Early in this month will be published, what every impartial in dividual will admit is much wanted in the Irish Metropolis, a really Honest, Able, and LIBERAL WEEKLY JOUR- N 4L, which it has been determined shall be called H E W 0 R L D. Now that we have sat down to draw up our Prospectus, we do solemnly protest that we would have given a considerable sum could we, by any means, have induced Lord Brougham sod Viscount Palmerston to perform the duty for us, by way of proxy. The one would have described all that " THE WORLD" ought and will be, a thousand times better than we can ever hope to do ; while the other would have en shrouded all our errors and weaknesses in so murky a mantle of mystification, that they would have escaped the " audax et vigilans7 scrutiny of the keenest customer in the New Police. Failing in our attempt either to enlist the ex-Chancellor, who was in hot haste to meet the hero of Waterloo at Dover, or the Prince of Protocols, who assured us that " he had not a paragraph in him," the last having been expended to complete the piscatory portion of the Queen's Speech, we had some notion of applying to Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer, but feared he would be too Whiggish and classical. Then we turned our eyes to Eaton-seuare, and thought of placing ourselves under an obligation to Sir William Molesworth, buy changed our mind, lest his Durham politics should creep through a transparent veil of Radicalism. Tom Wyse we were half in clined to solicit, but he wouldhave been rather heavy, and had enough to do in Waterford. Richard Shell bad the next place in our consideratioa, bat his style would have been too spark ling and light for us; and, moreover, we knew that ha was busied not only in preparing a patriotic address to the electors of Tipperary, buy also in obtaining some knowledge of the tallow and molasses trade 'out of M'Culloch's " Commercial Dictionary." Having at length seen that we must ourselves put on our apron, and take up our tools, for the due execution of the un dertaking, we were fairly bothered deciding whether the affair should be extremely long and dull, or uncommonly short and merry. Conscience whispered that we should speak the truth, but we remembered that the philosopher of Malmesbury has denounced all truth-telling public writers as dangerous to the safety of a corrupt and tyrannical commonwealth, an,l has re commended that both them and their lucubrations should be bundled off to some comfortable and hospitable country, like Australia or New Zealand. Our disposition and interest prompted ns to treat a grave matter with becoming serious ness ; but then the advice of Pliny flashed upon our memory, (Ut in vita sic in studiis pulcherrimum, &c.) where he recom- . mends us to mingle mirth and gravity in our studies. We feared to be vivacious and pointed, lest we should be condemned as frivolous and slanderous, and suffer that public displeasure which has ever been visited upon unhappy authors since the time that the Athenians burned the books of Protagoras, and the Romans hunted Diogenes and his companions out k city, for telling more than they wished to hear. " Human Natur," as Dick Stapleton phrases it, would have inclined us to be a little vain, thereby following the counsel of Lord Bacon, who informs us that " the fame of Seneca and Cicero was kept fresh by their boasting, which seems to be like varnish, that not only makes wood shine, but last ; but we drew ourselves up, and, upon reflection, decreed that self-praise, so far as we were concerned, should be monopolized by the com pounders of Morison's Pills, and Holloway's Poor Man's Oint ment. Here, then, we were at a dead-lock, and seizing our pen, first wrote a furious letter to Dr. Dionysius Lariiner, com plaining that science had not yet discovered some piece of me chanism that might manufacture Prospectuses of all sorts and sizes by steam—then set about inditing