About nine summers back a little pamphlet was published in London commending to the attention of the people and of the Legislature the necessity of evincing more care for the comforts and the education of the "Mariners of Englend." It has afforded us high gratification to observe that a second edition of this exeellent brochure* has just appeared, preceded by a recommendatory let ter addressed by the author to the Pre sident of the Board of Trade, the Right llon. HENRI LABOUCHERE. From the generous character of the suggestions offered by the pamphle teer, and from the respectful attention hitherto shown towards his unselfish and patriotic recommendations, we are sanguine that more than a few incidental hints ' may be taken from his advice, and that if the whole of his scheme, as it is here sketched out, be not carried out et ith a scrupulous exactitude, some plan in accordance with it may be adopted by the Administration. The latter effect of the present appeal in fact, what we principally hope, and what we may without temerity anticipate from the hinds of the ruling Government. Not an administrator atnon t e,-st those constituting the - Russell Cabinet o •-t cordially in th e d es i re but must sympathise m thus characteristically expressed by Mr. Boon, that our living statesmen may " realise the highest honour in bringing into existence a - system which will/ take the sailor under convoy from tha moment he prepares for the stormy !life of a sea boy, and, offering him help in distress, from " The Condition and Claims of British Seamen; with a Plan for their Improvement." By W. 11. Bond, Royal Navy. Second Edition. Bro., pp. 20. Ridgway, London, Isso. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 18, 11150 acci,ellt or sickness, ehall, when egad and ueservice• aide, bring him to a7l anchor safety in the smooth haven provided by a nation's gratitude." In reference t the e-tablist - ment of such a system, there is not a men amongst us but must entertain seine feeling. of .eulicitude. For up er the adoption of a e ,urse like the otie here indicated, the efficient conduct of our marine force is directly dependent. It must be sufficiently evident, moreover, to the intellects of the multitude that a proceeding such as the one suggested by our pamphleteer, a proceeding which would ensure the proper educa tion of our seamen, would not in any respect he at variance with the views known to be entertained by the Government. So far, indeed, from those views being antagonistic to the opinions advanced in the publication before us, they are identical in principle, and only differ in the extent of their application. - Upon this point Mr. BOND thus ventures to express himself in his letter to Mr. LADOUCHERE " The benefits," he says, " that will accrue to the community, whose interests I have taken upon myself to advocate, by the Act cf Parliament you are about to place before the Legislature, are undoubtedly great ; but, with humble submission, I venture earnestly to suggest that, unless your measure be sufficiently extensive to embrace the education of seamen, and thus prepare them to take their proper place in the scale of society, and to fulfil all their duties with credit and advantage, and unless you furnish them with the means of preparing for the examinations which you require them to undergo, you will apply but an imperfect remedy to existing evils." The reasonableness of which suggestion it would be frivolous to con tradict. It is from no momentary approval of the scheme, that we are induced to refer to the system indicated in the pamphlet under consi deration, but from a serious conviction, arrived at after mature reflection upon the perils and difficul ties surrounding the career of a seaman from the first moment of his entrance into the maritime ser vice until the honourable but melancholy period when he becomes superannuated, that we com mend the suggestions of the pamphleteer to the public, confident that the sentiments from which thou) suggestions have emanated must sooner or later have their due weight with the Go vernment. A glimpse at the skeleton:plan, pencilled out by Mr. BOND, will be enough to assure the mind of the reader of the earnestness with which that gentleman has meditated over this possible amelioration. He proposes, as the nucleus of the entire system, that a Central Model School should in the first instance be established in the metropolis, for the purpose of afferding instruction to those who are destined to occupy the position of masters in the local seminaries. This model school he proposes, moreover, should be erected as near as possible to the East and Nest India Docks, with a view to locate it in the centre of the principal mercantile marine establishments. In every seaport town throughout the kingdom he would next have established a free school for the admission cf all children intended to adopt the marine service as their profession. As to the discipline recommended by him for the