CANADA. Some alarm had existed in Upper Canada, arising from the instructions said to have been received from the Home Government, respecting the future regu lations of the banks in Canada. The communica tion which occasioned the alarm is— " 1. That the sum to which the personal responsibility of the respective shareholders may be liable should not be less than twice the amount of the shares held by each. " 2. That such banks should make up and publish for the information of the proprietors generally, half yearly accounts, showing the whole a mount of its debts and assets at the close of each half year; showing also the amount of its notes payable on demand which had been in circu lation in each week of such half year, together with the amount of the specie and other assets immediately avail able in each such week for the discharge of such notes, and that copies of such half yearly accounts should be laid before the Government of the colony. " 3. That such banks should be at all times liable to furnish to the governor of the colony, on his requisition, similar accounts. " 4. That the funds of the bank should not be em ployed in loans, or advances upon land or other pro perty, not readily convertible into money, nor in the purchase of any such property, but be confined to what are considered to be the legitimate operations of banking —viz., advances upon commercial paper, or Govern ment securities, and general dealings in money and bills of exchange." Some difference existed on the subject, and most persons conceived that it would have been better to have imitated more closely the regulations to be adopted by the Bank of England, by publishing in the Gazelle the affairs of the Bank, rather than simply to furnish an account of them to the Go vernment. The progress of civilization among some of the western tribes seems to be steadily increasing. Mr. Armstrong, Choctaw agent, has given notice in the Gazette that he was ready to receive proposals for the delivery at the Choctaw agency in the Ar kansas, about 'Fort Smith, of 399 looms and spin ning -wheels, for the use of the Choctaws west of the Arkansas. RAILWAYS. The London and Windsor Railway Company propose to use horses instead of steam-coaches. The travelling is to be performed in carriages drawn by a single horse; and estimating by what is done on the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the jour hey, it is calculated, will be about an hour and a half, the distance on the railroad being not quite twenty miles. The line commences at Paddington, near the Portman-market ; will cross the Grand Junction Canal and the River Brent, about three n :ile's from Brentford, by a viaduct of four arches; froo Ownce it will continue direct to North Hyde, and t;:enc!l by Harmondsworth and Colnbrook to Datchet and Eton, and terminate on the bank of the Thames above Windsor Bridge. North Hyde will become the depository for coals, merchandise, and all bulky articles. This will unite the Grand Junc tion and Paddington Canals by a railroad of ten miles, with the navigable part of the Thames above the upper dock at Windsor Bridge. A branch road is also contemplated from the depot at North Hyde to Staines. The Swansea canal reaches about ten miles, to the confines of Brecon, near Yniscedwin ; to meet this, the Brecon Forest tramroad extends about sixteen miles, beginning at Castell-du (nine miles from Brecon on the Milford m ail road), and ending at the Drim mountain. This space is filling up by a tramroad on a superior construction, calculated for locomotive engines, and will be opened in the spring, The immediate obj , et of this tramroad is the con. veyance of coal, timber, slates, and other seaborne goods, into the western parts of Brecon and eastern of Carmarthenshire ; and agricultural produce, lime, &c., in return, towards Swansea and the collieries, iron and copper works, and surrounding country. The distance from Castell-du to Brecon is only nine miles, and the Hay tramroad reaches from Brecon so Hay and Kington towards Hereford and Wor rester. The number of shares subscribed towards the t3ristol and London railroad, up to Friday, amounted to nine hundred and ninety. Saturday was witnessed the trial of a newly constructed locomotive engine, made for the con tractors on the Leeds and Selby railway. The en gine is capable of conveying goods or passengers on this line forty miles an hour, with one bushel of fuel from Selby to Leeds. LONDON AND SOUTHAMPTON RAlLWAY.