Zbg sillx+ LONDON : THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1840. heard Among the modes of warfare which we have spoken of, as likely to be employed against The Chinese Government, in the event of the over tUres of Great Britain for the set dement of our dif ferences with the Celestial Empire being rejected, the most important is one recommended by British merchants at Canton, in 1833, and earlier, for Changing the Imperial dynasty. Mr. DA Arts, who accompanied Lord A MfiEnsT in his embassy to Pe kin in 1816, and who, after residing many years in Canton, was appointed one of the three Royal Corn missioners for regulatin g our trade with the Celestial Empi re , states in his very interesting book on China, that the reinnirr, Manchow Tartar dynasty is exceedingly unpopular, and that the people, par ticularly the poorer classes, are very impatient and dissatisfied u n d er the Tartar yoke. This was so well understood by the British merchants at Can ton, that they went so far as to print placards for distribution among the Chinese populace, on the occasion of an interruption of the trade, inviting the m to cast oil the Tartar yoke, and restore to the thro ne a descendant of one of the native dynasties. Sch proceedings on the part o f a mere mercantile b u d Go y v 9 , , r'nvemreytery prop er l y di scouraged by the British en ; but we have heard that some such course will be adopted by Admiral ELLIOT should he find the EMPEROR as inflexible as the Imperial Commissioner LIN. Of the mora lity of such a proceeding few doubts can be .4ertained, if the numerous accounts of th e unpo ?tilarity of the Tartar dynasty, in consequenc e of oppression of the aboriginal Chinese, can be foi ls St. l fOO- ' ►o+erg (Or r W e t Io l4 ' vit , mers id• guilt o As ioog e b 4l ploci a g tg. uolet. ed o Ip; o f ~ o ,stake , Holl sh gst; bas ' il gorse. , eorgia l !‘ to Nor fo 51 Li o go e, ioy t o wn , v q sbod we' t h t sa iling „ Iv 13'9 0 th ; D ow e, d o' iroa ay „ sO n ,sumn'e,,4 ES C° 'he .011°1 , the 114- , is s.ro o ;r1 Cl 3" by GO' , thet t f/e 13 o re • the v heo t " a J c e PI IP at b 6 I P r . oce tl)e [a 13 Ae ,cttld file $ 1 g e c h sic • I ‘l Ol Ir. c oil° • c ic 'e.° of ''''tre ) , t ll.l C.V. 0 v frO ; re* Ai CO Ortje" r' V "•-• r • L , I V erl o• n d 10 1,r' 4. 45r lat. u f Dike 1, Jo el, ( Parai° PO' 1 rot 10 3 s a • 19 14 04 b be r , 110 t, IN ° It M ut ' I v4 o, I. n he ri )11P° OW lt t ri tAl‘ eti ner ror P e. core died upon as only pdtiaily true. All the' Imperial . Guards arc Tartars, the great Officers of State are Tartars, nor is there any public office of trust from which the native Chinese are not rigidly excluded. Before the accession of the reigning Tartar dynasty, the Chinese delighted in commerce, which they took every opportunity of extending ; but since the Manchows obtained the dominion of the finest portion of Asia they have cut off all trade to the utmost of their power, for fear of affording the Chinese an opportunity of rebelling against them. At no period of their history have the Chinese people been indifferent to commerce. Its sole ene mies are the Manchows, who when they found that they could not entirely stop all foreign trade, confined it to one city of the empire, and loaded it with such heavy imposts as they hoped would deter foreigners from engaging in it. These imposts ex ceed in amount what any but merchants trading to China have the least conception of. Thus the charges on vessels of SOO tons burthen are equal to 8001. sterling each, -nd so on in proportion, exclu sive of various items which privately find their way into the pockets of the Mandarins in the river. These imposts are ruinously exorbitant; and one of the objects of the present expedition is to insist upon their reduction. This will prove no less advanta geous to the British tea-drinker than to the British merchant. The naval expedition against China consists of eighteen ships of war of all sizes, a troopship ami sixteen transports—forming altogether the most powerful squadron that ever appeared in the Chinese waters. As the Admiral has instructions to negotiate no treaty unless directly with the EM PEROR, it being impossible to place reliance on any statement made by the Mandarins, we by no means expect that the question will be soon settled. Every scheme of procrastination will be adopted, in the hope that either by stratagem, or the fury of the elements, the Barbarian squadron may be destroyed. After the first brush, the war on the part of the Chinese will be purely defensive. The inhabitants, along the coasts will be commanded to retire into the interior, taking with them their provisions and moveable property, and every device resorted to. with a view to harrass and starve the invaderv. For this mode of warfare, we doubt not the British Admiral is well prepared. If resorted to, it will at least enable him to make a permanent settlement on the coast of China, which shall serve as a check upon the future ag gressions of that faithless Government. Should the EMPEROR, to avoid all intercourse with the British Admiral, retire beyond the great wall among his native tribe, the project of a revolution will be tried ; and, from what we learn of the public feeling in China, with the prospect of complete success. We can readily credit what the Indian papers tell us of the excitement which this