The Proprietor had the honour of submitting the Model to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, stud lie is delighted to say it met with his most decide and perfect approval, and from the more than usual care which has been observed in its execution, he points it out as e happiest production of Mr. Danson's pencil. The drawings were made by Mr. Damson on the spot, and present a bird's-eye view of the principal objects of the Old and New Town, the Firth of Forth, &e. The PROMENADE CONCERTS, so decidedly popular at this Establishment, will this season be on an unusually effective scale.

We trust it may be very long ere we have to apply to any lesson of political wisdom, that the example of France may teach us, the well-known maxim—"fas est et ab haste doceri." In a much more friendly spirit, however, we may safely argue that there can be no harm in our taking come leaves out of the book of France, when their contents happen to be applicable to the case of this country, and the best mode of dealing with its most important inte rests. In our pages of yesterday we had to transfer no less than three of such leaves into our THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDA I[7 _MORNING, MAY 15, 1845. own journal. The first was a statistical and well arranged list of the French navy, effective and not effective—its actual and its growing amount, and the extended elements of its increase. The second was the passing of a Bill through the Chamber of De puties for the truly national purpose of protecting the ancient monuments of France. The third was the somewhat unusual event in the French Legis lature of the presentation of a petition signed by 25,000 people. Its prayer was for an inquiry into the condition of the working classes. _ _ . To begin, first, with the last but not the least im portant of these matters, it must be owned that Lord J. RUSSELL has already anticipated it by his forthcom ing motion on tho same subject—the sufferings of our industrial classes. The proceeding of M. ROLLIN, however, may serve to fortify the case which Ms Lordship will have to urge upon the House of Com mons, by showing that similar evil influences are seriously affecting in act one of the most meritorious as well as largest communities in our social system. If our own opinion or advice might. avail, it would be given in the way of exhortation to the French as well as to the English statesman, to persevere in the design they have respectively avowed'. There can be no question but that one of the most dangerous aspects which a great country like England or France can exhibit, is, an accumulating aggregate of unemployed or of miserably underpaid labour. When able-bodied labour cannot realize wages on which it is possible to subsist itself, and those who depend immediately and entirely upon its efforts, it very naturally determines that it may as well cease to work, whilst industry fails to procure any better return than the pittance grudgingly given at all times to unemployed pau perism. But when able-bodied labour, ready and anxious for the employment it seeks, can obtain none, then by as natural a process, though it be a more un fortunate one of reasoning, it arrives at the conclusion that what it cannot obtain on the fair conditions it is prepared to fulfil, that is of hard working, it must take, to satisfy the primary duty as well as appetite— that of self-preservation. Now, the sooner you can turn masses of men from the habitual, though unconscious, study of these political ethics, which determine in the running of a vicious parallel between the rights of labour and the liabilities of property, the better. For when these masses are left in the full leisure for indulging in these perilous communings of compul sory want with repudiated industry, the disorganisa tion of society is at hand. The only chance of grap pling with so perilous a disease is one of anticipatory treatment—preventive rather than remedial. We would implore Lord Jour RUSSELL to bring to this great social question, involving the solution, as it does, of one of the most complicated, and yet most frequently recurring political problem, the who!e resources, information, and energy of his gifted and sagacious mind. In M. RowN's hands we have no doubt, looking to the advantageous light in which his talents have been already developed to the public, that the same comprehensive theme will be very ably treated. It is greatly to the intereEt of European civilisation, and the peace and repose of all its States, that these topics should be thoroughly and dispassion ately discussed in the Legislatures of two of its mightiest kingdoms, with a view to the devising of some scheme for providing per manent guarantees against the fearful tenden cies of unoccupied and pauperised industry. It is a disturbing force in the working machinery of our existing social system, which, if you cannot control by giving to it its necessary evolution within assigned limits, will inevitably acquire an explosive power, that once generated will annihilate the engine within which it has hitherto revolved. With regard to the Bill to protect the ancient monuments of their country, the Chamber