German papers mention that, with the excep tion of a few formalities, the peace between the SULTAN and the Pacha of EGYPT may be looked upon as settled ; but that the Russian auxiliary corps will probably remain until IBRAHIM PACHA has withdrawn beyond the boundaries of Syria. We direct attention to a correspondence re specting an affair of honour, arising out of some observations made by Sir J. HoBHOUSE on Colonel EVAN S, which appeared in a morning paper of yesterday. Want of space and time prevents our making any observations on the subject to-day. Since we last adverted to the Petition Com mittee, it has made several reports. The 15th, coming down to the 30th April, is now before us. The petitions in favour of the better ob servance of the Sabbath, have increased to 791, having 201,574 signatures. We should be sur prised at this number of signatures, knowing, as we do, the sentiments of toleration enter tained by the great mass of the respectable part of the community, did we not know how indus trious the sectaries are in raking names together. Thousands who sign these petitions do so from a desire not to seem particular, not to expose themselves to the reproaches of their neighbours, not to expose themselves to the absurd charge of Atheism, in short, in nine cases out of ten, from any motive but that of piety. The Scotch appear determined to get rid of their system of patro nage in the church ; for, although it may be said to be almost a new question, the number of pe titions against it is 105; of signatures 52,258. The number of petitioners against tithes, English and Irish, is only 36,000, owing to the cer tainty, we suppose, of their being abolished. The dissenting petitioners, complaining of being obliged to contribute to the maintenance of the established church, are 14,760. The number of petitionersin favour of the emancipation of the Jews is 41,103; against slavery, 360,581; against the assessed taxes generally, 16,663 ; and against the house and window tax, 33,614. The peti- tions against this last are only now beginning to pour in, so confidently did the inhabitants of the towns rely upon their abolition. The number of petitioners in favour of corporation reform are 57,235 ; in favour of the Factories Regula tion Bill, 99,110 ; and for an alteration of tle Beer Act, 11,420. The promulgation of the Ministerial plan for the commutation of tithes in England has given rise to the publication of the projects of indi viduals upon the same subject. Members of the church, whose opinion it is most desirable to have upon such a subject, have not been backward in offering their suggestions. The Rev. RICHARD JONES, M.A., Professor of Political Economy at King's College, London, whom we tray not unfairly take to represent the feelings of a large portion of the body to which he belongs, has, among others, pub- lished a pamphlet upon the subject. Mr. JONES approves of the Government plan, excepting in some of its details. Whether he counts as among the details the compulsory acceptance by either landowner or clergyman, of the average sum which has been paid during the last seven years, we know not. We have already stated our opinion of the gross injustice the carrying of this part of the Bill into effect would indict both upon clergymen, who have not exacted their full due, and upon land owners who have been reduced to poverty by the extortion of incumbents obliging them almost to throw their land out of cultivation. We shall not therefore at present say any more upon the point, than that we regret Mr. JONES has not adverted to it. We quite agree with Mr. JONES that the church property would be in any thing but a safe position if it were to remain in the shape of the corn rents into which Ministers propose to resolve it. The uniform con duct of landowners, from the reign of HenryVlll. downwards, moves the little respect they have not merely for the property of the church, but for any property but their own, for any but the most simple of mankind to imagine they would not seize the first fair pretence that offered itself for appropriating the church revenues to them selves, and, of course, throwing the mainte nance of the clergy upon the country at large. In order, therefore, to get tithes out of the perilou s position in which they are placed as soon as possible, Mr. JONES proposes to give all tithe payers the choice of redeeming their tithes for Ist, money ; 2dly, land ; 3dly, mortgages ; 4thly, corn rents ; the mortgages and corn rents to be at once assignable and saleable by the church. All the modes are to be permissive. For the management of the property which would thus be vested in the church, Mr. JONES proposes to establish a central board in the metropolis, with corresponding boards in each diocese, somewhat upon the plan proposed by Mr. STANLEY for Ireland last session. Perhaps in leaving the matter entirely optional, some of the results expected by Mr. JONES would not take place. For instance, the commutations in some dioceses might be so trifling, as not to pay the expense of the machinery he proposes to esta blish. This, however, would be a much le , s serious evil than the power of oppression which Government purposes to place in the hands of the clergy, and we trust that what we have said will be sufficient to draw attention in the proper quatter to Mr. JONES'S suggestions. The Ball given by Prince TALLEYRAND last night in honour of the Duke of ORLEANS was one of the most magnificent fetes that ever took place in London. More than a thousand persons were present, among whom were the Dukes of SUSSEX, GLOUCESTER, CUMBERLAND, and BRUNSWICK, his Majesty's Ministers, and all the Corps Diplomatique. A splendid supper was served dur ing the evening. DEAL.