Apathy seems to be the speedy and inevitable con sequence of enthusiasm, and the greater the enthu siasm the more inevitable and the more speedy is the apathy by which it is succeeded. This is among the many incomprehensible anomalies of our national character. To the physiologist it arises from cli mate, or from the mixture of races ; to the phrenolo gist it is the result of certain craniological develop ments ; to the abstract philosopher it comes from the peculiarities of the ethical doctrines instilled into the hearts of the population. Whatever may be the im mediate cause of this fickleness of temperament, there it is, perpetually manifested to us as well by the most frivolous as by the most important occurrences. It is as visible to the foreigner on his arrival in England as the chalky whiteness of our cliffs ; it is as much a characteristic among us as vivacity is among Frenchmen, or a contemplative quiescence among Germans. We are as proud of our capacity for evincing enthusiasm as a peacock is of unfolding his tail, and generally to about as much purpose. A short time back the metropolis rang with acclamations in honour of the memory of WILLIess C.txTos—meetings were convened, speeches were delivered, subscriptions were opened. Every one appeared eager to vie in testimonies of grati tude for the peaceful but triumphant achieve ments of the first English printer. A fountain was to sparkle in the daytime and gaslights were to glitter in the evening, in commemoration of a career by which the land had been so vividly illuminated. A monument of an appropriate description was to attest to after ages that our generation had been alive to the benefits conferred upon his countrymen by the intel ligence and int:ustry of CAXTON. It was to adorn the precincts of the venerable Abbey of Westminster, because in the cloisters of that superb edifice the first British printer was first sheltered. All hearts—at least the hearts of all enlightened men—exulted at the prospective erection of this token of national appreciation. The noise of this ardour has diminished —the activity of this demonstration has abated—the notion of the Caxton Testimonial has, by the vast majority of its promoters, been altogether forgotten. With Mr. H. H. MILMAN and his immediate sympa thisers we are convinced it is different ; we are satisfied that the committee and the secretary, ap pointed some weeks since in the Adelphi, are by no means idle or indifferent; but we are equally certain that with the public generally, the idea of a monument to CAXTON is as a vision of a fort night old—gone from the recollection. Even when these observations shall recal the matter to the me mory of the people, the result of the reminiscence will be like the verse of BULWER-LYTTON, they will again " Dream the dream they dreamed." Knowing this to be our national peculiarity, what are our reflections about the sale of SHAKSPERE'S birthplace ? We tremble lest that memento of the greatest poet the world ever saw should become the possession of an unworthy purchaser. What a dis grace would it not be to every man and woman in the island were this " holy ground" of genius to be profaned by the footsteps of a huckstering show man ! What a fact to record in the history of British literature, that the shrine to which the illustrious of all lands had resorted a s pilgrims, had been " knocked down" to a mercenary speculator by the hammer of an auctioneer ! what an antithesis to inscribe among our national memo rabilim that the only relics of the mighty being who flourished in the days of Queen ELIZABETH should be sold like any vulgar curiosity in the days of Queen VICTORIA ! Yet that event may possibly, will pro bably occur within a few days, unless the enthu siasm already evinced throughout the United King dom be sustained. Let us be aroused to a sense of the value of these mementoes of our true benefactors and instructors by this critical position of the humble dwelling house in which the eyes of WILLIAM SHABSPERE first opened. They are, from their many gentle and sublime associations, better than gold or jewels. They a re the fra gments o f past which have drift e d to us—timeworn a glorious and m utilated, but authe n ti c and venerable—down the flood of Time and across the abyss of th ree perilous centuries. Let us prize th em as Com:mums prized the green leaves and the scarlet berries that floated round the prow of his vessel, and told him of the countries beyond the ocean. And while we con sider as to the surest means of preserving the birth place of that wonderful mortal, the like of wh om the world never saw before, and (say the adoring Ger mans), " will never see again"—let us see whether the other relics of national genius which are scattered 'hither and thither over the islands cannot be saved from destruction, and rendered the property of the p eoPle, under the