We understand that a large proportion of the country bankers, in some districts five out of six, are re mitting money to their agents in town to be employed at 2or 2i per cent. interest. This may arise in part from distrust of the local connections ; but it may also be in ferred from it that there is far less demand for money in the country than is generally supposed, or the difference between 2i and 5 per cent. would hardly be sacrificed by the bankers.— Times. On Thursday night, a terrible calamity hap pened in Fewcastle. Between ten and eleven o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out in the extensive coach ma nufactory of Mr. J. L. ANGAS, in Angas's•court, Bigg Marker, and utterly destroyed the same, with the greater part of the contents, even before the fire-engines could arrive. Some of the carriages were got out of the yard. The tire soon extended to the houses in the court on the side of St. John's-lane, and three of them, to the bare walls were destroyed, and several workshops in the Fighting Cocks Yard on the opposite side of the court. The immense floor cloth manufactory of Mr. Man- CASTLE, which towers above the houses ou the north side of St. John's-lane, also soon caught fire in the roof; but by the exertions of the firemen, it was extinguished, without extending downwards. The spirit cellars occu pied by Mr. &tanner. SToxoe, situated on the south side of St. John's-lane, and adjoining the coach manufactory, are nearly gutted, although the outer walls remain ; a part of the stock has been saved. On the south side of Angas's•court every thing is destroyed; and a number of little tradesmen must be almost ruined by the destruction of their tools and stock in the various workshops. The fire was nearly got under at the time this paper was put to press (three o'clock on Friday morning) at any rate it could not extend. The flames were first seen to issue from above Mr. ANGAS'S counting-house.--Newcastle Courant. ACCIDENTS AT BRIGHTON.-BRIGHTON, JA N. 29.—A melancholy event took place here yesterday. 4 1, three young ladies, sisters (the Misses CLIFF), were returning from a ride in the neighbourhood of Kemptown, accompanied by Mr. Ross, the riding-master, one of them was taken suddenly ill, and fell from her horse; she was instantly conveyed to the county hospital (which was quite convenient to the spot), as the nearest place where medical aid could be procured, where the young lady very shortly after expired. It is supposed she was attacked by a fit of apoplexy; the horse was in a gentle canter at the moment she fell, previous to which she was observed to turn quite pale. The family and friends of the lady are thrown into the deepest affliction by this melancholy event. One of the ladies BEAUCLERY, sister to the Duke of ST. ALBA keg, had a miraculous escape yesterday evening. As she was riding on horseback, accompanied by Mr. MANN, the riding-master, the horse took fright at some object, and ran off at full speed with his fair rider, to the breathless anxiety of the - persons by which the streets were crowded at the tune. The animal continued his career at a furious pace through several narrow streets, and along the cliff, until he reached the stable door, Lady BEAUCLERE, not. withstanding the screaming of the ladies as the horse passed along, kept her seat with the mosradmirable pre sence of mind, and appeared to suffer less by fright than most of those who witnessed her danger. Yesterday afternoon a lady, named Steil, was thrown from her horse and killed on the spot. The accident happened on the Marine Parade, near Marine-square; it seems that the horse was frightened at a carriage ; he did not, however, set off at a very rapid pace, but it is supposed that the lady became so alarmed that she fell into a fit, and dropped from her seat, receiving the wound which caused her death.— She was conveyed to No. 14, Lower Rock-gardens, and an inquest will be held on the body. The population of Kent is 429,016 persons. It contains 548 parishes, under the ecclesiastical jurisdic tion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of ROCHESTER; the former of whom has 350 Episcopal churches and chapels under his control. The annual rental of dividends of endowed public charities in the county is 203,4391. 18s. 9d.

EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTA NC E......-- YOUGILAL, JAN. 25.—An extraordinary circumstance has occurred here within the last week, which has been, and still is, the subject of conversation and much excitement among all classes of the inhabitants. On the night of Sunday, the 17th inst., Mr. —'s wife died, after seve ral months' illness, of decline, at his house, situate in a garden in the suburbs of the town, and during the two or three days thereafter, acquaintances and neighbours were inquiring of each other when the funeral was to take place, without being able to get any information, neither was any one admitted into the house. On 'l uesday even ing a coffin was taken into the place, and from that thus to the present it has not been seen to be carried out. On Wednesday the lock was broken off the gate of a small walled-in piece of ground belonging to the Society of Friends, which was their burial ground formerly, bnt which has not been used for more than 40 years, and which is on a rather unfrequented road, About half a mile from the town, and a grave was dug there about three feet deep. When this became known, it was supposed by many that Airs. .'s remains were to be intered there, and that it was intended to be a very private funeral ; this grave remained open all the evening of Wednesday, and on Thursday morning it was found to be filled up to the level of the surface of the ground. A market gardener who lives very near this burial ground, and who had seen the grave open, when he saw the way in which it had been filled d.uring the night, became suspicious, and having procured a stick, be ascertained by boring the grave that nothing had ,been buried in it, When the " Friends" came to know what had been going on in their ground, without their permission, they resolved to open the grave, and on Friday they had it dug out, and showed to the public that no use• whateyer had been made of it. On Saturday the.Ailyor awl one of the Clergymen had an in tervitw "wills t, '"";,;but nothing has transpired, .. fr and thraetiiisi ''' ...::-....,-'s remains continues to be .0619irro - " — lie, s .. . .l# , b . 6un , el nped in mystery.

PRIVY COUNCIL. The Duke of WELLINGTON, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord ABERDEEN, Earl BA THURST, Mr. Secretary PEEL, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, and Mr. HERRIES, left town this morning about eleven o'clock, for the purpose of attending a Privy Council at Wind sor Castle this day. The Speech to be delivered on the opening of Parliament having been definitively arranged yesterday, and will be sub mitted to his MAJESTY for his approval. His MAJESTY will also prick for Sheriff's for the ensuing year. Mr. HERRIES will receive his appointment as President of ale Board of Trade ; and it is likewise expected that the RECORDER of London will be introduced to the Council, and maks his report of the prisoners capitally convicted at last Old Bailey (January) Sessions. Lord ELLENBOROUOIT, on account of the death of his son, was not summoned to attend the Council. The following are extracts from the German Papers : MERLIN, JAN. 17. The new Greek State engages the attention of the pub lic mind, and when the affairs of that country are put into a regular train, there is no doubt that we shall find many occasions of correspondence and intercourse. It is already in contemplation to found in our University a number of stipends for the education of young Greeks who may in future study here. That this State in its outset, as an object of the jealousy and rivalry of some Cabinets, will have a difficult part to act, is not so positively to be fore seen. Matters will be accommodated as they have hitherto been, if not so much to individual views as to general re lations. The developement of Greece must exceed all cal culation, if due regard is had to the ingenious, clever, active people ; to local circumstances ; the neighbouring States ; the unavoidable influence on them in Europe, Asia, and Africa; and the new channels for trade that will be opened. By the death of Count Meuron, the embassy to Co penhagen is vacant. With respect to the individual likely to • succeed him opinions are divided between different persons, whose pretensions are pretty equally balanced. The number of candidates for diplomatic situations has greatly increased of late, without any more extensive probability of obtaining them, as several situations of this description have been suppressed, and of the remainder several are united in one person. The death of Captain Paniger and Major Von Wilder meth, at Adrianople, is extremely regretted here, they are both highly esteemed and able officers. Presents to be delivered by the Ambassador Halil Pacl,a, to the Court of St. Petersburgh : Several bales of Cachemere shawls, each worth from 3,000 to 10,000 piastres ; gold snuff-boxes, set with diamonds ; two beautiful pearls of extraordinary site, set as ear-rings ; penal necklaces with clasps of diamonds, rubies, and talismans ; pearl bracelets with clasps of diamonds, and other jewels ; Turkish censers, enamelled and adorned with diamonds ; rings with solitaires of all kinds, especially very rare turquoises ; richly enamelled tobacco-pipes of rare wood, with mouth-pieces of amber, set with diamonds ; cups of Chinese porcelain ; a large quantity of aloes-wood ; many tobacco-pouches