The latter, it is understood, recognise the bonds at th,eir full value, but arc not disposed to pay more than one per cent, upon the arrears of interest to be funded. Mr. Caldcleug-h's plan is that the arrears to be fund edi shall bear interest at the rate of 3 per cent. But, as. before said, the Committee arc disposed to keep th, iso and other facts to themselves to all appearance. There must be some error in the matter doubtless, for it is not at all likely that such honourable persons would ft ink of themselves first and postpone the interests of thtitr con stituents to a day not to be found in the Calendar..

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold ► . he relation of a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYAIA The PARENT, who beholds his beloved chili 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 consumpti on , 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 ante schools, whereby the health and ultiwately 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, whoa delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the rea! cause of such attack may be, and thus he will be enabled to check the evil in its incipient state.

TIMES.—Some notice has been attracted in the Stock Exchange to the recent operations of the Bank broker, who is understood to be making sales of Exche quer Bills, and purchasing Consols with the proceeds, or possibly to a greater extent than the sum produced by the Exchequer Bills. To this operation is ascribed by the leading jobbers the advance and firm tone of the Consol Market within the last few days; but the really important question arisinc , from it is whether, under the ci rcums t ances i n w hi c h the Bank is placed at present, it is a legitimate banking operation. Having intimated by the late notice, and the actual refusal of accommodation in many instances, that restrictive measures are considered necessary by the Directors, all their other acts ought to be to the same tenour, and either act restrictively, or assist in placing the Bank in a more commanding position, in the event of a continuance and increase of the pressure. To ob viate all doubt that such an operation has really been entered into by the Bank, it is mentioned that the Bank broker in many instances effected an exchange with the jobbers of one security for the other, con senting to a higher price by a -I per cent. for the Con sols, in order that the Exchequer Bills, then at an equal discount, might be taken at par, which would never have occurred had it been a transaction for third parties, and not for tha account of the Bank abso lutely. The Exchequer Bills which they are thus anxious to convert into stock are believed to be a portion of that sum of 800,0001. which they were per mitted to take of the Government at ss. premium only, when Bills bore a premium of 20s. in the market. There is much difference of opinion as to the preference to be given to one security or the other as a banking asset ; and it is certain that Exchequer Bills, since the tampering with them by Lord Monteagle, have not re gained their former character in that respect. Of late, too, that market has been weakened by sales for ac count of the East India Compan y, an d b y t h e genera l disposition of the public to part from them as an invest ment from the time when the first alarm of war pre vailed, in which they never participated, and were de sirous of changing them for stock at the low prices. This operation of the Bank may be said to have com pleted the discredit of Exchequer Bills as a banking asset. But it is well remarked on this occasion, that what is a good asset for a private banker may be a very im proper one for a bank of issue like the Bank of Eng land. In purchasing Consols, if they think fit to do so, they may go on to any extent they please by merely issuing notes ; but when that stock is to be realized, which would generally be required nnder some adverse circumstances of a political or financial nature, the fund sales of the Bank would affect the property of every other man who held the same security, and that to a very serious extent. There is a strong feeling, therefore, against the adoption of any such security by the Bank. It is remarked further, that the demand among com mercial men for accommodation at this time being very considerable, the Bank should have been content, after selling the Exchequer Bills, to employ the money in discounts, and it certainly seems very absurd to buy stock which does not yield three-and-a-half per cent., instead of discounting the best bills, for which five per cent. may be readily obtained. For it is not the quality of the bills that has led to the late limitation of time, but a desire to contract the circulation. But if the money is to be employed, which is the case in the operation described, it might as well have been placed at the disposition of the trading interest as in Consols. Thus the operation is clearly made out to be too littie or too much, and it has spread dissatisfaction on all sides. CHRONICLE.