EVENING EDITION. TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELEC TORS OF THE BOROUGH AND HUNDREDS OF AYLESBURY. GENTLEMEN, THE call which you made upon me I lost no titre in obeying, and announced myself at once a Candi date for your suffrages. . _ _ Although a Tory candidate had been before me in the field, 1 fiund so much spirit and energy in the Liberal party, that not a doubt of success could exist. But upon my arrival at Ayles bury this morning, I found Lord NUGEST had announced himself as a second Liberal Cardidate, and the strength, which united would have been irresistible, endangered by division. Lord Nugent having declared to my friends that nothing on earth should prevt.nt his going to the Pull if I did, I had no al ternatve but the one I have felt it my duty to adopt. I RE- E FROM THE CONTEST, leaving to Lord Nugent the duty of fighting the battle waleh I should have been but too hippy to have fought for you, and which I should hive won. Gentlemen, from my heart I thank those who hare come for ward so actively in my behalf; and I beg all of you to believe, that, if I had not deemed it my only to retire, you would have found in me an honest and a zealous Representative, anxious to serve you and promote your interest. On the next occasion, coma when it may, I shall solicit your votes. I lia.Ye the honour to remain, Gentlemen, You: very obedient Servant, W. G. CAVEr4DISH. Aylesbury, July IS, 1839.

Captain-General, as in Spain, and superseding all such inefficient authorities as Lords Lieutenant and Town Councils. The debate will be read with interest as concerns Birmingham ; but Lord BROUGHAM'S two petitioners, after his statement, were wholly forgotten. The Electors Removal Bill, being a good Bill, and of some advantage to the electors, was very appropriately thrown out by their Lordships, on the second reading, by 80 to 39. The Prisons Bill, which was committed, seemed to excite the interest of the Bishops, who attended in con siderable numbers beyond the dining hour. The clauses of the Bill were much discussed, the Prelates interfering about the books to be allowed in gaol, and such matters. The principal thing, however, was the clause which al lowed of Catholic Chaplains to be appointed to gaols, and the Right Rev. Prelates spoke learnedly and feel ingly on them, particularly the Bishop of EXETER, who supposes, contrary to all the experience of the Clergy of the Church of England,that a crop of believers will start wherever there is a Priest. Of course the Bishops were successful ; the clause allowing Catholic felons the comfort of Catholic Priests was thrown out by a ma jority of 73 to 34. The rest of the clauses were agreed to without discussion. The Custody of Infants' Bill was read a second time after a short debate, in which most of the legal Lords took part.—Adjourned at a Quarter past One. Mr. LEADER presented in the Commons a similar petition to that presented by Lord BROUGHAM in the Lords, which is to be taken into consideration on Monday. The Canada Government Bill was read a third tine and passed, after a short debate and a division, on which 110 voted for the third reading, and 10 against it. The Register of Births Bill was also read a third time. The House was occupied for a long period with the Summary Jurisdiction Bill, which some Members objected to proceed with it at this late period of the Ses sion. The House, however, went into a Committee on the Bill, and talked over the clauses at great length. Several other Bills were forwarded a stage, and we are happy to learn that the Postage question is to be further proceeded with on Monday, to make way for which the question of the Bank of Ireland was post poned from Monday till Wednesday. The Commons sat till past Oae o'Clock. Men, as well as many other animals, commit very foolish acts when under the influence of terror. It is right to remind our readers, particu larly of the middle classes, of this general fact at this moment, because there is some danger of their being driven by temporary alarm, caused by what we hope is only temporary madness, to ask for and adopt measures of lasting mischief. The Duke of WELLINGTON in the House of Lords on Tuesday, implied that, to repress the riots at Birmingham, measures of greater severity ought to have been employed. In the same debate Viscount MELBOURNE condemned, in strong terms, the public meetings which had been held, and the language used at them. He stated that he had long apprehended danger from them ; " but in the present state of the law, and present state of the country, he had not seen nor did he yet see the means by which these meetings could be put an end to." In the debate on the Education question, Lord JoHN Russr.r., concluded his speech on June 20th, by referring to the state of the people, and by taking credit to the Ministers for not having, at the commencement of the Session, pro voked an alarm on account of the proceedings of the Chartists, and asked, as other Governments, thirty years ago, would have done, f or th e suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act. We thought his conduct wise in not imitating the bad example of the Tories ; but we cannot avoid now