SEPTEMBER 18 THE DAY'S NEWS The political world remains in the same tame and uninteresting state as it has been for the last month. All parties. Whig and Tory, seem to lie upon their oars. Each is content to watch the movements of its rival, and leave the public to as brother Jonathan would say, what Ministers will pursue on the opening of The Chartist demonstration, on afforded for a time something to " guess cours Parliament Monday alk about, and in certain circles, there is an opinion that that same affair will compel whoever holds the reigns of power to look after Frost, Jones, and Company, lest they may once more cause commotion and political turmoil. If the working classes of this country suffer from any grievance, real or imaginary, they should know that their sole mean:, of redress lie in logical and coherent reasoning and reflection— not in long tirades of abuse and discursive con demnations of existing institutions. They know that, as it now stands, their order is better consti tuted, and enjoys greater civil liberty and political freedom and power than any of their Continental neighbours, infested and posted as they are by the deadly influences of secret cabals and political societies, which dare not show themselves openly, or face the light of day. We hold that the true course of liberty does not itinerate or meander through the provincial towns of our kingdom, seeking the remotest villages, where poverty. smitten labourers congregate, and hiding itself as far as it possibly can from the first and most im portant objects it should have in view; it runs straight at the abuse to be destroyed—goes up boldly to the oppression it would strangle ; it countenances no secret oaths silently breathed in lonely and loathsome cellars, from which they never can travel to the ears of upright men ; its path is smoothed by words, tolerant, yet stong powerful, and cogent. Whilst this Chartist agitation has been com menced, we perceive that two other social move ments begin to be pressed on public attention— the objects of the Sunday League, and open air preaching on the Sabbath. With regard to the former, the columns of the NORTHERN TIMES have contained sufficient evidence of our views thereon, and we now say that we cannot see anything detrimental to religion by the opening up for public inspection all our national depositories of antiquity, and the store-rooms of those curious but interesting specimens which appertain to the past and present relics of this lower world. By doing so, we teach - mankind what he is, and what he will be. - We infuse into him a spirit of veneration, for the great "I AM"—Yes, Museums an 2. - Botanic Gardens—the sweet notes of the - v e r y Lark who carols its Sabbath chaunt 1- 2,;tilway to heaven teach lessons more effective, because they are the voice of nature, than the metaphysical disquisitions, or the theological torturings of fanatical divines. The Sunday League aims at man's regeneration through legiti mate means. It repudiates Sabbath desecration . It advocates rational recreation, and enjoins temperance and decorum. Such a society cannot, therefore, harm any one, and must ultimately prove a regenerator of the hard-working portion of the ecantry. London is somewhat agitated by the action of Sir Benjamin Hall, who has put a stop to preach ing in the parks on Sunday. To be consistent, Sir Benjamin had no other course left open to him. If he stopped the bands, why not stop the still more unharmonious and clamorous noise of rival spouters, in controverted theology ? If our estab lished clergy did their duty faithfully, and were instant in season and out of season, visited the sick and afflicted, and watched, with zeal, every opportunity of promoting God's glory in their several parishes or districts, there would be little need to go and parade the parks, and har angue the multitude in the mysterious doctrine of religion. Sir Benjamin Hall has acted right, and it is because he wishes not to favour one sect more than another, that the " surpliced Divines" of this country desire to raise a hue and cry against him. Other matters of domestic interest occur. We seem not to tire in feasting and feating our Crimean heroes. Plymouth has had a grand banquet for the occasion. Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dublin follow. With respect to the Plymouth affair, the details will be found in another column. The Dublin banquet promises to be an imposing demonstration. Those wiseacres, the West Derby Guardians, have had another meeting, and another exhibition of their disgraceful mode of conducting the public affairs confided to their care. Yesterday, it seemed that Mr. Shaw was disposed to resort to practices consonant only to those gentle►nen who are termed members of the "pugilistic ring." We have already exhorted these self-same Guardians to act as gen tlemen—discharge their duties as business men, and refrain from the petty bickerings which every week stain and tarnish their characters as Guar dians of the Poor. The Poor-law Commissioners should call the refractory