A Meeting of the Holders of Portuguese Bonds was held this day at the George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, for the purpose of hearing the proposition made by the Portuguese Government to liquidate the claims of .the Bondholders, and the reply prepared by parties,representing a large•portion of the loans. Sir I.l.44.GoLpsuu) took She Chair, and said he had taken the, liberty. of .calling them together in con sequence of a communication which he had received from the Portuguese Government in reply to his letter. The last letter to them stated that he would be glad to have any communication the Government might think proper to make, in order that he might submit it to the Bondholders. He had received that commu nication, and he had taken considerable pains to ascer tain the sentiments of the Bondholders upon it, as many of them could not attend, in order to determine upon the line of conduct the Bondholders ought to pursue. He then came forward to tell them that he had heard those statements, and they were satisfactory to him. The original loan was 700,0001., and he had got the concurrence of the holders of 600,000/. for the line of conduct which he recommended. There still remained a number of Bondholders who held from 100,0001. to 150,000/. of bonds, and the" present meeting was called for the purpose of consulting their opinions. If they differed from the line he proposed he should be most happy to represent their .interests to the best of his power to the Portuguese Government.—(Hear, hear.) He would take the liberty of-reading the communication, which had been made to him by the Portuguese Go vernment, and also the answer which he had prepared, after which he would make a few observations upon it. The first letter was signed Barao do Tojal, and was as folllws PROPOSAL 1.--(TRANSLATION.)—That the Govern ment of her Most Faithful Majesty engageS to de posit at "the Bank of England the bonds they might receive from Brazil, conformably to the terms of the Convention of the 22d July last, which bonds amount to the nominal sum of 732,0001., and to apply the in terest thereon, at five per cent. per annum, to the payment of the dividends of the provisional fund of 1836, and in like manner the balance of that interest, land the sinking fund which Brazils is also to pay to the redemption at par by contos, of the said fund of 1836, giving to the same the value of 10 per cent. over the maximum of 90 per cent., fixed in the re spective contract as a compensation for the arrears which on the Ist December next will amount to 21+ per cent., and would thus come to be paid at the real value of 50 per cent. That in default of payment by Brazils of the sink ing fund for the said redemption at par, the Govern ment of her Most Faithful Majesty engages to con tribute annually the sum of 17,5001., being the amount of the half dividend they are now paying on the 700,0001. of the fund of 1836; and that as soon as by the progress of the redemption effected by these means, and by the increasing amount of in terest on the bonds of Brazils, the deposit on these securities will stand in the proportion of 1211. ss. to every 1001. Bonds of 1836. The Government of her Most Faithful Majesty engages further to make the exchange of one kind of Bonds for the other in the said proportion, that is to say, to deliver 1211. ss. Brazilian Bonds deposited for every 1001. Bonds of 1836, with the arrears accumulated thereto, which brings their value to the same nominal amount of 1211. ss. on the Ist December of this year. That in the event of the Bondholders not agreeing to this inversion at that time, the Government of her Most Faithful Majesty will continue to contribute the same sum of 17,5001. towards the redemption afore said, withdrawing, however, thenceforward and suc cessively from the deposit all the sums in the Bra zilian Bonds that will exceed the stated proportion of 1251. ss. for every 1001. Bonds of 1836, with the ar rears accumulated thereto. That the Government will withdraw the balance of the deposit remaining as soon as the fund of 1836 is totally redeemed. Public Treasury, 31st October, 1842. (Signed) BARAO DO TOJAL. A true translation from the original. G. C. de BRITO, Sec. to the Agency. PROPOSAL IL—TRANSLATION. Should the Bondholders of 1836 prefer to the de posit and manner of payment established by the Ist proposal, the immediate application and appropriation of the Brazilian bonds, the Government of her Most Faithful Majesty engages to deliver to them the said bonds, for the same real value of 622,7021., for which they are to be received from Brazils, considering as redeemed with this sum, and the equivalent portion of the principal of the fund of 1836, cealulated at the maximum price of 90 per cent. That for the balance of the principal and for the amount of the interest accumulated on the whole 700,000/. bonds, up to the Ist of December, 1842, the Government of Most Faithfid Majesty binds itself to issue in exchange thereof, an equal nominal amount in the New Inverted Bonds, authorised by the decree of the 2d of November, 1840. Public Treasury, 31st October, 1842. (Signed.) " BAR AO DO TOJAL." A