DIRECT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN DUBLIN and LONDON, through WALES. On Monday last a numerous Deputation, consisting, of Members of Parliament, appointed at a meeting held on the 3d instant, at the King's Arms Hotel, and also of Merchants and Bankers of the city of London, appointed at a Meeting held on the lith instant, waited on the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, in order to ascertain the views of the Government, and in how far they would be disposed to assist in carrying this important national project into effect. Among those present were Messrs. O'Connell, Lefroy, Wallace, M.P. for Greenock, F. Shaw, Hon. R. Clive, Mr. A. H. Lynch, K.C., Colonel Percival, Messrs. W. S. O'Brien, J. Bodkin, Sharman Crawford , Dunbar, Brady, Colonel Powell, and M. J. O'Connell, from the Com mittee of Members of Parliament ; Mr. Kingscote, bankFr, Mr. Moxton, Mr. Pym, and Mr. Murray, from the City Committee. Mr. O'CONNELL briefly introduced the subject, and stated that the object of the Deputation was to call the at tention of Government to a plan that had been suggested of constructing a Railway from Port-Dynllaen to London, by which it was stated that the intercourse between London and Dublin could be accomplished in 12 hours ; he referred especially to the natural advantages of the proposed har bour of Port-Dynllaen, which might easily be made to accommodate steam vessels of the largest class, to which Holyhead was totally inadequate, and by means of which the sea voyage between England and Ireland would be m aterially shortened in point of time. He then ad verted to the benefits which would result, not only to the public, but especially to the Post-office revenue, from the proposed railroad, in connexion with the harbour. He stated that it appeared, that not only would the corres- pondence be materially accelerated, but an immense saving would arise in the expenditure upon the packets now estab lished ; the letters which at present pass between Milford and Dunmore to the South of Ireland would, by the pro posed route, arrive more than 20 hours earlier than by the present, and the steam packets on that station might con sequently be discontinued ; and by this arrangement, and others which he detailed, he showed that a saving amount ing to from eighty to one hundred thousand pounds annu ally would very speedily be realized ; that communications had taken place with parties of the highest respectability in the city, and that it the Government would consent to allow to such parties the savings to be realized by the pro posed communication for a given number of years, they would be ready at once to embark in the undertaking, and to carry it into effect. It appeared that by availing them selves of the lines now in progress, or of others which were projected, it would not be necessary to construct any new line beyond 120 or 130 miles, and for which alo ne the -aid of Government would be required. Messrs. SHAW and LEFROY followed, and urged the vast importance of rendering the communication between Lon don and Dublin as easy and expeditious as possible, and that the project was one in respect to which all parties • seemed unanimous. Mr. RICE stated in substance, that he was himself strongly impressed with an opinion that the project of car rying a railroad through Wales would be attended with very great difficulties ; but if it were found, on examination, that the undertaking could be accomplished, and that London and Dublin could be brought within 12, 14, or 15 hours' distance of each other, the object would be one of the great est national importance. That, generally speakin g , he was desirous to see works of this kind undertaken and carried through by private capital ; still as it might reasonably be doubted whether this project would be productive of profit as a mere commercial speculation, and as it was to the great lenefits which must result from it to both countries, in a more extended point of view, that lie looked forward, be thought the State might with great propriety be called on to assist the undertaking, and that even so large a sum as two millions, which bad been named, could not, when consi dered with reference to the immense benefits which the suc cess of the project must eventually realize, be considered excessive. Mr. RICE, in the course of the conversation which en sued, earnestly called upon the Irish Members of Parlia ment, then present, to use their best efforts to induce parties who entertained projects for the establishment of railwal s in Ireland to come to some understanding u po n the general subject, and that Parliament should be spared the necessity of deciding upon rival and sometimes con flicting projects. That it was of the greatest importance that leading lines of railway should, if possible, be laid out at once, the wholc progress of which should be carefully con sidered, and the extreme termini fixed upon in the first in stance—that if such leading lines were judiciously se lected, owns and places adjacent could, by forming branch lines, not only communicate direct with the capital, if such leading lines emanated from it, but also with every other place along the lines or connected with it, and thus an im mense amount of public accommodation would be bad at a comparatively small cost. The Hon. Mr. CLIVE, in adverting to the proposed harbour at Port-Dynilaen, stated that, from all he had heard res7ecting, it, he was impressed with the opinion that it was peculiarly eli g ible for a Packet Station , and he had no doubt that aßailway through \Vales would be found prac ticable ; indeed he recollected that the harbour and route in question was proposed in Parliament to long ago as 1803, and only lost by a majority of one. Mr. RICE requested that•be might be furnished with es timates of the proposed line and harbour ; also the precise time which it would save as compared with Liverpcol and when the Railways from London to those places were completed. Mr. O'CoNNELL stated that a second survey was now in pro 4 ress under the direction of' Messrs. `lie noiles and Ras trick, and the moment they made their Report, which he expected would be in the course of a fortnight, the infor m Ilion he required sheuld be laid before him. Do potation then withdrew, much pleased nitb the frank and candid statem. nts of the Right Honourable Geatleman. THE WIDOW AND HER SON. The new lodgers at first attracted our curiosity, and af t:a-wards cxci•ca our interest. They were a young lad, of cig,htezn or nineteen, and his mother, a lady of about fifty, or it might he less. The mother wore a widow's weeds, and the boy was also clothed in deep mourning. They were poor--very pocr ; for their only means - of support arose from the pittance the boy earned by copying writings, and translating for the bOoksellers. They had removed from some country place, and settled in London, partly because it afforded better chances of employment for the bay, and, partly, perhaps, with the natural desire to leave. a place where they had been in better circumstances, and where their poverty was known. They were proud under their reverses, and above revealing their wants and priva-. Lions to strangers. How bitter these privations were, and how hardly the boy worked to remove them, no one ever knew but themselves. Night after night, two, three, four, hours after midnight could we bear the occasional raking together of the scanty fire, or the hollow and half-stifled cough, which indicated his being still at work ; and day after day could we see more plainly that nature had set that unearthly light in his plaintive face which is the beacon of her worst disease. Actuated, we hope, by a higher feeling than mere curiosity, we contrived to establish first an acquaintance, and then a close inti macy, with the poor strangers. Our worst fears were rea lised ; the boy was sinking fast. Through a part cf the winter, and the whole of the following spring and summer, his labours were unceasingly prolonged. The mother at tempted to procure needle-work, embroidery—anything for bread. A few shillings now and then were all she could earn, and the boy worked steadily on—dying by minutes — but never once giving utterance to complaint or murmur. It was a beautiful autumn evening when we went in to pay our customary visit to the invalid. His little remaining strength had been decreasing rapidly for two or three days preceding, and he was lying on a sofa before the open window, gazing at the setting sun. His mother had been reading the Bible to him, for she closed the book as we entered, and advanced to meet us. " I was telling Wil liam," she said, " that we must manage to take him into the country somewhere, so that he may get quite well. He is not ill, you know, but he is not very strong, and has exerted himself too much lately." Poor thing! The tears that streamed through her fingers, as she turned aside, as if to adjust her close widow's cap, too plainly showed how fruitless was the attempt to deceive herself. The boy placed one hand in ours, grasped his mother's arm with the other, drew her hastily towards him, and fervently kissed her cheek. There was a short pause as he sunk back upon his pillow, and looked with appalling earnestness on his mother's face. " William, William," said tho terrified pa rent, " don't look at me se ; speak to me, dear." The boy smiled languidly, but an instant afteywards his features re solved into the same cold, solemn gaze. " William, dear William," said the distracted mother," rouse yourself, dear, don't look at me so, love, pray don't. Oh, my God ! what shall Ido ! My dear, dear boy !he is dying." The boy raised himself by a violent effort, and folded his hands together—" Mother, dear, dear mother, bury me in the open fields—anywhere but in these dreadful streets. I should like to lie where you can see my grave, mother, but not in these close, crowded streets ; they have killed me. Kiss me again mother, put your arm round m y neck." lie fell back, a st range expression stole upon his features, not of pain or suffering, but an indescribable fixing of every line and muscle—the boy was dead.—Sketches by Boz. Messrs. Fics and Slanewald, of Quedlinburgh in Westphalia, have discovered a process, whereby, in twelve hours, ten pounds of pure sugar, perfectly crystallised, may be extracted from 100 pounds of beet -root. The secret was immediately purchased by . M. Brokhoff, of Wi s b urg , for 20,000 fr., with the condition that it should not b e use d be yond the provinces of t he Rhine and Westphalia. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 22, 1836: months from the commencement. In the mean while facilities should be provided for carrying on a contra band trade with the native merchants and tea-growers in the interior, by which means all inconvenience to the public here would be prevented. As our principal object would be to compel the Chinese Government to abolish a monopoly, a thousand times worse than that hitherto enjoyed by the East India Company—and as we would not make terms for ourselves only, but for Europe—France and America would readily lend us all the assistance in their power, with a view to the more immediate attainment of a great common good. At present the monopoly of the trade with China is only half abolished. When the Chinese are placed on the same footing as ourselves, then the trade will be really free. The monopoly enjoyed by the East India Com pany was not half so injurious as the monopoly now in the hands of the Hong merchants. A free trade with China would be a thousand times more advan tageous to the peple of Great Britain and Ireland than the actual possession of our Indian Empire. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1536. Mr. LAwSON, we perceive, has given notice Oral on the third reading of th e Hull and Selby Rail-IA -a) Bill, he move that a clause be introduced to pro , hibit travellinc , on Sundays. A more absurd, partia motion than this; we cannot well imagine. It is at Andrew-Agnezvism of the first water. Should it bl allowed to pass—which of course we do not for at instant anticipate—it is not the rich who will feel it: effects, but the poor, on whom it will press with extrean severity. The former will still be left in the full fruition of their Sunday recreations, for the motion will not affect their horses or carriages on the high-way ; these will be allowed to rattle on as briskly and noisily as ever ; but the latter, who have no such resources, will be comrelled either to stay at home, or toil along the road on foot. Why should this he ? The maim recommendations of rail-way travelling are that they combine speed with economy : yet from these two ad vantages, in which he is interested beyond any other clas of the community, the poor man is to be expressly shut out, on perhaps the only day in the week that he is able to avail himself of them ! And while the poor are to be so excluded, and fettered with unjust re strictions, the rich are to be left at full liberty to amuse themselves as they please. Mr. LA wsoN may perhaps tell us that there is no invidious distinction here ; but though he may believe this himself, he will scarcely succeed in making the mass of the working classes believe it, who will see at a glance that his mo ticn is specially directed against themselves, and based on an aristocratic foundation. If it be wrong for a poor man to travel by the railway on a Sunday, how can it be right for a rich one to' travel in his own car riage on the same day ? Is there something innately vicious in the one mode of conveyance, and innately virtuous in the other ? We should feel grateful if Mr. LAWSON would explain this matter, and give reasons '',for the faith that is in him ;" for our present impres sions are, that his motion is as sheer a piece of cant, twaddle, and inconsistency, as ever was perpetrated even by that Saint of Saints, St. AGNEW. Possibly, however, it may be from an excess of the virtuous—from an overpowering spirit of Evangelism—that he is induced to bring it forward ; but if this be the case, how is it that he does not enlarge the terms of his motion, and look as sharply after the high-road as the rail-way ? We have no patience with that partial, oppressive spirit of legislation which passes by the rich, only to fall with a crushing hand on the poor. GOD knows, these last are not over-burdened .with the comforts of life ; and to deprive them of what few they have left, under the pretext of preventing the desee . ratiOn of the Sabbath, while the lordly hotels, and the fa shionable clubs, with the horses, gigs, and carriages of the titled and the wealthy are passed by unno ticed, is not to act in accordance with the dictates of religion and morality, but in - direct opposition to them. A few days ago we read in a Morning Contem porary the following paragraph :—" For the last three Sundays workmen have been constantly engaged at the Carlton Club." Hear this, ye LAWSONS, POULTERS, AGNEWS, &c., and blush for the indifference with which you have treated such a profanation of the Sab bath ! For three successive Sundays has the clink of the carpenter's hammer disturbed the prayers of the neighbours to the right and left of the Carlton Club, yet not one of you have taken up the matter? Why is this ? Because the Saints in question are actuated, not by religion, but fanaticism—not by zeal for the spiritual welfare of the community, but by a spirit of the most aristocratic exclusiveness. Instead of be ginning at the right, they make a point of beginning at 'the wrong end ; perversely taking for granted that it is not the rich who need reformation, but the poor. Thus they shut up the baker's shop, yet leave wide open the doors of the fashionable Club ; anathematize railways, yet breathe not a syllable in vituperation of high-roads ; tolerate the card -party, but fall with re morseless energy on the social assembly Outside the village alehouse. Mr. WA K LEY has given notice that he will move in the House of Commons, this evening, for the re peal of 1 Geo. 1. , c. 28, commonly called th e Septen nial Act, when Mr. TENNYSON will move as an amendment that leave be given to bring i n a Bill f or shortening the du ration of Parliaments. We under stand that the Right Hon. the Member for Lam- beth proposes to abridge the legal duration of Parlia ments by only two years ; to substitute a Quinquennial for a Septennial Act. We are confident th at the House will not listen to such a futile amendment ; and that, if it be found inconvenient to return to the good old principle of Triennial Parliaments, the law will be allowed to remain in its present form. We are old enough to remember the time when Mr. TEN NYSON was one of the most zealous advocates for Triennial Parliaments, and it not a little surprises us to find him now of a