suspecting, after what fell from him and Lord MELBOURNE, that the question of making some appeal to Parliament for more stringent laws, for a sort of Coer cion Act for England, has been debated in the Cabinet, and that the Ministers, not assured of support, shrunk from proposing any such mea sure. Now, however, when Birmingham has been set on fire, when great irritation has been evinced in several places, the Ministers would find, we are afraid, ample support were they to propose such a scheme. A temporary disaster may therefore be come the parent of a system of tyranny long con• tinned, and to warn our readers against calling for such a system, or lending themselves to support such a system, should it be proposed, under the impression of fear, is the object we have at prose in view. We must first again remind our readers that the immediate o u tb rea k at Birmingham is clearly to be traced to the injudicious and unwarrantable attack made by the Magistrates on the people in the first instance, and to their subsequent excessive confi dence, leading to the neglect of ordinary precau tions. Apart, then, from the general disposition of the working classes, which has been known for months and years, and which is the offspring of a variety of oppressive and unjust laws—such, for example, as the Corn-laws--apart, then, from that well-known disposition, this outbreak ought not to strike terror into the public, nor add in any de gree to their alarm, since it was the result of the conduct of the Magistrates. Such results cannot be avoided by coercive laws, which would place still more dangerous power in the hands of weak men, and will best be avoided by diminishing their power, or by placing it in safer hands. They warn us to require more circumspection from the Magis trates, not to demand coercive laws for the people. But we would, secondly, remind our readers, which is for us the chief consideration, that the out break is really a temporary ebullition ; and we must not allow it to make us forget the many years of patient and submissive suffering, and of general obedience, winch have really been, and will cer tainly be again, characteristic of the working classes. A coercive law, passed on account of a ruomentary outbreak, would be permanent ; arid thus, to repress a temporary evil, were we to act from the terror of the moment, we should forge a lasting chain for liberty. There is on the one hand, in the bulk of the people, including all classes, a strong and permanent desire for freedom, peace, and order, a strong and, generally speaking, overruling, and permanent respect for property on which the public may and must rely for the pre servation of the public peace, for if there were no such strong and permanent desires, laws would be of no more avail to preserve order than the speeches of Colonel SIETHORP or the rhodomontade of Mr. O'BRIEN ; and there is, on the other hand, in all our rulers, magistrates, legislators, and persons in authority, a strong and permanent. desire to ex tend and augment their power in any and every conceivable way. They are prompted by the most benevolent motives ; they always expect to use their authority for the public advantage ; they ge nerally mean to do so, but the uprightness of their intentions only makes them more persevering and strenuous in augmenting their power. What hap pens, therefore, and what has always happened in such cases, is this—the temporary outrage and temporary alarm make all classes forget these ge neral dispositions, both in the bulk of the people and in their Magistrates, and they hasten to de mand severe laws to meet this temporary circum stance, and so gratify the permanent desire of the Magistrates forpower, a n d so f orge permanent c h a i ns for the people. Such has been the growth of bad systems of Government in all ages. The foolish people, by giving way to temporary alarm, become the prey of their own fears; they permanently curtail 'their own liberty, and permanently misdirect those strong desires for peace and order, which are in fact the best guarantees for the safety both of life and property. The death of the S u lt an has furni s h e d a s t rong proof of their devotion, as in this court every accession to the throne was generally marked by a bloody reaction, or a revolution in the Seraglio. A young Prince has now taken the throne, of the age of about 17 years, without its being stained with blood, and for the first time the Seraglio will not have to strew the paths of the:.Empirc with the people's heads. A camp of 10,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry, is to be formed at Fontainebleau, on the 15th of August next, and not to break up till tE e 15th of October. The King and Queen of the BELGIANS were ex pected to arrive at St. Cloud's on a vit•it this day ( Friday). The 'Sentinelle des Pyrenees sap, " We learn that a Commissioner from the bead-quarters of ESPARTERO has arrived at Bayonne to receive ten millions of reals for the army, which it i 3 said are to be embarked in one of the steam-boats lately arrived here, and to be sent to Amurrio." There is no other news of any interest in the French Journals. BOURSE.---PARTS, WEDNESDAY, JULY 17.

