THE STATE OF POLITICS AND PARTIES IN UPPER CANADA• No. V. The change which has taken place in the constitution of the House of Assembly of Upper Canada in the late Ge neral Election has so completely altered the aspect of all political questions in this Province, that any speculation upon them would be idle, until the causes of this apparent revulsion of public feeling shall be better understood, and its ulterior consequences more clearly ascertained. We shall, therefore, in this paper, just take a glimpse at the general condition and prospects of the country with refe rence to emigration thither ; and, in another, pass under re view one or two points affecting the Lower Province, with which, at present, we shall conclude what we have to say concerning the Canadians. The emigrant who leaves England, designing to settle in any part of Canada, should endeavour to see as little as possible of the United States ; because if he does, and should unfortunately have candour enough to open his eyes and his understanding to what has been done, and what is in progress, in this great republic, it is hardly in the nature of things that he can settle down contentedly in the British Provinces. It is not possible, without having been on the spot, for any one to appreciate the contrast, in every thing which concerns the comfort and prospects of a settler, be tween the American and Canadian sides of the Lakes and the St. Lawrence. In the former all is bustle, activity, and enterprize. Every face looks cheerful ; every man seems to prosper. The towns on the Lake have all exten sive, natural, or artificial harbourage, and carry on a very considerable traffic. Their large manufactories and ware houses, their busy quays, their crowded shipping, indicate, in terms that cannot be mistaken, their progress and pros perity. The inland towns, as they may be called, which are studded along the northern tier of counties of the State of New York—Utica, for instance, Syracuse, Auburn, Rochester, &c. &c.,---are equally characterised by all the evidences of prosperity ; their broad and spacious streets, their large and handsome brick-built houses, the excellence of their hotels, the number and va riety of their well furnished shops and manufactories, their numerous and handsome churches belonging to the various classes of religious persuasions, and the universal spirit of active energy which pervades the entire mass of society, leave no doubt as to their present condition or future prospects. Cross over now to the opposite sido of the lake, say from Oswego to Cobourg (this being in the main route to Upper Canada), and the traveller might fancy he had got into another hemisphere. Instead of a spacious and crowded harbour, a mere jetty for the landing of steam boat passengers—here are no quays, no wharfs, no ware houses, no crowded and busy populace, anxious to welcome every arrival. Oh, no ! All is inaction ; the whole aspect of the place speaks of the dullness and silence of the grave, rather than the busy haunts and ways of men. The hotels are small—their inmates few—their accommodations indif ferent ; instead of the crowded rush to table which has been remarked on the other side of the lake, the guests come straggling in at intervals, talk lazily over their meals about the slackness of emigration, and saunter out again, as they came in, with listless and chilling unconcern. With the exception of Toronto, Cobourg may be taken as a fair average of the towns of Upper Canada. It is nothing more than a scattering village, stretching along the shores of the lake ; and, though it has sprung up within a few years, it has none of the neatness and freshness of a new town, but its whole appearance is that of age and premature decay. Toronto, formerly called York, is the capital of Upper Canada, situated nearly at the head of the lake. I t con tains a population of about 12,000 souls. Like Cobourg, it is a long straggling place. With the exception of a few brick-built houses, principally belonging to persons con nected with the Government, the houses are chiefly frame houses, small, irregular, and of mean appearance. The shops are few and indifferently furnished. There is not, strictly speaking, a single bookseller's shop in the place : there are, it is true, two or three places where books may be had ; but in the same shop, on the other side of the coun ter, a grocer's store, or some other business, is carried on. Wherever there is a town on the Canadian side, a cor responding one springs up on the other. Thus on the Nia gara frontier, opposite to Queenstown, the Americans have Lewiston ; and opposite to what was