"Nwil'i. firitinfr , , lONDON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1844. It is a praise always to be conceded to our brethren of Scotland,.that their opinions on all great questions of domestic „policy and interest are eminently entitled to respect and consideration. The sober, and usually accurate, judgment at which they arrive, when such matters become the subjects of general discussion, seems to be the result of a certain intuitive sagacity—sharpened ani expanded by the sound elementary education so largely diffused among them. It is seldom that we have, had to note exceptions to . this rule. When they do occur, therefore, they are the more startling, by their contrast with the ordinary course of those recorded views which have challenged our observation. Now, one of these exceptions, we must fairly own, we identify with the general de meanour of the Scottish public throughout the whole of the proceedings and debates that ensued, in Eng land, on the introduction by Sir ROBERT PEEL, last session, of the Bank Charter Renewal Bill. Whilst it was still uncertain whether—or rather, whilst it was still assumed that—the Premier did propose to extend the application of his ill-conditioned measure to Scotland, the hid spirit of Sir Mungo Malgrow ther was raised, and walked abroad again. All the North was up in arms against the apprehended de .scent of the wrong-headed First Lord of the Trea • Bury on a system, under which all Scotland had prospered, from its first establishment, just a century and a half ago, down to 1844, in the extension of its agriculture and its commerce, and the steadily increas ing opulence and enterprise of its people. Sir ROBERT —if his words were intended to carry their ordinary acceptation—had, most undoubtedly, in one of those • didactic pra-lectiones with which he favoured the House of Commons before bringing in his Bill, inti mated his intention to apply it to the Northern as well as the Southern division of Great Britai n . B ut t h e riEw ) t.wlloo f' manager" soon found, from very unmistakeable - indications of gathering displeasure, that he must not attempt the twofold experiment; that the discreeter, - if not tha more generous and open—part, would br, - to 3ecure, one victim at time, an.l b y allowing the other to look on unscathed, for a season, he better seduee him into a delusive belief of his own security from a similar fate. Sir ROBERT, therefore, Lt first jr.suitically replied to a brief and distinct quest n— that it was not, at present, intended to apply the ope ration "of the Bill to Scotland and its Banks." The bait was seized. The opposition of the Scotch cooled down to a passive indifference to the fate of the English banks, and this indifference enured, even after the Premier, having " dispatched the business" of the latter, announced, with some degree of un guarded triumph, " that, in the ensuing session, he would move Parliament to enact a similar treatment for Scotland." With these circumstances fresh in our memory, we cannot concur with the Morning Post in holding that, " in their attention to all matters con nected with the currency of their country, the Scotch set an example to the English which the latter would do well to follow." And when our Contemporary affirms that if the public, here, were as much alive as the Scotch are " to the interests of the country as in fluenced by the currency, they might have escaped the fatal consequences which are likely to arise from the operation of the recent Bank Charter Act," we beg to remind him, that, to the selfish and erroneous holding back, which we have described, of the Scotch banking interest, must be mainly ascribed the issue of that fruitless, but prompt struggle, which the English banking interest sustained against the pretensions of the Bill in question. It is a more pleasing duty, now, to notice a step in a better direction, taken by a county meeting, on this new Bank Act, which was held at Edinburgh on Tuesday last. At that meeting (where, by the bye, Sir GEORGE CLERK was present, and, for aught that appears, not dissenting) certain resolutions, condemna tory of any interference with the existing banking system in Scotland, were brought forward by Sir GIBSON CRAIG, Bart. (father of the Hon. Member of that name who sits for Edinburgh). These resolu tions we publish in another column. A very brief summary of their more salient points will awaken in our readers the same conviction which the resolutions have excited in us—that the mind of Scotland is once more keenly awake to the dangers to be apprehended from that most rash and uncalled-for tampering with the representative capital of the kingdom, which they so emphatically denounce. No. 1 declares that the Scottish system, which has been carried on ever since 1695, with the addition of 1/. notes since 1704, has met with the cordial support of all classes, especially the agricultural and commercial community of Scot land. No. 2 affirms, that no adequate reason has been assigned for the projected interference with a system which has worked thus advantageously for all parties. No. 3 illustrates the perfect stability and security of the banks, at present in operation in Scotland with their paid-up capital of, in the aggregate, 12,000,0001., and their circulation, little exceeding 2,800,0001. No. 4 raises a strong argument