Grimstone, of the lierbary, High zate for the efficacy 01 his Aromatic Regenerator, in having coin pletelT restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, itd the whole of her hair Is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair In abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact,.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of _title hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and arevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing "dour removes headache and makes it a meat necessary companion o the toilet.

She arrived at Rio on the 11th of January, and left on the 16th for England, leaving the Seagul packet and Crescent receiving ship at Rio. No vessel had recently arrived from the Parana, but the Racer, 16, Commander Reed, was daily expected when the Talbot left, and on her arrival the Curagoa, 24, Captain Broughton, was to sail for England. The Talbot has experienced very cavern weather on her passage home ; she bas been beating about since the lst inst. The first land she made was St. Alban's Head. She has brought home about 100,0001. in dollars, bars, and gold dust, on merchants' accounts, which will be landed to-morrow morning and transmitted to the Bank of England by Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel, of Portsea and Portsmouth, freight agents and silversmiths to the Queen.

She was commissioned on the 24th of Jui:e, 1842, since which tini:3 she has steamed 35,988 miles, and sailed 14,484. During tl.e above time she was two years and one month at the Georgian and Society Islands, nearly the whole time at anchor. She has gone at times under sail alone, with a good breeze, ten knots ; steaming with favour able weather and wind, she made 8 1 4, 9.t, and 10 knots, which she frequently accomplished in her passage from An tigua to Spithead. His Highness the Conde de Montemolin is expected here, to visit the various objects of interest abounding in this im portant-arsenal. The Vindictive, 50, Captain Seymour, flag of Vice-Admi ral Sir Francis Austen, K.C.8., Commander-in-Chief on the West India and North American station, was on his way from Antigua to Port Royal.

The Imaum, 72, Commodore Lambert, the Electra, 14, Commander Maitland, and the Vesuvius, stem-sloop, Commander Austen, were at Port Royal on the 23d ult. The Hermes, steam sloop, Commander Car, was, at the soma date, cruising in the Gult of Mexico. Captain Courtenay had taken the command of the Endv mion, 44, vice Lambert, who had accepted the post of second in commend, vice Pring, deceased. ‘Vootwicw, MARCH 20.—The Blenheim, 72 guns, fitted at Black wall for a block ship, with a screw propeller, was towed down the river to-day to be docked at Woolwich; but at the time of writing this communication she was partly aground on the Essex side of the river, in a place a short distance from Blackwall, known under the designation of Bugeby's Hole. The cause of the Blenheim grounding was in endeavouring to avoid a brig which ran across her bows and became entangled with her, the tide running up s,rong at the time. The brig continues across the bows of the Blenheim, but. as the tide will rise for another hour, the vessel may be got off with ease, as the Monkey, Government. steamer, and a hired steamer, are assisting to disentangle the brig, and tow the Blenheim into the middle of the river. The Mastiff, surveying vessel, Coeimander Beecher, and the Woodlark, tender to the Mastiff, are both in the basin at Woolwich Dockyard, refitting, preparatory to their proceed. ing during the ensuing season to resume their duties in sur veying the coasts of the Orknev Islands. Brevet-Major Stransham, Lieutenant Fitzgerald, Lieu tenant Taylor, three sergeants, four corporals, one drummer, and sixty privates of the Woolwich division of Royal Ma rines, have been placed under orders to embark for service in the Warspite, 50 guns, commissioned at Chatham. An equal number of the Chatham division of Marines will come to Woolwich to do duty in place of those draughted for the Warspite. Lieutenant-Colonel Coryton, Royal Marines, left Wool wich this morning for Spike Island, near Cork, to take the command of the Royal Marines serving in Ireland. The Amphion, steam-frigate, in charge of Lieutenant Sib. bald, is to have a massive piece of brasswork fitted to the stern, at the part where the axle of the screw-propeller re volves, the great velocity and friction causing that part to get very hot when the engines are at work ; a similar case of brass was cast at the foundry at Woolwich for the Blen hein, and weighed very nearly G tons.

