" The ground-the Authoress travels is in the noblest histori cal associations ; abounding with traits of by-gone days, of war and chivalry. We do not, however, here look on the dry bones of antiquity ; the Author calls back, as it were, the stir and bustle of buried 'centuries. How few travellers have this power ! and how delightful it is to journey with such a writer. Again we must acknowledge the, gratification we have received from these charming volumes. If we mistake not, then will tempt many an English traveller to the " Boeages and the Vines," and will become an indispensable companion for, the journey."—Morning Herald.

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 ont 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 relation and responsibility 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 the health and ultimately 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 real 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 cf 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 nut relinquished.

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 minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupaticin in life of the party ; the communication must 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. ._ • .N.B.

'lt is a little man with rising mustachios, a pale complexion, hollow eyes, hanging and ill-combed hair ; the youth stands as straight as lie can, casts a disdainful look at the librarian, whom he considers the public's humble servant, and does not even honour him with a nod ; his hat remains immoveable on his head ; his hands are plunged into his tattered pockets, when they do not ca ress his chin on the filthy margin of a black satin stock, above which a clean shit t never peeped. " Sir, I wish to consult a work upon the Wandering Jew." " Sir, what work is it ?" " Why ! you must know, since you are the librarian.' " But, Sir " replies with politeness the functionary,, who is thus bit terly made to feel. that, he belongs to the public, and even to the ill-bred public. " What ! you don% know the work I want ! 'tis pitiful, 'tis disgustingt 'Tis true, Sir, that I do not know the work ; but if you will name the author we shall look into the cata logue." " The author ! How should I know him ? I want materials to write the biography of the Wander ing Jew, and, if I can't get them- at the King's library, where the devil am Ito get them ?" " You say that there is a work on that subject ?" " There must cer tainly be one, and I beg you will hand it me forthwith, for.tbe newspaper is waiting for nay fertilletorz." " With all my willingness to satisfy you, Sir, I regret, it is not in my power, for your information is so vague • besides, I do not believe the book exists, even in Ger man." " I don't understand German, and must have the hock. iL Preach." " But if. we have it not ?" " You must have it." " But if there is no such book ?" " Pooh ! that's no reason ; it's because you won't take-the trouble to look for "On the contrary, Sir, it would give me pleasure . to assist yet; in your biography, but we have no catalogue divided into subjects." " So I suspected, you have let the cat out of the bag. No catalogue ! no catalogue at the King's library had been, told so, and could scarcely be lieve it, upon my honour !"

This one, at least, takes his hat ofrand bows with the look of an old'acquaint ance. He has not the arrogant deportment of a jour nalist, nor the indolent manners of a louner, He is sans faeon both in mind and person, and is not in the slightest degree intimidated by the rigid and cold coun tenance of the librarian, who looks at him without see ing him, and listens to him only with one ear. " Good, sir," says he freely, "it is I !" " And what is there foryour service ?" replies the librarian, who does not recognise him among the dark,, white, yellow, red, ugly, hideous, handsome, old and young faces that daily pass and vanish before him. "It is I!" reiterates the unknown, who cannot conceive how lie can be forgot ten when he has once been seen. " I c ome f or lc manach des Adresses." " The regulations, Sir, pro hibit .the lending out of that. sort o f wor k s, f or t h e King's libraryiis not 'a branch office of the Post Office."

I don't care which, provided the trans lation be not expurgata, like the Horace we are given at schools." "Give the gentleman a complete translation of Horace," says the librarian to an employe, whom the lad follows with proud importance. " Sir," adds this , hopeful pupil, who beforehand enjoys the pleasure of becoming acquainted with the parts of Horace which the University conceals beneath a chaste veil ; " Sir, would you also be good. enough to lend me a, translation of Demosthenes' Philippics, for I shall then get through tomorrow's task. meraries, continually travel over this labyrinth of the hu:nas mind.

"I am the aunt of your landlord, and my nephew gave me reason to hope that you would have the extreme kindness to lend me some. books,. some novels. " But, Sir, ; I have no , ; right to lend books, Madam, and the conservatoire alone grants such permissions.; it does not lavish them, and I can only promise to back your . application."

