The deepest interest is still manifested as to the state of Ireland and the prospects of the approaching harvest. Much controversy exists as to the appear ance of the potato crop, and the probability of its escaping the fatal taint that has already shown itself, beyond the possibility of doubt, in some districts. The fearful consequences of that mysterious visita tion to those who fell more immediately within its in fluence, the frightful destitution and suffering to which so many of our Irish brethren were exposed, the number of victims who prematurely perished from the combined effects of famine and pestilence must excite the anxious desire of every man possessed of the common feelings of humanity for the adoption of any system by which the chances of a recurrence of such heart-rending scenes might be materially lessened, or rendered wholly impossible ; while the increased prices of every sort of provisions, the de ranged state of the money market, and the consequent difficulties by w hi c h every b ranc h o f tra d e an d manu facture is affected, the people thrown out of employ ment, a n d t h eir comforts bridged, not only in Ire land, but in this country also, must awaken the appre hensions:lf even nie r t e h l the most most callou s an d i nsens ibl e , who fro a ctuated by c lass, however, to w,hwomhoPtseuheyseeq:uyesetxio.n similar impulses, motives will b e ion t . .e . n r ce is de pendents the T o h n e tphreosppreieetdoyrsanodf thsaefesziunt is the are indeed placed in the vanguard. They will have ..k. to sustain the first brunt of the encounter, and on the manner in which they meet the difficulty, the extent and efficiency of their preparation, their own safety must depend. By the new Poor-law for Ireland the great princh , de is recognised that the property of the country must sustain it, poverty; that the necessities of all must be. provided for, before any portion can he made applicable to the luxuries or the superfluities of the few. They must see, then, that the means of use ful and profitable employment is placed within the reach of all, so that those who would otherwise un productively consume the national resources may be enabled to earn their own livelihood by the exercise of their own honest industry. Throughout almost the entire kingdom the potato has hitherto formed the chief, if not the only, article of food for the agri cultural population, and the cerial products of the land have been chiefly devoted to the payment of the landlords' rent. This cannot now be the case to any thing like the extent of former years. The greater portion must be applied to the maintenance of the people, and the claim for rent must be provided for from other sources. Is there, then, any description of crop easily ac cessible to the farmers and occupiers of land, that will realise all these advantages—that will at the same time afford the small landholders a means of paying their rent, of obtaining a fair money return for their produce, which will open a wide field for the pro fitable occupation of the people, which will retain in Ireland large sums of money annually sent to other lands in exchange for that which might be produced at home, which will, if judiciously and extensively cultivated, lead to the accumulation of national and individual wealth, and bring into the country the capital she so urgently requires—her chief want. If all these objects can be attained by a little care and attention—and we unhesitatingly answer in the affirmative—is it not absolute insanity to neglect so great a blessing, to abstain from seizing the benefits that are actually within their grasp ? With what face can the Irish landlord appeal to the sympathies, or hope for the as sistance, of England, if he will not make some exer tions on his own account, and at least endeavour to support his people in honourable The general culture of flax throughout all parts of Ireland—the zealous and efficient attention by which that valuable crop can be brought to the utmost perfection, by which not only the fibre but the seed may be preserved, and every portion made applicable to the beneficial uses of which it is capable, will furnish the solution of the enigma—will be found the real cure for Ireland's distresses. The tourist throughout the country is struck with the extraordinary differences visible in the appearance of the inhabitants. In the southern, eastern, western, and even parts of the northern districts, he sees around him on every side a half starved people, exhibiting all the indications of the most squalid poverty—their wretched huts scarcely fit habitations for the swine that are admitted to a participation in the shelter—their clothing a mass of filthy rags, insufficient to ward off the inclemency of the weather, or to preserve even the decencies of life, while their attenuated and worn aspects evince a total absence of all the comforts and an insufficiency of even the necessaries of existence; with this he also perceives a listless languor, a lounging laziness, a general indolence that seems to pervade the very at mosphere. If he inquires into the state of the country, he is informed of riots and bloodshed, of agrarian