A few scions of our best aristocratic gentry, in the colonies—the trans planting of some such intelligent men of family and business and first-rate farmers as Mr. PUSSY, for example, the Pre sident of the ROYAL AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION—wouId not a little improve the transaction of Government business, and very largely advance the science of practical agriculture throughout the Government jurisdiction. Indeed, we are bold to believe that the settlement and example of one such individual, in a country so abundant in all mineral wealth and tropical products as Ceylon, would accomplish more for the interests of that tine island in ten years, than ; the continuance of Lord STANLEY in office, in Downing-street, could accomplish in a thousand. By a happy fatuity it is upon Ceylon that Lord STANLEY commences his experiments of official reform ; be cause ne example can be adduced of a colony in which the mismanagement of the great officers of the Crown at home has been so signally contrasted with the more sagacious treat ment extended to it by the servants of a commercial com pany, as this island of Ceylon. But let that pass for the present. It is i-Aagined in Downing-street, that if gentlemen holding civil appointments there presume also to possess and look after estates on which they have coffee plantations, their attention must be mischievously distracted from the due discharge of their public duties. If the fine old hunting establishment at the Oaks were still maintained, and Lord STANLEY himself were n'iw out three times a week with his late grandfather's hounds (as we have known him to be since he knew Downing-street), we are much mistaken if one word would have emanated from him, on this occasion, touching the incompatibility of official duties with the ordinary ma nagement of landed property. But those days of more in nocent and—we really must add—much more harmless exci ement seem to have gone by for Lord STANLEY. His evil star will not permit him to leave well alone. He could not keep his fingers off New Zealand, but he first raised a poli tical blister on its system iu the shape of his chosen Governor, Captain FITZROY ; and has since, in his efforts to reduce it, operated by such a counter-irritation as the encouragement afforded by his imbecile proceedings to the gentle HESU. Ceylon was doing somewhat better than of late, when Lord STANLEY issues his fiat that civil servants holding landed estates there must dispose of them within two years. Why, my Lord ? Your accusation against the parties is not a posi tive one ; you do not venture to tax them in terms with the specific offence of having neglected their public duty in look ing after their private property ; for in a subsequent dispatch, alluding to the " incidental mention" you have found "in a letter, of several officers of the Government being constantly absent from the capital at their coffee plantations,' your Lordship proceeds thus :—" I am happy to feel myself relieved from the necessity of inquiring into the truth or falsehood of this statement." Good. But why, then, act upon it precisely on the assumption that it is true? If you suppose it false, why inflict this arbitrary, this Oriental sentence of alienation of their property on the parties? If you are uncertain whether the statement be false or true, why deal with it exactly as you would if every tittle of it were affirmatively substantiated by your own con viction? There is much of the characteristic irritability, precipitancy, and (we add, with paid) injustice of the Noble Secretary in this inconsistent proceeding. But let us look at what his Lordship's charges are, when they are re reduced into• something less ambiguous than a Sybilline denunciation. His Lordship imputes to the gentlemen con nected with the Cingalese Civil Departments, " a low state of public feeling." What, does he imagine the public at large, and the Conservative party in particular, think of the tone of his own public feeling, when it leads him to exhibit him self, for years together, in the leading-strings of a political nurse of no higher character than Sir J. GRAIIA3I? The civil servants are reproached further, "with a want of energy and proper pride." (Strike us " New Zealand " and " Jamaica," out of the failures recorded of official imbecility and disingenuous tampering, my Lord, and then, if you please, talk of " energy " and " proper pride.") They • are reproved for being wanting in the zeal, without which ser vices cannot be advantageous to the people, or acceptable to the Government." What is his Lordship's construction of zeal? No reproach, for ought that he states, justly attaches to them for any defect of honest and even hearty intentions in the cause of their country. The feeling which engenders these intentions we respect as a generous zeal. But if Lord STANLEY quar rels with these gentlemen because they are not bigoted par tizans in all the movements of religious or political party— because they express themselves with temperance and moderation, and a solicitude for the feelings of others, instead of with ill dissembled resentment, vehement rashness, and a bitterness reckless of all the pain it may cause or the mis- chiefs it may sow, we congratulate the gentlemen of Ceylon for having left behind them in England—even if Lord STANLEY It-111 --k , ,perf ori .„ ol should happen to have taken to it—such an unworthy and unstatesnanlike qualification. Intelligence has been received at Liverpool from Monte Video to the loth vt- Jul.,. It npr.aiwc, freln this hat stn ultimatum had been sent in on the previous day t demanding a categorical answer in 72 hours. On the after noon of the 10th this was confirmed to the British merchants by Mr. TURNER, the British Charge d'Affaires, who read to the Chairman of their Committee a dispatch from Mr. OUSELEY, dated the 9th of July, to the effect that "the Baron DEFFAUDIS and Mr. OUSELEY had finally demanded the withdrawal of the Argentine troops from before Monte Video, and the retirement of the Argentine squadron ;" that they also offered their mediation to the Monte Videan Government for the purpose of arranging a definitive peace between the two republics. The result remains to be seen, but it is not likely that ROSAS will continue to brave the power of England and France. 4S TITI ------- ---- ADDrPh_itrh'RTIET'S,,ItOVAL A.MPIIITHFATRE OF ARTS. tifi n ' n44t ion , -—' AND MANAGER, MR.