true translation from the original. G. C. de BRITO, Sec. to the Agency. He would then read the letter which was about to te sent in answer " London, Nov. 18, 1842. " DEAR have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant, inclosing two propositions from the Portuguese Government, for the liquidation of the debt due to the Bondholders of the loan of 1836, contracted by me on the colla teral security of the debt due from Brazil to Por tugal, which propositions you 'request me to lay before the Bondholders, and to inform you of their resolution thereupon. " In conformity with this request, I have done my best to ascertain the sentiments of the holders of as large a proportion as possible of those securities ; and I am now enabled to make to you the following ob servations as the result of the opinions ofholders of stock of 1836, equal in amount to between 550,0001. and 600,0001., out of 700,0001., the total amount of stock of that loan remaining in circulation. " The Bondholders receive with satisfaction your statement that the Government is actuated by a sin cere wish (which, indeed, the Bondholders I. ave a'.ways felt confident that it must entertain) to settle this matter on the basis of its engagements. But they think, and have no doubt that the following remarks will show, that this desire on the part of the Govern ment would not be carried into effect by either of the proposals which it has directed you to submit for their consideration. "With regard to the first proposal, to deposit (namely) in the Bank of England the bonds to be received from Brazil, in order that the same may be applied in the manner which i ron have specified, (and which would occupy a considerable number of years) in payment of the dividends and towards the redemption of the Portuguese Bonds of 1836, it is to be observed that this delay is directly contrary to the original contract, which directs that what is received from Brazil shall be applied, as it is received in redemption of the bonds in question, and also to the letter explanatory of that contract, which was signed by y ou and the Charg e d'Aff a i res o f P or t uga l in June 183 7, •In consequenc e o f my having made a further advance of ninety two thousand pounds for the payment of the dividends on the Regency Bonds, and in which letter you engage on behalf of the Govern ment that all bonds and securities which may be de livered by-Brazil, in respect of its debt to Portugal, shall, at the time of the same being delivered, be de sited in the Bank of England, in. the joint names of myself and the agents of the Government, in order that the same may be immediately applied in accord ance with the original contract for the loan of 1836. " But this is by no means the only objection to which your first proposal is liable. Both your pro positions admit (about which there can, indeed, be no difference of opinion) that there is now due to each holder of a 1001. bond of 1836, 90/. for principal, and (allowing for a half dividend to be paid next month) 211. ss. for arrears of interest. This amounts to 111/. ss. on each 1001. bond, or to rather more than 778,0001. on the 700,0001. bonds. Now, the 732,0001. stock to be delivered by Brazil (if estimated, not at the fanciful price of 85 per cent. set upon it by the Brazilian Government, but at the market price of 56 per cent., which similar Brazilian stock now bears) is worth rather less than 410,000/. ; and as the con tract for the loan of 1836 obliges the Portuguese Government to contribute any sum by which the Brazilian debt may be insufficient for redeeming that loan, it follows that Portugal ought now to pay for that purpose the difference between 778,0001. and 410,0001., or about 368,000/. Now what sum does your first proposal , suggest that Portugal should contribute in lieu of the sum now really due of above 360,000 l.? Is it suggested that the contribution should be 300,0001. or 200,000/. ? No, it is proposed that if Brazil should fulfil (as it is to be presumed that it will) its obligation respecting the sinking fund on the new Brazilian Bonds, l'ortugal should pay nothing either now or at any future period ; but that if Brazil should fail in this obligation, Portugal should contribute for the redemption of the bonds in 1836,.17,5001. a-year, until the amount of those bonds shall be so reduced as to bear to the 732,0001. Brazilian Bonds, the propor tion of 1001. to 121/. 55., or in other words till the amount of bonds of 1836 shall be reduced to 620,0001., which would be accomplished in about 5 years. This is all that in a ny Portugal should event it is suggested that pay out of its own funds ; for as the subsequent contingent payment of 17,5001. a year is intended to entitle Portugal to withdraw a corresponding proportion of Brazilian bonds depo sited, this sum would in fact be raised out of the Brazilian bonds, and would not come out of the funds of Portugal. Thus , then, we see th a t th e e ff ec t o f the proposal under consideration is that a debt of above 360,0001. is to be extinguished, in one event, Without any payment whatever, by th e party who MINES. 5/. h, t - ',l/. pi 12 Albion Copper Alton l5l. sh 12!.