--Fro m the rumours afloat as to the future measures of th e B an k i n regar d to the cir culation, the weekly meeting of the Directors to-day was looked to in some quarters with interest. This feeling, however, was known to be premature, and as a favourable change in the French Ministry would lessen the demand for specie on the Continent, by giving a?su rances of peace, it is to be hoped that any further ac tion on the currency of a stringent character may be avoided ; but the fall in the price of Exchequer Bills has not been owing altogether to sales on the part of the public to invest in stock. The Bank have been sellers in the Exchequer Bill Market. They have also, it is true, in a few i nstances, lately been buyers of stock, thus undoing with t h e one hand what they have been effecting with the other ; but their sales of the first tar outstrip their purchases of the other. In no other way, at least, can W e find consistency in their conduct. Money continues scarce out of doors. The discount brokers have been takers freely today at five per cent., and find themselves pressed to supply the demand. Communications have been received by the com mittee of Spanish Americ a n Bondholders from Vene zuela, expressing surprise that an arrangement had not been concluded with the bondholders, as they had given their agent in London discretionary powers. A pro posal from Senor Fortiqu e for a final settlement is tbcreforQ expected. The revenues of Venezuela have increased within the last year to the extent of from $400,000 to $500,000. It was also stated to the com mittee that the money for paying the promised Chilian dividend had been received in London, and that an ad • v ertisement of payment might be speedily expected. in Paris HERALD.—The improvement in prices at Paris, w m a e y r De merara t he t l the °thesr t a h s , and the prospect of a peace administration there natu rally reacts upon this market. B u t it may be observed and from Trinidad to the that as in the fall, so in the reaciftsaioislnc,aorrtcherelisfeunds here anticipated more particular facts commu nicated by no means so suscept f i r b o le m o D ne e Y above one the those o corresponding Paris, f or movementt h e 1 per c h e e n r t e . qfuoerm,sern fourth. This results naturally from the fact that the crisis touches France more nearly than this country. By the Pandora packet dates have been received a i; good deal from Jamaica to the 18tb , have been antici from Barbadoes to the ad, 9th of September. The nicated by this arrival by the report foNceertain proceedings at second edition of the Herald this morning, Through Jamaica a dvises have been received from Venezuela and Bogota. of disapprobation of policy is ex pressed. This, and other matt f ers, will be more clearly made manifest by the Sen F o r r om Fo th r t e i a meeting of the committee 0..1. Fowles, and South Ame rican bondholders to-claY. 1 ft.l . it is said, for these people are extreme), incommunicative, and the Chairman apparently not the least among them, stated that communications bad been received from Caraccas, mentioning that the Government were annoyed by the assertion of Senor Fortique that the offer he had made to the bondholders was the ultimatum of his Government. On t h e contrary, it is o b served, that his plc' powers were mere am t o dal with th e matter, and that, in fact, the Govern ment . be 7 whi c h h e was deputed conceived the terms propos ed h by him much too screw ing, and such as the b o n dholder s were ju s tifi e d i n re jecting. From this it may be in ferred that Senor For tique not only ende avoured to driv e a harder barg-aie than was expected, b u t was probably induced to the course by the f rom Commissionersor Bogota and Quito, powers, f a i r terms t o who had no such propose, as himself. As the Committee , sit wi th clos e d d oors, the bondholders, of course, wno thinmost deepl y i nterested, will be the last to know anyg auth oritat i vely about the real merits of the case ;th at is, till t h e Committee have had full swing t o make the best of their informa tion. It does not appear that from B ogota and Quito any novelty has transp ired. In the course of the sitting, however, it transpired that Senor Rosales, the Cbilian Envoy, was in town, and that he was in possession of funds to pay, an d was prepared to pay, half a years dividend on the Chile loan. It is singular that the fact has not before transpired, as it has been well known for some time that the Chile Government had remitted funds here on various occa sions. The Committee no doubt, clin rxpl tin the !starter satisfactorily, for it can have no eottueetton with buying i at) Chile crock at a lo w fi g ure, a s some ill-natur e d peo ple are pleased to insinuate. The adVioos from. Santiago SUN.