from Cachemere, embroidered with gold, silver, and pearls ; a large quantity of the best Tumheki tobacco of Shiraz; morocco portfolios, embroidered with gold ; English watches, with chains, and cot in beautiful brilliants ; a great quantity of stuffs front Aleppo and Broussa, embroidered with gold and silver; Indian muslins richly embroidered ; several Angora shawls of all colours ; handkerchiefs for the head, richly embroidered with gold and pearls; kalemkiares from Constantinople, and pocket-handkerchiefs of printed muslin of extraordi nary beauty; several sabres of Damascus of the finest quality; many richly ornamented guns and pistols of Con stantinople manufacture ; carpets from Maesh-Ushack, and splendid sofa cushions ; 200 very rare talismans, mostly as necklaces and bracelets ; a great quantity of ground Mocha coffee, in hermetically closed vessels ; Turkish ladies' boots adorned with pearls and jewels ; con fectionary and sherbet, from India, Egypt, and the Se raglio; an immense quantity of amber anti Oriental in- Cenae, and otto of roses of the finest quality, in beautiful chrystal bottles. Halli Pacha will distribute the above presents ac cording to his discretion, after having first delivered the following presents to the Emperor and Empress—a sabre of extraordinary beauty, and richly ornamented ; saddle, with saddle-cloth and bridle, both adorned with jewels ; a little box ornamented with solitaires of extraordinary size—a comb with large solitaires—a co:n plete set of furniture for the toilet, adorned with costly pearls, Cachemere shawls of the greatest value, em broidered in- the finest pearls: These are the chief of these rich presents; besides which there are a great number of valuable articles for the Court, the Ministers, and the Household of the Empress. VIENNA, JAN. 21.—Metalliques, 1039 16 ; Bank Eltares, 1277 ; Four per Cents., 95i. We have received the following this morning from our Paris Correspondent : PARIS, SATURDAY, JAN.3O. " The Moniteur of yesterday contains the no mination of seven new Peers of France, with the Legislative rank of Baron. They are named in the ordonnance in the following order, viz.— the Duke de Ceroste, the Marquis de Tourzcl, the Marquis de Puivert, the Count de la Bour donnaye, the Baron de Vitrolles, the Count Beugnot, and Lieutenant-General Count Vallee. In conformity with the ordonnance of the 25th of August, 1817, to which I had occasion to allude at an early period of my correspondence, with reference to the refusal of M. Ternaux, the eminent manufacturer, and other individuals, who had been honoured under a former Ministry with similar marks of the Royal favour, to pay the enormous fees exacted at the Herald Office ; it is now declared that the new Peers shall not be permitted to take their seats in the Upper House, and that their descendants shall not enjoy the succession to the rights and privi leges of the peerage, until the inscription of their letters patent in the registers which are kept for that purpose. " The Liberals assert that by this nomination the Prince de Polignac has been paying the debts of M. de Villele ; and this fact is urged as a new evidence of the powerful influence which the Ex-Minister continues to maintain in the present Cabinet. It is well known that there have been a great many defections from the treasury benches of the Chamber of Peers since the celebrated operation of seventy-six creations at a single batch ; and it was last night currently given in the drawing-rooms of the Faubourg St. Honore as the observation of one of the most distin guished individuals of this party of 76, that if the Minister thinks to gain seven votes by this new proceeding, he will find, in fact, that he wiil lose fourteen. It is not admitted by the oppo sition, that with the exception ofGeneral Vallee, who is generally allowed to have introduced some valuable improvements into the system of the French artillery, the nomination of any one of the seven to this new dignity has been earned by any adequate public service. One, they say, meaning M. Beugnot, has now been created because he was formerly promised a Peerage by M. de Villele, and because he has been so long expecting it ; another, M. de Vitrolles, on account of his disappointment in not having been en trusted with the portfolio of the Home De partment on the last vacancy ; and a third, M. de la l3ourdonnaye, not so much because he had been for some weeks a member of the pre sent Cabinet, as because his future presence in the Chamber of Deputies might have been: trouble some and embarrassing to his former colleagues. As to the other three, I have heard no satisfac tory reason assigned for their present advance ment; the Marquis de Puivert, is the Governor of the Castle of Vincennes, in the neighbour hood of Paris ; the Marquis de Tourzel is, I understand, a young man not yet old enough to take his seat, nor to exercise a deliberative voice in the Chamber ; and the only claim I have heard of which the Duke de Cereste Brancas could be supposed to have on the present Mini try is, that he was formerly a candidate in the in terest of the Villele administration for the department of the Aisne. If this proceeding could be regarded as a sequel to the revolting and unconstitutional measure of M. de Villele, for the mere purpose of propping up the totter. ing fabric of a falling Ministry, I should