THE PERFECT SUBSTITUTE for SILVER. CATALOGUE, with ENGRAVINGS (Gratis), POSTA GE FREE.—The celebrity of the rich and silvery appearance and extreme durability of the material made ex elusively by ourselves, has induced many attempts to foist Ivan the public the notoriously deleterious German Silver under the guises of Albata Plate," •` Berlin Silver," &e. ace., against which we especially warn them. Aided by an eminent chemist, we have succeeded in purifying our material that acids do not affect it ; it is now so well known and appreciated that it is universally superseding silver in all its uses. The genuine metal, which is more durable than silver, tan only he had at our warehouses. It is the same through out, and can be engraved and made in all the various articles that are in silver, from which it can only be told by reference to the stamp.

Coach, or II COTE A meeting, convened by the Political Institute, was held on Tuesday, at the Crown and Anchor; " for the purpose," as the notices expressed it, " of considering the best steps to he taken in the present alarming crisis." About one thousand persons were present. 'the Chair was taken - by Mr. Cameron. The CHAIR - max congratulated the meeting on the progress which the Chartist cause has made. The time was whir they found it difficult to get a place in which to assemble. Now the most spacious and prominent places of meeting were avail able to them. Public opinion expressed through them had been put down by armed ruffianil but at that moment dele gates from various parts of the country were there assembled, to state the sufferings of their various localities. They could judge of the progress their cause had made by the manlier in which Mr. Sharman Crawford's motion had been received in the House of Commons. On the occasion of that motion Sir Robert Peel had boasted of his prophecy with respect to the Reform Bill, but he forgot to state that he had himself fulfilled his own prophecy.--( Hear, hear.) He (the Chairman) trusted they would be coon in a position to present Sir Robert Peel with a different argument, in the advanced organization of the people.—(Cheers.) Letters Ofapologr were read from Mr. T. Duncombe, M.P., and Mr. Leader, M.P. The CHAIRMAN said that no apology had been received from Mr. Wakley. The SECRETARY (Mr. Parker) proposed a resolution in favour of increased exertion in behalf of the name and princi ples of the People's Charter. Mr. BALLS seconded the resolution. Mr. BA IRSTOW, member of the Convention from Notting ham, supported the resolution. Class legislation was the evil with which they were grappling. They were determined to wage eternal war with it, and to give it no quarter until they not only annihilated it, but all the corrupt principles which through it were engrafted on our institutions. Mr. FERRO US O'CoNNoit came forward, and was received with loud cheers. lie had often before sworn allegiance to the Charter and its principles, but as a good thing could not be done too often, he then repeated his vow of alle giance to the Charter in name and in principles. —( Cheers. ) Their cause, as the Chairman had said, had greatly pro gressed; but he did not, as some did, expect much conces sion from their present Tory Prime Minister. His opinion was, that if the Whigs were devils, the Tories were devils in hell.—( Cheers.) They had nothing to hope from Toryism. When it was weak, it was cowardly ; when strong, it was tyrannical.—( Cheers.) Therefore tile people should go against the whole system in bulk, and not depend on.any of the factions. The people would certainly do so. They were every hour be coming more pißitically active. Sir Robert Peel was forcing them into political intelligence. Every man worth 1501. a year would be certain to be politically informed.—( Cheers. ) The Tory Prime Minister had become one of the greatest pro moters of the Charter.—( Loud cheers.) They had been told that the Charter was buried, but after seven years, since its first agitation, the Chartists were more ripe and ready for action than ever.—( Cheers. ) On Monday next the trades would carry the muster roll of the nation to the House of Com mons, surrounded by the delegates, "who were commissioned to seek fur full representation for the people. They were the only associated party in England capable of putting down Toryism.—( Cheers.) He therefore called on the Whigs to join them ; but unless they did so in name and in principles they should not join them at all.—(Cheers. ) Delegates from Wiltshire, Glasgow, Midland Counties, and Lancashire, addressed the meeting. After which the resolu tion was carried unanimously. A resolution in support of the General Convention. and pledging unabated exertion to procure the pardon of Frost, Williams, and Jones, as also of all political offenders, was agreed to. Several Delegates addressed the meeting in support of the Charter, and called for a numerous attendance at the proces sion on Monday next.—The meeting then adjourned.