Let the Lords beware how they attack—how they provoke it. The death of the SULTAN, and the policy which that event dictates the adoption of by Western Europe, principally occupy the columns of the French journals of Wednesday. The Journal des Debuts observes that it is the duty of the West to protect an emp:re which has fallen for having wished to equal it in civilivation, and to adopt and be the tutor of the young SULTAN. The Meseager states the question now to be—" Will the new Sultan, AEDU LEE MEDJID, be ruled by a Council or Regency ? If Russia's intrigues succeed in forming a Regency composed of a small number of per sons, her gold will render her mistress of the Turkish Government. But it; according to custom, by the care of England, Austria, and France, the younc , Monarch be directed by a numer o u s Di van , composed of thrty or forty Ridjals, taken from all classes of the nation, Russian corruption will not be able to find a place, or, rather, to use a homely expression, the mouthful will be too large for him." The Capitzde, the new organ of Russia, has likewise a string of surmises based on the assumption that Russia had as much right to sign the Treaty of Unkiar Skelessi as France and England had to form a quadruple alliance. But by far the most extraordinary article in the French Journals is the following attack upon Lord PONSONBY, our Ambassa dor at the Porte, which appears in the columns of the liberal, and generally well-conducted Courrier Fran. cats : " The minority of the young Sultan is a favourable cir cumstance to settle the differences between Mahmoud and Mehemet Ali. It is now easier to obtain for the Egyp tian ruler the hereditary possession of the Pachalick, with the only reservation of the annual tribute. But this ar rangement is only possible in the event of it s being gua ranteed by the Foreign Powers; and Russia, will she make common cause with the West ? Before entering upon such an important negociation, France has the right of asking from England, as a proof of the good understanding of the two Cabinets, the recal of Lerd Ponsonby. The inter est of England requires it as much as our own, and we have strong reasons to believe that if the English Ambas sador had kept to the letter of Lord Palmerston's instruc tions, the conflict now in Syria would not have taken place. Lord Ponsonby belongs to the break-neck school of diplomatists ; he is quarrelsome, intriguing, and jealous to an excess. His monomania consists, in despite of the alliance existing between Fiance and England, and which ought to be a law for their Ambassadors to act in con cert, in opposing Admiral Roussin for the sole object of taking the lead. It is known by what manoeuvres Lord Ponsonby caused the substitution of the treaty already prepared between the Porte and the two Powers for quite a different treaty of commerce, and which France was weak enough subsequently to sign. If Lord Palmerston had only taken the advice from his jougueux representa tive at Constantinople, he would not have expressed in the House of Commons the opinion that the two countries ought and would act in concert for the pacification of the Porte. This disunion existing between Lord Ponsonby and Admiral Roussin, which must be entirely attributed to the fantastic character of the former, gives a great ad vantage to Russia. Let us hope, therefore, that the ne cessity will be felt to remedy the evil. The diplomatic intervention of Europe in the affairs of the East may bring about a military intervention, and agents who can be de pended upon must be on the scene of action. The influ ence of France and England ought not to depend at this crisis upon so unequal and short-sighted a man as Lord Ponsonby." Never before, we believe, was Lord PONSONBY sup posed to belong to:the " break-neck school of diplo matists," and we have no doubt that the discovery of the French Journalist, will excite a good deal of merriment among his Lordship's friends. In England, where it is supposed that his Excellency's charac ter was quite as well known as in France, the prevailing impression has ever been that Lord PON SONBY belongs not to the " break-neck," but the " free and-easy,"—the " take-the-world-leisurely" school of diplomatists ; a good-natured, easy-minded, indolent Nobleman, who prefered at all times diplomatic dinners, and the enjoyment of elegant society, to diplomatic notes and closetings with formal turnip-complexioned dragomans, and soiled Cabinet couriers. If, there fore, Lord PONSONBY has not pulled well in harness with Admiral RoossiN, the cause is to be sought for not in personal or national jealousy, but in the restlessness of the fidgetty Frenchman, which disturbed the sedate ruminations of his Lordship, producing occasionally fits of that most irritable of distempers—indigestion. It is stated in the French Papers that the SULTAN, on his death-bed, shed tears for the Empire being so much threatened, as well as for his son, king so young, and surrounded with perils. He assembled the heads of the State, and begged of them, in a most affecting manner, to take care of the young Prince, as well as the• regeneration of the Ottoman Empire. They all took the oath that they would obey his desire, and serve the young Prince with fidelity. TILE FUNDS, In the course of yesterday there was a prevailing opinion among the monied interest and speculators in the Funds, that in consequence of the Bank Directors not having ob tained their price for the dead weight, they would raise the discounts to 6 per cent., but on a long discussion on the part of the Directors, they broke up at a late hour, without issuing any natice. The future operations on the part of the Bank respecting the dead weight are at present mere suggestions, and re ports on which no foundation can be placed.

