EVENING EDITION. 31MIEY ratiiiii.ET and CITY SEWS. TUESDAY EVENING. CHRO N I CLE. -Th, chief object of notice amongst the leading c apitalists here has been the an nouncement that M. Jaudon had succeeded in nego tiating a new loan with the eminent house of Messrs. Hope and Co., of Amsterdam. The transaction, how ever, appears to'have taken some of our leading moneyed and mercantile men rather by swprise, it having gene rally been c onsidered that the Man lately contracted in Paris would have been sufficient to meet the exigencies of the United States Bank in Europe. The following are said to be the terms on which this loan has been contracted :—The United States Bank undertakes to deposit with Messrs. Hope and Co. state bonds or securities for this loan of 5,500,000 of guilders, or 450,0001. sterling ; Messrs. Hope and Co. taking the loan for the period of five years at 90, and interest at five per cent. per annum. It is well known that by the present charter of the United States Bank it enjoys, under a special clause, the privilege of pa)ing the dividenis in paper upon their stock, until that institution resumes specie payments ; therefore it is considered that this lean has been nego ciated as an essential precautionary measure, whereby it may be rendered in some degree unnecessary to make further remittances of the precious metals to Europe, at the period when that establishment resolves to return to specie payments. At present the United Stares Bank has succeeded in negociating loans to the amount of about 2,000,000 sterling in Europe ; it may, there fore, be assumed that the United States Bank will be tolerably well hedged for specie previous to its resumption. By the last letters from New York it is c onfidently stated that the United States Bank will resume in February next. There was rather more business done to-day in the Continental Exchanges, His were in demand, but not plentiful, and being soon taken, the q uotations rather receded on most of the continental cities from the rates of last post-day. TIMES.—By the advicos from Hamburgh of the 7th inst. % the price of gold is 429 per mirk, which, at the.En giish Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 7, and the exchange at Hambnigh on London at short being 13. 6 4 1 . it follows that gold is 0'.3.5 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mile, which, at the English dint price of 3/. 17s. 100. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.32 i, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25. 27i, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer at Paris than in London. The coarse of exchange at New York on London is 109 i per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng land and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.07 per cont. against England. The Consol-market was flat to-day, owing to a rumour that an increase both in the army and navy is to be recommended in the speech from the Throne, and this, united with the great falling off in the revenue, creates the belief that some mode must be resorted to early in the session for raising money. At present, however, the depression is of no great moment, the closing quo tation of Consols being 90i to for money, and 91i to 4, ex. div., for the February account. Very little business was done to-day. Money was somewhat in demand, though the price of Exchequer Bills remained unaltered. _ _ In the ForPign house no reaction has taken place against the depression in the prices of Portuguese stock resulting from the Queen's speech. The negotiations effected to-day in the foreign ex changes were rather more extensive than for the last two post days. There were some bills on Paris and Am sterdam, which had been received from the United States, in the market, but not to a large amount. Bills upon Amsterdam were in great request, and the rate gather lower in consequence. Paris and Hamburgh were in a trifling degree higher. POST.—Consols declined a little to-day, as well as Exchequer Bills ; both the Stock-markets were, in deed, unusually flat. The same may be said of the foreign bill market, the rates of exchange generally upon the Continent being less favourably quoted than on Friday last. The only novelty we have otherwise to notice in connection with the Money Market is the conclusion of a loan by Mr. Jaudon; on the part of the United States Bank, with Messrs. Hope and Co., of Amster dam. The sum obtained we understand to be five millions and a half of guilders, or 450,0001. sterling, at the price of 90, and an interest of five per cent. per annum ; the money to be reimbursed in five years. Our funds may have boen influenced in some degree by the knowledge of this operation having taken place, as there can be little doubt that the principal part of the amount negotiated will find its way into the hands of the English capitalists. The leading