Such another griping, beggarly class, in fact, is not to be found in the whole community, and the Treasury will , grossly neglect its duty to the public if it grant the prayer of the hop-growers. Let the public mark, too, the impudence of the landowners. The poor deluded little farmers, who have a hard task to make both ends meet, though they practise the greatest industry and utmost fru galiiy, are much to be pitied. They have never had time to study the bearings of taxation. They know they are distressed, and they seek relief wherever it can be found. We can scarcely blame them for their enforced ignorance. But the landlords, the MICKELTHWAITS, the HODGES, and the rest of them, must be acquainted with the operation of taxes, and must know that their rents have been paid out of the money levied by their tenants on the consumers of hops, in the shape of duty. They must know too, that they are asking forbearance from the Treasury, that the tenants may this year also pay their rents. They must too, be aware, that next year the duty of this year will have to be added to the duty of last year, and that there is less chance of the land-renting dupes being enabled to pay it then than now ; and they must be aware, we are afraid—for under similar circumstances, the same thing has happened before—that postponing the payment due, and contracting a loan from Govern ment, will lead to wide-spread and certain insolvency amongst the small farmers. There is always pro perty, however, enough on the farm to pay the landowner's rent, and he generally finds some other dupes ready to take the land, relying on obtaining those prices promised by a so-called protecting law, which they never receive. Race after race, gene ration after generation of farmers, particularly in the hop districts, have been ruined by this very pro cess, and those who now encourage them to memo ralize the Treasury for relief, in order to pay their rents out of money so borrowed, are preparing the way for the insolvency of another generation of hop growers. 'Whether that be so or not, the unusual distress amongst the farmers which is made the ground for the begging petition, is a voucher against the Corn-laws. We have shown in detail that they have enhanced the distress of the hop-grower by enhancing his rent and the expense of cultivating hops. The Times of yesterday published exclusively a long account of a meeting of the South Leices tershire Conservative Association, at Leicester, on Wednesday. That gentlemen should dine together, drink toasts, and make speeches, is quite English, and we rejoice to see a good old custom kept up. At the same time we can see nothing in the speeches of Messrs. HALFORD and PACKE, Lord G. MANNERS and Mr. FARNHAM, worthy of the least notice, much more of filling a page in the Times. These gentlemen with much commend able modesty, rarely open their mouths in the House of Commons, and if they did the Times would wisely refrain from reporting their speeches. We were, therefore, for some time at a loss to know what could make gentlemen, whom the Times treats as bores in the House of Commons, so extremely eloquent at Leicester. We were struck, indeed, by seeing amongst the company Mr. WALTER, late Member of Parliament for Berkshire ; but a light shone on us when we found at the end of the proceedings, and immediately after Mr. FREWEN had given " the Conservative Society of the Borough of Leicester," that Mr. 'WALTER'S health was drunk, and that, in concluding his speech, he drank prosperity to the Tories of Leicester. Mr. WAL- Tmt, we presume, would be glad to represent it in Parliament. person called out, that th e C onserva ti ves meant , at 1 the next electio n , t o sen d s i x C onservat i ves to .Par liament, meaning to turn ou t th e t wo R a di ca l Members for th e B oroug h o f L e i cester, an d rep l ace them by two Cons erva ti ves . W e presume, t h en, that Mr. WALTER looks forward to be one of these Conservative Members. Berkshire is inaccessible ; frorn the Borough of Southwark he has been driven ; and so he coquets with Leicester. The pro 'prietor of a rival journal points the way, and where Mr. EASTHOPE has succeeded it can scarcely be possible, Mr. WALTER probably thinks, that he should fail. Such a project accounts for the long report—ac r.:ounts for the flattering attention paid at Leicester to the 'Members for the county, who are silent in the House of Commons, and whose speeches there are burked, and accounts for the exclusive posses sion by the Times of the valuable historical docu ment. Mr. 