But are they equally convenient to the Creditor ?- We have only to look at their effect upon the Bondholders of 1836, in order to be convinced that they are not. In the first place, according to this plan, the Bondholders would for the present receive no part of their capi tal or arrears of dividends. In the second place, if the Brazilian Government keptrip the sinking fund to the amount agreed of 5 per cent. per annum, the redemption of the bonds of 1836; which ought to take place altogether and immediately, would be effected by driblets during a period of about 14 years. If the Brazilian Government did not keep up the sinking fund, the redemption would be effected at a rate so much slower still, that it would last about 30 years, and the only mode by which the Bondholders could arrive at a more speedy settlement of their claim would be by availing them selves of the option of accepting, at the end of the first five years, 1211. ss. ofßrazilian Stock inexchange for a 1001. bond of 1836, including the present ar rears of dividends thereon, or, in other words; of taking 1211. ss: Brazilian Stock in lieu of 1111. ‘';'„ in money, or at the erroneously • high price of more than 91 per cent. "Whether I have, in every respect, quite correctly understood the effects of a scheme so complex as is involved in the first proposal of the Government, I will not venture positively to assert. But thus much at least is clear,- that this scheme is' so intricate;* and would be so uncertain in its operation that it is so contrary to the spirit of the contract Of 1836, that it proposes to purchase . such • enormous pecuniary ad vantages to the Government by imposing. such severe sacrifices upon the Bondholders; and lastly, that it would -protract for so long a pericd the final liquida tion of the claims of those, who have been greatly in convenienced and injured by past delays, that I can have no hesitatiOn on the part of the Bondholders whom I have consulted, not only in declining this pro posal, but also in stating that I should. 'decline any other proposal founded on a similar basis. " I proceed, therefore, to consider the second propo sition, which is so far satisfactory to the Bondholders, as it appears to them to be grounded upon.the only principle which is correct and consistent with the con tract of 1836, the principle, namely, that the Bonds to be received from Brazil ought to be applied at once, as far as they.will go, towards the discharge of what is due for capital and arrears of dividends on the bonds of that year, and that the deficiency should be supplied by Portugal. But in applying that principle, the hold ers think that the proposal involves errors so grave and obvious, that it is only necessary to point them out, in order that the Government itself may be anxious to correct thent. It is suggested that the 632,000/. bonds to be received from Brazil should be accepted by the Bondholders as w0rth.622,702/.- that is to say, at the price of 85 per cent. ; and that for the balance (which even according to this mode of calculation would remain due) of the principal and interest, Portuguese converted bonds should be issued to an equal nominal amount-or, in other words, that the Bondholders Should , accept PortugueSe Bonds at the price of 100. per cent. Now, in your letter of the 12th of October last, you' de - - scribed the terms proposed by the Convention of the 22d of July for the payment of the Brazilian Debt as "so unreasonable," that the Portuguese Government had hesitated to ratify the Convention, a remark which (as you were yourself a party to the former Convert tion fixing . ' the amount of the debt), of course applies to the mode of payment proposed, a payment in Bra zilian Bonds, taken at 85 per cent., but of which the market value is about 56. It does then appear not a little singular that although .in speaking of Brazil, your debtor, you considered this mode of payment unrea .7 2onable, you should now desire to force npon us, your creditors, without any loss on your part, the same unreasonable mode of payment so far as respects a portion of our demand. But this is not