Henry Carmichael's Pamphlet on New South Wales, *herein he observes—" There are at present in Sydney three Joint Steck Banking Companies in operation, with a paid-up capital of ablut 80,0001. each ; which divide a profit annually of from 20 to 25 per cent. His Excellency Sir James Stirling also, in his recent work on Western Australia, says, in allusion to the Western Bank of Australia, " The second half-year left a Clear profit over the expenditure of 14 and a half per cent., Which, after setting aside one-fifth as an accamulatiag fund, according to an existing rule, enabled the Directors to declare a dividend of 11 and a half per cent. on the paid-up capital ;at the close of the year no dishonoured bill remaining en hand, nor had the Solicitor of the Bank to commence a single suit for the recovery of a debt due to it." The Directors have for some time been mak'ng arraueements for immediately carrying into effect the objects of the Corn tally ; and in order to advance the influence of the Bank in the olonies, they have reserved a portion of the shares for distri bution there. As the principal part •f the business must ner:essarily be car ried on in the Colonies, it has been thought inexpedient to have a numerous Board of Directors in London : it has there fore been determined that the number shall not at any time exceed ten; but to secure the prudent administration •f the affairs of the Bank, a complete system •f superintendence is now being organized by the Directors for the Establishments in the Colonies. A sufficient capital has already been subscribedto enable the Directors to commence bniiness immediately. They have therefore resolved, in order to avoid the inconvenience which has been found to arise in other undertakings from an unre stricted application of shares, and to induce only those to apply who wish to become bona fide proprietors, not to entertain any application unless made in the printed forms provided by them for that purpose, and accompanied by a payment of 21. upon each share applied for, the Directors reserving to themselves, at the time of appropriation, the right to reject or comply with such application, either in whole or in part, the money to b• returned if the application be rejected, and to be placed to the credit of the party in respect of the shares allotted to him if accepted. For the guidance if these who may wish to become proprie tors it may be mentioned, that it is not in contemplation to eall up more than 101. per share for the next twelve months. The Directors have postponed filling up the London Board to the full number of ten, in order to give them the opportunity of selecting influential proprietors, whose assistance and co sPeration they may think it advisable to secure for the interests of the concern ; power is reserved to them for that purpose, and they are a l so aut h or i ze d to comp l e t e a ll o th er arrange ments n ecessary for putting the Company into immediate operation.

The above Dr. Ure's statements are further confirmed by Sir I). BREWSTER and Pliny, as also by Parks and Hern en Chemistry. The destructive effects of such a material for Spectacles, to imperfect vision, may be ascertained at any respectable Optician's in London. The Messrs Solomons' newly-invented spectacle Lenses are not constructed of such a material; lAA which are very superior, and bring back at once dimness of sight and imperfect vision to its Original and natural state; these Spectacles, and very small Voice Uonstuctors for Deaf persons, are only to be had at their Establish.

Since the mails from India have been transmitted through France, the steamer from Suez no longer waits as formerly for passen gers after the mails are d e li vere d on b oar d, but proceeds to rca immediately; and as it now takes less than three days to convey them from Alexandria to Suez, passen gers proceeding by the British packet would not preach the latter place in time to embark with the mails of that month. In consequence of this new arrangement, those passengers desirous of passing through France have gene rally embarked at Marseilles in the French steamer of the Ist of the month, in the expectation of their arriving at Alexandria on the 14th or 15th, thus having four or five days' start of the mails, which generally arrive there on the 19th, but the passengers who left Marseilles by the French steamer on the Ist of this month will meet disappoint ment, as they did not 'ake their departure hence for Svra until the night of the 19th, instead of the morning of the 10th, so that it will not be possible for the steamer to reach that place before the departure of the branch one for Alexandria, and thus will consequently be detained a month. This has happened once before during the present winter ; such occurrences, which are unavoidable, are in no way to be attributed to bad management, for it is remarkable with what punctuality (with rare excep tions) the French packet service is conducted, and attended by vast benefits to all classes. But the chief object of these re marks is to recommend persons proceeding to India through France, to embark during the winter, on the 21st, instead of the Ist of the following month. THE NEW POLICE ACT. SUPPRESSION OF SPORTS. From time immemorial it has been the custom in most of the parishes and places in the western portions of the counties of Middlesex and Surrey for the inhabitants on Shrove Tuesday in every year to devote the greater part of the day to foot-ball, which has not been confined to the open spaces of the respective towns and villages, but the ball has been pursued by hundreds through the most public thoroughfares, the shops and hou ses of w hi c h were customarily closed, and the windows barricaded with hurdles to prevent their being broken. Tuesday last, being Shrove Tuesday, the sport was as usual pursued in the town of