different opinion. The Right Hon. Gentleman has latterly manifested other symp toms of declining ardour in a good cause, for which we find it equally difficult to account. Certain we arc that no change has taken place in our social rela tions, or political institutions, to warrant such a display of timid caution on the part of the Right Honourable the Member for Lambeth. Mr. TENNYSON knows as well as we do that the re peal of the Septennial Act is absolutely necessary to the proper and legitimate working of the Reform Bill ; and that the legal continuance of Parliament, for a longer period than three years, is tantamount, in the present state of public feeling, to election for life. But we have had too often occasion to observe, that per sonal jealousies are allowed to mar the progress of equitable legislation. Most of the old Members of the House of Commons have hobby-horses, which they are ready to kick to pieces rather than suffer a new Member to lay his hand upon them. Each has his pet project ; and with that project no other Member must interfere. Your modern Parliamentary patriot thinks nothing of any benefit to the country which does not originate with himself ; and rather than the people should owe to another a boon which be previ ously purposed offering them himself, he Will seldom scruple to assist in neutralizing its vital advantages. We regret the existence of these petty jealousies, which are the main cause of the continuance of every abuse both in Church and State. Were the Liberals cordially to unite together in their joint efforts to eradicate the evils entailed upon the country by Tory misrule, they would be irresistible. By their bickerings and procrastinations they create a feel ing of disappointment and disgust in the public mind, and so pave the way for the substitution of Representatives, who will make no distinction be tween institutions excellent in themselves, but liable to abuse, and those which demand immediate and total abolition. The present Parliament may rely upon it, that if it refuse compliance with the public will, it will be replaced by one ready to concede more than the country has yet dared to solicit. If the moderate men would retain the power which they now possess, they must make liberal concessions to public opinion—they must move in advance of the country—and where ever gross and flagrant abuses are pointed out, eradicate them with a bold and unsparing hand. The bit-by-bit system will only prepare the way for throwing all power within the grasp of the mountain —a party already too powerful to be contemned, and which is daily receiving fresh accessions of strength from the disaffected in every part of the country. We are entirely unacquainted with the course which the Government will adopt on this occasion. When the question was last before the House of Commons, Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted the soundness of the principle of Triennial Parliaments, but pleaded the inexpediency of reverting to it before perfecting the more necessary portion of the machinery of the Reform Bill. Such a reason for delay can no longer be advanced ; neither do we believe that Ministers will be so short-sighted as longer to delay a measure to the principle of which they are pledged, and which offers an additional guarantee for their continuance in power. We shall reserve our observations upon the vital prin ciple of the Triennial Act—namely, the frreater respon sibility of the Members of the House of . Commons, till to-morrow. The old adage that " short reckonings make long friends," is not less true of Members of Parlia ment than of the members of an anti-temperance club. Besides a Member of the House of Commons has so many inducements to betray his constituents—the party to whom he is in opposition has so many good things at its disposal—that it is absolutely necessary to protect his virtue by placing him more within the influence of public opinion, and by diminishing all temptations to the employment of bribery and corruption on the part of the Crown. We have had too many examples of the WENTwoRTtis in opposition becom ing STRA FFORDS at the beck of a Court favourite, not to be persuaded of the danger to the Constitution and the country from the continuance of a system which, as we observed before, is tantamount to election for life. It is better to keep public men honest than to be afterwards obliged to cut off their heads for betray [g the liberties of the people. We have much pleasure in pointing attention to a Report of a Conference held yesterday with the C [IAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and a numerous Depu tation, on the subject of a communication between London and Dublin, in twelve hours, by way of Port-llynllaen in Carnarvoushire. It is a m atter of such obvious importance—of such vital interest to the welfare .of both countries—that there cannot be a moment's hesitation on the part of Government in giving it the greatest support. In fact, it ought to be a national undertaking altogether. Ireland has hitherto been in the relation of an alien to this country. l3rine her nearer home, and she will no longer feel and act as if step-dame Nature had deprived her of her natural and just rights. Nations, like individuals, to be on mutual terms of fellowship and goouwill, must be equally independent. To be beneficial to each other, their fr►endship must be pure, cordial, and reciprocal. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday, in which we find the following official announcement : " A telegraphic despatch from Narbonne announces that, on the 6th instant, disorders occurred in Valencia. The Cap tain-General (Caratella) was compelled by the National Guards to resign his command, and quit the city. He was to be replaced by Mendez Vigo. An attack, made by the factions at Berga, on the 14th instant, was repulsed, with the loss to them of a great num ber of men killed and wounded. They retired on Prat de Llusanis, on which point Colonel Aspiroz marched on the 15th, with 4,000 Christinos, to attack them. Mina was, on the 16th of March, at Tarragona, and on the 17th in the direction of Cervera." The King of the FRENCH has decided against any intervention in the affairs of Spain, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the Foreign Minister. Thus the system of wholesale robbery and massacre carried on by the Carlists for two years is to con tinue ; unless England take measures for clear ing the Basques of the PRETENDER and his ruffianly adherents. CABRERA now at the head of nearly six thousand vagabonds as blood thirsty as himself, is in the vicinity of Valentia, committing the most diabolical atrocities on all who fall into his hands. Women and children are butchered without mercy ; the fortner being previously subjected to the most revolting outrages. In fact, the war has dege nerated into a system of worse than savag e extr mination. England must interfere at last to put an end to these atrocities ; and to brin g the a uthors of them to condign punishment. Don C ARLO S and MINA deserve both to be hanged, and we sincerely hope that such may yet be the fate of these monsters of cruelty. The Madrid Cabinet is not yet completed. M. IsTuitiz still holds back, and rumours are afloat that a faction is at work to oust the President of the Council before the meeting of the Cortes. PARIS, MARCII 2. The Keeper of the Seals, and the Mi nister of Public Instruction have been to-day to the first sub- Committee of the Budget. It appears that the reporters of the several budgets of the divers Ministerial departments are diligently engaged in their labours. It is hoped that M. Gouin, reporter on the whole Budget, will be beard next week. Several Journals have announced that the fortune left by Madame Letitia Bonaparte, amounts to two millions of piasters, or five millions of francs. We can assure our readers that the fortune does not exceed two millions of francs, to be divided among six heirs. We have before us letters which have no doubt of this fact. The Editor of the Patriote de Saone and L o i re h as j ust b ee n condemned, by d efault, to five years imprisonment in one of the fortresses situated in the Continental territory of the kingdom, to a fine of 10,000 francs and costs (minimum of the penalty). M. Fabian, agent at Paris of the people of colou of the Isle of Bourbon, writes a letter to the Messager, in which he expresses his surprise that the accounts from the island should have represented the people of colour as having intended to set fire to the Public Institutions, to poison the garrisons, &c. The Governor's Proclamation, he observes, speaks only of too great alarms excited by the intrigues of some obscure persons, and that he depends on all classes of the population. M. Fabian says, that the people of colour are full of gratitude for the be nefits they have received.—Messager, March 20. Letters have been received in Town via Paris from Madrid, dated the 14th, in which it is said that M. MENDIZA BA L had convoked, for the 15th, a meeting of the most influential Members of the Procuradores, with a view to the filling up of the vacant offices in the Ministry. M. IsTurtrz, it is supposed, will be Minister for Foreign Affairs. The majority that the Government will command in the Chambers is expected to be more than two-thirds. With regard to DON CARLOS'S loan, our Madrid Correspondent sans,--" I have good reason to believe that the advance of 6 per cent. on that loan, of which so much has been said, is a mere fabrication. I understand, indeed, that he has given a discharge in full for the amount as equivalent to small sums which he has received at different times, and which have been long ago swallowed up by the expenses of the war." Several weeks of the Parliamentary Session are now over, and yet nothing has been done to call public attention to the state of our commercial re lations with China. It would be unfair to con clude that such an omission of what be may considered an imperative duty, was voluntary, either on the part of the Government or the House of Commons. The po pular branch of the Legislature has not been idle ; and where there is more t0.,d0 in a given time than can possibly be accomplished within so limited a pe riod, the utmost that a reasonable people can expect is, that precedence be allowed to the business most li able to derangement from delay. Fairly examined, the past proceedings of the House of Com mons appear to us satisfactory, even when tested by this rule, which ought not tobe strictly appliedto the conduct of a popular assembly so constituted, and with powers so extensive and unlimited. In the Parliamentary sessions, such as that of 1571, when there was a Lord-Keeper to reprimand those " audacious, arro gant, and presumptuous Members who dared to call the Royal grants and prerogatives in question, med dling with matters neither pertaining to them, nor within the capacity of their shallow understanding ;" and when, at each several meeting of the Commons, ,they were admonished " not to meddle with any mat ters of state, save such as should be propounded unto them ;" greater exactness in the progress of public business was, of course, observable, than will be found to