purpose of the loan is, it is supposed, to obviate the ne cessity of making any further importations of metals from the United States, at a moment when the United States Bank are about to resume specie payments. The large shipment which arrived yesterday resulted from an apprehension that existed in Philadelphia lest disho noured bills to a large amount should have gone out by the Liverpool ; but this not having been the case, the return of an equal sum will speedily take place ; but, as the remittances from the Continent, &c., continue large, it cannot much affect the Treasury of the Bank Qt . England. We may instance one remittance which came to hand yesterday. It consisted of a ton weight of bunion, and was sent up to the Bank by the com mander of the Ibiria steamer, from Lisbon. HERALD.—The opening of Parliament on Thurs day now attracts considerable attention. It is thought that even if nothing be said in her Majesty's Speech on the subject of the duties leviable on foreign imports, that the depressed state of trade cannot pass without notice. Should this prove to be the case, it is thought that the question of fr,2e trade may come under discus sion; attended by favourable circumstances, and that measures may be adopted that wtll afford relief to our manufuctureis. In the meantime there is little disposi tion evinced to de business largely, as all parties are desirous to suspend transactions of magnitude until the contents or the speech be known, and some data afforded by the tone of the speakers as to the general course of policy likely to be adopted by Ministers. It is felt that there is no branch of our productive industry the future prosperity of which will not be affected in an unusual degree by the deliberations of the epsuing Session of Parliament. The discussions regarding our Indian possessions, and the re opening of the trade with China, are looked to with much anxiety'by the great body of merchants and shop keepers, and the comforts of the British consumer are deeply involved in their early adjustment. The impor tant questions discussed at the late meeting of the Ger manic Commercial League, which have since been so ably illustrated by Dr. Bowring, are of essential value to our national prosperity, and expected to receive early attention ; while the placing of our commercial relations - with Prance upon a more satisfactory basis is also looked forward to with the greatest interest. Our North American colonies and our relations with the United States are also subjects on which discussion , may be expected. The flush of money which has been felt in the Lon don market since the payment of the dividends still continues, but many persons doubt whether it will not speedily disappear ; others again look confidently for , ward to a continuance of the present state of things ; i and there is thus no little diversity of opinion among capitalists as to the future value of money. Mr.' Jaudon has completed a new loan, to the amount of five millions and a half of florins, with the house of Hope and Co., in Amsterdam—equal to about 450,0001. sterling. This loan has been made under the old authorisation for 800,0001., the negotiations for which vvele broken off when the United Stares Bemis suspended specie payments. The terms show that money is abundant in the Dutch capital—being 3 per cent. bonds to be issued at 90 for five years, and to be then - redeemed at par, covered in the Lean time by a deposit of State Stocks, and 30 per cent. of the amount of the loan being payable in cash, 30 . per -cent. in Pebraery, and 30 per cent. in March next:- If the Bank of the United States will now turn over , a - new leaf, and vetify, by a prudent course of conduct for the future, the serstiments contained in the letter of Mr. Jaudon, which appeared in our City ar ticle yesterday, 'it seems now i,, a fair way to recover from its embarrassments, and to regain its former cre dit. Dirt much will depend upon the directors aban doning the loan and accommodation system, which Messrs. Barings justly allude to as the cause of the difficulties in which that institution had been placed, aid which had hitherto caused them to decline appear ing as its agoras. The low value of money in Amsterdam, and . the certificated remittance of the loan effected by Mr. Jau don, together with the large supplies of specie by the American packets, led to a general expectation that the sate of the exchanges with Holland and Paris would have been favoureble to-day ; but, on the contrary, it will be seen from the quotations below that on Amster dam the rate of exchange is remarkably low, and that on Paris And Hamburg the rates are also flatter. SUN.