SOLEMN APPEAL to the PEOPLE 0 , ENGLAND.—The Committee of the United Relief Associa tion feel it their duty to submit to their fellow-countrymen of every class, and of every creed, the following brief APPEAL : Her Majesty, in Council, has fixed on Wednesday, the 24th inst., as a day of fasting and humiliation before God, under the present distress affecting Ireland and portions of Scotland. That proclama tion will be favourably regarded by a large portion of the people of the united kingdom ; and gyen those who do not feel bound to obey Aser wwar 4.71,1.05,01.11 M, will feel constrained, by a sense of duty to Him "by whom kings reign," to humble themselves under the hand of God. The Committee, formed for no denominational objects, and actuated by no sectarian spirit. enter into no discussion on the question of public fasts ; but of one thing they are confident, that on such a day, and when engaged In such an exercise, the religious public will feet disposed to embrace the opportunity of giving practical exlsresshm Mb their sympathy by presenting voluntary offermgs for the support of the poor, who are now "ready to perish." This Committee would respectfully and earnestly urge on all den , minations of their ,ellow- Christians the duty o f giving according to their ability ; and If fa voured with the commission, they will faithfully execute It according to the wishes or the donors. All monies are distributed in harmony with the catholic and unsectarlan spirit which is the distinctive fea tures of this movetrold. While this Committee address this Appeal to the people through out the nation, they venture to suggest to the charitable and humane, in and around the metropolis, the propriety and practica bility of holding meetings on the evening of the 24th hist., and of presenting their donati •ns on that occasion. To such meetings ti,e Committee will be happy to send deputations if early notice be sent to this office. The general features of the d:stress need not here he dwelt on. The case is argent—the people are perishing —death is doing its work by day and by night - the starving and the dying demand Immediate re lief—the Providence of God calls " Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might."

NICHOLAS AND LOUIS PHILIPPE TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—lt may help us to understand a thing done to day if we regard a similar thing done some time ago. In the panic of 1825.6, a City millionaire, who had not been on the best of terms with some City bank. rs, called on them unexpectedly, and, after expressing his fear that they might have an inconvenient run on them, and his anxiety to serve them, begged them to accept a deposit of (it was said) 1,000,0001. in Exchequer-bills and notes. The deposit was accepted with many ex pressions of thankfulness. In the Bank parlour the cir cumstance was discussed, and it was resolved that the bills and notes should be sealed up and put in the strong room till callt•d for. When the run on the Bank came the millionaire called, as had been expected, for his de posit, and had the mortification of finding that he was baulked of his intended revenge by being paid off with his own sealed packets. Will Louis Philiippe seal up Nicholas's 2,000,000/ ? Will Nicholas call for his deposit when the run comes? Yours, &c., QUERY. March 20. THE ARM 1, &c. The 88th Regiment arrived at Barbadoes on the 20t1 February, per the Herefordshire. There were a few ' cases of m easles on board, which caused the ship to be put in quarantine. General Berkeley arrived at Bar twines on the 23d of February, and assumed the com mand. The 16th Regiment left Gibraltar on the 9th instant. There was nut a man in the slightest degree disguised in li q uor, and the enti re cor p s maintained its credit for steadiness and sollier-like conduct to the last. The Euryalus, convic t shi p , arrived at Gibraltar on the 9th of March. A line-of-battle ship passed Gibraltar from the west ward, without showing colours, on the evening of the 9th of March, and a line-of battle ship was signalled to the eastward on the morning of tithedhe 10th of March, supposed to be the Vengeance, Malta, but she had not shown colours. The wheat markets of the French departments aro still active s with an advance in quotatio ns from lf. to sf. prr hectolitre, and, notwithstanding the hop es entertained in most quarters that suni .lius fr-t - ri the north nf Europe will betore lung be available, purchases had not in the least ce creased. The great alarm prevailing caused all who could command the means to secure a supply. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. Oxford Junction, LIVERPOOL, MARCII 20.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF TzsTnitnay. TIMES.—The law of nations has not hitherto in eluded any comprehensive chapter upon bankruptcy and insolvency. Though the great community of Christen dom has most justly been considered by publicists as one large commonwealth, in the system of which nations played the parts of families or individuals in separate states, yet it was conceived that their relations would nut descend to transactions of swindling and embezzlement, and that a general congress might part without settling a small debts act, or establishing an insolvent court for states. We fear, however, that the particular attention which this particular department of law is found to re quire in our own country is now still more imperatively demanded in the code which regulates the intercourse of states and kingdoms. When monarchies conceal their property, and republics obtain money under false pre tences, it is time that some commissioner should act for Europe as Mr. Fane acts for Middlesex; and that Spain, as soon as such machinery can be brought into opera tion, will be suspended from her certificate for two years without protection is unhappily as clear as that she once filled the most respectable place in that great society which she now so terribly scandalizes. The case of Spain, which Lord G. Bentinck is to bring before the House of Commons to-morrow, is, indeed, one of those which the gentlemen we speak of ere accustomed to characterise as "the very worst in stance of misconduct and dishonesty lately brought, under their knowledge." At a time when the very exis tence of her constitutional freedom was a stake she bor rowed large sums of money to aid her in the struggle she was manfully conducting. The money was liberally advanced to her, on the security of the country, pledged by the very Government which, thus aided and strengthened, was placed in a position to perform its promises. Had King Carlos V. repudiated the engaee manta contracted by Isabella 11., some reason might be alleged for his conduct, but none for that of the claimant who succeeded in the venture for which the money was borrowed. Yet, within three years of Isabella's acces si.m, payment of the dividends ceased. The subsequent conduct of the indebted state it would be hard to match by any example from Portugal-street. Four years after the first defalcatio I!, viz in November, 1840, the Spanish Government at length yield to the i.nportunste entreaties of its helpless coeditors, and, without going to the lengtia of actually paying the intereA due on the bonds, did condescend to ca pital:ze the arrears, and consider them as chargeable with interest ther-after. This, hower-r, is all that liss been dune, for the division ..f the sock into " Active'," " llefe:red," &c., has effected nothing b. yeed the variety of nomenclature, and the prceeet, state of tae account, in round - reckoning, is this owes the bondholders 45,000,000/. of capital stock entitled " Ac tive ;" 13.000,0001. of capital Ste ck entitled " Passive ;" 7,000,0001. of the arrears of interest added to the prin cipal in 1840. and 12,000,0001 arrears of interest now clue in cash, mak near 80,000,000/. of morry. principally Bri.ish, on account of which sums she neither pays, nor has paid for these twelve years, a sixpence of iaterest he) and a miserable 3 per cent. on the lust capitalized sum of 7.009,000/. Conceive a man's figure nefore Mr. Fonb`anque, who should pl,:•ad. that though be had borroAeri 10,000/ on which he paid no inteiest, yet that he had very handsomely capitaiiz d one year's arrears, for which be was religiously paving 15/ per annum. the case is really infamous. Every single particular that comes to light concerning it a::gravates the deformity of its features. Ihe indebted party is under no disabling difficulties. Partly by the aid of these very loans, and partly by the resources of a kingdom so naturally exuberant and elastic that the grossest misgovernment cannot check them. the pros perity of Spain has increased as rapidly es under the Administration of Aiberotti. Its revenue, which, when these loans were tintr4cted, was under 6,000,0001, and when- the first arrears were cspitaFzed was under 10.000,0001., is now pabltcly stated to exceed 12,000,000/. It is a most extraordinary proof of what national as well as huthan cons' itutions will occasionally do for themselves ; but it is n'-vertheless a tact, that Spain has actually, at this moment, a surplus rt venue of