LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 15, ts 44, Sir ROBERT , PEEL, who has now beeu three years in office, has met with more defeats in the 110 se of Commons than' any Prime Minister, during the sam e time, that ever preceded him . Thougli . he hasoomi : , Pally,. a 4 - najority at his back, which fills up the full complement of three'figures, considered if) the good old Tory days absolutely necessary t o carry' on. business i though he has all the talent of the ronegadeWhigsand ittialoals, and is supported by the landed interest, the moneyed interest, and the West and East India interest ; though he has all the Bishops and clergy, and -mono ' •Polists of every shade—he is the most helpless Minister that ever ruled the destinies of the country. His 1444 *try has been. called the. "strong "'Ministry-; ' but 'the: ' history of. his Cabinet • only Ole' old a' Proverb, That there is nothing in • 4, It we except that beautiful measure, the income-tax, and not aware that hegis3,as the New Tariff Bill, we are done orit anything.for which either . Tories, or Whi can thank him. Thee were his own meas adiCals, ; but how has he sue _coded in Bills which he entrusted ust i e i d to his new col leagues, and especially to the Secretary, Sir . JAMES GRAHAM ? There is a. ititri• Y about every - thing the once RadiCal Baronet un:erta it is. only the result which might be expect ed from undertakes, and this „just IaWS by whiCh all .tbe- , atnau operations are 4,,verned. During his short cicn in office he has broughl - fbrwarl three important Bills,which have all m:Ferablv failed; and what is the most disgraceful , feoturu in these defeats. thy were so notoriously bad that ven the " three figures" had not the courage to support them. The amendment of the Poor-law Bill he was obliged to shuffle off till some more convenient period ; the Factories Education Bill was damned by the Dissenters alone; and the Twelve Factories Bill bids: fair to meet the same fate, from, the supporters of the " strong Mi nistry." ASHLZY, and FERRAND, and OASTLE& are up in arms against the. Government, and neither the RICHMONDS nor the BUCKINGHAM come to their re lief. Another great measure has been introduced this session, which far surpasses all the rest in im portance, and for that Sir ROBERT PEEL. has also to thank his new Whig-Radical alliesi:; Lord STANLEY, when out of office, introduced a. Disfranchisement Bill for Ireland; but the Whig Government, though weak, was still too powerful for him, and after some vain attempts to carry the obnoxious and most unjust restrictions on- the registrations in the sister country, he was compelled to abandon it. The same measure is now introduced in a new shape, and under different auspices—under the auspices of a nobleman, who should, above all others, have been saved from such an odious task. Lord ELIOT went to Ireland with the best prospects, for a Tory Secretary, of success. He was believed to be a-Man of mild and conciliatory disposition. He was' regarded by his party as too liberal ; but, nevertheless, a display or a deception was necessary, and a deception is the result. He has been made the instrument of Lord STANLEY or Sir JAMES . GRAHAM ; he has roused up an addi tional cry of indignation in Ireland _ against the Government. Concession, said Sir. JAMES GRAHAM, had reached its utmost limits ; but to oppression there is to be no limits. Twenty-five thousand county electors are to be struck at once off the roll, with as little ceremony as the old forty-shilling voters, and, according to the _showing of Lord Emor,without any thing like a proportionate compensation. The Bill is exceedingly complicated, and of course is totally incom prehensible to the great body of the Irish people ; but this naturally makes them look upon it with the more suspicion, and leads them to the conviction that while renegade Whigs are in office there is no salva tion for their country but in determined resistance. Neither Sir ROBERT PEEL nor Lord ELIOT is re garded as the author of this obnoxious scheme. It is traced to a different member of the Cabinet, and that member has ever shown the most bitter hostility to the sister country. Can any man then wonder that a new impulse is given to the repeal cry, and that Mr. O'CONNELL .sets all the sufferings of im prisonment at defiance on the announcement of this new outrage to his native land ? Sir R. PEEL solemnly declared that the Reform Bill was not to be touched; yet he allows a great inroad to be made upon it in a quarter where there was the loudest complaints of its defects. As a necessary consequence; the whole of Ireland is against him. We are not aware that there is one journal, or one party, or even the section of a party, in that country that looks upon his administra tion with common forbearance. Catholics and Orange men and Presbyterians vie with each other in denouncing the " strong Ministry." And does it fare better in England? Of all the daily journals published in the metropolis, only one solitary organ raises its fee ble voice for PEEL. Never was there such a shameful discomfiture; hut it is a just retribution. Renegades rarely succeed. Sir ROBERT PEEL tools, as his supporters Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and to his sorrow he finds that he trusted to a broken reed. The time is probably not distant, at which, owing to the improved machinery adopted