Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Bvo., A NOVEL. 0 0 -" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, is which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha raeterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dtsraelis, Man nerves, and Smythes.”—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 produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Poet.

" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercyjto any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acquaintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

There is an inherent love in every true English heart for what is termed "fair play." Prejudices may for a time prevail any departure from the beaten track, any novel project, however promising, may excite suspicion, and lead to a strict investiga tion—a searching scrutiny into the characters and motives of the parties concerned. This is perfectly justifiable, and will be readily conceded by the pro moters of every legitimate and kong fide undertaking. They must be willing to render full explanations, to meet any charges that may be preferred ; and if un able to do so, must submit to the inevitable conse quences. But, in return, they have an unquestionable right to be heard in their own defence, to be allowed to bring forward their proofs, to repel any and every accusation. Audi alteram partem, is a golden rule that has ever been recognised and respected in this happy land. The most atrocious miscreant that ever disgraced humanity is permitted the privilege of meeting his accusers face to face, of hearing their evidence, of obtaining answers to such interrogatories as may be calculated to throw light upon the subject, and to rely upon the legal presumption in favour of innocence until his guilt be clearly, distinctly, and unequivocally established. It is also understood that the same publicity should be afforded to the answer that had previously been given to the charge— nothing can be more unjust or, according to our English phraseology, " unfair," than to give cur rency and extensive circulation to a grave accusation, and to refuse an equal publicity to the vindication. The latter, if it can be given, should always be put forward through the same medium as the former, that none might hear of the one who would not also have the other brought under their notice. This may not always be practicable, but so far as it can be done, it is the right of the party or parties on trial. A public journal may, in this respect, be assimilated to the spear of TEI.131'111:15, which can alone heal the wound it had inflicted, which can alone provide the antidotes for the poison administered, and no duty can be more imperative than that which attaches to the managers and editors of newspapers of giving insertion to the answers of those who may be attacked in their columns. According to the " code of honour," a blow levelled all distinctions, and any person, how ever exalted his rank or station in society, who so far forgot himself as to be guilty of personal violence was bound to render full and complete satisfaction to his opponent. In like manner, any member of the " fourth estate " is bound to provide space for any person assailed to repel the charges contained in former numbers of his publication. This just retribution is, however, not always freely rendered ; public opinion is sometimes set at defiance. The insinuations of anonymous correspondents may be received and published, while the indignant refuta tion of the unwarranted calumnies by the injured parties are totally suppressed. Such conduct is not at all becoming, and the more unworthy in proportion to the rank and position of the aggressors. " The whispered hint—the shrug, the hum or ha, These petty brands that calumny doth use"— are at all times detestable, but more especially so when all redress is denied to the sufferers ; and we deeply regret that a sense of justice compels us to direct attention to a very gross instance of such a depar ture from the ordinary rules by which the Press should be governed. On the 23d of October last, a furious and utterly unwarranted attack appeared in the Times against the directors and managers of the Anglo- Californian Gold Mining Company. Sundry weighty charges were preferred, but others of even a graver character were more than hinted. The directors acted in the manner that might have been expected from men of honour. A full and complete answer was prepared and forwarded to the office of that journal —an answer in which these unwarranted im putations were not only fully explained and rebutted, but the true position of the company clearly set forth. Criticism was not deprecated, because the directors, conscious of the purity and integrity of their motives, and of the legitimate nature of their speculations, in vited the strictest scrutiny, convinced that the light of truth would ultimately disperse and dissipate