designed to be the City of the Falls they have Manchester. So, again, at the bottom of the Lake, opposite to Kingston, they have Sacketts' Harbour, and opposite to Prescott they have Ogdensburg. The comparison which has been made be tween Oswego and Cobourg applies with little variation in the other corresponding towns. It is a mortifying subject of reflection that there should be such a difference in favor of the American towns, but there would be little wisdom in denying or disguising the truth. The Canadians possess eight or ten very fine steam boats, built generally on the American model, with a promenade deck and the wheel on the fore part of it : the Great Britain, the queen of the western waters, is the largest of them ; she is capable of accommodating 900 deck passen gers (that number having actually been brought in her without inconvenience it is said), and upwards of 250 cabin passengers. The greater part of these boats were built about three or four years ago, when the tide of emigration was flowing strongly into Upper Canada. Since that has been so materially checked, they are not only too numerous but too large for the demands of the public. Nothing can be more melancholy than traversing the Lakes and the St. Lawrence in these fine boats day after day, with half-a-dozen cabin passengers, twice as many deck passengers, and a few barrels of flour and pork, when it is manifest the whole freight cannot repay the owners the cost of the wood burnt for raising the steam. A faithful and honest account of the actual condition and resources of Upper Canada is much wanted for emi grants. Neither the statements put forth in the " Back woodsman," written by Mr. Dunlop, one of the principal officers and agents of the Canada Land Company, nor those circulated in every possible variety of form, by the North American Land Company, to draw emigration towards the extensive plot of ground they have recently purchased in the Eastern Township of Lower Canada, nor the high - wrought pictures to be found in various parts of " Chambers' Journal," are deserving of the slightest credit. Yet, on the faith of these delusive statements, thousands, aed tens of thousands, have been induced to go out to Canada, and all their hopes and prospects in life been totally wrecked. Many, very many, utterly ruined, have died broken hearted ; -very many more unable, or ashamed, to return, are linger ing out a. wretched existence, deprived of all the enjoy ments which can render life worth having. How many a scene of wretchedness and privation would a tour through the recently settled parts of Canada disclose! Whole families, in England accustomed to all the refinements and comforts Of the middle ranks of society, buried, literally buried, in the forest, and labouring with almost 'nopeless efforts to clear enough of the wilderness to satisfy the wants of nature. The mother broken hearted—the father and his sons re duced to a condition of toil and hardship very far below what the humblest of their own men -servants had, in former days, been accustomed to ; and his daughter s , bred and brought up as ladies, are seen burning their harps and piano -fortes for fire-wood, laying aside altogethe r the ac complishments and graces in which they had formerly delighted, obliged to labour in the most menial occupations, ranging about the woods half naked, and falling literally into the habits and feelings of savage life. illaclemo;73elle Taglioni has at length recovered from the effect, of her . late accident. She re-appeared as the Syl_ phide, for the first time, at the opera at Paris, Tuesday evening, A meeting of the architects, competitors for the designs of the New Houses of Parliament, was held on Mon lay at the National Gallery, when it was stated that the pro ceeds of the late exhibition of their designs, after paying all expenses, amounted to 7941. It was agreed that the amount should be equally divided among the competitors. SUICID E is PoisoN.—An inquest was held at the North London Hospital, Gower-street, New-road, before Mr. Stirling, on view of the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis, aged 37, who committed suicide by swallowing laudanum. It ap peared from the evidence that the deceased was the wife of a mechanic residing in Pancras-street, Tottenham-court-road, and the mother of a young family. On Thursday last she quarrelled with her husband, of whom she was jealous, and in a paroxysm of passion swallowed two pennyworth of laudanum. She was taken to the above hospital, and died on the following day. Verdict—Temporary Derangement. COTTON MANUFACTURE IN RUSSIA.—The Emperor of Russia has recently granted permission to Messrs. T. and C. Von Malzow, Von Sobolcnsky, and Robert Kennedy, to form a company to erect a cotton-spinning fabric in St. Pe tersburgh, or in its neighbourhood. PRICES OF STOCKS 'nits DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

