JOHN LEES, Secretary. THE SUN NEWSPAPER. T HE Conductor s of thi s D a ily E ven i ng Journal have been induced, by the public excitement, to give, for some days past, a SECOND EDITION, containing the DEBATES in both HOUSES of PAR LIAMENT up to the DEPARTURE of the MAILS, and also the GAZETTE on the Evenings of its Publication. It is their intention to continue this practice whilst it meets with such approbation. The SUN is by far the largest Evening Paper in London, containing TWENTY-FOUR COLUMNS, W hich enables it to give the DEBATES at FULL LENGTH, besides the LAW REPORTS, and other NEWS OF THE DAY, with the SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, being the Leading Articles of the Morning Papers on both s id es . Th e LONDON and COUNTRY MARKETS are given with great accuracy in the SUN. That its exertions are already duly appre ciated, will be seen by the following extracts from Provin cial Papers of the highest respectability : The SuN published a full report . of Mr. Peel's speech in a very short time after it was spoken, and also the contents of the " London Gazette" on Tuesday eveniug—an ex traordinary and highly creditable exertion.—Freeman's Journal. So great was the interest excited by the debate on Tues day night, that some of the Evening Papers continued their impression till past seven o'clock. The Sus - , a spirited and active paper, published a pretty full report of Mr. Peel's speech, in time for the country posts of that even ing.— Scotsman. THE " SUN" NEWSPAPEII.-It would be an injustice to this print not to state, that the report of Mr. Peel's speech, which is published in the various Dublin Papers, is taken from its columns. It is given in a Second Edition of the SUN, published at half-past seven on Tuesday even ing. It is a great deal longer, and apparently more accu rate, than any report conveyed through a private channel. —Morning Register. Should any of our reader-4 be disposed to order a Daily London Paper at the present interesting period, it is but fair to say, that we find the latest intelligence in THE Sox, as the Second Edition, which duly reaches this Office, con tains the Gazette Appointments the evening it is published, and the Proceedings in Parliament to a late hour.—While we are grateful to THE SUN for the intelligence, which it must require great exertions and expence to procure, we do not coincide with its politics.—lt supports the present ad mininration.—Glasgow Herald, of Monday, May 7. We have frequently noticed, of late, the great exertions made by the SUN Newspaper to give to the country the earliest information on matters of public importance; but particularly i ith respect to the recent changes in the Mi nistry. In a second edition of that paper of last Tuesday, not only the Gazette of the same evening is given, hut also a full report of the speech made by Mr. Peel, a few mo ments after it was delivered. This was an effort not only creditable to the spirit with which the SUN is conducted, but also to the talents by which it has been effected, and may be considered an exertion unprecedented even by the London Press.—Dublin Patriot. EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCII.-31r. Peel's speech in the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Ist May, occupying two columns, was reported in the SUN paper on that evening, in a second edition, and was received by E. Willmer, Lord street, Liverpool, on Wednesday night, at Seven cr clock. The speeches of Lords Ellenhorough, Eldon, Grosvenor, and the Duke of Wellington, in the House of Lords, on Wednesday, May 2, were reported in a second and third edition of the SUN on the same night, and arrived as above on Thursday. On Friday, the 4th, the same paper re ported all the speeches in the House of Lords and part of the Commons, with that night's " Gazette," which reached 25, Lord -street, at Seven o'clock on Saturday, on which evening copies were forwarded to Belfast, where they would arrive in -56 hours ! ! from the time of leaving the SuN Office. We understand, that Mr. Willmer delivers this Paper, in any part of Liverpool, every evening about Seven o'clock.—Liverpool Albion of Monday, May 7. •91 -1 CLARK'S GENERAL OUTFIT- A.• • TING WAREHOUSE, for the EAST and WEST INDIES and SOUTH AMERICA, EXETER 'CHANGE, STRAND. Officers, Cadets, and Writers going to India, and Gen tlemen proceeding to South America, or any other part of the Globe, will find in this Establishment the whole of their Military Appointments, Swords, Chacos, Sashes, Belts, Pistols, &c. together with a large and well-manu factured stock of Sea Cots, Couches, and Bedding ; Cabin Wash-hand Tables, Chairs, and Lamps ; Sea Chests, Mule and Bullock Trunks, and every other description of Travelling Equipage.

