If distinct countries stood to each other in the same re lation that two counties of the same country bear to each other—if by creating, not one " country of shop keepers," but fifty—in short, by making the world one commercial system—if by this process commerce • can be made to swallow up everything else, so that men can speak of nothing, dream of nothing, think of nothing, and act upon nothing, excepting only pounds, shillings, and pence—if this is possible, then Mr. Cobden's Utopia may also possibly be realised, but not till then. It is singular to remark the different ways in which different classes of men seize upon , different common principles as the one connecting link which is to bind men and nations together in unity. We need not, of course, remind our readers of the connecting point which Christianity affords ; nor can any one fail to remember the schemes of statesmen and lawyers for universal and uniform codes of laws, or of scholars for a universal language ; but it is singular that the very love of gain should thus be viewed in the same light, and be put for iard at length as the only infal lible bond of unity. . Our Contemporary's description of trade pro ceeds on the notion, that the merchant creates it, instead of being the mere instrument for carry ing it on. He supposes that it' springs ex clusively from an avaricious desire to get pounds, shillings, and pence; whereas it is based on the want of fbod, and want of clothing, both of which wants are satisfied by trade. The commerce be tween nations is only an extension of the trade between town and country, and this again is only the perfection of that primitive barter which springs from division of labour, without which each man must supply all his own wants, ' and remain for ever a worm-grubbing- savage. As traffic extends men use it to gain riches, as the lawyer, or the physician, or scientific chemist uses his art to obtain wealth and dis tinction ; but it would be treating the vast ac quisitions of a BROUGHAM, a BAILIE, or a DAVY, with unworthy contempt to ascribe them to a vulgar love of gain, or to suppose that all the members of their distinguished professions thought of nothing, dreamed of nothing, and acted on nothing, except only pounds, shillings, and pence. Mr. COBDEN'S main proposition is, that were trade as free between countries under different Governments as it is between the different counties of England which are under one Go vernment, it would be as difficult, or impos. Bible, for those different Governments to fo ment or make wars between the two countries, as it is for any men to foment war between Kent and Lancashire. There was a time when the inhabitants or those counties were as much strangers to each ot l ar as the inhabitants Cf Lancashire and the State of New York. Now they are so united that it seems an l'itapo2sibility to suppose them in a state of hostility. What has amalgamated them ? Continual free inter course, the uninterrupted passage of goods and persons from Kent to Lancashire, and front Lan cashire to Kent. One wants hops and wheat, the other cottons; that has begotten a mutual and reciprocal interest; they serve and help each other, through the instrumentality of the London merchant and the Liverpool ship-owner ; they form one brotherhood, which would continue to trade together and live in harmony, whatever form of government Great Britain might possess. Now there is at present much more direct communication between Liverpool and the city of New York than between Liverpool and Kent. Already there exists between these two ci ties a reciprocal and mutual interest, to interrupt which by war would be. like tearing a man limb from limb. As neither New York nor Liverpool constitutes the whole United States, nor the whole United Kingdom, (it is possible for the Government to plunge into war and inflict that great injury on those two cities; but if the greater part of England and the greater part of the United States were as closely connected as these two cities, war between those countries would be as impossible as war between Kent and Lancashire. Mr. COBDEN says that free trade would produce such a connexion—is he right or wrong ? In spite of a law which operates almost to exclude the agricultural produce of the Northern and Western States of the Union from England, and in spite of a tariff ivhich burdens