InTENINg RDITI ON'. j PORT PHILIP IN 18 . 38, r BY. A VISITOR • ---- . ) • I Promised a long and full account of this place, but the-:iimited Period ..4 my visit"-prevents the fulfilment of 'such promise. I have, however, to mention, that I approached the Heads with feelings of an unpleasant nature, for reports were unfavourable as to its entrance.. Tl,e clear channel is about a-mile and-a-half ; the rate of tide, ~Tith its violent ripplinws, is not not near so bad as Placer, . have visited, such, '' for instance, as Calcutte, Dardanelles, Bosphorus, Pentland Frith, Queen Char ' lotte's Sound, and many other places ; it is nevertheless an awkward place for a ship to be becalmed, and it re- Taires a high and low light to render it serviceable to vessels in the night. The sands within the Heads also want buoys, which should be firmly built of pine or cedar, and he well-sheathed and eoppered. There are many parts within the Heads that require either buoys or beacons, and to render Melbourne river more accessible, buoys and beacons would be found bene ficial. A pilot stationed within Point Nepean would be of much service, and another at Gellibrand's Point is also necessary. The passage to Geelong river, and harbour, also requires beacons. Melbourne, the present capital, is a remarkable fine place for a township, and is surrounded with a truly de lightful country ; its climate and soil are far superior to Adelaide, and its natural resources hold out many more advantages to the capitalist as well as to the labourer. This place has been colonised by a few wealthy and spi rited members of the sister colonies, chiefly from Van Diemen's Land, and is as vet without a Governor, being almost unknown in England; it has never been puffed off in a collection of long speeches by practised orators at Exeter Hall. The bubbles blown at that place in favour of Adelaide, are extremely absurd and in jurious to the society. The founders of Melbourne are experienced colonists, whose knowledge of coloniza tion is too well known to need publication in handbills and n ewspapers , w i t h a l ong s h ow . o f M.P, ' s, and a, dinner at the Albion in Aldersg - ate-street. The pencil of the artist cannot add beauty to the surrounding scenery of Melbourne or Geelong, which will eventually show itself in colours equal to any in New South Wales, or its dependencies. However reports could be made that this place was destitute of fresh water, I cannot imagine ;.tbeee is a beautiful little river of excellent water flowing through Melbourne, which contains more water by nine-tenths than the creek at Adelaide, which is honoured by the name of the " River Torrens." The township of Geelong is also a very pretty place, with excellent soil, bat its fresh water is not convenient for shipping. I have little doubt but coals are to be found in the vicinity of Geelong, and if so, they will be of excellent quality. . Society i n M e lb ourne is much better than that of Adelaide, being entirely destitute of half swells, loun gers, &0., so prevalent in Adelaide ; nor is there any nonsensical party spirit, with caviling for office by a few individuals sent out under the patronage of titled men, and whose snlaries will neither find them in shoes to tramp their barren wastes, nor turn their pretty-bright button thread-bare-coats into new ones. When the word hotel was announced to me on my way to Melbourne, I pictured to myself a little weather boarded house, or a bark hut, or some such as I had seen in Adelaide ; but judge my surprise when I looked at a building something like the Bush Hotel, Picca dilly—the fittings up are certainly less costly, but upon the whole, there are two or three houses in Melbourne capable of entertaining noblemen. Buildings generally arc very much superior in Melbourne than in Adelaide; in the former place there are neither canvass tents nor wigwams.—i n a few words, I beg to say that Melbourne is to Adelaide what gold is to dross.—Port Philip Grzette. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS The spring, which is just closing, has been one of the coldest and driest that we have had for some years. It has been remarkable for nearly two months of easterly winds, which winds are in this country always accom panied with dry weather and blighted vegetation. Until within about ten days of the present time, all the crops were looking very ill ; but since then a great im provement has taken place, especially in the corn crops, which are now nearly as flourishing as we ever saw them at this season of the year. They have in a great measure recovered their colour, and as the plant is thick on the ground, and the quantity sown very great, we look with considerable confidence for an abundant harvest. The wheat has got cover enough to grow without much rain, and yet the ground is in such a state that a great quantity of rain would not injure it. A friend of ours, an experi enced farmer, who has just returned from Somersetshire, informed us yesterday that he had never seen the wheat crop looking better at this season than it does at presen :.'o - y; the whole distance between that county and Lan. J shire. The oat crops have also improved greatly dur• the last ten days, and the potato crop has never rooked more promising in our recollection. The turnip crops have suffered a good deal from the long drought a;,d the cold winds, but mild showery weather would soon set them right again. The pastures are very bare, and the hay crop, whatever weather may come, will be very light in this part of the country ; the clover having been cut down by the frosts, and the grasses kept back by the drought. In the south and west of England the apple bloom has been much cut by the frost, but there is a promise of a good crop of apples and ofstone fruit in this part of the country.