A NOVEL. •' The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see disalaval such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. Ile is a w riter of genius, inspired by a high steudard of morality and religion, ani by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage i 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 eloquer.t essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which &ha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he hai marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dis, aelis, Man nerses, and Sinfthes."—Observer. ' Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has pro.luced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above Is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play coaspicaons parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive gelling, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

A lamentable proof has juet been afforded of the truth of the old sating, " more haste, worse speed" —any :uch ill-judged precipitancy being peculiarly perilous in regard to navigation. By a singular coincidence the Superb steam-vessel has perished on same the sunken rocks lying midway between St. Melo and S. Heliers, called the Alinquiers, off which only a few days pre viously the steamer Polka had foundered—a mariner of the name of PRIAULX having acted as captain on both occasions. From the scanty particulars already furni,hed in reference to this melancholy catastrophe, it appears that eleven lives have been destroyed in con sequence of the most culpable negligence, the most re prehe.nsible temerity, and the most perverse blundering `on the part of those entrusted with the safety of the vessel and her passengers. Until more detailed ac counts have been famished by the survivors it would, of course, he invidious to condemn by name any particular individual. When it is considered, however, that the Superb, on leaving St. Malo to proceed across the intervening° portion of the channel to the islaed of Jersey, was purposely directed out of the ordinary line of navigation—whether to abbre viate the time occupied in the passage by a shorter cut than usual; or to enable the captain to gratify the curiosity of his passengers, by pointing out to them the exact locality of his recent misfortune, it would be difficult to conjecture—there cannot remain a doubt but that the steamer was most shame fully and unntcessarily placed in a position of obvious and extraordinary jeopardy. After running thus, as it were, prepense into the v-ry jaws of destruction, no wonder the Superb met with her last and fatal catastrophe. In fair weather, in broad noon-day, with scarcely a breath of air stirring, the Superb struck violently upon one of the crags of the Min quiers and begin filling immediately. Considering the suddenness of the calamity, it is by no means sur prising that thereupon a panic manifested itself amo ng the passengers. Orders being forthwith given by the captain to lower the two boats belonging to the steamer, another accident shortly afterwards added to the agonies already experienced. In consequence of a by no means unfrequent oversight, one of the boats, unprovided with the usual plug, on being hurriedly pushed off from the Superb with eight men and three women in It, slowly filled with water, and in the presence of those still remaining on the steamer gradually sunk, the sea all the while shining as smoothly as a mirror. Besides the eleven un fortunate creatures who were thus drowned in con sequence of a petty act of forgetfulness (the recur rence of which might be readily obviated in future by attaching the plug to each boat by a small piece of chain), two children were thrown overboard by the first shock of the vessel striking on the Minquiers. Otherwise the crew and passengers re mained uninjured by the calamity, the steamer being left upon the rocks by the falling tide, until by sig nals cf distress another steamer, called the Collier, at length came to their assistance. Oue deplorable incident occurring prior to the rescue of those whose lives were endangered by this misfortne, must not he allowed to pass altogether unnoticed. Our allusion is made to the circumstance of the commander of the Superb having attempted to save his own existence by deserting the ship under his charge in her most perilous predicament. For tunately for his repute as a sailor, be was induced, before it wee too late, to return on board his steamer, sad the re to await the arrival of the , It would be impossible to find a better or more un questionable security than would be afforded by the "national taxation money" suggested by Mr. DUN CAN, and to which we directed the public attention on Wednesday. The most cautious and fastidious capi talist, who is contented with a low rate of interest, provided he incurs the least possible risk of losing or diminishing the amount of his principal money, could scarcely demand an additional guarantee. Such a person will make no speculative invest ment. He eschews railways and shudders at any description of real security. Bank shares have no charms for him. Anything approaching to spe culation he avoids with a holy horror. Fares may be reduced, rents may fall, or titles prove