—The Foreign Exchanges were all lower again this afternoon, the rates en Amsterdam especially, ita consequence of the contract of the new loan in Hol land.. This rate fell to 12 2i ; that on Paris to 25 5,5 ; on Hamburg to 13 9 ; on Frankfort to 150} , and on Antwerp to 12 2i. The Colonial Markets were all brisk this afternoon ; S9gar, Coffee, and Rum were in request, and at im proving prices. The demand for Teas continues, but not at higher rates than yesterday. 'ho English ,*'ock Market left off this afternoon my heavily, prin e cipaily owing to the state of the Ac count fur the approaching settlement. ' Consols for the Account left off at 921 ; for Money at goi ; and for February at 92k.. Exchequer Bills done at 9s. prem. ; and India Bonds at 2s. prom ; Back Stock remains at 1,9. There was a good deal doing , in Spanish and Portu guese Bonds this afternoon. The latter fell to 331 ; the Three per Cents. to 231, and Spanish to 24: 1 ; ; French Five per Cents. receded 4 per cent., and Dutch are a shade lower than they were in the morning. In the Republican Bonds we cannot quote much variation. Shares were in most cases lower also this afternoon. The Brighton receded to Ili- discount ; the North Midland to 81i- Ex New Shares ; the Manchester and Birmingham to 11 discount ; the Great Western to par ; and the Eastern Counties to 111 discount. Bri tish North American Bank Shares were sold at 3 dis count to-day. POLITICAL SITIII3IARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS• The Times of this morning, speculating on the topics likely to be alluded to in the Queen's Speech, observes, with reference to the late Newport riots :—" The hum bler classes of traitors, it wi I be shown, have been promptly arrested ; some of them convicted, and otin•rs put upon their trial ; but wit h in regard to the Gover nment's impartiality, as exemplified tbeimpunity which they extend to the more dangerous Chartism of O'Connell, who is dri llin g his trilliums to repeal the Union by violence , the o dds are that this ticklish topic will be excluded from the Royal Speech altogther, on plea that en allusion to it would be the old political highly inconsenient.' "—The Morning Herald thus alludes to the great Anti-Corn-law meeting at Manches ter :—" This meeting is an important one ; it indicates the renewal of the crusade against native industry, It indicates another step in the great march of social revolution. Let not the landowners and farmers of England deceive themselves in this matter. Tile Anti-Corn-law agitation which is now making itself felt in every part of the country is no passing madness—no transient at tempt at fraud. No : unprincipled as is that agitation —selfish and shameless as are many of the schemers who have set it on foot—still the agitation promises to be lasts or, er its authors are not likely soon to lose their energy, or to grt rid of their dishonesty of purpose. These men arc, emphatically, men of action. They are shrewd, cunning calculators. Ministers, last year, de clared the Corn-law question an open one. This year they may, perhaps, adopt Repeal as a Cabinet measure. In every quarter, in short, may be traced indications that the Anti-Corn-law struggle is likely to become more desperate ever . ) , day." The Morning Post re marks, in an aiticle on the Corn-laws :—" There ought to be laws giving the home agriculturist a fair protection against foreign competition ; and no more, lest he turn monopolist. Again, there ought to be a policy adopted to make up for the scar city of one time out of the superabundance of another. The great owners of land ought to become, in very abundant years, great owners of corn. Thus would excessive depression of price be prevented, and thus would the means be provided of keel ing down the price, and feeding the people in years of deficient crops."— The Morning Advertiser, in an article suggested by the great Anti-Corn-law Meeting at Manchester, expresses itself in the following terms :—" Ministers should lead the way in this great struggle, for, independently of the magnitude of the interests at stake, the abolition of the Corn-laws would afford time and means for a more calm consideration of other topics to which an oppressed people are urging the Legislature. The Tories should unite in the effort, because it is calculated to allay the most dangerous of all revolutions—that urged on by the promptings of hunger. The people should give this subject priority of all others, because it is one on the speedy adjustment of which depends the preservation of our commerce."