My Lords and Gentlemen, R I don't remember, aving addressed you in November ; Rut really l'm compelled to call you early, To settle th s commercial hurly burly. And having done so, my sincere advice is, That you'll at once do something for the crisis. It Pains me much (and that's a plain confession) To Witness such a panic and depression. But never mind—on you I nowrely, And matters may be better by-and-bye. I Must allude, before my lecture closes, • To What I've noticed at the Mart of AIMS. MOSES and SON have struggled to impart A c ounteracting influence at their Mart ; Much has been done to benefit my people, At MOSES' warehouse, facing Aidgate steeple. Cheap dress incalculable good has done ; And who in this can equal MOSES ?—None ! I feel assured that MOSES' moderate prices, Relieve the burdens of the present crisis. And hence, I say, before the session cleses, Propose a vote of thanks to Messrs. MOSES. , LIST OF PRICES. /leaver Taglio .. ni READY MADE. .. ....from £0 9 6 Chesterfield and Codrington's, and every description of Over-teat, handsomely trimmed • • • Ol 8 The Pacha Coat . • • • • • •••• • • " • .th e —•••• ..... .••••••••• Rulliber, especially adapted for snowy and wet Wzathe- * 10 0 0 lb 0 31103'.: Whiter Coat Tho ' s . in ever . 3 . ..st 3 1)0.

Report of Richard Tothill, Esq., of Heavitree, near Exeter, M.R.C.S.L., for 1847. " I have now for twelve years conducted the Exeter Hygelan Dis pensary, wherein the poor of Exeter and its neighbourhood have been treated gratuitously with Mr. Morison's purely Vegetable Medicine of the British College of Heaith, and I am still more confirmed in my opinion (from practical experience, not in one or two cases, but in hundreds), that the llygeian system is founded in truth. The cases which have been cured by that excellent medicine have not been of a common character, being, as I may say, the incurables of the hos pitals at Exeter, it being only after trying all sorts of treatment, that patients have recourse, as a last resort, to the Hygeian medicines. The names of the parties and their addresses are recorded in my book for the inspection of the public. I have treated upwards of 300 poor patients during the past year, and have now about 150 on the Dispensary books, In conclusion, I beg to return my sincere thanks to the subscribers to the Dispensary.

Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, In haying com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. .` " `iira.lVe,ekley - inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume iti a far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any :ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coining away with the comb, make it strong, and wevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may nse this dellettful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing adour removes headache amt makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the heal ; if vary bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. In most eases relief is certain in ten minutes.

We have combated this claim, as it was our duty to do. The King's consul at Monte Video has energetically defended the principle of the neutrality of foreigners. " The French Legion, however, have not laid down their arms, and this unexpected resolution of a part of the foreign residents, has prolonged the resistance of the city. At present that resistance no longer appears on the point of terminating. The state of war is maintained, and with it all the injuries which may result therefrom to the interests of those foreigners who have remained neuter. Commerce is interupted by land and sea ; the city of Monte Video has been in a state of blockade for nearly two years ; and the country is ravaged by the excursions of the two armies. This state of things calls for a prompt ter mination, if we do not wish to allow the consumma tion of the ruin of those French who have remained faithful to their duty, and who urgently entreat our protection in the unfortunate and perilous situation in which the obstinate blindness of a part of their fellow countrymen has so much contributed to plunge them."