central establishment and the local seminaries of instruction, e must direct those who may be curious to the pages of the pamphlet itself, satisfied that the msjority ill be disposed to coincide with the different re commendations. How the expenses of the entire scheme are to be provided, in what . manner they are to be collected, and in what prc portions distributed, are fully explained in the sub sequent portion of Mr. BOND'S ingenious and benevolent publication. Convinced that although so long and undeservedly overlooked, the present advice must shortly exercise its merited influence over the question of marine improvement, we again commend the pam. phlet of Mr. BOND to the attentive consideration of the multitude. There is positively no accounting for tastes. We should have supposed that the position of the Bishop of EXETER, after the just and wise decision of the Judicial Committee on the appeal of the Reverend GEORGE CORNELIUS GOILUAII, was about as unenvi able as any in which a prelate or minister of the Church by law established could be involved. His Lordship bad made an attempt, in which he was most signally defeated. He had endeavoured to establish for himself an unbounded supremacy over the con scieeces of the clergy, who either hvl 1, or might be meninated to benefices in his Lordship's diocese. He arrogated to himself an infallibility in matters of doctrine, and desired that the ministers of religion who were placed under his episcopal jurisdiction should humbly acknowledge that infallibility, and that none should venture to differ in opinion, even within the degree cf latitude acknowledged by the articles of the Church and the Constitution of the country, from what might chance to be hie sovereign will and pleasure. Happily for that Church and for the country he has completely and decisively failed in his attempt. The Lords of the Privy Council by a larg e majority, and with the full sanction of their Graces the Archbishops of CANTERBURY and YoRK, decided that the suffragan Bishops were aot invested with the despotic power and authority claimed by the Right Rev. Prelate; that the opinions of Mr. GonuA were not heretical, or such as to disqualify him from the enjoyment of the ecclesiastical preferment to which he had been nominated ; and, finally, that the pious and amiable appellant was as fully entitled to the possession of the privileges and emoluments be longing to the vicarage of Bampford Speke as his Lordship was to those appertaining to his own see of Exeter. When that decision was pronounced not sing remained for the Right Reverend Respondent, or for those ministers by whom he was sustained and supported, but to bow with submission to a judgment which might be regarded as virtually that of the SOVEREIQN, the supreme head of the Church. What ever doubts might be entertained with respect to points of doctrine, none were possible as to the posi tion and authority of our Most Gracious QUEEN. That at least had been settled beyond the possibility of dispute or question by solemn Acts cf Parliament and by the canons of the Church itself. Who ever should venture to contemn and rebel against that authority became, ipso facto, heretics and schismatics.. They were dissenters from its funda mental principles, and could no longer retain prefer ment or station therein. Judging, then, by their own rules, and by the doctrines on which they in sisted, and by which they professed to be guided and governed, they were bound to yield a prompt and implicit obedience to the supreme head of their Church, the sole arbiter and judge of all " errors, heresies, schisms, abuses, offences, contempts, and enormities, whatsoever they might be." Any denial of that authority would at once subject them to ex cotemumication under the 11th Canon, and to all the penalties of a prwmunire, including the forfeiture of all their goods and chattels, and confinement during the Monarch's pleasure. The draught, however unpalatable, must therefore be swallowed. The judgment must be accepted with out qualification or subterfuge, and the behest of the SOVEREIGN, communicated through the Lords of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, car ried into execution without murmuring or repining. We cannot doubt but that such will be the course adopted on the present occasion by the Bishop cf EXETER. We cannot lend the least credence to the rumour put forward through the columns of a weekly contemporary, that his Lordship will venture to resist the decision, or endeavour to continue an obstinate and pertinaceous resistance to one of the most unquestionable, and best established prerogatives of the Crown. We cannot suppose that he would through his contumacity relinquish the mitre, and assume the position or a dissentirg clergy - man. Although the Church of England might sus ta'n a greater calamity without any very ruinous cons • quences, we cannot conceive the possibility of the Bishop acting so insane a part, and will not be lieve it