—The Morning Chronicle makes the following remarks on an intended Chartist outbreak which was rumoured about the metropolis last night : " Accounts of an intended Chartist outbreak in this metropolis reached us last night, and we took all pos sible pains to ascertain what foundation there might be for the rumour. We were at the same time quite aware that the number and character of the parties disposed for mischief were not such as to leave the least room for apprehension that they could seri ously think of resistance to the public authorities. We ascertained that there was a meeting of the Chartists last night at the Hall of Trades, Abbey street, Bethnal-green, attended by numbers variously estimated at from six hundred to one thousand ; but if they had any mischievous intentions, no evi dence of them was afforded, for they separated quietly. In consequence of communications from the Home office, orders were transmitted from the Horse-guards to the different barracks and the Tower, to have the men under arms, and the different police stations were also ordered to be on the alert. The intelligence having been communicated to the Lord Mayor, precautions were taken for the safety of the City. We conceive these dispositions were made with a view to convince the evil-disposed of the hopelessness of any endeavour to disturb the peace and order of society, if an intention to do so were really entertained. Our readers may be assured that the authorities are quite alive to all that is passing, and both ready and able to protect the public against any mischievous attempts." Baron Weinkheim arrived at Mivait's Hotel on Monday night, from a tour in Scotland. We regret to state, that on the morning of Saturday last, three men, forming part of the crew of the schooner Lansdown, of Limerick, Mr. Turnbull master, at present lying at the Broomielaw, were found suffocated in bed. It appeared, on an investigation, that on the preceding evening the men had been on shore drinking, and after their return to the vessel during the night, they lighted a fire in the forecastle, closed the hatch, and went to sleep.—Glasgow Herald. TRY. SUN. . LO IVlOls, ,UTH SPECIAL Co NI M ISSION TRIAL OF JONES FOR HIGH TREASON. MONMOUTH, TUESDAY EVENING. _ _ I send an account of the proceedings to-day, in the case of Jones, up to the moment of dispatching the express. Jones, you are aware, is the third of the leaders to whom was entrusted the attack upon Newport, and, if one were to judge from his demeanour in the Court-house of that which might have been his bear ing, had he joined in the conflict, it might well be inferred that he would have been the most coura geous of them all. He seems not merely unmoved, but to treat the entire matter with defiance, if not with contempt. He a pp ears t o b e a man w h o believes his life to be in danger, and who scorns the death he is about to meet. His conduct is a contrast to that of his predecessors, and yet they were most unlike each other. Frost had moral courage, and was deficient in personal bravery—he ran away at Newport, and yet at the bar, and during the whole of his trial, he manifested all that steadiness and self-possession which true moral courage alone could give him ; while Zephaniah Wil liams, who was known to be a bold, daring man, and who upon the first repulse of the Chartists, wanted them again to attack the soldiers at the Westgate, was utterly destitute of moral courage at his trial ; for he was incapable of giving a useful suggestion to his Counsel, or of directing his agent. A more miserable, erec-fallen creature I never beheld in a dock than Zephaniah Williams. He only seemed to collect his spirits and brace up his nerves when the worst had be fallen him, and the Jury pronounced a verdict of guilty. Jones has been alert, active and vigilant, seeming to do everything that be can to save his life, but at the same time manifesting in the looks he casts upon his Judge (Mr. Justice Williams) and his Jury, that he has no hope from them. Upon the case of Jones being disposed of, the three Judges, I am told, will sit in separate Courts for the trials of the remaining prisoners, and it is not at all im probable that sentences and all will be over by Satur day evening. The names of the Jurors, as in the previous cases, were baliotted for. The prisoner exhausted his chal lenges, while the Crown challenged thirteen names. The Jury hiving been chosen and sworn, were given in charge of the sheriff's officers, and the Court ad journed at half-past five o'clock. FATAL ACCIDENT THROUGH THE FROST.— Last evening an inquest was held before Mr. Higgs, at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Wilma Phillips, a groolu,in the service of Mr. Biiv,gs, livery- - . stable-keeper, of Brick-street, Park-lane. It appeared in evidence that on Saturday afternoon deceased was riding on horseback through Hertford-street, May fair, and that the animal he was on, having placed its foot on a loose piece of ice on the street, slipped and fell. Deemed was thrown of, and the horse fulling on his legs, broke one of them. He was brought to the above hospital, and mortification set in so rapidly and extensively, that he died yesterday morning. The poor fellow had been eighteen years in his last place, and has left a wife and six young children entirely destitute. Verdict " Accidental Death." DEATH OF A LADY FROM DRUNKENNESS.