in the collection and arrangement of statistical facts, we may arrive at modes of determining many political problems of extreme interest, with more celerity and certainty than have yet been attained, under less perfect facilities, for" arriving at authenticated economical data. If the scheme and working of the New Poor law have effected no other good, they have, at least, lay degrees, organised a test of singular efficiency in estimating the relative increase, from time to time;; of the value of real property—and of its in England and Wales. And, inasmuch as, of such' liabilities, none is so extensive or so permanent as the poor-rate itself, it is well that the fluctuations of the amount of that charge can henceforth be measured by an index,paripaBsu with the fluctuations of this value, of which it is the common indicator. We can scarcely form an adequate estimate of the enormous importance of which such digested information must •prove, in fUture times, to those who may have under taken to trace the domestic history of this nation in . its social and civil progression, and of its agricultural capital and rental more especially. They will not be left to the task of deducing unsatisfactory theories by labourious and protracted investigations, pursued' through disconnected channels of very various and uncertain authority, into the obscure effect of a few darkling hints or accidental allusions (such as the modern commentators on SUBTONIUS or TACITUS are compelled to rely upon, in guessing at some meagre particulars connected with the Imperial revenues, for example, or the value and taxation of land under the Empire--such as TACITUS and SUETONIUS them selves were under the necessity of 'resorting to in touching upon the same topics, in their rela tion to the earlier ages of the Republic). The art of :printing will probably perpetuate to the remotest posterity distinct, intelligible records from which the future annalist may cull with the certainty of correctness and authentication, the elementary principles :and the statistical details of our wealth— its investments and its administration. We have already hinted that the returns con nected with the Poor-law Amendment Act will, not be among the least valuable of the contribu tions to history, which the practice of our Legislature, in ordering all such documents to be printed, will have secured to those who are to come after us. We have just received a "Blue Book" that will corroborate (we think) our an• ticipation. It is entitled "A . Return, showing the total value of property assessed to the . Poor rates, for the year ended Lady-day, 1840; with the amount of money levied for Poor-rates for the years ending Lady-day, 1839 to 1842, on each parish in England and Wales." This exceedingly important paper appears to have been supplied for the information of Parliament, on the motion of Mr. Cr, PALMSIt. That gentleman is entitled to the thani e of the country for having so shaped • his. mo tion, because, the "summary " or 0 abstract" into which its :explicit and we 11-considered terms have permitted of the results collected being reduced, pre sents, at one glance, on a single page, in six columni, the substance of the whole detailed reports com prised in the subsequent 230 folio pages, 7 ,from all the many thousands of parishes comprehended within England and Wales. We have felt it our imperative duty, in many arti cles devoted to that subject, to direct public attention to the fearfully deteriorated condition and prospects of our industrial classes. It has been the endeavour of these articles to point out the cruel, the invidioui, position in which our monetary system has placed that vast and meritorious community to show that the operation of such a system has been, and must continue to be, to exclude from their fair share of the distributive benefit which all classes ought to derive from the multiplication of production and its commodi ties, and the reduced prices of • our manufactures,' the' very body whose wonderful labour has mainly and permanently kchieved those national advantages, from the benefit 'of which they alone continue to 'be ex cluded: The Sun has repeatedly demonstrated that among other effects of th e Currency - Bill of 1819, this proiue ing body is made to bear, annually, the burden of some thirty millions of taxation, which, on every principle of common sense, justice, and policy, ought to be —and in the original contemplation of the Legiala tureit was clearly intended they should be--borne by the rich or competent consumers. Finally, w e have warned our readers not to infer, from the oc casional increased activity of trade in given localities, and the consequent temporary action upon the market for labour, that to that action any degree be anticipated ;. or th a t a o n f y pe c r o m ns a i n d e e n ra c b y le mig safely ht diminution of the grinding . distress now weighing down our industrial community,, could be safely calculated upon. We grieve to add that the "Return . ," fatally confirms these gloomy forebodings, so far as the increase of poor-rates may be taken as a eriterion of their truth. The total Annual Value of the Real Property, assessed b .