The.,qhancellor of the Exchequer furnished to the House of Commons, last night, a history of the at tempt (in which he is still engaged) to fund exchequer V ti•• bills, The operation is little calculated to raise Mr. -1 ,-, Spring Rice's character as a financier. '*- ' The one great truth in connection with this affair, is —that . the public debt of England is rapidly increasing. To this complexion has our " retrenching" govern ment come at last. Under the sway of the whigs our debt increases, while our revenue declines. The mea sure of increase, moreover, in the public burdens of the country promises to be of no moderate character. Warlike operations on a very extensive scale may soon be necessary in India. Canada, in like manlier, may, at no distant period, prove the scene of most expensive - ...;' ' hostilities. If, again, we turn to the east of Europe, it ..• is impossible to avoid the conclusion that the honour sat and the interest of England may speedily require our naval force in the Mediterranean, to be doubled or even 11.; ebled in amount. ~..?;'iThese prospects are of no flattering kind; nor is Aiieir bitterness redeemed by the circumstance that the Ot , , rtilers, whose imbecility has produced the existing state ~- ' of affairs, are " liberals" by profession, as well as cla morous expounders of the blessings of "cheap govern . merit." Omitting, however, all reference to the im pending risk of a vast augmentation, hereafter, in the public burdens, already have we arrived at the certainty, that the funded debt is about to be increased (providing the Chancellor of the Exchequer shall be able to find customers) to the extent of four millions ; while the unfunded debt will not, we may rest assured, be lessened to the extent of a single shilling. Fresh ex chequer bills to the amount about to be cancelled, will, .:- .. undoubtedly, be issued without delay—and for this 4:i. simple reason, that Mr. Spring Rice will find himself -... unable to get on without the use of fresh sums of mo ney. The revenue is not equal to the current expendi-. tore of the country :—where, then, may be found the . 4 ,: means of paying the dividends that will accrue upon ~.' the stock about to be created ? Will the whigs impose b : 4 • - fresh taxes to meet the deficiency ? Scarcely—so long i , as they shall be enabled to adopt the more convenient - course of borrowing money for that purpose. The imposition of new taxes is an unpopular operation. ~. Mr. Spring Rice and his colleigues will, therefore, --: leave•that operation to be attempted or rejected by their . 4 - 4 Arucicessors. Fresh masses of exchequer bills will, in Mainean time, be issued, in order to furnish dividends r L: to the holders of the newly-created stock, as well as to 9:4, meet our increasing expenses in Canada and India. ti There is the penny-postage plan, moreover—a plan that 'cil,lttut, in the nature of things, lessen, for a time at 'least, the revenue by half a million, or, perhaps, by a , :,. rger,amount. Exchequer bills must, in this case ice. last 9 Aupply all deficiencies. I isicl4ext year Mr. Spring Rice, or his successor in office, 17. 3 44 . Ada4stredly be compelled to fund sundry millions .

In the year 1836, he disre • - f „ . .garded the suggestions of practical men to fund a por • tion of the large mass of exchequer bills then in cir wxculation—although in the beginning of that year, the !ti =state of the money market afforded singular facilities • Tor the operation recommended to his adoption. He was, at last , compelled to parry the claims of the hold -1,,... ers of exchequer bills, by raising the interest from three -x halfpence per cent. per day to twopence-halfpenny—a -I—movement which cost the country half a million of 141 " money. In like manner, he has, in the present year, t _ postponed his attempt to fund four millions of exche -- quer bills until the rate of interest has risen to a height ....• absolutely unparalleled—and until, by consequence, - - -,t- the difficulty of inducing the holders of redeemable "r " claims upon government to convert these into claims :;, that are irredeemable, has been prodigiously increased. ~, Mr. Spring Rice is a fair specimen of Nvhig states -NI men.

The present number of this excellent periodical fully justifies the encomiums which we bestowed upon its predecessor. Many of its articles possess a high claim upon our attention. " The Noble Science," from the pen of Nimrod, will afford a rich treat to the Sportsman. " The Last of my Teens" rises far above mediocrity, which is more than can be said of nine tenths of the magazine poetry of the present day. The - remarks on " The Birmingham Riots and the Whig Leaders" are sensible and judicious. The castigation administered by the author on the recreant hides of the 5, Liberals is not more severe than merited. " A Peep into-Countries and Counties" is in Nimrod's best style.