— On Tuesday an inquest was held by F. J. Osbaldes ton, Esq., at the King William, Watford. Herts, on the body of Mrs. Emma Bishop - , a widow lady, of inde pendent fortune, residing near Watford. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased, who was possessed of considerable property, had ltterly bo.n in the habit of drinking spirits to the greatest excess, and was very rarely sober. On Wednesday she was taken serioutly ill, but did not send for any medical advice, and from the evidence it appeared that between that day and Sunday, when she died, the deceased had drank a great quantity of gin, which was her favourite liquor. A person who lived in the house with deceased, and who had been in the habit of fetching the spirits for her, was severely reprimanded by the Coroner for his con duct. Mr. Kcmhail, the medical gentlemen Who was called in to see the deceased, and who made a post mortem examination of the body, stated that the brain was highly inflamed, and the stomach was covered with spots, the system presenting all the appearance of the deceased having drank to excess. After a short deli beration the Jury returned a verdict to the eff Tt— " That the deceased died from natural causes, acce lerated by her having taken to excess ardent spirits." PROPOSED DINNER TO THE RIGHT HON. T. B. MACAULAY.—We understand that a numerous and respectable meeting of the subscribers to the pro posed entertainment to be given to the Right Hon. T. B. Maeau;ey, called by ci•culars, was held in the C Mfr Royal on Monday last, the Lord Proves' in the chair. It was unanimously agreed to forward an invi tation to that gentleman to a public dinner, as a mark . of their respect and esteem ; and his Lordship was re quested to forward the requisition. We are informed that a letter of acceptance from Mr. 1111caulay was re ' ceived by his Lordship yesterday morning.—Edinburgh Courant. THE SILENT SYSTEM IN THE METROPOLI- Ts.:4 Palsoss.-"On Monday, in the course of an in quest held in the House of Correction, ColThath-fields, before Mr. Wakley, on the body of a prisoner, who died of asthma, the Coroner inquired of Colonel Chesterton, the Governor, if the silent system was carried out, and whether he found any beneficial results from it ? Mr. Chesterton replied that since its introduction the result had heen very beneficial, as the following committals would show :—ln the year 1833 there were 12,000 or committals, oa e r then whilst a p l l a r s e t a y year therewhat ad w e eorte warmingo nlyB ,6Cl ‘ O v .

It is currently reported, that in the event of Mr. Gibson of fering himself to the electors, Mr. Young will retire from the contest.—Morning Chronicle. TUESDAY. The Judges took their seats on the bench at nine o'clock precisely. The Attorney-General understood that his Learned Friend Mr. Rickards appeared for the prisoner, and be begged that their Lordships would be pleased to assign him as Counsel for the prisoner. The Court acquiesced. . The Hon. Mi. Talbot stated the substance of the indictment against the prisoner, and which was pre cisely the same with that preferred against Frost and Zephaniah Williams. The Attorney-General then opened the case for the prosecution. The prisoner stood indicted upon charge framed on several counts, but after what had passed he thought that he could discharge the prisoner from all charges in the indictment save one—that of levying war against the Sovereign in her realm. The Attorney-General then proceeded to detail the law of treason under the Statute of Edward, and the construc tion that had been put on the phrase of Levin; war against the Sovereign. On the first witness being called, Mr. Rickards applied to the Court to reserve the same objection, as to the delivery of the indictment and the lists of Jurors and witnesses, as in the other cases. Chief Justice Tindal—Certainly. The Attorney-General--It is . understood and en tered, that the prisoner assigned Mr. Owen as his at torney, so that the question of request on his part, for the delivery of the indictment may be raised. The cfficer of the Court said this was the case. It is needless to recapitulate the evidence, which was necessarily to the same effect as that delivered on the previous trials. It was proceeding when our express left. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, JAN. 14. ( Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. THE LEEDS AND LIVERPOOL NAVIOA rION COMPANY. In this case a rule had been obtained on the last day of last term, calling on the defendant to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, ordering them to enrol the title deeds of certain lands now in their possession, for merly the property of Joseph Scarisbrooke, Esq. Sir F. POLLOCK new showed cause against the rule. The Act of Parliament under which Mr. Chas. Scaris brooke, the applicant, called upon the defendants to enrol the deeds in question, passed as long ago as the year 1766, and as the patties bad neglected tc call upon the Company to enrol the deeds for 65 years, he contended that they were barred from calling upon them to do so Impossible to by lapse of time. Besides it was to enrol the deeds now, as all the parties to the transaction were dead, and, consequently, there was no one who could make the necessary affidavits preparatory to the enro'ment of the deeds. Lord DENMAN con.idered that after the lapse of sixty five years the Court could not call upon the defendants to make the emolument required. The other Judges agreed in opinion with his Lordship, and the rule was consequently discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, J.N. 14. (Sittings in Banco.) LEES V. BERRY. This was an action for false imprisonment, tried before Mr. Justice Erskine at the sittings after last Term, and a verdict found for Ow plaintiff, damages 701. It appeared that the plaintiff, who was a shopinan to the defendant, a linen.draper in Paddington, having been suspected of ap propriating to himself divers shillings and sixpences from his employer's till—that three shillings and two sixpences were marked, placed in the till, and missed soon after ; and, although not found upon him, he was taken before the Magistrate, who dismissed the charge Mr. Sergeant ANDRKws, on the part of the defendant, moved to set aside the verdict on the ground of the evidence not being properly considered by the Jury. The Court, after some consideration, granted the rnle to show cause. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, JAN• 14 IMPORTANT APPLICATION.-IN RE JOSEPH STOCKDALE. Mr. Coors applied at the rising of the Court for a rule, calling on the Sheriff of Ablilesex to hold and retain the damages of 6001. awarded against Mr. Hansard, and on Mr. Stockdale to show cause why the money, or such sum as the Court should think fit, should not be paid to the as signee to be appointed for the benefit of his creditors. The Learned Counsel said the application was an ordi. nary one, and made under the 89th section of the Ist and 2.1 Vic., 110, as subsequently acquired property. He read an afidavit from Mr. Chamberlain Couch, builder, in Great Newport-street, statii.g that Stockdale was dis charged under the Act in January 1831, and no assignee had been appointed. That the Sheriff of Middlesex had 6001. in his hands, paid under a fiere facial against Mes?rs. Hansard. The COURT granted, as prayed, a rule nisi. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MIINSION-HOUSE. Arthur Pincombc, No. 310, conductor of omnibus No. 5,487, which runs to and from Blackwall and the City, appeared before the Lord Mayor before 12 o'clock yester day, for the purpose of handing to his Lord,hip a black silk purse. contlining 75/. in bank notes, and 61. 14s. 6d. in gold and silver. The Conductor stated that after the paEseng,crs had all left his omnibus, he found in it the purse containing the money. and he immedia'ely repaired to the Lord Mayor, in the hope that public ition would be given, through his Lordship's mens, to the circumstance for the sake of the loser. His LORDSHIP dvs;red th,:lt the eor,ductor slicu'd give k lripa ' inf . ion to the Bank on the suhjrct, and while t.e man was absent, in walked the owner of the properly. She stated herself to be the widow of a vicualler, and that she must, in taking her handkerchief out of her pocket, have pulled out the purse along with it. She was greatly agitated, and appeared to be most grateful upon receiving the money. Pincombe received Irom her as a reward the sum 'of 21.. but she had erdert'd handbills to be circulated off: ring 51 reward to the pec son who should restore her property to her. She declared that the money in the purse was exactly correct. The LORD MAYOR highly praised the conduct of the: v, ry decent fellow who showed such anxiety about the loser o! the money, and who did not seem to be at ali anxious for the reward. BulV-STREET. Richard Goul iny, James Baker, and Joseph Linen, who have been for a cons►derable time known to the police as bad characters, were yesterday charged by Sergean Pocock, with stealing thirteen yards of black serge, quantity of silk handkerchiefs, and other articles from d.._ ferent shopkeepers, and Emanuel Myers, was charged with receiving the same, well knowing that they bad been stolen. After a lengthened examination they were all corn witted for trial. MEETING OF PRESBYTERY.—Thuesday last, a pro re nata meeting of Presbytery was held to con sider the present state, of the Church, as it relates to the settlement of ministers under the veto act.