one after the good old fashioned plan. The Amphitryon thinks the choicest blessing of life a re cherche repast ; the exquisite prizes above all things a well-cut coat, or an unobjectionable cigar ; the Ennuyee pants for the last new novel, or the opera ; the Rational Man al me loves an honest and clever newspaper. But where is he to find it? Most assuredly not among the Liberal Journals of Dublin ; for we, not long ago, went over the catalogue of the Liberal Me tropolitan prints with the talented Mr. George Robins, who confessed, with a yawn and a sigh, that beginning with the oldest, and leaving off with the youngest.—" the chief of the Irish Press," (a tribute, by the wav paid to our own humble exertions by the honest Sheffield Iris)---" he never bad the misfortune to have submitted to his inspection so bad a lot, or one which would furnish such scanty materials for the puff ex traordinary." Spenser tells us that the Dublin Liberal News papers, or " carryers of newes," in his time were " fooles and notable rogues." Tom Moore, if we are to believe Willis, has described the present generation as downright blockheads; while Mr. O'Connell, by way of driving home the nail, designatesthe whole concern " A PALTRY PRESS." These be hard lines, as the sailors say, but " non noster hie sermo." _ . will now, we imagine, be admitted that something i the shape of an able and honest Journal is required to " stop the gap." To put such an intellectual vehicle upon the road, we think, would be considered Quixotic, even by so speculative and excellent a judge of such matters as Mr. Peter Purcell. " A Party is necessary," exclaim the Tory parson, and the Liberal placehunter, "or else you will reckon but few readers." Upon this point we join issue, and hope, for the honour of civilized humanity, that as the Irish public maintain a sufficiedt number of newspapers to tell them falsehood, they will vouchsafe to sup port one which, at all risks, is determined to announce to them the truth. " All that mortal art bath wrought, In our cell returns to nought ; The molten gold returns to play, The polish'd diamond melts away. All is altered, all is flown— Nought stands fast but truth alone." In Politics we all be Radicals, and devoted to the People, utterly regardless of the smiles or frowns of the select and interested few. Such a course, we know, is always perilous and often profitless— " Hard is his task who edits—thankless job— A weekly journal for the factious mob ; Alike undone, or if he praise or rail ; For this affects his safety, that his sale He sinks, at last, in luckless limbo set— If loud, for libel—and if dumb, for debt." We sha always be happy, when we can agree with those men who, newever they may sometimes err, have rendered efficient service, and made many sacrifices for the cause of liberty; but iv shall not advocate that wait-a-while policy which holds out 7romises to suffering millions which are never likely to be real.zed— ,‘ My father, Time, is weak and grey, Wit,h waiting for abetter day," We shall judge the Government by its acts, and shall oppose a Premier, be he Whig, Tory, or Radical, when we find him averse to the removal of the remnant of the Penal Code, which, absurdly enough, forbids the appointment of a Roman Catho lic Chancellor ;--a Colonial Secretary. when he resists the Ballot; or even so amiable and enli g htened a Stat esman as the present — Irish Secretary, when he seems half disinclined to grant an increase of popular privileges to the Irish people. Conscientiously believing that Ireland never can become gene rally happy and contented until s he a g ain has the advanta g e of a DOMESTIC LEGISLATURE we shall persevere, by arguments and facts. to advocate the REPEAL OF THE UNION, as not more beneficial to Ireland than the Sister Kingdom. staWidewviitit,ll t b b r e ing ste i a n d to the field the heavy artillery of reason, aided by the light brigade of wit and humour.

