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 th an o f men acquainted with the af fairs of the world. Hence it happens, that while Members of ParliaMent, and editors of public journals, exhibit an i nt i ma t e a cquaintance with h ritings of antiquity, and are not deficient in a knowledge of theological controversy, they are very ill example, we found inform the on matters of trade. For all t ra d e as one of yesterday describ inge i f " pounds, shillings, and pence," and stigmatizingz' it as "the l ove again," which seems t o us , for an Englishman—the great ness of whose country mainly depends on her commerce, which l e d t h e way to the ac qu i s i t i on of the most splendid empire she unworthy has acquired— to be a most narrow It is such an idea of trade st a .ud r 3T n iZ might be expected to form against the Homilies of the Church _, avarice, combined with the history of the stock E x _ change; but totally different from the id ea 4 ry e form of trade, from observing that it is based O " the wants of mankind, on great natural diversi ties orsoil, climate, and disposition. that the " love of gain" is only the immediate impelling motive, and that it contributes at once to the t bodily welfare, to the mental improvement, and e moral perfection of our species. Mr. Co n - DE \, in his late speech at Manchester, had said, truly and el oquently,— You cannot succeed in the glorious struggle in which we are engaged, without carrying the benefits of your triumph into every corner of the globe. Why, prin c ipl es you have the peace at once established throughout the world ; o f the earth together y ou by the cement,. you knit the nateon.s• principles of free trade.' Away with all idea of war between ) two countries that shall be as free to exchange favours between each other, as two of our English counties. Away with all the trouble and all the vexation of str diplomacy, e , t,nud when a man shall sit clown itt Downing-issuing his protocols_ mere trial of dexterity . betiVe .Y nister in Paris an 1 a Minister in London--When two men can so sit down, and involve two great nationsn all the horrors of war—away with all such absurdities n as those, when we have two countries united, as they- 1 ' • I 4.1,1t0 - • _ Nfk_sl:t °Mk • Air s Nr.41:4": AVell6,2*, 42 1101. " 4 r,r , tyt --zatit, will be by their mutual interests, and when every merchant's counting-house, and every manufacturer's office, become the centre of a system of diplomacy, which shall bind men in peace, in spite of all the ef forts of statesmen to embroil them in war. assured, by the organs of the party which, for r 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 he " mediators between Goy and man." Nevertheless, their office is very dignified, and they are " ambassadors fbr 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 Church, " the Scriptures contain all things necessary to salvation." 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 " 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. So 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 he ‘' 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 fbi• 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 new-born 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, and 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 plices in the morning and in their gowns in the afternoon." In conclusiou, the Bishop threw in a recommendation to charity, as a make-weight, and exhorted the clergy, whose controversies he had been exciting, to be of one heart and one mind. On this our Contemporary remarks : Now here, as it seems to us, is the difficulty. 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 :Lllr. Cobden's L topia 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 forward 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 food, 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 sible, 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 of those counties were as much strangers to each other as the inhabitants of Lancashire and the State of New York. Now they are so united that it seems an impossibility 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 from 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 he 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 which burdens all our manufactures with new duties on their arrival in America, there exists a traffic between the two countries which in value, imports and exports together, is not less than 20,000,0001. 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. We have given an abstractof 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 un 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. 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 fine 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 th ey will, probably, fly off to their customary phraseology, and speak of national interests and the sublime truths of religion and science as the proper guides for statesmen. Let us plead for the common wants of our common nature. Let us respectfully remind them that to ensure sub sistence is, or ought to be, the first and chief aim of all social institutions; that the warrior should draw his sword only to protect the husbandman, and the lawyer should plead but to defend his Itiigohstes.whTo impugn To give security to industry, while it provides for o u rwants, is the one great end and aim of all political contrivances. Let us remind leisure the natural wants of man, that 'at those vu hr ar wants must b e t 7:ratified, and that it is only when they are gratified that and refinement come. Let us add, that to gratify them, the clev er t o il o f the husband man, the wonderful ingenuity of the manufac turer, the bravery of the seaman, and, the skill of th e art i st, are all called into being, and that in exercising, their various arts th e y adorn and ennoble human nature. Let us further add, that it is by e a n d supplying mutual wants that' men a j r u e tu n ar r d e e s p et mutually dependent, and taught mutu a l kindness. The trade, w hich is has.ed on - sup • Pqmg men with food and clothing, is one great source of civilization and moral improvement.

