" Passive Resistance" was not the word in vogue at that time ; yet his Reverence had contrived to instil the principle into the minds of his flock. He was the only bidder at the sale ; he bought every thing right and left, for little or nothing ; and having secured his bargains, made them over again freely and gene rously to his Protestant Brother. As one story generally brings on another, the reader will pardon me if I relate an equally authentic anec dote, which may serve as an excellent moral to the pre ceding, by showing the natural tendency of Christian charity to reproduce itself. A relative of that same honest and warm-hearted priest left him the heir of a considerable property, which was, however, the.subject of contention among numerous claimants. A Pro testant clergyman well acquainted with the state of the property, urged him to proceed by a bill in Chancery, to establish his right. The expense of such a pro ceeding was objected to as an insuperable bar ; but the parson soon removed it by laying down a cheque on Latouche for a thousand pounds, and offering as much more, if more should be found necessary. The lawyers, however, were satisfied with the first instal ment, a judicious application of which placed our honest little ecclesiastic in a condition to repay his friend, and dispense charity and hospitality with a hand as liberal as his heart. Such incidents are rare in Ireland, where religious and political animosity too often obliterates the divine principle of brotherly love. But doubtless we shall be on more friendly terms toge ther, and the interchange of kindly offices betwserl the professors of opposing creeds will be more frequent, when our laws and our law-makers shall cease to forbid it. MEXICAN BONDS. The following official communication has been received by the Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bond holders : _ _ " Mexico, Aug. 25 ", SIR,—We have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 14th of June, enclosing one from M. Garay, which we have translated and handed to his successor, M. lichevarria ; the answer to which, if received in time, shall go enclosed. " Immediately on receipt of your letter, we, in company with Mr. Pakenham. waited on the Minister of Finance, who assured us that the Government had not lost sight of the claims of the bondholders, that he had every hope of being able very shortly to recommence making remittances for account of the dividends, and that the interruptions which have.taken place in the mission of specie have arisen entirely from the political convulsions which have been agitating the country for some time past. Since writing the above, we have learned that M. Esche varria has resigned the office of Minister of Finance. His successor has not been yet appointed, but as soon as the nomi nation shall have been made, we shall endeavour to obtain the answer to your letter. " We have the honour to remain your most obedient ser vants, " MANNING and MARSHALL. " To Lieut.-General Sir Robert Wilson, &e." THE CORTES BONDS. The following correspondence has just taken place re tive to the claims of the Cortes' bondholders . " TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT PALMERSTON. "MY LORD-I am requested by the Committee of Spanish bondholders to address your Lordship upon the subject of recent intelligence from Madrid, which is of the deepest im portance to the British creditors of Spain, and appears to the Committee to be the most deserving of your Lordship's con sideration. " The Committee have been informed that in the Chamber of Procuradores a decision has been come to which, after recognising the foreign debt of Spain, assigns to two-thirds of the principal of the debt an active form, and to one-third a passive form, while the interest due and now payable upon it is placed entirely in a passive state. " This decision not only inflicts grievous wrong upon the British creditors of Spain, but treats them unequally and un justly compared with its other creditors. The holders of Spanish bonds issued under the former Constitutional Govern ment of Spain are large claimants on the score of interest : 55 per cent. on their original bond is due to them on the Ist of November next. For eleven years have they suffered this privation and injury, and now that the Constitutional Govern ment is re-established in Spain, not only is no attempt made to redress it, but a resolution is come to which has the effect of continuing it. " The French creditors of Spain, on the other hand, the holders of the Rentes Perpetuelles, have constantly received the payment of interest due upon their bonds, while British creditors have been entirely deprived of the interest due to them. " The Committee, therefore, consider that the interest of the British debt now due should be treated as principal in any operation pretending to the merit of equal justice which the Spanish Government or Legislature may think fit to adopt. Even then English creditors will largely suffer. Not only will the value of compound interest, enjoyed by the other creditors of Spain, have been lost to them, but the interest which is now due, worked up into Spanish securities, instead of being paid, as it ought to have been, in sterling money, will lose nearly half its value. ' " The Committee entreat your Lordship to call upon the British Ambassador at Madrid to represent these circum stances to the Spanish authorities, that if the necessities of Spain compel her for the present to stop short of full recom pense to her creditors, she should at least treat them with equal justice, and not place British claimants, who have been her best friends, whose money she has more largely partaken of, and on better terms, in a worse situation than her other creditors. 