" A List of the Proprietors has been printed and circulated, and the Directors refer to it with pride and satisfaction, as 111 "riug the firm basis upon which the credit of this establish ment has been reared. ~" It i s grat if y i ng to t h e Di rec t or s to be e n abl e d to d ec l ar e a d ividend of five per cent. on the paid-up capital, out of the net profits of the busines s to the 30th of June, after making a full allo wance for bad and doubtful debts, liquidating a portion of t he preliminary expenses (which, in justice to the present Pro- Prietors, must be provided for gradually), and setting apart the p l of 2,000/., being nearly one per cent. on the paid-up ca. as the foundation of a surplus or guarantee fund, the etkablishment of which, to an adequate amount, invested and accumulating separately in Government Securities, in the names of the Trustees, the Directors consider to be a matter of great portance to the future interests of the Bank. Titeatteniionoithel'rop;ieto - s is particularly directed to t hat part of the balance sheet, showing the amount of interest Paid on cur ren t an d d epos it accoun t s to be 7,373/. 12 s . Bcl., by l '"eit it will be seen that, in addition to the greater security afforded by the sound principle of joint-stock banking, the cus tomers obtain so manifest an advantage by a return of interest °a their general balances, which would otherwise have been Wholly unproductive. The extreme pressure on the Money Market at the close ,fli last year rendered the greatest circumspection indispensable 4 the management of the Bank. The Directors, notwitstand tig, refer to the account appended to this Report, to show the roprietors that in preferring a safe and cautious course to the Precarious profit which might have attended a less prudent line ° I conduct, they have been actuated by a strict regard to the tirnate interests of the Company " The Directors, for the convenience of business, have opened account with the Bank of Enclsnd ; and it is due to the Directors of that great establishment, to state that this accom !4,odation was granted in the most prompt and o b l i g i ng manner. T he Directors have also the satisfaction of stating that the ;ost friendly feelings exist between this and the other Joint t "ok Banks established in the metropolis. r " Nothi ng h as as yet b een d one b y t h e l eg i s l a t ure w ith refe rice to th e un j ust pro hibi t i on w hi c h preven t s J o i n t St oc k 'enks in L on d on f rom accept i ng bill s at l ess t h an s i x mon th s ' .. 4 "; but from th e prin c ipl e of removing a similar limitation, r eapers I re l an d , having been a'.'mitted in the bill brought in 0 3; e the Gove rnmen t l as t session, and the growing opinion in Stack mind that this and other restrictions upon Joint Bank s are injurious to the public inte.ests. the Directors that when th e interesting inquiry now going on before a select a r t mittee of the House of Commons on the subject of banking 11 be completed, the whole matter will be placed on a sound and reasonable footing. ter :A Branch Bank at the west end of the town was opened at P a rarY offices in Argyll-place, Regent-street, and the Di -ectors ch a • considering the situation to be very eligible, have pur sed the valuable freeholdof the premises, and erected thereon i l e 2 4 firoodio us banking-house, which will be shortly completed. ti_ a success of this establishment has fully realised the expecta u'ls of the Directors.. p: The Directors refer with the greatest pleasure to the ap ovlitment of Mr. W.

They have also great satisfaction Cl a 4ressitig their entire approbaion of the conduct of Mr. the Manager of the Regent. t street Branch. In conclusion, the Directors would urge upon the Proprietors 0 _ consid er how much of the success of the Company depends t o buir act i ve co-operation, not merely by keeping their own accounts r.„„l i n e ts with th e B an k ( w hi c h i s a l mos t t oo o b v i ous a d u t y t o iernar;) but by extending . the connexions of the estr dent e nt by every means in their power.

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, Scurvy, Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, and all tnose disorders 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 years' 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 Sarsa, 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, an d there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter ing the condition of the blood and amending the hahit of body, as it does most manifestly in scrofulous, consump tive,and dropsical habits, and cachexies—foul or perverted states of the hum ours, &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 fellow from indulgence, in certain habit:, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying thatthere 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 Mathis's and iesponsibility 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 into schools, whereby Ihe health and ultin.ately 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 healtk should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea._ 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 charact_r, 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. The book will also be found to contain much valuable infor mation peculiarly interesting to those members of society who, from havin g indulged to excess in youth , find themselves un able to discharge those duties and functions which devolve on them in the ordinary course of life.