LISMON, A reit, 18. —The Infante, lately born, was solemnly baptised yesterday at the Royal Chapel of the Neceseidatles, M. Capaceini acting, by procuration from the Pope, as godfather, and the Princess Isabel Maria as godmother ; a grand banquet was afterwards given to his Excellency, at. which the Foreign Ministers, together with the Portug uese Ministers, the Duke o f P a l me ll a , an d members o f the house hold were present. The Grand Cross of the Order of Christ was given by the Queen to Monsignor Cappaelni on the occa sion. The town was illuminated in the evening, but the bad weather prevented its being very brilliant. M. Capaccini had the keys and the triple Crown in illuminated lamps in front of his residence. Three Royal carriages, with a squadron of cavalry of the Municipal Gua r d, W ere se nt to convey his Excel. fancy to the Royal Chapel, who was treated, in short, with all the respect shown to Royal personages. The little Prince Jahn has a long string of names, Gregory of course among them, and hay been created, by . Royal decree, Duke of B?ja. The Bishop of Leiria has been added to the commission ap. pointed to consider the Papal pretensions, and is reported to be decidedly opposed to some of them. The Pope had clan destinely authorized some parties here to distribute bulls end grant dispensations, and the Governsgt had threatened the parties in question with prosecution. M. M. Capaecini's ;ark val, it appears, he at first refused to present himself unless cer tain bases were first established; and this difficulty being got over in some way, the negotiations went on, and the Govern ment (M. Capaceini being authorized by the Pope to take the whole affair of the bulls and dispensations upon himself) agreed that he shoeld appoint proper persons to distribute them, &c. ; but the choice of the Nuncio tell on the very individuals for merly clandestinely nominated by the Pope and disallowed by the Government, and whom the tatter now again objects to re cognize in that capacity. The French Minister supports all M. Capaceini's pretensions, I hear, and the Court is said to be in great dread of a quarrel with him. In reality, the country has suffered so much from religious schism that a renewal is looked upon as a much more terrible thing than twenty changes of constitution. The Government want the Vicars-General appointed by them to conduct the affairs of the vacant sees to be made, by the Pope, Bishops in parlibus, which M. Capac. cini refuses, contending that the appointment of Pishops in par gibes is the exclusive right of the Pope. It seems probable, therefore, that the poor Vicars-General will have to remain without the high-sounding titles of Archbishop of Lacedemonia, Bishop of Ethiopia, &c. Sce. The execution of Mattes Lobo for the murder of his aunt, two cousins, and maid-servant, last autumn, took place on Saturday at the Boa Vesta, not very far from the site of the murder. The criminal was previously conveyed in procession from the prison to the house where the murder was committed, where he was addressed by the ex-Prior of Marvao and another priest, and his confession was read; he was carried in a chair borne by four condemned prisoners, being in a great state of prostration. One of the clergymen who addressed him was taken suddenly ill, and died at the foot of the gallows; and the other fainted, and was carried off in the arms of the bystanders. The father of Mattos Lobo was a respectable farmer, and died. some months since in consequence of the shock he received from the report of his son's crimes. The latter had rather an intelligent countenance, and not at all ferocious ; his confes sion was that he murdered his aunt in a fit of passion or jea lousy, and that the other victims were killed from neeessitv ! The robbery he totally denied. The itcrolitcao to-day lectures the people for the cries of indignation expressed by them against the murdcre: on the way to the gallows, and calls out for the abolition of the punishment of death altogether. The export: of wine from Lisbon to all parts areas follows: In 1837 there were exported 18,604 pipes ftom the Custom house of the Sete Cases, of which 1,200 were for ports within the kingdom of Portugal Proper. In 1839, 19,302 pipes were exported, of which 500 to ports within the continent of Por tugal. In 1310, 18,806 pipe;, 816 of which to ports in Por tugal. Last year the exportation fell to 15,664 pipes, of which 764 to Portugal Proper ; of the rest 921 pipes to Portuguese possession., and 132 pipes to the islands, Azores, &c. The buik of the remainder went to Brazil, which took 10,595 pipes; England, 1,241 ; Iluss:a, 1,233 ; United States, 337 ; Hol land and Belgium. 