We are THE SUN, LONDON ) THURSDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 13, 1P42 PULMONARY .CONSUMPTION. Mr. Cronin, Surgeon to the Dispensary for Asthma, Consumption, and Diseases of the Heart, Liverpool, at the Portico in that town, delivered lately a most impor tant and highly interesting lecture on the cause and cure of Pulmonary Consumption. In the course of his intro duction Mr. Cronin observed that over 55,000 perish an nually in this country of consumption ; that it was on the increase among the middle and upper classes of so ciety. As his views were different from the generality of the medical profession, he would first notice the situation, structure, and use of the lungs and the bony case which surrounds them, and next the doctrines generally received by the medical profession in reference to this disease, and the various peculiar remedies at different times prescribed for the cure of pulmonary consumption. In these two branches of his sub ject Mr. Cronin showed considerable talent and research, and explained the first part by diagrams of the chest and lungs, which were exhibited on the stage, and then noticed briefly the numerous, and in many instances absurd, remedies recommended. Tho Lecturer then proceeded to state his opinion. He con sidered that consumption arose from debility, which in stead, as was generally supposed, being attendant on consumption, was in fact the primary cause of this in curable disease ; that consumption was a disease of the general system, and not primarily confined to the lungs ; that it did not arise from the deposit of certain matter, which produced tubercle, but from unnatural pressure of the adjacent parts, brought on by general and extensive debility ; that this debility arose from many causes, from irritation of the nervous system, improper food, insufficiency of clothing, want of cleanliness, sudden changes of atmosphere, &c.; that the mus cular system, from the prevailing debility, became completely relaxed, in consequence of which the bony case which surrounds the lungs, presses on them, produ cing in the first place congestion ; inflammation followed, and the other distressing symptoms, as difficulty of breathing, cough, &e., were the consequences. The Lec turer strongly deprecated tight lacing as an irrational practice, which was very liable to produce consumption. Mr. Cronin next proceeded to explain the treatment adopted by him to give immediate relief. Acting upon the idea that pressure of the bones on the lungs was the great cause of the disorder,he put into aglass a few drops of aromatic spirit. Having ignited the spirit, he placed the mouth of this glass on the lower part of the pit of the patient's stomach, and drew it quickly across the body. The effect was, the flesh occupied the vacuum in the glass, and thus raised the abdo minal muscles. The glass being gently drawn up, the compressed lower part of the breast-bone was ele vated, which allowed the air to rush freely into the com pressed lungs, affording instant relief. The highly re spectable and numerous audience, who crowded the room, received this announcement with loud applause, which was frequently renewed, as many persons, who were known to have been pronounced incurable by some of the leading physicians both in London and elsewhere, presented themselves on the platform, expressing in the warmest manner, thanks for the relief which they expe rienced under Mr. Cronin's care. [A Correspondent informs us that Mr. Cronin, during the few days he has been in London, has fully proved the importauce of his discovery—one case, that of confirmed consumption, Mr. A. Cartwright, Clerk of the Inland Navigation and Sloop Office, Custom House ; and another, a most distressing case of asthma—Mr. Gelling, 53 Ticket-porter, Hunger , ford-market, in the presence of Mr. Fant, surgeon, St. Martin's-lane, and Mr. Forsyth, West Strand.] THE PRESTON ROBBERY OF TWO THOUSAND POUNDS. BIRKENHEAD, WEDNESDAY. — EIiza Bailey, who (with a male acquaintance) was examined on several occasions at Union-hall, before Mr. Traill, and even tually set at liberty, there not being sufficient evi dence to warrant a committal, was brought to this place, where she has undergone three examinations at the Town-hall, the last of which took place last evening, and ended in her committal for trial. The examinations have taken place before Mr. J. D. Case, a Magistrate of the county, and, owing to the activity and zeal of Mr. G. Palmer, special high constable of the hundred of Wirral, such a chain of circumstances have been collected together as left the worthy Ma gistrate no other course to pursue than the one he has adopted. The prisoner, who appeared very fashionably at tired, was defended by Mr. Owen, a solicitor from Liverpool, who cross-examined the witnesses at very great length. Mr. John Marquis, of Accrington, in the county of Lancaster, gentleman, stated that on the 1 7th of August last he received from the bank of Messrs. Cunliffe, Brooks, and. Co., at Blackburn, the sum of 5,9341. 