It appears, hew cc er, thLt if certain portions of expenses in other sec tions, which, according to a note, have reference to the colonies, were collected under this head, the total would be 1 1,308,000 f. One article relates to the moral im provement of the slaves, by the establishment of schools, increase of the clergy, &e. A credit of 10,000 f. is re quired for defraying the expense of transcribing and printing useful information from the publications of the English Government relative to the instruction and crnancipaticn of the slaves. Extracts from these volu minous works to b e di s t r ib ute d to the chambers. We shall conclude with a recapitulation of the heads of the naval buda.et in a tabular firm. SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES FOR THE NAVAL SERVICE OF 18.11. Early in the year 1837 the proprietors of a large spin ning and power-loom cloth establishment in this vicinity suspended payment, and eventually passed through the Gazelle. These works, with upwards of 100 cottages, mansion for the owner, land, &e., cost upwards of 100,000/. Soon after the bankruptcy the whole was offered for sale, when 70,0001. was offered, but refused, the assignees preferring carrying on the works at their own risk, or ri.ther that of the creditors. This colrsc, how ever, being attended with loss, the property was offered again to public competition, but not a single bidder ap peared; 50,000/. was, notwithstanding, subsequently of Bred by private treaty, which sum the assignees else thought proper to decline. The working of the machinery was still persisted in, and, as events demonstrated, to a still further loss to the creditors. The entire works may be had now, report states, for 40,000/., but still no buyer appears. There is a mortgage on the property for between 30,000/. and 40,000/., and, from present appearances, when the loss sustained by the carrying on of the concern by the creditors is added to the mortgage debt, not a shilling is likely to accrue to the creditors from this once deemed princely mercantile establishment.—Liverpool Times.

Nothing is more uncertain than the life of a single indivi dual, and the sense of this uncertainty has given rise to the establishment of Life Assurance Companies, their object being to equalize vicissitudes and to render the pecuniary relations of mankind independent of individual casualty. The Managers have availed themselves of the numerous au thentic sources of information applicable to the subject, and caused an original and extensive set of Tables to be constructed, which, for all the ordinary cases of Assurance, present the Lowest Rate of Premium that can be offered, without compro mising the safety of the Institution. The Premiums for each particular ease may be ascertained at the Office. ADVANTAGES presented by this COMPANY. The Board of Management is composed of Shareholders and Policy-holders, the majority being assurers to the extent of 2,0001. each with the institution. The Trustees to be nominated by the Metropolitan Board, and by the Local Committees, the majority of the latter in each case to be the holders of policies for the term of Life for 1,0001. and upwards. The blinds of the Company to be tested in the Trustees, none of whom are to be Shareholders, but all of whom may be Policy-holders, who are to have a power of intervention in the affairs of the Institution for the protection of Assurers. No severance to be made of the assurance fund, nor any dividend paid upon the capital stock, until a Report, approved by the Auditors, shall have been made of the debts, credits, and precise state of the Institution, showing the estimated pro fit, a cautionary reserve to protect against casualties, and the sum applicable to meet the outstanding engagements to the Trustees, who are vested with a veto against thc payment of an excessive dividend. No claim upon a policy to be resisted, except upon the autho rity of a special report and recommendation of the Committee of the district within which the policy was effected, showing a fraud upon the Company, or some well-grounded objection to an unjust demand. All claims payable within one month after proof of death. Ten per cent. on the sum assured may be received imme diately after satisfactory proof of death shall be afforded, when ever the circumstances of the claimant shall render such an accommodation essential. No proof of birth required after a claim shall arise, as the age of the assured will be at all times admitted in the policy. Fraud only to vitiate a policy, and all disputes to be settled by arbitration, at the option of the assured. Policies assigned, or duly deposited, as equitable securities with creditors, not vitiated by suicide, death by duelling, or the hands of justice. Policies forfeited by non-payment of premiums renewable upon satisfactory certificates of health, and the payment of the premium in arrear with interest thereon, with a small fine to be fixed by the Board. Females and others towhem it maybeinconvenient to appear before the Board will be attended by the Medical Officers of the establishment. A Committee of the Managers and the Medical Officers attend daily for the dispatch of business at the office, where • every practicable facility is given for the completion of proposals for Assurance, and where every requisite information relative to the establishment may be obtained.