to prove that, with this very moderate circulation as compared with paid-up capital, gold, which is scarcely known in the circula tion of the country, is not required either by the habits of the people, or to supplement the peculiar mode which obtains among them of operating on cash accounts ; a mode which has actually diminished the currency, coincidently with the numerical increase of Scottish banks. No. 5 shows that the bank-note cir culation of Scotland is much less than that of Eng land, whether in proportion to the population or the general business of the country ; and No. 6, that the Scottish circulation " has no direct dependence on foreign exchanges, but varies with the demands of trade, or with the regular recurrence of terms and great cattle markets." (Would to GOD ! that Sir ROBERT PEEL could have digested plain practical good sense like this, instead of experimenting on the analogous case of the English circulation, with the crotchetty nos trums of the bullionists, and of his own financial pe dantry I) No. 7 sets forth some local reasons of peculiar force why the change from a paper to a bullion circulation in Scotland would be attended with infinite vexation to the people, besides being utterly unnecessary. No. $ suggests the utter failure of general accommodation which would ensue, in Scotland, on the withdrawal of bank-notes below Si.; seeing that paper of the lower denominations forms nearly three-fifths of the whole circulation of Scot land ; and it demonstrates, on the other hand, the in calculable benefit which the existing system has pro duced, by developing all the great resources of that country. No. 9 ably concludes these pleas for the continued maintenance of that system, by the remark that it has stood the tests of the rebellions of 1715 and 1745, of the crisis produced by the French Re volution, of the panic in England of 1825, of the great failures among us in 1837, and the critical period of 1839-40. We are delighted to perceive that the re presentatives of the whole " county interest," as it is called, of Scotland, are instructed to give their vigor ous support, in Parliament, to representations and remonstrances of this kind against the extension of the Bill of last session to Scotland. Should these be successful, it will of course be telt that what is thus bad for Scotland, cannot be good for England and IVales, or for Ireland; and so we may hope for the repeal of the Premier's most obnoxious legislation of 1844 on banking. The Herald of yesterday affects to be facetious —but is dull by mistake—on the subject of the late great meeting at the Manchester Athenaeum. Mr, D'isnlnnes speech, in particular, diverts our Con temporary exceedingly, and he asks with amusing naiveté—" Of what importance on earth is it to the rest of the empire to know that this gentleman went down to Manchester, to tell the people there the his tory of what they themselves had done—a history with which they were, of course, much better ac quainted than he could possibly be ?" This, it must be confessed, is smart ; or rather it would be smart, were it either just, pertinent, or pointed. But the inherent defects of nature are not to be counteracted by even the most strenuous labour, and therefore, despite our Contemporary's evident determination to put a witty question, he has put—what he could not help—simply a dull and a nonsensical one. From the manner in which he shapes his interrogatory, the reader would infer, as a matter of course, that Mr. DISRAELI went down to Manchester for no other purpose than to enlighten the inhabitants of that great manufacturing capital on the subject of their own particular branch of commerce; to give them a his tory of the rise and progress of the cotton trade ; and of the wonderful improvements they had effected in the power-loom and the spinning-jenny. But, un luckily for the Herald, the Hon. Member for Shrews bury went down to Manchester for no such idle pur pose. He is not the man to carry coals to New castle. He went down—not unsolicited, by the bye, but at the express invitation of some of the leading men of the Athenaeum—to give expression to senti ments of the utmost consequence to a commercial com munity—sentiments lofty, generous, and bracing in their tone, and such as it does an English audience good to listen to—sentiments breathing a fervid emotion, extensive in their application, catholic in their ten dency, and calculated to foster a sense of self-respect and ncble emulation among men, whose minds are but too apt to become warped and dwarfed, and covered over with a hard, dry crust of selfishness from the engrossing nature of the worldly and business-like pursuits in which they are engaged. The beautiful, heartfelt truths enunciated by the Member for Shrews bury and his accomplished young friend, Mr. SMYTHE, at Manchester, will not—however it may suit our Contemporary's views to sneer at them—be soon for gotten by the admiring thousands who listened to them, but will sink deep into their hearts, and bring forth fruit in due season. "Mr. D'lsannu," continues the Herald, "enunciated some rare maxims, and one of these was, that it is the duty of every citizen in a free community to be acquainted with the opinions he has formed. We hope this is a duty which Young England has not failed to perform, for if their opinions as we presume