until it is established by evidence beyond the pale cf scepticism. But whatever doubts may be entertained as to the future conduct of the Bishop none can remain as to the actual proceeding of the Rev. GEOBGZ ANTHONY DENISON, vicar of East Brent, in the county of Somerset, a person wholly uninterested in the issue of the case. That Rev. Gentleman has thought fit to publish, with all due solemnity and de liberation, two of the most extraordinary protests that ever fell under our cognizance as public journalists. IL; has by a formal ai-t, rrpudiated the authority of the SOVEREIGN in matters of doctrine, and thereby abandoned his status as a member of the Church. He has declared his QUEEN, the two Arch bishops, and a number of eminent men of considerable experion,ce and d•stinguished learning., to be heretical, and to have dune " injury anri dishonour to CHRIST and to his Holy Church." Ile has taken upon himself to affirm that the " sentence is neces- sarily false that it gives " public legal sanction to the teaching of fake doctrine, and therein and thereby has a great and manifest tendency to lead into error of doctrine, or to encourage to persevere in error of doctrine, or to p!unge finally into heresy all such as are tempted, in one degree or another, to deny the faith of CHRIST its respect of the Holy Sacrament of Baptism"—and he " warns all the Christian people of his parish to beware of allowing themselves to be moved or influenced thereby in the least degree. He thus not only plunges into rebellion himself, but calls upon those who sit under his ministry to act in a similar manner, and to exhibit a contumacious re sistance to the authority which, as members of the Church of England, they are bound to respect and reverence. We are no advocates for any unnecessary inter ference with the consciences of our fellow-subjects— we have no desire to witness the revival of the almost obsolete proceedings fJr a prcemunire, an 4 if Mr. D igNISON were a private individual we should suffer him to stultify himself with impunity, and to protest and re-pretest to his heart's content ; but, considering the position he holds es a beneficed clergyman, we hold such a course to be impossible. Such conduct from such a quarter can not be permitted to pass unnoticed or uncensured. We trust that Mr. DENISON, by an early "repent ance and public revocation," may warrant the Arch bishop in restoring him to his place in the Church ; but unless that " repentance and public revocation" he manifested there remains no alternative. The majesty and authority of the law must be vindicated ; the authority of the ST VEREIGN cannot be slighted or despised without some notice being taken and pro ceedings being instituted against the offender. The lion. Member for Montrose has it appears given notice of his intention to ask this evening " what notice the Government intend to take of the protest of Mr. liEstisoN, impugning the judgment of her MAJESTY'S Council in the case of GORHAM v. the Bishop of EXETER, and denying the authority of the Crown as head of the Eqablishcd Church." A distinct and definite answer must be returned to the interrogatory, and it will then be seen what sanction will be af forded by the Minilters of the Crown to an invasion on the most unquestioned and unquestionable of the Royal prerogatives, and what inducement will be held out to others to follow in the path on which Mr. DENISON has so recklessly and wilfully entered. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Satutrday and of yesterday. The Moniteur of Saturday publishes a decree of the PRESIDENT of the Republic which appoints M. B.S.ROCHE, Procureur-General of the Court of Appeal, as Minister of the Interior, in the room of M. FEEDI. NAND BARROT, resigned. The Moniteur else an nounces the appointment of M. FERDINAND BARROT to be Minister at Turin, on a temporary mission, in the room of M. LUCIEN MURAT. The Constitutionnel states that General CHANGAR NIER, and Messrs. TRIERS, MOLE, DE BROGLIE, DE MONTALEMBERT, BEERTER, and SAINT PRIEST, were on Thursday summoned to the Elysee, to give their opinion on the present state of affairs. The resignation of M. FERDINAND BARROT took place in consequence of the advice given by the re actionary chiefs above alluded to by the Constitution nel. If report says true, the PRESIDENT of the Re public has surrendered at discretion to the Royalist reactionaries ; has recanted all his professions of independence; ard has contented henceforth to be the mere tool of the Tnnats, MOLE, and M )NTA. LEMEEBT faction. We do not attach much credit to these rumours, for we cannot believe that LOUIS NAPOLEON would commit such an act of political suicide as, of his own free will, to become the mere " planche Napoleonienne" over which the BOURBONS are to walk to a second Royalist restoration. M. ROUnER, it is said, will succeed M. liartocnE as Procureur-General_i and either Count FLaalikuvr or M. GUSTAVE DE BEAUMONT will succeed General Da LA IIITTII