140 ; Sweefen, 113 ' • Spanish America. 86; and France, 77 pipes. There has been a considerable falling Old late in the amount sent t• Brazil. The Government has ordered a full investigation into the outrage committed on the two gallegos at Oporto, which I re ported last week. The new contract for loan between the Government and the tobacco contractors for the supply, in instalments, of 1,060 contos eash, has been published in the Diatio. T he contractors arc to to repaid partly out of the decima, and partly out of the proceeds of the tobacco revenue. itself; but for 500 contos in cash, the contractors engage to take from the Cove:mood 1,250 contos of the Anglo-Portuguese bond (5 per cent.), agreed by the former contract made by Senhor Avila to be purchased by the Company of National Credit, and made over to the Government. The parties to the dew loan being nearly identical with the ether, the effect will be, that only 750 contos will be purchased and cancelled, instead of 2,000, as reported upon the best possible autho rity in such matters. The Government, in tact, instead of receiving the other 1,250 contos in bonds, will receive 500 contos in money. DEFERRED ANNUITIES. The best and most varied provision for after life hitherto of fered—E2 12s. per annum (R. per creek) at 20, will at 65 give the policy-holder the choice of an annuity of £47 16s. 6d. or £349 11s. cash, or policy at death of £.166.

UNPRECEDENTED SALE. rir HE failures have been so numerous the last -3- months in the Linen trade, that the Assignees of the estate of JAMES FERGUSON arid CO., Bankrupts, Linen Merchants, of Coleman-street-buildings, put up the Stock for sale three separate times, at the Sale Rooms, Commercial-lane, wilhout a single uffer. BROOKS and CO. having been informed of the circum s'ances, waited on 'Mr. Stewart, of Ironmonger-lane, the Soli citor, and offered to dispose of the Stock to the Public in six weeks, at such reduction as is necessary to turn it into cash immediately, Brooks and Co., contrary to the first intention, have deter mined to disrose of it to private families, in parcels of five to twenty pounds worth, at an unheard-of reduction.

Some of these are very good, and others very indifferent. The best, we think, is one bearing the name of A. O'Diiseoll as the artist, and which has been published by Spooner. The likeness of Good in this picture is admirable; . in fact we can scarcely conceive that a closer likeness could be taken, except indeed by the Daguerreotype process The like ness of Tyrrel, the gaoler, who is represented in the saute box as Good, is also very exact ; but the other figures are not so well executed. PARIS, APRIL 2;3.—Tiv . ! weather, which had for a fortnight been colder than had been the case for many years in April, has become suddenly very hot. We have now an Italian syk and temperature, and All that is wanted to promote rapid vegetation is rain : a little fell last night, but it was not suf &lent to do much good. The Journal du Havre of Saturday announces that orders have been received there to re - establish a Chamber of Commerce, in lieu of that which resigned in consequence of the postponement of the Sugar Bill. In geographical po3itioa, France is happily situated; the sea and the Pyrenees bounding her on the west; the waters of the Mediterranean on the south ; the Alps and the Rhine on the east ; and Belgium forming her northern, and it is true, most accessible, and less marked, frontier. The surface of France is, in general, a level, very moderately undulated. The borders near Spain, Switzerland, and the Rhine ; the central mountains, or hills, of Auverne ; and the ridge of Cevennes form the exeeeion. The