Among the champions which have stood forth, as the bold and uncompromising advocates of the Church of England, in opposition to the triple band of Papists, political dissenters, and infidels, we know of none that has done more essential service than the able periodical under notice. The present number of this truly excellent review is remarkable for the force, erudition, and originality which characterise its several articles. The elaborate re marks on the " Documentary Annals of the Anglican Church" will afford the highest gratification to every sincere admirer of our truly orthodox and apostolical establishment. The article on " Ancient Christianity" is candidly and ably written, and steers clear of Puseyism—the rock upon which so many , distinguished modern divines have been ship wrecked. The analytical notice of " Milman's Poetical Works" is an eloquent production. Would that we could persuade every professing Protestant to peruse, with a candid spirit, the admirable article on " Ireland under Papal Go vernment." It would serve to dissipate much of the darkened prejudice which is now so prevalent, and which is the source of so much injury to'the interests of true Chris tianity. " The English Country Gentleman" is a delightful essay, abounding in touching descriptions of rural life. The " Ages of Faith" is a very curious article, calculated to lower the boasts of the " march of intellect" philosophers of the present day. It fully proves the truth of the assertion, that, in many respects, science has rather retrograded than ad vanced throughout Europe. The article on " The Treatment of Ecclesiastical Claims" is one of the best that we have seen on the subject of church extension. There is much truth in the remarks on " Todd's Lectures on Prophecy," but we cannot agree with the writer in many of his conclu sions. The observations on' Croly's Life of Burke" dis play a profound insight into human nature. There is no velty, as well as a high degree of interest, in the " History of the Church of Ireland." This is a subject upon which there have bean very few works written, and respecting which much ignorance exists. " Her Majesty's Incapables" is the title of a slashing political article, in which very little mercy is shown to the members of the present imbecile administra tion. We exceedingly regret that the editor of the Church of England Quarterly has committed himself so egregiously as to attack Mr. M`Neile, than whom we feel assured there is not a sounder churchman in the kingdom. He has done eminent service to the church by his recent lectures in Lon don, and is entitled to the praise of every member of the establishment. The miscellaneous intelligence in this pe riodical is exceedingly interesting and important. " Ten Thousand a Year " occupies its proper place as the first article in the present number of Blackwood. This tale increases in interest as it proceeds. The last part is a touch ing specimen of the pathetic. We venture to predict for " Ten Thousand a year," if re-published with illustrations, after the modern fashion, a popularity to which even the Pick wick Papers never could aspire. " Aboukir " is a graphic narrative, rich in poetic imagery. The continuation of the essay on " The Essenes " is well worth a careful perusal. The author has evidently read much, and carefully digested what he has read. " Another Passage of Autobiography "is ad mirably expressed, and will be read with avidity. The review of " The Diversions of Purley " cannot fail to afford a rich treat to the scholar. The philological disquisitions of Horne Tooke are treated with very little ceremony or respect. "Carlo Sebastiani,,:the Aid-de-camp," is a capital tale, strongly re minding us of what Blackwood used to be "in days of yore." The interest attached at the present moment to everything connected with the east, will cause the article on " Khiva, Central Asia, and Cabul," to be perused with much attention. It is replete with valuable information. " Hymns of a Her mit " are far above mediocrity—a compliment which can rare ly be applied to modern poetry. Our piscatorial friends will do well to read the review of " Shaw on Salmon Fry." The paper on " Modern Superstition " abounds in curious illus trations. " The Anti National Faction is a capital attack upon the ministers and their incongruous allies. Though the articles iu the present number of Fraser are not numerous, they are all of them exceedingly interesting. The critique on " Charles Dickens and his Works" is, at once, clever, impartial, and discriminating. We think, with many of our contemporaries, that " Boz" has been greatly over-rated. His later productions fully justify us in enter taining this opinion. He is not, however, without his pecu liar excellencies, in certain styles of composition. In " Blue Friar Pleasantries" we have some amusing descriptions of the different modes of " popping the question," which we cor dially recommend to the notice of all who are under the in fluence of the " tender passion," but who have not yet so far " screwed up their courage to the sticking point" as to venture to " declare themselves." " Specimens of Persian Poetry" will be read with avidity by all who can appreciate the glowing and gorgeous imagery of oriental authors. The artiele on " Manners, Fashion, and Things in General," is a pleasant and gossiping affair, that will serve to beguile a leisure hour. " What's What" is much of the same cha racter as the preceding. It has, however, an occasional dash of sound philosophy. We have enjoyed a hearty laugh in reading " Another Book of Blunders," which contains some severe hits at the " Dissenting interest." The continuation of " Scenes in the Desert" fully sustains the interest excited by the former part. The miscellaneous observations "On Shakspeare" are extremely curious, and many of them are original, which is saying a great deal after the volumes of commentaries upon the immortal bard that have already been published. We always open this truly Protestant and conservative magazine with pleasure, and seldom is that pleasure alloyed by the perusal of any of the articles which it contains. In the number before us we have the continuation of " Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon," from the inimitable pen of Harry Lorrequer. This article alone is worth the price of the magazine. The scenes described are amusing in the ex treme, especially the account of the dinner at Mr. Blake's. In the " Portrait Gallery" for this month we have a charac teristic sketch of " Martin Doyle," alias the Rev. W. Hickey, who has contributed so largely to improve the agri cultural taste of his fellow-countrymen. The specimens of " Arabian, Persian, and Turkish Poetry," are extremely rich in oriental imagery. The " Recollections of a Portrait Painter" embrace another exquisite narrative, replete with tenderness and pathos. The review of " Bulwer's Dramatic Poetry" possesses a very high degree of interest. The illus trations of the critique are judiciously selected. " The Voice of the Season" is a beautiful composition, calculated to excite feelings of profound and heartfelt devotion. The analysis of " Bishop Mant's History of the Church of Ire land" is well worth a careful and attentive perusal. " Law and Lawyers" is an article full of anecdotes, intermixed with much sound wisdom, the result of experience and reflection. The remaining articles in this number fully sustain its cha racter as an independent but constitutional periodical. There are nine vessels now taking emigrants in this har bour for North America, on average 150 each, besides seven vessels already cleared out with full complements, for the same destination. Very comfortable peasantry from the county Tipperary are emigrating in great numbers from our port to Quebec.