Cli rkes and The establishment of Railways in this country, and the successful results of the Belgian lines, which have been completed, naturally create a desire to extend them more generally on the Continent, and thus open a wider field both for domestic and foreign communi cation. A Deputation from the Directors of the South-Eastern Railway Company having obtained the favourable consideration of the French and Belgian Governments for the formation of an Interna tional Railway, to connect the British, French, and Belgian Capi tals, by lines through Calais, by Lille, to Paris and Brussels, the preliminary arrangements for this great undertaking have, to a certain extent, been completed. A considerable portion of the above lines will be common t o P ar i s an d B russe l s ; a nd since they connect with those capitals great manufacturing districts of France and Belgium, they afford the prospect of a large remunerative re turn. Besides these, other lines, connecting Paris with London and Brussels, have been p ro p ose d, th e fi rs t th rou gh Amiens and Abbeville to Boulogne, the second through Amiens, Valenciennes and Mons, by the coal districts, to Brussels, which, with diminished distance, offer many other advantages. A line from Brussels to Mechlin, formed by the Belgian Govern ment, was opened in May, 1835, for the conveyance of passengers only. The official returns for the year ending May, 1836, after allowing interest at the rate of Si. per cent., on the cost of the works, show a surplus resulting from the conveyance of 563,210 passengers, of 41 per cent. Since May, 1836, the line has been extended to Antwerp, and during that month the number of passengers amounted to 101,479, yielding a revenue of 4,313/. 195.5 d. Another line from Ostend, by Mechlin and Liege, is also in pro gress. By the proposed route, and in connection with the South Eastern Railway, the journey from London to Paris will be accom plished in 14 hours ; that to Brussels, Mechlin, or Antwerp, in about 13 hours. The greater part of the surveys have been already made, and esti mates prepared by the French administration of the Ponts et Chaus s6es. These have subsequently been examined and approved by Bel gian engineers, and the French Government has consented that, previously to a:final selection of the lines, the country should be re examined by English engineers, and the works executed under the joint inspection and superintendence of engineers appointed by the Directors of the three countries. The sections which have been taken show that the lines can be executed with much less difficulty than the average of the great lines now in progress in this country ; the gradients are favourable, a considerable portion being almost level, and the greatest inclination not exceeding 17 feet per English mile. A pledge has been obtained from the French Ministry, that a law shall secure to Foreign Subscribers their property and annual profits against confiscation, in the event of war. The law of France and Belgium, respecting undertakings by Joint Stock Companies, limits the responsibility of Shareholders to the amount individually subscribed. • - The Capital necessary for the undertaking is estimated at 4,500,0001., and is preposed to be raised yip" England, Franc. and Belgium. The portion for England will he 1,500,000/. divided into 37,500 Shares of 401. each, nearly corresponding in value with the Shares of 1,000 francs each, into which the Continental portion of the capital will be divided. Only 15,000 Shares will be allotted at present, 5,000 of which will be apportioned to Shareholders in the South-Eastern Railway. On the Shares thus allotted, a Deposit ,of 2/. each will ha re quired, in order to meet jointly with th e .'Continental Shareholders the expenses of the preliminary investigations. The remaining Shares will not be allotted until it has been de termined by a General Meeting of the Shareholders• to proceed with an application to the French Chambers for the necessary legis lative authority to prosecute the work. .A preference will then be given to an equal amount to the Holder's of the Shares issued in the first instance. It is proposed that the general management of the undertaking shall be conducted by deputations frpm the respective directions of each country, meeting periodically at fixed places for that purpose.

