HARTLE r. AIERY. nof the guardians of a young m a n_ six_ /I( system, inasm uc h as t h e rent o f t h e l an d wou ld b e This was the petitio raised if tithe should cease to be levied. A prodi gious discovery it is, and worth its weight in —mud, that if the land pays less in one way, it will, ccrtcris paribus, pay more in another It happens not to have been two months ago that we declared a dis tinct arid strong opinion in favour of a land tar, to be collected by the Government, and applied in due proportions to the payment of all classes of clergy, save the Bishops of the Established Church, whose support might be more conveniently drawn from ' other and now existing sources; as also might that of the churchmen immediately connected with the University. As for tithe itself, the thing is doomed. No law, nor policy, nor force, nor persuasion, can avert its overthrow. It is not merely the pecuniary pressure of the tithe system upon the comforts of the poor which rendtrs its continuance impossible. The na'ional feeling is so directly opposed to that particular connivance, and to iis object, that the Catholic peasant would rather, if necessary, pay a rent of tvo shillings than a tithe of one. Brit, as we have said, such an alternative under any rational view ()f the question would be altogether needless. The amount of tithe raised from the people of Ireland has been exacted and defended upon a monstrous fiction,— , riz. that the inhabitants of the whole surface of the island which is subject to that ecclesiastical impost, puy it over to the Pro testant priesthood in return for some benefit re ceived. The people pay in fact as if they all were Protestants ; and if by some miracle they were to become Protestants to-morrow, it is plain that the This was the petition of the guardians of a young man, six teen years of age, who on attaining his majority would become entitled to a fortune of 10,000/., and the object of it was to ob tain a reference to the Master, to point out what course the petitioner should adopt with reference to the infant. The young man had sometime since returned from school, and the guardians were extremely anxious to put him out as an ap_ prentice to some respectable business, but their laudable en deavours had been in every case thwarted, in consequence of the perverse conduct pursued by the young man, who had conducted himself most improperly, having run awy from the house where he resided under the care of his guardians, and gone to live with a person in Canonbury-lane, from whom the guar dians could not prevail upon him to return. At one period he had been prevailed upon to consent to be bound apprentice to a Mr. Powell, a respectable appraiser and cabinet-maker, in Blackman_ Street, in the Borough, from whom he immediately ran away, declaring he would not be bound apprentice to any person, and expressed a great personal aversion to the guardians in conse quence of their endeavours to keep him out of mischief. The young man, on being brought before the Master yesterday, ma nifested a desire to be bound apprentice to a carcase-butcher, a friend of the person with whom he had been residing in Canon bury-lane, and declared his determination not to consent to be bound apprentice to any body else. The MASTER of the ROLLS inquired what the fortune of the young man would be, and, upon being informed it would exceed 10,0001. on his coming of age, his Honour ob served, that it was improper that a young man with such expec titions should be apprenticed even to a cabinet-maker. Mr. WAKEFIELD observed, that the guardians were anx ious to do all they could for this young man, but the course he had adopted compelled them to come to the Court for directions as to the course they ought to pursue. They were anxious to resign the guardianship, on account of the personal aversion the young man had to them. established clergy must be satisfied with the same amount of the tithe revenue, although the labour of their parochial and other duties would be greater than they now are, in proportion as their flock. would he multiplied—that is, the said duties would be augmented at least fivefold. But as it seems that the Church, any more than the State, is no longer to be governed by fictions, and that the sinecure nature of at least four-fifths of the Irish The MASTER of the ROLLS observed if the young man had that personal aversion to the guardians which had been stated, a reference to the Master, to appoint a person to have the management of him, would be of service. The COURT then referred it to the Master, to inquire what course it would be convenient to adopt with respect to the infant, and whether, with a view to the adoption of that course, other persons should be appointed to have the care of him.