their phantasies are designated—can be reduced to a comprehensible system, the sooner some one of the fraternity remembering the fate of the theories of the late .Reverend and ingenious EDWARD IRVING, pro mikates their politics in a known tongue, the more advantageous will it be to their prosperity." So far as we can perceive, there is nothing cloudy nor incomprehensitle in the opinions advocated by that band of ardent, generous, and thoroughly English spirits who call themselves—say, rather, who are called by others—" Young England." They are not visionaries—they are not fanatics—on the contrary, they are to all intents and purposes men of the world, but in whom worldly knowledge has not yet chilled nor destroyed the better impulses of nature. Their party is a far more numerous one than is generally supposed, and em braces any individuals who—good easy souls l—have nut the remotest notion that they hold any thir.g in common with them. Whoever advocates the legi timate rights of the poor, and desires to see fair play between them and their superiors, he is Young Eng land. Whoever wishes to see an end put to that de basing party strife which has so long warped the minds of some of the ablest statesmen of the day, and by preventing them from co-operating with each other, has retarded the great cause of public improve. ment, he is Young England. Whoever wishes to bring the different grades of the social community more in harmony with each other than they have ever yet been, he is Young England. Whoever loathes—as we do—from his inmost soul the hollow, sickening cant of political expediency, and prefers to hold fast by political principle, with out which there can be no true greatness either among men or among nations, he is Young England. Finally, whoever desires to see popular education based on a tolerant and enlightened foundation, so that the false shall never more be mistaken for the true—the shadow for the substance—the word for the thing—he is Young England. In a word, Young England is nothing more than an appeal to what may be yet left of justice, honour, generosity, self-reliance, and healthy, catholic feeling in the English character. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, the Lady Mary Wood, we have received intelligence from Gibraltar to September 28; Cadiz, 29 ; Lisbon, October 1; and Oporto, 2. The Cortes assembled at Lisbon on the 30th of September. In the Chamber cf Deputies the Minister of the Interior read a report of the use the Government hail made of its discretionary po ers. The Chamber appointed two Committees, one of which to give its opinion upon the use made thereof by the Government, and the other to take into consideration the subject of a bill of indemnity. The Duke of PALMELLA presided in the Chamber of Peers, when nearly similar proceedings took place, with some slight opposition on the part of Count LAVRODIO. The session, it is believed, will be very short. The tobacco, soap, and gunpowder contracts, had been let for 1.521 contos, on the condition of a loan to Government of one million sterling at 5 per cent. Madrid papers of the 29th have been received, but they bring no news. It is understood that the speech of the QUEEN, at the opening of the Cortes, will contain an outline of the changes in the Consti tution, which the Government have in view. The preparatory meeting was fixed for the 2d inst. MADRID BOURSE, SEPT. 28.—Five per Cents., 20i for cash ; Three per Cents., 28i for cash. The Paris papers announce that the KING and QUEEN, Madame ADELAIDE and the Duke of MONT PENSIER arrived at Eu on Thursday night, at eleven o'clock. The visit of his MAJESTY to England is strongly opposed by the Opposition journals, for no other reason that can be imagined but pure hatred of this country. LOUIS PHILIPPE wishes to live at peace with all the European States, because he believes it for the good of his people, as well as con ducive to the stability of his dynasty. The Repub licans and Legitimatists wish for war, because they vainly suppose that the darling object of each would be the result. The Siecle, a journal hostile to Eng land, thus blames the KING for returning the com pliment of a visit, like a gallant Frenchman, to Queen VICTORIA :—" It is on Monday next, that his Majesty Louis Puieiren is to quit the French soil and sail for England. It appears that this unpopular as well as ill-timed journey has experienced even in the bosom of the Royal Family a resistance before which any Minister but M. GUIZOT would have hesitated. It is even said that the KING'S physicians, whose opinions had been asked, would not advise that it should be undertaken. In fine, and as if the Ministers wished to concur in demonstrating the gra vity of this determination, it is proposed to delegate during the absence of the KING the exercise of the Sovereign authority to the Duke DE NEMOURS, who is to be appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom. A journey which requires such precaution ceases to be a party of pleasure, and becomes an affair of State. The excursions of Queen VICTORIA are of no conse quence. She is a young woman who seeks amuse ment with a species of passion, and whose caprice leads her wherever a new sight is promised her, either at the Isle of Wight, the Chateau d'Eu, or even in ' the fogs of the Highlands. But a KING of 70 years