"'Tie strange enough," mutters the landlord's aunt, as she retreats with the revengeful design of making her nephew give warning to:his tenant, the librarian ; " 'tis strange enough that whilst the Journal des Modes'is lent to modists and sempstresses, novels should be deiiied to women of my station !

" Excuse me, Sir," exclaims the librarian, perceiving his mistake, " I am unfortunately subject to absentia of mind, and fancied the paper of no use." " It is the name of a work I have been two years waiting for, and once or twice a month applying for it was bor rowed by M. of the Acaderhy, and, as a second copy could not be had in Paris, I have the utmost desire to see that of the library."

" Sir, I had asked you for Dante," save a poet with the dullest face, despite of his goat's beard, ; " you have probably committed a mistake." " No, Sir," replies the librarian, opening the volume retu rne d to him " La Divina Conzedia, with the notes of the commen! tator, Milan." Very well, Sir, that is not L'Enfe r of Dante." " L'Enfer is the first part of the Divine Conredie." Are you quite sure . •-> I should be de lighted to make certain of it ; have you Dante or the Divine Comedic, in French ?" The librarian claps his hands on his forehead to col lect his ideas for a moment, and make out the chaos of numbers and titles of books in which his intellects are plunged. His ears are stunned—he hears nothing ; his eyes twinkle, and are covered with a cloud; he no longer distinguishes objects, but mistakes a reader for a book, and a book for t! reader. F aces and figures are renewed before h im without end — voices change, and applications cross one another. Wha t app lications ! Some unintelligible , others absurd ; some b ristling with Greek, Latin, G a ins!), English, or even Russian others accompanied with tiresome comments. The poor man, who sometimes has m er i te d the heavy cross of librarian on l y by excellent contribU t i ons to history, science; or literatur e, thinks at every sittin g th at h e i s on the brink of death , or at least of idiotism or madness.

The public libraries of Paris contain altogether above two millions of volumes. We have not magnified the number, though we eannot know it exactly, until the catalogues be complete. Those libraries are superin tended by learned men, academicians, and even by men of wit ; • no .doubt, since wit and science, and some times academies, write books. Those libraries cost large sums, which figure every year in the national budget ; they cost iscareely more than the encourage ments given to the cod fishery ; yet the librarians, em ployes, messengers, or frotteurs, the - women and chil dren, the dogs and cats, of that bibliotechnic population must all live. They, therefore, all live, increase, and multiply, and will live, increase, and multiply in pro portion to the progress of intellect and of readers ; consequently those readers for whose benefit the books are b )und, the tables provided with ink-stands, and the floors are waxed, at a large expense, are particularly deserving of the sympathy of the Chamber of Deputies and Administration. It may, indeed, be naturally inferred that science and literature reckon those readers among their most zealous votaries. Who are they ? Just walk in observation about the immense salle de lecture of the Royal Library, follow those various classes of readers to the Librarian's desk, sit down by them, address them, and you will be edified at the use made of the public libraries in the year of grace 1840. This it was that made our great bibliophile, M,• Van Praet, die of sorrow. The clock strikes ten, the grand .door ..of the Rue Richelieu reluctantly opens ; the concierge, in his livery; stands on the:threshold with crossed arms ; the sentinel points out the cane and umbrella bureau to the bearers of those articles of furniture ; the bureau where they are deposited sans retribution, according to its fresh painted inscription, would, nevertheless, yield as clear a profit as a tobacco bureau, if a duty were levied upon between a thousand and twelve hundred canes and um brellas, representing as many faithful habitues at every sitting. They push one another, rush on, and are anxious to get to their posts, for the throng daily increases, and they who are late run the risk of finding no places. At a quarter past ten all seats are occupied, and one must then sit on the floor, in the window embra sures, roost on the steps of a ladder, or lean against the walls. Oh, how miserable those librarians must be who have to listen to all applications, and to answer them without laughing or shrugging' up their shoulders ! How cruel the tortures inflicted for five hours together upon those men of more or less knowledge, more or less lettered, among whom are to be found real savans and distinguished authors ! We admire their fortitude, devotedness, and patience, and wonder at their not suc cumbing to their task after rapidly, undergoing 'all the stages of cerebral palsy and intellectual degradation.