'WALTER will, however, hardly suc ceed at Leicester. The upright and honest elec tors there have a mortal aversion to trimmers of all kinds ; they are thorough anti-Churchmen, sticklers for THOROGOOD, advocates for further and exten sive reforms, and they will never di3zrace themselves by selecting the rejected of the Borough, and the would-be-but-could-not of Berkshire, to represent them in Parliament. We are only prevented from concluding positively that Mr. WALTER means to offer himself for Leicester by a thorough conviction, which he seems to share, that the attempt is hopeless. The new mode of divine worship, and the sys tem of civil as well as religious ceremonies adopted by the Chartists of Glasgow, form the most re markable features of all the political movements of the present time. It appears that the Chartists in that city have taken the lease of a Church, and there regularly perform Church service, preach, pray, baptise, marry, and administer the sacrament, without clergymen. According to a report made by a Committee of the body, they have never found themselves in want of preachers, " who have declared to them the counsel of GOD, not in the fashionable rhetoric of the day, but in the simplicity of the Gospel." From all accounts, they appear to be men of a religious turn of mind—well acquainted with the Scriptures, and fully determined not to yield submission to the pre sent arbitrary conduct of the Kirk. They, in fact, say to the clergy, " We can do without you ; you can show us no divine authority for the position you have assumed in society ; and, with the Bible in our hands, from which we have sufficient warrant for our proceedings, we will our selves perform all the religious rites prescribed by it." The Scotch clergy, who, accord ing to the Bishop of EXETER, are no clergy, will find it difficult to gainsay this argument ; and as it is tri I i notes w at all improbable illb eadoptedhythat these new religious doe- England as we ll as Scotla t i h n e i , Chartists o a r e s t a o s b a o y d y i thatn the English Prelates, with all their vaunted rights, acquired by Apostolical Catholic succession, will find themselve s treated with as little ceremony as the successors of JOHN K, OX. It is im possible to foresee what revolutions this new system of administering religious rites may produce, but two things are certain, it will form a bond of union ten-fold stronger than the Charter, and the clergy both of the Church of England and of Scot land will find that their grasping and tyrannical conduct have produced the result. When we see such a meeting as that which was held at &Ti n . burgh but the other day, on Sah'i,ath Funerals, and a religious society like this formed under th e very nose of the Church, for doing away with ail clergy, we may be assured that there is something rotten in Zia gun. LONDON: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1840, We see by a Brighton Paper that the boy growers of Sussex held a meeting at the George Inn, Hurst Green, on Monday last, and agr ze d unanimously humbly to beg and solicit of the T rea sury the postponement of the payment of the last year's hop-duty. Four hundred persons, it is said, attended the meeting, and they all acquiesced in the statement of the memorial, " that the farmers are in an unusual state of distress." On account of that distress, they humbly supplicate to he reliered from their share of the public burdens. In fact, they supplicate to be allowed to hold the public money which they have, as tax-gatherers, coliected from the people, and to use that money without paying any interest on it far a year. This may ap pear a startling assertion, but it is susceptible of proof. There is no doubt that the tax on hops raises the price of hops to the consumers. The hop-growers must, as the rule, and, in the long run, be pail for the expense of growing hops with the ordinary pro fits of stock, otherwise hops would cease to be grown. Of course, the whole of that expense is ultimate.:y paid by the consumers. If, in addi tion to that expense, the farmer has to pay air. ; Government a tax of 2d. on every pound of ho;-, s he grows, he must levy that also on the consumer in the price, or not be paid the expense of cu'Aiva tion, raid the hop culture would decline. It is dear, therefore, that the hop-growers duty on the consumer in the pr levy th e ice of the hops, and, so levying it, they ought to h an d i t over to the Government. Very few farmers most likely ' we believe, now have on hand their last y growth of hops. T'ney were all sold ear s be 'o e the month of May ; th e bulk of them were even sold before last Christmas, and the growers received the price of them, including the d uty, which they levy for the State, from the consumers. In all cases where they have sold their hop, they have actually pocketed the duty ; and n ow , leaded by Sir H. MICKELTHWAIT, and supported ' fly Mr. HODGES, M.P., both of whose last year's 1. :( have most probably been paid out of the very money which their farmers have levied on the beer drinkers, they very intrepidly ask that the money of the State, or rather of the rest of the people, shall be left for another twelvemonths in their Pockets. They do this, too, at the very time when, for theirbehocf, the greatest distress is in flicted on the other classes by the scoundrel Corn laws—a vast and nefarious system of legal plunder, which is defended o n the ground that the farmers are flourishing, a nd that, whatever may become of other interests, that of agriculture must be sus tained. No other class asks for a loan of money or, if it asks, is per t be the State ; r ily denied. No other class seeks to be public burden, relieved from its share of the w h# it inflict a heavier burden than the st ag -- - .._ • / " ) )_,---,- >7.,, , " i r 4- -: / / / THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1840. the system of Ecclesiastical Government even in the republican Church of Scotland. We have on more than one occasion expressed our dissent from the opinions of our Correspondent, " A Commercial Traveller," who writes on banking and money matters ; but, believing him to be a person of considerable acquaintance with these sub jects, we readily give insertion to his communica tions, and place great reliance on the facts he men tions. In his communication, which appeared in our journal of yesterday, there is one very important fact, which, as it makes, we think, against his own deductions, and is in strict conformity with the general progress of money matters, deserves especial notice. He first states, that " the use of bank-notes is superseded to a great degree in all our large cities and towns by bills of exchange and the use of checks." He re fers to the well-known fact of millions in amount being daily settled at the clearing-house in Lon don, without the exchange of a single bank-note ; and he affirms that this cleating system is extending itself to other places. Even the farmer transacts his business by a check-book and a banker's ac count, instead of cramming his pockets with bank notes. He then says— Another most important feature in transacting the business of the present day is to be found in the prac tice which very generally prevails of drawing bills for the amount of an order on the first of the month after its execution, this bill is then sent for acceptance through some bank, and, when accepted, is discounted by this bank, so that instead of our manufacturers and dealers having, as formerly, large capitals absorbed in book debts, this item is now an nonentity, and the tra vellers of many such, when they go their journeys, have not one sbill.ng to receive, and thus the uses of which money k capable is taxed as far as the ingenuity of mau can carry it. This often produces a great pressure for money on particular days, and a greasy laxity on others, giving a very uncertain and irregular character to the money mar ket, and our manufacturers would do well to obviate the inconvenience which this is continually producing by varying their days of drawing. He deduces from this " that there is no connec tion between the state of trade and the amount of bank paper, or bank -notes, in circulation," and, of course proves, if he proves anything, that " bills of exchange," " checks," and " bills for the amount of orders," are now of almost infinite importance compared to the amount of bank notes in circulation ; and that nearly the whole of the trade of the country may be carried on without the use of a single bank note, and be indefinitely en larged or contracted without the slightest aitera- tion in the issues of any bank. If this be a correct statement, as we believe it is, how ineffably ridiculous appears the inquiry of the Committee of the House of Commons into the issue of bank notes, which, except as it may place a few hun dred thousand pounds, more or less, in the coffers of a batch of monopolists, can no longer have the slightest influence on the national welfare, Bank notes are gone out of use for all the purposes of large traffic, though still retained in use for the retail purposes of buying and selling. This theory is confirmed by the present state of the Bank of England issues, and the issues of country banks No person can doubt th a t th e commercial transac tions of England have increased--at least doubled since 1817, but the Bank of England circulation, which was then nearly 30,000,000, is now not 17,000,000. A similar reduction has taken place in the issue of country bank paper, and yet trade has everywhere increased. To form fine spun regulations on the subject of issuing bank paper, to talk about establishing one National Bank of Issue, todevise restrictions on bankers, and compel them, differently from other traders, to give security to the State fur conducting that part of their business which is confined to issuing promis weary slzas cm demand, when ale '1.351.1e of bank notes has ceased to have any important in fluence on the public welfare, on the value of money, or on the extent of trade, is to lock the stable after the steed is stolen. The evil of the issue of bank -notes, whatever might have been its amount, is now at an end. That invention to save the use of money has been mainly superseded by more refined contrivances. The facts stated by our Correspondent are the more to be relied on, inas much as they knock on the head his own favourite nostrum, adopted, however, from Mr. M'CuLLorkt, whose doctrines are daily proved, and very often overturned by new facts—of compelling bankers to find security for the issue of promissory notes. These facts will teach our meddling legislators —if they are not unteachable—a great lesson. The evil they have been troubling themselves to devise a remedy for, which they have uttered more nonsense concerning than would fill many volumes, and have actually filled volumes with their inquiries into it this last Session, no longer exists for any im portant purpose. If they want to control the currency, they must