All the Articles in this Establishment are warranted, and the excellent plan of fifty years standing is still strictly adhered to, of asking one Ready Money Price, but front which no abatement will he made. THERE is nothing more remarkable in the social habits of the present day, than a general dis regard to the maxims of prudence in regard to health and enjoyment. Hence the vast multitudes who, having ac quired the portion of an enfeebled constitution, are doomed to the class of habitual invalids. Their minds anxious, unsteady or sluggish, and their bodies weak, the natural functions of life are discharged laboriously with pain and difficulty. For this state of nervous 4erangement Dr. SOLOMON'S CORDIAL BALM of GILEAD will be found to have peculiar efficacy, strengthening the languid system, :and shedding new hope on the mind.

Dr. SOLOMON'S GUIDE to HEALTH, which may be consulted as the silent friend in all cases of Debility, 'Loss of Appetite, Consumption, &c. with assured confidence of success, HAMILTONIAN SYSTEM. MR. HAMILTON'S SOLE LONDON ESTABLISHMENT, 25, CECIL-STREET, STRAND. On this systein the task to teacher and pupil is rendered interesting, easy, and pleasing, by analytical translations ; and the progress (with common attention) altogether extraordinary. The whole Course in FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, and SPANISH, con sists of Fifty Lessons, which have been found sufficient for the attainment of any one of these languages, so as to read it with facility, and to write and speak it with grammati cal accuracy. The Course is divided into five Sections of ten lessons each, and to each section a certain positive de gree of proficiency is attributed and guaranteed ; so that if, from any cause whatever, the pupil may not have made the stipulated progress, the lessons are repeated gratuitously until he shall have done so. Each Section is payable in advance, 2/. 10s. for each person, either at Mr. Hamilton's house, or any where in town ; but if in town, the Class must consist of at least five persons. Class is the essence of the system, and the larger the bet ter for pupil as well as teacher ; nevertheless, those persons who are averse to meeting in class, may have private les sons by paying M. the section instead of 21. 10s. The LATIN and GREEK languages are paid for in sections of ten lessons each, in the same manner as the modern lan guages ; but more than five sections are usually necessary to acquire a competent knowledge of them. . . . The industrious student, who is willing to acquire any language by his own effort:, will find that the Keys, pub lished by Mr. Hamilton, will obviate the necessity- of re curring to Grammar or Dictionary for a considerable part of the Course, and will enable him to read and understand the language with facility and grammatical accuracy, in One quarter the time usually devoted to it.

The late rains will be of incalculable benefit to the grass crops, which, there is now every reason to hope, will prove abundant, and save the farmer from a renewal of the distress he has for some months felt, in consequence of the drought of last year.— Worcester Journal. The character of the new Opposition deve loper itself from day to day, in a manner which must gratify its enemies, and mortify its friends, if a body so con temptible can have either friends or enemies in the proper sense of the terms. The annals of Parliament present no example of such a compound of weakness, ignorance, bigotry, rancour, buffoonery, and rabid fury, in the shape of a party. There is hut one way of accounting for the bitterness of spirit these men display, and the deplorable figure they make. They have lost place, which they loved dear; y, and are mortified by the discovery, that to place, and not to talent, all their consequence was owing. Stript of power, shorn of their honours, they look around for sym pathy, and are driven mad by the universal peal of joy which has burst from every part of the empire at the spectacle of their downfal. They utter curses on the press, because it has responded to the public voice, and rung this unwelcome truth in their cars. how they must have been galled by the noble speech of Sir Francis Burdett on Thursday night ! Really the Marquis of Londonderry is the only man that understands the position of the party. His object clearly is, to have the dispute settled by weapons of a kind which are better suited than those of logic, to men who have heads like his, or who are like his friends in a desperate condition.— Scotsman. The Governor and Deputy Governor of the Bank paid another visit to the Treasury on Saturday. A leading capitalist, it is also said, has had interviews with Mr. Canning in the course of the present week. A report is now current, that an intermediate course is to be adopted, between borrowing of the Bank and resorting to the open money-market, and that the capitalist above alluded to, has entered into an engagement to make advances on Exche quer-bills to the amount of 2,000,0001. sterling, with the stipulation that they are not to find their way into general circulation, but to be hald till the period of their arriving at maturity by himself and his friends. These Exchequer bills arc understood to be issued at a premium of 20s. only. 