S I R,-A gfeat deal. has lately been written about the last mode of carrying into effect Mr. Rowland Hill's plan of Universal Penny Postage. Some persons, who advocate the compulsory pre-payment, propose that it shai'l be done by paying the penny at the post-o Ace window ; others, that the payment shall remain optional, as at present ; and some, that it shall be done by means of a kind of wafer -stamp, or one like what is now used for patent' medicines. I believe Mr. Hill's plan is (and upon which it is presumed all his calculations are founded) that it shall be done by the payment of the penny in advance, or by the compulsory use of a stamped envelope. If you will permit one who has given the subject much consideration, and who has had many years' ex perience in the Post-office service, to occupy a little space in your columns, I will briefly remark on the various p!ans, and state what in my humble opinion would be the best practical mode, either as regards economy or public convenience, for carrying Mr. Hill's plan into effect. To the compulsory payment of the penny at the post-office window, I object that it would be at tended with vast inconvenience and great additional expense to the public, inasmuch as every post-office in the kingdom, in proportion to its size and im portance, would have to increase its window accom modation and to employ a great many additional clerks to receive the postages, which, at any office in a large town, just before the departure of a mail, it would almost be impossible to effect. At these times, too, the public would be annoyed at having to wait until their letters could be received by the clerks. There would of course be no receiving-box. Letters could only be posted when the office was open, instead of being dropped into a box at any hour of the day or night, as at present. This in convenience would be felt by all classes, but espe cially by commercial men, who frequently have to post letters late at night on passing through a town. With regard to the optional payment, I am of opinion (and I am sure there are few of any expe rience in the service but what would agree with me) that it would not work so well as the preceding, while it would be attended with much greater ex pense. As few letters, comparatively, would be paid on being posted, a great delay in their delivery would necessarily be occasioned : supposing, in the first instance, they were to increase only twofold, the letter-carriers in every large town would have to be doubled ; for instead of the time of these men being chiefly taken up (as Mr. Cooper states in his pamphlet) "in discovering, reckoning, and dis puting," every person may know that it is in waiting to receive the postage charged upon the letters. The unavoidable increase in the number of clerks and letter-carriers would be enormously expensive to the country, - without conferring a corresponding benefit. Should, however, this optional mode of payment be adopted by Government, the numerical plan for keeping the different post-masters' accounts, as proposed by Mr. Cooper, would no doubt suggest itself to the post-office authorities as being the most simple and convenient, especially as it is the system used for many years past in the Post-office for keeping an account of letters passing the Menai and Conway bridges, which letters are subject to an additional penny rate of postage : yet the system, although more conve nient, would not, I think, effect so great a saving of time as might be imagiped, for the entries would still have to be made both on the letter-bill to be for warded with the letters, and in the office books, from which the accounts would have to be made out. The wafer stamp, or one like what is used for patent medicines, would not, I feel sure, answer the purpose. Such stamps would be very liable to be rubbed off when posted hastily after having just been affixed ; they could also he the most ea sily forged. But my strongest objection is, that there is nothing to prevent their being used a second time, for the idea of placing_ an impression of the office stamp over them would not be entertained by any person acquainted with the rapid mode indis pensable for stamping letters in all large offices. Mr. Rowland Hill has so fully shown the advan tage of pre-payment, either by paying the penny at the time of posting, or by means of a stamped en velope, that I shall not occupy your space by no ticing the objections made by various parties ; I re f er them to his pamphlet, which has not yet been answered. I shall, however, state my firm convic tion that the compulsory use of a stamped cover is the mode of all others best calculated for carrying that gentleman's plan into operation—it would prove most advantageous to the public, the least difficult to arrange, and the least expensive. It would facilitate and simplify every operation that a letter has to undergo after being put into the-office until it reached its destination. The rapid delivery it would enable the postmen to effect would he of immense advantage to all classes. It has, however, been objected, by paper manufacturers and other interested parties, that the use of a stamped en velope of a peculiar kind of paper would create an injurious monopoly ; and to do away with this objection, why not have the paper itself upon which the letter is to be written stamped ? Let every paper-maker or stationer be allowed to send what ever kind of paper he pleases to the Stamp .office, to have the postage stamp impressed on it ; the public would thus be enabled to obtain the stamp with as much facility as they can now obtain a sheet of writing paper ; and there would be this advantage in the mode proposed, that the stamped sheet might either be used to write upon or as an envelope. The stamp would of course have to be placed on the middle of the sheet, so that it might appear en the same side as the direction when the letter was folded up. It might be in colour some thing like the newspaper stamp, which might be written