of Deputies has certainly had the start of the British Parliament. And yet what country abounds with more numerous or ennobling reminiscences of its past history, of this kind, than Great Britain ? In what country shall we find grey ruins and sculptured effigies, the associations and originals connected with which are better calculated to inspire the present generation especially the younger branches of it—with more generous emulation or lofty virtues, grand qualities and high achievements, love of country, thvotion to its glory, attachment to its institutions, than our own ? Alas, that we must also ask, in what country are these relics of visible and tangible history so rapidly disappearing, so scandalously neglected, so apathetically regarded by successive Governments, so wantonly outraged by the bad taste, bad feeling, or profound ignorance of indi viduals, and parochial, and municipal, and ecclesias• tical authorities? Some of the most classical, albeit the most guilt-stained ground of this ancient metropolis--foundations, walls, and turrets, and chapels, state-chambers and state-dungeons in the Tower of London, the tombs of royal and baronial guests, or prisoners—have been rudely dismantled, levelled to the dust, and are at this moment in the course of re moval, and with them, haply, the very bones of some of England's best descended nobles, to make room for barracks and other such modern desecrations. There is no Board to protect the dust that should have been sacred, as impressed with the traditionary footsteps of a majestic chivalry : but there is a Board of re spectable Commissioners, with a Noble Chairman at their head too, for the direction of such national leries, and national columns, and national fountains, and national anomalies of all kinds, as disgrace the na tional folly called Trafalgar-square. The list of the French Navy is a text which, NN e trust, in the language of our Dissenting friends, the Government "will improve." We have no complaint to make against the Ministry of France for the gigan tic advance they have given to the French marine. It is astounding, but it does them infinite honour. All we are interested at this moment to demand in reference to it is, that our own Admiralty adminis trators will not be above learning from this remarkable document, how time is to be taken by the forelock, and all possible exigencies are to be met, and there fore disposed of, by timely preparation. With one half of the foresight and alacrity displayed by the Baron MAcx.Aw, and the department over which he Presides, applied t) the means, the navy, and the material at the command of our own Admiralty, and to the crres of preparation, combination, and disposal, the office of naval censor3hip, so beneficially exercised by Sir C. NAPIER, would become extinct. At the Repeal Association, held on Monday, two subjects of importance were brought forward for dis cussion—the Irish Academies Bill and the Call of the House—and on both Mr. O'CONNELL was the chief speaker. It is with pain that we advert to the remarks he made, because they show little disposition to aid the Government in confer ring benefits on Ireland, and no sympathy what ever with the Irish Members, who perform their duties, and risk the anger of the Repealers for the good of their Country. The scheme proposed by Sir J. GRAHAM he pronounces most objectionable, and wonders at " tl.e flippancy with which the Irish Members (meaning, of course, Mr. SHELL and Mr. Wyse) of the House of Com mons ex pressed their approbation. Yes, they displayed in decent and unworthy flippancy. In the new colleges there was not to be lodging for the professors or students, no boner, no provision of any kind for their support or protection. They were to have no connexion with any clergyman, nor be under the authority of any bishop." These are only a few of the objections pointed out, and it is curious to observe that the very same comp] ints would apply to Edinburgh and Glasgow Universities, seats of learning that produced REID and SMITH, ROBERTSON and BLAIR, BLACK and CULLEN, and Mown°, besides a bright galaxy of illustrious men, not less distinguished for morality and religion than fur important discoveries in almost every art and science. But the evident ground of antipathy, or, rather, hatred to the measure, rests on the fact that the Catholic bishops are to have no control over the institutions. GOD forbid that they should ! Such a clause in the Bill would, to a certainty, have destroyed every benefit it is calculated to confer, and would justly have raised such a host of enemies that the strongest Government could not carry it through either House of Parliament. The Bishops, both Protestant and Catholic, have quite enoug h to d o i n attend i ng to their religious duties without interfering with the edu ' cation of young men, and bending their thoughts to pecu liar theological dogmas. It ought to be th e primary ob ject of the measure to avoid all distinctions of sect and party, to bring the youth of the country into the same school, to refine their minds by literature and science, quench religious animosity, and teach them to live together as friendly subjects of the