—Written notices have been posted in Deal announcing a Meeting for the immediate formation of a Political Union. We discuss not at pre s e nt the utility of a society of this kind, farther than by expressing a con viction that the measures of Ministers and their political adherents are viewed with irrepressitile feelings bf in creasing regret and disappointment. No equivocal proof of the soundness of our remirk is, that many of the staunchest supporters of the Ministerial candidates at the late election scruple not to denounce their political conduct in strong terms of disapprobation.—Maidstons Gazette. SIR J. C. 1-10BHOU SE AND COL. EVANS. AFFAIR OF HONOUR. :We have just received the following Correspondence.) (No. 1.) Thursday Morning, Waterloo-place. 'My dear Lord,-1 have this moment read the enclosed passage in the Times newspaper.—Will your Lordship permit me to solicit your advice under the circumstances ? Most faithfully yours, D. L. EVANS. Lord Dunboyne, Batt's Hotel, Davies-street. (No. 11.) Half-past 10 o'clock, p.m., 9th May, 1833. My dear Colonel,—l have attentively read the passage in the Times, and should recommend your immediately addressing Sir John Hobhouse to the following effect. Yours very faithfully-, DUNBOYNE. Colonel Evans. (No. lll.—Copy.) (From Col. Evans to S,r J. Hohhouse.) Sir, —Having read in the Times newspaper of this morning the following passage attributed to you, viz : " In allusion to the charge brought against him of being a paid servant of the Crown, he asked the meeting who now was the most paid servant of the Crown of the three candidates for their suffrages? Why, the very man who had brought the charge against him, and whom he could, when be held his late office, have deprived of his pension, at a moment's notice, by a mere scratch of his pen. He appealed to them, if they did not return him, at least n. , t to return one who had so basely calumniated him." You will therefore, Sir, I am convinced, perceive the necessity of my requesting to know if these words have been really used by you, and with reference to me. I have the honour to be, &c., &c., D. L. EVANS. To the Right Hon. Sir J. Hobhouse, Sec., See. (No. IV.) Sir,—l request you will have the goodness to inform me when it will be (-mover ient for you to allow me to have the honour of waiting on you. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, C. FLEMING. No. 11, Park.place, St. James's, Thursday. (Ni. V.) Colonel Evans presents his compliments, and regrets he was not at home when lomiral Fleming did him the honour to call on him. Should Admiral Fleming have any particular wish to see Col. Evans, Col. E. will re main at home till '7 o'clock—after which, other engage tnents will require his attendance. He retrets the Admiral has not been so good as to mention the object of his visit. Thui , iliv Evening, quarter to 6. 6, Waterloo•place. To Admiral Flemmg, 11, Pirlr—place, St. Jameb's. (Ni. VI.) 11, Park-place, St• James's, Thursd iy, 9 o'clock._ My Lord,—ln consequence of the communication I had the honour of having with your Lordship this evening, I have called on Sir John Hothouse regarding the repsrt in the Times newspaper of what he said at a meeting of the Westminster electors, which forms the subject of a letter from C ilonel Evans to him this day. As it is most essential, in such cases, to avoid misunder standing, I am desirous of hearing from some persons who were at the meting what was actually said, before I can advise Sir John as to the steps he should take. I shall endeavour to inform myself without a moment's de lay, and yeu shall hear from me again. accordingly. Pray excuse this hurried note. I have the honour to he, my Lord, Your must obedient humble servant, To the Lord Dunboyne. C. FLEMING. (No. VII., received at half-past eleven.) May 9. Sir John Hobhouse, understanding that Lord Dunboyne has done him the honour to call twice this ev. , ning, begs to say that Admiral Ph-ming has heen kind enough to undertake to conler with his Lordship on the business to which, most probably, his visit refers. (No. VIII.) 6, Waterloo-place, Tnuroday night, twelve o'clock, May 9. _ _ Sir,—When you left this house at six o'click this afternoon, I understood I should hear from you in about a quarter of an hour, in explanation of the words attributed to Sir J. Hobhouse. Several hours have elawied. Inter mediately I have twice cilted upon Sir J. Hobhouse, and once on you, without