the mists of prejudice. The Times, however, refused to insert this ample and satisfactory explanation, acting on a principle, " more honoured in the breach than in the observance," which the "Leviathan," in the pleni tudefluenced by a s ense o f j ust i ce to the parties interested, of hi s p ower , occas i onally ventures to adopt. in whose reputations we know to be above reproach, we thTeheSui Chairmanof the of f thelst November Company, last, s ir th e h letter m published, fr o in VENDISLI STUART RUAIDOLD E t , Bart. , which had been rejected by our morning contemporary. Sir HENRY V ER E HUNTLEY, an English officer and an Englis h gentleman, who was then absent in another hemi sphere, on the business of the company, was a neces sary witness. It was stated that his speedy return to England was anticipated. He was in poosession of .loLianalts h t .:0111d show !he total of the aggressor, the falsehood of the accusations that had been heaped on the devoted heads of the direc tors, and until the period of his return arrived, and in the interim, they relied on the facts, that they had sent out a body of experienced Cornish miners— nearly thirty in number—provided with all neces sary tools and implements fo: the pursuit on which they were entering,—On tie report of the local correspondent of the Times. itself, which con tained this passage—" I am bound in justice to all parties to add that iron all I can see and learn the company (the Anglo. Californian) has performed all its engagements to the Cornish miners with fide lity. Money is placed here, and bills of lading for a further supply have arrived, coming forward to pro vide for their wants and pay for their passage into the interior ;" and also on the fact, the truth:of which could easily be ascertained, that there was an absence of all debts or claims upon the company by tradesmen or others in this country—that, in fact, they paid their way honestly and honourably in both hemispheres. Under such circumstances they naturally demanded why a leading and influential organ of public opinion, which had the means of knowing that the provisional directors had acted bonti fide in every matter that could be inquired into, should charge or insinuate that they had acted males fide in other cases with respect to which it had no better evidence than the statement of a writer in its columns. This vindication was, however, as we have already stated, suppressed by the Tinits, and would have been altogether withheld had we not given it pub. licity. Well, Sir HENRY VERE HUNTLEY has at length arrived in England, having justly merited the thanks of the company for his arduous, zealous, and efficient exertions. He has appeared at various meetings of shareholders, and his explanations and reports have been of the most satisfactory description, carrying conviction to every honest and unprejudiced mind. We refer our friends and the public generally to the report of a meeting of shareholders recently held at the Corn-Exchange, Lincoln, and also to the resolu tion unanimously adopted at a meeting held at Pen ritb, at which the shareholders present expressed " their entire confidence in the manager and directors, and in the ultimate success of the undertaking," both of which will be found in other parts of this day's im pression. Will the Times now, we ask, make tardy repara tion for the serious injury which it inflicted, or rather endeavoured to inflict, on upright and respect able men ? Will it in common justice to those calumniated persons render, the amende honorable even at the eleventh hour ? We fear not. The company are, however, fortunately in a position to defy the calumnious aspersions of interested City jobbers, who, jealous of the extraordinary progress already achieved, and of the prosperity of any under taking in which they are not permitted to appropriate " the lion's share" of the profits, may dare to repeat their infamous falsehoods and that even although the Times should again prostitute its columns by promoting the objects of these people, and again refuse to give insertion to the defence and vindication of the aggrieved parties, fully satisfied that truth must ultimately prevail. Recently we took occasion to celebrate a circum stance which we could not but regard as propitious to a cause we hold much at heart—the cause of a well-regulated system of colonial emigration. Our allusion, we need scarcely say, is to the reception given a few days since to the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia by the municipal authorities of the an cient city of Southampton. On that occasion the remarks elicited from the Hon. Josaru HowE in reference to the very important schemes he is known to advocate, and with a view to the carrying out of which, he has arrived amongst us on a mission to her MAJESTY'S Government were of a nature calculated to arrest no small degree of attention—illustrating, as they did, the ad vantages accruing from the development of the sources of wealth still lying dormant in our North American possessions. The value of these observations it was impossible not to recognize, even from the brief report furnished in one or two of the local newspapers. Since then we are glad to see that the speech of the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia has been transcribed, we presume from stenographic notes, and published in the form of a substantial pam phlet.