—Liverpool The late favourable weather of alternate rain and sun shine has produced a most desirable change in this county, and all ground for alarm for the growing crops , may now be considered at end. The wheats generally were never looking better ; this may also be said of other kinds of grain. The grass has surprisingly im proved, and in some grounds the swath will be very heavy. —Worcester Journal. The wheat crop in this part of the county is looking very well, but the oat crop would not be worth cutting were it not for the late rains ; as it is, it is very back ward. The potatoe crop was beginning to fail in some places, in consequence of the continued dry weather but is now coming on again. —Limerick Chronicle. 11 - Glatt - istone, a Liverpool merchant, has con , tributed the munificent sum of 5,000/. towards the erection of a new church at Liverpool, besides endowing it with a Perpetual annuity of 100/. towards the maintenance of a minister. IDIOSYNCRACY OF HOUNDS.—.There is, in the human constitution, what is by medical and learned men termed idiosyncracy—a fine long word, meaning a peculiarity ; I should perhaps say individuality —requiring separate and distinct treatment. The plain English may be found in the old saying, that " what is one man's meat is another man's poison." In the discovery of this pecu liarity in the human system consists the skill of the physician superior to the common run of ordinary practioners, upon general principles. There is no less in bounds an idiosyn tracy—a peculiarity in their several dispositions, which re quires the skill of the Professor to cope with. Some young hounds. enter instinctively —fro m their first to their last appearance in the field—they do no wrong—they commence with the:scent to which they were born, and afford a moral to being s of a higher class, in their devotion, through their lives, to the purposes of their creation. Others, equally good, will take no notice of anything, will not stoop to any scent during the first season, and are still slack at enter ing even in the second, but ultimately are distinguished at the head of the pack; and such, I have always observed, last some seasons longer than the more precocious of the same litter. Others have an almost inveterate propensity to run anything and everything, by scent or view, and act alto. gether on the voluntary principle as soon as they are emancipated from their couplings. A love of hare will deccend, in particular blood, through generati will occasionally demo ns t rate itself, especially oons, steady and bad scentin g days, when a h oun d t h at i s at any time uteady must and will run something; but the same hound, when settled to a fox, may be invincible.-- The Noble Science, by Mr. Dehne Radelfes. LIE DEAD ALIVE.—An inquest was held 0), Wednesday, at the Ship Inn, Warrington, touching the death of a man found drowned in the River Mersey. John 'Soden deposed to having found deceased in the water, isith a carpet bag, tied by his neckerchief and a piece of sizing, round his neck. Mary Bevan said that she had Seen the body, and could swear positively that it was John Cole, of Chester, who was in the habit of indulging in drunken sprees, and leaving home for two or three weeks at a time. Mr. Jones, the deputy constable, was quite sure that the body was that of John Cole. Mr. Cole, the Governor of the House of Industry, had no doubt but the body was that of his brother John, but it was in such a state of decomposition, that he would not undertake to swear to it.. At this stage of the business a very unex pected witness made his appearance, being no less a person than the J. Cole, upon whose remains an inquest was then holding. John Cole said that he had heard that an in quiry was then going on to ascertain how he had come by his death, and therefore, he thought it was but right he should show himself, in order that the Coroner and Jury might be satisfied that he was alive. The dismay of the witnesses--the surprise of Mr. Jones, the deputy con stable —and the amazement of the Coroner and Jury may be easily imagined. The proceedings were again com menced, the Jury being sworn to inquire touching the death et a man (name unknown), when a verdict of Pound Drowned was returned. John Cole's brothers, who are highly respectable men, were so satisfied of the deceased belonging to the family, that they had made the necessary arrangements for his interment in St. Paul's Church. John Cole accounted for his absence from War rington by stating that his money was all gone, and he had wandered about the fields in the hope of finding employ merit, being ashamed to return to his family. PLAIN S OP TROY.—The poetical idea of the plains Troy, t h e arena of Homer's battles, is frequently disturbed in passing the flat, sandy, and marshy ground, by geeing its inhabitants —the buffalo, with all but its head i low streams e ti d d io o _swamps, the heron feeding in the shat. than that of the trogs, whose voices certainly vary more chahrother animal, sounding at different times like crying great :) barking dogs, pigeons, and crows ; and when in tilneun.lbers, producing a harmony almost as agreeable as ilosinging of birds.

E SHOOTING ICI#LAdk7IAN DECLARED'' A MERE , ASSAULT, In our report of law proceedings in the Surrey Assize Court-, is given the trial of'fone James Davis, for felo niously and maliciously firing at, And wounding, one Thomas Edwards. The whole case is one of striking importance, calculated to raise the gravest apprehen sions of every thinking man in the community. It appears that Edwards, a common labourer on a plantation in St. David's, had been sued for rent of the hut and ground he occupied—that 'judgment had been obtained, and a warrant placed in the hands of the con stabies of the district. That when the constables went to execute this warrant, they found that Edwards was concealing himself in the house of another labourer, named Beckford. That they ordered him to come out, and on his refusing to comply,' they threatened to set fire to the house, for the purpose of dislodging him ; a threat which we have every reason to believe they would unhesitatingly have carried into execution. Edwards, however, on hearing this threat ran out of the house, and was making his escape, when the ruffian constable fired at him, , and wounded him in the