of age should not run after adventures; and when it is seen that the Ministers who are conducting Louis PHILIPPE to Windsor require of him a species of political testament before he embarks on board the steam-boat, it is naturally asked whether the trifling satisfaction of receiving some bravoes in England can compensate and justify the embarrassments to which the Government has the appearance of expos ing him. The KING'S journey is giving serious uneasiness to a number of the Conservative party. We require no better proof than the silence observed by the Journal des Debats. As to the Opposition, with out being insensible to the pre-occupation which ap pears to pervade the majority, it reserves its soli citude principally for the political side of the question. It' it do not approve of the journey, it is because it considers the state of the relations between the Governments of France and England, and thej ust susceptibility which is produced in France by every appearance of anxiety on the part of the French with respect to the English Government." The affair of Otaheite has been again revived in all its bitterness by the letters of the Times corre spondent, describing the battle between the French and the natives. Even the Constitutionnel, a journal generally conducted with temper and discretion, looses all self-command on the subject. "We are reduced," it • says, "to have recourse to the journals of London for the details of the last events at Ota heite, and certainly it is not the truth which we find in the correspondence of the Times, but lies and abuse. We copy these odious letters, which make their appearance most apropos, in the midst of the visit of the KING of the FRENCH to Windsor. But let it be well understood. the people who have written to the Times have seen nothing, and know nothing of what has taken place; they are guided by such furious passions ; their reason and judgment are so mastered by hatred to France, that their view is necessarily troubled. They do not narrate facts; they outrage. These English, these Christians, who, in a conflict between France and a people of savages, feel sympathy only for the Otaheiteans, and transform our soldiers into canni bals, give us, by their language, the measure of their sentiments of humanity and religion. It is true that they owe this last testimony to these poor islanders, who have been in all this affair but the docile instru ments of their fury. If we pause on the letters of the Times, it is particulary to remind the Ministry of the sad consequences of the inconceivable conduct which it has adopted. The Minister of Marine must have in his possession all the reports of Commandant BRUAT on the late events at Otaheite. lie has pub lished nothing except a garbled note, which is con tradicted even in its short details by the few private letters which hare reached France. Why has this incomplete information been given to the public ? Why has not the report concerning the affair of April 18 been inserted in the official journals ? Where is the State reason which did not allow to be done for Otaheite what is done every day for Algeria ? No thing excuses the silence that has been observed. If the Ministry had not done itself this inexplicable in jury, the English journals would blush to publish the insolent versions of the missionaries." The National is equally violent : " In default of news which the Minister does not give, we read in the English journal (the Times) letters written by Churchmen, for Churchmen perform a prin cipal part in the affairs of England. We have already the Consul Pritchard apothecary and accoucheur to her Otaheitean Majesty. We have had the chaplain of the Warspite, who endeavoured to conceal under his clerical mantle the base letters of some English officers. At present we have other reverend gentlemen, who take the trouble of announcing to the world that Divine Pro vidence has vouchsafed to bless the arms of the Ota heiteans, and, to deliver up to them a considerable number of French to be sacrificed. We had rather be lieve that the recitals of those pious divines are at least much exaggerated, and that, notwithstanding the evident assistance afforded by the English, the Otaheiteans have not done our countrymen as much injury as has been asserted. But it is certain that the English missionaries act against us in Otaheite the same part which Abd-d- Hader does in Africa, and it will not be their fault if there be not a St. Bartholomew perpetrated against the French at Otaheite. The Journal des Debats and the Globe, Ministerial papers, deny the statements contained in the letters. The former says :—" In the absence of fuller infor mation, we give the correspondence, making every THE SUN. LONDON, TIJEFDAY MORNING OCTOBER 8, 1844 reserve, and deploring at the same time the spirit of animosity and bitterness with which it is charged." We regret to find by the Inst accounts from Otaheite, which will be f,und is another part of the paper, that a still more serious occurrence than the "PRITCHARD affair" had taken place at Otaheite; but till we have more details we consider it better to make no com ment on the unfortunate event. Our firm conviction is, that while the French possess these islands in the Pacific, the peace between England and France will be constantly in danger. THE BOURSE—SATURDAY, OCT. 5.