especial care of the supreme Go vernment. Glad are we when the residences of our great countrymen have accidentally pass ed into the possessi o n appreciatin g of men capable of genius aenamreiverencing its abodes. Glad a,'e we, for that Barnes-elms, which of yore sheltered under its roof the golden in tellect of .t.kBRAHA.M COWLEY, welling-house of such our own day the d should have become In Sir LAIMWELLIT SRADW ELL , th e Vice- an ono) as r o f England.. But t makes us wroth to know that the villa of .ALEXANDIiR POPE, at Twic" kenhani, should have beers levelled by the vandalism of iorame, and that the gardens in which the translator of HOMER flirted with Lady MARY WORTLEY should be di s fi gure d by the architectMONTAGUE ural e4twra. gances conceived by a mind of the most arrogant vulgarity. We would see Stonehenge walled in safe from the possible assaults of the railway engineer; we would see NEWTON'S cottage, and THOMSON'S parlour, and the vicarage in which OLIVER GOLDSMITH first saw the light, trea sured up by the nation—not; the casual property of this man or that. This is not a question of mere bricks and mortar, it is one involving the holiest principles and the most ennobling sentiments of our common nature. There are many questions of deep and serious in terest to the United Kingdom to be discussed in the new Parliament, but perhaps none are more vitally important than those which relate to the sister island, to the development of her resources, the employment of her people, her extrication from the distress and misery in which she has been unhappily involved, and her elevation to a state of comparative prosperity. Ireland is an integral portion of the British dominions ; her interests are not in any wise different from our own, and no distinction should be made in the manner in which her people are dealt with from that adopted to our own. The proposition enunciated by the late Premier, responded to by the present and his colleagues in the Ministry, and received with ac clamations by the united Legislature, " that she should be placed on a footing of perfect equality with ; Eng land in her civil, municipal, and political institutions,' contained the true principle on which alone she can be governed for the future. But something more is to be done than the restoration, or we should rather say, the creation of that equality. Past ages of mis government and oppression have led to her present painful position, and to the fearful amount of misery and suffering that has taken place during the past year. We owe it to our Irish brethren to spare no exertion, to leave no effort untried to promote the welfare of their country, and to place the people in such a position as they might reasonably have hoped to be in had England adopted a wiser and more liberal policy in bygone years. It is not merely a matter of justice that we should do so, but it is also in the highest degree expedient. If Ireland were permitted to remain in her present deplorable state she would be a continual clog on our exertions, a source of endless expense and embarrassment—she would be the chief difficulty of our Ministers, and a constant drain on our Exchequer, while her people would be barely removed from a state of ab solute destitution. Viewing the subject, therefore, merely as a matter of pounds, shillings, and pence, and omitting every consideration of justice and humanity, we should take the steps necessary for the improvement of her soil and the employment of her people, and thus transform her from a craving and importunate dependent, to a valuable and efficient auxiliary. It is not by a single measure, however beneficial it might prove, that this great result can be obtained. Many matters, apparently trivial in themselves, will yet have important effects, and tend materially to wards the attainment of the desired object. The recla• ration of the waste lands, the promotion of fisheries, the establishing of better relations between landlord and tenant, an extensive cultivation of flax, loans to landowners for the improvement of their estates, and the creation of railways through the entire coun try, are all means by which the greatest ameliorations may be effected; but they are not sufficient by them selves, and the most attentive and mature considera tion should be devoted to the various propositions which have, from time to time, been brought for ward. The great majority of these propositions may be imperfect, and, in their present shape, impracti cable, but they will generally be found to contain something from which good may be extracted, and that may be productive of benefit. They may not appear calculated to produce all the advantages as serted by their originators, but still a partial adop tion may be followed by favourable results. There is no period which can be more properly devoted to that consideration than the present. There