" A book, Sir." " What book ?" " Oh, Sir, a book ; I don't care which, provided it be a - book.". " But. Sir, there are books only here, and if you don't tell me which you want " It is not to read, Sir, but tbhuot lib rary look at." " Then, Sir, just look about you, an d you w i ll see as many as you can possibly wish for, byt I beg t o remind you that the curious are admitted into rary but twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays ...... " " You are too good, Sir ; I shall come back on Tues day next, and bring my wife, and my daughter, a very forward child for her 'age ; though not yet twelv e years old she can " I'm sorry, Sir, that I have not time to listen to those details, which are quite foreign to our duty in this library." " And the hook I demand, Sr ?" " Pray, Sir, tell me which it is," exclaimed' the librarian, with a warmth which he immed ately checks.- " YeS, Sir, that's it, the largest, the best gilt one on lionder Shelves, and I shall say every where that I h ave toneed a book belonging to the King's library," - , The librarian conceals his vexation under a smile of pity, and orders the book to be handed to his tormentor, He resumes his occupation, but is at the very moment RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. The Great North of England Railway Company, it is expected, will open their line from Darlington to York in October next.—Guteshead Observer. The branch of the York and North Midland Rail way to Methley, by which passengers will be conveyed from Leeds to York, as far as that town, is open to the public.—Sheffield Independent. At the half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of shares in the York and North Midland Railway, held at York on Monday week, it was agreed to appropriate 5001. for the purpose of making a survey of a line of road from York to Scarborough. Mr. Stephenson said he was quite satisfied it would be an extremely cheap line to make.— Sheffield Independent. The engine and tender of the North Midland Rail way lately ran ten miles in eight minutes, being at the rate of 76 miles per hour.—Hull Advertiser. It is in contemplation to form a branch of railway from Barnsley to the Cudworth station, a distance-of about 2f miles. Application has been made to the holders of property near to the May Day-green (where it is expected the railway will commence), for that pur pose.—Aelield Iris. We understand, from undoubted authority, that every exertion is now making to open the Taff Vale line as speedily as possible, and that, in fact, the car riages will very • shortly be ready to convey passengers from Cardiff to Newbridge.—Cambrian. The trains on the Birmingham and Gloucester rail way are to begin next week to run by night as well as by day ; on that account gaslights are now being laid down along the line.—Cheltenham Free Press. On Saturday last, en experimental trip was made on part of the unopened line of the: Manchester and Leeds Railway, for •the distance of sixteen miles, commencing at Hebden-bridge and continuing to Bradley-wood, near Mirfield.----411anohester Guardian. No official announcement of the opening of the Great Western Railway, between this city and Bath, has been issued, but it is currently reported that it will take place previous to the annual meeting, which will be held on Thursday, the 27th instant.—Bristol Mercury. We give in another column some interesting statistics of railway legislation, being a return to an order of the House of Commons, on the motion of Lord Robert Grosvenor. It will be seen that in the course of the last ten years, a sum of nearly sixty-three millions ster ling has been authorised to be raised under various Acts; and although a large proportion of that amount is of course still ancalled for, the fact of so much capital having been risked in railway speculation, speaks strongly in favour of British enterprise. A comparison of the number of Bills brought in, and Acts obtained, in the several years from 1830 to 1840, will afford matter for curious speculation. The number of new undertakings brought forward appears to have been largest in 1836, and to have been nearly double the number of the following year. During th last three Sessions the Acts obtained have been almost exclusively to amend and enlarge the powers of former Acts.— Railway Times. . POST-HORSE DUTIES.—From a return to an order of the House of Commons (just issued), on the subject of the post-hOrse ditties, as - moved .for by Sir R. H. In,glis, it appears that there has been a decrease to the amount of 13„9461., in the produce of these duties, for ' the yeitr ending the sth January, 184 . 