expedition has created at the Courts of Burtnah, Cochin-China, Siam, and Japan. The Chinese Resident in Siam, and more particularly in Bankok, the capital, are confident that the English cannot succeed, as the entire population of Great Britain, if sent to China in their youth, and employed in cutting off the heads of the Celestials, would be grey-headed before one-fourth of the Chinese would be decapi tated ! Such are the simple ideas of the Chinese with respect to European warfare. But their au ditors are not so ignorant of the results of British prowess; and of the Native Princes of India sus pected of disaffection to England, there was not one upon whom the news of such an expedition, directed against such a formidable Power, had not produced a profound impression. Partial success, much more defeat, in C Inna,would raise a host of ene- mies against our dominion in tbeEasl. THORAWAD. DEE would take the fiPld at once, and, perhaps, ii imitation of his ferocious father, would command his armies, after sacking Bombay and Calcutta, to march on and burn London ! This Monarch does not like to do even mischief for nothino. ; for having on a late occasion made the ex-Queen, her brother, four Ladies of the Court, twelve Officers of State, and some twenty more obscure individuals shorter by the head, the Governor of Ran- goon was i,►structed to apprise the British Resident, which he accordingly did, that it was usual on such occasions to make handsome presents to his M JESTY ! Now, if he expected a present from Colonel BENSON for decapitating thirty•eight of ' his own subjects, what might he not be expected to demand for burning London We have borrowed from the Herald of Tuesday a letter descriptive of the present state of manufac tures in Ghent. It contains nothing very new, but it is right to have a confirmation of the fact, that other nations are becoming equal to Great Britain in ' manufacturing skill, on Tory authority. The Anti- Corn-law party have been labouring for some time to make that fact extensively known, and have exhi bited at Manchester and in London specimens of • various manufactures made i❑ Belgium, Saxony, and on the Rhine, at a cheaper rate than equal and similar goods can be made in England. We may Oleic!' ore, now assume that it is established to the complete satisfaction of the Corn-law advocates, and they are only required to attend to the conse- Prm mN,_ LONDON, TnrnsnAv, SEPTRWIIER, 10, Ina !nlir 01■10010,11111,..-- , so active. Tfie rst railroad, with a Locomotive running on it, was scarcely completed in England, before railroads were begun on the Continent. They ate now in full activity in Belgium and Prus sia, and lines have been commenced throughout France and Germany, extending into Italy. Thirty years have not yet elapsed since the first steam boat was used on the Clyde ; and it is one of the arguments of the Tories, that our maritime supe riority, and even our safety, are exposed to hazard by the steam navy of France. Be it for good or for evil, society is now moving with unex ampled rapidity, and, if our manufactures are not to have fair play, this generation will witness the destruction of Britain's prosperity, and Britain's greatness. Another remark is suggested by the letter. The Belgians, Germans, and French borrow our me chanic arts; they care very little about our agricul ture. It is impossible to suppose that all these na tions are stupid or foolish. They are keenly alive to their own interest, and that very thing which thousands of individuals abroad are struggling for, manufacturing supremacy, we are wantonly and wilfully destroying. They know, and their Govern ments know—and what is singular, they have ac quired the knowledge from the example of England —that manufacturing skill adds greatly to the wealth of society. What agriculture was to pasturage, that is mechanical skill to agriculture—an art of later invention, and more productive of advantage than its predecessor. Many clever men are of opinion that agriculture has made little or no progress since the days of VIRGIL ; and not to it, therefore, but to manufactures, is the modern greatness of our country due. If it be now not suffering the deepest distress for want of employment, that is owing not to our agriculture, which is nearly stationary, or very slowly progressive, but to the rapid extension of other arts. In railways alone, not less we believe than seventy millions sterling have been embarked, and work to that amount is now in has been, or will be completed. That, however,Lis an entirely new branch of industry ; and, under the Corn-laws, it will probably take twice as many years before seventy millions additional capital shall be directed to the extension and improvement of agriculture. Mid ways are at the same time only one example of such new arts, but it may serve as an index to the whole. We by no means desire, however, that the Legislature should bestow any protection or encou ragement on manufacturing industry. We only require that justice should be done it, aid that it should not be oppressed and ruined for the pre sumed advantage of the landlords. between them, before their purport can be known elsewhere. Not that we mean to insinuate that the Post and the Herald receive their inspirations from the Treasury ; but that the Treasury is so dilatory in its revelations as to render them worthless