MEMOIR OF ARCHIBALD BOLAM.—No. 11. (From the Newcastle Journal.) The entrance of Bolam into the large and respectable Academy kept by the late Mr. Bruce, in Percy-street, and continued by his exemplary son, was an advancement in lifq exceedingly gratifying to the feelings of a young and aspiring' mind, inasmuch as it originated with Mr. Bruce himself, who entertained a very high opinion of Bolam, and offered an augmentation of his pecuniary resources as an inducement for him to make the change. Nor was this the only instance in which his amiable disposition, general good behaviour, and industry, secured for, him the esteem and approbation of those with whom he became professionally connected. Whilst at Caistron, as before mentioned, he had many warm and sincere friends, and during his subsequent engagement under the Directors of the Newcastle Savings' Bank; he appears to have been equally fortunate in this respect ; and those friends he maintained to the last, as was most strikingly evinced on his trial, when a host of highly respectable inffividuals came forward, and gave testimony in favour of his general charac ter. Indeed, his conduct through life appears to have been most exemplary. Minor details of biographical notices are valuable princi pally on account of the character which they tend to developc. They throw aside; as it were, the veil behind which the'mo fives of human action are hidden—they remove the tinselled garb assumed for portraiture and effect—and reveal the cha racter of the individual in naked comeliness or deformity. In this light, then, must we regard the apparently trivial cir cumstances we are about to relate in regard to the subject of the present memoir. In the year 1819, one of the pupils of Mr. Bruce, named Henry Shield, experienced the misfortune of breaking his leg, in one of those romps in which schoolboys so frequently indulge. This circumstance appears to have created, as it well might, some degree of anxiety and uneasiness among the heads of the establ4hment, and accordingly, as was the practice with Bolam In regard to almost every matter which interested him deeply, he made a record of the event among his private memoranda. The entry is not very clear, hut we shall transcribe it, such as it is, with the remarks, which ap pear to have been made by others, or 'suggested to his own mind, on the occasion : " 1819—May 4. *Henry Shield's leg broken. 'lf I find you or any other boy fighting or inducing other boys to fight, I will punish you most severely ; there is no excuse:for fight ing, and, James Duke, if ever. I find you fighting again, I will give you something that you will remember as long as you live:' Question.— How did the quarrel originate ?' John Smith diverted himself at the expence of E. Duncan. John Smith you are the oldest boy among them, and you have been at my school nearly six years ; you" should know better. However I must give you a complete flogging.' " Mr. Bruce cries aloud to Duncan— All that you have to do is to come and tell me, if either he or any boy in'the school touches you ; if you do not you may blame yourself.' " These salutary admonitions, and the method of enforcing them so prominently referred to, mark the course of school discipline at the time in question, when the rod, the ferula, or the birch was the sceptre of dominion, and the only ar guments advanced to illustrate and vindicate the laws of such an establishment. In regard to Mr. Bruce himself, however, it is only proper to add, that he was no less dis tinguished for the humanity of his character on all occasions than for his exquisite acquirements, in witness whereof, ap peal can be safely made to hundreds of individuals in almost every rank and profession in life, who derived instruction from his counsels, and habits of activity and usefulness from the discipline which he enforced, always with firmness, and yet without unnecessary rigour. Shortly after the transaction above referred to, a rather curious incident befel the individual concerning whom we write. Bolam, after the labours of the day were over, was in the habit of indulging himself with a stroll into the country ; and on these occasions his mind would often re vert to the scene of his former labours near the pebbly basin of the Coquet. It is perhaps necessary to state that Mr. Bruce's school was situate near the north east end of Percy street, a few yards from the Barras Bridge, which carries the turnpike over a small rivulet, dividing the town of New castle from the moor or common, which belongs by chartered right, to the freemen of the ancient borough. The burn or rivulet still exists, but its course is under ground from the head of Eldon-street to St. Thomas's Chapel, whence emerging it runs along the Dean, and thence by a conduit through Pandon to the river Tyne. Twenty years ago, when the freemen held undisturbed possession of their inheritance, asses and other beats of burthen belonging to the poor among the privileged class, were permitted to feed upon the common, and to consume the grass in the lanes .near the vicinity of the town. During one of Bolam's evening walks, he had the misfortune to be attacked by a he ass, as he him self describes it, near the Barras Bridge, and but for timely assistance, might have fallen a victim to its ferocity. He was, however, rescued from his perilous situation, without having sustained any material injury, by some persons who witnessed the onset, and his..quadruped antagonist was put to flight. As a curious coincidence he remarks that on the same day he had'seen two young men boxing on the Leazes. Among the jottings in his note book, at this period, we find transcribed the following, to use his own terms, " most extraordinary sublime lines," and as they accord so strictly with what appears to have been his feeling throughout the greater portion of his life, as well as from their own intrinsic worth, though well known, we do not hesitate in interrupt ing the course of our narrative by introducing them, " Could we with ink the ocean fill, Was the whole earth of parchment made, Was every single stick a quill, Was every man a scribe by trade ; To write the Love of God above Would drain the ocean dry ; Nor could the scroll contain the whole, Tho' stretched from sky to sky." - - During the vacation in the summer of 1819 Bolam visited Edinburgh, for the purpose of still further improving himself, and on his return he spent a few days with his friends at Harbottle. The plan of his journey was well considered be forehand, and he appears to have been anxious not to neglect so favourable - an opportunity of hearing the popular preachers in which that great city abounded. With that view he pro- vided. himself with a list of , their names, and the churches and chapels with which they were connected. Mr. Bruce's school broke .up on Thursday the 17th of June, and Bolam set out from Newcastle to Edinburgh on the following Satur day, and arrived in that city in the afternoon of Tuesday, June the 22d. He engaged lodgings the same evening in Nicholson's-street, nearly opposite the college; and on the following morning entered Mr. Ewing's class in Hanover street. He entered the writing class of