over, and it might be for different weights; for instance— Postage One Penny. Half an Ounce. Postage or, 1 Two Pence. One Ounce. and so on : or the same sheet of paper might be impressed with one, two, three, or four penny stamps, according as it might be wanted to carry half-ounce, ounce, ounce-and-half, or two ounces. This latter plan would be most convenient in the - transit - through the Post-office, because the number of stamps upon the direction would show the sort ing clerks, without the delay of reading each stamp, what weight the letter was calculated to carry ; and for the same reason it would be equally convenient to the public, and the least liable to occasion a mistake. If there is any difficulty in arranging as to the postage on foreign letters, I certainly think it is not the overcome by the plan proposed by a writer in the Polytechnic Journal, which plan , although it might do for letters passing between this country and Continent, yet it would be totally inapplicable to the immense number of letters brought into the country by private ships. Mr. Hill's plan, on the contrary, is quite easy and simple. Let the stamped paper or envelope for foreign letters sent from this country pay for those received into it. A postage stamp of sixpence, I should say, would be sufficient, and few of those who send or receive such letters would object to that sum, or even to a shilling, if thought necessary. There are many minor details, under the stamped cover system, which I will not trespass on your space by noticing further than to say I think there now are none but what might be arranged without dif- ficulty. I submit th ese o b s ervations to you, Mr. Edit or , with mu c h d e f erence , p e rfectly agreeing wi t h t h e remarks in a l a t e num ber of your Journal, t h at whatev er w ill f ac ili tate the collection, th e t rans i t, and the di s t r ib ut i on o f l e tters is the principl e to be kept i n v i ew .

INCENDIARISM.—The stack-yard of Mr. Askren, of Hough on the Hill, near Grantham, was set fire to by an incendiary on Tuesday night last; when two barley-stacks, a wheat-stack, and a hay-stack were de stroyed. The night was exceedingly dark and windy, and maing kw) , „1.1 rf iho fire at. Grin 4111 until I Wednesday morning, although but six miles distant. The " Fatalist" is the story of a Cornish Ba ronet, Sir Ralph Godolphin, who, some few years previous to the opening of the narrative, has suc ceeded to the title and estates by the sudden death of his elder brother. This relative has left behind him a lady, supposed to have been his mistress, and a sun, just springing up into manhood, both of whom go by the name of Valletort, and live at a small cottage, in the neighbourhood of Sir Ralph's estates, in a state of privacy and comparative des titution. Notwithstanding, however, the cloud that hangs over Mrs. Valletort's reputation, she is much respected by the neighbours, for the general meek ness and amenity of her conduct, many of whom disbelieve that she was ever other than the wife of the deceased Baronet ; and among those who most respect her is a jovial, kind-hearted Cornish Squire, who'has a termagant wife—as consummate a specimen hFalo% Florence nreeead Trelawney, o o fthe of a vixen d awbo: a a s huat ig everynoout young remember e n ngideamugb better ehrt daughter, r o o, amuse herself with in the retirement of the country, turns her attention to sentiment, and hastens to fall in love with Sidney Vailetort. He reciprocates her affection, and the affair is " progressing" steadily, but clandestinely, when, sad to say I Sir Ralph Godolphin takes a sudden fancy to Florence, and after many teats and sighs, and protestations of indifference, not to say dislike, on the lady's part, gains her hand, and is actually standing beside her at the altar, when, behold, he suddenly feels some sharp twinges in the epigastrim, turns exceedingly pale, and almost instantly afterwards make the alarming discovery that the twinges in question are not the result of Glauber salts, or calomel, but of poison, and that this poison has been administered by no less re spectable a personage than the parson, who is at that very moment marrying him to Florence I On ascertaining this fact, which he seems to have done by intuition, the indignant Baronet rushes on the surpliced ecclesiastic, and collars him ; where upon a highly impressive scene of pinching, scratching, grappling, and clapper-clawing takes place between them, which is at length brought to a close by the parson dropping down as dead as mutton in the " chancel," with a big dagger stick ing in his heart Sir Ralph Godolphin dies a ' short time after, but not before he has confessed that he is a usurper, and that Sidney Valletort is his lawful nephew, his mother having been married to the deceased .Baronet. Of course, under these circumstances ) the heir gets his own, and, what he likes still better, the hand of Florence Trelawney ; and all parties are left, in the three hundred and twelfth page of the third volume, in a perfect extacy of enjoyment. There is some talent in this novel, but it is almost neutralized by the extreme prodi gality with which the author deals out his horrors. He should be more parsimonious in this respect. A little terror, and even a stray murder now and then, are not amiss, but too much of them makes one sick. The first volume of the work is the best, for there we find some attempt at analysis of cha racter, in the person of Sir Ralph Godolph,in, which the writer afterwards abandons, in his anxiety to produce effect. From his spirited—though in places, too highly coloured—sketch of the canting Puritan, Gabriel Goodenough, we augur that he is capable of better things. The style of his narra tive is easy, and flowing, sometimes eloquent ; but as we have already observed, his besetting defect is exaggeration. If he desire to succeed in his next work of fiction, he must studiously avoid this, for it is less a symptom of strength than of weakness. SHAKSPEARE.