in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Nothing can exceed the chagrin of the reactionaries at the admirably prudent conduct of the people on Friday, who would not make an emente in order to give General CIIANGARNIER an opportunity of mowing them down with cani,ter and grape. The Constitu tionnel of Saturday thus gives vent to the feeling of oisappoirVment felt by the party of order ! (order, GOD save the mark) at the refusal of their adversaries to be irritated into the commission of a breach of the public peace. It sap: : "L^t us remark the astonishing disciplir.e c f our ad vers ,ries. They present to us the sp(ctacle of order ill anarchy. The Red press considers . itself so much in re • volution, that it makes no more articlee, it publishes orders of the day. All its organs repeat the same pro clamation to the pcople, ai a military order is repeated. The demagogical tarty obe3 s as if by a watchword. After the succesi of the Socialists, c. - imes the proclama tion of the ballot at the Hotel de Ville. That solem nity, so triumphant for them, would naturally attract an immense concourse. It has been seen that there were very few sFectators, and no illegal cry was raised. The order had been given by the chi. and it was punctually executed." Among all the strange circumstances which have sprung from the French revolution, not the least strange is certainly this formal complaint on the part of the organ of the Government, that the people not only will not rebel, but that they pay such an implicit obedience to the laws that they will not even raise an illegal cry. The Assernblee Nationale, the organ of the Or leanist Court party of the DE PItASLINS, the TesTes, the DUJANIERS, the Da BEAUFALLONF, et hoc genus omnes, goes a step further than the Constitutionnel. It makes a guess that certain tradesmen have voted' for the successful candidates, and pub lishes their names 'in order to denounce them to the vengeance of the reactionaries. As the votes are given by ballot, it is impossible for the writers of the Assemblee Nationale to have any accurate infor mation on the subject, and we find in the Constitu tionnel and in the Journal des Debats, of Sundae', letters from several of the tradesmen thus denounced, denying that they had voted as stated by the Assembles Nationale. The matter was brought before the Assembly in the sitting of Sa turday by M. DE LASTEYRIC, a moderate Republican, who said that although he was no lawyer, his common sense told him that his conduct was not only calculated to excite hatred and ill-will, and to expose free citizens to threats and intimidations, but was moreover a manifest violation of the law of the land, which declared that the secrets of the ballot• box should be held inscrutable. Tae Minister of Justice began his reply by saying that, much as he applauded conciliation, be could not allow himself to be deceived by such mock conciliation as was exhi bited in the coalition to which the results of the late election were due. This imprudent sally was re ceived with loud shouts of disapprobation by the Mountain, who accused the Minister of being a promoter of civil ;war. When calm was somewhat restored, the Minister proceeded to say that in such a case as the present it was for the individuals who felt themselves aggrieved to bring actions against the newspaper who had so dealt with their names, as the Government.could not be called upon to institute proceedings. M. Bestocnr, the new Minister of the Interior, supported the view of the law taken by his colleague; and with regard to the violation of the secrets of the ballot-box, he begged to remind the House that many individuals who voted boasted afterwards of the way in which they gave their votes, and had themselves to blame if the affair had become subject-matter of discussion. It is quite amusieg to observe the fuming and fretting of such gentlemen as M. BAROCLIF, who have ever since May last been preaching up the doctrine of implicit obedience to the will of the majority, as testified by universal suffrage. Surely the will of the insj , .ority of the electors of Paris should be held as sacred as regards the representation, as the will of any other majority ? The National, in commenting on the denunciation of the Assembke Nationale, justly observes that those tradesmen who are thus held up to the hatred of a party might exercise terrible reprisals by publishing the names of those among their customers who have been intimidated into obedience to the orders of the secret tribunal of reactionaries, and have left them, the names of those who have contracted debts which they have not paid; and those workmen whom the rt. actionarie.i would fain starve into obedience, might also pint out to public notice those men who, enjoying large incomes, never give to the poor either assistance or altos ; and those who expend a magnificent fortune on their mistresses and their dogs , without thinking of the P atattiarygaßteisll has been ."