0; as compared 'with - . that 'eliding , on' the sth January, 1839. The gross receipts, in .the London district during tie six months ,ending ,the sth January, 1838, 1839, and 1840, were respectively 12',327/:, 11,926 E, aril 10,7181. On 'tlifflitte of the Lthitian'ancl Birmingham Railway during, the same periods the amounts were 13,4681,, 11,5051., and 9,6811. It appears from an accompanying return that. the total amount of the mileage and composition for duties on -railwaY , earriages and on stage coaches was, for the year ending sth January, 1837, 514,0391. ; .sth ,January, 1838, 499,086/. ; sth January, 1839,, 494,138/. ; and sth January, 1840, 467,1931. The 1 rally* mileage duty has, of course, increased in amount during these periods, while the stage carriage. duty has diminished. The former cexclusive of compo sition) was, in these periods respectively, 9,0971., 14,636/., 36,251/., and 70,837/.; the latter 514,039/., 499,0861, 494,138/., 494,1381., and 497,1931. It is only within the last two years that a composition has been allowed in . respeet of stage carriages, and then but to a very trifling extent. It would appear from a notice in. the Whitehaven He ra/44_4 the promoters of the . proposed Morecambe_ istifßail*iii; although 'the decision of the Commissioners has been 'unfa6urable to their project-as 'part of the , great •iine , ,to.Seetla;ad,,are endeavouring to carry into' effpcta smaller ungertaking. It is proposed to form a railway commencing at the' West side of Moreesmbe BaY,;to follow 'the' line proposed by , Mr.. Hague . via .Whitehaven, and; to join the Maryport and Carlisle Railway--7steareers to,ply, across the mouth o f More cambe Bay, between the tertilini of the Presto'n hnd Wyre and the' West Coast lines. Steamers at present sail daily between the ports of ,Ulverston assd Fleetwood, and meet the railway trains at the latter place. " From the vast number' of passengers," says our Contemporary, " who daily arrive and depart, we have every confidence in the proposition ; in fact it is now the most eligible mode of travelling. Persons leaving Ulverston may, in the short space of four hours, arrive either at Liverpool or Manchester, and may reach the metropolis in about ten hours." The scheme certainly seems. worthy of being further inquired into.—Railway Times. CONSECRATION OF THE ARCH- BISHOP OF PARIS. The ceremony of the consecration of the Archbishop of Parii took place on Thursday, at the Church of Notre Dame. At as early an hour as seven o'clock the doors of the church were opened to persons having tickets, and in a short time several thousands were pre sent. The following personages, amongst others who had reserved seats, entered successively, viz., the Ministers of the Interior and Public Instruction, the Prefects of the Seine and Police, the members of the municipal council, the mayors and deputy mayors of the city of Paris, the sub-, prefects of Saint-Denis and Sceaus, the members of the General Council of Hospices, the committees of various charitable establishments, &c. After the Cardinal Bishop of Arras had taken his seat, as consecrator, attended by the Bishops of Meaux and Versailles, the Archbishop elect read a long formula of the oath taken on these occasions. The Cardinal then inter rogated him in the usual manner, and the Archbishop being clad in his proper robes, the service proceeded. While the litanies were chanted, the Archbishop elect remained prostrated before the altar with his face on the ground, and then took his place at the feet of the Cardinal, who placed the Gospels open on the shoulders of the new Archbishop,. The " Veni Creator " was then sung, which was . followed by grand mass, and during this the formalities of the consecration commenced. These formalities over, the Archbishop received from the consecrating Prelate the pontifical dress and the pallium. After the consecration and the prayers prescribed for the occasion, the enthronement took place in the choir, and Te Deurn was sung. On quitting the choir, the Archbishop, accompanied by all the Metropolitan Chapter, went to the .great door of the church, bestowing his benedictions as he passed. He then ' returned to his scat, and received with all the congregation the pontifical benediction of the Cardinal Conservator. The clergy then quitted the places which they had occupied during the cere mony, and conducted the Archbishop in procession to the sacristy. The ceremony lasted altogether three hours. The prelates present, besides those mentioned above, were M. Garibaldi, Papal Internuncio ; the Bishop of Orleans ; Dr. Murphy, Bishop of COrk ; the Bishops elect of Vclerice and Quimper ; the Atch bishop of Chalcedonic ; and the late Bishops of Beau vais and ajon. • . „ " The Archbishop of Paris has published a pastoral letter on occasion of his consecration: The Prelate strongly recommends the clergy in this document to con fine themselves strictly to their spiritual duties. "Previous to the ceremony of Thursday there had not been a consecration of an Archbishop of Paris for two cal.: tulies ; all the prelates who during that period were trans lated to the metropolitan see having been previously of the order 'of Bishops. Jean • Francois; de Gondy, first Archbishop of Paris, was consecrated at Notre Dame on the 19th February, 1623. His coadjutor, Jean Francois - Paul de Gondy, was consecrated Arch bishop of Corinth on the 21st of January, 1644. All the succeeding Archbishops came to the see of Faris alt eady. consecrated.