defective ; a commercial crisis may set in, destructive to the inte rests of the shareholders in joint-stock undertakings, but the Three per Cents. never fail. They are safe at all times and all season's, and under all circumstances. Nothing but a revolution could affect their sta bility. With these he is perfectly satisfied, and invests all his property in the public funds. This confidence, which maintains the price of Consols at a high rate, is fully merited ; for they are based on all the property iu the country of every nature and kind whatsoever, real or personal. The broad acres of the landowner, the stock in trade of the merchent or tradesman, the goods and chattels of every individual throughout the length and breadth of the land, are responsible for the amount of the na tional debt, and the security is unquestioned and un questionable. But the very person who thus places his all in the public funds, and would think it an act of heresy, even for a moment, a to doubt their p er f ec t s t a bili ty, w ill c h atter, with ludicrous affectation of wisdom, of"' worthless rags," of the absurdity of supposing that the butcher or the baker would part with his property in exchange for inconvertible paper; and with profound solemnity utter all the pompous platitudes, the glaring fallacies of the bullionista. Can it be possible that his perceptions are so obtuse that he cannot perceive that the "national note" would be bated on the same security as the national debt, that it would possess every guarantee, while it would have some additional advantages not attached to the latter. Like the funds, it woul i be founded on all the property of the king dom. The five or six thousand of millions of pounds sterling at which that property has been estimated, would be ample security not only for the 800 000,0001. of debt, but also for the 50,000,000/. or 60,000,000/. of notes. The holder of the one should be satisfied as well as the holder of the other. It' the national faith is to be preserved intact and inviolate, each would be equally the public creditor, and would have a claim of equal degree v ith the other. Their demands would in some degree be analogous to those of the holders of notes and depositors in a bank of issue, who, in case of failure, would participate equally in the dividend. This view is the most favourable that can be taken to the fundholder ; it even goes too far in some re spects, for it assumes that he could claim the amount of his principal, which it is notorious that he cannot de. But it sustains our argument to the fullest ex tent, that the "national taxation money" would be at least as well and fully secured, and posses-es every guarantee belonging to the Consolidated Fund. Even the bullion itself—the gold and silver—in the country %mild be responsible, although in different degrees. It would be liable for the "interest" of the Consols, and for the "principal" of the national note. One advantage possessed by the naticnal note over Consols is so obvious that it must be palpable to the most superficial ob-erver. In case of any commer ciel crisis, or public emergency, by which the rate of interest may be increased, the price or value of Con suls will be materially depreciated. The per son who bought in at 96 or 97 may have to sell out at 88 or e 9. He may lose the entire interest he had received during two or three years, or even more ; but the bolder of the note runs no such risk. He is certain that it must be taken from him, at its full nominal value, not only in satisfaction of his liabilities to the Exchequer, but that he can liquidate every other claim, public or private, that could by any possibility be made upon him. This national note would possess two qualities that would be of the greatest importance in a circulating medium. Fiist, it could nut by any possibility be issued in excess. The amount would be strictly limited to the taxation that was to be collected from the people. There would, therefore, be a demand for every single note that was issued, which would require to be paid in within the year or a certain specified period ; and, secondly, the mischievous practice of hoarding, which so materially aggravates the pressure during a time of emergency, would in a great degree, if not altogether, be removed. There would be no temptation to secrete paper not possessing intrinsic value and bearing no interest. On the contrary, every holder would have a stake in the country, and would by every means in his power be in clinedc to support and maintain the public at the highest point, which would thus be sustained on the broad foundation which has proved so exceedingly beneficial in the Scottish system of banking. This species of note is no new or untried experi ment.ce.n We have it already in exist ence to a certai n extent. Yes, the postage stamps in daily use are no thing hut notes fur a penny or upwards, as the cage may be, payable in one species of taxation only, and by their means the Post-office revenu e is chic fly collected. The stamp is intrinsi- cally without value, but as it will bear a letter from one end of the kingdom to the other, it is freely accepted for any small payment; and, as - - Mr. DUNCAN pertinently i nqu i r e ? , " if we can raise 2,000,000/. a year fiscally, through these intrinsi- cally valueless stamps, why could we not raise 4,000,0001., and if four why not forty ?" The Learned Gentleman added—" It was clear that the priuciple of symbolic money was proved experimen- rally 'by these stamps, and this was nothing more than one of the forms or modes through which such money might be• used beneficially, without the intro- duction of bullionism." AN EscAra FOR THE Razz z.