Mr. CAPRON stated this was an action brought by Robert Neale, against Thomas New Halifax, and the declaration stated that the defendant had uttered certain defamatory words, im. puting to the plaintiff that he had committed the crime of perjury. —The defendant pleaded a justification. Sir J. SC ARLETT stated that the plaintiff was by profession an attorney, at Midhurst, in Sussex, a gentleman of great re. spectability, and held in high estimation in his neigh bourhood, whose character had been attacked in the most unprovoked manner by the defendant, who must have la toured under some gross delusion, when he imputed to him the crime of perjury, on several occasions repeat. ing that charge. He (Sir James Scarlett) waa fully pre pared to go into the case, but he understood that his Learned Friend on the opposite side dished to say ;ornething, and he would wait until he heard what that was before he pro. ceeded further. Mr. TALFOURD said he had a very strong feeling upon this subject; he trusted, and indeed be knew, thet bl• Oen': would adopt his advice, and, aPttineo. b proper feeling, consent to satisfy Oe fCelN's under which Mr. Weale laboured, who had certainly no other object in view than vindicating his honour and character from aspersion.

The Learned COunsel added, that he had known the defendant, who was a gentleman of great respectability, for many years, they having been formerly pupils together under Mr. Chitty.

Martin French, a half,pay tifficer, against the printer and ptiblisher of the Globe evening Paper, for an alleged libel, contained in a paragraph which was published in that Paper on the evening of the 2d day of April, 131. Mr. C. PHILLIPS stated the plaintiff's case, and said the plaintiff' was an officer on half-pay, and the Master of the Cere monies at Margate; and this action was brought against the printer Of the Globe for publishing a paragraph stating that a true bill had been found against him for sending threatening let ters to Mr. Trotter and Mr. Sinclair, the proprietors of the Tivoli gardens at Margate. Mr. Tumour produced a copy o f the Globe of the 2d of April. The publication having been proved, and the libel read, Mr. PLATT, fbr the defence, said every apology had been made by the defendant directly the error was discovered, and added that this action was only brought by the attorney for costs, for he had brought seven actions against other Papers, and against the Times had only recovered 40s. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, AO/. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, FEB. 9. WILLIS v. BARNARD. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover com pensation in damages from the defendent for criminal con •ersation with his wife. Mr, Serjeant WILDE stated the case. Mr. Walpole Willis, the plaintiff, a gentleman at the Chancery bar, was engaged in the conduct of a suit in Chancery for the Earl of Strathmore. The necessity of constant professional intercourse led to habits of intimacy with the family, which finally ended in a closer connection, and he was married on the Sth of August, 1824, with the consent of the friends on both sides, to Lady Mary Bowes, a young and accomplished girl, 22 years of age, a daughter of the Noble Earl. After living for three years after the marriage at Hendon, with Mrs. Willis, the plaintiff's mother, they quitted England for Canada, Mr. Willis having been appointed to a judicial situation at New York. Soon after their arrival, however, an unpleasant difference arose between the Governor, Sir Peregrine Maitland, and the plaintiff, rela- tive to some circumstances connected with the Court, and Mr. Willis deemed it necessary to return to England, in order to lay his case before the Privy Council, intend. ing to return when the difference was settled. He ac. cordingly set sail for England in 1828, leaving Lady Mary and his sister, Miss Willis, at New York. It was, however, consi dered better that Mr. Willis should not resume his judicial functions in America, and he wrote to Lady Mary, directing her to come to England. She immediately started for Mon treal, and there she became first acquainted with Capt. Barnard, the defendant, an officer in the tiBth Light Infantry. Upon arriving at Montreal she stayed a day or two at the hotel, and then took lodgings at Dr. Lisle's boarding-house, where the de fendant also was, and occupied a bed-room adjoining his. They were on very intimate terms, though not a suspicion was excited that an improper connection had taken place between them ; but on the arrival of Miss Willis from New York, where she had remained to dispose of some property, Captain Barnard gave up his room to her, and removed from the house. Very shortly