—Ap plication will be made to Parliament next Session for leave to bring in a Bill for forming a Railway from London to Southampton. The line is intended to commence near Nine Elms-lane, Vauxhall, and to terminate near the Marsh, in the parish of Holy hood, Southampton, passing through Battersea, 'Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Thames Ditton, Kings ton, Chertsey, Woking, Farnborough, Odiham, Basing, Basingstoke, Woodmancote, Weston Col ley, lichen Abbotts, Winchester, Bishop's Stoke, Stoneham, &c. LEML—The branch railway now perceptibly ad vances. The declivity from the Edinburgh road, at the entrance of Portobello to Leith, amounts to six inches in five hundred yards, and, with this apparently trifling fall, it is estimated that a wag gon or rail-coach will make its way to Leith solely by the impetus produced by this partial inclination. NEW RAILWAY TO LIVERPOOL—The proprietors of the Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal Navi otion and Railway, at a general meeting, have com e to the resolution (among others) of making o pplica 101 l to Parliament, in the ensuing session, for au Act to extend their line of railway from the Manchester and Bolton line to the notthi end of Liverpool. -- A colossal statue of the Chancellor of' the Exchequer, Lord Althorp, has been modelled by Mr. Butlin, an artist of rising reputation. The model is now being cast in metal. The statue will, when completed, be erected at Northampton, in honour of his Lordship. Accounts from Algiers to the 6th inst. men tion the arrival of the persons composing the commission sent by the French Government to inquire into the state of the Colony, and to report whether it was advisable to retain it or not. It was stated that the Commissioners had declared that it would be highly dishonourable fur France to abandon its conquest, and, besides that, public opinion was so decided and so pronounced upon the sub ject that no Minister would venture to propose it to the Chambers. A mutiny had broken out at Oran. General D„roichels having ordered a non-commissioned officer of the rq ;iment of African Chasseurs to be punished, the whole corps issued en masse from the barracks, protesting against the sentence, and by force preventing the execution of the order. The rappel was immediately beate-, and all the troops of the jarrison got under arms, but this had not the effect of appeasing the mutineers, and the General, fearing the consequence of having recourse to strong mea sures while the men were so infuriated, promised that the ca se of the non-commissioned officer should be attentively se-examined, and by that means calmed the insubor- f linacian, A Coroner's inquest was held at the Wheal Sheaf Tavern, Southampton, on Tuesday evening, and continued by adjournment o n t he following before G.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - - Sia,—The late order or letter from the Horse Guards respecting half-pay officers is the subject of much conver sation everywhere. On a reference to the yearly army list there are many names of individuals that have been receiving this for upwards of forty years, and a consider able proportion of them persons that never wore a uniform or a sword. I shall just name one, Ensign Francis Gor don, on half-pay of 16th Foot since 1784. This individual is the County Clerk of a large Scotch district. Now it would be no great injustice if this County Clerk was appointed to full-pay. In former days, many clerks in public offices and of army agents held half-pay commissions. I believe the present Master General of the Ordnance was such. Sir J. Kempt, luckily for him, left the office. I believe Major Dialing, the Secretary to Lord Hill, at the Horse Guards, never joined any corps, and he has long been a Captain and a Brevet Major, on full pay of the 2d West India Regiment. Why are not the officers who have been so long on staff employ changed ? After six, eight, or ten years' enjoyment of these good things, they surely ought to give way to others, if for nothing else, that the fresh ones might have instruction. All officers, after a certain time, ought to be changed ; in particular, Commissariat officers ought not to be allowed to remain a length of time on one station abroad. A CONSTANT SUN. Portsmouth, Sept. 17. GERMAN PAPERS. BERLIN, SEPT. 12.—We have heard that the deputa tion from Neufchatel has received an answer from our Cabinet relative to the request for the separation of that Canton from the Swiss Confederation, and that it is in the negative. It is inferred from this, that the Prussian Government does not consi 'er the affairs of Neufchatel to be of sufficient importance to make them a subject of dis pute at a time when great European questions claim its whole attention. 