From time immemorial Linseed has been proverbial for its virtues in the cure of Coughs and Colds ; but previous to the discovery of the present Chemical Essence, it was merely used in the form of tea, and its benefit comparatively limited. This Essence contains All the medicinal properties of Linseed in a highly concentrated form, combined with other medicinal% a nd herbs, producing the most certain and efficacious reMedy for Coughs which has yet been discovered. Children's Coughs ; as recent ones in Adults, will be re moved by a few doses of Rimco's Essence, of Linseed (frequently by the first); old standing Chronic Coughs may require per severance, but they ultimately yield to its curative powers. Asthmatic persons, who previously had not'been able to lie down in bed, haze received the utmost benefit, and others suf fering from Influenza have been speedily cared by this valuable medicine. sible objection can the " country" make to so harmless a proposal, when it " expends" already and habitually an indefinite nuniber of millions per annum ? All " we " want is to appropriate a trifling portion of this enormous existing ex penditure ; such an application will of course rob nobody. But to proceed—s" a certain sum of.mo uey—say 50,0001.;" SAY 50,9001.! How deli cate the allusion to a certain other rint ! How forcible the hint of the purposes to which both may be applied. " I,ooo—say 1,0001.," was the price of a well-known Irish borough ; the 50,0001.—sag 50,000/., will, therefore, pur chase just fifty Engli s h or Scotch seats at the same price. " This 50,000/.," the Chairman con tinues, "is just 1,000,000 shillings—just a half penny per head f rom the whole population." "The 2,000,00(1 of people" (query, names and marks; and how many people such names and marks represented?) "who petitioned Parlia ment last session can easily 'raise this sum. The 50,000/. then will' be obtained." We fear this will prove a-most lame and impotent conclu sion. Two millions of people can subscribe, IF they have got it to spare, sixpence each. No doubt of it :—but•whether, taking them one with anotheeTtlf - erhave at '46 i;pare, or, having to spare, will afford to pay,: these same visionary sixpences, is a very differentquestion. However, we are not left to this infallible arithmetic only for support .to our conclusions. The' follow ing powerful organization is morally certain to insure that suocess which, as we have seen, admits not of mathematical demonstration. First, there are to be missionary agents to every elector through the country —with, not merely a pamphlet or tracts, but a little library of infor mation ! Secondly, collecteis are to be commis sioned with beautifully engraved subscription cards, each having a duplicate. Thirdly, we are to have the ladies, Lord Radnor, and Mr. Vil liers. But we should not do justice•to this part of the scheme, unless we quoted the Chairman's rersion of it entire : "We know the unwearied eNertions made by the ladies during [the bazaar—(4plause)—but . in a scheme like this we dare not overlook the cl a ims our cause has upon them, even on this occasion. We have, therefore; devised, more especially fur there as sistance, a handsome and beautifully-engraved card, which .will b 3 placed in the hands of any lady anxious to fill one. [The Chairman here exhibited a card about ten inches by 7 inches, with an exquisitely de.. signed border.] It is headed by PQrtr4if aphe Bart of Rqdmtr. (me one of 'our leading friends in the House of Lords ; and on the other is a portrait of Mr. Villiers, the leader of our question in the House of Commons." Lastly, there are to be . maps, Dissenting mi nister4l tClasPAltties, nri operatives. "We look to every operative, e v e ry minister (of whate ver denomination), and every philanthropist ! Under these auspices, of course the ririt 3 is safe, We can imagine tha glee with which "every elector" will welcome the "condensed missionary library " which is to be so munifi cently bestowed upon him; how he will gbay devour the close columns of small owilibethlook. lug. printing whinli is thiN tole thrust upon him, and how he will forthwith, on the perusal, come down with the price of the library, aod sixpence besides, towards the " riot," as a sort of specu lation which he may safely venture upon—a l -vox-- periment towards procuring a NI in the price of provisions, Just as other "missionary" tracts procure other, and not very different or much less foolish, p e c u nia r y specu lations. But m ore than all, we re l y on t h e " ladies," the female leaguers, arme d eac h w i t h h er Midas pict ure o f Lord Radn or an d M r . Villj em whieh is to turn every thing it touches into gold. C EIRONICLE.