-- the Poor-rate,*for poor-rate of all England and Wales, in 1842, was nearly one million upon the same charge for 1839. This is a disgrace, that on many accounts more than countervails the increased productiveness of the property•tax, as will Ipe evident to all who consider how large a displacement of labour, and what multitudi nous sacrilce of minute capitals must antecede the addition of one million per annum to the poor-rates of England and Wales alone; besides the elements of this inauspicious increase appear in the detailed re turns for the very manufacturing districts in which trade is said to be most active. Can any facts more strongly affirm the soundness of the propositions we have advanced as to the inadequate wages of industrial labour, and that overruling cause—the vicious prin ciples of our monetary system—which,'whilst it exists, will keep them still inadequate, and accelerate the march of pauperism and misery. The Morning Post and the . Morning Herald have got up a " very pretty quarrel"—as Sir Lucius O'Trigger would phrase it—on the subject of the Agricultural Protection Society, which seems ;to be as much disrelished by the former, as it is approved by the latter, journal. The Post accuses the first Tract of that Society, which has just issued from the press, of coldness and insipidity, and of having a de cided tendency to send the farmers to sleep. The Herald, on the other hand, avers that it is a dispas• sionate appeal to the good sense of the great body of the people, as to whether the agrioulturista are not justified in the course which they have taken; and adds, that " to have filled such an Address with warm and spirit-stirring exhortations to energetic action, as the Post would recommend, would have been a practical bluader of the most palpable description." It is amusing to see two journals, both professing Toryism, both zealous in its cause, and earnest in their denunciations of the antagonist principle of Reform, thus going to loggerheads together on a sub ject of comparatively little moment, and the exact merits of which none but themselves can understand. The Herald, it appears, is too tame for the Post—the Post too uncompromising for the Herald. This is all that we can make out respecting the difference be. tween them, except, indeed, that the Herald is of opinion that the present Government is the best of all possible Governments, while the Post insists—to quote a homely adage .--that it is "no great shakes." Yet, despite this discrepancy of sentiment, we frequently find both journals fighting aide by side in the ranks of Toryism, and bespattering their mutual opponents with an equal amount of Billingsgate, and, in particular, laying the lash On the unhappy backs of Messrs. COBDEN and Bitetrr with all the energy they can muster ; so that we are really not a little perplexed to know what is the reason that they are just now so inveterate with each ether. Perhaps they will vouchsafe to enlighten us on this point ; and mean while we will proceed to make a fewtomments on the following diverting passage which appears in the Herald of this morning :—." The predicament of the agricultural body, at present, is that of patties in possession ; and who desire nothing more than to be let alone. They want no sew legislation. They require no agitation.' Their whole object is to maintain their present posi tion ; and this object will be more effectually achieved, not by raising the country into a flame, but by calm ing, as far as may be, the agitation which has of late' years existed." The naivete of this passage is inexpres sibly entertaining. Who does not know that the mo- • nopolists " desire nothing more than to be let alone ?" Who requires to be told that "they want no new legislation ?" Who entertains a doubt that their " whole object is to maintain their preeent position ?" As a matter of course they are actuated by these feelings, for however injurious mono-. poly may be to the rest of the eommunityi those who thrive by it—fatten on it—and turn it to a most profitable account, are naturally anxious to maintain the system just as it is, without the slightest' alteration or improvement. But because the mono polists entertain these views, is that a valid reason why the country at large should entertain them ? The boroughmongers were not less anxious to main tain possession of the rotten boroughs ; but Lord GREY, with the people at his back, did not consider, this a sufficient argument against Reform. • The Herald adds, in reference to the Anti-Corn-law League :—" We should be glad to see the Protection Society endeavour to force from the League, by a public demand, an explicit statement of its real objects. It is almost - a 'unique example of success in the trade of fraud and imposition that a set of men, who will neither tell the public who they are; nor what they are really aiming at, should yet have succeeded in drawing from the public a contribution of several thousands of pounds." The League, we conceive, has already quite sufficiently explained it 4 "real objects," and surely there is no need that, for the twentieth time at least, it should repeat its ex= planation! Itstreal :object is to put down monopol y —as our Contemporary knows right well, 'notwiths, standing his affected ignorance-4o show favour to none, but to see that fair play is given to the induss try and enterprise of all. As for the Herald's comi plaint that the League will not " tell the public who they are," has not the leader of that great Con+ federacy already told the public that he is the son of a Sussex farmer; and does not the whole