being successful in finding either at home. Your letter since received, in my opinion, leaves the matter as it stood this morning. . . I consider Colonel Evans thus — doubly aggrieved by this long omission of Sir J. Hohhouse to reply in writing to his letter delivered at twelve o'clock this day. Under these circumstances, I trust you will perceive the necessity of at length bringing the matter to issue. I shall therefore hope most earnestly to receive, without further delay, an answer, disavowing (if they have not been used), under the signature of Sir J. Hohhouse, the words basely calumniated," as applied to Colonel Evans, or their retraction ; or that you will appoint an hour for the parties to meet as early'as you can possibly fix on. The expressions referred to have now been before the public the whole of this day, and I had led myself to hope that a favourable result would have followed, long ere this, from our interview ; and I now feel it to he a pain• ful duty I owe to my friend, to impress upon you, what I trust you will agree with me in, that this unpleasant affair should be settled before nine o'clock to-morrow morning. I have the honour to be, &c. &e. &c. DUNBOYNE. P.S.—A note has just reached me from Sir J. Hob• house, which merely states his haying referred the matter to you. _ . To Admiral Fleming, &c. &c. &c. (No. IX.) Received at half-past nine—Friday morning. 11, Park-place, Friday morning, 8 o'clock. My Lord,—ln reply to your letter, which you put into my hand this morning, I have to acquaint you, that in consequence of there being no House of Commons, and the canvass going on, I found it difficult to see any person who had been at the meeting alluded to in Colonel Evans's letter, after T left you for that purpo.e, at past 7 o'clock. I find that the expressions attributed to Sir John Hob_ house, are misstated. He never di l make use of the word " base" or " basely," and he applied " ca'umniated" to those who had asserted that he was still in office, after he had repeatedly stated that that was not the case. With regard to the expression " That he could have deprived him of his pension at a moment's notice, by a scratch of his pen," what he really did say, was, " I might have been called on at a moment's warning, to strike off his name by a mere scratch of my pen," meaning that Col. Evans was on the list of the army. Any delay that has taken place since the communication was first made to me, at half-past two o'clock yesterday, is mutual, and entirely owing to the circumstances I have alluded to.—l have the honour to be, My Lord, Your most obedient humble rervant, C. FLEAIIN G. (No. X.) 10 o'clock Friday Morning, 10th May, 6, Waterloo Place. Sir,—Your letter, received half an hour ago, I ii4avowing that Sir John llobhouse ever did make use of the words " base," or " basely," and understanding from it that he applied the word " calumniated" not to Col. Evans but to those who asserted that he was still in office, I beg leave to inform you that your communication is perfectly satis factory. I have the honour to he, Sir, Your most obedt. humble servant, To Admiral Fleming. DUNBOYNE. (No. XI. ) 11, Park. place, Friday. . . My Lord,—l have just received your Lordship's note, and have only one observation to make on your interpre• tation of the one I had the honour of addressing to you. Conceiving your note to convey a clear intimation that Col. Evans was not one of those who asserted Sir John Hobhouse to be still it, office, after be had declared that was not the case ; I readily acquiesce in the additional words " not to Col. Evans," and am happy that the affair has terminated to the satisfaction of both patties. I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your most obedient, humble servant, C. FLEMING. To the Lord Dunboyne, &c. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. (From the Times.) The public will perceive the situat'ol in which West minst,r swirls. There is no evil that In ay not yet be repaired to the cause of steady, constitutional reform• There is a constituen c y of upwards of ten thousand, and a fourth had not voted last night. We also must spurn at the idea of giving a fresh denial to the absurd falsehood that Sir John Hobliouse has not finally given up hi place in the Ministry. Why pretend to give it up ? Wb not retain both that and his seat as the representative of Westminster ? He was under no necessity, other than that which a sense of honour imposes to relinquish either; but now he is fallen. if not on " evil days," at least on "evil toilettes." Are these calumnies to he suffered to prevail ? Will people rush forward open-mouthed to swal low a lie? Now, electors of Westminster, with respect to this: union between Wakley and Evans, we know not what you may think of it; to us it is disgusting. Wak ley wants a man to do a little red-coat business for him ; that is, he mean• (if he has any meaning), to shed blood. Whose blood? Whom does he want Evans to destroy ? Why destroy them openly? Wakley is a doctor, or some thing of that kind ; cannot he effect his purpose