He . congratulated Ni tol "' Proprietors upon the concession of the Board lail ) 1 1 by which the Guarantee Fund was made t its e for the dividends as well as for the capital of 't q a4 Y. and by w hich the natives of India were , for i, 44 secured in the enjoyment of that Government tti ) c 'rnPared with Ahem former condition, had 1a at the h ippiest of mankind. It was also m atter 4: 0 -dati o n that his Maji , sty's Government had 4 t 0 leave at the disposal of the Com tit, certain portion of their commercial assets ~.I% *' 3 , aered p ur p os e of pensioning the talented ;I l i' "two circumstances rendered it necessary they i4 4 kharge. Referring to Mr. Grant's letter of the Ni t ! , the Ha n . P ro pri e tor pointed out how great a tp tti l l the Ri g h t H onoura bl e G e ntleman had made, i tt l e t that the dividend should by law have a to all other territorial payments in this IC 41 Another important concession was the giving a claim of a veto on the recall of military a'' or '' in India.—(Hear, bear, hear.) The L'ilit„,birectors had done perfectly right in re s i stin g r e , L. C S for they of course knew e ver y minute parti ttATecting the fitness •or unfitness, the good or bad 1 4 Y military commanders in India, whilst ' 1 1 ) ,; 0 f Control, which claimed the veto, could C. imperfect knowledge in that respect. It C: 4 wise, therefore, in his Blajesty's Govern itr giv e up the c l a im. With respect to the ty. Government"c the Court had asked for, as h' were ready to entertain any practi eaped f that for the purpose of obtaining it, he f ivot. , "ne would b e sugg ested in the Court which iiu the o bj ections of his Ma j •sty ' s Mi n i sters . I n hi s 1, dung sentence Mr. Grant had these important words : t,,Y the Legislature the various parts of the measure 1 14 f ullY canvassed and finally arranged. Now there li t „ 0 0 doubt th a t, i n th e course of the discussions in Par litist.ilatails of unspeakable importance would demand IhN'ution, and therefore in the resolution he should have j : 411 ' of moving, he claimed, on behalf of the Com a communication of the earliest printed copy o f l l ' and the earliest intimation of any changes in the fs t q the plan. There were some details which had i ht e trri been alluded to, but which they had a til a rest in. F o r instance, by what name was the ° Y to he known ? Not by the name of " The r, 16, "rapany of Merchants of England, trading tpfi , East I n di es ," w h e n, in point of fact, 1. 1110 cease to trade altogether.—(Hear.) Per- II might be called the "Joint Company , for the 4 nment of the British territories in England , " ,4 • Y rate, as in other points, they ought to have is t Wbat they had snore . particularly to consider now, p u Were th e two points of the amount of the Gut- I k ii p i " 0 and of publicity. With respect to the th t tlt s although it was true, as the Right `hi resident of ti e Board of CA ntrol had said, that ti ts• ] , re had, in the first instance, suggested that %.'' l i - ,'" ) na would be sufficient as a Gil trantee 0 1 1 1 , - must be recollected that circumstances had O k f` changed since that suggestion was made. As V I AIL III an and deputy-chairman in their letter of the 4'.' Observed, nothing definite Lad then been arranged i 4 0 to the term of the annuity, and the view Itht i t: " by the Proprietors was, that at t he ex p iration il t ,; 1 : 41 (since limited to forty years) the Guarantee l _ t h its accumulations should be equ al to o sh V tal then to be discharged.—(Hear, hear.) Of itt, 4° , t hing less than three millions could effect this si 1 , 1 , 11 e Chairman, in the same letter, afterwards ittl,,„ "e same principle might, perhaps, be main 'a4.'"plustently with a limitation of the fund to two ,Nc, ' 1 determining that the annuity should be irre- N, e (unless at the option of the Proprietors in the ses e 1,, , th Y separately provided for) until the Guarantee 'Il 4 a ll have accumulated to twelve millions." He N''t quite agree in thinking the two millions mill.it upon this principle as good as the 1$ 0114 proposed on the original principle, for, in N lt , war stopping the remittance of the dividends , r h L tr'lliona would pay those dividends for a longer Ili, h than two millions. His Majesty's Govern -014 elvtver, having in Mr- Grant's subsequent let t er is ttti ttli of June agreed either to let the annuity 1, 4 0, 'eine le till the two millions accumulated to : I °r till the country made up the twelve millions, 'I L Nis the difficulty in the way of accepting two millions O r I ' x l three millions as a guarantee fund was removed. \,` of ~,t Point in order to be considered was the dis .Ve two chairs, as far as regarded the publicity. . I 'l 4 -4> fear. ) TO show the necessity of it, it was ile,, 4 "sat to name one or two cases that had VY tr Y • at *l "nanired,—the fist was that of Mr. Rickettr, t t i li t 'ell theßoard of Control said there was no demand 1154,4 eO tnpany th either in law, justice, or equity, yet itkltsd the party had friends who went round and tx i .P members for the purpose of supporting lt,foll o justice, a Bill to make the Company, who could 1,i,, such a plan, liable, was brought in and carried. " \ .sti It4 . _ his friends to . stay a little, for he had a S'Bl, k `be case yet to bring forward. What dill they ' 't li Po t ;", e Nozeed affair ?--(Laughter.) He need only t' k t IV s that the second reading of it being brought on ,Itilt,:qoestlay, the Lord Chancellor, who had brought 1111,curful mind to bear on the matter, and who saw the ti li°77 k i Si i ,„ l/ti ve of the whole affair, reques!ed that it should , re.• li t ,'le', 4 ed only till the Friday ; but what was the s '" l er' 'V.