country knoW that he is an intelligent Manchester manufacturer, a Member for Stockport, an able speaker, a judicious man of business, an object of fear and abhorrence to Mr, BANKES of Dorsetshire, and a thorn in the side of Sir R. PEEL ? If the Herald, on the part of the public, is anxious to gain more particulars respectiti the great leader of the League, we dare say that, on making due application to him, Mr. Connzw, who is a courteous gentleman, will supply him with all ne cessary information respecting his age, his habits, his studies, where he was christened, and when he was married ! The Madrid journals of the sth are chiefly filled with details of the religious ceremonies observed on Good Friday. The Cabinet, it appears, has had it meeting relative to the proposed alterations concerning the 'press, and it was understood that an ordonnance on the subject would be published forthwith, and also for declaring martial law at an end. 'The Depu ties, who had been imprisoned now for three months, had been allowed to receive the visits of their friends, and great crowds took advantage of the 'circumstance to leave their names at the prison. The Bourse remained closed. • The affairs .of Otaheite again occupy the attention of the Paris -journalists. The arrival of an officer with dispatches from Admiral DUPETIT TUOVAIe 114. S excited considerable. curiosity ; and, as the . Govern ment appear anxious . to conceal their contents', - some of the Opposition p a p ers i n f er:. that .tbe intelligenee froM that quarter i s no t favourable.• The Siecte, however, asserts the contrary, and state s that the delay in publishing the documents arises froit the embarrassment into which the Government : isithroWn by disowning so hastily the acts of a . public fimo tionary, who had merited well of his country. " The officer arrived from Otaheite," : . says that journal, " with dispatches from Admiral DUrITIT THOUARO, and who is said to have brought a most favourable account of the colony sines the establishment of our sovereignty, must have been in no slight : degree as tounded at the reception he has met with. - He' ex pected congratnlatiOns, and perhapi an ovation; but finds that. a sentence of disavowal has been pro nounced, even without that information as to cir cumstances which he, no doubt, was commissioned to lay. before the Minister of Marine. _The advent of this officer, who was a member of the. Commission for insuring respect to the protectorate of France, and has since been Aide r le-Carnp to Adiniral Dvrarrr Tumults, is a political event of inccintestible gravity. The disavowal by the Government has not yet, been discussed and decided upon by the 'Chamber, thanks • to the humility of the Ministry, which has dis pensed with an approval, and contented itself with a suspension of sentence of condemnation. The Ministry owes to the Chamber, and the country a full communication of all that' has now pome, to its knowledge' . The : .I"tatiqnai also calls for explanation on two grounds. " tither I the dispatches," it says, "justify the conduct of the Admiral towards Queen POMARE, or they justify the Government which has censured the Conduct of the Admiral. in the latter case; the Government owes to the country and to itself to make known the docu ments ; in the contrary case, it owes to the country and to itself to retract a disavowal which it made too hastily." The affair it is expected will be brought before the Chambers in a few days. From another source we learn that Queen Po rsiti is not the only person with whom the Admiral has quarrelled. Some of his own countrymen had rebelled against his au thority, and the disputes became so serious that he was obliged to expel them from the Wand. The fol lowing is the aceount given of the transactios taken from the Journal du Havre " Scarcely_ had the Governor-General been installed, when he had to contend against difficulties which, this time, were not got up by the English, but by our fellow-countrymen themselves. It appears that several Frenchmen established in the island have experienced some prejudice in their inte rests from our having taken possession of the country, and have complained much of M. Moerenhout, who was the French Consul, but who, since our occupation, has been promoted to the post ofdiroctor of the interior of the new colony. The charges brought against this functionary were laid before the Governor-General, who did not consider them to be well founded. The persons who complained of injury to their in terests, instead ofwaiting patiently for as more opportune mo ment to demand justice , persisted in their accusations, and in such terms that the Governor-General thought it necessary to expel them from the island. Among these wo may men tion M. Desalt* who received orders to quit, and who eventually took his departure hi the Jonas, of Nantes. M. Desentis intends to appeal to the Council of State, not merely against M. Moerenhout, but also against Admiral I Dapetit-Thonars. We shall not go farther now in our reve -1 lations of the details which have reached us, and which are of a nature to give pain to all men who desire that the name of France should be respected in those distant coun tries." M. REINS, the officer who brought over the dis patches, had an interview with the Km; on Wednes day, in the presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Marine, and Marshal Souza.