By the arrival of the packet-ship Henry, we have ac counts from New York to the 6th inst. There is a good deal of discusssion, mixed with a little boasting, in the papers about a war with Mexico, and preparations are in progress for the anticipated contest. A call has been made on the Governor of Florida to furnish 800 men to go to Texas. The New Orleans papers give detailed accounts of the movements of the military in and for Texas, from which it appears that troops are fast gathering in that country for the purpose of opposing the Mexicans, and according to accounts from Vera Cruz, the Mexican troops, amounting to between 10,000 and 15,000 men, including a large p-oportion of cavalry, had received orders to march to the Texan frontier, and take their position ten leagues east, or on the Texan bank of the Rio del Norte. The domestic intelligence in the American papers is without much interest. The Caledonia steamer, which reached New York on the 4th inst., had brought out large orders for flour and corn. The cotton market was firm, with prices a shade higher, and the exchange on England at 9% to 10. 1)411OOR'S ROYAL SURREY THEATRE.

According to most of them the most probable result will be the marriage of her MAJESTY with Prince FERDI NAND of Saxe Coburg, and that of the Infanta LOUISA with the Duke DE Mo:rr PENSIER. The former is not a matter of very great importance, for from all accounts the QUEEN is of a very weakly constitution, but the other, should the report be well founded, will cause no little ex citement throughout Europe. It is one of Louts PriturrE's darling objects, and he seldom fails. The Castellano, Herald°, and some other journals, urge no objection against the mar riage, in fact advert to it with satisfaction ; and, probably, for a " sufficient reason." It would be difficult, however, to reconcile Austria, Russia, and Prussia, not to mention Great Britain, to such an alliance. On the 19th no business was done publicly on the Bourse, which is thus adverted to in a letter from Madrid : " The state of our Bourse is certainly curious ; but it does not a^pear to be well understood in foreign countries. As the official list contains no quotations, it is supposed that no business is done, and that our Funds have fallen to the ♦ery lowest point of degradation. This is quite a mistake ; it is true that the Bourse of Madrid is ex ceedingly paralysed, but it is not exact that no operations take place. Business is done, but the account of it is not published." The Paris journals announce the return of another Con servative candidate to the Chamber of Deputies, M. DE BELLEYME, by the electoral college of Vendome. There were four "candidates in the field—two Conservatives, one belonging to the Left, and the fourth a Legitimatist. At the first scrutiny the two former, namely, M. DE BELLEYM had and M. D GNES, were highest on the poll, but as neither an absolute majority, a second contest took place, when M. DE BELLEYME was returned by a majority isf 42, the numbers being respectively 286 and 244. The other candidates were in miserable minorities, to the great mortification of the Opposition journals. The Journal des Debats contains an article ont i lf o,B epa o te i st of the Irish Catholic prelates against the Acadenie which it states that the new institutionwill, in all pr a obtil t it o y f triumph over the hostility of Mr. O'CoNNEt i l. and the bishops, and this pro . te . st i w w il o l i s e e h n p -e te n v o ai o la t o e: en pu a rr o s n P e li th t a h n e to bring to light the division kid 10 some ecrres -_____-.........._____ chiefs of the Irish Church.

They also unani mously declared that, while exacting every guarantee for the rights of the confessional, and the free exercise of their own wor ship, they would not in any wise infringe on the rights of the Pro testants.' "On Wednesday, about two o'clock, Antoine, the man who mur dered Lieutenant Aubree, was seen, by a corporal of the same re giment, crossing the Place d'Armes at Versailles. The alarm was given, and he was immediately pursued, but before hands could be laid on him, he took a pistol from his pocket and blew his brains out.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Satlrday Evening.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 to 5,000 bales, all to the trade. There was no change in prices, There was a good market for Railway Shares, and Scrips were higher. In the Bank Returns, which were offieially gazetted last evening, there appears to be but little alteration in the aggre gate amount of the issues. The return of the Bank of Eng land, it is true, gives the whole business transactions now at 35,552,905[., an increase of 7%9 at this period of the quarter, might be fait, f c....c.Aated upon, and for these reasons : The public deposits were, by the last return, 7,319,6124 now they are B , 222 , l o9l.—increase, 902,4901. The other deposits have declined a little, but there is an increase in the seven day and other bills, as well as in what are called " other securities," which last time w ere 12,391,1881. and n ow are 13,297,048/. The "rest" shows a small but still a gradual in crease. It is now 3,616,6854 and last time was 3,611,164/ The proprietors grumbled very much indeed when s ome time since the balance of undivided profits were under 3,000,0004 and bad management was then pretty freely charged as against the directors. Now that things have taken a different turn, and the " rest" is augmented to 3,616,685'., there arebut few connected with the corporation who do not award a meed of praise to the managers of the Bank. The variation in the amount of promissory notes issued in the four weeks ending on the 13th inst., is too trifling for special notice, as respects the issuing establishme] its of Scotland and Ireland. The whole amount is now 9,601,252/. ; last time it was 9 , 6 62,4l4L—decrease 61,162/. There are late: a d v i ses f rom Buenos Ayres and New York, but the details, which are of some interest, apper r in another column. • The British Securities continue to be rather heavy. Con sols for the Account are quoted at 98% and for ?Loney the same. Excheq uer -bill s are steady. Bank Stock is at 212% for the Account.