6s. 2d. All of this sum consisted of Bank of England notes, except the odd 41. 6s. 2d., which was in gold and silver. Three thousand of this he paid into the bank, and on Sunday morning, the 4th of Sep tember, he counted over the notes he had left, and placed them in his pocket-book. They consisted of two 5001. notes, and nine 1001. notes. These he placed in his pocket-book, and put it into the I,:ft hand breast-pocket of his coat. On the morning of t can he r n e e c t o e l s l e a c l l t , s a a b fe o about t th s zs e t , h el , e Vv ei i , tn in es t s h ( e a e s his pocket. He walked about the streets of Prewon f n t e e r a n r o l y e n a ) B saw he e until the evening, up the main street towards the church. When opposite the church a man and woman came up to him. The man took hold of his left arm and the woman his right, when the former said to him, " Are you taking a walk ?" He immediately dis engaged himself, and said " No." They then left him, and ran across the street to where a number of persons were standing, and he lost sight of them. On searching he found his pocket-book was gone, and he immediately gave information to the police. The witness said he thought the prisoner was the female who spoke to him. Ellen Lodge, barmaid at Mr. Watson's, the Railway Inn, at Birkenhead, said she recollected the prisoner in company with a man come to her master's house on Tuesday, the 6th of September, about one o'clock. They remained in the house until about half-past three o'clock, when they went away towards the Chester Railway. Another of Mr. Watson's servants gave similar tes timony, both being certain the prisoner was the person. Mr. Watson, the landlord of the Railway Inn, de posed to going to the water-closet shortly after the parties left his house, and to finding a piece of paper on the floor, which, on examination, turned out to be a 100/. note, with a 101. inside of it. (TheSe notes were produced and identified as part of the notes, Mr. Marquis received at Blackburn. Mr. Wilson, the manager of Messrs. Cunliffe, Brookes, and Co.'s bank at Blackburn, deposed to pay ing to Mr. Buck, solicitor of Burnley, the sum men tioned by Mr. Marquis, on account of the latter. He identified the notes found in the water-closet as part of the money. Mr. Buck, solicitor, on being called, stated that within a few minutes of his receiving the money he handed it over to Mr. Marquis, except 726/.125. 11d., which he retained to pay off a mortgage. In cross-examination by Mr. Owen, he said most probably he should retain a 5001., two 1001., and two 101. notes, to pay the mortgage. Mr. Owen then, at very great length, contended that there was not sufficient evidence to justify the Magistrate in committin g his client for trial. As the notes which had been retained by Mr. Buck had not been traced, it was fair to presume that those found might be part of that sum. Mr. Case said he had given the evidence the -best attention, and he was bound to say that he felt he should not be performing his duty as a Magistrate if he did not send the prisoner to trial. She therefore stood committed to take her trial for the cffence at the next Knutford Sessions. The prisoner, after being cautioned, was asked if she had anything to say, when, by the advice of Mr. Owen, she replied " Nothing." She was then remove d, man if es ti ng th e u t mos t apparent indifference. COVENT GARDE N THEATRE. --The stock comedy of the Jealous Wife, by Colman, was performed at this • theatre last night, the part of Mrs. Oakley being enacted by Mrs. Salzberg, well known some eight years since, as the favourite Miss Phillips, of Drury lane. her accomplishments and powers have been recognised of old ; her voice is as clear and distinct as formerly, and h er f orm an d face are well adapted to the best cha racters in the h i g h er d e p ar t men t o f h er profession. Her portraiture of Mrs. Oakley was a vigorous and effective sketc h . Th e O a kl e y of Mr. Vandenhoff was • a tranquil and we ll-conceived p iece of act i ng.