SHIPWRECK_OF THE WILBER. FORCE STEAMER. The surmises lately entertained relative to the fate of this splendid vessel are too welt founded. She was engaged in the late unfortunate Niger expedition, and it is stated that no vessel in her Majesty's service was more comr2othously fitted up than the Wilberforce. Since the flilure of that expedition, she has been com missioned to the service on the coast of Africa, under -the- -command of Lieutenant-Commander Richard (Moore, and was, we believe, engaged surveying the river Gambia when she met with the disastrous acci dent. The letters received are dated September 6th, from which it appears that on the 2d of that month the Wilberforce was proceeding on a cruise along the Gambia, when, at about ten o clock at night, the air bright and clear, the officers and crew were alarmed by the vessel striking heavily upon apparently a sunken rock, which subsequently proved cor rect, it being situate on the east side of the Dog Islands. • As a precaution to save the lives of all on board, Lieutenant Moore had the paddle-box life boats got afloat in case of necessity, .and every exertion was directed to - get the ship off the rocks ; her gims were thrown overboard, also her cables, an chors, shot, and stores ; but notwithstanding she be 'Caine a fixture, and by the following day it was found -that the vessel was completely settled on the island, - and the edge of the rock was protruding through her - bottom, and she was half full of water. -On the in telligence arriving at Bathuat, St. Mary's, the go vernor, accompanied by most of the maste rs and cap tains of the merchant-vessels th en lying in the har bour,' and other assistance, proceeded to the wreck, in the hope of getting her off. Her masts and all the rigging , were taken out of her, as well as a por tion of her materials, but still she re mained as firm as before, consequently she w ill. become" a total wreck. Part of her ere* have been taken back to St. Mary's, where they await further orders. The . Wilberforce was the largest vessel built for the Niger expedition;ind was, we understand, upwards of 600 tons burden. When fitted out at Woolwich, about three years since, she was the admiration of her Ma jesty and her Royal Consort Prince Al bert, who' vi sited sited the dock-yard for the purpose'of inspecting the vessel and the other steamer built for the expedition. Futs AT BASS'S PALE ALB STozzt.—Between the C hours of twelve and one on Sunday mornin g a fire wa s discovered raging in the premises belonging to Messrs.