Mr. Rica seconded the motion, and was left speaking. MPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY. MONDAY, , JUTE 10. HOUSE OF COMMONS. - - - The SPEAKER entered the House a few minutes after 12 o'clock. Mr. BYNG moved that the order of the day for the further consideration of the report on the Kentish Town and Holloway Road Bill be read. On its being read, the How. MEmßEtia moved the inser tion of several amendments and clauses, which went through the several stages. Sir S. WHALLEY, as one of the Committee, said be objected to one of the clauses, but the Committee were told that there was a power, not be hind the throne, but before the throne, who won'd reject the Bill in the other House, if the clause giving the power of the funds in a self-elected body were not inserted. In consequence the clause was with re'oc tance acceded to, but he hoped that some understanding would be come to with the other House, so as to facilitate the passing of road Bills, and regulating the control of the road funds. _ Mr. HUME concurred in those observations, and said that until the adoption of the Turnpike Act, the roads trustees were not compelled to exhibit any of their ac counts ; but by that Act, they were obliged to lodge a copy of their annual accounts with the clerks of the peace. The Bill and the amendments were ordered to be en grossed. On the motion of Sir R. HILL, the Shrewsbury, Wel lington, and Watling-street Roads' Improvement Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. E. STANLEY brought in a Bill for Watching, Lighting, and otherwise Improving the Town and Harbour of Maryport.—Read a first and second time, and ordered to be committed. _ _ _ . Oa the motion of Mr. HUME, the St. Luke's Poor Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the burgh of St. Andrew, complaining of the alterations that had been made by the Committee on the Scotch Law Re form Bill. He said that the same disappointment was experienced in all the Scotch burghs, particularly as re garded regulations for selecting the constituency. Lord WILLIAM LENNOX presented a petition, signed by 145 of the inhabitants of King's Lynn, in Nor flk, praying for an alteration in the mode of clewing their municipal officers. The Noble Lord said that the petitioners made one charge which he could not concur in ; they charged that the election of their municipal officers was conducted without reference to their fitness for office ; he had reason to believe that the present members of that corporation were highly respectable and honourable men. . . Lord G. BENTINCK said he believed that no munici pal authorities would object to an extension of the coned. tuency to the respectable householders, but with regard to the present petition, he entreated the House to look at the conduct of the parties. The members of the Corporation of King's Lynn were a most respectable body of men, and be entreated that the House would not take it for granted that all the sweeping charges of corruption in corporations were true. Ali the corporation funds and charitable funds that were intrusted to the Corporation of King's Lynn were most scrupulously laid ont in the way they were intended to be; indeed, a great portion of the corporation funds were laid out for objects for which, strictly speaking, a rate ought to be levied upon the inhabitants. The petition had been chiefly promoted by two individuals named Hare and Reynolds, and of the conduct of those persons the House would judge, when they were informed that in 1826 Mr. Hare endeavoured to get Mr. Reynolds his freedom, alleging that Reynolds had served a 7 years' ap prenticeship to him, when in fact it appeared from the watermark of the alleged deed of indenture that the paper could not have been manufactured for two years after the date that appeared upon the face of it. The opinion of Counsel was taken, and by their advice a pro secution was commenced against those two persons for a conspiracy, but upon their expressing contrition, and pay ing the costs, the corporation consented to stay further proceedings. He trusted now that he had said quite enough to enable the House to judge of the dependence to be placed in the promoters of the petition.—(Hear.) Mr. BANNERMAN presented a petition from the females of Aberdeen against slavery. Mr. A. JOHNSTONE presented a petition from the General assembly of the Church of Scotland, against the System of Government National Education in Ireland. The Hon. Member deprecated any plan of education that did not admit persons of all persuasions to the enjoyment of its benefits. An flox. MEMBER regretted that an enlightened as sembly, like the petitioners, should have sanctioned such petition, one that he believed had arisen from political feelings, and been got up for the purpose of embarrassing Ministers. _ _ Mr. HUNIE trusted the House would not sanction the prayer of a petition, the tendency of which would be to put a stop to a system whose operations were going on well in Ireland. _ _ . Mr. A. JOHNSTONE defended the conduct