Mr. Scott, St. An drew's-square, on the Friday, and spent the following day (Saturday) in visiting Edinburgh Castle, Lord Nelson's mo nument, and Holyrood House. On the first Sunday which he spent in Edinburgh, he attended the Methodist chapel in the morning, the Burgher meeting house in the afternoon, and the College meeting in the evening, thus keeping up that strict observance of religious duty for which he was always distinguished. The only text he appears to have recorded was that taken by Dr. Jamieson in the College meeting-house, on the second Sunday that Bolam was in Edinburgh ; and it is not a little remarkable that it should embody that fine moral sentiment in relation to social life which he subse quently so brutally and inhumanly outraged—" It is a good thing to see brothers dwell together in unity." He was ex ceedingly attentive to his studies whilst in Edinburgh, and in order to facilitate his adoption of the various methods of tuition practised by the able masters under whom he studied, he wrote down ample descriptions of them, which are still preserved, but which it is not necessary here to transcribe. Mr. Bruce's school re-opened on the 2d August, and on the 24th of July, Bolam reached Harbottle on his return to Newcastle. Here he spent the few days at his disposal, after which he came to Newcastle and resumed his labours, im proved, as he observes, both intellectually and physically, by his excursion. Up to this period he seems to have carefully abstained from interfering in politics ; notwithstanding the stirring events of the time in which he lived, his reading appears to have been almost exclusively confined to religious books, and such as were calculated to improve his mind and qualify him for the duties of the profession in which he was engaged, according to the notions then generally entertained amongst persons of his class. In the month of November this year (1819,) he became a subscriber to the Newcastle Chronicle, which, how ever, he subsequently abandoned in favour of the Courant. In the following year, he entered into an arrangement with his brother John, who then had taken up his residence in Newcastle, Mr. Anderson, and Dr. Elliot, and took in Cob bett's Weekly Register, and some other works published by that extraordinary individual, who was at that time approach ing the zenith of his literary fame. Bolam was a member of the Arcade News Room from its commencement, and was observed in general to be pretty regular in his attendance, though he never took a prominent part in either general or local politics. Bolam left Mr. Bruce's establishment in the summer of 1820 ; the school broke up on the 14th of June, and he went to the Royal Jubilee School, in the New Road, on the fol lowing day. lie was introduced to Mr. Drury, the head master of the school, by the late Mr. Bruce, who still retained for him a very high respect, and manifested a willingness to forward his interests as much as possible. He did not remain long in the Jubilee School, though the precise reason of his quitting that establishment we have been unable correctly to ascertain. On the 7th of November, in the same year, he was elected an ordinary member of the Newcastle Literary and Philosophical Society, and his course of reading at this period may be seen by the following extract from the books of that establishment : - Sadler's lErial Voyage across the Channel, &c..... Nov. 13 Mungo Parke's Travels in Africa — 20 Ditto Ditto Second Mission .... Dec. 5 Speeches of the Right Hon. W. Pitt Jeremy Bentham on Morals and Legislation — 23 Watts Essays Goldsmith's Animated Nature Jan. 28 Condorcet's Life of Voltaire He left the Royal Jubilee School at Christmas, 1820, and entered Miss Stoe's school, on the 9th of January in the following year. At this time he was engaged in connection with the Sayings' Bank in this town, the business of which, however, it being then in its infancy, was not of very great extent, and did not require the whole of his services. Close application to study, and the various duties which devolved upon him, at length affected his health, and he was com pelled for a time to abandon his professional engagements. His situation at the Savings' Bank was filled during his ill ness by a Mr. Taylor, and Bolam seems ,after this to have relinquished scholistic duties altogether. On his recovery he returned to the Bank, where he remained until the melan choly event which will henceforth stamp his name with Infamy. REVISING BARRISTERS APPOINTED BY MR.

On Tuesday evening last, a most numerous and respectable meeting of the friends of religion, morality, and " social" order, took place at the Music-hall, to hear Mr. Brindley, the talented and energetic opponent of the system denomi nated "Socialism," deliver a lecture in exposition of the insidious, immoral, and atheistical principles promulgated amongst the ignorant and unwary by the arch-leaders of that anti-Christian and abhorrent system. The room, soon after the hoar appointed for the chair to be taken, became filled in every part by a respectable assem blage, including many ladies. Amongst the gentlemen pre sent we noticed the Revs. Fielding Ould, Fallcon, R. _Young, Squance, J. M` Crea, W. Maynard, 'and Power. There were also on the platform, General M`lnnes, T. Sands, Esq., Dr. Sleigh, and many, others. The Rev. FIELDING °nen was unanimously called to the chair, and stated that the object of the meeting was, first, to hear an address, to be delivered by Mr. Brindley in oppo sition to the systein misnamed " Socialisni," and in exposi tion of its fallacies and Rernicious effects, with a view (on the conviction of those present of the truth of the statements advanced, of which he entertained no doubt) to procure the signatures of the ladies of Liverpool to an address to the Queen, on the late insulting presentation to her Majesty of Robert Owen, the father of Socialism—a system founded on atheism and immorality, and which in practice fostered and induced all species of licentiousness.. He had seen a publi cation denying this ; but, to satisfy himself, he had searched " The Social Bible," and found therein his worst impres sions fully verified. [The rev. gentleman here read extracts, laying down the principles—that it was ridiculous to worship anything heavenly ; that the correct practice of life was for man to abide by truth" towards each other; and that" the only means of human happiness was a " community," in which the irrational sounds of " husband and wife," and similar distinctions, would never more be heard. (Shame !) [Here Mr. FINCH, the Socialist, who had found his way into the room, and had seated himself near the chair, ex claimed, That book is not authorised by, Mr. Owen," "He has protested against it," &c.] This gratuitous and, as it was known, unfounded disavowal, was received with hisses and laughter.—Mr. SQUANCE said, that the meeting was one called for a peculiar object, which admitted of no discussion, and consequently of no interruption.