SIR-I have a crow to pluck with yo u . - Uninterested, as I am, in the West India question, except in so far as the promulgation of the truth is con cerned, I yet cannot but aver that it was with painful feelings I read in the columns of your journal, of the 3d and 6th instant—a journal in other respects always accurate—certain statements calculated to create mis apprehension in the public mind on a subject of great importance, and to inflict injury upOn a class of men, of whom, did you but know them, as I do, you would I am sure, have been the last in the world to say any.- thing in prejudice ; and I now, with all deference and humility, take up the pen to point out the errors into which you have fallen ; trusting to your sense of justice to insert the few remarks I may find it necessary to make. In The Sun of the 3d instant, you observe—" The 28s. per cwt. excess of price (British Plantation over slave-grown sugar) will be spent by the proprietors, most likely abroad, in the pursuit of vain and silly amuse ments. Whether, therefore, the price be 255. or 50s. per cwt., is a matter of utter indifference to the West India labourers ; their wages will remain the same." Again—" As it is, the West India body and the Foreign slave owners will share between them the spoil accumulated at our cost, through the medium of exorbitant prices." And again, on the 6th inst., you declare that " not one sixpence of the bounty goes to encourage free labour. It never reaches the pockets of the labourers. It is wholly seized and appropriated by the landowners and capitalists of the West Indies." Verily, Sir, you have been grievously misinformed. The planters, so fer from benefiting by the bounty, or monopoly, are, in fact, greatly the losers by its opera tion. They could not fare worse did no such thing exist at all. Nay, they would, no doubt, even be better of, since in that case their capitals would remain undis turbed, and a continued drain upon their pockets averted ; whereas, as it is, they are compelled to strain every effort in the endeavour to raise a certain quantity of sugar for exportation to the home-market, the pro ceeds of which, after all, are totally inadequate to meet the increased expenses of production. It has been as certained that, on the majority of estates, the returns are not one per cent. on the capital I But even this small portion would be something, did all the estates alike derive it ; but, unfortunately, such is not the case. Nine-tenths of them, in the West India coke nies, arc rapidly advancing to a state of bank ruptcy, in consequence of their capitals, accumulated after long years of industry, having been and still being daily trenched upon, while others have already been en tirely abandoned. In other instances, again, it has been found absolutely necessary to make applications for loans to the Jews and usurers who inhabit this famed city of London. For, be it recollected, the West In dia proprietors have not been united into a chartered company, keeping surveillance over and protecting their interests, as the planters and merchant s o f th e E as t In ybeen so involved. been u n it e d, th e y would d o i o e tc s naon haveoi it been. i ss certain,ayvthH a a t Had tai t ,v h ee e West I n di a Planter is a gainer by the monopoly ? D o you assert t h at th e la hourer is the unlucky dog—that " not one sixpence" of the bounty reaches him? Wh y , i t i s h e — t h e l a b o u r er alone—to whom all the profit s go . R ece i v i ng a ra te of wages as high as is given to any other of the like class in the world—and these wages, it should be known, have been doubled since the apprenticeship—with houses, provision-grounds, medicine, medical attendance, and religious instruction into the bargain, he is, as he ought to be, as contented and happy as he could desire. He cares not—not he, indeed—how long the monopoly is continued. It never disturbs his thought. But I wish it to distinctly understood, although his lot is thereby rendered easier, it i s , nevertheless, a matter of perfect indifference to him whether this burthen be tolerated or not. His subsistence is not dependent on it. With a large tract of uneccu ' pied country around him, offering by nature every ad vantage for sustenance and for pleasure, he knows that he need never want ; end, accordingly, the more indolent of the emancipated negroes, forming by far the greater number, have either became hucksters and petty shop keepers, or squatted themselves in the more retired parts, listless of all care. Thus, I trust, I have succeeded in disproving what has gone abroad respecting the West India planters and, in conclusion, I can only express my astonishment and regret that such statements should have appeared in a publication which, by the independence of its poli tics, its fearless advocacy of right, and its usual fair dealing, has long since earned the respect of every Re former. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. T. H. London, July 9, 1840. without her captain, it btin POLICE-OFFICE. — Yes terda y , again, the ca . p a man names here again, Ann Killon, Thomas Cox was brought up under the following s • • . sus cir cumstances :—A vessel called the Chebar, Captain Smallwood, sailed from this port for Sincapore on the 15th April.

