The following is from the Committee of Mexican Bondholders : " The committee have received advises from Mr. Whitehead, dated the lst ult., transmitting a decree signed by the President on Ur) 23d, and published in the official Gazette of Mexico on the 29th of January, which embodies an agreement negotiated by Mr. White head with the, late Minister of Finance, Senor Lerdo, for carrying into effect the third article of the decree of 14th of October, 1850. . The committee have also re ceived this decree officially through the hands of the Mexican financial agency here. A tranthtion of it will be sent to-morrow. It is very valuable as a distinct re cognition of the port agents of the bondholders in Mexico as collectors and receivers of the revenues assigned for the payment of interest on the debt, and is likely to re sult in greater security for the future. But, though the ne w decree came into fore's on the day of its publication, it will practically remain inoperative for some time yet as regards an increase of remittances, because the Mexican Government has encumbered the revenues from the Cus toms by orders and anticipations to the amount of some $2,000,000. "There was a rumour that the Mexican Government would receive from that of the United States a pecu niary supply of from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000, which the public connected with some alleged arrangement about the Tehuantepec route. " The packet brings no remittance for the dividend fund, but $B,OOO have been sent by the agents at Mazat lan by her Majesty's ship Trincomalee to Panama. " San Luis de Potosi bad been evacuated by the insur gents, but Tampico continued to refuse admission to the governor appointed by Government, and the Spanish Legation bad left Mexico in consequence of the alleged inactivity of the Government in bringing to justice the murderers of the Spaniards near Cuernavaca. LARGE FIGURES or SPEECIEL—Mr. Cobden fixes the population of China at 300,000,000. The Duke of Argyll said on the same evening that it was 200,000,000. Here is the difference of only 100,000,000 I A hundred million souls (if the Chinese are allowed to have souls), are cer tainly not much in taking the census of a country. Now, we propose that the two gentlemen be sent out on a mis sion to ascertain what the precise population of China is, and not be allowed to return home until they have satis factorily settled the difference between them. In the meantime Mr. Rowland Hill can occupy the Duke of Argyll's place, and, as for Mr. Cobden, it will be no great loss to the nation if his plaoe is not filled up just at present.—Punch. FACTION FIGHTS IN PARLIAMENT. —La Verita (Paris paper), after referring to the recent debate on Chins, makes the following pointed comments :—" This slight glance at the intrigues of English members of Parliament and the political conduct et Lord John Russell can only inspire us with one thought —namely, that it is with the Parliament of England as it was formerly with the French Chambers, where the affairs of the country, the most important interests of the community, were rele gated to the second rank, in order to give place to the play of personal vanity and ambition. The coalition of parties in the House of Commons forces one of its /min a•pal members, and doubtless many others with him, to vote sometimes in one way and sometimes in another, ac cording to the exigencies of personal interest, and not with regard to the interests of the State. Who will be Minister after Lord Palmerston ? The Whigs or the Tories, or else one of those thousand shades which at this moment compose the infinitely divided opinions of the English Parliament ? Such is the question in agita•ion, and the serious questions on which the debate hinges will be resolved acc,rd ino• to the chances of such or such a candidate for office, and not according to a true and right regard for the in terests of the country, and in conformity with the eternal laws of justice and political morality. This is a sad spectacle ; this is, indeed, the dark side of the Parlia mentary system of government—speechifying preferred to business, and the country sacrificed to petty personal ambition. Such is the moral to be deduced from the debates in Parliament, and we really think we have reason to congratulate ourselves that we have not to suffer the same inconvenience in France," Spirit of the Public Journals. • (From, the Times.) Had it been possible to make an immediate appeal to the country on the result of the Division yesterday morning her Majesty's Ministe r s would only have met in Cabinet to resolve on a course so evidently to