back. The shot brought Edwards to the ground, and while lying prostrate in his wounded condition, the other con stable, Petineau, rushed upon him and held another pis tol to the poor matis eye, whilst they put him in irons, and barbarously tied him with ropes. Wounded as he was, they kept him in irons till the following day, and he was then conveyed—whither, would the reader suppose? to the House' of Correction ! where the parochial authorities 'pretend they have set apart one room for the confinement o f p ersons arreste d f or d e b t ! meaning, , ‘ of course, exclusively for the accommodation of ",black" debtors. Here was this un f or t una t e man k ept a c l ose pr i soner for the space of four days without a morsel of food being given to him ! Providentially, this atrocious outrage came to the knowledge of the upright Stipendiary Justice of the adjoining district, or to a moral certainty it would never have been brought to light. Captain Kent repre sented the case to the Executive—an investigation was ordered—and the result was, the institution of a cri minal prosecution against the constable who had so wantonly endangered the life of an innocent fellow creature. The case was brought before the Court on Thursday week—the facts clearly proved, without the slightest attempt at contradiction, and in the face of this evi dence, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty—not of malicious shooting, with intent to do some grievous bo dily harm, but of "an aggravated assault ;" and the Court passed the lenient sentence of three months' im prisonment! • Now, we seriously ask the publie, if it is to he en dured, that because a black man stands indebted to a white man in the sum of a few dollars, for the rent of a wretched hovel, he is to be fired at like a dog—to be put irons, and afterwards imprisoned without food for the space of four days ! And we ask, if the verdict of the Jury fairly meets the justice of the case, and if it be calculated to give a fair measure of protection to the lives and liberties of our labouring population. We would further put it to the consciences of the Jurors who returned that verdict, whether they would have so decided the case, had the injured party been of a different rank and grade in society ! Sup pose for example, it had been Mr. Hugh Fraser Leslie, instead of Mr. Hugh Fraser Leslie's te nant, who had stood indebted for rent of pre mises ; suppose the Constables and Deputy Mar shalls had traced him to the house of a friend or neighbour, and had threatened to set fire to the house in order to get at him ; and suppose on endea vouring to effect his escape, he had been deliberately fired at, and severely wounded ; and then under fero cious threats of further violence, put to the additional torture of being manacled and tied with cords. We say suppose this infamous outrage had been per petrated on the person of that highly respectable and popular member of the community, _Mr. Leslie, and we solemnly ask the Jury if they would have been content to pronounce such outrage a mere aggravated assault ? We think not. We have heard it whispered that the constables had received directions from a certain quarter to make use of their fire-arms, in case of any attempt to evade the execution of the warrant ? But let that pass ;we know, from our own knowledge, that the authorities of St. David have ever been prompt and ready to screen every outrage inflicted on the labouring population, by any petty tyrant, in the shape of a parish constable. ADDRESS OF THE CORPORA TIONS OF BILBOA TO THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. The Lord Mayor has received the following address, on the subject of the wretched condition of Spain " Most Honourable Sir, " The three Corporations representing the most noble and the most loyal signory of Biscay and its capital, the most noble, most loyal, and most renowned town of Bilboa, the provincial deputation, the muni cipal body, and the Royal Board of Trade of this town, address your Lordship with feelings of heartfelt joy, and offer you the good wishes and expressions of gratitude of their citizens. "It has been made known in this town that your Lordship, with most of the worthy Aldermen of that City, and many of its most , respectable inhabitants, had presented an address to Lords Melbourne and Palmerston, Secretaries of State to the exalted Queen Victoria, beseeching the Government of her Britannic Majesty, together with its power ful allies, to put an end to the barbarous struggle which is at present consuming us ; and the news of this address has given our countrymen so much satisfaction, so profound is the gratitude, and such are the hopes to which it has given birth, that the Corporations who ad dress your Lordship cannot find words to express it. Yes, most Noble Lord, our citizens, so long bound by interests, intercourse, and sympathies to the warlike sons of Albion, cannot help seeing with extreme plea sure that their friends the English pity their misfor tunes, and entreat the only efficacious remedy for their evils. " Demonstrations of attachment and sympathy are ever consolatory to the unfortunate, and few can num ber greater calamities than those experienced by the loyal Biscayans, or display more frank and heartfelt affection for the inhabitants of England. The steps taken by your Lordship and so many distinguished Englishmen must naturally have given them inexpres sible pleasure and extraordinary consolation. " It is high time to think of terminating this fratri cidal struggle, which is devouring us, and it is most noble and generous of the English to be the first in pub licly acknowledging so urgent a necessity. Our nation is threatened with annihilation, and for the time des stroyed. Its fields are a desert, its edifices fallen into ruin, and everything bespeaks desolation and misery. Should this destructive war be much longer protracted, Spain will he converted into one vast desert, and her few remaining inhabitants into living models of barbarism and immorality ; to such a pitch ferocity and discordant