all. For. Portugal, improving upon the plan (which when practised by Brazil it complained of) of forcing creditors to accept in payment stock at an exorbitant price, desires that after taking for part of our demand Brazilian stock worth about 56 or 85 per cent.,we should receive, for what, even, according to this mode of cal culation, would still: remain due to us, Portuguese Stock, really worth 33 per cent. at the price of 100. Now, 'Sir, if you, observing the caution of diplomatic language, have yourself declared to be unreasonable the first part of their proposal, when made to you by Brazil, what term do you expect British creditors, who are in the habit . of speaking plainly, to apply-what term would you yourself apply to the last ? " But let me put the plan suggested in another point of view, which will perhaps make its real na ture more obvious still. There is now, as already no ticed, due to each holder of a Portuguese Bond, of 1836, 1111. ss. On the Brazilian bonds being divided, every such holder would receive, as you remark, about 1051. of Brazilian stock ; and if this be reckoned at the present market price of .56 (and the present market price is the only one at which it can be reckoned, by men who deal in facts and figures, and not in fancies), it would be worth about 58/. 16s. This sum being deducted from 111/. ss. would leave a deficiency of 52/. 9s. due to the holder, and which ought at once to be paid by the Government. And what does the Government propose to give in liquidation of this debt ? Nothing,. absolutely nothing, but 22/. 10s., Portuguese Con- . verted Stock, which at 'the present market price of 33 per cent. is worth . about 71..10x. Thus, then, it is proposed to liquidate a debt of 52/. 95., with stcck worth about 71. 10s:, or, in other words, by a payment of rather less than three shillings in the pound. I am • sure, Sir, that - the Government will at once perceive that if at the very moment when it is expressing, and I doubt not sincerely, its desire to discharge its obligations to the . best of its abilities, the Bondholders accepted for so much of their debt as their special security is insuf ficient to cover, a payment of less than - three shillings in the pound, they would thereby be 13roclaiming to the world their conviction, that such a payment is all that is to be expected on debts due from your Government, and not specially secured, and would thus act in a manner at once inconsistent with any due regard to their own interest, and deeply in jurious to the credit of Portugal. For the reason above stated,. I am under the necessity of declining, on behalf of the Bondholders, for whom I am acting, the second proposal as well as the first. And here I believe that I might, without im propriety, stop. For I have fully explained the grounds of our objections; the Government would, I think, have no difficulty (as I have no doubt it would be desirous), to frame a fresh proposition which might better conciliate with its own interests the rights of the Bondholders. I think, however, that time may be saved by my at once suggesting a scheme such as the holders whom I have consulted would be disposed to accede to. In forming this scheme, we have' acted upon the belief, that on the one hand the - Government feels how. essential it is to . the credit of Portugal (the loss of which could ill be compensated by any immediate pecuniary advantage) to pay its debt in full, (and: this would not be done,. nor would it be considered by the public to have been done, if we were compelied to take its payment stock at more than its market value,) but that, on the other hand, it would be inconvenient, with reference to the present means of Portugal, immediately to discharge the whole of that portion of our demand which would not be covered by the Brazilian debt, and that the Go vernment would therefore prefer to discharge a part of it by instalments. With these views I suggest the following PLAN OF LIQUIDATION. 'lst Article--That the 732,000/. Bonds to be re ceived from Brazil shall be immediately divided t o s l itua/ch. market ee d k ß . o a g T z s i among the hold ers o f th e 7 00,000/.

