NOW ready At all the Libraries, in 2 vols., poet Pro., L W A NOVEL. " The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort o f fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays Sn matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. • Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure alai forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fon I of music and poetry ; and Jana Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

On Wednesday morning Mr. Sergeant MURPHY was unanimously elected representative in Parlia ment for the city of Cork, in the place of their late consistent and faithful Member N l a L b LlA d ra FhAaurged AN, who, having honestly and indefatVi giy discharged the duties of the important trust confided ude ed g t r o at h it ishan a d n s d , had retired into private life, with the respect t esteem of his former Liberal co nstituents, v a r party i n t and h e litohues House o friendshipf Com mons, who duly a ppreciated the important services to the good cause rendered by their late colleague. No op ponent came forward to contest the seat to which every elector felt that the Honourable and Learned Ser geant had a strong claim, not merely from the local i n fluence of his family and the high estimation in which they have long been held by rich and poor, or from his own unquestionable abilities, but from the manner in which he invariably acted during his Par liamentary career—the undeviating redemption of every pledge, the full performance of every promise, and the indefatigable vigilance and devotion with which he watched over the interests of his native city, and the courteous attention he bestowed upon the communications of his fellow-citizens and consti tuents. We always rejoice to find such services ' recognised and rewarded, to find a member, and those by whose suffrages he is elevated to so high and dis tinguished a position, mutually worthy of each other, and united by that cordial and mutual understanding that is at all times so essential, and which so greatly enhances the moral weight of the representative in the Parliamentary scale, giving cogency to his reasoning and adding strength to his arguments, when it is known that he is always certain of re-election, and that there is no prospect of his eviction from his seat. We should not, however, perhaps have noticed the present uncontested election, although it fully confirms the assertion we put forward when the Liberal party sustained a defeat last year, "that if Sergeant 31.uarny had been a candidate the result would have been very different," but that we cannot pass sub silentio the admirable manner in which he exposed the folly and absurdity of those who have been styled " the Irish Brigade," and who have acted against their most cherished convictions, being ready to declare that " black was white," if the Ministry could be thereby annoyed or damaged. There can be no doubt that Mr. FAGAN was induced to resign his seat sooner than he might otherwise have done, in consequence of the urgency with which he was pressed by some of the electors to abandon his well-known opinions, to vote in favour of proposi• tions which he believed to be prejudicial to the best interests of his country, and against measures cal , culated to promote its welfare and prosperity—in other words, to sink from the situation of an inde pendent representative into a mere delegate, who should obey in every respect the dictates of a small but energetic clique which took upon itself to speak and to issue its commands in the name of the entire constituency. A similar effort was made to coerce Sergeant Muarny, as soon as he was declared to be a citizen elected to serve in Parliament. But the attempt was a total failure. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman vindicated his own independence, and showed the manifest impolicy of the suggestion, with a vigour and ability that must have carried convic tion to the mind of every auditor, and which we trust may have its due effect on those who have been Led astray by temporary irritation. So far as the question of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill itself, the teterrinza causa belli, was concerned, there was no difference between the Honourable and Learned Gentleman and the querists. None could speak more strongly against the measure itself, and against the conduct of the Premier and his colleagues upon the entire point of the Papal aggression than the Learned Sergeant, and although we think that he has regarded the matter in a deceptive light, we do not blame him for resisting by every legitimate means a Bill which he believes—erroneously believes —to be insulting to his religion and prejudical to the interests of its professors. But while he thus pro• perly and constitutionally expressed his views he indignantly repudiated the doctrine that he was to vote " black was white" in order to expel from office a Ministry with whose views he generally concurred, because he disagreed with them in one point, in order to bring in another to whom he was opposed toto ccelo. If his only choice lay between a Bill which he certainly disliked, but which was a mere brutum fulmen that would