make regulations for deposit accounts—they must make laws for check-books— they must limit bills of eschanc—and bills for the amount of orders—in short, they must inter fere with the most private business of every trader and every banker in the country ; and much as those gentlemen demand regulations and co ercive laws for the poor, they will spurn with much indignation this system of meddling with their private concerns. The gentlemen of the House of Commons, finding they can no longer effect any great purpose by making laws about the issue of bank-notes; and being unable to meddle with checks, will have to stand aloof and see other parts of society, like this of bank -notes, run away from their regulations, and even assume a totally new aspect, while they are deliberating about what they ought to do with a system which has almost passed away. The greatest fool on earth, says Dr FRANKLIN, is a legislator, devising laws. for the regulation of trade ; and his admiral)le and foreseeing wisdom receives " cowfirmation strong," by the singular ex ample of banli.-notes becoming—in a national point of vievv—wholly unimportant. Madrid Journals of the 9th inst. have been duly received. The towns of Barcelona, Segovia, Gra• nada, Salamanca, and Huesca, have all sent their adhesion to the governing Junta of Madrid. This body has suspended the Regency, and ordered the removal of all Magistrates who, by resisting the Constitutional Government, might interrupt the administration of justice. On the Bth a grand re view of the national guards of the capital took place before Generals Rona., LoRENzo, and Lo- PEZ ; and on the morning of the 9th 3,000 troops of the line arrived and declared themselves in favour of the Junta. ESPA RTERO had left Barcelona to join the QUEEN at Valencia, in the hope of pre vailing upon her Majesty to yield to the national wishes before it would be too late. The address of this gallant patriot to her Majesty is given in another part of The Sun. is ene, it is asserted, which is likely to facilitate the almost desperate arrangement of the eastern question —viz., Mehemet Ali consents to accede to the proposal of possessing Syria for his life only. This news is not so improbable as it at first appears from the repeated declarations of MEHE.• AtET ALr • that he would yield to nothing but de feat. The bravados of the PACHA were the natural offspring of his Highness's reliance upon the support of France. Finding, however, that France, in taking up arms, had no intention of de claring war against the Allied Powers, or of re sisting the blockade of Syria, it is probable that the PACHA prudently resolved to yield to a neces sity which, if resisted, must involve himself and his family in one common ruin. TREATY OF COMMERCE BETWEEN FRANCE AND ENGLAND. We are enabled to state, that the British and French Commissioner have brought to a close their negotiations for a treaty of commerce between Great Britain and France, and that it contains seve ral clauses highly favourable to British manufac tures. The very few points which may be considered open are mere technicalities, of no importance what ever. But for the unpleasaut differences which have arisen on the Eastern question, the treaty would have already received the signature of M. Thiers. Mr. Por ter remains in Paris, and there appears to be an under standing that the treaty will be signed the moment the political horizon shall have brightened up.—Galignani's Messenger. TURKISH CABINET.—The following modifications have taken place in the Turkish Ministry :—Rifat Bey, formerly Councillor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and at present on a mission to Mehemet Ali, has been elevated to the post of Sadaret Mustechari (Councillor of the Grand Vizier ; Ali Effendi, pro tem pore Councillor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been definitely appointed to that situation. He is replaced in his office of interpreter to the Divan by Essad Sark Effendi, formerly director of the Moni tear Ottoman; Muhib Effendi, formerly Sadaret Mus techari, of which office he will continue to discharge the duty until the arrival of Rifat Bey, has been appointed Davi Naziri (Minister of Justice) ; Nedjib Effendi, at present filling that situation, is appointed a Member of the Council of Justice, continuing to hold at the same time his office of Intendant of the Sultana Atie. The Moniteur mentions that the Governor of Mar tinique had emancipated 134 slaves on the 21st of May and 26th of June last--viz. 41 males, 52 females, and 41 children ; and that the Governor of Guadalouce had emancipated 35 slaves on the 6th of July last—viz. 11 males, 16 leai!es, and 8 children. DAMASCUS JEWs.—The Temps asserts that Me hemet Ali had anticipated the petition about to be presented by Sir Moses Montefiore and M. Cremieux for the pardon of the Israelites condemned at Damas cus for the murder of Father Thomaso, and had re mitted the sentence, in consequence, as he added of four of the accused having died from the tortures in flicted on them. The Journal du Havre says, " The Minister of War has just announced to the Prefect. of the North, and, doubtless, to the Prefect of the other frontier depart ments, that 56,000 infantry, and 20,000 cavalry will be quartered on the inhabitants of the frontier towns during a part of the year. We are then going to enter on a permanent situation. It is not a state of war, says a Journal of Valenciennes, it is doubtless a state of neutrality.