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 of fame. We gather this from the glowing len gaage 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 matters that are the prima mobilia of th e actions which cha racterise nature's nobility.

Among the numerous difficulties embarrassing the department of the Colonial Secretary, none are more important in their character than those originated by - our possessions in the N or th-A m erican continent. For the diminution of those difficulties we must eoatinue most solicitous until such :time as can be witnessed the revival of a cordial understanding be tween those colonies and the mother country. Un happily, this friendly feeling between ourselves and our scattered territories has now, for some conside rable period, been dissipated, or, at any rate, very ma terially injured ; and this, we are bold to say, entirely from the mismanagement of the central Government. Not that we attach the blame in any way exclusively to her MAJESTY'S present advisers, the hresponsibility of al these unfortunate mis understandings Lz:looging, more or 1.! , 5, to a long list of past Administr..z.cns. in referriz g tc; the miser able acd anomalo -, ..3 position now occupied by the British Cabinet towcrds the great 1- ulk of our de pendencies, we nre actuated in no r..1,..:ner by an idle predisposition to rake up old griev...ze;, or to dis seminate unnecessarily ideas dercgAtory to the intelligence of our statesmen. Our intention is to direct public attention, if possible, to the consideration of projects f., , aloula:ed to remove Many of the annoyances rr-ferreci to, and ultimately, if carried out with any degeee of ezterprise, to place 1 the whole system of colonial government upon a solid 1 I and satisfactory foundation. t Conspicuous and, we might almost say, paramount among these beneficent projects is one affecting the prosperity and, in some measure, evert the very sta bility of Nova Scotia as an important section of our North-American possessions. Very recently there has arrived in this country, from tLe dependency last mentioned, a gentleman entrusted with a mission intimately concerning the interests of its active and intelligent population—we allude to the Honourable JOSEPH HOWE, the Pro vincial Secretary. Himself deeply versed in the labours and responsibilities of the Nova Scotia Go vernment, and acquainted, moreover, with the extra ordinary capabilities of the colony, Mr. HOWE was perhaps, the fittest person that could have been selected from among the members of the local administration for the purpose of bringing its wishes before the home Government for its acceptance and approbation. As we understand, the principal object of the Honour able Provincial Secretary on arriving in the mother country is to urge individually upon the chief of the Colonial Department, and generally speaking upon the whole of her MAJESTY'S Government, the ad visability of affording every reasonable encourage ment to a projected enterprise of considerable magni tude, and one promising net only to Nov% Scotia itself, but in a greater or less extent to both hemi spheres a multitude of scarcely calculable advantages. The enterprise we here speak of is DO other than a proposed intercolonial and intersectional line of railway opening up communications uninterruptedly between New York and Halifax. As an evidence that the project is in no respect chimerical, and that its anticipated good consequences are, in their nature, anything but illusory, it is only necessary to trans cribe the eulogistic opinion entertained of it by Earl GREY himself, her MAJESTY'S present Colonial Se cretary. Upon the scheme of railway extensiOn'to the principal town of Nova Scotia, that statesman has thus written :—" I regard the work," says he "as one calculated to be of the highest ser vice to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and instead of 'considering it as likely to endanger by competition the still more important scheme which has been proposed for connect ing Halifax with Quebec, I believe that it is likely to prepare the way for the execution of the latter, and that it will contribute to the same end, namely, that of rendering Halifax the great port of communication between the two continents of Europe and America." So much for the estimate formed of the undertaking by the Right Honourable the Colonial Secretary—an estimate as earnest as it is, to our thinking, deserved. The Honourable JOSEPH HOWE therefore, the Pro vincial Secretary of Nova Scotia, is entitled to our congratulations for having arrived in England for the purpose of advocating the claims of that important province, provided to that end with a proposal of this golden and inestimable character. To the end , that the enterprise under consideration may be the more fully appreciated, it will be advisable, perhaps, to glance at the social and political progress already made by this remarkable and im portant possession. A cursory glance at its develop ment in these respects is, indeed, almost