MANCUNIENSIS is deferred until to-morrow, for want of space, having been in type for two days. 4 1 'llafM ijr 14114 LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1834. We are glad to find by the motion of Mr. C. FERGUSSON last night, that the claims of Cap tain Ross have at length been formally recog nised by government. If a gallant navigator like this is not worthy of national encouragement, we should be glad to know who is ? Mr. Con- DETT opposed the claims of Captain Ross, and this on the score of economy ! We cannot sym pathize with such a narrow view of the question. Had Captain Ross unfortunately perished i❑ the Arctic regions, we have little doubt that a public monument would have been erected to his me. mory ; why then should he be less worthy of honour, because he happens to have survived his perils ? Sir ANDREW AGNEW'S motion respecting the better observance of the Sabbath stands, we perceive, for this evening. If his bill he the same as he attempted last year to carry through the House of Commons, we hope it may meet with the same fate. Under a specious and studied affectation of extending and strengthen ing the religious feelings of the community, it conceals the germs of the rankest hypocrisy. But we find, on referring to the Parliamentary notices of motions, that it is not a single bill our indefatigable Saint intends to introduce this time, but a whole cluster of them. Defeat, in stead of moderating, has only had the effect of increasing his officiousness. We subjoin the bill of fare with which he proposes to treat the House this evening, verbatim, as we find it in the official document of the day : 1. Sir Andrew Agnew—Bill or Bills to promote the ob. servance of the Lord's Day. 2. 'Sir Andrew Agnew—Bill to explain and amend certain Acts relative to the observance of the Sabbath Day in Scotland. 3. Sir Andrew Agnew—Bill to enable the local authorities to change Saturday and Monday Fairs and Markets to other days. 4. Sir Andrew Agnew—ln all Railroad Bills, and all other Bills, whether public or private, to move, where neces. eau, a clause to protect the observance of the Lord's Day. If this prodigious array of cant does not clear the house, then must it collectively and individually possess a :patience and faculty of endurance to which even 3013 was a stranger. We should like to know from what authority Sir A NDREA AGNEW derives his credentials to revolutionize the Lord's Day ! We believe him sincere in his intentions ; but at the same time this can be no justification for his introducing measures by wholesale, whose only effect can be to increase the spread of insince rity. Because he is virtuous, " shall there be no more cakes and ale. Yea, by St. Andrew, and ginger shall be hot in the mouth too." The Saint's mouth has been tolerably well tickled with this spice already, and we suspect he will be compelled to swallow a few more mouthfuls. Lord JOHN RUSSELL has at length alluded to the appointment of the Rev. Mr. GLEIG, and stated last night that in filling up the office of Chaplain to Chelsea Hospital he had, agree ably to the Royal warrant, looked solely to the services performed by that gentleman. These services are two-fold. He served abroad as ensign or lieutenant, but in what way his ser vices in either of these grades could fit him for filling the sacred office of a minister of the church, we are at a loss to imagine. In our humble opinion, the chaplain of a regiment would be more fitted for such an employment, but probably no one could be found with the same violent political feelings displayed by he present occupant against the Government These now rorin a paavort to prefermetk and we put it to the Noble Lord, whether, but for his political writings, the appointment would have taken place ? Sir HENRY HARDINGE contrasted the conduct of the Whig and Tory press, and asked if any such paltry, contemptible spleen had been manifested by the latter on the appointments of Dr. GREY to Bisliopsgate, and Mr. ABERCROMBIE to the office of Chief Baron in Scotland, by the Duke of WELLINGTON. The gallant officer could not be serious in these allusions. Dr. GREY, if we are not mistaken, is much more of a Tory than a Whig : and the mild and amiable political conduct of Mr. ABER CROMBIE made him alike respected by both parties. Was there, besides, no per sonal motive for the Duke's conduct, and how could it be supposed that any poli tical writer would raise an outcry a paltry, contemptible" outcry—against his Grace for doing what he was bound to do—provide for the son of a gallant and unfortunate brother in arms who had fallen in his country's service ? There is no comparisoH between the two cases, and could Lord JOHN RUSSELL have adduced any such reasons for the preferment of Mr. GLEIG, the public would have applauded rather than blamed his conduct. Mr. COBBETT loses no opportunity of show ing his hostility towards the body to which he once belonged, and more particularly towards the common soldier. On a former occasion, he complained of the high pay (14d. a day) which a soldier received, and last night he made a simi lar complaint about the retiring pensions granted to men who had endured every hardship, and risked their lives in defence of their country, for such a miserable remuneration—a retiring pension of fourpence a clay, as in the good old times, he considered, was quite sufficient. Like a celebrated old general, he is constantly adverting to the scenes of his youth, but his allusions have all the malignity of Therbites, without a particle of the kindly feel ings of the venerable Nestor. There are some persons, however, whose mental aberrations are such, that they have the greatest dislike for those whom they are most bound to love and cherish. The Hon. Member, on another occa sion, called on the House to reduce the half pay of officers, but last night went a step further, and moved that all foreigners who