—There was a vague apprehension all y that further notice would be posted at the Bank of :England for raising the rate of discounts on commercial paper, but it is satisfactory to state that there is no grounds for any such apprehension. The mercantile cla as es are pinched enough already, and, generaliy speaking, trade has seldom been in a more wretched plight. The ru mour about the Bank, and the non-receipt of t b e lifo niteur, with the names of the new Ministry, m ade the funds heavy all day. Consols did not range higher than 874 to f 371 for immediate transfer, and 874 to 87-, 7 3 - for the e.ccount, closing for the former at 874, and the latter at .37i sel lers. Exchequer Bills brought 2s. to .ss. discou at only, and India Bonds fell to I6s. discount. Bank Stock receded to 1604 to 160, the New Three-and-a-Half per Conts. were not higher than 97 to 964, and the, Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities rallied to 864 t o 864. Money was scarcer to-day. The Foreign Stocks only led to a moderate lat isincss to-day, but they generally supported yesterday's value. Spanish Active Bonds brought 20? to 2 ; Portuguese New Five per Cents., 32i; the Three per Cents. 219 ; Mexican Consolidated 27 to 26.1 ; Colombian Six per Cents. 21 for the old bonds, and 224 to 23 for those of 1524; Danish Stock was at 75 ; French Five per Cents. remained all day at 106 f. 50c.; Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. were not quite so good, being at 504, but the Five per Cents. improved to 954 to 954. The Railway Shares were all a shade lower. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS •F THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Some of the statements of our Contemporaries re specting the comparative state of the British and French navies are so injurious in their effects, and so incorrect, that we feel it our duty to call our readers' attention to the subject, and to express our hope and conviction that the public will discountenance the sys tematic attempts to lower the British nation in the eyes of Europe, by persons whose sole object in doing so ap pears to be to create a prejudice against political oppo nents. In the United Service Gazette of the 17th of this month we find, after the usual allowance of abuse of the authorities at the Admiralty, the following remarks : " We cannot better accomplish this object than by placing before our readers a comparative view of the effective and non-effective naval strength of France and England at the present moment. The following list of the ships of the line of the British navy afloat in or dinary, in dock, and building, has been compiled with the greatest care from personal inquires at the respec tive ports and official sources, and is, we believe, per fectly correct." Here follows a list headed" Nam esjoree, and tonnage of the ships of the line afloat, in ordinary, in dock, and building at this date ;" from which our Contemporary proceeds to deduce certain " general results," which our readers will :Agree with us it is not worth our while to quote, when we inform them that from this table of the " Names, force, &c. of the British Navy," all ships of the line at present in commission, amounting to thirty in number, most of them now in the Mediterranean, or ac tively employed elseWhcre, have been entirely omitted. We shall, therefore, be pardoned for not taking the trouble of scrutinizing the conclusions which our Con temporary has drawn from the false data with which he has flu niched himself. We now come to the table of the French navy, and here we find that every ship the French possess, whether out of commission or in commis sion, is carefully reckoned up ; and last Saturday our Contemporary, remarking upon some: statements of an other newspaper (a:French one, by the bye) invites " John Bull" to " tremble," because there arc twenty French sail in the M e dit erranean . W e were ourse l ves sur prised at the sudden increase from fifteen to twenty, which, according to this, had been made in the num bers of the French fleet, but we think we can explain the circumstance in the following manner. There are in reality fifteen French sail of the line in the Mediter ranean. Of these, five were lately ordered to the west ward, and they have accordingly returned to Toulon. Tnese ships are counted as a fresh squadron, and as a reinforcement to the fleet which they have just left; and the authorities upon which our Contemporary relies, having added five to fifteen, instead of deducting five from fifteen, a very gratifying " general result" is ob tained in favour of the French, and against the English navy. We have not space to notice at present the in numerable instances of misrepresentations of