—Mr. Finch, though frequently requested to leave the room, and as often pacified by those near him, continued to wince under the lash lustily wielded againit Socialism and its promulgators, and continued to interrupt; the speakers, by ejaculations contradictory of the statements made, or applausive of the principles of Socialism ' at which the meeting expressed its abhorrence. He was tolerated with great, patience. and, his denials briefly but triumphantly refuted lay Mr. Brindley, until towards the close of the meeting, when he foolishly rose to propose an amendment to the address. _Tim force of patience could no further go, and he was ejected. This pre fatory explanation will supersede the necessity of our recur ring to Mr. Finch's interruptions in our necessarily brief report of the proceedings.] The CHAIRMAN resumed. The poor, be lamented to say, would become the especial victims of Socialism,' and. was it not checked, it would spread infidelity and misery on the land. He had read that very day of a poor man who had imbibed the principles of Socialism, and had become insol vent : when his case was brought up for hearing before the commissioner, the poor debtor was not allowed to take the necessary ' oath, as his belief precluded it, and lie was in consequence remanded back to prison. The system went to sap the very foundations of Christianity itself; to destroy all its admirable and humanizing effects ; to de priye those afflicted of the balm of its consolations. What, he would ask, was a more delightful, a more blessed sight, than a poor but pious, family, offering up their prayers and adorations to the throne of the Most High ! (Cheers.) Yet, of this Ptivilege, would Socialism deprive them. He,had seen, too,)he wife of an industrious man, who was heart hrtikenlay hee hugband attending the meetings of the Social ists. For himself, he was resolved so far as his church was concerned, to preserve all around him, to the utmost of his ,power,froM the baleful contamination of Socialism. (Cheers.) With these opinions, he could not bet feel the utmost indig iiationa'when he learned that the man who was the very type s and 4:wider of this infamous system had been presented to her MairestY.' The' Socialists should take shame to them selves ,for.haaiag thus dared to insult their young, virtuous, and uniu4Pecting Sovettign. (Cheers.) It might be asked, what had the ladies of. Liverpool to do with this. But he tbougha'ahat none could, on such an occasion, so fitly rally round the throne, to which , such 'an indignity had been offered, as the IaSII4 of England ; who so competent by their indig nant condeeinatioe of the principles of Socialism, to preserve the dignify of that illustrious female. (Cheers.) He would not farther tresPass upon theihne of the meeting, who would now hear the address of Mr. Brindley. (Cheers.) Mr. BRINDLEY then stepped forward, an d was rece i ve d with great applause. He said that the subject having been so ably introduced by their respected chairman, enabled him to proceed at 'once to prove what he had said against Social ism, and bow far it was dana ' erous, as had been alleged, to join such a meeting as thi s . The system was one that in volved infidelity in its worst form. Infidelity was nothing new : it had been inculcated in various ways from the time when the aiicient mythology prevailed ; but it was left for Socialism to scrape together all its worst and most demoral izing qualitie, without any of thoe refinements that in earlier ages imparted to it a graCe and an allurement. It was a wicked and shameless system of debasement—a system the most wicked, the most demoralizing that had ever entered into the mind of man. (Cheers.) His attention had been called to sa letter signed " John Finch,". in the Albion. In this letter, he (Mr. B.) was charged with uttering gross falsehoods and mirepresentatiOns these"assertions he should be enabled to refute. The letter. was ,addressed "to the ladies of Liver pool," and its object was to deter them from signing the pe tition lihich wouldhe presented that night. Mr. Finch, in his " letter," says, " Ladies, before . you engage in so infamous ae, undertaking, / wish you to ascertain who the parties are who put Mr. Brindley forward, &c." to ascertain the facts relative to the late presentation of Mr. Owen at court, and the address he delivered, because I feel confident, ,that if these things were known, no lady who has any regard for her character will have anything to do with' this notable ad dress and meeting." The object of Mr. Finch had not, been accomplished ; he had made a mistake in his calculations ; the ladies have come to the meeting ; and that, too, in un precedented numbers ; and whether they Lave any regard for their character, I leave for M r . Fi nc h t o settle.—(Cheers.) Alluding to his,(Mr, Brindley's) late successful exposition of the socialist system in Liverpool, Mr. Finch proceeds to say, " If he - (Mr. B.) call it a victory, we hope he will gain a few more such victories, as it has increased our subscriptions, and made our audiences larger anaa Laaa.sasso 13 " who are the parties wise fait Mr. Brindles , forward in Liver pool? 'Let them give the names, and, inhey are sufficiently respectable, we will appoint an individual, officially, from our body, to meet Mr. Brindley,,or any other individual, in public discussion, upon fair and equal terms." Equal terms, indeed ! (said Mr. Brindley) ; that meant, no doubt, the pocketing of the cash.—(Laughter.) Mr. - Finch, on a pre vious proposition for a discussion, had very modestly made it a preliminary that they (the Socialist) should have the cash. The same letter endeavoured to cast a stigma upon him (Mr. B.), by insinuating that he was actuated by mercenary and unworthy motives—that he wanted money. , Yes ! he con fessed it; he wanted bags of money—not for himself—but to put down this abominale system of Socialism.—(Cheers.) With respect to who it was that put him forward, he would tell Mr. Finch that he put himself forward ; that he was backed by no public Society; that he proceeded on his own responsibility ; and that he hoped yet,,hy.a few ; more " vic tories," to increase." the numbers, the subscriptions, and the audiences !" of the Socialists.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Finch next accused him of having excited his audiences in several places to acts of personal violence against the So cialists. He defied them to the proof of this. On the con trary, he had protected Mr. Finch and, others from violence, which their conduct and principles had excited, and which would otherwise have fallen upon them. The Socialists had not so treated him. They had gone in a body into the room in which he was to lecture in Worcester, had broken up the meeting, and destroyed his furniture to the amount of £lO. (Shame.)