their advantage. They would not have given an hour's opportunity to the political sections who have just made the discovery that union is force. A s w e have it on the authority of one of their chi e f s th a t "England does not love Coalition," the sooner England is invited to express her feeling on the charac'er of the present extraor dinary specilien the better. A dissolution is not, however, possible at this moment. Parliament could not reassemble before the expiry of the Mu tiny Act in April, and her Majesty would then be left without money and men for the service and defence of the Stat.. To day, therefore, the Pre mier will propose such temporary arrangements as will allow time for an apperl to the con,tltuencies. A Three Months' Mutiny Act, instead of the usual one for a year, and the necess ,ry- votes for the same period, would a nsw e r this perco - e, and unl es s the three branche s o f th e Coalition wish to ad t to the existing difficulties they will throw no obstacle in the way. No doubt there are people who look on such an interval as a sort of Saturnalia, when, like shipwrecked seilorS rushing to t'ee liquor, they may indulge in any proceedings, however factious and futile. It is not on behalf of the Government that we deprecate any course of simple annoyance. The new Coalition has a cbaract-e: to mike, and it will not do that by throwing everything into confusion, es well at home as abroad. We believe that Go vernment-has no other wish -than t 3 hake the oei nion of - the aOuntry on Alio question ra.ised by its opponents, and so tar carry ()tit their wishes. •-1-11 - will, on its side, abstain from all new measures, only going on with those on which Parliament has fully declared itself. The remission of the " War Ninepence," and, we pre•ume, too, the other parts of the new Budget, will be proceeded with ; and if the House of Com mons, under its new inspiration, should think tit to will haverecedef the romitspresentdecision on these points, it opportunity of doing so. Under these arrangements it is evident that a dissolution may be expected in the course of the present month, and a new Parliament in May. The constitutional ceremony we are about to go through is, in fact, a trial of her Majesty's advisers at the bar of the people. The House of Commons does but perform the part of a Grand Jury, and, as it has not thrown out the bill of indictment pre ferred by the triple accuser, that bill goes at once to the jury of the na ion. When that nation, how ever, hears of the task which devolves upon it, we are inclined to think it will be rather at a loss to know the precise question to be answered. What is the offence 1 What is the substance of the solemn interrogatory, " Gailty or not guilty ?" put to the Government now at the bar of public opinion ? The question and we doubt if the likswas a n e ver put extraordinary t o the Britishne , people before. It is simply this—Has Lord Palmerston 's Cabinet forfeited the confidence of the people, on account of a series of acts committed on the otter side of the world six weeks before they were here even beard of, and by public servants appointed under a-former Administration The present Cabinet neither ap pointed the men nor advised the measures, nor had anything whatever to do with them. At Christ mas, when all the world was in the country, Mi nisters went down among the rest, and there read in the papers, some hours later than the London, and Birmingham, and Manchester world, that an unfor tunate dispute had broken out at Canton. The greater part of the proceedings that have occupied the attention of Parliament during the, last ten days had occurred several weeks before the least inkling of them could come to this country ; and, from first to last, including the firing of a river side suburb of Canton to prevent its being a per petual ambuscade, everything took place long before the arrival in China of a despatch from the Government at home. In fact, had the scene of the narrative been the Moon, or had it been a chapter from the "Arabian Nights," the present Cabinet could not have had less to do with it. It did not even appoint the men, for they were be (Nests from a former Cabinet, and stand upon their own merits. ,in which they can well bear all the scrutiny the public choose to require. Here, then, is the question which the people of England are called on to answer Lord Palmerston's Ad ministration to be condemned and displaced for what it never did and could not do ;—for what it only heard of when everybody else heard of it ; for what was done by men whom It did not appoint, and with whom it has npt yet been able to