the same sort which are to be found in the columns of the Times. Never, we believe, was public feeling more generally and unequivocally expressed, than in the case of the Earl of Cardigan. On taking his scat on Wednesday in the theatre at Brighton, he was assailed by a storm of hisses which lasted for half an hour, and on his quitting his box, three cheers were called for for Cap tain Reynolds, and responded to most lustily. Printed subscription lists have been sent to us, of which the one from Maidstone, iu our columns of this day, is a sample ; and we are assured that the names of numerous subscribers are appended to them. It is only neces sary to give the word, and subscriptions will be raised in every town of the kingdom. Some decided step must be taken soon for the guidance of the public. Since writing the above, we perceive, from an adver tisement in this day's Chronicle, that in order to afford a full opportunity to the public, who have expressed their feelings so strongly on this subject, a meeting is to be held at the British Coffeehouse, Cockspur-street, on Tuesday next (Nov. 3), at one o'clock. (From the Times.) We are desirous that the observations which we have thought it our duty to make upon the case of Captain Richard Anthony Reynolds and the Earl of Cardigan should not be misunderstood. Among the numerous letters which we have received upon the sub ject, many of which it is impossible for us to publish, some reflect severely upon the conduct of the Comman der-in-Chief, and others recommend a course to be pur sued for the exhibition of public sympathy towards Captain Reynolds which appears to us unsuitable to the circumstances and inexpedient in itself. Equal-handed justice to the more powerful, and such lenity as may be consistent with the interests of the service to the weaker, offender, we have contended for, and we contend for still. But we never enter-i tained a thought, or suffered a word to escape us, which could operate prejudicially to the discipline of the British army ; and we shall lend ourselves to no project, however well intended, which we think likely to encourage a disaffected or insubordinate spirit. It has been because we were satisfied that nothing could tend so inevitably to the destruction of discipline as the protection of a superior officer from the consequences of misconduct, while a subaltern was severely punished— especially in the relative circumstances of Lord Cardi gan and Captain Reynolds—because we were convinced that insubordination would be the necessary result of suffering such a Lieutenant-Colonel as Lord Cardigan to continue, unreproved, at the head of the llth Hussars —it has been emphatically for these reasons that we considered ourselves bound to offer the comments which we did upon the result of the late Court martial. Lord Hill has done justice to our expectation, and vindicated himself from the charge of partiality, by sternly and publicly reprimanding Lord C irdigan at the head of his regiment., and has, in language not to be mistaken, advised him to restore unanimity. to that regiment by voluntary retirement from the service. " The officers," said his Lordship, " are gentlemen. Can it he believed that they can perform their duties frankly, fairly, and cordially, as such duties o ught to be performed, under the direction of a commanding officer with whom so many of them are is a state of hostility ?" There is no misinterp retin g this. Lord Cardigan knows perfectly well whether those officers whose feelings he has outraged would be likely to continue in a state of hostility with him should he continue their commanding officer or not. We fear there can be as little doubt upon this point as upon the course which Lord Hill indicates !or his adoption, in case he should feel that this question must be answered in the affirmative. Let us hear no more, therefore, of injustice or favouritism at the Horse Guards as connected with this affair. To bring the Licutonatit-Col Ate] f Pace, Albert's 1-I:4:..sars to tt outlet-marital, and t , t exposo to the public eYe, 111111 3' c; t;oavters of tiro hrnentable 'a -1 recently filled our own columns and those of our Con. tenaporarieg; is•surely no desirable matter ; and if the necessary r*sillt can be obtained without it, we are not animated by vindictive a spirit against Lord Cardi gan as to refuse him the opportunity of relieving the regiment from his presence by a quasi voluntary act. On the other hand, the course pursued with the noble Lieutenant -Colonel appears to us to warrant the expectation, that clemency will at the proper season be extended to Captain R. A. Reynolds, if not prevented by the unwise acts of those who esteem themselves his friends. It is a mistake to look upon the case of this gentleman as if the provocation under which he acted was fully disclosed to the Court•martial. The