had served in the British army, should be struck off the pension list. Four members divided with him I What an idea foreign nations would have of public faith in this country if our statesmen should follow the advice of the hon, member for Oldham! THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. We have no arrivals this morning; not even a ship letter has been received. THE FUNDS. A great bustle took place late yesterday afternoon on 'Change, and at the Stock Exchange, caused by a letter from Falmouth, dated eleven o'clock Sunday morning, which appeared in an evening paper, stating the arrival there of the Pikc from Lisbon, bringing much more cheering accounts of the con stitutional cause, also that an engagement had taken place on Sunday afternoon before Santarem, in which the Miguelites were completely defeated. In the first place we must remark, that we have no authentic accounts as yet of her arrival, although it was generally reported on 'Change that the Pike had arrived; therefore it is evident that the above evening paper must have been hoaxed or imposed upon. The moment the paper was perused at the North and South American Coffee-house by a member of the Stock Exchange, he immediately proceeded to the house, and gave it as his opinion that it was an imposi tion on that paper; and all the members agreed to close their books, and do no business until the truth of this letter was ascertained. Secondly, we must caution the public, that of late the order of the day in the City and Stock Exchange is gambling to a great extent in Portuguese and Spanish Bonds, and various manoeuvres are resorted to, according to the interest of the spe culating parties in the above stocks, to deceive the public. Great sensation is experienced this morning, particularly by those who have been made dupes by this imposition on the said evening paper, and we do not believe that the public has experienced any severe losses, owing to its being detected at an early period. . . . French Papers, received this morning by express, do not contain any news of importance, foreign or domestic. It ap pears that the Queen Regent of Spain has conferred the order of the Golden Fleece on his Majesty the King of Great Britain and the King of the French. _ _ _ By accounts from Bayonne, it also appears that Don Carlos, in his turn, has been conferring decorations on the Archbishop of Toledo. A Carlist movement is hourly expected in Valencia, and discontent prevails in Catalonia.

The general topic of conversation on 'Change entirely re lates to the imposition practised upon an evening paper respecting the news from Portugal received by the Pike. We understand that a regular express from Falmouth, with a parcel, came to the office, with a letter in the handwriting of their cor respondent ; but, up to the present time, we do not hear of any fresh arrivals. We have neither reports nor political news. Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morning, when they were 91 34 ; at present they may be quoted 91 % sellers, with little doing.

The pyramid was originally covered with plaster or mortar, which made the surface even, and thus rendered the ascent so difficult as to be accounted by the ancients a great feat : this plaster having now fallen off, the ascent is easy. The parishioners of Putney and Roehampton have presented their late minister, the Rev. Henry St. ♦ndrew St. John, M.A., with a handsome salver and epergne, in testimony of their respect and esteem, and in grateful acknowledgment of the faithful discharge of his ministerial duties during the thirteen years of his residence amongst them. This circumstance is equally gratifying a s well to the inhabitants of Putney and Roehampton as to their late incumbent. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, Tills DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 11. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve. Mr. PONSONBY brought up the report of the committee on the Pool-bridge (Dorsetshire) petition, and obtained leave to bring in a bill. Mr. CARTWRIGHT moved the secon reading of the Old Stratford Bridge Bill. Mr. MADOCKS brought in a bill for establishing mar kets in the town of Fishyard, Pembrokeshire. Mr. NEELD brought up the report of the committee on the Chifney (Wiltshire) Improvement Bill. Mr. MACLEOD brought up the report of the committee on the Dalkeith railway petition. Mr. MAX WELL presented a petition from certain inhabi tants of Glasgow, against the bill for supplying the city and suburbs of Glasgow with water. The petitioners complained that the rate charged by the company, upon householders, would be much too high.—Referred to the committee on standing orders. Mr. OLIPHANT brought up the report of the committee on the Perth harbour navigation petition. BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAY. Sir R. VYVYAN moved the third reading of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway Bill. The bill was read a third time, and passed. SirW. CHAYTOR moved the second reading of the Hartle pool Railway Bill. The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted. DISSENTERS' GRIEVANCES. Dr. LUSHINGTON said he was anxious in presenting the petitions which he held in his hand, to occupy as little of the time of the house as possible, conceiving that the demands upon their time were numerous and important, but he also conceived that it was part of his duty to state who were the petitioners who had signed the present petition, for though it was a matter very familiar, yet it was of the greatest im portance to that house and the country, and especially ►o to those gentlemen who took an interest in the sub. ject, to know what it was that the petitioners required. The petition was signed by the general body of dis senting ministers of the great denominations residing in and about London, composing a body of as respectable and intelli. gent persons as were to be found of any denomination in the kingdom. They prayed for a separation of Church and State (Hear, hear)—and they avowed their conviction that the union between them could not be beneficial to the cause of Christianity. With this proposition he did not agree, and, except in a case of absolute necessity, he thought it would be better to abstain from discussing it.