There Were' found in his stomach a part of a man's shirt, and the skin of a man's head.—American paper. sistance as he has'uniformly afforded me, and I stall . feel the imperative obligation of considering his c!anis upon the Government, whenever an opportunity may offer of adequately acknowledging them. This will place the office of Attorney-General, with a seat in the Cabinet, at my disposal, and I am prepared to offer it to Mr. Baldwin. The absence of Mr. Sherwood deprives me of the opportunity of ascertaining how far he might be will ing to accede to the arrangement, and of knowing whether he is ready to fulfil one of the conditions of his appointment. by obtaining a seat in the Assembly. This disposal of his office must therefore be left a matter for future consideration. From my knowledge of the sentiments entertained by all the gentlemen who now compose my constitu tional advisers, I see no reasons to doubt that a strong and united Council might be formed on the basis of this proposition. In this persuasion I have gone to the utmost length to meet, and even to surpass your demands; and if after such an overture, I shall find my efforts to secure the political tranquillity of the country unsuccessful, I shall at least have the satisfaction of feeling, that I have exhausted all the means which the most anxious desire to accomplish this great object has enabled me to devise.--I have the honour to be, &c. C. B:LGOT. Mr. Girouard, who is proposed by Governor Bagot I for a seat in the Council, was one of the active movers in the events of 1837.8, and a reward of 500/. was offered and paid for his apprehension. CANADA.—The Toronto Patriot has the following remarks on the subject : " The letter of his Excellency the Governor-Ge neral to Mr. Lafontaine, has been since Friday before our fellow-subjects, and the doubts which long existed as to whether it was genuine or an impudent hoax and gross personal insult to the pretended writer — have been removed, and to our mingled sorrow and humiliation, we know that this document is what it purports to be. No public document issued in the British North American Provinces from the triumph of Wolfe down to the present day, has ever been perused by the true-hearted subjects of the Sovereign of Great Britain with such an intensity of mortifica tion and such a feelingof abasement, as this indescrib able letter from the head of the Government to Mr. Lafontaine. We will not, we need not attempt to analyse its contents. It is as matchless in style as in substance—and as a State paper stands alone and "sui generis." It offers a carte blanche to Mr. Lafontaine to form a new Cabinet—dismisses with a " damnation of faint praise" Messrs. Draper and Ogden, and Sherwood and Davidson—offers to reward with a thousand a year a gentleman whom Lord Seaton thought Rorth half that amount to ensure his being lodged in gaol—im plores Mr. Lafontaine to accept office with a piteous intreaty, laughable but for the terrible importance of the subject—and finally casts down before the feet of that gentleman and Mr. Baldwin the whole preroga tive of his Executive office, the dignity and the majesty of the Royal authority. • On no former occasion do we recollect witnessing so strong an expression of intense sorrow and humi liation, as has been exhibited by every one with whom we have conversed on the occasion of this abject sur render of the happiness, hopes, and prosperity of the people of this rising colony into the hands of a merci less and grasping faction, who have never known power but to abuse it, who have never been for a mo ment intrusted with influence but they have used it toward the embroilment of the whole country, the strangulation of public prosperity, and the paralysis of enterprise and improvement. The offer of a thousand a year to Mr. Girouard— with Lord Seaton's proclamation yet fresh in their memories—must give grave food for reflection to all those who took up arms on what they fancied to be the right side, in 1837-8. If names, things, and principles, have undergone such a complete metamorphosis in the last four years, as to render a man, v<hom the gallant leader of the now insulted Loyalists thought it necessary, for the safety of the land, to thrust into gaol, now deserving of a large salary and a post of the highest rank, then indeed we have all to reflect whether, if his conduct deserve reward and promotion, ours must not neces sarily deserve punishment and disgrace. We cannot have been right, if Mr. Girouard and his compatriots were also right; and we look to the writer of the letter to Mr. Lafontaine, for an explanation of our true position in the matter. The following, from the Rochester Democrat, shows that the dissatisfaction with the late appoint ments by the Governor, has extended to the Parlia ment of Canada : CANADA.