near half a million, while France has a large deficit, and England may, perhaps, just bring both ends together. Nor is it denied that by the commonest use of saga city—by the mere recognition of principles which are now poli tical axioms, this surplus might be multiplied twentyfold ; insomuch that it was admitted by one of her Ministers nearly ten years ago, that "the re sources of Spain were more than sufficient to pay her debts ten times over." Indeed, though she has not applied her acquisitions to the aequ . ittal of her obligations, she has availed herself of her noto rious competence to obtain further credit, and has lately borrowed such money as she wanted on easy terms from her own subjects, which domestic liability she very punctually attends to. The creditors' case is as strong as the debtor's is weal/Nagy have not been " trouble some." They lent their money in an hopr of need, and only ask for it in a day of wealth. They do not exact the letter of their bonds, regardless of means or conse quences. They urge the capabilities of the borrower as well as the claims of the lender, :Ad ask for a small sharp in the prosperity which they contributed so largely to produos, thozo moderate representations Spain replies by the very conduct of a dishonest jobber. She amuses them by promises which she never fulfils, eludes their claims and ignores their petitions, while she indulges herself in the full swing of political extravagance, going to the hills every summer for an insurrection, and returning to the capi tal every winter for a revolution. Imagine a man borrowing 100,000/ to recover an estate, winning his cause, furnishing his house, extending his establish ment, marrying his daughters, contracting new loans, and then, after 10 or 15 years' abjuration of the claims upon him, calling his family together and announcing that " the solemn moment was appne,tching when he might occupy himself with the settlement of his d, btl" Yet this is the allusion which Senor Mon accorded it, he Cortes to the claims against him of 78 ; 000,0001,, and interest of many years' standing. Spain is precise!) in those circumstances against which, in private life, the of the law is justly provided and righteously exerted. She will not pay till she is obliged to do so. She has 'abundance of means, bet sh prefers employing them in novel speculations to absorbing them in obsolete charges. When payment is inevitable it must be made, but evi:ry postponement is so much gain, and may perhaps conduce to an ultimate escape from the liability altegether. In humWe life this class ef tiehzer is at ence served with a writ; lie bows his head !.o the Grinan of necessity, and resist s purse ..o the mate of the law. To such a resoeree th e Spanish bondholders sre now lookine at last, et: 4, the international code does wit proiele very empl,:i. cally for such popular dishonesty, yet there are both clauses and preeedents pointing to a remedy against the general contiegeney. An appeal is now before the Bri tish Parliament from these sufferers. entreating the in terposition of the Government either to help them, or to authorise their helping themselves, and it would indeed show a mi:ignanimous indifference to the source where charity b.7gins, it; after so tleirough a discussion of na tional contracts, we should exempt others from the obli gations which we so freely assume ourselves. We pre sume there can be little comparison between the claims of the Russian Emperor and the claims of the Sp:snish bondholders, nor would there be much greater ditfieulty in maintaining the one than in satisfying the other. There would be no necessity fir the " reprisals" so ominously spoken of by the indignant creditors; matters would hardly come to a distraint upon the Philippines or a sequestration of Cubs. The first process Would termi nate the business, and a single serious word from our Cabinet would at once intimate that ;here was no more room for trifling, and thct the money must be paid. MERITORIOUS ACT of HUMANITY. VALENCIA (IRELAND). MARCH 15.