A number of engines were with all possible speed at the scene, and, being aided by an abundance of water, they soon extinguisked the flames, the danger being confined entirely to the loft and stabling, which are consumed. A man, who it is supposed had fallen asleep in the loft, is reported to be much burnt, and was taken ,to the ' hospital.' ; • A wag says that in journeying lately he was Tut into an omnibus, with a dozen persons; of - whom he. (lid not know a single one. Turning a corner, shortly after, however, thd omnibus was upset, " and then," said he, " I found them all out."--HuilAriveYafer• "1 We learn from Cologne that the desire to invest capital in the German railroads is so great that the application 9 for shares of the intended road front Cologne to Creteld, for which only 2,400,000 Prussian crowns were required, amounted to 52,908,000 crowns; and for the road from Bonn to Coblentz, for which three millions and a half were wanted, the applica tions amounted to eighteen millions. The Municipal Council of Rheims voted, on the Bth inst., a credit of 1,500,000 f., to guarantee a minimum of interest of 3 per cent. to a capital of 5,000,000 f., which was to be sub scribed in that town by the Company of the Strasburgh Rail road, passing through the valley of the Ai-sue, Soissons, Rheims, St. •Menehould, Metz, &c. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of Lyons, on the sth inst., to take into consideration the Bill for the rail road between Paris and Chttlon, and the interests therein of Lyons in particular, it came to a resolution to petition the Chamber that the road should be continued to Lyons, either by the State or by Companies, and that the two Bills should be both presented and passed thi► session. The Municipal Council of _Dietz has come to a resolution that it will grant an annual sum of 40,0001, as a guarantee for the payment of the interest on the capital to be embarked in the proposed railroad between Metz and Sarrebruck: The Lyons journals of Wednesday inform us that there has been no fresh disturbance at Rive-de-Gier, but that the miners who have turned out have not yet returned to their work, although they have been offered their former wages. They demand that a tariff shall be drawn up, and signed by the owners of the mines. LAW AND POLXCE. At Guildhall, Julia Regent, aged 17, a girl of the wandering mendicant class, was charged with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, value 71. 55., in the shop-window at Mr. Boyle 's, a jeweller, No. 28, Cheapside, about eight o'clock the preceding evening.- --Sir Peter Laurie_ asked the prisoner why she did it ? She.r.eplied she wanted togo to prison. Sir Peter Laurie said he would give her the full term of punishment, and com mitted her to hard labour for two months. A slight-made, delicate-looking woman, named Jane Thorpe, alias Hindle, apparently about 24 years of age, was charged before Mr. Bingham, at Worship-street, with being implicated in numerous robberies in dwelling-houses, coin mitted by a man named William Hindle, an engineer, who is now in custody on those charges. After hearing the evi dence of the policeman who arrested her, the magistrate ordered her to be remanded, and brought up again on Mon day for re-examination with the other prisoner. kdward Proctor, who had been apprehended some days since at an early hour in the.morning in the same bed with his mother, by geripant Teackle, of the H division of police, on a charge of being concerned with his brothers and two other persons in an extensive system of fraud and plunder, was brought before Mr. Norton, at Lambeth-street, for final examination. The other members of the gang had previously been finally examined, and stood committed for trial. There are altogether upwards of thirty cases against the prisoners, and the property which they obtained amounted to 700/. or 800/. Sergeant Teackle said that in all his experience he had never had such difficulty in bringingforward witnesses. Mr. Norton paid a merited compliment to the Sergeant for the skill and activity he displayed in apprehending the whole of the gang and bringing them to justice, and com mitted the whole of the prisoners for trial at the present session of tho Central Criminal.

IRISH THEATRICALS. After a short mess the Theatre Royal opened last evening when Madame 'Celeste and .Mr. Webster, who has in the character of a lessee contributed much'to. the. success of the -drama, made .their respective debuts---4he tir,t after an interval of several years, and the latter as a -stranger to our boards. The opening piece was entitled St. Mary's Ere ; and although the materials on which it is constructed are slight, an obvious attention has.been paid to stage effect . antl the story never halts in its pro. gress v . so - that - -the dialogue when pointed tells with-due success, and when common place the events.hurry the audience away from any critical. resolve, and they are disposed to think of what is to be done rather than of what has been - said. The main incident 'on which the plot hinges is the endeavour of a sister 'to conceal a brother on whose-head a price has been set for political offences, and in. this attempt she estranges the affectien of her lover, who, under the impulse.of jealousy, exposes to . the perils of death the person.