(FRIDAY EVENING.) • CHRONICLE.-I'he suspension of specie pay ' ments by the American banks still occupies a large share of public interest, and the effect which it will produce upon the .Bank of the United States becomes a subject of importance. Unqualified statements of its insolvency have been put abroad in a leading morning journal, which will'thus have extensive circulation ; and it has become, therefore, necessary to enable the public to form a correct judgment for themselves. Nlte have received from the Agency here a statement of the affairs of the esteblishment as at Ist October, IS 9, which we now make public ; and, presuming that i: correctly represents the whole liabilities of the esta blishment and its branches, we have no hesitation, in ziying that it ought to remove all doubts as to its perfect ability to meet all its engagements. The statement is as follows : BANK OF THE UNITED STATES, oCTOBEk 1, 1839. Cr.

Bond to the United States 1,986,589 04 Interest on ditto Foreign Exchange Balance with branches Deposits D. 72,178,244 53 Tie above balance sheet shows of assets 72,178,244 dollars, and the liabilities to the public are 32,306,520 dollars, exhibiting a clear surplus capital of 38,781,724 dollars, including the guarantee fund. Tim balance sheet no doubt includes as assets 35,000.000 dollars of bills, and 17,000,000 dollars of stock accounts, and it may be said that in this way credit is taken for a large amount of questionable securities ; but, making every fair allowance for bad banking, it proves most plainly the undoubted stability of the esta blishments, and that the 77»zes newspaper acted most un warrantably in alarming the public mind in its money . article of to•dav, by asserting that it was in a state of bankruptcy. It is possible, in so severe a time of monetary pressure, that the shareholders may suffer in some d,:gree, although the large amount of the Rest, or guarantee fund, provides them with a very powerful safeguard ; but, as to the public, we consider that the state of the balance sufficiently shows that they are perfectly safe from any ultimate loss. The English funds arc rather better to-day, but there has not been much business transacted. Money con• tinues very much in demand, both in the house and out of doors, although towards the close of business it seemed to be somewhat easier. The opinion to-day is that, while•' the state of things in America will have an adverse effect upon the holders of cotton goods, for the reasons• which we stated yesterday ; yet it must induce the Americans to ship large consignments of cotton to this country, which will bring down the price of the raw material, and enable our manufacturers not only to re sume working full time, but also bring down prices to such a level as will induce the continental merchants to sand their orders, so as to give a briskness to our markets, and thus, causing a detaand for exports, pro duce a favourable result upon the continental exchanges. TIMES.—It is found unusually difficult to convey to the public any precise account of the impression pro duced in London by the failure of the United States Bank. A common observation is, that because it has not been followed by any decline in the English funds, it is a matter of very trifling importance ; but the two things hive no connexion with each other ; and could the notion once be got rid of that the embarrassments which the event may create in various quarters, sud denly cut off from what was held to be a certain re source, must lead to extensive sales of stock to meet the emergency, our funds ought to be higher, rather than otherwise, in consequence of this failure. An occurrence so distinctly foreseen as this has been does, indeed, sel dom produce any effect at the time of its becoming known, but it may be ,remarked further, that a vio:ent depreciation cannot happen in any foreign security with out bringing suddenly a large increase of capital for in vestment in the English funds, " the horse," as the late Mr. Rothschild use to express it, " which never had a fall," and reconciling people in general to that low rate of interest, which, in speculative times like these, is alone compatible with safety. The ruin of the United States Bank will not only put out of the market its own stock, notes, bonds, and every form of abortive paper creation of its own, but will almost, if not quite, in an equal degree, place under interdict the whole flood of American rubbish termed " securities," . which, under the supposed protection of that bank, have been pouring in upon us for many years past. Of a great proportion of them the fate is already sealed, and with respect even to the best, the holders must, for the most part, be con tent to await the issue, as few will be found willing to take their places in adopting them for investments. Hence the disposable means of the country id( go. to a much greater extent at least, to more safe and legiti mate investments, which will acquire in their value a cor responding degree of benefit. POST.