all our manufactures with new duties oil their arrival in America, there exists a traffic between the two countries which in value, imports and exports together, is not less than 20,000,000/. per year. In the great towns of Sheffield, Manchester, Bolton, Glas gow, Leeds, there are great multitudes of men hungering for the food which is plentiful in the North and Western States of America, and they earnestly desire to be employed in making knives, axes, ginghams, counterpanes, muslins, woollens, &c., which the owners of that food are anxious to procure. In the Northern and West ern States of America there is a vast and a grow ing population, which is as desirous to grow food for the starving multitudes of our towns, as they are to make clothing and tools for their Ameri can customers. In the one country there is an immense town population with a great capacity to increase if they could obtain food, eager to ex change their produce with the vast and increas ing agricultural population of the other. In the one there is a continually increasing number of bellies to be filled, and in the other a continually increasing number of backs to be clothed. Now, if such a vast trade has grown up between these people, based on these wants, in spite of the jealousies of their Governments, and the absurd and even cruel restrictions we have mentioned, is it chimerical, is it Utopian to believe that were those restrictions abolished the trade would be almost immediately doubled, and such vast interests would speedily and mutually connect the town population of England with the agri cultural population of the United States, that hostility between them would be as impossible as hostility between the inhabitants of the town of Liverpool and of the meadows of Cheshire ? We look on Mr. COBDEN'S supposition to be as true as it is cheering,for the prospect it holds out to those who will hereafter have the wisdom to realize it. To gentlemen who have never known want, and who have engaged in no other labour than such as tended to improve their minds and re line their taste, who being, by the providence of their ancestors, endowed with the means of sub- sistence, and who only study, even if they study at all, to obtain the refinements and enjoyments of life, this reference to filling bellies and clothing backs, as the basis of all trade, will seem, we are afraid, vulgar; and they will, probably, fly off to their customary phraseblogy, and speak of national interests and the sublime truths of religion and science as the proper (*.Elides for statesmen. Let us plead for the common wants of our common nature. Let us to be, the first and chief aim sub sistence is, or ought . . that the warrior should respectfully remind them that to ensure ly to protect the husbandman, draw his sword on h* Id plead but to defend itis of all social institutions, and the lawyer should security rights. To give . one great - end and provides fur ourwants, is the remind to industry, while wants of man, those who impugn the natural aim of all political contrivances. Let us that those vulgar wants must be gratified, and that i t i s only when they are gratified that to gratifythem , lei sure and refinement come. Let us add, that them, the clever toil of the husband man, the wonderful ingenuity of the manufitc . turer, the bravery of the seaman, and the skill of the artist, are all called into being, and that in exercising their various arts they adorn and ennoble h uman nature. Let us further add, that it is b y supplying. are made mutually mutual wants th a t men depende n t, and taught mutual respect and mutual kindness. The trade r which is based on supplying men with food and clothing, is one great source of civilization and moral improvement.

It is a misfortune for England that not only her rulers, but the bulk of her public writers are educated at schools and colleges, much more un der the guidance of mere classical scholars or of the clergy than of men acquainted with the af-- fairs of the world.

Why, you have the principles throughout the word of peace . at once established of the earth together b ru t cenze. & t, you knit the nations Away with all idea of wyar.hbePri. ; wiples of free trade. shall be as free to exchanetw' "' n two countries that other, as two of o ur E nglish g c : the. trouble and all th e vexationu wours b e t ween each ilties.