—General Baron Hansa was not ducked at C9lPglat..—Punclt. gallant captain of the Collier, to whose gene rous promptitude the survival of so many of our fellow -creatures humanly speaking, attributable. Previously, however, to the arrival of the Collier, then running between Jersey and Shoreham, a cutter, called , the Jupiter, had, after considerable exertions, taken all the survivors from the wreck, and was herself again ultimately relieved of her human cargo on the appearance of Captain DOKE on board the steamer Collier. By one of those startling reiterations of alarm which sometimes occur to our astoni4hment, the Collier, in her turn, on entering the harbour of St. Heliers, struck upon . the oyster rock, which, it will not be forgotten, was recently the scene of the destruction of her MAJESTY'S steamship Cuckoo. All things, in short, appeared to unite in demonstrat ing the necessity, the absolute and imperative neces sity, of employing every care and precaution in the midst of such a peculiarly treacherous and danger ous navigation. With sunken rocks sown abundantly in that portion ef the Channel—a portion so shallow at low water that the old legend of its having been at one time fordable is scarcely beyond the reach of credence—it must be manifest that any course like that adopted by the captain of the Superb is little short of being absolutely suicidal. It must be re membered that the scene of the late catas trophe, the Mirquiers, is a perilous spot, well known to all mariners accustomed to the Channel, and that consequently, in running his vessel directly upon those sunken rocks, a seama❑ is, with bis eyes open, dedicating his charge to inevi.able destruction. Such was the danger tempted in the instance of the Superb, and this merely for the chance of making the passage more speedily, or, mayhap, with a view to gratify an idle and morbid inquisitiveness. Notwithstanding that the science of navigation has been carried, therefore, to its present high state of perfection, it would appear that ships may be lost, that ships are actually lost, through the rashness of their commanders, through a shameful neglect of those precautions which common sense and experience alike demonstrate to be requisite. Until this most culpable temerity be obviated by the rigorous punishment of _ all similar offenders, we shall still be compelled at intervals to recount the recur rence of some such melancholy catastrophe. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. the complications of Hesse-Cassel by means of an ar bitration tribunal, consisting of three members of the Hessian Government and three members of the per manent commission of the States. The Government of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin hes issued orders to the magistrates to prohibit the dopu tit s assembling to deliberate in their quality of na tional representatives. It is said the magistrates have announced their intention of obeying these orders, and it is feared a serious collision will take place. The Municipal Council of Seh werin have adopted a resolution calling on the magistrates not to disturb the deputies in the exercise of their functions, but, on the contrary, to act in support of the Constitution. The Staats Anzeiger, of the 23d inst., publishes two documents, which on the 18th inst. were communi cated to the Provisional Council of Princes, at Berlin. The following is a translation of these docu ments : MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO-O'CLOCK. The sales or Cotton at Liverpool ys sterday were esti mated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed tamely without alteration in prices. —The Share Market was firm. There have been activ' , markets for produce this week, and fuller prices have been obtained for Sugar and Coffee, the latter article being in speculative demand, and the other still warted fur export. Tea is held more firmly. Indigo and Cochineal have been rather heavier, but Cotton arid Wool have been taken freely. Tt e home concurnrion of most articles continues large, and the shipments are satisfactory. We have been favoured with a communication from Mr. J. J. Morewood, of Winchester-buildings, which will be highly interesting to partit s who have friends on the way to Natal. There were 600 landed safely early in July, viz,, 118 per Conquering Hero, 187 per Hen rietta, and 287 per Minerva, although the latter vessel was lost, as the subjoined letter will explain:— " D'Urban, Port Natal, July 6, 1850. "I now have the painful task to inform you of the loss of the Minerva since she arrived here, and after her mail and part:of her passengers were landed. On July 4th the wind blew gently from the S.E. until about the middle of the day, when it freshened, and continued to increase until five or six in the