'Whether the arrangement has actually been carried into effect, cannot be stated with certainty ; but there is little doubt that offers of that nature have been made, and that the parties are anxious that they should be accepted. There would be no difficulty in placing bills to the amount stated in permanent keeping, as the bankers generally would avail themselves gladly of such an employment for their deposits. It may have the effect, in the first instance, of increasing the circulation, by bringing out in part the pri vate hoards which haVe been accumulating in the Bank of England, but to a less extent than if the Bank itself sup-. plied the sum wanted, which would b e a c l ear a ddi t i o n to . , . the notes previously CM'CUAldl9l;lipme Timm INQUEST. Saturday afternoon an inquest was held at White chapel workhouse, before Mr. Unwin, the Coroner, on the body of the infant, William Henry Sheen, who was murdered by its father. The body was placed in a shell. The head was completely severed, and the mark of the murderer's fingers were on the face, where he had held it whilst he cut off the head. The first witness was Sarah Pomeroy, of 2, Caroline-court, Lambeth-street. She said that she kept the house where the unfortunate affair happened. On Thursday evening, about half past 7 o'clock, she was sitting in her own apartment, when the mother of the murdered infant came to her and said, " Mrs. Pomeroy, come and see what lily Bill has done; come up stairs for he has cut the child's head off, and it's lying on dee table!" I went up stairs immediately, and the mother followed me, and when I entered the room I saw the head of the child lying on a table, with the face looking to wards the door ; I was so alarmed that $ hurried out of the room as speedily as possible, and procured the assistance of Dalton, an officer ; I again 1 ; e, tup stairs with the officer—the mother followed, and drew the attention of the persons in the room to the marks on the side of the child's head, where the father had struck it with his knuckles, on Sunday 4lorning,— Before I came down I saw the body of the child lying on the bed, with a blue bed-gown.on; I did not hear Sheen come down stairs after ae murder. Ebenezer Dalton, the officer, said, that in conse quence of the alarm raised by the last wtness, he went up into the room where the murder lad been committed, anti found the head on the table, and the body on the bed, covered over with a counter. pane. He made a search then and since, but found no instrument with which the act had been per petrated. Witness, however, is satisfied it liras done with a razor. The mother of the child said, that Bill, meaning her husband, had cut the child's head off. Coroner—Have you any reason to believe that she was accessary to the murder ? Dalton—l think not. The facts were co; tumli cated to the Magistrates ; and Davis, an odic tr, was sent after Sheen, with instructions to. pursue him into Wales, where it is supposed he is gone. In answer to some questions put by the Jury, Dalton said that he thought the child was placed on the table and then murdered. There was a. con siderable quantity of blood on the table, and alo on the floor. Letitia Sheen, the mother of the child, war next examined. She is a young woman, about 26 years of age, and seemed greatly afflicted. She said that on Thursday last, in the early part of the day, her husband and herself, were very comfortable togs ether, and had no words; about two o'clock in the idler noon she went out to visit her mother, and todilt: the child with her, and returned about five o'clock ; she then went to a public house, where her husband was playing at skittles with some other men; he lent his companions, and came home with her ; the child. was with her ; ho sat with her in the apartment till a bout eight o'clock, and then he said he wished to have some tea; she went out to procure some, and left him and the child on the bed; she was out about a quarter of an hour, and on her return saw the child's head lying on the table; her husband was not in the room ; she was greatly- alarmed, hastened •dcrwn stairs, and informed the people in the house, rind the officers, of the ircumstance; she told the officers 'to go to her husband's mother, in White's-yard, Rase mary-lane, as he might be there; she has not seen her husband &mit the time she left him in the room. CORONER—awe you any doubt that he com mitted the murder ? Witness—l have no idoubt that he committeGl the murder; he bad always been kind to the child. You had no concern in the murder, or ever con sented to it ? W itness—Never. William Sheen, the father of the murderer, vas then called. He was in tears the whole time he was under examination. He said, that on Thursday evening, about eight o'clock, his son came, to his house, in White's-yard, Rosttmary-lane ; his coat and hat were off; I asked him if he had been fighting; he said he had with two or three Irishmen, in a skittle-ground, and had struck one of them in the ohoulder with his knife; I walked down with him t, St. Kathe rine's, and I said I would endeavour t o settle the affair; he made no confession to me of having murdered the child. We went together, to the resi dence of a Mr.. Pugh, a cow-keeper, in Carnaby market, to whom he told the same story having fought with the Irishman; I left him in Oxford street, and he said he was going to Barn it, and should remain there until I could settle wi th the Irishman, and he directed me to give him a p e , and if that would satisfy him ; my son had no coat or h, it on when he came to me, but he borrowed one of Mr. Pt John Partridge, one of the Parish Beadles, sa , id, that the coat was found in the apartment where t, 1e murder was committed, and which was supposed tt belong to Sheen; it was stained with blood on the left sleeve and front. When the murderer went away, be had on a brown coat, corded trowsers, a red-plush waistcoat, and silk hat. Dalton said, that he had often seen Sheen in the coat in question. Mr. Pugh, the person alluded to, and his wife,- said, that on Thursday evening, when Sheen and his son came to their house to borrow some money, the son said he had stabbed an Irishman, avid (throwing down a knife), said he had done it With that, ana begged them for God's sake to burn it. [The, knife was here produced. It was a clasp knife, rather blunt, but pointed, and apparently of sur f icient strength to sever the head from the body.]