If worldly strife can be healed by theological controversy, the Church, according to the Bishop of LONDON'S Charge, will be an admirable means to restore unity to our sundered people. Perhaps much may be expected from " re generation by baptism," which the Bishop says is, beyond all doubt, the doctrine of the Anglican Church ; but some clergymen, it seems, doubt u this fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith," and " alter, or omit some part of the baptismal service." The unfortunate people who may get amongst them one of these misleading priests may thus lose even the advantage of " regeneration by baptism," and be left without any help. Su again, as to Church discipline, the Bishop implied that some clergymen do " not ob serve the Rubric, and are guilty of no ordinary crime," yet these criminals are to be the guides of mankind. He recommended them "to with draw from the ministry," and of course set up rival chapels, to exhibit to the people sharper and fiercer contests between the teachers of Christianity. " Several of the clergy," says the Bishop, " had lately observed Saints' days," which lie .( did not think was Popish, and he should not object to it." How vastly will such an observ ance benefit the people ! It is another name for idleness and holidays; and Saint Mondays, under the auspices of the Church, will be ob served thrice a week. The loss of such festivals, the Bishop tells us, was caused by the negligence of the priesthood, and one of the speediest ef fects of their newborn zeal will be to restore them. Some people now wish to stop locomotives on Sunday, but when the Revival is complete, steam-engines, and all that depend thereon, must stand still whenever the Church ordains a fes- tival. If that should, perchance, benefit the workman, it will scarcely add to the national wealth nor the public revenue. The dress of the clergy is to be simple, says the Bishop, arid thereby the people are to be made respectable. To provide for the public welfare, the clergy are not, " when reading, to turn their backs on the people." There is virtue, too, in '; placing candies on an altar, if they are only allowed to burn when the church is lighted up." Great things, also, are expected from the clergyman " ascending the pulpit immediately after leaving the communion table ;" and the whole people may possibly be converted to righteousness by their preaching " in their sur pikes in the morning and in their gowns in the afternoon." In conclusion, the Bishop threw in a recommendation to charity, as a make-weight, and exhorted the clergy, whose controversies Ire had been exciting, to be of one heart and one mind. We have given an abstract of the abstract which the Tory journals have published of the Bishop's Charge. The controversies and ceremonies he adverts to are the means which the Church offers to cure our present disorders. More Church, too, is all which the Tories have left of their own to prescribe for the people. More of these ceremo nies, controversies, and Saints' days is what they now, as a final remedy, recommend to the starving and afflicted workmen. If we could possibly feel, in the present circumstances of the coun try, any other emotion but indignation at such heartless, unthinking quackery, we should laugh heartily at the transparent hypocrisy and uu , blushing impudence of those who pretend, with a grave face, that more Church, as the Church is described by the Bishop of LONDON, is the pana cea for the national evils. The great movement now in progress Yawn' the German States promises to be attended wit;' important results to this country and France. A strong desire is manifested throughout all those districts where the German language is spoken, to form a political as well as a commer cial union, which shall be animated by the same spirit, and above all by one feeling in common— a feeling of national honour. The disjunction of the Italian States, and the ruinous civil wars which they long carried on against each other, have rendered Italy all but helpless, and made her, on the ocasion of any great European con vulsion, the prey of the most powerful neighbour. In Germany causes of a different kind have produced nearly the same result. Had unity of council, and a national feeling of independence and patriotism prevailed through out that extensive and fertile territory, inhabited by people speaking the same language, and hav ing many interests in common, the French would have boasted of fewer victories during the last war, and the different electorates and kingdoms, as well as the empire itself, would have been spared those defeats and devastations which brought them successively under the dominion of NAPOLEON. " Every misfbrtune," it is well observed by a German writer, " that we have i a suffered f or centur i es, may be traced to one whose first ourselvesd ut iris to cause, and th a t i s, t h at we have ceased to consider united exert n o a u t r i ocno common o b n ro e t ff h o e r r t s s , to oppose the common enemy." The sovereigns, and the people too, begin to see the real cause of their weakness, and are cordially joining general effort to break down the b • arriers which so long separated them and rendered them so defenceless against a powerM and unite+. • I people. Prussia