Henry Goulburn, and also some of the Govprinnent Officers of State, left town by a rail way train f.-om the Paddington station of the Great Western Railway at half-past one yesterday afternoon, on their way to Windsor Castle, to attend the Privy Council appointed to be held by her Majesty at half -past two o'clock. HAMBURGII AND DUTCH MAIL. TRIESTE, SEPT. 23.—We hear that the German Zoll verein is t ngaged in negotiations with the principal Ita lian States. STETTIN, SEPT. 27.—1 t is reported that the of for paying a certain cspital to put an end to the Sound duty, as far as the Prussian provinces in the Baltic are concerned, have been 'resumed ; and this time on the proposal of Denmark. It is believed that the projected canal from lielsinborg to Landserona, which would be but a few leagues in length, has had some in tluence on this occasion, for according to the terms of the treaty concluded in 1645, with the Netherlands at Chrishanopel, only those ships and their cargoes are to pay the Sound duty which pass the Sound between El sinore and the opposite, for Helsiuborg, which condition would be avoided by the ships putting into the latter port. At all events, this news, it it should be confirmed, will excite new hopes in the Russian Baltic provinces, which would derive greater advantages from the aboli tion of the Sound duty. ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 10.—In the account of the victories of Schaniil Bey, in consequence of which even the inhabitants of Tiflis were said to be alarmed, there is not a word of truth. As usual, they were fabricated by those haters of the Russians, who lost no opportunity of displaying their talent at invention, by stating some thing against the character of those in the interest of the Russians. According to the official accounts, the moun taineers have not only not gained any victories, but have not even obtained the slightest, advantage, unless we reckon as such that the Russians have attempted nothing worth mentioning. In fact, General Neidhardt has net fulfilled the expectations that are entertained of his activity. COLOGNE, Srrr. 20.—Travellers who have arrived here from Venters, say that the popular excesses which occurred there some days ago, in consequence of the aversion to a projected establisnment of the Jesuits, were much more serious than they were represented in the Russian journals. At all events the Jesuits and their partisans will most probably be obliged to give up their plans respecting Verviers, for the prudent civil authorities of that town will scarcely now give their assent, now that the population have so decidedly ex pressed their disapprobation. We learn that the Jesuits are not likely to be more successful in their plans for forming establishments in other towns. THE HAGUE, OCT. I.—ln order to prevent the frauds which have already occurred in the sale of Ducth her rings in bonds, the Minister of Commerce at St. Pe tersburgh has thought fit to direct that the barrels shall henceforth be sealed with his seals, one at the top and one at the bottom, which stamps shall be united by an iron wire, passing under the hoops, so that any at tempt at fraud must be immediately discovered by the breaking or injuring of the seals. THE HAGUE, OCT. 3. —The Dutch iron Railway Com pany has published the statement of the traffic in the month of September, by which we Sind that the number of passengers was 74,252, and the receipts for passengers and goods was 67,990 11..rins. The total up to the end of September was 515,956 passengers, and the receipts 468,178 florins. AMSTERDAM, OCT 4.—According to the latest notice of his Excellency the Minister of Finance, the state of the conversion on the Ist Oct. was as follows : The sums of the debt at 5 and 4/ per cent. interest to be converted was, according to the Handelsblad, 400,251,200.

BERLIN, SEPT. 29.—There is no truth in the re port of the King's visit to the Rhine ; his Majesty will not again leave us at present. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 20.—The Copenhagen Post says it is now certain that the King of Prussia will pay us a visit on the 10th of October, at which time our King will return from Jutland. It is natural that this visit is supposed to be connected with regulations for the Sound Duty more advantageous to Prussia. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 27.—1 t was not till yesterday the ceremony of the coronation was solemnly pro claimed by four heralds as fixed for to-morrow. A notice was issued on the 25th that the general mourn ing was to be suspended ; but it is to be resumed , after the coronation, and worn for as long a time as be fore the ceremony. The custom of throwing money among the people, usual at coronations, is not to take place this time. his Majesty has announced this to the city magistrates. The I has ordered great entertainments fur the journeymen workmen next week. BERLIN, OCT. 1.- - Nothing is determined respect ing a visit of our King to Denmark. At our Court there has never been any mention of a journey of the King to Copenhagen, but only to a meeting in some Danish province near to it, where the King would certainly be the guest of his Danish Majesty. BERLIN, SEPT. 30.—1 t is reported that it is his Majesty's intention, after Tschech has been con demned in the second instance, and after negotiations to this effect has been opened with the English Go vernment, to banish him to an island out of Europe. This would he a new proof of the magnanimity of our King.—Hamburgh Paper, 0 t 4. macs' it. N US.--AbtaTERDAm, OCT. 4. Moor , # 41 . 1 11.

