ALL ENGLAND, TEN POUNDS TO A CROWN. SHALDER'S FOUNTAIN PU MPS. The most povserful. in ,the world, with which a man of stone weight can raise .an imperial barrel of water forty ;es feet high in a minutes but with no other Pump yet tried a minute and a-half. Their practical gain is most extraor inary, seldom beloW 70, and more frequently above 100 per it., taking the average 'of the results of every altitude from Foot to 100 feet high. - This remarkable gain in the art of sing water was effected in the simplest manner possible, mg merely by substituting a rolling instead of a sliding prin. le for Pumpk, by which their friction and leakage was abo led, after the tens of thousands of bootless attempts that had been made by the ablest mechanics in the world for 2,000 years. ;For a long time after this immortal invention was publicly itroduced, a host of bullying novices insulted society by pre icting that it would prove limited_ and frail, who are now ivellii.g about that their trade would be ruined, because iuntain Pumps prove 300 per cent the most durable ;she •r used by the power of man, horse, or steam, and They are economical 41 invariablo in their action, ihat they corn only perform fait maltsters, brewers, and dyers for years with the least ex,pensu or the slightest 'variation. Also, so re sarkably simples' that smiths, millwrights, wheelwrights, car enters, &c., as well as hydraulic engineers, successfully um . - lertake their fixing and reparation., neither are Fountain 'lmps retarded, 4hoked, nor injurectl3l occasionally delivering . few tons of sand, although a very little of that material soon deranges and seriously damages the best Friction Pumps. Slowly indeed, the art of raising water approached perfection 4,000 years ago. The beautiful Miss Rebecca brought up water from a R ell in a pitcher upon her shoulder for her sweetheart's camels. Since then appeared the four principles, namely, two limited, and two unlimited principles., two of them sliding principles; one44viral principle, and dnit i it s rping principle. The Chain-pump in aci - iOn itArect and simple ; but by friction and leakage very defeCtiye and dreadfully uncertain , and from its numerous parts highly complicated. The Chain pump is a combination of inefficient expensive lumber—a limited sliding principle. • . 2d. Archimedes' Screw-pump is founded upon a brilliant idea; but its applicability is very confined—a limited spiral principle. 3d. Tesibies' Pipe and Poker Pump, or the Athenian Squirt. This is the root and principle of 'all Piston and . Pyyltder Pumps, under every name and modification. All Pumps.upon this plan are of necessity bad beyond remedy, and stupid indeed must they be who expect the contrary, because mostly above two-fifths of the labour employed is entirely wasted by their friction and leakage, and when accurately tested against the new principle, always prove to be but contemptible machines. Nevertheless these imperfect Pumps stood unrivalled for the last 2,000 years—an unlimited sliding principle. 4th, and last, Shalder's Pump appeared and made laughing stocks of the other three Pumps, and exalted the art of raising water to a science. The Fountain Pump is neither more nor less than the Pump made absolute, because without an s coverable s coverable defect or imperfection, it possesses every ess ial property for the purpose intended in the highest degree. AN UNLIMITED ROLLING PRINCIPLE. Dr. I3irkbeek. President of the Mechanics' Institution, Len don, says the Fountain Pump is free from the liabilities and defects of the common Friction Pump, and approaches a perfect Hysiraulie Machine. The Vice-President, Professor John Millington, Esq., F.L. S., published a work in 1830, and therein makes a rash, false, foul, and silly assertion, that the new principle is limited, and although, from its diminished friction it has its advantages in some cases, it cannot be used for great elevations. Never theless, Fountain Pumps prove equally durable for lifts above as below one hundred feet. Millington might surely have known that flexibility was no proof of frailty, nor rigidity of durability. The rigid teeth of mamma and her four sisters were mostly gone, but their flexible tongues remained in full activity when their ages, united with their only brother, exceeded five hun dred years. And the Connectors or (flexible Cones) in Foun tain Pumps prove also not only surpassing durable, but almost indestructable. 