of the petitioners; denying that they had any such ebjects in view in presenting the petition as those stated by an Hon. Member. Dr. BALDWIN opposed the prayer of the petition. Mr. JOHNSTONE explained. Mr. APLEOD had supported the Ministerial measure of Irish education in all its stages in that House. It was substantially an experimental p'an, and it had succeeded, considering all the obstacles which had been thrown in its way, far beyond iris mast sanguine expectations. He therefore deplored the sentiments which the General Assembly had, on the present occision, expressed. The majority of Presbyterian ministers in Scotland especially of the Dissenters, who were inferior in respecta bility and numb e rs to no body—not even to the General Assembly—he knew was decidedly in favour of the system. Mr. FINN congratulated the Government on the suc cess of their measure of Irish education. It was due to them, while he disapproved of their general conduct, that he should express his gratitude and thanks to them on the present occasion. —(Hear, hear.) The system bad been fairly tried and had succeeded, and would be produc tive of Pleat advantage to Ireland. Col. L. HAY vindicated the conduct and sentiments - . of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, and stated, in proof of their liberality of feeling towards Roman Catholics, that they were the first public eccle siastical body In Scotland which had petitioned in favour of a removal of their civil disabilities. After a few observations Irom Sir A. AGNEW and Mr. LALOR, the petition was ordered to lie on the table. Mr. FINN gave notice, for the 4th of July, of a motion declaratory that it is expedient to impose a tax on Irish ab..enteeism, the produce to be ap plied in public works, in order, as far as possi• ble, to compensate the labouring classes for the disadvantages they have incurred by the withdrawal of capital from that country. The Hon. Member also gave notice of a motion for the save day for a resolution of the House to the effect, that the salaries of the Irish Judges ought to be reduced to the amount received in 1792, having regard to the compensation subsequently give❑ them in lieu of fees. SIR THOMAS TROUBRIDGE. Mr. COBBETT said that he had a petition to pre sent of considerable importance, and containing charges of a very grave nature against an Hon. Member of that House. The petition was from the electors of Sandwich, and as it contained charges, if true, which would render Sir Thomas Troubridge ineligible to sit in that House, he (Mr. C.) had thought it his duty to make every inquiry into the subject before he presented the petition. At the head of the signatures of that petition was the name of Captain Owen, whom he (Mr. C.) had made a point of seeing on the subject, who stated his contest wish that the petition should be pre sented, and had given him (Mr. C.) his reasons for sign ing the petition in writing. The Honourable Member proceeded to read the whole of the petition, which asserted that Sir Thomas Troubridge was ineligible to sit in that House, as he had impos.d upon the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, and had procured for himself appointments under them worth 6,000/.a year, by means of a false registry, which stated that he was more than 21, when he was only 17, and by means of which the Orders in Council were evaded, and Sir Thomaa Troubridge promoted. The petition prayed that the House would institute an inquiry into the subject. He (Mr. Cobbett) did not take upon himself to assert that the allegations of the petition were true, because he had from the beginning been careful not to commit him self upon them—(Hear)—but he would read to the House a letter he had received from one of the parties which had signed the petition. This letter, as we understood him to say, was from Cipt. Owen, and stated that his motive for signing the petition was for the public good, as Lis so doing could not in any way benefit his worldly good, or advance his promotion. A 9 a declared Reformer, ae writer considered that Sir Thomas Troubridge was hound to have followed up the principles of reform, instead of acting in direct opposition to them in his own per son.—(Hear, bear.) The letter then went on to state the injury derived from such proceedings, both by the naval service and the country. The Hon. Member then said it was net so much to the charge of favouritism that he called the attention of the House, as to that of fraud, for fraud was directly alleged.—(Hear.) It was a fraud that he should, if it were true, have received his pay, and exercised his power for so many years. He believed that many of our naval losses might la,! traced to the improper promotions which hail from time to time taken place. Captain Baker, who was taken by an American frigate, after an action of 20 or 25 minutes, had been made a Captain at 17 or 18 ; and be was satisfied that most of our losses in the American war could be traced to such practices. A man bad re cently been deprived of his franchise for antedating his certificate ; and be knew not why the same justice should not be meted to officers who had committed the sarnefraud. He would leave the House to deal with the petition--. (Hear, hear )--be would leave the reformed House of Par liament to deal with the petition as it thought fit.