His MAJESTY'S Government, however, very properly resisted this attempt of the slave owners to dictate to the Crown the choice of its law officers. Mr. JERENIIE was sent back to the Mauritius, the force there was strengthened, and the planters given to understand that their conduct would not be tolerated. Mr. JEREMIE arrived in the Mauritius at the latter end of April last, and two days after the following pro test was drawn up, and, it is said, signed by several of the most influential inhabitants of the colony : " The undersigned, colonists of the island of Mauritius, solemnly declare that it is false and calumnious to affirm, as their enemies have affirmed to the British Government, that they rose against the Royal authority. They appeal to the testimony of his Excellency Sir Charles Colville, and of all men of good faith who were witnesses of the events of the past year. Their conduct at that period was dictated and amply justified by the urgent necessity of saving their country from the dangers and from the im minent ruin with which it w,ts threatened. " The undersigned, in consequence of the disorders and burnings occasioned by the simple announcement of Mr. Jeremie's arrival, did, in June, 1832, supplicate the representative of his Majesty in this colony to remove this functionary from the island, as the most dangerous enemy of the colonists. Their demand was granted, after the mature deliberation of all the competent authorities. " The undersigned supplicated his Majesty's Govern ment not to send Mr. Jeremie back to the Mauritius. The King's Ministers, deceived by false reports, have been pleased to regard the colonists as rebels ; they have sent back Mr. Jeremie to the island ; they have adopted a number of severe and unjust measures; they have arbitra rily violated many fundamental laws, which were guaran teed by the capitulation. " The undersigned, in order to prove their obedience to the Sovereign, to whom they have sworn allegiance, and in order that no breach of the public peace which might befall may be in any manner imputed to them, submit, though with profound grief and concern, to the repeated orders of his Majesty, and to the violation of their laws and fundamental institutions. " But against this violation they loudly protest ; they make express reservation of all their rights ; and they place their confidence in the justice of the King, of Par liament, and of the English nation, to whom their De puty is gone to prefer their complaints. They firmly hope that this confidence will ❑ot be deceived—that they will not be reduced to despair—and that their moderation and their patience will be appreciated and rewarded by the Representatives of the nation, and by his Majesty, better informed. " At the isiand of Mauritius, this Ist of May, 1833." Signed, &c. Now be it remembered that Air. JEREMIE'S only offence was the having written certain pamphlets against slavery. The discontent of the black population did not, if we rightly recol lect, manifest itself till Mr. JEREMIE, whom they looked upon as a friend, had been driven from the island. That the pretended grounds of hostility to Mr. JEREMIE stated by the planters had no real foundation, will be suffi ciently proved by the undistrubed peace of the colony. The slaves have received in Mr. JEREMIE'S appointment the balm of hope, and we have little fear of thei r committing any outrage, unless driven to it by entraordinary violence and oppression on the part of the planters, before the news of the eman cipation bill reaches them. As to the violation of fundamental laws, gua ranteed by the articles of capitulation, of which the planters complain, we are at a loss to under stand what is meant. Their resistance to the appointment of JEREMIE was grounded upon his writings, for they confessedly had no other knowledge of him before his arrival, and we do not suppose that the articles of capitulation justify resistance to the appointment of individuals who entertain particular views on any question. If the resistance be not justifiable, of course they cannot fairly complain of the measures taken to put it down. We trust that the ill feelings evidently entertained by the Mauritians (the whites) upon the subject of ameliorating the condition of the slaves, does not afford a sample of the feelings with which they will re ceive the plan of emancipation. It will go hard with them if they do, for the people of England, after having made the enormous sacrifice they have to obtain the negroes their liberty, are in no humour to be trifled with. Among the Parliamentary Papers lately printed is one which has greatly excited the at tention of our cotemporaries, and and called forth the indignation of the public. Under a statute of the 7th and Bth William 111. (cap. 6, sec. 1 and 2), afterwards extended by the 53d Geo. 111. cap. 127, clergymen appear to be authorised to demand from labourers a part of their wages (fourpence in the pound) for tithes, offerings, oblations, and obventions. A clergyman named Lundy, Rector of Lockington, in the East Riding of York, in October last year, thought proper to revive this obsolete demand. A person named John Hudson laid a complaint, on behalf of the reverend gentleman, before two magistrates, one of them a brother clergyman, the Rev. John Blanchard, against certain labourers, for not having paid this demand. The following is a list of the labour ers, of their wages, and of the sum this clerical extortioner wished to screw out of them : Wages. Sums demanded.

