NOVEMBER 26, 1850. Mr. LATIMER, the esteemed and respected pro prietor of the Western Times, has eminently entitled himself to the thanks and gratitude of the public press of every class and denomination, of every shade and variety of political opinion. To his energetic exertions, his zealous and unflinching determination, sustained by a manly and uncompromising spirit, we are indebted for the important decision yesterday pronounced by the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of " TO. Quern v. Latimer," fur the interpreta tion of oneiof the most valuable provisions of Lord CAmrnaLL's Libel Act, by Lord CAMPBELL himself and his judicial brethren. We have it now, on the highest, the most unquestionable authority, that the illagna Charta of the press, the just and salutary law that. afforded a tardy protection to the " Fourth Estate," from the frivolous and vexatious attacks to which it had previously been subjected, shall not be frittx.red away, or neutralized by nice distinctions or fine-drawn technicalities; that the language deliberately and solemnly adopted by the Legislature shall he undeistond in its plain and ordinary meaning, without being clogged or re stricted by the narrow-minded erk.ctments of bygone ages. • It is scaly necessary to recall the public atten tion to the facts and circumstances out of which the proceedings in the case in question originated. If Mr. LATIVERIS bold and unflinching deknce of the principles of Protestantism., his earrp,h4 and straight forward prote*t against the Tractsrian and Puseyite errors which had unfortunately crept into the Church of .Erylaod, and been fostered and nourished by ton many of her , unworthy ? sons, e••uld speedily have pa.34eci 1 2 0 in te puliiie re co ll ec ti-z, there weed ba but little to encourage pub lic men in - their arduous, and but too frequently • unrequited, labours. Mr. LATIMER was one of the first exponents of that Protestant feeling which has more recently been so nobly demonstrated throughout the length and breadth of the had, which has received the official stamp and imprimatur, the unqualified endorsement of the First Lord or' the Treasury, the head of her MAJESTY'S Government, wiih the full sanction and consent of his colleagues. Like Earl FITZWILLIAM, Mr. LATIMER felt that it was not merely "a question between the Church of Rome and the Church of England, but Otte between the power and doctrines of the Church of Rome and the Reforn - kation itself—the Reformation not as bited, not as displayed in the Church of England alone, but of all the sects which have grown up since the Reformation, which have been the faithful off. pring of the Reformation, in all of which vital Christianity is to be found," and which constitute the strength and safety of "Protestant England." He also believed, as Lord Joust RUSSELL now believes, that there were more formidable dangers to be apprehended from the traitors within than from the acknowledged and avowed enemy without the camp—from "the unworthylsons of the Church of England herself, clergymen who, having subscribed the Articles and acknowledged in explicit terms the QUEEN'S supremacy, had been the most forward in leading their flocks, step by step, to the verge of the precipice," than from any foregn prince or potentate, no matter what might be his pretensions. Animated by these convictions he boldly erected the Protestant standard, and in glowing language most ably depicted the consequences of the " modern heresy" in a manner that placed the Western Times on a pinnacle and elevation hat few modern journals have attained. For this conduct, while he earned for himself the thanks and gratitude of the Protestant community, of all-sects and denominations, he acquired perhaps a more ho nourable distinction—the fervent hatred, the - un - quenchable animosity of the advocates of innovation. No punishment was sufficient for his crime—the Western Times should be put down, its daring pro prietor crushed by every species of annoyance and persecution that could be devised ; or, at least, he should be driven from the position he had assumed — compelled to desert the banner under which he bad fought and proved himself to be "a soldier of the faith," so vigorous and efficient. For this purpose actions, indictments, and informations were resorted to. The law of libel in all its varied and oppressive forms was pressed into the service ; and it was hoped that his unconquerable spirit would be broken by " damages," " "imprisonments," but, above all, by " costs"--the modern instrument of torture, more potent than any retained within the dungeon vaults or torture-cham bers of the Inquisition. But these persons knew little of the man with whom they had to deal. Strong in the justice of his cause, confident in the honour and integrity of British juries, Mr. LATIMER accepted the various gages of battle which were flung down. His tone was unchanged. It was not bolder or more uncom