disparaging conversation at the party in Lord Car digan's house was evidently no more than the final cir cumsta:•ice in a course of injurious or offensive conduct, the spark which set fire to a train already laid. This must always be remembered, and ought to form an es sential element in our equitable judgement of the case, though, from reasons which we do not thoroughly ap preciate, the Court refused to receive the evidence ten dered upon this point. On the other hand, when the same Court consented to receive evidence of previous conduct and character, it must be considered to have made an acknowledgment that the case was one in which such evidence, if satisfac tory, would operate in mitigation of punishment. More satisfactory testimony than that actually borne to the general conduct and character of Captain Reynolds, it would be impossible to conceive ; and we therefore take it for granted, that, when the present ex citement has passed over, and the necessary impression has been made, that evidence will have its weight. We cannot, however, conceal our fears, that the plan of public meetings, and of a public subscription in favour of Captain Reynolds, which many generous sod warm hearted men are strongly recommending, will (if adopted) prove more prejudicial to his true interest than anything else which could be devised. The Crown in not to be forced or intimidated into the exercise of its prerogative of mercy, and it would be a serious blow indeed TO military discipline if officers were taught to look for an indemnity from the consequences of insubor dination from the sympathy of the public at large. Besides this, though we consider Captain R. A. Reynolds to be a brave and honourable man, with very considerable claims upon the clemency of the Crown, we cannot see either the wisdom or the pro priety of applauding and rewarding his conduct on this occasion, as if it had been that of a hero or a martyr. ; He was to blame, seriously to blame, beyond all ques tion. The letter addressed by him to his commanding officer was one which the circumstances under which it , was written would not have justified if both parties had been civilians. We cannot shut our eyes to this fact, because we think the conduct of Lord Cardigan was, in his superior position, still more culpable. What then ? Ara we really to approve and to encourage inso lent recrimination and contemptuous disobedience to or ders in a subaltern for the sake of proving our hatred of intemperate arrogance in a commanding officer ? Others may if they please, we never will ; we will main tain an even and impartial course, demanding justice, but not trampling upon discipline. Captain R. A. Rey nolds may depend upon it, that those are his truest, or at all events his wisest, friends who protest against any thing having the semblance of popular agitation in his favour. (From the iWorning Herald.) It is idle to speculate at present on French Minis terial combinations and their results. Whether a Soult- Guizot or a Guizot-Soult Ministry be formed or not, the fate of France and the decision of the question of peace or war cannot be ascertained before the assem bling of the Chambers. The comparative calm in which French affairs appear to be at present lulled, is no proof that warlike intentions are suppressed, or that angry passions have subsided. It may b e b u t t h e sullen calm prelusive of a fiercer tempest. For our own part, we have, ever since the bursting forth of those national ebullition of jealousy and rage which the infatuated rashness of our Whig policy, touching the Eastern question, have provoked in France, looked more to the temper and spirit of the people of that country, to ascertain the probability of war or peace, than to any Ministerial combination or Court intrigue. We greatly respect M Guizot as a man and a politician, but we cannot go so far as some of our Contemporaries, who seem to look upon him as a statesman of that commanding intellect that is capable of controlling circumstances which all but the mightiest genius must fail to master ; in fact, that he is a giant in political resources, " With Atlantean shoulders, fit to bear The weight of mightiest monarchies." But M. Guizot -is a politician of much - more - moderate abilities. He is a Doctrinaire ; and no Doctrinaire, however dictatorial and pompous in the closet, has ever achieved a high reputation for success'ul genius, dis played in grappling with the difficulties of States. We have politicians of the Doctrinaire class in this country, and if the salvation of the State depended upon them, we should despair of the commonwealth. They are men whose minds arc squared to certain t'.