Within the last few days several vessels have taken their departure from this port, destined principally for British North America and the United States, and carrying a larger amount of emigrants than we have noticed for more than three years.

THE LATE ELOPEMENT FROM BRIGHTON.--The follow ing paragraph appears in Friday's Galignani A corre spondent informs us that at an early hour yesterday a reve rend gentleman, distinguished by his high scientific attain ments, and whose recent flight from England occasioned a considerable sensation, was tbund at an hotel in this city, by the husband of the lady who accompanied the doctor to the continent. The rmcontre is described as having been dis agreeable in the extreme to the latter, and was followed by the instant removal of the fair fugitive by her father." The Post correspondent in Paris sends the following version— " The occupants of the Hotel Trouchet, rue Trouchet, behind the Madelaine, in Paris, were roused from their slumbers on Wednesday night, or rather Thursday morning, for it was be tween two and three o'clock, by screams of ' murder ! ' and piercing shrieks. It appears that the hotel has amongst its lodgers Dr. Lardner and Mrs. Heaviside, whose flight from Brighton, and pursuit by the injured husband, have been mentioned in the English papers. Mr. Heaviside and Col. Spicer, (Mrs. Heaviside's father) who, with four servants, had arrived from England, had ascertained the address of the gu ilty pair, and having obtained an entrance, the lady was dragged out of her bed, notwithstanding her screams for as sistance, and removed to the Hotel de l'F.,urope, rue de Ri- A - oil, and an hour afterwards was removed by her father from Paris en route for England.

Painter, 342, Strand. THE FOREIGN COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH GREA I' BRITAIN. (From the Scottish Guardian) The growing interest of the community in the alarm ing state of our commercial relations abroad, and the established conviction of individuals no less distin guished for station and ability than for their moral ex cellence, have compelled us to a more reflecting exa mination of the solemn charge so fearlessly advanced against the Foreign Minister, of the blackest crime that can attach to a native of these isles. Considering the general prosperity of mankind to he inseparably interwoven with the stability and power of Britain as a commercial non-aggressive state, the natural guardian of the seas, it cannot but appear im possible that systematic treason could be pursued be tween a British minister and any single foreign prince for a series of years without involving its detection by some friendly state, which would arouse the British people and the world at large to a sense of danger to the general welfare of mankind. That the power of England, therefore, could be lent to any single foreign state for a series of years to carry out the overthrow of England's influence, may be fairly admitted as impossible, since no minister of sane mind could contemplate escaping the ignominious conse quences of his infamy. This portentous question, however, assumes a very different aspect under a conjunction of circumstances in the internal state of Britain—singularly adapting it self to the peculiar relations of other states, when the whole of the great powers, with one exception, having interests conflicting with those of England, conspire to support their separate and collective action against this country by selecting an individual, false to every Bri tish party, as the instrument of their designs; offering to him the incitement of an ostensible position of ap parent supremacy in the direction of the affairs of the world, and thus enabling him to secure and to disguise their joint progress towards the accomplishment of their separate ends, and the destruction of his native land, by a general assurance to the Queen of England of their cordial amity. Peace hai been the proclaimed object, during the last ten years, of England and every other state. England, France, and Russia have been bound to gether by the strongest alliance, for the pacification of the east ; England and the United States, through the award of the King of the Netherlands, were at the same time united for the pacification of the west. The natural result of these sacred and mighty bonds, had the alliance been a bona fide transaction, must have been the peaceful direction of their diplomatic means alone to the accomplishment of their ends. What, then, is the state of England's mind, when Russia, France, and Egypt alone, the joint partitioners of the Ottoman empire, whose " independence" and "integrity" the Sovereign of England has pledged her self to maintain, have at this hour in commission, ready to unbend their sails, an amount of naval force equal to one hundred sail of the line—Eugland Turkey hav ing respectively less than four, to defend their own shores and their national existence ? Who, then, is their enemy ? Who their intended victim ? THE CAN ADAS. (From the Morning Herald of Tuesday) The bill for the union of the Canadas was read a second time last night in the House of Commons. The speakers, generally, reserved the expression of their opinions until the bill should be introduced into committee. An interesting discussion, however, took place on the character of some of the relations in which we stand to the Canadas. Nothing can be more obvious than that, in legislat ing for Canada, a mistake of no great apparent mag nitude may involve the loss of those invaluable colo nies. The great object to be attained is the establish ment on the firmest possible footing of British supre macy throughout our North American provinces. It is, of course, most desirable to secure the largest mea sure of justice to the French Canadians. Their griev ances, if such exist, ought at once to be redressed ; but they must be made to feel that the ascendancy of British views and opinions is the great end in refer ence to the Canadas of English policy. As yet it might be unsafe to repose much confidence, during times of danger, in the French