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Earl of Dalhousie, the newly-appointed Governor-General of India, ar rived at this port this afternoon, at fifty minutes past twelve o'clock, by express train of the South-Western Railway, to embark in her Majesty's steam-fri ga t e Sidon, 18 gun s , C ap t a i n W . H. Henderson, C. 8., for Alexandria, en route overland to the seat of his government. The distinguished party comprised the Earl and Countess Dalhousie, the Marchioness of Douro, the Right Hon. Fox Maule (Secretary -at-War), Captain O'Brien (formerly of the Board of Trade), Mr. Wat son, Mr. Laurentz Campbell (secretary of the South- Western Railway Company), who also served with Lord Dalhousie in the Board of Trade, &c. The train left Nine-elms at the usual hour, a quarter past ten o'clock, but the feed pipe of the engine having blown out on the journey, the time of its arrival here was prolonged for some minntes. Lord George Lennox, Captain Yates, of the Victory, and Mr. Cochrane, R.N., the Commander-in-Chief's Flag-Lieutenant, received the Governor-General and suite on their arrival at the Gosport station, and ushered them into the Clarence-yard, where Rear. Admiral Superintendent Sherriff, Captain Super intendent Sir W. E. Parry, and Captain Bruce, of her Majesty's ship Trafalgar (who goes out in the Sidon to take the command of that ship), were in waiting to escort them to the Commander-in- Chief's barge, in which having immediately embarked, they were put on board the Lightning steam-tender, which conveyed them out to Spithead, %here the Sidon lay with steam up, and all ready. Captain Henderson received his distinguished charge under a salute of seventeen guns and manned yards, and at three P.M. left the anchorage for Alexandria. [ P B. I CE-54): NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. MALTA, Nov. I.—lt is now as currently reported that the fleet will put to sea on their short winter cruise, as last week it was reported they would not. Thursday is the day now said to be appointed, but so much mystery pervades as to render it impossible for any one to ascertain the important fact. The following promotions have taken place in con sequence of the vacancy occasioned by the decease, of Captain Willes. Commander Robert Tryon, of the Mutine, to be Captain ; Lieutenant John J. Palmer, of the Gladiator steam-frigate, to be Commander ; William Bowden, Acting Mate of the Hibernia, to be Lieutenant; William R. Adair, Acting Mate of the Hibernia, to be Lieutenant, vice Lieutenant Thomas 11. Molyneur, of the Spartan, deceased. One of those bursts of general indignation, which especially on board her Majesty's ships, is seldom dis played, took place last night (Sunday) on board the Superb, 80, Captain Corry. It would appear that on the preceding evening, on going his rounds, the Commander (Wilmot) observed the deck of the ship dirty from the spitting of the men, and as spittoons were plentifully supplied to them, the filth was thought to be made on purpose, and the smoking was ordered to be stopped. On Sunday, as the men were beginning to smoke, they were ordered by an officer to put out their pipes. This was done by many, but immediately a frightful howl sprang up, and in a few minutes was repeated. The next proceeding on the part of the men was to extinguish the lights, and then they commenced breaking the crockery belonging to their messes, and strewing the decks with the fragments. Shots were then rolled about, the gangway ladders removed, and a heavy 601 b. shot was thrown from the main to the lower deck, nearly striking a midshipman on duty. In the meantime the commander and his officers appeared, and were t welcomed with a shower of crockery. Orders were given to the marines to get under arms and clear the decks, and shortly after wards every man was on the quarter-deck. Here the commander ordered the marines (who wore their side arms only) to run any man through who did not obey his orders, and this order was re peated more than once, the commander taking on himself, as he declared, all the responsibilities of the act. In a few minutes the port watch was piped below by the boatswain and his mates, to clear away the rubbish, and shortly after the cooks of messes, to as certain the damage that was done. Many of the watch went to their duty, and several remained sulking on the deck. Reflection came to their aid, and when they, some time after, wanted to return to their duty, they were not allowed. Ultimately, several men were put in irons ; the sentries were doubled ; the side arms, cutlasses, and bayonets, were removed to a place of security, and by ten o'clock all was quiet. Nothing could exceed the coolness of Commander Wilmot during the whole period of the row ; his orders were given clearly and distinctly, and instantly obeyed by his officers; and