began the work ; it has been responded to by Austria ; and the watchword is, using the language of the Archduke JonN, " No Austria; no Prussia ! But one Germany, strong as her mountains." The Commercial League has con. tributed not a little_ to this national movement, but it may be traced to a still greater cause, for which M. TRIERS deserves especial thanks. The mad war cry which he excited two years ago acted like an electric shock on the minds of the Germans, and recalled the sufferings, the insults, the levies of money, and all the horrors of the last war. Writers in French journals added ex citement to the general feeling. They proposed an inroad into Germany, and claimed the Rhine as the natural boundary of France; the Ger mans responded to the threat, patriotic songs were heard in every town, and village, and ham let, along the banks of" their own Rhine," and but one feeling, that of resistance to the French, animated every State. Out of evil, therefore, cometh good; and perhaps no greater good could be conferred on Europe than a general confede ration, which should unite the Saxon race in the heart of Europe, forming a barrier against Rub sia on the north, and a security also against any invasion from France on the west. No event could contribute more to the peace of the world. The Germans are a quiet, industrious, and intelligent people, and w h en f orme d into one compact body, occupying a vast extent of country, and possess ing great nati ona l resources , they . would be .in a position to act their own part, willing to follow THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 13, 1842, assured, by the organs of the party which, fur the public sins, rules over the land, that the only remedy for all the national disorders is Church extension. More Bishops are to put an end to the master manufacturer's cupidity— more rectors and more curates are to fill the heart of the poor man with joy and thankful ness. More Church is to stifle strife, and bind all classes into one family, living in brotherly love. We presume that the means by which these ends are to be wrought may be found sketched—if any where—in Episcopal Charges, and we turned to that of the Bishop of LONDON, to learn from it how the people are to be made good and happy. The Bishop begins by explaining that the Church—the means of healing strife—is rent with " numerous controversies ;" that some amongst the clergy doubt " whether they be the genuine successors of the Apostles," while some of them claim to be " mediators between GOD and man." Nevertheless, their office is very dignified, and they are "ambassadors for CHRIST," very much surpassing, in wealth and power, their own Master. Then the . Bishop implies that some persons want to force an interpretation on some of the Articles of the Church which they will not bear. Next, he openly tuns a tilt against the Puseyites, who are great advocates for pre scribed creeds, and who assert that Scripture cannot be understood without the help of tra dition. He declares that the latter "is not a safe interpreter of Scripture," and that, according to . __ " the Scriptures contain all things out the bent of their natural dispositions, and at the same time prepared to resent any wanton in terference with their independence. The conduct of the . present Government with r.?spect to the Scotch Church, has placed the Non-intrusionists in a sad dilemma. While the Whigs were in office, Dr. CHALMERS and other leaders paid the utmost court to the Tories, .and made it very evident that, if Sir 110DERT PEEL would only accede to their wishes, they would obtain for him a vast increase of political power in the North : but all this gentle dalliance, and all these fair promises, were in vain—the Pre mier remained deaf to their charming, andtbe cold and distant manner which he displayed towards them on thelate Royal visit, has left them no hope but in a determined opposition to his will. The present Government, they say, have faith lessly broken their promises, and deceived the people and Church of Scotland; and they are resolved, therefore, to give that Government and all its supporters the most determined opposition. What party, then, will they support? They cannot with any show of decency fall back upon their old enemies, who not only refused to do anything for them, but wantonly opposed the patriotic Bills of Mr. CAMPBELL and the Duke of ARGYLL. They have no resource now but public sympathy, and that seems also to be de serting their cause. Accounts from Madrid of the 3d inst., state that two propositions had been made in Madrid to the Spanish Minister of Finance—one by M. SALAMANCA, in his own name—the other by M. WEISSWILLER (the agent of the house of ROTHS• CHILD in the Spanish capital), for the loan of 40,000,000 of reals. The former proposed to give 28,000,000 in bills on Paris and London, and the remaining 12,000,000 in Spanish Go vernment securities. The latter (RurnscHlLD, Brothers) offered 30,000,000 in cash, and the balance in securities. The Minister had not yet, however, accepted either tender. A good deal of business was done on the Bourse. The Three per Cents. sold for 21 1-3 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 25 for cash, and 25! 