BATEMAN'S CONCENTRATED PRE PARATiON OF RIO NEGRO SARSAPA RILLA is one of the most powerful medicinal agents for renovating the Constitution which has ever been introduced to the Public. It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Smirvy, Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, and all tnose dissrders originating in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and particularly those arising from the long. continued use of mercury. This Preparation, which is the result of many ye irs' laborious research and experiment, is thus noticed by Dr. HANCOCK, in his Philosophical Papers, read before the " Medico-Botanical So ciety :" " It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species of Sorsa, the Rio Negro, does manifest a peculiar power in healing ulcers in all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of chronical affections. It is scarcely less remarkable for its power in improving the condition and habit of body, and the'efore it is not without reason esteemed a great restorative; but the narrow views of the Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic affections, and there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter ing the condition of the blood and amending the habit of body, as it does most manifestl y in scrofulous, consumptive, and dropsical habits, and cachexies—foul or perver t e d states of the humours, &c."

To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that:there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of some disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily, at least the relation and lesponsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practices so often introduced intn schools, whereby the health and ulthrately the lives of his pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked in proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the reap cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow from them, if not relinquished. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence,: No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re ' quested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication muse be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 1/.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied on.

We are happy to say that two new churches were opened on Monday last at Dudley, a town which, from the rapid increase of its population, has been long in want of adequate church accommodation. The land upon which both these edifices stand is the gift of Lord Ward, who is also a liberal patron of the undertaking. The churches were consecrated by the Lord Bishop of Worcester with considerable ceremony, and a liberal collection was made after a sermon which was preached on the occasion. A Communion-service, Bibles, robes, &c., have been pre sented for the use of the churches by the clergy of the neiahbourhood.—lbid. [The cunning Editor of the Times, or the Sub-editor, ' or the Sub-sub-editor, or the Sub-sub-editor's scrub, from which journal we borrow these two paragraphs as they stand, seems to have placed them in juxtaposition in order to throw light on the present tendency of the community. Churches flourish and trade decays. Such was the pro gress of Italy and Spain to ruin. What magnificent and numerous temples are there in those countries, and what an impoverished, degraded, and demoralized people. If our statesmen look to the increase of churches and of priests to maintain the greatness of England, or even to preserve, much less improve, the morality of her people, let them look to those two countries beggared by priests, and pre pare for a most grievous disappointment.] FRENCH NAVAL DEPARTMENT EXTRACTS FROM THE OFFICIAL ESTIMATES OF THE MINISTRY OF THE MARINE AND THE COLONIES. SERVICE OF 1841. The military marine is expected to protect the exter nal commerce of the nation on every point. To do this successfully, it ought to be constantly able to exercise an active vigilance on the distant shores to which French traders direct their operations of different kinds, as some with a view to mercantile exchanges, others to enter prises in the great fisheries ; to support, when neces sary, nen-founded claims on their part ; to maintain or restore discipline on board of merchantmen, particularly when the crew is numerous and the voyage of long du ration ; finally, in exploring other seas to seek to dis cover places where it may be possible to open new mar kets, either for the productions of the soil, or the varied works of industry—a result which, while extending the participation of our flag in the general movement of na vigation, will also re-act favourably on the maritime in scription. Independently of this habitual service of pro tection to commercial interests of the first order, there are several other relations under which the naval force of the State ought to be regarded—it is a powerful auxi liary for the army on land ; as an instrument of obser. • vation it possesses the most favourable qualities for aid ing the views of a vigiiant and moderate policy in ques tions