—Never d:d a pack of ravenous and rabid dogs fling themselves upon a bone with more savage and can i ne d e light than the French journals o n Iprd. Aberdeen's letter to the Lords of the Admiralty. This letter proved that all their complaints were well founded. If the extravagant rumours of depots. sacked, ex-go veraor's daughter shot, and whole coasts ravaged were true, then, of course ; all the outrages upon French vessels must be true. The British navy and its officers are nothing but a nest and a horde something that gives s ome semblance to such a calumny, but he proclaims it t o Europe. And Europe is delighted, delighted at the condemna tion by a British Mi n i ster, of the f i rst f orc l n at least hitherto, in the world, b ot h i n a , enoeal and physical sense. 'B u t L or d Aberdeen h as under taken to destroy at l east t h e moral gran d eur an d superiority of the Briti s h navy. Even h a d h e thought that the orders given by, a Minister zealous for the extirpati on and executed with activity and vigour, required some modification to parade this to the world— in the way Lord Aberdeen has done—shame, shame ! If every act, liable misrepresenta tion,oftoeslatrade, which passes on board ships, or in our armies, or M. administrations, were published, and not only one's own country, but the rest of the world called on to join in the condemnation, how could honourable men and - honourable ser vices bear such humiliation ? But the Tories have but one wish, and that is, to bring down English trade, English character, and English supremacy, to a level with their own chicken eenctorl Lord to America to ession of every Ame epssefaceTtyeyths a r cr hoseted Ame rican demand. They are about to give up to the French the treaties of 1831 and 1833, and they wish to throw the blame of such weakness from off themselves, and on the British navy. It is the first time that the character of our officers was sacrificed in order to cover acts of diplomatic pusillanimity. In the same way Affghanistan is to be left to its triumphs. And why ? Because the British army, or a detachment ,pf it, were falsely accused of having committed such excesses at a village in the mountain, that there would be danger in trusting the disorderly rabble of our army at Caubul. Thus do the Tories mistrust every ele ment of English force and English character. Now it is the army, now the navy, then the country itself. Right is ceded after right, claim after claim, and the only mode taken for render ing the British lion secure, 'is to shear off his mane and. claws, tell the world how ferocious he was and how ill-behaved, but that now under his present keepers he is well-caged and nowise to be feared.—Such is the policy of Lord Aberdeen. GLOBE.—The Post continte to publish in stances of the annoyaneeS and injuries inflicted on her Majesty's subjects by the measures of her Majesty's Ministers. The facts on which our Contemporary's strictures are founded—and by which they are fully supported and j doubtless sent for insertion inkhis columns for two special reasons. The first is, that the Post being the most devoted of the journals which profess to support the Government, nosuspicion can po3sibly arise in the public mind as to the integrity of the statements. The organ of the Ministry wou ld not. evidence, except upon unquestionable Vid condemn thegrand financial measure of the Mi n i stry ; is the conclusion to which all vho read will almost instinctively arrive. :The second is, that as the Premier and his colleagues read (as matter of course) the journals w hi c h profess to support their policy, they may therein see that the IneOrne- Tax, on which they professed to base theirclaims to national confidence, is really ic too bad" to be endured by any portion of the comm un ity. Whigs and Tories—the entire mass of the people, without respect to creed or party—unite in con demning both its spirit and its tendency—its. principle and its details. The impost, becaus e o f i ts unequal and oppressive exaction; - -its operation because of the trouble and vexation it infliets by its requisitions; the odious scrutiny it institutes into the private affairs of individuals —matters concerning which no Government, in a free country, has a right to demand a disclosure; and the insults to which individuals who m a.) ., be made the subjects of surcharge are exposed by the ignorant and unmannerly officials to whom, in many places, the working o f the machinery of the measure has been committed. . Sir Robert Peel may thus plainly see in the, concurring testimony of the different journals—however opposite their views on other questions—that the nation is unanimous in condemning his grand financial expedient. There is at least one common ground Which. Ministerial