the effects of discipline (though momentarily set at defiance) were beautifully displayed, when one firm man could send 700 of his fellows to their duty. Captain Corry was not on board when the enzute took place, nor was the First Lieutenant Bunce. On the following morning the men were assembled on the quarter-deck, when they were addressed by the captain. lie said he had sent for them on account of the disgraceful events of last night. On leaving his ship at 9 A.M., he did so with the pride of a man who had the command of as fine a set of lads as could be picked up. Wbat were his feelings on returning on board at 9 r.m., twelve hours after ? If he could but find out the fellow who threw his basin at the com mander, he would not be satisfied till he had brought him to a court-martial, and seen him swinging at the yard-arm. He concluded by observing, that if any more filth were made about the decks, he would stop their smoking for a time ; if it occurred a second time, he would stop the issue of tobacco, for that was not a slop like others which men were en. titled to have issued—the issue of tobacco was a matter of favour. About ten men, or at most twelve, are in irons, and will probably be brought to a court-martial in a few days. Nov. 3.—The Bulldog steam-frigate arrived last night from Leghorn and Port Ferrajo. Lord Milton has gone to Rome rid Florence. Cr.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The Sidon steam frigate, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8., sailed this afternoon for Alexandria, with the newly-appoint( d Governor General of India (Earl Dalhousie) and suite on board. The Racer, 16, Commander A. Reed, arrived this morning from the River Plata. Her dates are Buenos Ayres, Sept. Ist; Monte Video, Sept. sth; and Rio, Sept. 23d. She brings no news of political interest later than that brought by the Castor. She sailed this evening for Plymouth to be paid off. The Asia, 84, Captain R. F. Stopford, intended for the flag of Rear-Admiral Phipps Hornby, C. 8., to command in chief in the Pacific, arrived at St. Helen's last night, and came to Spithead this morning, after a lazy passage of about ten days from Sheerness. It would be as well if a tug were attached to each port for the purpose of towing into port all vessels of war detained on their passage by contrary winds, or such like hindrance, as is the practice with the merchant navy. The Asia is , wanted to go out at once, and now she has lost upwards of a week of her fitting time in coming from Sheerness here. The Terrible has been floated off again without accomplishing the end for which she was grounded, and it is now in contemplation to dock her in the large dock where the Firefly is. For this purpose the Prince Regent, to, and Retribution steam frigate, must be removed from the basin , and t h e basin itself drained after she is docked, if docked sbe can be at all, for that is very doubtful. Her paddle boxes are so broad that she must be considerably lightened, and have a good high tide to carry her sponsons over the basin piers. If she is enabled to get into dock, the gates cannot be closed, and hence the necessity for draining the basin, her great length will cause her heel to overhang th e s ill of the dock. Altogether it is a very clumsyjob King. The Belleisle troop-ship, Captain into the harbour thi s afternoon, pursuant"tinoe'Acdatitillie ralty orders recei ve d t o -d ay to that effect.

The French Admiral is to be relieved in about two months by Rear-Admiral Trehouard, re cently promoted for his conduct in the River Plate. WOOLWICH, Nov. 10. The Cyclops steam-vessel, in charge of Lieutenant Robertson, was navigated to Sheerness this morning, to be brought forward for service immediately. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Fisher, was paid off to-day. The Virago steam-sloop, Commander John Lunn, is ordered to be paid off here on Wednesday, the 17th instant. The Driver steam-sloop is in the East dock having he defects made good, as she is required for immediate service. The Dee steam-vessel, Master-Commander Thomas Driver is in the basin undergoing repair, and is to have Mr. Barr's davits fitted to one side, to test their merit compared with the others. The Phoenix steam-vessel is in the basin having her masts and rigging taken down, as it is intended to send her to Limehouse to have the necessary altera tions made in her machinery. The Acheron, the Blazer, and the Porcupine steam vessels are in the basin, and a number of hands are employed upon them, to get these vessels ready fur sea with the least possible delay. The Spiteful, the Prometheus, and the Triton steam vessels are in the basin; the Niger steam-vessel in the dock; and the Fisgard, 42 guns, in the outer basin. The Black Eagle, the Trident, the Myrmidon, the Violet, the Monkey, the Minx, and the Teaser steam vessels are in the harbour. WOOLWICH DOCKYARD, NOV. 10.