—(Hear.) Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDGE trusted the House would indulge him while he made a few remarks, in which he had no doubt he should be able fully to prove that the petition arose entirely out o ielectioneering motives.-- To make the case clear, he would state exactly what did oc cur. When he went to canvass the electors of Sandwich he found that a person unconnected with that town, named Edwards, had arrived there with Captain Owen for the purpose of assisting the Captain. What extraordinary con duct did the House think was then adopted ? They applied to the mayor and jurats for a warrant to arrest him (Sir T. Troubridge) on a charge of fraudulently obtaining money on the high seas—(Hear, hear, and loud laughter) —the fraudulently obtaining the money was alleged to have been the pay which he received while he was on service at an early age. That was stated to be a fraud. The Mayor re fused to grant the warrant until the day after the election, when he called the jurats together to inquire into the charge, but Captain Owen then refused to prefer it, stating that be should prefer it some other time at Bow street. He, therefoie, thought it was clear that the charge was an electioneering trick.—(Hear, hear.) The evil—if it were one—complained of in the petition, must be attributed to the Order in Council of 1806, which regulated the periods of promotion. For himself, he served his full six years as a midshipman, and having passed his examinations, in accordance with the regulations, he was in 1805 made a lieutenant. It was true he was promoted at an early age, but be would state fearlessly, that most of the gallant and best officers—including Lord Nelson hiteself—had been promoted at an early age.—(Laud cries of " Hear, hear.") However, twenty-eight years had now elapsed since he (Sir T. Troubridge) had been promoted to therank complained of, and no charge bad during all that time been brought forward.—(Hear, hear.) Then as to sitting on courtsmartial, he declared that he never sat upon one till he was more than 21 years of age.— (Hear.) He could not help expressing his surprise that any brother officers, well knowing the exact state of the ser vice of those days, should sign such a petition as that which had now been presented.—(Hear, hear, hear.) That individual, however, was the brother of the Gall ant Admiral, his (Sir T. Troubridge's) unsuccessful opponent; but he had the satisfaction of knowing that that Gallant Admiral bad most handsomely disclaimed all participation in thi', what he would term it, disgraceful affair.—(Cheers.) He felt satisfied that his brother officers knew and appreciated his conduct, and having said this much, be would leave the subject in the hands of the House —(Cheers.) Sir J. GRAHAM said, that after the very satisfactory explanation which had been given by the Hon. and Gallant Baronet, it might be perhaps considered almost unneces sary for him to say a word. But standing in the relation which be did to the gallant service to which the Honourable Baronet belonged, he should consider himself wanting in duty to the public, if he did not ad dress a few words to the House. It was true that the Hon Member who had presented the petition had ap prised him of his intention of doing so.--(Hear.) But he could .not help expresssing his great astonishment that he should have thought fit to make himself the channel of an imputation, calculated not only to deeply wound the feelings of the living, but to cast a slur on some of the greatest naval heroes that England had produced. He held in his hand a list of not less than 39 naval officers who had gained their promotion under circumstances identically the same as those that had been complained of. The Order in Council of 1746 had been considered at the Admiralty as a dead letter— (Hear, hear)—no notice having been latterly taken of the age of a young man previous to promoting him to a Lieutenancy. In time of war it was considered improvident to act upon the order, and young men were promoted from a midshipman to a Lieutenancy. Of the 39 officers he had referred to he would read the names of seven. First was Nelson, who had attained a lieutenancy at 18 ; then followed Lord Exmouth, Sir H. Hotham, Sir Wm. Hoste, and Captain Edward Pellew, all of whom had attained promotion at very early ages —(Hear, hear.) Was the Hon. Member aware of the character of the individual he had attacked, or his distinguished father? The Gallant Baronet's father was the distin. guished bosom friend of Lord Nelson. He was his right arm, and had never failed him in the hour of need. He had fallen in the service of his country, and was it too much to say that his son bad claims on it ? The Hon. Member had stated, that he