hold any communication We have only heard of one question at all like it, though hardly so foolish a one, and it was put by certain persons who made " a great pretence of religion and j nstice— Did this man sin, or his father, that he was born blind." Of course, it will be said that as Government accepts the issue, declining to agree in the condem nation of these proceedings and the consequent sur render of their authors, it is responsible for them. Strictly and constitutionally Government is respon sible for everything that is done by its servants, even if it be in fact wholly beyond its control, or even its knowledge. They, however, who have carried this doctrine to the theoretical perfection exhibited by yesterday's vote must have borrowed a hint from the system of that Celestial Empire which they have taken und er their p atrona g e. We read in Mr. Meadows's work :—" One of the principal defects of the poli t y of the Chinese Empire is :he existence and op eration of numer ous provisions in the code entitled Code of the Board of Civil Office for the Punishment of the Mandarins,' w h ere by the mandarins are made responsible f or a vast number of things over which they canno t possibly exercise any control, and in which punishments, more or less severe, are laid down for them in the case of rulers failure." But we mu s t not travel out of the very case-before us for a p ara ll e l, only not quite so un reasonable as the new E n glish practice. One of Yeh's pretences for s e i z i n g the crew of the Arrow was that there was au o ld ma n on board whose son threatened ia sfo n. was a pirate, and,. as th e son co uld not be caught, the old man's head w as wan t e d instead of his son's. Certainly a fath er may in smile sense be held ac h B ae t home accot appointment• d a i n e e c t o boi thef its i Code s t,bo be icolotetulranttharb responsible f t prede cessors, and for the acts of the officers so appointed. This is to hold the son accountable for the father, over whom he can have no control. It is true that Government does refuse to remove or censure the alleged offenders, and does accept their acts. We too, we believe, should have done the same in their case. We are persuaded there was no other alter native, and when the whole story is before the world England will think so too. We shall not at present drag our readers over the ground they have so often traversed during the last week. We may say that, assailed with deliberate outrage by one of the greatest miscreants ever heard of, threatened with more, denied reparation or, what was more important, any guarantee for the future, in the very presence of daily atrocities, and with a fanaeic population, ever ready to rise up against them, her Majesty's servants in this trying situation acted according to their discretion for the honour of the British flag, the observance of treaties, the interests of their country, and the cause of civilisation. No doubt, beset with horrors, and latterly assailed with poison, assassination, and every form of villany t they bad a tryin g time of it. Yet they did their duty to the best of their knowledge, and we shall require better and less factious arguments to convince us that they were wrong. It is, then, for not joining in the censure and abandonment of these men that the British people are invited to expel the Government which, among other ser vices, has brought the war with Russia and now that with Persia to an honourable termination, and, with the exception of China—and must we add Naples ?—has not a single quarrel with any other Government in the world. (From the Daily Noes.) The debate and vote on Mr. Cobden's motion cannot fail to elevate the reputation of Englaud and her free institutions in the estimation of the world. The discussion and its result prove that the moral sense of the representative branch of our Legisla ture is pure and healthy—that in judging of inter national relations it has not one measure for our selves and another for other peoples. It is as ready to condemn and denounce English abuse of supe rior strength as Russian. Some puny attempts have been made to dispa rage the character of the House of Commons' vote on the China question, by representing it as the result of a mere factious combination. We do not deny that party feelings and party objects may oc cwion illy have mingled in the minds of the de baters with higher aspirations. It is obvious that a large proportion of the majority belong to one party, and a large proportion of the minority to another. It may freely be admitted that the elo quence of Conservative leaders may at times have b ee n rendered more