B on d 1. sum being deducted from the 1111. ss. now due to each holder of a 100/. Bond, would leave 621 . 98. as the balance due to him. 3d Article—That one-half of this balance of 521. 95. shall be at once discharged by the delivery of a suffi cient amuunt of Portuguese Converted Bonds, autho rised by the decree of 2d November, 1840, and va lued at the present market price of 33 per cent. 4th and last Article—That the remaining half of the above-mentioned balance of 52/. 9s. shall be paid by' four equal instalments of 6/.lls. each, on the Ist of December, 1843, 1844, 1845, and 1846; each such instalment to be discharged by the delivery of a sufficient amount of Portuguese Bonds of the descrip tion before referred to, and valued at what may then be the market price of the day. It now only remains •for me to remark, that I be lieve this plan to be well calculated to reconcile the interests of Portugal .and of the Bondholders, - and that I trust, therefore,' it will receive the assent of the Government. . The advisers of her Most Faithful •Majesty must, I am sure, deeply feel how important' it is to the honour. and welfare of Portugal, that this long protracted matter should be settled at once, and upon a satisfac tory basis, more especially as they have through the Portuguese Minister at this Court, and with a view to expediting that settlement, requested and obtained the support of Great 'Britain, (a support usually re served for the claims of British subjects) in aid of the demands of• Portugal against Brazil, and have thus in the strongest manner directed to this question the attention of the British Government. .. I I have the honour to be, dear Sir, Yours faithfully, (Signed) J. L. GOLDSMID. To the Conseiller De Paiva Pereira da Sa. He hardly knew that it was necessary, after the ex pression of sentiments by' the • gentlemen whom he represented, to say many words ; but he would just call the attention of the Bondholders to the nature of , their position. The principal holders were original holders, and therefore the loss to them would be very severe, because their loss would be to the extent of 111/. ss. 11d. There was another party who had been driven by circumstanc es , and the want of money, to sell their stock ; to them he could afibrd no relief; because they sold at a sacrifice. But the party who purchased that stock did notifeel this loss so severely, because they had purchased with the pros pect of a small profit. Any of these par ties he would most willingly represent as much as any other. He had taken a great deal of trouble to ascertain the sentiments of the holders of bonds throughout the country, and from all he had received communications entrusting him with their claims. He thought the assurance of the Ministers of Por tugal was strong and conclusive, and that it would be honourably adhered to.—(Hear, bear.) It was there fore with no little surprise, that he had received the communication which had been read. He was quite sure that the suggestion did not emanate from the Portugum Government, but from sonic person in this country. He had known of one in stance, and he spoke advisedly of a plan having been forwarded from this country to Portugal, hut which had not been acted upon. He should send his proposition, backed by the consent of nearly the whole of the Bondholders, • the number of the bonds being sent with it, which would show that he was the bona. fide representative of the Bond holders therein. if any persons entertained a dif ferent view of the case he would pledge himself faith fully to represent his views to the Government of Portugal.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. RAMSBOTTOM wished the names of the parties who had entrusted their claims to the chairman, but it was objected to hr the meeting. The. CHAIRMAN then inquired if any gentleman present wished to subscribe to the proposition which had been read. He had already the names of persons holding nearly. 600,000/. of the 700,0001. Mr. SAMUEL SAMUEL!, and several other gentle men, who represented large Bondholders, said they would leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Chairman. • - Baron TOLG.,6 said, the position in which they at present ttOod, had not been touched upon. In 1836 a negotiation was entered into, at London, for the payment to, POrtugal of the. Brazilian Bonds. That negocifitiOh was .to have . been .ratified in a given time, but !after the lapse of five years they . founcl . themselves in precisely the same position as in 1837, The question between the Bond holders and the Portuguese Government appeared to him to be how they could best obtain the ratification of the treaty bet Ween the Brazilian and Portuguese Governments, unless Sir. J. L. Goldsmid would gua rantee the carrying out of his plans, as the Portuguese Government might delay for another five years. The - CHAIRMAN said he had the highest opinion of the honesty of the Portuguese Government, and he did not believe they would in any way act dishonourably. After a very long conversation, Mr. THORNToN said be thought the best plan would be to call. a public meeting at the London Tavern, and he should thereforwropose that a meeting beheld next week. Baron ToLcas seconded the motion, which WAS lost, no one supporting it. it was then agreed that the letter read by the Chair man should be sent forthwith, and the meeting sepa rated. QUEEN'S BENCEI.