to its accredited organs. And important as have been the announcements made by the Post, in our eyes they dwindle into insignificance compared with the grave considerations wlich attach themselves to the statement put forth this morning by the Herald. That we may not possibly misrepresent Four Con temporary, we shall quote the whole of the article which has so startled us : We are given to understand, by most respectable au thority, that the quadruple treaty contains a clause, of whch the following is the substance : " In ease of need a Russian army will be directed on Asia Minor, and placed so as to cover and secure the phorus are to be closed. against vessels q f war of all na tions whatsoever." capital of Tin key ; ale Dardanelles and the Bos- In other words, Russia is to be constituted sole mis tress of Turkey, atid an English fleet is barred from the Dardanelles, effectually to prevent all British inter:et.- core with Russian policy. This not worse than the treaty of Unkiar Skeleisi. We were NOT bound by that, but we ARE //Mind by this. We are excluded from the Dardanelles at the only mo ment when our squadron should be there to counteract Russian ascendancy. Probably Lord Palmerston waits for the ratification of the convention before he communicates it officially ; but he is now called on to admit or deny the above state ment, as, if it be true, he has compromised the country most deeply, and the treaty must not be acted on. We now see what Lord Palmerston meant at the close of last Session when he recommended the Convention, on the ground that the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi would be abandoned. We have only to add, that we give this statement, not on our own authority, but on that of a valuable cor- respondent. We cannot believe that the Treaty of London contains any article to the above effect. Lord PALMEIiSTON would not dare to constitute Russia sole guardian of the Turkish capital. We call upon the Government to deny most explicitly that the Treaty of London authorises the closing of the Dardanelles against English ships of war, while it sanctions the march of a Russian army aponCon stantinople. Unless the Government can do this with a safe conscience, it has betrayed Turkey and covered Great Britain with infamy. On the 19th of August the ratification of the Treaty of London was signed by the Porte; and on the 21st a courier was to set out with it to London, where, we suppose, it has already arrived. As no delay was likely to take place in the exchange of the ratifications, the Government can have now no difficulty in making it public—the more especially as it is the boast of the Four Powers that its contents are already known to the only Power opposed to its exe• cution—France. Our anxiety for the publication of the Treaty is increased by knowing that it was ru moured in Constantinople on the 19th ult. that 30,000 Russian troops were about to embark on the Black Sea for the Bosphorus, and that a re-infurcement of 80,000 troops were encamped at Bessarabia, ready to march at a moment's Lotice to the assistance of the Porte. A t the same time Izz ET MOHA NI ED PACHA t commander of the Castles of the Dardanelles, had been sum monded to attend the Divan to receive instructions relative to the defence of the Straits, and several Prussian engineers had been appointed by the Porte to co-operate with him in strengthening the woris. Taken in conjunction with the statement of the Herald's Correspondent, these facts justify us in demanding that publicity be given to a treaty so deeply involving the honour and the interests of this country. To the evident surprise of the Journal des Debats and the Constitutionnel, we stated last week that we would prefer seeing ME- H6IET ALI at Constantinople as a conqueror, rather than the Emperor . NICHOLAS the pre tended guardian of the Osmanlis. We again repeat that statement. We would rather a thousand times see MEH EM ET Am girt with the sword and clothed with the mantle of the Prophet than witness the desecration for one week of the Turkish capital by the o ccupation of 30,000 Rus sians, were we ever so certain that the second would behold the re-embarkation of every single soldier of them for Odessa. Sir GEORGE STEPHEN has published " A Letter to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in reply to Mr. JAMIESON on the Niger Expedition," from whose work we gave an extract some time ago. We can not say that Sir GEORGE has refuted Mr. JAMIE SON ; • and we equally disapprove of his taste and his logic. He carps at Mr. JAMIESON'S words, and ridicules his manner, much more like a hack re viewer, ready to do any bookseller's work, than a man anxious to discover truth, and anxious to make it known to the world. Sir GEORGE seems to us to have a bad case, and he mentions several facts in vindication of Sir FOWELL BUXTON'S and Sir GEORGE STEPHEN'S plan of sending Go vernment vessels to the Niger, and establishing commercial settlements in that neighbourhood, which seem to us to tell most powerfully against his scheme. He says, for example, "that Sir THOMAS BUXTON'S principle is simply this : teach the Afri can the commercial value of his indigenous pro. duce, and he will, for profit's sake, trade in that instead of slaves." This is clearly what traders like Mr. JAMIESON are doing, and what the philanthro pists, who will not