The only quotations in the Foreign F un d s h ave b een to day in Spanish Passives at 6% ;in the Dutch Two-tin , d-a- Half per Cents at 60% ; an d in the Four per Cents. at 97%. There has been a considerable amount of business tran sacted in the Railway Shares to-day, and very gener2ll . ,v at advanced prices: There is a very good demand for tht East India Railway at a steady advance in the quotations. The near approach of the settlement in the Share Market tends to check business of a fresh charaeter. Altogether the market for Railway Shares is extremely good.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.---We perceive by an address, published in another column, that Mr. Alderman Wood, the senior alderman in rotation, will be at his post this day, to solicit the suffrages of his fellow-citizens for the high and important office of Lord Mayor of the City of Lon don. That he will be returned by the Livery to the Court of Aldermen by a triumphant majority, as he always has been, there can be no doubt; and we are at a loss to conceive what reason the Court of Aldermen can give for rejecting him. We shall, doubtless, be told of his connexion with the Talacre Company, and the dangerof disgrace to the City from the fact of one whose liabilities, as connected with that Company, are so great occupying the Civic chair. This argument has been used with powerful effect on former occasions. It is, however, now perfectly inapplicable. We have reason to know that Mr. Alderman Wood has discharged every liabi lity to which he was subjected in consequence of his con nexion with the Talacre Company; that he has a legal dis charge from every creditor of that Company who had any legal claim upon him ; and that Sir Peter Laurie himself is in quite as much danger from the creditors of the Talacre Coal Company as Mr. Alderman Wood. Is it because he embarked in that speculation that he is to be considered as an improper person to hold the highest civic office? Let the other " most potent, grave, and reverend seignors" of the Court of Aldermen beware ! How many of them hold shares in various joint-stock companies at the present moment ? Do they consider themselves disqualified thereby; or is it only when shares are at adiscount that the holder of them is " not to be endured ?" We are obliged to make these " guesses" in the dark at the cause of the pertinacious rejec tion, by the Court of Aldermen, of the claims of Mr. Alder man Wood, because, although his opponents have dealt freely in insinuations and inuendoes, they have been very chary in making disticct charges. Whenever they have ventured to do so those charges have been invariably met and refuted. By his legal acquirements Alderman Wood is exactly suited for the of f ice of Chief Magistrate of the City of Lon 4Pitpaliitpat pr2bably the V. of e n aC r c h oiirt lt i le fo e r " tiiu t Z lifeWouldleulp down Gibbs, PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS.

On the following day, the suuperintendent having received a reinforcement of men, he ejected about fifty families from their dwellings, amidst the shouts and menaces of the miners, who occa sionally assailed the police with a shower of stones. Inspector Hall, however, exercised the utmost forbearance, and fre quently warned the people to desist; and, on returning from the village, although followed and hooted, and pelted with stones, he prudently withdrew his men, in excellent order, to a distance, until the mob dispersed. The strike still continues.— Tyne Mercury. WORTHY OF IMITATION.—The Earl of Falmouth, wishining to encourage upon his Cornish estates a more general cultivation of green crops in connexion with an im proved system of cropping, has offered for the farms which have been best cultivated and cropped handsome premiums, in proportion to the number of acres which the terms may consist, beginning with farms exceeding 200 acres, and ending with cottage tenements containing not more than 25 acres. The crops which must have been grown in succession are-1. Wheat, or other grain suited to the soil. 2. Turnips, mangel-wurtzel, and other roots. 3. Barley or oats. 4. Grasses. 5. Grasses. Tenants have the option of growing a crop of rape (for consumption by sheep upon the land) in the sixth year before wheat. It is proposed to inspect the farms of the competitors in the months of July and August, and to award the premiums in the month of October follow ing.— West Briton.

CARRIER PIGEON EXPRESSES —On Sunday after noon last, Mr. Davies, one of the ushers at Lambeth Police court, while in his garden at Camberwell, observed a pigeon at a considerable height hovering about and flying to and fro, as if at a loss to find its way. The bird was at such an altitude at the time that he thought it almost impossible to bring it down. He, however, fired at it from a powerful gun, and in an instant it fell close to his feet. Upon examining the bird, which is one of what is commonly called the skinner kind, he found a neatly cut slip of parchment tied to its leg, on one side of which - there were W. P. H._ 4, and on the other C. N. 1-5, which, there is very little doubt, was in tended to convey some information for stock-jobbing or rail way share speculators.—Post.