is at least a relaxation of suffering—a relief from that frightful destitution that compelled a prompt and ready action for present necessities, rather than for future advantages. The statesman can now apply his mind to the entire question, with out being distracted by the warfare of parties in the senate-house, or the cry of agony from a people ex posed to all the horrors of pestilence and famine. He possesses that leisure and quietness which is so essen tial to calm reflection and a prudent judgment. He can weigh the various remedial measures in the balance, and separate the wheat from the chaff. The golden moment should not, and we believe will not, be suffered to elapse fruitlessly by the enlightened and liberal Nobleman who now presides over the na tional councils or the other members of the Cabinet. We shall look with deep anxiety for the results of their labours, and we trust that they may furnish a solution to the difficulties, and give effect to the good wishes and favourable intentions towards Ireland by which our Ministers are animated. But while the Ministry are thus busy, no persons I of any class should be idle. Capitalists are especially those by whose aid the greatest benefits to Ireland may be effected, and with corresponding advantages to themselves. The great want of Ireland is capital, and if that can be made to flow to her shores, not only from na tional, but from private sources, the victory will be more than half achieved. An extremely sensible, and well ' written pamphlet, from the pen of the Rev. GEORGE HENRY STODDART, contains a notice of the Irish Amelioration Society, a project brought forward by Mr. JASPER E. ROGERS, C.E. " The plan," it is stated, " would, if promptly adopted, furnish remunerative employment to thousands immediately after the harvest is over, and thus enable them to provide for their families through the ensuing winter, while fuel would be more adequately, and safely, and economically provided." These are certainly valu able results, but iz addition, it is said, that while ten per cent. is paid to the capitalist on the amount of his investment, a large surplus will be applicable to the amelioration of the con dition of the people, by improvements in their habitations, the construction of lecture-rooms for useful and entertaining information, instruction in cottage economy and agricultural science, includ ing the growth of flax, and the establishment of loan funds and dispensaries. Although we are not pre pared to say that all these advantages can be at tained, there is quite sufficient to show that the scheme is a feasible one ; and if the calculations of Mr. Rooaas are not very erroneous indeed, an ample dividend might fairly be looked for, and much employment would be given to persons who might otherwise become burdensome on the poor -rates. The project is, at all events, worthy of serious con sideration, and it is said that it has already been sub mitted to many eminent scientific persons, from whom it received the highest encomiums and the most unqualified approbation. A correspondent from Rome, dating his letter on the 12th, states in the Augsburg Gazette, that the French Ambassador to the Papal Court had re proached the Cardinal Secretary of State with pre cipitation in publishing officially the first protest of the Cardinal Legate of Ferrara, and observed that the course adopted was not diplomatic. The reply of the Cardinal was, according to the same letter, most characteristic ; he remarked that he did not pretend to be a diplomatist, but that he had done what he was entitled to do. The occupation of Ferrara by the Austrians is described, by those who wrote from Rome on the ilo7dtihninasttiaonnt,into the eve capital as a pr o f oun d f ee li ng o f as well a s thr oug h ou t Romagna. Th e Pontificalala to abate thi s impression, had Government,. published with a view of t p h u e hl D l . . ed o n th a t d ay an extraordin ary number o di Ro ma , containing an arti c l e calculated to re-assure the population in regard t o th e results of the occupation. The article begins by referring to the p rotest en tered into in 1813 by Cardinal GONSALYI and Roman Cabinet against the 103 d clause o f the treaty e of Vienna, which reserved to Austria th e right of garrisoning the citadels of Ferrara and Comacchio, with the exception of the towns. The Holy See, it says, had ever since entertained a hope that the Aus trian troops would be withdrawn even from those citadels, and had insisted and obtained that the respec tive garrisons should not trespass beyond the limits of the fortresses. Great accordingly had been the surprise of his HOLINESS when he was informed that considerable reinforcements, presenting themselves with all the appearances of hostility, had entered Ferrara on the 17th of July. The Secretary of State, on being apprised =of the fact, had immediately