after Lady Mary eloped with the defendant, and they were not heard of until they were traced to lodgings in West minster, where they were living as man and wife. Mr. Willis had since gone out as Chief Justice to Demerara, and he brought the present action to recover some consolation, if not compensation, as the verdict of the Jury would show the opi nion they entertained of the conduct of the defendant, and of the loss he ;the plaintiff) had sustained. The Rev. Mr. Willis, examined by Mr. WIGHTMAN—I am a clergyman at Bath, and am brother to the plaintiff, whom I married on the Bth of August, 19'24, at Marylebone Church, to Lady Isabel Mary Bowes, daughter of the Earl of Strathmore. My brother at that time was thirty-two years of age. Lady Mary was twenty-two on that day. After the marriage my brother and Lady Mary lived with my mother at Hendon, until 1827, when they sailed for Canada. During the three years they resided at Hendon the most complete affec tion seemed to subsist between them. There was some little estrangement between Lord Strathmore's family and the Willis's, in consequence of a law-suit respecting Lady Mary's property. John Galt, Esq., exam' sal by Mr. WIGHTM AN— I resided at New York when Mr. Willis and Lady Mary came out. I was very intimate, and saw them every other day. When I was first introduced there appeared to be a great discomfort in the family, from some circumstances connected with his judicial situation. Mr. Willis's attention to his wife was very great, and her affection reciprocal. Mary Mays--I lived as servant with Lady Mary at Little York, the day previous to her commencing travelling. On the 16th of May, 1829, we set out in a steam.vessel. I know Captain Barnard. lie was a Lieutenant in the army. When we got to Montreal we went to an hotel, where we remained from the Friday till Sunday. Mr. Barnard called on the Satur_ day morning, and saw Lady Mary in the drawing-room. After leaving the hotel we went to a boarding-house, and remained there three months. Captain Barnard came shortly after, and was very much in Lady Mary's company. He used to come every day about eleven, and stay till dinner-time. Lady Mary's bed-room and Captain Barnard's were close adjoining. When Miss Willis arrived she took Captain Barnard's room. I re member one Sunday evening Lady Mary coming into my bed room. On the 11th of August, a little after eleven at night, I was in bed and asleep; when I awoke I saw her at the window_ I fancied that she was speaking in a low voice to somebody. She only remained a minute or two after she found that I was awake. When she quitted the room I looked out of the win. dow, and heard a voice, which I think was Captain Barnard's. He said, " make haste," and repeated it. In a minute or two after I saw Lady Mary. She asked me if I was asleep. I re plied, " No," and she went away, telling me to call her in the morning. 'When she left me she went, as I fancied, into her own room, but I looked out of the window, and saw her going up the street in company with Captain Barnard, who was the person I had heard speak under the window. I got up and went to see how she had got out. She had left her child in her own 1 room. I then immediately went and endeavoured to awaken Miss Willis, but could not ; but in the morning I told her of every thing that had occurred. Mrs. Anne Ballard deposed—l was formerly in the service of Mrs. Lyon, a cousin of Lady Mary, whom I had known for some years previously to her leaving England. In September, IBZ, Lady Mary Willis and Captain Barnard came to my house in Wyndham-street, New.road. Lady Mary applied for lodg ings. She appeared in great trouble. She agreed to take my lodgings, and came the same evening. Captain Barnard came the next day, and stayed some time with Lady Mary. I after wards refused his corning, because knowing that Lady Mary Was married, I thought it was not right. On one occasion I had some conversation with him, and begged him not to come. He made a great many complaints about my being so particular, and still continued his visits. I was once obliged to send my little boy to get a police•aan to turn him out. After remaining nine weeks at my house, she and Captain Barnard went away in a coach, and desired the coachman to drive to James-street. I heard Lady Mary ask for her letters, as she had destroyed his. He replied—" Certainly not, I shall keep them." Miss Anne Murray—l reside with my mother at 59, Great Stafford-place, Pimlico. My mother let part of the house as lodgings in 18x9. In December, 1829, a gentleman called to see our apartments, arid gave his card Captain Barnard. He stated that he wanted them for himself and wife. They had just come from abroad. He finally took them, and