same Sove reign. Mr. O'CONNELL agreed with only one speaker in the debate, the very last man in the world with whom he sh(,uld agree on such a subject. " It was a godless scheme of education, and he agreed with Sir R. INGLIS, when he denounced it as a gigantic scheme of godless education." But on what principles can they agree, unless Sir R. ING*.rs has adopted the theological tenets of WARD and NEWMAN, and is a rank Catholic ? This, however, is not Mr. O'CoNNELL's meaning. His scheme would eitablish an impassable gulf between Protestants and Catholics, give power to a clergy already too powerful, and keep up that system of aliena- tion which has caused such woes to Ireland. From his colleges all members of the Established Church, all Dissenters, all young men, in fact, of every shade of reli gion, except the true one, would be excluded, so that we should not only have a repeal of the Union, but the total destruction of some of the most noble institutions in the United Kingdom. Such a scheme is utterly im practicable. Nu Government:could propose it—no legis lature would adopt it—the plan would be scouted by the universal voice of England and Scotland, and per haps Ireland too, and we must infer either that Mr. O'CoNNELL's mind is not what it was, or that he really has in view the purpose which his enemies impute to him. His attack on LOUIS PHILIPPE is equally out of place. That sagacious Sovereign, we admit, has not maintained the principles on which his dynasty was established in 1830, but he has made great atonement for his political back slidings by his firm determi nation to put down the Jesuits and curb the insolence of an encroaching and despotic Church—the bitterest enemy of freedom and sound moral instruction. The Jesuits have done incalculable mischief to Europe, as is well stated in the following extract from an able article in the last Edihburgli Review " Wherever a Jesuit colony alights, a factitious life is coin municated—order, and zeal, and patience, begin their work, and marvels are the result ; then follows a period in which all things stiffen into a stationary regularity ; and lastly, inevi tabl e decay—decay proceeding from no external causes, but obviously developing itself from within. What conquests were ever like those of the Jesuits in infidel countries? And what conquests were ever more transitory? But the great work of the society in Christendom itself, still more strongly exemplifies its peculiar destiny. The Jesuits found the old Church of Rome—the Media3val Church—to all appearance dead, and exposed a corpse in the streets to the gaze of exulting nations. They breathed the breath of life into the dry bones, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceeding great army. They rebuilt the Latin world after their own fashion, even as, in architecture, they substituted the one, unvarying, wearisome form of the Jesuit Church, for the the usand exquisite devices of the Gothic school. And they conducted that revived Catholicism — gently, regularly, with little of outward disturbance or dis order—to a second stage of apparent decrepitude and death, in the embraces of the infidelity of the last century. Once more it has renewed its youth ; but under the inspiration of influences widely different from theirs. So in political his tory; we read. in the first ago of their duration, of great things accomplished by their means ; ever after, the appa rition of a Jesuit in a court is a mortal symptom. Where a dynasty dies out in squalid imbecility, there is always pre sent some Jesuit figure leading it softly to the grave ' --as in Spain and the Netherlands under the last Austrian kings, in Austria und.,r her late sovereigns of the house of Hapsburg. Wherever misguided power overstrains itself, and draws down ruin on its own head, there is a Jesuit at hand whis pering fatal encouragement : witness the last years of Louis XIV., James 11., Charles X. A general character of sterility marks at once their greatest and most trifling efforts." Madrid journals of the 6th inst. have been receive& Oa that day the discussion on the motion for increasing the revenue by taxes on property and new tolls was resumed, and opposed by the Finance Minister. Ile trusted that the Cortes would sanction the measures proposed by the Government, and see the necessity fur establishing order in the Administration, and strength ening the national credit by religiously fulfilling all public obligations. The motion was rejected by a majority of 88 to 22. It was understood that the Chambers would be:prorogued on the 15th. The Three per Cents. closed at 34 746 for cash, and 35e at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. a: 25k for the 20th of May; and the Debt without Interest at 8 4 1 at CO days. Only a few of the Paris papers were published on Whit-Monday, and the intelligence in theM is not of much interest. Those of the Opposition seem to reckon on a speedy breaking -up of the GUIZOT Ministry. Nearly one-half of the Cabinet, according to the Courrier Francais, are ill, or pretend to be ill. The following is the bulletin which that journal issues on the strength of the Ministry and the health of the Ministers :—" It is known that the Lemardelay Club was formed for the great object of saving the Government and the country, by making or unmaking Ministries. It was it which, after the debate on the address, so miraculously restored the Ministry of October 29, when mortally wounded, and said to it Go on 1 At the present moment this Conservative Club again throws its weight into the scale of the Ministerial destiny. Has not the Cabinet which it then revived lived long enough? Is not its fated hour come ? Lazarus still drags along the winding sheet which is not yet thrown off. A living being was supposed to be found again ; but there is nothing more than a disinterred corpse. The club is now again deli berating, and the 29th of October is on the eve of being consigned to the tomb. 