passions let loose would carry her. " Bilboa, which up to the present time was consi dered unsullied and spotless—Bilboa, which, notwith standing all the calamities of war it is still enduring, has not for five years uttered the slightest complaint to the Government, or exhibited in its thousand battles any disorderly scene, may perchance, if the conflict con tinue, become the victim, nay, the accomplice of the sanguinary excesses which have too long degraded the Spanish character. Such an idea strikes us with hor ror, and as your Lordship and those who have indulged in such philanthropic sentiments, have sought to avert such disastrous consequences, these corporations owe you, and rejoice to pay you, the tribute of their eternal gratitude. And how can they forbear ac knowledging so signal a favour ? How can a country completely torn asunder by civil war ever forget it ? Bil boa is panting for peace, because, for five years has its . population been va n i s hi ng , an d th e bl oo d o f i ts sons has flowed in torrents. Its commerce, principally English, is entirely paralysed, and its capital is greatly diminished. Peace—honourable peace—is what the loyal Biscayans aspire to, and what the heroic but unfortunate sons of the never-yet-conquered Bilboa wish for - with so much anxiety. " The representation made by your Lordship and the generous Englishmen who have signed it has entirely met their wishes, and awakened in their breasts hope for the relief of so many misfortunes. " May, therefore, your Lordship receive, and be pleased to communicate to the Gentlemen who signed the address which has called forth the present one, the sincere thanks which they subscribe, and they trust that your Lordship and your worthy colleagues will con stantly adhere to the noble sentiments which have guided your philanthropic conduct. " May God have your Lordship many 7ears in his holy keeping." FIRES IN LONDON.—From the returns made by the fire brigade to the Fire Insurance Offices, it ap pears that during the last three months no fewer than one hundred and fifty fires have occurred in the metropolis and its vicinity, three out of which have been attended with serious destruction of property. lire number of lives lost during the period in question is seven. On Thursday an alarm of fire was given at Messrs. T ruman, Banbury, and Co's brewery, in Brick lane, Spitalfields. I t was f ound, upon inquiry, that in one of the buildings in which an immense quantity of malt is kept, some of the grain had caught fire, in consequence of the overheating of the stove. The discovery of the acci deht, however, was made in time to save the great bulk of and that p ort i on of it which bad ignited being s t , b n e a m ra alt, ted from the rest, the fire was extinguished with little further damage. OSNABURG, JUNE 6.--W e are here very cu rious to see what measures the Cabinet will adopt against the Judge whose business it is to decide in cases relative to the non - payment smugglers, and th e more especially as noto rious to their own great aston i shment, have of taxes, lately bee n a cq u itted by him.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—The weather has for the last ten days been exceedingly fa ♦ourable to the growing crops, the atmosphere having been warm and genial ; much fine rain has also fallen, which has proved of essential benefit to all kinds of spring sown corn, and done much good to meadow lands. The young wheat plant is non everywhere in a very luxuriant condition, and the appearance of all other description of grain has undergone a wonderful improvement within the last fortnight. In some of the more forward parts of the county, the wheat is already coming favourably into ear.— , Dorset Chronicle. COURT CIRCULAR.

We were favoured on Saturday with a private view of some of the performances at this place of amusement, which opens for the public this day. They consist chiefly of the illusions and magical effects of optical science ; photogenic drawing, or the new art of shadow fixing ; a view of the spots on the sun with extror dinary phenomena, by means of instruments of great power ; electrical experiments, by one of the largest electrical machines ever constructed ; the wonders of creation as exhibited by a powerful solar microscope ; the magic mirror, producing optical combinations, and a succession of beautiful scenery ; and I,:st and least, the" Haunted Cavern," in which attempts are made to exhibit some of the geological revolutions of the earth that have taken place since the reign of chaos and eternal night." The effect produced by this was not good, whether arising from the state of the atmosphere, or from some original defect, we cannot say, but unless materially improved, this part of the exhibition will hardly repay the trouble of a descent into the " Caverns of the Colosseum." Owing to want of sun, some of the exhibitions did not take place, the solar microscope was supplied with artificial light, and even the vast power of electrical apparatus was unable to overcome the effects of the present state of the atmosphere. Yet with all these disadvantages the results were wonderful. The " forked lightning of Heaven," the i more common and more gentle flash seen streaming in a thunder-storm from cloud to cloud, and the darting and flickering rays of the Aurora Borealis, were imitated most admirably. One experiment excited great ap plAuse. One of the assistants, placed on an isolated bench, held in one hand a cup with spirit of wine, the ether being connected by means of a conductor with the machine, and with two or three strokes the electrical fluid passed through his body and ignited the spirit. The following minute description of this remarkable machine, will be interesting to our scientific readers It is the largest that has ever yet been constructed, and consists of a glass plate of seven feet diameter, the thickness of which is under half an inch. So large a glass was very difficult to secure on the metallic axis, so as to prevent it slipping round from too loose a hold, or cracking from too