AYLESBURY.—Mr. Cavendish, who bad started for this borough with an almost certainty of success, has deemed it right, in consequence of Lord Nugent having also started upon the Liberal interest, to leave the field, rdtheNupgaerntyt in m ra , t ik h e er d t ,, l f i e a a n t bceyrttaliinvi.dinTghtehceonstdruecntgothf Lord the matter is most inexplicable. He allows a Tory to start, and does not oppose him ; but the moment that Mr. Cavendish appeared in the field, out comes Lord Nugent, and in truth opposes the Liberal candidate. In such a borough as Aylesbury to fight two Reformers to one Tory would have been madness ; and as Lord Nugent declared to Mr. Cavendish's friends deputed to wait upon him, " that nothing on earth should prevent him going to the poll if Mr. Cavendish did," there was only one course for a sincere Reformer to adopt, namely, to withdraw from a fruitless contest. The votes that Lord Nugent must have polled would have ensured the return of the Tory. The electors of Aylesbury do not forget that at the last election Lord Nugent voted for Lord Chandos—he has now carried out that vote by preventing Mr. Cavendish's return. The only thing Lord Nugent can now do, if he do not beat the Tory candidate, is to turn Tory himself. CAUTION TO CLIENTS.-At Guildhall, on Wednesday a young man named George Wolfe, who has for some time past attended at various police-offices to defend prisoners, acting as clerk to an attorney, was charged with obtaining sums of money from a client under pretence of employing counsel, with intent to defraud him of the same. It appeared that on two occasions the accused had received of a widow named Harris sums of two guineas to pay as a retaining fee to Mr. C.

RAILWAYS IN GERMANY.—That part of the Taunus Railway which lies between Frankfort and nochst was opened cn the 7th instant. The first train started at five in the morning. The two places, formerly two hours asunder, have been brought within a distance of eight mi nutes ofeach other. On the same day (the 7th), the Em peror Ferdinand's Railway, from Vienna to Brunn, a dis tance of about ninet e en German ( e i g h ty -fi ve English) miles, was op ene d w i t h grea t so l eme i ty.. T he first train performed the distance in a few minutes over four hours The day appears to have beers celebrated, particularly at Brume as a civic feast, and the tickets which had been sold, were disposed of by the first purchasers of them at a con siderable advance, to those who were anxious to be able to new eilwa ) . We regret to find that the day did not pass over without an accident. In the evening, as one of the retureieg trains had stopped at a station to take in water, the lecornotive engine of the train next in succession ran into the hindmost carriage, by which means several per sons weee seriously hurt, though none dangerously. The engineer, to whose carelessness the accident was attributed, was immediately placed under arrest. UNLICENSED BROKERS.—On Wednesday notice was issued by the Lord Mayor, in consequence of complaints having been made to the Court of Aldermen that persons not duly qualified act as brokers in the City, contrary to the statute, and to the great risk of the mer chants and traders employing them. By an Act passed in the sixth year of the reign of Queen Anne it is enacted that no person shall act as a broker within the city of London unless he shall have been previously sworn in and admitted by the Ccurt of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, " under such restrictions and limitations for their honest and good behaviour as that Court should think fit ; " by a subsequent Act, passed in the 57th year of the reign of his late Majesty King George the Third, a penalty of 100/. is fixed for exercising the business without being duly admitted. Notice has therefore been given that the City authorities will prosecute any offenders ; and a re ward of 501. is offered to any one who will give evidence against them, so as to lead to their conviction. The Shropshire regiment of yeomanry cavalry have been called out for service in consequence of the fires end disturbances at Birmingham, to which place they were ord.. red to repair. The Montgomeryshire regiments are also ordered t o h o l d themselves in readiness. THE STOR M .