outrages and nocturnal disturbances. While proceeding on his journey let him enter into Armagh or Downshire, and he is indeed astonished at the change. He finds a cheerful and contented peasantry, well-fed and well•clad, clean and well-ventilated cottages, with every fitting office, and all the conveniences of domestic life, every person employed, and even the children, contributing by their exertions to the general fund. It is almost unnecessary to say that peace and tranquillity will invariably be found in these happy localities. To what magical influences are these blessings to he ascribed ? He is in the seat of the linen manufacture, the district in which the growth of flax is diligently and sedulously attended to ; there is no other apparent cause by which the great and extraordinary difference can be ac counted for. He may, therefore, fairly presume that it is ascribable thereto, and if by a separate calcula tion he can show that the cultivation of flax would lead to such results, that fair presumption will be changed into a moral certainty. We hope on a future occasion to show that such is the case, to point out the many advantages flowing therefrom, the reasons why it should be brought into unly wrsal use, and that, as we have already stated, it furnishes most obvious means for the speedy removal of Irish distress, and of Irish difficulties. The jifoniteur Grec of the 30th ult. has been re ceived. It expresses very forcibly the dissatisfaction of the Athenian Cabinet with the discussion in the House cf Commons, which was elicited by the motion of Lord JOAN MANNERS. The Union Monarchique asserts that the French Government has received dispatches announcing that the Porte had accepted the prcffered mediation of the Vienna Cabinet, for the reconciliation of the rulers of the Ottoman empire and the Hellenic kingdom. Madrid papers of the 7th have arrived. Monsignor BRUNELLI is described as being still actively engaged in endeavouring to reconcile the QUEEN and her ill-matched husband. Fire and snow we fear are more capable of union. Both the Faro and Heraldo contain accounts of the capture of the forces and property of the Junta. Otherwise than in the expression of joy at the honourable reception of General NARVAEZ at the French Court, and his friendly intercourse with the young Duke and Duchess of MONTEENSIER, the papers are barren of intelligence.

The Paris journals of Friday and Saturday have reached us with their usual punctuality. From the latest rumours in the capital it would seem that there is little probability of a very protracted existence for the Ministry. GUIZOT'S authority is slipping through his fingers—like the handful of sand, the tighter he grasps it the more quickly and the more glibly it runs out from the pressure. The hack of the Admi nistration was nearly broken by the division in the Chamber of Peers upon the Medical Reform Bill. So desperately was the Cabinet driven by this division that, according to the Opposition newspapers, the whippers-in of the Chambers went even, as it were, to the bedchambers of decrepid nobles, and had their enfeebled and paralysed bodies conveyed to the benches of the Legislative Chambers by their at tendants. Notwithstanding which extraordinary precaution the Ministerial majority was miserably small. The various journals are busily occupied in the discussion of the probable consequence of this very visible decadence of power. The future is indeed to them a mirror in which they already see the reflected downfal of the once powerful but now powerless G IJIZOT. The Presse contains the following article on the present state of the corn markets : " We announced a few days sinco that a slight change of temperature would be sufficient to raise the price of corn. Already, unfortunately, our anticipations have been realised in Belgium. The last markets of Courtrai, Grammont, Liege, Louvain, and Termonde, experienced a rise of from 2f. to 3f. the hectolitre. One week of cold wind has raised exaggerated fears in the minds of the consumers, and the speculators have taken advantage of it. It is, moreover, easy to excite a panic when a con siderable deficiency of provisions is supposed to exist. In England, notwithstanding the continuance of fine weather, a considerable rise in the price of wheat has taken place. In Holland prices are looking down. An inspection of the crops has taken place by order of the Agricultural Congress assembled at the Hague, and the appearances throughout the provinces are extremely fa vourable. The growing wheat has assumed the best aspect—the rye promises such a crop as has not been seen for many years—the potatoes are flourishing, and no symptom of disease has yet been discovered. It does not appear that the temperature has producd any bad effect in France. The corn markets continue to decline throughout the kingdom. In the East particularly, the fall in prices is remarkable. Within the last ten days wheat has fallen from 9f. to 12f. the hectolitre at Metz, and more than 20f. at Strasburg." _ . The Journal des Dgbats publishes the following letter from Palma of the 3d instant : " The squadron of evolution commanded by the Prince de Joinville has