1, - . 't . ~ ~, CASES SUFFICIENT. Thirty Fountain Pumps, that cost above 1,000/., have net cost 2/ per year for all the connectors, though twenty-four of them, from fifteen to one hundred feet long, are used to water the public roads from Wymandham to Aylsham, and at Yarmouth. A Treble-acting Fountain Pump at Diss brewery (horse power), the connectors lasted five years, lift one hundred feet. N.B. tis the packing that scrapes up the water in the old Pump that wears out. And it is the connector that rolls up the water in the New Pump that wears out. Mark the next two cases, both Pumps having done the same work. -- A Single-acting Fountain Puirn at Messrs. Horton's, dyers, Norwich (manual power). Here the connectors of the New Pump last four times as long as did the parking of the old Pump it superseded. A Double-acting Fountain Pump at Messrs. Stark's, dyers, Norwich (steam power). Here also the packing of their old Treble-acting Pump (superseded) used to last about three months, now the connectors of their new pump last above six teen months. This noble machine has nor cast Ss. a year for connectors, though constantly at work, and delivers eight im perial barrels of water per minute, PRACTICALLY PROV ING THAT IN SKILFUL HANDS THE NEW PRIN CIPLE IS DECIDEDLY THE MOST DURABLE. The Seven Road Fountain Pumps, fixed early in I 83S, be tween Norwich and Aylsham, have not cost a shilling, nor varied in effect. The Ten Friction Pumps (alias Pumplings) mixed with them, have often been repaired, and the other day not one of them would answer the helm—so much for comparative frailty. EFFECT. At the many fair trials made by man, horse, and steam power, the rolling principle beat the eliding principle, upon an average, nearly eighty per cent., in raising water, 10, 20, 30, 45, and 70 feet high, and volumes of testimonials, by land and sea, certify similar results. But, whereas there are still many novices striving hard to perpetuate ignorance and the Athenian spurious Pump in pre ference to the New English genuine Pump and common sense, pretending that they can make miraculous friction Pumps with out friction, Therefore, let us at once corn. to deeds to try the spies-, Lion, and shame the fool who first cries " Hold, enough.' CONDITIONS OF PROPOSED TRIALS AGAINIT TIME. Take four Pumps of the Old Plan, and four Pumps of the New Plan, with mechanical parts alike, and so adjusted that a -man of ordinary strength may exert his full force, and raise with out stopping nine imperial barrels of water five feet high, three barrels fifteen feet, one barrel fifty feet, and nine imperial gallons of water 200 feet high, or over the London Monument. The number of seconds required with one pump less than with the other, will be its gain in time and labour. The competitors should find the pumps and the public the p►pes, in order to prove that engineers of the old school knew as much about raising water as sucking monkeys. Well, after all the stupid,' lying, and even destructive oppo sition (Newmarket to wit), the graduated scale of the Foun tain Pump is practically and successfully carried out from the delivering of a single pint of water per stroke to the delivering of 6,000 imperial gallons of water per minute. And now to congratulate all nations upon the complete suc cess of an invention of boundless and undying utility, which nature bars surpassing, is highly gratifying To the World's • Obedient Servant and Instructor, W. SHALDERS. See Mechanics' Magazine, March 19, 1836 ; Sun Paper, Sept. 21, 183$; and Norwich Mercury, June 28, 1839. Bank Place Norwich, March 26, 1840. P.S.—No work is worse done than that of raising water. Respecting force and resistance both town and country Pump-sialters seem most gloriously ignorant. I inquired of two men pumping, between London-bridge and the Tunnel, bow long? t took them to fill their siz-barrel wa t er cart, lift thirteen feet —Answer : About seven minutes, quick welting.