never belcarried into practical operation, and another of stringent severity that would lead to many qui tam actions, any com mon informer being at liberty to sue for the penalties, and to put the machinery tof the law into motion, should he endeavour to bring in those who would carry the more objectionable measure in order to exhibit vindictive spite against the others for bring ing forward the lesser grievance ? Should he depose King Log, in order to elevate King Stork ? The sound common sense of the Learned Gentleman re volted from the palpable absurdity, and we trust that his Parliamentary colleagues will derive a salutary lesson from his better judgment. It is unnecessary to say, that the late Ministerial crisis—the possible, aye, more then probable, advent of the Protectionists to office, and the loss of a great deal of valuable time—was occasioned by the defec tion of some twenty or thirty Irish Members, who, although previously rendering a general support to the Government, and advocating free-trade principles, went into the same lobby with Mr. Dis- RAELI (it is not necessary to advert to other cases), and thus nearly transformed a respectable minority into a majority. Ireland itself has suffered most severely for the folly of its children. Measures of great utility, calculated to develop the great natural capabilities, and to promote the welfare and prosperity of the country, have been indefinitely postponed. The Se curities for Advances Bill, a measure which, if ex tended as we have already pointed out, will probably prove more beneficial to Ireland than any that has been introduced during the present century, has been kept back, and property is still sacrificed for a moiety of its value under the En cumbered Estates Commission. But why multiply examples ? The very persons who have occasioned the mischief will, when reflection comes to their aid, regret most deeply the insane eourse they have pursued. If any arguments were necessary in addition to those so strongly and clearly put forward by Sergeant Muarny, to show the folly of those reckless pro ceedings, we would commend an exceedingly clear and well-written pamphlet,* which has just come under our notice, and which will well repay public re -perusal, while it will, we trust, induce the members of the I r i s h Brigade to pursue a more rational an d str aightforward course henceforward. Among the many boons for which a grateful com munity stand indebted who fulfils the functions to the Right Hon. Baronet Ex chequer with equal ons of Chancellor of the credit to himself and satisfacti on to the country, is hisus T al, as announced in answer to a question put by m r ref 13 Commons, on the evening the Bth instant, to with drawof th mi"G ' in the House of or make any alteration in of the 31st of August, 1840 , sanctieonTinrga t s h u e r Treasury adultera tion Minute of coffee, or in the practice of the E xc i s e-office o n the subject.

The Commissioners of Excise are nowise responsible for the extensive adulteration of coffee, nor is the impunity afforded to the v endors of this sickening trash to be ascribed to any defective legis lation, any more than to a laxity ov their part in adopting measures to repress the evil.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1851. the Commissioners are fettered, and the Act of Par r - red il+terly efficacious by certain resolutions and instructions emanating from the Lords of the Treasury. By a section in the Act of the 43d Geo. 111., c. 129, a penalty cf 1001. was imposed upon any dealer in coffee who should offer or keep for sale any vegetable substance prepared for the purpose of resembling or serving as a substitute for coffee ; the sale of scorched or roasted corn, peas, beans, or parsnips —and that in a whole state, but not ground or crushed—being per mitted only, under a licence, to persons not being dealers in coffee or cocoa, by the 3d George IV., c. 53, in which the foregoing section of the former Act is recited. Thus the law is sufficiently clear and explicit, and, if put in force, would be amply sufficient to answer the intended purpose, namely the prevention of the adulteration of coffee by the admixture with it of any other substance or ingredient whatever. The power of prosecuting under any Act of Parliament relating to the Customs or Excise revenue is, by statute, limited to the com missioners of Excise, who are themselves thereby subjected to the control of the Lords of the Trea sury. Such being the case, in April 1832, proceed ings were instituted against a firm who had mixed chicory powder with coffee, whereby the law was manifestly infringed, but were stayed by direction of the Treasury, on the grounds of an alteration being contemplated in the law with respect to the sale of the article complained of. In two months after the Excise Commissioners re , . turn to the Treasury earnestly desiring to know what steps they are to take when chicory is mixed with coffee, coffee being adulterated to a great extent; and are instructed in a reply, bearing date the 21st August, " that the sellers of coffee should be informed that they must abide the consequences, if, after a notice of two months, they shall continue