M. Rademakes, Consul-General of Brazil in Belgium and Holland, has received from his Government creden tials appointing him Minister at the residence of Queen IPomare. He will soon set out fin - his destination. A letter from Ghent of the 3d of October, says ; " Father Walk will shortly set out for Guatemala ; he will be accompanied by Father Affenaer, and some other members of the Society of Jesuits. The principal ob ject of their mission is to found a college there, and afterwards to preach among the savage tribes." it results from official accounts that the manufactures of cambrics and lawns, formerly so flourishing in the rural districts between Valenciennes and Cambray, and which for a long series of years enriched the merchants of those two cities, is declining from day to day. The linen manufactories are almost superseded everywhere by those of cotton. At the commencement of the Restora tion 350,000 pieces of cambric were manufactured every year ; at present not more than 90,000 pieces are ma nufactured, and the value of which is about 3,960,000 francs. • BRUSSELS, OCT. 4.—The Princess Mary left Ostend this morning with 125 passengers.

'There are very numerous arrivals to-day, but except the %Vest India steamer, they do not bring later intel ligence. The weather in Jamaica and most of the other islands had been rather favourable for the agriculturists, but great alarm appears to have bec.n excited in most of our West India possessions by shocks of an earthquake, Jamaica on this occasion appearing to have escaped. No lives had been lost, nor although the shocks were of unusually lengthened duration had there been any de struction of property. Answers to some of the petitions sent home against any alteration in the sugar duties had been taken out, and which intimate that her Majesty had graciously received them. It is stated that Hamburgh has made propositions for an alliance with the Zollyt , rein, being jealous of the treaty arranged between Belgium and Prussia ; but the statement needs no confirmation. The market for the Public Securities is not quite so hie' us on Saturday. Consuls for Transfer realise 1004 and for Time 1004 t.

The mirket is decide dly less buoyant, and the account from Otaheite of the insult to a British officer is the de pressing cause ; for although there have been no large sales, it causes au uneasy alarm. The Foreign Bonds are rather flat, generally.

Most of the Ministers present in Paris proceeded on Friday to St. Cloud to transact business with the Duke de Nemours, who, according to some, had been appointed Lieutenant• General of the Kingdom, and to others, mere President of the Council, without a deliberating vote. Marshal Souk is to manage the business of the Depart ments of Foreign Affairs and Marine during the ab sence of M. Guizot and Admiral Mackau. _ _ _ On Wednesday the Prince de Joinville was mingled with the crowd visiting the tent in the Garden of the Tuileries. His Royal Highness has become much sun burnt. The Minister of Marino left Paris on Friday morning for Eu. The Revue de Paris states that the affianced bride of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale, the daughter of the Prince de Salerno and neice of the Emperor of Austria, is alike remarkable for personal beauty and mental qualifications. The Duke d'Aumale is expected at Paris about the 20th inst. The Prince will thence repair to Naples in the beginning of November, the period fixed for his mar riage with the daughter of the Prince of Salerno, whom he is to conduct to France after the nuptial ceremony. The Duke de Montpensier is to accompany his brother to Italy. The famous parasol was exposed to view at the In valides on Friday. It is placed open, behind the iron railings of the choir. The colours of Morocco are placed on the pilasters at both sides of the grand altar. The Messager, alluding to the rumour of the loss of the Virginie, says:—" The correspondence, which has arrived at the Ministry of Marine up to the present day, contains nothing which can give the least foundation to what has been rumoured on this subject. After a short stay at Sainte Croix-de-T6:i4riffe, this frigate put to sea again, on the 2d of August, in most favourable weather, and since then no information has been re ceived to create any uneasiness as to the remainder of the voyage." The Revue de Paris announces that M. de Glucksbcrg was to leave Paris on Saturday with the treaty concluded between France and Morocco, and ratified by the two contracting Powers. The Courrier de la Drome gives the following statistic of the produce of silk in the several departments of France:—" Very little more than fifteen years have passed since there were only six departments in which there were extensive plantations of mulberry trees, for the general rearing of silk-worms. To these might be added sixteen others, in which this cultivation was carried on, but on a limited scale, and in a precarious manner. Now, however, forty-two new departments have taken up this profitable employment of time and capital; so that we have sixty-four out of the eighty-six departments clothed with mulberry trees, and producing silk in greater or lesser quantities. The Moniteur contains a very long ordonnanee rela• tive to the acquisition of property in Algeria, the gua• rantees to purchasers, and the various points connected with colonisation. The object of this ordonnance is to remove the difficulties which, owing to an imperfect legislation, have hitherto prevented the due development of cobnial enterprise. By royal ordonnance of September, 1844, the manu facture of gunpowder is formally prohibited in Algeria. The importation of foreign gunpowder is also forbidden. For the future no powder is t o . be sold in Algeria but such as comes from the royal manufactory in France. 1:41. CUT- IP.b.ii32l3Cti va The invitations sent out from the Lord Chamberlain's office on Wednesday to the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, &c., were counter manded on Saturday, when a re-issue was made, the cards stating the Queen's invitation to be from Tuesday the Sth to Monday next, instead of Wednesday the 9th, on which day it seems it was at first arranged that the King of the French would reach Windsor Castle from Portsmouth. The Duke of Richmond, and a large party from Gor don Castle, left that ducal residence early in the last week, for Inverness, to be present at the northern meeting. The Marquis of Bute left Cardiff Castle, his seat in Wales, on Monday last, for his estates in Bedfordshire.