—In formation having been given to the inspectors of police doing duty at the dockyard that some of the factory smiths were in the habit of making rods, boot-hooks, shoe tips, knives, and other small articles, and selling them to persons in the town, Inspector Field and Sergeant Forbes, after in vain endeavouring to find out the guilty parties, commenced a search in the smiths' department of the factory during the absence of the men, and found articles of the kinds abovenamed secreted near ten of the fire-places ; and on commu nicating the result, Mr. Atherton, chief engineer, addressed the thirty men working at these fires, stat ing that it was not only very wrong to misappropriate the Government property in the manner it was evi dent had been done, but the public works were also delayed by the time occupied in making the articles ; and if the guilty parties were not made known, the Lords of the Admiralty w ou ld pro b a b ly discharge the whole of them, as such proceedings could not be allowed. The result was, that 23 of the smiths were brought before the Commodore, Sir G. Bremer, K.C.B. and K.C.H., to-day, and the decision of the Lords of the Admiralty read to them, dismissing four of the men, and cautioning the others against con cealing in future any knowledge of the misappropria tion of Government property or loss of time. There are 130 smiths in the factory at Woolwich. COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 11.—The slow and gradual pro gress of returning confidence is still perceptible, though there is no marked feature to note in the occurrences of commercial affairs. The suspension of Mr. Hargreaves, announced in a local contemporary, is, it appears, unfounded, and the happy report of the continued absence of further failures may be repeated. Railway shares have exhibited a considerable ad vance. London and North-Western stock has bought, for cash, 154 31 ; and Midlands, 109. 4,000 bales of cotton have again been sold at steady prices -1,200 being for export. The American accounts, the arrival of which off the port was announced yesterday, were received only this morning, the packet ship, the Sea, being unable to cross the bar during the night's tide, in con sequence of the boisterous state of the weather. Her advices, it now appears, also, extend only to the afternoon of Saturday, the 16th ult., though the ship took her departure from Sandy Hook on the 20th ult. Similar dates have been received by the packet ship Cambridge, which also arrived in the Mer sey this morning ; but from neither are there any features of moment to communicate. The political portion of the accounts is entirely void, and the com mercial intelligence is but one day later. The mer chants were then awaiting the advices hence by the Cambria; and in the meanwhile the transactions were unimportant. The cotton market was quiet. made n a d flour, at t 6 s d a t i so e lt s l oa r o Gs f sd lk oo l l i le c ae h rns i g t a6 a ,2 n ain c a de n no d ft s G O . e s n w e e a go s e e Southernhada t be 6 fldo e oul been lars 56 cen att 62 to 6 6dollars4 centssoce for wit ntsto dollar s white, and yellow 6 62t cents. tCO:6rs firm, n 6 nhcreeld'ts. a Potashes, 6 dollars to 6 dollars 25 cents; pearls, 8 dollars. The arrival of the Cambridge announces to us also ( the arrival of the French steamer Alissouri off Cape Clear, at one o'clock on the after noon of Monday last; and consequently it is presumed that her advices of the 25th, irom New York, would reach Havre about yesterday (Wednesday), after a run o f precisely the number of days allotted to her in the c ommun i cation y of Saturday la s t. Probably ere this you h ave re ceived your l e tt ers ; and it is needless, therefore, mention with h ow much anxiety they are awaited in o Liverpool.i The steam-ship vices, n ame l y, to tehaernibsrciainwstiatnht ainNsc'elueksi'vse,latrmayabde expected to arrive here during to-morrow night or Saturday morning. She will probably bring a sum of specie. Further arrivals of specie, though insignificant in amount, have been reported from South America. There is still, in regard to our suspended banks, no new feature to note. The resumption of payment by the North and South Wales Bank depends upon the nature of the reception accorded by the depositors to a plan of paying off their claims somewhat similar to that adopted by the Royal Bank ; and as there has been exhibited, on all h an d s , t ow ards the bank a feel ing of the mo s t g r a tifyi ng kind, there isevery i s, that of a speedy d y desires resumptions o w earnestlywill b a e nd fu g lfi en il e e_ r d a . g enerally There o p a s !loyal ,al B no an k. definiti ve an nouncement with regar d to the 103 Mr. Morton had an interview, yesterday, with Earl Grey, at the Colonial-office.