-ieories, often more pedantic firm practicable, and fitter to furnish matter of speculation to ingenious sophists, than to engage the attention of real statesmen. If England should sleep, and dream of peace, until awakened by the thunders of war, how will she ho prepared for the con flict ? Will Melbourne, emerging, like the Sybarite Italian Emperor, fiddle in hand, from the luxurious in dulgences of the palace, be able, by his skill in his minstrelsy, to dissipate the terrors of burning Rome ? Will Palmerston save us by the ponderous artillery of his protocols ; or Macaulay, by the sparkling squibs and crackers of his rhetoric glittering through the political gloom ? Can Baring, by any cabalistic process of figures, supply us with the " sinews of war ?" Can Lord John Russell, with the sage Sydenham, prevent Lord Durham's seed of sedition in the Canadas from " fructifying" into actual rebellion ? Or can Lord Nor manby, forgetting his habits as an Irish " gaol deli verer," basilic " repeal' and " Chartism," until the danger be overpast ? Or will Mr. Sheil, in the " fine frenzy" of theatrical heroism— " Ride on the whirlwind, and direct the storm ?" THE JEOPARDY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA. (From the Spectator.) During the considerable time that has elapsed since we last paid attention to South Australia in the Spec tator, the colony has been placed in a dangerous posi tion, through the mismanagement of its civil govern- meat. The present Governor, Colonel Gawler, was sent out with instructions limiting his yearly expendi ture to 12,0001. ; with an extraordinary credit, in case of unforseen emergencies, of 5,000/. Colonel Gawler has neglected those instructions : he has launched into a variety of local " improvements," and indulged in a general profusion of the most extravagant kind : to such an extent, that, in place of 12 0001., he has been spend ing, latterly, at the rate of 200,0001. in one year. By the last accounts, he was building a government-house vying in magnificence with the government-residences of the oldest colonies. A stream of bills has consequently been poured in upon the Colonization Commissioners in London, which they had not the means of meeting. At first those bills were paid, at the expense of the fund accruing from the sales of land, which ought to be de voted to purposes of emigration ; and the Commission ers were even betrayed into infringing, or at least stretch-i ing, the terms of the Act of Parilanient. By the sup plementary South Australian Act, it is permitted to borrow from the land fund, for the use of the civil service ; but the sum so borrowed must not exceed one third of the year's receipts on account of the sale of land. The Commissioners, however, have placed the civil service in debt to the emi gration fund, by no less an amount than 90,0001. ; a sum, it is conceived, greatly exceeding the proportion allowed by law. A decessary consequence of thus mis appropriating the land-fund, was a total stoppage in that supply of labour, hitherto uninterrupted, upon which the colony depends :no emigrant-ship was sent out in September ; none this mouth ; and there is no announce ment of any for next month. And even that illegit - miae resource proved unequal to the demand upon it. In the mean time, the Commissioners endeavoured to negotiate a loan in the City ; but their invitation to the ' moneyed world was not answered by a single tender. were obliged to refuse payment of the uAntbrieonkgetnh they string of bills. The civil service being thus declared insolvent, and the emigration-fund having been involved in the same insolvency, the Commissioners adopted the only course which was left open to them, and threw the whole matter upon the Home-Govern ment ; under whose consideration it still remains. The South Australian public in London have been greatly alarmed : they have held several meetings upon the subject, and have made strong representations to the Home Government as to the necessity and justice of re li ev i n g the colony, and the large interests involv e d, from the embarrassment brought upon it b conduct of an officer of the Government, beyond their tmheigir. r ecapitulation was paper, nece whichssaryto the full under standing of the following control. Th. appearedto in w h l i a c s h t one of a se r i es .] Having Wednesdays p pointe d nt e Col on ial d out G azet t e,the dangersremoter South Australia is exposed by the apparent madness of Governor Gawler, we proceed to notice others of more pressing urgency, which indeed threaten the very exis tence It o isf the supposedcolony. that Governor Gawler's bills w ill amount, before his reckless expenditure can be stopped, to at least 200,000/ t., ; and as the Commissioners are the y, tV$ r3emand on their exchequer, of te h' ,l - will probably be returnoq (Ls- Lie inanediate consequaices are sufficiently obvious. In the first place, from the moment when a d ili" honoured Government bill shall appear in the colon r• it will be impossible to raise another shilling for pubh a expenditure of any kind or degree: Governor Gawleh, ' may draw away, but nobody whetake his psipee,, 'lt ' 1. follows that the payment of eve *erica will be stop-04, tolllol l ‘, with the surveys, an sot?l,lacr public Weak* :0r necessifi.l All government, t ra, /ta w ~,,a ii, „-,1 1 ,..;, _ --. end. ... come to an n Not only the gy i r . youip t t7lie perlow,A and o ffi cers or justice will be ulpiraft pp - e q ... 