to sell it mixed with any other ingredient contrary to law ; but that the sale of chicory powder should not be interfered with." This was all fair and equitable, punishment being held out to the fraudulent seller of a spurious mixture, and the law being relaxed in favour of the honest dealer, by the non-imposition of any penalty upon the coffee dealer who should sell chicory, provided he sold it pure and unmixed, and under its proper name. Things then went on smoothly for eight years, until in August, 1840, out comes another Treasury minute, the question being again brought under their Lordships' consideration, and at no subsequent period would information be given by those august persons as to the reasons by which they were guided in this total change of their recorded views, in the absence of any intermediate enactment passed upon the subject, or of any authorityhaving been given by the existing Acts, under which any alteration could be made. The text of this precious document is as follows My Lords consider that the law was altered (!) with the view of admitting the mixture of chicory with coffee. My Lords, therefore, do not consider that any measures should be enforced to prevent the sale of coffee mixed with chicory. My Lords do not con sider such admixture will be a fraud on the revenue, so long as chicory pays the proper duty ; and" (it con cludes with beautiful and touching disinterested ness) " as between the seller and the consumer, my Lords desire that Government should interfere as little as possible." O❑ this profound promulgation being communicated to the Commissioners of Excise, nothing remained for them but to issue a general order —" That no objection be made, on the part of the Re venue, to dealers in and sellers of coffee mixing chicory therewith, or to having the same so mixed on their premises." _ _ Now, if there be any persons who, being of the same taste as Sir CHARLES WOOD—and it is with dif fidence that we put forward any views of our own in contradiction to the emanations of that giant mind— prefer the compound to the simple, and rubbish to the sound,we would say to them, " Swill yourselves what filthy draughts you like; de gustibus non est, 6-c., but do not put us of less convenient stomachs to the necessity of either abandoning a pure and favourite beverage altogether, or of joining with you in im bibing revolting impurities." Even, for a moment supposing that the foreign ingredient were confined to pure chicory, and again, that the salubrious and nutritious qualities thereof were unquestioned, why may we not get the genuine article without having an olla-podrida of nauseous ness palmed off upon us ? But it is now notorious to mankind,—and all honour to the Lancet for its elucidation of the villanies perpetrated under cover of the permitted admixture,—that the most abominable ingredients enter largely into the omnium-gatherums sold as genuine coffee, and that chicory itself is largely adulterated in the ground state. But even a contri bution of that home-grown article at 4d. per lb. is deemed too costly to be generally used, and the price is frequently reduced to the poor man through the use of horse-beans, acorns, and even tan, to whom benevolent grocers can pretty well afford to vend a pound of so-named coffee, into which not above two or three ounces of the genuine material is permitted to enter, at a shilling or fourteenpence the pound. Those ingenious gentry distribute with a liberal hand such delectable articles as these—viz., damaged corn, beans, peas, acorns, horse-chesnuts, lupin-seed, earth, brickdust, sawdust, dog-biscuits, tan, &c. ; and at the meeting recently held in the City, a retail coffee dealer stated that " an intelligent man came to his shop with an article composed of burnt peas, dog biscuit, powdered earth, and another article which he would not name (but which proved to be tan) ; that he told him there were four tons of it ready for use, and that it was a substitute for chicory, or" (hear this, ye sons of sneeshin') "might be used in the adul teration of snuff." Let any candid coffee-drinker ponder dispassionately on the extensive use of these refreshing and ingenious amalgamations, and then " To breakfast with what appetite he may." He will proffer a sympathising prayer that the simple remedy may be resorted to—namely, that the Trea sury Minute of 1840 may be rescinded, and that we may revert to the preceding Minute of the 21st of August, 1832. But, however sanguine may be his temperament, his hopes of a speedy improvement will sink to zero, when he reflects that the representative for Halifax presides over the Exchequer, daily developing the fruits that spring from a union of the crassest perversity with incapacity the most profound. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is ex pected to arrive in town from Dublin early in the ensuing month to take leave of his Royal mother and sister on their departure for the Continent, and to participate in the Royal hospitalities at Buckingham Palace. THE CORK ELECTION.