said that he had been lodging in James-street. They remained about three months, and during that time lived as man and wife. The lady appeared in bad health and very had spirits. I have since been to Dieppe, and seen Lady Mary, and recognised her as the lady who lodged at my house as the wife of Captain Barnard. The examination of Miss Willis, the sister of the plaintiff', was then read. It went to prove the marria ge, an d i n cross examination she stated that Lady Mary frequently complained LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. FEBRUARY 10, 1832. Another long-winded discussion took place list night in the House of Commons, on the eternal subject of Portugal. Mr. COURTENAY brought for ward the question in a speech every line of which was redolent of laudanum. He was well answered by Sir J. MACKINTOSH, and still more convincingly, because from his position he was better able to grapple with the facts of the case, by Lord PALMER STON, who, in an eloquent and animated speech, remarkable for the minuteness and accuracy of its details, left the factious Opposition not a leg to stand upon. Sir R. PEEL indeed attempted to bolster up the credit of his party ; but it was a very languid effort, as if the speaker's heart were not in it, and was, of course neutralized by Mr. STANLEY, who exhibited his usual energy and acumen. There is no possibility of mistaking the object of Mr. COURTENAY'S motion last night. It was to delay the progress of the Reform Bill, in the hope thereby of exciting murmuring and discontent among the people at the tardy progress of their favourite measure. But the manceuvre is too stale, too shallow, and cannot but be seen through even by the most superficial. Ministers, therefore, have acted wisely in resolving to sit to-morrow; and had they taken this resolution earlier—to which we have all along contended they must resort—they would have displayed still more sagacity. However, bet ter late than never. The Paris Papers of Wednesday, and those dated yesterday, have been received. The official account of the Austrians having entered Bologna, accom panied by Cardinal ALBANt, on the 28th January, was known at Pads. Don PEDRO'S manifesto was well received by the Parisians ; but the expedition was detained at Belleisle by contrary winds. The French Funds improved on Wednesday, on the news from Russia being considered favourable : FRENCH FUND .-PARIS , FEB. 8.-Fiteper cents., 96r. 30c. 25c. 30e. 35c. 50c. 40c. .50c. 45c. 40c. 96f. 35c. 40c. 45c. 50c. 45c 50c. 45c. 50c. 45c.: Four and a Half per Cents, 89f. ; Three per Cents., 65f. 55c. 60c. 70c. 80c.

ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 25.—The journals contain nu merous promotions and favours, but no political news. 4.--There have been no new cases of cho. lera for several days. The following are extracts from thrman Papers : the present conduct of Russia will be best appre ciated by its future act s, We have never placed any faith in her professions : VIES+I4A, Js'. 26.—Since the arrival of the last courier from London our funds have risen , which confirm the gen er cl conjecture that the English Ministry duly appreciates the con siderations Which hare hitherto kept the Cabinet of St. Peters.: burgh from unconditionally assenting to the treaty of London, and that consequently there is no reason to doubt of the con_ tinuance of the discussions of the Conference, and of the good understanding between the great Powers. The satisfactory accounts from Italy have also tended to raise our funds. From Russia the most conflicting accounts are received. Sometimes we hear that the Emperor will give less attention than hitherto to foreign policy, and devote his whole attention to the internal adrhinistration of Russia ; then we are told that the Russian Cabinet thinks itself called upon to co.operate, by all the means in its power, towards the happiness and tranquil. lily of Europe, and that it is eager to oppose a barrier to the per. nicious doctrines of modern liberty, and to do every thing for the security of the Governments. If we may judge from the difficulties which the ratification of the decisions of the London Conference has met with in St: Petersburgh, the second opinion seems to be more correct, as the Emperor, disregarding all sel flsh policy, has taken that interest in a distant country which its critical siolation seemed to ask for. BERLIN, JAN. 29.