'What has been discussed at Toplitz and Schwedt is evidently of snore importance than some affect to believe. Though well informed persons give little credit to the reports that a great sovereign has received from his confederate sovereigns an offer of the supreme authority over Germany, it yet seems certain that it has been resolved to place the German Confederation on a more firm foundation. These discussions will be con- tinned, and probably concluded, at Munchengratz. Nuremberg Correspondent, Sept. 17. MUNICH, SEPT. 15.—The Court will remain at Berchtesgaden till the end of this month, and be here in the beginning of October. A letter from Trieste of the 22d of August, says, the celebrated Norwegian pedestrian, Monsieur Ernest, arrived to-day from Greece. He tra velled the whole way from Munich to Napoli di Romania in 24 days, passing through Croatia, Dalmatia, and Tur key, being on an accurate calculation 956 leagues (that is to say, half German miles, a German mile being reckoned two hours' travelling, or two leagues—the distance is, therefore, 2,390 English miles). On the way he was arrested several days in Scutari, Duraggo, and Yamina, being taken for a spy. In the mountains of Monte negro he fell in with robbers, who having fired at him several times, but missed him, plundered him of all his effects, even his compass, but be happily saved the Government despatches and private letters en trusted to him. On his journey Ernst swam through sixty-nine rivers, and travelled many hundred leagues through vast mountains where there were no paths. The last time he was arrested was four leagues from the Greek frontiers, near Arts, whence he was conducted hick thirty leagues to Janina, with an escort, but on showing the papers of his Majesty the King, be was released, and a Turkish passport given him. Ernst was to per`orm twenty-eight days quarantine at Trieste, and the❑ come without delay to Munich, when we shall learn particulars from his own mouth. AUGSBURG, SEPT. 19.—The .Allgemeine Zeitung of this date contains the following article : Ancona, Sept. 11.—Last night General Cubieros left this town, and took the road to Padua. Early this morn ing a steam boat, belonging to the English Admiralty, arrived here, which came direct from Constantinople, and had on board the English CharOs d'Affaires in that city, and General Wilford, commander of the English troops in the lonia❑ Islands. Both of them intend to proceed to London as soon as possible. since the arrival of this steam boat a report, which is, however, still unconfirmed, has been spread of a great fire and revolution at Constan. tinop'e. The Sultan, it is said, has fled to Pera, to place himself under the protection of the Franks, and has applied for Russian aid. At Ascoli, on the frontiers of the kingdom of Naples, and here, arrests for political causes continue. Here they are executed with the co-operation of the French troops. VIENNA, SEPT. 13.—Intelligence has been received of the arrival of the Emperor of Russia at Munchengratz on the 10th inst. The lady of the Russian Ambassador, on receiving the news, set out this morning for that place, whence it is concluded that the Monarchs will stay there longer than was expected. A report is current that the King of Bavaria will proceed to Alunchengratz, and that apartments are prepared for his reception. Some doubts are entertained as to the arrival of the Duchess of Berry in Germany. Some persons positively assert she has not left Italy. The last accounts from Italy are satisfactory ; the instigations of the propaganda, always missing their aim, only show their weakness, and tend to bring the minds of men to a sense of their duty. We learn from Scutari that an armistice has been con cluded between the garrison of the citadel and the inhabitants of the town and country, until the arrival of the answer of the Sultan to the deputation from Scutari. The fear of war has been the chief cause of the fall of the funds i❑ the foreign exchanges. The mercantile world here will not believe in war, but look upon the interviews of the Monarchs rather as guarantees for the preservation of peace. The affairs of Portugal, which agitate the Paris Exchange, are not of such importance to Europe as to create immediate alarm ; those of Switzerland appear to be of more conse quence; nevertheless the Sovereigns and enlightened classes of Europe are too much interested in maintaining peace and the present state of things, to admit a belief that the small number of malcontents will have power to bring about a general war contrary to the general will of the Governments. The timid, theref,re, are exposed to loss at every fall of the funds. VIENNA, Sere. 14.—Five per Cent.