and Opposition organs agree to occupy : they vie"with each other in denounc ing the Income-tax—as unjustifiable in prin• ciple or as insupportable in operation. The blister-plaister" is bringing down anathemas upon the head of the physician ; even the a low diet" which accompanies the drawing process of the tax, increases the irritation ! Not con tent with requiring that every individual should make " a fair and honest return of his income," in order to an assessment being made upon him for the purposes of . Act, the . Tax-office agents--fortified by the hungling phraseology or the Act—require him to " furnish returns in this, that, or the other place, in which the assessor may prefer that th e return should be made." In exemplication of this capricious mode of dealing with—the Post calls it "tormenting" —her Majesty's subjects, our Contemporary and able coadjutor, in exposing and denouncing this atrocious experiment upon the powers of en durance possessed by Luglhmen, mentions the following as a numerous class of the annoyances to which they are subjected by a Tory Govern ment : " Let us suppose A. B. to have been served in the month of August, at his dwelling-house, with a paper commanding him to make a return of his income in a certain way which that paper p o i n t s ou t, an d to do so before the 20th of the month. He complies to the very letter with this direction, and honestly returns all his income as directed by that paper. After he has made his just and fair return, another notice is served upon hint in another place to make a return. He an swers that his return is already made, and he states where. He therefore has nothing further to return. This happens in August.. In October the assessor of the district in which he declined to make a second re turn, sends him a message that he must make his re turn within that district, although he has made it long ago in another, and has doubtless been assessed ac cordingly." We add our testimony to that of the Post, and assure our readers that " this is no supposed case, but an actual case. It is no isolated case, but a case of which we are in a condition to f urn i s h a formidable plurality of instances to any person in authority who may demand them." The course we recommend in such cases is, to pay no atten tion to the second or third " notice-paper." Having made a " fair and honest return of in come," in compliance with the first notice, abide by it; pay the district collector upon it; and having taken his receipt, produce it, in proof that the amount claimed by the Government has been satisfied. STANDARD.—A private letter has reached us from Cape Town, along with a file. of news-. papers of the sth of August. They are filled with complaints of the conduct of Colonel Cloete in having given a free pardon to the Boers be fore he had secured the return of their prisoners; but no such stipulation was of course neces sary ; and, a 3 for the conciliatory eoaduct he has displayed, we have no reason whatever to question its propriety. The sooner such a dipposition is evinced under such ehAeumstances, the more graco ful the coneession; and that the Dutch emigrants hod much reasonable ground of complaint cannot be doubted. Under proper manilgement, they will, we doubt not, tun out, excellent subjects. We do not, however, Wonder at the .exaspera tien which preVans in the colony against the Insurgents. The conciliatory conduct of Colonel C:oete towards the rebels has been, we doubt not, in accordance with his instructions, and had he received no such instructions, it would have been precisely the course sug gested by the• circumstances of the case. Hav ing suppressed the insurgents, the Bri tish representative may afford to display a more decidedly conciliatory policy towards them than would have been wise under other circumstances. It appears that the termination of the dispute is not ill-timed, for that the Dutch emigrants from all parts of the country were marching to the assistance of their countrymen. Since writing the above, we have received the South African Advertiser of the Gth, which announces the re turn of a portion of the troops under the com mand of Colonel Cloete, and the total submission of the BOON, who hall released the whole of their prisoners; whether soldiers 'or civilians. should interfere to disturb the present calm in the hemisphere,political it is b ory n ino in the apparent eapipmaorerobntaqbe thatul ietneie quietness of affairs at home, Chancellor of the Exchequer may find himself in a situation to carry out a conversion of the Reduced Three-and-a-Hall per Cent.

By operations of that description, the annual charge has, on previous occasions, been lessened by the smirof 2,355,84G1. per annum.