more se cretly? Instead of the dagger which he would put into Evans's hand, c innot the deeds he wishes be more adroitly done by drugs ? Ile was once a candidate for the coroner ship. What a situation for such a man ! Why, even without the addiion of bullets to boluses, of bayonets to blisters, he would have cut out more work for himself than ever his friend, the tailor, cut out even in the very zenith of his fashioning career ; while the hero of the sheers would have realized a fortune by making shroud-, and Parson Wade would have become as rich as a Cardi nal by burial fees. What a trio to foist a representative upon the respectable tradesmen of Westminister ! But to be serious, is it possible that the Westminster Liberals can return a Member under the dictation of such men as these? Are the " Conservatives" also anxious to join this trumpery triumverate, and fight under the ban ners of the " Wakley-Wellington," leading on " Wakley's Own" to " red.coat business on their own account?' The pall of this day will show. We fear not the result. (From the Morning Herald.) The metropolitan boroughs are acting with firmness and determination in regard to the assessed taxes. Perse verance in a constitutional Course, a steady adherence to a line of conduct net betrayed by weakness nor disgraced by violence must insure the triumph of their just cause. The Ministers have resolved to grant no substantial re lief to the people from fiscal oppres , ion, but they must soon find it expedient to change their tone unless the people be false to themselves. We condemned the violence displayed at the Westmin ster hustings on the day of the nomination of the new candidates, because a free people have neither a necessity nor an excuse for the adoption of any other than moral means to correct abuses in the state or vindicate their own rights. All violence indicates weakness, but the worst sort of violence is that exercised by a crowd of persons towards an individual who has incurred, however justly, their political dislike. Convinced, as we were, that Sir John Hobhouse had, from his anxiety to keep on good terms with Government, deceived his con stituents, and attempted to cover his desertion of their cause by an unworthy manceuvre, we knew at the same time, that the electors of Westminster had the means of punishing his defection in their own bands. They bad only to mike an honest use of a great political privilege in a constitutional way, and they would thereby not only exercise retributive justice in the particular instance of delinquency, but set a great moral example to the other constituencies of the empire, and afford an instructive warning to other representatives, who may be disposed to sacrifice their duty and their promises to their own selfish views. The result of yes terday's poll shows that Westminster has, at length, awakened to a sense of the enthralled conditioo in which it has bee❑ long held, and that it will not much longer bear the yoke of the tricky junta that had reduced it to pretty nearly the state of a rotten borough. It is true the conflict is not yet decided, hut enough has happened to prove that a large majority of Westminster electors will never a taro shout at the heels of a Member who avoids the arena of Parliament when military flogging or the assessed taxes are und,r discussion, and on most other occasions is centent to be a " silent ornament of the Treasury Benches." The resolution passed by the inhabitants of Shoreditch, calling on Dr. Ltishington to resign his seat, is the natural consequence of the desertion of the inte rests of his constituents on the important subject of the assessed taxes, to the abolition of whic't he had most vehemently pledged himself by the exceedingly strong resolution which he moved against those taxes at the Crown and Anchor only a few days before! The Doctor is, like ourselves, an advocate for the aboli tion of negro slavery ; but we confess we cannot, like the Doctor, limit our liberal and phil inthropic sympa thies to the oppressed African race. We think there are duties of humanity and patriotism to be performed at home! We are of opinion that the industrious and over-taxed population of England are entitled to some re lief. We cannot but suspect that philanthropy which is active and vigorous three or four thousand miles away, and is deadened in its sensibilities towards the o'jects of Chri-tian commiseration in its native land. Mr. Hawes and Mr. W. Brougham have received a lesson which, we trust, will bring with it instruction. Caring, as we do, nothing for parties, hut looking solely to the public inte rests, we think that when public men pursue an indirect course of ambition, they ought to be made to pay the price. We believe that many Members of the present obsequious House of Commons will, when the day of reckoning comes, at another general election, find it their best course to return into the insignific ince and the ob scurity from which they came. (From the Morning Post ) We sincerely hope that the supporters of Mr. Escott will press forward to the poll to-day at the earliest possible time. The victory is in their hands if they choose to win it, for the number of votes polled is too small in compa rison to the amount of the constituency to have much effect on the result of the election ; and we earnestly exhort the gentlemen and tradesmen of Westminster to rescue their city from the disgrace of mob domination.