say at once with the distinguished individual to whom I have already alluded, and whose position en ables him in some degree to verify his own pre diction, that it should not and could not be at tended with success, because it was an undue exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, and because the feeling that it was so would excite a spirit of indignant opposition on the part of the senior members of the Peerage, who cannot fail to feel that a system like this, of wholesale creation, has a direct tendency to deteriorate the value of their own honours and dignities. " The Chamber of Peers, however, is not the arena where the great battle is to be fought, for Royal prerogative on the one hand and chartered liberty on the other. The struggle will un doubtedly be decided in the Lower House, and the issue is plainly far from being problematic. In the ranks of the opponents of the present order of things, although well known to entertain con tradictory and incompatible opinions on various points, which have at present only a secondary degree of interest, there cannot be discovered the slightest symptom of discord or disunion. The materials of which the Royalist party is com posed are not so easily amalgamated. At the late election at Lisieux they recklessly threw away any chance they might have had of a successful competition with their antagonists, by the needless division of their strength, and at the approaching contest at Puy a similar result may be anticipated, since the friends of Berryer fi/s, the Ministerial candidate, are already ac cused by the Gazette- and the other organs o f that party, of lukewarmness in the cause, and of a want of that perfect unanimity so indispensa ble to success; while it is said that several of the electors on the other side of the question had risen from their sick beds, and i❑ spite of serious indisposition, and of the extreme in clemency of the weather, had proceeded to the election of the Secretary and of the provisional bureau, which is in general regarded as a preliminary trial of parties. On this occa sion the old Secretary and the old Bureau were maintained. This the royalists affect to regard as a triumph, but the other party maintain . that they never had any serious idea of disputing the preliminary point, as they profess themselves to be perfectly 'satisfied with the provisional Bureau as it formerly stood. " The Itloniteur of yesterday, contained an ordonnance for the erection of a permanent consulting Committee in the War Department, the members of which are to have the title of Intendants-in-Chief, and are to receive salaries, including an allowance for forage and apartments at the rate of 5501. sterling per an num. The individuals appointed to these new offices are the Baron de Joinville, the Baron Berger de Castellan, the Baron Denniee, the Baron Regnault, and the Baron Volland. The military superintendence of the royal guard, of the Hotel des Invalides, and of the first military division, with the duties of the superior Council of War, are exclusively reserved for the new Intendants in Chief. By separate ordonnances of the same date, two other permanent consult ing Committees are appointed, the one for the ( Infantry, the other for the Cavalry, each con sisting of five Lieutenant-Generals, and two officers of the inferior rank of Marechal-de camp. It appears to be finally adjusted that the troops of the Paella of Egypt are to be employed on the part of France in the attack to be made on the Dey of Algiers. General Gnilleminot is said to be the author of the plan, and M. Dro vetti, the French Consul at Alexandria, is known to be at present in Paris, and in daily commu nication with Prince Polignac on the subject. The naval expedition in support of the Egyptian troops is to be placed under the command of Admiral de Rigny. I open my letter to mention, that I have just learned by private communication from St. Petersburg!), that the constant interchange of couriers between that capital and the principal Courts of Europe, and the unusual activity which is otherwise manifested by the Russian Cabinet, particularly the very hasty despatch of couriers for Sebastopol and Bourgas, immediately after the arrival of dispatches from Admiral Heyden, had produced a belief among those who have access to the best sources of information, that several questions of a most important nature are at this moment in agitation. Those who pre tend at St. Petersburgh to penetrate the arcana of diplomacy, do not hesitate to say, that there is more than one point on which the Russian Cabinet is at variance with those of France and England. They speak not merely of the settlement of the future Govern ment of Greece, but another question, said to be raised by the English Government, and to be supported by that of France, with all its influence, but to which Russia, it is said, is not inclined to accede ; in allusion to an indemnity to the Porte, for the losses sustained by the Turkish Government at the battle of Navarin. The de plorable condition of the Russian army lately engaged against the Turks, arising from the con tinued ravage of contagious disorders, and the unexampled misery which pervades the southern provinces of the empire, are regarded as circum stances highly favourable to the policy which takes the preservation and the well-being of Turkey so much to heart." A recent Quebec