—Mr. Sergeant Murphy was on Wednesday returned, without opposition, for the city of Cork, in room of Mr. W. Fagan. lie was proposed by Mr. F. B. Beamish, and seconded by Mr. James Roche, J.P. The learned sergeant, when be appeared as a candidate at a previoas election, had not made up his mind on the question of Protection, but in his addseas on the present occasion he declared himself a supporter of Free-trade. Under those circumstances, his return for the important commercial city of Cork is a fact of considerable importance. THE LATE LORD LANGDALE.—YesterdayDaming, at half-past 10, the mortal remains of this Noble and Learned Lord were interred in the vault of the Temple Church. The funeral arrangements were conducted in as private a manner as possible, at the desire of the deceased. The body was brought from his Lordship's country seat at Roehampton, and was followed by two mourning coaches, without any private carriages. The Noble Lord was deeply respected in the vicinity of his residence, and most of the tradesmen closed their sbops, and the church bells of Roehampton, Barnes, and Putney were tolled as the mournful procession passed. The principal mourners were the Rev. Henry Beckwith, Sir Stephen Lushington, Sir George Rose, and Sir David Dun das ; but a great number of the members of the bar, of which his Lordship so recently took a painful farewell, testified their esteem and regret by being present on the solemn occa sion. The coffin (which was covered with marone-coloured silk velvet) bore the following inscription :—" The Right Hon. Henry Lord Langdale, late Master of the Rolls. Died 18th April, 1851. Aged 67 years." FATAL ACCIDENT TO Mg. TOMLIN, THE BARRIS TER, OF PAPXR-BVILDINGS.—About 11 o'clock, last night, this gentleman, after having returned to his chambers from his club, where he had been dining, unfortunately fell from a window on the second landing of the stair-case, and was so much injured, that it was thought necessary to remove him immediately to the King's College Hospital, where be expired at quarter-past five o'clock this morning. What renders this accident extraor dinary is, that the deceased gentleman, at the time he fell from the window, was not in the least intoxicated, as people might infer. EMIGRATION PROSPECTS.—Extract from a letter received from Melbourne, Port Philip, dated Dec. 9, 1850: " Labour is again getting dear. Whatever are the people about at home that so few immigrants come out? Good wages, good food, good prospects for the future, with no fear of want, are open to all who are the least inclined to work and can do something; and yet ships come in loaded with goods, but short of men, women, and children. For want of hands some of th e wool must be got up in the grease, instead of being washed; and loss is thereby occasioned to all parties." • • . " Servant girls are still at a premium. Even the needlewomen have all gone off, though there were some worthless ones among them. Asa whole, in point of virtuous character, the Irish orphan girls stand mach higher." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The prospects of the Legitmaatists and of the Bonapartists are becoming every day less and less bright; as the poriod fixed for the revision of the Constitution approaches, the declarations against any attempts at accomplishing such revision, except by legal means, become more numerous and more im portant. The Ordre makes the following declaration against any illegal attempts at revision, and at the same time treats M. LOUIS BONAPARTE and his pre tensions with the most cutting contempt : " The vice which renders a revision of the Constitu tion so necessary in the eyes of the Bonapartists is the non-re-eligibility of the President until after the expi ration of four years. We admit that such provision is to be regretted. We admit also that public anxiety is on the increase, However, let us be just. Which, let us ask, is the more important as rega rd s th e g e ner a l security, that Louis Napoleon be eligible to be re elected, or that the next Assembly, whether it be called constitutional or legislative, should remain faithful to the policy of order and of conservation? Suppose M. Bonaparte to be re-elected for four years in favour of a Red or Socialist Assembly? What would he or could he do? If he did not yield to the impulsion of such an Assembly, and if he did not become its instrument, the most that would be in his power would be to risk the uncertain chances of civil war. Suppose, on the con trary, an Assembly wisely conservative, with any other President than M. Bonaparte, say General Cavaignac, or any one else, what would you have to dread? Is it not evident, that a Sovereign Assembly, elected and acting according to the sentiment of the country, would be strong enough to sustain the President of the Re public, assuming him to be animated by patriotic senti ments, or to keep him in bounds, if possessed with bad intentions." _ The election for the Landes is to take place on the 13th of May, the candidates are M. GuizoT and M. DUCLERC. The Pays has the following on this subject:— " It is announced that M. Guizot is to be brought forward in the department of the Landes, as a candidate to replace M. Fteß3ric Bastiat in the National Assembly. The candidate of the moderate Republic in this depart ment is M. Duclerc. The entirely