—The view taken by the moneyed interest to day of the prospects of the United States Bank of Penn sylvania has not been by any means less favourable than yesterday. The best proof that can be adduced of this is to be found in the improved price that has been given for the shares of that establishment, sales of them haV ing been effected in the course of the day at 161.175.6 d. per share, which is more, by the fraction, than could have been obtained for them on the first arrival of the Liverpool. We always quote from the New York journals on financial subjects with caution, because it is i well known that the American press is, to a great ex tent, subject to improper influences, and this is accounted for on the principle that almost every newspaper esta blishment in the Union is supported by' the banking in terest. The United States Bank of Pennsylvania has made many enemies by the amazing power which it has exercised in all the leading cities of America, and the effective opposition it has given to the anti social measures of the Government at Washington, who ;from the most perverse and inexplicable course of policy they have been pursuing, would appear to have had no object so much at heart a: the total annihilation of com merce. Several violent phillipics have been launched against the Bank from time to time, even in its prospe rity, and now that it has unfortunately fallen into ad versity, and been comp, , Ped to take the initiative in a renewed suspension by the banks of specie payments throughout the land, their exultation has no bounds. They have become perfectly rampant. We are glad, however, to see that there are exceptions to this discre ditable line of conduct. We have already said that the mercantile letters from Philadelphia speak confidently of the ultimate resources of the United States Bank ; and the following extract, which we make from the New York Courier and Enquirer of the 19th ult. (the day on which the steamer left New York), is not merely en couraging to the shareholder, but it forms also an agree able contrast to the mass of newspaper ribaldry which has been published on the other side the Atlantic on the subject of the late suspension : " In the first moment of excitement, growing out of the suspension of this institution, we were prepared to see the mass attach undue blame to its direction, its officers, and its general management ; but, now that there has been time for reflection, it does not argue well for the intelligence of our city to persevere in this in justice towards an institution which in all periods of public calamity, and at every derangement of our mo netary affai rs , h as f ear l ess l y t h rown i tsel f i nto t h e breach, and, with out t h e necessary considerat i on o f se lf, boldly and efficiently sustained the commercial and other great interests of the country. We all know that the very d embarr assmen t un d er w hi c h t h e B an k of the States now labours arises solely from it to protect th e coun t r y aga inst the wa s laudable efforts to ruthlessly s waged upon the currency ; and, under such circum stances, even if it were far less prosperous than it at present is, the great good ithas heretoforete very rendere dpersons country should not be forgotten by who, of all others, have been most bene fi ted by the public-spi rited administration of its affairs. But th ere i s no reason for believing that it is in the disastrous situa tion some interested persons would have the public believe. When it suspended, in 1837; in common with all the banking institutions in the country, no one ' supposed for a moment that it was bankrupt ; nor does it by a ny means follow that because our institutions are happilyin a position that en a bl es th em to continue spe cie paments, all those w hi c h h ave suspended are less s olvent than in 1837. The temporar dishonour of its bilis by a banking house Paris has been, we are aware, used by the interested and designing as evidence of its HERALD.