The warrant of commitment is signed by the clerical magistrate only. It is curious in its way, and we give it entire. " East Riding of the County of York. " To all Constables in the said Riding, and (speci a lly to the Constable of the Townshi p of Lockin g ton, in the said Riding, and to the Keeper of the House of Cor rection at Beverley. " These are, in His Majesty's name, to command you, the said constable of Lockington, forthwith to convey and deliver into the custody of the said keeper the body of Jeremiah Dodsworth, of l..ockington, servant in hus bandry, convicted before me, one of His Majesty's justices of the peace for the said riding, upon the oath of Peter Roantre, constable of Lockington, that the said Jemere• miah Dodsworth having rafused to pay his tithes, offer ings, oblations, and obventions, due to the Rev.

Francis Lundy : and whereas a distress warrant was issued upon the goods and chattels of the said Jeremiah Dods worth, and the said Peter Roantre having sworn that no distress could be found upon the goods of the said Jeremiah Dodaworth, and the expenses of the said distress, amount ing to 55., together with this warrant of commitment. " And you the said keeper are hereby required to receive the said Jeremiah Dodsworth into your said custody, and him safely there to keep, for the space of three calendar months ; and for your so doing this shall be to you and every of you a sufficient warrant. " Given under my hand and seal this 22d of December, in the year of our Lord 1832. " JOHN BLANCHARD." So, here is a man committed to gaol for three months by a clergyman for not being able to pay to another clergyman a demand made for a share of his wages. The meek, the Christian creatures, with what propriety must they not harangue their congregations on the Sunday, on all the virtues they have shown so great a reverence for during the week ? With what edification must not their congregations listen to them ? Our cotemporary the Times has the following observations upon these facts:— " There is no doubt that the Bishop of London, on perusing the documents of this case, which have been pre sented to the House of Commons, and printed by order of that body,--there is, we say, no doubt that the Bishop of London might get up in his place, and very plausibly complai❑ that the demand was " lawful,"—that the la bourer was " liable,"--that the poor man, not having 4s. 4d. worth of goods in the world on which to levy a di-tress, became amenably by the impri•onment of his own flesh and blood ; that the service of the demand was " regular," and the summons, and distress warrant, and final warrant for imprisoning Dodsworth, were all strictly according to Magisterial form ; but what will the country say to such laws—that is the point ? What will the country say to such technical defences of the heartless execution of a most indecent aed barbarous statute? We protest the clergy of England appear to us to have gone mad—revolting and disgusting the whole world, instead of recommending themselves to public confidence and goodwill. Our consolation, however, is, that they are doing the work of the nation, and that more effectually than the hottest Church Reformers could have required." In these remarks we entirely concur. The clergy appear at present to be playing the very game played by the Tories when they refused all reform. COURT CIRCULAR. The Chevalier de MArros, the Brazilian Minister, transancted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. The LORD CHANCELLOR left town, on Thursday even ing, for the North.—The Marquis of LANSDOWN left for his seat at Bowood, Wilts.—Lord JOHN RUSSELL left town, on Thursday, for Oxford ; his Lordship is expected to proceed to the seat of the Marquis of ABERCORN, at Barron's Court, Ireland. _ Mr. MAvEus, the agent for Barbadoes, and Sir PERE. GRINE MAITLAND, the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, transacted business yesterday, at the Colonial Office. Several of the Foreign Ministers had interviews with Prince LJE!EN, yesterday, at Ashburnhana House. COWES, AUGUST 29, The Falcon returned to her moorings from St. Law rence Bay, in the roads at 7 A.M., the day before yester day. She is now taking on board stores for the voyage to Cherbourg. and intends to e,et under weigh at 1 r.m. The whole of the squadron have instructions to sail at the same hour. It is expected that Lord Yarborough will have the honour of entertaining the King of the French with a magnificent aquatic fete on board his superb vessel. It is said that upwards of 100 pleasure yachts, with the Eng lish flag, will be assembled at Cherbourg. A notification, we understand, has been received by the squadron from the Mayor of Cherbourg, informing them that Admiral de Rig ny, the Minister of Marine, has ordered several French ships of the line from Brest and Toulon, it being intended by the King to review the fleet fur the first time since his accession to the