new position assumed by M. Guizot in openly patronising the policy of fusion, ending in the restoration of the Count de Chambord, gives to the election of the Landes a real importance. The contest will not be between M. Guizot and M. Du clerc: it will be between two policies which are perfectly distinct—one of which will write on its bulletins legiti macy and revolution, the other Republic and preserva tion. Revolution or preservation, such is the alterna•ive to be put before the electors of the Landes on the 11th of May. M. Guizot is assuredly a great Parliamentary illustration. The Republic ought to be strong enough and generous enough to receive him, and resture an elo quent voice to the tribune; but the country should be wise enough not to encourage and glorify parties, when it is necessary to pacify the public mind and consolidate institutions." It is satisfactory to find M. DE LAMARTINE thus boldly repudiating the policy of the Fusionists. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has published an article in the Presse, in which he gives an unanswerable re futation to the absurd assertions of the Constitutionnel and of the police-inspired correspondents of certain foreign reactionary journals, who reiterate the trans parent falsehood that the great majority of Frenchmen are Monarchists. lie says— "lt France in April, 1848, did not wish for the Republic, what prevented her from nominating 900 or at least 451 Royalists? From the 4th of May to the 4th of November, 1848, had not the Constituent As sembly sufficient time to reflect? Who obliged it to vote the Constitution, if it did not wish for it? Who forced M. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, M. Baroche, M. Buffet, M. I e Faucher, and M. Rouher to place in the balloting-urn a white ball instead of a black one, and thus to give au example of assent when there was still time for resistance? To pretend in April, 1851, that the Republic was imposed on France on the 4th of November, 1848, is to accuse all the mon archists, who sat in great number on the benches of the Constituent Assembly, of not having had the courage of their convictions, is to accuse them of cowardice. But that concerns you, not me, One word more, however. If on the 24th February, according to your own words, a handful of unknown persons' sufficed to overthrow the monarchy, you, who were known, soldiers, prefects, magistrates, writers, &c., why did you not raise two handfuls to defend them? Why did you not expose your lives for the monarchy, as that handful of unknown indi viduals exposed theirs for the Republic? Why did you not display as much courage as they did? Believe me, it ill becomes you, who fled in terror, to affect so much disdain for those who generously lent you such good legs, and made you so nimble. Modesty becomes fear not less than virtue. It is not enough to have been a pol troon; he who is one should be modest also. On the 27th December, 1847, the Journal des Debuts printed these words:—' March on the phantom, and it will disappear!' Its counsel was followed; but on the 24th February who disappeared? Was it the phantom? If it were the phantom which took in all haste the rail way to Belgium, in borrowing from M. Armand Benin his personal resemblance, it must be admitted that a phantom weighing so heavily was never before seen! Well, you employ on the 23d April, 1851, the same lan guage as that which the Journal des Debats employed on the 27th December, 1847. It is a good augury for Democracy, which is ready either to fight or to poll—the former, if the Constitution be violently overthrown; the latter, if universal suffrage be honestly restored to it. But no; let commerce be reassured, and labour be not interrupted, no battle is to be feared, and none can take place; for there are 200 representatives of the people who would be dishonoured like the most shameful de serters, if they were to permit that, they living, the Constitution be overthrown, as demanded by the Consti tutionnel. Such provocations are only Gasconades." The following diplomatic appointments have just been made by the PRESIDENT of the Republic :—M. DE MARESCALCHI, formerly first Secretary of Em bassy in London, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of Portugal ; M. FORTH-ROUEN, ex Charge d'Affaires in China, to be Minister at Athens; and M. DESMELOIEZS, chef du cabinet of M. BRENIER to be Consul Gener a l a t A ms terdam, in the room of :M. BERNARD DESESSARTS. General MAGNAN, commander of the 4th military division, has just issued an order of the day, in which he blames a sentinel of the 74th regiment, stationed at Colmar, for having allowed a man to strike him without having made use of his bayonet. In another order of the day the General praises the energy of Cor poral LAURENTIAUX, of the 17th Light Infantry, for having, at Strasburg, at the head of only four men, dispersed a crowd, and having used his bayonet againot a man who had attempted to rescue a prisoner from him.

In virtue of an arrangement which has been favourably received by the public, from the Ist July next the charge for the collection of the territorial contributions will be re duced from 4 per cent. to 3 per cent.