-- Yesterday, the m e t ropo li s , par ticularly the W est-end, was visited by excessively violent gusts of wind, accompanied with thunder, lightning, and rain. While it was blowing a gale a lug-boat was sailing up the river, off Execution duck, Wapping, when, in en deavouring to get clear of one of the Greenwich steamers, which was going down the river at the time, the lug-boat ran over a skiff containing four persons. The party in the skiff was thrown overboard by the shock, the whole o them were, however, providentially saved by the water men, who put off t o t h eir assistance. At times it blew a perfect hurrica ne , and in Kensington Gardens and the three Parks consid era bl e damage was done, and in many instances the loss o f lif e was narrowly escaped. Several chimney pots in different parts o f t own were blown off th e roofs. In Fleet-lane, Farringdon.street, a large chimney pot fell with a tremendous crash into the street, close to where some children were playing, the whole of whom, however, providentially escaped unhurt. A REAL ABSENCE OF MIND CASE.—We learn from the Nenagh Guardian that, during the Sessions which are now going on in that town, a gentleman who had a case pending, previous to its coming on, locked up a material witness for the purpose of being certain of him when required ; the case earns on, the witness was called, b concerned was - present, and w on d er i ng a t th e a b sence of h iust witness, as o , icto vas not "n est ; and, though the gentle man ' not until the matter was dismissed that he recollected baying his man under lock and key. the case was a process case,,in which the absent gentleman was plaintiff. LONDON : FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1830. Earl STANHOPE last night presented a petition from some English Monks who had been established et Meilleraie, in France, and had been expelled. The No ble Earl wished for the production of the documents connected with their case, and Lord MELBOURNE con sented to give extracts from them. Some attempts, it appears, have been made to induce the English Go , vernment to demand compensation for the injuries these persons suffered, which the Government de clined, there being no ground for making the demand. Lord BROUGHAM presented two petitions, one from Mr. LOVETT, and the other from Mr. COLLINS, com plaining of the hard and even cruel manner in which they had been treated in Warwick gaol. Their clothes were stripped off, their hair was cut off, and they were subjected to all the indignities of felons, and to which even felons ought not to be subjected before trial. We will not abridge the narrative which these men give of their treatment, and which will be found at length in our Report both of the Commons and Lords, for similar petitions were presented in both Houses, but we will beg our readers to refer to that part of our Journal. In genera!, we are bound to say, that personal injury, or anything like spiteful malevolence, is seldom exer cised by the laws or by the authorities on individuals. In fact, the general reverence of the people for the law enables the law•makers to have completely their own way ; and to shut men up in dungeons, or torture. them in any other manner, would he gratuitous and wen ton cruelty. Tne authorities are not personally cruel in general, because they have not the least eccesion to em ploy cruelty to obtain their objects; but here certainly two respectable men—for that Mr. LoVZ.TT is a respectable man, and a man of great :eh nts, Mr. LEADER vouched, and we can back his certificate—cu;, here are two respec table men cruelly and babarously treated, who are not yet proved to have been guilty of any offence whatever. They were merely confined for safe custody to ens ver a charge, and were released on bail, when bail to satisfy the Magistrates was procured. We believe this will turn out to be another error of the Birmingham Ma ' gistrates. TLe petitioners ma k e no complaint of . the gaoler ; is imperative o n hi m to ma k e every person placed in his custody conform to certain rules. H e only made those geatlennen confor m to t h em, h e having no discretion. Whether the rules he judicious or not is at present beside the question ; but the Ma. gistrates who sent these men to Warwick gaol, ought to have known what indignities awaited them, and ought not to have committed them to that place. Well, the case of these two men was brought before the House of Lords, the tribunes of the poor, as calved by Lord ErzeasoitouGH—the defenders of the Con stitution and liberties of the people, as vaunted by the Times, and of course the reader expects this case ex cited the indignation of their Lordships ; that they rose as one man to denounce such vile treat ment of their humbler brethren. Does the reader expect this ?