—(Hear.) They also stated what they considered the principal practical grievances under which they laboured, viz., a want of general registration, the difficulties in the solemnization of marriages, the difficul. ties in the burial of their dead, their exclusion from the uni versities, and their liabilities to the payment of rates and other compulsory levies for the maintenance of the established church. He considered it the duty of that house to apply a remedy to these grievances as far as they consistently could. When the subject should be regularly brought forward, he trusted that both sides of the house would unite most heartily in their endeavours to co-operate in one common object— (Hear, hear)—and not allow themselves, however strong their feelings might be, to be led away, but to obtain that most desir. able conciliation which was so necessary both for churchmen and dissenters. Mr. HARVEY said the subjects treated of in the petition were of very great importance to a most respectable and valuable part of the community. It was important that the house should understand what were the feelings of the non-conformists body, and also that a petition, coming from an apparently authorized body, should not have legs importance attached to it than it deserved. With reference, however, to the assertion, that the dissenters did not desire a separation of the Church and State, although they spoke of the union as not being necessary towards the support of Christianity, he must protest against such a speculative dogma ; for so it was if they did not regard the union as an article of their faith. He fully concurred in the desire to obtain for the Dissenters a redress of all their practical grievances, and hoped the hon. and learned gentleman opposite (Dr. Lushillg ton) would lend them his most powerful support. Mr. WILKS said, that having the honour to be acquainted with many of those individuals who signed this petition, he felt that he should not do justice to them if he did not express the high sense he entertained of their learning, influence, and piety.—(Hear, hear.) His learned friend had spoken of them in terms of respect which no one who knew them could avoid, but he was apprehensive that the house would not understand from the manner in which he had ad verted to them the real weight of their opinions. The whole non.conformist body were scattered throughout this empire and America, and had been in existence nearly two centuries ; the petitioners were composed of the dissenting ministers of the independent Baptist and Presbyterian denominations of this metropolis and within ten miles of London. They were not only entitled to respect on account of their individual intel ligence, but he would take the liberty of saying that when it was recollected that every one of them had been educated for the Christian Ministry, and selected for that office by a large and respectable body of the community, such men after meet ing together, and discussing, did not merely express their own opinion, but gave expression to the sentiments of the vast, he might say, innumerable body of intelligent, wealthy, and influ ential protestant dissenters in this metropolis ; therefore, what ever sentiment they expressed might be considered as the ex pression of the body at large, and whatever grievance was com plained of by them, the house might be assured might be uni versally complained of also, and therefore entitled to the consideration of the house. Much as he respected the manly spirit of his learned friend, whose love of liberty might lead him to consider the severance from church and state ought to be effected, he begged to say the Dissenters of the metropolis did not wish to make that a prominent subject now, but rather to confine themselves to practical grievances. He fully concurred in many of the observations the learned civilian who presented the petition, and would remark that the petitioners having com. mitted it to his hands knowing that he was connected with the church, showcd they were confident of the justice of their claims. This subject would require extensive consideration, and he regretted that vacillation which perplexed the house, and created dissatisfaction amongst the Dissenters out of doors. He was sorry to find that a member of the administration had brought forward a measure, which he was sure would meet with universal disapprobation.—(Loud cries of" Hear, hear.") He regretted also that another subject had been taken out of his hands, by a proposition for an universal national civil registration ; he was also sorry that the question of church rates, another vital subject, was postponed to so late a period in the session. These questions were all intimately connected with each other, and ought to be discussed in continuity, and he feared the manner in which they were treated would cause much trouble to many members of the house, and occasion his Majesty's ministers to loose much of that attac hment which protestant dissenters had hitherto evinced towards them. Mr. SANDFORD considered that the petition of the hon. member was an official one. The grievances under which the Dissenters laboured were very great; and he hoped the house would apply a remedy. Those disabilities disunited the Dis senters from the Established Church, and it was the duty of the Legislature to remove them. He was anxious for one general discussion upon that subject ; taking it by piece. meal was not productive of advantage, He heard from every part of the country which he represented, that