Canadians. To the British loyalists alone may we trust ; and in a nobler body of colonists did no mother country ever repose confidence. But for the almost superhuman efforts of the loyalist British settlers, the Canadas would, as suredly, during the late convulsions have been trans ferred to the United States. The merit of these gal lant and patriotic men has never (as it seems to us) been sufficiently acknowledged. Lord Durham was too busy in courting popularity by the most paltry means, to bestow a thought on the heroic volunteers who so effectually seconded all the gallant movements of Lord Seaton. Mr. Poulett Thomson again, is, by the nature of his principles, opposed to our great co lonial systems; while his free-trade theories, in regard to the staple business of the Canadas, render him at all times a dangerous law liver for those provinces. The Canadas constitute a daily increasing market to the manufactures of England—a market second in steadiness and value only to that which has been created by the home trade. The Canadas maintain the balance of British power, and place the United States in a con dition, more or less, of dependence on the political ar rangements of England. To abandon the Canadas would be to invite a general dismemberment of the empire; and if we would avert the necessity for the abandonment of these noble provinces, we must sus tain, at all hazards, the ascendancy of the British loy alists, and break down, as rapidly as possible, the in fluence of those associations which, at present, prevent the French Canadians from yielding aught but a grudg ing obedience to the sway of England. THE DUKE OF SUSSEX—MARRIAGE PAST AND TO COME. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) We will not say that we are alarmed, but we certainly are somewhat astonished, at the reverberations of our own "thunder." The articles that have appeared in this journal, with the documents and opinions substan tiating the claims of the children of the Duke of Sus sex, and confirmatory of the legality of the marriage, notwithstanding their extreme length, have been deemed of sufficient consequence by the conductors of the London press to be transferred to the columns of the leading metropolitan journals, and have appeared in almost all the influential provincial papers in the em pire. Never having taken up the subject except upon pub lic and constitutional grounds, we are extremely un willing in its progress to embark in anything like angry controversy with our contemporaries; hut when mis statements the most monstrous are put forward, and falsehoods the most vile are fabricated, we owe it to truth and justice to contradict the one and unmask the other. With this view, and for this purpose, we ex tract the following scandalous article from a recent number of the Court Journal : " MARRIAGE OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE DUKE OF SUSSEX. " The intended marriage (or rather acknowledgment of a marriage which has already taken place) of the Duke of Sus sex to Lady Cecilia Underwood, has drawn forth from our contemporaries many remarks, complimentary and otherwise. With these we shall not deal at present, but upon some ob servations which seem called for in consequence of an article which appeared in a Dublin newspaper, and has been very generally copied by the London press, in respect of his Royal Highness's marriage with the Lady Augusta Murray. We suppose the subject has been brought upon the tapis by some indiscreet friend of Sir Augustus and Miss D'Este. We say indiscreet, because the matter, though not forgotten, was by no means prominent in the public mind, and the present revival of the affair seems to us to have been made for the purpose of freeing the character of the late Lady Augusta at the expense of that of his Royal Highness. This is not duti ful, to say the least of it ; we shall show that it is unjust also. " Previously to the passing of the late marriage act, this ordinance was considered, not only in England but in all Christendom, to be one comprising three several and separate contracts ; first, the contract between the parties contracting the marriage ; second, between the parties and the Supreme Being; and, third, between the parties and the public or commonwealth. The second of these contracts is no longer necessary according to law. " Now in the marriage of his Royal Highness to the Lady Augusta Murray, at Rome, the three contracts were un doubtedly literally fulfilled ; but was there the true spirit? We say distinctly, no! There was one element wanting; there was full publicity evaded by the 'parties, and we con tend that the contract with the public was- not virtually com pleted. When Lady A. Murray gave her hand to the Duke, she must have been well aware that the marriage would be utterly distasteful to the King ; she must have been well aware that his Majesty had influence enough with parliament to induce it to dissolve an engagement so repugnant to what was considered good policy. The union, it will be remem bered, was altogether dissolved; and during the Duke's life, the lady married again ; a conclusive proof to , us that her Ladyship considered the marriage an invalid one ab initio. It seems to us, therefore, an unwise and injudici ous thi ng to call the attention of the public to the circumstances, as nothing can be gained from it. " As for the Royal Marriage Act, it is so utterly repug. nant to justice, that it ought to be repealed immediately ; and we heartily rejoice that it will not be brought to bear against the inclinations of the Duke i i n n h th is e ß p o re y s a e l n H t instance. ighnesa9a With regard to the expected increase h lone ag o o f . st A ri t c t t ao j h u e st d ic t e o , t w h h e i m c ,h o ig ug p h a t rt t y o , i h u a c v o e me been it e s n b d u e t r e a d m a o t n h a a t b p e a t r t t e y r cfoa footing i n r t o h a p n o w t h e a r t , wthhehaihtnahhdehawe right o a u n l d d u r h t e u a d v e e i n x b p e c e o e n u n t eon lt ne is et s e o d g en ed tle in ma it n s s 'p e lw q a u ch e ee n dn ce of his opinions.

