Government Annuities, lik ew i se yield ing the sum of 8 1. The " Proprietor" in ques tion, expressed great confidence in our judgment of financial matters, and very naively begged to know, through the medium of our journal, whether he ought not to ho'd on his Bank Stock a little longer in such circumstances, or whether be ought to sell it immediately. If we had con `itiottl our correspondent's letter in any other /fight than that of a piece of simplicity (for plea santry it could not be), we should have answered —that the Bank Stock which he possessed, and of which he wished to dispose, was liable to be influenced by all the fluctuations which affect Government credit, in addition •to those which affect the permanent interests of the Bank establishment itself. It could not, there !ore, be imagined that the situation. of the latter, as a commercial body,—whose man agement might be bad or good, and whose charter might be resisted or renewed—would not have some effect in keeping down the price of its stock below the rate at which other annuities of a less precarious nature might be purchased. Since our correspondent asked the question, Bank stock has fallen, from the causes which we have mentioned, more than 15 per cent. The same " Bank Proprietor" (at least if we may judge by the resemblance of the hand-writing) has sent us another letter in a different tenour, and with a more rational object. He now com plains, that without announcing the fact to the Court, the Bank direction have been in the habit lately of making up part of the large di vidends which they have distributed among their proprietors, out of their reserved fund ; and that, consequently, the liberal advances of each half-year were not a measure of the rate of interest or profit during that period, but of the discretion of the directors, dealing ou a fund over which they had, without consulting the proprietors, no control. The dividends, there fore, were partly interest and partly bonus, and not the fair result of the banking operations of the year. If such be the case, (and we have little reason to doubt it,) never was a great public establishment managed on a more deceptive policy, or with a greater contempt for the just principles of its institution. If, in any concern, a regular rate of interest or profit is continued for series of years, by the directors to the proprietors, and if, after the payment of that rate, a flind is accumulated, the directors are bound to ask what is to he done with this fund, and to allow the proprietors the option of either receiving it as a bonus at one payment, or of spreading it out as an additional interest over a number of years. Since the termination of a war, and th e stoppage of a system of ex penditure, during which the Bank has accumu• lated so much wealth at the public expense, the capital of the establishment has been increased by the addition of 3,000,0001. to its former stock, or, in other words, the Bank pro prietors now receive their dividends on more than fourteen millions and a half, instead of eleven millions and a ball as formerly. Suppose the directors of that period (of 1815 and 1816) had chosen to pursue the same system as has been lately pursued, instead of proposing an addition to the capital of the • Bank, they would have squandered away the surplus in a higher interest. Or suppose, when the interest was 10 per cent. as it has been since the period of which we speak, the direc tors, instead of reducing it to 8 per cent, where n stands at present, had continued the higher rate up to the last half-yearly meeting—their reserved fund, which is intended to answer so many objects of security to the public, and on which the proprietors have so constandy relied, inigl,t have been entirely absorbed in extravagant dividends. Bank stock might thus have amounted to the extraordinary height of 2401. or 2501. liable to a fall, on the disclosure of the trick, to 1501., to the ruin or irreparable loss of all its recent purchasers. We mention these as cases which were formerly only possible, but which the extraordinary conduct of Bank direc tion has of late shown to be practicable, and have in principle actually realized. Such a system of mismanagement can only be pursued behind the veil of the mysterious secrecy in which the con cerns of the Bank and of the public (so far as Bank note circulation is implicated) are in volved. Whatever, therefore, may be the result of the late Parliamentary inquiry into the expe diency of renewing the Bank charter, we are convinced that all mystery respecting Bank affairs is now at an end. Whether the great corporation, which has hitherto exercised so much power over the destinies of this country, is again to be continued in the Government pa tronage for certain considerations, or to be stript of all its exclusive privileges, and left to contend unprotected with new establishments, the Parliament, if it shall be regulated by a charter, or the proprietors, if it shall not, will require an unreserved annual disclosure of its affairs. The Bank of France,—an important institution,—the Bank of the American Union, (doing more commercial business with a capital of 7,000,0001. sterling than the Bank of Eng land,)—the Royal Bank of Scotland, and every other great establishment of the kind with which we are acquainted, lay before their pro prietary, at an annual meeting, the full state of their affairs,—the grounds of their dividends, — the amount of their reserved fund,—the bullion, or deposits, in their hands,—and every other circumstance which has influenced their pros perity or diminished their profits during the year. Why is not the same account required from the Bank of England, which, connected as it is with the Government and the currency of the country, is not only bound to satisfy its own proprietors, but the nation, that its management is sound and its credit secure.