—This amount the Corporation of Worcester had handsomely refunded, but he had lost the receipts of the meeting and was saddled with all its expenses. Mr. Finch, in his letter next said, " We challenge Mr. Brindley and his friends to name a single individual, in this or any other country ; or in this or any other age of the world, more be nevolent, more virtuous, more disinterested, or more per severingly useful to mankind than Robert Owen," and he goes on to say—" The Queen insulted by receiving at court Robert Owen! Why, future generations will consider it the brightest gem on the crown, that she governed a country in which Robert Owen was born !" (Loud laughter.) " Yes, but says Mr. Brindley, (continues the letter,) the ladies ought to be indignant because Mr. Owen says, ' that, in his New Moral World, marriage will be abolished, and the irrational sounds of husband and wife will never be heard.' Mr. Brindley has been repeatedly told, that thig is a malici ous, wicked, and wilful falsehood." He (Mr .. B.) would reply to the writer of the letter. Mr. Owen himself has ex pressed, stated, and published, that marriage was an iniqui tous satanic ordination, and that there would be no happi ness on earth until it were abolished. (Loud cheers.) He (Mr. B.) would show that Socialism was at once an ignorant, an irrational, an atheistical, and blasphemous system. He should show this from their books and other evidence. With respect to the ignorance which it involved, in their " Book of the Moral World," it was laid down, that in their Social communities, that there should be a perfect freedom of thought and action; that they might act, and express their thoughts and fellings, as they pleased. Mr. Owen, the pro jector of this scheme, said, that no two individuals were alike in organization, physically or mentally, and that the object was to train them to amalgamation. Yet, he said in another of his writings, that no two were alike, and no hu man art could make them so. Thus, after all, the " Social communities" would only be so many Babels, each consist ing of 2000 or 3000 individuals. It was laid down, too, that each individual should, in infancy, be imbued with true ideas, without any admixture of error,—yet Mr. Owen himself, became, in his own estimation, the wisest, and most virtuous man on earth, although he had lived amongst all the imputed " irrationality, ignorance, and insanity" of this world, till he attained ten years of age, when he was roused to a sense of his ignorance and debasement by scalding his throat with red-hot flummerty. Mr. Owen, however, contended, in op position to his own case, that if individuals were not imbued with true ideas from infancy, without any admixture of error, they could not possibly, be redeemed from error in after life.' If so, why come to them who had grown old 'in error to' endeavour to redeem them ? or why blame them who had not had the advantage of Social system (a laugh) for being irrational, unsocial, and insane. (Cheers.) Socialism (con tinned Mr. Brindley,) was an unnatural, unsocial, and un just system. It inculcated the doctrine that so holy a name as husband and wife should no longer be heard. (Mr., Finch said—" No." A gentleman in the room said—" I heard him state the fact in the Queen's Theatre." (Cheers followed this statement.) He (Mr. B.) had heard Mr. Owen say, that so long as children were brought up with their parents, there would be a mutual desire to assist and favour each other to the exclusion of the community at large, and that, therefore, a separation must take place in early life. Thus a Socialist " Community" could not exist without an abrogation of all the dearest ties of family and domestic re lationship. It wawa mostunnatural system. It would ren der mankind not social beings, but mere gregarious animals, like flocks and ,herds, all to be served up with food such a s their overseers or rulers chose to dispense. The sympathies between parents and children endured to the latest period of life ; and how strongly were they excited in a dutiful child, even after years of separation and the influence of new ties and connexions, on learning that a parent was on the point of death. Yet Socialism went to dissever all those chords of affection. One of its propositions was, to take their chil dren from their parents when they were but two or three months old, lest children should be too loving to their pa rents, or parents love their own children better than those of others. Another abominable regulation was, that married men might, by application to the " directors," become single, if they wanted a change. The system was immoral ;' for they were to be allowed to express their sentiments as they liked, and there was to be no modification of affection. The Bazaar of the Socialists in London was a scene of the grossest fraud, infamy, and immorality.. Even the notorious Richard Car lile had stated that it was replete with prostitution and wickedness. lie (Mr. B.) had visited it, and could corrobo rate the fact. Their social festivals were iniquitous and dis gusting. 'One of their books, written by Robert Owen the younger, was so thoroughly indecent and disgusting, that if he had it—(be had thrown the copy he saw into the fire) — he could not venture to read a line of it to such an assem bly as that. Even Mr. Finch would shrink from reading it before any company. Mr. B. read some extracts from a Socialist work, to the effect, that, marriage was an unnatural and artificial system, and was the cause of all crime and misery ; and that those who were married lived for the most part in a state of deception and prostitution. (The reading of this extract produced . a sensation of strong indignation.) Yet the father of this , systein.was presented to our virgin Queen. He read an extract from the " New Moral World," proving that Socialiim was nothing but Atheism; also a letter from a Socialist, containing a blasphemous comparison be tween " Satan" and " God—his cousin above," and repre senting the former as the " better man." In another of their tracts it was said in effect, that " if Jesus Christ were to visit this world, he would find cause to blush for his work ; and if he had no better success in the other planets, it were better that he had never been known." (The meeting heard these passages read with much excitement.) Socialism, said 'the lecturer, had also a seditious and criminal tendency. It considered that if a crime was committed, the fault was not in the individual, who was not, being considered the creature of circumstances, a responsible being ! The Socialists and the Chartists were closely allied. They both wanted a com munity of property. It was a system that would put away their God, uproot morality, and strike at the root of social order : and it must be rooted out. The building which the Socialists contemplated building in this town should never be devoted to the intended purposes. If erected at all, it should be taken for a Sunday school, some more of which were wanted. (Cheers.) The plans be had in view to put down Socialism had been taken up in the proper quarter, and he doubted not but that next session the subject would be brought forward by the House of Lords, and would also find friends in the Commons. (Cheers.) After some fur ther observations, Mr. Brindley read the address, which will be found in our advertising columns. A copy of the petition would be given to every lady, and each, he trusted, would exert themselves to obtain signatures. Mr. B. (who, in the course of his lecture, read several extracts which, from their gross character, we have omitted) sat down amidst vehement and prolonged applause. The adoption of the petition was moved by the Rev. Mr. MAYNARD, seconded by the Rev. T. SQUANCE, and carried unanimously. Mr. VANNETT corroborated Mr. Brindley's statement that the. Socialists ,and Chartists were nearly allied, and stated a fact to prove it which he had ascertained from his own knowledge. After thanks bad been voted to Mr. Brindley and the rev. chairman, the meeting separated. STAGE COACHES.