9-16 1-3 for 49,200,000 reals. The Paris papers received possess no poli tical intelligence of importance, but we regret to learn from some of them that great distress be gins to prevail among the trading classes of the capital, and that bunkruptcies were taking place daily. The National states that "during the fiat eight days of the present month more than 60 sales under decrees issued from the Courts of Law had taken place in Paris amongst the corn mercial classes. In this avalanche of commer cial disasters is comprised the celebrated Cafe Anglais, one of the oldest and most celebrated establishments of the metropolis. The extensive as well as small establishments fall. Affairs in general are under the influence of an alarming crisis. Every day are seen new shops closed on account of bankruptcy, particularly in the fashionable quarters." The Journal des Debats announces that the loan of 30,000,000 f. which the Belgian Govern ment was authorised to contract had been con cluded with the Baron JAMES DE ROTHSCHILD, who paid into the Treasury the first instalment of 5,000,000 f. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duke D'Atf- MALE left St. Cloud in the night of the Bth inst. for Brest, where they were to embark for Lisbon. A grand review of • the garrison of Paris was to be shortly held by the Duke DE NEMOURS and the King of the BELGIANS.. Great discontent prevails in the south of France, caused by the diminished sale and also fall in the price of wine. It would appear from some of the journals that the interests of the wine producers in the south and the manufacturers in the north are incompatible. The Siecle admits that great discontent prevails, and adds : " The disobedience to the law, the oblivion of na tionality, and the treasonable menaces of the Borde lais. Such terms are heard, as France of the North and France of the South. People there talk of breaking up the unity of the country, the great work of the constituent assembly. There is an attempt or ganized to refuse to pay taxes, or to pay them but in kind. Some proprietors let their wines be seized rather than pay. The inhabitants of the country round Bordeaux have in this given a most pernicious example. Thera are 600,000,000 f. worth of wine produce. It pays 120,000,000 f. to the revenue, that is, 10,000,000 direct land tax, 88,000,000 indirect tax, and 22,000,000 at the gates of towns for octroi. The wine-owners demand to have 20,000,000 taken off, alleging with truth, that they export less to the best markets of the north now, than they did in 1789, when their taxes were trifling.

In a letter ion Constantinople, of the 21st ult., it is stated that there is every probability of peace being preserved between Turkey and Persia. The Persian army, which was intended for the invasion of Turkey, has not advanced beyond the frontier, and commercial relations have been renewed. The marriage of the Princess Mary of Prussia -with the Prince Royal of Bavaria was celebrated at Berlin on the sth inst. The Royal couple left shortly after wards for Munich, where they were to be married on the 12th, according to the rites of the Catholic Church, in the chapel of All Saints. The King and Queen of Prussia have arrived at Berlin from their journey to Neufchatel. The Russian, English, and Prussian Ambassadors are expected to meet at Vienna, by the time Prince Metternich arrives there. The affairs of Servia will then be the immediate subject of diplomatic confer ences. General Bertrand has just presented to M. Adam, the Mayor of Boulogne, a silver-gilt cup used by Napoleon, and a stone from hi s t om b a t St. Hele na , for the Museum of the town. The Cologne Gazette has the following from the frontiers of Turkey :—" The German journals will speak probably of a conspiracy against King Otho. As no such matter ever took place, it may be as well to declare the real state of the case. Two Greek offi cers of engineers had charged two workmen, em ployed in the construction at the palace, to kill the Bavarian officers belonging t o th e corps f engineers. The plot hiving been discovered, the two officers were arrested, as well as the editor of a newspaper exceed ingly hestile to the Bavarians." A fete took place at Lille on the Bth instant on the occasion of the ceremony of laying the first stone of the monument to be erected in commemoration of the siege of the Austrians in 1792. A grand review took place afterwards, and during the day wine was distributed to the troops of the garrison, 10,000 loaves of bread were given to the poor, an equestrian spec tacle was represented in th e Champ de Mars, and at two o'clock a collation was offered to the National Guards. Mehemet Ali will pass the Ramadan at Cairo, and will not return before April. PUBLIC OPINION. We take the following remarks on Mr. Cobden's late speech at a Manchester meeting from the Times : —" Mr. Cobden has just favoured the world with one speech and two dissertationsa dissertation on the comparative advantages of freedom and restriction in trade, and a dissertation upon the proceedings of the Anti-Corn Law League, the two dissertations toge ther making up the one speech. We do not at all wonder that Mr. Cobden found it necessary to sepa rate the two subjects, for they are doubtless very dis tinct ones. They are as distinct as light from