—The accounts which we received from the United States yesterday have not by any means had so serious an effect upon the commercial and monetary interests of the country as many parties anticipated. It appears that the caution used, of late, by the Bank of England was warranted by circumstances. That caution was naturally misstated by the country banks of issue ; and the result .has been, to a certain extent, something of a healthy influence over our Money Mar ket. The prospect of any great renewal of trade with the United States for some time to come is necessarily doubtful. The Money Market for commercial purposes con tinues to suffer under considerable pressure, yet the pressure is light, compared with what it mig - ht have been, bad not the leading banking interests PI the country adopted.the caution to which we have alre,ldy referred. _ _ We have much reason to know that confidence has increased in the Bank parlour. Their late proceedings, indeed, would seem to have been a matter of public necessity, arising out of a bad system of currency here, and one infinitely worse in the United States. ludePd• we have no doubt that the late operations of the liglk have been founded upon sound principle, so far as thy' welfare of the commercial interests of this country are concerned. The long and heavy unadjusted accounts between the commercial interests of this country and of the United States must now be decidedly arranged b tore the trade between the two countries can be established upon a fair system. Our merchants and foolish capi talists are becoming ,iek of the paper securities of the United States, founded upon a single standard of gold, depreciated by alloy - below its nominal value. Toe re sult will, therefore, be that' the commercial and public debts of the United States must be sett!, d in 'Rao)) or a healthy representative of the precious metals. Tiiis„ of course, for along time, must bring, bullion to Bank of England, and .as the means to au end we trust that good will be effected. By the official returns of the actual of bul lion from the p,riod between the 31st Of Oeto)ci• to the 6th of November, it appedrs that gold in coin are 320 ounces, and the silver in coin 110,400 ounces. SUN.—We are glad to state the Fortign Exchanges took afavourable turn this afternoon, moat of the r.tes closing at an improvement on those realised last post-day. This rise, though slight, is taken as an indication that the export trade is increasing, as it was not the result of any large operation on the part of the Bank of Eng land. The latest rates of the Exchanges were as fol low :—On Paris 25f. 60c. to 25f. 67in. ; on Amster dam, 12.34 to 12.4 ; on Frankfort, 150-. 4 ; on Ant werp, 12.3 4 ; and on Hamburg, 13.94 to 13.10. The American walk on 'Change was fully attended this afternoon, and we are happy to state that confidence, which was partially checked on the receipt of the news from New York, has almost entirely revived. There . was not, however, much business done in any description of goods, nor can a revival take place for some time to come. In cotton there was scarcely a sale made to-day. - The West India produce markets are firm. The tea sales concluded this afternoon. Of about 64,800 chests Put up, 34,400 were actually sold. Prices were 2d. to 3d. per lb. above those of the October sales. The Stock Market closed rather briskly this after noon; and atitnproved prices. Consols for Money rose to 90h- 4 ; for the Account to 90i buyers ; and Exche quer Bills from 12s. to 14s. discount. India Bonds were still heavy at 14s. discount, and Bank Stock at 179 L Spanish Stock rallied this afternoon to 271 ; Portu guese Five per Cents. to 314 s ; the Three per Cents. to 22 ; and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. to 52. In the other Bonds there was not any alteration on the prices in the early part of the day. Sh;.rcs were dull. Great North of England at 24 discount ; Brighton at 14 discount ; Greenwich at discount ; and the Manchester and Leeds at 5 premium. British North American Bank Shares have been done at 1 discount ; and Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares at l 8 premium. TRADE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE. —As Commissioners have been appointed by France and England to treat, for the purpose of placing the import duties affecting the trade of both countries on a more liberal and equitable footing, the relative position and value of their mutual exports and imports furnish interesting matter for inquiry. The official Custom house tables, as given in the Commerce de Paris, show that the imports from England into F nee have nearly doubled from 1834 to 1837, white, on the other hand, the exports from France to this country have been al most stationary during the same period. The compara tive tables, which have received very general circulation, stand as follows : Imports from England Exports from France to France. to England. YEARS, FRANCS. FRANCS.