-The declaration of the Russian Cabinet, with respect to the Belgian question, make indeed fresh nego_ fiations necessary; for the difficulties will not be peremptorily decided by resolutions of the Conference, but removed by actual understanding between all concerned. Meantime the language of Russian diplomacy is, as far as possible, far from threatening war, and the retrograde movement of a great part of the Rus sian troops into the interior of the empire is a positive ground for hopes of peace. We repeat this, because the latest accounts from St. Petersburgh do the same. Besides it must not be for gotten that the Powers have already engagements with King Leopold, which must be attended to ; he did not take the throne of Belgium without their confidence, but, on the contrary, his most urgent motives for accepting it were derived from the in fluence of Foreign Courts. Letters from Alexandria were received at Trieste stating that IBRAHIM PACHA suffered a total defeat in his attempt to carry Sr. Jean d'Acre by storm, on the 9th January. A speedy retreat was the conse quence, since which an amicable arrangement is said to have ensued,—as stated in The Sun of yesterday. It cannot last long; for the SULTAN will not tolerate the existence of the Pacha of EGYPT in his present power of doing mischie whenever opportunity serves. The PACHA, «e apprehend, has played his last card, and played it, like most traitors, badly. The Manifesto of Don PEDRO, who, wind and weather permitting, was to have sailed on the 6•h instant from Belleisle for Terceira, is a document of much spirit as well as of much reason. It is a very succinct and forcible statement of the rights of Donna MARIA, and of the causes which have induced Don PEDRO, as her natural father and guardian, to em bark in the expedition upon which he has risked the fortunes of the Constitutional cause of Portugal. Every one knows the details of the circumstances summed up in the Manifesto. Don ..MiGt7EL's treachery, and the legitimate rights of the young Queen, are notorious throughout Europe. Th. great Powers have been constantly unwilling to re cognize an authority based upon fraud and perjury, and subversive of the principle upon which depend the rights of almost every European Sovereign. Great Britain has hitherto steadily refused her assent to the recognition of a Government existing by usurpa tion, and is, we apprehend, not in any wise likely to sanction, at the eleventh hour, a state of things in Portugal, which is not less discreditable to the constituted, or rather usurped. authorities there, than it is to the common sense of the people of that unfortunate country. The arguments of the repre sentatives of the Tory party on thin occasion are such as they would be sorry to see retorted upon them upon other occasions. Don MIGUEL, says the Morning Post ,is the choice of the Portuguese people. Admitting that he is King de facto, we beg to ask our contemporary, whether LOUIs-PHILIPM: is not likewise de facto King of the French, and by what sort of reasoning the one Sovereign is to be made light of, and the other to be worshipped in the same breath ? We should be glad to hear from Don MIGUEL'S abettors an explicit declaration upon the point how far they do, or do not, recognise the principle of legitimate descent, as giving a right to succession to Crowns. For if Don MIGUEL'S rights are to be placed upon the basis of popular favour, there ajspears to us to be an end to the prin ciple, in virtue whereof the regular order of succes sion to European Thrones has hitherto been re cognized and held sacred. We have not the means of forming a judgment of the probability of the success of the expedition, but we sincerely hope that Providence may prosper a cause which we believe to be founded in justice, as well as to be supported by the fervent hopes of the supporters of liberal principles throughout Eu rope. There are many millions of hearts which beat for the cause of Donna MARIA, and which would have desired nothing better than to risk their lives and fortunes for that cause, if the days of chivalry were not, unhappily, gone for ever. We have already so often recommended the con struction of a railway between London and the great manufacturing districts of the kingdom, that it may ap pear unnecessary to say more. Indeed we have not spaceto-day,if we had the inclination: we shall there fore merely direct attention to an advertisement, setting forth the self-evident advantages of a grand rail-road from London to Birmingham. As a matter of utility, the thing speaks for itself. We trust, however, that the Directors will see the propriety of making a 'railway of four line's, instead of two, as at present proposed. It is impossible that two lines will be sufficient for the grand line of communication with the North, as this must undoubtedly prove. If the Directors persist in having only two lines—the inevitable conse quence must be that another Railway Company will, start to supply the deficiency. But we shall return to the subject shortly.