Seim, Loire, Garonne, Rhine, Saone, and smaller rivers, open an extensive inland navigation, susceptible of very easy and great improvement; par ticularly- requiring the general use of steam-boats. The Rhone has already been connected by a canal with the Rhine ; and the Great Northern Canal opens a navigation from the Seine and Oise to the Scheldt. The rivers and seaports of France have now their navigation unlocked, and opened with each other, and with the rivers of Germany and Belgium, by means of eighty-six canals. France has done but little in the formation of rail roads. A very bad one extends from St. Etienne to Lyons ; one from Paris to St. Germain, and two from Paris to Versailles, comprehend, with the exception of a few miles of branch-rails, the whole railroad com munication of this extensive kingdom. Arthur Young divides France into four irregular regions :—" In the first, the vine is not ; in the second, the maize is, not : in the third, the olive is not; in the fourth, or the southern, there are the olive, the mulberry, and the vine, with most useful grains and agricultural productions ; in the third, are all but the olive ; in the socond, all but the olive and maize, or Indian corn ; in the first, all but the olive, maize, and vine.". According to MM. Chaptal and Mentelle, the soil of France may be classified under seven heads, by in cluding the departments in which each quality predo minates. As far as my own observations enable me to judge, I consider the arrangement correct. in the following statement, the prevailing lands are accordingly arranged. Rich Arable and Pasture Lands.—Pas-de-Calais, Nord, Somme, Aisne, Seine-et-Marne, Seine, Seine et-Oise, Eure, Eure-et-Loir, Sein e -I n f er i eure , Ven dee, Deux-Sevres, Loiret, Oise, Bas-Rhin, Aude, Tarn, Lot, Garonne, and Hemlt. Heaths, Mossy and Barren Lands.—Loir-Infe rieure, Morbihan, Finistere, Cotes-du-Nord, Ille-et- Vilaine, Maine-et-Loire, Orne, Calvados, Manche, Lot-et-Garonne, Dordogne, Gironde, Arriege, Gers, Aveyron, Gard, Hautes et. Basses Pyrenees, and Landes. Chalky Lands.—Marne, Haute-Marne, Ardennes, Aube,Loir-et-Cher, Indre.et-Loir, Charente, Cha rente-inferieure, and Vienne. ' Gravelly Lands.—Nievre and Allier. Stony Lands.—Moselle, Vosges, Meurthe, Meuse, Haut-Rhin, Cote-d'or, Yonne, Haute-Saone, Doubs, Saone-et-Loire, Jura, Ain, Rhone, and Loire. Mountainous and Hilly Lands.—Hautes: et Basses- Alpes, Var, Bouches-du-Rhone, Vaucluse, Drome, Isere, Correze, Lozere, Cantal, Puy-de-Dome, Haute- Loire, and Ardeche. Sandy.—Cher, Indre, Creuse, Haute-Vienne, Sar the, and . Mayenne . . Of the eighty-six departments of France, coal is found in forty-one ; and iron is equally abundant. For steam navigation the former is, however, not conveniently disposed. Gold is found, but not in sufficient quantities to pay the labour of working. France has also mines of silver,. copper, tin, manga nese, cobalt, arsenic, nickel, bismuth, &c. ; and great plenty of mineral salt. _ Porphyry, marble, granite, slate, millstones, grind stones, freestone for building, fine porcelains, clay, &e., are abundant. Although the original forests of France have been nearly all levelled, yet the kingdom has a much greater proportion of good, and generally larger timber than England ; and were it not for the great quantity required annually for fuel, the growth of timber trees in France would be quite sufficient for all domestic purposes, unless it be fancy woods for furniture and cabinet work. A great variety of fish frequent the western and Mediterranean coasts, and most fresh water fishes a bound in the rivers. The colonies of France, with the exception of the small islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, which are, however, of great value, and part of Algiers, are all important in regard to their tropical productions. The natural resources of France enable her to be more independent of exterior productions than any other country ; and not only to assume and maintain a more formidable military position, but also to re cover sooner from the disasters of long wars than any other European Power. In these respects Prussia and Austria most resemble France. SEAPORTS OF FRANCE. FIRST CLASS, 5, viz.