The Count declared to them that the Cabinet of Berlin desired and insisted that the conferences should continue, and that all the ques tions which had been submitted to the examination of the Committees should be decided on. As soon as that shall have been done the close of the sittings will be announced, and all the documents will be trans mitted to the Germanic Diet." ITALY. On the 12th, being the anniversary of the POPE'S return to Rome, the diplomatique corps waited upon his HOLINESS to compliment him on the occasion. General GEMEAU afterwards reviewed the French troops on the square of St. Peter. His HOLINESS having prepared a distribution of crosses of the Pontifical Orders for the occasion, General GEMEAU addressed his officers on the subject as follows : " Gentlemen,—The 12th of April could not pass over at Rome without the Sovereign Pontiff granting a divi- Lion of occupation a testimony of which he is pleased to call his gratitude to our France. lam directed to deliver to you in his name these decorations, which will remind you of a great event; this event will increase in import ance every day, as the conviction shall gain ground, that religion is the best guarantee of public order, and that public order alone can ensure the glory and happiness of nations. Receive, then, these decorations with the same satisfaction and prid e I feel in delivering them to you, on the square of St. Peter's, at Rome." Letters from Rome, of the 12th, in the Milan Gazette, announce the arrival of a Spanish Envoy with the concordat between Spain and Rome, which only awaits the signature of his HombiEss in order to be definitively ratified.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, comprising 3,500 American; 300 Pernam and Maranham, at lid. to Bid.; 200 Egyptian, at 7 id. to Bd.; and 1,000 Surat, at 44d. to 54d. per lb. The market was very flat, and prices very irregular; American id. to 1., and all other kinds id. to id. per lb. lower.—Railway Shares were steady. The amount of business done in the Colonial Pro duce Markets since they re-opened on Wednesday last has been satisfactory, the sales being for consumption almost exclusively, as there is no speculation going on. Sugar and Coffee have bee❑ in fair request at fullprices. Tea has been taken in moderate parcels. The stock in London on the 16th inst. was 36,480,0001b5., against 35,315,0001b5. at the like date of 1850. Concerning a branch of the foreign fruit trade, Messrs. Witherby and Hanson report that— " There have not been any direct arrivals of Currants at this port or at Liverpool since our report of the 22d ult. A cargo has lately arrived at Bristol. The Lon don clearances for home consumption, from 19th ult. to 17th inst., have been 1,000 tons, against 750 tuns, 1,020 tons, and 650 tons in the like period of 1850, 1849, and 1845. From Ist January to 17th inst. they have been 3,410 tons, against 1,730 tons in 1850, and 3,050 tons in 1849 during the like period. The Liverpool deliveries have increased of late, those of the four weeks ending 15th inst. having been 455 tons, against 320 tons in the previous four weeks. They are now on a par with those of April 1350. The increase in the consumption of the United Kingdom during the first two months of 1851, as compared with 1850, has been 725 tons, which is a recovery of more than half of the deficiency in that of the entire year 1850. The Hamburgh mail, with advices of Tuesday last, reports that the rate of exchange was 13 c 34. Coffee was firm, but there was not much doing in it. At Amsterdam, on the 23d inst., the Funds were steady. Dutch Two-and•a-Half per Cents. 57i. Spanish and Portuguese Bonds were in request. Mr. Charles Hambro, of the fires of C. J. Hambro and Sons in London, has been raised to the hereditary peer age of Denmark. The Medway arrived with the West India and Pacific mails, and brings over 1,200,000 dolls. i❑ specie. The labour question occupied much attention in Jamaica, and it is remarked that if a very small or trifling proportion of the amount expended for immigration since the period when Air. Barclay arrived in this harbour with the ves sels, and immigrants from Sierra Leone, had been an nu illy expended in regularly keeping up the inter course between the two places by means of a moderately-sized fast tailing vessel, such as one of them was, a large number of per sons in this island would have visited Africa, very many from thence would have come here and returned, and the bulk of the people in the neigh bourhood of Sierra Leone at least, would have learned that there was such a place as Jamaica, and been induced by the accounts given to them of it to come and settle in it. Nor would this have impeded in any way the introduction of captured Africans or Coolies, or any of the immigrants which have been brought to the colony during the period in question. There are at the present moment in the island several natives of Africa, who have lived here for years, desirous of revisiting their country, and who, did the means of communication alluded to exist, would do so, and prove useful in inducing many to come here, and it might be to come with them on their return. Jamaica, however, is shut out from all communication, except by way of England, with a country which it is obviously the interest of the agriculturists, and espe cially the sugar growers, should be brought as near to us as possible, and between which country and our own there ought to be, at least, one vessel regularly sailing, and some trade and in terchange of commodities going on. It is not too late to do this now. It wauld be preferable to spend a limited sum of money annually in opening up, and keeping open, such a communication, than to resort to the expedient of purchasing ►laves on the coast to be transmogrified into free labourers in the colony; and, if together with a free passage, some trifling induce ments were held out through the agency of Africans, we are sanguine in the opinion that in a few years we should be abundantly repaid the outlay incurred, and re warded for any trouble taken in carrying out such a measure. The weather on the north side of Jamaica bad been rather changeable. There were still a few cases of cholera. In Trinidad the substitution of the English for the Spanish criminal code was working well. From Bar badoes and the other islands there is nothing im portant. _ _ The English Stock Market, upon money sales being made, has become exceedingly flat, Consols only realiz ing 968 to 97, after having been done at 97k. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 97i to 98. The uncertain aspect of affairs in France is assigned as ono reason, but paucity of business, and the interruption to the dealings of the Hebrews, owing to their protracted holidays, is another cause.