4,,, ey :‘ nor himself will be dependent on charily irk( 7 vgrx meatis of subsistence. Nor is the stoppage oT thee functions of government the only evil that must re sult from din-payment of salaries : Governor Gawler's extravagance has crested, as it were, a large body of public servants, who will be thrown out of employment without notice, and therefore out of bread. Secondly—We have said out of bread as well as em ployment, because it i 3 impossible that those wh.o will have lived - on Government pay should procure em ployment in an infant community of 15 000 souls bud deftly oppressed by a debt of of 200.0001. For let it be observed that the Governor's bills will have been passed to the settlers, who again will have parsed them into the n , ighb:)uring colonies in payment for live stock: and food ; and that when they arc returned dis honoured, each of them will reach the person who ac cepted it as maney from the Government, in the Angie of a pressing debt. Tne greater the mmaber of hands through wh;eh thes e bills shall have plssed in the colony, the more extensive will be the mischief ; since every one who may have held a bill will be called upon to pay its amount as a debtor, iind will as a md:tor press on his neighbour or the Government—but equall its vain. In such eircurn-tanu s private credit will be at an end, like credit and the functions of the Go verment. And further, while the public expenditure of 200,000/. in one year will have occasioned an ex tensive dependence on public employment, the issue of Government trills to that amount will have coiled into existence an excessive amount of curr e ncy, which must be suddenly depreciated when its foundeion is taken away. A large proportion of the Governa,eret bills will doubtless have been discounted by the kcal banks, whose notes will be hastily returned to them in demand for specie when it shall be known that the public paper is valueless. We cannot see how either of the bankS shotild avoid a suspension of cash peyineets. In that case, their notes wil, be without value, and the colon) will necessarily be drained of what sticesie it may contain ; for no other money will pay debts or buy loud in New South \Vales and Van Diemen's Land. The community, therefore, will be not oily withut govern ment and without private credit, but also without a. currency. _ Thirdly—South Australia, though now abundantly supplied with fine-woolled sheep (the number being esti mated at 150,000), does not yet raise a quarter of the bread -stuff required by its inhabitants. Agriculture was rapidly advancing by the last accounts, but the colony was still an extensive importer of flour and rice. The imports of food must cease when credit and currency fail, excepting only the small quantity that the colony may be able to purchase with specie. Famine, conse quently, among all classes, from the meanest labourer to the Governor himself, seems almost inevitable. We wish that we could be justly accused of exa g geration in saying that thousands of the coloni s t s may be starved to death. Such an extent of disorganization and calamity as we have depicted under these three divisions is not readily suggested to the mind by experience only. In order to estimate it by analogy we must exert our imaginations, and suppose a town population suddenly deprived of all government, and of all credit, and all currency at the: same time. What would happen in such a case ? It is plain that, unless there were help from without, the whole population would soon die of hunger. South Aus . ralia differs from a town only in this, as respects the present - - subject—that it produces some of the food required to support its inhabitants ; and therefore a total stopilage of credit and currency will not destroy all the people ; but as it is not in the power of this or any other com munity instantly at pleasure to increase its production of food, so surely, unless again there be help from svith out, when the colony is deprived of the means olimport ing the requisite quantity of food over what is produced there, the deficiency will be measured by hunger and positive starvation. This arises from the newness of . the infant community—we had almost said from the ra pid progress of the settlement—combined with the sud den ruin of its public and private credit, anal destruc tion of its currency by an act of its Government. The case is the same as if a quantity of land had been re