prising than that which he had adopted in the.first instance—for that was impossible—but it was equally energetic, equally decisive. His denunciations were repeated with equal vigour and determination, and flinging personal considerations to the winds, he con tinued the steadfast and faithful champion of the sacred cause for which he had armed himself. We will not say that Mr. LATIMER had no cause to regret this decision, for even the most successful litigation must ever entail heavy pecuniary expenditure end serious pecuniary losses to the parties ; but he was not mis taken in his firm reliance on English juries. The shafts by which he was assailed were hurled back upon his opponents with double power ; and he still maintains the even tenor of his way, having, as we have already stated, eminently entitled himself to the thanks and gratitude of every Protestant throughout the length and breadth of the land, and placed his journal, the Western Times, on an elevation which cannot easily be attained by any rivals. Among other proceedings instituted against him was a criminal information for an al leged libel, the subject- matter of the recent decision of the Court of Queen's Bench, to which we alluded in the commencement of this article. As in other cases, Mr. LA TIMER was eminently suc cessful. The trial took place at Exeter, and the honest English jury unhesitatingly and unanimously returned a verdict for the defendant. A conditional order was subsequently obtained, requiring the Master to tax the costs due to the defendant in con sequence of the verdict in his favour. Against this rule cause was attempted to be shown yesterday, by counsel on behalf of the prosecutor. The Learned Gentleman who appeared in opposition to the rule endeavoured to prove that the 4 and 5 Wm. and Mary, cap. 16, was to be taken into consider ation along with the 6 and 7 Vic., cap. 96. By the former of these statutes it was provided that a party who obtained liberty to file a criminal information, should enter into recogninnces conditioned for the due prosecution of the information, and with that was a condition that if, on the trial, the verdict should be for the defendant, then and in such ca-e the Court of Queen's Bench mien award the defendant his costs, unless the judge before whom the information was tried should, on the trial of such information, in open court certify that there was reasonable ground for exhibiting such information. From this it was argued that the costs could not be given at all, or, at all events, that they should be limited to the amount of the recogni itnces, 201., thus setting aside the plain and obvious meaning of the later and more equitable statute o VICTORIA. The attempt was, however, a total failure ; Lord CAMPBELL declared that " it seemed to him to be the intention of the Legislature to give the defendant his costs ; and he did not think that intention could be expressed in a plainer or more explicit manner." In that opinion he was confirmed by the high authority of Justices COLERIDGE, WIGHTMAN, and ERLE, and the rule bas accordingly been made absolute without a dissentient voice. On this important judgment we congratulate the community in general, who have a deep interest in the integrity and welfare of the publi c press. We congratulate our brother journalists on the heavy blow and great discouragement thus given to the petty annoyances and persecutions to which they have been, or may be, subjected by vindictive oppo nents, but, above all, we congratulate Mr. LATImEE, who has thus deservedly obtained the meed of his un tiring exertions, who has gained a triumph and victory of which he may well be proud. Our correspondent " MARINERO" has mistaken us. We never intended to draw an invidious distinction between his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND and his gallant companions in the list of flag-officers. Indeed we took occasion, explicitly and distinctly, to repudiate any such intention. Our sole reason fur referring to his Grace individually was that in his promotion to the rank of Admiral we recognised the last illustration of that fallacious system of advance ment against which we have so long inveighed as against a system detrimental to the interests and enervating to the energies of our maritime pro Whoever might have been the object of promotion we should have taken exception to, as we took exception to his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, not so much as regards the fact as the manner of bis promotion. What we have protested against already so frequently, and shall continue unremittingly to protest against until such time as we perceive a comprehensive and adequate innovation, is the circumstance that we are supporting a number of flag-officers in the Royal Navy of Eng land, so unnecessarily enormous that we might select out of the list an admiral for every one of her MA • J E` , TY'S vessels of war. While such is the unthinking