Tne supplementary report on the propcmithar ( -_-411fr.:£11 BABAGUAY D'lltrzar:ris for c:: n+ the pro :ISLAS oi the decree of July 19, 1848, relative to the fr sic admission into the military schools, has been pro se nted to the Assembly. Toe Committee orL:inally et,,,rged to exandne this measure had presented a faiio,.rable report on ir, arid, after a discussion, the .A.ssenfoly decided that the Bill, as amended by the C ommhtee, should pass to a second rei4ding. tl .at fano several amendments have been pre,ented; ccianeoted more or less directly with the sulject of free admission, and even raising new questions. The examination of these questions has given rise ta long and serious discussions, and the organization of the discipline and studies of the schools have been thoroughly examined. The Com mittee was of opinion that, as it had been called on to point out the defects in that organization, it ought to point out to the Assembly the means of corncting them, and it has drawn out several propositions on the subject, among which are the following :—° A mixed commission, named by the Ministers of 'War, Marine, and Public Works, shall be charged to re verse the organization of the schools as well as the programme of the studies; it shall propose such mo difications as it shall think necessary bi.fore the Ist Decemb?r, 1850, in order to put those modifications in harmony with the wants of the public service.." By another clause, the Pol3technic School is proposed to be transferred to the buildings of the National Palace at Meudon. The newly-elected Members for Paris took their seats in the Assembly on Saturday—Messrs. VOGUE, DUPONT, DB BUSSAC, HENNEQUIS, and others, elected by the departments, were likewise present. Some disturbance took place on Tuesday last at Aix, in consequence of a certtin number of conscripts presenting themselves before the post of the prison in a hostile manner. The sergeant called out his men and quickly dispersed them. The next day when the MAYOR proceeded to the Hotel• de-Ville to draw the numbers, he found the building in a manner beseiged by a band of individuals bearing a flag and crying " Vive Barbis! viveProurlhon!" The authorities in terfered and the flag was seized, and some of the men arrested. At Carpentras the drawing for the con scripton was also the occasion cf some disturbances, and two b:others named COURTAT, were beaten severely by the Reds. A complaint was lodged, and an investigation is to be instituted. Seventeen Arabs have just quitted the Chateau of Aminise, to return to Africa. They proceeded to Marseilles, and from thence to Oran. Amongst these Arabs is an oil mar, 100 years of age, the uncle of ABD-EL-KIDER. One of them has become so initiated in French manners and customs as to be a very accom plished dancer of the Polk, • _ - Dow.iger Countess DE MoNTALIvET, formerly Lady of Honour to the Empresses JOSEPHIN E and MARIA. Louisa, has just died at her estate at Tauve. nay, near Sancerre. We read in the Constilittionnel :—" The French fleet, the last accounts from which are dated from Malta, is expected at Toulon in a fortnight or three weeks.

The Prince and Princess of Juinville, who had left Lisbon in the Portuguese war steamer Mindello, had arr:vfd at Cadiz, and had not completed their thrEe days' quarantine when the Jupiter touched at thatp,rt.

THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY NIGHT. Within the last twenty-four hours we have had two packet ship-, which bring us later intelligence from several quarters cf the United States. The first was the Pl 3 mouth Rock, from Boston, and the other the Ivanhoe, from New York. Our accounts by the former tire to the 20th, and by the latter to the 21st ult., both inclusive. At Washington, matters remained in much the same state as last reported, the slavery question being the great tupic of discussion bath in and out of Gin gress. According to accounts from New York, we find that there was to be a great aggregate meeting of men of all parties, on the 25th ult., in favour of the compromise resolutions introduced into the United States Congress by the Hon. Henry Clay. The re quisition calling the meeting had been signed by nearly 3,000 persons of considerable standing in New York. The Journal of Commerce, of the 21st, says that the Whig general committee are to co operate in the movement. Goneral Taylor was to leave Washington on the 21st, on his promised vikit to Richmond, to be pre sent at the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the Washington monument. I . p to ►h.• evening of the 21st the subscriptions in aid of the Hague -street suffertrs had amounted to 20,800 dollt4. The most anxious sympathy was felt for these unfortunate creatures. Later intelligence from Chagres and Panama had reached New York via New Orleans. The intelli gence through this source informs us that there had been an attempt to get up an insur rec ti on a t Ci u d a d Victoria and Tumaulirus. The Governor of the pro vince had been attacked by a force of twenty men, and after a skirmish, in which several were killed and wounded, his Excellency was made a prisoner. Don Z. de Fortuna had issued a proclamation announcing the deposition of the Governor, and convoking the Legislature for a trial. The Legislatures of Tenessee and Alabama had adjurned, the former on the 11th and the latter on the 13th ult. Mr. Carter, a member of Congress from Ohio, has been much censured for not paying proper attention and deference to the United States Supreme Court. The friends (f the late Rev. Dr. Dick, in Phila delphia, have open‘d a subscription for the relief of his surviving relatives. In commercial intelligence we have no change to report. The sales of cotton on the 20th Ftbruary were 3,800 baler, at very full prices, principally for speculation. Flour was rather firmer than when the steamer had sailed. Prices were ranging 5 dolls, to 5 dolls. 12c., for common stale, with but very little to be had at the former quotation. Corn (Indian) was very steady, with a fair business doi, g, principally for shipping. Pork was quiet, and nominally quoted at 10 dolls. 50c. for mess, and 9 dolle. for prime. Ashes wore better, with sales of pots, at 6 dolls. 63c. to 6 dolls. 75c.; and pearls steady at 6 dolls. Freights were firm—to Liverpool, corn, 6d. ; flour, 2s. ; heavy goods, 25i. ; beef, 24.

Sir,—On Wednesday the 13th, the Public Libraries and Museums Bill was read a second time by the small majority of 118 against . lol. There appeared a considerable inclination in the opponents to harp upon small difficulties; which may perhaps be con strued into a disinclination to enter into contest on the real grounds. A shrinking of this nature is by itself a proof of the progress of the public feeling. On 'Thursday a Bill to amend the Factory Act was brought in without a division. A. good deal ef in clination was shown in some quarters to connect the subject with threats, and other unpleasantnesses to the manufacturing interest. The case is tolerably safe as it stands. The working classes are neither to be led into a movement for restricting motive power, nor to be persuaded that all the improvement in their con dition has arisen from working ten hours. The manu lecturing interest as it is styled, has no union against the ohject of thu Bill ; and therefore it is no wonder that the Bill should go on. On Friday was produced, the mystery, the budget. The expectations of those who hoped for r,ductions of taxatn,n in infinite variety, must submit to the pruning-ltnile. A removal of the duty on bricks, and some alterations or equaliz Aliens in the stamp duties, appear to comprise all that can be quoted in the way of direct remission. A portion of the sur plus is to go towards the reduction of the debt; which promises remission hereafter. But the greater part of the surplus—indeed some say they do not know where any surplus is to come front after it—is to go into that gulf which yawns open night and day, the possession of the landlords. Some see in it a sop to the Cerberus, and view the refusal of the G- >vent ment to re-enact any tex on core, as a kind of quid pro quo. The money, it appears, is to be lent to them, on condition of paying six and a half per cent. in'c rest, which in two- rnd-twenty years (if what I hear is correct), is to ha both interest and capital. It is understood, there is something like a real power, of taking possession of the land in case of irregula rity in discharging the arrears. The business of the Opposition, fir the rest of the evening, appeared to be to dernorstrate and impress the little gratitude they felt. The true interpreta tion of which is, that they will at all times take any thing they can, without admitting any bar from pre sent concessions. Such indeed is the common end of concessions of the kind in question. I am, Sir, your obedient servant-, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 18th March, 1850. M ON.V. an<a CO MMERCIAL E 11 1 S. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were es timated at 5,000 ha!es, of vrlreh 1,000 Amer lean, er.d 500 Perram aryl Niaranham were tdren for export. The mr.r lut was quiet - , lut reteady. The Falas comprised 3,500 American, S(0 PQrnarn en I Maranham, at 61.1. to 7d., 100 Bahia at 60. to 6i 1., 200 Egyptian at 7d. to 7id., and :300 Surat at 4d. to 4id. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair huaness was done, but the general tendency of the market is downwards. The Grain Market has been steady this morning, at fully previous rates. This Foreign accounts are all in come respects better than those to hand last week, and it is acknowledged that the view taken of the French elections has in many respects been greatly exaggerated. The Medera•es have gained several votes, and the Soc 7 a,lists have but a limited numb , r of their body in the Legislature, while some of the Leal) -elected, alf h oug h looked upon as Re l Republicans, aro in reality men of sound though un doubtedly very liberal views. The Grerk affair is expected to be settled within a very short time, and there is a hope also of the Danish negetiations being brought to a satisLctory issue. A good deal of conament is very fairly indulged in respectiag the proposed new Danish loan, and although the amount to be raised in the English market is not large, 300,000/, it is held to be exceedingly vexatious that we should be subjected to these incessant applica tions fur loins from the very states that are thwart ing our f ;reign policy. We lend 5,000,0001. to Russia, although she had been opposing the release of tt e Hun garian prisoners just before, and evinces her hostility now in connexion with the Greek business, and we pre sums that as a crowning effort we shall now advance the sum required by Denmark that she may protract the war which wo are so anxious to terminate. Truly all that Mr. Cobden alleged again3t our capitalists and stock-jobbers is understated, nor can it be denied that there is little cause for sympathy when they incur a loss. The policy of our Government, if year after year there is ti be such an addiion to foreign loans, will possibly have to become that of passive indifference, and we shall find aggrieved bondholders coming with a much worse grace to solicit interference and protection in the event of non-payment. This very day there is a meeting of Buenos Ayr es cre dit ors w h o have had ne divid e nd for years, and 3et by to-morrow 300,0001. is expected to be subscribed for a Danish loan at 90, and 20 per cenr. to to payable two days after the allot ment. The amount is a bagatelle certainly, but the principle is as objectionable as though millions were in volved. With Russian scrip down to 4d. premium, Danish may yet burn the fingers of some of the late bu 3 era. The t,>rms of the loan are as follows: " DANISH LOAN FOR 800,000/. STOCK, BEARING FIVE _ . PER CENT. INTEREST. " Messrs. C. J. liambro and Son beg to announce that, in conformity with the authority given by the Da nish Diet on the 9th of March, e 1859, they have con- V - aetcd with the Danish Mini6tr of Finance for a loan of 800,0001. sterling, bearing interest at five per cent. per annum. " The loan is to be on the same footing in every respect as that contracted for in the year 1849. The subscription price is 901. per cent., payable a; follows:-- " 201. per cent. two days after allotment. "2 1. „ on the 15th of April. " 104 „ „ 15th of May " 10/. „ „ 15. h of June.

But even Mr. Coleman, the official accountant employed to unravel the matter, is unable at preterit, owing to the voluminous nature of the documents to be gone through, to arrive at any positive conclusion. The English Stock Market has been fluctuating again, and has not recovered the decline which occurred on Saturday, in comet - pm:ice chiefly of the Danish Loan, t mew, the first pa) leant on which some parties have sold Console, and partly from the prof seed disappointment that the whole cf the surplus revenue is not employed in the redernivion of debt.

Certain cases are enumerated in which the refugees in question may still obtain the permission of returning to the Lotnbar-h.-Venetian states without underg.iing punishment. In the second proclamation, it is an nounced that all persons belonging to the Venetian province, or its capital, who are now in foreign parts in consequence et' political events, or who left Venice in consequence of the capitulation of that city, n n y freely return within the following month of April. Officers in the Austrian service, who have borne arms against the EMPEROR, are excepted fromithis amnesty. Those who shall not have returned at the end of the period mentioned shall be considered in the light ef unauthorised emigrants and treated accordingly.

I lay claim to only an ordinary share of disposi tion to deal fairly with my fellow-men ; and whirs I find I am receiving in a ratio, through the changes that have been brought about by our legislators, three measures of real money (the necessaries of life) instead of two only, which, in common honasty, is my fair portion, I cannot but view with great dis trust the acts of men, similarly circumstanced to myself, who give to me and who take to themselves an over share of the good things at the expense of the hard-working but ill requited labourer.
