The more we consider Lord ASHBURTON'S correspondence wit:t Mr. WEBSTER, the more reason we find to praise his frank and manly proceeding. During his Parliamentary career, Lord ASHBURTON was so remarkable, and par ticularly of late years, for using what are called see-saw arguments, that it was commonly said of his •peee:tes that one part answered the other. The Noble Lord refined and qualified so much that be left his bearers in doubt whether he had ever formed a decided opinion. Knowing that. presumed infirmity of the Noble Lord's mind, we certainly did him, when he was appointed Ambassador to the United States, the injustice of describing him as an unfit person to under lake so important a mission. We now acknow ledge our error in answer to both opponents and criends, and feel much less reluctance to do that han regret at having fallen into it. No journalist in the empire has been more agreeably disappointed by the Noble Lord's rank and decisive mode of proceeding than we have. He seems to have carried on his nego dations with the spirit of an enlightened nerchant, who knows to the fraction of a i.rthing what the thing is worth which he : wants o 'buy—who states at once what he wilt give for t, and who cannot be overreacjied. His second otter to Mr. WEBSTER, published in The Sun, eems to us to form quite an epoch in diplomatic ..r6 , _teedings. It goes stpaigth to the object in - iew, a,,d states clearly what he is prepared to oncede and what to refuse. After noticing the supposed disadvantage of cieaking first, which be nevertheless readily .aes—after a just allusion to " an earnest desire, 'hich has distinguished his political lirp, to Aaintain peace and promote harmony between ie two countries"—after appealing to Mr. trEBSTER to bear testimony that, in their in drmal communication, he had rejected "those vices and manoeuvres which are supposed nomntly to be the useful tools of ordinary plomacy"—after explicitly stating that they ere to avoid controversy, agreeably to which he had not communicated to Mr. WEBSTER an dditional volume of controversial matter he had i;en supplied with"—after thus 'throwing aside the tons of verbiage which have been spoken ad printed to support the claim of each country ) its own line, the Noble Lord comes to what ione can be the mode of settling the dispute, that in fact a new line is to be traced between the State Maine and the Province of - ..N - ew Brunswick." is his short and off-hand way of getting rid • all the, diplomatic notes, and protocois of 4eeting's, under which the interest of the two Aions 'had been buried. Probably this rejec on of ten y ears ' e l oquent and enl i g h tene d dis :ssions, in cluding, moreover, the notes of Mr. ANNING, the ulaster of the late Minister for oreign Affairs, m ay g i ve us a clue to the anger the Globe a:“.1 the Morning Chronicle. Merci ssly did the new negot i ator, in the frankness .rd simplicity of his good sense, cast aside all ,e rubbish of his predecessors; and, if he offended , e of them, he succeeded—which we are now rsuaded Lord PAI.3zERSTOs never would have !ne-- iii ensuring peace to the two countries. The principle on which the Noble Lord pro eded was one which we have already praised. e recommends that they sh3uld " keep in nd ',he intentions of the framers of the first .aty - of peace in 1783, as expressed in the •e.amble to the provisional article, in the fol- Ting words Whereas reciprocal advantage d,inirtual convenience are found, by experience, form the only foundation of peace and friend 'p between States.'" The Noble Lord, looking the peace and friendship of the two countries, king their reciprocal advantage and mutual Avenience, and knowing that to revive dis ';es about the old lines would make !.!ni lose sight of, these principles, prt ,!ds at once to trace a new line. Without advantage of having seen these statements, t: guided only by common sense, we did, on the t. ult., treat the attempt of the Chronicle to .:!p alive the discussion of the old lines es mere v eiling, when a new line, co , iveniect to both :ions, had beeti adopted. We are phased to • d our views confirmed by the words of the city of 1783, and by Lord AsnRURTON'S conduct. '‘'he Noble Lord then proceeded to lay down I new line on these principles, and to state silicitly the stipulations he would agree to, and concessions he would make, including the 4igation of the St. John's, in conjunction with a settlement of the boundary. And from the plan he then sketched out, we cannot see that he afterwards consented to make one important de viation, except giving up the Madawaska set tlement on the south side of the St. John's. He defended the right of the settlers very ably, but he was compelled in the long run to yield to the more stringent reasons, which suggested the propriety of establishing the river as the boundary between the two States. Regretting that a loyal people, however small in numbers, should be separated from a Government to which they are attached, we must admit that the arguments against Eng land retaining a strip of territory on the Ameri can side of the river were insurmountable, and Lord ASHBURTON could not avoid giving up the Miclawaska settlers. If, when all their rights of property were ensured to them, we must call theirs a sacrifice-we must add that it was such a sacrifice as States ever make of their subjects in wars, to secure a general advantage. With great tact and great gentleness did Lord ASHBURTON pursue this negotiation, at one time seriously endangered, to a close. Mr. WEBSTER, from having, we presume, been longer engaged with the subject than the Noble Lord, could not throw aside so completely as Lord ASHBURTON did the rubbish of former discussions, and some times, in conjunction with the Commissioners from Maine, he insisted too much on the old claims, and forgot that they were to establish, "by compromise," a " new line," which should be " mutually and reciprocally advantageous." Finally, as we already know, Lord ASHBURTON'S desire of settling, " on amicable and equitable terms," a controversy "which the authorities of the two countries had tried in vain for half a century to effect," overcame all obstacles, and he concluded a treaty which seems to us calculated to give to both countries security and peace, without sacri ficing one tittle of the honour of either. - We see with satisfaction that the condition of the working classes continues to claim the first place in the consideration of the most intel ligent journals. " It is not sufficient," says the Westminster Review, " to have suppressed the disturbances, we must investi gate their cause and prevent their recurrence." "The late