6 ` Your Committee are sensible of the kindness with which your Lordship has attended to the claims of the British credi tors of Spain, and entreat your Lordship to give effect to this remonstrance on their part, through his Majesty's Minister at the Court of Madrid, with all the promptitude which your Lord ship's convenience will permit. " I have the honour to be, your Lordship's most obedient Servant, " THOMAS WEEDING, Chairman. " London, Oct. 17." " Mr. Backhouse presents his compliments to Mr. Weeding, and requests that he will have the goodness to furnish him with a copy of the memorial of the holders of Cortes' bonds, of which the originals were enclosed in Mr. Weeding's letter of the 21st August last. " Foreign Office, Oct. 18." " Mr. Weeding presents his compliments to Mr. Back house, and, in compliance with his request, enclozes copies of the three memorials which accompanied Mr. Weeding's letter of the 21st of August last, to the Queen Regent of Spain, and to the two Houses of the Spanish Legislature. " The purport of these memorials was to claim equal justice for the British creditors,.with other foreign creditors of Spain, in any disposition which the Spanish Government might adopt in regard to its foreign debt. " By the vote of the Procuradores, this principle is violated. The holders of the Rentes Perpetuelles, negotiated since 1823, after the former constitutional' Government of Spain was set aside, have received regularly half-yearly an interest of 5 per cent. per annum upon their bonds, while the British holders of Cartes bonds have received no interest since the Cortes were dissolved in 1823. " The Cortes bondholders claim, therefore, that the arrears of interest shall be treated as a debt in equal degree with the principal ; and if two-thirds only of the foreign debt be to be made active, they claim that two-thirds of the interest now due and payable shall have an active form as well as two-thirds of the principal. " It would be a strange perversion indeed of reason and of justice if Frenchmen, whose bayonets under the Duke of An gouleme enabled Ferdinand to violate his engagements and to dismiss the Cortes, should by the Cortes now restored be placed in effect in a more favourable situation than their Eng lish creditors. " Mr. Weeding hopes that Mr. Villiers will not allow M. Rayneval to outstrip him in defence of the respective interests of British and French creditors. Great Winchester-street, Oct. 20." " Foreign-office, Oct. 23. " Sta—l am directed by Viscount Kalmerston to acknow ledge the receipt of your letters of the 17th and 20th instant, setting forth the peculiar hardship which is entailed upon the British creditors of Spain by that part of the financial arrange ment of the Cortes, which places entirely in a passive state the interest due and now payable upon Spanish bonds gene rally ; and I am to acquaint you that his Majesty's Minister at Madrid will be instructed to call the immediate attention of the Spanish Government to the subject. " I am, sir, &c. " G. SHEE. " To Thomas Weeding, Esq." COURT CIRCULAR. The King will hold a Privy Council to-morrow at St. 'arnes's. Summonses were issued yesterday to the Cabinet linisters to attend the Council. It is expected that the Recorder of London will also make a report.

ERUPTION OF VE suvius .--The occurrence of the late explosion from this mountain of old and classical ter rors, imparts a fresh interest to every picture and description which human genius has left on record for the purpose of aiding the imagination to conceive the sublimities connected with the spot. Mr. Bulwer's recent production, which has so oppor tunely diffused its light over the most remarkable of the visi tations that has emanated from this terrible source, is not the only recent instance of literary talent directed to that subject. Mr. Horace Smith's late work, entitled, " Tales of the Early Ages," contains a story of some length, which derives its de nouement from the memorable fate of Pompeii, and conveys a vivid impression of the splendours and horrors that marked the progress and consummation of that appalling event. The catalogue of the articles for sale at the fair of Leipzic contains a list of 3,092 works, published by 456 book sellers ; 289 others were in the press. We believe it is not generally known that every new Speaker of the House of Commons, on his accession to office, is presented with a magnificent Bible, which has generally been considered by the family of each Speaker as a sacred relic.