caustic and uervvirlining by the consciousness that they were riva's for political power who were subjected to its scathing influence. And it does not admit of denial that rattly an un willing vote was given in the minority from reluct ance ta breakthrough all party associations or al,an , don old friends in the dilemma in which they had involved themselves. Man will be man, and human weakness will mingle with his most generous emo tions. But we fearleAsly ass , rt that the general, the pervading, motive of the ma;ori , y arrayed t.) de nounce the bombardme n t o f j Ointon. was a high minded determination ti efface from the scutche ni of England the blood-rust left on its surraeo by that lawless courage. What other motives could induce Sir Francis Baring and lord Robett Grosvenor— men remarkable for steady, quiet, uno-teutatious adherence to their hereditary politics—to wrench themselves loose from the habits and associations of their whole lives ? What else c )uld in ince a man so suscep ib'e of family affection as Lord John Russell t ) separate himself for the lime from his whole kith and kin ? What personal advantage can such men possibly promise themselves om the course they have pursue 1 ? Common s nse tell , u 3 that the low an t unworthy designs imputed to them, and to the other Liberals who voted with there, are the unseemly birth of the foul imagina tions of m-rzienary drudges of faction, who can only see the reflection of their own vileness when they try to look into th® purest souls. The hearts of men are inscrutable. No man can say what the inmost thoughts are of the speaker who may be giving utterance to the loftie:t senti ments. But men can tell whether the sentimeots expressed are just or unjust. And it is impossible to read the five nights' debate w;theitt being im pressed with the moral superiority of the views and sentiments expressed by those who arraigned the proceedings in the Canton river, over those which fell 'from the lips of the apologists of those proceed ings. Even though we were to take the most humiliating view of the case, and regard bo•h par ties as mere actors, we should be compelled to ad mit that the speakers on the side of "the majority evinced a more correct estima'e of what ought to be the language of virtue and justice—that they said the truth whether they themselves believed it or not. But it is impossible to follow the debate through all its windings and turnings, and adhere to this painfully low eAitnate of those who took part in it. There is on tie part of the majority a frank and f arle s grappling with the question at issue, a determination to place it before their auditors in alt its details and ramifica tiens, that bespeaks coufidnice in the justice of their cause. And there is on the other side a constant endeavour to gloss over facts, to escape from the issue really submitted to thrin, and to diverge into irrelevant discussion , , that b trays an uneasy consciousness of being in the wrong. The temporary alliance of the discordant elements of the majority is honourable to all. They were brought together by an irresistible ; impulse to vin dicate the fair fame of England, by ropudiatino• in her name the buccaneering operations in the Canton river. None of them will ever need to blush for having thus frankly and lathes tatingly acted upon the maxim—"Fais que devra, vient que pourra." The people of England will ratify their verdict. Whoever holds the reins of government must shape his course in the East in conformity to the rec ded declaration of the House of COM:I3O , IP. All that now remains for the friends of justice awl huma nity is, to keep watch lest the vote of Wednesday morning should be allowed to become a dead letter. (From the Morning Herald.) We cannot, of course, pretend to any very pecu liar or official information in referenee to pending events ; but we think, nom what we have heard— andeveuts find currency--that Lord Palmerston's visit to Windsor yesterday will produce the result that before twenty-four hours have elapsed, an offi cial announcement will be made, either orally or in Gazette print, that the present Premier will ap peal to the country for iti approbation (?) of his conduct. The ability of Lord Palmerston no one can deny. Its misdirection we 111114 t regret. `Lie country will, we believe, in a Very few days—if we are lig,lit;y informed, have to deal with all the great 'fact.; which have recently agitated it, and which will agitate for yeari this great empire, uuleis settled by the settlement of a Conservative Administration in power, placed there by the opinion of the people —the dominion of right, and