claimed from the sea in this country, and inhabited by people engaged in preparing for its cultivation, drawing their food, meanwhile, from the old farms in the neigh bourhood, by means of a money capital, and then cia tirely cut off from intercourse with the district wherct food was superabundant. Such a community woukk suffer in such an event just in proportion as they had rather been nccupied in rendering the new land habit able and apt for production, than in merely putting tile seed into the naked earth. If their mode of colonising the new land had been more ruee, they would have* been less liabie to the evils of a moaetary convulsion. But let us not in darning on this case, which bas beets supposed for the sake of illustration, lose sight of the true causeof the dangers which beset South Australia. The sole author of the disaster is the reckless Governer. His extravagance alone occasions this colonial bank ruptcy. Though the crash will be great in proportion to the artificial or civilized character of the settlement— just as a state of anarchy would be more disastrous in England, where only a third of the people are ernsaged its raising food, than in France where two-thirds are rgri culturists—yet we are not to regret that the colony had credit and a currency to destroy, and a town population to starve, but that the unbridled folly of an individual should have done such enormous mischief. We must repeat once more, that it the colony is to be saved, it can only be by means of help from without. The obvious remedy is to prevent the return of Gover nor Gawler's bills. But here, again, as misfortunes never come singly, two difficulties pent thems e l ves . The first is, that the Commissioner., who wo u ld b e authorized by the South Australian Act, to cover there hills by a loan, creating a colonial debt equal to their amount, do not enjoy public confidenc e in this country ; and, in the next place, whatever were the credit, of these new Commissioners, nobody would he disposed to advance money for the purpose, or at least with the effect of enabling Governor Garchr or some other irresponsible officer to play such a prank over again. Without an efficient check on public expendi ture in the colony—without the only cheek that we Englishmen can suppose to be efficient, namely popular control by means of representation and executive res ponsibility—it will be vain to appeal to private capitalists here for the means of paying Governor Gawler's bills ; and even with the best guarantee against future improvidence on the part of the Colonial Government, it may be doubted whether money would be advanced at the call of the Commissioners who were appointed without the least regard to the wishes , of the South Australian public in this country, whose time is occupied with the affairs of many other co. lonies, and who, as Commissioners for South Australia, have done nothing since their appointment but remove their office from the Adelphi to the Bird Cage Walk— the part of London the most perhaps out of the way of all sorts of business relating to colonization—as if their object had been to tell the world that they intended t do nothing. Failing a loan to the Commissioners, there is no resource but in the Treasury and Parliament. A. pledge from the Government to a pply t o Parliament for a guarantee of any loan within sonic specific amount to be raised by the Commissioners, would procure the requisite funds without delay. South Australia has never yet appeared in the Estimates. Lord John Rus sell must, we should think, be aware of the extreme urgency of the case, and the really awful danger of de lay ; and he is not apt to shrink from a suitable respon sibility. What could become him more than the re sponsibility of saving this colony from destruction ? what less than that of leaving it to its fate ? THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD. Theadvisiarents being (FROM A COiRIsSPONDENT.) The Rev. Mr. Snowden, Curate of Charlton, Dover, has at length entertained an opinion that he should be justifiable in refusing Christian burial to all Dissenters, unless they had received Christian baptism at the hands of clergymen of the English Church. About a fort night since, the child of a shoemaker, named Pine, died, and the parents made the necessary preparatio for its interment, when the Rev. Mr. Snowden sent word to say that he should not bury the child, beau's' it had been baptized at a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel. Mr. Pine, who is a member of the Methodist Society, immediately sent to the Rev. John Geden, the• Super intendent of the Dover Circuit, who wrote to the Archbishop of Canterbury upon the subjcc`,, laying the case before him. He has subsequently written a second letter to the Right Rev. Prelate, but hitherto no *ln s wer has been received by either of them.