insurrections have shown that there can be no im punity for further negligence or delay. Let our rulers lay its impressive warnings to heart, and he wize in time. Let them manfully grapple with the great sub ject of popular wrongs and popular distress, without wasting more years in party warfare which has already so alienated the people.' The Times of yesterday, in an article, much of which commands our assent, had the following observations. We quote them for their own weight and truthfulness, and the warning they breathe, as well as for the assent we give them : "Right or wrong, too, it has furnished some tolerable test to those who can examine and judge, of the force, combination, and energy with which a large body of these classes are now able to pursue an object on which they have set their wills. It has shown a tre mendously extensive body, possessing—whether by persuasion, or personal influence, or mere organiza tion, or well applied force, or fraud, or, which is most fig, nidable of all, by real and settled community of ob ject—a power of moving ataheir will an overwhelm ing portion of the manufacturing workmen of the kingdom. And certainly not the least threatening characteristic of the movement is the degree to which this body has fulfilled its own plans of a peaceful war fare. Not that it has actually abstained from vio lence : yet that violence has been controlled within definite limits, and has been exercised with a delibera tion and purpose which distinguish it broadly from a mere outbreak of temporary feeling—a riot of Mer thyr colliers or of Bristol bargemen." "If there be any destined historian of the British convulsions of the nineteenth century, he will distin guish them from all others as having been effected by men without property, but who could read, write, and understand each other—neither the senseless outbreak of undirected masses, nor the orderly change of which Nobles and Parliament are the guiding and balancing principle—a movement of numbers against wealth and rank, yet no Jacquerie or servile war ; deliberate and progressive, yet owning no allegiance to the existing order of things, appealing to no present or past con stitution, professing no reverence for the recognised laws and distinctions of society—not the work of am bitious genius or blind despair, still less of sober pa triotism, but of an unsound and widely spread intelli gence—of a conscious power and fancied wisdom in those who think they must gain by convulsion ; or ganized not so much at the bidding of one or two able and influential speakers, as by a slow experimental process, by partial trials of strength, and by constant arid general communication of ideas among large bo dies of tolerably acute and instructed men." The Review gives, from the personal knowledge of the writer, an example of the discipline and order observed by the Turn-outs, which we will also quote : " In one case, where a numerous party assembled at the house, and marched through the garden and grounds of a gentleman of large property, residing near the seat of the disturbances, they promenaded in correct procession, never strayed from the gravel walks, never touched a single flower, or committed the smallest injury ; and one of the leaders called the attention of the gentleman to the regularity of their march, and made him observe that to each forty men there was a captain or constable attached, whose duty it was to preserve order among them, and whom they were bound to obey." Our daily Contemporary, after dwelling so em phatically on our " Jacquerie, deliberate and progressive," does not jump to the conclusion like some other Tories, that half our towns must be engulphed ; on the contrary, lie quotes M. DE LA - MARTINE to show that the " world is becoming mechanical," or manufacturing, and that we must give a soul to manufactures, that take them as a man takes a wife, and make the best he can of her. The conclusion our Contemporary draws is that "we must change the men," and this is to done "by plain, practical zeal, in subordinate instruments, which will fix itself un the spot, and devote itself to the work." In other words, our Contemporary relies on establishing zealous priests in every small district, as a mean, of correcting ,and controlling that fin midabie organization, " guided by intelligence a;,d moving at will an overwhelming portion of the manufacturing- population," which he has brought under notice. We will not reiterate our own opinions, often expresses, that the Church and the priesthood are utterly incom petent and inefficient to the great and necessary end proposed; we will only say that if men in authority can suggest no other and better means than the priesthood to rule, govern, and guide the multitude, there is much ground fur future glamor. If the priesthood had indeed preserved and acted on the true spirit of Christianity, the religion of love—of which the one great idea is that of self-sacrifice—they might impart " that soul to manufacturers" which they want, and guard against that " hardness of heart to which those nations are prone who make a God of gold." Unfortunately for the country, the clerxy, on whom the Times relies to give a soul of love to manufacturers, are as much poisoned and corrupted by the love of gold as the most avaricious manufacturers. We have given in another part of the paper a portion of the lengthened correspondence ez:rried on in- nearly two months betweep Lord Asti- BURTON and Mr. WEBSTER : relative to the Boundary treaty, and ..i.e glad to find that it confirms the flout - I:able opinion generally enter ' tained of the candour and ability with which his Lordsl , 4 conducted the negotiations. The first letter is from Lord ASHBURTON, dated Washing ton June 13, and contains a general view of the long-continued controversy with an intimation that he was authorised to treat for a conven tional lin e . The American Minister in reply statcs that he is duly authrised to prooceed to the consideration of all the disputed points, and respectfully invites his Lordship t o s t a t e gene rally his view of the case, and the expectation of his Government. The vitation is acc e pt e d displays n iliffi:rs widely from thatl long, wmlaysanner in which this i n - much frankness,- an d hi t e o h rm i a, s i to a o hd ofte S a o ‘ m v i t t l : nes:i:rd in those times obscure State Papers called pr o t oco l s . i. 1 trust," says the Nobl e L or d , " that you will have perceived in the course of my hitherto informal communications to you, that I app roac h my duties gene rall y w ithout any of those devices and manoeuvres which are supposed to be the useful tools of ordinary di p l omacy.