members to order. We believe that they possess the power, if they will only use it. Our Continental advices are varied. The coro nation of the Emperor Alexander, Czar of Russia, having passed away, we begin to look nearer home for intelligence of moment, but are doomed to disappointment. His Imperial Highness of Russia has promulgated a ukase, which enacts, that such Poles as are sufficiently prepared by the study of the Russian language and institutions, may be admitted into the different branches of civil administration of Russia. This measure is to have a reciprocal effect, and Russians are eligible to all situations in Poland. Our Paris correspondent's letter informs us that there is little or nothing stirring in the French capital. There seems to be a conviction in the mind of the public that the Emperor is desirous that France and England should act together in Spain. This states of affairs will be difficult to arrive at; taking into consideration the constitutional sympathy of England, and the present tendencies of the Spanish Government, which, it is believed, derives its inspirations from France. It would appear that the attitude of England, in regard to the affair at the Isle of Serpents, has not given that satisfaction to France which could be desired. Some of the French journals have been carping at the language used by the English papers in comment• ing upon the proceedings of the Russian authorities at this particular spot, and, as our correspondent states, the semi-official organ of the French Government, contains an article written in favour of Russia, and making excuses for that power, in such a strain as to be rather remarkable. This said semi-official journal of Napoleon inflicts upon its readers an article which might have been penned in St. Petersburg, so extravagantly does the writer indulge in a panegyric of our late enemies. The subscriptions towards M. Manin's " Hundred Guns" scheme come in but slowly, and the Debats insinuates that the Emperor's motive in autho• rising the subscription is, to let the world see how miserably small a sum France will subscribe for such a purpose. From Italy we learn by advices from Turin, that the position of Lombardy becomes every day more critical. The Municipality of Milan is said to have presented an address to Cavaliere Burger on the state of the finances of their town, though they have not thought well to publish it, as the Provin cial Congregation did theirs; but there are proofs of a courageous resolution throughout the country, and a firm deBire to bring things to a termination, that seem to forebode a coming struggle. It would appear that the Government of Vienna has aban doned all hope of bringing the Lombard provinces back to their normal state, and has decided on ac cepting all the consequences of a policy of oppression limit, and of overcoming all opposition by armed force, and destroying the patriotism of the people by violent spoliation. The example of Brescia will be followed in other provinces. The protests will probably assume different forms, and may possibly become public demonstrations. The Austrian Government prepares to stifle such ex. pressions of remonstrance with martial law, and in all likelihood there will be horrible scenes of vendetta on one side, and of patriotic dourago and unconquerable perseverance on the other, until the populations will be roused to a resistance, which to them will appear a just and sacred cause And then—? At Genoa the King had signed the amnesty which had been granted to the ten leaders of the revolutionary movement in 1849. King Ferdinand, of Naples, is busily engaged in fortifying his king dom. A letter from Naples speaks of the unusually military aspect of the place. Every point is alive with troops. It is stated that Bomba can concen trate 50,000 troops in the capital without leaving Capua or Gaetil unprotected. A letter from Rome hints that, instead of the number of French soldiers being diminished, it is more than probable that they will be slightly augmented. without THE COLTRT nAtMORAL, Sept. 15.—The Queen, the Prince Consort, and the Princess Royal, attended Divine, Service at the parish church of Crathie yesterday. In attendance were the Marchioness of Ely. the Hon. Mary Seymour, Major general the lion. C. Grey, and Colonel the Hon. C. Phipps THE OETHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. THE FRENCH COURT 13/Annul, Sept. 13.—Yesterday, Prince Adalbert, with his young and graceful bride, the Infanta Amelia, came to dine with their Majesties. After dinner there was a ball, to which a few persons moving in society at Bayonne and BiaiTiti were invited. Their royal highnessess left to day for Paris, much affected by the reception given them by their Majesties and the people. THE CHILIAN ADMIRAL.—Senor Don Carlos Wuillamo, the Admiral of Chili, arrived here a day or two since,'and on Tuesday, along with the Spanish interpretor, Don Francisco Tomaso, visited Georg.A Hall, the Town-Hall, the docks, and other places, and expressed much satisfac tion at all h' saw.

CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the coroner held the following inquests:—On the body of James Sweeny, who died under the circumstances already published in our paper. Mr. Brown, surgeon, who made a poet mortem examination of the body, stated that death was the result of apoplexy from natural causes; verdict accordingly.-- On the body of a child named Dixon, that died in the workhouse, in consequence of injuries received by its clothes having caught fire ; verdict, " Accidental death." —On the body of a child named Thompson, aged three weeks, that was accidentally smothered in bed; verdict accordingly. MITSIOA L ENTERTAINMENTS FOR THE MILLION.—We understand that negotiations are now in progress, for the purpose of giving a series of rnonstra Saturday Evening Con certs in St. George's Hall. A number of our local musical celebrities are already engaged, and occasionally the highest talent from London and the provinces will be secured, so as to render the Concerts in question of a first rate, class, whilst the proposed rates of admission will allow the million to be constant visitors thereat. The gentleman under whose direction these Concerts are likely to take place, some few years since was favourably known as the manager of popu lar Concerts in London. BAZAAR AT BIRKENHEAD.—The arrangements for the bazaar at Birkenhead, in connection with Victoria-street schools (attached to the Rev. Mr. Mann's Hamilton square chapel), are fast progressing, and the display pro mises to be exceedingly varied and tasteful. The Town-hall will be decorated after a novel and graceful fashion, while the stalls, to judge from present preparations, will be crowded with articles both of an ornamental and useful character, including some splendid specimens in Berlin wool and other fancy work, together with an endless variety of articles for the toilet and drawing-room. There will also be displayed a large quantity of children's clothing. The names of the ladies who will receive contributions, are advertised in another column. A MAN KILLED IN A STONE QUAIZRY.—On Tuesday. Mr. M. Myres, Coroner, held an inquest at Parbold, near Burscough, on the body of a quarryman. named Daniel Forshaw, who was killed on the Friday previous. The deceased and four other men were employed in blasting at the stone quarry belonging to Mr. Peter Barton, of Parbold. The situation of the stone they were engaged with being rather perilous, it was deemed advisable to put two men to watch. while the others bored the neces sary holes for blasting. The men had blasted five times, but, while they were preparing for the sixth blast, the stone, weighing several tons, fell upon the deceased, and almost crushed him to pieces, and severely injured the shoulder of another workman. There was no other means of bringing down the stone than by blasting, and this process had been done in the usual manner. The deceased was 23 years of age. Verdict "Accidental Death." ARRIVAL OF THE S.S. EDINBURGH.—The S.S. Edinburgh, William Cumming, commander, arrived at Greenock on Monday from New York at 2.30 p.m., having accom plished the run in twelve days eighteen hours. She brings a large number of passengers and a full general cargo. A'CSTRIA.-A letter from Vienna, of the 9th, says:— " The Count and Countess de Chambord left this day for Ebenzewier, where the Archduke Maximilian d'Este preceded them yesterday, in order to prepare everything for their reception. The Archduchess Elizabeth, sister of the Duchess de Brabant, is expected there on the 20th of this month. The Duke and Duchess of Modena are also to go there about the same time to pass part of the autumn on famille" A PANIC IN TUSCANY.—To show what a state of trepi dation pervades the minds of the Tuscan Ministry, we quote the following anecdote :—A few days ago, the Minis ter of the Interior was thrown into the greatest alarm by the hasty arrival of an agent of police from the " Porto al Prato," announcing the terrible fact that there was a tra veller at the gate bearing the name of Cavour, who de manded admittance. The Minister Landucci summoned his assistants to his aid, and, after taking3counsel with them, it was discovered that the dreaded traveller was a young man of 22, who was travelling for his amusement, and who happened to be the nephew of that unbridled demagogue the Prime Minister of the King of Sardinia. THE CORN TRADE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN AND BLACK SEAS.