—then grievously will he be pointed. Lord BROUGHAM set forth the case elo, quently and feelingly; when he bad dose, the Earl of WARwreic referred to his oxn treatment by the Minis ters, and to it, ding-long, went their partizan Lord shins—not one of them, except Lord MELBOURNE, con descending to refer to the petitioners—into a great party quarrel. Viscount MELBOURNE gave another version of the riots. The Duke of WELLINGTON re newed and reiterat e d hi s complaints of the Min i sters and the Birmingham Magistr a t es , falling foul of the Ministers for havin g g i ven a Corporation ' to Birmingham and for having appointed the Magistrates. Lord LYNDHU RST quoted a speech of Lord JOHISI RUSSELL, and accused him of exciting dist urbances phy f .s o i . c r ! tt'ng, we think, that the people did not talk ot - oi aler Lord JOHN had spoken— andt. itel force i till they a mat ter of blame to the people thatto whaykewere formerly obliged to threaten the Tories, their p:ey, the libetties of the e rg d ettin , g nation them f let . go these thi ngs , Lord LYND:HURST reproached Ministers as the cause of the disturbances. Other Noble Lords mingled in the fray, their minds belie:. filled with alarm about Birmingham ; arid being more eager to expose a rival thin defend the poor. From them the hard case of Messrs. LOVETT and COLLINS received no consideration whatever, and to wage their ! party warfare they wholly neglected their clients the poor. The Earl of WARWICK, who took part in it, was at length told by Lord MELBOURNE that he ought to have gone to Warwick, but whether he be in Warwick or in London be will not much contribute, we appre hend, to preserve the peace. We thought wo he ard the Nobl e L or d sa y, th a t till Lord DexmAre expla ined his powers, he knew not that he possessed them. Su ch circumst ances ma k e us d ou b t t h e propr i etyof hav i ng Noblemen for Lords Lieutenant in these perilous times. They must, i n t h e majority of cases, be inefficient; and if we are to have a great system of coerc i on establ i shed, part of i t should consist in dividing the country into military districts, placing each under a Lieutenant or 1 141 E SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JU Y 19, 1839 THE MAR CORN EXCHANGE.

LIMES. —Not a word has been dropped to-day ( Thurs. sday) in any quarter to throw further light on the transac tions connected with the proposed sale of the" deadweight" annuity by the Bank. No new offers are likely to be made as the matter now stands, for all proceedings of the kind must be totally at random, so long as the minimum price which the Directors have resolved on is concealed ; and as it is understood that the brokers to whom it was communicated are under pledge not to reveal it, it is not likely that the Directors them selves will do anything to make the public the wiser on tic subject. This was board day' at the Bank, and some notice or other was eagerly looked for, either in relation to the dead weight or to a further increase in the rate of interest, but the day passed off silently. Their conduct in the business is univee. sally blamed, and they seem to be left literally with out an advocate. The plain course to be 'taken, if they really intended to bring the " dead-4eight" annuity to market, was to invite some of the leaders of the monied interest to a conference with them; to have stated how much of the dead-weight they wished to dispose of, and then to fix a day for receiving tenders, allowin g a proper interval for the f orma ti on o f li sts, as i n the case o Govern ment loans ; to have opened those tenders publicly, placing, if they thought proper, their own minimum price scaled up along with them, and, if none of the tenders came up to it, to offer the annuity at that rate to any of the contending lists: the price, if a fair one, would be sure to be accepted, or have led to a coalition of the bidders, making up, of course, a very strong list, and thus the affair would have 4P been disposed of. To make the purchase more easy, se as the Bank could not require the whole of the money at once, it might have been completed by instalments, and a scrip issued to represent those instalments. Till this step, or something of the kind, be taken, they will remain under the stigma —a very dangerous one for a 42 public body now on trial before the country.