* Having consequently before us the complete harangue almost as it fell from the lips of the orator, we turn to it again at our earliest opportunity, with feelings of genuine satisfaction. Were nothing further to result from the visit of Mr. HOWE Co England, than the delivery of this speech, his mission could not by any possibility be regarded as fruitless of happy consequences both to the mother country and her Transatlantic dependencies. For we conceive the arguments embodied in it altogether too cogent and persuasive to pass without being productive of good to the community. Hearing from the mouth of one empowered by his knowledge an d his experiences to pronounce upon the capabi lities of the British territories in the northern continent of America, bearing from his mouth such explicit declarations of the wealth that might be de rived from the labour required towards their proper cultivation, the people of England cannot remain deaf to the entreaties of nature and of reason—en treaties all tending towards the work of a systema tised Transatlantic emigration. Those who may recoil from a scheme for the colo nization of the Canadas and the contiguous provinces, through an erroneous preference for the more genial atmosphere of the southern parts of the American continent, would do well to weigh the force of the following sentences, articulated on the 14th ult. by Mr. Howz, when addressing the intelligent inhabi tants of Southampton : "It is often said the climate of North America is rigorous and severe. Do me the f avour t o g l ance at t h e eastern hemisphere, including Europe, Asia, and Africa, and separating the northern countries from the south, the vigorous parallels from the warm and ener va ti ng , tell me in which reside at this moment, the domestic virtues, the pith of mankind, the seats of commerce, the centres of intelligence, the arts of peace, the discipline of war, the political power and dominion ? Assuredly in the northern half. And yet it was not always so. The southern and eastern portions, blessed with fertility, and containing the cradle of our race, filled up first, and ruled for a time the territories at the north. But as civilization and population advanced northwards, the bracing climate did its work, as it will ever do; and in physical endurance, and intell e ct ua l energ y, th e nort h asserted the superiority, which, to this hour, it main tains." Therefore the Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia implies that the bleaker climates of the western, as well as of the eastern hemisphere, should receive the preference, as being calculated better to advance the interests of enterprise and through them the general cause of civilization. Be sides, we hear him say a moment or so afterwards, " the climate of North America, though colder than that of England, is dryer when it is cold. I rarely wear an overcoat, except when it rains ; an old Chief Justice died recently in Nova Scotia at 103 years o age, who never wore one in his life. Sick regiments invalided to our garrison, recover their health and vigour immediately; and yellow fever patients com ing home from the West Indies walk about in a few days. Look at the countenances and robust appear ance of the inhabitants, and you will see the vigour and energy that the climate of North America im parts." Notwithstanding these very numerous advantages the emigration has all set in from Europe to Ame rica upon the southern parts of the latter continent. Upon this circumstance, hear our orator from Nova Scotia :—"Whither went the `Mayflower,' that sailed with the Pilgrims from this port ? To the heart of the New England states. Whither went PENN'S and BALTIMORE'S emigration ? To Pennsylvania and Maryland," But if we listen to the Honourable JOSEPH HOWE upon a theme yet more familiar to his intelligence, we find his accents become yet more potent in corn mending the provinces already referred to as the proper localities for British colonization. He ob serves— "Nova Scotia, in many respects, greatly resembles England. It is nearly an island, being joined to the pro vince of New Brunswick by a narrow isthmus. Of coal, it has endless fields; it has iron in rich abundance ; in exhaustible fisheries surround its shores; and its noble harbours are open all the year round." Perhaps, however, the most powerful arguments employed by the Provincial Secretary of that impor tant possession of the British Crown have yet to be * " Sptec of for.

TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUAR Y .4, particularised, aiding, as they all do, in forcing the benefits derivable from North American emigration upon the attention of all reflective Englishmen. Con spicuous among these arguments are the subjoined : " In twenty-two years, 124,272 settlers have gone to Australia and New Zealand! About half the number on the poor-rate of Scotland in 1848. Not a tenth part of the paupers relieved in Ireland; or one in fourteen of those-who were supported by England's heavily taxed industry, in that single year. Not more, I fear, than died of famine in a single county of Ireland, from 1846 to 1850; and less, by 60,000, than the number 'of the young people who were in the workhouses of England and Ireland in 1849. Valuable then as these eastern colonies may be, and respectable as may have been the efforts to improve them, it is obvious that as aids to the removal of pressure upon the resources of the United Kingdom, those who calculate largely upon them are sure to be deceived. The reasons are obvious. Aus tralia and New Zealand are 14,000 miles from the shores of England; the British provinces of North America are but 2,500. Every poor man who embarks for Aus tralia must be maintained by somebody for 120 or 150 days, while be is rolling about in idleness on the sea. The ordinary passages to North America, in sailing vessels, is about 40 days. With steam we may hope soon to reach Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 8 or 10 days, and Canada in 12. The expense of a passage to the east is 201., to the west it is 31. 10;.; and with emigrant steam-vessels may be still further reduced. Then mark the disproportionate prices of land. In Australia or Now Zealand 100 acres of land cost 1001. sterling; in the Canterbury Settlement, 3001. In Western Canada 100 acres of the best land in the em pire can be bought for 401.; in Lower Canada for 201. In New Brunswick, where there are still 11,000,000 of ungranted acres in possession of the Government, for 121. 10s. In Nova Scotia, where land is now in many districts, as valuable as any of the colonies, and from the increase of commerce, soon will be in ell, we give 100 acres of Crown land to an emigrant for 101." If these facts are not enough of themselves to ex cite the enterprise of colonists, we know not the re lative import of such temptations. Only a day or so back, the Chancellor of the Exchequer acknowledged to the deputation who waited upon him in reference to the iniquitous duty on advertisements that the mere sight of an American newspaper, with its enormous and well-filled advertising columns, was enough to make the mouth of a Financial Minister water with mingled sentiments of delight and envy I The picture sketched by the rapid but vivid elo quence of Mr. HowE, is in its way quite as provoca tive of envy among the mass of his auditors. All one's anxiety is to be one among the number of emi grants to the New World, one among the throng of those colonists who, we doubt not now, will be hur rying across the Atlantic to our' North Americ an possessions—incited to adventure thither by the ear nest and persuasive voice of the distinguished gen tleman recently arrived amongst us on a mission from Nova Scotia to the English Government. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The semi-official Patrie announces that the demand for an increase of the PRESIDENT'S Dotation will be made to the Assembly without delay. The Bulletin de Paris, another of the semi-official organs of the Elysee, gives us in the following statement an inkling of the arguments which will be urged by the Ministry in support of this demand. The Bulletin de Paris says : " The number of petitions for assistance addressed to the President of the Republic is at the minimum 90, and sometimes as many as 250 a day, making an average of 150. Admitting that one-third,pf these: demands are rejected, there still remains 100 to satisfy every day, or 36,000 a year. It is impossible to estimate the average of the assistance granted at less than 301. At that rate it is about .1,100,000 f. a year which the President ex pends in daily assistance, without reckoning subscriptions to balls, concerts, benefits, races, charitable works, en couragement to the arts, manufactures, commerce, &c. It will be thus seen that the funds of the dotation are in great part employed before-hand, and in a manner which cannot excite any political susceptibilities." Should the Dotation be refused the present pro visional extra-Parliamentary Ministry will, it is said, be permanently installed in office. General AIIPIC, who has just returned to Paris from Constantinople, has been appointed Ambassador to the Court of London. Accounts from Cherbourg state that upwards of 200 vessels had been driven into that harbour by the recent storms. The Siacle has the following on the recent rise in the funds. " Each day of the past week stock for cash has been greatly in demand. The Rente continues to spread more and more throughout the country. Capital, in fact, is flowing more and more into this sort of invest ment; and that this will be kept up so long as the inte rest of stock is higher than the profits drawn from in vestment in land is most probable. Before the revolu tion of February there was a feeling of distrust in the public funds amongst a great part of the population, from the apprehension then generally entertained that in case of political perturbations the funds would not be respected. This feeling has been removed by the con duct observed by the Republic towards Rentiers, and now the little capitalists show unlimited confidence in public credit."