—The Courrier de Marseille, of the 12th, says :—Our supply of corn is rapidly increasing. Since the beginning of the present month, 187 vessels have arrived from dif ferent quarters, adding about 600,000 hectolitres to our previous stock. The ports in the Sea of Azoff continue to send the largest quantity. In the above arrivals they stand for 49 vessels and 211,000 hectolitres. From Odessa, 24 cargoes, consisting of 99,530 hectolitres of Polish corn have been received. The Danube and the Turkish ports have furnished 24 vessels and 10°,000 hectolitres. Only 2 vessels, with 8,000 hectolitres, have come from Alexandria. Algeria has only supplied 2,450 hectolitres, and 6,200 hec tolitres from other ports of the Mediterranean. Seven vessels have arrived from Naples with 20,814 hectolitres. The arrivals of maize have also been considerable. Con stantinople, Galatz, and Ibrail, have furnishel us with 52,000 hectolitres, and 81,000 hectolitres of barley and oats have come from the Black Sea. THE BRITISH BANK. —The rumours with regard to the statement of the assets and liabilities to be presented on Saturday to the shareholders of the Royal British Bank do not encourage the slightest hope of a result less disas trous than has hitherto been anticipated. It is asserted that the delinquencies which have ended in the ruin of the bank dated almost from its commencement ; and that if the provisions of the charter, requiring its dissolution upon one-fourth of the capital being lost, had been treated as worthy of the smallest attention, the concern would scarcely have passed into a second year of existence. The worst part of the affair will, it is feared, prove to consist of a series of acts such as no persons could have adopted except from a studied determination to make the bank the scapeooat oftheir own speculations and necessities. Thus, the advances to individual directors, as well as to the general manager, and the securities taken against them, are said to be of a nature and to have been carried on for periods which can leave no doubt as to the aspect of the transactions. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY EVENING A firmer feeling has characterised the Cotton Market to-day The demand was not only more active, but rather general. Prices, also, were somewhat stiffer than in the early part of the week. The transactions were estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The imports are of a limited character, so that we are encroaching upon the stock on hand. The Liyernool Share Market to-day ryas better, and a further improvement wag established in the price of the leading lines. Sales were made in Eastern Counties at 04-; Lancashire and York shire Stock, :901 ; London and North Western Stock, 103 ; Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 324 4. South Eastern and Dover, 214.

Among the sales at that market to-day were—Leeds Stock, 961, Midlands, 781. Dovers, 21 7.16. Sheflields, 32,1, 1. Do. 31 per Cents, Pref., 681. The latest rates read thus !—Leeds, 061, Midlands, 78, Sheffields, 32 , a, 4, 11. East Lancashire, Grp: at Westerns, 64. The London Money Market exhibits no new or marked feature. A pretty active enquiry prevails, and the rates of banking accommodation con tinue without change. An improved feeling is anticipated as soon as the instalment on the new loan is paid up on Thursday next, as there will then be no further special demand of the kind in prospect whilst the quarterly dividend period is approaching. These considerations have no doubt had an improved effect, which has manifested itself upon the market for public securities. To day Consols opened firm at 94 for money, receded to 931,, and afterwards realised 941. For the account, sales were effected at first at 941 and 941, but subsequently they jumped up to 941. The dealings in the New Three per Cents were marked at 94, 931, 941. The closing prices were 941 041 for money and account. Exchange Bills were steady at 13s to 16s premium. Our report from the London Stock Exchange informs us that to-clay the Railway Share Market was steady, and the rates of all the leading lines had remained firm. The sales include Caledonians, 521, 1; Eastern Counties, 81; Great Western, 631, 4 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 961, -I, µ ; Leeds Northern, 171 ; London and North Western, 1021, 1.03; Midland Stock, 781, ; South Eastern and Dover, 711, ; York and North Midland, 571. The closing prices were as follows :—Caledonian, 521 3. Eastern Counties, 8 1516, 9. East I ancashire, 80 81. Great Northern, 94 41. Ditto A, 821 31. Great Western, 64 2.