Parkes and Preston. . Z''bt LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. AUGUST 12, 1836. It is now fully expected that Parliament will be prorogued on Thursday next, the 18th. Both Houses sit to-morrow, when the Royal Assent will be given to the Newspaper Stamp Duties Bill, and several other Bills. The writ for the corrupt Borough of Stafford was last night suspended till ten days after the next meet ing of Parliament, so that the Lords gain nothing by heir rejection of the Bill. Mr. PARKER, the intelligent and independent Member for Sheffield, is the new Lord of the Treasury, succeeding Mr. W. ORD, whose continued illness we much regret. A new writ was moved for last night, and no doubt the Hon. Member will be re-elected by the spirited Reformers of Sheffield. Two conferences took place last night between the Houses of Lords and Commons„which, from the no velty of t h e circumstance, attracted considerable curio sity, as will b e seen by an interesting report of the proceedi ngs , f or wh i ch we are indebted to a Morning Contemporary. The subject of both conferences was the same —namely, their Lordship's Amendments on those clauses of the Municipal Corporations Act Amend ment Bill, which re l ate to charitable trustees, and to the conferring the power of giving a casting vote to the presiding officer of the town council, on questions where there exists an equality o f votes. T he i r Lord ships announced their intention of adhering firmly to both these amendments, whereupon Lord JOHN RUSSELL, on returning fro m t h e l ast conference, observed, " it being quite clear that the two Houses can come to no agreement on these clauses, it must appear obvious that the best course for us (the Commons) to pursue, is to move th at t h e further consideration of the Lords' amendments be postponed until this day three months," which was of course agreed to. We have read with much attention the speeches delivered at the " Free Conference" be tween the Houses—so called, we presume, because both Lords and Commons having previously made up their minds on the subject, the managers were not •‘ free" to speak and act on their own account—we have read, we say, the speeches delivered on this occasion, most attentively, and are struck with the marked superiority of argument that the Com mons display over the Lords. The latter had not a word to say in justification of their conduct, and accordingly contented themselves with the sic volo sicjubeo style of logic. Lord LYNDHURST, to be sure, was sophistical as usual, and Lord EL L ENBOROUG H affected moderation, but the admirable speeches of Lord HO WICK and the ATTORNEY-GENERAL stripped the mask off both. But in truth, their Lord ships object in keeping up the present charitable trustees, is too evident to deceive any one. It is neither more nor less than to give the Tory party the com mand of the charity funds in all the reformed English Municipal towns, so that in the event of a new elec tion, or a ruse similar to that which placed Sir ROBERT PEEL at the helm, this anti-national faction may have the means at their disposal, of bribing and corrupting to an almost indefinite extent. Their Lordships have done many foolish things this session ; but none so glaringly foolish—none so glaringly factious—as in sisting on continuing the Tory Trustees for another year. Could they not have found some stronger point to stand out on ? This is " weaker than a woman's tear," and will do them more injury in the opinion of the right-thinking portion of the community—who know well, from long experience, what these party Trustees have ever been, and ever will be, so long as power is lodged in their hands—than even their rejec tion of Lord BROUGHAM'S Local Courts Bill. Alluding to this fact, Lord MELBOURNE said, " as to keeping up the present Charitable Trustees, he be lieved the House of Commons would not leave these trusts in their hands for six months, nor for six hours, no, nor for six minutes ; and he thought they were right." Language like this, bold, pertinent, and emphatic, will not be lost on the people, who know well what sort of animal a small official Tory is, and assess him at his proper value. What then have their Lordships gained by their pertinacious obstinacy? Has their " free"—as they whimsically phrase it— Conference with the Commons added to their import ance in the eyes of the country ? Nothing of the sort. It has served only to place them still more in the wrong ; to exhibit their factious disposition in a still more repulsive light ; to swell the popular cry of " Re form the Lords ;" and to convince those, who up to the present hour have been sceptical on the subject, that the hereditary branch of the Legislature is now the only remaining obstacle to good government. The Amendments made by the Lords in the Regis tration and Marriages Bills were last night taken into consideration by the House of Commons. No