Kingston, the inha bitants of which sent a request to the Commissioners of Police that they would not interfere. At Twicken ham the local magistracy prevented its taking place in the town, but it was carried on in a meadow belonging to Mr. Cole, the brewer of that parish, under the superintendence of a man named Kirby, who has been "master of the sports" for the last fifty years. At Richmond, however, the practice having been attended with accidents and much disturbance, the place appearing during the day as one under a siege, a strong opposition was this year got up by the prin cipal inhabitants, who determined to avail themselves of the extension of the police and the provisions of the New Police Act for its suppression. A memo rial, signed by a large number of the inhabitants, was accordingly forwarded to the Commissioners of Po lice, who, in consequence, on Monday last, caused a notice to be issued, cautioning all persons from pur suing the sport. A large body of police were in at tendance, and an attempt having been made to commence the games, some of the mob were captured, and, being taken before the local magistracy on Wednes day, were fined. Some disturbance occurred, and the police were assaulted, but not seriously. DUTCH. AND FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Mmicit s.—Her Majesty the Queen of the French, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Or leans and Nemours and their suite, left Brussels this morning about half-past nine to return to Paris, where they are expected on Friday morning. These august personages had delayed their departure on account of the illness of the young Prince and of a slight indisposition of her Majesty the Queen of the Belgians, who is hap pily recovered. Prince Philip continues to get better. The Minister of Finance informs the persons inte rested that the Dutch Government has revoked the in struction, in conformity with which the Director of the Great Book has suspended provisionally, since the end of the year 1830, the payment of the interest of the ca pital and the active national debt, inserted in the names of Belgian subjects in public institutions situated in the southern provinces of the former Kingdom of the Nether lands, and that in consequence all the interest, the pay ment of which has been suspended in consequence of that measure, and of the entries periodically published on that subject, by the Director of the Great Book at Amsterdam, will be paid on demand at the office of the Director, as far as due, up to this time. The average price of Wheat last week having been 22f. 22c., and of Rye 13f. 55c. , Wheat is still exempt from import duty—Rye pays 21f. 50c. per 1,000 kilo grammes ; and the exportation of both, as well as pota toes and flour, is prohibited. Mrs. Fry spent the greater part of the day before yesterday in visiting the prison of Vilvoorde. She seemed to be entirely satisfied with what she saw. BRUSSELS, MARCH 6.—The Chamber continues the debate on the project of law for the prevention of duel ling. VIENNA, FEB. ',N.—His Majesty the Emperor has conferred the Grand Cross of the Royal Hungarian Order of St. Stephen on Don Pedro de Oranjo-Lin a, Regent of the Empire of Brazil. Count Fiquelmont will return to St. Petersburg in about three weeks. Count John Ncpomuel Esterhazy, Imperial Chamber lain, Privy Councillor, and Knight Commander of the Order of St. Stephen, died here on the 23d of this month. ALEXANDRIA, FEB. 6, 10 P.M.—I have just heard that the Pacha intends to send the Turkish fleet back to Constantinople in a few days. As nobody now speaks to him about the fleet, the measure must proceed wholly from himself. He must make this concession of his own free will. I cannot answer for the accuracy of this intelligence. The source from which I obtained this is in general one of the best ; but how can it be reconciled with the clothing of the crews of the Turk ish men-of-war in Egyptian uniforms ? AMSTERDAM, MARCH s.—The King and the Royal family are accustomed to visit this capital every year. His Majesty and the members of his august house are now among us. The King arrived yesterday afternoon at half-past four o'clock. The streets through which the King passed were decorated with flags, and crowded with spectators, who welcomed his Majesty with the most unequivocal tokens of love and veneration. The Prince and Princess of Orange, and the other members of the Royal family arrived today. We learn from good authority that his Majesty, always anxious to pro tect the welfare of his subjects, has opened negotiations with the German Commercial League for the purpose of effecting the accession of the Grand Duchy of Luxem burg to the League. We may add that there is every reason to hope that a treaty will shortly be concluded, which will be advantageous to the Grand Duchy. On occasion of the examination by the Section of the Second Chamber of the project of law for making alter ations in the fundamental law, a note was presented to M. Layben, who says, The u ndersigned sees with regret that the majority of the Section desire to retain in the revised fundamental law of the kingdom of the Ne therlands the 133 d article of the fundamental law of the United Netherlands, passed in 1814, which is as follows, " The Christian r eformed religion (Calvinism) is that of the Sovereign Prince." Tins he considers as im posing on his Majesty the King the fetters from which the meanest of his subjects is exempt ; viz. religious liberty, the dearest treasure of the Netherlands, for which it is their boast that they struggled for eighty years, and which is guarantees! to all except t o t h e reveredhead of the State. He considers this as unjust, impolitic, and intolerant. He gives his reasons (especially for the se cond) at considerable length, and declares that he shall oppose to the utmost this restriction.