Worthless, West Countryman, and several horses from Good wood were expected on Saturday afternoon. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) The Doncaster meeting can hardly be said to have been a successful one. The fields, except in the Two-Years-old Stakes being miserably small, and the attendance of those county families, who used to be present in such numbers in the days of Lord Fitzwilliam, Mr. Beaumont, and the Duke of Devonshire, induced us to reflect that the nefarious doings which had disgraced this meeting of late years had prevented them from gracing the course with their presence. The Man chester and Sheffield division came out in great force, but the betting was not carried on in the large sums I have witnessed before. The charges, as usual, were dreadful. Talk of those of the British Grenadier;—why they are nothing to the Doncaster lodging-house keepers! It is unaccountable how racing men are preyed upon, and hew tamely they submit to it. It has often struck me that if a man who had been im posed upon in the manner frequently practised at Doncaster and Chichester, was to keep the bill he paid, and advertise it, with the address of the person who sent it to him, in the Racing Calendar and Bell's Life, and also stick it up in the Subscription-room a week before the meeting, he would be doing an act of great kindness to his fellow-men, who would avoid the house so taboed, as a pestilence or a man with the itch. And now to business :—The Fitzwilliam was a mere canter for Trueboy. In the match that followed, and which was la_•gely speculated upon, Semisaria—though in her old form as to condition, was in her old temper—would not run a yard, and was easily defeated by a length. The Champagne brought an excellent field to the post, and although my selection, Malcolm (backed at evens against the lot) was coughing, he yet ran very respectably; my other fancy, Princess Alice, finished in front of them. The Traverser is a colt that will be heard of again, and the Squire's Stockport filly pleased me much. Bill Scott's re appearance in the saddle was hailed with great satisfaction by his friends. The race for her Majesty's Plate, between the Shadow and Jinglepot, was won with great ease by tie mare, who ap pears to be farming these plates a la Alice Hawthorn. In the Cleveland Handicap I was again fortunate enough to name the winner, Godfrey, pulling through as he did at York. Lc,rd George Bentinck's Ennui cut down Tom Tillloch for thz rich 500 sovs. stakes without the slightest troali - Le. WEDNESDAY.—The day big with the fate of Weatherbit and Miss Sarah, drew together one of the largest concourses of persons ever seen on the Heath. Weatherbit was backed at all sorts of prices. In appearance no horse could look better, but, as I wrote, I thought he never would recover his Good wood dressing. His running was exactly what his enemies, who were as thick " as leaves in Vallambrosas Vale," pre dicted, and his succumbing afterwards to Chertsey proved him even worse than I conjectured he was. Old England's withdrawal caused a great deal of dissatisfaction, for looking at his running atAscot with Pantasa, he could not well have lost. The money got out of Old England by the party will go far to satisfy their losses on Weatherbit. Mentor was coughing, so his running cannot be taken as true. The Baron, who I thought would attain about the third place in the race, owed his victory to the manner in which John Scott brought him to the post, and the judgment with which he was ridden, by which all the good qualities he possessed were made use of, instead of being destroyed, as was the case at Liverpool. Little money has been won by anybody, the stable, though thinking him a dangerous horse, did not imagine he was good enough to win. Miss Sarah's per formance Was an excellent one, and her friends were cer tainly justified in backing her. I believe she had the speed of the Baron at the last. The other races on the list were not run off. THURSDAY.—After the settling, which was only a partial one, we had four races run, all of them interesting to pro fessionals and amateurs. In the first, Comrade beat Mid lothian and Annandale by a head, chiefly owing, I suspect, to his being fresher than the gelding, who may be said to be nearly "used up" by this time. We had a field of eleven at the post for the Great York shire Handicap, and a most interesting race it furnished, My Mary (my second choice), beating Glossy (my selection) by a length. In the Innkeepers' Plate, Semiseria, being for once in a good humour, actually won a very fast run race. Like the boy that cried " wolf," she was not trusted at last. The Park Hill was a mere canter for Miss Sarah. The Two-Year-old Stakes again brought a numerous field of young ones before the public. Princesss Alice and the Pen colt were beaten off, so the severity of the pace may be guessed. The finish of the two leaders was most exciting, and showed the strength of Dawson's stable this year. Malt's form was a marked improvement from what it had been. In the Gascoyne, Mentor's defeat was entirely owing to Nat, and not to Pam. In the Cup, Sweetmeat, in her Ascot manner, disposed of Alice and her companions with little trouble. The Autumn season at