' that theocracy, or any government which takes for its basis the laws and precepts of the Bible, does not appear to be the best of all possible Governments. But if these objectors were to read the Bible in order to know the truth, they would find that when, in the phrase of Scripture, the Lord was with the Judge, and they lived according to the pre cepts of morality contained in the Divine code, the providence of God was with them; and thus ',hey were delivered out of the handeef their enemies all the days of the Judge. But ' the se deliVerings were but temporary relief, for the people became anarchists.' rruly so; but it should be remembered that when this was the ease they had forsaken the worship of God, and had become, like these writers, worshippers of an imaginary phantom, which they called Nature; every man doingt hat which was right in his own eyes. " Those who explain this holy book, not only assert, but prove, that the Bible is an unerring rule of faith and manners." When they look at the visible creation, they are constrained to believe that it could not create itself; and therefore they admire those expressions " in this holy book," which assert the eternal Power and Godhead of the Creator. The heavens de clare the glory of God, and the firmament sheweth his handy work ; and thus they believe that the Bible is an unerring rule of faith, that it declares the existence of God the Creator. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth ; and that " Nature," she god of these calumniators of the record of truth, is but the servant of God : I will affect the heavens, and the heavens shall affect the earth, and the earth shall affect the corn and wine, and the corn and wine shall affect Israel, says the sacred writer. That the Bible is also `an unerring rule of manners,' is so obvious, that I need not refer the reader, nor can I fully, sinless I transcribe a great part of this " holy book." The objectors may turn to the following pas sages, in order to confirm it, 1 'rim. ch. iii.

Although the want of such places is universally admitted, and has for a long time been a subject of complaint, yet hitherto comparatively nothing has been undertaken to remedy the evil, while the great increase of buildings has entirely de prived the people of their ancient bathing places, which is the reason why so few persons, brought up in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, oan swim, and consequently the primary cause of the fatal accidents which are so frequently occurring on the river. The benefits to be derived from bathing, as regards the pre servation of health, and the prevention of numerous diseases so prevalent in crowded cities, cannot be questioned; and it is equally evident, that if it be more necessary to one class of society than another, it must be to the working classes, many of whom have to earn their daily bread by noisome and un healthy occupations; yet at present there are no places within a reasonable distance of London where they can bathe,—the prices of admission at the tepid baths lately established, and of the others at present in existence, placing them beyond their means. The above evil this Society proposes to remedy by the estab lishment of large and convenient floating baths, to be moored in eligible situations on the Thames, to be under the superin tendence of proper persons, competent to give instructions in the art of swimming, preference being given to members of the Waterman's Company. Separate Baths from those to be used by adults, will be pro vided for boys. In order that every man and boy in London may adopt this healthy habit, the charges for Bathing will be as moderate as possible, namely, from one penny to three-pence each person, and no extra charge will be made for going on board and re turning. The calculations that have been made show most satisfac torily that these moderate prices will afford an ample remune ration to the Members of this Society for the capital em ployed; indeed, they lead to the opinion, that a larger dividend may be anticipated than that which any other Company has hitherto paid. Prospectus and further , particulars tnay be obtained, on per sonal appliceion between the hours of ten and four, or by letter prepaid, at the Company's Offices, No. 15, New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, where applications for Shares also may be made.

In the absence of the President, Mr. Alderman Thompon, al. P., Thomas Weston, Esq., was called to the chair. The report of the Committee was then read, from which it appeared that the Society was advancing in influence, and that as it was now properly appreciated by the gentlemen connected with Christ's Hospital, its means of utility had proportionably in creased. The receipts during the last half-year amounted to 4631., while the expenditure was within 117/. of this sum, in cluding among other items, 631. in pensions, and 13.5/. in tem porary relief. The amount• of stock standing in the names of the Trustees was 4,700/. Three per Cent. Consols, the interest on which was appropriated exclusively to the payment of pen sions. The Society was likewise in possession of a reversionary property of 1001., bequeathed to it in 1833. The Report having been adopted, a variety of resolutions were passed, on the motions of Mr. Hughes, Mr. Stanton, and Mr. Jesse ; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. . TH E PROVOST. —IS It not extraordinary that some of the heads of the Church encourage a base and apos tate slanderer in its obscene and infamous attacks upon the per son of so high a functionary as the Provost of Trinity Col lege ?