France, before the revolution of 1789. was divided into thirty-two provincial governments. The kingdom was afterward; subdivided into eighty-six departments, and the whole formed into military, administrative, financial, judicial, academical, and ecclesiastical divisions. The administrative divisions, &e., of France, as cen tralised in the bureau of the Minister of Justice and Public Works aro eighty-six departments, containing (according to the returns of 1832): — Hectares of land.. 52,760,298 Inhabitants Persons enrolled as national guards As contingent milia Qualified as jurors Enrolled to vote for the election of deputies 100,639 Members to represent the department in the Chamber of Deputies 460 These departments have been subdivided into— 363 arrondissemcns, 2,835 cantons, and 37,021 communes. Each department is under the administration of a Prefet; The arrondissemens are each under that of a Sous-Prefet; The cantons, severally, under that of a superior Juge de Pais ; and The communes under the administration of a Mayor and his assistants. SUDDEN DE-ATH.—Late on Monday night an in quest was taken before Mr. Higgs, deputy.coroner far West muster, at the Sun Tavern, Curzon -street, •May-falr, on view of the body of Thomas Oliver Gascoigne, Esq., aged 36. Amongst the personal friends of deceased present at the inquest were, Earl de Grey, Lord Morton, W. Beckett, F.sq. M.P., W. Ferrand, E sq ., W . L. Gilmour, Esq. , H. B. Ra.Y:EN" J. Oliver, Esq., Robt. Oliver, Esq., &c. Henry Soames deposed that he was valet to the deceased geatleman, who resided at No. 40, Curzon -street. He was generally in the enjoyment of good health. About two o'clock last Sunday afternoon witness last saw hint alive, at which time be was in the drawing-room. An hour afterwards witness, on going into the room, found him sitting on the._ floor with his head restinr , on the arm of one of the chairs apparently lifeless. Ile imm ediately called up Mr. APDonald, the landlord of the house, when a surgeon was _sent for,>wio pronounced him to be dead. Mr. J. Moody, surgeon, No. 11, Curzon -street, considered that his death was caused by apoplexy. It further appeared that. deceased, who, on the demise of his father would have come into possession of 60,0001. a-year, was subject to epilepsy, in a fit of ahich, no doubt, he was first seized, and that merging into apoplexy ter minated in death. Verdict—" Died by the visitation of God." About two o'clock yesterday afternoon a fire broke out at No. 6, Loder-place, near Buckingham Palace. It soon caught the adjoining house, and Was still raging ac cording to the last accounts. A young ehild is said to - lave perished in the dames. Baron Lagos' plan has been before the Council of State, and I hear is not yet decided on. Its advocates say that Portugal can never pay the prospective interest of five aril six per sent. on principal and arrears; and that, therefore, the creditors trill do better to secure the present addition which is offered them by Barns Lagos' plan of conversion, viz., instead of 4 per cent, on the principal and arrears payable in London, four per cent. on the principal payable in Lisbon ; the difference is father more than one per cent. The argument the advocates of this plan use against this scheme of conversion now going on may be turned against themselves. per cent. additional in terest would require an additional annual provision of nearly 400 contos per annum ; and, quiere, whether in the present state of affairs such an annual charge in addition to the 1,000 contos per annum, now payable for the half dividends, can be securely provided for I doubt it very much ; the last dividends have been paid by lcans, a great deficit still ,remains, and claims of various kinds, which had been agreed upon be tween the Fuglish and Portuguese Governments, have not yet been discharged. The Peninsular officers, for instance, have 109,0001. of arrears owing to them, which 1 mentioned last year had been agreed to be paid in twelve instalments, at three months each ; well, nothing has yet been paid them. There are other claims due and equally unsatisfied. Under these cir cumstances, I do not regard the plait of conversion into a Por tuguese Four per cent. stock as one likely to benefit the perma nent holders. No doubt a single dividend could be provided for, which might enable speculators to gain and some large holders to shift their burdens on other shoulders at a good profit; but until the state of things here is very different to what it now is, the prospect of Portugal being able to go on paying four per