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) COOKE V. PEARSON. The plaintiff in this case had invented an improved German shutter for carriages, for which he had taken out a patent, and he had sued defendant for an infringement of that patent. The action had been tried, and the Jury had returned a special verdict, so as to have the opinion- of the Couft on the point as to whether the title of the patent was too large. The title of the patent was for certain improvements in carriages. It was contended on the one side, that 'as the invention was. applicable to a small portion of a small number of carriages only, and not to . carriages generally, the title was too large, and the patent, therefore, void; and on the other th a t the title was not. too large, that there was no case that could be quoted on the other :ide, and that, therefore, the patent was good. The Attorney-General argued the case for the plaintiff, and Mr. Erie for the defendant. _ .its ju dgment. A CouRT took time to consider SPI. IT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—A curious case of mistaken indentity is reported under the head of Police in this day's Globe. A young man, most respectably connected, was brought up on a charge of robbery, and his identity 'confidently spoken to by three witnesses ; so that, had he not fortunately been in a position to clearly prove an alibi, he would probably have been eventually con victedof a crime of which he is undoubtedly innocent. We notice this case, chiefly for the purpose of point ing out a piece of additional hardship, which we think might have been spared. The Magistrate, though giving his opinion .that the accusation originated in g mistake, discharged the subject of it only on hi s entering into his own recognizance t o a p pear a t t h e next session of the Centrel Criminal Court to answer any proceedings the complaining parties might think proper to institute- The individual alluded to, having taken his passage, and made all his arrangements for immediate emigration to New Zealand, must either postpone his going, or lay himself open to suspicion by leaving the country with a liability to answer a criminal charge still hanging over him. We think the Magistrate might have avoided this alternative ; for if there is no doubt of the party's innocence— and no doubt could possibly exi s t a ft er th e ev id ence had been heard—what reason can there be for holding him under any further liability ? The case is strongly illustrative. of the superiority of the Scotch over the English law, as, applicable to charges of this kind. According to the former, the depositions would lie placed in ,the hands of a public prosecu tor ; who, if he saw no sufficient ground, would re fuse to proceed, and the party improperly accused would be discharged,_ leaving it to the complainant to proceed afresh on his own responsibilit7. There is no doubt that had the same rule existed in England, the individual unjustly implicated in the case which has to these remarks woul.d have been unconditional set at liberty. THE STANDARD. --Nothing can be more wise,' and, indeed, nothing can be more just, than to en courage, by the most liberal dispensation of the public patronage, the loyalty of loyal Roman Catholics. It is wise, because, while it adds to the strength of the party supporting the laws, it takes from the incen diaries the pretext of suffering from sectarian persecution, and . exhibits them in their true character of persecutors themselves ; for all this insolence and triumph is persecution, the only perSecution, • indeed, for which any present opportunity exists, but 11 sufficiently plain proof that they who use it would not, if they had power, stop short of the rack and the stake. No sincere Protes tant, therefore —no . man "who cares for a cause more than for personal gain, can grudge the most pro digal accumulation of favours upon such men as Mr. Coppinger (the Orange Papist "of the O'Connell journals), or upon such men as Mr. Eneas Macdonnell, whose inestimable services will not, we trust, continue unrewarded. In this way the country will be best prepared for the O'Connell crisis whenever they who treat the British connectson, the British law, the Queen's title, and the title of the Church, as merely "titular," shall muster courage to bring it on. Let Ireland be governed upon exactly the reverse of thoie principles upon whiCh Ireland has been governed for half a century, the crisis will be a trifling matter. When we .speak of reverse principles to chose which have dictated the Irish Government for half a century, we mean to recommend , simply the ad ministration of th e G overnmen t w ith out f avour and without fear—n ame l y, to give everything to justice, nothing to menace; far better allow, to be taken from you by force that which yOU cannot defend, than sur render it.to threats; for weakness may be. but tem-, porary, and it may b e repa i re d b y any o f a thzeisand aids, but the opinion' of cowardice is permanent and ineffaceable. Rene e it is that, as Mirabeau says, " what is conceded to menace never satisfies." ME LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.)