made a short appearance in our roads, ar.d the few hours it remained were devoted to a simple and affecting ceremony. The Prince had heard last year that the small island of Cabrera, which had b , .en the prison and tomb of the French ,oldiers taken prisoners by the Spaniards at. Bevies', was strewed with the bones of those unit), tunate men, deprived of sepul ture. 1-b wos not able at thc, time to ascertain the tact, hating been apprised of it just as he was putting to sea. Yesterday, however, the Prince had scarcely reached the roads of Paltna, when ho dispatched the steam corvette Pluton to inquir, if !he information he had received was correct, and, en the return of the v,s sel, he issued the following order of the day The Corn - mander-in- Chief has been informed that on several points of the island of Cabrera human bones are seen lying unburied—the sad relics of our unhappy country men taken prisoners at Baylen, and who died of misery on that rock. The Pluton repaired, by my orders, to the island, and then the officers and crew, guided by a Spaniard who had witnessed the lingering agony of our soldiers, collected a large quantity of bones scattered over the soil and exposed to every insult. To-morrow the Pluton will return to Cabrera with the Abbe Coque reau, to give Christian burial to those remains. The admiral proposes to place a stone over them, with this inscription:—`To the memory of the Frenchmen who died at Cabrera—the squadron of evolution of 1847.' (Signed) The Vice Admiral Commander-in -Chief, Fer dinand d'Orleans.' " In consequence of that order, the Pluton returned this morning to the island of Cabrera, and the com mander of the ship landed with the ALAI, Coquereau, chaplain of the squadron, to accomplish the religious mis sion confided to them. No pomp, no military show was displayed to give to that funeral ceremony useless eclat. The Pluton had her colours half mast high during divine service and the prayers for the dead. Nothing could be more affecting than to see the fifteen or twenty farmers who constitute the entire population of that 'desolate island kneeling by the side of our seamen, and joining in their pious supplications. Mass having been said, and the re mains of our unhappy soldiers covered with earth, a wooden cross was placed over the grave to indicate the spot where the monument is to be , rected. The officers and men would not leave to the generosity of the Prince the honour of defraying alone the costs of that modest sepulture. A subscription, in which all participated, Produced 2,oooE—sufficient to pay the expense. The squadron demanded, moreover, that the name of the Prince be introduced into the inscription. This was a just homage rendered to the young admiral, who had conceived the patriotic idea of of offering that pious tribute to the memory of unhappy and forgotten fellow countr Queen MARIA CiamsvriNa had arrived at Toulon on her way to Paris, whera she was expected on Monday. nn Saturday tho official papers relating to Portu gal were laid on the table of the Chamber of Deputies by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The general impression was that Das ANTAS had voluntarily sur rendered himself to the blockading squadron. According to the Journal des Debats the commis sion appointed to examine the charges against General CUBIERES proceeded on Friday, by the in terrogation of M. TESTE, formerly Minister of Public Works, and also of a barrister named CAFUI.

TO THE EDlfoli OF THE SUN. &x,—Permit me w call your attention to the recent decisions at the police office. Bow-street, upon certain cases arising out of the Copyright Act, and upon the injumus effect such decisi, na must have upon the ad vanceinvnt of art and lit, rature. Und , r the old Copy right Act the trustees of the British Museum claimed a copy of all books and maps, and both authors and pub lishers were content to supply them. Under the new Acr, the trustees claim copies of every book, map, or publication which may differ in the slightest degree from the original publication, and, as it wits decided by the magistrate in Mr. Smith's case, every addition to the original publication, if it were only the crossing of a t, or the dotting of an i, entitles the trustees of the British Museum to another copy of the work, and the counsel for the trustees stated it to be their determination to enforce their claim; unfortunately the Act of Parliament allows of no appeal from the magistrate's decision. If such, Sir, be the future conduct of the trustees, it is fraught with oppression to every author and publisher in Great Britain. Upon the publication of maps this decision will act as a bar to future improvement. Maps are printed in very small quantities, and slight altera tions are made upon the plates each time the maps are printed; if the intepretation of the law by the magistrate be a correct one, the trustees of the British Museum will be entitled to 50 or 100 copies of many maps every year; whatever may be the literal reading of the Act of Par liament, such could never have been the intention of its framers. _ _ _ The case decided on Friday, relating to my " Popular Atlas," is a very important one.