Paper suggests to the Bri tish Government to establish a hereditary nobi lity in Lower Canada, with entails, &c. The number of the Barons to be one hundred and sixty, who are to meet in convention, and select from amongst themselves thirty to sit for life in the Legislative Council of the Province. The political situation of the British Jews is not only anomalous in itself, but, we believe, really unknown to the majority of the commu nity. Their exclusion from Parliament and from civil offices, is a matter which appears hitherto to have escaped observation, or, at all events, consideration; and the Pamphlet of Mr. FRANCIS HENRY GOLDSNIID, " On the Civil Disabilities of the British Jews," deserves, therefore, some attention. It is written with good sense and moderation, and puts in a forcible point of view the injustice which the Children of Israel still suffer in this country. By a sort of fiction, which there is seldom much difficulty in devising when persecution is intended, the Jews have been, from time imme morial, considered as foreigners amongst us, though, since their original introduction into England, they have been, in fact, as much natives as the Saxons, or any other people who have fixed themselves in the land of the ancient Celts. Yet so strong has the popular prejudice been on this subject, that a notion has constantly pre vailed that the Jews, as aliens, arc incapable of holding lands, and the lawyers have in vain, from time to time, given their opinions that such notion Zlid not rest upon any legal foundation . At present, however, when it is known that the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, Mr. BUTLER, Mr. PRESTON, and Mr. HUNIPIIREYS, have said decidedly that a Jew can make as good a title to his land as a Christian, we presume this can not remain a matter of doubt. Their actual grievances arise from their religion, and not from their country. While the 'rest and Corporation Acts were in force, the Jews were, by them, nominally ex cluded from their civil rights, but might, through the operation of the Act of Indemnity, safely hold seats in Parliament and offices. There ap pears to have been no intention of withholding from the Jews the relief granted to the Dissen ters, and the original scope of the Bill would have included them, had not the Bishop of LLANDAFF carried an Amendment to the de claration substituted for the Sacramental Test, inserting the words " on the faith of a Christian." Lord BEXLEY subsequently pro posed to omit these words when the declaration was to be taken by Jews, but his suggestion was negatived ; and the result is, that the repeal of the 'rest and Corporation Acts has placed the Jews in a worse situation than they were before, for the Annual Indemnity Act is no longer passed, and they cannot conscientiously sub scribe the declaration, which is the necessary preliminary to Parliament and to civil offices. This was assuredly not the intention of Govern. ment ; and it will be recollected, that in Mr. PEEL'S celebrated speech last year, in introducing the Catholic Relief Bill, he stated expressly, " that, with the exception of the offices of Lord " Chancellor, &c., it was proposed to leave all offices free to all denominations of leis MA " JESTY'S subjects." The number of Jews in this country is so very trifling, that it is perfectly absurd to specu late upon the Established Church, or any of the Christian sects, being prejudiced by their relief. The number of Jews in the whole United King dom appears, from returns quoted by Mr. GOLDSMID, to be only 27,000, about 18,000 of whom reside in and near London, and 9,000 in other parts of the country. Surely no fears of proselytism can be entertained from a mere handful like .this. A Jew is entitled to justice as well as a Christian ; and it is a fact not very honourable to the liberality of the British Legis lature, that the Jews of France, Holland, and the United States, have for many years partici pated in those civil rights which are denied them here ; and that without any Jewish party or in terest having made its appearance in the Cham ber of Deputies, the States-General, or Congress. To the disgrace of the Corporation of Lon don, (who, until 1828, would not admit even baptized Jews,) the Freedom of the City is still withheld from persons professing the Jewish faith, some of whom are among the most opulent and respectable of its inhabitants. Such exclu sions are the very reason why the character of the Jews has not risen above the mercenary practices for which they are unfortunately still a bye-word. The influence of the opinion of society upon them is not sufficiently strong to restrain them from mean actions, nor will be so, until they are placed in all respects on a level with the rest of the community. Mr. J. 1). MEYER, (the author of the celebrated work on the Judicial Institutions of Europe,) himself a Jew, but not Nithstanding a Dutch Judge, has proved, by statistical tables, that the improve ment in the moral conduct of the Jews of Am sterdam has gradually kept pace with the pro gress of their emancipation. This will assuredly be the case everywhere else, and it ought to be a strong additional inducement to Parliament to grant to our indigenous Israelites the full enjoy ment of those civil rights of which they alone, of all the KING'S subjects, are most unworthily, and without any just cause, deprived.