cent. seems a very doubtful one. The French ships Jena and Africaine left on Wednesday last. They were, I understant. to touch at Cadiz and Tangiers or Gibraltar, on their way to the Mediterranean. A French sailor, who was proved to hare killed the Portuguese boatman, remains in prison. M. de Varennes wanted him to be given up to French justice, but the Government refused. The Indus and Lynx remain. The former has been down at Pace d'Araos three days, practising firing at 800 yards. Lord Howard and a party went down the river on Saturday in the Lynx, to witness the firing, and I hear were highly gratified with the excellence of their practice. MEMOIR OF M. AGUADO, THE SPANISH FINANCIER. M. A. Aguado was born in the year 1786, in one of the pro. vinces of Spain, and was, at the time of his death, in his fifty-sixth year. At. the age of twenty-two be entered the army, and was a captain of dragoons hi the service of Joseph Bonaparte. On the termination of the war of independence, he supported himself by selling wine: but when the Royalist loans became desperate in their state, M. Aguado, who was always a keen speculator, immediately put him se lf forward to undertake the management of the deranged finance, and be came, in a short time, the agent of the Spanish Government. From this period the history of the finance of Spain is, virtu ally, the history of M. Aguado's life and well-managed transactions. The Spanish loans have so long filled a large portion of space befora the public eye, M. Aguado being the manager and contractor of every one of those which have been made since the fall of the Constitutional Government, except the first, which, amounting to 334,000,000 reals vellon, was contracted b Guebhard, of Paris, with Senor E rro , w h o was i n 1823 Minister of Finance, that the fittest thing we can do is to set . them out in a distinct and intelligible form, and to deduce from them the actual proceeds which they have given, as well as the loss which from M. Aguado's successive authorizations, arising out. of the distracted state of the country, the Spanish Govern ment has sustained. SECOND LOA N.—The decree relative to this loan was pub lished in the Madrid Gazette, Bth March, 1824, and the Spanish Government, whose financial difficulties were inereas ing from year to year, authorised M. Aguado, on the 2d of May, 1825, to negotiate to the amount of 18,767,000 reels Tenon,' on account of the stock created by the decree of March. The commission was four per cent., and the interest payable at Paris at an exchange of sf. 40c. per dollar. THIRD LOAN.—This was contracted with M. A. Ague* Oct. 15, 1828, for 300,000,000 reels vellon, at 47 1 ,4 per cent., commission 5 per cent., interest payable in Parts at an ex • change of 51. 40c. per dollar. The sums arising from this loan thus managed by M. Aguado, amounted to 153,09t),000 reels vellon real value. This sum enabled the Government to dis charge the half-year's interest, paid one series of the Royal loan, arid satisfied other demands on the treasury. Foun.rit LOAN —This was contracted with M. A. Aguado on the 25th January, 1830, for 293,100,009 teals vellon ; the price was 56 per cent., payable in thirteen monthly instalments, the interest 5 per cent., and commission 5 per cent. The pro ceeds of this loan amounted to 117,448,300 r. v. real value, which were employed to meet the vari o u s d eman d s upon t h e Spanish treasury. This loan made up the amount of 800,000,000 r. v. as created by the decree of the Bth March, 1824. Firm Loa N.—This was mie of the moot difficult pieces of M. Aguado's financiership, and wai ably and creditably ma naged as far as he could control the circumstances over %cinch he had to employ his talents. This loan was created by an autograph decree of 21st February, 1831, for an indeterminate quantity of 3 per cent. stock, not exceeding 1,000,000 dollars. The principal object of this decree was the recognitior. of the loans contracted by the Cortes, and they were to be cor,vcred as follows:—For a bond of 100 dollars stock of the Cortes' loans, an inscription of •)0 dollars 3 per cent. steel: was given, and the remaining SO dollars were capita/isea , and'exclvanged capi tal for capital - for certificates of deferred debt, cort':ertilsle one fortieth u e s e t e n d t withsto: stock h ; ij t c r h ti o a ee n; e v er r e d; e i e v r n i s:i i . o e d n n s i o c a s t t . i k a n , f t o ifi r c ti a e t t e h s. in j a . ch A y g e u a a r do in w to as 3 e p n e t arrear were also exchanged capital for capital for the like err • commission of 3 per cent.