But, courting as we do, free and unreserved discussion — and it would be presumptuous, indeed, for us to iden tify ourselves, however remotely, with the distinguished personages who are directly interested in the issue now pending —w e defy calumny to insinuate aught disre spectful to the memory of the Lady Augusta Murray, or ingenuity to substantiate anything derogatory to her honour. And yet in the article quoted it is stated " that the union with her ladyship was altogether dis solved, and that during the Duke's life the lady mar ried again." This is mere i nvention---a pure and gra tuitous falsehood; and that cause must indeed be weak that requires such props for its sustainment. We quote the whole article, for the purpose of giving the statement it contains the most flat and decided contra diction, and of challenging its author, whoever he may be, to the proof. The Earl and Countess of Wilton leave town in the course of a few days, for Strathfieldsaye, on a volt to the Duke of Wellington, during the holidays• The interests of England are at stake—all we love and venerate is threatened; and, therefore, with all the solemnity of a high and Christian duty, we address you in the calm and sober words of truth, but in language fervent and earnest. We intreat of you a fair, candid, and dispassionate hearing.. We implore you to ponder deliberately what we say ; and we beseech the Almighty Father of us all to bless, direct, and guide you to a right conclusion. May the Spirit of our God and Saviour rest mightily upon you ; enable you to walk in His pure and holy light, and, with all the sacred energy of His gracious influences, nerve your heart and hand to the duty that lies before you. Popery, the dreadful curse of every nation in which she gains supreme power, is now struggling for the mastery amongst us. Popery, which in the days of Queen Mary shed freely the blood of operatives like ourselves, for no other crime than loving the Lord Jesus Christ, and boldly main taining his truth, is daily gaining more and more power in our free and happy land—power which she would, doubtless, use again for the same murderous purposes. Popery, which murdered John Huss, after granting him a safe passport— popery, which massacred, in cold blood, thousands of Pro testants at Paris, on St. Bartholemew's-day, and struck a medal to commemorate the wholesale murder—popery, which slew thousands upon thousands of the innocent Waldenses— which put to torture and to death tens of thousands by means of the Inquisition--this very sane popery has sent up her persecuting laws against us in these dominions, and only wants the power to put them into force—popery, which fitted out the Spanish Armada, and freighted the vessels with rods of iron, thumbscrews, and other cruel instruments of torture with which to torment and destroy our forefathers—popery, which in 1641 stirred up a great rebellion in Ireland in which many thousands of Protestants were barbarously murdered, is again plotting, scheming, and organising her deadly plans of treason and sedition in Ireland—popery, which tried by the notorious gunpowder plot, to blow up king, lords, and commons at a stroke, is again attempting to destroy the de fences of the throne, and the institutions of the country. Her plans are deep laid with marvellous forethought and profound sagacity. Her vigour is unabated, and gathers strength progressively. She makes use of every instrument that presents itself, avails herself of every opportunity that occurs. Step by step she steadily advances. Her assaults become more bold, powerful, and incessant. Her proud and impious claims are urged with increasing audacity, and she hesitates not to tell us that in a very few short years every free-born Englishman shall again become the slave of the Pope. Brother Operatives! with these facts before us, and know ing from her own lips that popery is unchanged, and there fore as cruel and persecuting as ever, we cannot look upon the rapid strides she has" lately made towards power in this Protestant land without great fear and alarm. We behold her chapels for idol worship springing up in every direction — her power in the House of Commons fearfully great, her in fluence at court alarmingly manifest. We see with grief and shame her college at Maynooth, in Ireland, receiving £8924 of the public money every year. We have seen within the last month with deep and heartfelt sorrow, another of her colleges, viz. St. Mary, Oscotts, in England, receiving a charter from the Queen. Brother Operatives, these things fill us with serious alarm, for we know well that popery is the curse of nations," and has always brought with her, wherever she has come, ruin, misery, and persecution. But this is not all; neither is this the thing that gives us the greatest uneasiness, or that fills our minds with the most pungent grief, fear, and apprehen sion. In the midst of all these evils, brother operatives, with popery coming like a deluge, bringing in its train every imaginable evil—the Protestants of England are asleep— asleep, with the volcano heaving beneath them, ready to ex. plode and bury them in its ashes. This, this, brother ope ratives, is the most dangerous of all the fearful " signs of the times." The majority of British Protestants appear to be almost blind to their dangers, careless of their privileges, and heedless of the hosts of enemies that are banded against them. We see on all sides hopeless and reckless immorality : socialism and every kind of blasphemy and infidelity running like torrents of water down our streets. And in the midst of it all—where are the souls faithful to truth? Where are the zealous servants of God striving and protesting