—Le Commerce. A letter from Interlaken, of September 9, in the Observateur Suisse, says— " A terrible catastrophe occurred yesterday on the Harden. Colonel Rowley, son of the Admiral, went yesterday to the mountain with his two daughters and his son, who is still a child, and very impru dently took no guides. When they had got to some height, the youngest daughter, sixteen years of years of age, stumbled and fell down la :precipice. The son and the elder daughter seized with terror fell also, but were so fortunate as to support themselves by layinr , hold of the shrubs till the cries of the rather were heard by a labourer named Goldsedyler, who was mowing at a short dis• tanee. This man, though he had lost an oral, happily succeeded in rescuing the two children from almost inevitable death. Meantime, other per. sons who bad hastened to the spot looked for the youngest daughter. The dead body was brought into Interlaken in the evening."—Moniteur. BOIJR.SE.—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 16. HALF-PAST THREE.—The Market has been brisk, and a great deal of business done. The rise which took place yesterday has been followed by a further rise. The great sales of the last few days have led to repurchases and re. alizations of profits. For the Account, the Three per Cents. opened at 73f., declined to 72f. 75c., advanced to 74f. 90c., and closed at 74f. 75c. ; a rise of if. 75c. The Five Der Cents. npaned. at -1044., 44,15 to '1 04f-: soe-; rose to ion% 7uc., and close at 1061. 25c. ; a rise of If. 45c. For money, the Three per Cents. are 21. 35c., and the Five per Cents. 21. higher. The Bank of France Shares have recovered 150 f., and the Belgian Bank Shares 20f. The Laffitte Bank Shares are as yesterday. The Belgian Five per Cents. have improved i f per cent. ; the Three per Cents. 2 per cent. for the Account —.the latter 641. and Of.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. The Antwerp papers and letters of Wednesday were delivered this afternoon, but btought no intelligence of interest. The Funds were unfavourably affected this afternoon by the receipt of an express from Paris, announcing the continuance of the warlike preparations there, and stat ing that Admiral Stopford had received intelligence of a French vessel laden with stores being en its way to Egypt, and had given orders for its seizure. The only question which need be solved in order to allay anxiety, is whether this French vessel is sent out on private speculation or by the Government. Consols receded from 884 to 881 s for immediate transfer, and from 89 to 884 for time. Bank Stock left off at 167 for the opening ; India Stock at 248 ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. at 974 ; and Exchequer Bills at Bs. prem. Notwithstanding the unsettled state of affairs in Spain, Spanish Active Bonds were firm. They rallied to-day from 22i to 231 ; and Portuggese New Five per Cents. were buoyant at 334 to 32k, and the Three per Cents. at 221 to 221. Co:ombian Stock of 1824 touched at 234, and Mexican of 1825 advanced to 26. Dutch T wo-and-a-Half per Cents. are now full 2i. per cent, better than on Tuesday, Ewing ranged from 51-1 to The Bou7se at Amsterdam was firmer on Tuesday afternoon. Brazil Stock has been steady at 78. Shlres were rather lower this afternoon. The Foreign Exchanges again wore an unfavourable appearaace this afternoon. Bills on Paris were nego tiated at 251. 421 c. to 40c. ; Amsterdam, 12 2 to 11 ; and Hamburgh, 13 8 to 7i. (From' The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY.—The transactions in the Cotton Market to-day are to the extent of 4,500 bags, prices steady. LIVERPOOL SHARE LIST, SEPT. 17.—Eastern Counties 104 ; Grand Junction Quarter Shares New, ; Great Western 84 85 ; Great North of Eng land 47i ; South Western 53i-; Midland:Counties 80. A fair business has been done in the Share Market to-day, and an improved feeling is pea ceptable. We have received Barbadoes papers to the 28th July, and Antigua papers of the 15th. They contain no news. Extract from St. Lucia papers to the 16th July : " The Columbia, stermer, arrived here on Saturday morning, after debarking the detachment of the 52d regiment destined for the garrison at Mon Fortunee, and taking on board a part of the 14th, she proceeded to Rizen Island, and landed the remainder of the de tachment of the 52d." Our speculators in the Funds were rather taken by surprise this morning on learning the considerable rise in the French Funds; a rise was anticipated, but not to that extent of 5 per cent. in the Fives, and 4 per cent. in the Threes. The important inteLigence received by private letters from Malta of the 7th September, that Count Walewski had proposed to Mehemet Ali a project of arrangement which the Viceroy had decided on accepting, has not had, as yet, much effect on the British Funds, as little credit is given to the information.