Lhe Carysfort remains here for some time.. Captain Seymour was taken ill with the fever in to the climate at Mazatlan, and was so much reduced that Captain Sir Baldwin Walker sent him up here (Valparaiso) to accelerate his recovery, and remained hin iself on the coast of Mexico in the Con stance, 50, which is expected to be at Valparaiso about the middle of October. The Spy brigantine, Commander W oo ld r id ge, had been disp a t c h e d from lazatlan to the Gulf of Califor nia, at the departure of the Carysfort from the coast of Mexico, in the beginning of June. The Calypso, 20, Captain Worth, is among the islands of Oceania. The Modeste, IS, Captain Watkins, is daily ex pected 'to arrive at Valparaiso from the Columbia River. She is supposed to have gone to the Sandwich Islands on her way to take in stores and provisions. Her Captain has been promoted, and Lieutenant Macdonald, late Flag Lieutenant to the Admiral, has been appointed to her as acting Commander. The Cormorant steam-:! iop, Commander Seymour, leaves this day for England with the freight in specie to the amount of 1,800,000 dollars on merchants ac count, which is consigned to Captain Sayer, wine merchant and freight agent, of Portsmouth, for con veyance to the Bank of England. It is expected the Cormorant will make a very quick passage, and her officers hold out a prospect of her being in England as soon as the mail via Panama. She will touch at the port of Calcura, in the p rov i nce o f Arancoa, on the south coast of! Chili, to replenish her stock of coals sufficiently to carry her to Rio, through the Straits of Magellan ; replenish again at Rio, and lastly at Fayal ;so that she will be enabled to steam the • whole of the voyage home. A million and a half of her freight has been collected in Mexico, shipped from the Carysfort. A small amount of her freight will be landed at Rio; all the rest is for England upwards of 1,500,000 dollars. P.S. The Cormorant has got her steam up, and will start in a few minutes.

EXT2NSIVE SEIZURE OF GUNP.WDER AT DEWS BURY.--On Monday se'nnight an immense quantity of gunpowder was seized by Mr. Richard Green, chief constable of the Dewsbury division, under the following circumstances :—On the above named day, while the magistrates, Messrs. Joshua Ingham and J. B. Green wood, were holding a petty sessions at the Court-house, information was communicated which induced them to place in the hands of Mr. Green a search warrant for immediate execution, which he at once proceeded to effect on the premises, at Birstal (a small but some what populous town, about four miles from Dewsbury), in the occupation of Mr. Renatus llarptmann, where, in a room adjoining his bedroom, he found four barrels of gunpowder, each weighing 1001 b., and one half barrel, ' weighing 501 b., and in the garret he found seven bar rels and one three parts full ; the remainder he found in a detached outhouse a few yards from his dwelling. The total amount under seizure is eighty-three bar rels, seventy half-barrels, and fifty quarter barrels, making together 5 tons newt. 181b._ Defendant appeared to answer the charge on Monday, the Bth instant, before the above-named magistrates. He ad mitted himself guilty, and the only mitigating circum stances he advanced were, that he was only an agent for Messrs. Pigou and Wiiks, the gunpowder manufacturers, Throgmorton-street, London, and that he sold the article for the purpose of blasting rock in the Morley tunnel, and other railway works now in progress in that locality. The magistrates, however, soon made him sensible that he had committed a great crime by placing in jeopardy the lives of from 4,000 to 5,000 inhabitants, as well as the ruin of property which a single spark from a cracker, or a squib, or from a candle (fireworks being very common at this season of the year), would have instantly effected, and did not hesitate to inflict the full penalty of 2s. per pound, amounting to 1,0001., with the forfeiture of all the powder, and ordered that if de fendant had not sufficient on which to levy he should be committed for six months to hard labour in Wakefield Hous , .. , of Correction. NEW BATHS AT BRISTOL.—Baths and washhouses are to be erected under the direction of Mr. Baly, the engineer of those in London, at the estimated cost of 6,5001, By the arrangement proposed sufficient space is to be obtained in the building for the construction of 60 bath rooms, 64 washing compartments, and 32 ironing compartments. The bath rooms are placed in the front of the building. The entrances to the first-class men's and women's baths are as far a p ar t f rom one another as possible, at the opposite ends of the front ; and those of the second-class men's and women's baths are in the centre. Each bath-room is about 6 feet square, and contains a bath sft. 3in. long, of an average width of ift. gin. and lft. 11in. deep. The baths are to be made of cast-iron enamelled.