tight a one. To obviate this difficulty Mr. Clarke had six separate discs of plate glass placed on the axis, three on each side of the great plate. The interior ones are 18 inches ; the next, 13 ; and the outer pair, 9 ; giving an extra thickness to the midst of the glass plate of 21 inches. By these means the metal flanges outside all were screwed up with safety to the great glass plate, and all cemented, side by side, with Canadian balsam. The plate is put in motion by a wheel and pinion in connection with a crank. The exciting cushions are formed of leather, stuffed with flannel and tin foil in alternate layers, hav ing large silk flaps for guiding the electricity to the col lecting forks of the conductor. These cushions are framed on wrought iron, contrary to all previous prac tice, in consequence of some experimental discoveries of Mr. Clarke. There are only two of these rubbers (instead of four as usual), one at each side and oppo site to each other, presenting altogether rubbing surfaces of four feet six inches. This new arrange ment has been adopted by the inventor to develope the effects of quantity alone, instead of attempting by the formation of a compound machine on the ordinary plan to produce the effects of intensity, also an erroneous economy of apparatus, as the present experiments satis factorily illustrated. The arrangement of the positive conductor is also quite novel, being a sphere of zinc 5 feet diameter, supported by 4 glass pillars, each 5 feet 6 inches high. It is set in a mahogany frame, which has 4 wheels travelling on a rail-road, so as to enable it to be guided with ease to and from the plate. From the conductor branch twe brass arms, with a universal joint that affords the experimenter every facility of ad justment. These arms are set in motion by means of silk strings passing over pulleys attached to the ceiling. The negative conductor in contact with the rubbers is also a zinc sphere three feet in diameter, supported by a massive glass pillar. The battery consists of twelve green glass carboys, each ten gallons cipacity, set in two boxes on wheels, and also moving oa a railroad The entire arrangement of it is unique and has a moss imposing effect. The microscope, even with the artificial light, repre sented animals'ahnost invisible to the naked eye as large as common-sized alligators, but owing to the haziness of the day and to the surcharged state of the atmosphere, we must defer a more full account of the exhibition till a more favourable opportunity. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Times of this morning, alluding to Lord Brougham's new Beer-Bill, expresses itself in this slap-dash, unceremonious style :—" These beer shops, it seems, won't do. Not that they are com plained of by brewers or distillers—not that they are they are objected to by their humble frequenters —not that they are stigmatized as nuisances by neighbouring householders—not that they are proved to be private dens for gambling, intemperance, or prostitution—nothing of the kind ; but because three Parliamentary inquisitors who had been ap pointed' to watch their landlords have found that their works, like those of the Asiatic Church, "are not perfect," forth comes Lord Brougham, as an apostolic censor, denouncing their unconsecrated pewter, indignant at their Sabbath profanation, shocked at their shabby furniture, excommunicating them from civil ordinances, insisting that their goods shall be despoiled, and proposing that these publicans and sinners shall undergo the last penalty of con f2ssorship by an exterminating auto da fe, a few months hence, without a reserve for repentance, and without the benefit of shrift." The Morning Post observes, with reference to the Report of the Select Committee of the Com mons appointed to inquire into the question of privilege involved in the case of Stockdale v. Han sard :—" There is one, and only one, suggestion of the Committee which seems entitled to respectful consideration, and that is the recommendation to legislate with a view to place the privileges of Parliament upon a solid and intelligible basis, and, as a necessary consequence, to put an end at once and for ever to all vague, undefined, and doubtful pretensions of privilege which can never by possibi lity be useful for any other purpose than as they may occasionally serve for apologies and instruments of tyranny." The Morning Chronicle, discussing the ques tion of the Ballot, observes as follows :—" The Vote by Ballot has been stigmatized by such epi thets as false and treacherous. The terms may be much more fitly applied to open voting, under the circumstances which too frequently characterise the elections of Members of Parliament. A false suf frage belongs to the foulest class of falsehoods. We call that a false suffrage which violates the opinion of the elector. If his own thought be, that A is better qualified than B for a representative, in voting for B he tells a lie ; a disgraceful and perni cious lie. Nor is the act less a lie because he has promised to tell it. The promise to tell a lie can not transform it into a truth, any more than the promise to pick a pocket can transform theft into honesty. Nor can the time for deliberation, and the sinister motive which induced the promises, alter the character of the transaction. It is, in it self and essentially, a falsehood ; and that, too, where truth is pre-eminently due from the voter, to his own conscience, his country, and his God." The Morning Herald contains the following remarks on the Metropolis Police Courts Bill : " This Bill, as it now stands, and the Bill to re duce the Lord Mayor of London, the Aldermen and Commons to the degraded and servile condition of a Board of Union Workhouse Guardians, exe cuting the arbitrary will of Home-office Commis sioners, were both emanations of that thing called the Metropolitan Police Committee, of which Mr. Benjamin Hawes was Chairman—Chairman did we say ? Why, we have it on the authority of Sir Matthew Wood, who, in his altercation with the bustling little Lambeth Lycurgus