Much blame is attached by certain writers in this country to Lord ASHBURTON for the facility with which he yielded to the claims of the Americans, but the correspondence affords no ground for such imputation. His Lordship's language is firm, but respectful. He rejects many of the points claimed by Mr. WEBSTER, and distinctly states that lie has no power to give them up. We refer our readers, hOwever, to the correspondence itself, which, though of great length, will amply repay perusal., In one state ment of his Lordship every triend of peace will cordially concur. " The territory in question,' he says, " is that portion of it at least which is likely to come to Great Britain by an amicable settlement, as worthless for any pur poses of habitation as probably any tract of equal size on the habitable globe ;" and he then adds that but for the necessity of a line of communi cation between the British North American provinces, we should long ago have given up the controversy. Yet for this miserable strip of land, containing a few acres of bog or snow, as well described by a French writer, certain parties by the most inflammatory language are doing all in their power to involve the two coun tries in a bloody war. This is not the feeling of the country in general, and least of all the feel inn: of men who have any title to the character of Christians. In the last Number of the Sporting Review occur some remarks on prize-fighting, which are curious and worthy of notice, as showing the marked change that has lately taken place in the public mind, as respects this blackguard exhi bition. Twenty years ago the bare announce nent of a prize-fight would have created quite a stir and a sensation, not only in the sporting circles, but generally among the people. For days—aye, and weeks—before hand, the Papers would have been full of the subject; sketches and anecdotes of the combatants—particulars of their trainers and their mode of training, as also of their backers,bottic-holders,&c.—would have been given with a minuteness and an emphasis that must now appear quite ridiculous; and when the day appointed for the fight arrived, special re porters would have been despatched by all the leading journals to the scone of action ; thousands and thousands of all classes from all parts of the country would have assembled there, as at some grand national jubilee; every hotel, inn, and private lodging, for miles round would have been crammed to suffocation ; immense sums of money would have been won and lost ; and the day would have been characteristically ound up by drinking, rioting, gambling, and all sorts of gross animal dissipation. Such would have been the scene presented twenty years ago on the advent of that Carnival of blacklegs and pick pockets—a prize-fight; such the excitement it would have created among a large mass of the community ! But now, how changed the cha racter of the age—how infinitely improved and elevated the tone of the public mind ! No longer is there a WYNDHA3I among us, to rise in the House of Commons, and, amid the cheers of that assembly, formally give his sanction to the " manly English sport of boxing." The Ring is at a discount. Its advocates are ashamed pub licly to avow their predilection. In a word, the Whole thing is dead, without hope of resur rection. For this salutary change in the public mind, we are indebted to the general spread of education; and more particularly to theestablish ment of Mechanics' Institutes, which have wrought quite a magical transformation in the intellect and feelings of the working classes, by revealing to them sources of pure and elevated enjoyment of which they had previously no con ception; and showinK them, not on;y that Know ledge is Power, but that it is the surest, the safest, the most ennobling and lasting of all Power —a guide as well as a beacon, to instruct them what to pursue, as well as what to avoid— a friend to assist them in their progress through life; to cheer them by its healing and kindly counsels in the hour of adversity; to fit them to enjoy prosperity in a thankful and modest spirit to give a proper direction to their ambition ; and make them useful and exemplary in all the social relations of life. We hope the day is not far distant when education will be as universally diffused among the people, as the air they breathe. Not a Whig education—nor a Tory one—nor yet- a Chartist one—but an education based on a comprehensive, catholic principle; which shall altogether eschew partisanship; and, looking to the welfare of the whole community, shall adopt as its leading aim and object, the " greatest Happiness of the greatest Number." An educated people can never be otherwise than a happy and prosperous one, for they must necessarily have a direct controlling influence on the Legislature, which consequently can never pass laws but such as are in accordance with the practical experience, and are approved by the common sense s of a thoughtful and in structed nation. The intelligence from Madrid is destitute of interest. The following is the state of the Funds on the 22d ult.:—The Three per Cents. were done at 21 7-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 26 for cash, and 261- 9-16 at 60 days• On the 24th one bargain was concluded in the Three per Cents. at 211, at 60 days; another in the Four per Cents., at 1C; and the Five per Cents. sold for 2t3i at 60 days, and at 274 with premium. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers. Accounts from the provinces de scribe the deplorable ravages occasioned through out France by the late rains, which produced in various districts inundations unequalled in ex teiit since the year 1812. In several of the wine districts (those of the Rhone particularly) the vintage had been nearly destroyed. The Courrier de la Gironde publishes a letter from a Bordeaux merchant, complaining that by the new American tariff the duties on French brandies are raised to 250 per cent., and on French wines to 100 per cent., which amounts to an actual prohibition, and will deprive the two n fe e r iaenunr annually of y h w e h s i a h l e t t o h f e 4 h o i departments of the Gi ron d e and the Charente highest d h u e t c y to i l m it p re o s se o d f by the same tariff on British manufactures is but 40 per cent. Ministers were successively returning to Paris. Marshal SOULT reached that capital from Eu on Thursday, M. DUCHATEL was expected in a couple of days, and M. GUIZOT had removed from his summer residence at Auteuil to the Hotel of roreign Affairs. Although the KING was not to take up his residence at Paris before the 14th of November, there nevertheless arrived on Thurs day and Friday, at the . Palace of the Tuilleries, a number of waggons laden with boxes and bag gage, which were deposited. in the pavilions of - Fiore and Marsan, where active preparations were making for the reception of the Royal Fancily. The Duchess of ORLEANS is to preserve the apartments she occupied previous to the lentil of her lamented husband.