written to the Austrian General-in-Chief, Count RA DETSKI, to withdraw the troops from the town, and direct the' garrison► to remain within the walls of the citadel. Instead of complying with that request the Austrian General ordered patrols to be sent into the town at night, on the 6th of August, and finally, the military posts to be occupied by Austrian troops. On the Bth the Governor of the citadel, General AIJERSPERG, had complained to the Cardinal Legate of the prison being committed to the keeping of the civic guard, and declared that if the principal posts and the gates were likewise confided to them, he would be under the necessity of dislodging them and replacing them by Austrian soldiers. The Cardinal invoked the right of sovereignty of the POPE, but his remonstrances were disregarded by Count 11.1 DETSKI, who ordered the occupation of the four gates of the town and the principal posts by the garrison of the citadel. Cardinal CIACCHI had again pro tested, and his conduct had been fully approved by the Government. His HOLINESS highly commended the behaviour of the people of Ferrara on that occa sion ; he shed tears of gratitude, and bestowed on them his benediction. The article then concludes by re commending all the subjects of the POPE to observe moderation, and to place confidence in the Govern ment, and assures them that he had protested in the proper form against this unjustifiable aggression. News from Bologna, up to the 16th instant, inclu sively, tells us that though affairs remained in the same position as before at Ferrara, there were twenty thousand Austrians congregated on the banks of the Po, in readiness to cross that river at a moment's no tice. On the 16th inst. the Municipal Councillors of Bologna voted an address to Cardinal ABIATI, protest ing in the strongest terms against the Austrian inva sion, and announcing their willingness to defend with their lives and property the independence of the Papal dominions. Tuscany is described as being in a state of great agitation. Intelligence from Madrid has been received, with newspapers of the 19th inst. The terms of reconciliation had been laid before the KING-CONSORT, but his MAJESTY required a delay of four months' duration before he would con sent to a return to the palace. This conditional demand is ascribed by the Progressist papers to foreign influence. The Eco del Comercio, indeed, goes the length of asserting that ISABELLA had re ceived an affectionate communication from her royal uncle, the KING of the FRENCH, warning her that if such-and-such a course were not followed, General NARVAEZ should be dispatched to Spain for the pur pose of vigorously carrying into effect the designs of himself (Louis PHILIPPE). So much for the Citizen King—the King of July—the King of the Bar ricades ! In consequence of the failure of the Cabinet in effecting a reconciliation between the royal couple, the retirement of the Ministry was hourly expected. Other accounts, however, state that Messrs. PACHECO, BENAVIDES, and MAZZAREDO were striving to pro mote the accession of General NARVAEZ to the Presidency of the Council ; and our hint of yesterday about SALAMANCA is corroborated, by the assurance of our Madrid correspondent that that Minister was not altogether disinclined to continue in office under the General, but was awaiting the arrival of SARA GOSSA. from Paris to know his definitive intentions. According to the French intelligence it would also seem that Queen CHRISTINA returned to Paris on Monday, from Havre, in consequence of the recent information received from Spain. The utmost anxiety prevailed throughout Madrid, and the Funds had fallen. The Three per Cents. were done at. 26 for cash ; the Coupons at 15 ; and the Five per Cents. at ri for paper ; and the Debt without interest, at 51. The Paris journals of Tuesday have arrived. by our usual express. They are still engrossed with the horrible murder of the Duchess DE Paminiv, and the scarcely less horrible proceedings of the Austrians; .in the northern provinces of the Italian Peninsula. The general belief throughout the capital, respoct ing the murderer of the daughter of Marshal San Ls . TIANI, was that the Duke DE CHOISEUL PEASI.: cN would not live to be tried. The National explicit'y declares this as its conviction. The Journal des Debats says :—" As we stated yesterday, the ;re mains of the Duchess DE PRASLIN were deposited. on Sunday in the vaults o f th e M a d e l a i ne , h er pai. , lsh church. On. Monday morning, at eight o'clock, a fun e; ml service was celebrated in the same church, amidst the tears and grief of all present. The friends of . .the unhappy Duchess had joined General TIM UWE SEBASTIAN; the Duke DE COIGNY, and several ID em bers of the Praslin family, and mingled over that tomb, so prematurely and so cruelly opened, t hcir poignant regrets, their despair and tears. Never