A few extracts are given : " My purpose of writing to you is to put you in possession of a knowledge of the condition of Ameri can credit in Europe, with a suggestion of the indis pensable necessity of our doing something at hoine to meet the truly alarming crisis which this state of things presents." "Without defending the profuse confidence with which the English capitalists lent their money during the years 1830 t 0,1840, the writer proceeds to say— " They did this, however, out of Vie excess of a virtue which may have been pushed to the extent of rather an amiable than criminal I, ..eakness, for they generally made these loans - at a 'less rate than they • could be effected at, if at all, at b an te , and apparently for objects of great public utility, "This confidence was t ? "'iver, to our young country, because our resources (in no degree exae•gerated) faa ieca were considered immense, a - • ' use it was thought as we are of th e S axon ~ , • family, we are essentially a debt-paying people. "You will say, ' I am sure this facility . of barrow.: ing has been a great curse to us.' This I admit to be true to a certair a curse by th e no extent ; but it was converted into of the Ur _ion of our Government on the cur rency'.ited States. Under judicious regula tions and PrO . .ential guards, a state of things more propitious to the development of the resources of a young contatry, like ours, borrowing of an old one its capital to invigorate its labour at a low rate of inte rest can' aot well be conceived. , " 13 e .t if you consider this faculty of borrowing apr°2 l ,l to be as an evil, you may certainly console your self with the conviction that it no longer exists, alts tough I am equally convinced you will regret the er .use which has produced this want of all confidence I.n the faith of the people of the United States, and the , consequences which have followed in fixing so severe a stigma on the character of our country. It is ab surd for us to talk in America that we do not want the capital of Europe, at the very moment when the General Government of the States have sent an ag ent abroad to borrow for its daily bread . . . • _ the " Let me now give you a brief statement of present condition of American credit in Europe, and Nvithout presuming to suggest a remedy, to inquire of you whether the force of public opinion do anything)(if Congress has not the constitutional competency to the defaulting acting through the Legislatures i States, cannot be made sufficiently potent to convince them of the truth and force of the old adage, that, `honesty' is the best policy.' after all, in the long run, The first branch of my subject I can discuss in a very few words. As our old friend Randolph used to say, American credit is killed 'stone dead.' Joha J. Aston might obtain art uncovered credit for a reasonable amount (where he was known) ; and Mr. Bates, of the hottm of Baring;, by we ar i ng out a pair of shoes in walking from the Mansion house to the Minories, might sell fift een h undred pounds worth of Massachusetts stock, with hirge con cessions to the buyer. The fact is not to be concealed that we begin to be regar t l e d as a nation of sharpers and swindlers, with whom, if the day of judgment should happen to be Monday, our pay-d ay ° „ill not be until the Tuesd a y following.

The chair was ably filled by E. Eagleton, Esq., su p por t e d on hi s right and left by gentlemen of the Common Council; there were also present several gentlemen connected with the chief leading houses in the City, together with a number of commercial travellers. The deputy chair was. filled by Mr. Walker, representative of one of the largest houses in the Manchester trade in the City. The room, which is considered second best in London, was well filled. Mr. Ransford and party were present, and sang several songs and glees. After the usual toasts had been gone through, the Chair man, in a very appropriate speech, extolled the excel lent manner in which the house was conducted. Mr. "Walker, the deputy, also said, as a commercial house, it was known throughout the three kingdoms, and patronised by more commercial travellers than any other house in London. He proposed that in f u t ure it be called the "Travellers' Hall." The &nor was well arranged, the wines excellent, and every thing went off harmoniously. Nearly 200 sat down to dinner. MONEY MAR,KET and NEWS. FROM TUE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.- HERALD.—Two i m p or t an t steps h ave been gained towards the pr o j ec t e d a l terat i on i n the hours for business, in comm enc i ng 'Ch ange ear li er, accord- ' ing to the recommendation of the Committee, and making new regulations for public sales in the pro duce iniirket; the success of the former, however, greatly depending upon the latter. The plan adopted in Mincing-lane for bringing goods to auction has long been considered by all interested to be such as to require revision. It frequently happens that these sales are so numerous as wholly to preclude'buyers from examining the samples in the short space of time allotted for the purpose, or to allow attendance at some of their, because to get through them by "'Change time," two and sometimes more brokers are selling similar produce at one time in different parts of the market. This was also done with regard to drug sales, until that trade resolved that they would attend but every alternate Thursday, and then only provided a catalogue was sent in time sufficient to allow them to devote the entire of Wednesday to going over the various articles. • These regula tions have been found to work well, and might be applied to other goods with equal benefit as to saving time. It is stated that coffee, sugar, &c., might be shown the day before the