— Times. fiction to the scale of truth, and the high prices of Bank Stock would have necessarily receded. But then the reduction in that case would have been gradual, and would have carried with it none of that shock to public credit, and serious 'oss to individuals, which accompanies that race for hasty indiscreet disclosure which is now run 'between the directors themselves and this sot . - disa at Secret Committee.— Morninz Herald. Some of our Ministerial Papers seem to be extremely anxious to prevent any obstacle being thrown iu the way of the designs of the Holy Alliance against the rights and liberties of the iations of Continental Europe. How they can reconcile this with a professed zeal for the pro ; ress of liberal principles and social freedom at 'iome we have yet to learn ; but sure we are, that if the confederated despots succeed in their project of enormous iniquity, to reduce the con inent to a state of military vassalage, England must give her ignominious submission to the qkases which will then regulate the destinies of nations, or she must fight for her power, if not for her existence, without an ally i❑ Europe. Those writers who argue in favour of tamely .übmitting to the insults of Russia and her con oederates, as having the effect of averting war, know little of human nature ; and, if they have read history, have read it in vain. A nation !hat attains the pitch ofgreatness which England once attained in the civilized world excites more of jealousy than love. While she is able to oiaintain her power, or seems able to maintain it, other nations, though they hate her supre macy, will court her alliance, and their fear will produce something like the consequences of affection ; but let it once appear that the foundations of her grandeur have been broken up, or considerably weakened—that not only have her resources declined, but her spirit is *one—that her ancient magnanimity has been so t'ar supplanted by moral cowardice as to induce her to prefer infamous repose to a righteous as setion of her violated rights—and from that moment her peace is rendered insecure, her in dependence precarious, by the encouragement 4. 4 ivett to aggression. So it was in the decline of •he Roman state; every peace purchased at the price of dishonour tempted the enemies of the Queen of Nations to new acts of insult and ag gression, until, stripped of all her power, and despoiled of all her glory, she closed her magni ficent and miserable career by submitting her neck to the foot of the Barbarian. At present France, because of the mean submission of her Government to the dictates of the despots of the " Holy Alliance," holds her independence only on their sufferance, as she will discover as soon as the States of Germany shall have been restored to that state of " order," or gagged and bound servility, which logicians, using the arguments of a million and a half of bayo nets, will prove to be necessary to their political happiness. If England were as isolated in her relations with the Continent as she is in her geographical position, the selfish policy of taking no interest in the political condition of her continental neighbours might be very wise ; but she has a system of commercial in- tercourse to support with the continental na tions, which may be materially affected by their political condition. There may conse quently arise occasions when attacks upon the indepencence of other nations are, in reality, attacks upon the sources of her prosperity, just as much as it would be an attack upon the pros perity of London if a hostile force, encamped at the source of the Thames, could turn the river, on whose bosom the wealth of the world is carried, into a new channel. If' Bonaparte had not met with the dreadful reverses which wasted his veteran legions in the snows of the Russian deserts, he would have been enabled, by the complete subjugation of the Continental States, to ruin the commerce, and thereby sub vert the power, of England, without ever trying the perilous experiment of an invasion. The Continental blockade would have effected what If there is one part of the country in which more than another the Aristocracy are distressed, that part is Scotland. A popular Scotch writer of the present day (Mr. Chalmers) says : __ " Every year the Aristocracy and Squirearchy of the country are irretrievably overwhelmed in debt and poverty. The common landed proprietors of the country are freeing themselves from their embarrassment by sales and mort gages ; the estates in all directions are falling under the guardianship of legal factors and trustees. As it is, the country swarms with poor lairds who are pensioned off on a pittance, and are enabled only to shine as stars of the third magnitude in some petty watering place, while their entailed properties are in the course of nursing, and their family mansions are given up, to