On Tuesday night, a meeting of tradesmen was held in Brighton. street Chapel, to consider the propriety of voting an address to Lord Durham, on the occasion of that Noble Lord's visit to Glasgow. After some discussion, it was at length agreed that an address should be prepared, and a deputation of two of their number appointed to proceed to Glasgow to deliver the address to his Lordship. The meeting was but thinly attended. We are requested to state that the recent very im portant decision of the Cour de Cassation at Paris, relative to the recovery in France upon Bills of Exchange (indorsed after they have become due,) is ulterior to the going to press of the last edition of Mr. Okay's work upon the inter-national in tercoursc of Great Britain and that country. GREENOCK.—A public meeting of the inhabitants of Greenock was held in the Town Hall, on Monday last, at two o'clock, to take into consideration the propriety of pre senting an address to Lord Durham, on the occasion of his visiting Glasgow. The Provost having read the requisition, which was signed by upwards of one hundred electors, was unanimously voted to the chair. Mr. Clark moved the follow ing resolution :—That this public meeting of the inhabitants of Greenock shall send an address, to be presented in their name, to the Right Honourable the Earl of Durham, at the ensuing festival in Glasgow, expressive of the high sense they, in common with the country at large, and particularly with the people of the west of Scotland, entertain of his liberal, patri otic, and straightforward character and conduct, which render him so deserving of public approbation and confidence. Mr. Donald Bean seconded the resolution, which was carried una nimously. Mr. Hunter moved the following resolution : That Robert Wallace, Esq., M. P., be solicited to present the address of the inhabitants of Greenock to Lord Durham, on the occasion of his visiting Glasgow. Mr. Archibald Camp bell seconded the resolution, which was unanimously agreed to. Robert Wallace, Esq., M.P., who was present, agreed to present the address, and the thanks of the meeting having Leen by acclamation given to the Provost, for his conduct in the chair, the meeting dispersed. It is said a great literary curiosity- has recently been discovered. The identical copy of Ju;tius's Letters, in two volumes, bound in vellum, by Mr. Woodfall, the publisher, at the express wish of the author, which copy is particularly alluded to in the variorum edition of these letters, published by George Woodfall, Esq., a few years ago. MELANCHOLY INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATH. —On Sunday last, about three o'clock, the Baron and Baroness de Noval, who have been residing for some months at their villa, a t Barnes-green, Surrey, were walking within two hun dred yards of their residence, when opposite the establishment of John PalM, L. L. D., the Baron suddenly fell down, and instantly expired. Medical aid was immediately resorted to, but without avail. Thus has terminated the life of a noble man eminently distinguished for his benevolent disposition, and sincerely lamented by every one who knew him. On Monday last the Annual Festival of the Pro vincial Lodge of Freemasons took place in the Mechanics' In stitute, Chester-le-Street, which was Attended by a very large proportion of the Masons of the county, and also the pro vincial lodge of Northumberland. Indeed, the assembly was so numerous that standing room could not be obtained ; and the Provincial Grand-Master, with that liberality and splen pour which characterizes his conduct, promised the Craft a Freemasons' Hall sufficiently capatious to hold the whole Craft against the next anniversary. After the Masonic busi ness was concluded the party adjourned to the Lambton Arms, where three tables were laid out with great profusion and taste by brother Lawson. The Earl of Durham presided, Captain Yorke, M.P. ; Sir H. Williamson, M. P. ; Sir W. Chaytor, M. P. ; Captain Boas, M.P. ; Rev. Mr. Townsend ; Mr. Fawcett; Mr. Mills, &c. His lordship presided with his THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1834 z sual dignity and talent, and the brethren did not separate till a late hour, and not a single brother left the table as long as h s Lordship remained, who was repeatedly greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers.