arising at a distance ; next, and under a different order of ideas, it presents to the sciences and the arts, in return for what it owes them, the concurrence of an enlightened and indefatigable zeal. Thus the royal n n n a l n v y m c e o r e n e t i b a u n t d e , s n o the a d p p l o r o in g a r t e i s of knowledge, ns point nf view, favours may fre quently augment the influence of the Government. Such, then, in the whole, is the mission confided to the department of the marine and the colonies. To be en abled to fulfil, in 1841, the duties of that mission, a total credit of 74,015,800 f. is required. Before indicating the intended application of this credit, we will call to recollection, that, according to an Ordinance of February 1, 1837, the naval force for the peace establishment is to consist of 40 ships of the line, 50 frigates, 1W other vessels rigged with sails, of regulated rates, and 40 steamers. One half of the ships of the line and steamers must be launched ; the other half remaining on the stocks ought to be for warded to the extent of 22-24ths of preparation. The 40 steamers and the 180 sail-rigged vessels of inferior order are to be kept afloat. Were we to suppose, con trery to all probability, the whole of such a force as this placed by a complete .and simultaneous equipment on th ci e to t w ve e a t es footing, v.oe toy i o t ,t. ° r im y o7gun, .:with wit ahr present v9 s b oe r ol s gunshe crews n n a n n t e e d f feCalculating of 9 ing upon , the .hypothesis of an that equ is ipmteontsare strto the , ships'of the line•and •frig a t es ,• t h e effective of the' crews W6uld'be's7,ooo men applicable to the working of about 6,500 and' if w e a dd 40 steamers, that ef fective would amount to 60,000 men. The number of 'armed vessels for the service of 1841 is kept up to 130, as in the last two budgets. But the composition of the equipments is extensively modified in what relates to steam navigation. The number of vessels which stood in the budget of 1840 at 20, has been raised to 30, and the progress in this respect is the more consider• able, inasmuch as the machines of several of the, new vessels greatly exceed in power those hitherto employed in the French navy.* These 10 steamers will be sub stituted for 10 sail-rigged vessels of a secondary class. As to the ships of the line and the frigates, the number remains the same : thus we preserve those vessels, which, while they constitute the principal force as to ar tillery, arc at the same time the best schools for nauti cal instruction, and afford the most efficacious means of maintaining discipline and a true military spirit in all ranks: - The results of the equipments for the year 1841 will be thus arranged : SAIL-RIGGED VESSELS. 1 1 of the 2d rate, of 100 guns. 5 Ships of the line 2of the 3d rate, of 90 guns. 4 of 74 guns. sof the 4th rate lof 80 guns. 2 of the Ist rate, 60 guns. 12 Frigates 5 of the 2d rate, 52 guns. 5 of the 3d rate, 46 guns. 6 War corvettes of from 20 to 32 guns. 4 Aviso-corvettes of 16 guns. 13 Brigs of from 10 to 20 guns. 6 Aviso brigs of 10 guns. 7 Gun-brigs of 8 guns. 14 Galliot, cutters, &c., of from 6 to 8 guns. 16 Flotilla craft. tzti War vessels: VESSELS OF BUhDEN. 14 10 Corvettes of burden, or store ships. 4 Gabarres.

These 130 vessels are destined to maintain useful communications, to execute orders relative to special expeditions, and for the protection of trade.-f- They will occupy the 11 ordinary stations—namely, the coasts of the Peninsula, Brazil, South America, the Antilles, Cayenne, Mexico, the coasts of Africa, the Levant, Bourbon, Newfoundland, and Algiers. Adhering to the provident system adopted in former years, there will be added to these 130 vessels, keeping at sea, a reserve of 24 vessels--namely, eight disposa ble in roadstead, and 16 in commission in port. The composition of this reserve will be according to the fol. lowing statement : Eight disposable in road.—Two ships of the line, three frigates, one war corvette, two brigs. Sixteen in commission in port.—Five ships of the line, and seven frigates, one vessel of inferior rate, three steamers. The effective of the crews required for the 130 ves sels in active service will be 20,542 men, and for the reserve 1,922, making altogether 22,464 men. The budget for the navy is drawn up according to a plan adopted in all the Ministerial departments. It consists of 22 chapters, which are distributed under four divisions. The first comprehends the Central Service ; the second, the General Service ; the third, the Scientific Service ; the fourth, the Colonial Service. THE CENTRAL SERVICE.—The two first chapters, entitled Personnel and Materiel, belong to this divi sion. Under the Personnel are enumerated the salaries of the Minister, heads of offices, clerks, &c. Under the Materiel, the expense of edifices, furniture, fuel, sta tionery, lithographic presses, &c. The total expense is 892,500 f. _ . THE GENERAL SERVICE has 14 chapters, and the principal items are pay and clothing of crews and troops, pay of officers, naval works, &c. The amount of the whole is 64,362,000 f.