vas mourning more simple and sincere. Tire fate :and end of the Duchess DE PRASLIN would have dra wn tears from the most indifferent. But, for those who knew the Duchess, her virtues, her amiable qualities, her unbounded charity—what a subject of bitter end inconsolable grief! Madame DE PRASLIN possc ed all that commands respect and affection. She - v vas still handsome. Educated under the eyes and in the house of her illustrious father, Marshal SERAST/ A. NI, she was adorned with every mental gift. At Par is, on her estate of Praslin, everywhere, in short, :she distributed alms in abundance, and the poor 133 ay be said to have shared with her her immense fort u ne. Madame DE PRASLIN adored her family ; she was; the consolation of her father, an example to all who .ap proached her ; she was beloved and venerated. 117' hat a void she leaves in society ! What an eternal g r ief in the hearts of her friends I But what a blow for Marshal SEDASTIANI ! At this moment the un A 'r tunate father is still, perhaps, ignorant of the fat e of his beloved daughter. His arrival at Paris had Ire en erroneously announced ; his family, even, does - not know, at the moment we write, where the Marsh ti' is, and whether he will receive the fatal intelligence , by one of the messengers dispatched to him in four dill ferent directions, or learn it, unprepared, through the journals, or from the mouth of a stranger. This t in certainty is the s Abject of the most painful anx iE .ty for the family and friends of the Marshal. But, let what may happen, alas ! the shock will be fright 1 ul. Nobody can calculate its extent. The Marshal !has lost the daughter whose tender care and filial of fi .c -tion constituted the happiness of his life ;—and 13c ow has he lost her !" In answer to the reflections pf the Journal a 'es Debats, that if the policy recommended by the IV a tional had been followed, there would have been a more frightful amount of crime committed with in a single month than has been perpetrated within t he last seventeen years, the latter journal observes : " We do not pretend that if France, faithful to t he generous ideas suggested by the popular victory, h ad pursued the brilliant road traced by the sun of Jul y, and if her b anner, then raised and saluted by so m eJ ly nations, had becom e the rallying sign of free nati, 3! as, such a work c ou ld have been accomplished with gut sacrifices. History teaches us that every progr e ss, every upward movement of humanity, requires c ie votedness, struggles, and efforts. Civilization is at present armed with a force which renders obsta c les less capable of resistance, and conquest less pair tf ul. And, moreover, to suffer if necessary for a g n eat idea, to wound one's feet in walking on a road wi i ich leads to a noble object, to tell an entire nation wl 3se genius is expansive that it is necessary to pass a d i (f,. cult defile in order to restore dignity to the coun to secure for all her children a more equitable ( li vi sion of the blessings of life—that it is necessary to cross a bridge defended by coalesced aristocracies, l ut that there are oppressed on the other side who In ve risen and are waiting our approach, would, in ct ur eyes, be to accomplish the mission of France, and ve are sufficiently acquainted with our nation to feel t all confidence both in her courage and in her instisi Such is the system of which we would have wish ed to see the triumph. It was not without peril, but- ' the principle was sacred, the means glorious, and the r)b • j,et elevated. Must we descend into that ditch in w hi ch your system has erected its temple ? What, suffer all that we feel in our pride, in our sympathies for nati.A which we regard as brothers, to see so much menu - ness, so many abuses, so many accumulated crimes— - and why ? For a deceptive peace, for an idea with(.3l t solidity, in order to create a political annuity for tin e life on a foundation of sand, and to bend a nation t of 35,000,000 of inhabitants into the stooping attitiu4 'e rHE SUN, LONDON, THURSD AY.

We do not allude to your budgets, nor to your defi cits, nor to the banitruptcy which threatens your heirs ; hut, have you counted the public and private grievances, the victims, and the despair you have occasioned? Do you know that within less than ten years you have imprisoned more than 14,000 citizens for political causes ? Was it your personal bene volence that raised the state of siege ? Must we re mind you of your mercy in the city of Lyons or in the streets of Paris ? You were attacked and you defended yourselves—that was your excuse—history will settle that question, but there was not the less bloodshed! And abroad, where revolutionary theories would have produced so many crimes, specify, if you can, the weight of the atrocities which the counter revolutionary system has produced. Who can calcu late the number of victims which you abandoned to the executioners of Poland, and the executioners at Naples, at Modena, through the entire of Italy, in Spain and Portugal, and again a short time since in Gallicia ? Impotent lookers-on, or secret accom plices of that counter-revolution of which you are at present the satellites, you dare speak of the possible excesses of another system.