extravagance displayed by England in reference to her flag-uklicers, her lieutenants may grow grey in undeserved obscurity and sigh in vain for the oppor tunity for promotion. -In this blundering and obdurate system we observe so many germs of injustice, and such very fi'grant inconsistencies, that we can never cease asserting the folly of its continuance. The superfluous hardships thrust upon the junior officers of the servico are too egregious and too unmerited to mope any reasonable observation ; while the "witless of promoting after s certalo stage, and not before, upon the princi ple of seniority, without any regard whatever for personal inflit. or brilliant services, compels us fr, , tn its prominence to d.mand some speedy and holesome revision of the entire scheme of naval adeniniitration. rePsion. A few emphatic and significant truths force them selves upon our consideration whenever our thoughts revert to the conduct of affairs in the maritime ser vice of Great Britain. Age is no more essential to a commander-in-chief by sea than it is to a commander in-chief by land. ALEXANDER had conquered Asia before he was thirty-two. NAPOLEON had van quished Northern Italy and had beaten back the veterans under WIIEMSER before he Was Clavz Was still little more twenty-seren. SUN, THE LONDON, than a stripling when he raised that standard in Hin dustan which commenced our labours of oriental spoliation, and quashed the French influence, even when presided over by the ambi t ious LA BOURDON • NAIS. It is true that Leal HOWE was little less than an octogenarian when he gained the glorious battle of the Ist of June ; and equally true that the snows of many years and of yet many more misfortunes had whitened the hair of COLUMBUS before he set out on his voyage of discovery across the At lantic. At the same time it must be remem bered that some of the most illustrious of our naval heroes, and of our navigators, have achieved great things while yet in the freshness of their manhood. Captain Coot had circumnavigated the globe, and penetrated to many of the islands in the southern archipelago, before age had blunted his ener • gies or moderated his enthusiasm, hie frame being still in its full vigour on the day when he was barbar ously assassinated. Sir SIDNEY SMITH was a post cap tain at eighteen, and Lord NELSON had passed throttgh the whole of his eventful career, had lost an arm and an eye, had conquered at Sr. Vincent, at the Nile, and at Copenhagen, and was yet only forty-seven years of age when he expired iu the arms of victory at Trafalgar. Accord ing to the existing system of things in the British navy such rapid promotions are altogether impracti cable, and a man must, in the majority of instances, have hid the fire of his genius burnt, for the most part, out before he can hope to obtain his fig, supposing him to be sufficiently lucky to have got posted. Such tardy advancements, moreover, are rendered still more melancholy to witness when at the sane mo ment we find this erroneous scheme of arrange ment overstocking the service with a prodigal and even useless number of admirals. The mein princi ple on which the whole plan is founded appears, in short, to be radically fallacious. Promotion in the higher ranks of the naval profession should be indi vidually more rapid and collectively less frequent. The number of flag-officers should be diminished numerically, and yet at the same time (or rather we might say for that very reason) be rendered more efficient. There should be a liberal criterion of merit, and not an inflexible regulation of seniority. Were these changes introduced, of course with all due pre , caution, and were the scale of promotion in some mea sure proportionately equalised throughout the various grades of the profession, we should speedily witness the improvements inevitably consequent on such a proceeding. As it is, we never demanded, iu the hope of these improvements, any but the most cau tious innovation. Without a very careful solicitude for the in-erests of the present members of the profes sion, injustice might be done to them with a view to the benefit of their successors. Such we would on no account witness. What we aspire to see done, at any rate in the first instance, is a graduated diminution in the number of admirals—promotions taking place in such a manner as to yield one for every three deaths. Before any considerable time could elapse from the commencement of such a change the catalogue would be thinned within more reason able dimensions. Then regard might be had in turn for the interests, too long overlooked, of lieutenants and commanders ; and new vigour, by this means, would inevitably be infused into that navy which is peculiarly our national profession. (THE) POPE'S ESSAY ON (THE CREDULITY OF) MAN. —This is a series of butnourous lithographic prints (on the plan of Mr. Crindle's adventure) illustrating the adventures of Cardinal Wiseman, from the time he was dispatched from Rome by the Pope, who, "having done the French Republic out of a superb armchair, and having a stock of showy articles on hand, determines to try the English marker," up to the time of the exposure of the articles in the English market by the Wiseman himself. The articles are severally here exhibited. Among them are a miraculous image of St. IPumpo, which sheds tears in the presence of a heretic, pro vided the Holy Father works the pump-handle, and a notorious prize Roman Bull, bred from Satan's dam and fed at a great cost upon superstition and ignorance, considered by competent judges to be the greatest beast that ever appeared. These illustrations are dashed off with great spirit. BRITISH AMERICAN LAND COMPANY.