—Mr. Jas. Peters, master of the brig Mercury, of Arbroath, on her way home, perceived a vessel on fire at a considerable dis tance, off the coast of Portugal, and at great inconve nience and some delay made for her, and remained at near her throughout the night as the state of the en would allow. At five o'clock the next morning the crew of the burning vessel lowered their boat, and with 'con siderable difficulty were got on board the Mercury. Altkough Captain Peters was short of provisions at the time, he generously shared everything on board with the sufferers, eleven in number, all French, for whom he provided accommodation on the floor of his cabin, giving the French captain a 13:rth. The Frt nehmen speak with the utmost gratitude of :the humanity of Capt. Peters, but for whose active and timely exertions they would have all perished, either by the flames, or the waves, or by starvation, as the fire cut them off from their stores. Baffled in his endeavours to reach Cork, by the preva lence of severe easterly gales, Captain Peters made the harbour of Valencia, on the 6th inst., where he remains unavoidably windbound. The Mercury is laden with oil cake for Lynn, in Norfolk. The people on board the Mercury, for some days before reaching Valencia, had been reduced to half a glass of water each , and nearly out of provisions. On reaching Valentia, Capt. Peters completed his kindness by conveying the whole party of sufferers to the protection of the French consul at Cork. Such traits of national liberality and generosity are highly gratifying; and we are sure the public, as well as the owners of the Mercury, will applaud Captain Peters for an act which refs , cts additional credit on the character of our countrymen for deeds of humanity. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN R. VYSE, M.P.— Oa Thursday last the Baron Rothschild's hounds met at Rowaham. The deer took a line towards Merton, and when near Mr. Eustace's house, Mr. Vyse, in taking a fence near the road, fell trim his horse, in consequenc., of the saddls slipping round. His toot, unfortunately, hung in the stirrup, by which he was dragged upwards of one hundred yards, the horse galloping at full speed and beating the ,iifortunate gentleman's head against the ground. At length his foot beca me disengaged from the stirrup, and he was carried to the house of Mr. John Eustace, from whence, after a short period, it was deemed advisable to remove him to London by railway. We understand be is at his house in town in a very Alarming state.—Bucks Herald.

Mr. - Editor,--In the "good old times when George 111. was king," and the country was always at war fur the sake of " the throne and the altar," Fast-days came round annually, and seemed to belong to our honoured institution and constitution. They were occasionally varied by Thanksgiving-days. When our soldiers had slaughtered many of the French, we gave thanks ; -and when the French had slaughtered many of our scalers, we fasted. The religion and the slaughtering always went together ; so that blood did but flow, there was sure to be devotion, and I suppose this was what inspired Wordsworth with the thought that "Carnage is God's daughter." The notion of that strange relationship is not abandoned, if we may judge from the recent Proclamation for a Fast. As in those days, our rulers ascribed to Deity the destruction of the French, so do they now ascribe to him the star vation of the Irish. The difference is, that then we wished Him to continue to destroy the French, and now we wish Him to leave off destroying the Irish. Both slaughterings are referred to Providence ; working in one case by leaden bullets, and in the other by rotten potatoes. It was genc rally supposed that this sort of barbarism was at an end. The number of those who know better has been multiplied in the interval. A new generaticn has sprung up; and if little has been done for its educe • tion, there is a widely-acting Spirit of self-instruction amongst the masses. Honest Fanaticism has been made more modest; and mere cant has become less effective. The proclamation for a Fast. day took the public by sur prise. People had thought of a hundred different things for the relief or mitigation of Irish distress; they had thought of opening the ports last November; of prohibiting the exportation of food; of making large purchases abroad with Government funds ; of a temporary subscription; of a permanent poor law ; but they never thought of fasting as a cure fer famine. Only a superannuated devotee, here and there, is to be found with any faith in its efficacy. Providence is net generally believed to be particular abaft our eating flesh or fish. It gives no outward and visible sign of a curse upon mutton, or of Merit in mackeral. There is no obvious reason why roast meat and repentance sh,uld not go together, and be not less available than contrition upon cod-fish. Calamity does nut spare those who feed onl) upon sprats. That a meagre diet ccaistoutes devotion, has come to be regarded as a superstition. The surprise, at the doctrine of the Pr-clumatitm has sunk two a quiet di,gus!.