COAL-PIT ACCIDENT.---011 Wednesday morn ing, about six o'clock, as a boy of the name of Wright, about eleven years of age, was descending the coalpit at Walton, whore he and his father work, through the carlessness of the banksman in not lookin g to the bucket being properly fixed on, he was precipitated from a height of 22 yards, fracturing his breast-bone and several of.his ribs, ' also injuring his bow e l s i n a v e r y sekious manner. Wes are happy to say that he is going on more favotirably than could hue b eemexpected.—Detbyshire Chronicle; DON, WEDNI4,si ► A Y THE DIS S ENTERS' LEADERS. Th Patriot of the 6th inst. claims for its " Reli gious Freedom Society" the merit of personal exertion, and extensive correspondence on behalf of the Gin., diau prisoners, who were liberated in July last. Ti:e Statesman of Sunday has the following remarks on this subject : Our readers have seen, from articles in this and ether Journals, that the pretensions of several public bodies in London, which affect to represent the D:s senters, are being very generally questioned ; and we have a few words to say in the matter. The Patriot newspaper recapitulates, in a recent number the objects on which the Religious Freedom Society has employed its labours during the past year; and some such announcement was greatly needed, for otherwise the operations of the Society would never have reached the public mind through the effects they have produced. Ttierc is, however, one subject mentioned by the Patriot, in which we took a great personal interest, and had such acquaintance with it as enables us to give the exact measure of the Society's labours-- and that was the case of the Canadian prisoners. These men were brought to England in December, 1838, and legal steps were fortawith taken to effect their liberation. These step:, however, failed, and the men remained destitute of all sympathy and aid, except from one legal gentlemen honour ably known in his prefession, ,tad in society, and three or four private individuals, who never forsook what they believed a good cause. In prosecuting that cause, they were chiefly retarded lay the hostile or apathetic state of the public mind, reflected or produced by the newspaper press, to which the Pa triot certainly offered no exception. Although the abstract e‘ils with which Canada was oppressed ware occasionally denounced in that paper, it had no 'good word for Mr. Rolf, an independe t minis ter at Toronto, who suffered for his maintenance of non-conformist principles, .nor for the twelve men con fin ed in Newgate. So late Ili the middle of March, this fact was made the subject of complaint in a letter publicly addressed to the Patriot, and then, hut not till then, there visited the Canadians in Newgate some gentlemen, who afterwards announced to ti.em that they bad attended as a deputation from this Society. The letters which they wrote to the prisoners are now before us, and were thus described at the time by their legal friend :—" You will see, from these letters, tint the case has to undergo with them, as all other cases do, emasculation. It would seem to me, these Societies in London were got up for the purpose of suppression ; their usefulness seems to be, to put out and smother." It is announced in them, that the Society did not see "anything on the face of the case to connect it with re ligion ;"—the opinion of the Society is stror.gly inti mated that the guilt of the prisoners was proved by their own letters ; their case is coldly disparaged, and the .vhole is clinched by a significant allusion to the Chart ists, in these words :—" The threatening attitude of the Chartists in England has an unfavourable influence on your case ; respectable people in general have a great horror of civil war." Such wee the help of the Society at that time, and the Patriot maintained its indifference to the subject. In the meantime the parties interested continue their efforts, at great expense of money and of labour. The proceedings, with which the public are acquainted, were carried on ; and, at length, a confidential and semi-offi cial intimation was received, that the Government con templated their liberation. Then it was, for the first time, the Society became zealous in their behalf, and the Patriot now recounts the case, as if it had directed the proceedings, and worked out the results. We noted these things as they passed, with the con tempt we feel for bustling and imbecile pretension. 