the bill about to be introduced for the relief of Dissenters gave no satis. faction. Mr. BAINES did not think that the union of church and state was one which the petition considered as an important point ; he imagined that it was merely a theoretical opinion, and not one which was urged upon the legislature as requiring immediate consideration. The hon. member here rea d a peti. tion from Dissenters, in which they reserved the discussion of separation between church and state for a future time. An HON. MEMBER, whose name we could not learn, begged leave to make a few observations upon the question before the house. Without pretending to know all the details of the measure which the noble lord had introduced, he could assure the house that it was not at all satisfactory to the feelings of the respectable body to which he belonged. The noble lord was not perhaps aware of the vast number of Roman Catholics inhabiting the county of Lancaster. In the town of Liverpool there were 60,000 Catholics, and in the town of Lancaster there were upwards of 40,000. The greater number of these were persons who had come over from Ireland, where they were in the habit of having the marriage ceremony performed according to the rites of their own church, and it was utterly impossible to per suade them to go through the form of the ceremony again in order to legalize their marriages. If he properly understood the measure of the noble lord (the Paymaster of the Forces) there would be an interference on the part of the Established Church on that point. The very publication of bans, to the omission of which he believed some penal enactment attached —(Hear, hear) would not be submitted to by these people. They were of the poorer class, and their prejudices were invincible. He did not think that when a measure of conciliation was brought forward it should be clogged by any clauses which would defeat the object of the boon. Ile hoped the bill would be amended in committee.—(Hear, hear.) ' Mr. FRYER had been requested to support the prayer of the petition. He acknowledged all the disabilities under which the dissenters laboured, but he would never agree to any separa tion of church and state. Mr. SHEIL thought it was a remarkable circumstance that notwithstanding the petitioners stated they did not at present pray for any separation, they at the outset of their peti tions, lay down that abstract doctrine, and appear to attribute all their grievances to the connection between church and state. Although they abstained from calling for separation, it was quite manifest that they called the attention of the house to the source of the evils under which they la boured. The dissenters would not be contented with the bill of the noble lord the paymaster of the forces. If the dis senters were relieved from church rates, why should they not from tithes ? If they would not be legally called on to raise the edifice, why should they be required to support the minis ter who performed service in it ?—(Hear, hear.) Mr. STANLEY (Cheshire) said he considered the question of a separation between church and state, as affecting the mem bers of the church of England as much as the dissenters. He would say that the dissenters would be right in attributing the evils under which they laboured to the existence of a dominant church if they saw the noble lord (Russell), who had been their constant support through the whole of his life—if they saw that he withdrew his measure of relief in deference to the church of England ; if the saw their just demands thus resisted by the church, and their relief rendered incompatible with the existence of the connection between church and state, they would be right, he would repeat, in attributing their grievances to this connection, and calling upon that house to put an end to it as incompatible with the liberties of the country. But if the government and the house relieved the dissenters from the dis abilities they prayed to be relieved from, then it was clear that the honour of church and state was not incompatible with the rights and just demands of the people of England. They ought to accede to those demands whilst they could do so, and not by putting off the relief to the last moment render the dissenters the irreconcilable enemies of the esta blishment.—(Hear.) Colonel EVANS begged leave to say that the body of dissen ters was extremely dissatisfied with the nature of the bill brought into that house by the noble paymaster of the forces. His constituents concurred in the prayer of the petition, and he would only express a hope that if the noble lord, Russell, should be prevented from bringing in a bill that would satisfy the claims of the dissenters, that the hon. and learned member, (Dr.Lushington) would impose upon himself the important duty of proposing a bill that would be more satisfactory to that nu. merous and enlightened body. Mr. HA RCOURT (we understood) said he had a petition of a similar kind from some of his constituents, but not having yet an opportunity of presenting it, he would take the present opportunity of expressing his concurrence in the prayer of the petition now before the house. He was of opinion, that all the grievances under which the dissenters laboured might be remedied without a separation of church and state. Un doubtedly there were many difficulties at present in the way, but with proper attention they might be removed; he, how ever, thought that the bill now before tee house would not be satisfactory, unless its provisions were of a more enlarged chamber. Sir R. VYVYAN expressed his regret that so many opinions as had been expressed this morning upon so important a subject should have been allowed to pass without their having been replied to. He rose for the purpose of answering an ob servation of the hon. member for Cheshire (AIL E. J. Stanley). That hon. member had said that if the members of the church of England would not give way and assent to the removal of the grievances under which the dissenters laboured, then the connection between church and state ought to be abolished. — (Hear, hear, hear.) He (Sir Richard Vyvyan) begged leave to say, in reply, that even if the members of the es tablished church refused to give way, that was no argument for the dissolution of the connection between church and state. The principles of the connection had long been admitted and recognized, and had descended to us from our forefathers as part of the established law of the land. He deeply regretted, that in the present petition the dissenters had avowed their future intention of attacking that connection.