The department will soon possess some of 320 and and 450 horse power. The total power of the machines in steamers, according to the budget of 1840, was to be equi valent to 3,130. This power for 1841 will be equal to 5,780. Thus the motive power will be nearly doubled. In a note some inipbrtant facts are given from a docu ment published by the Board of Customs, under the title of " Tableau General du Commerce de la France pendant Pannee 1838." It is stated that the trade cf France exhi bited at no previous period such considerable results as during the year 1838, when the imports end exports united amounted to 1 milliard and 893 millions. In examining the account with reference to the mode of c , nveyance for mer chandise, it appears that the foreign trade by sea was to the same trade by land in the proportion of 70 to 30 ; in 1837 the proportion was 68 to 32 ; so that the trade by sea had consequently increased 2 per cent. Looking at the statements respecting tonnage, we find that the total burden of the mercantile shipping employed in 1837 was 970,078 tons, and that in 1836 it amounted to 1,077,169 tons, with out including the vessels in ballast. 'This is equivalent to an increase of 11 per cent, on the tonnage. On the 31st of December, 1838, the total number of the merchant ves sels was 15,617 of which 73 were steamers. THE AMERICAN BANKRUPTCY BILL. It cannot fail to be matter of great interest to commer cial men in this country to be made aware of the line of argument taken in the opposition to the Bankruptcy Bill in the American Congress. We have selected, therefore, some illustrations of it from the speeches of Mr. Calhoun, rho is acknowledged to he an authority of great weight. He, in the first place, denies that the constitution has given Congress any power to pass such a Bill as that in contemplation, for while it allows the estehlishing of laws on the subject of bankruptcies, he considers the present measure, though called the " Bankruptcy Bill," to refer to insolvency, " miscalled voluntary bankruptcy," which is not embraced in the constitution. Ile describes the two systems of bankruptcy and insol vency, known both in America and England at the time the constitution was framed, as originating in views entirely different from each other. The system of insol vency he considers as " grow i ng out o`•the debtor side of the question," the object being to relieve a debtor from the power of his creditors, en a surrender of his property for their benefit. The system of bankruptcy, on the other hand, " grew out of the creditor side," the object being to invigorate credit. These two systems being perfectly well known to the framers of the constitution, he finds that the reason they mention bankruptcy alone is, that they - intend the insolvent system not to be adopted, and that, such being their intention, it is beyond the power of Congress to cause such adoption. The matter has been brought before Congress on account of the opinion that the State Le g islatures can d o no more t h an di sc h arge the person of the debtor, and that any feather power must lie in Con. grcss alone • but Air. C. a lho u n con t en d s , t h at if t h e S tates ealeaot disc harge the debt, neither can Congress. The rt!lecse of a contract,he declares to be out of the power either of Cengress or the. States, the obligation being im posed by a power higher than human, and protests that if a discharged debtor had release from every Government on earth, and did not pay his debts when in his power, he would not be an honest man. Being thus opposed to the voluntary system proposed by this Bill, or, to use his own words, the " system of insol vency," as unconstitutional, he now surveys the compul sory system, which he considers to be constitutional, and indeed the only system of bankruptcy contemplated by the constitution, but objectionable on the score of expediency. He thinks the genius of the nation greatly adverse to harsh measures, and the summary power given to cre ditors by a bankrupt law, by which, on a suspicion of insolvency, a creditor to a smell amount can at once cause a debtor's whole estate to be distributed, to be par ticularly harsh, especially when so many persons are ex posed to misfortune horn the sudden contractions and expansions incident to the vicious system of paper cur renu. If it be,uneonetitutianel i though humane, to inter pose against the creditors on behalf of the debtors, it is cruel, though constitutional, tie give additional arms to the creditors against the debtors in such a state of things. Hence he is against the Bill, and against the amend ment also, on which the compulsory system wouin ti founded. Although no friend to the banks, Mr. Calhoun considers the operation on them by the compulsory system as likely to be mischievous to the community, since a small