Its tone to anticipate a sceptical and scornful reception. " We do strictly charge and command," that reverent state of mind which no human being, with whatever brie] shadow of authority inveAted, can effectually command in the conscience of another. The proclamation threatens disregard with the " wrath and indigna tion" of " Almighty God,' Who dares thus talk of throwin7 . thunderbults? Who made the conclave a . Osb , ,rne House," the Privy Councillors of Providence? And what further and earthly punishment is to be en pe2added to the divine? With a strange assumption, after the command upon people to be fasting, reverent and devout "as they tender the favcur of Almighty God, and wou!d avoid his wrath and indignation," it is " and upon pain of such punishment as may be justly inflicted on all such as contemn and neglect, the performance of so religious and necessary a duty.': So then, the culprit is first to be delivered over to the devil, and afterwards to the Attorney-General. He is in danger, first of the penal. ties of divine indignation, and then of the statute (where is it.) in that case made and provided. ,This is taking great liberties with heaven, and with human conscience. Neither our numerous and independent sects, nor the members of the favoured Church, are accustomed to be thus commanded. More will he disposed to anger than to humility; while the milliona will eat their dinners, and go their ways, as if nothing had happened of all this sonorous fulmination. The Irish famine, and the comparative scarcity which is beginning to be. felt in England, are ascribed by the Proclamation to " the iniquities of this land," and to our " manifold sins an4rovocations." Now, Sir, if this be the fact, and if the Deity be really visiting the Irish with a wise and righteous punishment for their wickedness, I humbly suggest that Ho more public money should be voted for relieving them, and thus counteracting the Divine dealings. On that theory, it makes us ex past fact.) accomplices in their guilt. God punishes, and we He shuts them up in the dungeon of despair, and we set open the prison doors. He starves, and we feed. The piety of the Privy Council is a strange jumble. It blunders somewhere. It is at fault egregiously, either. in the pecuniary grants, or in the providential judgments. The sins should have been particularized. What Edmund Burke professed himself unable to do, is at tempted in thhia,uturriont ! draws a bill of indictment against a nation." But the counts are not clear. The specification is omitted. The Irish peasantry may de mand of the Privy Council " Whet sins ?" They may appeal to that portion of Scripture introduced into the service which completely nullifies the spirit of the Proclamation. The bishops, as if in sly rebuke—(can the Right Reverend Fathers be so humorous?)—have put in the text which tells us that those on whom the Tower of Siloam fell were riot sinners above all men in all Jerusalem. The Irish may inter that starvation is no test of sin. Job's comforters must have ae:i-ted at Osborne House. The peasants have lost their potatoes, and, tie:re fine, are plundered of their character. They must be in fault, , for they are famishing. The foulness of their deeds is inferred from the ras.g of fever. If t his he Christian consolation, it is very 0,2. It would he horritly heartless, if the coneecters of the document had any teeaning in their words, Pro bably they thought of nothing more than the common efeiventienalisms ef a relitrious dialect, end so e 'AA blundering on—now vilifyit g Providence, and anon the people. If there be " iniquity," sio," and " provocation" in the case, and they have caused the potato blight, the offenders, sheulti hsrvettel out. Tte Irish ptople have , n>t beet , parietelfo ly wi, is d of late. They have re formed the is • te ats as to ~Inetty, tearvelku-iy. In the matter el . rei;ezel uffy h,4 se been wroug-hrdial, hat hey have vt ry meriteriously kept the Qii-efi's do not see that any peculiar and enormous sin can be br , ught twine to their door. Nor does it appear that the iniquities of this land, so far as they are charge able upon the population at large, have been unusually heinous. At present the all-covering mantle of charity is over them. Patience, energy, unfailing generosity, have been evinced, to an extent that might have saved the potato, it it rotted simply from the want of righteous ness. Who then are the sinners? Mr. Plumptre points to Sir Robert Peel and the Maynooth grant; Lord G. Bentinek intimidated the free traders; Dr. Chalmers glances