The proceedings of the Aggregate Meeting this day--a report of which we desire to circulate as speedily as possible—prevent us from offering any animadversions on the article in question to-day. We hope, in our next, to do justice to the Provost, and to execute justice upon Jeremiah.—Dublin -Evening Post. . LANCASTER PROTESTANT ASSOCIATION. (From the Lancaster Guardian.) On Tuesday evening last the first meeting of this Association was held in Lancaster, in the Boys' Na tional School, Green Area. The principal speakers on the occasion were the Rev. Hugh Stowell, o f Man_ chester, and the Rev. Hugh M'Ncile, of Liverpool. So great was the curiosity to hear those very notorious Anti-Catholic divines, that the building was nearly filled. A great number of ladies were present. Tile Rev. John Manby, Vicar of Lancaster, filled the chair, and upon the platform were several of the leading mem bers of the Heart-of-Oak Club. Several clergymen of the town and neighbourhood were also on the plat form. The interest taken by the meeting i❑ tho pro- ceedings, may be gathered from the circumstance that, upon the first resolution being put, not more than a hundred hands, we are assured, out of seven or eight hundred, were held up for it. The first resolution was mored by the Rev. J. N. 0. Armytage, and seconded by T. J. Knowlys, Eq. It was as follows : That the peculiar circumstances of the country loudly call upon all who value the civil and religious tiberty secured to Englishmen by their Protestant Con stitution, to join in the formation and support of Pro testant Associations." Mr. Knowlys expressed his hope that " the rags of Popery which might yet be remaining in the Church" would be cast off, an allusion which did not appear to be very well relished by the meeting. The Rev. H. STOWELL followed, and addressed the meeting for two hours on the enormities of the Church of Rome. We have only room for a passage or two : " When they saw: c a statesman as Sir Robert Peel glorying in hi shame, avowing that he re garded the share whi took in the repeal of the Catholic Bill as the most glorious act of his life, though he passed that Act in the face of his own recorded con victions, what could they think ?—(Applause.) Sir Robert had often before stated that no liberty ought to be granted to the Catholics, for the stability of the con stitution was incompatible with it, and yet in defiance of that declaration he had bent down at the side of expe diency. For himself he (the speaker) would never so betray his trust.—(Great cheers.) They must trust in themselves. The Christian public could not again put the ark of God in the keeping of Sir Robert Peel, and they must never rest satisfied till they had obtained the repeal of the Emancipation Act." After stating that Mr. O'Connell deserved to be banished from England quite as much as John Frost, Mr. Stowell said— " If Sir IL Peel refused to afford the necessary re lief, then they must look out jor other leaders, but Pro- testants they must have.—(Applause.) A mournful struggle had to be passed through. The Repeal Act had completely destroyed the Conservatives as a party, r. d he doubted whether they would ever recover their influence, until, like the prodigal son, they confessed their sins against heaven,—(Great cheers.) He was well aware that all this would be called by some wild fire—mere enthusiasm—but he should not be moved by such reproaching." A bigoted Catholic was, in his estimation, far better than an Anti-Catholic latitudinarian.—(The Rev. Gen tleman resumed his seat amidst rapturous applause, by reading the following resolution " That the peculiar tenets of the Church of Rome, as defined and settled at the Council of Trent, are, when tried by the only true standard of Holy Writ, Anti-Christian, idolatrous, anti-social, and calculated, we firmly believe, in the event of their prevalence, to draw down the Divine judgments upon the nation." E. D. SaLisvurtY, Esq., seconded the motion. Mr. Stowell and his colleagues had been stigm Aised as fire brands, but he regarded them as beacons. The only hope of dispersing the clouds that obscured the horizon, was the repeal of the Emancipation Act. Conserva tive Associations had done much, but more remained to b e a ccomplished, which he hoped this Association would complete.