[FIRST TIME ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5.] The bold, original, and uncompromising character of the AGE, for a period of six years past, and since it has been conducted by its present Editors, has been most liberally acknowledged by its CONSTANT, NUMEROUS, AND INCREASING SUPPORTERS.. If it were consistent with honour and prudence to print the names of eminent contributors, the AGE might fairly challenge the proudest of its contemporaries with equal justice the Editors may refer to their high, efficient, and exclusive sources of information, which, in very many instances, have preceded the rest of the public journals by a priority which has appeared to be almost prophetic. To meet the wishes of numerous subscribers who reside in the country, or who, at this time of the year, quit the metropolis for a temporary period, the Proprietor has determined to print A SATURDAY EDITION, IN TIME FOR POST. In announcing this arrangement, he has also to add that additional talent has been engaged, to increase, if pos sible, its powerfully political, original, and amusing character. The AGE may, in future, be received, post-free, every Sunday Morning, in every town in England, within 120 miles of the metropolis. In Ireland, Scot land, and the North of England, it wi' l, by this ar rangement, arrive two days earlier. The AGE may he obtained through any Bookseller or Newsvender in Great Britain—Price Sevenpence.

MAIDSTONE.—The hope picking goes on rapidly, and the weather has been for the last week highly favourable. The same complaint exists of a n. nett lighter crop than was expected. Great care is also requisite in picking, i❑ order to preserve good samples. Still no calculation can be safely made as to the falling off of the duty, for the sample is injured more than the crop; and as bad hops pay as much duty as good onts, the quantity must still serve as the only criterion. MA ADEN A ND NEIGHBOU RllOOO. —During the last week picking has been in full operation. In small planta tions it is drawing to a close, and the crops generally fall short of expectation. Some samples of first pickings have met a ready sale at 61. 10s. to 71. 7s. per cwt. ; these have been of good colour. The strictest attention is paid in urging the pickers to manage their hop —to pick them clean and well, keeping the flyers and those bruised by the wind separate. When this is done, the dryer probably may secure good samples, which will be valuable. The prevailing opinion is the duty will not exceed much that of last year. The following is a statement of the cotton manufacture in the United States, in 1931, as collected by the Committee of the New York Convention. In the twelve states of the Union there were 795 cotton mills, with a capital of 40,715,984 dollars, manufacturing annually 77,851,3161 b. of cotton, or 214,882 bales of 3611 b. each.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1833, Two reports of a very opposite nature have been current since the arrival of the Echo steamer from Lisbon and Oporto. One is that the Regent Don PEDRO has applied for assist ance from the English Government, in order to enable him to subdue the forces of his brother ; the other is that Don MIGUEL has made pro posals of arrangement to the Constitutionalists, which have been indignantly rejected. We are able, from authority, to contradict both of these statements, although we are not permitted, at present, to state the precise nature of the de spatches which Lord PALMERSTON has received from Lord WILLIANI RUSSELL. Don PEDRO feels himself sufficiently strong to dispense with the aid of our Government coupled with the con dition attached to it ; and on the other hand Don MIGUEL has declared that he will never make proposals to Don PEDRO. The arrange ments which appear to be at hand, will be the result of a different mode of proceeding. We have ascertained that up to the present hour no official information has reached either of the Embassies from Paris relative to the reported revolt at Constantinople. Had this affair oc curred, as stated:in the accounts from Ancona, we think official intelligence of it must have reached the French Government, and have been forwarded to this country. The event, how ever, must occur soon, if it has not already taken place, but it will probably be at a moment when the Emperor of RUSSIA shall be well prepared with the means of crushing the revolt immediately after it shall have proceeded suffi ciently ciently far for his purposes. The Russian Cabinet are much more profound in their poli tics than the Moderates and Doctrinnaires of the British and French Cabinets, and they know well how to choose the time for operation. No- thing but a war, or a much more resolute tone of menace than has hitherto been used by France and England, will prevent the Autocrat of the ItUSSIAS from establishing his winter-quarters at Constantinople. The French Papers of Monday contain no further news respecting the alleged revolution at Constantinople ; and the general opinion now is that the report was got up by interested parties for a particular purpose. It appears that the last despatches received from Constantinople by the French Government are dated one day after the pretended departure of the Meteor steam-boat, which do not make any mention of the revolution, but merely refer to a fire which con sumed 3,000 houses some time previously. Now, we have had a similar account (certainly the most probable) from the German papers, which limited the number of houses to three hundred, and yet upon this flimsy foundation have the conflagration of 16,000 and the revo lution been got up. _ . The French KING and Royal Family reached Fontainbleau on Saturday evening. These papers contain no further news of any interest:— FRENCH FUNDS.—PARts, SEPT. 23. Five per Cents., 102 f. 30c. 15c.