essential, now that it is proposed to conduct through Nova Scotia the main trunk of all the United States and other North-American railways. The mere supposi tion that a time may arrive when the vast bulk of European intercourse with the new world shall be carried on by way of Halifax, invests the whole of the colonial province, of which it forms the capital, with an interest, it may be, in some measure disproportionately greater than that attached to the other parts of our. North-American possessions. However this may or may not be, we cannot but regard it as advisable to sketch hurriedly, but suc cinctly, the history of the rise of Nova Scotia under British domination. Nova Scotia then, it mast be remembered, was ceded by France to England as recently as the year 1713—50 that all the changes that have been effected in its well-being since its passing under the rule of the Anglo-Saxoni, have taken place within a period of 140 years, an insignificant interval in the existence of even the smallest and poorest dependency. When it is borne in recollection that scarcely any regard what ever was paid to the interests of Nova Scotia by its new possessors from 1713 to 1749, it will be seen that the time during which the development of the capa cities of the colony could be watched over by the British Government becomes very materially and ap preciably diminished. At the latter period, however, in consequence of the renewal on the part of the French monarchy of a disposition to interfere again with the partitioning of the North American continent, the ob servations of the English, multitude were directed to:the value of the colony, and a grant of 40,0001. was voted by the House of Commons for the support of a num ber of emigrants. Thereupon nearly two thousand of these emigrants, encouraged by the aid of Parlia ment, landed in Chebucto Harbour, and in 1750 (just one hundred years ago) erected the town of Halifax, directed in their hardy and resolute operations by their Governor, the Honourable EDWARD CORN WALLIS. Not long afterwards, namely in 1758, the value and security of Nova Scotia became very considerably enhanced by the capture of Louisburg and the occupa tion of Cape Breton ; and subsequently, that is to say in 1768, the strength of those dependencies was sig nally increased by the resignation on the part of France of each and all of her former possessions in the North-American continent. Prior to this final and crowning settlement of our colonial power in that quarter of the western hemi- sphere, namely, in 1758, during the year sig n& _ _ lized by the seizure of Louisburg, a constitution based upon that of the mother country was granted to Nova Scotia—a constitution comprising a House of As- sembly, a Legislative` Council, and a resi dent Governor. Gradually, however, a num ber of evils and abuses sprang into ex istence out of this very constitution, the local administration at one time being led into a s 3 s tem of deplorable extravagance. Nevertheless, there arose ultimately in opposition to this extravagance and to these abuses a vigorous opposition, out of - - which emerged in the end a great constitutions : struggle of fifteen years' duration. Alluding to these events, the Provincial Secretary th u s _ _ _ _ expressed himself, in his farewell address to his constituents, on - the 31st ultimo : " Responsible government, administered through heads of departments, holding their places by the tenure of public opinion, has occupied, as you are aware, a considerable place in the public discussions of British America, fur the last ten or fifteen years. We have lived, however, to see our principles triumph—to see them recognised, after full debate, by the Lords and Commons of England, :o see them clearly enunciated by successive Secre- 'aries of State, in Canada and New Brunswick, no less than in Nova Scotia, supplying new securities to liberty, and fresh vigour to every branch of the Administration." Furthermore, the Hon. Provincial Secretary ob served, after detailing a variety of economical ar- rangements " The past, with all its valuable results, is before you—but no political party, no Administration indif ferent to the duties of the present hour, and unmindful of future improvements, can live upon the fame of past achievements, and grateful reminiscences of bygone labours, however honourable these may have been. The cry and the great want of Nova Scotia, at the present time, is further industrial development— active employment for the people —new and improved facilities for business and social intercourse. To this field of honourable labour she invites all her children, without reference to past differences of opinion, and in utter oblivion of the rivalries and ardent feelings which past contests have aroused. In this field there is work enough for us all for twenty years to come. Upon this field I am prepared to enter, as an humble labourer, in the spirit evoked at the great meeting held in the capital on the 25th of August. I believe that a Government fostering