against these " aboundings of iniquity ?" Where are the noble witnesses for Christ, clothed with zeal as a cloak, lifting up their voices with strength, vindicating the injured cause of their Divine Master? Where are the true and patriotic souls who " sigh and cry for the abominations of the land ?" We scarcely know where to find them. They are few, scat tered, and divided. Instead of great, earnest, constant, and united efforts to stem the torrent, we see only here and there a solitary individual struggling in the strength of God to de :end the perilled cause of truth, and stave off the mighty tide of national desolation. Brother Operatives, ought this to be ? We put it to the conscience of every one of you—ought this to be ? Ought God to be thus insulted, Christ thus despised, derided, and blasphemed ; his glorious gospel thus shamefully vilified, by papists, socialists, and other infidels, and we standing by ? Ought the liberties of Englishmen to be thus threatened—our rights to be thus invaded—the peace and security of our wives, our children, and our children's children thus endan dered by the persecutin system of popery, and the demo ralising system of socialism ? Brother Operatives, we know you are too generous, too warmly attached to your domestic comforts, too paternally fond of your offspring to be inactive. You will not—you dare not—permit this tide of desolation to sweep over your hearths and the safeguards of society unopposed. Brother Operatives, we feel convinced you love yourselves too well to permit them to be torn from your grasp: you know the value of that precious charter of salvation too well quietly to permit any system to gain power, which would use that power to deprive your offspring of that glorious gospel. We know right well that you merely want information ; you only require, as we did, to have these things pointed out to you, to engage heart and hand in the glorious work of oppos ing anti-Christ, and beating back the deluge of popery and infidelity which threatens to destroy ou'r once happy land. Brother Operatives, we feel sure that you love and rever ence your God, the God of Britain, too devoutly not to come forward boldly, " quit yourselves like men," and " contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints." We trust that you love your Lord and Saviour too fervently not to confess him faithfully and serve him truly in these days "of trouble, rebuke, and blasphemy." We call upon you, then, brother operatives, with all the affection of a common brotherhood—one with you in truth—one with you in occu pation—one with you in creed—bound to you with the closest ties that can bind man to man ; with one common faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all—one with-you in our temporal duties, and in our hope of a glorious immortality. We call upon you, brother operatives, by your zeal for your God and Saviour; by your reverence for the Bible; your love to your country, your wives, and children ; your attach ment to your civil and religious liberties ; our loyalty to your Queen ; your pity, love, and compassion for your poor deluded Roman Catholic brethren, to be up and stirring—to unite—" Arm yourselves with the whole armour of God," and be " valiant for the truth." We do not summon you to perform a task from which, in slothfulness, we ourselves would shrink. We are willing, with God's will, to spend and be spent in this work. We are Protestants from rational conviction—Protestants upon principle—operatives by occupation. We find the consola tions of the Gospel our support in affliction, our solace in ad versity, the soother of our cares, the sweetener of our daily toils, the soft quieter of our anxieties and fears ; and we know that they will be our comfort and support in death. We cheerfully earn our bread by the sweat of our brow, cheered in our daily work by the abundant love of our compassionate God and Saviour ; and while we learn from our pure and un defiled religion the duty and the privilege of labouring for our sustenance, and are taught that the Christian operative is as acceptable to God as the Christian monarch or the pious no bleman, our principles lead us to be operative and energetic in defence of our religion. We have formed ourselves into a society for mutual edification, to receive, at monthly meet ings, information on these vital matters, and to arm ourselves with arguments and facts with which to relate the falsehoods of the enemies of our God and of His truth. We call upon you to do the same. We warn you, brother operatives, that Popery unresisted will soon be Popery rampant. She cannot be—she will never be, content with anything short of undi vided power over every man's body, soul, or spirit. Our enemy is formidable—our danger is imminent--but the strength in which we stand, the weapons with which we war,are mighty, spiritual, and never yet failed the man who trusted in them. We stand in the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is omnipotent. We take the Bible for our weapon, which we know to be eternal truth, the word of the living God, "sharper than a two-edged sword," against which no form of error, however subtle, no anti-Christian power, however formidable, ever yet prevailed. Committing you to God, who is able to make all grace abound towards you, and to render you fruitful in every good word and work ; humbly praying that the words we address to you in much feebleness, but with equal earnestness and strong affection, may be blessed by the life-giving energy of the Holy Ghost, and so redound to the glory of God and the spiritual benefit of our fellow-men, We remain, Brother Operatives, your affectionate brethren in Christ.