—There is trouble in the Canadian Parlia ment. The Governor. General, - in trying to administer the government upon " conciliation principles," is likely to find himself entirely unsupported. By culling into his Cabinet men of liberal principles, he has of fended the Tories and a portion of the so-called Re formers' who together command a majority in Parlia ment. Mr. Draper, one of the highest officers of Go vernment, has resigned, and it is expected that there will he a general break-up of the Cabinet. Lis also rumoured that Parliament will be dissolved. If so, there will be another general election, which will attended with unusual excitement. -- We ---- --- subjoin extracts from the American papers, with the state of the markets at New York and Philadelphia : A FPROPRIATIONS — The appropriations made by Congress during the late session are as follows : Civil and Diplomatic - list Army ..,....,„,, 6,405,280 36 Navy..

NEW ORLEANS.--a duel Was fought near the Sugar Refinery, between our Postmaster and a gentleman connected with the St. Louis Cathedral. The weapons used were small swords. Both parties received flesh wounds. The difficulty grew out of the late contro versy between the Bishop and Members. Two more duels are on the tapis, and these " affairs of honour " will not cease until a frost comes, which always de stroys affairs of this kind, as well as the yellow fever. (From the New Orleans Picayune, Sept. 13.) FROM MEXICO. By the schooner Water Witch, Captain A rnou x, arrived since our last from Vera Cruz, we have the following interesting letter from our valued Corre spondent : " Vera Cruz, Aug. 18, 1842. " The Mexican squadron, the departure of which I announced in my last, sailed on the morning •f the 15th inst. The " getting under weigh" of this fleet was a sight well worth seeing, and the expert ma noeuvring on board one of the vessels in particular, has furnished Vera Cruz with a sub:ect for laughter for some time to come. The vessel was the schooner Eagle, commanded by a capitan de fragata named Diez Miron. After succeeding in getting foul of al most every vessel in the port, the war steamer wqs obliged to return and take her out in tow, with a very fair wind! " Letters from the capital, by yesterday's mail, are without anything of interest, except that the mur derers of Mr. Egerton and his wife have been, it is thought, discovered, and are now in prison, undergo ing their examination. If the persons arrested are really the murderers, the perpetrators of this h orr id deed are natives not foreigners, as was generally sup posed at first. "All is dead silence at Mexico on the subject of Mr. Webster's letter. I can give you no opinion as to the probable course which this Government will pursue, though I fear Santa Anna will not feel disposed to raise Brother Jonathan's Irish.'" (From the New Orleans Bulletin.) A certain Mr. Joseph Wells has offered to loan the Mexican Government the sum of 7,000,000 dols., on condition that he be permitted to import from London a certain quantity of English cotton goods. The proposition has been laid before Congress, but has not been acted on. The domestic manufacturers were protesting loudly against the project. A prolific vein of gold, extending nearly 20 miles, has been discovered near the Bay of Francisco, in Upper California. (From the Crescent City.) The Mexican manufacturers are clamouring loudly for . protection duties on coarse cotton and woollen cloths. The new Mexican tariff goes into operation on the Ist of November. The duties are reduced about one half. We understand it will be published in pamphlet form in a few days. The plan of a new Constitution has not yet been reported to the Mexican Congress, by the Committee appointed to frame it. A conducta of specie was to have left Mexico for Vera Cruz on the 25th of August. The first division of Mexican troops (1,300) des tined for the subjugation of Yucatan, sailed for Vera Cruz - about the 10th of August. MORE INCENDIARISAL—Between 11 and 12 o'clock last night the Reading Railroad bridge over Mill Creek, together with the Montgomery County bridge, both crossing Mill Creek, immediately adjoining each other, and about two miles from Manayunk—the last named of wood, and covered —was fired by an incen diary, and the flames soon extended to the railroad bridge ; both structures were entirely destroyed.