GA I NSBOROUGII.—The Mart commenced on Mon day, the 20th ; but owing to the cold weather, and being badly attended by shows, very little business was done in the pleasure fair. On Tuesday the beast fair was held, and an unusual quantity of large fat beasts attended, which were bought up at very fair prices. A considerable number of sheep were also 'offered for sale, great part of which were soli. The cheese fair was held in the Market-place, on Tuesday and Wednesday, and a great quantity was brought in, which fetched the following prices :—Good Derbyshire, 565. to 60s. per cwt. ; Trent Side, good, 545. to 585., and dairy at 60s. per cwt. seconds, 435. to 48s. Second day it was nearly all old, but declined from Is. to 2s. per cwt. THE SILK TRADE.-The East India Company's sale of Bengal raw silks, which commenced at the India House on the 20th instant, has concluded. It was well attended throughout by the manufacturers, throwsters, and others inte rested in the trade. The quantity declared for sale was 2,100 bales of Company's Bengal, and 220 bales of private-trade China silks. The silk generally was superior in quality; but the prices realized were from 7.4- to 12} per cent. higher than those obtained at the previous sales ; the coarser sizes being in some cases refused at the taxed price. The following are a few of the averages obtained for the Company's silks :- The first qualities of Bauleah sold at 16s. 11d. to 17s. Id. ; of Conmercolly, at 17s. Id. ; of white Gonatea, 21s. 2d. ; of Harripaul, 20s. 9d. ; Junjypore, 225. 2d. ; white Radnagore, 19s. 7d., and white Surdahs at 225. ld. per lb. The coarser size is averaged as follows : -Bauleahs, 15s. 4d.; Cassimbasar, 15s. 3d., ditto white, 17s. 4d. ; Gonatea, 16s. 7d. ; Harrepaul, 16s. 7d. ; Junjypore, 16s. 3d. ; Malda, 15s. ; Radnagore, 17s. 2d. ; Ringpore, 17s. Id., and Surdah's, 15s. 9d. per lb. The private trade-Tsatlee averaged 20s. Id. for the first, and 19s. 7d. for the second qualities, and Taysaams, 17s. Bd. for second qualities. There remain in the East India Company's warehouses for future sales, 3975 bales of Company's Bengals, 1,014 bales of private trade China silks, and 29 bales of pri vate trade Bengal silks ; making a total of 5,018 bales. At the Dalkeith fair, on Tuesday last, a fine horse was carried off in the following manner :—The animal had been intrusted by the proprietor to the care of his servant, a simple countryman, in order to be sold, when the latter was accosted by two fellows, who, after examiniug the horse, and negotiating as to the price, at last offered 181., which was agreed to by the servant. The fellows then endeavoured to impose on the countryman, by the clumsy device of writing out a receipt for the sum on a stamp, and presenting the same to him with his name adhibited to it, adding, that if he took it to the bank he would get the money. The countryman, in experienced as he was, however, could not comprehend this mode of doing business, and resolved to keep sight of his horse, but the fellows had taken advantage of the Interval he was engaged in examining the document, and, on turning round to secure his property, he discovered no trace either of the horse or of the thieves. The proprietor of the horse lost no time in applying to the Sheriff for a warrant to recover the horse, and on Wednesday evening the same was found at Broxburn, in the possession of two individuals. As the war rant, of course, only extended to the county of Edinburgh, it was indorsed by one of the Justices of Linlithgow, and the officers then seized the horse. The men in whose custody it was found gave evasive answers as to how they obtained it, but two characters, well known to the police of this city, are suspected to have been the perpetrators of this theft and for gery.—Edinburgh Chronicle. HERRING FISHING.—The Repute, Captain Hec tor M'Carmaig, of Greeg, at Crinan Canal basin, from Shet land, clea re d w ith 600 b arr els he rr ing s , b oun d for Belfast. The Captain stated that in the course of last month the fishing had been excellent, and that some individuals had salted and cured 1,000 barrels in a few days. The other day a great fire having taken place in Normandy, the people quenched it with cider, which was more plentiful than water. Never was such a crop of apples, how ever, in France.—Gazette de Rouen. Yesterday morning, a poor woman, named Mary Tibbles, residing on the Beast Banks, near this town, was found burned to death in her own house. How the melancholy event originated can only be supposed, but it seems likely that the clothes of the unfortunate sufferer had caught fire, and that in attempting to extinguish the flames she had fallen on the floor, and been suffocated. The boards were consumed to a considerable extent, and the head and shoulders of the poor woman literally scorched to a cinder.—Kendal Mercury. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ST. MARY CRAY, KENT.—About seven o'clock on Sunday evening the inhabi tants of St. Mary Cray, Kent, were thrown into a state of great alarm by the discovery of an alarming fire on the exten- iive premises of Mr. Mosyjr, a respectable farmer in that vil lage. The engines in the immediate neighbourhood, and one belonging to the Kent Fire-office, from Deptford, arrived as soon as possible at the scene of conflagration, as did one from London belonging to the London Fire-engine Establishment ; but their united exertions were unable to subdue the fire until it had destroyed a large row of stalling, two barns, and a cow-shed. It is not known how the fire was occasioned; but it is generally believed to have been the act of an incendiary. Mr. Mosyer is insured in the Sun Fire-office. SINGULAR EIRE.