had great attachment to the naval service of the country. If he had, he had certainly taken a strange m, ans of showing it. This petition, there could be no doubt, bad arisen out of an election squabble. It was an attempt, on the part of an unsuccessful party, to vilify and blacken the character, and wound the feelings of his more successful opponent. As to the statement of Captain Owen, wbo had signed the pe tition, that in doing so he should injure his worldly prosp. , cts, he might take it from him that, so far as he WAS concerned, be should not attempt to injure them, but what the House and the country might think of the mora lity of the line of conduct he had adoptedwas another thing. If a Member of that House presented a petition charging another Hon. Memher with fraud, he ought before hand to have satisfied himself that its allegations were correct. No such petition should be presented, unless the Hon. Memher was satisfied that the charge could be ruade good. (Cheers.) It was a charge tending to revile the dead, and injure the feelings of the living, and he should move that the petition rejected.—(Che re. ) Sir E. CODHINGTON seconded the motion ; which being put as an amendment, with the original motion that the petition do lie upon the table, M-. MARRYAT designated the petition as one arising entirely from electioneering disappointment. It ought to have been sent forward as a petition against the return of his colleague, for his allegations went to affect his seat in in that House—(Hear)—but then the petitioners well knew it would revert with all its expenses upon them as frivolous and vexatious.—(Cheers.) Mr. COBBETT rose to reply, but was met with loud cries of " Time, time," and " Adjourn," and it being then pet three o'clock, the House was adjourned upon the motion of Sir E. Codrington. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 8. TO THE EDITHR OF THE SUN. Sut,—The arrival of the mail last night was most anxiously looked for. It was delayed an hour in conse quence of an upset, by which a respected fellow townsman, Mr. Hicks, is much hurt. The second edition of your Journal, containing the pithy reply of our good King to the address of the Lords, was the principal means of diffu4ing the grateful intelligence amongst the Plymouth politicians, who are, for the most part, highly elated at the finished foil by which the Minister has been enabled to resist the " ruse politique" of the Duke's party. It most not be concealed, however, that the people of England, the thinking portion of the community, disdaining to accom plish a purposed good, by the evil means of demagogues and mobs, as much as abhorring the servility which would truckle to the overweening u►tra-Tory faction, which disgraces an aristocracy,—it must be recollected, Sir, by the Grey Administration, that, supported by these people, and backed by the King, the acts of our Ministers should be in proportion to the power which can be exercised to effect them. The generality of persons at this point of the empire look for the realization of the motto " Fuire sans dire," the hope that the Minister, without being flushed by victory, will still, having a giant's strength, use it with the wisdom of a serpent, to the end that we may yet taste the fruit of reform. The eyes of the people are on the House of Commons, and the industry of ourrepre sentatives will be the only and surest means of satisfying their constituencies. The session must not be allowed to escape without the accomplishment of some, at least, of the great objects fur which the present Members were re turned. S. Ministers have ascertained that the majority in the House of Lords against the Irish Church Reform Bill will exceed thirty. It reniains to be seen, whether they will create Pears at once, or wait until a vote of the House on the question shall again demonstrate the ces f•ity of such a measure. —Morning Advei tis er.

It is an interesting spot, independently of the be a uty of its situation being rich i n many of the brightest events in the history of our native country. A man of taste may here enjoy the rational and invigorating pleasures of rural retirement, or recreate himself from the fatigues of business, while the short dis tance from London (only 18 miles), and the facility of conveyance, both by laud and water, afford ample oppor tunity of partaking, at pleasure, of the diversions and amusements of the metropolis. It is presumed that this delightful, undulating, and commanding situation, em bracing alike extensive prospects of a beautiful country, and the heart•stirring scene of innumerable shipping, bearing their treasures from all parts of the world to the port of London, added to the short distance from the ca pital, will render many of the allotments eminently de sirable for the erection of Villas, Cottages, Ornees, and other Country Residences. The property includes rich and productive Arable, Pasture, Meadow, Marsh, and Woodlands, Chalk-works, Rail-road, and Shipping-wharf on the Thames,—Houses, Gardens, Cottages, &c.