" is the titl e 0, , a sma ll pamphlet, published the other day by Ridgway. The author is a Clergyman of the Church of Eng land, the Rev. George Goodenough Lynn, Minis ter of St. John's Chapel, Hampton Wick, a gent:e man honourably distinguished from the vast majo rity of his brethren by his acquaintance with the religion of Jesus Christ, and by the Catholic spirit of charity which such acquaintance never fails to en gender. The reader will not, therefore, expect to find in Mr. Lynn's pamphlet any of that sectar'an bitter ness of feeling towards those who are without the sacred pale, of which so few Churchmen can direst themselves. Still less will he expect to meet With those gross misrepresentations and that disgusting ribaldry, '. inch form the staple of almost all cleri cal hicnbratiorn on Dissenting subjects. Mr. Lynn's view in discussing the question •. What Dissent ?'' is to show the unreasonableness a•id wickedness of that exclusion from the benefil•. national education which the English almost to a man, are striving to accomnii,h, present production may be considered ac supi.it inenta,y to the excellent and well-timed little um phlet which he published not long ago. etritled, Are the People to he Educated or Nut ?" On the authority of Mr. Conder, a writer on Dissenting Si,atistics, Mr. Lynn gives the following statement of the numbers of the Dissenters in England and Wales : Congregations. Attendants Congregationalists (cr Independents) 1,840 Baptists Orthodox Presb)terians 60 Wesleyan Methodists of all Classes 3,500 1,400,000 Calvinistic Methodists Welsh, ditto . 615 1 7,489 3.000,000 Whether this, as far as it goes, be a correct esti mate or not, we have not the means of knowing, but if it be, a considerable addition must be made for the sects omitted in it. The English Presby terians or Unitarians, we apprehend, consideral:ily outnumber the so-called orthodox body of the same name, and there is a multitude of other sects or subdivisions of sects, which must swell the total amount of Dissent much beyond what is stated above. Be that however as it may, here are 7,489 dissenting Congregations attended by 3,000,000 of persons. Now, if we allow that these 3,000,000 of attendants on public worship represent a popula— tion of from five to six millions, we shall probably not be far from the mark. Mr. Lynn then perti nently asks— Do these vast numbers of men, either collectively or in dividually, rend in pieces " the seamless garment of Christ," cr not ? Are they not all building on the same foundation, "Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone?" They profess to condemn the system of our Church government, not Churchmen. l'ey entertain se condary differences of opinion upon some doctrinal points, which the youthful mind, however, is unequal to scan—but they " hold the head." They agree with us, " not almost, but altogether," in essentials. They object to the national - religious Establishment, it is true—but their prayer is, " that all Christians who agree in the fundamental princi ples of the Gospel may be brought to understand, advocate, - and practise universal communion." We may surely re spond to the spirit of this prayer, without having the warmth of our attachment to the Church called in question. If none but imaginary causes of complaint against the Church as a National Establishment had any being, a just accusation might be raised against the malcontent that they were unreasonably factious. But when the glance of an historical eye reveals to us the condition of the Reformed Church, from its first establishment to the present hour, candour obliges us to admit that she has never b. en " with out spot or blemish." The mode in which her revenues have been collected— the non-residence of the clergy—pluralities to a very great extent—the wish that the people should have a voice in the election of their pastor—the diverse avowed opininns of some of her appointed ministers upon the most important subjects—the unworthiness of others—the admission of men into the priesthood for the sole purpose of enjoy•ng the emoluments of patrimonial preferment, although heir tastes, inclinations, and habits would have given ; he pre ference to some secular profession—the prayer of ion in the " Order for the Visitation of the Sick". --,he pointed services for the commemoration of certain political events—the levying a tax for the maintenance of our churches upon Nonconformists—the excessive deficiency of church accommodation in populous parishe.