that spirit —nobly sustained by it, and dedicating the public treasure and the public credit to the work of indus trial development, may do much good. With a vie w to give form and direction to that spirit, I have ac• cepted the important mission with which I am charged. If I succeed, cur country will reap the advantage--if I fail, the mortification will be my own ; but I shall bear it with the consciousness that I have done my best." For the better comprehension of the mission en trusted to the Honourable Provincial Secretary the following extract from the dispat c h o f the Governor of Nova Scotia, bearing date the 29th of August, 1850, may not be deemed unworthy of especial consideration :—" In the meantime," says THE SUN, LOLONDON, FRI DA Y EVENING. the Governor, "I should be glad to be informed whether, upon such pledges as have been regarded as satisfactory in other colonies being given, her MA-. Jusres Government would be disposed to aid Nova Scotia with its guarantee of such funds as she may find it necessary to borrow in England, in order to construct this road. These would not exceed 800,0001. sterling, and would probably be secured not only on the general revenues of the province, but upon the road itself. Such a guarantee would enable the province to enter the market upon the best terms, and effect a large saving in the accomplishment of the work. The revenue of Nova Sco . ia is about 80,0001. sterling, her debt but 87,8921. sterling, of which 47,8921. is represented by pro vince paper, on which no interest is paid. The per manent and indispensable charges are about 40,0001., leaving about 40,0001. of surplus re venue available for public improvements. The re venue has increased 4,4004 within the present year. The increase on the whole would probably be 10,0001." From all that we have h&re remarked, it must he sufficiently obvious that the period has at length arrived vi hen her MAJFsETY I Government may re lease themselves from the pressure of colonial difficulties by according a full and cordial support to enterprises like the one here indicated. Out of all which considerations we cannot but regard the ar rival of the Hon. JOSEPII HOWE amongst us, on this important mission relating to the affairs of Nova Scotia, as a circumstance inaugurative of a new and happy change in our entire system of Colonial Go vernment. Our impression of yesterday contained a full report of the proceedings at the first annual meeting of the Retford Currency Society, including the admirable and instructive address of the Rev. JOHN TWELLS, whose name will be received by our readers as that of a familiar friend, with whose enthusiastic, indefatigable, and, we may truly add, disinterested exertions in the great cause of monetary reform they are well acquainted. To his efforts may be ascribed the success that has attended the society, of which he may be regarded as the founder, and which enabled the committee to issue a report in every respect so satisfactory to its members at the termination of the first year of its existence. It is, indeed, delight ful to witness in any infant association the full and efficient performance of the promises made at the time of its formation. Seldom, indeed, are the preli minary expectations realised—unexpected difficulties will arise that but too frequently defeat the best in tentions, and afford ample excuse for comparative failure. But on this subject the Retford Society had nothing to reproach itself; it had to offer no apologies, to seek no indulgence; it achieved more than even its most sanguine adherents and supporters could have ventured to anticipate. Oa no single point was there a deficiency or failure. At the time of its formation it was stated that its practical operation would be— 1. To circulate information on the subject of the currency by means of cheap publications. 2. To promote lectures on the currency. 3. To impress their representatives in Parliament with the importance of an alteration in the exist ing laws. These were the modes of action indicated as best calculated to attain' that great desideratum —a large and comprehensive measure of monetary reform, which would afford the nation the inestimable bits- sing of a currency adequate to its wants and ex gencies. A brief and cursory glance at the report itself will show how fully these pledges have been redeemed. On the firit point several cheap and simple, but at the same time most useful and instruc tive publications have been published, of which about 15,000 have been circulated, and these, say the com mittee, " have succeeded in awakening much in terest on the subject." Much more might have been truly said in favour of these admirable little tracts without violating the truth, or in any degree infringing upon the laws of modesty, which forbid self-praise. We can say that they contain a variety of sound in formation, conveyed in a plain and lucid style, so as to be perfectly intelligible to every person of ordinary capacity, and to afford a general insight into the merits of a