Imports from Eq.land of hemp and linen thread : Kilogr., 21h. each. 1834 1835 1836 1837 'Fite importation of British linen has also increased ; in 1837, it had reached 475,000 kilogrammes. YANKEE ADVERTISING.—Most Englishmen are amused with the specimens of American advertising which occasionally come under the eve. The following is not amiss :—" Anthony Macdonald teaches boys and girls their grammar tongue ; also, geography, terrestrial and celestial. Old hats made as good as new." There can be no question, that if Anthony is able to perform all that he here covenants to accomplish, he is a univer sal genius No man not possessing the most versatile talents, could unite in his own person the somewhat he terogeneous qualifications requisite for teaching boys and girls their grammar league, also geography, terres trial and celestial; and making " old hats as good as new." To be instructed in " celestial geography," by which Anthony, we suppose, means the geography of the heavens ; generally called by other people,astronomv, must be a very great matter ; but as the old world goes, especially in Jonathan's land, we shrewdly sus. pect, that if Anthony can actually, according to promise, make " old hats as good as new," he is likely to drive a somewhat • brisker and more profitable business that way, than in teaching the young idea how to shoot ; the Americans being notorious for their "shocking bad hats."—WaThs and Wanderings in the World of Lite rature, by the Author of" The Great Metropolis." A HARD CASE.—An American Paper contains the following brief but serious complaint :—" One of or subscribers has stopped his paper because we refused to insert an obituary, two columns in length, of a child of his which died at the:age of two months. We should have had no objection to have published a short obituary of the infant, but what would our other readers have said to two mortal columns ?" It was, doubtless, a most unreasonable thing to request the insertion of so voluminous an obituary ot a child, which only reached the innocent age of a couple of months ; and the fact of the , father stopping his paper, because it was refur - t, only shows with what queer customers our Yarike.. brethren of the press have to deal. We are sorry, however, after all, that our friend of the broadsheet, on the other side of the Atlantic, did not, as a matter of curiosity, publish this two-column obituary : and we beg so give the father of the infantile deceased due notice, should this meet his eye, that if he only send the obi turav to us, we shall take care that it graces the What we are curious to know is, where: or f c tnri o l.ioii l giit u i,h r t,th ns e of some of our metropolitan journal s , n w s. ere not parTictilarN,- uld. how this exemplary parent possessed himself of I materials respecting his infant out of cou ho-►d the hart rt he from which an ()bleary pro lificw fi r spin st o t w t : ‘ e o ' o p m o n c o h e n:t h o P s r n o P v f : r e i - ? t s f:t i n f t u u c m y d s b t e hva n ite i a ea n st u o ta ft ? ia t a .u tt.t r , e ,rt d e . lt I : t ea, i ) s guti p .:i rk t . lh tt ae, y tbiahbi ho vf.rer, ts S ,a t : yo name,eak cbeooodri about i s s d ?et wonder, the t o t Pt: trayt eld t e ei h s r a N u Y :b e 'a , t ' n: b i it' e t es e l . 7 n a t i aN would ‘r'll d tt e t a v' r b a filled d all babes are ; and it may, moreov, r, have been devotedly attached attached to " nurse" and to " pap ;" such v,.e c a c n o n n o t t m on- conceiveplace affairsv‘i t a h t e g a r n o n u a n l d s o t i b s a b a y ff s e h e i but then these are n : P i i t, n that ate father thought them worthy of particular mention in the case of' his child.

ENORMOUS SEAL.—A great seal was taken, on Friday last, near Dublin, by a boatman named Talent.