pie aged to princptcs We have no fear of Lord Derby I As no public announcement was yesterday made, either in Parliament or out of it, of the intent,ons of the Cabinet ; and as it would be idle for us to pretend to penetrate the score's of the party to which we are opposed, we shall not a 4 tempt to pre dict or to assert anything ; but shall merely point out certain necessities of the case, which seem to lead to almost inevitable conclasionq. First, then, we incline to the opinion that the Palmerston Administration is at an end. We doubt the possibility of an immediate dissoluticn, with all the financial business of the country untouched., with no one tax adjusted or re-adjusted, and with all the estimates waiting for discussion. We repea, that to disband Parliament for the whole of March and half of April, with affairs in this plight, seems to us nearly impossible. Nor is it likely, on the other hand, that the members would consent to go on with the ordinary busine,s of a session with a condemned Government and with a dissolution in Juno impending over the house of Commons. This assembly has a right to say to the Alinistry, " Either bow before our censure and retire, or else, if you appeal to the country, make that appeal at once." In this position of affairs our expectation is, that Lord Palmerston will bend to his inevitable fate, and will to-day announce that his resignation is in the hands of her Majesty. Should this prove to be the cage, the history of thiis crisis, and the way in wbich it has been pfo duced, will be one of the most remarkable in the British annals. _ _ _ ' The blow has been struck by a man who, for two years past, has been held in something like con tempt. , • Mr. Cobden, for a considerable period, has,been held to ba "effete and "gone by ;" and 'Punch has levelled more jokes and caricatures at himtthan even at ' Mr. Disraeli himself. Yet has this disregarded and scorned man found strength enough to overthrow " the great War Minister: Look, too, at the names of some of that majority which has overthrown a "Liberal Ministry." Here are a few of the culprits : Thos. Alcock. Lord Goderich. Sir F. Baring. Lord R. Grosvenor. J. Bell. Lord J. Russell. T. A. Bellew. Hon. P. L. King. G. Bowyer. Sir J. Paxton. J. Crook. A. Pellatt. W. J. Fox. J. L. Ricardo. G. Hadfield. J. A. Roebuck. L. Heyworth. Capt. Scobell. T. Kennedy. W. Tits. S. Laing. E. Warner. W. Laslett. W. Williams. A. H. Layard. Sir T. E. Perry. J. Locke. R. Cobden. E. Mi.all. T. M. Gibson. One singular contrast deserves to be noticed. In 1852 a great contest took place in Middlesex. Lord Blaudford was the Conservative candidate, and Lord R. Grosvenor the Whig. Now, in Tuesday night's division, Lord Blandford voted in favour of Lord Palmerston, and Lord R. Gros venor against him ! However, let us quit the past, and look forward to the next moves on the political chessboard. Should Lord Palmerston shrink from the fearful s'raggle which an attempt to retain his seat would bring on, and should he this afternoon announce his retirement, the next important question would be—To whom would her Majesty turn for counsel and assistance in this difficult crisis We, as Conservatives, naturally regard the pre ference as almost belonging to Lord Derby, on the obvious ground, that no other individual has so numerous a body of attached friends and supporters in both Houses of Parliament. The universal ex pectation would be, that the first summons from Windsor would be sent to St. James's-square. But, let this difficult duty be impos:sd on whom soever it may—Lord Derby, Lord Aberdeen, or Lord J. Russell—that individual will immediately find troubles and difficulties spring up on every side. The Conservative array is too weak without the aid of Mr. Gladstone and his friends ; yet their alliance, while it brings great strength in some respects, brings some weakness also. Twenty-one Conservatives voted with the Govern ment on Tuesday night ; and if asked the reason why they did so, nearly every one of them would have replied, "Because we do not want to bring Mr. Gladstone into power." We may be told that it would be wiser and more patriotic to keep silence on these delicate points. But our conviction is that the truest pa'riotism, is shown by a frank, but respectful, avowal of differ ences and difficulties. What will be the reception of a Derby Adminis tration, with Mr, Gladst9ne s as leader of the House of Wramoni ? Will the reunion of Sir. R. Peel's followers with the main body of the Conservatives give to the new Ministry a majority in the Howe of COMM ns? This• is, at least, doubtful. But will a disioi, tis)n in June