Newmarket commences on Tues day with rather a slender list. After the usual Trial Stakes and T.Y.C. Sweepstakes, we have the 800sovs.Buckenham Stakes, to which Lord Exeter, Colonel Peel, and Mr. Wreford have each set down their horses, with the understanding that they are to bring one of those three to the post. Of Lord Exeter's lot I should pre fer most the Lucetta colt. Of Colonel Peel's three, Queen Anne, from the manner in which she won the July Stakes, and cf Mr. Wreford's contributions I should think he would send the West Countryman, and out of the three to which I reduced the field, Nat, I think, upon Queen Anne, will be declared the winner. To the Grand Duke Michael Stakes, always a race of interest, there are 18 subscribers, but I doubt if we shall see half that number of horses at the post; Ides, in all probability will meet his old opponent Wood Pigeon, and receive at his hands the same beating he had at Ascot; and if Lord Ex etcr's colt can beat Pug, I think the race must be awarded But as the latter receives 41b., she will be just able to beat him. In the Hopeful, which follows, I think the gar of .the '~~ (!/ L 14**+ Goodwood stable will still be found in the ascendant, and that the Duke of Richmond's Cuckoo will maintain her honours. I prefer Cuckoo especially for this race, as she is just bred for it, her clam having won it before. One of Lord George's will, no doubt, secure second place. In the match between Prologue and Colling - wood, P. lean to the former. On Wednesday, after the usual four sweepstakes, we have the St. Leger, with only seven animals named for it. Alarm will I hear, make his re-appearance for this stake, and al though I have no doubt he will run forward, still I do not think he will be able to beat Refraction, the more so, as he gives her 31b. Old Garry Owen (Bst. 61b.) will then give Arcanus (6st. 131 b.) the go-by, without much alarm to his backers. In the Rutland, I shall be much disappointed if Tugnet does not prove the winner. In the 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes, I prefer most Paultons. The match between Captain Phoebus and Collingwood will be won, I should imagine, by the former. TELEGRAPH. CRICKET. EIGHT GENTLEMEN OF SURREY WITH THREE PLAYERS v. THE MITCHAM CLUB. It has seldom been our lot to witness a match'of which the interest has gone on increasing, as in this case, from the first, till at its close it had become " intense." That such was the case in this match will be readily conceived, when it is stated that the three last wickets had, we think, nine runs only to get. These batsmen then played with vast care, and ran several runs where the ball had been placed just in the mid dle of the play between the wickets, and at length two only were required to make a " tie" game. It chanced that young Sherman hit a ball for two,..and off they set, and, as was supposed, accomplished the feat ; but it is somewhat difficult to describe the disappoiri(ment which was depicted on the countenances of the supporters of Mitcham upon one of the umpires calling .out .0 one short," for then a run was still required to place them on a par with their opponents. The next ball took Mr. Iloare's wicket, and thus they lost the match by one run. The score stood thus : SURREY. „ • . Brockwell, bA. Chadbaud ... Paul, b ditto C.

It was with the greatest satisfaction that we learnt of the . renewal for the rest of the present and the whole of the en suing year, of the convention between the banks and mer chants to receive the Sicilian dollar at 4s. 2d., and also the Maria Theresa dollar at the same rate, and the Spanish dollar at 43. 4d. We bail this measure as an example of uniformity of action between the British and native merchants, which we trust will be followed in future on all similar occasions, whence no little good must result to this community. We hail it as a proof that the bank committees know far better what is bene ficial to these inhabitants, even in regard to so extended, complicated, and widely-ramified a subject as that of the currency of the island, than my Lord Stanley with all his under-secretaries. We had it as a legal act of self-defence against a Ministerial act of spoliation, adopted in a manner to convince the Minister that there are men in this colony, as well as at home, who have the courage constitutionally to resist acts of robbery which at home would not be suffered for a moment. But above all do we hail it as a conclusive proof that this island can never be well governed until it enjoys a real Council of Government, effectively representing tine in habitants, and actuated by a sense of what the public good requires. Neither would such a council be wanting here for any length of time, were the English to join with the Maltese in endeavouring to obtain it ; for a greater anomaly does not exist on earth than that the British subject on his arrival at Malta should possess fewer of the rights his birth entitles him to than he does even in a province of Turkey. But, returning to our subject, some of our contemporaries are advocating, as a standard of currency, the coinage of a colonial dollar. The idea is singularly absurd! If the pro- I posed dollar were to be of standard silver passing at ILS intrinsic