" The folloWing transcript of a memorial addressed by the insurgent mountaineers of Lebanon to the Emir Ervin, on the 11th of June, 1840, is published by the Echo de l'Orient of the 18th ult. : " You know, as well as the Emit' Bechir, your august father, the tyranny which has weighed upon the inha bitants of Mount Lebanon, and the vexatious and heavy taxes with which they have been burdend ever since Mehemet Ali governed their country. We were the first to submit to him, our soldiers Went with his own to wage war at Damascus, Tripoli, and Hama ; and when the revolts of Saphet, .Nebolos, Hebron, and of the Matualis, successively occurred, it was they who, under the Emir Bechir, suppressed them by beating the insurgents, and reducing them under the power of the Paella. Those services induced us to hope for some alleviation of our sufferings ; but, by way of recompensing us, he seized on our arms, made forced levies of men in our country, and overwhelmed us with evils, .of which the account cannot be heard without a feeling of horror. ' When we failed to pay the taxes, our women were laid hold of, and, after being unmercifully beaten, they were suspended by the arms from trees, and left hanging until the whole was paid. The families of such of our brethren a's" had fallen while fighting the very battles of his Highness were compelled to pay the taxes to which the deceased were subjected during their lifetime. " When coal-mines were discovered in the mountains, we were obliged to work them at our own expense, without any salary, and we had moreover to provide our selves with the tools indispensable for the purpose. Soldiers were placed over us to superintend the works, who held their sticks constantly raised over the unhappy miners. The carriage of the coal was to be effected by us, and at our cost ; of the money we laid out in pur chasing tools, timber, bags, &c., only one lf our th was refunded, and the sums which we paid for the mainte nance of the emirs and the boulouk bongus, or over , seers of the works, were never taken into account. " While building the lazaretto we were treated in a precisely similar manner. It would be too long to enu merate all- the horiible vexations we have endured, and 'which you know as well as we do ; they, have reduced us to the miserable condition of the Egyptian fellabs, and, like them, we are igneminiously driven with the stick. " Additional contributions have been laid on our mills ; the masons, carpenters, locksmiths, in short, all the operati/es the Government required, have been seized and removed to St. Jean d'Acre and to the quarantine. "We are ruined and ill-treated ; we have neither • cattle nor money left ; our children have been pressed and incorporated with the regUlar militia (nizam) ; our crops, after paying the taxes, are••inadequate to our support ; our beasts of burden are continually ordered for public service, and we obliged to drive them ; to free ourselves from that tyranny we have repeatedly thrown thew down precipices, when we could not secretly part with them for whatever price we could get. " Not long since, when exactions and war visited our biethren in the Haouran, the Government gave us arms, and sent us to subdue them, which we did on two occasions.. We lost. many men in that unjust war, which we made again s t o ur i nc li na ti ons and with the sole hopa of Obtaining some redress of our grievances after pacify ing the country. We have been shamefully deceived, and, besides our losses in men, those expeditions cost us 2,000 purses (250,000 talaris). Finally, now that we are ruined, that out brothers and sons are no more, that wo groan in bondage, and that the excess of our sufferings render them intolerable, we, have resolved on seeking a refuge in death, or reco vering our liberty,. and we aecordintly have risen in arms against eur,oppressors. " we. Are . ready., to, submit a,ncl„ return ,to our allegiance ! our intention is not to assert our inde pendence, bUC merely to' Shake Off the 'yoke which has been imposed 'upon 'us. •Wc are' 'determined hereafter to pay only the tax of .3nizi on our landed ,property. Once our demands shall have been acceded to, and when the vexations, conscriptions, forced labour, Sic., unknown is the-country previous to the Egyptian domination, shall have been abolished, we will submit ; but, as we have learned, to our cost, not to trust to the word and written engagements of his Highness, we shall lay down our arms only after those conditions shall have been guaranteed to us by the agents of England and France, in order, should those treaties not be faithfully and punctually executed, that we may appeal to the mediating Powers, and