. -The witnesses said there was no blood on it when Si 'leen threw it down; they lent him 10s. Letitia Sheen said, she had seen the knife in qit es• Lion in her husband's possession. This being the whole of the evidence, the Corone briefly summed up, and the Jury instantly returnee a verdict of Wilful Murder against Wm. Sheen, the father of the child. A large reward is offered for the apprehension of Sheen, and Officers have been dispatched in all di rections after him, but their efforts have hitherto been unsuccessful. THE WHITECHAPEL MURDER.---Up to a late hour last night no - account was received from Davis, the efficient officer who was sent in pursuit of Sheen, the murderer of his child. From the activity of Davis, much is expected ; and if rumours are to be believed, he has already traced him for 30 miles beyond town. The of fender is well known to him. Dalton, who has been most active throughout the business, w as yesterday, f rom an ear ly hour until nearly twelve o'clock last n i g ht, mos t indefatigable in hi s pur suit after th e mur d er er; and from the informa tion he has received, the probabilitie s are t h at Sheen may have returned to London. At the Earl of Chesterfield's audit at Bing ham on Monday and Tuesday last, 15 per cent. abatement was made in the rents of his Lordship's tenantry ita that town and neighbourhood.—Lin coin Paper.

An inquest was held on Wednesday last, at the King's Head Inn, West -street, Brighton, touching the death of William Pumphrey, a boy only four teen years old, who was discovered the preceding day hanging in his mother's house. Elizabeth Barnard, the mother of the deceased, was called. The poor woman, who was in the deepest affliction, having somewhat composed herself, de posed as follows :—I am a widow ; my son, the deceased, lived with me; he was fourteen years old in February last. Igo out to washing a few doors off; my son, since he was discharged from his place (they having no further occasion for him), was in the habit of carrying clothes for my mistress; he was there at work till dinner time on Tuesday, and went home with me. I left him in care of two smaller children, and he was to return after tea to his work. I returned home about half past four, and on going into my room, I saw my little boy, about four years old, crying, and the other child asleep on the bed. On looking up, l saw my unfortunate son hanging to the bed-post by a cord, which had been used as a clothes line; the rope was not round his neck, but was only passed under his jaw, it was not a noose but a loop tied. [The marks cn the neck and the manner in which the cord was tied, fully proved this statement.] On seeing him, I directly ran down stairs, and gave the alarm ; my neighbours instantly came in and took him down; he was rubbed with brandy, and every means were tried by Mr. Hargraves, the surgeon, who came immediately on being sent for, but with out effect, as he was quite dead ; I think he did it to frighten the children, and not to destroy himself. I never knew him attempt any thing of the kind be fore. He had that afternoon put up laths to the window to prevent children falling out. [This cir cumstance will account for the deceased sharpening his knife before he went up stairs.] In reply to a question from the Coroner, whether the deceased had seen any prints representing persons hanging, the mother said that a few days since she bought a paper which was cried in the streets, representing 15 or 16 persons hanging, but did not know whe ther the deceased had seen it or not, as she put it in a cupboard. The deceased was perfectly cheerful when she left him at dinner time. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death by strangulation." The Hon. James Abercrombie has been ap pointed Judge-Marshal, and Advocate-General, in the room of the Right Hon. John Beckett, resigned ; and Sir James Macintosh, one of the Commissioners for the Affairs of India, in the room of W. Yates Peel, Esq., resigned. The Earl of Westmorland, who was in such a hurry to run away from office, was not very hasty in relinquishing the patronage. On the 25th April, a fortnight after his resignation, but before he formally gave up the seal to the King, the appointment of Deputy Privy Seal became vacant by the death of the holder, which the Noble Earl took care immediately to fill up. So careful was be lest his successor should be incon venienced, that a few hours after the death of her husband, the widow received a message to know how soon she could quit the official resi dence, and what the appointment was worth.— Morning Paper. DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—A correspondent of the Times says, that the following is the list of favours granted to the Duke and his family by the country : Per annum.