evening, when it blew very hard, and the Minerva was labouring very much. The cap tain had landed from seventy to ninety passengers when he discontinued, and sent the boat ashore with only half the quantity she could carry, deeming it unsafe to be alongside any longer. About eight to nine o'clock the wind moderated, but freshened again, although not so strong as it had been previously. Some time early in the morning of July sth the Miner eaparted from her anchor and drifted ashore just by the reef of rocks that abut from the point of the bluff. You may imagine the con sternation of the remaining portion of the emigrants on board—by far the greatest portion. The yells and shrieks of the women and children were truly heart rending, and it wcs long before they could be pacified by pointing out to them that if they would.be quiet and have some sort of order restored, they would be safely landed. lam happy to say that every assistance was rendered by the inhabitants, by the crews of the other ships in the bay, and by the coasters in the harbour, so that all the remaining passengers were landed; but not without great difficulty did they accomplish this. There was not, however, a single passenger's life lost, although several boats were upset, and all were immersed, and many were the hard blows and bruises before the inhabitants, who vied with each other in rendering the most strenuous assistance, could drag the passengers to the shore. Mr. John Newton, in venturing too far in the surf was knocked down, and when dragged out by his fellow -townsmen was insensible for two hours after wards. Several boats have been rendered unfit for fur ther use; and I am sorry to say that the boat belonging to the Henrietta, in trying to reach the Minerva through the surf, was upset, and one man was drowned, the others being washed ashore dreadfully mutilated and distressed. I did not hear the name of the man that was lost. The escape of all the emigrants has been most providential, but they have lost every vestige of what they brought with them. " There are contradictory accounts respecting the Minerva's parting with her anchors. Some of the pas sengers say she snapped her cable, others that she slipped it. It is also said that she had only seventy-five fathom out in twelve fathom water. It is very certain that the Aliwal and King William experienced much heavier gales when lying in the Bay without a particle of damage being done to etcher, they having out 100 to 120 fathom of chain. The Conquering Hero and the Henrietta re main without any injury at the outside anchorage. "EDWARD OREWOOD." The Hembur g h ma il of Tuesday advises us of conti nued steadiness in the rate of exchange on London, the quotation being 13 7/. Bills were in more request. Coffee had been in brink demand, speculators having bought as well as consumers. Grain was inactive. The Leipzic fair will not commence this year until the 6th October; in the interim there had been a few sales made of English manufactures. St. Petersburgh letters of the 18th inst. describe the Corn market as being dull. Tallow was firmer, and in Linseed the transactions were limited. At Amsterdam, on the 25th inst., Dutch Stock was rather firmer. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 57 1-16. Spanish Bonds were rather more feeble. Accounts from Vienna inform us that the Austrian Government had decreed the formation of a finance de partment for Hungary and Woiwodie, being, as is con sidered, the first step towards the introduction of indi rect taxation into those countries. The English Funds have been very quiet, and prices exhibit some want of buoyancy. Consols have realised 961 for Transfer and Account. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 635. to 665,, and India, Bonds 83s, premium. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It is a curious fact, that the official Moniteur is the first of the journals which has violated the new press law, requiring journalists to attach their signatures to the articles they write ; and that too while warning other journals against committing an infraction of the law. We find on this matter the following pithy remarks from the pen of M. LECPOLD DURAS in the National : "The Itioniteur in this note, which is intended pre cisely to point out to th e j ourna l s some of the dangers to which certain forms of signature expose them, is the first to violate the text and spirit of the law of which it gives us the interpretation. The not; in fact, is not signed. The word 'communique' cannot supply the name of the author as required by Art. 3. It is, therefore, the Mo niteur itse:f which violates the law at the moment when it is recommending its execution; it is taken in fiagrante delicto of contravention. We require no other proof of the insurmountable difficulties which attend the applica tion of the law of July 23." The most important of the revelations yet made, in consequence of this signing system, is that M. DE CORMENIN, the far-famed Timon, is a contri butor to a provincial journal. The Journal du Loiret publishes an article signed by that gentleman, in which he strongly urges all the friends of order and society to remain firm to the existing Constitution, and to permit no alteration