question that has been erronembly stated to be of the most abstruse and difficult cha racter ; while even those who have studied the matter in all its details will derive additional instruction from these unpretending little works. It is, indeed, delightful to find that there has been a demand for 15,000 copies, and that within so brief a period as has elapsed since their appearance. We may fairly calculate that, on an average, each copy has passes through at least four different hands; here, then, we find no less than 60,000 persons whose " interest has been awakened on the subject," which is shown to be of the most vital importance to their own welfare and happiness. It is impossible that any unprejudiced person can rise from their perusal without at least being desirous of investigating the matter further, and seeking addi tional information in case any doubts should remain. Now this is all we desire as monetary reformers. Convinced of the justice and expediency, the wisdom and policy, of a thorough revision of that iniquitous and inequitable code that double rivets the chains of the debtor, and deprives industry of its legitimate rewards, we only seek to excite a spirit of inquiry, for where that exists there can be no doubt as to the result. " Magna est veritas, et prcevalebit." Truth is great, and will unquestionably prevail whenever there is full and free discussion. Oar greatest enemy is that culpable apathy, the chilling indifference which is but too frequently exhibited, when persons, even men in comparatively - - high positions, who are perhaps looking for ward to a seat in the Legislature, ,profess their total ignorance on by far the most im portant topic that can come before Parliament. When, however, the various constituencies become interested in the subject, when persons in the enjoy ment of the elective franchise have studied the ques tion and made themselves masters of its details, the would-be representatives will be compelled.for very shame's sake to refrain from such humiliating and dis graceful confessions, and to select a banner under which to array themselves—to rank themselves among the friends or opponents of mone tary reform. And this will be achieved if other cur rency societies similar to that of Retford be formed in each district, and publications circulated in the lo cality calculated "to awaken the interest of 60,000 persons." On this point, then, no doubt can remain but that the Retford Society has faithfully and effi ciently discharged the obligation it assumed of " cir culating information on the currency." On the second point, we find that the services of the clear-beaded and talented JONATHAN DUNCAN, the efficient secretary of the National Currency Reform Association, were obtained. That gentleman delivered lectures— which it is almost a work of supererogation to say were "able," for what has ever fallen from him, in speaking or writing, that was not " able" and perti nent to the topic under discussion ?—atNewark,Work sop, Lincoln, and Retford. Public meetings were (two), 9 fu l r l d erton, at Retford (two), Carlton i n Li n d er i c , a a n ls d o a h t e l ld vnr a k t so T p, ux Market Bosworth; and Derby, in which Mr. TWELLS enlightened the auditors with those admirable addresses to which it has so repeatedly been our pleasing duty to direct the public attention. It is unnecessary to say how the duties devolving upon such men as Mr. DUNCAN and Mr. TWELLS were dis charged. Their assertions, sustained by the most convincing evidence, the most logical arguments, could not be controverted or denied, and it is not too much to say that they induced many thinking men to bestow serious consideration on this all-important document. On the third point various petitions to both Houses of Parliament were adopted, which were numerously and influentially signed, and which, we doubt not, will have considerable effect in bringing the subject under the consideration of the Legislature during the approaching session. In every manner and on every point, then, the Retford Society has faithfully per formed its promises, and we only hope that the in creased moans that must unquestionably flow to its coffers, not only from the inhabitants of the vicinity, but from all parts of the country, may be applied with similar judgment and discretion, and be productive of equal advantages to the good cause. We cannot conclude without expressing our appreciation of the compliment paid to ourselves for the put we have taken on the all-important question. We have merely given utterance to our honest convictions, we have discharged the sacred duty which devolved upon us as public journalists of endeavouring to pro mote, by every means in our power, the attainment of those measure on which the prosperity of England mainly depends. We confess, however, that it i s satisfactory to find so handsome an acknowledgment of our labours as that contained in the report of the Retford Currency Society. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. c. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The National has the following :—At the moment of going to press we received, with a request for im mediate insertion, the following letter, addressed by the Honourable General CAvA:Gstac to the editor of the Illoniteur du Soir : " Monsieur to Redacteur,—l have just seen an article in your journal this evening. I give a public contra diction to whoever may preteed to have ever heard me utter a single word which was not expressive of the deepest respect for the fundaments,' law of the country. I giro a formal contradiction to whoever shall prettnd to have heard me say, directly or indirectly, that 1 should ever place my efiectiona and my sword at the service of him, who, after having sworn to observe the constitution of the country, would accept a candidate ship, and an election prohibited by that constitution. Accept; &c." The following is the passage of the article in the Moniteur du Soir, to which General CAVAIGNAC gives such a peremptory contradiction : "A representative of a southern department, ex pressed hie astonishment to General Cavaignac, at the silence which he had observed relative to the opinion attributed to him by M. Savalette, on the subject of the prolongation of the powers of the President of the Re public. Why should I put myself forward,' replied the General; ' why should I correct inexactitudes of recital more or less intentional?' But, in fact,' again asked the representative, what do you think of the solemn election of 1852, and what will you do, if, not withstanding the terms of the constitution, the immense majority of voters should again confer the Presidency of the Republic on Louis Napoleon Bonaparte?' If the majority of the country,' replied General Cavaignac, • were to declare itself in that way, I cannot admit the right cf any one to place himself above the will cf the country, freely expressed. What the country wishes every one should wish. If it be clearly and loudly shown that France, of her sovereign authority, again invests Louis Napoleon Bonaparte with the office of first magis trate of ;he Republic, I bow with respect and submission before the majesty of such a wish; I again place my aff,ctions and my sword at the service of the country and of its executive representative, and defend them wish all the vigour of my patriotism against the attacks of the parties vanquished in 1830 and in 1848. The country and its will before all.' The truce between the' Bonapartists, the Legiti matists, and the Orleanists has already ceased, and their respective organs in the press are now attacking each other as energetically as ever; the ALLAIS affair (Arzeis is the man who gave information to M. Yost of the plot for the assassination of General CHAN GARNIER), seems destined to be a perpetual source of annoyance to poor M. CARLIER; finding that his attempt to pooh-pooh the revelations of ALLOTS did not succeed, he sent a physician to examine him, with orders to report as to h;s state of mind. Dr. BnoussArs accordingly visited him, and reported that he was perfectly sane; then-upon, finding his at tempts to ignore the plot unavailing, N. CARLIER wrote a note to the journals, stating that the club of which ALLAIS was a member was not a Bonapartist club, but was presided over by a celebrated Legitimatist. Had he stopped at this, N. CARLIER, perhaps, would have been safe, but, unfortunately, the worthy Prefect was so " left to himselrasta condescend to particulars, and in the foreign correspondence of a Belgian journal (the foreign correspondence of all the reactionary journals is inspired direct from the office of M. CAR• LIMO, he announced that the celebrated Legitimatist was the colleague of M. CHAMBOLLE ; thereupon the Opinion Publique, the organ of the collergue of M. CHAMBOLLE, publishes the following defiance to M. CARLIER ‘• There has just happened what might have been ex pected. The prefect of police has written to a journal, by the hand of a hussier, that it was a well-knevvn Legi timatist who presided over the Bonapartist society of the Fsubourg Montmartre. Two days utterwarda the Pays, a paper whose relations with power are well known, in quires if this Legitiatmiat do not happen to be a friend of M. Chambclle? To-day we find a Belgian journal giving insertion to a letter from Paris, written by friends of the prefecture of police, that the well-known Legiti matist, the !colleague of M. Ch am h o ll e , i s M.,L eo de La horde. Our friend M. Leo de Laborde authorises us to give a defiance to the prefect of police to write his name at the foot of this allegation of the Belgian journal, • which he declares to be an odious and cowardly calumny, which, as if ashamed of itself, has token refuge in a to ' rrige journal because it could not be published here without a signature. lie calls on the prefect of police to explain himself publicly, and if be keeps silent the public equity will judge this unheard-of proceeding. which introduces into the French press an insinuaticu which, by travelling in the world, becomes at