obtain justice from them. " We shall remain where we are until we receive your reply. If it be conformable to our demands, we shall all return to our homes. If not, we are deter mined to die sooner_than submit to the condition under which we laboured previous to the insurrection. You are not.aware of our position and resolution. Let the authorities judge and decide. _ '•• 7 " Your slave's, " THE INHABITANTS OF THE MOUNTAINS." TRADE WITH CHINA. , A collection of the memorials addressed to Govern ment by the merchants interested - in the trade with China has been laid before Parliament, of which the memorial of the Committee of the London East India and China Association to Lord Palmerston last No vember is the most important, as, according to to the assurance of that Society in the Report, published about the beginning of this year, the greatest pains were taken to obtain the opinion of persons familiar with the Chinese trade before that Cornmittee gave their sentiments to the Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Hence the memorial may be considered to embrace the opinions of practical men on the subject of our position with China, and hence the following analysis is given :—ln the first place, the memorialists, while touching on the subject of opium, express their con viction that it is unjust to throw blame on the mer chants connected with the opium trade, when the Committees of both Houses had declared, after mature deliberation, and with a full knowledge of the subject —those committees and their witnesses consisting of all parties and of men of the highest moral character —that it did not appear desirable to abandon so im portant a branch of revenue. In further support of this opinion they adduced the connivance of the Can ton authorities, who had given the merchants to un derstand that the Government would be satisfied at the mere removal of the opium vessels from Whampoa Bay, and this exonerated them from culpability. At the same time the memorialists are no advocates for the continuance of a trade formally protested against by the Chinese Government, but aro of opinion that, if the Chinese persist in prohibiting the import, the traders must be left to Chinese laws, and cannot call on their own Government to assist them. To show that one of the chief grounds of resistance by the Chi nese to the opium trade was the exportation of silver, the memorialists give the following statement : From July 1, 1837, to the 30th of June, 1838, the exports from China were— Tea 59,561,576 Silk Other articles At 55. per dollar, 12,589,924=£3,147,481 Paid for by British manufactures, Metals £ 620,114 Cottons 1,640,781 Opium ----X5,637,052 Giving a balance against China of X 2,489,57 t which it is clearly seen is chiefly produced by the pre ponderating, item of opium. Turning their attention from a trade which it is probable may never be legalized, and must be carried on at the greatest risk, the memorialists consider how best to protect the trade in British metals and manufac tures,•which is about 1,250,0001. per annum, and the trade . between British India and China, which is about 2,000,0001., both being susceptible of exten sion. Tea costs nearly 3,000,000/. per annum, and the prohibition of opium as a medium , of purchase is thought likely to cause a partial receursc,.to silver by the purchasers of tea aad silk ; but still, considering the probable extension of the trade, the memorialists claim the protection of Government, and,. to show ho t w e it v may t be best afforded, point ou t.the.circumstances of the trade since it was thrown open in 18;34. During the existence of the monopoly h India" Corripany derived all its commercial profits from the, C i omPanY, to, keep in , stock a certain the China trade, wh n ile en t c h e e ptroovitshioenms of fi t ie heLe&islat r n f te e n ' t cir l et i tcl e a ' unit t ri e et a Y4 ' . ° t t rad t e e a :w a s - a matter' of vital c a i i `stoppagelnt p o o n r ta o o f d by threatening and hence, although the Committee at atotteT.iptitieddrawto, isltei;nidgaetneertaliTy Chineseeontrive to avoid an 'open rupture, and this policy was approved by the Court of Directors at home. forbidden the merchantt o at the From personal m o tives the Co npany's Committee were trade of their masters ; b u t Canton being a free ag en t, he will le ave th e coun try now bile, nles the trade being proteetedi n his comfort, position, and safety, . under representative of the the protection of a Crown, company of insults merch wh an ie t, c h s ni h ri le g a h y t have been endu re d b y a consulting their interests,. must be resented by the the e iee te n n oufiinaatgiroenat nation.