RAIL WAYS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six, -Your Parliamentary report of Thursday last contains, in reply to a question by Mr. Gisborne, some remarks by Mr. Strutt and Sir George Clerk, on the evidence which I had given at the inquest, at :Chester, as to the cause of the failure of the Dee bridge. In this morning's report also I find that Sir George Clerk again refers to the matter, with a view, I presume, of showing, that there was no sufficient justification for the statement I had made on the occasion alluded to. Although I am extremely unwilling to occupy your space or the public attention, by referring to what might have been stated by me either at Chester or elsewhere, I feel that on a subject of so much importance it becomes imperative on the not only to offer an explanation, but to remove, as far as I can, the possibility of a misunder standing. As nearly as I can recollect the words which I actu ally used, the following may be considered substantially accurate ;—" That in the public departments—viz., the Admiralty, Board of Trade, or Commissioners of Railways, less consideration was given to the security of the public travelling by railways than was n to the navigation or space of tidal rivers and roads which were crossed or intersected by railways, and I referred to a letter which had been addressed by myself, in conjunction with Messrs. R. Stephenson, Brunel, and Cubitt, to Lord Dalhousie on the subject of bridges, which had not b o en attended to." _ . Although this statement was made at the inquest at Chester, it was distinctly admitted by Mr. Stephenson that the Government department was in no way impli cated in fixing the dimensions of the Dee Bridge, and no attempt was made by any one, as Sir George Clerk supposes, to lay upon them the consequences of that accident. If in the remarks which I thought it necessary to make I had merely intended to complain of the want of courtesy in neglecting to acknowledge the receipt of our communication to Lord Dalhousie, Sir George Clerk's reference to his Lordship's acknowledgment would be conclusive. My statement, however, went further, it complained that the subject-matter of the letter had not been attended to, and that so far as we knew it had never been considered. The letter itself, together with the reply, are below, and I may a dd , that no alteration in the clause has yet been made, nor any explanation given for adhering to That the clause, as Sir George Clerk states, was ori ginally determined upon " after full consideration" I am not disposed to doubt ; but I would venture to add, on the other hand, that there is not a practical engineer in England accustomed to railway works who would have advised the adoption of such a clause. when bri S d i g r es G o e f o 3 r s ge fe C et le s r p k an al ; so states that it is limited to roads are cross e d at right but this Wishoennlythteryue ss the ,li are crossed obliquely (which is by far the most common case), the span is increased sometimes to 60 and 70 feet. It needs no engineer surely to show that a rise of four feet for such a span is not sufficient. I have confined my remarks simply to the matter re ferred to in the House of Commons, not feeling myself called upon to enter into any further discussion. Your insertion of this communication will oblige, Sir, your obedint servant, JOSEPH LOCKE. 11, Adam-street, Adelphi, June 12. Co) London, 11, Adam-s ( tre py et, . Adelphi, May 2, 1846. My Lord,—Having found great difficulty in carrying out, the provisions of clause 49 in the Railway Clauses Consolidation Act, defining the dimension, of bridges for carrying r a il ways over public roads, we have thought it prudent to address your Lordship in regard to it. Although we have often found that the widths required "4 4 , ea d ir e, 'kV? youti.v.a, f j a s fi . API • -f, r.sr . '‘t •• .1 " • Inttrniag LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1847. WILLIAM CAXTON—a name of most glorious and humanising import—a memory as eternal as the mother-tongue which his genius has rendered the most universal language on the globe—a household word among the children of both hemispheres, whose common mother is his native England—WlLLlAM CAxToN, the first printer in these islands, is to be commemorated by the erection of a monument ; and that monument is at once to be a memento of the great labours of WILLIAM CAXTON, and is in an especial manner to attest the gratitude of the million to the art which that memorable philanthropist was the first to introduce to the knowledge of our ancestors. On the original announcement of such an intention we expressed briefly, but as emphatically as we could, our exultation at the proposed move ment. On Saturday an actual step was taken for the commencement of this most national testimonial, a numerous meeting having been convened during the afternoon of that day in the Great Room of the Society of Arts, John-street, Adelphi, with many distinguished men upon the platform, and the noble and accomplished First Corn missioner of her 11A.ansre's Woods and Forests as chairman. Nothing could have tended more to con firm the million in a determination to testify in some brilliant way their appreciation of the wonderful good entailed upon posterity by WILLIAM CAXTON than the impassioned and eloquent utterances of Lord Moarim, and of the American Minister Mr. BAN