in it, inasmuch as it is impossible to substitute for it any arrangement which would not have more enemies than the present. The Journal des Debats has at length published a political article, it is signed Louis ALLOURY, and is on the subject of the recomtnendations of the Councils- Ge neral of Departments. It is a very lengthy affair, extending over nearly four columns; M. Louis AL LOURY, however, is not nearly so long-winded as M. BOILAY, who signs himself Redactur en chef of the Constitutionnel, and who spreads a dull and wearisome article over five mortal columns. The Journal des !Mats publishes , the circular of General ST. PRIEST, which we gave yesterday, and prefaces it by the following observations : "One of the persons named in the Wiesbaden cir cular, General de St. Priest, has addressed a letter to the Union, which we copy. It the language of the circular was unlortunately too clea, tha , , of M. de St. Priest is not clear enough. It is assuredly very far from consti tuting a disavowal, while it does not amount to an ap probation. M. de St. Priest wishes to avoid irritating matter. It is an example which we mean to follow. We have not courted disputation: we have simply con fined ourselves to an expression of the painful and dig-, couraging sentiment with which we were inspired by an act which others have not hesitated to designate as de plorable, disastrous, and insensate." The National has the following on the disavowal of the supposed Presidential manifesto by the journals of the Elysee : "An article has appeared in the journals, intituled Ce que veut le President,' and it positively states that the President wishes for an immediate revision, that is to say, a violation of the Constitution. The Constitu tionnel says that it is authorised to declare that the cor respondence from whence the article in question ema nated receives no official communication. We must be allowed to mistrust a little this authorisation of which this Constitutionnel boasts. It is scarcely two months since M. Baroche had our journal se'r , ci for having put faith in the authenticity of the confidential articles of the Constitutionnel ; but, admitting what it says, it is un derstood that the Bulletin de Paris has no official cha racter, it has founded its article on information, on ideas, and on reasonings which are its own. The intentions which are attributed to the President of the Republic are nothing but a calumny. M. Bonsparte has sworn to respect the Constitution, and he must be very indignant at the projects attributed to him by men who call them selves his friends. It suits him not to contradict them; he thinks it useless to declare that the article ' Ce que veut le President' is false in every point ; he considers that silence is the best reply to such inventions. The President is the best judge of what his honour requires; we have nothing to say to what concerns him personally, but unfortunately the article has made some coise. There are people who are always ready to make use of a calumny with a view to agitation ; there are people who do not understand that the first magistrate of the Republic resigns himself loyalty to descend at the fixed day from kis elevated position; the article has been hawked about and commented on ; uneasiness has been caused, mistrust has been raised, and the public mind alarmed. What I the Prefect of Police every day sends to the journals long rectifications on very secondary facts which scarcely occupy public attention, and when the President is calumniated, when the quiet of the whole country is disturbed his pen remains inactive!" We have to record another name among those of the writers in the National, that of M. ALEXANDRE REY, who, in an article on the Wiesbaden circular, demands of the Legitirnatists —" Do you approve of all the principles laid down in that circular ? Aye or no ?" " The undersigned, the Ambassador of bis Imperial and Royal Majesty of Austria, &c., has the honour to transmit to the Count of Brandenburg, President of the Cabinet of his Majesty the King of Prussia, a copy of the protocol which was taken on the 2d inst., on the oc casion of the re-opening of the Federal Diet.

It had fallen over a precipice between Oropeaa and Benicasin, and with the ten passengers, the two civil guards, the mayoral, postillion, and zagal, and six horses, was precipitated from an immense height, the passengers no doubt perishing in their &scent, and the vehicle being completely knocked to pieces among the. rocks. The bodies of the victims were carried out to sea by the mountain torrent which dashed down tbe cavity into which they fell ; but six of them were washed back again, and thrown on the coast ; and the bodies of five of the horses, with a fragment of the coach, and the mail bags, were washed on shore on the 16th, at the Grao, or port of Castellan de la Plana. D. P. V. Arguelles, Governor of Castillon, had ordered a solemn funeral service to be performed on the 17th, in the principal church of that place, for the victims of this catastrophe, into the cause of which judicial inquiries had commenced. Brigadier General ARIZCAO had been appointed Director-General of Cavalry in place of Don Joss DE LE CONCHA, named Governor-General of Cuba.