towards the railway directors that run Sunday trait's; the juries of Irish coroners bring in a verdict of Guilty against Lord John Russell and the Whig Ministry. If any of these charges can be es tablished, let the culprits be prosecuted. But it gives a very odd idea of Providential govern ment to represent such parties as punished by the badness of potatoes. Bad they been the offen ders, and nature employed (according to the proclama tion doctrine) for punishment, the blight would rather have fallen upon the vineyards of the Rhine and the silk-worms of Syria. There would have been typhus among the turtle, and a scarcity of champagne. White bait would be bad and venison villainous. No, they have their faults, and grievous ones; but they have not brought on us the necessity for fasting by any of the offences just enumerated. In another way, their case is not so clear. It now ap pears that a much larger stock of food might have been accumulated in our warehouses, from Eastern Europe, had the corn duty and the navigation-laws been suspended last autumn. For that neglect, that deep sin of go vernmental omission, we are beginn'ng to pay dearly. The pressure will become much heavier, before any sup plies can be obtained. The industrial classes, who are (by taxation) the true feeders of the Irish, aro already pinched themselves ; and have the prospect of severer privations. Proclaim a fast, for them, indeed ! It is proclaimed by the prices in Mark-lane, and ob served, not in churches or chapels, but at bakers' shops. A clergyman in Spitalfields advertises for broken victuals to distribute amongst the desti tute on the evening of the fast-day. Charity is in voked, that thousands may have a chance of breaking the day, and a bit of bread, together. This doctrine of fasting is an ill-timed mockery to suffering millions. They have, per force, fasted enough already. Anti how many operatives can ill afford to lose the day's work, by which they forfeit the day's wages. The piety of the rich is the p enalt y of the p oor. Royal and ducal revenues know no intermission. Rene and dividends are not diminished by fast days. The poor man is fined a sixth of his weekly income; the rich map, not a sixpence. Thus, the facing aid f the Peer are paid for by the nay asset. A prayers 0 . hardship is wantonly emated, that there may be an ito -*in.. display ei devotion. It is too bred that the com monp( s, sense of the country shwa(' endure all this, for fear of the noisy vitup•ratious of the few who pretend to interpret the will of Heaven, A little •more of justice mod charity would be worth a deal of faating sod pay ing; and net the less eeeeptable to Dirty tor Being float to 111 4nkilld.

(FrotaDe Corriova's Mercantile Intelagenccr.) FEB. 23.—We have to report our market as being in a vet better position than it was when we last went to press; the intelligence brought by the packet from Eng iaud,•which came in on the 16th instant, of the high rates of, and incre:ied demand. for, American breadstuffs and provi .sionD having caused a corresponding demand and advance in prices he•e. Speculators are coming forward freely, and the market is being cleared of large quantities of flour, pork, and rice (the two former in particular), which are taken at even beater rates than those reported in our issue of the 6th instant. We think it necessary here to mention, that, in the event of there being a rapture between the House of Assembly and the Council, ari-ing out of the ditcw:sion on the Retrench tnent Bill, it is not unlikely that there will be a dissolution of the House before the Revenue Bill, which will expire on the. sth of April, shall have been gone into. Should events take the turn which it is conjectured they will, the Revenue Bill must remain in abeyance until the differences between the two branches of the Legislature shall be arranged; but we cannot at this moment hazard even a surmise as to the period which will elapse between its expiration and its re newal or amen:►ment. Unless specifically stated to the contrary, long or duty paid prices are always given, and are to be considered as wholesale prices.

Lord Grey, in his dispatch to the Governor, pays high compliment to the Court of Policy and Attorney-General for the zeal and ability with which they have framed and carried several Bills through the Legislature to assimilate the laws of the colonies to the laws of the mother country, among which is an Act for the establishment of trial by jury, the operation of which, although a novelty, is carried out better than was anticipated.