GERMANY . Accounts from Berlin of the Ist state that MAN.- TEUFFEL would shortly proceed to Dresden, to have an inverview with Prince SCLIWARTZENBERG. The interview would take place about the 15th. Accounts from Vienna of the 2i)th ult. state that it is probable the EMPEROR will visit England during the great Industrial Exhibition. The Wiesbaden Conference, to take into considera tion the existing tariff of the Zollverein, was to meet on the Ist. On this subject we find the following in the Cologne Gazelle : " Will they succeed at this Conference in establishing the necessity that it is high time to bring back the Zollverein from out of the false track into which it has gradually been driven, on to the original line? This necessity is so apparent and so imperious, as far as Prussia is concerned, that the above question is swal lowed up in another. Will the Zollverein, as it is now constituted, continue to exist undiminished and increase, if even only occasional withdrawal occur? " A commercial union (says the Cologne Gazette), which takes free trade as a fundamental principle, exer cises a moral and cultivating influence; it confutes the error that it is the duty of the State to exercise a guar dianship over the affairs of its subjects—an error which logically gives rise to the claims of the masses for the guarantee of labour and for national workshops—a claim which it is difficult to set aside as long as the poor are taxed that the enterprises of the rich may draw great gains. * e * What we need to save the true Ger man Zollverein, and to re-establish its beneficial Euro pean importance, is a speedy and complete return to its original and financial Customs principles." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES The Federal Commissioners left Hamburgh for Kiel on the Ist. They were to be followed imme diately by the Danish Commissioner, Count REVENT LOW CRIMINIL. It was intimated by the Dutch Government, about three weeks back, that they would not sell the 2,300,0001. of gold which they have to dispose of until they could obtain an offer for the entire quantity. They have now, however, no tified that they are willing to part with 340,0001. at about two per cent. below the rate of their last sale, which took place in October last, before the market was much disturbed. A bid has, in consequence, been made to them, but only for half the amount (170,0001.), and at a quarter per cent. below the price named, to which an answer is to be given in the course of a few days. At a special meeting of the Australian Mining Company held yesterday, it was agreed to appoint a corn mittee to investigate the affairs of the undertaking, and five shareholders were selected for that purpose. DANISH Aw.--The Criminal Tribunal of Copen hagen terminated on the 16th the trial of a band of 28 per sona for having committed, at different times, 349 crimes of various degrees. This trial commenced in 1842, and has thus lasted nine years. The chief of the band was a man named Pedersen, and he avowed that he had committed 22 murders, 14 incendiary fires, and 142 robberies. He was condemned to be crushed on the wheel, beginning with the feet ; afterwards to have his body burned by the common hangman, and the ashes thrown to the wind. Two of the others were condemned to slavery, or labour in the hulks for life ; seven to hard labour for life in a fortress; six to 30, and 12 to 20 years' imprisonment with hard labour in a peniten tiary on bread and water. On Saturday afternoon, as a young woman, wife of a porter employed at the Vauxhall station of the South- Western Railway, was crossing the Wandsworth-road, under the railway arch, she was struck by the leader of a waggon team, lost her footing, and fell amongst the horses' feet. Both of the off-wheels passed over her head, and death took place instantaneously. SEARCHING THE VAULTS OF THE HOUSE OF COALMONS.—Yesterday evening the ceremony of searching the vaults beneath the Houses of Parliament, customary since the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot, took place pre, vious to the assembly of Parliament this day. The ceremony is now shorn of much of its official character, the proces sion yesterday consisting merely of the under officers of the Sergeant -at-Arms and the police on duty at the Parliament House. Sin Wm. CODRINGTON.—We learn with pleasure that Sir William Codrington has had a large fortune left him by Baron Nieuman whose death occurred so recently, and who, it will be recollected, married one of the daughters of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort. Baron Nieuman was Aus trian Ambassador in the English Court when lie was united to Lady Somerset, who died in childbed a short time i)re vions to her husband's decease. The Baron was vet) , partial to Sir William, who is also married to another of the Duke's daughters, and the fortune which has been left the worthy Baronet by his relative amounts to more than 3,0001. a year, besidesjewela and plate.—Bristol Times, 1851.. THE OPENING OF PARLI A MENT. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. Parliament was opened this day by her Majesty in person with the usual formalities. Shortly after one o'clock her Majesty left Buckingham Palace and proceeded in state to the New Palace at Westminster. The route taken by the royal procession was along St. James's-park, Whitehall, Parliament-street, and Palace-yard. Her Majesty and her suite arrived at the New Palace at West minster at two o'clock. Iler Majesty was received in due form and conducted to the House of Lords, where having ascended the Throne and ordered the Commons to be summoned, her Majesty was, on the appearance of the Speaker and a crowd of Members at the bar, pleased to de liver the following most gracious Speech : " MY LORDS AND GE,NTLEMEN, " It is with great satisfaction that I again mee my Parliament, and resort to your advice and as. sistance in the consideration of measures which affec the welfare of our country. " I continue to maintain the relations of Peace and Amity with Foreign Powers. It has been my endeavour to induce the States of Germany to carry into full effect the provisions of the Treaty with Denmark, which was concluded at Berlin in the month of July of last year. I am much gratified in being able to inform yon that the German Confe" deration and the Government of Denmark are now engaged in fulfilling the Stipulations of that Treaty, and thereby putting an end to hostilities which at one time appeared full of danger to the peace of Europe. " I trust that the affairs of Germany may be ar ranged by mutual agreement, in such a manner as to preserve the strength of the Confederation and to maintain the freedom of its separate States. " I have concluded with the King of Sardinia Articles Additional to the Treaty of September, 1841, and I have directed that these Articles shall be laid before you. " The Government of Brazil has taken new, and I hope efficient measures for the suppression of the atrocious traffic in slaves. " GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " I have directed the estimates of the year to be prepared and laid before you without delay. They have been framed with a due regard to economy, and to the necessities of the public service. " Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, " Notwithstanding the large reductions of taxa tion which have been effected in late years, the re ceipts of the revenue have been satisfactory. " The state of the Commerce and Manufactures of the United Kingdom has been such as to afford general employment to the Labouring Classes. " a l have to lament, however, the difficulties which are still felt by that important body among my people who are Owners and Occupiers of Land. " But it is my confident hope, that the pros perous condition of other classes of my, subjects will have a favourable effect in diminishing those diffi culties, and promoting the interests of agriculture. " The recent assumption of certain Ecclesiastical Titles conferred by a Foreign Power has excited strong feelings in this country, and large bodies of my sub jects have presented addresses to me expressing at tachment to the Throne, and praying that such as sumptions should be resisted. I hale assured them of my resolution to maintain the rights of my Crown, and the independence of the nation, against all encroachment, from whatever quarter it may proceed. I have, at the same time, expressed my I, earnest desire and firm determination, under God's blessing, to maintain unimpaired the Religious Liberty which is so justly prized by the people of this country. "It will be for you to consider the measure which will be laid before you on this subject. " The administration of justice in the civil depart ments of law and equity, will no doubt receive the serious attention of Parliament ; and I feel confident that the measures which may be submitted with a view of improving that administration, will be discussed with that mature deliberation which impor tant changes in the highest Courts of Judicature in the Kingdom imperatively demand.. " A measure will be laid before you providing for the establishment of a system of Registration of Deeds and Instruments relating to the Transfer of Property. This measure is the result of inquiries which I have caused to be made into the practicability of adopting a system of Registration calculated to give security to titles, and to diminish the causes of litigation to which they have hitherto been liable, and to reduce the cost of transfers. " To combine the progress of improvement with the stability of our institutions will, I am confident, be your constant care. We may esteem ourselves fortunate that we can pursue, without disturbance, the course of calm and peaceable amelioration ; and we have every cause to be thankful to Almighty God for the measure of tranquillity and happiness which has been vouchsafed to us." Mr. Cobden addressed his old constituents at Stockport on Friday, at a dinner given to Mr. Kershaw, one of the present Members for that borough. The Honourable Gentleman's speech was similar to that which he delivered at the" Parliamentary Soirie" at Manchester in the previous week. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governors of Ceylon and Hong-Kong, the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands,i and the Governor of Malta. The Royal Society of Scotland, at the head of which is the Duke of Argyle, aro strongly urging the muni cipal bodies in that country to petition Parliament for the speedy completion of the trigonometrical survey. They say, that although the survey has been going on for thirty one years, its progress has been so slow that the mere skeleton of the work is not yet completed. The Irish survey was commenced in 1825, and practically brought to a close in 1843, at an average outlay of 40,000/. a year, while the average expenditure of the survey for Scotland had only amounted to 1,200 a year. If carried on at the same rate, it would require 160 years for its completion. GLASGOW, FEB. l.—Cotton—The market showed some animation in the early part of the week, but it has again relapsed and closes dull, purchases being only made for immediate wants. Prices are rather in favour of buyers. Middling Orleans may be quoted 74d. per lb. The transac tions for the month of January just closed do not exceed 5,000 bales. The market for goods and yarn is flat, and little business doing. There have been three failures during the week, but the liabilities are not large, and they have not created any sensation. Pig Iron—There has been scarcely any change in the price of pig-iron during the week, and an almost complete absence of business, which makes quotations quite nominal. To. day 435. for No. 1 against bill of lading, 445. 6d. for No. 1 Gartsharrie, and 435. 6d. for warrants may be quoted as the prices. MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—The treasurers of this excellent charity have been informed of a very seasonable addition to their funds, by a munificent legacy of 1,0001., free of duty, under the will of Thomas Anseldo Howson, Esq., deceased. SURREY CONSUMERS' GAS LIGHT ASSOCIATION. — On Friday the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the works of this company at Rotherhithe was performed by the Lord Mayor in presence of a large concourse of spec tators. His Lordship said he had no personal interest in the association, but he considered himself bound, upon public grounds, to support it, inasmuch as its object was to supply a good and cheap article of general consumption. SIR JOHN BARROW'S MONUMENT STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.—We regret to State that the beautiful tower erected in commemoration of the late Sir John Barrow, at Ulverstone, on the coast of Cumberland, was, on Thursday night last, the 30th of January, struck by lightning, which partially destroyed the cupola and damaged other parts of the building. After the many instances of such casualties, it is matter of surprise and regret that early means are not resorted to for guarding such beautiful structures against the cb ructive efLets of atmospheric electricity A workman upon the Liverpool and Manchester Railway was killed on Saturday last at the foot of the Sutton incline. He was injudiciously crossing the line when an en gine came up, knocked him down, and paseed over his body. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales cf Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 4,000 bales, comprising about 3,000 American, 200 Perm= and Maranham, at 80. to 80..; 100 BOP'tian, tian, at B e id. to Bid.; 100 Bahia, a t Bd. to 80.; Surat, at sd. to 51d. per lb. The market was quiet, but steady, at previous rates.—Railway Shares continued firm, at further advanced prices. The American letters were delivered this morning. The immense arrivals of gold dust from California are and 600 the principal feature, taken with the extraordinary fact of the discovery of silver and lead mines. Speculation was naturally very rife upon this, and, as a local writer observes— "lt will be perceived that quotations for Government and regular interest-paying State stocks have not varied during the past month; but stocks of the delinquent. States, and those of incorporated com p a nies of doubtfu l character, have advanced considerably. The most el' traordinary feature of the existing speculative wove' meet in the stock market, is the enormous inflation of prices for the most worthless securities, while really good stocks have varied but a small Pe r cent. Speculations in stocks usually take this course but the rise in prices, during the past six months, for all the fancies, has been greater than has been known for years, while good stocks have been comparative l l. stationary. It must, however, be a d m itt e d, that all soun d cafe dividend paying stocks are high enough. Govern mentd and Stale stocks, at pr esen t p r i ces , p a y but a small rate of interest ; but those who have nu confidence in any fancy stock, prefer a more moderate rate of interest' if the security is undoubted." Business at San Francisco was dull, but the season was against active business. Th e quan tity of gold dust exported from Calif o r n i a was a l toge th e r, in two years and six months, about 70 millions of dollars. A silver mine had been discovered at Monterey. Advices of Jan. 13 have, via the U n it e d States, been received from Jamaica, The cholera had disapPonf ed almost entirely. Not less than 20,000 souls are said to have perished by it.