ORIGINAL ANECDOIE.—During the pas sage down the Sound of one of our elegant steamers last summer, a gentleman not much accustomed to polished society, came so late to the dinner tattle, that he found it difficult to obtain a seat. He stood some time with his hands in his pocket, looking wishfully at the smoking viands. H e was at l ast no ti ce d by the Captain, who re linquished to him his own chair and plate, when he corn rnerwed carving a pig that liy before him. Hay ng finished, he passed p ort i ons o f th e di s h t o all the ladies in his im mediate neighbourhood, and then heaped a plate for him self. He soon perceived a lady who had not been served, and inquired if she would be helped to some pig ? She repli.-d in the affirmative, and he accordingly handed her the plate which he had reserved for himself. Her Lady,hiPt feeling her dignity somewhrt offended at so bountiful a service, observed with protruded lips loud enough to be heard all around—" I don't want a cart load !" Th e gent l eman, at h er remar k, became the object of attention of all at his end of the table, and d e termined to retort upon her for her exceeding civility, watched her motions, and observed that she had dispatched the contents of her plate with li tt l e ceremony . Wh en this was accona• plished, he cri e d out— " M a d ame , it you 'll back your cart up this way, give volt another :load. Liverpool Paper. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) VENABLES V. LORD KINGSBOROUGH. This was an action brought by Mr. Alderm In Venal)lts to recover from Viscount Kingshorough, eldest son of tl e Earl of Kingston, the sum of 5621. for paper supplied to his Lordship. _ . SIT JAMES SCARLETT and Mr. POLI.OOK conducted the case for the plaintiff; Mr. MALTBY, Mr. MOODY, and Mr. GRAVES appeared for the defendant. _ . . It appeared from the evidence for the plaintiff, that the defendant was the author of a most splendid and expensive work, entitled The Antiquities of Mexico, new pub lished at 80 guineas, and that through the medium of his agent, a Mr. Alio, a foreigner, be was supplied with very expensive paper for the typography and drawings, which latter were very numerous. He had, however, refused to pay the halance due for the paper so supplied, and in 1831 the plaintiff brought his action for the amount ; but as it was supplied at twelve months' credit, and the credit for part of the amount claimed had not then expired, the jury found only a verdict for about 1,0801., leaving the balance 5821., which was now sought to be recovered. Witnesses were called who proved the delivery of the paper to the amount claimed, and that the prices were then usually charged at twelve months' credit. Various letters from the defendant were par in and read, and the record of the preceding trial was also put in. Mr. Marreev, in addressing the jury for the defen dant (in the absence of his leader, Mr. Follett), as sured them that the only desire Lord Kingsborou2h had was, to pay the plaintiff what was fair and reasonable, hut he conceived, and so it would be proved by the witnesses, that not only was the demand exorbitant, but the paper was not of the quality neces sary for such a valuable work. Lord Kingsbnrough had. at great expense and immense labour, determined on pub lishing the work in the most splendid style; that it was a work of great merit would be evident on an inspection of the high testimonials he had received from various learned public bodies, particularly from the Chancellor, 'Masters. anal Scholars of the University of Oxford, end the Super intendant of the Imperial Library at Vienna; but it would be proved by the evidence that the paper supplied by the p'aintiff was not of the quality that was required, and also that the price charged for it was considerably greater than it was worth. The learned Counsel went througla the various qualities of paper supplied, and their prices the result of which was t , at he claimed a deduction from the plaintiff's demand of 1261 12.. Besides it was proved by the plaintiff's witnesses that at one period the price of paper fell 5 per cent., but the plaintiff continued to charge the defendant the former prices; even that 5 per cent. was material, when it was considered that, front 1827 to 1830, the quantity supplied amounted to 6,3001., all of which had been paid but the balance now claimed of 582/. I ;Mr. George Magnay, a wholesale stationer, and Mr. Thomas Gardner, a wholesale at ationer, stated that the paper used in the work now produced in Court (forming seven large large volumes) was faulty, and worth less than it was charged by the plaintiff. Mr. Thomas Thorpe, a bookseller and publisher, stated that he published the work, and from the inferiority of the paper the sale was in his opinion injured. Mr. Robert Havill, an engraver and publisher, also gave his opinion that the sale of the work was injured by the inferiority of the paper. The Lean CHIEF JUSTICE stopped the def , nce by ex pressing his opinion that it was no answer to the action, after a letter which had been read from Lord Kingsho rough, in which no complaint, at the date of it, was made by his Lordship. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 5821. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) TAYLOR. AND ANOTHER V. CHAMIER; This was an issue to try whether the defendant, Capt. Fred. Chamier, R.N., had been in partnership with Mr. James Cochrane, of 11, Waterloo-place, bookseller and pugisher, against whom a fiat of bankruptcy was issued a short time since. The facts for the plaintiff+ were these:—Mr. Cochrane, formerly connected with the esta blishment of Messrs. Colhurn and Bentley, intending to set up in business for himself, in January, 1831, met Captain Chamier at the Literary Union Club, and proposals were made by the Captain to enter into partnership with him, saying that he thought it an excellent opportunity to commence business in the publishing line, having some spare capi , al by him. Arrangements were made by which Cochrane was to advance 1,0001., a gentleman named Pickersgill 1,000/., and Captain Charmier 2,000/., the latter to be a sleeping partner. On the 30th of April a house was taken in Waterloo-place, and the first advance of 500/. according to agreement, male by Chamier, hut, not liking to be known as connected with the busi ness, his name was not to be used. Pickersgill not having advanced his part of the fund■ in June his name was taken from the firm. It had been at first arranged that C..amier should lodge in the house for 2001. a year, but Pickersgill having gone, and Cochrane living in the house it was agreed that he should pay nothing, the rent for the house, to be paid out of the general funds. Cliamier used to see the various letters on business, the account+, and read the manuscripts sent for publication, and Mr. Forsithe, the author of the Wavarley Anecdotes, was introduced to Chamier by Cochrane as his partner. The case was proceeding when we left. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We are informed that the plan which was submitted yesterday to the West India delegates, by Mr. Stanley, is ♦ery unfavourable for the West India planters and mer chants. It is expected it will be made public in the course of this day. At the last dates from Const intinople, the Russian troops were encamped at a short distance from Scutari, expecting reinforcements.

SHIPWRECK.—Accounts reached town yes terday, that the :Tie Mary, of Dublin, MORRIS, master. from Demerara, with sugar: and rum, was totally logt off Cape Clear, the master and two bows only saved.—Fres man's Journal, May 11. LITERATURE. ILLUSTRATIONS OF PoLITICAL ECO NOMY. No. XVI. MESSRS. VANAERrUT ANT) SNOEK. Miss Martineau has endeavoured very suc cessfully to make plain in this number of her admirable productions the mys•eries of bills of exchange, but is occasionally tempted to make excursions into the general question of free , racic. The politico-economical part of the book is connected by a story of a very slight texture, hut of some interest, exhibiting the domestic manners of the Dutch. Although political science is now better understood than formerly, there are still many, both in and out of Parlia ment, who have some silly notions about the disadvantages of trading with a country which requires to be paid in money rather than in goods. For the benefit of these gentlemen wa beg to make the following extract :••••••• " flow can you tease the boy ?' inqoired Master Pe'er. And he asked Christian if be really suppn.ed that every thing that was bought, all the world over, w,is bought with gold and silver? If he would on y comid r the quantity of coin that would have been collecred in 'he States by this time, if all their produce had been thus o a id f. r, he wont , ' see how troublesome such a method of earn , coerce would be. " But some of this money would go away again, Chris.: tian observed, as long as the States hought as well MI sold. However, be perceived that while there was mutual ex - change, it must save much trouble to exchange tl e goods against one another, as far A 8 they would go, and pay only the h dance in money. But this b dance, when lanes, must be a very sad thing for the country that had to pay it. " ' Do you think the country would become liable to pay it,' asked Master Peter, if it had no advantage in return ? Do you think your brother would rib up heavy bills with the French wine-growers, if he did not hope to make profit of their wines? When my country has as many ships as I wish her to have, I shall enc..urage my merchants to—l mean, I hope my countrymen will— make very large purchases from foreign countries.' " ' But if Heins sends away a ship load of guilders,' remonstrated Christian, the States will be so much till poorer, however much wine may come in return; b-ctuse