—( Applause.) The Rev. H. M'NEILE, who seemed to be regarded peculiarly as the star of the evening, was received with immense -applause. A very natural doubt seems to have occurred to the holy man— " He could fancy there were some who did not agree with them, who did not participate in the enthusiasm which had been expressed that evening. He could easily suppose there were some there present ready to say, not out loud, but within themselves, this was after all a very fine speech, but is that the way to do'? Is it right to abuse Popery in such a fashion? Does not such language tend to establish Roman Catholics in their ignorance, to confirm those who think it is the true faith in their opinions F.! This very pertinent question the Rev. Gentleman by no means attempted to answer. We should like to know whether the so-called Protestant Associations ever made a single convert from Romanism. The chief actors at our Exeter-hall exhibitions are men by no means deficient in powers of assertion ; and we may take it for granted that if the M'Ghces, the O'Suilivans, and the M'Neiles had ever, by any chance, succeeded in abusing a Catholic into Protestantism we should have heard of it by this time. From all that we have heard we think that their " ingenious devices," their misrepre sentations, and their scurrilous attacks upon the " an cient faith," arc much more likely to confirm both Ca tholics and Protestants in their respective prejudices. " He was one of those," Mr. M'Neile said, " who warred for peace.—(Applause.) lie would proceed to illustrate what he meant. There was a statement in the Holy Scriptures contained in a very few words— ' God over all blessed for ever.' Suppose now a Socinian —he might take liberties in that room, for he knew no• body, and could not be r.ccused of personality—suppose now the case of a Socician. He might be told, Do not offend a brother ; do as you would be done by ; charity, remember, is one of the principal virtues. Well, he passed over that part of the Bible. He met with ano ther brother the next day ; again the entreaty came to him to be a man of peace ; charity, he was reminded, was the golden rule, and it was his duty to say nothing to wound the feelings of a stranger. He met with another brother the third day. He passed over whet ;gas calculated to pain him, and sn to avoid giving dis turbance to the feelings of any one, he was compelled at last to leave the Bible at home.—(Great applause.) What, then, is to be done ? In the sense of the Bible pure charity is love. But one branch of love is, thou shalt in anywise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.' If we see a brother involved in un unbelief, drunkenness, or theft, how shall we manifest our love ? Shall we say nothing to offend him ? How arc we to prove our love to an offending brother, by giving no outward sign of our love, or by rebuking him ?" " He would supply a simple test—Go out into the street, and you observe a few children at play. One of them curses and swears horribly. Is he the child of one of whom you know nothing? Look again. The young backslider is your own offspring. You love peace, you love your own child. Do you pass by the offence ? D.) you leave your own child ? No. And why ? Because he is your own child, and you do love him. You now sec the meaning of charity. The miscalled forbearance to wards the other was, in plain terms, indifference. They wanted to treat the Roman catholic, as they treated their own children.—(Applause.) Their liberal friends, on the other hand, wanted them to treat them as they would do the stranger child. It was a favourite saying with the new fashionable school, who had found out the way to be exceedingly kind by being exceedingly cour teous, How can you presume to say that the Roman Ca tholic is wrong, and that you arc undoubtedly in the right ? He did not presume to say anything of the kind ? but it was the Bible that said so.—(Applause.) When God had spoken, what would have been intolerance without his Word, became infidelity with it. Another passage : " He regretted to see the opposition made by the Dissenters to the attempts to expose and put down Catholicism. They wtrc preparing the way for their own destruction. They reminded him of the e - vin who had mounted into a tree, and perched himself in one of the branches which he wanted to remove. He set to with all his might to saw it off, and he discovered, as it was falling, that he had seated himself on the wrorg side of the. saw.