We have heard of men hoarding up money in "crocks" and old "stockings," which were considered much safer than in banks ; but seldom have we heard of even the miser committing such ludicrous mistakes as the following:—A few days since a gentleman was waited upon by a tenant to pay a por- tion of a year's rent (251.), and, after a long address, in which he set forth the loss of the potato, perhaps the embarrassments consequent on the unsoundness of the monetary system, and so forth, he concluded by stating that " all in the world lie could serape up," amongst even his neighbours, was a 101. note, which he very re• spectfully deposited on the landlord's table. The land lord s (one, worth b d y a t r h in e g w t a h y e , I vr a shto season) expeticle t d o tools every theshillingb but, not e on a closer scrutiny, he discovered that it was neither less nor more than a 501. note ; and, having prudently ,lepwitcd it in his desk, he handed the astonished owner of the treasure the balance, 251., at the same tim e com plimenting him for his prudent care and punctuality.— Garlow Sentinel. • _ . THE RIVER PLATE. The following memorial from the leading mer chants connected with the trade of the River Plate has been presented to Viscount Palmerston on the subject of the blockade of Buenos Ayres ``London, Oct. 18. "My Lord,—As parties deeply interested in the trade of the River Plate, we respectfully beg leave to offer to your Lordship a few remarks upon the block ade in that- river, which, though discontinued by tilt- British naval forces, is continued by those of France. Uniteddispat dispatch to Howden dated " Concer n i ng t hi s blockade, Mr. W. A. Harris, Minister o es e at , Buenos 15 1 Ay r u es, l s y , ,v$ r B i t4e;, a , i n as follows The block a d e has not answered in any one respect whatever the end for which it ostensibly was laid on. Its principal tendency has been to molest and irritate those whom it was intended to reduce by co • ercion. Another practical effect of it has beep, that whilst it destroyed all legal and open commerce, it made necessaryqi sort of spurious traffic through the medium of the port of Monte Video obliging pay ment of a doubl e i mport and export duty, which has been levied for the support of the anomalous Govern ment in that city. Nevertheless, the principal benefit of this system has not fallen to the Governments , of England and France, nor even to the subjects in ge neral of those Governments, but openly and noto riously to the advantage of a few persons in that city, and a still smaller number in this. " Further on, in the same dispatch, Mr. Harris states that from the 23d of February, 1846, to the end of May, 1847, the number of vessels which entered and left the port of Buenos Ayres was 4,012. I obtain this result (he says) fr om an examination of the monthly returns which have 'been presented to this legation. It is true that almost all these were small vessels, many of which arrived and sailed at night; but it is also true that a great ruder of them, perhaps half, did so at mid-day, and in sight of the blockading forces, without any serious attempt at detaining them. All those vessels, however, paid tribute at the port of Monte Video fur the produce or merchandize of which their cargoes were composed, as I have said above.' " Lord Howden, also, in a dispatch to Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, dated July 15, 1847, writes concerning the blockade as follows : " As 1 consider, first, that the orientals of Monte Video are not at this moment free agents, but entirely controlled by a foreign garrison; and secondly, that the blockade having entirely lost its original character of a coercive measure against General Roses, has become exclusively a mode of supplying with money, partly the Government of Monte Video, and partly certain foreign individuals there, to the continued detriment of the extensive and valuable commerce of England in these waters; I hereby request you, Sir, to raise the blockade of both sides of the River Plate, and to take the measures necessary for ceasing al! further intervention in these waters. " To further elucidate the character of this (so called) blockade we remark : " 1. That of the 4,012 vessels mentioned by Mr. Harris not one was British. " 2. That all of them bad one and the same port of destination or departure, viz., Monte Video, and all paid tribute there. If there be any exceptions, they are two few to merit notice. " 3. That the effect of the (so-called) blockade has thus not been to deprive Buenos Ayres of its trade, but merely to restrict it from trading with any other place but Monte Video. " 4. That the British flag has been deprived of any portion of even this trade. " 5. That 4,012 vessels could not have left or en tered Monte Video without the authorities of that port knowing well whither they had gone or whence they came; and yet, "6. That it is at the instigation of those same authorities (owing to their refusal of the armistice) that the French have continued the blockade. " 7. That the Custom-house of Moute Video is farmed by individuals, and that its receipts