—On Saturday afternoon, about two o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Dodd, sink maker, No. 21, Vere-street, Clare-market, which did considerable damage before it was extinguished. The fire whowas as id i e o c n e ed nt y in t the a( e n following premises, singular wasmannerput t :—Mr. ing up abell and had bored a hole with a small poker, which he had made red hot, through one of the door posts, when he discovered there inner was a side fa bothv vac be o u fm whichbetweend the ta k e o n u t fi e r r e nd an d i n ne pr were o burning unwards most furiously - . Several engines were in immediate attendance, but were unable to get at the fire until they had pulled down a great portion of the brickwork. Had not Mr. Dodd fortunately instantly discovered the fire, the principal supports of the house would have been burned through, before the inmates were aware of their danger. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE ON A FARM.—On Wednes day evening last, about half-past six o'clock, a very alarming fire broke out on the farm of Mr. Holtham, at Cleeve Prior, about two miles from Bidford, in Worcestershire, on the border of this county. The fire appears to have commenced in the barn (which was cf extraordinary size) and communicated to some sheds, all of which were totally dest ro y e d. Th e b arn contained bout 700 bags of wheat, and only 30 bags were rescued from the flames. There were 400 bags of old wheat ail thrashed, and the remainder of the present year's crop partly thrashed and partly in the straw. Three wheat stacks, stand ing but a few feet from the barn, were fortunately saved by the activity of a number of neighbours who came to assist, and who contrived by pouring pails of water from the tops of the stacks down the sides towards the barn, to prevent their being kindled. Much credit is due to all who anxiously and readily gave their aid on the occasion. Two engines were brought to the spot, but not until three hours after the fire had broken out. There is every reason to fear it was the work of diaboli cal incendiarism. We are happy to hear the property was in sured,—Warwick Advertiser. F IR E AT WHITELY WOOD.—Yesterday morning a conflagration, the origin of which is involved in mystery, broke out in the buildings composing the farmstead of a person of the name of Willis, at Whiteley Wood, near this town. At half-past six o'clock, the inhabitant of the cottage which is under the same roof with the barn which is consumed, casually looked into a shed at the end of the building containing stubble —at which time there appeared no indications of fire—nor were there any when more than an hour afterwards another person had occasion to enter the place. Before nine o'clock, however, the stubble in the shed was discovered to be in a blaze—the fire apparently having begun at the bottom of the heap. The flames soon communicated with the barn, which, containing . a quantity of corn and straw, easily fell a prey to the devouring element—there being no time to obtain a fire engine, and but indifferent means of using successfully the water at hand, though the various workmen in the neighbour hood rendered prompt and efficient assistance. Happily, by cutting away a portion of the roof the cottage adjoining the barn was saved • and providentially, owing to the direction of the wind, a stack of corn, which stood a few yards from the burning buildings, escaped uninjured.—Sheffield Mercury. ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Sa phaeoirssndste,-abaybrouenytdigstthrhtue, a post-boy from Edinburgh, while returning with a pair of horses from Linlithgow, was met near Winchburgh by two men, who were walking on the middle of the road. As cmiz, instantly tohnseee of f e e men separated, h s e e ea p ne 117 theawt ietdh, bridlehs e i semwhi rein n ip g seemingly fn t to da allow s horse. spurred u e him d T his horse, which carried him clear off; but the other horse was kept clear hold of by the ruffians. After proceeding a short way, the post-boy met a farm servant driving a cart, and re turned with him to the spot where he was attacked, and where he found his horse standing by the road-side ; but his assailants, whose object seemed to have been robbery, were not to be seen. In the hurry of the moment, the post-boy took no note of their persons, and is therefore not able to give a description of them ; but they seemed to have wreaked their disappoint ment on the poor horse, who when recovered appeared as if he had been thrown over and rolled in the mud.—Edinburgh Chronicle. CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquisition was last night taken at the Bull, Little Chapel-street, Westminster, before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of Elizabeth Pearson, aged 70, who was found dead under the following circum stances :__.lt appeared in evidence that the deceased occupied one of two almshouses, which were " erected in the year 1705, by Mrs. Judith Kifford, wife of Mr. Thomas Kifford, one of the ushers of the Court of Exchequer," and which, as described on the tablet, were to be dwelling places " for two decayed virtuous gentlewomen, one of whom was to be chosen out of St. Margaret's parish." The gift is in the possession of the Dean of Westminster, and the deceased, who had been in the service of the late Dean (Dr. Vincent), twenty-one years, had the house bestowed on her, with the legacies attached. The deceased had sunk her money, and lived on the annuity, though she obtained some assistance from that which was given her by charitable individuals. She was a woman of eccentric habits, and held little intercourse with her neighbours; but, as she was a very regular woman, some surprize was expressed on Sunday morning, from not seeing her as usual at the door. In consequence, about eleven o'clock that morning, her house was entered by her nephew, when she was found lying on the floor, the body being quite cold. On searching her pockets, 9/. 