dark ness—as the calm and dispassionate consideration of the means of providing for the subsistence and wel fare of countless multitudes of our fellow-men can be from the turbulent proceedings of a com pany of ignorant and seditious hireling talkers. We believe that Mr. Cobden means well, and his tone is certainly a good deal improved since his last oration ; the episodical tea-parties, and the appeals to middle-class agitation, and your good, quiet sort of mischief-making Dissenting minister, are now omitted there is a good deal more charity towards his oppo nents, the monopolists,' and some apparent belief that a man may sincerely and honestly be mistaken in thinking that a high-pressure system. of Corn-laws is really for the general good ;—we are therefore anxious to separate Mr. Cobden from the rest of the multi tude—to distinguish him from the Aclands and the Smiths, and the other worthies who go about the country for hire, persuading people —to whom the conviction which is to re;ult from such persuasion can possibly do no good, and may do much harm—that they are not so well governed as they ought to be,' and that that misgovernment (which, wherein it consisted they would be puzzled specifically to say, is solely prompted by a designing and selfish spirit of avarice and lust of power." The Herald says, in an article on the subject of the New Poor-law—" Amongst other subjects reserved for inter-sessional consideration by the Cabinet is the New Poor-law, and Sir James Graham promised, when the Legislature consented to prolong for a few years longer the existence of the Central Board of Commissioners located at Somerset House, that such consideration should be most favourable to the objec tions of detail which had been urged against the ex isting provisions of that law. The present position of this question is then this—the Commission is to be con • tinned for other three years, in order to bring about uni formity of system in the administration of the relief of the poor ; but, this accomplished, that B oar d w ill , i n its present sape, at least, be abolished, and that in the meantime every effort shall be made to adapt the new law to the condition of society and the wants of the poor. As this proposed course has met with the de cided approval of the Legislature, —as, notwithstanding many serious objections that have been urged thereto, it is plausible and reasonable in itself—and as the satisqictory. settlement of this question is of such vast importance, we are quite content to let bygones be bygones, to forget the excitement and the exacerba tion of the past, and to join with earnestness and sin cerity in this attempt to produce a law which shall adequately maintain the poor and needy without un necessarily drawing from the pockets of the rate • payers, and which shall produce as much uniformity of administration as is consistent with the varying circumstances of localities." The Chronicle says Although the proceedings of the late Congress at Stutgard have not fully tran • spired, yet upon this point there is no doubt—that it has been resolved by the Zoll-verein to raise the duties on Mousselins de laine, and other manufactures of wool mixed with cotton, from 4/. 10s. to 71. 10s. per cwt., being in the proportion of 40 per cent. I It is impossible to view with indifference this new blow, struck at one of the most important of our manufac turing interests, at a time when those interests are suffering so severely from the effects of the corn monopoly—when the profit of the master has been reduced to little or nothing, and the wages of the workman will barely suffice to pro cure him the necessaries of life—when the alarming deficiency in the Excise revenue indicates a fplAt4'4.l degree of suffering among the pro tinctive classes of thP pe!o, W arc disposed to reproach the Prussian Ifovernment with the pro gress which Germany is making in the false path of commercial restriction, Thc fa 4 Is that the policy of Prussia is quasi liberal, as compared with the wishes of the minor States of the League. Still, it cannot be disguised, that public opinion throughout Germany sets strongly tigi direction of an increase, rather than a diminution of tits protective duties of the Union. Germany:has become a manufacturing coun try, not merely for home consumption ; hut to a considorable extent for exportation. She has pretty well excluded from her markets our cotton and woollen stuffs, the coarser fabrics altogether, and she pursues her restrictive course with a steadi ness of purpose worthy of better designs. Can any man doubt that the time is approaching when th e Zoll-verein will raise the duties on cotton, yarn, and twist ? The German spinning factories are not, it is true, yet able to supply the national darrlalld, but when a nation has once adopted the mischievous prin ciples of protection, who shall limit the point to which those principles will be pushed ? We admit, and de plore, the erroneous course which Prussia and the Confederated States are following ; their tariff is con trary to the best interests of the German people. But we warn the British manufacturer that there is no hope for him. The late partial modification of the British tariff has led to no reciprocal concessions on the part of the Zoll-verein. On