The objects of the treaty which have been already before the public in the notice of the fourth report of this Association are, it may be remem bered, to admit the English to certain northward ports in addition to Canton, to allow trade generally with the natives (or, if limited to Hangs, the solvency of these Hongs to -be gearan teed by Government), to grant the freedom of the British from insult, the establishment of a tariff, a direct communication between the Queen's representa tive and the Emperor, an alteration of the laws, so that each British subject should only be liable for his own act, and the cession of an island by purchase or otherwise, in case of a refusal by the Chinese to open their ports generally.—Times. N COUNT MONTHOLON. The friends o' Count 111ontholon have been thrown into great distress by the news of his arrest. They have for some time past been uneasy at seeing him embrace the hopeless case of a wild adventurer, but they never anticipated his committing himself to welt an excess. His conduct is the more surprising as be watt no longer in tke desperate condition as to finances which would have rendered such conduct probable. M. de Montholon• •some years sines was induced to enter into extensive speculations which ended in his ruin, and after having lost nearly 80,0004 curling, and incurred debts to about the same amount, he was de clared a bankrupt. About a year ago the Manias de Semonville, his father-in-law and adopted father, died, and M. de Montholon was enabled—after having been in such re dueect circumstances as even to have been compelled to offer for sale the articles of dress (the great coat and hat) worn by Napoleon at Water loo, the dressing-case lent by George the Fourth, when Prince Regent, to Napoleon, and some watches, &c., all of which had been left to him by the Emperor —to appear again in the position which belonged to him. M. de Montholon began, much to his honour, by paying the debts for which he was no longer responsible, and the decree of bankruptcy against him was annulled. He was, to use the French term, rehasilite, the highest honour wit , ch an honest man can enjoy in France, for it, is only to be obtained by paying debts of this description. The cases in which rehabilitation takes place are rare, and they are chiefly with commercial men, who have an object in regaining their credit ; but with M. do Mon tholon, who had relinquished all commercial pursuits, the proceeding was one of exclusive and sterling in , tegrity. His present position is, therefore, ont which inspires great pity. M. de Montholon is highly con nected ; the Prefect of the Seine is, I believe, his ❑ephew, and no less than seven Peers of Franoe are said to be related to him. It is a very curious circumstance, than on the very day when he was arrested at Botilogne his letters of • nobility as • Marquis de Semonv lle, an additional title which, by the French law, he inherited from his adopted , father, were being registered in Paris. General Montholon was never considered to be a man of sound judgment, and his admiration of Napo leon extended to the name itself ; but no person thought he was so rash and imprudent as he has proved himself to be. He was' indeed suspected of conspiring with Prince Louis, and this is the reason why ho was not permitted to go to St. Helena with Bertrand ; but up to the last moment it was supposed that he would rather give good counsel to young Bonaparte than be led away by the folly of the adventurer to whom be had trans ferred his allegiance. Many of the journals speak of him as old Montholon ; this is hardly a correct descrip tion ; for although he is nearly, if not quite sixty years of age, he is full of energy and vigour, and, with the exception of the consequences of a wound, which occa sionally makes him lame, he was fit for any military en terprise..—Evening Paper. TORY MOVEMENT IN MIMING- HAM. !!' (From thtfre4 4l tfi i..T `Coit fi ri , o4.. 