The King and Queen of Prussia arrived at Neuf chatel on the 24th inst., and were received with great potty. The houses were ornamented with garlands of flowers and green branches, and hung with flags of various colours. A triumphal arch was erected at the part of the town by which their Majesties were expected to arrive, and a grand decoration was constructed near the Hotel-de-Ville. The Royal carriages arrived at the triumphal arch at six in the evening, and the King and Queen were re ceived by General de Pfuel, Baron Chambrier, the Burgomaster Robert, and a numerous body of the citizens. An address was here presented to the King, to which he gave a most gracious answer. The cor tege then proceeded through the town, saluted by the incessant acclamations of the crowd, which filled the streets. On its arrival at the Chateau, the higher functionaries collected in the court, and welcomed their Majesties with loud cries of Vive le Rai ! Vive la Reine 1 The guard of honour, composed of a com pany of Carabineers and infantry, presented arms, and the drums beat a salute as the King alighted from his carriage.--Galignani. We learn from Munich that Prince Milosch Obre nowitch, who had come to that city with the inten tion of remaining some time, suddenly left it for Vienna on the 23d inst., on the receipt of a letter from the Austrian capital.

The Caledonia steamer, commanded by Captain Lett, arrived at Liverpool on Saturday from the United States. She left Boston on the 17th, and Halifax the 19th ult., and has had very rough weather, with head winds almost all the voyage ; she has 35 passen gers. The steamer Acadia arrived at Halifax on the 16th, in 12i days, and the Margaret steamer from this port in 14} days. The Great Western had not reached New York when the last accounts left that city. The American papers contain the correspon dence between Lord Ashburton and Mr. Webster, re lative to the late treaty. The Duke and Duchess of Leuchtenberg arrived at Vienna on the 22d ult. They were expected to re main a fortnight. A private letter from Madrid, published in the Memorial Bordelais, says that the Spanish Govern ment will shortly publish a decree of amnesty, but it will contain many exceptions. The Italian Opera season opened on Saturday evening at Paris. The report of the death of M. Eugene Bore, the Eastern traveller, turns out to be unfounded. He arrived at Constantinople on the 20th August. Let ters dated the 6th ult. have been received from him. The railroad from Berlin to Frankfort- on-the- Oder will, according to a letter from the Prussian capital, be opened on the 15th of this month, which will be the King's birthday. The Leipsic Gazette states that the newly-elected Sovereign, Alexander Petrowitch, who is said to be 40 years of age, had made his public entry into Bel grade, and taken the oath of fidelity to the Constitution. On Thursday the commanding officers of the regi ments in Paris gave a farewell dinner to his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale, previous to his depar ture for Algeria. A Paris letter in the Augsburgh Gazette, states that the Duke of Orleans had executed, shortly before his death, some excellent strategic maps of the two sides of the Rhine and of the States on its banks, as well as of all the projected railroads in Germany. These maps have, it is said, by the King's orders, been collected together at the Etat-Major General. Workmen are employed at present in deepening the bed of the river Morgon, which runs through the town of Villefranche, in order to prevent those inundations which have from time to time caused such devastations. A few days since the workmen in d'gging discovered several coins of the time of the Roman emperors, a number of abbatial medals, some small silver crucifixes, &c. A letter from Rome states that the Papal police are on the alert to seize copies of an Italian book printed in London, and distributed profusely throughout Italy, containing infamous calumnies upon the Church and the Papal Government. The Amsterdam Gazette publishes the Imperial ukase of the Emperor of Russia authorising the raising of a loan bearing interest at 4 per cent., to meet the expenditure required for the execution of the railroad between St. Petersbugh and Moscow. A Royal ordonnance, dated the 25th ult., appoints M. de Cambry, late Master of the Mint at Rouen, to succeed M. Collot in that office at Paris. MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. The railroad from Leipsic to Altenburg has been j opened. SPORTING. The sale of the Marquis of Westminster's blood stock at Eaton Hall last week realized about 3,000 guineas. The principal lots knocked down were— Launcelot, 500 guineas ; Satirist, 255 guineas ; Mo rea, 200 guineas ; Sleight-of-Hand, 200 guineas ; Candahar, 155 guineas ; William de Fortibus, 155 gs, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The Money Market closed with a decidedly firmer appearance, much of which is to be traced to the com plexion of the intelligence from America, which gene rally cannot but be considered as favourable. It is. however, to be found that matters there are now re presented too much a la coleur de rose. The general tone of the papers received by the Caledonia is that national faith should be preserved, in order that the new loan, as a commencement o ffurtherjinancial operations, should be recognizeil in Europe, but not one woAl i written upon the subject of the repudiation