The late commissioners have, since the year 1836, raised about £300,000 by the sale of lands, and also £BO,OOO on loan, secured upon the future revenues of the infant colony to be established by them, of which latter sum they deposited £20,000 in the hands of trustees, named by the Lords of the Treasury, as a security against the colony beeoming at any future time chargeable to the British nation. This was done previous to a ship or surveyor sailing from England in 1836; £35,000 was also previously raised by the sale of lands, in conformity with the act of parliament. Col. Light founded the colony at Adelaide in 1836, where, by the last accounts, there are 12,000 persons in a state of progressive prosperity. The annualrevenue, calculated to the quarter ending June 30, 1839, amounted to £17,500. There have been 51,396 tons of shipping entered Port Adelaide since 1836, of which upwards of 20,000 tons came from Great Britain, and there is now advertised upwards of 2,000 tons for South Australia, to sail in the present month (April) from the port of London alone. This has been accomplished by the com missioners, after five years' anxious, zealous, and gratu i tous services, without the national purse being called upon to ad vance one penny. Six or seven of the commissioners requested, early in December last, an audience with Lord John Russell, which was not granted ; but they were dismissed without the least previous notice, by Lord John Russell, on the 23d Dec. without allowing them to remain in office until the 31st of that month, so as to be enabled to make their annual report ae o f h t o h three immediatelyperson s with took salaries n o ss possession s o i to the Ho use o f C ommons to that date, as required by act of ParhaFne having ; Lord J o h n R ussell having appointed a new commissionh w f on £l 7th p e er funcl an num e raised by the credit and character of the unpaid commission ers ;* two of the new comm i ss i oners being gentlemen wholly unacquainted and unconnected with the affairs of South Australia. * The only commissioner who received compensation was the chairman, Col. Torrens ; who has, it seems, obtained from £2,000 to £3,000 for the part he took under the late commission, respecting which, and some other like interest ing matter, will appear from the p apers moved for by Lord Eiiot,andordered by the House of Commons, on the 29th ult. to be produced forthwith. The Trinidad papers, the latest date of which is the 11th of February, state , tha t the trade and revenu e of the island t were fast increasing ; an d to p rove it, the p a pers iv amount of custom-house du ties received for the year 18 39, e which was £16,469 16s, which, compared with the year 1838, showed an increase of £4,508.25. The amount of colonial taxes received, after discharging all charges of the custom house establishment, officers' salaries, &c. for the sam e period, was £14,189 16s ; which compared with 1838, showed an increase of £4,548 2s 6d. The amount of ton nage of shipping for the year 1839 was 49 , 167 ; and th is , when compared with 1838, showed an increase of 1764 tons. The amount of American tonnage (not including British possession) was 10,179; compared with the year 1838, showed an increase of 4396 tons. Amongst the numerous publications which have recently appealed on the subject of the currency, perhaps none is entitled to more attention than the work, before us. The author is practically acquainted with the details of the sub ject upon which he writes, having been for many years con nected with some of the principal banks in the kingdom, and at present holding the situation of Sub-Manager of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne Joint Stock Banking Company. Mr. Bell gives a short but an exceedingly interesting history of Banking from its establishment at Venice, in the middle of the 12th century, to the present time ; he then explains the general principles of banking, and treats of Joint Stock Ranks in particular, illustrating, with much clearness, the entire economy of such establishments. He considers Joint Stock Banks as moral, religious, mercantile, and political institutions. and gives some valuable hints and sound maxims under all these heads. As a political institution he thus speaks of the Bank of England " Every bank that ministers to the wants of a government, and is in turn protected by that government from the bank ruptcy which its imprudent management would otherwise in many instances produce, becomes to all intents and purposes a political engine, subserving the purposes of government and exercising an undue and unconstitutional influence over the fortunes of individuals and the operations of trade. The history of the Bank of England from its commencement, when the whole of its entire capital was advanced to government, down to the present day, shows on the one hand, that while they were ready at all times to make advances of their capital to the government in lieu of certain privileges and emoluments secured in their charter as the Bank of the state, the government, on the other hand, were equally ready to protect them from the bankruptcy and ruin which the demand of the public creditor must inevitably have pro duced. Had the operations of the Bank of England exer cised no influence over the trade of the country farther than its own legitimate business extended, the evils with which its career has been marked would never have taken 'place, and its capacity to do mischief might have been, by the united efforts of other banks and result of the public experience, gradually counteracted and curtailed. But so long as the privilege of issuing an unlimited amount of paper is conti nued to her by act of parliament, and so long as the govern ment are prepared to render her imprudence subversive of all national prosperity, by shielding her under a suspension of cash payments, it is clear that successful competition on the part of