'Look,' said one of the speakers of the club ; GUIZOT will no longer be able to conduct the business of the State—his heart is broken, and he needs a lengthened repose. M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE is repeatedly indisposed, and seeks only a warm retreat. M. DUBION himself thinks fit to be unwell, and without his Canal de la Garonne he would not be even convalescent. We will pass by in silence MM . . DE MACKAU and CUNINT-GRIDAINE, feithT - y have a special license to laugh at the doctor. But as to M. MARTIN (du Nord), if he is nut confined to his bed, he ought to be so—the Jesuit is the worm that is gnawing his entrails, and he has not strength to drive it away. What can be said of the old Marshal, but that he can never get older than he is. There remain only MM. SALVANDY and DUCHATEL. The first came into the Cabinet with youth and strength and health; but behold he has lately become gouty and suffering. Besides, he never believed that his functions would be durable, for he has never installed himself in the hotel of his Ministry, but continues to reside at No. 30, Rue Cassette, as if he only modestly occupied his place ad interim I If health could make a great statesman, the second-named gentle. man would be the best of Ministers possible—M. Du CHATEL has the shoulders of an Atlas; but that is not sufficient when the head is weak. What can be done with a Ministry which is decapitated and dismembered ?' It appears, however, that the health of M. GurzoT is gradually improving, and his perfect and speedy re establishment is looked on as certain. He was received on Saturday by the KING and royal family. The de parture of the Duchess DE NEMOURS for London is an nounced. Her Royal Highness is to attend the grand bal coseume which the QUEEN proposes giving on the 20th of June. The following are miscellaneous extracts from tl'e papers: -- " Letters from Palma," says the Presse," state that the D uke (le Montpensier intends to visit the Balearic Islands, and in - ,Tect them in all their details, on his return from the ex pedition against the Kabyles." The report on the Budget will be presented, it is supposed, on Thursday. The proceedings of the session will then be carried on more rapidly, and it is calculated that its ter mination will arrive about the end of June or the beginning of July. It is reported that in a few days an ordonnance Brill he issued creating four more new peers. Three of them, it is said, will be Baron Sers, Prefect of the Gironde, M. Jeyr, Prefect of the RhOne, and M. Annisson Duperron, formerly deputy. The fourth is not named. The Report of the Committee on the Bill for regulating the Juges de Pain is on the point of being distributed to the Deputies. It concurs with the Government in the propriety of granting them fixed salaries in place of fees. It proposes that the salaries of the Juges de Pais, in towns and com• munes which have not only 6,000 inhabitants, but even as few as 3,000, should be 1,500 f. per annum ; but they sup press the indemnities of 500 f., and I,ooof. mentioned in the schedules A and B annexed to the Bill. The following is an extract of a letter from Algiers, of May 1 :—" It was the famous chief Ben Nini who, on April 20, led the attack on the troops and convoy going to Orleans vine. He himself came the same day into Tenez to ascer tain that all the troops had gone out, protesting at the same time his devoted fidelity. The Governor-General has pro claimed him to be an outlaw, and none of the tribes can now dare to shelter him. For several days Tenez was blockaded, and shots were fired in broad daylight on several of the out posted sentinels. Colonel Claparede, who went out with the garrison troops, has returned, after having chastised several tribes who had joined the insurrection. He has brought with him several influential persons, and detained them pri soners. His column had to sustain some rather severe conflicts." The Council General of the Bank of France has finally de termined to establish a branch bank at Algiers on the follow ing conditions :—" The capital is fixed at 10,000,000 f., of which 2,000,000 f. are tobe furnished by the Bank of France, and 8,000,000 f. by shareholders, on the issue of 8,000 shares of I,ooof. each. All further call for capital is prohibited, so that the above parties cannot in any case be held responsible for larger sums than those they have respectively advanced.

AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The arrival of the Caledonia steamer, Captain Lott, from Boston and Halifax, has been anxiously looked for, and, true to her time, she was telegraphed off Holyhead at half-past three o'clock yesterday, and arrived in the Mersey at half-past eleven. We have received by this vessel New York pipers to the 30th ult., being six days later than the intel ligence furnished by the Great Western. The great topics in these papers are the Oregon question, and the unsettled relations of the United States with Mexico. As regards the former, the intelligence, on the whole, is satisfactory. There is a good deal of bluterir g in some of the democratic journal?, with bittr'r allusions to the remarks made in the British Parliament, and something like defiance against Eng land. But the more sober and respectable part of the press take a different view of the subject, and regard with satisfaction an amicable settlement of the differences. One of them publishes a report to which it inclines to give credit, that the result of the President's delibera tions with his Cabinet on the Oregon question was a determination to follow the example of the British Go vernment on the Maine boundary affair, ar.d send a spe cial Minister to London. Even the Minister has been named—Mr. Van Buren—and we have heard also, in this tonne :ion, the name of another distinguished leader in the democratic party. A correspondent from Washington says ;—" There is great actility in the State Department just now, and Mr. Buchanan bad a long conference with the President this morning, and he also received dispatches from Mr. Pakenham." The New York Herald, which professes to echo the popular cry, is even peaceable, and merely calls upon the Government to maintain the honour of the country, which England certainly has no wish to inter fere with. We subjoin an extract from that journal of the 30th of April:— " It is very evident that Great Britain is in earnest in her an nouncement of uncompromising hostility to our claims to the Oregon territory. She assures us that she is prepared to maintain her pretensions at every hazard. She is certainly at this moment in a very excellent condition for enforcing her claims and carry ing her threats into execution. She has settled her difficulties in the East. She has satisfactorily arranged the Chinese affair. She has at present no particular business in the way of war on hand. Her financial condition is prosperous in the highest degree. She was never, in fact, more powerful, more unembarassed, more able to effect her purposes than now. It is surely, then, incumbent on our Government to make some preparation for meeting this for midable enemy. The whole country should be put into a state of defence at once. The President should immediately summon an extra session of Congress. The navy and army should be increased. The militia should be re-organized, and put in such a condition as to present a ,more reliable means of support than an armed mob. The defence of the country should be made wot thy of the name. All the recent improvements in naval warfare should be introduced. A steam navy should be erected at once, which could be used in connexion with commerce, and be always in readiness for actual service. Communication between the great cities along the coast and in the interior should Le established by means of the magnetic telegraph. This is the way to negotiate. We do not wish a war. We deprecate war. It would be a great calamity. But we do not wish to see the country humiliated. We desire to see the country in a proper posture of defence, fully prepared with the means of negotiating with honour and success." The TVash:n9ton Globe, which, though not the official paper, is understood to express with more authenticity than any other the views of the administration, thus con clu&s an article headed " War with Eugland:"— " Nothing was ever more true than the sentiment expressed by Mr. Polk, in his inaugural address —' that every extension of our empire gave an additional security of peace to the world.' "Yet have we been forced at times, and that too under 'the mildest of our rulers, from this, the settled policy of our Govern. ment ; and it is our solemn conviction that we shall soon again be called on to take up arms against our former and only adversary. It is perfectly manifest that they regard this as a favourable mo ment to renew the system of aggression upon us which has re. stilted in war heretofore ; which to submit to is only to invite new wrongs —wrongs premeditated, not for the advantage which ac crues to them, but arranged and settled upon merely as the means of bringing on the conflict of arms, or the entire abandonment of our rights as a nation. The only mode to avoid this is, the firm adherence by the President to the letter and spirit of his inaugural address. He will be sustained by the nation in that; for, not withstanding the English Ministers choose to level their lances at Mr. Polk, it is not to be forgotten that the previous action of the House of representatives had, by an immense majority, given their sanction to his language. By the truckling abandonment of our rights by Mr. Webster in the Ashburton treaty, we lost the subject of controversy, forfeited the respect of the world and of ourselves, and invited new and unfounded pretensions from our adversary. " This, *0 far as it goes, certainly indicates a disposition on the part of the