set matters right ? That depends on the reception which Mr. Gladstone's name meets with in the country. _ _ It is a keen perception of these difficulties which leads Lord John Russell to predict with confidence that the Premiership will be his before Midsummer. In his view the failure of a Conservative Cabinet is certain ; and then he considers that his turn must come, and that the country must accept him as it; dictator, simply because no other course is open to it - . This is the anticipation of a very self-confident msn. OV,e's, and more judicious reasoners, avow their conviction that Lord John Russells chance of success is far smaller than Lord Daily's or even than L rd Aberclee.'s (however preposterous the last thought miy appear). They tell us thit Lord John's popularly with the Whigs thtms,, , lvts is nearly gone, and that at Br okes's he is scarcely tolerated. Trey hold it to ba impo , sible for him 0 gather round him a decent Cabinet. ------ Ou the who!e, th e advent —of a Conservative M , n - stry seems very nem.. The chief difficulty seems to be to quiet the apprehensions or several in Parliament, and of rainy, peraous out of Parlia ment, who dreal, more than almost auy other thin the in reduction of Tra,ctariau influence into the high lliees of the land. (From the Morning Advertiser ) Out of evil cometh good. The ultimate result, of the numerical disoomtiture of Ministers yester day moreinz will be to strengthen the hands and encouraoi the heart of Los l Palmerston. The country will view the matter in its true light. The country is not a fiction. The country has no fac tious ends to serve. The country-4's not in qu9Bt of place. Fac ion has for the moment triumphed in the louse of Commons. Place-hunters have, as they imagine, made a great advance to' the attainment of their object. Mr: Disraeli and Mr. Gladstone are speculating with great confidence' on their early alquisition of the reins of power. • It were well if they were somewhat less sanguine. "There's many a slip between the cup and the lip." So says the proverb, and every day's observation verifies its truth. The country will never submit to see Lord Palmerston made the victim of the most disg,racefal combination recorded in the annals o t this or of any other country. Only reflect for a moment on the fact, that the names of the heads of each of the five hostile parties into which the house of Commons is divided, will be found in the list of those who voted against Ministers. Mr. Disraeli, as the leader of the Conservatives ; Mr. Gladstone, as the head of the Peelites • Lord:John Russell, as the chief "of the Whigs ; 11 1 1 r. Cobden, as the re presentative of the Manchester school ; and Mr. Roebuck, as the leader of those very independent handful of Liberals in the house, who manifest their independence by always voting against any Government which chances to be in power—all, all grace the list of Lord Palmerston's foes. There is something absolutely odious in a combi nation. like this. The country will turn away from it with loathing, We repeat what we have said from the first, that the boutbarJment of Canton was, under all the circumstances, a barbarous act ; and, therefore, that Lord Palmerston committed a gt eat error in policy, as well as iu justice, in adopting and making his own everything which Admiral Seymour and Sir John Bowring .thought proper to do. But that only showed an exaess of generosity on the part of the Premier. Thera was something noble in the feeling which prompted him to stand by the servants of the Crown—so far distant from home ; but Lord Palmerston ought to . be re minded—and the adverse vote of yesterday morning must have taught him the lesson—that generosity may be cart ied too far. It ought never to be exer cised at the expense of justice. . Still the error which the Premier has committed in this instance did neither require nor jus tify the factious hostility which he has had to enc4uuter from the mendacious clnsp . lrators wha leagued against him in this debate. . Are all the past 13atriltic deeds of th 6 noble lord to be forgot ten because of one error, and that arising from the noblest of feelings ? The Disraelis and Gladstones, and the hungry brood who bark at their heels in their eager pursuit of place, may so reason ; but the country will feet and act otherwise. The people will never forget that to him alone we owe the position which Great Britain occupies at thi, mowent among the nations of the civilised world. The country knows, and feels profoundly grate ful in the contemplation of the fact, that but fur Lord Palineiston .Russia would at this hour be playing the despot over the 1.