South Eastern and Dover, 72 York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 801 811. York and North Midland, 561 571. The general Produce Markets are steady. Sugar, both here and in London, finds ready buyers, and prices are rather in favour of sellers. The London Coffee sales proceed satisfactorily, but Tea is without change. We are sorry to announce the stoppage of Mr. J. Shawcross, of Manchester, cotton spinner and manu facturer, as well as commission agent. The failure has arisen, we understand, from the unprofitable nature of the coarse spinning and weaving trade for years past, which has absorbed more than the profit made in the other department of the busi ness. The liabilities are between 20,0001 and 30,0001. A meeting of creditors will take place on Friday. Mr. Shawcross has been long known and respected on 'Change, and the announcement of his failure is accompanied with a general feeling of regret and sympathy. _ _ It is proposed to alter the present Exchange market days, at Manchester, from Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, to Tuesday and Friday only. For some time past this sub ject has been a good deal canvassed on 'Change, and it is now proposed to ascertain to what extent the trade is in favour of the proposed alteration, before further proceedings are taken. At a meeting of the Shareholders of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, held to-day in the Lon don Tavern, F. Baring, Esq., M.P., in the chair, a full and detailed report was read by Sir C. P. Roney, the secretary. Mr. Clark moved the appointment of a committee of enquiry, and the adjournment of the meeting to a future day, but as the President and Vico-President from Canada were present to afford every information, the motion was waved. After various explanatory statements had been listened to, the question of adjournment was revived, but was lost on a show of hands. The representatives of the company from Canada gave a satisfactory account of the future prospects of the undertaking: It was stated that the bridge over . the St. Lawrence would be completed in 1860. The report was ultimately adopted. The commercial report of the French markets state that the retail trade of Paris has been con fined to the immediate wants of consumers ; and that the manufacturers of winter goods are becom ing busier. Purchases for exportation have been limited, as well as provincial orders ; excepting in some special branches of trade, which require their commissions a month or two in advance. The speculations in silks, which has had the effect of raising the prices of the raw material, continue to command the attention of the Lyons manufacturers. A rumour having been spread that the Credit Mobilier Bank had entered into it, the directors of that institution have denied that statement. Mean while the manufacturers have disposed of nearly all their stocks on hand, and have been obliged to refuse numerous orders in oonocquence of the high prices of our raw material. Some mention is made of opening shortly at Lyons an immense establishment, for the sale of silks chiefly, in one of the principal streets, which will rival the warehouses in the Louvre at Paris. The news from the other manufacturing departments contain nothing of importance. The manufacturers of cotton and woollen goods complain, likewise, of the dearness of raw material, so that they are obliged to raise their prices as well as the silk manufacturers. TETE AGAPEMONE AGAlN.—Another suicide at the Agapemone is reported. It is stated, in the Taunton. Courier, that a young lady left that establishment "for the purpose of being confined" last week ; that she was confined on Sunday ; and that on the following day she hung herself. —Morning Advertiser. An Irishwoman, on leaving Dublin for Liverpool on Saturday, entered a wrong steamer, and instead of being landed at the latter port, found herself in Fleetwood on Monday. She left Fleetwood by rail for Liverpool, and on passing through the station in this town experienced some difficulty in getting a ticket for the remainder of her journey. She conceived herself ill-used, and became so excited that she threatened to throw herself on the rails, and would actually have done so had it not been for the interference of the railway officials. The incident caused a great sensation among the crowd of people who were on the platform.— Preston Chron'cle.