pervade the legislation of a House of Commons, with no other bounds to the exercise of its powers, than such as may be dictated by its own discretion. Nevertheless, the Session of 1836 promises to mani fest in its acts the presence of an uniform, orderly, and deliberative principle—such as all good men would de sire to see pervade the Supreme Council of a free people. The Tories have failed in their base attempts to distract the House of Commons by factious dissen tious, and by cavilling at the conduct of individual Members ; and the Government has wisely resolved to take the lead in carrying those measures of Reform demanded by the country. But although we are ready to admit that, in a na tional Point of view, the question of our relations with China becomes insignificant when compared with the secret treaty of Unkiar Skelessi ; the occupation of Cracow by the three Protecting Powers ;" the civil war in Spain ; and the aggressive movements of Rus sia iii the East and West—still, when it is capable of being put in a• fair way of re-adjustment in the course of one evening's debate, we consider it our duty to call upon the House of Commons to take the ear liest opportunity of deciding upon it. The naval and military force required for an expedition to China, with a view to compel some restitution for the cruel treat ment experienced by Lord NAPIER, would hardly be missed, even were we engaged in a war with Russia ; while the moral effect of such a proceeding would be to strike terror into the hearts of our enemies. The impression generally prevalent throughout Europe is, that the death of Lord NAPIER was not only accele rated, but caused by the Chinese authorities ; and until our Government takes measures to satisfy Europe that the Representative of a British SOVEREIGN may not be murdered with impunity, even by the Chinese, it is not to be expected that our threats shOuld inspire any sentiment but that of derision. It is high time that we should exact from the Chinese Govern ment the respect due to a civilized people ; and that, ii necessary, we should resort to such measures as would convince his Celestial Majesty the EMPEROR, and all the Mandarins in his dominions, that we were submis sive to the laws, not in consequence of our weakness, but of our love of justice ; and that if outraged in our persons or property we were sufficiently powerful to compel the redress of our grievances. We had written thus far on a subject in which we take a deep interest, when a pamphlet was put into our hands, published by '' Saunders and Otley," in the form of a letter from H. HAMILTON LINDSAY to Lord PALMERSTON, on the question of British rela tions with China. Mr. LINDSAY is well known as one of the most intelligent of the British residents at Canton, previous to the breaking up of the monopoly of the East India Company, in whose service lie then was. It is therefore with much pleasure that we observe the entire coincidence in the lines of polic) recommended by this gentleman, and those constantly maintained in the columns of The Sun. Not only does he propose the necessity of a war like expedition to China, to compel the Court of Pekin to make all the reparation in its power for the death of Lord NAPIER, but he even main tains that, prudently managed, that melancholy event may be made the instrument of obtaining concessions from the Celestial Government which will be of im mense advantage to all classes of British subjects. He suggests that the pretext for remonstrance thus afforded us should not be overlooked by any Government anxious to promote the commercial prosperity of this country. The following include a few of the most " prominent grievances" which he thinks we ought to insist upon having redressed, before the renewal of any further amicable relations with the Chinese autho rities :- 1. The use of opprobrious epithets both in edicts and pro clamations issued by the government, imputing to foreigners crimes and profligacy of the most atrocious and revolting character. 2. The undefined state of the duties—the real being in some instances tenfold the nominal. 3. The interdiction to hire warehouses and consequent in security of property, or to trade legally with any but the Hong merchants. 4. The exorbitant port-charges which effectually prevent small ships from trading legally at Canton. 5. The prohibition to trade any where but at Canton, being the port of the empire the worst adapted for extending our commerce, for the simple reason that the staple articles of export, tea and silk, are brought from the northern provinces at a heavy expense, while the equally heavy charges of con veying our woollens to the north, from an insuperable bar to any great increase in their consumption. 6. The regulations enforced relative to homicides. All the comparatively trifling personal grievances under which we labour, which are, however most galling and unne cessary, would vanish the moment we have established a claim to be respected by the Chinese, instead of being despised, as we are most deservedly at present. Mr. LINDSAY is of opinion that the coercion of the Chinese Government would only require a force consisting of one line-of-battle ship, two large frigates, six corvettes, and four armed steamers, carrying about 3,000 men. He recommends the greatest care to be taken to respect the property of the inhabitants, and merely to blockade the ports of Canton, Amoy, Shan ghee, and Teensin, so as to prevent all junks laden with rice and other necessaries from trading. He further suggests that the people should be everywhere informed that we had no quarrel with them ; and that we only sought justice, not less beneficial to them selves than to us. The naval and military force re quiredali th e f r o e r he worth notice. fo th re is t l e ) x o r p t e a i n l s t e o service u n i c s i e a r t l a r e k a i d n y g s n s c l a n r d c i e a l y ; As it is of the utmost importance that the cessation of our direct intercourse with China should not be of long continuance, we would recommend the employment of a strong naval force commanded by an officer of great experience, promptitude, and straightforward energy of character. A silken, powdered, cringing courtier would never do ; and still less a rude, unlette re d sa il o r, u tterly regardless of the feelings, habits, associations, ceremonies, and superstitions of a powerful oriental people.