The Hessian Government has founded an official Gazette which will be p u bli s h ed at Frankfurt. , The Austrian -ruled Diet of Frankfort declared on the 24th that the refusal to vote the taxes in Hesse- Cassel is contrary to the federal pact, and has ac cordingly. summoned the Government to enforce their collection, and to overcome any resistance that may be opposed to it by all 'constitutional methods. In case it is unsuccessful, then the Governments cf Hanover and Wirtemberg (or, according to other ac counts, Hanover, Bavaria, and Schaunburg Lippe), are charged to enter Hesse with 10,000 men in aid of the ELECTOR, and to enforce the state of siege accord. ing to the ordinance of the 7th Septe m b er .

ITAL Y. The Conservators of Florence quotes letters from Rome of the 19th, announcing the arrival there of Father LACORDAIRE. The object of this visit is said to be the vindication of the monitory of the Arch bishop of PARIS against the Univers. Cardinal CERRA CASSANO died at Rome on the 15th. He was created a Cardinal in 1831. Letters from Siena of the 18th give an account of the inauguration of that section of the Siena Railway. The Queen and Prince Albert have become annual subscribers of 25/. to the Royal Patriotic Society, an institu tion for improving the condition of the labouring classes in Scotland. The Earl of Lincoln and Lords Z homas and Robert Clinton, arrived at Clumber-park on Monday last, on a visit to the Duke of Newcastle, who, we regret to learn, is very seriously indisposed. Mankind, in general, mistake difficulties for impos sibilities. That is the difference between those who effect and those who do not.— Eliza Cook's Journal. CAILD LEFT.—GREENIVICII RAILWAY.— On a lady and gentleman getting into a first-class carriage yesterday evening, to proceed to London by the half-past nine o'clock train, they were astonished to find a fine child lying on the seat, evidently about four or five weeks old, and very:ele gantly dressed. Information was iminc.diately given to the inspector, and an inquiry made, but the party was nut to be found. The child was removed to the workhouse. THE SEVERN. —There was last week only two feet six inches of water in the Severn at Tewkesbury Mythe Bridge, being three inches less than it has been at any pre vious time during the summer; and so low is the water at Tewkesbury quay that it is impossible to get loa led trows through the lock into the river Avon. THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The works, sus pended during the sittings of Parliament, are now resumed, and are actively progressing. In the House of Lords the artists are engaged on the historical paintings remaining-in complete. In the new chamber of the Commons the altera ti,ns and acoustic improvements found necessary at the trial sittings, are being effected. St. Stephen's Porch, the approach to the new House of Commons, is quite finished ; it will be reached by a noble flight of steps, the entire breadth of which extends fifty feet into the body of Westminster Hall. Yesterday the restoration of the splendid roof and interior of Westminster Hall was commenced. A new entrance has been opened from the centre of the hall into the cloisters. The basses and statues in the interior of the Royal En trance, Victoria Tower, are complete, and it is expected that on the next occasion of her Majesty opening Parliament in person this entrance will be made use of. P russ i a n, Bavari an , and Saxon Governments have THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN GERMANY.--TheAustrian, just entered into a convention with regard to the electric telegraphs, by which a common tariff has been adopted, re ducing the expense by about one-half.