in 1846 amounted to about 330,0001. sterling, according to the accounts published in the Monte Video journals. "In stating these facts we have aimed at brevity of expression, not from disrespect, but to spare your Lordship's valuable time. " They will suffice, we apprehend, to show that the so-called blockade is in reality no blockade, but a mere sham, with a twofold object :—viz., to enrich the persons who have farmed the Custom-house; and to supply the Government of Monte Video (described by Lord Howden, in the dispatch above quoted, as without money, without credit, and without native troops') with means for maintaining the foreign gar rison. Nor is at all likely to be made effective for the future, for an effective blockade, by depriving Monte Video of its present illicit traffic, would de stroy its revenue, and would be no better to them than no blockade. " Out of the foregoing reflections naturally arise as to the views and attitude of France in this question. No one doubts that if there had been on her part the same desire as on the part of this country to have it settled, it would have been settled. Of the foreign garrison,' which (according to Lord Howden), ' con trols the native population, the bulk are French. Though the French Government may have spoken harshly of these men, yet the French - agents do not discourage them. For proof of both assertions we refer to M. Guizot's dispatch to Connt St. Aulaire, and Count Wale wski's answer to an address from the French Legion, of which we annex copies.* " The allusion in the latter document to the flag deserves a line of explanation. Some years ago the French Government ordered the French legionaries to desist from taking a part in the war, and to lay down their arms. After making all sorts of diffi culties they hit upon the following expedient. They laid down their arms as French subjects, were made on the instant Oriental citizens, and took them up again. The French Government appears to have been satisfied with this mode of complying with their order. It seems that the legionaries now wish to have their flag and nationality restored to them, and it would be rash to say that their petition, though discouraged by Count Walevvski, will not be granted. We have stated facts to your Lordship, but it is not for us to draw conclusions, nor to expatiate upon the importance of the port of Monte Video, both as the key of the River Plate, and from its position in relation to other places. At present it may be said to be in the hands of a French garrison, though not under the French flag. "It remains for us shortly to advert to the hard ship of this state of things upon the merchants con nected—some of them for nearly forty years—with the River Plate. The blo c k a d e i s now of more than two years' standing. For so long a period has the trade between this country and the Argentine republic been sacrificed. A customer has been turned away who would have taken off 1,500,000/. sterling worth of our manufactures. All that time produce of a perishable nature, the returns for exports of former years, has been lying there deteriorating. The cost of evading the bl oc k ade, despite its laxness, was too great for bulky pr o d uce to b ear. There was the heavy freight to Mont e Vid eo, the heavy charges for landing there and reshi pp i ng, and the heavy tri bute exacted by the Monte Video Custom-house, which have been known to amount together, in some instances, to 40 per cent, on first cost. Again there was the risk of sea damage in craft not intended for such a voyage, and the uncertainty as to the views of the blockaders, as the laxness of to-day might, from caprice or spite, be turned into severity to morrow. Moreover, merchants who all their lives have been accustomed to an open trade under the British flag, do not at once become reconcil e d to, or handy at, a bl o ckade, running, half -smuggling traffic. From these causes, therefore, it arises that there is still a large amount of prodtzce belonging to British subjects remaining at Buenos Ayre s , t h e loss of which t o it s owners mus t b e ruinous if the port be not soon opened. "We ha ve a p roo f o f your Lordshi p ' s anxiety to remedy the evil i n the raising the bock a d e on the part of the Briti s h f orces , b ut t o ma k e th a t step effectual it requires t o b e f o ll owe d b y th e F rench. The parties wh o f arm t h e M on t e V i d eo Custom house have secured th e rece i p t s o f it f or 1848- 9, and at the date of th e l ast adv i ces thence were negotiating for those of 1850, so that their ca l culations embrace re mote period s . B ut two years i s surely a long ti me for merchants to be debarred from their trade and de prived of their property; and we place reliance in your Lordship's exertions to terminate so cruel a situation. We would add, that in our opi n i on (if we may be allowed one on such a point) no q uest i on as i to the navigation of the interior waters of th e P late republic is worth any longer sacrifice of trade. "As the uncertainty we are in prevents us from taking the necessary measures for the removal of our property, in case even o f th e port being op ened, we i should feel highly indebt e d for anyinformation whi c h your Lordship may feel a t liberty to give us on the subject, and remain respectfully, my Lord, your Lord ship's most obedient and humble servants, _ (Signatures.) " The Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, &c." [*EXTRACT OF A DISFATCH FROM M. GUIZOT TO COUNT ST. AULAIRE, JAN. 21, 1847. " A part of the French emigrants established at Monte Video have thought proper to rise in insurrec tion against this policy of their Government. In spite of the reiterated warnings of their consul, these French THE ARCHBISHOPRIC OF YORK.