other banks is out of the question ; that the trade of the country is laid under a necessity of alternate prospe rity and depression, ebbing and flowing, while the fortunes of individuals embarked in commerce are constantly perilled by the capricious exercise of her influence. While all the notes of other banks are convertible into gold at the will of the holder, and the public are at liberty toreceive or reject them as they think proper, those of the Bank of England are constituted a legal tender, and in all transactions, except with the Bank itself, are a compulsory substitute for coin. It is evident that in this view the Bank of England, over looking altogether the enormous and dangerous privilege thus possessed, enjoys an immense superiority over all other banking institutions. And it must be also evident, that according to the prudent or imprudent manner in which the issue of her notes is regulated, must be the advantage or misfortune experienced by the commerce of the country. The privilege of issuing an unlimited amount of paper, which it can create at will, is one greatly magnified in its mischiev ous tendency by the additional privilege of holding and job bing in government stocks enjoyed by the Bank of England. It is, in fact, stigmatized in the city of London as a great abuse and evil, but it is much increased by the secret arts and manoeuvres resorted to in the purchase or sale of the stock for the purpose of concealing the operation. The po sition and privileges of the Bank of England not only invest it with a great political character, but, from the magnitude of its operations, and the extent of its issues, which are a legal tender over the country, it exercises an indirect but certain influence over every banking establishment in the kingdom. It follows necessarily, that a political character is imposed upon all banks, which is the more clear from the fact, that whatever is the conduct of the Bank of England, becomes more or less the conduct of every country bank." Upon the political character of the Bank of England, and is influence on' other banking establishments, the following considerations are suggested : " 1. The Bank of England is invested with a very dan gerous political character and power, and one of such mag nitude as ought not to he possessed by any corporate body. 2. This power has been frequently exercised to the injury of trade and of private fortune, and ought, therefore, to be withdrawn. 3. By placing the business of the government and all the revenue of the country in the hands of one com pany, the goiernment acts illiberally, exclusively, and un justly, towards other banking establishments, because it is the duty of a good government to distribute equal favour and equal justice to all. 4. The bank herself is fettered by her connection with the government. 'With respect to all the other banks in the country, both public and private, it must appear :-1. That a political character is foreign to their con stitution, and they ought, therefore, to be relieved from its responsibility. 2. That they are fettered by the operations of the Bank of England and their energies are cramped and controlled by an establishment to which they ought to be under no obligation. 3. That they are entitled to fair and free competition with the Bank of England, and ought, therefore, to possess an equal share of government ' pa tronage." These observations are highly important and interesting at the present moment. The above extracts show the ge neral character of Mr. Bell's publication. No banker should be without a copy of it, and its contents ought to be care fully studied by every one engagedin mercantile transactions. ,i§bipplitg iintelligenre. TUESDAY, APRIL 14.—Wind S.E.

MANCHESTER.—There was a better feeling in the market yesterday; and though we cannot quote any positive advance of prices, sales were more easy to effect at current rates. People seem at length to have satisfied themselves that no further decline in prices is to be apprehended ; and, there fore, they have ceased to talk about it, and supply the neces sities of their trade, whether in goods or yarns, without hesitation. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, APRIL 13. We have had again a very dull market, and there seems to be no prospect of any speedy improvement. The prices offered for flannels to-day have been extremely low, and many have kept their goods rather than submit to such a reduction. Last week many of the manufacturers reduced wages as much as 2s. or 2s. 6d. in the pound. To-day the streets are extensively posted with an address of the woollen weavers and spinners, calling upon masters, in the name of common humanity,. not to reduce their already too scanty wages, and appealing to the inhabitants for aid, or they shall be compelled to resort to their respective townships, in order 'to preserve their wives and children from starvation. H UDDERSFIELD MARKET, APRIL 14.—There was a better market to-day than for sonic weeks past, although prices have not much improved ; but the prospect of a rise seems to be more clear. One good symptom is in the system of working to order, and orders are daily increasing ; conse quently, better prices for orders can he obtained. There was a little more animation in the light fancy trade, which has been unusually dull. heretofore. Prices in this department are improving. Wools are on the advance. Oa the whole, a decided change for the better has taken place ; and a hope is entertained that trade will once more take a profitable turn.---Manchester Guardian. BGACKBURN.—We have no change to notice in the state of our trade since the report of this day week, except an in creased inquiry for some descriptions of cloth for shipping, which has not, however, been followed by any improvement in prices ; yet with such animating prospects for harvest, we do indulge the hope that business must be better ere long.— Blackburn Standard.

