a post of notoriety during the civil war in Oliver Cromwelfs time, was this week levelled with the ground. In _South Staffordshire, Shropshire, and Derbyshire women are excluded from the iron mines : in the two latter also, few children are required : in the former, the proportion of children employed is 70 boys to 100 men. From the coalmine statistics, it appears, that the average term of life of the miners is 40 years ; and that existence is shortened by this method of life by thirteen years. Of the diamonds and jewellery displayed at the Queen's masque, the only loss of value sustained is of a brilliant of the first magnitude, supposed to h i ave dropped from the girdle of Prince Albert's magnificent dress. At Strawberry Hill on .IThriday one suit of armour sold for 305 guineas, and a bugle horn for 135 guineas. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY,. TUESDAY EVENING. aa-The English Market has been firm at 924 to 92+ for oney, and 92+ to 931 ihr the Account ; Bank Stock, 67 to 168 ; India Stock,. 249 to 250 ; and Exchequer Bills, 38 to 40 prem.

Money has Veen very scarce in the English market, and has varied from' 3 to 10 per cent. in stock. This being set tling day in the Foreign Market, as much as 15 per cent. has been paid for the continuation on some of the bonds. The Foreign Exchanges were generally lower—Am sterdam, 12 44 to 12 4 ; Rotterdam, 12 41 to 12 4 ; Antwerp, 12 44d ; Hamburgh, 13 12+ to 13 11. ; Paris, 25f. 80c. to 25f. 82.1 c. ; Vienna, 9 52A to 9 531. , The subscription for the sufferers.by the late calamity in Hamburgh is going on exceedingly well. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The English fund. have been steady to day, and Consols are 924 to 924 fur Money, and 924 to 92+ for the Account. Three per Cents.

The rate of money has been on English funds 8 to 10 percent. on Stock; onForeign Stock from 7 to 15 percent. In Foreign Securities, Belgian are 101 A 1021 ; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 521 524; the Five per Cents. 100+ 101 ; and Brazilian, 671 681. The quotatifins - of Mexican, have been 37* to 374 ; ' market exceedingly flat. The Share Market is firm, and the transactions com prised Cheltenham and Great Western, 20 ; Brighton, 361 374 ; SOuth Eastern and Dover, 30{ ; Scrip, 74. This is settling day in the Bonds of- the insolvent States ; the usual game of raising the quotation of one Stock, which it was supposed had been given up, has this time been tried in Coluinhian. The quotation and Spanish Five per Cents 224 234 ; the Three per Cents, 23 ; Portuguese Five per Cents. 37 ; the Three per Cents. 221 ; Colombian, 27} ; Peruvian, nothing done. It would appear by the accounts lately arrived from America, that the new loan cannot find favour with the Americans themselves, but that this country, and some others on the Continent are, if possible, to be induced to lend the money. It is stated that no better stock can exist than this, and from its high character is worth several per cents. above the others ; after further pre liminary puffing of this kind, it is admitted that it can not be expected that more will be given for it than 85 48.100 per cent., unless the large holders of depre cated state bonds may be induced to take a small amount at par, on condition that something will be done to alleviate those stocks. To this is very naively added a calculation of the loss sustained on certain bonds in the hands of some London houses, pledged by the Mr. Jaudon on account of the United States Bank, to secure sundry loans made to that establishment. Out of nearly sixteen millions of dollars nominal value, the depreciation is stated to be nine millions, six hundred thousands or up wards of sixty-five per cent. Further, the London and Am sterdam houses altogether lose about seventy-five mil lions sterling by the fall in the stocks of Pennsylvania, MissisSippi, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan, and Il linois, and it is clear • that if they can induce the Federal Government to interfere, and by some act of Legislative assumption or otherwise, raise the price of the State Stocks but 50 per cent. only, they then could afford to make it a present of the twelve mil lions it wants. This extremely modest proposal, with the admission that nearly fifteen millions sterling are already gone, will, it is to be hoped, be sufficient to keep this new concern from the English market. Not one word is said in America of obliging these States to pay their creditors ; but if by stock jobbing the value can be raised above what it is at present, the unfortunate holders are to be content to divide the difference with America, pocket the loss, and take some one else in. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 16—The market was very abundantly supplied, and prices were rather in favour of the buyers ; 300 American were taken for shipping, 300 on speculation, and the sales amount to 4,000 bales.