Jervis was about to address the jury— The Learned Counsel said that before his Learned Friend made any observations on this painful case, he bad, on the part of the defendant, to say that he felt more deeply than he could express pain and anguish admitting what had he was also most anxiousfor bee n charged g d ecalde clare u s against that he did not in the inm d s lightest degree impute any unkind conduct on the part of the plaintiff towards his wife, still less to reflect on the unhappy lady who is the subject of this ' s ) protecton. Th e d e f en d ant i s t h e on l y inquiry, and who is no d ou b t now un d er his Sir(de on. Robert Bromley, an d h e h e ld a commis sionsf e o n n d o a f n t i in the army, which was all the property he ever had, and which he had disposed of, and the produce was now nearly all gone. He was aware th a t h e had done the plaintiff a deep and serious injury, and, knowning that he deser ve d pun i s h ment, he was i content to bear t ; but in order to spare the pain which must result from a protracted inquiry, he would make all the reparation in his power ; and although he knew that no pecuniary compensation would be commensurate to his offence, he would at once submit to a verdict for 5001., which was the heaviest damages it was in his power to pay. Sir J. JERVIS, after consulting with his clients, said that as the defendant had made such a full dis claimer of any improper conduct on the part of the plaintiff, who did not, however, for a moment shrink from an inquiry inpublic, w hi c h d e f en d ant had made in private ; yet, in order to scr een th e un f or t una t e offspring who were the &Mance between the plaintiff and the unfortunate lady, and a s th e propos i t i on was made i n good faith a verdict for 5001. would be taken, for, although no money could compen sa t e f or th e i n j ur y done to the plaintiff, it was necessary, under the forms of the law, for the plaintiff to come before a jury and obtain substantial damages in order to ground pro ceedings to dissolve the marriage, as it would be ut terlyplaintiff to live again with hiswi ir e impossible for the misery. The UNDER- SEIERIFi said, this being a civil case the parties had a right to agree, and all the jury had to do was to return a verdict for 500/. The plaintiff's rank in life or the amount of da. mages sued for was not mentioned. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY. James Bruce was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with illegally pawning a watch, the property of Charles Corby, No. 7, York street. It appeared that some time in the month of April last the complainant entrusted a silver watch to the prisoner, to take to the watchmaker's, in order to be repaired. Some few weeks after complainant called for his watch, when he was surprised to find that the prisoner had been and taken it away. He subsequently met him in the street, and taxed him with fraudulently obtaining his watch. The prisoner did not deny it, and admitted that he had pawned it at Young's, in Princes street, and that be wonld redeem it, and re store it to him. Complainant accepted these terms ; but instead of the prisoner fulfilling his promise he ab sconded, and nothing more was heard of him till the complainant met him this morning, and gave him into custody. The prisoner admitted the charge, but pleaded dis tress as the cause. He added that if he had time he should be able to redeem it. Mr. BINGILAM said he should order him to be de tained, and when he redeemed the watch and restored it to the complainant, he (Mr. Bingham) should decide upon what fine or punishment ho should inflict. CLERKEN WELL—( THIS DAY.) Jam es Lawson was charged wit h furiousl y drivin g a cart along Thomas Har r i son was k noc ked down, and received such Ray-street, Clerkenwell-green, whereby serious injuries th a t h e no w lies at the hospital in a very dangerous state. It appeared from the statement of a constable of the G division that the prisoner was driving towards Clerk enwell-green a t a rate o f e i g ht or nine miles an hour ; and while Harrison, who was a very old and in fi rm man, was in the ac t of crossing Ray-street, he was overtaken by the prisoner's cart, and before he could get out of the way the sh a f t caught h i m un d er the left arm and pitched him with great violence to the ground, when the wheel passed over his thigh, which it fractured in a shocking manner. He w as ot h erw i se much cut and bruised, and received some severe internal injuries. A certificat e h av i ng b een p u t in stating the inability of Harrison to leave the hospital, the prisoner was re manded. The incumbency of Barnard Castle church and th e mastership of the Hospital of St. John's, Durham, have become vacant by the death of the Rev. James Davidson. The managers of hospitals in Paris are about to organize a small agricultural colony for deserted chil dren. The Bristol Consistorial Court hai sentenced a brewer, named Evans, to stand in church in a white sheet, for hiving defamed the character of a young woman. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUeII?TER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm. Sales 3,000 bales. Shares were very dull, and but few buying orders were in the market. The sale of Railway Shares yesterday, by Messrs, La mond and Co., was very depressed, and the quotations show a marked decline in many lines. East Indian shares were almost unsaleable at the quotations. The following are a few of the principal sales:— Derby, Stafford, and Worcestershire . £0 5 0 Shrewsbury and Birmingham (B) 1 10 0 Shrewsbury and Hereford Northern Counties Union 0 10 0 East Indian Great Western of Bengal 0 1 6 Ceylon (scrip) • 0 2 0 Great Northern London and South-Western (scrip) Newcastle and Berwick 26 0 0 Eastern Counties. York Extension 6 9 0 Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston 1 4 0 . Shropshire Union and Canal 1 16 6 The Bank of England appears, according to the state ment mßde in various quarters, to have been more liberal to applicants for discounts within the last two days, though charging 6 and 7 per cent., according to the date of the paper offered. The failure of Dickson and Co., at Belfast, and continued rumours of other houses here and at Liverpool, place the discount houses in some perplexity as to the bills which they can safely accept, but even they have better means of information than the merchants at large. Recent accounts from Leipzic mention that a confer ence of deputies from the Zollverein States is to be held in that city next month, with the view of establish ing an uniform system for the transaction of exchange business. Some doubt is thrown upon the statement in a Paris journal as to the French loan being likely to come out in November, for it is believed that everything, as to time, will depend upon the condition of the money market. It does not appear that any notice has been taken of a statement made by Lord Lincoln during the debate on Colonization in the late Parliament, that the settlement of the Canadian provinces is prevented by the waste lands being appropriated, though unoccupied. A party writing in the Tot onto Patriot, to hand by the last ar rival, states— " This must mean that they are appropriated to indi viduals, though not occupied by them, and therefore that they are unavailable for the settlement of emigrants, or that they are appropriated for the service of the Co lonial Legislature. It the latter, it is utter nonsense; if the former, itis utter falsehood. Believing that the former (arising out of u regular phobia for Canada, where his character is so well understood, and has been so tho oughly exposed), is far more consonant to Mr. Buller's character, we state explictly that it is calculated to mislead most mischievously. It conceals the fact that there are millions of acres of fertile lands in Upper Canada alone, available for settlement. Certainly, much exaggeration has prevailed on this head ; but we speak within bounds when we state, that not less than five millions of acres of fertile, healthy land, may be had, exclusive of the tract between the Ottawa, Lake Huron, and Lake Nepissieg, and exclusive of enormous quanti ties of pine lands, which may probably be found unfit for culture." The English Securities have been flatter again this morning, and there have been further sales of Money stock. It is probable, however, that these are induced by the settlement of the account, which is against the speculators for a rise, who are understood to have very heavy differences to pay. Consols have been 86i to 87 for transfer, and 871 to 11 for account. Exchequer bills have been at par to 3s. premium. Bank Stock has been 195 to 196, and India Stock 241. The Foreign Stocks are entirely neglected. The only bargains have been in Mexican, at 18k, and in Dutch Two and-a MU per Cents., at 56. Nominally Spanish Three per Cents. are 29i to 30, and Portuguese Four per Cents. as low as 24 to 26. The accounts from Lisbon are not considered to be by any means favour• able, although there is no doubt but that the policy of the British Government will be enforced, or the Queen be left to her fate. In railway shares the feature is still rather paucity of business than pressure of sales, but, in the absence of buyers, and want of confidence, it is difficult to ascer tain the tendency of the market.