—(Laughter.) Do our countrymen wish to sup on new horrors ? Mr. M'Neile will tell them, then, that the College of Cardinals are at the bottom of all the Socialism and all the Chartism in the country ; and that moreover the holy fathers personally superintended the issue of inde cent prints, for the purpose of distracting England and bringing in Popery. Mr. M'Neile, who attributes indec !nt prints to Popery, and Mr. Stowell, who attri butes to it our late defective harvests, remind us of the old question— ' " Who makes the price of corn and Luddites rise? Who fills the butchers' shops with large blue flies? The answer, of course is, the scarlet lady of Babylon. " Now that Popery is regaining its ascendancy, in decency prevails in this nation. Look at the shop windows—see the number of petitions with which they are filled—consider the indecent publications of Social. ism, with their bold, bare-faced denials of the doctrine of man's responsibility. It might be said these, things had nothing to do with Popery, but he contended they had. To distract England was the great scheme of the Catholics. The indecency introduced into England was very distracting. It was so disgusting, that the ministers of religion could not hold it up to reprbbation in their public assemblies, and many of their Magistrates were so, exceedingly liberal, that they would not put it down. They said, if you attempt to put down y, you excite sympathy in its favour. Toe blgjaasgPthstermates would not prosecute, the clergy dare not, and they were left without resource:' Our Tcry friends, who must have remarked the cc pious extracts which our Contemporary, the Lancaster Gazette, is in the habit of giving from the speeches of Alr. O'Connell, will be rather startled at what follows. Every one has been accustomed to hear the conductors of the Liberal press spoken of as emissaries of Romanism ; but we have Mr. M‘Neile's positive assurance that the Conseivative press is more Popish than the other. We wish that our representative, Mr. Marton, could be induced to move in his place in the House for copies of the correspondence (if any) carried on between New street and the Vatican. " When Cranmer and Calvin were carrying on a cor respondence f or un i t i ng t h e R e f orme d Churches of England and Geneva, certain emissaries of Rome passed 4 themselves off as Dissenting ministers, and broke off the negociations by representing the people of England as denying infant baptism. They bud their emissaries out now. Many had got on Conservative papers in the capacity of editors.—(Cheers.) Compare the Conser vative press with the other press, and it would be seen how they trumpeted O'Connel. All he wanted was publicity ; he cared not for exposure.—(Applause.) The Popish press did not publish what was said against him. No speech from Mr. M‘Ghee, or O'Sullivan, his friend Mr. Stowell, or their humble servant himself, ever appeared in their columns.—(Applause.) They would see them all hanged first.—(Laughter.) And why were the Conservative editors so soft? The Col lege of Cardinals was at the bottom of all." A man of greater modesty than Mr. M'Neile might have come to the conclusion, that the rabid effusions of the " No Popery" agitators were refused a place by the Conservative editors, because nobody would read them. Now, Mr. O'Connell's letters, beginning with the often used couplet from " Childe Harold," are generally piquant, racy, and amusing. Our Tory contemporaries know that the heavy malignity of the Irish brigade would soon sink their journals " five fathom deep" in oblivion. Mr. M‘NEfeE proposed the following resolution " That, therefore, the support now given by a Pro testant Government to Popery, in the Colonies and elsewhere, but especially to the Popish College of May nooth in Ireland, by grants from the public treasury, is in our judgment, highly offensive to Almighty God, and eminendy dangerous to the country, and therefore it is the bounden duty of every Christian Englishman to petition , e i e t i omn meeting theng wasinvited t o affirm h discontinuance at a certain hnc of conduct condemned in the resolution was offensive to Almighty God, and dangerous to the institutions of this country. The conduct referred to, was the grant to Maynooth College. They were, as Mr. Stowell had , said, no party politicians, but tney strongly reprobated the grant to Maynooth College. That Institution was founded forty-five years ago by Mr. Pitt, and had been supported by every succeeding Administration till the present day. In expressing their disapprobation of the Institution, they were not expressing an opinion in. favour of Pitt against Fox, Castlereagh against Canning, Peel against Grey, but they were recording their con. , demnation of the encouragement given to infidel_ prin.. : ciples, and appealing against the extravagance of men, as men, to the immutable truth of God, as God.