•—have all been adduced, at various times, as pleas to justify a withdrawal from her communion. And since these complaints are neither unfounded, nor altogether unreasonable—since infallibility is not claimed as an attribute of the Established Church—less severity in our strictures upon the conduct of those who have taken umbrage at what we ourselves deplore as errors and urnis sions, would be more just and becoming. Let us rather extend the hand of brotherhood to all who agree with us in essentials, and unite with them in every godly work. And were we to " seek, not points of difference, hut points of agreement, how much of the strife and bitterness that deform God's earth would disappear." Of the claims of the Dissenters, in a doctrinal point of view, to be admitted to a participation with the members of the Church in educational privi leges, we find the following observations, which will make the bigots stare : That the Protestant Dissenters here mentioned agree with us in essentials, cannot be called in question. The greater part make use of the Liturgy of our Church, with some slight modifications. In this are embodied all the unciamental and saving articles of our faith. " The extent to which an accordance of religious belief exists between the Episcopal and the Dissenting Churches, may be in ferred from the books of devotion and other religious works which they use in common. A large portion of the versions. of the Psalms and the Hymns that are now sung in our Churches and Chapels are the composition of orthodox Dissenters. Expositions of the Holy Scriptures by learned Dissenting divines circulate to a great extent among the Established Clergy—for instance, Henry's Commentary, Doddridgc's Expositor, Pool's Synopsis and Annotations. The writings of several eminent Nonconformists (such as Howe, Baxter, Owen, Charnock, R'at's, &c.) rank among the received standards of our common theology. That the Nonconformists have not declined, as a body, from the doc trinal standards of other days, is sufficiently evinced by the fact that their standard of theology, their catechisms, and other religious manuals in popular use, remain the same ; —the same Psalms and Hymns are still used in their public worship. Nor have any of a different doctrinal character been introduced. Labouring under the conviction that the general cha racter of these three millions of Christians will be found, upon impartial investigation, to bear the impress of the Gospel—we may seriously ask, are we true to the sacred cause of education, if we impede, by any wilful or intole rant act, their cordial cc-operation with us io training souls for eternity ? We dare not say that God will repudiate all these men. How can we, then, reftße to receive those as brethren with whom the Father of Spirits holds commn,. nion ? How dare we malign that heart which is th«• t..mple of the living God ? Mr. Lynn then proceeds to the question of the Baptists, who repudiate the practice of infant bap tism, and adduces weighty authority in their fa vour or in their excuse : I may be accused, however, of latitudinarianism if condemn not the Baptist. The Baptsts differ in general from the Congta gati oo ,, lists upon the point of Infant Baptism akin,. But. h ow _ ever deeply we may d. plore their epi..ions respecting " this charitable work of our's in brin a iog inft.nia Christ's holy baptism," and sealing there wi:h -,aif of " a death unto sin, and a new birth unto righteousaesh"..._ it can hardly be proved that they render them c:angt rotas allies in the work of education. Differences of opinion upon this subject have existed in all ages of the Church. Baxter says, " I found in all antiquity, that though Infant Baptism was held lawtul by the Church, yet some, with Tertullian and Gregory Nazianzen, thought it most conve nient to make no haste ; and the rest left the time of bap.. tism to every one's liberty, and forced none to be baptised ; in. somuch as not only Constantine, Theodosius, and such others as were converted at years of discretion. but Augustine, and many such as were the children of Christian parents (one or both), did defer their baptism much longer than I think they should have done. So that, in the primitive Church, some were baptized in infancy, and some in riper age, and some a little before their death ; and none were forced, but all left free ; and the only penalty of their delay was, that so long they were without the privileges of the Church, and were numbered but with the catechumens and expectants." Dr. Jeremy Taylor also says, in reference to Infant Baptism, " I think there is so much to be pretended against that which I believe to be the truth, that there is much more truth than evidence on our side; and therefore we may be confident as for our own particulars, but not too forward peremptorily to prescribe it to others, much less to damn, or to kill, or to persecute them that only in this pat titular disagree."

Air. trooper is at h ome on the waste of waters, and in the Indian forests; and so long as he keeps these charmed scenes he cannot fail to delight the world. We have very little hesitation in pronouncing this work to be the most beautiful and natural—the simplest and the truest, and owing the least to mere art—of all Mr. Cooper's novels ; or if there be any misgivings in the comparison, the freshness of the impressions left from the recent perusal of the " Pathfinder," may readily be excused for obliterating them. Perhaps " The Last dale Mohicans" is entitled to the first place ; but whether or not, "The Pathfinder" is a work of such high merit, that it will nut do discredit to our best eulogy. - The story is brief and dear—tile characters are all in the humblest sphere, and derive their influence over the imagination solely from the moral power stamped upon them by the author ; and the scenes through which they move are amongst the grandest of the new world.—Atlas.