sales, which, if they commenced at ten o'clock, as was the case when the East India Company existed, would terminate long before two; the intervening time be tween that hour and 'Change; would then be devoted to making arrangements for theucceeding day. The great cause of this bustle is thAxtreme hurry with which importers force their consignments forward ; it being of not unfrequent occurrence for goods to be printed in catalogues before they be landed - from the ship, and an every-day one for the advertisement of the sale to appear immediately upon the arrival off the coast. An instance is on record of a large parcel of goods being announced for sale in a fortnight from the time when it had been ascertained the vessels in which they were had sailed from St. Helena. This hurry is productive also of the inconvenience of pre venting purchasers from obtaining the delivery of the goods for some-time after the sale, in consequence of the impossibility of performing the necessary prelimi nary operations; and if the regulations be to be fully carried out, it is the buyers who apparently will have to do it by steadily and firmly refusing to look at goods which are not in a state for shipment when offered. It is said that more time is lost by the clerks of foreign merchants in running backward and for ward for warrants which are not ready, as well as by those of the sellers to the docks to expedite the pre paration of these indispensible documents, when a delay of three or four days in bringing the goods to sale would have obviated all this bustle and unneces sary trouble. --- CA UTION.-MECHI'S MAGIC STROP.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—A Correspondent, referring to our late remarks on the preliminary measures for the collection of the Income-tax, asks us, bluntly "enough, " what we would do ?" for, quoth he, " this, remember, is not a tax which works itself, like an iiripost which is added to the price of articles of consumption. This is a tax which must be exacted with strictness, or else it will be evaded, and therefore unproductive. It is not possible to put it into execution t without strict. inquiries, and if you object to, this strictness, it comes. to the same thing as if you objected that any such tax should exist." Our answer to this is, that, havi ng a d m itt e d the necess i ty for the tax, we do not object to any strictness of inquiry which may be necessary for carrying it into effect. What we object to is that there should be any thing palpably rude, peremptory, or stupid, in the conduct of those whose business it is to ob. taro the returns preliminary to assessment. We would have the taxing-man, or assessors, or whatever they are called, strictly commanded by their superiors to do their duty carefully, but re spectfully, and to be in all cases much more ready to explain tleAn to insist. We would have these persons informed that all which the Tax office requires is, that every individual should give in a fair and honest return of his income, and that, if he have done that, he is to be no more tormented with peremptory orders to fur nish other returns in this, or that, or the other place, in which the assessor may prefer that the return should be made. Let us suppose A. B. to have been served in the month of August, at his dwelling-house, with a paper commanding him to make a return of his income in a certain way which that paper points out, and to do so be fore the 20th of the-month. He complies to the very letter with this direction, and honestly re turns all his income as directed by that paper. After he has made his justand fair return, anot her notice is served upon him in another place to make a return. He answers that his return is already made, and he states where. He therefore has nothing further to return. This happens in August. In October the assessor of the district in which he declined to make a second return, sends him a vnessage that he must make his re turn within that district, although he has made it long ago in another, and has doubtless been assessed accordingly. Now, this is no supposed case, but an actual care. It is no isolated case, but a case of which we are in a condition to fur nish a formidable plurality of instances to any person in authority who may demand them: We ask why her Majesty'ssubjects should be subjected to this worry atter they have honestly complied with the directions furnished, and have long ago given in fair and true returns. Is it not stupid, as well as insolent and oppressive, to demand more than is necessary for the purpose of imposing the tax ? Is it not enough if the individual to be taxed complies at once, fully and faithfully, with the di rections served upon him, but that after having done so, and after distinctly stating he has done so, with all particularS, in order that the fact may be ascertained he is still to be worried and tor mented by peremptory and most uncivil de mands ? It is no limit of his if the demand with winch he first complied ought not to have been made where it was made. It is very probabl e , and almost certain, that if h e ma d e two returns of of the same income, he would be twice assessed, and ordered very decisively to pay in both' places, with the privilege, indeed, of appealing, to get back what never ought to have been taken. The only safe course then, we presume, for any man who has made one fair return of his income is to ref use to make another in another .place: whatever may be the insolence with which it is demanded. We are sure that the Commissioners can never countenance the attempts of inferior persons to give needless annoyance to those from whom the tax is to be collected, and we think it would be well if they interfered beforehand to prevent such annoyance from being given. TIMES--Ecce iterum Crispinus Mr. Cob den —no, not Mr. Cobden—we beg his pardon— but Mr. Cobden's Repeal Fund—his 50,0001. in posse—has again made its appearance. And this time we are . favoured with particulars,; we. are shown how this new " riot" is to be assessed, by what process it is to be levied, and by what infal lible arithmetic its sum total is to be guaranteed. " We propose," says the Chairman of the Anti- Corn Law League, " to call upon the " countu to expend a certain sum of money." What pos. OIIRONICLE.