The fire spread through the whole building, and communicated to the valuable granas of Mr. Skerritt, containing flour and corn to an immense amount, and these two extensive properties were totally destroyed. The West of England fire-engine was first on the spot, and the men commenced working with a plenti ful supply of water; but the premises of Mr. Warmslev, slater, and the granary of Mr. Landell, caught fire, and their destruction, at one time, appeared certain; but other engines arrived, and the further advance of the flames was prevented. The premises of Messrs. Tylee and Skerritt soon fell in with a tremendous crash, and presented a heap of burning ruins. By the active exertions of Mr. Phea sant, and a number of other persons connected with the wernises, the horses in the stables, and an iron chest, q'hich was deposited in the counting-house, containing va luabie papers, and money to some amount, were rescued froi ar destruction. Mr. Tyke is insured in the British and Atlas Fire-offices for 4,0001. not more than half the loss h e hfs,ts sustained. Mr. Skerritt is insured in the Phoenix ; and 117. r. Stevens, sack-collector, is insured in the West of England for 3001. not half the amount of his loss. Mr. Warmsley's premises, and Mr. Landell's granary are greatly damaged ; the former is insured in the Sun. The engines continued playing the whole of yesterday. During the day a wall fell in, and caused some consternation, as several firemen were at work immediately under it. Fortunately, however, they all escaped unhurt, with the exception of one, who was knocked down by a door, which fell on him in so peculiar a manner as to save him from certain death. He was taken from under it not materially injured. DISTRESSING AND DETERMINED SUICIDE. —About four o'clock on Saturday, an extraordinary sen sation was created in Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, in con sequence of a gentleman, named Brickell, lodging at the house of Mr. Cover, a builder, No. 12, in the above street, p r ecipitating himself from the window of the attic into the ' ea rriage-way. He was immediately taken up, and con arel 'ed into the house in a shockingly bruised state, and Mr, Shepherd, surgeon, of Hatton-garden, was sent for, who, on examination, ascertained, that both the lower jaws were fractured, and chest and neck dreadfully in jured, but no limbs were broken. Soon after the sur geon's arrival Mr. Brickell recovered his senses for a short time, an 1, by signs, signified his regret at the rash act, and repeated', I' pressed his hands to his chest and stomach. Notwitlnit anding every attention was paid him, he lingered in the Brea, test agony, until 12 o'clock at night, when he ex pired. Thy ' deceased, who was an attorney, had occupied apartments r n Mr. Cover's house for the last 18 mouths, during which time he had been transacting business for Mr. King, a Solid' tor, living in Hatton-garden. On Monday last he was seis, ld with an attack of St. Anthony's fire, which so materi: illy affected his eyes, that he b egan t o en tertain fears of th, e loss of sight, which he declared he never could survive. 'I he night previous to th e comm itt a l o f th e , rash act, he was ht •Ird pacing his b e d- room w ith a hur ried step, and in t 'le morning he gave a roost incoherent detail of what he 1 lad heard and seen during the night. During the forenoon he was more composed, and about three o'clock he toe, k a bacon of bread and milk, after which he expressed a se, ish to be left undisturbed, saying he thought he could slee t i. He then returned to the front attic, and locked himself, in, and in about half au hour the melancholy catastrophe t ook place. The deceased was about 34 years of age, and , of particularly parsimonious ha bits—at times mending his "q 1 ch 'thee and stockings; and had actually provided hime 2 1f wit h the requisites for re pairing shoes.