Three months, paper, 25f. 35e. ; money, 25f. 35c. —Cours Authentique. The German Papers received to-day state, that the Emperor of RUSSIA arrived at Munchengratz on the 10th. It i 3 surmised that at the Conference of the Sovereigns, to which the King of BAVARIA, it is said, will repair, the Emperor of AUSTRIA will resume his old title of Emperor of GERMANY, and that the German Confederation will be placed on a more secure footing with respect to offensive or defensive operations. One thing is very clear, that the Emperor NICHOLAS will endeavour, at any sacrifice, to secure the acquiescence of Austria and Prussia to his plans; but, like all other clever politicians, we hope that the wily Autocrat will overreach himself. While France and England keep on friendly terms, we have no fear for the machinations of the " great despots." We trust that, among weightier matters, it will not escape Prince TALLEYRAND, on his arrival at Paris, to inquire rigorously how it happened. that the seal of the French Foreign Office was affixed to the packages of smuggled lace, lately seized at Dover. This is a matter, moreover, which well deserves the attention of those who are negotiating the French treaty, for if such abuses are to continue, it will be scarcely possible that the commerce between the two countries can be carried on upon the basis of mutual good faith and honour—be the terms of the treaty what they may. We must again repeat that the frauds prac tised by persons s ng to be attached to Er t - l'assies, and charged with despatches, are so glaring, that it is incumbent upon Government to take some steps to put an end to them. The fair trader complains loudly, and with justice, that valuable packages of goods, weighing often a hundredweight and more, are allowed to pass our Custom-houses without examina tion, because they are addressed to the French ambassador, or the Brazilian Minister, or the Portuguese Charge d'Affaires. We do not use these names unadvisedly. The French Douaniers at Valenciennes lately cut open a suspected bag of a Russian courier, without ceremony, and found it to contain contraband Cachmere shawls. We should be curious to see the contraband contents of the bags of all the couriers, or pretended couriers, that have landed in this country during the last six months. The trade complains of the want of vigilance of the revenue officers ; but, wherever the blame really rests, the public expects of the Government that it shall cease to countenance this wholesale smuggling, and shall use its utmost exertions to correct and limit all such diplomatic privileges as are found to be the covers and cloaks of the most abominable frauds. The Meeting of the Parishioners of St. Bo tolph, Bishopsgate, which took place yesterday, is another sign of the times which—added to those which have been daily occurring in all parts of the country for the last eight months and u pwards—should induce the clergy to look about them, and endeavour to ascertain by what means they can avert the thunder-cloud that now hangs over the whole establishment. It is not enough that they write pamphlets, and up lift their eyes in pious deprecation of the im pending evil ; still less that they shrug their shoulders, and console themselves with the reflec tion," things will last my time ;"—the time is past for all such tame, lazy, half-and-half expedients ; they must be up and stirring ; show themselves equal to the emergency, and ready to listen to and adopt (no matter from what quarter it comes) whatever may wear the appearance of a sound, constitutional remedy. The danger, we can assure them, that threatens the Church, is no distant one. Already the establishment is within the rapids, and may even now, unless it be " deafer than the deaf adder," hear the roar of the cataract, down which it will assuredly be hurried, should it not, by timely skill, and tact succeed in shifting its course. The tithe system must be put an end to, and some more equitable means of remuneration adopted in its stead. This is the very first remedy to which the clergy must turn their attention. The grievance is so onerous, and is of such long standing, that the country can bear it no longer. Next, the