creditor may at once cause a distribution of pro perty, and in the panic which the passing of such a measure would at once create, many of the non-suspended banks would net be in a position to escape the penalties of the Act. The very measure of requiring the banks at once to wind up would, he considers, cause such a commotion that the creditor would be afraid to apply the powers given him by the Act, which would thus be virtually swept from the statute-hook. He proceeds to argue that the very bringing banks under the operation of such a law would in reality produce that connexion between the Government and the banks which he considers it so desirable to avoid. It Con gress could pass a bankrupt law, it could also define nhat should be an act of bankruptcy on the part of the banks, and it might make several regulations, so that a com plete subjugation of the banks would follow, and the effect of such a subjugation, all power of contest being gone, would be a perpetual alliance. He denies that Congress has the power of extending a Bankrupt Act over the in corporations of the States, since the power of the States and that of Congress both emanating from the constitution as a common source, one cannot have a right to destroy what the other has a right to' create. It need not be remarked that in describing Mr. Cal houn's argument, there is no disposition to adopt his views, but the application of the subject to a country like the United States is so curious in its bearings, as well as important in its results, that it is imagined all coal mercial men in this country must take a lively interest in the discussion. Leaving that direct interest out of the question, they may probably derive, from ac consideration of these arguments, some advantage to the administration of the bankrupt laws in this country, in which great defects are still admitted to prevail.— Times.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS CF THIS DAY. ( From the Tintes.) An amendment mee!e by the Lords in the Irish Muni clod Corporntiens' Bit?_ ha. struck cut certain words wnlch prepesed to give to the Lord Lii , utenant (in (Met to the Seerstery for Ireland), and not to the Judge of the Ceurt of Sessiees in Dublin, who is also A Member of Pariia mern, a discretionary power of fixing mere frequent timeo for the sitting of that Court, and thus to eneble the It is_.3 Government, whenever conver:ient, to abstrict one vote from the side of their opponents —a privilege which wseild have been invaluable if capable of' being exercised during the progress of Lord Stanley's Bill - It may be said that the Lord-Lieutenant might safely be intrusted with the proposed power without any fear of its being injudiciously or improperly exercised. We reply, and we do so advisedly, that the Judge, and net the frith Government, should, in the case of so important a jetrisdic tion as that of the Recorder of Dublin, requiring as it does the assistance of an intelligent bar, be alone intrusted with the power of making arrangemeete for the due adini niqration of justice in ids Court. We say, in addition, that he who should predict that such a power w ee ki net be improperly exercised by the Irish Government, must be one upon whom - the experience of the past has been altogether thrown away. We hare not forgotten, that in order to save one vote in orposNen to Lord Stan ley's Registration Bill, that Goverrmeet. despite of the injury inflicted by delay upon suitors in the Court of Chas eery in Ireland, delayed for a considerable thee to All up the vacant appointment of one of the masters of that Court ; and we are Omp;e-minded enough to believe, th tt it is probable that such a taenpering with the interests of justice, in order to sase the political existence of a Govern ment like the present, would not, if opportunity offered, be allowed to remain a solitary instance. (From the Mornings Advertiser.) Notwithstanding the nighty din of the French Press, and the alarming echo of some of our Tory Contempora ries, it is in vain that we look for any thing like a just cause why France should take cffence at the measures taken by the British Government for the adjustment of the Turko-Egyptian question ; nor do we believe that the French Government, though prevented' from co-operating by individual motives—a dislike to oppose the wisher •r pretensions of Mehemet Ali—entertain the slightest intee- . tion of making any active or open demonstration egainst tise proposed arrangement. Even the Constitutionszet, anon so bellicose, admits that no slight bad been put upon the French Government, which was thoroughly acquainted witk the terms and progress of the negotititeion between Great Britain and the other Powers, and in vindication of lb. national dignity observes—" It is becuire the French Government was cognizant of these negotiations