the end of three days a calumny." It was not to be expected that after such an assertion on the part of M. CARLIER, silence would be observed by the Orletuoist M. CHAMBOLLII, and accordingly we find the following in the Ordre : " Do you desire that we should for your edification tell you what the intrigue is that appears too most pro bable, aed in which it is hoped to make you play the part of dupes. People talk about a very little committee, composed of diveree elements, but united by a common thought, that of bringing together through fear the men of your party, even those of different intentions, for the sake of voting the prolongation of the President's p ,wers, and by the following method:—lnquietude would be exerted unceasingly as to the designs, and as to the enterprise more or less near of the ancient Conservatives and ancient Constitutionalists, and as an act of supreme ability the opportune moment would plac:ng the que s ti on b e t ween legitim a cy andSeised this for projeet of prolongati on . If it su it s y o ur purpo s e to make yoursel ves t h e i nstruments of this manceuvre, you may do so; but it is easy to foretell even at this day the effects. Need we try to lead cur readers through the labyrinth of these inventions and tricks? One word is enough. Aey intrigue, no matter what colour it may assume, or from what side it may come, or to what ob ject it may tend, will be openly condemned. Neither surprise nor violence! This was our maxim long before it found its way into the Message of the President. Let us all adopt it for the sake of arriving at the only one honourable solution, which is, that the mejority has a right to decide freely and pacifically what are to be the destinies of the nation." The Council of State has decided that the new Electoral law applies to municipal elections, thus de termining that it applies to all elections, and conse quently to the election of President of the Republic.

On that day the terms of the KING' speech f or the openieg of the Chambers were settled at a Cabinet Council, over which the KING presided. The movements of troops in Austria, Bavaria, and Wirtemburgh have been temporarily supended. The National Gazette of Berlin of the 17th says : "It is reported that two opinions are formed in the Ministry on the subject of the ultimatum of Austria. M. de Ladenberg wishes that the mobilisation should not be merely a demonstration, as M. de Manteuffel desires, bet that it s h ou ld be made use of to act militarily. 'Se veral councils of Ministers have been held; they have not yet led to any result, but it is expected that before the end of next week it will be known whether M. de Ladenberg or M. de Manteuffel will tile directindept h e e nd G a o n v c e e r Govern ment merit in the midst of the storm with which it is threat • t- ned." The Austrian party (says Brussel,) has triumphed in the Senate of Ham burgh. That Assembly has declined the invitation of Prussia to furnish its contingent of troops as having adhered to the Union. The Cologne Gazette states from Nuremberg, 14.1 i, that on the previous day the Government had trans mitted orders to the directors of the railway to re establish the service in the regular manner. The transport of merchandise would immediately recom mence, now that there was an end put to the convey- 1 ance of troops. The Breslau Gazette has the following from Vienna, 14th:—" A military council is held here Every day, at which the EMPEROR presides. Field- Marshal RADETZKY, the Minister of War, and the Generals of the Staff, are present at it. This council directs all the important measures connected with the army. A grand military review is to take place in a few days, at which Field-Marshal RADETZKY Will be presented to the troops as Duke of COiTOZZA and NOVARA." A letter dated Konigsberg, Nov. 14, says:— " The Landwehr ht clits is already equipped, and will be ready for marching tomorrow. Thai of the 2d class will be ready on the 19th. Three light bat. teries have already left f Ewing and Dazzle. The storms along the coast hare been attended with ship wreck. Two English vessels have gone down, and every soul on board perished. One of Linn] was the Line from Exeter, Martin master." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Advices which we have received from Rendsburg contradict the late statement, according to which the Cabinet of Berlin had desired the Stadtholders to submit to Denmark. The Stadtholders have received no such notification from the Prussian Cabinet. Hanover has protested against the proposal to join its troops to the Federal army ; but no protest has been made against the march of that army through the Hanoverian territory. Our advices from Copenhagen are of the 16th inst. Thy contain no news of public interest. Baron Pechlin has arrived in the Danish capital. NOVEMBER 22, 0,50. 110 LL A Nli: Tun HAGUE, Nov. 19.—1 n the sitting of the Cham ber on the 16'h, the house adjourned to this day, at eleven o'clock, when the following projects of law were to be discussed :-1.