plurality system must be abolished, and those who work all day in the clerical vineyards, be paid for their labours out of the abundance of those who stand by and do nothing. The labourer is worthy of his hire," says the Scripture ; but we do not find that the same high authority sanctions an exorbitant rate of payment t o sloth and negligence. Another of the besetting sins of the Church,Establishment is its. countenance of non-residence. This abuse has been carried to so extravagant a height, that many a Churchman has been appointed to a golden prebend, vicarage, or rectory, which he has never visited, and of which he scarcely knows the geographical position. Thus the late Earl of BRIDGEWATER, and many others that we could mention, held for a long term of years; one of our most lucrative cathedral appointments, he himself being constantly resident on the continent, and spending the produce of his golden stall in Italy or Paris. Such an abuse as this reflects discredit on the whole Church Establish ment, and cannot with safety be permitted to exist an hour longer. Then, as respects the Dissenters. On no principle of equity that we know of, should the members of one Establish ment be compelled to pay for the support of another, from which, from conscientious motives, they have been compelled to secede. Let each flock support its own chosen shepherd. We throw out these hints in no spirit of disrespect to the Church. We venerate (on this side idolatry) the establishment ; but, while we appreciate its deserts, we are by no means blind to its defects. It is just now in a position of considerable diffi culty and embarrassment ; plunged chin-deep 'in (what old BUNYAN calls) the Slough of Despond ; but, nevertheless, it has every reason able chance of escape, if it will only temper energy with discretion ; for no embarrassments are so perplexing, no difficulties so great, but that they can in time be surmounted, where the head and heart of the sufferer both actively combine to attempt his deliverance.

The only arrival this morning of consequence is a Jamaica mail, by the Goldfinch, which sailed from Jamaica on the 6th of August, and from Carthagena the 29th of July; by which conveyance Jamaica Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee house. (From the Jamaica Papers.) All the slaves of this colony who have the means of purchasing their freedom, are now very anxious to do so. One and all, with a few worthless exceptions, are very much dissatisfied with the Ministerial plan, as they wish to have their freedom in their own way. (From the Courant of Aug. 5.) The non-arrival of the packet still leaves us in a state of uncertainty with regard to the plans of his Majesty's Ministers respecting the fate of the West India Colonies. We have, however, been assured on authority, that the Bill granting his Majesty twenty millions towards the abolition of slavery has received his Majesty's sanction. A letter from Columbia of the 29th of September, received by the packet, from Carthagena, states that there was no ❑ews there. Colonel Woodbine, wife, and son, were all murdered in their plantation. The refusal of Lord Mu'grave to appoint magistrates in Kingston, except in his own way, had made some little noise in that co►nmuniry. Every thing was tranquil in the interior of the Island of Jamaica. The slaves. were perfectly aware of the steps taken for their amelioration, but they do not seem to relish it. They are quite willing to be free, but they are not at all disposed to understand why Massa should not supply them with food and clothing as before. Extract of a letter from Thur, Frontiers of Poland : "We cannot read without horror the information we receive from all parts of Poland ; the vengeance of Russia still exists. Two persons were executed at Sehadch, and we know the names of 25 persons who have also perished ; amongst them was an officer who fought in the late revolution, and was shot before the house of his mother." Accounts from Warsaw and Berlin state that Russia, Prussia, and Austria, are going to make a new partition of Poland, and that the Vistula will . be the limit between Prussia and Russia. c\ ' '~ PRICES OF STOCKS THII Rank Stcett 3 per Cent.