the other day, let out some of the 'secrets of the prison-house' which ought to have been given to the public sooner, that Mr. Hawes was often the whole Com mittee in himself. Here was the multum in parvo indeed—the much in little, or rather the many in one. Here was Benjamin the ruler' in the cha racter of a great Parliamentary Committee, cutting and hacking to his fancy the. system of adminis trative justice of this great country, and carving the civic constitution of London into convenient slices of Home-office patronage, of which, no doubt, he would himself have hade the lion's share.' " The The Advertiser thus speaks on the subject of a projected Commercial Bank of London : " The startling announcement that :he Bank of England had refused to discount- mercantile bills, endorsed by Joitt Stock Banks, solely because they were so endorsed, though accepted by the first bankers of London is promptly met by the long projected and now imperatively called for establishment of a Joint Stock Bank in London, in shares of one thousand pounds each, with 500/. paid up, under the title of the Commercial Bank of London As this great Bank (which will necessarily exclude all those little speculators, in shares that have lowered the confidence of the country, as to the invariable soundness of ,the Joint Stock system) will, doubtless, draw to itself, consolidate, and act for the higher order of Joint Stock Banks throughout the kingdom, the public will soon see how long the Bank of England can keep up its dangerous pretensionS to regulate and govern the currency—attempting to crush, whenever it thinks proper, all rivals near its throne. What, in fact, is the Bank of England itself but a Joint Stock Bank ? Why should it seek to devour its own offvring ? What claim has it to the eyes of Argus and the hands of Briareus—the power of seeing, and the ability of controlling, all the com mercial and manufacturing interests of the king dom ? It will now be met in a manner worthy of the - great system it has presumed to set at defiance. The Commercial Bank of London is no wild or mushroom speculation. It is founded on a basis that has been well tested in the impor tant town of Liverpool. The Royal Bank of Liverpool in shares of 1,000/. each (500/. being paid up) has in three short years risen to 50 per cent. premium, while the stock of the Bank of England has been as rapidly falling. The time has come at last, when the eyes of the country are opened to the reckless and ruinous con duct of the Bank—alternately inflating and collaps ing the currency to suit its own interests. The system of the Commercial Bank of London will create a confidence which the Bank of Eng land will find it impossible even to destroy or shake, and the more especially when the contemplated union of the Banks in the provinces and in Scot land takes place. It is only necessary to peruse a pamphlet which has been privately circulated, and which we shall endeavour to notice at greater length when we have more room, to see the vast public and private advantages resulting from the establish ment of such a Bank as that contemplated, and also to take a retrospect of the unsound and ruinous system of banking as previously pursued. One fact contained in a table at the end of this pamphlet is worth many arguments—about 120 private Banks (the names of which are given) have merged into and become Joint Stock Banks within the last few years. May we humbly ask Why? We pause for a reply. FLEETS IN THE MEDITER- RANEAN. TOULON, JUNE 9.—" The Porte has seven ships of the line :—The Sultanieh, of 110 guns; the Fevzieh, 96 ; the Tenifieh, 96 ; the Menduhieh, 96; the 1' elthieh, 94 ; the Tevfikieh, 90 ; and one, the name of which is not known to me. Eight frigates :—The Nizamieh, 64; the Hadieh, 64; the Torriri B.chri, 60; the Surieh, 58; the Noviki Bachri, 56; the Naidi-zafer, 50; the Avnilah, 46 ; the Mirati- zafer, 46. Four brigs of 20 guns each, two cutters, and two steamers. Total, 23 well-armed and well equiped vessels. "'The Egyptian fleet comprises 12 ships of the line, without names, but numbered from 1 to 12 ; four frigates, four sloops, three brigs, and one steamer. In all 24 vessels, not so well built as those of the Sultan, but fully equal to them in every other respect. The Russian fleet in the Black Sea is composed of two 120 gun ships, the Paris and the Warsaw; one of 110, eight of 84, three of 74, eight 60-gun frigates, four 44-gun frigates, five 24-gun sloops, and a considerable number of small vessels—in all, a fleet of about 50 sail. The French fleet under Rear-Admiral Lalande consists of four ships of the line : —l' Jena, l'Hercule, le Triton, and le Jupiter; one sloop, la Favorite ; and one brig, le Bougainville. The English fleet, under Admiral Stopford, comprises eight ships of the line ; the Princess Charlotte, 104 ; the Rodney, 92 ; the Talavera, 74; the Bellerophon, 80 ; the Minden, 74: the Asi:‘, 84; the Vanguard, 80; and the Pembroke, 74 ;—two frigates : the Castor, 36 ; and the Talbot, 28 ;—the Tyne sloop, 28 ; and the Jaseur brig, 16. FINE ARTS. THE GREAT SEAL OF ENGLAND. We have here a print of the Great Seal of England, en graved by Freebairn,.with Bates' patent anaglyptograph, and appropriately dedicated to the Lord Chancellor. There is infinite spirit in this engraving, which, of its kind, is one of the most masterly we have seen for a long time. The figure of the horse, on which the Queen sits with such with the graceand an q a u t i o e m t y di o g f nit t y h , a s t h a o n w i s m a a ,perfect acquaint ance •and the limbs are rounded, and swell out so boldly, that one can scarcely believe that they are drawn on a flat surface of card-paper. There is another engraN in.., in which her Majesty is repres en t e d as sitting on her ' t h ron e with the emblems of So vere i gnty in her hand, and Justice hold ing the seals, and the sword of Mercy on one side of her, and Religion with the cross and the Bible on the other. This is, if possible, superior to its fellow print, and does great credit to Mr. Freebairn's skill and high finish of execution. The Hon.