—( Cheers.) All Administrations since Pitt had erred in this matter, all had encouraged that which they had sworn to be opposite in their judgment to the revealed will of God. The men who supported this grant had sworn that these doctrines were damnable idolatry. The following blinking of the ceremonial-portion of the •secoud commandment is very dishonest :—" It was against the word of God to bow down to an image,—Roman Catholics were wrong. He kneW, it was said to be a calumny that they bowed down to images. Now, It was very remarkable that. God said, • "Thou . shalt not bow down to them or worship theni:-. (Vehement applause.) He would put it to any of them before him, whether they did not bow down to them ? He granted, for argument's sake, they did not worship them. The heart of man, debased as it was, could not stoop to adore an image ; but, as if the Su preme had anticipated the ingenuity of . the Roman Catholic priests, it was commanded, Ye shall not bow: do :n or worship it:—(Very great applause.) It might be said, Ido not worship it,' bUt I see your bok bending down, and therefore every Popish chapel was an abomination to God.(ltrense ap plause.) , • . Don't go away,' • said the.,r44er : I charge you with worship.ginii..it:-T4l t did' with -.bowing down to it.' &tuns. away trom. this place, and 30946 priest, Your reverence; the minister that catite st night said that the Bihtc tells us not to worship bow down to an image. How is that consistent with what your reve rence teaches us constantly to do ?' The priest would reply, You fool, the Vulgate says nothing about bow ing down, it says adore;—(Cheers,) did they make the Bible to fit themselves." Thcmistocles used to say that this little boy ruled the world, and he was accustomed to prove it in this way. Athens, he said, ruled the world, he ruled Athens, his wife ruled him, and the little child ruled her. Here is a parallel to the saying of Themistocles— " By the Reform Bill the power is invested in- the hands of the middling classes, and it is for the English majority to counterbalance the Irish tail. As it is the Pope rules England, the Pope is the head of the Ca tholics. Ireland is under the dominion of the Priests, and the Irish Members give a predominance in the House of Commons, the House of Commons rules the Ministers, and the Sovereign is bound to their guidance. He believed before God and his country, that the salva tion of the country was in the hands of Protestantism.• — (The Rev. Orator sat down amid the most rapturous applause, havin4 spoken above two hours.)" A petition against the grant to Maynooth was then agreed to, and the Meeting dissolved, after three times three cheers, the venerable Vicar, in the warmth of his enthusiasm, himself giving the signals SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

(Ti I uusnal E‘KN TlMES.—Thereseems tobe • a iNa. desire ) on the part of the advocates of bank monopolies to fix attention on the present abundance of money, as evidence that such things occur without any increase of the " legal-tender" issues, and that the Bank Directors arc blamed for wet is done by others and which they cannot prevent. The mi,take here committed is in ti:e supposition that any mischief can arise from an abundance of money so produced, unless the Bank, as has been don© heretofore, joins in the race of competition to make money cheep. On this head the public are, for the present, quite secure. No in discretions were committed by the Directors during the period which preceded the granting of the present charter, and they will be equally cautious until the issue of the pending inquiry is known, though the importunities of their proprietors may cause them to launch out again, as they did in 1835, as soon as they feel themselves and their exclusive privileges to be in safety. The difference be tween the excessive and imprudent issues of joint-stock banks and private bankers, compared with those of the Bank of England, is, that the former never lead any pru dent and steady merchant astray, while the Bank is or was followed as a guide, and her increase of issues adopted as the license almost to new and extensive trading. Hence the calamities of 1837, which brought down three of the great American houses, are ascribed solely to the encouragement afforded to those houses by, the Batik Directors, who pressed upon the bill brokers the employment of those large addi tional funds, which were deemed necessary to keep up the dividends, ana which the Directors knew could,. only to augment and stimulate the business of the hot* its question. Let then. he quiet now, and there will--Ittp no, fear of any harm happening. Their polly, t jf at, all, should be to hold back rather than inerew, but any en couragement from them would decidedly bring on -an in crease of the excitement with, probalail at no great dis tance of time, another, panic.. At any rate, they have no right to deduce atty.g.gutuent from the present state of tlko swn favour. tveral sales of English stock for *ols have further declined. The tOi to 4, and that for the Account easy, and the advance of another xohequer Bills raises them to 255. is attributed by some to the notion ;iness of money may be regarded in the foreign house, but the set particular feature.