be traders, will be more likely to undo than promote. Again, Sir S. STEPHEN says, on high autho rity, " that the African trade. at the present Moment is the most prosperous and-profitable in ex istence. If that be a fact, it does not need Govern ment -patronage and the meddling of the African Society to extend it. Private interest, without taking more than 50,000/. oat of the public purse, will accomplish the desired object. According to Sir GEOR GE this lucrative trade is now monopolized by six London and Liverpool houses, which is in admirable reason for other merchants endeavouring, by all fair and honour able means to participate in the trade, and an equally admirable reason why a society, under the pretence of promoting the civili zation of Africa, should not interfere with it, Though Sir G. STEPHEN may have the advan• Cage over Mr. JAMIESON in verbal accuracy, the facts mentioned by both tell entirely in favour of the trader and against the philanthropic Society We have before protested, on principle, against the Government appropriating any portion of the taxes to carry out Sir FowELL BUXTON'S crotchets, and Sir G. STEPHEN'S pamphlet has confirmed our opinion. It is equally correct in practice and on principle. But we persist in believing that the . Herald has been grossly misinformed. It would be doing the greatest injustice to Lord PALMERSTON, and the Government of which he is a member, to suppose it possible, on the mere authority of an anonymous Correspondent of a Tory Jourr.al, that such an article as is above indicated could find its way into any treaty to which England was a party for set tling the affairs of the East. We have as yet made no inquiry in any quarter, but we trust before going to press to be able to announce that the statement in the Herald is a groundless Tory fa brication—as false as it is meant to be mischievous Since the above observations were written, we have learnt from excellent authority, and can state positively, that the information given by the Herald is INCORRECT. It will not, however, by such slap-dash, hap-hazard statements force the Ministers to enlighten its ignorance till the. proper time comes to make the treat) public. It will be seen, horn an a dvertisement heade, " Doncaster Races," that the North Midland Rail A letter in cur Paper of yesterday from Mr. 1' A. Sm mt, Secretary to the Chinch of England Temperance Society, sets the tactics of the clergy in a clear light. They never troubled themselves to promote temperance amongst the people, except by demanding restrictive measures on giw-selling, and except, in their magisterial capacity, punish ing drunkards with much severity, till tempe rance had made considerable progress, when, find ing that they were likely to be left behind, instead of keeping their place at the head of society, " they aroused themselves," and endeavoured to turn a movement to their advantage they had no hand in orginating. We have no objection to accept them as auxiliaries in a good work, but we shall object to their founding, on any little help they may now give, a claim to the lion's share of the honours. The "jolly full-bottle" men are not adapted to aid this cause ; and temperance, according to the discipline of our National Churelyvould be a bottle ot port daily fur a Rector, and two bottles of Burgundy, or some equally agreeable French wine, every day for a Bishop. Oxford is ,famous for teaching men how to carry their wine well, and to take a great deal of it. A Temperance Society, according to the disclipine of the National Church, would either be a society , of wine-bibhers, or it would require a total reform in the Church r:self, beginning with its seminaries. way Company engage to convey passengers from London to Doncaster in eight hours and a quarter —a distance which not very many years ago could not be performed in less than two days, and which at the present time, even by tire best coaches, re quires twenty hours.

However wildly some persons may have written ; no one, we presume, particularly after Sir Ro- BERT PEEL'S declaration in favour of manufac tures, as the source of the national greatness and of the wealth of the landowners, will now really propose that our manufactures should be wilfully al lowed to decline, or expect that, should they decline, the nation can preserve her eminence as a first-rate power. But it is perfectly clear, from what the Herald's Correspondent says, that they will, and intht decline, as other nations attain our manufac turing skill, and have, in addition, the advantage of cheap and abundant food. Our people in hundreds carry their skill to Ghent and other places, and the question, therefore, reduces itself to this, whether, p p of i ly the tran- remove in the competition to produce cheaply, Englishmen with cheap food will not beat Englishmen with dear food.

Some shots were fired by some National Guards and a troop of the line, when, unfortu nately, one man was killed and four wounded. At nine o'clock at night the city was quite tranquil. The King arrived at the Tuilieries yesterday at noon. His Majesty was accompanied by the Queen and Madame Adelaide. At one o'clock he presided in a Council of Minis ters. His Maje,ty dined and slept at Paris. Yesterday eteniug, at nine o'clock, the Dukes of Or leans, Nemours, and Auuiale, arrived from Chantilly. The Sieele ann.uncei that M.