the contrary, the first fruits are this increased duty of 40 per cent. on British mixed stuffs, which is now rousing the indignation of the Yorkshire and Lancashire manufacturers," The following remarks on the Revenue are from the Post :—" The remarkable falling off in the Excise revenue is undoubtedly a circumstance which ought to command the earnest attention of the politician. In a Chancellor of the Exchequer's view of the matter, it is an unmixed evil—a dead loss of a very formid able character. They who are charged with the ge neral government of the country must also feel that this evidence of the deteriorated condition of the peo ple is entitled to their most serious consideration. The financial deficiency is but a small part of the sub ject which brings it under review. The people ought not to be subject to such privations as the falling off in the Excise but too plainly indicates. It is neces sary to do something to raise them out of their depressed condition. Is that something within the power and province of legislation and government ? If it be, measures, and bold ones, must be taken to remedy 'the existing evil. If it be not, how is the existing state of society to be maintained ? If our progress in the acquisition of wealth be not a progress from which the great mass of the people de rives benefit, as well as the owners of capital, and if statesmen can do nothing to mend this matter, what security is there ? How can we expect that there will be peace and safety ? Here are grave points to be considered. But the immediate cause of the fall ing off in the consumption of exciseable commodities was probably the late strike. Very well ; but this cause had a cause, and if that previous caus e rema i n, what security is there that the immediate cause of the deficiency—namely, the general strike —may not occur again ? In short, we come to this—that the condition of the people must receive a different sort of attention from that which it has hitherto received, and with some more practically beneficial effect, or the lovers of internal peace, and the owners of property, will be placed in a very critical position." MONEY-TFLADE-COMMERC3O. The new decks at Newport, Monmouthshire, which include, it is said, the largest lock in Europe or Asia, were opened on Tuesday, in the presence of 25,000 per sons. The event was celebrated by a public dinner: The Governors of the Royal Free Hospital for the destitute sick, in Greville-street, h e ld th e i r quar t er l y meeting on iuesday. During this period the number of patients has been 4,914, and the receipts for the same time upwards of 4201. The window duty for the twelve towns which con tribute the largest amount--viz., Liverpool, Bath, i\'&nchester, Bristol, Brighton, Plymouth, Birming ham, Clifton, Leeds, Chelt en h am , N orw i c h, an d New caste-on-Tyne, amounts, by the last return, to 160,7391. A deputation of the hotel-keepers. and licensed vic tuallers at Brighton, presented a memorial to the borough Magistrates on Monday, stating that there were now 103 licensed houses open, and a number of others for the sale of beer : transfers of licenses in con sequence incessantly occur, and the memorialists prayed that, in future, licenses should be refused, ex cept the houses were 300 yards apart ; to which the Magistrates agreed. Many are at present within a few feet of each other. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. A Committee, cons ing of about hfcy Dissenting. - inisters, meet daily, we understand, at the Congre gational Library, in Bloomfield -street, to take mea sures for opposing the Bill of Mr. Mackinnon for the removal of the interment of the dead from towns. They do not object to the closing of many revolting places spoken of, but merely to the closing of those where such objections do not exist, and better re gulations might be effected. - LAIN AND POLICE. Some of the Masters in Chancery are reported as about to retire, on thel. privilege of length of service. A letter-carrier, named William Russell, was charged on Tuesday at Bow. street, with stealing a let ter, containing a sovereign and a half, the property of the Postmaster-General. The prisoner declined say• ing anything in his defence, and was remanded for a week. Matilda Ann Layell, the young lady who was charged on Friday last with being concerned with her brother in uttering a forged bill of exchange for 1001., and for which offence the latter had been transported for seven years, was again brought up for re-exami nation at Lambeth"-street on Tuesday. The evidence given did not establish the charge, and the prisoner was admitted to bail, to appear again on Tuesday. Mr. Daniel Boast, a surgeon, residing in the Bent road, was charged at Union-hall, on Tuesday, with uttering a forged bill of exchange for 341. 16s. The prisoner was held to bail, to answer the charge at the Central Criminal Court. THMATnrcitz. Miss Kenneth, daughter of Mr. Kenneth, the the atrical agent, has lately made her debut in the musical world at Boulogne, and her execution is said to in dicate hopes for the future. Fanny Ellsler has arrived at Vienna, and is as much feted in her own country as she was in the United States. She danced at the Karnthnerthor theatre on the 28th ult. C OURT - PASILIONABLE.