throne. Owing to the continu ance of delightful weather their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria daily embark on board the Emerald to enjoy marine excursions. They have now visited in suecsssson the leading members of the squadron; the last they honoured with a visit was the Duke of Norfolk in the Arundel cutter. As an instance of the Duchess of Kent's consideration for the inferior members of her establishment, she gave directions for a very agreeable fete to be prepared for them, on board the Messenger Government steamer, on Friday last. The entertainment was intended to celebrate the natal day of the Duchess. Their Royal Highnesses were not present at the mirthful party, not wishing pro bably, to impose any restraint on them. Yesterday afternoon their Royal Highnesses and suite paid their first visit somewhat unexpectedly to West Cowes. The Emerald came to an anchor opposite the Squadron•house, and landed the Duchess and Princess unaer a royal salute from the Secretary's battery. Their Royal Highnesses, attended by Sir John, Lady, and the Misses Conroy, and Lady C. Jetakinson, proceeded along the Parade and principal street, where they entered the library and made some purchases. They also honoured Lady Agnes Byng with a visit at Cowes Castle, and hav ing expressed a wish to view the Squadron-house, their Kuyal Highnesses were conducted over it by Viscount Exmouth and the Secretary. On re-embarking they were saluted with 21 guns from the Club-house batteries. The weather was so delightfully calm that as the royal yacht was returning to Norris Castle, a quadrille was got up on deck, the dancers being the Princess Victoria, Lady Ca tharine Jenkinson, Miss Conroy, and Miss Victoria Con. roy, the Baroness Lechers and Lady Conroy. The Duchess of Kent played the piano to the party. The Duke of Norfolk left yesterday in the Arundel for Portsmouth. His Grace does not go to Cherbourg, the prorogation demanding his presence in town. The yacht is to be forthwith laid up for the winter. The Admiralty yacht, Fanny, will bring over Sis James Graham to• morrow or Saturday. The accommo. datious of this elegant cutter are unique. She has been recently fitted up in a style infinitely superior to any pri. vate yacht. She has been christened the Funny after Lady Graham. The Earl and Countess of Durham will give a grand fete to the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, on Monday, the 9th September, by which period it is expected the squadron will return. At half-past one, P. X. the Commodore made the signal for outward and leeward to weigh. The scene at this moment was interesting in the extreme. The squadron, consisting of about thirty sail, are now abreast of Norris ' Castle. iThe Emerald yacht, with the Duchess of Kent and the princes* Victoria, is standing out for Portsmouth, where their Royal Highnesses expect the Duchess's sister to arrive to-day trom Germany. The Anna Eliza (the Duke of Buckingham) is also leaving the roadstead. The squadron sail with a pleasant breeze from W.S.W. On Thursday night, about twelve o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Francis, a stationer and newavender, in Great Bath street, Clerkenwell. It happened that the family had not long retired to rest bt fore smoke was discovered to issue from the lower part of the house, but for which the consequences might have bt en dreadful ; as it was, some of the inmates escaped with difficulty. In the course of an hour the house was lift a mere skeleton, and all its contents con-umed. CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday morning an inquisition was held before Mr. Carter, the Surrey Coroner, at the Artichoke pubic-house, Lambeth-marsh , on view of the body of Joseph Lovington, aged 35. The deceased was a journeyman pork butcher, in the employ of Mr. Hodson Todd, an extensive tradesman in that line at Lambeth-marsh. On Tuesday night, about 11 o'clock, the deceased had his supper, when he appeared to be in his usual spirits ; after which he retired to his bed room. About 5 o'clock the following morning be was found suspended to a beam by a cord in the slaughter house, at the back of the premises. An alarm was in -tautly given, and the unfortunate deceased was cut down, but all medical aid was of no avail, the poor fellow being quite dead. He was heard to exclaim, while having his dinner on Tuesday, that he was very unhappy, first having his nose damage.] (which was occasioned in some offray on the Monday previous), quarrelling with his wife; and what with one thing and another, be was ready to make away with himself. In reply to questions put by th e Jury, a witness said that the deceased had re peatedly attempted self-destruction ; on one occasion a razor was found concealed under his pillow. On Monday week last, he had had notice to quit his master's e mploy• tnent, in consequ e n ce o f sonic di sa gr ee m e nt. Verdict —" Temporary d erangement.