The Canterbury Tories have been amusing themselves and deceiving the public with assertions that Lord Albert Conyngham will not be proposed on the Li. beral interest, as Member for that city, in the event of a general election. We are enabled not only to give a posi tive contradiction to this statement, but to add that he will be associated with a gentleman whose return will relieve the city from the odium of a neutralised representation. LETRENDY CASE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT OF SESSION. (From the Edinburgh Courant of Saturday. ) Yesterday the Ccurt met again on this case, pursuant to adjournment on Wednesday. From an early hour the Court was crawded to excess, and every door and avenue was blocked up by people anxious to hear the sentence. The ministers entered the Court about a quarter before eleven, and took their places at the bar. They were again accompanied by Dr. Dickson, Dr. Gordon, and Dr. Makellar, of Pencaitland. As Dr. Gordon and Dr. Ma. kellar entered, a suppressed hiss ran through the Court ; the same symptom of disapprobation was repeated when Dr. Gordon followed, which was answered by applause and cries of same. • Their Lordships entered soon afterwards, and rook their seats on the bench. They were all present, with the ex.: ception of Lord Glenlee, who has been indisposed for some time. The LORD PRESIDENT then addressed the partres and said—Gentlemen, when you were last before the Court, I read over to you the interlocutor which the Court had pronounced in your case, on the complaint of Mr. Clark, and I then asked if you had anything to say, either thy yourselves or your Counsel, in explanation or vindication of your conduct; and accordingly, on that occasion, ti.e Rev. Michael Stirling, in name of himself and of his bre thren in the Presbytery, gave in a written statement to the Court of what they had to say ; and the Rev. Andrew Kessen also made a statement on his part. Those state ments and the whole circumstances of the case the Court have bad under their most anxious and deliberate consi deration, and I think may add, their indulgent considera tion : and they have come to the resolution of pronounc ing judgment in the case, and they have directed use to pronounce the same. You will, therefore, now attend to the judgment of the Court. " 14th June ; 1839. " Having resumed consideration of the petiticm and com plaint at the instance of the Rev. Thomas Clark, with con currence of her Majesty's Advocate, and the statement read to the Court, and subscribed in their presence, and lodged by the Rev. Michael Stirling, minister of Cargill, for him self, and as representing the maj , ,rity of the Presbytery of Dunkeld, and the statement read to the Court, and lodged by the Rev. Andrew Kessen, respondents, and seeing that no satisfactory explanation, or any expression of contrition, or acknowledgment of error, in having- ad mitted to the pastoral charge of the united parishes of Lethendy and Kinloch a presentee whose title thereto, in respect of his presentation, was under discussion in this Court, and had not been sustained, and against which proceeding interdict had been granted, is contained in the above statements, in regard to the branches of interdict and contempt of the authority of this Court, of which the said respondents have severally been found guilt . ), the Lords find that the said respondents have justly subjected them selves to punishment, as parties bound to give implicit obedience to the law of the land, and to set a proper ex ample to the people at large; but in respect that this is the first time that an interdict of this Court, under such circumstances, has been disobeyed, find it unnecessary in order to vindicate the authority of the law, and to deter others from similar conduct in the time to come, to pro. nounce any higher punishment than that the said respon dents should receive from the Lord President the solemn censure of this Court, which he is hereby authorised to pronounce, and that the respondents thereafter be dis missed from the bar; and appoint this judg men t to b e entered in the Books of Sederunt : Further, find the whole of the said respondents, conjunctly and severally, liable to the complainer in the expenses of this complaint, and appoint an account to be put in and audited accord ingly; and in respect of the very proper and becoming answers on the part of the Rev. Henry Henderson, and the Rev. Thomas Nelson, and Mr. David Stocks, elder, on whom the complaint had also been served, assoilzie them simpliciter from the whole conclusions of the com plaint, find the complainer liable to them in expenses, of which appoint an account to be given in and audited in common.form, but find the complainer entitled to relief thereof from the other respondents, and allow the amount of these expenses to be included in, and form part of the account to be given in by him against them, and decerns." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, TIME S.—The re-action in the foreign exchanges which has taken place this week has renewed the unpleasant anti cipations which prevailed a short time back, and which had begun to dissipate, under a sort of reliance that the last ad vance in the rate of interest by the Bank of England would set everything right—that is, that it would check speculation, reduce prices, give a stimulus to our export trade, and turn the current of the precious metals, now flowing out of the country at a rate which fills the Bank parlour with dismay, and creates in the strongest and most prudent capitalists a dread of the result. Abuse and recrimination abound in the leading city circles. The joint-stock banks of issue are "at issue" with the Threadneedle-street-Bank, each throwing the blame on the other, and the mercantile interest accusing both of bringing on the mischief with which they are threatened. The origin of all this, fortunately, may be made clear and intelligible to the humblest capacity. The deficiency of the harvest, even in the latter part of the autumn, had been placed