EFFECT OF RATIONAL AMUSEMENTS ON THE PEOPLE. - The Queen's marriage was honoured at Manches ter by all the public institutions of the town being thrown open gratuitously to the public. More than 0,000 persons visited the Zoological Gardens; yet we learn from a speech of Mr. S. Greig, at the annual meeting of the Macclesfield Useful Knowledge Society, that no wanton mischief was done or property ;destroyed, the whole amount of damage sustained consisting of some of the grass sod being .trampled down by the presence of this immense concourse of people; and as a sequel to all it is a fact that after this universal holi day, when the whole population had been turned out to enjoy themselves, the next morning there were fewer than even the ordinary number of cases of drunkenness brought before the bench of magistrates.— Penny Magazine, Dec. 5, 1840. PRINTERS' ALMSHOUSE FUND.—A dramatic per• formance, we perceive, is announced to be given by the members of the Printers' Dramatic Society, at the Strand Theatre, to-morrow (Saturday' evening, in . aid of the en dowment fund connected with the above valuable institution.

THE GREAT SALE AT THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE. --MENAI STRAITS, TIIIIIISDAY. - Tir sale of the immense surplus materials at the Britannia-bridge, and whichis being attended by a very large number of buyers and bidders fro m all parts, commenced on Tuesday morning, amidst a storm of wind and rain, such as has not been witnessed in the loca lity for years past. The spring-tide was raised by the gale to an unusual height, overflowing the incessant the M ena i , and the spray was carried by the storm in one cloud beneath the arches of the bridge. It was some time before the subsidence of the waters enabled the purchase rs to occupy the groand, but soon after the auction commenced with great spirit, the articles consisting of enormous balks and quanti ties of timber, workshops, offices, sets of stages, fire- eng i nes, and iron by tons on tons, realising fair prices. Th e f i rst day's sale consisted of 258 lots. Yesterday ( Wednesday the second day's sale, there was a very good attendance, an d the prices were better than on .the previous day. Th ere were 250 lots, consisting of the 10-inch ropes and hawsers, from 100 to '2OO fathoms each, manufact ure d expressly for the bridge by London and Liverpool makers. There were seve ral or Carter and Kisbee's life-buoys, anchors of from 5 cwt. to 15 cwt., cable stoppers, capstans, boats, and chains. The proceeds of each day's sale a re estimated at upwards of a thousand pounds. To-day (Thursday) and to-morrow the most valuable articles, such as the hydraulic presses, chains, &c., will be brought under the hammer. When marriage is founded on prudence and honour, life has a definite object, and existence becomes a substantial blessing. Eliza Cook's Journal. We have reason to believe that the letter of Lord John Russell to the Bishop of Durham will lead to results which were little anticipated at the time of its publication. We are informed, from good aut h or i ty, that i t is likely to create very great confusion in the Irish Government. It is even whispered that (ne of the chief law officers of the Crown has either already resigned or is about to resign his situation, on the ground that he cannot with any satisfaction to himself retain his connexion with a Government whose head has spoken so slightingly of th ose ceremon i es of hi s religion, which he regards with feelings of profound reverence, as to call them "mummeries."—Advertiser, TILE SHARE MARKETS.