—(Cries of "No," and " Hear.") The hon. baronet here read a portion of the petition in support of his assertion; it stated, that their specific grievances arose from all the patronage of the church being bestowed on one religious community—(Hear, hear)-- and almost all the gentlemen who advocated the removal of the specific practical grievances used the words "at present," and " now." If the present practical grievances be removed, what guarantee had the house that next session the dissenters would not come and apply for a separation of Church and State? Mr. STANLEY, in explanation, said, he had only said he considered the mention of the connection_of Church and State as a mere speculative opinion; and, with regard to their se paration, he had merely said it would only be required when it should be proved that the existence of the connection was in compatible with the obtaining for so large a portion► of our fellow subjects their reasonable and just rights. If upon the, removal of the specific grievances there should exist no other practical grievance, then he could not agree to any speculative measure, for dissolving the connection. Colonel EVANS was about to make some remarks, when The SPEAKER rose to order, and sail the discussion was very desultory, amounting to no more than one hon. gentleman saying he thought one thing, and one another. Sir RICHARD VYVYAN, in explanation, said his object was to show the country the sentiments expressed at these morning sittings ought not to be considered as emanating from a full house. Mr. HAWKES, the new member for Dudley, was here in troduced by Sir H. J. Hardinge, and took the oaths and his seat on the opposition side. Mr. SINCLAIR said the hon. member opposite had faith fully pointed out what the real object of the dissenters was, and proved to the house that nothing else would satisfy them but the separation of church and state. It was true they did not demand that now—they were too prudent—they wished to put it off, and to content themselves with some minor mat ters; but why did they act so? Because they knew they would not succeed at present, and because they required those other things as so many stepping stones to the other object. Dr. LUSHINGTON contended that the Dissenters had a right to maintain their opinions, and if they conceived that the connection hetween church and state was hostile to the interests of Christianity, they were perfectly justified in coming forward and stating that. He would repeat, that nothing short of a proper and general system of registration would satisfy the Dissenters, and it would be in vain to satisfy them by the mea sure of the noble lord, the Paymaster of the Forces. With re ference to what had fallen from the hon. and learned member for Tipperary, he would observe, that the question of tithes was not introduced in the petitions of the Dissenters ; and he trusted that such a question would not be raised on the present occasion. The hon. member then presented a petition from the Dissenters of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, also from the parish of Bow; to the same effect ; and a petition from a place in Der. byshire, praying for the better observance of the Sabbath. Mr. PONSONBY supported the prayer of the petitions. Sir R. VYVYAN explained. He had said nothing in oppo. salon to the claims of the dissenters. Sir G. STAUNTON thought that the measure introduced by the noble lord would not be satisfactory to the country ; the only way to set the question at rest would be to make marriages a civil contract. The hon. member then presented petitions from the dissenters of the towns of Wearmouth, Ringwood, and Christchurch. Mr, STRUTT presented two petitions from the parishes of St. Peter's and St. Michael's, Derby, for the better observance of the Sabbath. The hon. member presented two other peti tions from the parish of Mailing, in Derbyshire, deprecating a dissolution of the union of Church and State, or any inter. ference with the Church without the consent of those who presided over its interests. The same HON. MEIIBER presented two petitions from Leamington Priors, complaining that the names of the peti tioners had been improperly, and without their consent and knowledge, attached to certain petitions which had been pre sented to that house, and praying that inquiry should be made into the same. The hon. member moved that the petitions should be referred to the committee already appointed to in. quire into the authenticity of certain signatures attached to a petition praying that the constituency of Leamington Priors should be annexed to the borough of Warwick.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE►. TAT TF,RSALL' S. The room was very numerously attended yesterday. The alteration in the relative positions of the two Derby favourites (predicted by us last week) has taken place, but sooner and snore definitively than we had expected; although the New. market people express an unfavourable opinion of Bubastes, the change in the odds can only be attributed to the influence of money, which is now all in favour of Bentley. Shelelah was backed in two or three quarters at 15 to 1, and a shade above that was readily taken about Olympic.