--In the Stage Carriages Bill, now be fore the House of Commons, a clause has been introduced giving to stage coach proprietors the advantage of an addi tional passenger and the reduction of a halfpenny per mile on the duty. BIRTHS AT SEA.—On the 4th of July, when the ship Ro bert Pulsford, Captain John Prince, lately arrived at Balti more, from Liverpool, was in lat. 26 deg., long. 72 deg., the wife of Mr. Lewis Lewis, one of the passengers, was safely delivered of three fine daughters. They were severally, na med Columbia, Oceana, and Victoria. The mother and children are said to be doing well. CHURCH OF ENGLAND COMMERCIAL SCHOOLS. —lt is gratifying to learn that the schools recently established by the Bishop of London and Westminster are meeting with Ac,naost marked success. In the central school, in Rose street., Soho, there are nearly 100 pupils, and at the branch school at Lambeth, upwards of 150. Schools in connection with the institution are to be established immediately at Clapham, Clerkenwell, Pimlico, Chelsea, Fulham, Hounslow, and Rotherhithe. THE MANCHESTER CHARTER.—The trial of the cause between the coroner, appointed by the Town Council ofMan chester and the county coroner, the result of which will de cide as to the validity, of the charter of incorporation recently granted to the town of Manchester, is fixed for Monday next. Sir John Campbell, the Attorney-General, will conduct the case on the part of the corporation. Loss OF AN EMIGRANTSHIP.—The Aid -de -Camp, of and for New Brunswick, from Londonderry, was lost on Friar Island, near Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 18th June. Of her 303 passengers, sixteen, says the St, John's Courier, were drowned, and the rest found tempor... ; shelter in the sugar-house of Halifax, and received humane attention from the inhabitants. CHANGE IN MR. STEPHENS' PLACE OF IMPRISONMENT. —lt will be recollected that on Thursday last, Mr. Justice Patteson sentenced Joseph Rayner Stephens to 18 months' imprisonment in the house of correction at Knutsford. We understand that on the following morning (Friday last) Mr. John Law, of this town, the defendant's attorney, waited upon the learned judge, at his lodgings, before the opening of the court, and made an application that the place of his confinement might be changed, it being usual in such cases for the term of imprisonment to be undergone in the gaol for the county. We understand that Mr. Justice Patteson said that his reason for sentencing the defendant to imprisonment in Knutsford gaol, was that he had supposed that it was the ordinary place of confinement for debtors, in the county of Chester. Mr. Law stated that that was not the case ; the debtors being confined in the gaol of the castle of Chester. The attorney-general on the part of the prosecution had ex pressed no wish to inflict on Mr. Stephens any unnecessary inconvenience or aggravation of punishment. His lordship said that under these circumstances he would alter the sen tence ; and accordingly, when he reached the court, the sen tence was altered, so far as regards the place of confinement, and the defendant is now undergoing his sentence of impri sonment in her majesty's gaol of the castle of Chester.— Manchester Guardian. SIR RICHARD CROFT.—It was proved, at the inquest held on his body, that since the death of the. Princess Char lotte, he had never been free from melancholy and abstrac tion ; and on Dr. Thackeray's asking after one of his patients, he replied, " That he would give five hundred guineas if it were over, rather than have to attend her." On the night of his suicide, he exclainied to his servant, who complained of being unwell, " What is your agitation compared to mine ?" And a few days before, he struck his forehead with much violence, in the presence of Mr. Hollings, and abruptly said to him, " Good God ! what will become of me ?" His' conduct, with reference to the Princess, was much censured at the time ; but Dr. Baillie stated every thing was done by Sir Richard Croft that skill and humanity could suggest. The fatal issue of the case filled his mind with despair, and alarmed his friends for the safety of his intellect. He was heard frequently to ejaculate to himself, " I shall go mad — I shall end my life in a mad-house—l am ruined—Who will place any confidence in me ?" As he was driving in his car riage to the Princess, when she was taken ill, he observed to a member of his family, " This case will either make me, or ruin me." Poor Sir Richard! he appears to have had a presentiment that something was about to happen which would seriously affect his prospects in life. It is said that a few days before he attended his illustrious patient, he fan cied he saw the Princess, clad in white, glide through his b e d -rnrs.., "--Phyao mod .P.A.y.Pio;ar !e _ A DESCENDANT OF WILLIAM WALLACE.—At Balti more I met and conversed with an elderly gentleman of the name of Wallace. In early life he had attended the clasSes at Edinburgh, and studied under Dr. Black and others. He boasts of being the only lineal descendant of William Wal lace, and still uses the arms and motto of that hero ; he mentioned to me that he was once in an engraver's shop in Edinburgh, giving the requisite instructions for cutting his seal, when the Earl of Buchan, who was accidentally pre sent, examined the arms and motto, and said, " Sir, there P is only one family remaining entitled to these, and that family is in Virginia." The confirmation of his innocent and praiseworthy Maims from the lips of a stranger, must have given him great satisfaction. He is a very cheerful, communicative old, gentleman, and I was really pleased to interchange a friendly grasp with a hand, the veins of which might be enriched even with a drop of the Wallace blood. On the Ist of November I arrived at Washington, where I found myself domesticated in the house of my friend Sir C. Vaughan, and surrounded by every comfort that the kindest hoot could devise, or the most luxurious traveller desire. I should feel that I was trespassing upon the privacy of friend , ship were Ito enumerate his agreeable and amiable qualities as a companion or his high character as a diplomatist, al though all who know him would bear witness to the former, and the latter is stamped by public opinion. After spending a pleasant fortnight in Washington, which city I intended to revisit in the winter, I proceeded on my tour into the west of Virginia. As I continued to travel in my waggon with my two ponies, I proposed halting the first evening at Lees burgh, a village about thirty-two miles from Washington. I had been warned that the road was undergoing a radical re form, and I started in a heavy constant rain, in order that I • might the better appreciate the necessity for such a measure : the first two miles convinced me that its adoption was never more loudly called for by Gatton or Old Sarum, by the old burgh corporations of Scotland, or by the late postoffice re gulations in America.