Henry tai Stuart, watchmaker, as one he sold to Captain Small wood, ard in whose possession he saw it four days before he sailed, when on board the vessel. A waistcoat was and also produced which had been pawned, it was recognized by the woman who made it as the-one she made for Captain Smallwood. The prisoner, who was steward of the vessel, upon being asked to account fo r the possession of t he watch, said his mother gave it to him in August last in Bombay, and denied being steward on board the vessel; but the watchmaker identified him as the person who waited at table when he was on board with Captain Smallwood previ . ous to saili ng . It ap peared that the Captain was seen on deck in his usual way, that he then went below, and ins short time after lie was missed ; the cabin window being open, it was supposed by the crew that he must have jumped or een thrown ov erboard. The prisoner, on being asked by Mr. b Rushton, said he had nothing to say, and he was remanded till the owners of the .vessel, who reside in Cumberland, were communicated with.— Liverpool Mercury. On Tuesday afternoon as some boys Were bird nesting in the hedges adjoining it Ashby's close near the three Tuns-lane, they discovered a parcel in the ditch tied up in a handkerchief, which on being opened was found to con. tain a quantity of counterfeit silver. Had the parcel been taken to the Mayor, by the boys who found it, in the first in stance, it is probable the parties to whom it belonged would have beeri apprehended ; but before the police had time to re place it, two men were seen to approach the spot and look anxiously about for, it is supposed, the hidden treasure, but as there was no proof that such was the case they were allowed to depart with a caution from the Mayor.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES AND TIIE IRISH GOVERNMENT. We copy the following proclamation from the Dublin Gazette : By the Lord Lieutenant-General and General Governor of Ireland. A PROCLAMATION. EBRINGTON. It having been represented to the Lord Lieutenant that processions of Temperance Societies have in some instances borne an appearance hurtful to the feelings of a portion of their fellow-subjects, as seeming to partake of the nature of party displays, his Excellency feels bound, especially after his proclamation respecting other processions, to give a caution to the members of these societies. To the benefits which the temperance pledge has conferred upon Ireland, in the improved habits of the people and the diminution of outrage, his Excellency bears a willing and grateful testimony ; but it is not the less his duty to impress upon all persons who have as- sociated themselves under that pledge, that their pro cessions Income amenable to the law equally with those of any other soi.icties, if they exhibit any party em blems, or arc accompanied b) music playing party tunes. He trusts, therefore, that all friends of sobriety and good order will be particularly studious to avoid any demonstrations which can possibly be construed into party exhibitions, or can give reasonable cause of offence or alarm to any of their countrymen. Given at her Majesty's Castle of Dublin, this 7th day of July, 1840. By his Excellency's command, N. H. MACDONALD. EARTHQUAKES IN CHINA.—At a recent meet ing of the Academy of Sciences, a report wai made on the Me moire by M. E. Blot, on the probable causes of the ancient deluges mentioned in the historical annals of the Chinese, and giving a catalogue of the earthquakes and eruptions which have been noticed in China. The literature of this people is said to furnish valuable testimony on the subject of Asiatic Geology , and Climatology. M. Blot has discovered in their annals his toric evidence of two great deluges, the most recent of which they place as far back as the 23d century before our era. M. Biot undertakes to explain them by the phenomena of earth quakes, traces of which Humboldt has remarked in Central Asia. From the coincident direction of the axis of the Mexi can Cordillera with that of the mountains of China, the author concludes that the crust of the earth is but little consolidated throughout the extent of that zone ; and assumes the probability of the simultaneousness of earthquakes in the two countries. There is a striking analogy between the phenomena recorded by the Chinese, and those which have been observed in the Cor dilleras. In both, it is rare that the earthquake has been a single convulsion, generally a series of oscillations. '1 he author has, with the aid of M. Stanislas Julien, translated all the de scriptions of these earthquakes, eruptions, fissures, and lacera tions of the ground, mountain-slips, and formations of lakes, in support of his opinions.—Atheneurs. THE COTTON SPINNERS.