` whose life he has deep interest in preserving. Madame Celeste, as the de reted-sister Madeline, acted with a striking energy and vigour that could not but command sympathy, and her -gestures' did-not -want -the aid of words to convey the meaning which was intended. By this it is not to be understood that she did not take - a part-in the dialogue, for the reverse - was the - case and the foreign accent with which-she spoke added to rather than detracted from the general merit of her impersonation, of the part. Several of her attitudes.were studies, and one might instance that when she becomes aware of the-receipt of the letter from her brother—and -again, when returning conacious ness reveals the truth that the reprieve she had obtained for the Jacobite soldier had been taken away from her. In her dancing Madame Celeste, as in her acting, l oo k s to what is decided in manner, and seeks the real rather than the Ideal—the fire of -action rather than the poetry -of motion. Mr. Baker sustained the part of a drunken postman with quiet humour, and the drama was fairly cast in other particulars. At the fall of the curtain Ma dame Celeste had - to appear to receive the plaudits-of the audience in obedience to a foolish custom, which, like other foolish customs, - has become the mere established because no reason con be assigned for its continuance. In the very slight piece called the Woman Hater, Mr. Webster had not any great opportunity offered him of displaying his - talents, but in what he had to do he proved hintself quite at home, and there was an absence of effort which was'atterided a beneficial result. We hope soon to see Ur.Wehater in a character of more pre tension. The entertainments concluded with a spectacle written by Mr. Coyne,- the World of Dreams, and emi nently successful when brought chit in London. It has been put upon the stage in a creditable way, and Madame Celeste, as the rustic beauty Violette, was •in.object de serving of all the solicitude and interest to which she gave rise. The house was very well attended, and the present engagement promises to be remuner .. ative_.— ,Saunders's News Leiter, April 9.. . THEATRE ROYati.--.The Pretty ..Girls of Stilberg, which was produced last night, betweenSt: Maiy's Eve and The W041 . 0f Dreams, is a. drains in the style of The . In . bineibles. -The pretty 4:11A - ---and falcinating group they are L--don the military garb, aral , go through the martial manoeuvres with the -precision 'of veterans ; but here the resemblance between the meagre sketch of Madame Vestris's- interlude, and the Superb mire en scene, of the piece of which Madame Celeste is the heroine, ceases. The 04 is, of course, but a slight affair ; a number of the young pages of the iuip_rial Court, stationed- at Stilberg in the course.of Napoleon's campaigns, are the victims of the charms ef.the Pretty Girls, .and afterwards' ef. their travestie. Ernest, the leader of. the pages, is acted by Webster,' who dresses himielf, and arranges his head in such a. manner as to present a vivid likeness' of Napoleon. -Madame Celeste acts Margot,. the espieyle leader of her Companion , ' in all mischief • • She. -brings a mass of Atuazons -in Prussian uniform on the stage,- whose appearance. marching:, -countermarchings and discipline were- really stirprising. The audience were in raptures, and called vehemently for Celeste-and Webster at the fall of the eurtain. Freeman's Joarnal, April' 11'. • . An instructive lesson is given to British capitalists in the following extract, as it shows that in most instances where American capitalists; &C., are almost exch*ely subscribers to railways, &c., sonic how or other the means are provided to pay 'interest. Not so with most of the shares held by foreiners—thero is the point where repudiation begins. The' facts referre,d to btlow are snviceable to warn the Ptiblicfrom laying out money in the 'Michigan and Illinois Canal, to complete which 1,600,0 C. dollars are asked to be raised in Europe. If the Canal, when finished, will be such a good invest ment, why do not the Americans subscribe the capital required? " Annexed we give a table showing the total receipts, expenses, and nett income of the'railroads of New Eng land. It is a very instructive - statement to the capatilists of this city. and shows that money invested in this kind of property produces rapid and profitable returns. The average per cent. nett income of the twelve roads of New England. is a little over five: The average per cent of those paying dividends is nearly seven. There is a two fold benefit arising froin the exi.terice of this description of property. The first is the safety of the investment, and the second is the good these improvements produce by developing the resources and wealth of the country." The railways are enumerate& and the results are— The cost has been 21,613,380 dollars. Total receipts in 1843-2,297,403 dollars The expenditure, 1,177,817 dollars, and the profit 1,176,726 dollars. The comments upon those figures are these : " Nearly every dollar of the 21,613,000 invested in these railroads is owned by the people of the six Eastern States. Farmers, mechanics, day .iftbourers, operAiye, in manufactories, in fact, those following all pursuhs, who have a little money to spare, invest it, as fast as it accumulates, in these railroads. It is estimated that the stock of these Companies is held by more 'individuals than that of any other corporated companies in the country. This is the secret of their success. Capital is invested at the beginning for a perniane.tit• resting ,place. It is intrusted to individuals in whom the public have the most implicit confidence, and it is invariably, to the last ft action, devoted to the purpose for which it was aepropriated. Thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars are not used up in counsel fees, salaries, and mis cellaneous items. In NeW England three roads have been built for what it has cost the Erie road of this State for commissions, brokerage; and counsel fees.".