—Yesterday a special general court of the members of this corporation was held at the offices, New Broad -street; Mr. A. Gillespie in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, the chairman stated that the directors had no particu lar information to communicate, but they had called the shareholders together because opinions had been expressed that the meetings of the company should take place oftener than once a year. He was happy to say that, from the ar rangements which had been made since the last meeting, there was every reason to hope net their affairs would'soon present a m , re favourable aspect. The arrangements re specting the advance of money for the railway had been carried out under the best advice, and with every regard to ih security of the company. The seminary at Montreal had made good its undertaking, and the corpora ion of that city had advanced .25,000/. in debentures. Under these cir cutustances the railway was proceeding with every prospect of success. By the opening of 27 additional miles the rail way would be carried to Acton, one of the principal statione of the line, and where the present company possessed land to the amount of 70,000 acres. The distance from Melville to Montreal was 70 miles, and when the railway should be completed thus far, the company would be enabled to secure Govrument aid. With regard to the collections made during the present year, the Commissioner had stated that they exceeded the amount of the past year by about 2,0001. He was happy to say that the settlers were in a thriving condition, and the general aspect of the country was mate rially improving. The calls upon all the shares in this country had been paid, with the exception of 30, and arange ments were being made which would doubtless lead to the payment of the remainder. Several proprietors expressed their acquiescence in the proceedings of the directors, and a vote of thanks having been passed :,to those gentlemen, the meeting separated. We understand that the condition of the soldier serving in the colonies, with regard to the stoppage exacted for his ration, has been under the consideration of the Go vernment, and that it is intended to reduce the rate from sd. at which it stands at present, to 3id. The necessity for this step has been made apparent in the evidence taken oefore the Committee on Army and Ordnance Expenditure, and the effect of lowering the cost of the ration of 11b. of meat and llb. of bread to 3ed. will be to leave the soldier abroad 8k 1., out of which he will provide himself with other articles of food conducive to his health and his comfort. That this will be attended with an increased expenditure there is no doubt, but when we consider the long expatriation of our soldiers, and the varied and unhealthy climates in which they cheer fully serve, we are quite sure that it is an act of justice and of humanity of which not even the strictest economist will complain. Ix thus increasing the balance of daily pay to be received by the soldier every care will be taken, especially in tropical climates, that a proper proportion is expended in such articles as contribute to preserve his health and contri bute to his efficiency for the due performance of his duties, and no risk will arise that that which is intended as a boon shall be by neglect on the part of the officer, or improvidence on the part of the soldier, converted into an evil. Mr. Thomas Cooper stated at a meeting, an even ing or two ago, that a building was proposed to be erected for the working &asses, capable of holding three thousand people. In addition to the large room for public meetings, there were to be class rooms, library, &c. The cost to b e ten thousand pounds. Several gentlemen have contributed large sums; one in the City, Mr. Saul, has given five hun dred pounds. Several have given sums of one hundred pounds. The greater part of the money, however, is to be raised by shares of one pound each. The building is not to be commenced till half the money is in hand. So confident however, are the projectors, that they are now on the look out for a site whereon to build, which is to be as central es possible. It is always safe to learn, even from our enemieq— seldom safe to venture to instruct even our friends.- Eliza Cook's Journal.