dominant party to insist upon our whole claim to Oregon, even at the hagard of war. We do not believe any such action will be sustained by the people. The question is pre-emi nently one for arbitration. If our claim is not just we ought nor to insist upon it. Great Britain has heretofore offered to submit it to such arbitration under the most liberal conditions. This proffer of peace was rejected—with more emphasis than dignity-- by our Government. Should it be renewed, we have no hesitation in saying that it should be at once accepted. We shall run no risk of losing anything to which we have a right; and when rights are conflicting, mutual concessions —concessions which a neutral party would deem just—should reconcile them. . , " If we should be plunged, by madness or folly, into war with England or with the world, we should do all in our power to in sure its vigorous prosecution and successful issue ; but we trust the country will not become engaged in such a contest, without having exhausted all honourable efforts for the preservation of peace." The following is the money article in the New York Courier and Enquirer : " We continue in an agitated state in respect of our foreign relations; not that any one thinks war is at h an d , b ut that many fear through the complication of difficulties that war may at last come. We do not deem such a result possibl e w i th common pru dence on the part of this nation, and yet the bare apprehension of it causes doubts and hesitation both to the'stocks and money market. " At this season there is generally great activity in home busi ness, and such is the case just now, for produce does not feel the effect of the warlike rumours and apprehensions. Indeed, thus far the whole effect is confined to operators in stocks, which rise and fall as rumours more or less angry, or more or less probable, prevail, " The foreign business of the year was expected t o f a ll s h or t of that of last year, and especially the importations : and the estimates by the Treasury of receipts from the Customs for the current year were at a considerably lower figure than those of the past year. The result will turn out as foreseen. Thus far the duties received at this port, as compared with those for the same time last year, have fallen off more than a million and a half of dollars, as may be seen by the annexed state men t : Receipts from Jan. I to April 27, 1844 $7,136,302 Ditto dltte 26, 1845 ... 5,549,207 Decrease in 1845 ......... " The same relative diminution will be found in the Custom House receipts at other ports. " In cotton there has been considerable activity, at full prices. " The state of the exchanges remains unchanged. Sterling is steady at 94 to gi, and France at sf. 25e. to 26f. Money is in good demand. The banks make their quarterly statement on the Ist of May, and in order to make a good appear ance, prepare in advance by calling in Inane and accumulating specie which, the statement once made, they again release. " The line of discounts g enerall y is pretty well up, and that of specie remains without mate rial v ariation. There are always very heavy payments fatting due in May, whi c h, h owever, the banks will facilitate by extending their discounts, and, if no unforeseen events occur, we see no reason to suppose that money will be scarce or high for months to come. " The operations of the Stock Exchange this morning were un usually limited. cultivate amicable relations with that of Mexico; and here he will improve this opportunity to repeat that which he has before communicated to the Government of Mexico—to wit, that the United States has not adopted the measure of annexation in any spirit of hostility towards Mexico, and that the United States are anxious to settle all questions which may grow out of this mea sure, including that of boundaries, in terms the most just and Having offered the olive branch of peace, and manifested a sin cere desire to arrange these questions amicably and upon principles just and honourable to both Governments, the United States have done whatever is in their power to preserve the friendly relations between them, and it now remains for Mexico to decide whether they shall be continued, or whether the peace of the two countries shall be broken by a conflict equally injurious to both, and whisk can give satisfaction only to the enemies of civil liberty and repub. titan institutions. The undersigned will pass over in silence the charge made against his Government of having violated the treaty of friendship with Mexico. The right of Texas to cede the whole or a part of her territory to the United States, and the right of the United States to accept such cession, have already been amply vindicated repeatedly. The undersigned has received no official communica tion as to the action of his Government in regard to the annexa tion of Texas to the Union ; nevertheless, he cannot doubt, from the tenor of his pers 'nal correspondence, that the measure has been passed by Congress and approved by the President. He ex pects daily dispatches from his Government, with special instruc tions upon this subject, and before taking any further steps, has re solved to await their arrival. The undersigned has the honour, &c., WILSON SHANNON, Minister, tce. In reply to the above, the following letter was sent two days after : National Palace, Mexico, April 2, 1845. The undersigned, Minister of Foreign Relations, has the honour to communicate to his