Much has been.lone in Blackwall, which have also improved, and are at par to I- premium. Birmingham remain at 73 to 7.5 premium, the high price of these shares apparently operating as a bar to speculation. Private letters from Malta bring intelligence respecting Alexandria to the 7th of April inclusive. The plague is still raging there. In Syria there is no movement of the army against the Porte, but, on the contrary, the Egyptian troops are just as they were before the battle of Nezib, at Antab, Adana, Aleppo, and Acre, where there are 12,000 men. Ibrahim Pasha is at Marasch, a little wood-built village eithout inhabitants or bazaar, and the soldiers burn those houses that will not serve for habitation. The regular troops in Syria are twelve regiments of infantry (of the line), eleven of cavalry, five of artillery, and 11,000 man of irregular troops, chiefly horsemen. POST—It is to be hoped any future legislation that may take place in relation to banking affairs will not omit to afford us some better security against loss than we hays) hitherto possessed, through the improvident issues of joint stock banks. There may be evils in many respects con nected with the system, which would appear to bear too hea vily upon the proprietors in three corporations. Individuals have suffered grievously by holding shares in them, but then it is to be recollected, that misfortunes so sustained are the natural fruits of a banking speculation improperly cond.icted ; a speculation into which the capitalist has been so .used most likely by golden-dreams and sanguine expecta tions arising from a glowingly:Voloured prospectus and an imposing list of directors—by a too confident hope of speedily bringing his shares to a profitable market. If shareholders have become the victims of mismanagement and jobbing, what better fate could they reasonably have anti cipated? They have chosen to go deliberately, perhaps deeply, into a concern of the kind, and there are few cases in which insatiable Cupidity was not the ruling motive. The very act of subscribing - a request for shares; or of ex ecuting a transfer for shares, shows that the applicants have willingly entered into co-partnership, and the effect of limiting the liabilities of such persons would be to make them still more reckless thMs they-are. But what is of still greater momentls that the'protection of the public must be diminished if e+cr tlimismnsibilities be regulated upon a less rigorbbs principlettsiVit present. r — Vistlst theslossAhatAll*ASpbn'tbeproprietors of joint stock banki is, in a great degree, loss -ixf their own sect- ing, there are parties who have been involved in the diffi culties of such establishments who have nothing further to do with them than in unfortunately happening to be the holders of their notes, professing to be payable to the bearer on demand, but which are not, in truth, convertible upon any terms. It is nearly a twelvemonth since the Im perial Bank of England in the north suspended its pay ments, and yet the notes it issued have not, to the present hour, been redeemed. The holders of the notes in ques tion, unlike the holders of shares, have not to ascribe their misfortunes, in being so, to any indiscretion of their own. The notes have come into their hands in the ordinary course of trade. They have received them in discharge of their just claims, and, situated as many are, in coun try villages and rural districts it was perfectly impos sible to exercise a judgment upon them, even had they been convinced of the hazardous character of the Bank. The classes who are thus circumstanced ought, for the future, to be guaranteed by the law from similar contingencies ; and it would be well for the interests of the country generally were some security exacted from all persons who have the privilege of issuing notes payable to the bearer on demand. Whatever opinion may be enter tained as to the management of the mass of country is sues, private and joint stock, it mug be clear to every ratio-al mind that irresponsible companies should not be allowed the power of any longer putting out notes; or, if such practices are still to be tolerated, it were only just that a pledge should be afforded before operations arc commenced, that an unsuspecting public have some better security for their good conuuct than Sr. array of share holders who deny their responaibiiity, and assets which (but small at the outset) arc to be frittered away by harass ing, though sometimes necessary litigation. It was settling-day in the foreign funds. The differences of the past fortnight have proved very trifling. Specula tors seem, for the moment, to have almost entirely aban doned this market for the more legitimate enterprise to be found in railway and other national undertakings. Five per Cent. Dutch Stock was dealt in, to a limited amount, at loci to i. Danish at 77A- to 8, and Russian at 114. London and Blackwell Raileay shares closed at # dis. to ,-} prem., Great Western 20 to 21 prem., London and Brighton 8 to 71 dis., Eastern Counties loi to 10 dis., London and Southampton 91 to 104- prem., and South- Eastern and Dover at 33- to 4 per share. Money has become a perfect drug at the Stock .Ex change, and will scarcely command any interest on the de posit of the home securities.

The British Queen takes her departure from Ports mouth to-morrow, for the opposite shores of the At lantic. She no doubt carries out important despatcher from our Government on the subject of the Boundary question ; and it is a matter of considerable interest, to know what effect they arc calculated to produce upon Mr. Van Buren, and the members of Congress advo cating war in preference to concessions. The British Queen carries out orders for American grain ; but we imagine that the general tenor of her advices will not inspire any great hopes among the merchants of New York and Philadelphia, of a speedy revival of their trade with this country. It is with them to set us an example in this respect. d foptheAecount at 90i sent transfer at 90i 9 The Funds closed ra ther beaviry„. ' Consols for pre the contrary, suppc-rted tho 91.