be jointly inhabited by families of ' rooks and swallows."' " All untimely question Ruffles the temper and mars the digestion." Mr. Macaulay, although, as his worshipful cor respondent states, he sent his answer by the return of post, transmitted a very long and ela borate answer indeed, which is worthy of public attention on two grounds : first, because it is the work of a very clever man ; and secondly, because it is the work of a very clever man who stands in such a relation with his Ma jesty's Government that it is impossible not to imagine that his acts are done with their sufferance —we should rather say with their sanction. Mr. Macaulay is an advocate for triennial Parliaments —Mr. Macaulay is an advocate for the Ballot — Mr. Macaulay is an advocate for such an alteration in the Corn Laws as will lower the price to the consumer—Mr. Macaulay is an advocate for the extinction of the tithes as well in England as in Ireland—and Mr. Macaulay holds an office under the present Govern men- The Reformers who called the Bill " final" will look grave at his trien nial Parliament ; the Reformers who like the legitimate" influence of property will stare at his Ballot ; the Reformers who kill their own mutton- will be uneasy at his hint upon the Corn Laws ; the Reformers who go to church will want some explanation of his doctrine upon the tithes. But the changes he is willing to support may be beneficial and desirable changes. That is not our present question. Are the principles of Mr. Macaulev the principles of the Ministers under whom he acts ? If they are, why have not the masters published in London what the man has suggested at Leeds ? If they are not, what augury are we to draw from an observation of the point at which this shrewd and worldly man falls off from his old leaders, and of the direction in which he shapes for himself the after course of his political career ? We must not omit to mention that J. Marshall, jun., Esq., of Leeds, has also written a letter, and that his letter is probably just such a letter as ought to be written by J. Marshall, Esq., jun., of Leeds. Morning Post. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-The demand for West India Aluscovadoes last week was steady; the estimated purchases were 3,200 Mids. and trs., and they would have been much more consi derable, but the show of new Sugars was limited, and as many arrivals had taken place, the trade thought they would have a plentiful supply this day, and therefore de ferred their purchases. The stock of West India Sugar is now 30,200 hhds. and trs., which is 18,007 less than last year. The stock of Mauritius is 59,918 bags, being 43,437 less than last year. The delivery cf West India Sugar is 4,135 hhds. and trs. being 774 more than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 2,850 bags, being 4,177 less than the corresponding week of 1831. The estimated sales this day are 900 hbds. and tre. at full market prices ; the Barbadoes went off with much briskness. In the Re fined Market there was a small improvement, on account of the reduced stock ; the prices of low Lumps were 641. and 645. 6d. or 295. 6d. and 30s. on board ; fine goods were also held with more firmness, 31s. 6d. was offered for fine crashed, and 325. for forward delivery. The Re fined Market this afternoon continued firm. 1 Wheat. Barley. I Oats. 1 Beans. Per Quarter. s. to s. s. to s. 8. to s. s. to s. Boston — 6 , 1 25 19 33 —..

We kilf.,w no subject which requires to be handled with so much delicacy and reserve as that of public or private credit. On this occasion, at all events, the Press cannot be accused of having either occasioned, or in the smallest degree con- tributed, to the panic which has seized the holders of a species of security which has hitherto less than any other been affected by the causes it seemed chimerical to atempt by his Bologne flotilla—and our maritime supremacy would have perished, notwithstanding the trophies of the Nile and Trafalgar. But Bonaparte was An intelligent distiller (Mr. Dunlop) ex amined before a Select Committee of the House of Commons, in 1831, on the use of molasses in distilleries, gave the following account of the condition of his district : " He is asked— " Can you state, from your own knowlede, the situation of the owners and occupiers of land, as farmers, throughout the kingdom, and particularly in Scotland ?—I am very sorry to say, they are far from being prosperous ; in the district of Scotland where I live—East Lothian—there was at one time the most independent and respectable te nantry to be found in any country, or perhaps in the world—men who have struggled with misfortunes which no other men but themselves could have met ; and many of them, unfortunately, have fallen, and most of them have been brought into circumstancees of great distress. " Have you ever known the agriculture of Scotland in a worse condition than it is at present ?—I never have; I think one-third of the tenantry of the county of Hadding ton have been changed within the last three or four years, and that capital is now almost out of their hands. " Is it understood that they are paying their rents very generally out of their capital, and not from their annual re turns ?