by indivi dual States of the several loans contracted by them. The general Government, in reality, fear the wording and nature of the Constitution cannot offer so good a security as a separate State. And it is from the absence of this power, that no portion of the ne w State loan has yet been taken on this side of the Atlantic. It is not to be denied that our exports to the United States have not increased in the ratio which might have been expected, but it is a grave question whether the falling off has not been well purchased, though dearly, at the expense of nearly thirty millions ster , ling. It may be safely inferred that the persons who are now so anxious to cry up American credit, would be the first to avail themselves of a rise, and sell their securities. A gentleman who came over to negotiate the loan in Europe, has discovered it is impracticable to do so, and consequently is about to return to his own country. Consols left off at 92* 93 for Money, and 93 93* for the Account ; India stock, 247 ; Ex chequer Bills, Old, 49 51 ; New, 48 50 premium. The prices of Foreign Securities have again im proved, Dutch Two-and-a-llalf per Cent. Bonds being 514 52/ ; the Five per Cents. 100 1001 ; Bel gian, 1021 1031 ; Danish, 8384; and Brazilian, 66 67. The quotations for Mexican Bonds are also higher. It had been expected that the packet would have ar rived ere this, hut .the pacific tendency of the intelli gence from Texas, via New York, has given increased confidence to holders. The last figure was 33 334. . . The firmness in the Share market continued, but business was chiefly confined to Brighton, which, at the close of the market, were 255. better than oil Sa turday, the price on the one day having been 34+ 351, and now 36 361. London and Birmingham were -183 185 ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 39 41; Great Western, 811 821 ; the Half shares, 59 591 ; south Western, 571 581 ; North Midland, 56 58 ; the New shares, 27 28 ; South Eastern, 23+ 23+ ; Eastern Counties, 81 8+ ; Northern and Eastern, 35 36 ; Blackwall 6+ 7 ; and Brighton, 36 361 per share. The accounts from Spain and Portugal have in duced some good-natured persons to believe that a change is about to be wrought in their finances, or as it has appeared " that a disposition exists to bring about a financial reform," consequently a rise in the quotation of the Bonds has to be noticed ; but the particular cause thereof is somewhat inexplicable, inasmuch as no certain information has been received which at all changes the position of the bondholders. Colombian, 201 21 ; Peruvian, 154- 161; Portuguese Five per Cents.. 354 361-; the Three per Cents., 21+ 211-; Spanish Five per Cents., 16+ 16+; the Three per Cents., 21 211. The chief day of business in• the Corn market has not passed off without a failure, another having been announced, the liabilities of the house being larger than any which has yet been obliged to suspend; but it is supposed that this mill be the last which for some time be driven to take this step. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Money Market remains m the same inactive state as to business, and Consols are firm at 92+ 93 for 'Money, and 93 for the Account ; New Three-and a-Half per Cents., 100- i i- 101 ; India Stock, '249 250 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 49 51 ; New, 48 50 prem. The Foreign Market has exhibited rather more ani mation, and the prices of Securities are a shade bet ter ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 52 ; Belgian, 103 1031 ; and Danish, 821 ex-dividend. The quotations for Mexican are a trifle higher, being 32+ for Money, and 33 for the Account. Some considerable transactions have taken place in Brighton Railway Shares, but with this exception the market has been flat. The price, particularly New Shares, opened at an advance f ss. upon that of Saturday, and have since reached 352 35k, wnich is quite 11. higher than on Tuesday. The South Western have been sold at 574 ; South Eastern, 23k 234 ; the Scrip, 122 ; and Blackwall, 64. Spanish Bonds are again the only ones which are quoted, the Five per Cents. 154, and the Three per Cents. 20k, which is lower. An evening paper on Saturday reversed two figures in the returns of the circulation, thereby making it appear that an increase of 536,0001. had taken place in the issues of the Joint-stock banks in England, instead of a decrease of 3,341/. Two of our Morning Contemporaries have copied them, and all three have made the expansion the subject of remark, but the statement in the second edition of The Sun was correct. The amount of notes issued by the English joint stock banks, 17th September, was 2,819,7491., on the 20th August, 2,823,0001.; and the whole circulation of the kingdom was, on the 17th ult., less by 514,3261., in stead of being greater by 28,,000/., as has been mis represented. The information in the mercantile letters received by the Caledonia is extremely meagre. Affairs are however represented as gradually improving, with increased confidence, and every piospect of a revival in trade. The vessel has brought over several orders for goods, which will of course give an activity to our manufacturers. It is expected that the tariff in its operation will be found not to be so prohi bitory as had been represented; but now that a set tlement of that question has been brought about, commerce will be . placed upon a more s t ea d y b as i s .