Hence the interest which the " Life of Savage," as given in the publication in which it originally appeared, raised as it proceeded through successive Numbers of Bentley's Miscellany, and the perpetuity it will secure in the appropriate form in which it is now produced. In the trial scene we seem to be present in the Court.

CHANGE OF MINISTRY IN CANADA. The Great Western, Captain Hoskin, arrivcd in King-road, Bristol, last night, at hall-pa,t ten o'clock, having left New York on the even ing of the 20th. - She brings news fourteen days later. The intelligence from the United States is unimportant, but from Canada we learn that the Governor-General, finding it difficult. or im possible to carry on affairs with his late advisers, had resolved to try a change, and introduce into the Council, and into public offices, some of the leaders of the French Canadians and the British Reformers. At his urgent request, therefore, Mr. LAFONTAINE and Mr. BALDWIN, with several of their political friends, had joined the Council. The reasons for this proceeding will be found in the subjoined letter, addressed by Sir CHARLES BAGOT to Mr. LAFONTAINE; who accepts the office of Attorney-General of Lower Canada, in the place of Mr. OGDEN. Mr. DRAPER, the Attorney-General of Upper Canada, has given in his resignation. This appointment, with a seat in the Council, was to be offered to Mr. BALDWIN. These changes have given great offence to the Tory party, who, as will be seen from an article in. the Toronto Journal, are quite furious. Some of them even go so far as to threaten an other outbreak, in consequence of yielding to the French party and Ultra-Radicals. 'We trust, however, that they have too much patriotism, and the Executive and established authorities too much power, to venture on such a hazardous scheme for recovering their former position. The inference from all these movements is, that the French party in the new Parliament is still strong, and that the Governor-General, finding business interrupted, and his plans thwarted by the Liberal party, had no other alternative but a re-construction of the Ministry. It will be seen that several members of the former Council retain their places. It was generally believed that Parliament woui3 be dissolved, but we are inclined to think Sir C. BAGOT Will see first what can be done with the present betbre he throws the country into coin motio❑ by a general election. At New York affairs were going on very quietly, but trade was not brisk. The citizens of Boston were about to give a grand entertain ment to Mr. WEBSTER, which should have taken place on the 22d ult., but as he was suffering under a severe cold, and could not speak, the matter was poitponed. The following remarks on his retirement from office, and on the part which he took in negotiating the Ashburton treaty,are taken from the Joy rnal Commerce:— ___ " His retirement is not based upon any quarrel with, or disaffection towards, Mr. riper. Un der, such circumstances it may be difficult for Mr. 'Webster to command the applause • of, re publiCans. He has, indeed, by remaining in office, done the country more real service than all the other politicians of the country put together. But what of that? He did it by securing peace ; and war only brings eclat. There is great reason to believe that Mr: Webster alone could have rendered Lord Ashburton's mission successful. At any rate, he was eminently qualified for the task, and he managed it with con summate wisdom. In anticipation of the negotiation, he repaired to Massachusetts and Maine, and first of all settled the fundamental point that the negotiation was not to be made a party question. He thus brought both parties together, and procured the Commissioners to be appointed equally from both. Having thus re moved the grand stimulant of controversy, as in all probability no other man could have done it, he su perintended the negotiation, and at least once saved it when the wisdom of all the other negotiators had proved inadequate to the exigencies which met them. The negotiation of this treaty is more important than all the other measures which have been adopted during the year, and as Mr. Webster's services