—Murray's North America. EARLY STRUGGLES OF DR. ELLIOTSON.—" When I commenced," says Dr. Elliotson, " my professional career, I determined upon trusting for success to working hard, and to conduct myself as well as the infirmity of human nature would allow. I determined, however long I might wait for success, never to fawn upon and run after my superiors, nor to stoop meanly to my inferiors ; never to intrigue for an ad venture, nor to employ trumpery artifices for making myself known to the public. For many years I toiled, and saw many of my contemporaries, many of my juniors, who worked less, but were wiser.in'their generation, pass by me. I pub lished works, edition after edition, and paper after paper was honoured with a place in the transactions of the first medical society in Europe : I was physician to a large Metropolitan Hospital, and bad attended there, and gratuitously out of doors, above 20,000 patients : but in vain. In 1828, my pro fession was not more lucrative to me, and was as short of my actual expenses as it had been in 1818. At that time the " Lancet" was pleased, now and then, to publish a clinical lecture delivered by me at St. Thotnas's, and my practice at once doubled. The following year it published the greater part as I delivered them, and my practice was doubled again. Last season, the same journal published them all, and my practice was doubled a third time. This astonished me the more, as my clinical lectures were generally delivered with little or no premeditation, while, all I published myself, had cost me great labour, many a headache, and much midnight oil. It was through the general practitioners, in the large majority of instances—and through general practitioners, for the most part, with whom I had not the honour of any ac quaintance—that the publication of these lectures accom plished my success. To the body of general practitioners, therefore, I owe a debt of gratitude. They have called me forth spontaneously, from no interested motive, and I cannot exert myself too much in the education of their successors." —Physic and Physicians. GETTING UP A NEWSPAPER.—SO many articles have been written upon the peculiar woes and troubles, cares and anxieties of newspaper editors, that the subject has become somewhat stale. For that reason we have always, as much as possible, avoided any allusion to the topics upon which so many Jeremiads have been written. This week we are tempted to administer a little reproof to some people, who expect that every article, in every paper, should suit every body. What would a shoemaker, for instance, say to a cus tomer, who should find fault, because every pair of boots in the store would not fit his foot, and, thereupon undertake to tell him, that he was no workinan but a botch ? Or, if he even were more reasonable than this, and merely denounced all boots that did not fit him as good for nothing and useless to every body, would he not write him down an ass ? Yet, such is, precisely, the conduct of those who measure a news paper by their own standard of taste, and expect it uniformly to conform to that. Now, be it known to such sapient judges, that the endeavour of an experienced caterer for a newspaper is to avoid pleasing them every week. If a shoe maker turned out all his work upon one last, he would find his patrons in a minority of the boot-wearing public. The best evidence of editorial skill is to present such a varied melange from week to week, as shall offer to all tastes, not too hypercritical, a chance to find something for their pecu liar gratification. Other critics expect uniform correctness and infallibility in a newspaper. They would have it, that editors should be perfect in knowledge upon all subjects, in capable of error, and above the failings to which poor human nature is liable. They expect comments upon all that is pas sing in the world, and that rumours be published while they are new; and there must, notwithstanding, be no mistake in any statement. There must be no omission of any circum stance; no delay to procure attested accounts—and yet the story must be such as to leave no errors to be corrected. A very little reflection would show such critics, that they are expecting a little more than they would like to be compelled themselves to have to accomplish. Having had some years experience in conducting a newspaper, we have arrived at , some philosophical conclusions, that enable us to keep the even tenor of our way, without any feelings of annoyance from impudent anonymous letters, impudent advice, impu- ' dent comments, suits at law for libels, or any of the other , disagreeables to which the profession is subjected. We en deavour to tell the truth in all matters of fact ; to do justice to all individuals and communities ; where it is necessary, to expose vice, without fear or favour; to defend the right in all that pertains to our province. That we effect all this is • not pretended —as no claims are made to perfection. One 1 word more and we are done. As among so many subscri bers and purchasers, it is but reasonable to expect that every week's paper will not please every body, so if you do not like this week's, wait for the next. —Preston Chronicle, It is said that the King of the Belgians and his Queen are expected in England, and that Claremont will be their resi dence during their stay in this country. If what we are told as to the real object of this visit be correct, we are exceedingly glad to hear of it ; as we, indeed, in common with a vast many of our fellow subjects are, to see public manifestations of a most desirable and advantageous change in manner— and we trust in feeling—between two of the highest person ages in the realm.—John Bull. • • - - UNION AND SEPARATION. A few days ago a happy couple, members of two highly respectable families in the neighbourhood, were joined in Wedlock at the Old Church, Wandsworth, and the bride and bridegroom having fixed on Southampton as the place for spending the "honeymoon," carriages were in attendance to convey them and their friends to the nearst station on the Southampton line of railway, 'as soon as the ceremony was concluded. On the arrival of the train at the station, the bride was placed in one of the first rate carriages, and the luggage deposited in a proper place of security, but while the bridegroom (M. D.) was taking leave of a number of friends who had accompanied him to the spot, the conductor gave the word " all right, go on," the engineer turned on the steam and it (the train) shot off at so rapid a rate as to be out ,of sight in an instant. The feelings of the gentleman on being deprived of the society of his lovely bride so soon, and under such circumstances, may be more easily conceived than described ; and what was to be done upon the emergency seemed naturally , to perplex him much ; but he at length determined on " posting" it to Southampton, and that no time might be lost, four horses were at once put to one of the carriages, and he having taken his seat in it, the vehicle was taken off at a pace little short of railroad speed. ,htpput 3ntrlltgtiue.