-ngth and breadth of Europe. It was he, and he alone, that so signally defeated all her diplomatic tricks, aided though she was by France, in reference to the Bolgrad mul t i Bessaralyan questions. Not only can he trium phantly say, " Alone I did it ;" but we can add, that there is not another man among the many millions of her Majesty's subjects who could have done it. Had Lord Aberdeen, Lord Derby, or Lord J. Russell been in office during the last two years, England would be, at this hour, in effect, at the b'ck of the Czar. We should have been vir tually the serfs of the Autocrat of all the Russias. Louis Napoleon would have had his wishes gratified respecting the extinction of the freedom of our Press ; and ere a few years more had elapsed this country would have been in the same state of political and social degradation as that in which we see France so deeply sunk. Russia will never forgive Lord Palmerston for the marked and merited punishment which, he has inflicted cn her ; nor will there ever be the slightest diminution of that mortification which she feels at, the masterly manner in which he dealt with, and defeated, her diplomatic cunning, with regard to the recent Paris Conferences. She has vowed re venge ; .and Russia, as all the world knows, never relents. Nor does, she ever renounce her once che rished objects. In accordance with her traditional temper and tractics,.she has resolved neder to give sleep to her eyes; nor slumber to her eyelids, until she has made Lord ,Palmerston her victi9a. She w ill pursue her vindictive course till the last 'hour of the noble lord's political existence. Even then her thirst for Vengeance will not be slaked. (From the Morning Post.) As the immediate consequence of the defeat of the Ministry on Tuesday night, a Cabinet Council was held yesterday. As soon as the Council had broken up Viscount Palmer-ton left town for Windsor Castle, whence his lordship will return to-day. It is impossible to suppose that a Minister of the energy, the ability, and the popularity of the Noble Lord, supported, as he is, by a large majority of the Upper House of Parliament, can submit to the dictation of so factious and unprincipled a coalition as that which obtained an unfair triumph on the question of the hostilities in China. We feel therefore convinced that resignation is not the point upon which Lord Palmerston has taken the Royal pleasure. Of course, it is impossible to say, till the wishes of her Majesty have been ascertained, what is the precise course t) be pursued ; but we own that we see no resource in the present emergency except an appeal to the country. .. It is not difficult to anticipat e the result of such an appeal. The love of fair play inherent in the English character—the gratitude for a great struggle successfully maintained, and crowned with an honourable peaca—for a large and . unexpected diminuti.m of the public burdens --for the interests of Eagland promoted and her reputation vindicated —for the alliances which have consolidated the tranquillity of Europe, and combined the two great nations of the West in the cause of civilisation and liberty—for a home policy, reformatory and pro gressive, awl a foreign policy, glorious because thoroughly English—cannot fail to find an echo in the right feeling and honest action of the consti tuency of the country. It seems a singular and most unaccountable fa tality that it is at the very moment when a satis factory treaty of Peace is signed with Persia by h Government of Viscount Palmerston—thus prov ingte the desire of the Cabinet to put an end to every thing like war and contest in the East—that it is at the very moment when the Neuchatel affair afford i a more promising aspect—tt at it is at the very mo zenntdwehnct.nothf e H fa o m ng ily K of on th g, the much slandered uc slandered super of the island (Mr. Chisholm the A Anstey), and other numerous victims among the British are suffering to tha t by th t e he Hous, from a wholesale system ofpoisoning perfidiou s oCommons, ai:l t combination of three parties termined—let the two hundred and resorted , has facetiously de sixty-thfhee reae b b y erousCh inese gentlemen disguise it as they will peeiniasbUlya noe Government.