FIRE AT THB GRAND JUNCTION CANAL WHARF. —This forenoon, between ten and eleven o'clock, while the workmen were employed at their usual labour o n t h e w h arf of the Grand Junction Canal Company, City.road, they were alarmed by the sudden outbreak of flames in the store-room, which is situated near the canal. One of the men went up the steps, when he found a fire raging among a quantity of oakum, which was in the centre of the room, and which was filled with tarpauling, deals, ship stores, &c. All hands were at a moment called to assist in extinguishing the flame. Ladders were immediately placed at the several windows and buckets of water were rapidly flung into the midst of the stores ; about 100 men were assisting, whir obtained water from the canal. After the most persevering exertion: the coLflagrai ion was ext ingiaalied. The loss is supposed to be about 100/. How the Ire originated is unknown.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We bave received the Paris papers of Sunday and 3 esterday. - On Sunday PA'is was frig,bted from its propriety by the appearance of the follow irig paragraph in the Prase, to which the intimacy known to have been sub,isting formerly between M. MOLE and M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN gave the semblance at least of credit : " A matter very seriously spoken of at present is the resignation of the-Cabinet, and its being replaced by a Ministry with M. Mole at is head as Minister of Foreign Affairs. This would be France taking part with Austria against Prussia; for the first condition of M. MAI has been the recall of M. Armand Lefebvre, who would in that case be succeeded at Berlin by General Lahitte. Another condition of M. Mole has been that the President of the Republic should remove from his intimacy several of his friends, and in parti• cular M. de Persigny, who appears to be menac:d with the most entire disgrace. Amongst the new .Minitters called on to compose the Mole Cabinet, M. Darn was spoken of. M. Achilie Fould, it was said. e..as to be replaced by an ex-Minister under Louis XVIII. We have in vain endeavour. , d to divine the name. Can it be M. d'Audiffrei, or M. cl'Argout? But these gentlemen were not Ministers under the reign of Louis XVIII. Such a change of Cabinet, under present circumstances, would p0,!, 6 ,-ss an importance at one to b.• appreciated, and which calls to mit;:d the formation of the Pulignac Ministry." _ The Bulletin de Paris of Sunday evening con tained the following contradiction of the rumour "We can declare positively that there is nothing whatever exact in the news given this morning by the Presse, relative to the entry of M. Mold into the Minis try. Eis almost useless to add, that all the conditions attributed by that journal to 111. Mole are completely without foon,lation." The Moniteur of yesterday publishes an officio' note to the bathe effect. The Assembly on Seurday, was occupied in a dis - eueion on the alleged cruel treatment of the political prisoners condemned by the extra-judicial tribunals, at Beurgos and at Versailles. The Minister of the interior, M. B AR/3CH E,;qdopted the ciptoneary tactics of officials in such cases, and declared the treatment was usual, and that no cruelties were committed, and the Assembly passed to the order of the day, by a majority of 475 to 205. On Monday the demand of the Minister of Wet. for crenit to defray the expenses of the levy of 40,000 men was considered in the bureau, and an inter, st ing discussion on the state of affairs in Germany ensued. The Count MOLE, who took an active part in his bureau. strongly recommended a policy of neu trality regarding Germany, giving it as his opinion that it would be unwise for France to throw herself into warlike adventures, unless, indeed, the equili brium of Europe should be affected in a manner dis advantageous to her true interests. M. DE PISCATORY said, that he thought an opportunity should be afforded for the Gevernmentand the Assembly to come to a full and explicit understanding on the subject of the policy to be adopted by France in the present state of Europe. He considered, accordingly, that on the bringing up the report of the committee the Government should explain its intentions, and the Assembly ought to pronounce its opinion. M. DE REMUSAT made a strong speech against Prussia. Ile considered that the proposed unity of Germany would be most in jurious to the interests of France, and for his part, if Prussia should expose herself to a partition l i he did not think it would be right for France to seek to prevent it. Several other members gave it as their opinion that the principles laid down in the PREnDENT'S message desctilad fairly the policy suitable for France. The following is a list of the committee chosen by the bureaux, all of whom, with a couple of exceptions only, belong to the right benches :—Messrs. MOLE, BEDEAU (General), PIS CATORY, GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT, DE RF.MUSAT, DE MONTEBELDO, DE MORNAY, LACROSSE, OUDINOT (General), DARU, DE CORCELLES, DUFOUR, BER RYER, MONTALEMBERT, and the Marquis Of DAL MATIE. TIIE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS, id. i Nominal Prices. M. DE PERSIGNY has arrived from Berlin, and he yesterday was present at a Cabinet Council. He con siders that the King of Pflussf.t will have great diffi culty in restraining the warlike disposition of his peo ple, and that Prussia cannot, and ought not to make any further concessions. Considerable agitation prevailed at the Bourse yes terdaylin consEquence:of the warlike accounts in the German papers received this morning, although hopes are expressed that war will not ensue. The Five per Cents. opened at 921. 40c., rose to 92f. 50c., fell subsequently to 921., and closed at 921. 5e., being a fall ( f one per cent. as compared with the closing price of Saturday last.

PORTUGAL: Advices have been received from Lisbon of the 19th. Serious differences had arisen between the Govern ment and the Bank, in cons, quence of an attempt made by the Government to divert, by decree, cer tain funds, which had been set apart for the payment of a debt due to the Bank, to other purposes. The Bank have published a protest against " the legality, validity, and effect of said decree, and against the Ministers who signed it, as having thereby acted in a most arbitrary and unconstitutional manner." Madame STourz and CLARA NOVELL() are engaged as the prime donne of the Lisbon Opera. GERMAN Y. Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the 23d. On that day, in the sitting of the Second Chamber, the Polish deputies, who have hitherto re fused to take the oath to the Constitution, declared themselves now ready to d o so . Th ey state as t h e i r reason for so doing, that they have now been elected by the people according :to the Election Law of the Constitution as revised; th e p eo pl e h av i ng th us vir tually recognised the C onst i tution by exercising the political duty it lays upon them, the deputies have no reason for withholding their recognition. The Committee for drawing up the address was appointed ; among the members of it are M. Camp hausen, M. von Bodelschwin g h s M . von Kleist-Ret sow, M. von Patow, M. Harcourt, an d M . von Vi nc k e. The Committee is to sit this evening, and the address will probably be ready by Monday. The rest of the business was confined to the appointment of secretaries and other formal matters. The First Chamber held no sitting. The Holstein question remained und ec id e d, an d i n Hesse Cassel afairs remained in statu quo. The intelligence from Vienna is to the 21st. The Wiener Zeitung publishes an Imperial rescript submitted to the EMPEROR by the Minister of the Interior, in the name of the Cabin e t, pro hibi t i ng the publication, either in public journals or in any other printed publication whatever, of all communic 1- tions relative to the movements of the troops in the empire, their strength and position, the trans port and depi sof military stores---in fine, every similar c ommun i ca tion whichis calculated to tn,ke known the plan and the tendency of milit ary operations. U n d e r this prohibition such intelli gence only is ex em p t w hi c h is made public by th e official j. , urnals o f th e coun try. The first transgression of this law will be punished by a fine of 500 guilders ; the second offenc e will be subject to a judicial prose cution and the total suppression of the newspaper. The Court of Inquiry where the prosecution will bz9 carried on may determine as to whether the sup pressed journals shall be permitted to appear again, and at what time. The editor of the Lloyd has been fined 100 flori ns for havi ng i nserte d a m i l i tary c ommunication. The Wiener Zeitung offi Aally contradicts the reported illness of his Majesty the Emperor FER DINAND. It was rumoured in Vienna that Kossuna had es taped fr..m Kutaiuh. The movement of trooos still continued. ALLEGED POISONING OF THE SULTAN. It was stated in Vienna that a telegraphic dispatch had been received from Constantinople, announcing that Sultan ABDUL MESCIIID had bee❑ poisoned. the rumour, howevtr, was not credited.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es titulted at 4 000 bales, comprising 3.500 American, 200 Fermin] and Maranham, at Bd. to 81q., SO Bahia at 8i 1. to 84d., and 300 Surat at sd. to 6u. per lb. The market closed steadily at previous rates.