—There is very little doubt that they have been paying their rents, to a very considerable extent, out of their prot,erty ; and I know, besides, that very great de. ductions have been given by the proprietors of the country, who have shown great consideration and kindness to the tenantry in general." The owner of an entailed estate, having only the property of his life-interest in it, is reduced to the greatest difficulties in raising money. It seldom happens that a man succeeds to an en tailed estate who had not before contracted debt ; and on his entrance into possession, he must borrow from the Jews, and insure his life, &c. One difficulty leads to another, and it may truly be said, that by far the greater part of this class of proprietors (who are from one-half to two thirds of Scotland) are living on allowances from their estates, which are under the management of trustees for the benefit of their creditors. All that the law should care for is the security of property to the owner, and enabling him to name a successor or successors. Wherever the law attempts to do more it does mischief. The owner of a small property in England seldom thinks of founding a family. If he have several children, he either sells the estate himself and shares the proceeds among his children, or he conveys it to trustces,who dispose of it for the bene fit of the family. The aristocracy cannot act other wise without adding to their difficulties. The man sion and park must be kept up, while money must be borrowed for the provisions for younger children. It is an understood matter that mortgages on land are never paid ()nut by sales (except in the case of successful marriage speculations), and thus the ACCIDENT AT CAMBERWELL FAIR.- On Monday night a party of young men and women were returning from Camberwell fair in "ally," when another vehicle of the same description ran against it, near Camberwell toll-gate. A young female, with an infant at her breast, and a youth, were thrown out. The child received so many injur i es as to cause its death, and the 1-17Ibng man (who is a copper-plate printer in Leather-lan e , Holborn) bad his arm broken in so dreadful a manner as to render a mputation necessary. There were several acci dents during the night in consequence of the crowded state of the road. EXTRAORDINARY TAKE OF SALMON.- The salmon fisheries generally have been extremely pro ductive this season. At the great fishery at Balina in Ire land, last week, the enormous number of one thousand three hundred and fifly salmon were taken at one haul of -the net, and were it not that part of it broke, it is supposed that no less than two thousand would have been secured. EAST INDIA SUGARS.—The purchases of East India Sugar last week consisted of small parcels of Manila at 225. a 235. 6d., and Siam 225. a 235. 6d. MAURITIUS SUGARS.—The public sale on Friday con sisted of 7,544 bags, the whole sold freely at full prices, 495. a 583. This day's public sale 6,228 bags Mauritius Sugars sold freely at full market rates. FOREIGN SUGARS.—There are no purchases of Foreign Sugars to report; 27 has been offered and refused for good yellow Havannah; some good white and mid. Per nams were offered at public sale, but all withdrawn al:ove our market prices. Average price of sugar, 1/. Bs. Old. per cwt. COFFEE.—There is little alteration to notice in coffee, the British plantation sold heavily at former prices. For the Foreign and East India offers were made at rather lower prices, but they were rejected; 595. was offered for pale St. Domingo, 588. for Batavia ; some Brazil sold at 608., and fine ord. coloury La Guyra at 64e. By public sale this forenoon 500 bags Ceylon Coffee, a part was t 'ken in at 568. 6d. ; the remainder sold at 57, rather lower. RUM, BRANDY", AND HOLLANDS. — By public sale 118 puns runs from St. Thomas, for export only, the strength Ito 4 over, sold at Is. 61. The consumption of brandy continues, and the market is firm, but not so much doing. In Geneva there are no transactions. TALLOW.—The t allow market yesterday becime more brisk, and the prices are rather higher. hist' PROVISIONS.—The clause inserted in the Cus toms' Duty Bill allows all provisions to be bonded here for export or for ships' use on foreign voyages. The market is in consequence in a nominal state, no answer to the .remonstrance of the Irish trade having been received. The import of Foreign Butter in the last week was 3,734 casks, of Irish 9,537 firkins, and of Bacon 891 bales, with a further arrival since of ab nit 10,000 firkins of Lush Butter, and about 1,000 bales Bacon. The Butter Market is excessively flat, and our present quotations must be, in a g rea t d egree , cons id e r e d nominal; fine Friesland. at the quay 84s. a 864., and Leer, Emden , Holstein, &c. 708. a 80s. per cwt. as to quality; Cork and Limerick 78s. on board, 80s. a Ells. landed ; Waterford 765. a '7Bs. on board, 78s. a 80s. landed ; Carlow (as to repute of brands) 78s. a 81s. on board, 80s. a 83s. landed ; Newry is still offering at '741. on board for shipment; Dublin at 765. on board, and Sligo at 765. a 775. on board, without finding pur c h asers . For fine fresh small singed Bacon there is a fair sale, Waterford at 555., and Limerick at 515. per swt.; the general run of the Waterford in the Market cannot be quoted over 525. a 541, "nor of the Limerick over 525. per cwt.

Great crowds continue to visit the spot; and at high water several boats daily approach the post on which the body is suspended. The sight from the road is most appalling.