They have already visited on the coast from this town to Fecamp, the several points which may be defended, and at which it might be necessary to erect batteries."— Le Constilutionnel. We have received today news from Algiers of the 31st of August. The heat was still very great, and caused much sickness both among the troops and the inhabitants. The convoy to Blidab having returned without the troops, it was inferred that they had pushed on Medeah by the new road. It was reported that a European, who had come from Medeah in the dress of an Ambassador, brought word that we had many sick at Medeah and at Miliana, and that the biscuit left for the troops was spoiled. Perhaps these accounts may have caused the sending of provisions and reinforce• ments to be hastened. Letters from Philippeville of the 28th August an nounce the appearance of the brother of Abd-el•Kader with 4,500 horsemen in the Medjana. Having been repulsed by the Kabyles from the passage of the Iron Gates, which is blocked, as we have said, by abattis of trees and rocks, he must have taken the ancient Roman road to penetrate into the province. Colonel Levasscur of the 22d, commanding at Setif, writes that he drove back the new combatants towards Braz•e!• ()nod. The Emir's brother is summoning all the population to arms, and some smart actions have already taken place. A squadron of the sth Light Horse, while foraging in the environs of Setif, was attacked by a great' body of Arab cavalry. Though much inferior in number they attacked the enemy with great ithpetuosity, caused them enormous loss, and re covered two chasseurs who had been made prisoners. They lost 20 men in this brilliant action. The infantry hastened from the camp to the scene of action, and put an end to the engagement, which.might have been fa tal to us but for the calmness and judgment and energy of the Captaia commanding the 3d squadron, and the tried courage of the chasseurs of Africa. Sickness is still very prevalent at Philippeville. The mortality is not great, but the number of sick consi derably exceeds that of last year at the same time.— Le Commerce. BERLIN, AUG. 30.—Letters from St. Petersburgh bring the important news that orders have been sent from the Russian Admiralty to Cronstadt immediately to send 18 men-of-war to the Mediterranean. When these 18 sail shall have joined the squadron under the command of Admiral Stoplord, he will have a fleet of 48 sail, viz., 22 Engiish,4 Austrian, 4 Turkish, and 18 Russian. Bes'des these some English ships of the fine will shortly be ordered to re-inforce the fleet in the Levant. VIENNA, AUG. 31.—Count St. Aulaire is expected shortly at the Hotel of the French Legation. It is thought he may return from Marienbad to-morrow or the day following. Prince Metternich is expected be tween the Bth and 12th.

NEW LAMP.— Wo have been much gratified with the sight of Mr. Motley's very simple yet ingenious machine—a lamp for burning tallow or other inflam mable concrete substances, producing a light nearly equal to gas, at half the expense of sperm oil, and nearly as cheap as the commonest fish oil, thus doing away with the very reasonable objection which applies to oils, especially of the common kind. Mr. Motley, we understand, has taken out a patent, and, as far as we can judge, he will be amply compensated for his ex pense and trouble. The light is beautiful, resembling gas-light, but without the intense heat. The machinery of the lamp is extremely simple. Any one can trim it in a few seconds. CONSTANTINOPE, AUG. 19.—The Turkish fleet, consisting of one line-of•battle ship, one frigate, and two sloops, &c., under the command of Captain Walker, R.N., wi'l probably leave to-morrow. There are four English vessels deeply laden reported at the Dardanelles, among them the Fides, from Cardiff. GENOA, SEPT. 3.—A private letter from Alex andr;a, in Egypt, of the 17th August, reports th:it, a plot had been discovered among some officers of the fleet, to burn the Turkish and Egyptian fleets in that port, ar.d that several officers had been arrested, and some of them put to deats. ALPACIIA Woot,.—The following observations on the introductio❑ of a species of Auchenia into Britain, for the purpose of obtaining wool, will prove generally in teresting to manufacturers, but particularly to wool-grow ers. The extract is made from the report of the proceed ,n2s of the British Association at Birmingham, in August, 1539. " Samples and manufactured specimens of Alpacha wool, in imitation of silk, and (without dye) as black a: jet, were exhibited by William Danson, Esq., of Liver pool, who stated that the animals producing it ought to be propagated in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. To the two latter places the Alpacha is well suited, being an inhabitant of the Cordilleras, or mountainous district in Peru. Importations have already taken place to the extent of one million of pounds, and are likely to in creme. There are five specimens of Llamas, of which the Alpacha has fine wool six or twelve inches long, as shown by the specimens exhibited ; the Llamas, of which the hair is very coarse ; and the Vicuna, which has a very short fire wool, more of the beaver cast. The Earl of Derby has propagated the Alpacha in his private menagerie at Knowsley, end Mr. Danson understood that Mr. Ste phenson, at ()ban, in Scotland, has a few of these ani mals. The wool of these animals would not enter into competition with the wool of the sheep, but rather with silk. It is capable of the finest manufacture, and is spe cially suited to the fine shawl trade of Paisley, Glasgow, &c. The yarns spun from it are already sent to France in large quantities, at from 6s. to 12s. 63. per pound, the price of the raw Alpacha wool being now 2s. and 2s. 6d. per pound." POETRY AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE PEOPLE. —" Don't you feel how naughty it is of you," resumed Miss Monflathers, "to be a wax-work child, when you might have the proud consciousness of assisting, to the ex tent of your infant powers, the manufactures of your country, of improving your mind by the constant contemplation of the steam-engine; and of earning a comfortable and nnependent subsistence of from two- and-nineponee to three shillings per week ? Don't you know that the harder you are at work, the happier you arc?