—of making a 48 false show of a sale, calculated to influence the money market improperly, in order to carry en ulterior obj ec t, 13 wholly distinct from it, of making money scarce and thus enabling them to hold on in security the valuable asset which they professed a desire to sell. No transaction of the kind, so shuffling, so evasive, as this would be, if this is the proper construction of it, has ever taken place, we are persuaded, with any other public body in this country. Some statements ere current in the city respecting the intentions of Mr. Spring Rice as to the charter of the Bank of Ireland, to the renewal of which great opposition is making on the part of all the other Irish banks. To a deputation from them, which waited on him in the course of the week, he is said to have stated that he intended to bring in a Bill to restrain all other joint-stock banks from issuing notes in a circle of fifty miles round Dublin, by which, of course, the most objectionable part of the Irish Bank monopoly would be re tained; but to qualify this he is to introduce a clause that the Bank of Ireland shall be compelled to fur nish all Joint-stock Banks within the fifty mile circle, and out of Dublin itself, with its own notes, on receiving an adequate security. Mr. Spring Rice means, it is added, to renew the charter of the Irish Bank for four years, making its further continuance dependent on the fate of the Bank of England in 1844; but providing, that if no material change shall take place in the latter, then the charter of the Bank of Ireland should run on for fourteen years. Some privileges of an indefinite nature, for Joint stock Banks generally, were hinted at, meant probably to reconcile them to this measure, but the deputation aro said to have left much dissatisfied, and to have expressed their determination to offer every opposition in their power to this measure. The quarterly meeting of the Bank Proprietors was held to-day, when, after the transaction of the usual rou tine business, and the motion of adjournment, Mr. Black burn attempted to put some questions to the Chair, with a view, as he stated, of obtaining information under the " peculiar circumstances" of the state of affairs of the Corporation. He was, however, overruled, and not per mitted to proceed, on the plea that there was no business before the Court, exceptieg the confirmation of the minutes of the former Court. PO appears by the accounts received from Man chester to-day that although there had been an advance of l id. per lb. on cotton received in the Liverpool market, that lower instead of higher prices had been offered for yarn. The feeling of both buyers and spinners seems to be to hold off doing business as long as possible,for the purpose of thoroughly crushing the American speculation in the raw material. To carry out this object with effect, the majority of the millowners have resolved upon keeping ,heir works upon short time for another month. The East India Company have given notice that they will nego!iate bills upon Bengal at the rate of 2s. the ru pee, and on the other two presidencies at 2s. old. ; and this is a reduction of rather upwards of six per cent. in favour of the merchants making remittances to our Eastern pos. sessions, an advantage which is of great importance at the present moment, when the interruption of the opium trade with China would otherwise render a considerable expor tation of silver indispensable. We have not been deceived in anticipating that there would be abundance of ignorant twaddle about the Direc tors of the Bank of England declining to accept the ten ders made yesterday for the purchase of a portion of the dead weight annuity. There is one short and simple answer to all these cavillings, namely, that none of the tenders were sufficiently high for them to accept, con sistent with their sense of duty. It is difficult to conceive upon what rational ground the accusation, can be made that the Directors of the Bank had no real intention of dis pt sing cf the annuity when they gave the notice, merely because they have not considered it prudent to disclose the terms upon which it had been previously determined to dis pose of it. It is quite enough for the parties to know that they have not made such offers as could be accepted, an every-day occurrence with public boards, without any per_ son for a moment attempting to impute any other motive than the inadequacy of the terms. The tirade against the Bank Directors put forth in the columns of one of our Co ntemporaries, that they had issued the notice to sell the an nuity nier._ ly for the purpose of exciting alarm, exclusive of its absurdity, is in excellent keeping with the statement that there is not now above a million of bullion in the coffers of the Bank. They we alike entitled to attention, as manifesting access to correct information, and sound logical deduction. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.