Dixon, of Waddington Heath, near Lincoln. The fire was observed by one of the servants to issue from a seed stack, and in a quarter of an hour the whole of the stacks in the yard (thirteen in number) were on fire. All the cattle were got out, but a vast quantity of poultry were completely roasted, and served as a dainty meal for those who hid come to render assistance at the tire. A building containing about 500/. worth of wool was entirely con sumed, but fortunately not before it was emptied of its con tents. The large quantity of new thrashed barley that was in the barn was got out with great difficulty, such being the intense heat from the burning mass that persons were much scorched. The wind blew very strongly from the westward. Mr. Dixon, we understand, is in sured in the York and Yorkshire Fire Office. How the fire originated is not at present known, and it is feared will never be satisfactorily ascertained. The stacks de nvcr stack, two small hay stroyed consisted of one large . , I, agricultural stacks, and the rest corn. The whole 01 implements also were consumed.—Boston Herald. NARROW ESCAPE OE THE LORD; OF . 171jE AD:eta/toTr.—The Firebrand man of war steamer, with th Lords of thelAmiralty on board, on her way from Milford to this port, ran upon the Nass Sands on Tuesday morning in thi c k weat h er, and ent i re l y, we areinformed, through the pilot who accompanied her from Milford altering the course before daylight. She struck heavily, although, fortunately for their Lord ships, there wait not much ilea up. She was seen by tho Bristol atarner from Swansea in her precarious situation. We have authority for stating that there was no Bristol branch pilot on board. 'rho Naafi sands are considered extremely dangerous, and their Lord. ships' escape was prellibly owing to the strength of their ship. H a d i t occurre d on the following day, she must have gone to pieces. She struck near the spot where the Frolic was lost, when upwards of 100 souls perished. The Firebrand came up to Cumberland Basin on Tuesday evening, when Lord Minto and the other L')rds took their departure. Sir Wm. Symons, we hear, remained at the Gloucester Hotel, and examined tho iron ship in the Great Western Company's yard on Wed nesday. We hear that the Firebrand is gone to Milford to be put into dock and examined.—Bristol Mirror.

The insurgents have had an action with the Governor, in which they bad 600 killed, 300 wounded, and 400 taken prisoners. The Governor has selected 100 of the prisoners belonging to the richer classes, and has sent them to Travensk, his residence ; the others have been sent to their homes. The insurgents, eight or te❑ thousand in number, have retreated to Serajeivo, where they have barricaded all the streets, and seemed resolved to defend them selves to the last extremity. The Greek aud Roman Catholic inhabitants have taken no part in the revolt, which is confined to Mus sulmans ; they complain of the Governor, who has exe cuted the Hatti-Scherif of Gulhane, in a manner fa vourable to his own interest. The 4,000 Arnauts which the Governor haseollected, entirely lay waste the cou:ltry. They aro encamped at a short dist Ince from Serajeivo.

Her Majesty the Queen Dowager came to Clarence House, and remained till one o'clock yesterday morning. The following account of the health of her Royal Highness was issuod yesterday forenoon : " The Princess Augusta is not suffering so much pain this morning, but her Royal Highness's symptoms have not improved. " Clarence House, Sept. 18.", Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge paid visits to the Princess yesterday morn ing, and remained some time. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, and her Roy al Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, came several times to Clarence House in the course of the day, and had also interviews with her Royal Highness. Sir Henry Halford attended the Princess again last evening, and Mr. Moore is in constant attendance at Clarence House. Lady Mary Pelham and Miss Wyn yard are both in close attendance on the Royal sufferer. The number of the Nobility and Gentry who called yesterday to learn the state of her Royal Highness was unusually numerous.