A HARBOUR OF REFUGE ON THE NORTH-E'ASI' COAST. The fearful loss of life and property in the North Sea during the January gales has attracted a good deal of attention in the mercantile communities to the imperative necessity of forming a harbour of refuge somewaere on the north-east seaboard be tween th , Yarmouth roads and the Tyne. Various prof Tots are under discussion, each locality advo cating its own particular scheme. Redcar, Hartle pool-bay, and northward of the Tyne, Newbigg-m -bay, have been suggested as eligible sites. Mr. Murray, the engi Oen - of the Sunderland-docks, has a magnificent scheme to form a'harbour of 600 acres in Hendon-bay, by the side of the ocean. track from London to .the coal ports ; and the River Ty.le Improvement Cominiss , oners also urge that they should have aid from the Treasury to ex.end the pier-works now in course of fqrmation, Si as to make the noble estuary of the Tyne a har bour of refuge in gales of wind. Mr. James Mather, one of the River Tyne Improvement Commissioners, adduces the folio ring facts in a petition he has presented to the House of Lards in proof that such a place of shelter should be made by the Government. He says a harbour of refuge on the north-east coast of England would save an nually from destruction a large number of British seamen and a great amount of shipping property. That out of 1,141 wrecks and casualties (according to the "Admiralty Wreck Register" for 1856) 576, or upwards of one-half, took place upon the east coast. And on this coast for 260 miles, from Yar mouth Roads to the Frith of Forth, there is no harbour of refuge for vessels caught in gales flora the eastward. That in the year 1852, within a radius of 70 miles of the river Tyne, about one fourth of the wrecks of the kingdom occurred; and that in a single easterly gale in October of that year, within 20 nautical miles of the Tyne, 69 lives were sacrificed in a few hours. That in the begin ning of January, 1854, by another easterly gale, 110 wrecks occurred in three days within the same radius, by which upwards of a quart-r of a mil lion sterling of British shipping and other pro perty was destroyed and a large number of British seamen was sacrifice d ; and at the mouth of the same river, which was sought by a large fleet for shelter during the gale, 36 wrecks occurred, one fourth of which only belonged to the port. The crews of the wrecked vessels, with the exception of one, wore, however, all gallantly saved by the life boat. That in the terrible gale from the north-east, upon the sth of January in the present year, within a radius of 50 miles from the Tyne, and in the same bay, 94 ships went on shore or foundered, by which in a few hours 167 lives were miserably destroyed and a large amount of property was entirely lost. That within 20 nautical miles of the river Tyne, where these terrible dims' ers are crowded so fatally together, a great amount of shipping is perpetually ou the coast, trading to and from the three north eastern rivers, the Tyne, the Wear, and the Tees, with their tributaries. The five ports on these rivers, it is recorded in the last year's Parliamentary Re turn on shipping, had upwards of 8,100,000 tons in wards and outwards, of which oue-half belonged to the Tyne, being about one-sixth of the entire trad ing tonnage of the kingdom, and more than that of the Thames. That during the year upwards of 57,000 vessels from those ports were thus exposed day and night in all weathers upon the dangerous north east coast, whose harbours are hermetically seal( d, the sooner and the more closely the heavier the gale. In such gales those of them at the time upon the coast not able to keep the sea or enter a har bour speedily founder or are dashed and wrecked upon tnis disastrous leeshore. That, in addition ' there is al =o a large number of vess e l s a t no die tance in the North Sea RisQing alone the coast, or bound to and from the Baltic and the north ern ports of Europe, which, with these already specified, do not amount to less than 120,000 yes ' sels a year thusi - exposed. That the south coast ? f England, according to the last Parliamentary re turn (1856, No. 122), had less than 3,000,000 of trading tonnage (the Tyne itself has upwards of 4,000,000), which his been provided by the Go vernment with four harbours of refuge still con structing, and having cost already nearly 2,000,000/. sterling, annually increasing, while the more than 9,000,000 of tonnage of the north-east coast is left entirely without a harbour of refuge.

The plan consists in applying the acetum cantharidis, or any vesicating fluid, by means of a camel hair brush to the apes of each spot or pustule of the disease, on all the exposed surfaces of the body, until blistering is evi• denced by the whiteness of the skin in the parts sub jec. ed to the application, when the fluid producing it is to be washed off with water or thin arrowroot gruel. The pain attending the application of the visicating fluid i very slight and transient. M'CULLOCH'S COMMERCIAL DICTIONARY.