10s. ill gold and silver were found. Verdict—" That the deceased died by the visitation of God." The houses arc now both without a tenant, as since the death of the former occu pant, no one has been appointed to the gift. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

IRVINGITES.-The Hon. Spencer Percival, T. Findlayter, and, we understand, H. Drummond, Esq., are now on a visit to this city, and occasionally address the public in the streets and elsewhere. Tuesday Mr. Findlayter delivered an exhortation in our market-place, to, of course, a very mixed congregation, and, in the evening at the old Mechanics' Insti tution in Prince's-street, to one more select. The subjects of his discourses were the evils and sin of sabbath-breaking, and the necessity of repentance to avert threatened punishments. He appeared considerably excited, and his delivery was hurried, but not incoherent; his audience listened to him with atten tion, and exhibited no marks of disrespect. We understand that it is intended to deliver several more addresses. A cor respondent has favoured us with the following as the views of this sect :—" They acknowledge no name but the church of Christ ; they consider that Christianity, as professed by the establishment and all other sects, is in a corrupted and dege nerated state, and has been permitted so to be till the present time; and that blindness and unbelief, with other corruptions of Judaism, was a type of Christianity as it now exists ; that the time is however come when Jesus will establish in the earth his true church, similar to the apostolic age, with a fulness and in-gathering which ere long will be universal, and for this purpose he has raised up some as angels, prophets, elders, pastors, evangelists, deacons, and other officers ; all set apart by the Lord Jesus Christ to sustain and fulfil each their respec tive duties as appointed by their Head • and they look forward to the time when theirs will be the only Church, gathered, as it were, from every sectarian church throughout the globe of those that shall be approved of the Lord." A medical gentle man of this city is expected shortly to be consecrated as an accepted officer to the above work.—Bristol Gazette. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. This day's Gazette, we Undeistand, will contain the names of the gentlemen appointed as " Colonization Commissioners for South Australia ;" they are Mr. Wolryche Whitmore, M.P., Mr. Grote, M.P., Mr. Warde Norman, the Bank Director, Mr. Henry Ward,. M.P., Colonel Torrens, M.P., and Mr. M. D. Hill, M.P. By a provision of the South Australian Act, his Majesty is prevented from formally appointing the Governor of the province, until the colonists shall have made arrangements with the Commissioners for the purchase. of lands to the amount of 35,0001., and for the investment of 20,0001., by way of security for money advanced on the .Colonial Revenue Bonds, by the issue of which the expenses of colonial government are to be defrayed. The colonists, in short, must invest 55,000/. in the undertaking, before the appointment .. of their Governor can appear in the Gazette. As, however, the early success of the colony, must very much depend on the character of the first Governor,. and as the assembled colonists require a leader now, almost as much'as they will require one aftar their ar rival in Australia, his Majesty's Government have se lected the gentleman, who will be appointed Governor as soon as the act shall allow. The choice is most creditable to Mr. Spring Rice's administration of the Colonial Department. We remember that our con— temporary, the Examiner, in reviewing Colonel Charles James Napier's account of his proceedings as Gover nor of Cephalonia, said, " He has shown himself to be the fittest man in England to govern a colony, and, therefore, he is the last man to be chosen for such a purpose." This Colonel C. J. Napier is to be the Governor of South Australia. Until now, indeed, if a colonial officer disagreed with his chief in Downing street, and above all, if he were so bold as to defend his own conduct by an appeal to the public, he was marked for neglect, if not persecution. But it seems we have changed all that. Colonel Napier, who, for years, has been a sort of bete noire to the Tories yet nestling in Downing -street, who has published a book full of strong reflections on our colonial administration, and who is incapable of expressing a repentance which he does not feel, is, nevertheless, selected to fill an important office under Government. This is one of the many good fruits of reform. Let us hope that, in time, all public servants will be chosen for their fitness. The Commissioners of Public Lands in the Colony, acting under the aaithority of the Board here, will, it is understood, be Captain John Kennedy, of the Royal Engineers, of Whose fitness for that