value, it would immediately disappear from circ,i lation. Every dormant capital would be replaced by it; or t of Malta it would be everywhere saleable; it would get d's persed in other countries where it was not current, and where, there being no incitement to send it back again to Malta, it would infallibly get melted down, and converted into the ordinary uses of bullion. If, on the contrary, such dollar were to be of an intrinsic value sufficiently less than its nominal one to keep it in the island, we should then find ourselves where we are at present with the British silver, obliged to D. , . +" mesn i ci mimc f er qve Al* we wont -f t .:±l2v2l,.BgAu - tu which vro pay for them, for surely no one would sell us dollars for less than what it would cost him to replace them. This in sub stance would be taxing Malta in favour of the mother country, as is attempted to be done at present. For the alloy of the coin would be gained by England, and lost by us in purchasing dollies for, or in paying for, articles from abroad—in which operations we could only pass them at their real value, against the foreign coin or the goods repre senting foreign coin at a nominal one. To the extent of tit!, loss everything would rise in price, and this would be equi valent to having a cut rency at a discount, or in all operations except between the people and the Government; or, in other words, it would be having a local standard of currency men mired by a foreign standard, so that the real standard after all would be the foreign coin, or articles imported represent ing it, and with the additional disadvantage, that the foreign coin not being current in the island, there would not be, as my Lord Stanley calls it, free access to it at all times, and therefore we should have to pay something more for it, for no one would keep it on hand for us without at least getting interest on his money. We pity the want of intellect of any one who cannot understand the absolute necessity in a place which is all the year round purchasing articles for cash from neighbouring States, of having a coin that is current in these States. But, above all, what a precious currency would be that e., the colonial dollar) which could neither be expanded nor contracted—to which no addition could be made when a want of circulating medium was experienced, and which had no outlet when too abundant ? We should wish our contem poraries to tell us•what amount of colonial coinage they would recommend to be put into circulation, stating to us the data on which that amount is calculated. To do this, however, we apprehend that they would have to go into a sea of ave rages and statistics. with which they have never troubled their heads, and which would only end in showing the ab surdity of the idea of a colonial coinage. A currency without elasticity is hardly any currency at all. It cannot meet the varying wants of the community. The elasticity of a currency is produced, generally, by the representatives of value being common to all countries, so that supplies can be had from abroad and locally by banks and capitalists. This elasticity can never be wanting where the standard is gold at the generally established rates in bul lion markets. In Malta, it is insured by the currency in the island of certain foreign silver coins. To tie Malta down to a certain amount of a local currency, would be like setting a man to run a race in a suit of armour. We do not think it necessary to follow the subject though its other ramifications, in order to show that a local coin cannot possibly meet the wants of the island. The following is the new convention between the banks and the mercantile classes : " THE NEW MONETARY CONVENTION OF THE BANKS AND MERCHANTS, &C., OF MALTA. _ _ " We, the undersigned, presidents, directors, and share holders, of the Anglo-Maltese and Malta Banks, and others, merchants and traders, in this island, feeling the inconve nience which arises to commerce from the legal valuation of the Spanish and Sicilian dollar established by the proclama tions of the 18th of July, 1844, and 16th of July, 1845, whilst British silver money continues an unlimited legal tender (although, as compared with the legal valuation of the sa'd coins, it is of 10 per cent. inferior worth), have resolved continue the agreement of the 4th of March last, reciprocally to receive the said Sicilian dollar at 4s. 2d. each, or 30 sari of Malta currency, and to extend the same, to receive reci procally the Spanish pillar dollar at 4s. 4d., or 31 tali and 4 grains each, and the Maria Theresa dollar at 48. 2d., or 30 tali each. This agreement to hold good until the 31st December, 1846, unless the British or local Government should, by an authentic and legal act, ordain that no one shall be compelled to receive, in any one payment, more than 40s. of British silver, in which case the present agreement shall be considered cancelled and of no effect at the expira tion of thirty days from the date of such authentic act of Government. " And it is further understood, that unless this imeemer be signed by the majority of the shareholders of the two banks, and by the majority of those who signed the agree ment of the 4th March last, it shall not be binding on the undersigned.