The market remains steady, the trade and especially exporters buying rather freely, at previous quotations. The sales on Tuesday were 3500 bales, including 1200 good American for export; on Wednesday the sales were 7000 bales, of which about 9000 were taken for export; and to-day 5000 bales have been sold, consisting of 450 Pernam at 9d to gid, 100 Bahia at 90 to 90, 200 Maran ham 80 to gad, 200 Egyptian llid to 14d, 800 Surat at 4d to 6d, and also 400 American for exportation. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, AUGUST 20. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) Since this day week the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, Coastways and from Foreign ports have again been very small, almost exceeded by the exports, besides our own, and the interior consumption, so that our stocks of free Grain are daily diminishing, and will be in very small compass to meet the new crops; respecting the weather, we may repeat the remarks in our circular of Tuesday last, on the night of which day we had very heavy rain, and it has been a drizzling rain for part of almost every day since, with a deficiency of sunshine and summer heat, so that the crops have progressed very slowly towards maturity, and are still very green ; some heavy thunder showers have fallen partially throughout this district, by which many fields of the finest heavy Grain are reported to be laid or lodged, so as to expose them to the danger of ripening irregularly, or of sprouting, unless an imme diate and steadily favourable change occurs in the weather, which hitherto has been so unfavorable, and further than postponing harvest, (an evil of no small magnitude !) is believed to have been productive of little or no very serious or irretrievable injury to the crops generally, although some damage may have occurred par tially; it has just been such as to induce the importers and holders of_Grain to look confidently for higher prices, while it has not yet been sufficient to excite alarm with the millers and dealers, who have purchased cautiously and timidly for their immediate wants, and sales have been very limited here, and in all the markets of this county and Yorkshire during the past week at about the prices last quoted. An unfavourable change appears to have occurred in the weather in the southern districts last week, which, as their crops are in a more forward state than with us, must be injurious ; and reports state that they have had too much rain to the northward of us— partially throughout Scotland, and all over Ireland; and from the weather that has prevailed throughout this whole season, we ac quiesce in the opinions received from many friends, in whose judg ment we rely, that the crops, particularly of Wheat, will in no in stance exceed, and in general will prove deficient of a moderate average, both in quantity and, quality, to an extent not yet ascer tainable, depending, of course, still on the weather for the next five or six weeks. The only alteration in the duties on Grain from foreign ports this week is a reduction of Is 6d per quarter on Rye, which will pro bably be reduced further to the lowest duty of is per quarter in another week or two, and it is almost certain that the duty on Wheat will be reduced to 10s 8d per quarter next Friday; some parcels of Odessa Wheat, in bond, have changed hands at 78 8d to 7s 9d, and fine Danzig white at 9s 6d to 9s sod per 70tb, and some trivial sales have been made of Oats, in bond, at 3s 3d to 3s 6d per 451 E • and of Flour, at 36s to 36s 6d per barrel, for export. The demand fluctuates daily in a most capricious manner with every change of weather; on Sunday it was wet all day, yesterday very fine here until late in the evening, while it rained heavily all day at Lancaster, Preston and Manchester; this day it is again very fine, and has counteracted the reported advances in Mark-lane yes terday, so that at this days market sales were effected only to a very limited extent for most articles in the trade, and we can note no decided advance in prices from those of this day week; and which were, however, fully supported, and in some instances a little exceeded.

The supply of Cattle at market to-day, with regard to number and quality, has been much the same as that of last week; but Sheep and Lambs have been rather less, especially the latter. The market was tolerably well attended both by country buyers as well as butchers, and the greater part of the good stock was sold, but we cannot note any alteration in prices, except on a few Cattle of a very ordinary description, which were a shade lower, from wur last quotations. The best Beef realised from 6d to 64d, second quality sgcl, ordinary sd, but a very few at the latter price. Good Wether Mutton may be quoted at f4d, second quality 6d, ordinary and Ewes Sid. Lambs, which are now getting scarce, were sold at from did to 7d per lb sinking the offal. The market, upon the whole, may be considered a middling brisk one ; the few stock left unsold were of an ordinary description.—Number of Cattle at market:— Beasts, 1380; Sheep and Lambs, 8694.