MISCELLANEOUS. An alarming accident befel Sir William Geary, on Thursday last, at Oxonheath, Maidstone. It appears that he tell over a glass-screen, which was broken to pieces, and large fragment of which divided a branch of the carotid artery in his neck. A Swiss present tightly compressed the wound Cll medical aid arrived. The loss .of blood produced entire inanition, and paralysis succeeded. On Sunday, in answer to the frequent inquiries, it is stated only that he had not retrograded. The work of clearing away the wrecks of the Apollo and the tVaterwitch, which were sunk in the Thames about five years since, will be commenced by Captain Fisher, R.N., in May next. Downes, the diver, has already surveyed them for the purposes of explosion. St. Paul's Cathedral has been again re-opened to the public, after having undergone a thorough cleansing.

IMPORTANT INFORM AVON TO MARINERS. —DIREC TIONS TOR ENTERING SWAN RIVER.—A letter has been received at Lloyd's from Captain David Dring, of the Janet, calling attention to the number of vessels lost at Swan River, which he attributes to the imper fect directions given by certain parties, and to its not being generally known that a clear passage channel fOr tlnterlng exists between Rottenesh and the Main. He observes that, under the existing custom com manders of wasels pay a heavy pilotage for unneces sary services, and that it is not until after a ship is clear of all dangers that she is boarded by a pilot, and that a vessel to the northward of a patch of sand, 04110(1. The Winding Sheet," i s f our m i les i nside of all dangers. He concludes by stating that the clear channel through Nhich he has passed for the space-of ten years, between Rottenesh and the Main, is about nine miles wide, void of danger, whereas the more intricate passages do not exceed a quarter of a mile in width. RAILWAY TRAIN A THIRD OF A MILE IN LENGTH. —The longest railway passenger train we ever heard of went along the Slammanna n an d cont i guous lines on the day when her Majesty passed through Lin lithgow. That town formed a convenient rendez vous for the inhabitants of the populous towns and villages in the upper ward of Lanarkshire, who ac cordingly availed themselves in great numbers of the facilities placed at their disposal by the Railway Companies. In the course of the morning trains from Wishaw, Coatbridge, &c., arrived with - cro w d s of pass engers at Rawyards, where the Slamanna n Company were prov id e d with' their own and the Garn kirk carriages, besides all the coal-waggons which were fitted with malleable iron wheels. The first train that started for the eastern terminus consisted of about 90 carriages, waggons, &c., full of people, hauled by two engines, and assisted up to the head of the Ballochney Railway by four additional en. gines. Two other trains, one of 40 carriages, sup ceeded at intervals in the forewent' and the whole of the pasengers were landed in safety at the east end by twelve &clock, and were thus enabled to be in Linlithgow two hours before the Royal party ar rived. The Managers of the Slamannan, Ballochney, and Wishaw linen, then consulted as to the best method of getting the people home, and resolved with the view of obviating all risk of collision by separate trains, to send all the passengers west in one train. The return train consisted of 110 car riages and waggons, which were filled by about 1,500 people. The train, which was a b out one-third of a mile in length, started at fi ve o'clock, drawn by four engines, and propelled by one; and the pas sengers were all landed, without the slightest acci dent having occurred, at their respective stations in the course of the evening. We doubt very much whether a similar feat has ever been performed on any railway in the kingd om ,. a l t h ough this is not a regular passenger line ; and yet it is nothing to what might be achieved in a case of emergency by th 3 London and Birmingham Railway Company, whi&l has between 90 and 100 engines, and a proportionate, number of carriages. --Scottish Guardian.