—" ' How Both the little'"—murmured one of the teachers, in quo tation from Doctor Watts. "Eh ?" said Miss Mortla tilers, turning smartly round. " Who said that ?" Of course the teacher who had not said it, indicated the rival who had, whom Miss Monflathers frowningly requested to hold her peace ; by that means throwing the informing teacher into raptures of Joy. " The little busy bee," said . Miss Monflathers. drawing herself up, is applicable only to genteel children. In books, or work, or healthful play' is quite right as far as they are concerned ; and the work means painting on velvet, fancy needle-work, or embroi dery. In such cases as these," pointing to Nell, with her parasol, " and in the case of all poor people's children, we should read it thus : In work, work, work. In work alway Let my first years be past, That I may give for ev'ry day Some good account at last.' " A deep hunt of applause rose not only from the two teachers, but from all the pupils, who were equally: asto nished to hear Miss Monflathers improvising after this bril liant style ; fur although she had been long known as a politician. she bad n e v er appeared before as an original poet.—Master llamphrey's Clock, No, 23. CHARITABLE INSTITUTIONS IN VENICE.— All Italy is distinguished for the n umber of its charitable institutions ; and in this respect, Venice and Lombardy certainly hold as prominent a place as any other part . of the country. There is one house within the c!ty in which 700 pour people are lodged, and many more bare free lodgings and receive pecuniary aEsistance out of the establishment. There is an orphan house for about 335 children, an infirmary for 36 w omen, a wealthy institution for the reception of peni ent w omen, r n hospital capable . of receiving 1,000 patients, a house ot ,ducaliors for 'may &z., and the reve young girls, a foundling hospital, nues, c hiefly arts'ng from endowments, amount to about 580,000 fl..ains.—.Rawner's Italy and Ili • Italians. MAELBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) JUVENILE MEMBER OP TIIE SWELL MOB, AND AT TEMPTED RESCUE.—John Agar, an urchin 10 years of ago, and very respectably dressed, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with stealing a pocket hand kerchief from Mr. James Hawkins. During the examination the prisoner, who evinced much shrewdness, at intervals riaeu'ated with much feeling, " Oh, it will break my poor mother's heart to hear that her son is charged with such an offence," and to give PfEset he stamped on the ground and pretended to tear his hair. Mr. LONG asked if the boy was known ? Inspector Mason said he bad been several times con victed of picking pockets, and bad undergone various terms of imprisonment. He was one of tr.ose 3ouog sters belonging to the swell mob, who, endcr the guise of their extreme youth and respectable vppelrance, ef fected many of the omnibus robberies. The prisoner was committed for trig'. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. There was little lile in the Produce markets, but p ices continued firm for all the leading articles, and the quantity pressing for sale was still light. The Imports Lr, on tLe increase. TEA MARKET.

Cotton Goods, printed and coloured.—No importa tions during the week, and the demand for long cloths, r! grey shirtings continues, although not quite so brisk ; most of the junks having taken their depar ture. Considerable sales however, have been effected, but no improvement in prices has taken place.

Cotton Goods.—Bengal and Madras piece goods continue very dull. Opium.—Bengal. Since our last, the Clown, Ma riam, and Governor Doherty, have arrived from Cal cutta, bringing in all 805 chests of Patna and Benares, which, with the supply per Kitty and Coringa packets, makes the imports during the last ten days about 1,500 chests. On the arrival of the Clown, on the 4th, Patna was sold at 275, and Benares at 265 D cash. Exchanges on London.—Private Bills at six months sight have been negotiated at 4s. 9d. to 4s. 101. on Calcutta. The Treasury is closed, and private bills at thirty days' sight have been sold at 222 and 22 1 .. We have received the Antwerp paper of yesterday's date. BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, SEPT. 7.—The fall of the Funds in London and Paris caused some sales of inte- grates, in consequence of which the prices receded ; the other national funds did not sustain the prices o yesterday. Little business was done in Ardoin's Spa. ;Ash, which remained at 21 1-16 to 4. We have received Valparaiso papers to the 14th June, but they do not contain any news of im portance. Exchange on London, 45 pence per dollar ; on Paris, 4 francs 90 cents. Accounts from Bcmbav state the failure of Moolna Imadjee Adamjee, an extensive dealer in metals, &c., at that place, to the extent of about 600,000 reals. Most of the principal brokers are creditors in amounts varying from 20,000 reals to 14,000 reals. It appears, according to the accounts received this morning from Manchester, very erroneous statements have been made in respect to the amount of the failure of Mr. Forth, which has been greatly exaggerated. It is stated, on good authority, that his failure will not exceed 60,0001. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNESDAY. The sales to-day are 3,000 bags, chiefly of American descriptions, to the trade ; prices on the whole steady.