There is a kind of sympathy in souls that fits them for each other, and we may be assured, when we see two persons engaged in the warmth of a mutual affection, that there are certain qualities in both th e i r m i n d s which bear a resemblance to one another.—Eliza cook's Journal. EVENING CLASSES FOR YOUNG MEN.--A public meeting was held last evening in the school-room of St. James the Great, Bethnal-green, to promote the formation of evening classes for young men, on the plan on which they have been conducted, through the instrumentality of the clergy of the metropolis, during the two last seasons. This endeavour to give a new development to the Church's teach ing, in a direction hitherto little attempted, has been sanc tioned by the highest ecclesiastical authority, and has been actively supported by a number of distinguished clergymen and laymen. Like most other movements which have been productive of great results, it originated in the efforts of an individual (the Rev. Charles Mackenzie, ALA , Vicar of St. Bennett's, Gracechurch-street), and has now enlisted the generous aid of about fifty of the metropolitan clergy. It is honoured with the patronage of his R.syal Highness Prince Albert, the Lord Bishop of London is the president, and the list of vice-presidents embraces some of the most distin guished members of both Houses of Parliament. The meet ing was very numerously attended. The Rev. W. James, the Incumbent of St. James's, presided. Many excellent speeches were made, and at the close a number of young men enrolled themselves members of the classes. SOUTH SEA COMPANY.—A meeting of this com pany was held yesterday, at South Sea House, Threadneedle street, City, Mr. Charles Franks in the chair. The chairman stated that the meeting had been called for the purpose of appointing a committee of seven gentlemen to inspect the bye-laws of this company. From a statement of accounts it appeared that the bond debt due by this company amounted to 4,50 K 1. The following gentlemen were appointed to act as a committee :—Mr. William Gausen, Mr. Edward Gold amid, Mr. Benjamin Harrison, Sir Claudius Stephen Hunter, Bart., Mr. Thomas Ponton, Mr. Thomas Poynder, and Mr. Claude George Thornton. After a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting separated. On Monday afternoon, at Glasgow, Mr. Hampden made his 89th balloon ascent. A safe descent was effected. AEROSTIC EXPERIMENTS.--FOT some time past, great many balloons have been observed passing over Paris. Among them have been a great many small ones, sent up by M. Mene, of Vaugiard (whose scientific experiments have excited much attention), to make experiments for measuring the laws in virtue of which the temperature decreases in proportion to the height. Several of these balloons have gone great distances; one went in an hour and a halt. 22 leagues, and fell at Villeneuve la Lionne, department of the Seine-et• Marne, and others were found at distances of 40 and 48 leagues. M. Nene begs the persons who may find the balloons, to send them with the instruments they con tain, to the addresses indicated. M. Meue is making his experiments with the assistance and advice of M. Arago.— Galignani. SHIPWRECK OF THE BRIG Bnavo.—ln addition to the five guineas voted by the subscribers to Lloyd's, at their half-yearly meeting held on Wednesday, to the two boats' crews who had succeeded, after great difficulty in saving the crew of '.he brig Bravo, of Njwcastle, when that vessel was wrecked on the 31st of March last, we also learn that the committee of the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Lives from Shipwreck had previously voted 11/. to the 11 brave fellows who went off, at such imminent peril, to the rescue of the crew of the above vessel. CROPS IN DURHAM.—Some wheat was shown in Durham market on Saturday last which weighed 9st. 21bs. net, and was a most beautiful sample, fit for the hands of the miller. On the other hand the continued drought has ope rated injuriously on the turnip crops. Swedes, however, are after all the great source of winter provision for cattle; and should we shortly dency now felt b y farmers as to the deficiency of winter have a few genial showers, the despon provender will be removed.

A fair average quantity of English Wheat -2,81 i: quarters have a rri ve d f or our market this week, el a s d wise. The supply fresh up today by land carriage, en samples, was compstratively small. The t attendance,! i both town a n d country buyers being on the increase, ruse demand for most ki nds of Wheat of home Pr°l e ruled steady, a t M onday ' s quotations. Nearly 13' to quarters of f ore i gn Wh c at have come to hand. A moderate 1 , business aas transacted i n selected q t - o ualities, at r— of currency. I n t h e m i ddling and inferior kinds next d nothing was doing. Not less than 11,370 sack s 11 barrels of forei gn Fl our have reached us.