altera tion of importance having been made by their Lord ships in the former of these measures the amendments were agreed to without much discussion. There has been a hereditary nibble at one or two provisions, and the Bill is not quite so good as when it passed the Commons, but the great object of establishing a civil and national Register of births, marriages, and deaths, has been attained. On this we congratulate the country, and we think it but bare justice to the Dissenters to say that it is to their unwearied exertions that we owe this important benefit. With respect to the Marriage Bill we cannot speak so approvingly. Undoubtedly a great improvement has been made on the existing system. The rights of conscience will not be violated as they have hitherto been. Those who disapprove of altars and priests, as savouring more of Heathenism than of Christianity, will not be dragged to an altar to be married by a priest. Nor will those who disbelieve certain religious doctrines be compelled to pretend that they do believe them before they can be joined in the bands of holy matrimony. Nothing of this monstrous sort can happen in future. But the Lords have not granted this boon to the Dissenters without exacting an equivalent, or something in the shape of an equi valent. If they could no longer retain their unholy dominion over the consciences of those who cannot conform to the Church, they have determined to de grade their persons. With this view they have done as much as they could well dare to elevate the Church goer, and depress the frequenter of the Meeting-house. Among other provisions having this tendency, is one to the effect that the superintendent of the district shall send to the clerk of the Poor Law Union the names of all persons being Protestant Dissenters, who shall have notified that they have an intention of being married ; that he shall enter the same in a book kept for that purpose ; and that the entry so made shall be read over weeklyfor three successive meetings of the guardians of the poor, after the last paupers' pittance shall have been doled out. The evident object of the Lords and the Bishops is, by this and similar enactments, to discourage the cele bration of Marriage in any other way than by the Clergy of the Established Sect. They care not what injustice or insult they inflict, provided they can bring grist to their own miln. Well, we hope one good effect at least will result from this unchristian conduct. The Dis senters will have an additional motive to be instant in season and out of season, to bring about, by all proper modes of agitation, that reform in the House of Lords, without which they can never hope to be put on an equality with the rest of the community. We insert in another part of The Sun of to-day a correspondence which has taken place between Mr. HuTT and Mr. POULETT THOMSON, respecting the right which the Danes still claim to exact a tribute from every ship passing the Sound, and which right they assert is founded on treaties between Holland and Denmark of the 17th century in which this country was interested. This naturally recals to our mind two important points of the case of the Danish claimants which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER always overlooks. The first is—that by these very treaties six months time was to be allowed to the parties inte rested to withdraw their effects in case of war. The Danes, it is asserted, derive their right to the Sound dues from the same source as that from which the British claimants ought to have derived security for their property in 1807. But strong as their claims were on the score of treaties and conventions,yet as their claim was not on the Danish Government—on which, after our aggression, no treaties or law of nations could be held binding—hut upon the proceeds of the Danish property seized and paid into the British Treasury, for which seizure British property was made to pay the forfeit, the claimants have never laid any great stress on the question of international law, which, though continually urged against them, has, in reality, nothing to do with the question. The second point is of far greater consequence to the public. It is the question of the future danger to which our trade is exposed in enclosed seas, such as the new trade to the Danube, which it is the present interest of the country to fos ter. What is to become of the shipping property em ployed in this trade, should our Government of a sud den direct an embargo to be laid on Russian merchant ships and property in this country ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would no doubt be glad to see the proceeds in the Treasury; and are, then, the law officers of the Crown to be called upon to say to the unfortunate British shipowners and merchants, whose ships coming from the Danube will be seized by the Russians in retaliation, " You have no reason to complain ; your losses are in accordance with the law of nations, and it is ill perfect harmony with the principles of equity and justice," that the Treasury should apply to its own use all the Russian property on which it can lay hold. Look you to yourselves. The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received. They bring intelligence from Madrid to the 3d inst. The capital was then tranquil, though the order for putting the: city under martial law had not been acted on. We are assured that Louis PHILIPPE 15 preparing to put down the disturbances in Spain, whether caused by the Rebels or the Re publicans, with a strong hand. A Liberal Morning Contemporary has received similar intelligence. We infer the fact from the following statement which ap pears in his leading article of this day : " The intention of Louis Philippe to send an army of co operation under Bugeaud across the Pyrenees, is confirmed from sources upon which we can place the fullest reliance, and the step is taken with the approbation of Russia, Prussia, and Austria. This is a prudent determination, of which not the least important feature is the moral support which it gives to the approaching expedition. The three Powers only waited, we were told, until the Pretender should reach Madrid, when he was to have been immediately recognised. Their influence at the Tuilleries, we were further assured, would effectually prevent the French Government from the fulfilment of the obligations contracted under the Quadruple Treaty. In spite, however, of these machinations, an army of co-operation is being raised through France, which will enter Navarre before the termination of the present month, and this with the appro bation of the Northern Powers." Letters from St. Sebastian to the 4th inst. give the details of a reconnaisance made by some English and Spanish troops under JAREGUI on the Ist inst. They made themselves masters of the Ametza hill, and found to their great satisfaction that the Carlists had. not raised any new works in its vicinity. In this affair the English had five men killed and twenty-eight wounded. Of the Spanish troops, three were killed and twenty wounded. The loss of the enemy was not known, though reckoned very considerable. The fol lowing are extracts from the French papers : A letter from Bayonne contains the following details as to the positions of the several corps of the army of operation : —The Queen's troops occupy the line from Pampeluna to Valcarlos. Two battalions of Chapelgories, commanded by Don Leon Iriarte, have removed to Burguctte and Espinal. The regiments of Bourbon and Chinchilla occupy the valley of Erro and Zubiri. The villages of the valley of Estcribar, as far as Huarte, are guarded by the Foreign Legion. Ge neral Bernelle was on the 3d at Pampeluna. The Queen's troops were erecting two barracks at Asteriz, a quarter of a league from Zubiri. The Carlists on their side are fortifying barracks at Urianin, a league and a half from the same town. Two battalions are being formed at Pampeluna from the Car list deserters." In the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the sth inst., a compli cated discussion took place upon the question of revising the federal compact. The debate had none but a local interest, and led to no result. PARIS, Ace. 9. The journey of 111. d'Argout to the baths of the Pyrenees is said to be for the purpose of entering into negociations with agents of the Spanish Government, on the subject of the sacrifices which the French Government seems to have decided to make, in order to insure the triumph of the Constitutional cause. M. d'Argout, it is added, is the better qualified for this mission, as he speaks the Spanish language fluently. He is accompanied by two Secretaries, one of whom, the son of a Deputy, is auditor in the Council of State. —Messager. To-morrow (Wednesday) at noon precisely, there will be a grand review in the Court of the Tuileries, and in the Place des Carrousel. The King, accompanied by the King of Na ples, the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, and the staff will re view several regiments of the garrison. The question whe ther Algiers ought to be considered as a French colony has just been solemnly decided by the Civil Tribunal of Mar seilles.—Journal du Commerce. PARIS, AUG. 9.—lt appears that the courier who left Ma drid on the Ist, was stopped on the road. It was known on 'Change that the courier of the 3d had arrived to-day, and had brought the Government interesting information respecting the state of the capital. It was added that the Ministry had also received by the telegraph news from Saragossa of the 7th. But no part of the despatches has transpired. We cannot too severely blame the silence of the Govern ment respecting speeches which may have so much influence on the prices on the funds, and the scandalous monopoly which is favoured by this system of culpable silence.