GORtIAMBURY RACES. These races commenced yesterday in Lord Verulam's park, near St. Alban's, and having the recommendation of beautiful scenery, a promising list, and fine weather, attracted -a large attendance of all ranks, the holiday folks forming no inconsiderable portion.

'We resume our notice of a few more of the 1 11 14'' tures in this year'S Exhibition, which has been deli "e till now from want of space :—N9. 10, AnEize i i Landscape, by Callcott, is a beautiful compositioiilt. true to nature, and finished Off with great' ore its. details. No. 71, Ophelia, is by Redgravel chastely and skilfully embodies our conception of 5 character. This, artist has also three other pieta- 1 1 ' o „ in the Exhibition, one of which, No. 244, repr ess 6 , s that famous heroine of the nursery tale, Cuidere' er ,' when about to try on the glass iliroPod;.i The grouping :of this production is g but we should have been glad - to have see 1410!: little more characteristic expression thrown into countenance of the fair cinder-sifter. The malie e ;s ts, - picted in the faces of the step-sisters, greatly' a te l i er , the effect of the piece. No. 72, The Tired c . * resting at the Road-side Well, bears no indistirieto - semblance to some of Wilkie's earlier effiarts• 104, A Family about to leave Home iull 7l ° l. Divine Protection, is from the pencil of Collins' here shows himself possessed of the quick se t ,' sibility of the poet, as well as the skill. judgment of the painter. He has 6 03 0 ''' other paintings in the Exhibition, but 13 , we think, that are so efficient as this. No. 1 2117 ,O; Landscape with Cattle, by Reinagle, is soinethinibiA' Ruysdael's manner, and in saying this, we knes c ., o o. that we can give it higher praise. No.. 128, 44 ,01 , Bella, Lago ;Ifagiore, is an exquisite Italian lon e ' that has been often painted, but we know, not 0 ", has ever had more complete justice done it; 004 the present instance by Stanfield, who has ..bi7e ti t so ; , , out, in his most expressive, con amore style, $, 1i 4,0 4 1' characteristic features of a landscape which c l e tl,'' the eye of Rosseau, and is perhaps the most einifle'; 1' beautiful in Italy. No. 288, Highland Seal Snow-storm passing off, is true to nature, and fu i „, picturesque effect. Any one who is in the degree acquainted with the peculiarities of a WSJ'. landscape, will see at a glance that they are ; 4 1 stinted with the most scrupulous fidelity. The t o 4" to whom we are indebted for this clever piett l ,'. Lea, who is already favourably known 0 • • public by his masterly sketches of f).,„s sylvan scenery. No. 294, Aaron staying the 1 -1 1 ' !VP is but pm indifferent conception, and is feebly out. No. 352, Market-Girl, contains some ' • points, but it bears evident marks of hast l , is 4^ negligence, especially as regards the drapery , . is slovenly handled.

No. 379, the Convalescent, is a earefullyfinished joo°," by Williams. No. 485, The Covenanters riage, is too much of an imitation of $ " painting, entitled the " CovenanterN Weddh i f M ‘lan, which appeared in the last 'year's Exh l .,, Mr. Johnstone should have trusted more to 111',.der''. resources, which are by no means of an inferiorfosi His sketch shows marks of a free and ready . 1 ;10 A, ro,‘" e No. 410, Two Children, representing an old velii a child.blowing.buhbles, is an ingenious idea t ` executed.