On one occasion Lady Mary was excessively angry at some order being given to a servant, arid was going to leave the house; and when she put out her arms as a bar to prevent her, Lady Mary bit her. She heatd of a separation being talked about in con. sequence of some quarrel while at Hendon. Lady Mary scarcely ever told the truth, and also misrepresented every thing she stated. Her mother was very fond of her, and Lady Mary frequently expressed regret at having been the cause of dispntcs between her brother and her. Lady to tirert• put it hH tact they rare all couched in terms of the warmest affet4idti. This elOsed the plaihtirs case. , . . . , Mr. Sergeant SPANK. IE s;ubititted to his Loidahip, on the patt of the defendant; that there was not sufficient evidence to prove the identity of Captain Barnard to go to the Jury. There Was very trifling evidence to prove that it was Captain Barnard who eloped with Lady Mary from America, and there wax no proof at all that the gentleman who gave the card of Captain Barnard was the person purported to be. Knowing that there were suspicions against Captain Barnard, it was not unlikely that any gentleman who wished to carry on an intrigue with Lady Mary would personate him. His LORDSHIP; however; thought the questiOn of identity a fad tti bo ahbhaitfcd io the Jury. The Learned SERJEANT then addressed the Jury for the defence. He contended that the identity was not all proved. But, even supposing the identity proved, there was every mitigating circumstance. The plaintiff had not called any respectable people in his Own circle to prove the happy terms on which he lived with his wife, and the ctinseqUent ltiss he had sustained. This was not the Case of a practised seducer, and betrayer of female innocence, who had followed his victim for months, nay years, and had at last caused her to depart from the path of innocence and virtue, who, but for him, might have been a comfort to her husband, and her home, and an ornament to society: Not that he meant to palliate the crime : for had he d son, he Would rather gee him in his cbffin, than engaging in a connection which, however romantic it might seem for the mo. ment, could end in nothing but discomfort and disgrace. Here however, there were used no arts of the seducer ; the very elope. ment proved that the unfortunate transaction had arisen from two yoUng persons being thrown into temptation, which it was Very much to be lamented they had not been able to withstand. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages One Thousand Pounds. 18 PRIC OF THE STOCKR T Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

Sta,--At a time when thousands of our countrymeutO emigrating to the British provinces in America, I deem tt my duty, as an old settler, to point out the misery in ye many instances, endured on the passage out, and long complained of on arrival. In the first place the owner . and captains, regardless of the comfort of their pa s senger crowd their vessels almost to suffocation ; the conseques is, they rarely ever arrive at their destination withoel, having most dreadfully suffered from want of water AA fuel, the latter but of little importance compared to 0 0 1 former. Then again, Mr. Editor, with 300 passengeil : on hoard, and often more, they (unless, by chance, ori l should be amongst th e emigrants) rtetet cat ty a raerlitil man. Now permit me, through your colUmiis, pt!itt;' out to the light Honourable the Secretary for the Coloni an easy remedy, and one which would cause much sasit faction to the settlers in America, having friends who put pose emigrating. In the first place, Mr. Editor, 0 agent from home, of respectability, should be appointer at places the vessels arrive at in New Brunswick (St. John), anti Canada (Quebec and Montreal), very few gl to N ,, V4 Scotia.. The duty of this agent should be tt inspect every vessel with passengers, aseertsin the numbs anti if it exceeds more than allowed according to her ton nage, to prosecute the Captain. The Captain also to halite to a penalty of not less than 100/. if he sai without a surgeon, provided he had on hoard when h sailed fifty passengers. Captain anti mate to make all affidavit previous to the sailing from England, that he basa l board tons of water, being sufficient for passenger! for 60 days. The passage out varies from thirty to fifty; though occasionady, hut very rarely, it reaches s ixty to seventy ; the passage home is usually less, from the preys' lence of the westerly winds. I arn, Mr. Editor, a stronz friend to emigration, but satisti-d every Englishman quits his country with regret his