have been indispensable to the result, we repeat that he has done more for the country than all our other statesmen united. But why thank him ? Why honour him for that ? It is all nothing but PEACE." We regret to learn that yellow fever con tinued to prevail at New Orleans, Mobile, and several other places in the States. Our Bristol Correspondent states that Lord MORPETLI ar rived by the Great Western, and appears in good health and spirits. The following is the letter of Sir C. BA GOT to Mr. LAFONTAINE (From the New York Journal of Commerce o September 23.) Governor Bagot has entered upon a new course of policy as it respects the French population of Canada, which will tend to unite them in cordial sympathy with their fellow subjects. The views of hi 3 Excel lency are fully developed in th e f o ll ow i ng l e tt er t o Mr. Lafontaine : Government House, Kingston, Sept. 13, 1842. Sir,—Having taken into my most earnest and anx ious consideration, the conversations which have passed-between us, I find my desire to unite to the aid of, and cordial cooperation with my Government, the population of French origin of this province, unabated. 1 have therefore not waited for the result of your de liberation, but on the contrary have been considering how far I can possibly meet the views of those who have the confidence of that part of the population, so as to snake their accession to this Government satis factory to themselves, and, at the same time, accom-• panied by that mutual confidence which can alone make it beneficial to the country. I have accordingly come, not without difficulty, to the conclusion, that for such an object, I will consent to the retirement of the Attorney-General, Mr. Ogden, from the office which he now holds, upon its being distinctly understood that a provision will be made for him commensurate with his long and faithful ser vices. • Upon this retirement, Lam prepared to offer to you the situation of Attorney-General of Lower Canada, with a seat in my Executive Council. The office of Solicitor- general in Lower / Canada has long been kept vacant, in the hope of some ar rangement, by . which the object that I have always had in view might have been assisted ; and I shall be happy to listen to your suggestion of the name of any gentleman of British origin whose co-operation with the Government will aid us in the attainment of one common object. I have reverted, carefully and anxiously, to your expressed wish, of being joined in your adherence to my Government, by a sufficient number of supporters to ensure the confidence of those whose interests you represent. I find that one of my own plans for the advantage of Lower Canada, viz.—the distribution of the too' crowded population of your frontier settlements over a larger extent of territory, may be made to coincide with your views. . Girouard has been represented to me as a gen tleman possessing administrative faculties of a high order, and, at the same time, the confidence of his countrymen. hle can mutually assist us in forwarding my object in this respect, and I have therefore determined, if I should he successful in inducing you to accept my proposition, in offering to him the situation at present held by Mr. Davidson, with a seat in the Council; on the understanding that the latter gentlemen shall also he provided for in a manner suitable to his just pre tensions, and that Mr. Girouard shall be elected, by some constituency, member of the Assembl3c I have farther determined to offer the confidential post of Clerk of the Council to some gentleman of yes r recommendation, and I would suggest that the reputation enjoyed by Mr. Morin or Mr. Parent, d!- signates them as perhaps among the fittest persons f,r your recommendation. Mr. Faldwin's differences with the Government have arisen chiefly from his desire to act in concert with the representatives of the French portion of the population; and as I hope these differences are now happily removed, I shall be willing to avail myself of his services. Mr. Draper has tendered to me the resignation of his office. 1 shall always regret thw loss of such US. ...0 .. " the col.ve.iience and exp Lion of travelle,r6 fora 10: days.