We are without any foreign arrivals this morning, owing to the severity of the weather ; consequently there is no information to communicate at present. The Consol Market, which left off yesterday at 92i 93 for the Account, opened at the same price, with no animation 'in the Market to this hour. The Foreign Market is in the same dull state as that of the British ; most of the prices are nominal, as yesterday. A vessel has arrived at Savannah from Havre, having on board the four °sages. Two of them died on board, of the small-pox, which Caused the Mayor of Savannah to put the vessel under quarantine. Accounts have been received from the island of Bourbon by the Guillaume Telt, arrived at St. Mario; left 15th Oct. The accounts state that 10 English vessels had ar rived there laden with rice. Freights were scarce. Up wards of 60 ships were waiting for cargoes at the different ports. LivEaroon MARKET, JAN. 31.—The imports of Cot ton, this week, are 15,156 bags, and the sales 8,690 bags, at a decline on new and ordinary 13oweds of id. per lb., and id. per lb. on all other descriptions. In Sugar, 180 hhds. of British Plantation have been sold this week, at late prices, with 360 bags of East India, at 735. In the Consol Market the frosty weather has absolutely chilled all the brokers and jobbers in their operations, as there is not the least business going forward. Consols have been during the whole of the morning at 92j- to 93 for the Account, and for money 92k. All our City politicians are now anxiously waiting for his Majesty's Speech, which the Bears and Bulls will ex pound according to their views and interest. The Foreign Market is also in a complete state of stag nation. Greek is the only Stock in which anything is doing, and is a shade lower than yesterday. We have no reports or political information to the pre. sent time. TWO O'CLOCK. It appears, according to accounts from Paris, that the King of France's speech at the opening of the French Ses sions will be of a similar description as that of our's, which is to be delivered on Thursday next. The information from the French capital says, that the Budget, which the French Ministry is to bring forward before the Chambers is already prepared, and which will be announced at the opening of the Chambers. Great ameliorations in the finances; a diminution of the imports of salt and liquors; also the suppression of the lottery ; and a system of eco nomy in the army. Should the above be correct, Prince Polignac is pursuing the same plans us the Duke of Wel lington, cutting and lopping down all branches. THREE 0' CL 0 CK. Consols for Account, 92k.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES. The tremendous increase which has latterly take" place in the consumption of ardent spirits, and th e consequent increase of crime and misery, has et' tiacted the attention of persons of all classes. Th: universal question now is, what is the remedy, Some propose an increase of the duty upon spirits, others a decrease of the duty upon beer, and ITI sures to prevent the opening of mere gin-shop* which is so much the fashion. We shall no t now discuss any of th ese , b ut s i mp l y recom mend that remedy which it is the great object of TO; peranee Societies to enforc e , an d w hi c h, a fter el" will be found to be the only really efficient one , viz. personal abstinence. It is admitted that retool is necessary. Let every man, then, who perceive s this, begin by reforming himself. L e t hi m also take care that his example shall not be lost. W e do not approve of an affectation of singularity upon . any occasion ; but there are too many well-meaning people, who permit themselves to be driven from their consistency, by a fear of being charge ° with this. Let th em b e contente d w ith the acquittal of their own consciences, and carry their principles into action, without regard to th e singularity which such conduct may exhibit. Sin gularity, most fortunately, is no proof of impro' priety. Who but a rogue would despise the sin' gularity which an honest man would exhibit in company of thieves? At the same time, t o prove that singularity is not their object, and that they are desirous of being divested of it by the adoption of the same course by all who surround them, thef should ever be ready to give a reason for their con duct, and upon every fitting opportunity to urge , with all gentleness, the reception of their prinev pies. The circumstances of the times require that men should no longer content themselves with merely supporting benevolent institutions. It is necessary they should come out in society, and wage open an d personal warfare against the abuses and corruption s with which we are well nigh overwhelmed. They should act as though the salvation of the community depended upon their individual exertions. If Oc t : a spirit were widely diffused, what might wen o ; expect from its operations. And why is it not Because men in general act from caprice, from fashion, from any thing but moral principles arid the dictates of duty.— Wee(ly Free Press.

TRADE.—The trade of this district has un" dergone no visible change since our last ; and the mono tony which characterises it leaves us no room for remark. The machinery in the manufactories is, for the most part, kept running, although not for long hours, and as we haw , often remarked, wages are lamentably low. The inc.l& mency of the weather has put a general stop to out•Aloor work, and during the week groups of quarrymen, and others similarly engaged, have crowded our streets, giving an appearance of distress greater than we have been am's' towed to see. Last night there was no appearance of thaw ; passages have been opened in the snow in tho l parts which, last week, proved so serious an impedimen t to the progress of the coaches ; the canals are still imps.' sable, but at a late hour a smart shower came on, and if' dicated a Change....liall:fitx County Chronick.