—We had occasion to draw atten tion yesterday to the constant advance in the Eng lish Funds, the immediate cause of which we stated to be the abundance of money, and the absence of de mand for commercial investment, which forced the monied interests .to seek employment for capital in the public Stocks, owing to the extremely low rate of interest allowed on commercial paper. Money, in fact is readily offered on bills due in 1842 at 2 per cent., and on those at maturity in all January, 1843, at something like one-eighth per cent. beyond this';, very low rate of accommodation. This extreu Le cheapness of money in the London Money Marl ;et has not been equalled for several years, and attrp ,cts general observation. Its influence upon pu .blic credit calls for comment as exemplified in the high price of Consols, which are last quoted this day at 931 to for Account, and 931 sellers for 3."Loney, with every appearance of a further advanr.y.:. The public will not touch anything Americar., and do very little either in Foreign Bonds. Corr Lola are the channel by which they get rid of their •xnemployed money, and hence the question arises, t( . 5 what figure will they rise ? There really seems no good ground to say that they may not advance 2 fir 3 per cent. beyond the present price, unless sow: unforeseen event should come off to shake public lionfidence. To day there have been several extensive: p - irchases made on account of the Scotch banks, as - we'Ll as on private account, and the Government broker will in all pro•. bability appar at intervals as a ft , ,rther buyer on ac count of the East India Company. By the Act 3d and 4th Will. IV., c. 85, dated 2 8th August, 1833, it was determined that the Compa . ay's trading privileges should cease from the 22d AF,ril, 1834, and that the Government at the Indian ter titories should be con tinued to the Company until 30th of April, 1834. The same Act directed the commercial assets of the Company to he assigned to Government for the pur pose of discharging the territorial debt, and that the sum of 2,000,0001. should be invested in the p t itli c funds, as a guarantee for the redemption of the capital stock of the Company. The dividends on that amount of stock are 600,000/. per annum, and the half of that sum, being the dividends for the last six months, amounting to 300,0001., are in course of being re-invested in Government securities. This, we believe, is the 'real character of the recent opera tions of the Government broker, and if he has not completed them, the market will receive still further support from that quarter.

Had the Commissioners con ducted the inquiry with more circumspection instead of. listening exclusively to one witness, that would have entitled it at least to some degree of attention but when it was known that they had prin cipally relied on the testimony of one who might have an' interest in criininatim , ° others for the sake of self protection, it became obviously unfair, if not cruel,-to state the various facts which were talked of in the City, implicating by name a great number of persons employed in'the Customliouse. It would hive. been very- easy top a column or two daily with reports and conjectures ' every one of w hi c h m i g ht, for a ught we knew, have destroyed the character of an innocent per son ; for public opinicin runs so strong against all those who are similarly placed, that the mere mention of the various suspenions and dismissali that were talked of, though the parties afterwards had been t'ci:lv cleared, mig h t h ave injured them past remedy. In l'act, the very, circumstance that the proceedings of the Commissioners of the Customs have given so much dissatisfattion at the Traasury as to cause the investigation to be taken out of their hands, alone proves the propriety- of the course we have adopted. As ex parte charges are always carefully abstained from by the respectable portion of the public Press, there'Feetns no reason why the Custom-house should form an exception to such a rule for the mere gratifi cation of curiosity. The vigilance which has of late been awakened among the creditors of Buenos Ayres, gives every reason:to believe thatif the obligations of that State are not fulfilled, they .will not at any rate be suffered to fall into that total oblivion in which they have remained for some years past. Finding their in terests neglected by the contractors, there is every sign that the creditors are putting their shoulders to the wheel, and that is at least one step towards ob taining justice. One, of them writes to know if Monte Video belonged to the La Plata provinces at the time the loan was contracted, viz., in 1824, rightly con ceiving that it will be a great boon to the creditors if they prove that a place of such commercial importance is liable to the debt. The question is not very easily answered, and is well worth investigation. Monte Video is the chief town of he province Banda Oriental, and as such belonged to the Vice-royalty of Buenos Ayres when under the dominion of Spain. In 1810 it declared itself independent, and the Spanish troops were driven out in 1814. Shortly afterwards the Por tuguese took possession of the town and province, and in 1821 Monte Video, by an ...Incorporation Act, leclared itself