The result of the late meitiores is still more un -1 certain ; and, were it not for the energy of Aga Pacha, the prime mover of all that has taken place, the prevailing anarchy would threaten the i very existence of the empire. An English tra ' yeller, recently arrived from Smyrna, and who left Constantinople early. in February, informs us that several hundred heads were struck off weekly before his departure, adding that a com plete system of terror prevailed in the capital. My informant represents Aga Pacha as a very extraordinary character, and says he is regarded as almost a supernatural being by the lower classes, who are further impressed with a notion that all the late calamities have been inflicted by heaven, as a punishment for the cruelties exer cised during the last six years on the Greeks f An event has occurred since writing the above, which is likely to give a very sudden and pros perous turn to the affairs of Greece. I allude to the arrival of General Church, who readied Cerigo some days ago, and landed at Ponto Keli on the evening of the 9th of March. You will recollect that this officer has the merit of having organized the Greek regiments taken into Bri tish pay when we first occupied the lonian Islands. He succeeded admirably in that diffi cult task, and is, without exception, one of the most popular men in Greece, more especially among the military. Indeed, nearly all the leaders who have distinguished themselves dur ing the war were either Captains or Subaltern 'in his regiment. His presence has therefore been anxiously wished for during the last four years, and I have reason to know that several most pressing letters were sent to the General to that effect. His landing at Ponto Keli, a beautiful har bour near Spezzia, was no sooner announced here, than Colocotroni, accompanied by Count Metaxa and a number of other leaders, together with a large body of military, set off to welcome his arrival and conduct him to this place. You will be able to form some idea of Gen. Church's popularity here, when I add, that the Moreot Chieftain and his friends set out from this at midnight. They arrived at the point of disembarkation about four in the morning. Happening to be present, I witnessed the meeting. Nothing could be more gratifying to an Englishman, or more flattering to the feelings of our distinguished countryman. Colocotroni embraced him with the greatest af fection , close to the Greek banner, while the soldiery formed a circle round it, and fired three volleys of musketry with great precision. After • reproaching the General for having so long de !ayed his visit to Greece, Colocotroni turned to their old companions in arms, who stood around them, and said—" Our father (o patirmas ) has at length arrived, we have only to obey him Ind Greece will soon be free." This short ad- Iress was answered by loud buzzes, after which the General invited his friends to rest themselves in a small cottage close to the pont. An hour having passed in taking refreshments, end conversing on various subjects connected with the past and present state of Greece. The sun had scarcely risen, when the ca valcade, formed of about three hundred, of whom fifty were mounted on fine Arab chargers, set off towards this place. Our road lay through a charming country, - for the most part in a high state of cultivation, .and present ing some beautiful prospects of land and sea on every side. Previous to entering the town, a numerous detachment, 'drawn up on the road side, discharged several volleys; and presented Arms as we passed. On approaching nearer, we round a great portion of the inhabitants, inclu- Eng all ages and both sexes, collected to receive their new visitor, who was greeted with acclama tion as he passed. When we alighted at the quarters of Colocotroni, the latter appeared on the terrace, and informed the populace, who were standing around in great numbers, that he congratulated them on the arrival of an English officer, with whom he had fought and bled in the field of honour, and one who, by his well known sympathy in favour of the common country, not less than by his wise counsels and military talents, was, he hoped, destined to rescue ;hem from all their difficulties. The whole of the Deputies and Military Chiefs collected here soon after paid their re peas to the General, and seemed to vie with each other in expressions of satisfaction at his arrival. Such has been the reception of this officer ; and when the fact of his giving up more ban one situation of emolument and trust, for h e sole purpose of serving an unfortunate people not only without reward, but without the pros oecto of one, is contrasted with the conduct of others, it would be extremely unjust to deny ,hat need of praise so much generosity and dis nterest edness deserves. With respect to the mode in which General Church's talents may be made available to Greece ;hat will course depend on the turn of the ,legociation.s with the Porte. Should the pro posed mediation be rejected, those who are ac vainted with the internal resources of this coun try, and the cap bilities of the people, if once orga aised, have no hesitation in asserting that the Turks might be soon driven out, and a good system of governn: , :nt established.

YEMEN/ Some importance has been attached in the city to the interview which the Governor and the Deputy-Governor of the Bank had yeste r d ay with Mr. Canning, as it is known that those gentlemen are usually consulted on the financial 'lan of the year. It is generally believed that no alteration whatever will be made in the plan proposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman's pre decessor, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that arrangements were yesterday made for con tinuing the Sinking L' and to its present extent for the remainder of the year. The policy of drawing on the Bank for the -whole of the defi ciency created by the decline of the'Revenue, at a time when its engagements with the Govern ment are already so fatensive, is much disputed, and leads to frequent discussion in the city ; but the only argument in its favour appears to be, that by applying to the Bank alone the public are left in entire ignorance what the real deli - ciencieL; of the Government arc, which would be disclosed by thliing the_ opposite coarse.-•- Times.