By the French mail this morning, we have the follow ing letter from Naples, dated the 10th A ugust:—" The state of affairs becomes alarming ; I cannot picture to you the fermentation that prevails in the provinces, and the gre,t anxiety in the capital. At the moment lam writ ing, it is publicly stated that several provinces are in a state of insurrection, and are marching to Naples. We are in the greatest incertitude; the Royal Family is disliked, and the King cannot put confidence in his troops, with the exception of the Swiss regiments. The people want a change, and the general cry is ' Liberty,' united with the independence of Italy." Sydney Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 29th M4rch. (From the Hobart Town Papers.) . • There is little doing in our corn market; a few sim ples have been bought in during the week—wheat, dull s a l e at from 3s. to 44. ; oats from 3s. to 4s. ; hay plenti ful, from 40e. to 50s. The women, per Surrey, were landed on Monday last, and handed over to various applicants. In the district of the Hunter the aborigines are be coming troublesome. THE FUNDS. As usual on Saturd ty, no arrivals worth noticing, and little speculation in the Funds to the present time, consequently we are exceedingly dull in the City. Consols, which left off yesterday at 88i for the Ac count, and 88i for Money, may be quoted at the same prices, but nominal. In the Foreign Market the only business doing is in Portuguese Scrip at 21i prem. The estafette from Paris does not confirm the death of the King of Spain. Letters have been received from Barbados and Deme, rara, stating that they bad received the plans of Govern• ment for the emancipation of the slaves, which were no approved of. HALF-PAST ONE. We have no arrivals, news, or reports to the present hour in the City. The Pike being the next vessel expected from Lisbon and the weather being favourable, it is thought that she will be here by Monday or Tuesday next. In the absence of other information the Portuguese Scrip is looking down, and done at 20/ to prem.

FEMALE FASHIONS. (From the World of Fashion for September.) A PROMENADE DRESS.—A dress of striped mouseline de soie, the colours lilac and green on a white ground, with a pencilled leaf introduced on each stripe. The cor sace low, long sleeves, with bouffant tops ; a mantilla, of white jaconet, assumes rather a new form ; the ends in front are long and rounded as usual, but the upper part is confined over the corsage by rows of narrow embroidered work, placed en gerbe, and a rich pattern is worked round the bosom like a tucker ; the reversed collar is tied with a bow of rose-colour sarsenet ribbon; another at the waist, and one to fasten the ends in front ; the whole being trimmed with a beautiful vandyked embroidery of white muslin. A bonnet of amber poux de soie, lined with sarsenet of the same tint, ornamented with a sprig of China•asters, fanchons, and bows of amber gros de Na ples ribbon. No cap, or brides underneath ; the bonnet simply tied under the chin, and a bow with small fanchons of ribbon appearing inside. HATS AND BoNNETs.—The small white bonnets, whether of muslin or tulle, continue to be lined with coloured sarsenet, rose colour, yellow or blue ; they are ornamented with gauze ribbons, cut en feuillage and placed in bows on the side, or the crown of the bonnet. Some have a chain of little simple bows descending from the top of the bonnet to the neck. These had none in front, only brides tied at the side. Hats of rice straw are much worn at the summer theatres (though latterly coiffures en cheveux have become prevalent there). The favourite trimmings for• these hats are variegated sarsenet ribbon, lilac and white, lilac and green, rose-colour and white, or striped with many colours, and diversified with sprigs of flowers. Nothing can be more elegant and un studied than the effect of these bats, worn with a simple robe of white muslin. English straw is always made in a very simple form, and lined with gros de Naples ; sarsenet ribbon in divided bows are the only ornament they admit of; the shape is circular. Hats of black and white mixed straw are admitted as half mourning, trimmed as we have already described. A bold attempt has just been made to introduce hats entirely covered with black lace ; they are lined with rose-colour, and ornamented with a bouquet of roses and gauze ribbons to correspond. Courage gives success ; no doubt they will become a fa vourite costume as autumn advances. For the country, white muslin bonnets, embroidered in a small worked pattern, are very pretty ; the trimming is usually com. posed of a double row of tulle, edged with a fine narrow white lace; some are ornamented with festoons of tulle. N. B. The wheel pattern is very much used for this em broidery. GENTLEMENS' FASHIONS. (PROM THE GENTLEMAN ' S MAGAZINE OF FASHION FOR SYPTEIIiBER.) A SPORTING DRESS.