The Rev. Robert Taylor, who made himself notorious as an infidel preacher and writer, is no more. lie died in the early part uf last month at Tours, in France. There is no truth in the report that Sir W. Symonris has resigned his office of Surveyor of the Navy, as stated in some of the papers.

The farm-buildings of Mr. Priddle, of North Stone ham, about four miles from Southampton, were disco vered on fire on Saturday.

It is stated that four ricks, gra • nary, pig -sties, a large quantity of corn, and other pro perty, was destroyed, and that it is not insured to its full amount. Strong suspicion exist that the fire was the act of an incendiary.

DEATH or ADMIRAL SIR JOHN POO BERESFORD, BART., K.C.8., AND G.C.H.—We have to announce the death of this distinguished flag-officer, which took place on Wednesday, at Bedele, in Yorkshire. The deceased Admiral, Sir John Beresford, was born in 1769, and was the natural son of George first Marquis of Waterford, and brother of Viscount Beresford. Ho married three times. Sir John Beresford entered the navy in the year 1782. In 1796, while in the command of the Lynx sloop, he captured La Concorde, of fourteen guns, and when Captain of the Raison, fought a gallant action with the French frigate Vengeance. In 1801, he was present, and rendered great services at the capture of the islands of St. Bartholomew, St. Martin's, &c. He com manded the Theseus at the attack on the enemy in Aix roads. In 1813 and 1814, he was actively employed on the American sta►ion, in command of the Poictiers. On his return to this country, he was selected by the Lords of the Admiralty to escort Louis XVIII. to Calais, on that monarch's restoration to the crown of France. In the succeeding month, he was created a Baronet of the United Kingdom. He was first elected a Member of the House of Commons in 1812. In 1835, on Sir Robert Peel succeeding to the Administration, Sir John was appointed one of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty, and contested the borough of Chatham with the Hon. Captain Byng, the result of the election placing Sir John in a minority of twenty-five. Since the termina tion of that Parliament, the deceased had retired entirely from public affairs, and resided mostly at his seir.ia Yorkshire. His naval commissions were dated as fol lows :—Lieutenant, 4th of November, 1790 ; Com mander, 6th of July, 1794 ; Captain, 25th of June, 1795 ; Rear-Admiral, 4th of June, 1814 ; Vice-Admiral, 27th of May, 1825 ; Admiral, 28th of June, 1838. He is succeeded in the Baronetcy by his eldest son, Captain George Beresfork now Sir George Beresford, Bart. THI WELSH CATTLE FAIRS.—Our cattle fairs during the month of September have been but thinly at tended by the drovers who usually purchase for the pur pose of driving cattle to the English fairs and markets. The failure of turnip crops, together with the short crops of hay and straw all over the kingdom (with very few exceptions) are alleged as the reasons. Compared with the business usually transacted at this season of the year, the amount of transactions has been small. Cattle fit for slaughtering were scarce, and a demand at 403. to 503. per cwt. to sink the offal; prime sheep are worth 3d. per lb., also to sink the offal. Pork and bacon pigs are a little on the advance, while small ones, and bare stores are at a very low price; good horses are scarce and in demand, while poor ones are nearly unsaleable. At Abergwilly fair, on Wednesday last, the show of beasts was very indifferent, and few changed hands. Horses ruled nearly the same as at the September fairs. —Welt man. COURT CIRCULAR.