THE FUNDS. The accounts received this morning from the French capital are of a more favourable description than was anticipated ; it appears that order has again been re stored for the present, in consequence of which the British Funds opened this morning at 88-1 for the Ac count, which price they did not maintain long, and re ceded to 87i 88 ; Money 87A -a ; Exchequer Bills 10 12 prem. ; India Stock 247 ‘ - ..>.49.

The Cowasjee Family, Lady Hayes, and Omega, we understand, had been attacked in one of the ports on the East coast by a fleet of about twenty-five war junks, and so effectually, that they had been compelled to shift their quarters, and betake themselves to some less dangerous neighbourhood, they were followed by th junks, but lost s;glit of in a fog. In this affair the junks arc reported to hare approached within musket shot of the smugglers, discharging their broadsides in tolerable style. The Cowasjee, it appears, had the boats on her quarter knocked to pieces, her rigging cut in several places, and her sails full of shot holes. She firing in return forty rounds of large shot, besides grape and canister, but the extent to which the Chinese suffered was only guessed at, and did not appear to be serious.

A CAT WITHOUT A TAIL.—A case of some import.was beard yesterday at Worship -street Police- office. i‘ e on was the presiding Magist ra t e . )! r. Chambers, the barrister, was engaged for the complainant, nicr. Brought and Mr. Charles Phillips for the defendant. It was an adjourned case, originating in a charge against an ex-po liceman for an act of felony, which, according to the 7th and Bth of George IV., subjects the offender to twelve months' imprisonment , and also to be publicly or privately w hipped, at the discretion of two Magistrates. According to the report sent to us the case ex c it e d great i nterest. Th e complainant, Mr. Field, a chemist, in Brompton (or rather Mrs. Field), had lost a cat without a tail, which had the title of " My Lord ;" advertisements were inserted in the newspapers, offering a reward for his re covery; an:inspector and constable were employed for days in tracing out his Lordship ; and the two learned counsel already mentioned were retained to argue the case.

RVENINTg. EniTIONA LITERATURE. THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF AGRI: CULTURE. In this number there is an article on bone-dust, and as this species of manure is now used to a vast extent it may be proper to direct the attention of our agricultural readers to the system of adultera tion which is very generally practised. Saw-dust, slaked lime, and numerous other ingredients, are now mixed up with the manure. The writer pro perly warns farmers against this imposition, as in some instances the admixture not only destroys the nutritive qualities of the bone-dust, but is most in jurious to turnip seed. It appears that, indepen dent of the immense quantity of bones yearly col lected in Britain, a very large amount from foreign countries is used. In 1523 the declaredvalue of bones imported was 14,3951., in 1837 it was 254,6001. and since that has probably been doubled. In the paper " On the Agriculture of the County of Cork," there are some curious details of the manner in wh ch farmers are robbed at Cork market by a set of men termed brokers, who, by the most un fair means, regulate the market. " The present cattle and pig markets," says the writer, " are a dis grace to the city of Cork, or to any town having, any pretensions to civilization." The advice to those unfeeling persons who chain up dogs for months together, and thereby often bring on mad ness, we recommend to their perusal. THE ARISTOCRACY. The following lines are extracted from " A Satirical Poem," addressed to the Aristocrdcy by one of the Democracy. The little work displays good sense and some skill in rhyme, but contains very little of that quality which could entitle it to the epithet " satirical." The circumstances of the author, however, plead in his behalf, and the best advice we can give him is to cm ploy, first of all, his leisure time in removing one of he disadvantages under which he labours—the want of !ducation. " I trust," he says, "the critic (if there be one who may deem my humble production worthy his notice) will reflect that I appear before him for the first time, under ninny disadvantages ; that I am a young, poor, and uneducated man, and that my only leisure is the short intervals I have from labour." The lines are addressed to one of that class who imagine that all below them were made only for their luxury and ease : " Proud pm:tweed man, but turn thy scornful eye Upwards, and view heaven's dazzling canopy ; Thick - what's beyond the farthest roiling star, That glitters in the boundless realms afar Think round that spark, which thou eanst scarce discern, Peopled like ours, stupendous worlds may turn ! Think to the universe how small a part Is this fair earth, then ponder what