Excellency, Mr. Shannon, Minister, *c. in reply to the note of His Excellency of the 31st of March tisit the Government of Mexico cannot continue diplomatic relations with the United States upon the presumption that such relations are reconcileable with the law which the President of the United States has approved in regard to the annexation of the department of Texas to the American Union : that this determination is founded upon the necessity which Mexico is under of maintaining no friesidship with a Republic which has violated her obligations, usurped a portion of territory which belongs to Mexico by a right which she will maintain at whatever cost; that the relations be tween the two countries cannot be re-established before a com plete reparation of that injury [agravio] such as is demanded by good faith, justice to Mexico, and the honour of the United States, is made. Moreover, the undersigned will take the liberty to say to his Excellency, Mr. Shannon, that if the United States Government thinks that it entertained friendly sentiments towards Mexico at the time of giving such offence, and when attacking the integrity of the Republic of Mexico, this Government (Mexico), is very far from entertaining the same views, or of acquiescing in the assu rances which his Excellency, Mr. Shannon, has given, whatever may be its sentiments towards his Excellency personally. The undersigned, in making this announcement to his Excel. lency Mr. Shannon, doing so by the order of the President of Mexico—cutting short a new discussion which the interruption of the relations of the two countries will not permit, and because no. thing can be added to what this Department has already said—has the honour to renew the assurances of his very distinguished consi deration. LUIS Q. CNEVAS. Santa Anna's trial was slowly progressing. His health is represented as being very indifferent. The British frigate Eurydice arrived at Vera Cruz on the morning of the 12th instant, from Galveston, with dispatches, which were immediately forwarded to the capital. Captain Patherson, of the schooner Fanny, spoke, on the 17th instant, in lat. 20.46, lon. 95.20, the American squadron, consisting of the frigate Potomac, sloop Fal mouth, and brigs Fairfield and Somers, bound to Vera Cruz. Letters had been received in Vera Cruz from the American Minister, Mr. Shannon, who had retired to Tacubaya, that he would leave for the United States in a few days. It is probable that he is only awaiting dis patches which he knows to be on their way to him, be fore taking leave of Mexico. The city of Mexico had been much damaged by an earthquake, experienced on the 7th ult. There is no news from Canada. " GOVERNMENT SECURITIES. " Tnesday, April 29. Offered. Asked.

The Neu , Orleans Picayune of the 20th, says Mexico has not declared war against the United States ; hut the official paper, El Diario del Goberno, of the 3d instant., announces that it is in possession of certain movements on the part of the Government of a warlike character, which it is constrained to withhold from the public, as secrecy is the soul of military operations ; but that journal adds, that it trusts that the speedy and successful issue of these operations will soon relieve the public curiosity in regard to them. The papers of the capital and of Vera Cruz are occupied almost exclusively with the sub ject of annexation. There are not wanting those who insist that there is no alternative left to Mexico, to pre serve untarnished her honour, but war. The Sig/o of the 4th inst., contains a letter from Mr. Shannon to the Mexican Minister of Foreign Relations in reply to the official note of Senor Cuevas, announcing the termination of official relations between the two countries. This note, and a circular addressed by the Mexican Cabinet to the Ministers of France, Spain, and England, we laid before our readers in our Thursday's edition. We will now give 2,1 r. Shannon's reply-- which has undergone two translations, first into Spanish and now again into English—and also a rejoinder from Senor Cuevas. It appears to us that Mr. Shannon is not pursuing a dignified course in pressing a correspon dence upon the Mexican Government after the publica tion of the documents, of which the following are the sequel: — United States Legation, March 31st, 1845. The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary, &c., of the United States, has the honour of acknowledging the receipt of his Ex cellency's, Senor Cuevas', Minister of Foreign Relations, &c., note of the 28th of March, announcing that the Congress of the United States has sanctioned the annexation of Texas to its terri tory ; that the Mexican Minister at Washington had terminated his official relations and protested against the said act of the Congress and Government of the United States, and that diplo matic relations between the Leo countries should not be continued. The liberal and honourable sentiments entertained by the actual Government of Mexico, had induced the undersigned to hope that the differences which exist between the two Governments could be arranged amicably upon terms just and honourable to both. It would appear, however, from the note of his Excellency Senor Cuevas, that Mexico declines to adjust these differences in this manner, and thus preserve the peace of the two countries. The undersigned c an assure his Excellency Senor Cuevas, that Mr. Shannor. Government entertains the liveliest desire to COURT CIRCULAR.