The Duchess of Cambridge passed through Cassel on the 4th inst., on her way to the Castle of Rumpenheim, to visit her father, the Landgrave Frederick of Hesse. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to return to this country with their Royal relative, the Duchess of Gloucester, and to remain in England some weeks. , The Impartial states that private letters from Italy announce that the Duchess of Berri is to have an interview, at Saltzbourg, with the Princess of Beira, and that a marriage between Mademoiselle de Berri and the eldest son of Don Carlos, at a future period, is in contemplation. DEATH OF LORD DUFFERIN.—It was reported in Belfast yesterday, that Lord Dufferin had died on Satur day, at Collon, the seat of Lord Viscount Ferrard, in the County Louth. Lord Dufferin had been for some time in a very declining state of health. Should this account be true, his brother, Hans Blackwood, of Killileagh, will succeed to the title and estates. The next heir apparent would be Cap tain Blackwood, R.N., who is married to a sister of Mrs. Norton. —Northern Whig. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort will shortly take possession of Troy House, Monmouthshire, on the bor bcrs of Wales, where a select party of his Grace's fashionable friends are expected to assemble to enjoy the sport of grouse shooting. The Duke of Brunswick has signified his intention of accompanying Mr. C. Green, of Vauxhall Gardens, on his next aerial trip, which will take place next Tuesday from the above gardens. Lord and Lady Brudenell have gone on a tour up the Rhine ; his Lordship, it is probable, will not join his new regiment, the 11th Light Dragoons, now in India, until the corps returns to Europe. The Earl of Liverpool has left Fife House for Bested Park, Sussex, to receive their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, who are now on their annual visit to his Lordship and the Ladies Jenkinson. The Persian Princes still remain in town at Mi vart's, and excite much interest and curiosity. Their habits and manners are extremely amiable, and they are guests at all the first circles and assemblies, in which their eastern costume is highly picturesque. Their style of living is in the best taste, and the luxuries of the table well understood, the choi cest wines and fruits forming one of their morning repasts. They rise very early, and pass much time in the gardens of the Hotel, the fountains of which suit particularly their eastern taste and habits of enjoyment. On Tuesday last, the new steam-vessel, the Du chess of Kent, made her first trip to Ramsgate, with nearly 700 passengers. She performed the voyage in excellent style. She was received with loud plaudits by about 3,000 persons, on her arrival ; and many of the inhabitants, in testimony of their gratification, at the sailing of the Duchess between their town and London, illuminated their houses with the letters "D. K.," the initials of the name of the vessel. She re turned on Wednesday quite full of passengers.

SOUND DUES AT ELSINORE. The following correspondence on this subject has taken place between Mr. Hutt and the Board of Trade :- 23th July, 1836, 54, Conduit-street. My Dear Sir—A regard for the interests of British com merce, and especially of that department which largely en gages my constituents, impels Me to draw your attention to the tolls exacted at Elsinore on British shipping. I am aware that a part of the taxation to which British shipping is so subjected by a foreign power has been sanc tioned by treaties ; but the existence of treaties alone does not prove that it is wise to sanction the continuance of such imposts. Suppose that by some ancient treaty England had been permitted to levy taxes oa all foreign shipping passinc , the Straits of Gibraltar or the Straits of Dover, can it be doubted that foreign nations would now make every exertion to obtain the modification of a compact so manifestly injurious to their commercial interests, and framed in defiance of the principles of international law ? I submit that the cases are precisely similar, and that it, therefore, behoves the British Govern ment to take measures with a view to altering a treaty which is so oppressive to its subjects. The general principles to which I now appeal have not only been laid down by the highest legal authorities in Europe, but they were acknowledged and acted upon by the great powers which contracted the treaty of Vienna, in regard to the navi gation of rivers communicating with various continental states. And permit me to suggest that, if ever since ISIS it was ex pedient for this country to re-assert these important principles, and to protest against their violation, it is at the present junc ture. Should a mightier nation than now possesses it occupy the passage of the Dardanelles, what is to prevent that nation from recruiting its scanty treasury at the expense of the com merce of the Black Sea, and justifying such a violation by the example which is exhibited in regard to the trade of the Baltic, and submitted to by Great Britain ? But, leaving for the moment the general question, allow me to call your attention to a return recently made to the House of Commons, "of the sums collected at Elsinore and other ports of Denmark on British shipping." It appears that " the extraordinary poor money" is levied, not by virtue of any treaty made with this country, but by right of a treaty concluded in 1701, between Denmark and the Netherlands. Again, " the ordinary poor money" (of 12 stivers, or Is. lid. sterling, pay able by every ship passing the Sound) is levied without the authority of any treaty at all. It is a tax imposed at the mere pleasure of the Danish Government, whose only excuse for continuing it is that it has existed from time immemorial. The longer so great an abuse has existed, the sooner, I cannot help thinking, it ought to be removed. . _ . Begging to remind you that the exaction of all these tolls at Elsinore, by Denmark, is creating a growing dissatisfaction in Germany and in Russia—that the Americans pay none of them except under formal protest, which may lead at any time to a demand for re-payment, and trusting you will afford me an opportunity of assuring my constituents that this grievance which particularly affects them, will obtain the serious attention of his Majesty's Government, I have the honour to be, my dear Sir, Your very faithful servant, WILLIAM HUTT. To the Right Hon. C. Poulett Thomson, &e. Board of Trade, August 5, 1836. Sir,—l am directed by Mr. Poulett Thomson, in reference to your letter upon the subject of the Sound Dues levied at Elsinore, to say that the only point on which he could found a representation appears to be that of the Ordinary Poor Money, and on that point he has taken steps to represent the matter through Lord Palmerston to the Danish Government. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, ARTHUR SYMONDS. William Hutt, Esq., M.P. THE FUNDS.-(THIS I)AY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. MR. ROTHSCHILD'S WILL.