On Thursday there was a splendid show of cattle, but few or no purchasers, although the prices were very low. Yesterday, which was the " pleasure-day," the fair was crowded, and proved very lucrative to all who em barked in the speculation. On that occasion was presented everything calculated to please the taste of those who pa tronised the fair, which was studded with booths filled with actors, wonderful exhibitions, wild beasts, and-pugilists. Be sides which, there were innumerable tents supplied with sub stantives in the shape of eating and drinking. Amongst the varied attractions, gingerbread stalls held a most prominent and alluring position, and so numerous were they, that many vendors of gingerbread kings and queens and other great per sonages were compelled to go away without being enabled to obtain a bite for their migratory establishments. On the whole, the fair proved equally profitable to the lessors and. lessees of the ground. e,-,( ~r • - S _ k ';;!, \...__i _.- idaao STATISTICS OF THE ORDER OF THE JESUITS. There has appeared at Leipsic (says the Constitution nel) a very interesting work on " the actual organise tiou of the Compa n y o f Jesus." The information which it discloses (founded upon documents, says the writer, which have been obtained for the major part at the price of considerable sacrifices, which he was obliged to make in order to secure their authenticity), upon the position of the Jesuits in various parts of the world, has never before been published in so complete a form. The diffe rent establishments of the order are variously called. There are the Houses of Profession, which possess no property, and in which the father Jesuits—the professed of the order, live in common. The Residences are esta blishments of less importance, and have the right of possessing property. The Houses, properly so called, are embryo establishments in countries where the Com pany has tried to penetrate. The missions are formed by isolated Jesuits, who feel their way. A mission be comes by degrees, by the adjunction of new members, a college, or a nursery, for the Company, or a home of probation, or a residence. The seminaries are the spe cial establishments in which the Society gives its theo logical instruction. The members may be divided into three great classes :-Ist, the Priests, amongst whom are all the professed ; 2d, the Scholars and the Novices ; and 3d, the Brothers occupied in domestic services and with the material cares of the establishments. In 1626, eighty-six years after the foundation, and under its sixth General, Mutius Vitelleschi, the Company reckoned 29 provinces in Europe, viz., 4 in Italy, 2 in Sicily, 1 in Sardinia, 5 in Spain, 5 in France, 3 in Belgium, 1 in Scotland, 1 in Ireland, 5 in Germany, and 2 in Poland Out of Europe it had established 5 residences in the Turkish dominions, 2 provinces in the East Indies, lin the Philippines, 1 in China, 1 in Japan, and sin America. These provinces contained 803 esta blishments, thus classed :-26 houses of profession, 222 residences, 51 places of probation, 48 seminaries, 542 colleges, and 71 missions. The monopoly of teaching was then almost everywhere in their hands by means of the colleges. They had 108 colleges in Spain, 79 in France, 91 in Germany, 36 in Belgium, and 29 in Po land. The number of members of the Company was 15,493, of whom 13,369 were in the provinces of Europe. The order continued from year to year to progress. In 1749, they had 89 houses of profession, 669 colleges, 61 places of probation, 176 seminaries, 335 residences, 0 73 missions. The personnel amounted to 22,589 members, of whom 11,239 were priests. The documents relative to the following years are not so complete. On the sup pression of the order by Pope Clement XIV., in 1773, most of those papers were destroyed. Notwithstanding the Papal ball, the Society continued to exist openly in Russia. The chiefs, in the interval. and until 1805, when the order was re-established by a bull of Pope Pius VII., assumed (instead of the name " General ' ) the title of " Vicars-General in White Russia." It is now forty years since the Company has been re-consti tuted in an official manner. Its progress was at first slow and concealed. Towards the end of the Restora tion (of the elder Boarbons) the order was beginning to raise its head and to assume the boldest attitudes ; but the revolution of 1830 arrested it in its progress. It dis appeared again, waiting till the storm should pass away. It soon resumed its confidence, and it now openly pro- Claims its intention to reassume all the influence which it possessed in the days of its splendour. The check which the popular will, energetically expressed, has just made it undergo in France, will not discourage it, or cause it to relinquish its projects. The struggle will continue under another form. In and out of Europe the Society of Jesus actually possesses fourteen provinces—those of Rome, Sicily, Naples, Spain, :Oasis, Lyons, Belgium, England, Austria, Ger many, Ireland, Maryland, and Missouri. The order reckoned in these provinces, on the first of January, 1838, 173 establishments, and 3,067 members ; on the Ist of January, 1841, 211 establishments, and 3,565 members ; on the Ist of January, 1844, 233 establish ments, and 4,133 members. Thus in the space of six years there has been an increase of sixty establishments and 1,066 members. In 1844 the increase was still more rapid. In the seven provinces of Rome, Sicily, Turin, Paris, Iltons, and Belgium, the oily ones con cerning which the of accounts has reached Rome, the order had an accessi( n from the Ist of January, 1844, to the 1s„ of January, 1845, of 394 new members. Indeed the reception of new members had become so numerous, that Father Rothaan, the General of the Order, has deemed it necessary, in a circular to the provincials, dated March, 1844, to point out the dangers of so rapid an increase. The province of Rome reckoned, on the Ist January, 1845, 702 Jesuits. It is at Rome that the General of the Order resides, and in that city are con centrated the principal establishments. The Company has there its more important house of profession, and a college specially destined to form priests for Germany. It has besides, at Rome, a college and a residence; a place of probation, properly so called; a place of proba tion of the third degree; a school for noble boarders; and a seminary where missionaries are brought up for the Society of the Propagation of the Faith. The other establishments of the