—Tbis shooting coat, of green costume, with gilt buttons, has the merit of being new in design and make ; no flaps across the breast, hut a long and broad one across the waist ; the pockets under occupy the full breadth of the skirts ; a leathern belt, with broad buckle, is made tight round the waist, and there are no inside pockets in the coat. Buff cantoon breeches awl gaiters of the same, is a very valuable adjunct to this de scription of coat, and forms a light and convenient Sep tember shooting costume ; but a short description of the cut and make of the breeches and gaiters is necessary. The bre ches, then, are made with a whole fall down and strong metal buttons ; the knees have but one button, which is made to catch just under the ham, and the knee garter is confined with a long string of silk Prussian bind ing, tvinding round the ham two or three times. The gaiters are formed of three separate parts, viz, the leg, the tongue, and the kneecap, and are fastened by means of buckles and straps; the advantage of this contrivance is obvious to every sportsman, who considers that getting through a quick-set hedge frequently tears open every button of his gaiters, and leaves the unfortunate leg to be gored by the thorns to the end of the break ; this gaiter is not only a remedy for the inconvenience in this respect, but by the under side passing full four inches under the top side, the leg is perfectly protected in that respect. The knee caps should be lined with some stiff substance to keep them up; leather is the beat. ANOTHER NOVEL AND EXTRAORDINARY SPORTING DRESS.—This is a novel dress calculated for the hottest chys of September ; the material is of striped nankeen, but rather thick for nankeen ; it buttons up to the top with a turn-down collar; sleeves full about the top, giving ease to the shoulders i❑ the exertion of firing, and tight about the lower part of the arm ; round the waist is a piece of the same material, five inches round, puck ered round ; underneath this frill are the pockets, and it is remarkable how effectually this puckered flap prevents the rain from entering the pockets. The lower part of this dress is a pair of pantaloons, and the lower parts are made up exactly like those of the above. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) HAY M A RKETS.—, At per Load 0f36 Trusses.) CUMBERLAND.

" THE Foua TEDDIES !"—The venerable Earl of Derby's favourite toast. The allusion is to the four Edwards in the family—namely, himself, Lord Stanley, his grandson, the Secretary, and his great grandson. The venerable Earl, who still enjoys excellent health, will enter into his 52d year on Sunday next. ,er of the Rolls is at pre ALE OF SHIPS OF WAR. Yesterday, pursuant to orders given by the Commis sioners for executing the office of Lord High klmiral, there were offered for sale, at the Admiralty-office, Somerset place, several of his Majesty's ships of war, which have been found unfit for further public service. The ships and vessels declared for sale were the follow ing : —The Renown, 71 gun ship, of the burden of 1,899 tons ; the Bittern sloop of war, of 422 tons ; the Zeoohia hr'g, of 385 tons ; the Protector brig, of 178 tons ; the Plumper gun brig, of ISI tons ; the Manley ditto, of 180 tons ; the Albatross schooner, of 67 tons ; the Supply transport, of 223 tons; and the Maria tender, of 17 tons burden ; together with a mooring lump of 91 tons burden. Toe sale took plate before two of the Commissioners for executing the office of High Admiral, and by what is termed Dutch auction—that is, the vesseli were put up by the auctioneer at a given price, and if there is no nidder, he lowers the sum until a buyer is found for the ship offered. By the conditions of sale, purchasers are bound to give an affidavit that the vessels purchased will not by any private agreement be resold, and that no other persons have an interest in the purchase than those whose names were given as the purchasers at the time of sale. It is also provided that all copper and mixed metal articles marked with the broad arrow, which shall be found in th e said vessels, must be returned into the King's stores, at the dock-yard, an allowance of 82uf1. per lb. being given for the former, and 6d. per lb. for the latter. The Renown, 74-gun ship, coppered and copper fastened, was put up by the commissioners at 9,0001., but no bidder was found at the reduced price of 5,7001 , when it was taken in. The Bittern sloop was put up at 2,0001., and the price reduced to 1,9301., at which a purchaser was found. The Zenobia was bought in at 9001. The Protector brig was put up at 500/., and was .Itl at 4351. The Plumper was offered at 5001., and taken in at 460/. The Manley brig was bought i❑ at 6501. The Albatross was offeied at 400/., but the price educed to 155/., at which it was disposed of. The Supply transport was put up at 2,3001., and bought in at 1,200/. The upset price of the Maria tender was 601., and she found a purchaser at that sum immediately. The mooring lump was offoreel at 200/., and sold at 1951. The sale was not fully attended 4 The presentation of Mr. Rice, on Thursday, :o the House of Commons of the first Report of the Com- missioners of Excise Inquiry, was omitted to be inserted in the Votes. This report recommends the immediate abolition of the system of tea permits and surv e y s . _ _ Miss Fanny Kemble has retired from the stage for ever. A gentleman of great wealth, and of the highest respectability, residing in the United States, became enamoured of this young lady, as we understand, soon after her arrival in that country, and was incessant in his attentions to her. Arrangements have been made between the parties, with the entire consent of Mr. Charles Kemble, who is on his return to this country, and the marriage will take place with ca little delay as possible. VA UXH A L L.-Last Wednesday evening 9,907 persons paid Ls. each for their admission; 3,200 _ _ quarts of porter were drank ; 1,1421. were received in silver, and 1651. in gold, on the same evening.