thou art : A futile thing—a poor frail worm of clay,' Spite of thy pride, proud man ! will Reason say ; So will thy conscience, if thou have one, speak, Raise the deep blush of shame upon thy cheek ; And thou wilt wear a less imperious brow ; For as an atom '4ainst the world art thou! COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—Iier Majesty and Prince Albert have not taken their usual drive to clay. The Countess of Charlemont and the lien. Miss Cavendish took a carriage airing in the Park this morning. Lord W. Russell is expected at the Castle to-day. Sir James Clark arrived this morning and will leave he Costic this evening. . Mr: H. T. Ryaal was permitted yesterday the honour of submitting to her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert,and her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his elaborate outline from Mr. Hayter's great picture of the Coronation of her Majesty, previously to its being transferred to the steel for the engraving. Its unusual dimensions and exquisite finish were highly complimented by her Majesty and the Royal party. The Royal Dinner Party at the Castle this evening is exnected to include the Duchess of Kent, the Princess of Hohenlohe, the Princess Therese, Countess of Charlemont, Lady Charlotte Dundas, Baroness Spaeth, Hon. Miss Cavendish, Hon. Miss Cocks, Baro ness Lehzen, Madame de Hugel, Lord Lilford, Earl of Surrey, Viscount Melbourne, Hon. Sir W. Lumley, Colonel Wemyss, Major-General Sir E. Bowater, and Mr. Francis Seymour. The Queen will hold a Privy Council ta-morrow afternoon at Windsor Castle. The Duke of Sussex came to town yesterday after noon, to pay a visit to the Princess Augusta. His Royal Highness remained at Clarence House, St. James's, half an hour, and left shortly before six o'clock, on his return to Wimbledon•park, the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Somerset. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Duke of Cambridge, also visited the Princess Augusta in the course of the day. The following account of the health of her Royal Highness was issued yesterday : The Princess Augusta has passed another restless and disturbed night. There is no material change in her Royal High ness's symptoms. " Clarence House, Sept. 9." The inquiries at Clarence House, St. James's, yes terday were very numerous. Some of the Nobility came from their country seats to learn, personally, the state of her Royal Highness. Among those entered on her Royal Highness's list, yesterday, were the Swedish Minister, the Netherlands Minister, and Madame De del, the Sardinian, Portuguese, and Hanoverian Minis ters, the Danish Charge d'Affaires, and Countess Bilk Brahe, the Duke and Duchess of Somerset. Duchess of Inverness, Marquis and Marchioness of Winchester, Count Reuss, Countess of Mount Morris, Viscount. and Viscountess Gage, Viscount Lake, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Mary Lady Petrc, the President of the Royal Aca demy, Lady Shelley, Lady VV oolmore, Miss Flanrey, Sir Charles and Lady Bagot, Sir George Shee, Rev. Dr. Kuper, Lady B. Pechell, Mrs. Dawkins Pennant, and Mr. and Mrs. Granville Bet keley. Her Serene Highness the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, accompanied by the Princes Ormond and Gus tavus, and the Princesses of Saxe Weimar, and attended by her suite, left Marlborough House, at six o'clock yesterday morning for the Tower, and embarked from the Queen's Stairs in the Ocean steam-packet for Rot terdam. Her Majesty the Quecn Dowager left Marlborough House at half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon in an open barouche and four, with outriders, for her resi dence, Bushy House, Bushy Park. Her Majesty visited the Duchess of Gloucester at Gloucester House in the afternoon previous to her departure. Sir W. Colebrooke, Mr. Holmes, M.P., and Mr. Alexander Barclay, had interviews with Lord John Rus,cll yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Spanish Minister transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. ESTIMATING DIMENSIONS.—ChiIdren ofte read, and arc often told, of certain things being so many feet high, or broad, or long—nay, they can often speak of such dimensions, in answer to questions ; yet, in point of fact, some of them know little of actual a dmcasurcrnent. A Loblernan one day asked a child at school if ho knew how large a lion was ? The child answered. " Sometimes four feet high." " Very good," said his Lordship, " now, if such a lion were to come here, how large would be look ?" " Ob,why, Sir, he would be as big—as big as this room !" This knowledge of words and ignorance of facts confirms what I have often stated, that it is very advisable, in every place where there are children, to have a standard line painted up the wall, and also aloug the wall, divided into yards, feet, and inches, to enable them to judge of Eml/ chsaui the motley Is owing C imßi bifi o rlo i rigAtu r sl y utet Nni measurement.