province of Rome are generally colleges, by means of which the Jesuits have the complete control of the education of the youths. In the province of Sicily the order is most flourishing, as also in those of Naples and Turin. In the province of Spain its estab lishments have been disorganised by the political events ei,Jaenary, )844, I lneit - vr..r.:-.:t-b.beibriatre-. On the some of - the large towns of Spain: Where revs _' 90 Jesuits belonging to the sanatiprovince, bat they had retired -into -other countries. -This province pos sesses a college and residence at Nivelles, in Bel gium, and a residence at Aire, in France. This province has, in South America, residences in Paraguay, Uruguay, La Plata, the Brazils, New Granada, and Chili. The province of Paris consists of Paris and of the North of France. On the Ist of Janu ary, 1441, this province contained 291 Jesuits, and on the Ist of January, 1845, 420 Jesuits. It had residences and seminaries at Paris, St. Acheul, Strasburg, Nantes, and many other cities and towns. As the colleges are not open to them in France, they found one at the very entrance of the kingdom, viz., at Brugelette, in Belgium, and it depends on the province of France. This province has besides missionaries in Canada and China, and two establishments in North America. The province of Lyons comprises the South of France. It contained 290 Jesuits in 1841, and 446 on the Ist of January, 1845. There were residences, &c., at Lyons, Aix Bordeaux, and the principal towns of the South. This province had also Jesuits in Algeria, and missionaries in the East Indies, in the Island of Madura, on the north-east of Java, in Syria, and in Ma dagascar. The province of Belgium 'is one of the most flourishing at this moment. There were 319 Jesuits in 1841, and 472 in 1845. They have colleges at Alort, Antwerp, Gand, Brussels, &c. &c., besides residences. This province has missions in Holland, and also in Gua timala (recently suppressed). The province of England comprised 140 Jesuits in 1841, and 164 in 1844. They have I:eia 33 establishments, viz., houses, colleges, resi dence. or else simple missions. They venture to show them selves less openly in England than in other countries. The colleges take here the names, not of the towns, but of saints, such as St. Ignatius, St. Thomas of Canterbury, &c. &c. Their principal establishment in the college and seminary of Stonyhurst, in Yorkshire, where there are 20 priests, 26 novices, and 14 brothers. The province of England has twenty missionaries at Calcutta. The English Government protects them as well as the Pro testant missionaries, when they are able to serve its mer cantile views in that part of the world, and at this mo ment it is helping them to found a new college, specially destined for China. The province of Austria had 268 Jesuits in 1841, and 310 in 1844. It has col leges in various cities. The province of Germany chiefly consists of Switzerland. There were several Jesuits in 1841 in Bavaria. At Dresden, the con fessor of the late king was a Jesuit. The Company of Jesuits is waiting for the time when it may under take the re-conquest of Germany, and it exercises mean while its influence in that country by means of the German college established at Rome, for forming secular priests to be spread throughout Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland. Between 1822 and 1842, 125 of these priests have been sent into Germany, and 64 into Swit zerland. The vice-province of Ireland reckoned 63 -Jesuits in 1841, and 73 in 1844. They have in Ireland three colleges. The provinoe of Maryland comprises establishments in Colombia, Maryland, Massachussets, and Pennsylvania. The numbers were 109 in 1841, and 121 in 1844. The vice-province of Missouri comprises the establishments of Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, the Rocky Mountains, and the neighbouring country. It possesses the colleges of St. Louis, St. Charles, tiro. The mission in the Rocky Mountains consists of llve priests and six brothers. Total number in 4iisprovi t r is 24 in 1841, and 139 in 1844. Such is th e positio n of Society throughout the world. The account of P R IN C E ALBERT'S GAM EKE $1' . SE gr eatly exaggerated. Th e magistratejen at Maidenhead, in the t ca h s e e p o ro f c T eed ho i m ogs as b rr e op for p, e . tte to be a very arm ess puppy, about three woma n, turns out "bloodhound" that he is reporteg to l have set upon the poor mon ths old. B u t even under these circumstances, every e reparation has been made to the complainant, and possible Albert, on learning the occurrence, gave orders th a t Topp should be dis missed from his service. STATE Or TRADE.—The demand for this past week has been tolerably good. There is an increased de mend for under-clothing, as lambs'-wool shirts, drawers, &c., as well as for lambs'-wool h ose . W oo l s an d yarns are firm ; lambs'. wool yarn scarce and dear. There is every prospect of a continuance of the present demand for some time to come. The improved condition of the working classes (in consequence of the low price of food) has induced an increased consumption of the better styles of womena'- blacks and other goods, so that there is a far less demand for straight down hose and inferior styles, and a far greater de mand for country w roug ht h ose . This is an interesting evi dence of the improved condition of the working-classes.-- Leicestershire Mercury. LEWES, SEPT. 25.—An alarm was occasioned in the town last night (Wednesday), about eight o'clock, by the servant of the Hon. General Trevor, riding post haste up the High-street, and shouting " Fire, Fire." It appeared that he had been dispatched to procure the borough engine in consequence of a fire having been discovered in a barn and out-buildings belonging to the general, and in the occupa tion of Mr. John Ellman. The high estimation in which both these gentlemen are held induced hundreds of persons to repair instantly to Glynde to render assistance, and they were quickly followed by the engine. On their arrival, however, great difficulty was found in obtaining water, the scene of the fire being some distance from the village; and we regret to state that a large barn, containing 20 loads of new wheat, with stables and other buildings and four stacks of hay, were entirely consumed. We hear that the whole was insured. It is conjectured that the fire was occasioned by a spark falling from the pipe of one of the labourers who had been smoking on the premses.—Brighton Herak ~~'~' /z