—Railway Shares wore quiet, at rather lower prices. Upon the condition of the dried fruit trade, Messrs. Wither by and Hanson report that there have been large clearances of currants for home use. The character of the currants hitherto received has been better than was expected. Prices are now 6s. to 83. per cwt. higher than in November 180. Oa taking a general view of the fruit trade, it seems that the capability of consumption this year equals, if it do riot surpass, that of any previous year, and a great business is expected to be done between this and the end of the year, both in London and at the outports. Cape of Good Hope papers to Oct. 3 have been re ceived. Large public meetings had been held, to ex press the feeling of the inhabitants in reference to a new Constitution and a Parliament ; and the Commissioners appointed to draw up the draft, and to regulate the qualifications of members of the proposed legislature, appear to have accomplished their task to the satisfaction of their constituents. The liberality of her Majesty's Government, in permitting the colonists to express their views as to the form of constitution that might be considered desirable, had excited much enthusiasm, and was lauded as an ex ample of the truth that there may be as much freedom under a monarchy as a republic. The intelligence from Graham's Town to the 25th of September reports the prevalence of severe drought throughout British Kaffraria. From Amsterdam, under date of Sunday, we learn that there was no animation in the funds. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. were 541. Mexican Stock was better. At Frankfort and Paris the funds were lower, owing to the prevalence of various rumours. The letters received yesterday from Canada are cf even a more encouraging tone than theme recently to hand. Two of the most eminent houses in Quebec are said to have offered to take stock to: the amount of nearly 40.0001. in the projected line of steamers from Liverpool to that city. The Quebec Gazette, alluding to this matter, re marks—" The advantages of such a means of communication to all connected with the trade of the St. Lawrence would be very great. Our geographical position fits us much better to be the point 1f debarkation of the emigrant from Europe, than either Boston, Philadelphia, or New York; it is a shorter voyage, and from our port there is acheaper, safer, and more comfortable means of conveyance to the far west, than from the plsces we have roet,tioned. We do not, how ever, receive that proportion of the passenger trade to which these advantages entitle us. It is true that in proportion to our population as a province,:we receive our fair share of emigration, as much, perhaps, as we could profitably absorb. We receive more, in proportion to our population, than the United States ; about one-eighth of the number landed on their tee riteriee reach our shores, while our population is only one-fifteenth part of that of the Union. With our ad vantages for forwarding passengers to the west, to which the great stream of t migration flows, we ought to re ceive more than this. We consider that the line of steamers, as proposed to be established, carrying cabin passengers at 101. or 15/. sterling, and in the steerage at 51. or 6/. would have the effect of attracting to our waters a very great number of passengers, who now go by the States. At this economical rate, they would also be used by our own merchants and others, and also by many of the Ameri cans from the lakes who have occasion to visit Europe. It is impossible to say how numerous this class of passengers would be, but the number of Canadians who leave New York by every Cunard packet would lead us to believe that it is very large," The English Stock Market is very flat, not in conse quence of any actual later news, but from the circum stance of one or two journals, which have no official in formation, constantly endeavouring to foster the apprehension of a continental war, which cooler reflecting parties yet hope may be averted. Consols have realised 961 for Transfer, and 961 for Account. Exchequer -bills have been 645., to 655.; and India Bonds 86s. premium. Bank Stock has been 2114 to 212. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 974 t. The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have, by the Canada, received advices from thrir agents in Tampico, dat d 12th ult., stating that 10,000 dollars would have been shipped by the Clyde, if she could have waited for a favourable change in the weather, but that they will new be sent. by the next packet. 16,394 dollars in duty bills were still in the hands of the agents, for collection for account of the bondholders. The Foreign Market has been very inactive. The three new projects for an arrangement of the Spanish Debt, as f awarded to the Committee of Bondholders, have not excited much interest, and it is felt that there will yet be great delay ere a settle■.- ment is come to. The nominal value of the Five per Cents. is 171 to 18, and of the Three per Cents. 38 to 39i. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been done at 33 to 34. Mexican nave declined to 3l 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 56k. Railway Shares are not so good. There is a decline in Caledonian, ?Aberdeen, North-Western, South-Eas ern, and most others. Consols ...