airmi their purport that it refuses to- take any part in them-. And after repeated intercessions, in order to obtain its as sent, it persisted in abstaining ; there is nothing humiliaid ing to her dignity in the circumstance that negotiations were effected without her." What then becomes of the charge made by the Constitutionnel against Lord Palmerston, of insulting France, by keeping her in ignorance of the ne gotiations; and attempting to make her the dupe of in trigues prejudicial to her interests? What becomes of its indecorous allusion to the son of Louis Philippe accepting the hospitality of the British Court, and reviewing British Forces in company with Prince Albert, white the honour and interests of his country were so seriously compromised ? How, after the quotation just made, are these aliegstiens to be explained ? By the simple fact that M. Thiers, whose organ the Constitutionnel is, wished by the fret to excite a political sensation„and by the next to infuse a little annoyance into the cup of his master, Louis Philippe. was altogether the paltry contemptible manoeuvring of a clever intriguing Minister, having neither integrity nor ability to achieve his obj , 7ct by an open, frank, and bc , oest course of policy. ( From the Morning Post.) There is the strongest possible evidence—direct and in- direct, positive and negative, evidence—that the. ad ministration of justice in Dublin, to far es the Right Ho nourable and Learned Recorder of that city is engaged tea it, is well conducted. The direct and positive evidence to this point mizht, we think, suffice, comprehending, es it does, the ample testimony of persons differing so widely from each other in positien, motives, and character as the Duke of Wellington and Mr. O'Connell. But the indi rect and negative evidence to the same point is. if possible, still stronger. Among all the enemies whom the Re corder of Dublin has had the virtue to create—cor rupt M;nisters whom he has thwarted and annoyed. jobbing corporators whom he has controlled cod rebuked, cunning or eccentric politicians whose manoeuvres he has refused to assist, or whose aberrations he has refused to follow—not one of this diversified host has ventured to mention a single case within the range of the judicial functions of Mr. Shaw in which justice has been denied, or polluted, or delayed. Every argument that is urged i■ favour of a provision which, under the thin disguise of zeal for the administration of justice, and for the real purpose of destroying the efficiency of Mr. Shaw as a Member of the [louse of Commons, would degrade the Recorders of Irish cities and boroughs into lacqueys of the Lord Lieutenant, steers clear of the judicial character and conduct of the pre. sent Recorder of Dublin. These were rocks ahead which bark; so frail as those of the Marquis of Lansdowne, in wholesome dread of shipwreck, sedulously avoided, pre. ferring, with i.ufinito wisdom, the wide and open sea of conjecture and hypothesis, contingency and speculation. How few Recorders, whether in England or Ireland, who are not Members of Parliament, could produce equal tes timony to the adequate discharge of their judicial duties ! But the fault of Mr. Shaw is, that while he performs his jui)eial duties in a manner in which the most inveterate or the most conceited of his enemies can find nothiag to blame, he also discharges bis Perrliamentary duties as the representative of the University of Dublin provotanglywell. ( From the Morning Herald.) Our readers have seen that oar information as to the job contemplated in the Irish Municipal Ball fur- Mr. RN , c,n-cler Shaw, was to the letter correct—Correct. eves as to cur predicted silence of Lord Devon,-who, ou a former casion, had protested against such au attempt. Oa Friday night, in a thin - house, ,Lord "Lyndhurst; we regret to say, renewed the attempt. wiiichiOn a termer occasion, h e had been obliged, when the House was full, to abando n ; a on this occasion he succeeded by Majority of- 16. The Duke of Wellington supported the amendment evidently under a total mistake as to the real state of the question. His Grace assumed that the clause under discussion was levelled personally at Mr : -Shaw, and-on this ground he objected to it on the obvious unfairness of legislating with reference to an individual. .So strange is the igno rance of the Ministers with regard to the details of their own measure that not one of them was able to set the House right upo I this point. Now, how stand the facts ? One of the professed objets of the Bill is to improve the Muni cipal Courts, and with th s view by the 167th clause the Recorder ul every borough is de-ired to hold Sessions of the Peace at such times " as he mat in his discretion think fit, or at such times as the' Lord Lieutenant may di rect " This clause extends to every borough except Dublin, for 771lich it was necessary to provide by a separate clause, and accordingly in the. 163 d clause the very same words arc applied to the Recorder of Dublin, ' who is desired to hold his sessions at iueh times as " he hi Isis Cl4ri:•tiCori may fit, or as thel t ord , Lientenant - may direct," applyieg to him just the very saine proilisioitt to which all other Recorders are subject." 