The only sentence which at all conveys anything like an expression of feeling or opinion, is that where the great Con. tinental Powers are alluded to. During the progress of the Egyptian quarrel, " those Ca binets," says the Moniteur Ottoman, " which are especially considered to be the representa tives of the progress of civilization, remained wholly indifferent, because they were engaged in affairs which they probably considered to be more important. At that time, energetic lan guage would have commanded general tran quillity ; now, recourse must be had to fleets and armies, and to all the military display which is never without prejudice to the protector as well as the protected, and often puts to greater hazard the peace which it is intended to insure." This last sentence would seem to bear a direct allusion to Russia; and if so, it is manifest that the Porte is just beginning to feel uneasiness as to the probable result of such inauspicious patronage. But its distrust, however wholesome and expedient, will avail little in finally warding off, though it may for a brief season, protract, the evil hour of Russian domination, Peace being once effectually secured between the Porte and MEHEMET ALI, it will be NICHOLAS'S turn next to commence liti gation. He will take up the position which the Egyptian has just abandoned ;—that is to say, he will become a suitor for justice at the hands of the Porte, backed by a powerful army to give weight to his demands. He will claim compensation for the expenses to which he has been put by his recent interference, and knowing well that the Porte cannot satisfy him, will most probably content himself with pocketing another province or two by way of equivalent, and in corroboration of his claims to superior liberality and disin terestedness. The conduct of Russia from the commencement of the Egyptian struggle (which it had long foreseen and provided for, possibly by an indirect encouragement of IBRA HIM) has been marked by consummate skill and duplicity. In all the arts of diplomatic finesse, her Cabinet is a match for combined Europe. Were her strength in the field but equal to her cunning in the closet, she would soon see the whole continent at her feet. Till the Russian bear is muzzled, and the monster's paws lashed fast behind his back, there can be no hope of permanent peace for Europe. The St. Peters burgh Cabinet is the last strong-hold of des potism and bigotry. It has been stated that the Tories in the House of Lords reckoned on a majority of more than 30 against the Irish Church Reform Bill. This was the fact, but it is stated to-day by the friends of Ministers, with great confidence, that the reproof which the Tories have met with on the Portuguese question has cooled the courage of that party, and that, being now fully aware of the consequences which might result from the rejection of the Irish Church Reform Bill, they do not intend to offer any decided oppo sition to that measure. All those persons who do not desire the extinction of the power of the House of Peers as a third branch of the Legislature, will be glad to see this statement confirmed. Even the force of habit, which has so long reconciled the people of this country to the domination of the hereditary Aristocracy, would be insufficient to prevent the effect of the suicidal blow which the House of Peers would inflict upon itself, were it to re ject the only remedial measure which has been introduced by the reformed House of Commons in favour of a country in which all the constitutional rights of the people have been, for a time, at least, prostrated, in order to gratify the Conservatives. For our own part, although there may be reason to regret that a return to reason may prevent the necessity of immedi a t e ly adopting measures which would place the House of Peers on a more constitutional footing, we cannot but con gratulate the Tory Aristocracy on the conviction which they are said to have acquired, of the importance of acting more in consonance with the wishes of the people than they have hitherto done. It seems that the Bishops bad taken alarm ,and that out of consideration to them, the Wellington party mean to refrain from any act of open de fiance ; but it does not require any extraordinary powers of foresight to predict that, although the Bishops m a y go th roug h the year 18 3 3 as legislators, they will have to struggle hard in the next year for the retention of a character so opposed to the intentions of their divine office, and so incompatible, as experience has shown, with the true interests of the country.

The trade throughout manifested some indications of improvement. This morning the fresh arrivals are not considerable, and there is a good attendance of buyers in the market. All the fine dry samples of Wheat were readily taken off at full ls. to 28. per quarter advance upon last terms, but the trade for all other sorts has not improved. Barley for grinding free sale and Is. to 2s. per quarter dearer. Beans that are dry are in ready demand, and full 2s. ,per quarter advance has been ob tained.