—A rumour pre vails very generally amongst the clergy that either the Bishop of Durham or the Bishop of Norwich will be raised to the Archbishopric of York. In the event of the Bishop of Durham being promoted to the Arch bishopric, the translation of one of the existing bishops to the diocese of Durham is more than probable; but in the event of the Bisbop of Norwich being elevated to the dignity, some clergyman not at present on the bench will be consecrated to his see. The new Bishop of Dur ham, whoever he may be, will be entitled to a seat in the llouse of Lords, but the new Bishop of Norwich, if that see should become vacant, or indeed any other see that may be vacated in consequence of a translation, will not render its possessor a spiritual Peer, inasmuch as the new Bishop of Manchester will have a prior claim. The Act for the establishment of the Bishop of Manchester provides for this in the following terms:—" And be it enacted that the number of Lords spiritual now sitting and voting as Lords of Parliament shall not be increased by the creation of the Bishopric of Manchester; and whenever there shall be a vacancy amongst the Lords spiritual by the avoidance of any one of the sees of Canterbury, York, London, Durham, or Winchester, or of any other see which shall be filled by the translation thereto from any other see of a Bishop at that time actually sitting as a Lord of Parliament, such vacancy shall be supplied by the issue of a writ of summons to the Bishop who shall be elected to the same see; but if such vacancy be caused by avoidance of any other see in England or Wales, such vacancy shall be supplied by the issue of a writ of sum mons to that Bishop of a see in England or Wales who shall not have previously become entitled to such writ; and no Bishop who shall be hereafter elected to any see in England or Wales, not being one of the five sees above-named, shall be entitled to have a writ of summons unless in the order and according to the conditions above prescribed." , MYSTERIOUS DEATH BY ARSENIC.—Mr. Wakley, M.P., at an inquest held in Clerkenwell, said that he had held another lately, not as yet concluded, on the body of an Irish foreman of paviours, named Patrick Manning, aged 64. On Saturday week, whilst at his work, his wife brought him his breakfast, which he ate, and in a few minutes afterwards he was seized with spasmodic pains of the stomach. He worked for some time, when he dropped down. His comrades took him to Middlesex Hospital, but he expired on the way. Mr. Wakley ordered a post mor tem examination, to which the wife of deceased, in appearance a very notable per son, strongly objected, more it is at present thought through prejudice than from guilty fear. The result of the examination, made by Mr. Corfe of the hospital, is that arsenic was found in the stomach of deceased. The inquiry stands adjourned, to trace how or by what means the poison was administered. THE DIAMOND STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.-011 Wednesday the annual general Court of Proprietors of the Gravesend and Milton Steam-Packet Company was held at the Town•hall, Gravesend, for receiving the auditors' report, the election of directors, and other annual business. Mr. Warren was called to the chair. From the auditors' report, it appeared that the earnings of the packets together with other receipts, for the past year, amounted to 24,6821. Bs. Id., and after making the usual disbursements, the profits shown on the balance sheet for that period amounted to 8731. 15s. Bd. The assets were 42,8681., and the liabilities 44,209/. A warm debate followed, many of the shareholders murmuring at the small amount of profit on such a large return, observing that in former years the profit accruing from a similar return was 3,0001., and they wished the Chair man to explain how it was that such a small amount of profit was exhibited. The Chairman said it arose from the low fares at which the packets had been running, together with the large amount of pier dues paid by the ' company. For his own part, he never had advocated cheap fares. A long discussion ensued, and it was ulti mately resolved that a committee of nine be appointed, and that they bring up a report to lay before the share holders at another meeting. The meeting was then adjourned for a few weeks, the election of directors being deferred until such meeting should be held. LORD BURY V.

His Lordship received the memorial, which he said he would carefully consider.