Wednesday after noon, about two o'clock, a fire broke out in a thatched cottage at Freabtord, occupied by Jane Usher, situated near the Church. A brisk wind blowing at the time, caused the flames to spread rapidly, and the fire soon ex tended to two other cottages, occupied by William Head and Giles Ferris, which were speedily consumed; before which the fire, notwithstanding all the ashistance that could be afforded, had communicated to Mr. Smith's (the carpenter's) yard, where it destroyed a quantity of timber end tools. Here the flames prevailed against all eff,rts, and soon extended to the waggon-house of farmer Watts, which, with the barn, was totally consumed, together with a quantity of wheat, amounting to 280 sacks, 40 tons of prime meadow and clover hay, four carts, &c., and a great quantity of vetches and peas. The entire loss is estimated at upwards at 2,0001., and has produced great distress in the village. All three of the cottages belonged to Giles Ferris, which were all the property he had. The greatest praise is due to Colonel Napier and family, to Captain Pairuddock, and all the neighbouring gentry, for their exertions, and for their liberality in opening their houses to the use of all.—Sherbourne Journal. Last night an inquest was held at the Cock, Grafton-street, Soho, on the body of Jacob Schmid, aged 34, a native of Germany. The deceased, who was a surgical instrument maker, was passionately attached to a young female, but his affection was not returned. He be came addicted to drink, and frequently acted like a mad man ; on one occasion having attempted to shoot a friend. Yesterday morning he was found in his room, at 21, Grafton-street, Soho, with his throat cut. He was sitting in a chair before a looking glass, with a dreadful inci•ion in his throat, and a razor by his side. His body was quite cold. One or two of the jury thought they could not return a verdict of temporary insanity, as there was no direct evidence to prove it. One juror said that gentlemen came to inquests as if prepared in their own minds that all who committed self-destruction were insane. Nothing was more likely to encourage the crime. The Jury, not being able to come to a decision, adjourned till Monday. \\re feel great regret in stating that A. Pri deaux, Esq. of Totnes, died on Friday last, under the most painful circumstances—by his own hand. Shortly after breakfast he retired to his office, and his daughter perceiv ing his low spirits followed him, and remained with him some time. Having left the office, however, for a few minutes only, she heard a groan, and returning perceived her father with his throat cut in so horrible a manner that death immediately ensued. Mr. Prideaux was a man of very extensive property, and of a very amiable and es teemed character ; his death will he much felt and deplored by the inhabitants of the town. This lamented gentleman, we understand, has been in a state of great despondency for many months past, occasioned, we believe, by the toss of his son, to whom he was greatly attached.— IYestern Luminary. From the decline in Exchequer bills, which commenced yesterday and has continued to day, the no tion has become prevalent that there is some connexion between it and the reported contraction of the issues of notes by the Bank of England, and that the sale of Ex chequer bills is the mode adopted for effecting that o , ject. It is perfectly vain, however, to attempt to trace the actual operation of this establishment; and all that can be affirmed is, that such sales have been made by brokers who usually act for the Bank. But though the mode may be concealed, it is not the less strongly inferred from circumstances which leave little doubt of the fict that such contraction of the issues is going on. The precaution may be a prudent one at the present mo nsent, but the charge against the Bank by our best men, of business is, that the Directors first create the evil by greater issues of paper than the country requires, and then inflict another in their attempts to restore the equi librium, which they ought never to have disturbed. It is hoped, however, and believed by many well-informed persons, that they have commenced sufficiently early on this occa-ion to render further contraction of a great tx- , tent unnecessary. The structure of the Manchester and Liver pool rail-road is a raised edge rail of rolled iron, two inches broad and one inch thick, in lengths of 25 feet each. These are firmly knitted together and placed upon cast iron chairs or pedestals, and the whole supported at inter vals of three feet by stone blocks 20 inches -ruare and 12 inches deep. Into each at the blocks twOr-t '7 are drilled and filled up with oak plugs, and to these t7.0'.0e.. destals bearing the rail are spiked down. O❑ the etedatik ttlents, and other places where the foundation Inky be ex pected to subside, additional firmness is secured by the in troduction of oak sleepers. The whole length of the road is 32 miles, and posts are placed every quarter of a mile to mark the distance.—Railway Companion.