CROFT. In the expressions enunciated by both those graceful and earnest orators there was the glow of benevolence, the colouring of rhetoric, and the fervour of a sympathising and poetical tempera ment. We are gratified that upon an occasion in augurative of a demonstration so noble and beautiful as the one which is now being made of the world's gratitude to CAXTON, there were present men lik e Lord MORPETH and Mr. BANCROFT, men who, from their official position as well as from their mental en dowments, were peculiarly calculated to impart a graceful and yet a vigorous character to such a movement as the one proposed. In acknowledging our obligation, however, at the very outset to the Rev. 11. MILMAN for having been instrumental in rousing the torpid memories of his countrymen to that eventful morning when a wayfarer knocked at the gate of Westminster Abbey and begged a shelter for the new-born discovery, we must protest against the monopoly of credit in the notion of a monument to Ca.xxosi instituted on behalf of Mr. MILMAN by the supporters of that Reverend Gentleman. Let it not be forgotten that the man who originally started the idea of such a testimonial of honour to the name and fame of WILLIAM CAXTON was CHARLES KNIGHT. If the' Rev. H. MILMAN were to maintain a precedence on the part of his proposition, we should at once impeach him of plagiarism ; but it cannot for an instant be imagined that the Rev. Gentleman has, in defiance of dates and printed sentences, any intention of monopolizing the credit of the suggestion, or of filching from not the least distinguished of the spi ritual sons of CAXTON—CHARLES KNIGHT—the ho. nour of propout.ding the propriety of some public token of our admiration to the most venerable, and perhaps, the most indefatigable of our native printers, Born in the fertile wealds of Kent, bred among the " broad and rude English of his day," WIL LIAM CAITON imbibed, as Lord MORPETH beautifully observed, " much of the racy and hearty spirit of the soil." A rude, nervous, industrious, enlightened, generous-hearted Englishman was this 'WILLIAM CAXTON, to whose exertions, to whose individual exer tions are traceable all the countless and inestimable 1 blessings which have streamed in a copious, 1 and fructifying, and inexhaustible current I from the printing-press. As was appro priately observed on Saturday, the glorious song of CHAITCER was given to the wide world I first by that press of CAITON, which he constructed and worked under the sheltering roof of Westminster Abbey—to that press is owing the verse of CHAUCER and of LIDGATE—to the example afforded by that Press are attributable the extension and diffusion, amongst the populous nations of the earth, of the works of our immortal ancestors, of our poets, of our philosophers, of our moralists, of our biographers, of our ethical scholars, and of oratorical and didactic writers. Through the medium of WIL LIAM CAXTON, as it were, our most illustrious and wonderful countrymen, our Shaksperes, our Miltons, our Bacons, our Lockes, our Boyles, our Spen cers, our Newtcns, our Raleighs, have shone forth with a perpetual and undiminishable glory, scattering the ignorance of centuries by their wisdom, breathing through the discords of vulgar life the melodies of their matchless numbers, or speaking sensibly to the hearts of generations in the diction of demigods and with the truthfulness of oracles. Never was national benefactor so entitled to the reverence of his posterity as WILLIAM CAXTON is to ours. Not for us, therefore, shall it be to evi dence our admiration for his greatness by the erection of some abortive squirt or attenuated lamp post. A monument let there be to WILLIAM C AXTON—and one especially at the western front of Westminster Abbey, " that spot where the sun as he descends in the evening casts his last look on the most venerable building in our island ;" but let us not, in the name of common decency, erect to his memory a paltry syringe like the fountains near the unfinished Nelson Column, or a bungling gas light like that which smoked the windows and peri odically cracked the panes of glass at the extremity of Charing-cross. A colossal statue, modelled by THORWALDSEN, now attests in Mayence the love of the fatherland for the fame of GUTTENBURG. Let the ruddy light of the sunset, as it envelopes the ancient fane of Westminster with the glories of each de• parting day, shine, too, on some colossal statue or symbolic structure erected before the portals of the evening to the memory of WILLIAM CAXTON. Let the shadow of the votive granite fall upon the walls and mingle with the glooms of the old Abbey, in whose cloisters toiled, in the days bygone, the first and greatest of our English printers. Not for him a fountain or a gas-pipe, but a memento worthy in some measure of his immortality.

We have already found, in many instances, that it is impossible to comply with the requirements of the clause in question without resorting to iron girders, and in those parts of the country abounding in stone and brick (where iron can only be oAained at a considerable distance), this obligation is attended with great increased cost and inconvenience. We shall be happy to give any further explanation which your Lordship may require on this matter. We hive the honour to be, my Lord, Your Lordship's most obedient servants, (Signed) JOSEPH LOCKE.