( From the Scots Times.), The Noddy Church, occupied by the Chartists, which contains at a pinch about 1,500 persons, is now occa sionally found to be far too small for the multitudes who throng to it from all quarters of the city, so much so that the passages, staircases, and every other corner, is sometimes filled even before the hour of commencing the service. We can affirm that this was the case on the afternoon of Sunday last, when we at tended to take notes for the present sketch ; and had it not been for the kindness of one of the managers, we would have had to depart without accomplishing our object. We come now to the rules and management of the Church. On this head it perhaps would be as well to allow the naanager._t. w .— eals to tne • M embers of the C h a r tist Worshipping As sembly," which is drawn up in the form of a Report, printed by the Committee, and which we published at length in this Journal a few months since, we find the fol. lowing passages:— " We commenced, then, in the month of September, in the hall in the College Open, under very promising auspices; and although we have been persevering for these five months, we have never found ourselves in want of preachers, who have declared to us the counsel of God, not in the fashionable rhetoric of the day, but in the sim plicity of the Gospel." " Our Society has been commenced and carried on in the true democratic spirit of the Gospel. . . . We therefore conceive that it is necessary that we should ac knowledge all men equal, and that he that is chief should be as he that doth serve, and that the elder should serve the younger, thus manifesting In all that whatever gifts or graces we possess should and ought to be directed to the cause of God, and exercised fur the good of all." After some statements respecting the election of a chairman and vice-chairman to conduct the sermons, in the event of a lack of volunteers as preachers, the appointment of a precentor and door-keepers, the report proceeds— " Your Committee think it unnecessary to introduce seat letting into your Church. They conceive it breathes too much of shopocracy. They therefore wish to remove this evil also from the Church. The rich and the poor will, therefore, no longer sit distinguished from each other ; all will be welcome. As to the doctrine, your Committee approach this part of the report with great caution, not afraid of encoun tering the difficulties attending such a task, but, in defe rence to the feelings of our brethren who may never have had opportunity of examining and weighing the truths of Divine revelation. We would only recommend the Bible as our exclusive rule of faith—and adopt the advice of the Apostle Paul—" Let all things be done decently and in order." As the affairs of no church can be carried on or con ducted without money, your Committee will depend wholly on the free and voluntary offerings of the people, who may, from time to time, worship along with them. And as the poor have always been the peculiar care, feigned or real, of the church, we recommend that, as soon as possible, a sum will be appropriated for them. Another very important part of our work we would also bring before your notice—namely, the sending of mis sionaries to explain our views, and, if possible, to establish churches in every town and hamlet. The allowance for these shall be left to your own liberality. We now come to the outward ordinances of religion-- namely, marriage, baptism, and the Lord's supper. As to marriage. Your Committee propose that the parties be attested by two witnesses, and united if of pro per age ; and that the ceremony be performed by the Chair man or Vice-Chairman. As to baptism. Your Committee consider that it may be performed at any age. No particular period if life is alluded to in Scripture.. We purpose that the Chaieman perform this duty also. As to the Lord's Supper. Your Committee are of opi nion there is no allusion in Scripture to the frequency of showing forth the Lord's death till he come, we would leave it to the members of the Church who shall assist each other in the solemn service." A host of Scripture passages are then given in support of the views laid down in the report. Then follows an excellent appeal to the members, which is signed by Mr. Malcolm M'Farlaue, the Chairman, Mr. Walker, Mr. Bryan, and others. With respect to one of the ordinances alluded to in the report, viz., baptism, we believe there is not a church in the city where it is more frequently performed. Some Sundays not less than nine and ten children have been named. We do not wonder that the clergy of the Esta blished Churches look with peculiar feelings upon an in stitution such as this. Verily, it may be said, if things continue at this rate, their Dianas are in danger. Like the other individuals who generally officiate in this church, Mr. M'Ewan is a working man, and although possessing few of those qualities which some people think necessary to the occupant of the pulpit, is nevertheless a very powerful preacher. He is no ordinary man. FUNERAL OF LORD MARK KERR.—The mortal remains of this late esteemed nobleman were re moved at an early hour on Thursday morning from Hen -I::,tta-street, preparatory to their interment in the family ._•zhiplake-church, near Henley-on-Thames.

Although entertaining the warmest friendship for the Prince Louis, Count D'Orsay was in utter ignorance of his projects, the Prince never having communicated them to him, a silence Count D'Orsay now regrets, as he would have used every means in his power to dissuade Prince Louis from embarking in such an expedition. Had Count D'Orsay taken the least part in this unfortunate affair he would have passed over in silence the reports on the sub ject a , Paris, originating, no doubt, in his being known to be one of the most enthusiastic admirers of the Emperor Napoleon, and to have lived i n habits of intimacy with nearly all the fr.:tiny.

The money in deposit with them is said to amount t 4 P $15,000,000, and besides they have in their vaults au overabundance of specie. With all this, foreign ex— changes are decidedly favourable to us, and yet trade languishes ; and, as far as our view extends, no mate* vial improvement is anywhere visible. State stocks continue to be much sought for, all ( though the sales at the Stock Board, have been butt limited, private ones to a large amount have been wade I. particularly of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Arkan sas, and almost in ail cases for investment.