—A crowded meet ing of the inhabitants of Glagow was held in the Mechanics' Hall, on Wednesday evening last, to adopt the most efficient measures to give these men a welcome home, suitable to the cause for which they have suffered. Mr. H. Alexander being appointed to the Chair, read the placard calling the meeting. He then remarked, he hoped that the meeting would separate the case of these men altogether from politics. It was entirely the cause of labour against the power of capital, in which the cotton-spinners had suffered, and he trusted that all who took part in the business would confine themselves to the real ob jects of the meeting. Appropriate resolutions were agreed to, in order to give the returned men a suitable reception.— Scots Times. -.-..-_.

This sum to be transmitted to his Excel lency General Alava, her Catholic Majesty's Minister in London, who is charged with ininzediaie distribution to the claimants. The Spanish Government to transmit in like manner to the Minister of her Catholic Majesty in London, five other instalments of 50,000/. sterling each, at succes sive intervals of six months, which will, therefore, complete the total payment in two years and a half from the date of the agreement. The Spanish Government deliver, in the meantime, (as engagement for the above), to the British Minister at Madrid, five Treasury obligations, each for the above amount, at the respective terms of six, twelve, eighteen, twenty-four, and thirty months, which obligations shall be gradually withdrawn, according as the half-yearly instalments are paid. And, as an additional guarantee, the Spanish Go- vernment also deposits in the National Bank of San Fernando the sum of thirty millions of seals Vellon in in Five per Cent. Stock (Bonds for 306,0000, at the disposal of her Britannic Majesty's Minister at Madrid. In the event, however, of the non-payment at the pro per time of any half-year's instalment, the British Mi nister at Madrid is empowered to direct the sale of the above guarantee, in order to cover the amount of such unpaid instalment, giving fifteen days' previous notice of such sale to the Spanish Government ; and in case of any such sale of the whole, or any part of said Stock, the same shall be immediately replaced in deposits by the Spanish Government, to serve as a similar guarantee for the following instalment ; but those stipulations and guarantees were only considered necessary to satisfy the doubts in the minds of the Legion,—created in many instances for party or other interested purposes. And finally, in lieu of interest for the delay th• claimants are exposed to, a compeasation is to be awarded and included in the last instalment, the amount of which to be amicably determined on by the Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary at this Court and her Britannic Majesty's Minister for Foieign Affairs. The first of these instalments has arrived in London, and its payment will, I have no doubt, be commenced in about a week. For this arrangement, which I consider to be fair, sa tisfactory, and completely secure, and in the propriety of adopting which I fully concurred, I need scarcely point out to the Legion how much they are indebted to the strenuous and generous advocacy in their behalf of her Majesty's Minister at Madrid, Mr. Aston, and in whose continued attention to the subject, as circum stances may require, under the instructions of his Go vernment, the most perfect confidence may be enter tained. I fully agree with the Committee in the expediency of giving publicity to this explanation on my part ; fur ther details, however, would only confuse the matter, and might tend to enable parties to depreciate the value of the certificates, in order by such means to purchase them at a price far below their value, which I now consider to be not less than 100 per cent. I have now only further to state what is but due to the Spanish Government, that they entered on this de finitive arrangement in the most frank and honourable manner ; that a similar feeling was evinced by persons of influence in Madrid, both Ministerial and Opposition ; and, above all, that her Majesty the Queen Regent was most earnest and gracious in the orders she gave towards effecting this settletnent. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) DE LACY EVANS. To George Service, Esq. Chairman of Committee of Offices, &c. P.S. The foregoing, under the signatures of the President of the Council and the Minister of Finance, under date of the 18th May, was officially transmitted to the British Minister on the following day, the se cond payment will therefore take place on the 18th of November next, that day and the 18th May being con sequently the future periods for paying the instalments. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER--FILIDAY EVENING. Fitzroy, we understood, was laid against twice, at 1,000 to 15, for the interesting race of Wednesday. The horses most in force were Broadwath, Orelia, Sleight-of-Hand, Bolus, and Retriever. We did not hear either the Doctor or Cruiskeen mentioned; our quotations must, therefore, be considered as nominal. It would appear, that the position Sleight-of-Hand is placed in a Newmarket has acted as an impetus, for few were disposed to offer a fraction beyond 100 to S ; his stable companion with 81b. extra, although a " Lord Mayor," had not a follower ; we should think 25 to I would have been wil lingly laid; 5 to 1 was offered against the " Irish division ;" and 7to 1 very freely, bar the son of Recovery. The prices must be expected to vary every hour, or as often as the trains reach, which may bring the Liverpool betting. From private letters, we have every reason to suppose it will be a very ex cellent meeting. The ground is in the best order.

He was born in 1792, and having received a liberal education, his father obtained for him a commission, the half-pay of which he con tinued to enjoy, at all events, until the year 1825, about which date, we believe, he sold it. He never reached a higher rank than that of lieutenant of artillery. He evinced a youthful theatrical propensity, and early in life went upon the stage in the provinces, but he did not appear in London until his 26th year, when he played Leon, in " Rule a Wife and have a Wife " at the Haymarket. He afterwards became a considerable favour ite with the town, and although never entitlei from his talent permanently to represent the very highest characters of the drama, for one season he filled the place of principal tragedian at Covent-garden. He was always more than respectab!e, and his Macbeth had many ardent admirers, and was thought John subsequentK ena b 1 e t and o th Youn g, eday o f It by is some to b j e u judgesobserve hi however,the best in t ticieat John Kembie and Young we have n ot had an actor com pletely capable of sustaining that great" perhaps greatest part.

(From the Morning Chronicle ) The withdrawal of Lord Stanley's bill may be looked upon as the signal for the cessation cf further hostilities for the session on the part of the Tories, and the postpone ment, until some more favourable period, of the system of ▪ ' " obstruction," every expedient of which bad been inef fectually exhausted. Curiously enough, this public mani festo of the inability of the Tories to wrest the reins of ' government from the hands of their cppenents, was ushered cinalled up by aneolnabo:r.ateforarmtiele rnof c t d b m e in T is i t a r i a es ti , on att t e o m -m pt o i r n r g ow to , doex plain away the fact that ministers had a " clear, decided, and unquestionable majority" in the House of Com mons, and to show that Sir Robert Peel could, if I so with a perfect certainty of being adequately sup s ported--" in the first place, even by a majority of the • present House of Commons, but still more ceitainly, and much more decidedly, by those who elect the House of Commons, by the various constitueacies of the empire." Is it possible that there can be a class of country squires so blind and besotted, or a class of country parsons so pre• judiced and ignorant, as to make it worth while for an in ' fluential joernal of the " great Conservative party" to cater for their entertainment fictions which, to every man of ordinary sense and informetion, must appear in the last degree puerile and ridiculou'? fray', if our assertion is false that Ministers have " a clear, decided, unquestionable majority" in the House cf Commons, how is it that they arc in power et the present moment ? Is it from any for bearance on the part of their opponents? Is it from any lack of will on the part of Sir R. Peel and his followers to trip up the heels of the present Government, if they could only find or make the opportunity—from any retiring modesty, or any reluctance on the part of such distinguished Statesmen as Messrs. Herries and Holmes to assume the responsibility of office ? Let Sir James Graham's motion on the China question answer. (From the Times.) The Canada (so called) " Union" proceeds in the House of Lords with tolerable celerity towards its parch ment consummation, which now, we take far granted, will be the passing of the Bill—yes, its consummation, so far as parchment gee s. An Act of Parliament is as easily manu factured as a Privy Councillor or a Peer of the realm. But to enforce such an Act—to give it efficacy—to insure the obedience of the subject—to make a parchment union a substantial union, practically binding on the nation, and a real guarantee for the