In the City, as far as w e c an co ll es t the opinions of those most intimately connected with the United States, the ad vices per Caledonian are considered to b' satisfactory, and there is very little apprehension of unpleasant consequences arisingfroin the Oregon affair. On the of her hand, however, the Mexican relations appear more unsettled, and from the , circumstance of an American fleet having left for the Gulf of Mexico, we may conclude the Government at Washington is not altogether easy on the subject. The markets for imports were not active, and, generally, the business doing was more limited. Money still continued rather tight at New York, as is shown in the following extract, which also touches on the causes :—" The condition of the commercial classes is such that the banks prefer making 1 , ans on stock security. The heavy losses of the past year of the importing and jobbing houses of this city have injured the credit of the class gene rally, and the banks discount no more of the paper of those doing an extensive • western and southern business, than they can possibly help. The banks of this city are almost ex clusively devoted to the interests of the stock specula tors of Wall-street. They are indirectly of some benefit to the mercantile classes, but the brokers of the street are accommodated with one hundred dollars where a regular merchant is accommodated with one dollar. The banks disguise and cover up the loans to stock speculators in every possible way. They report as distinct and separate items a certain amount loaned to brokers ; loans to Direc tors; and the usual discount line. The last item is intended to represent the loans to those engaged in legitimate business operations, but a true and correct classification of the nature of the loans of every banking institution in Wall street, would show an amount loaned to brokers whose whole business is to speculate is stocks, much larger than the amount loaned to any other class of business men. There is no doubt but that loans upon such security as United States, New York State or city, or any other good sterling stock, is much safer than loans on the general run of business paper, but these banks were not chartered for the exclusive benefit of a few stock jobbers, but on the contrary were chartered to facilitate trade and to extend commerce by a concentration of capital." In Canada a moderate business was doing, and the colony seemed prosperous, one writer says :—" It will be good news to the friends of Canada in England, to learn, that the Legis lature has passed the Bill to sanction a railroad from Mon treal to the province line, from thence to be continued to the shores of the Atlantic, at Portland. A fresh field is by this means opened for the employment of British capital, and the interest ofCanada. will become of more importance to all classes at home. It is impossible to calculate on the results of soim portant a work as this, which will alone serve to satisfy the British public that Canada is shaking off her lethargy, and is catching the active spirit of the age, which points onwards.'

TIMES.—The premium on geld at Paris is 19 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10,l i d. per ounce for standard gold, rives an exc'lange of 25 63 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77 k, it follows that gold is 0.56 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 lq ; and the exchange at Hathburgh on London at short being 13 it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 per cent.; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.08 per cent. against England. But the quoted exi-hange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be deducted from the above difference. The Earl of Yarborough has laid out a consider able portion of land on his estate in the isle of Wight for gardens of ai quarter of an acre each, to be let to the labourers of the district. FATAL COLLISION ON THE RIVER.—At a quarter before 'two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, as the Waterman steamer, NoL 5, was conveying from three to four hundred passengers from London to Greenwich, she met with a serious accident by a billyboy from Goole, Yorkshire, running her bowsprit across the bow of the steamer, and knocking all the passengers within her sweep flat on the deck. Un fortunately a gentleman of the name of Williams, fringe manufacturer, residing in Wick -street, Spitalfields, accom panied by his son and daughter, were among the greatest sufferers. Mr. W. had his collar-bone and one arm broken, and the other arm much injured; his son, aged ten years, was killed on the spot; his daughter, aged four, was much injured about the head, and had one finger broken. Wm. Kent, of Seckford-street, Clerkenwell, clerk to Mr. Wales, of Carey •street, Lincoln's Inn, solicitor, received severe con tusions ; and two gentlemen, who refused to give their names, were knocked overboard, but were fortunately saved by the crew of the Waterman. The captain of the steamer immediately proceeded with the sufferers to the Dread nought, Seaman's hospital-ship, and put the unfortunate sufferers on board that vessel, where every attention was instantly paid them by the captain and medical gentleman on board. The steamer was backlog astern at the time of the collision, in order to avoid the accident. The billyboy ported her helm, which led to the unfortunate occurrence, the vessel being under full sail and with the up tide strong at the time. It is stated that had the sailing vessel kept her straight course instead of porting, no accident could have happened. The accident was off Limehouse. FIRE AT BARKING, NEAR NEEDHAM MARKET.— On Saturday evening last a fire broke out upon the farming premises belonging to Mr. Brown, of Barking, in the occu pation of Mr. Joseph Elliott. It raged with considerable fury for some time, consuming a barn, outbuildings, two stacks, part of a clover stack, and a few implements. The loss is covered by insurance in the Suffolk Fire-office.