A meeting was held last week at the Southwark Literary Institution to oppose the Bill now before Parliament, for removing the interment of the dead from towns. Mr. Bradford said he was the proprietor of the Lower-fields, Bunhill Burying-ground in Golden-lane, which land had cost 20,0001., and an additional 3,0001. had been expended upon the pro perty. There was a chapel capable of containing 500 individuals, under which there were large catacombs and vaults. If this Bill passed, he should like to know what was to become of this property? AGRICULTU - Rat. At the Preston agricultural held on Satur day, in that town, Mr. Othwaite, a farmer, in making observations on the use of artificial manures, such a 4 rape dust and guano, stated his conviction that with industry and skill, the British farmer could supply the people of this country for the next 200 years, even though they should increase as they had done for the last twenty. LAW AND POLICE. _ _ Patrick Doran, the supposed Liverpool incendiary, was committed on Friday for trial, but bail admitted. The Judges, on the opening the Commission at Stafford on Saturday, refused to admit O'Neill to bail. Much dismay prevails at Manchester among the Chi rtists of that locality, in consequence of the appre hensioa of almost the whole of their leaders and lec turers. Eighteen have already been lodged in prison. Among them are Harney and Ottley from Sheffield. Campbell, the Secretary to the Chartist Association from London ; M'Arthur, from Carlisle ; the Rev. Mr. Hi.a, Editor of the Northern Star, and T. B. Smith, both arrested at Leeds; w:th William Fletcher of Bradford,' and Robert Brook of Tedmorden. They all stand remanded till to-day. The prisoner Gifford has been remanded till Wed, nesday, at Southampton, on the charge of conspiracy to destroy the Queen. VINE ARTS. Madame Soyer, better known as Miss Emma Jones, whose death we noticed within these few days, had, although only twenty-nine years of age, painted no less than 403 pictures. The chief are "The Lemon seller," and "The Two Israelites," after Murillo. COURT-PASUIONABLE. The Baroness Lehzen left town on Friday for Ger many. . . His ExCellency Earl De Grey left Newby Hall on Saturday for Liverpool, in order to embark for Ireland. The Earl and Countess of Zetland have riaturned to Aske Hall, Yorkshire, from Kerse House, Stirling shire. The Marquis and Marchioness ofLansdowne reached Paris on Wednesday last from Germany. Viscount Exmouth returned last week to Canon teign, Devon, from Cowes, Isle of Wight. The Earl of Clare, Viscount Clifden, and Lady Do ver are visiting Viscount Duncannon at BesborouBll, Ireland. Lard ale Lady Prudhoe are going to pass the autumn at Aln wick Castle, with the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. The Countess de St. Aulaire is expected at the French Embassy on Thursday from Paris. Compt Pahlen arrived at IVlivart's Hotel on Sunday from a twelvemonths' tour in Egypt: The Lord Chancellor has returned to the Clarence Mansion, Brighton, from London. MISCELLANEOUS. The solicitors of Dublin have got ,up a requisition for the purpose of voting a monument to the late Sir Michael O'Loghlen. The whole of the prisoners at Dublin confined for debt are now being removed from the other prisons to the Four CourtsMarshalsea, which will in future serve as the one debtors' prison in Dublin. It is rumoured that Chief Justice Pennefather will go to the Rolls' Court in Ireland, and leave the Queen's Bench open to the Attorney-General. Another opi nion is, that Mr. Blackburne will be offered the vacant Mastership. The Clerkship of the Crown for the county of Gal way is vacant by the death of Mr. P. Fitzpatrick, who died on Thursday last. ST R ATHBOGIE PRESBYTERY. --- On Wednesday week, his Grace the Duke of Richmond entertained Princi pal Macfarlan, the majority of the Presbytery of Strathbogie, Mr. Graham, of Aberfoyle, and others, at dinner at Gordon Castle, in a style of true High land hospitality. His Grace has taken every oppor tunity, during his sojourn in the north, to pay the most marked attention to the majority of the Presby tery of Strathbogie; and all those who assisted at the respective sacraments have, without exception, been received and entertained at the castle. Not a sin le member of the minority has been shown the least at tention by the Noble Duke.—Aberdeen Herald. THE CAUSE OF THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE VISIT OF THE COURT TO CLAREMONT.—Arrangements had been made for the departure of the Court from Windsor to Claremont on Friday last, where her Ma jesty and Prince Albert (who would have ken accom panied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal) were to have remained about a week or ten days, in order that his Royal Highness Prince Albert might have enjoyed some ex cellent shooting, which is to be obtained upon the well-stocked preserves of his Majesty the King of the Belgians. The pheasants, and indeed every de scription of game at Claremont, have been most care fully and expressly preserved for his Royal Highness and the distinguished friends of the Prince. Some severe cases of scarletina having manifested themselves a short time since in the immediate vicinity of Clare mont, a gentleman from Windsor, who was on a visit in that neighbourhood, with a loyal regard for th health of the Sovereign, her illustrious consort, and the Royal infants, lost no time in communicating this fact to the Lord Chamberlain. The necessary inqui ries were then instituted, and the Royal visit to Clare mont was promptly advised to be postponed. Those cases of scarletina alluded to have at length been found to have resolved themselves into typhus, and her Majesty. has, therefore, very judiciously aban • ' doned - the intention of proceeding to Claremont fur the present. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, INIoNDAT.—This morning the Queen and Prince Albert took their usual early walk in the Home Park and Slopes. Afterwards the Prince, attended by Lord Rivers, Major-General Sir Edward Bowater, and the Hon. Captain Duncombe went out shooting in the Great Park. The keepers were in waiting at Bear's rails. His Royal Highness shot splendidly, 24 brace of pheasants, 8 brace of partridges, 4i brace of hares, and 2 couple of rabbits falling to his barrels. His Royal Highness returned to the Castle to lunch. In the' afternoon her Majesty and her Illustrious Consort rode out in a pony phaeton, his Royal High ness driving, followed by a pony carriage and four, containing the Countess of Mount Edgecumbe, Hon. Miss Stanley, and the Hon. Miss Hamilton ; Lord Rivers, the Hon. Captain Duncombe, and the two Equerries in Waiting, were on horseback. The Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal were taken out twice to-day, accompanied by the Dowager Lady Lyttelton. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Charlotte Dundas, and Lieut.-Col. and Mrs Bouverie, will join the Royal Dinner circle at the Castle this evening. His Royal Highness Prince Georg , of Cambridge visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager yesterday at Marlborough House. His Excellency 1113 'furnish Ambassador, and General Sancho, the Spanish Minister, visited the Earl Of Aberdeen yesterday at the Foreign-office. M. Hupedon transacted business on Saturday at the office of the Board of Trade. The Earl of Ripon left town yesterday for his seat Nocton, Lincolnshire. Dispatches from Sir Charles Bagot, Governor of Canada, were received yesterday at the Colonial office. Dispatches were also received from the Governor of Gibraltar. We stop the press to announce that Mr. J. Arthur, bookseller, was arrested this afternoon, by a police officer from Manchester, on a charge o f s edition, a n d was taken off in a chaise in the cu s t o dy o f K en t, o f the Carlisle police establishment. It is understood that the charge against Mr. Arthur is founded on the part taken by hi:n at one of the Chartist meetings in Manchester, when he signel , c?rtai n reso l ut i ons w hi c h he described as " dangerous in on e o f hi s l etters ad dressed to the Chartist Association in this city, during his sojourn in Manchester as the delegate from - the Chartists of Carlisle. The arrest was not known until a few minutes before his departure. —Front a Second Edition of the Carlisle Journal. THE \VAR PRESS.—We observe that the War Press, headed by the Whig Morning Chronicle, as usual, is frantic because Lord Ashburton has not em lroiled us with America, but succeeded in getting the Boundary Question amicably and h onoura bl y sett l e d . Be it remembered this is the sam e P ress t h at h oun d e d us on to war in Syria, to war in Chi na , t o war i n Affghanistan ; and it is said to be the representative of Lord Palmerston and the late Whig Ministry. We trust the country will keep those men out of office so long as they are actuated by so fierce and bloody a spirit. We observe it statedin rounded and mighty periods, in justification of these breathings of fire and slaughter, that " the honour of the country is con cerned." The honour of the country forsooth ! As if that had in reality anything to do with the matter ! If there be " honour," however, assuredly it is getting out of these abominable Whig wars as fast as we can. It is to the eternal infamy of the country that it ever allowed a Whig Ministry to engage in them.—Leeds Times. It is not perhaps generally known that many of the iron masters are generous enough to allow from 2s. 6d. to 10s. a week to several old workmen, when quite unable to do anything. Anth on y Hill , Esq., of Plymouth iron-works, used to exhibit a benevolent example in such acts until the Union of 1831. It is said that he has not given so much since that me morable twisting epoch. William Crayshaw, Esq., gave 10s. a week to old Rees Beynon for some years up to the time of his death. Other masters, it seems, act similarly.—Mownouthshire Merlin. INCOME-TAX.—SALARY or CURATES.—A clergy man,•having the assistance of three curates, wrote to the office of Stamps and Taxes requesting to know " whether in the returns to be made under the Pro perty-tax Act their salaries were to be deducted ?' The reply is as follows :—" In answer to your letter, I am directed by the Board to state, that the salaries of curates can only be admitted as a deduction in the returns made under the Property Act, in those cases in which curates are licensed by the Bishop at a fixed stipend."—Birminghain Advertiser. DEATH OF THE BAILIFF OF GuERNSET.—The Gazette of this island contains the announcement of the death of Daniel De Lisle Brock, in nearly his eightieth year, at Guernsey. In 1821 he obtained the high and responsible appointment of Bailiff, or Chief Magistrate of Guernsey, we believe th roug h the joint recommen dation and exertions of Si r J o h n Doyle, and the then L ieuten ant-Governor, Major-General Bayley. During his Chief Magistracy, he several times was deputed to London on the various interests at issue, as they related to the welfare of Guernsey, and in all of which so conducted his measures as to elicit the highest ap probation of his fellow citizens, and on two occasions pieces of plate were voted him. TIIe iNcomE•TAX.---Th e Income-tax is likely t.) prove more dangerous to Sir Robert Peel than Iv , supposed, or than it need be, through gross misma nagement of the details. Some country papers have complained that the provision to secure secresy, by which householders are empowered to forward their returns under sealed cover to a superior officer, is frustrated by the local assessors breaking the seal. Instances have come within our own knowledge of needless, and therefore unjust, trouble given; even the returns are negli gen tl y serve d, and when applica tion is made at the offi ces th ey are frequently found to be unprovided with them. People the less grudged the tax, odious as its very name was, because they thought that it would be well managed ; and they re garded the Premier's repute for business-like qualities as a guarantee that it would. They.did not indeed think that he would himself do duty in every office. but they expected him to see that others did theirs. Ills that been looked to ? Are the subordinates who executed the law fitted for their office by ability, zeal, arid discretion ? the army of tax-collectors free from tra; tars—political adversaries of the Govern ment, who would like to make the tax not less, but more odious ? The Fi rs t L or d o f the Treasury ought to be able to ans wer th ese ques tions ; and to say that the management o f th e tax h as been intrusted to these who are not o n ly a b: e an d h ones t in their own per sons, but capable of choosing their subordinates pro perly. At all events, it is manifest, from the very pro ceedings of the functionaries and the construction of the returns, that the system itself is faulty. It might be worth the while of Minister to investigate this inatter.—Spectator.