efficacious working of its own pro visions—that is a matter which must depend on powers extrinsic to the Act itself—namely, on the suitable ness of the measure to the condition, the interests,' and feelings of the country for which it is intended ; or, in other words, on the predominant will and spirit of the Canadian people. Rapid as may be, therefore, the Parliamentary progress of this very doubtful Bill, there is nothing done towards its practical execution or enforce ment until we shall have assured ourselves what sort of entertainment it is calculated to receive at the hands of the colonial subjects of Great Britain. Amongst, how ever, the objections to the Bill which have proceeded from Noble Lords in Parliament, we must in justice to our own feelings declare, that those which have been put forwa-d by one of the ablest and most autheritative members of that assembly —we mean Lord Ellenborongh—do not command our concurrence. The Noble Baron appears to be more aggi ieved by what he considers the injustice done to Lower Canada than by any other vices in the whole measure. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The approaching close of the Session brings with it, as usual, the standing Conservative imputation of being bar ren of results—an imputation in which we feel it to be a matter of conscience to cffsr a few words. The Tories, taking advantage of their own wrong, in befft'ng the Canada Government Bill, and the Irish Munic pal Bill (through the medium of their organs, the Times, Courier, and Standard), accuse the Ministers of " doing nothing :" that is to say, they accuse the men whom they endeavour to render incapable of carrying good measures, of being n in. capable." A pickpocket, who steals a watch, might after wards as vi ell accuse the victim of riot possessing one. To the taunting phrase of an incapable Gucernnat nt, insulted truth' justly replies—the measures ec see r ffeen d by this incapable Government are such as no Tory Ae'e ministration ever felt *elf endowed with the vigour and the courage to propose :—The English nluilicipal Bill—the English Tithe Bill—The An=essment of Irish Tithes—the Irish Poor Law—(a still more difficult gees lion than the Englisb)—the Abolition of the Imprisonment for Debt by Mesne Piocess. The Englieh Registration Bill may also be added. Those Ministers whose heeds are said to be so weak, have shortened, by no sriy two years, the noviciate of African liberty; they have struck a deadly. blow at the slave trade of other couetries ; they have pre pared new paths for commercial enteeprise in Turkey and in Russia ; they have commenced for literature neget is tions for the greatest boon it can receive—aa international law of copyright ; they have established the great principle of popular education, without exclusion of religious differ ences ; and they have passed a measure obtaininq . for every ' class of the people, the commercial, literary, and social bene f its arising from the cheapest possible intercourse by correspondence—preceding, in this, the most vigorous and most populous states in the world. (From the Morning Post.) It appears to us that Ministers made a very shabby figure the other evening upon Mr. Tom Duncombe's motion ' respecting the punishment of political offenders. We think it was hardly right of the Conservatives to let them off so easily upon that occasion. Mr. Hume, who, unlike his patron, Mr. O'Connell, sometimes speeks the truth, blurted out, in his random way, by far the most genuine, unsophisticated, and pithy observation upon Ministerial conduct which the whole debate afforded. Speaking of the way in which the seditious agitators have of late been treated, Mr. Hume said that "the conduct of the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) was most ungrateful, for he had risen to office by those means which he now condemned; %hen out of office he had been brought back by them, and perhaps might be very willing to avail himself of them again, if he were out of office." We hold this to have been a most just rebuke, and we wish we bad to re cord it as having fallen from some gentleman of influence on the Conservative side of the House. We are very sen sible of the good services of these gentlemen upon many important occasions; hut we must take the liberty of say ing that they are but too patient with the pompous hypo crisy which is so often and so cffensively displayed from the Ministerial benches. We da not see why the Conser vatives, while asserting the propriety and necessity of punishing political offenders, should refrain from dwelling upon the shameful inconsistency and cruelty of thcse pseudo statesmen, who climbed into power by the encouragement of such crimes as they are visiting with unusual harshness