office there is ample proof iu Colonel Napier's book. He was the Government en gineer at Cephalonia, under Colonel N a pi er ' s adminis tration. The King, we hear, has been graciously pleased to express a wish that the first town of his Majesty's new province should be called Windsor. The Commissioners act without salaries : they will ' meet for the present at the rooms lately occupied by the - South Australian Association (which is super seded by the Commission), in John -street, Adelphi. The machinery for founding the colony is now complete. The Commission is to be looked upon as a mere instrument . for enabling individuals to found a colony in the best way. Nothing is to be expected from the wealth of some of the Commis sioners ; nothing from their high characters for intelligence and sagacity, except as it gives assurance that what they have to do they will do well. But what have they, to do ? Nothing in the way of sub scription, or persuasion, or even suggestion. They have as much to do with the founding of the colony as the Board of Trade has to do with the foreign com merce of England, but no more. They are mere offi cers, bound, indeed, by the Act of Parliament to per form certain duties ; but their duties are confined to such acts as may be necessary for enabling others— the colonists themselves—to prOceed with the under taking. Let this be.well understood. It will be best explained by putting a speech into the mouths of the Commissioners. - Let us suppose them to say—" In pursuance of the South Australian Act, we have framed rules, orders, and regulations for the future disposal of public lands in the.. colony, for the immediate sale of such a quantity of land as will bring 35,000/., and for the conveyance of labouring emigrants to the colony by means of the piirchase-money of lands. We have also prepared Colonial Revenue Bonds to a cer tain amount ; and of these we are ready to dispose to such colonists, or others, as may choose to obtain them. Here our duties end for the present. A main principle mfazbe e lAsaeutulet which we act, is, that the colony should be founrV arifl governed, like all our old colonies in North America, at the expense of individuals. W e , representing tlie'Statc..; can do nothing more than week the Machinery Which has been framed for the sole pur pose of. enabling individuals to found the colony. All the rest must depend on the colonists themselves," An experiment, of which the object is to ascertain whether a colony established in a country where the quantity of land is unlimited, may be rendered highly prosperous, and attractive to all classes, from the very beginning of its career ; this novelty in colonization - is so interesting, and pregnant, if the attempt should suc ceed, with such important consequences, that we shall often return to the subject.—Morning Chronicle. We copy from the Caledonian Mercury of Satur day last, a letter addressed to that Journal by Mr. Macvey Napier, Editor of the Edinburgh Review, oft the subject of Lord Durham's letter. The Caledo nian Mercury calls attention to the letter of Mr. Napier, in an article in which some severe strictures are passed on the conduct of Lord Durham, and which concludes thus :—" As to the charge of mis representation, it is too vague and general. Before it can be met satisfactorily, the accusation must be made specific ; nay, what is more, it ought to be instantly verified, and that before his Lordship- comes to Scot land, for if the Noble Lord fail in proving this odious libel, the alleged want of veracity is likely to be thrown ba'ek by the Scottish public on himself." On the other hand, our Evening Contemporary, the Courier, con tends that Mr. Napier has failed in the principal object of his letter—namely, to show that the Reviewer could have known that the 201. qualification was the proposal of any individual or section of the Cabi net, by other means than through a Cabinet Minister, and adds, "If such things are to be tolerated—if Members of the Cabinet are to be allowed, in defiance of their oath, and of the trust reposed in them by his Majesty and their colleagues, to divulge Cabinet se crets, for the mere gratification of their own vindictive or mortified feelings, there must be an end to all confi dence among Ministers, and Lord Melbourne may. be treated to-morrow in the same way that Lord Durham has been treated yesterday." We must say that we regret these attempts to add to the irritation of the parties. The Caledonian Mercury might have safely left to Lord Durham to determine the course he should take in consequence of Mr. Napier's letter : and the Courier, though its indignation at the divulging of Cabinet secrets appears to be levelled at one indivi dual, must be aware that its arguments equally apply to another. We regret the use of harsh language, es pecially in the present stage of the dissension.—.Morn rug Chronicle. The importance of railways generally has been now so fully established that any remarks on that head, we are sure, would be superfluous ; but that they will create a great change throughout the country is equally to be conceded ; and that such change must, by dis turbing the usual course of trade in some places, and trespassing on the vested interests of others, cause some distress, there appears to be as little doubt. Though, therefore, some provisions may, and should be made by the Legislature, individuals must trust chiefly to . their own exertions and prudence to protect them from the effects of the coming storm.