There were grounds, perhaps, for allowing some .. time to the South Sea whalers, which take up two- . , and-a-half or three years in the voyage ; but loss ". must arise' to every holder of goods on which he has ; AV; paid a high duty, when the duty is lowered, as has , ;1 4j been the case with almost the whole of the articles in • - the Tariff. The exceptions made by Sir Robert Peel •;; 4- 4 were pressed upon him by particular interests, and I . think he must now be convinced that he acted wrong '• ,;„ in yielding to any applications. I know that the - r , postponement of the lower duty on timber . until Oc- , • tober has been productive of much distress to the work- !• 5 ; ing carpenters generally, as the masters have been un' willing to-buy timber to carry on any work with - the. high duty, when a few months' delay would save it. The postponement of the reduction of the duty on Onion ,Seeds was, we are informed, very discreditable; as it has thrown considerable profit into the hands:of .•,;rt• a few speculators, who had interest with the Board of ' Trade to procure the alteration. . The' postponement of the reduction of the duty on Cork was also the result of solicitation, by which the monopoly on that , article is continued for a year longer. I take the opportunity of stating that the public will- ,• not derive the advantage which the reductions in the c - k, • 't; Tariff ought to give to the consumers, until the delays •• • • and impediments at the Custom-house are 'removea and until that Board is reduced in number to. two ; Commissioners, .and one or two Secretaries, there .• ls little hope of these impediments being removed. -The . 7: late exposures of frauds in the silk department 'poinit.4.•:, • out to Sir Robert Peel the absolute necessity of. & . strict and immediate examination • into, and reform 04 9 ' their proceedings.-I remain, „ . 1.• London,.

A considerable degree of alarm and excitement was created in the neighbourhood of Folds, Little 1391t0n, on Thursday last, in cOnsequence of an'in - • quisition, held at the Crown Inn, upon the body of William Eccles, a boy, of nearly fifteen years of age, son of Henry Eccles, a carter,.and who has hitherto borne an irreproachable character. The Jury were at first summoned with an idea that it was an ordinary case of sudden death ; but, from facts that., ; fterwards , transpired, the Coroner deemed it ne cessary .„ to have a post mortem examination of the body ; the result of which proved there was a large quantity of arsenic in the stomach of the deceased- The evidence yet given does not implicate'. any i individual ;' but it is asserted, that from inqui ries made, there is every reason to suppose that the deceased's step -mother has been, guilty of the murder. It appears that Betty Eccles, then a widow, was mar ried, about two years ago, to Henry Eccles,. a carter, of respectable character, who was then in the service of Mr. Hardcastle, bleacher, at Firwood, but was dis charged in consequence of some faux pas on the part of his- wife, and has since been working at Manchester, the family remaining at Little Bolton. On Tuesday last .. the deceased went to his work, and on his return for ~. dinner, was supplied with a damson pudding, of which he ate heartily. On his return to his work' he begaa '-• to feel sick, and vomited rather freely, and was cool- ' palled to leave work for the purpose of returning - home; but he had swallowed such a large quantity of ~!., arsenic, that, on his way, he was obliged to go be': hind a hedge; where he remained until a workiniii- v in the same employ, named Devonport,. who was 8A his way home, about four o'clock in the afternbon, was I . informed by a girl of deceased's state, and on finding him took him home, and he died the same evening. The Jury, on the recommendation of the Coroner, adjourned the inquest until Thursday after noon, when it was stated that the body of Alice Haslem (who was interred a fortnight ago);daught.er to the woman, by her first husband, had been ex humed, and that, on examination, a quantity of arsenic had been found in her stomach. The bowels' of the boy were also found to contain a considerable quantity of poison. The matter had now assumed a ve:y serious aspect, W and the Coroner recom mendt.d that the inquest should be . further Adjourned until Tuesday next, and then to be held at the police office. This was at once agreed upon ; but, in the.. case or the girl, an additional number of jurors Were 11 ,,,1 sworn, and the body was inspected in the yard of th e )11 parish church.-11-fanche.'ster Guardian. t • , 10 ; FREEMASONRY.—.A.mong these Fathers 0..: the _ Order there is o ne, whose name is known from north to south-•--from east to west—from Indus to the Pol!;. ,M O l one whose erudite researches have enriched the braries of all connected Nvith the Craft, from the son' of r.,ya in hIA ancestral palace; 'to the humblest r , artis at hi:: loon; ;--;--one; Is - hose writings have given 01 to the Fraternity a literature specially its own, hic I terteitoti; circumstance of illustrious birth, or ( 11, co it ~Ufa-. ever have secured for t l - ake familiar to the Brethren of everY and Peit:ifPLl alike With the ,Masonic studies iof dative.: cf . every quarter of the glohe,;--0.n. , -, whose character ; a! , a divine, a scholar, and 3 Mason, are united 'all the Christian graces; — in a • word, One, in whose p rson are Concentrated so many rare pttl,lier and private virtues.,. that if we search !hr,itlitli the annals of the Craft, from the earl iest period:; of time to find his equal, we search in vain , " himself is his only parallel Character of Dr. Oliver , , by Brother Sharpe.