'We have recalled them, when we find a public body bolster ing up its character with claims which they have not discharged, and duties they have not fulfilled. NEW WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. IN FRANCE. The new system of weights and measures is giving rise to some confusion in various parts of France. In respect of bread, of which the price in Paris is periodically regulated by the corn averages, the Government tax the price according to the new system, whilst the bankers can only understand the old. Some fault appears to lie. with the authorities for not simplifying the matter by a detailed reduc tion of the old weights and prices into the new, so that on reference the corresponding rates of each might be seen at once. The price of bread was taxed 'on the .4th instant at 85 cents.. , -for 2 kilo grammes. To show the embarrassment: wbieh must be experienced by a class of simple, and illiterate men as bakers generally are, it is 'waked hoW the baker is to express the price of half a kilogramme of brown bread under the new system ? The an swer ought to be, 18 centimes 7i centiemes ; but this, to be comprehended by both seller and buyer, must be again translated into the old denominations of value, when it results in 3 sous 3 liards. This is a task which, it is urged, ought not to be imposed upon the baker, but should be made clear in detail by the Government. It is objected also that the use of quarters of centimes in the decimal system tends to embarrassment. A Rouen paper, more favourably disposed towards the new system than the Eco des ilalles of Paris, from which the foregoing remarks are taken, acknowledges the great advantage of the measures fixed by the new law, but states that they caused considerable confusion in business transactions, some preferring the metrical system, and others, on the contrary, insisting on the ancient usages. But com plaints are mode that steps have not been taken to ex plain and familiarize the new system among the manu facturers, and also to complete the metre with uniform fractional quantities ; in another respect it is stated that tenths should be adopted instead of twelfths, which reader calculation more complicated. At Sc. Lo cer tain resolutions had been come to by the Consulting Chamber of Manufactures, in concert with the manu facturers at large, by which the new metrical system ap pears to have been partially, at least, repudiated. It will, of course, be difficult to overcome the prejudices of people brought up to a certain method,which,however faulty and complex in itself, has been rendered by long practice and universal adoption comparatively simple and easy, But a diversity of system according to provinces or districts in weights, Measures, and coins, must ever be ettended with disadvantage and loss to the public at large, however profitable to men specially skilled in cal culations, and able, therefore, to detect and realize a certain gain in dealings and slight shades of difference in denominationalrepresenting an infinite variety of values and capacities in one and the same country. There is nothing, above all, which strikes a stranger as more extra ordinary in a country like France, than the interminable variety of coins, or fractional pieces of money which one were coins, every where to be met with. To comprehend thoir relative values is entirely out of the question, withotst long and attentive practice ; and the origin of many it would be difficult in any case to ascertain. In the loose change out of a franc piece same half dozen dif fferent coins, or pieces of money of various denominations, will not unfrequently be received. Than a total reform of the currency there is nothing can be more desirable. It appears the watchmaking and jewellery business of Geneva is in a state of great distress, and, as, a remedy, it is proposed to adulterate the standard of gold used in the process of the manufacture, or to admit the use of the adulterated article as a second legal quality different from the fixed standard, which would allow the manufacture of jewellery and watches at a price proportionately lower, and so ex tend the consumptisn in these branches of commerce. Another remedy is also proposed, which consists in ren dering the stamping of the gold optional, maintaining, however, the integrity of the :,tamp. The convenience of these changes is strongly disputed by the principal manufacturers of watches and jewellery at Geneva, who. it is stated, are little affected in their interests by the general depression of trade, and an appre hension of the discredit into which the slightest uncertainty or alteration in the standard of the gold used could not fail to bring the products of their in , dustry in foreign count r i es . In compensation , how ever, it was asserted the more numerou s class of less well-doing manufacture rs wou ld gain everything b y a change which would f aci li tate the extension of their 'business by all the difference betwixt the actual price of the gold and the d eter i orate d qu ality, which , in the absence of legal rest r i ct i ons, t h ey w ould be enabled to work up. So th e matter rema i ns at present, no deci sion one way or th e ot h er hav i ng b een come to. But the subject may b e o f some i nteres t to those conc e r ned here, as it is known th at , c l at ,d es tinelY at least, a certain quantity of watches, if not o f jewe llery, of Genevese ma nufacture, is introduced i n t o this country. —7 intes.