Stocks of prime Butter have run extremely low, and the prices of such are high, say from 1005. to 105 s. for Belfast, &c. It is diftlenit to quote the price of anything stale, fcr which there is no demand whatever. Supplies of new Butter are now anxiously looked for, and a brisk enquiry, at good prices, is anticipated. There is not any thing new to report in the barrelled provision, or Bacon market SOUTH AMERICA.

The sales on Thursday last were 3509 bags ; Friday 5000; Satur day 4000 ; Monday 4000 ; Tuesday 3000 ; and to-day 5000. There has been a fair demand from the trade since last week, and prices of American have been fully maintained Brazils (which are very scarce) arid Egyptian are id per lb higher. The import of the week amounts to 31,376 bags. Tfl CRSDAI7_ EVENING, There has been an improved demand this week for all descriptiOns of American Cotton, and, although the late imports have been freely offered, the market remains steady at the last quotations. The very limited stock of Brazil, only a portion of which can be offered for sale, has caused a further advance of id islb ; Egyptian also is in fair request, and readily commands id s lb more than previous rates. 2000 bales of American have been taken on specu lation, and 2500 for export.

In addition to the large imports of Wheat, stated in our circular of the 7th inst. a considerable supply has come to hand since, consist ing of 4723 qrs. coastwise and from Ireland, with 14.793 qrs. chiefly from the continental ports of Europe, and 17,524 brls. of Flour from the American states : of Barley, Oats, Pease, and Oatmeal, the arrivals are moderate, but of other articles, the imports, and of all, the exports of the week are trivial. After as favourable a season as possible for carrying on and nearly completing spring culture, we had a line genial rain with little intermission from Saturday afternoon last until Monday morn ing ; which, succeeded by a mild atmosphere, has already produced a most salutary effect on vegetation ; and impressing the minds of buyers with the persuasion Of lower prices, has given a further check to anything Like extensive operations for the moment.—The Wheat trade accordingly at this day's market continued to recede, the holders submitting to a decline of from tid. to Scl. per 701bs. from the rates of Tuesday last; the millers and dealers in consequence bought rather more freely, and for immediate consumption sales to a fair amount were effected.—English and Irish Flour was nearly without inquiry at a reduction of from 2s. to 3s. per sack, and in duty-paid Foreign little progress could he made though offered at from 38s. to 395. per barrel ; while for States Flour in bond from 28s. to 4 285. 6d. were extreme prices. Prime malting Barley was 25., grinding from 2s. to 35., and Malt ls. per qr. lower, with a very limited demand for each.—Beans and ,Pease, on the contrary, maintained late prices. Oats and Oatmeal were in rather more request at nearly our last quotations. WHEAT, per 701bs S. d. S. d. INDIAN CORN, r 4801 h.

Of English, Irish and Foreign Grain collectively, the arrivals since Tuesday, being the receipts of two days only, contain a fair supply, with 12,365 barrels of States' Flour • which, including 17,524 up last week, amounts to nearly 35,000 barrels in nine days; of sack Flour however, we have had very little to notice, and not much Oatmeal fresh in to-day. To-morrow being Good Friday our second market this week was held to-day, which, being out 'of the usual course, very few either town or country buyers appeared; and those seemingly deterred by the present fine weather, showed very little inclination to pur chase : of good red Baltic Wheat, however, a few limited parcels were sold at about 10s being nearly equal to the reduced rates of Tuesday : but the general runs of Mediterranean were again 3d per 701 b cheaper, whilst of English and Irish Wheat or Flour, no sales transpired to determine any actual change in prices. American Flour, both free and in bond, being equally neglected to-day, each may be considered the turn lower. The same or nearly similar remarks appear to he applicable to al other articles of the trade, which, in the absence of demand, seemed to be rather depressed in value.

We have had to-day the best market for Shares which has been known for many months, and are glad to notice as a gratifying feature that the large amount of business done has been almost entirely confined to bonafide purchases for investment, and not for the temporary purposes of speculation. The principle Shares in demand have been Great Western Halves and London and Bir mingham New Shares. The former were done at 351, 36} to 3, leaving off buyers. The London and Birmingham were done at 46 and 463 ; Birmingham and Gloucester at 66 ; Chester and Bir. k'enhead SI ; South Western 453 ; Midland Counties opened at 881, and were afterwards done at go, 903 and 91 ; North Midland Halves . were sold 10 and 193; York and North Midland at 533, and Brighton 24. Great Western old Shares were also in demand, but only one small lot was in the market, for which an advance wis asked, and we expect that in the course of the evening it will be acceded to. )RTS this year } 138557 } 206078 9966 } 372. 6678 'URAL MAR s. d. s. d.