of punishment. _ (From the Morning Herald.) Since the day that Chief Justice Tindal made a judicial request that the press should observe a profound silence on the exec of Edward Oxford, until it should have been prcnounced upon by the verdict of a jury, we have ab stained from writing one word on the subject. Not se some of the Government journals, which, having their vile party purposes to serve, cared net how the facts of a case on the eve of trial might be falsified, and the interests of justice tainted. But the case has now Leen fully beard in a Court of Criminal Law, presided over by three of the Queen's Judge's. All the proofs of crime that could bo brought against the person accused of a treasonable and deliberate attempt to assassinate the Queen were adduced, and their applicability to the guilt of the prisoner enforced by the zeal, ingenuity, legal acumen, and eloquence of the eminent lawyers who fill the h;gh effices of Attorney and Solicitor General, aided by the no less distinguished talents of the conservative ex-Attorney- General Sir Frederick Pollock, and the experienced ability of Mr. Adolphus in the practice of criminal courts. And what has been the result ? The conviction of the prisoner for the crime of political association? No. The estab• li-Imcnt of the exiszence of a deep-laid conspiracy of which the atrocious assassin," as he was generally called, was the desperate agent? No. The judicial confirmatien of O'Connell's " Orange plot " to alter the succession to the throne? No. The result of the trial has dissipated into thin air all the monstrous fabrications of the Downing street and O'Connellite press. No person in this country ever went to trial on a charge affecting his life, and calcu lated to render his memory odious for ever, under a heavier weight of pre-judgment than the boy Oxford. His life was indeed nearly hunted down as a political sacrifice before he was brought to trial at all. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (SATURDAY EVENING) TIME S —Concessions on the part of the Bank of Eng land seem to be the order of the day. Two of the joint stock banks in the City, the London and the Union, have been permitted to open a drawing account. They have also resolved to allow parties who keep accounts with them to discount bills, and for sums smaller than heret9fore permitted in their practice. The latter alteration is bor rowed apparently from the mode of transacting business by the Bank of France. These are changes of some mo ment in themselves, as giving increased facilities to the Government ; and it may be received as a tolerably sure indication when the Bank of England condescends to court popularity, that very sound and good reasons exist for it, which can scarcely be other, in its present position, than that the Dir ec t ors d o not f ee l per f ect l y at t h e i r ease in regard to the inquiry going on into the administration of their affairs in times past. HER ALD —The high and advancing prices of Sugar arising from deficient crops in the West Indies and short stocks of colonially grown at home, will shortly render it both expedient and profitable to take foreign sugars out of bond for home consumption even on payment of the high duty of 635. with the new surcharge of 5 per cent. A good deal of excitement was caused in the City by the seizure of a parcel of white (claycd) Havanas landed from a Spanish ship direct, and entered for home con sumption at the commencement of last week. The Custom-house officers pretended that as " white" it came under the description of "refined" sugar, the duties on which are prohibitory. It is however suffi ciently notorious that this description c.f sugars were never so construed before; and moreover that there is not one single refinery establishment for sugar in the whole island of Cuba. These white sugars are made by one and the same process and at the same time as the brown sugars of the same island, as is well known in the Board ly o body, trade and among all merchants trading w ith that countr y . f C I t u i t suppose d r b t y le thea m2l the the matte r usual de w la il y l s be o rectifiedgeei which is extremely leisurely in the performance of its functions, but in the meantime it will be a source of trekble and annoyance to those interested, as well as of some ex pense, for when leave is o btained to amend th e e n t ry , as it is called, a "satisfaction fee " has to be paid t o th e officers for the s ezure, although that se izure was wrongful and should be declared illegal. The Board in fact ought to make compensation for the damage inflicted by en un justifiable seizure on the merchant. As it is the " sr.tis faction fee" is in many respects a temptation to the officers to exceed their duty.