Gentlemen,—With reference to your letter of the 30,h oh., to Lord Dalhousie, drawing his Lordship's attention to the difficulty of carrying out the provision of the clause No. 49 of the Railway Clauses Consolida tion Act, in regard to the dimensions of bridges for carrying railways over public roads, I am directed by his Lordship to acquaint you that he will confer with Lord Shattesbury and others in respect to the practica bility of making the alterations which you propose.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was very firm, with a bare supply. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were for export, and 1,000 on speculation. Railway Shares improved again, and a large business was done in Midland and North Western. It was known on 'Change on Saturday afternoon, that a firm very long connected with the Russia trade mad been placed in difficulties, and there were hopes of an adjustment, bnt they were fruitless. The firm has, for nearly a quarter of a century, been esteemed for the most honourable course of dealings, and with much regret must we state that Messrs. Cattley and Stevenson's are among the list of those who, after a long course of extensive mercantile operations are compelled to yield to the pressure of circumstances. There is not one of this firm's extensive connexions who does not regret the misfortune. Purposely we refrain from making public any of the reports alleged to have brought the house into difficulties. The accounts received by the Britannia steamer, from Halifax and Boston this morning, are of a most pleasing character. " Craps luxuriant," states an authority, " money plentiful, state stocks looking up, and trade im proving," are, indeed, facts to gladden the hearts of our merchants, and to fill with dismay those who, for high gains, would keep back grain from the millions, so that they may realise large fortunes by speculations. The mercantile markets are likely to become more active should the price of grain, &c., be reduced, and there will also, it may be anticipated, be a brisker demand for manu facturers. The advices from Manchester leave room for im provement, the speculation in cotton having an unfavourable influence. Owing to the decline in the value of grain in Mark-lane this morning, the Funds rose about 1 4 per Cent., and the market is fluctuating between 87% and 88 1 4 for Consols. The Scrip has improved to % discount. New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. are 89 1 4 to 89%. Bank Stock is worth 196 1 / 2 . Exchequer-bills have been ss. to 9s. premium, being also a further advance. The small bills have bee n done at Ils. to 14s. premium. No doubt money is becomg very easy. The Foreign Securities have likewise a better tone. Per tuguese Four per Cents, have advanced to 324 and 33. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 22 1 4, and the Three per Cents. 344 to N. The accounts from Madrid still afford a faint hope that the Government may attempt something for the bondholders. Mexican Stock has been rather firmer, viz., 204 to 20 Russian Bonds are 110 to 110 1 / 2 . The Railway Shares have been rather quiet, but holders are not inclined to do business except at higher rates.

CAR LISLE, SATURDAY MORNING.—The greatest excitement prevails in this city, consequent on the discovery of a mur der committed under somewhat revolting circumstances, the unhappy victim being sacrificed by means of arsenic being mixed in her food. The particulars are thus de scribed :—On the 29th of last month Mrs. Mary Thompson, the wife of a millwright and engineer in Union -street, Bot chergate, died after several days' intense suffering. Her death being attended with some suspicion, notice was sent to the coroner, who summoned a jury, and on their meeting the inquiry was adjourned to enable Dr. Elliott and Mr. Mor timer, surgeons. to make a chemical analysis of the contents of the unfortunate woman's stomach. Dr. Elliott and Mr. Mortimer, surgeons, deposed to having detected fifty - on e grains of arsenic in the stomach of the deceased, which was the cause of death. They also analysed a white powder found by the police in the deceased's husband's pocket, It was arsenic. The husband is in custody. They likewise found arsenic mixed in oatmeal in the house. Several wit nesses spoke of having heard the deceased complain n of the w _ t _ conduct of the prisoner in consequen ce of his cohabiting another woman. The inquest was adjourned. The accounts from the wheat markets of the French departments mention the continuance of a decline, the average fall by the latest z e p orts being from 2f. to sf. per hectolitre.

SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S POLAR EXPEDITION. We understand that Dr. King, the medical officer, and for a considerable period the commanding officer, of the overland expedition in search of Sir John Ross, in 1833 4-5, has addressed a letter to Earl Grey, as the principal Secretary of State for the Colonies, volunteer ing his services in search of Sir John Franklin, who sailed, in the spring of 1845, in search of a north-west passage, and has not since been heard of. The plan proposed by Sir John Richardson, and accepted by the Adm ratty, does not meet with his approbation, and he has therefore sought of Earl Grey an appointment in search of Sir John Franklin, under the board of which his Lordship is the head—the board under which 1)r. King acted in search of Sir John Ross. Dr. King main tains that to save Sir Jelin Franklin's party, comprising 126 men, it would be futile to attempt to convey pro vision overland to him; and he adduces, in support of his opinion that the expedition upon which he waa en gaged for the relief of Sir John Ross failed in their at tempt from the poverty of the country over which they travelled, although in that case it was only contem plated to relieve 23 men. Over that same provisionless country an overland party in search of Sir John Franklin must necessarily pass. Dr. King proposes to the Government to send out one or more vessels laden with provisions next spring to the western land of North Somerset, where he maintains, for several reasons, Sir John Franklin will be found ; and at the same time to call upon the Hudson's Bay Fur Company to store up provisions in their trading houses on the Great Slave Lake and the Mackenzie River. He then proposes, in company with any °Meer the Government may appoint, to be the messenger of such news to Sir John Franklin, and at the same time to take with him Indian guides fur the conveyance of that veteran officer and his party, either to the provision stores on the Mackenzie River or the Great Slave Lake, or to the provision vessels, as may appear most desirable. He maintains that he is th e only person who has all the requisites for such a journey _-youth, health, great physical strength, and an intim ate acquaintance with the country and the Indians. He has placed a heavy responsibility en Earl Grey, for he does not hesitate to state that it is the only plan which ca n afford that relief to Sir J. Franklin which he has a right to expect frceo the Government. Sir John Franklin, he asserts, should not have sailed in the face of the facts he laid before the late Government , for, to use his own word it ' w a s alo.g.:ther " impractic a bl e , a , the expe dition orl s, would have to take the ice Is the through an ice . bloeked sea is termed—in meetT rtainitiulytt(v4'irluitsihghtitnno: rane e of the extent of its labours, a better prospect before it the-in that which befel Sir J.

This having now in some measure been accomplished, the directors think the time has arrived when the auaount of such l oss es should be stated. " 6. With these preliminary observations, the direc tors proceed to give the following statement:— " 7.

The above statement shows the estimated " n d 0 t of loss, according to the opinion of the sunerinteu i e be and managers, the entire accuracy of which can e n Y ro . finally ascertained when the various and extensive P perties, held by the Bank, in security or satisfactiont to of debts, are realised. The directors consider the g o re f a t n h e i l ; care and caution in the gradual accomplishment object as most essential, being, in their opinion , tb°, ° , l ,. means of preventing further losses upon some 0 1 old accounts, of which they cannot but feel app H a rt "9. The numerous and diversified duties of Mr. the superintendent, in the general control of the busin.etl: and in the management of the several properties hel d in the Bank, notwithstanding hi: acknowledged zeal , L e dustry, and talents, render it impossible for him to that minute and constant attention to these Yuri Of matters which their nature and magnitude dertnat l'l: Under this conviction, the directors came to the esel. ton of sending a person to the colonies, to aid and con eel Mr. Hart in the performance of those duties; a n alit was with much satisfaction that they found aLa late colleague, Mr. Atherton, willing to undertake tol% portant a mission, from which they anticipate the we% ea t beneficial results; and they await his report witu 5 r 0 . interest. Mr. Atherton's duty will be to advise an c operate with Mr. Hart, but without executive p ower. " 10. The directors are convinced, from th eir exrd i rience of Mr. Atherton's talents and genera l habits c ' d business, his intimate acquaintance with the affairs en position of the Bank, as well as his legal knowleclC “ and his perfect agreement with them, as to the cour'"er to be pursued, that they could not have select ed a fi person for the office. t b e it given in tb• pr obtaining to oceed t 4 ce les report,se l ad . rlywnidtahoctchetuoehmredde appeal directors c e etafo w rlro i sam t the g hasi lo s tny s Sydney, nnassurancesotehye, time in B to an and they have now to inform the proprietors, tbatAt enable t u h s e t: ll l; cause has been set down for hearin before the J*- cial Committee of the Privy Council. g " 12.