subject to Portugal and Brazil. On the separation of Brazil from Portugal, the Brazilians besieged Monte Video, and forced the Portuguese to surrender in 1823. The inhabit- • ants were averse to- a junction with Brazil, but they nevertheless were filmed to agree to a new In corporation Act. The La Plata or Argentine Republic then claimed Monte Video, and in 1825 it was named in Congress as a part of that union. It was not till 1829 that it waspermanentlx - declared independent. The year 1824, therefore, was • one in which Monte Video was claimed both by Brazil and Portugal, and herein consists the difficulty of a speedy solution of our corresp , mdent's:question. At a timber sale which was held at Garraway's yesterday evening, the attention of the parties who attended was called to the recent meeting held at the London Tavern, respecting the alteration in 'Change hours. • Mr. SimpSon, who at that meeting had pro posed- half-past four as the closing time, seeing that there was every chanc e th a t the alteration to three o'clock would take place, informed the trade on that occasion, that his firm would name an earlier hour for the commencement of the next public sale. The no tice was received with approbation. The West London Railway shareholders have, it appears, so far arranged among themselves to sup port the undertaking, that the greater portion of the preferential shares are subscribed for, and therefore this undertaking, which has for a long while past remained in abeyance, in consequence of the apathy of the late Directors,. will now be proceeded with to completion. The meeting held yesterday stipu lated the manner in which the overplus of shares not taken by theoriginal holders, should be offered to the public, and settled other matters connected with the future management.of the railway. Of the handsome conduct of the creditors, who have agreed to compound their . debrs by the acceptance of shares, he most honourable mention was made, and the eon: ideuce they have reposed in the present directiy will, in . some degree, - give a character and stimulus to increased exertions. .As it is only by greo economy and prudent forethought this concern criti be carried out, it behoves the parties lately called into power to exercise that vigilance which will not allow a second relapse. Many complaints are received of the annoyance , the Greenwich Railway passengers have to put up with, both from the increase of the fares, and the bad accommodation provided. The Irtters Aldressed assert, that, notwithstanding the charge for the se cond class conveyance has been raised to 3d., the seats formerly allowed have been removed, and the public are consequently obliged to take tfie alterna tive of standing or pay the shilling fare for the first class carriages. People are certainly not blind to the intention of those conducting this railway, which, of course, is to force all who wish better accommodatio info the conveyance where a higher fare is charged; and as they have the opportunity of nearly as quick a passage to London by the omnibuses, which save the walk to the terminus, and come into C racechurch-street, and by the steamers, which laud their customers at the Middlesex side of Thames at a lower rate, they will not be slow in taking the advantages offered. The traffic of the railway shows a decline, and nothing else could be expected, when it is seen how sedulously the Directors work for their own downfal. The return of traffic of the South- Eastern Railway for the week is stated at 1,4891. A Government contract has just been announced, which must prove acceptable to the Yorkshire manu facturers and artisans at this very dull season of the year. It is for 120,000 yards of baise and serge for the use of her Majesty's navy. The contract is also to comprise a very large quantity of worsted and other clothing. If appearances are to be believed, the Government are resolved to have most ample supplies for the use of both services, as contracts for all de scriptions of stores and clothing have of late followed eacli other more closely than at any time, unless at periods when the country was embroiled in a conti nental war. Life AND ITS N E I GHBOURHOOD . Bad in London and Chronicler of all Sporting events. —Mr. Clement has reason to believe that the substi tution of another newspaper for Bell's Life in London, by an unprincipled fellow in the vicinity of Manches ter, has recently taken place, and in mane instances. Mr. Clement recommends persons who may have been thus disappointed, in having another Journal foisted upon them, to refuse payment, and order Bell's Life in London from another Newspaper Agent or Post- . man, of which there are several most respectable in Manchester. Any communication connected with this dishonest transaction, by which legal mea sures may be taken against the offending party, will be thankfully received and acknowledged by 3r.

Y ou may imagine the consternation of the native _gentlemen at this innovation, • The civilians dislike his Lordship because he has treated them rather cavalierly, giving many a good wigging for what he thought a neglect of duty, and offending some of the great secretaries by calliy,them clerks to their faces. One of them said to hum, "My Lord, [ there are no clerks present.' His .Lordship replied, `. What do you call yourself ?' The answer was, ' A secretary." 01,,' said his Lordship, 'it is all the same :' However, he might have been more polite to the ladies of Calcutta than to say (which he did when Lord Auckland mentioned to him that he gave weekly parties), that he could not be troubled with a pack of trumpery women every week. We hear he has been more gay and polite up the country. He only gave one ball in Calcutta, the party not very numerous. Fife Herald.