the wine will be drunk in Amsterdam, and paid for with more guilders. And then Heins will send out these guilders again, I suppose, and not care how little money there is left in the couatry, so long as his own pocket is " Heins smiled condescendingly, and promised Cht7. tian that when be grew older he should know better what he was talking about. How should the boy know better, unless his questions were answered ?' asked Gertrude, who came with Katrina to relieve Master Peter of his charge. But the good-natured sailor took his seat on a piece of timber, saying that the little man should have his ques tions properly attended to—questions the very same as had been asked by many a taller, if not a wiser man. Chris.; tian did not like to be called ' little man,' but forgave the expression, in consideration of his questions being thought manly. Peter told him that many Kings having f-ared for their kingdoms what Christian feared for the States.— that they would be emptied of money—had passed law to prohibit money being sent out of the country. Tht ?: had not remembered, any more than Christian, that °the' countries must buy also; so that Heins's neighbours woul be taking money from abroad, while Heins was sending, it out—supposing that it actually went in the shape o' guilders. " ' But how do we know that they will buy ?' asked Christian. 'lf they do not choose to buy—what then?' " ' They always do choose it, and must choose it, since they cannot get what they want in any other way. The iiv en:i and w what pots to and kettles, with and no people in the mine - count ries—in South America—have more than th e y kl know that they consider necessary to their noone g ofcomfort.lidol amany noc eann'd silvera Now,rltoitch :n es t would not it he very fooli.h in their governors to prevent their sending out their spare gold in exchange for what they must otherwise do without ?' " Yes; but Christian thought the case of mining countries peculiar. No where else, he supposed, was precious metal superabundant. If it were indeed—But perhaps the truest sign of there being too much of it was the wish of the people to send it away. What would Master Pet-r do if he was a, ruler? " Master Peter's nation being in great want of gold and silver, he should wish his people to send out as much tallow and timber as they could sell; but if he ruled in Holland, where there was more precious metal than was wanted, be would encourage the Dutch to send out velvet+ and he should tvould h wealth in th e s o s m ak e e m o f or w e h u a s t e fu w l form. as bro u gllan back eihe brandy, for the sake of bringing hack, not money, but . th ca a s t e l% be anxious to have the produce of the country exported. " Of course, Christian observed, there could be little good in sending property away unless for the sake of what is brought back. He, for his part, should have un particu lar wish to dispose of his show-box at the next fair, if lie was to have only an apple in exch Inge ; but he should be glad to sell it for the model of a ship which he much de sired to have. In the latter case, he should be much pleased ; but his pleasure would be, not in parting with his show-box, but in gaining the model. " 4 Well, my dear boy,' said Heins, 'that will do. W. are not children who want to have every thing esplaired by a wise little man like you.' '‘ `'those Kings were not children that Master Peter was speaking of,' observed Christian ; and yet they seemed to want to have it explained that they might as well part with their gold as anything else, since the thing that signified most was whether they got anything better in exchange.' "' You have quite changed your opinion,' said Ger trude. 'An hour ago, you thought it a very sad thing to part with gold.' " Yes; because I thought gold was somehow more valuable than anything else ; that it had a value of its own. But, if there is any one country where gold is of little use, it seems as if it was much like other goods—fit to be changed away when one has too much of it, an I g ot back again when one wants it.' " Then it is time,' said Gertrude, that merchants, and those who rule them, should leave off being very glad when money is imported tattier than goods, and very sorry when it is exported.' " They may feel sure,' Heins observed, that they will soon have an opportunity of getting more money, if they want it. No one thing is bought and told so n'ten as money ; and they may be as confi.lent that some will soon fall in their way as that there would always be blue cloth in the m irket, if every trader in the world bought and sold blue cloth.' " Christian saw yet another consequence from what Master Peter had told him. If gold was very cheap in Peru and very dear in Russia, aid if furs and he np were very cheap in Russia and very dear in Peru, it would do as much good to the one country as to the other to ex change them, while it could do nobody any harm. At this grand discovery the boy wis so delighted that he ran • the risk of bringing on his pain by the start which he made to put his face opposite to Master Peter's."