'This certainly-is not legislating against an individual: there is no Fewer), there can be no reason, why the Recorder of Dublimshoulti not 1 - :e subject to the same regulations as are all others, except the one, which no one dare put forward, that Mr. Shaw ought to have a special dispensation, because he has priived himself the most subservient, although we can scd...qlv call him the most useful, tool of Harty in the House of Commu.. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. SATURDAY EVENING TI ME S.--The late fraud committed in the abstraction of a large amount of foreign stock has drawn some atten tion to the trouble, as „ell as the risk, which bankers incur from the custody of such property, and which they are content to undergo, it seems, for those who have de posit acc,,unts with them, without any charge. In houses of extensive business it is common for clerks to be cm . ployed for many weeks in separating the coupons, or di vidend warrants, from the body of the foreign bonds, and in sorting and numbering them before presentation for payment. During this process the bonds themselves must necessarily be in the custody of the person so occupied, and the greatest temptation and opportunity for fraud arc thus opened. When the system was new, and the loan contracts with Foreign Powers very limited in number, this formed but a small part of the banker's business, but it has now grown into a serious impediment and hindrance. It will be difficult at the same time to fix a charge for this service, as the competition of banks with each other will probably insure its continuing to be dew gratuitously. In the absence of all remuneration, the risk is perhaps the reore seriously regarded, and of the fairness of some charge fur the risk and trouble united there can be no doubt. Had the extent of it been foreseen, a trilling commission would have been imposed; but it is now too lath. A Treasury minute relative to the appropriation of tbe balance of the fund for indemnifying the claims of &kills subjects for losses in France has been printed in retsin to an order of the House of Commons. Considerieg throe the claims, which may be regarded of right, as well as such as have been admitted by former Ministers, as of grace and favour, have both been satisfied, the Lords of the Treasury have been reflecting how to apply the SW plus of 83,3311. Is. 3d., which remains unappropriated. In the first place, they took into consideration a suit in equity, commenced by Inglis and others against the board, when they resisted all claim of jurisdiction of tt Courts of law or equity over their own minutes, and the plaintiffs discontinued their proceedings. They read the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, according to which the minute of 1830 conferred no right on the applicants, but if treated as an instrument giving an absolute right, would give interest, besides principal. The Treasury are, therefore, of opinion, that they should pay over the sup of 46,9801. 10s., theamount which would be due, adopting the above opinion, deducting fur expenses the per centage of 21. 12s. 6d. The next cases were those where the conduct of the parties was influenced, to their own loss, by the act of the commissioners or those under their authority. The first of these claimants appealed to the Privy Council on the ground of difference between three and five per cent. interest, but the CBXO was not argued, it is alleged, on account of a statement on the part of the Crown, that the amount of the dis posable fund would not admit e o x f b t pi he th h e ig p h a e r r tie r s t at souldn oCon sidering that when a surplus suffer from previous misapprehension, Treasury A (s n u o b t j h e e e r t t c o la tb im e a u n s t ua h l a tductions) baring lost a should n b t e h a a that p 2 2 r0 ,3 p 2 6 0 a / t . e d 1 . 6 s. right of appeal to the Ps ivy Council in consequence of a communication from the Commissioners, the amount of 5,336/ Bs. was awarded to him, the interest being computed at four, not five,. per cent., because that was the amount of his claim as originally put forward' by himself. Another party was misled by a letter ,`arrived from the Secretary of the Commissioners in - 1&15, which justified them in assuming that their claim was duly registered, and therefore they are to be put on the same footing as if their claim had actually been registered at the date of the letter.