passage, therefore, should he made comfortable. I likewise propose to cover any expence attendant upon the appointment of agents, that every Captail should, on arrival (as passengers are frequently taken 00 b Yard after sailing from port), pay to the agent one dollsl for etch cabin, and half a dollar for each stetrage pas' s nger, which would cover every expence. This moue, to be paid to the Government, and the agen•s to have salary of from 1501. to 2001. per annum. I am sorry VI trespass at this length, but having resided many years i 0 America, I am, I trust, well able to point out a rernedi far what I have asserted, and which is the greatest miser) attendant upon emigration. I remain, yours, &c. A NEW BRUNSWICK SETTLER. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA TTPRSALL'S.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. Extract of a letter from Faenza, Jan. 23 :—" Yesterday 3,50 0 Austrian troops, with 500 horses, arrived. here. The same numb!tf have also entered Lugo, and they are io do the duty of police itt the various villages of Romagna. Cardinal Albani has had dispute with the superior Austrian officers, but he has been obliged to humble to them. Since the massacre of Cesene and Forli the Pontifical troops have not moved, and occupy the same position as before." They write from Brussels that all the accounts from Holland agree in stating that the Dutch are pursuing with great activitl t• , eir warlike preparations, both by sea and land. Eight nest frigates are ordered to be put on the stocks. The speeches of Lord Aberdeen and the Duke of Wellington have given great confidence to the King of Holland. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals this morning of the least consequence, not even a ship letter has come to hand. The e.tafette from Paris has brought the French Funds rattle( higher, 66f. sc. for money; 66f. 20c. for time. All was at that period tranquil in the French capital. The accounts received yesterday from St. Petersburgh of the Russian Guards being ordered to return to that capital, and the King of Prussia order' ng part of the loan to be returned to Roth. schild, are a proof that no continental war is expected. The debate in the House of Commons last night, in which Ministers obtained a large majority, chiefly occupies the attention of the public this morning.

It seems pretty generally to obtain belief in the city, that the question of the Bank charter will conie under the consideration of Parliament in the course of the present session ; and we believe also, that an eager desire exists among all classes of the monied interest that tb►f lay he the case, and a remedy, as they trust, applied to the evils connected with the whole London system 0' banking. All these are more or less to be traced to the exclusive privileges of the Bank charter. By preventing the formation of private banks in or near the metropolis with a greater number of partners than six. some of thost establishments got into weak hands, and the failures whicl , ensued during the panic drove the best portion of the business to the Bank of England. Hence the extent of the private accommodation which the bankers, through their knotv'edge of the parties, were able with safety to them' selve to diffuse among their connexions, has almost who!h stopped, for in the large scale of the Bank tranasctions all such discrimination is out of the questing. Almost all the banking business is now in the hands either of the great coy poration and two or three discount houses on a large scaler who chiefly employ money placed at their disposal bf country connexions. It is a remarkable fact, that Liverpool' Manchester, Bristol, and some others of the chief town! of England, e n j o y a f ar b etter an d more steady system of banking than the metropolis is able to boast of. The banking companies lately formed there are all said to he conducting useful and profitable business, without 14 issues of their notes, confining themselves to the &mils' two of commercial bills and notes of the Bank of England' Duting some late periods when specie was extrema' scarce in London, nothing of the sort occurred in the places above referred to, but the rate of interest was equable and moderate, and in all respects in the state most le vourable to steady commercial operations. London , from its position and other advantages, is fitted to be th e great banking emporium to the whole of Europe. f e cramp and destroy these advantages by a monopoly i c/ favour of one corporation, is an evil to the whole countrf , of the magnitude of which we shall hardly be quite sensibl e until it is removed.— Times.