0v .. N0 BIIIMINCIAIII„—thiLkay A object of the present project, is no less a matter than the impeachment of a Minister of the Crown, Lord Viscount Palmerston ; and his chief accusers are Mr. Charles Attwood, of Newcastle, Mr. Urquhart, Mr. Monteith, Mr. Sheppard, and a number of other gee tleruen belonging to the ultra-Tory party, who have combined with the more violent of the Chartist leaders in Birmingham, in their efforts to attain this object. The more moderate of the Chartist body, headed by Mr. Collins, who has just obtained his liberation from Warwick gaol, are opposed to the present movement, and are taking active measures to counteract it, with what success it is not easy lo determine, as the party is pretty equally divided upon the question. To-morrow, a public meeting, called by Mr. Charles Attwood, is to take place at Holloway Head, " to con sider certain allegations to be brought forward, that a Minister of this country labours to bring about its down fall, and that a rupture with France and simultaneous embarrassments with other Powers, are parts of a syste matic scheme for that effect." This is the gist of the placard, which ends by calling upon the people to ob serve order and decorum, that the measures to be adopted for" averting the ruin of the country, by a timely investi gation, according to the legal and constitutional usage of the country," may not be thwarted. The placard has produced much excitement, and m,ny.ruinours are afloat as to the probable reset of the day's proceedings. The Chartists say that the articles of impeachment were placed in the hands of Lord Melbourne on Friday night, and that the Government are determined to arrest Mr. Attwood on Monday, and prevent the meeting from beinc , held. _ _ In consequence of this statement a placard was tha morning issued by Mr. Edwin Thompson. A meeting was held last evening, by adjournment, in the Old Square, at which the resolutions to 'be sub mitted at the meeting to-morrow were agreed upon ; and it was also determin e d, i n or d er to give additional weight to the important subject of the proceedings, to present a requisition to the Mayor, P. H. Muntz., Esq., to issue his mandate for holding it. A deputa tion, consisting of the requisitionists, are w;th the Mayor while I write, but there is little probability h will lend the sanction of his name. MURDER, AND SUICIDE OF TIIE MURDERER IN FRANCE. (From 'the Gazette des Tribunaux) A dreadful murder, followed by the suicide of the murderer, has been committed at Boeseghen, a com mune situate about a league from the city of Aire, upon the route to Hazebrouck. The man, Georg e Bernet, lived in concubinage with hi s servant, EU phrosine Bourlier, aged 42 years, whom he shot with a pistol, and whilst she was stretched on the ground w-eltering in blood, he armed himself with a gu n, loaded it with buck-shot, the barrel of which he placed against his left side, under the heart, in which, by stepping upon the trigger with his foot, ho lodged the custents. His death was instaneous. The un happy man had carefully loaded those weapons pre viously, and was thus well prepared to carry into execu. tion his projected crime. The motives which led him to the commission of this clime are not authentically known, it is said his victim was pregnant, and morever that she had given birth to a child. It appears that the mental faculties of Bernet, who has always led an eccentric life, had become im paired. ll , eended frcm Protestant parents, who we settled in a coun t r y w h ere Catholicism alone is known, r he embraced the latter religion at an advanced age. Ho was, however, never considered to be seriously converted ; he mixed not in the affairs of the commune, or had communication with the in habitants ; he was never seen at mass or at taverns, but was a great sportsman, and passed kis life alone in the fields and woods with his dog and gun. He was an athletic man; and of aindictivo disposition, two qualities, which did not increase him in the estimation of hi ll neighbours, who, when passing near his dwelling, w h en he was there, heard litCe else than imprecations and blasphemies. Bernet was in the possession of a co ni . fortable living - , and had some property. Tho servant. it is said, had just sunk under the effects of the wound. IRON STEAMER.—Her Majesty's steam vessel Dover sailed Innee, on Saturday last, for Dover, from which place to Calais or Ostend she is intended, we under.. stand, permanently to ply. The Dover was planned and built by Mr. John Laird, of North Birkenhead, and the engines were fitted on board by Messrs. Fawcett and Co. ; and, being the first iron vessel in her Alajesty's service, comparisons will, no doubt, be made between her and the other boats on the same station. From the performance of the Dever on her ti ial trips here, there is every reason to expect, that, in addition to the advantage of drawing much less water, she will possess more speed than any of her competitors..—Liverpool Albion. 25 O d a e 0 0 6 sgi , e. 6 . ••—", ,••• $ O. 13c oci to al SO` oj ; h a l+ 6 to ,re° c ol '1:1;0.• uah te• of lb° ojrs• for Id, ri