beyond all doubt ; and it fel lowed, of course, that there must be a large importation of foreign grain, to be paid for in some other value, in goods, in produce, or in bullion. No hope could present itself to the " regulators of the currency" of saving the stock of bullion from the threatened drain but by making money dear, or goods and produce cheap, so that they might {become worth taking in preference to gold by foreign nations. The "regulators of the currency" did exactly the contrary ; they increased the futilities of money in Decem ber last : the consequence was, that the cotton speculation at Liverpool, which might have been nipped in the bud, went on with new vigour, and this and other staple articles of our manufacturing industry became so dear, that +lie only thing worth taking from us was our gold, which has since set outwards in a continued stream, which, at pre sent, no hope exists of stopping. Who the " regulators of the currency" are is a point much disputed here ; the Bank Directors certainly would, if they could, waive all claim to it at this moment. The only consolation arising out of thin general diNniet is, that the events which have produced it occur at a time when Parliament is sitting, and its attention earnestly directed to the subject, so that the delinquents may be called to a summary account and visited hereafter with the punishment they have merited, by the transfer of the trust to abler and honester hands. The unsatisfactory state of banking aff-iirs is bringing forward in the mean time, other competitors for public favour, and projects for reform of the system. The roost prominent of these is the " Commercial Ba►ik of Londuii," which has been organising for some time past, and will be brought into operation it is expected withoutfurther delay. If the Bank of England is to be deprived of its double function of a bank of issue and deposit, and retain but the former, as the only means of maintaining a proper con trol over the circulation, something resembling it in credit must be organized, so as to give to the public equal security under the change. Which of the banks is to ac quire this distinction it will necessarily take much time to determine. FLANDERS AND DU'T'CH MAILS BRUSSELS, JUNE 12.—The average price of wheat last week was 2M. 89c., and of Rye 12f. 82e. per hectolitre. Importation, therefore, continues free of duty, ar,d expor tation prohibited. An English merchantman arrived yesterday at Antwerp from Bat Ma. It is the first direct arrival since the revo lution. It was at Flushing, from which port it sailed for Antwerp as soon as the exchange of the ratification was known. BRUSSELS, JUNE 14. —The King is expected at Brussels to day from his country seat, Ardenne. The Staats Courant, the official journal of the Cabinet of the Hague, announces the ratification of the treaty, and the Journal de la Hai l e, in its number of Thursday, the 13th of June, places the news from Belgium under the head of Belgique. Hitherto they have always been in. eluded with those from Holland under the bead of " Pays Bas." Pernambuco, who has just arrived from Venloo, affirms that the evacuation of that place is to be effected on the 15th. The garrison of Venloo will be composed of the 18th Dutch regiment of infantry and a battalion of artli lery. A regiment of Dutch hussars and a company of Marechaussee will be cantoned in Limburg. VIENNA, JUNE S.—Letters from Trieste say that the accounts from the Levant, brought by the last steam-boat, state that the Turkish troops had taken up a more ad vanced position 1)0,ond the Euphrates, but that there had not been any collision with the Egyptians. It is also said that a considerable Russian fleet is near the Bosphorus, and that Russian agents are very actively employed in hiring merchantmen in all the ports of the Black Sea, whence it is inferred that a body of Russian troops may perhaps be landed on the Turkish coast. The journal of the Lloyd Austriaco has the following letter, dated Alexandria, slay 16---" Letters from Aleppo of the 6th, and from Beirout of the 13th of this month, state that the Turkish army had advanced on the 3d in a body, as far as Narib. Swarms of Kourds and Nomade Arabs had joined it. Ibrahim is concentrating his army in and about Aleppo. 35,000 infantry, five regiments of cavalry, and two regi ments of artillery, were already assembled there on the 6th. Another regiment of the line and two regiments of guards were expected there on the same day. The fron• tier of Mount Taurus is strongly fortified, and defended by five regiments and a great body of irregular cavalry. The discipline and appearance of the Egyptian army is said to be admirable, and its subsistence amply provided for. Soliman Pacha issued on the 13th the following circular to the Consuls:—" As the Turkish army has in terrupted the communication with the provinces on this side of the Euphrates, the Egyptian government is obliged to use reprisals, and most strictly to prohibit the merchants of all nations in Syria from having any dealings with the Turks." While the warlike attitude of both armies threatens every moment a sanguinary conflict, hopes of peace are again entertained here, chiefly in consequence of the decided language of the Consuls. General of Russia and Amnia. The lately•mentioned dispatches from Vienna and St. Pctersburgh, brought by the Prince Metternich, induced the Consuls to repair immediately to Chibin in Lower Egypt, to confer with Mehemet Ali. They were just setting out, when they were informed by Bogcz Bcy, that the Viceroy was on his way to Alexandria, where he ar rived on the 12th, in the morning, and was received with a salute o f ar tillery. Immediately` after 11;s arrival conferences began between him and the Consuls, i t conse quence of which Mehemet Ali is said to have plsitisie'y declared, tlicugh with great reluctance, that 4S aeon as the Turkish army should return to its former p, fi'ollat Ma latlia, he would withdraw the Egyptian army from the frontiers into the Pachalik of Damascus, and recal Ibrahim Pacha to Egypt.