We have received a Jamaica paper one day later than the last, the Kingston Chronicle, which states " that it is now apparent to all dispassionate observers that, if the Jamaica Legislature meets the views of the British Govern_ ment in a spirit of confidence and conciliation, they will find the Ministry disposed to consider their claims and protect their interests, which is likely to avert the evils of any contemplated change of system. We consider that the only means of saving the colony from precipitate ruin is by the majority of loyal and national Members combining together, in a firm compact, to resist the few who may agile endeavour, by senseless clamour and boastful threats, to embroil the country in anarchy and civil war." By the French mail this morning we have accounts from Lisbon to May 24. The following official notifica tion has been published there : " I have the honour to inform your Excellencie., that the new battery which I caused to be constructed at the chateau of Gaya, has commenced firing on the town of Oporto, causing g!eat damage and terror, and that the consuls of foreign nations residing there hoisted their respective flags on their houses, and desired they would be respected ; in answer to which, I stated it was impossible for me to cease the firing, or to give them protection in a town besieged ; but if they desired to leave the town, all facility should be rendered to them for that purpose. (Signed) " Count de SAN LORENCO. " Head-quarters, S. Mamede da Infesta, May 15. Accounts from Paris state that M. Talieyrand has sent by an extraordinary courier a treaty between Austria and the King of Sardinia, by which the territory united to Sardinia in 1815, is to form the ancient principality of Chablais in part to the kingdom of Sardinia, and is to be occupied by Austro.Sardinian troops during 18 months. Accounts from the frontiers of Italy state that the Austrian troops cantoned in the Bregeuts have been re inforced to the number of 13,000 men. The Grand Austrian army in Italy is stated to be at from 120,000 to 150,000 men. Information from Berlin says that letters hive been received there from Poland, stating that at Warsaw seve ral Russian officers have been assassinated, and that Prince Paskewitsch was near experiencing the same fate. TEM FUNDS. Our arrivals this morning are of a scanty description, but by the information we have by the French mail, it ap pears that in Italy, Switzerland, and Poland, all is not in a tranquil state, which no doubt the French Govern ment were aware of for some time past, by proposing to establish four camps; it also appeals, that the Ati,tt ians are on the alert, with a watchful eye on the Germans and the Tyrol. The estefette from Paris is of minor importance, de French 3 per Cents. come lower, owing to the report of the death of Prince Talleyrand. The British Funds this morning maintain Saturday's prices. Consols which left off on Saturday at 904 for the Account, opened at the same price this morning, with little doing as yet. The Foreign Market is void of business as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. We now can give more accurate information respecting the departure of the Dutch Ambassador, M. Dedel, from London. His previous mission to this country, the object of which was the accomplishment of the treaty, having been fulfilled, he now goes to Holland on leave of absence from his Dutch Majesty, to wait the decision of the Five Powers in respect to the final settlement of the Dutch affaire. Four of the Ambassadors have already assembled, and one from Austria is expected in about eight or ten days. In the interim M. Dedel will visit his family, and 11 I receive verbally from the King of H o lland his f u ture in -391 structions. Consols, which were daring the morning sot for the Account, may be quoted at present at 901, with little doing. In the Foreign Market Dutch Stock had lowered in the morning, since which it has improved. la other Secu rities little doing. We have just received an express from Holland, which brings the Dutch Funds on Saturday one per cent, higher. Consols done at 901 91 for the Account. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 901 91. It appears that the project of Lord Althorp for a Bank Charter, which at first w is favourably received among all classes of the moneyed interest, is likely to meet with some unexpected impediments. The committee of country bankers held a meeting yesterday on the subject, at which it was unanimously determined to oppose it, and objections to the plan are also spreading among the joint ,tock banks already existing, the members of which con ceive that one of its consequences will be to destroy all such banks as are not established on a very large scale, and to concentrate the whole banking business of England and Wales in a few joint-stock banks of very large capital. Lord Althorp proposes that Government shall have the power of determining how much capital a bank will require before they obtain a charter, which is to ascer tain far them what they have not ascertained for them selves ; for the capital which a hank required is regu lated, not by the place or places where it does business, but by the quantity of business it does ; and if Lord Althorp should require a very large capital to be paid up at the outset, it is only in London, Manchester, and a few other large towns, that there is the remotest chance of joint stock banks being formed. People will not advance a large capital in anticipation of a business which may never be created merely to satisfy the imagination of the Go vernment. Any legitimate object which Lord Althorp may have in view, it is contended, will be fully obtained by publicity of accounts. By this both the shareholders and the public will at all times be informed whether the capital of the Bank is sufficient for its engagements or not, and will act accordingly.-- Times. 10- The advices from Canada give a very satisfac tory account of the commercial activity and enterprising spirit prevalent in that dependency.