The Constitutionnel has an article on the rupturebe. tween the King of Naples and his brother, the Prince Of Capau. The writer says that the King has never required the dissolutinn of the Prince's marriage, but that it and the relations arising out of it should be rendered conformable to the family laws which regu late the Court of Naples in common with the other Courts of Europe. He also denies that the Prince has been deprived of his resources, and left to the mu nifiCence of the British Court. The Report of the Duke de Broglie, on the slave trade, was understood to be about to appear imine -cliately. The recent Spanish amnesty had already prod uce d the effect of ind uc i ng several refugee Carlist families to return to their country. There had been some tumults at Gibraltar ;•the clergy, it appears, having refused the rites of burial to a person lately dead in that city, a mob of the people had seized the body, borne it to the church, and com pelled a priest to read the funeral prayers. Al. Leva.sseur had gained his election at Diep the second ballot. The National says, that the hopes which had been entertained from the late visit of the Emperor to Warsaw, of either an amnesty, or an organisation of the army of Poland had all vanished. - The Gazette de Cologne states that the DruseS, illa ronites, and Mutualis had re-established the confedera tion of 1840, and in a 'Council General had deter mined to place themselves u n d er th e protect i on o f the five European Powers; pledging themselves against peace with the Turks, until `the ancient capital (Beyrout), and the whole coast of the Lebanon, in cludinf, Tyre and Sidon. s hall b e res t ore d to t h em.

AMERICAN WHEAT. After asserting that there is no law at present by which American grown wheat, transhipped from Canada can be refused admission into British p or t s as Canadian produce, and that it is necessary, on that account, to tax American wheat before it is mixed with the wheat of Canada, otherwise American wheat would be admitted without any protective duty, the Spectator says:— The confusion has originated, probably, in the fact that Lord Stanley, in the dispatch, which is dated the 2d of March, speaks of a measure as belonging to the future, which now belongs to the past—the new Corn Importation Act. He points out to the Cana dians the merits of that Bill (now the existing law), but apologises for its not going further with the reduc tion of duties in their favour, for the reasons already specified. In March last, Lord Stanley described as about to be done in future that which has been done; but people think that that still remains to be done; and so they confound it with what really is still a matter of fu turity—the unknown further reduction, which, as Lord Stanley promised the Canadians, is to follow their adop tion of his hint. He did not ask them to impose a duty on American wheat as a gratuitous favour to this country, but to transfer to their frontier the duty which they wished taken off in their favour at our frontier; they have done so, and it follows that an equivalent reduction is to be made in the duty at our frontier. Such is the plain interpretation of Lord Stanley's words; and it is entirely in the of Sir Robert Peel's promise, that Canada should be treated as 'an integral tart of the empire an English county." American wheat, it seems, is now admissible, then, as Canadian wheat at our frontier; and after sth July, 1843, will pay a duty of 3s. per quarter on the Canadian frontier; when, according to the above quotation from the Spectator, "an equivalent re• duction is to be made in the duty at our frontier." After July,. 1843, therefore, American wheat exported via Canada, and transhipped from thence to British ports, will pay a fixed duty of 3s. per quarter'at the Canadian frontier, and' at our frontier a maximum duty of 2s. per quarter while the price is below 555., or what is equivalent to a fixed duty in all of ss. per quarter. This is quite evident from the Spectator's own words; and yet, in another part of the same article, he sneers at the idea of any new enactment on the subject, the expectation of which he attributes to an " admired confusion of facts," which, he says, confound what already is the law with what is con templated by the Canadians and the Imperial Govern ment." The Spectator says that "an equivalent re duction" for the duty imposed at the Canadian fron tier "isto be made in the duty at our frontier." We