The great dearth of intelligence this morning, from all quarters of the continent and the peninsula, causes a stagna tion in the operation of the funds, and at present there is very little doing. Consols opened at 91ii- for the Account, and 91a for Money. At present they are a shade better. Exchequer Bills 20 22 ; India Bonds 4 6.

Miss Kelly has built a complete theatre in the rear of her house in Dean-street, Soho-square, which it is esti mated will accommodate very conveniently, in the boxes, pit, and gallery, persons to the amount of 1001., at the prices of admission usually charged by the lessees of the minor theatres. Waterloo•bridge, which was estimated at 500,0001. cost nearly 1,200,0001., and from which the original subscri bers can never hope to receive orre farthing.—Southwark bridge was estimated at 360,000/., and cost upwards of 700,0001. ; and with regard to profits, the original s'ubscri bers are in a similar situation with those of Waterloo. —Vaux hall-bridge cost about 265,000/., and the whole dividends re ceived upon each original share, from the time of subscribing, amount to just Bs. 6d. per annum.—Hammersmith-bridge : the shares are selling at less than half price ; and the dividends have not exceeded 10s. per share. There is every reason to fear that the Clifton schooner, of 100 tons, Hyam master, with a crew of five hands, foundered in the late severe gales. She was bound from Ips wich to Liverpool.—Wilk Chronicle. THE TEA TRADE.—The deliveries of teas last week for home consumption were very large, and an increased demand also exists for exportation. The total clearances last week were rather above 646,0001b5. The private trade sales will commence at the end of the month. The new method of selling coals by the ton, instead of the chaldron, proves any thing but advantageous to the buyers in some parts of the country. At Southampton, for instance, the price between the chaldron and the ton is said to be only ls., while the difference in quantity is as 36 bushels to 27. INDEPENDENCE OF KILDARE.—The most stre nuous efforts are at present making in this county to secure the return of two popular candidates at the next election' whenever it may occur. On St. Patrick's day a very nu merous meeting took place in the town of Naas, in consequence of a placard addressed to the clergy, gentry, and freeholders of the county Kildare, by Mr. Peter Purcell, of Hallverstown. The meeting was held in the open air, and was attended by some thousands of the honest peasantry, and several of the most respectable and influential gentlemen of the county. A sad event occurred on the Bth of this month, on the road from Collioure to Port Vendres. A tin box, con taining from eight to twelve pounds of powder, intended for the use of the mines for levelling the road, suddenly exploded at the moment when the workmen, 18 in uumber, were sitting at their breakfasts, and the greater part of them were very se riously wounded. SPARROWS.—A curious ancient custom still pre vails in many country parishes, for the churchwadens to pay a premium to all persons destroying sparrows. According to the report of the Poor Law Commissioners, it appears that in one small country parish the sum so paid by the church wardens amounted, during the preceeding three years, to 541. ss. 10d. ; consequently, allowing 3d. per dozen (the sum usually paid), the number of sparrows killed during the three years in that parish must have been 52,600, and, allowing 12 sparrows to weigh a pound, the whole would give a weight of 4,8381b5., or three good horse loads of 1,4611b5. each, a quan tity which would have supported 55 paupers for 12 months, allowing each pauper half a pound of sparrows on three days in each week. CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 17.—Towards the latter end of November a Russian flotilla of one line-of-battle ship, one frigate, and a cutter, appeared off the coast of Circassia, between the ports of Sojak and Galenjick, and attempted a descent. The Circassians assembled to prevent their land ing, and it coming on to blow from the N. W. the squadron again stood out to sea. During the night the line-of-battle ship came on shore, and the following morning the frigate and cutter sent their boats and attempted to heave her off. The gale increasing, the frigate and cutter stood out to sea ; and the Circassians having collected in force, the line-of-battle ship was boarded and carried ; their prisoners were sent up the country, the vessel gutted and then burnt. The frigate and cutter returned, but seeing no vestige of their consort, stood out to sea again. A short time previous to this a cor vette, under English colours, appeared off the coast almost at the same place, and having come to an anchor, communicated with the shore, stating that they were sent by the English with stores of various sorts, the whole of which they were per mitted to land. The stores consisted of guns, with their trains, &c. complete, powder, arms, 7,000 sacks of flour, salt, &c. &C. The crew, consisting of 16 persons, the captain in cluded, then landed, and were immediately taken prisoners by the Circassians, who at oncg recognised the pretended Eng lishmen as Russian spies. An engineer officer of some rank was among the number. ROLLS COURT--(THIS DA THE BANE OF ENGLAND V. THE LONDON AND WESTMINSI 15 BANK. in this case, which was specially appointed for this ler e , i _ n g Sir F. Pollock, Mr. Wigram, Mr. Phillimore, and Mr. Bt e e r "_7 appeared for the Bank of England, and the Attorney-Gen Sir Wm. Follett, Mr. Pemberton, Mr. Kindersley, lvaind Sharpe, and Mr. Hayter, were Counsel for the London Westminster Bank. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK s tat te ect sent application was to obtain tate d an injhuncth object ion on behoaflftheef pry" Bank of England to restrain the defendants , the Direetelt;e9h:if the London and Westminster Bank from accepting on of that Company, any bill or bills payable at a less tim e t l h ao l l six months, or from borrowing, taking up, or owing ie El"g any sums of money on the bills or notes of the Company p a - d o _ able on demand, or at any less time than six months. Ili: t i o - d, plication was made on the ground that the course as ft e by the defendants was in direct violation of the Actstect: Parliament by which the Bank of England was constita_ and therefore illegal. The Bank of England was founded_t the year 1694, by a Charter granted in pursuance of the d 7 t of William and Mary, cap. 19. Shortly after that P e became apparent that it would be necessary to give We of of England protection against the rivalry and interferetice....o other banks, not for the sake of the Bank of England itse; but in order to give protection to public credit, which Wa g on , considerable danger in consequence of a number of Pe c t o f interfering and taking upon themselves to act as the Dar io " England had done, without having capital or sufficient los to the confidence of the country. Accordingly an c. t wa s passed in the Bth and 9th of William 111., by which it 0 , _ provided that no other bank, or Corporation i n the nature et; bank, should be erected or established by Ac t of PerVar°oe, within the Kingdom. The next Act was the 60 of as in and in that Act, after a repetition of the same word r ds the former Act, were for the first time intr oduced the With,ll upon which the present application was founded—" And it s 4 ,„ not be lawful for any body politic or corporate , erected or be erected, other than the Company of the Bank of Eng lali ni in Great Britain, to borrow, owe, or to take up any sere S money on their bills or notes, at any less time than six monthsa., Those words had been repeated in the various • Acts that b; been passed between the 6th of Anne and the 39th and 4 ° of Gee. 111. By the 7th of Geo. IV., certain partnersro, were permitted to carry on the banking business ; and t u . e r d. came the 3d and 4th of Will. IV. c. 98, the second and t ' i b e . sections of which were material for the consideration of t Court. That Act gave to the Bank of England c ertain V t . vileges for a limited period, under certain conditions; t B9 t ho also confirmed those privileges which had been giv en able Bank of England by the 7th of George the Fourth , however to termination, when the Government of the OS, try . thought proper to interfere, and put an end tog a e gain. The second section of that Act provided, in. no te' of the privileges of the Bank of England , no partnerseTe. of more than six persons should make any bill or .1 within 65 miles of London, payable at a less date tha n the months. Then the 3d section recited—" That whereas tuof intention of the Act is, that the Governor and Com Pa llet, the Bank of England should, during the period o f the `'ic, continue to hold and enjoy all the exclusive privileges of h, be & ing ; and whereas doubts have arisen as to the extent ot . bto exclusive privileges; and as it is expedient that those Lim should be removed, it is declared and enacted, that anYl.-00 politic or corporate, although consisting of more than of persons, may carry on the trade of banking in London, e within 65 miles thereof, provided they do not borrow , or take up in England any sum or sums of money on their bills or notes, payable on demand, or within six 1 ,4 fit, month: Upon these clauses the question in the case turned. No w• under the 3d and 4th of William IV., the defendants had established a Bank, called the " Lonon and Westreit, Bank ;" and on the 21st of February, 1835, a Bill 01 . a dnit change, a Bank of St. Alban's post bill, addressed to the 1443-Ed and Westminster Bank was drawn by a person nattle u ao of wards, for the St. Alban's Bank, payable to a gentleln 4; the name of Robertson, twenty-one days after date, for this bill was accepted by the London and Westminster 13;1100 and the question was, whether that was not a violatiOnf 00 exclusive privileges granted to the Bank of England 441 6th of Anne and the subsequent Acts. The defendants pied by their answer that it was a violation, and claime d the eius to do so. The Learned Counsel proceeded to refer to Or: e s au thorities to show that it was a violation of the pri/-1,-.`eoutut given to the Bank of England, and was addressing the when our reporter Ht. The case appears likely to occupy a day or tw o in 21 the ment, and seems to excite considerable interest atne °6 bankers of London, many of whom were present.