PORT OF DOVER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN Ste—ln consequence of the frequent interruption to the l it 4. tercourse between Dover and the Continental harbours, Oiling: from the bar which constantly forms itself at the mouthos and Dover Harbour when the wind is at south o r soutb_west n ( t n d these winds prevail half the year), a memorial has sie en seat! his Majesty, petitioning for assistance. In this memoria from Dover it was not stated that the Cal ais and Bobuloola packets ran to Ramsgate when Dover Harbour t . between up, and that, in fact, no interruption took place in course between England and the Continent, but cin t of the Dover and the Continent, so that, in fact, the objec ..e . _ .te. memorialists was to identify Dover with the inercantl! in facts rest, the shipping interest, the general interest, when, it was only the Dover interest that was considered. , ,„.. particuia . s Before the nation, and the shipping Interest in it is Web' are put to expense for mere experiments, e' idea incumbent to ascertain whether no other Port exempt from the inconveniences to which Dover hour is subjected, and although the Guardian and Pu Ledger, seeing with the eyes of Dover people, has been pleased: to say that " Ramsgate harbour is insufficient for the accona, modation of much shipping, even if the pier were not a da gerous experiment to attempt the entrance of vessels in storillncyj he inter. weather," yet the startling fact, that upwards of 400 sa f merchantmen and coasters were at that very period lying sntn, in Ramsgate harbour and basin, is sufficient to prove the editor must have been grossly imposed upon. Ramsgate harbour, with the basin, encloses upward fl e et is s of forty acres. Its capability, th ere f ore , o f sheltering a large too palpable for any d e l us i on. At the end of last January, upwards of 250 vessels were in the basin, which is separated the from the outer harbour, and during the three mon ths these vessels were weather-bound, the water was retained - basin, so that the vessels were kept constantly afloat; Rarns• gate Harbour is therefore " not insufficient for the accommo• dation of much shipping." The only casualty which occurred during this winter from vessels running for Ramsgate Harbour, was to a small Veldt sloop, and this entirely arose from bad seamanship. hero male several attempts to benefit by a temporary shift of wind to proceed on their destination, but were driven back an d coin' polled to re-enter the harbour. About thirty of these v essels were three-masted ships, foreigners, of large burdens ; it co uld not, therefore, be " a dangerous experiment to attempt the e ll• trance in stormy weather." It is of great importance, though not generally known, the packets must leave Calais or Bolougne at certain times of the tide to reach Dover before low water, or they cannot enter, sue It should also be observed that many vesse l s sheltering the passengers are then compelled to land in boats, which la very disagreeable, and this is the case at Dover from whatever quarter the wind blows. On the other hand, as Ramsgate har bour may be entered at any time of the tide, it is of little MI" portance when the steam-vessel leaves the continental port. Ramsgate is distant about thirty-twomiles from Calais, which is eight miles, or about three quarters of an hour's longer run than from Calais to Dover. It is about forty miles fro m Boulogne, also eight miles further than Dover; on the otter hand, Ramsgate is eight miles nearer to Ostend. In fact, th e mere distance would be a trifle hardly worth insisting 1 1 1 )(44 since the discovery of steam navigation, were it not tha t a u r y as national expense is to be incurred, or a tax on the maritime interest, for the purpose of endeavouring to make a harbour, el p consideration suitable for the constant intercourse between this cou ntry an the Continent, when a port emi nen tly ca lculated for that pur • The pose already exis. members to parliament.