Extract of a letter dated Madrid, August 3 : " In the midst of the anarchy which is now spreading far and wide, the inactivity of the Ministry is so mysterious and unaccountable, that the Queen has withdrawn her confidence from them, and that the Cabinet is virtually at an end seems certain. Her Majesty has been heard to denounce, in no mea sured terms, the skulking conduct of the men who have had the rashness to provoke a contest with the Exaltados without the firmness to face it. The French Ambassador and Mr. Villiers are at La Granja in close consultation with the Queen. What will be decided upon, Heaven knows; but what is to be done must be done quickly." Letters are said to have been received of the sth inst. from Madrid, statiry , that the Constitution of 1812 was expected to be proclaimed there. A Hamburgh mail has just arrived, bringing the prices : Metalliques, 103+ ; Bank Shares, 1,349 ; Spanish, 341.

In the Foreign Market, in the early part of the morning, Spanish Active Bonds were buoyant, but soon after an altera tion took place in the Market, owing to a report that the prices came lower from Paris, and the funds receded from 33i 34 to to 33—at present 33& ; Passive, 10+ ; Active, 131 ; Portu guese, 761 ; Three per Cents., 461 4 ; Colombian, 241; Mexican, 291 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 551.

BERLIN, AUG. 3.—According to the accounts re ceived from Toplitz yesterday, his Majesty will return to Pots dam on the 16th, and to Charlottenburg on the 17th inst. Prince William, the King's son, and his consort, will return to Berlin on the 15th, from Marianstad. COPENIIAGEN, AUGUST s.—From Kongsberg, in Norway, we have received the distressing information that on the 29th of July, between five and six in the afternoon, the powder mill belonging the Silver Mine, and the many build ings attached to it, were blown up. The loss is great. At eight o'clock the fire was not extinguished ; for workmen were severely injured, and some were missing. The shock was felt in the town, and several windows were broken. The explo sion was heard even in Dramnen. The revenues of the king dom of Norway, in 1835, exceeded the expenditure by 417,000 dollars. It is to be observed, that though the duty on timber was reduced by the tariff of 1833 one sixth part, yet the re ceipt of the Customs exceeded, by 3,117,000 dollars in silver, and 88,318 dollars in notes, the sum estimated in the budget for the year. _ _ _ From all we can learn Mr. Edward Ellice, jun., the nephew of Earl Grey, has the ball at his foot in the Cupar of Fife District of Burghs. Mr. Andrew Johnstone must, there fore, stand prepared to bid a long adieu to all his greatness in that quarter; and as there arc now few pocket burghs--(Mr. P. Borthwick is certainly an exception)—we suspect he will very speedily discover that " the post of honour is a private station." —Dumfries Courier. Yesterday the annual venison feast was given at Sta tioners' Hall. After the cloth was removed, the King, Queen, the Princess Victoria, and the army and navy were proposed by the Master, and received with great satisfaction.