cannot conceive how that reduction' can be effected without a new enactment. The Canadians pushed forward their. Bill to give Lord Stanley time to pre pare that new enactment, and assuredly they will ex pect to hear that it is introduced into the House of Commons at the very earliest period of the ensuing session. Lord Stanley's dispatch is quite explicit. It,alludes to the present Corn Importation Act as " the Bill now before Parliament, whereby a duty of five shillings is leviable only while the price is below 555., and at 5135. falls to ls. only." His LOrdship adds that he'cannot propose " further reductions" in the absence of the tax which the Canadian Parliainent have since imposed on American wheat agreeably to his suggestions, and in consideration of which they accordhigly rely that the existing duties levied on Canadian produce in British ports will be withdrawn to the extent of free or nearly free admission." Lord 'Stanley may try to " thinible-rig" the Canadian Parliament. If the ,Spectator speak froth authority, there' can be little •doubt that some sleight-of hand work is in contempla ,tion ; but he will have difficulty in 'getting over the evidence afforded by his dispatch of the 2d of March last. A further blow must be given to the "'farmers' friends" by the Peel Cabinet next 'session of Parlia ment, or a most foul and indefensible 'breach of com pact cominitted against the •people and Parliament of the Canadas.

The annual cattle and pleasure fair held at King' ston commenced on Monday last, and is entitled, by charter, to be kept up for fourteen days. T he show of stock was pretty good, and as the panic ee. casioned by the alterations in the tariff has, in a great measure, subsided, and the farmers no longer have the vision of droves of foreign beasts and Piga continually before them, they would not consent to make any great sacrifices, although the prices were certainly, for all descriptions o f s tock, much lower than last year. Some very fine cart colts were es' hibited, and 'most of them were sold at middling prices. Very few sheep and pigs were brought to the fair, and they did not meet a ready sale, although offered at low figures. A number of the London swell mob, as usual, attended th e f a i r , but they were closely Watched by the poll ee o f the V division, a strong body of whom, u n d er th e or d er s of Inspector Dowsett, !were in attend e n ce , an d our Corresponde nt only heard of two cases in which they were success ful in carrying their victimizing intentions into ere' cution, and it appears extrao r di nar y, th a t after all r h cases of a similar character that have b een made public, dupes sh ou ld s till be found. A Welsh farmer having transacted some bus t ' ness in the fair, went into the Cricket ers public-house to get some lunch, and b was speedily followed into the parlour by re' well-known sharpers, who entered into conversatl°ll with him and asked to drink along with there: The glass having circulated pretty freely the former told them that he intended. to buy a horse, and hal ascertained what sort of a one he wanted they - they had got one that would just suit him, but at the same time one of th e m o b serve d th a t h e did not thin: the farmer had money enough about him to buY a horse with. This remark, of course, nettled him , he immediately produced a 101. Bank of England el'i s and seven sovereigns. One of the sharpers upon ' l4 observed that he seemed to have some money, should like to know, whether it was all good, a ather it e s, were so many tricks done. ever y d ay , an d as „ probable they should have to deal together for nip horse he should lik e t o b e sa ti s fi e d . Th e poor faro told told him he was at liberty to look at it, and put money into his hand. The two sharpers exann it attentively f o r a m i nu t e or t wo, an d then a tP e .i it was all right, and they- then very kindly, to wrap up the money c ar e f u ll y , an d.put it into of farmer's fob, in order that he might not be robbet, it. They accordi ng ly p u t a sma ll parce l i n to the If; and the , dupe expressed himself highly gratified le having fallen into th e com p any o f suc h h oli est ge° men. In a little time the two fellows left the W I , and shortly after war d s th e f armer exam i ne d the °°,d tents of his fob, but i ns t ea d o f th e B an k of }-I,„ fu n j k note and the seven soverei gns , h e f oun d only a " of Elegance note and a, few farthings.