The only correct likeness of this criminal i s to be seen at the above exhibition, and is placed by the side of Palmer.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING, The Constitutionnel of to-day publishes an article, in which it excuses the Russians, on various grounds, for the manner in which they have acted with respect to the Isle of Serpents, and blames the " fuss" that has been made about the affair by "foreign papers," meaning those of England. In the semi—official organ of the French Government, an article written in this strain is remarkable. Two directors of the Credit Mohilier Company left Paris this morning for St. Petersburg, to treat with the Russian Government for the con cession of railways in Russia. It is said that that Government has guaranteed five per cent interest on the capital expended in the execution of the lines to be conceded. A Legitimist paper of Orleans, called the Moniteur du Loirel, was suspended by order of the Govern ment a short time back. The proprietor imme diately started a new paper, called the Memorial du Loirel, but that also has been suspended, In consequence of the recent disturbances in the canton of Neufchatel, the payment of bills of exchange, falling due within the first three weeks of September, has been postponed for ten days. A Madrid despatch says that the Russian Count, Benkendorff, was expected in that city, to an nounce the accession of the Czar to the Queen. This was considered preliminary to the re-esta blishment of diplomatic relations between Spain and Russia. We learn from Constantinople, via Vienna, that the Turkish Government has given up its projected expedition against Montenegro. M. de Hubner, the Austrian Minister at Paris, has arrived at Naples, to, as is believed, repre- sent to the King the folly of his conduct. His Majesty had concentrated a large body of troops in the vicinity of Naples. INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING, The Peninsular and Oriental mail steam-shin Pera has just arrived. She brings the heavy por tion of the East India and China mails, sixty-three passengers, and the largest cargo ever brought to this port. Her dates are—Alexandria, Sept. 5; Malta, Sept 9 ; and Gibraltar, Sept. 13. The news is of an unimportant character. ROYAL INVALIDS.--A letter from Berlin states that Prince Adalbert of Prussia is not yet able to walk, and on arriving at that city he had to be conveyed to his own residence in a sedan-chair After the marriage of the Grand Duke of Baden with the Princess Louisa, the Prince intends going to his palace at Erdmannsdorff, in Silesia, to remain until he shall be completely cured, SUICIDE or A SunoEov.•—On Tuesday, information was forwarded to Mr. Wakley that Mr. Samuel Holmes, aged 30, of 83, Upper Seymour-street, Somers-town, surgeon dentist, bad committed suicide by taking oxalic acid. The unfortunate man, who has lately been brought down by a reverse of tortune, was locked up the previous night for being disorderly, but was bailed out, and was ordered at the time to be at the Clerkenwell police court next day. OPEN AIR PREACHING.—On Tuesday night a meeting was held in the Freemasons'-hall, London, for the purpose of eliciting an expression of public opinion in respect of the prohibition of preaching in the public parks on the Sabbath by Sir B. Hall. There were not more than fifty persons in the body of the large room, and but three on the platform, including the chairman, the Rev. T. T. Crybbice. Resolutions in favour of preaching in the parks were passed, and one gentleman, who called himself " a materialist," claimed for himself and others the right to preach any doctrine they pleased. A memorial to Lord Palmerston was adopted. THE PAPAL SEE AND THE UNIVERSITY OF GHENT.— This seat of learning has been denounced by the Roman Catholic bishop of that town. He says :—" In this university, alongside of several men equally distinguished by science as by virtue, there are placed a few professors, whose doctrine is overtly false, bad, blasphemous, and heretical. New errors taught by other professors have compelled us to write a second time to the cures on the occurrence of Lent this year, begging them to warn such parents as might be thinking of sending their children to the University of Ghent, to point out the immense dangers which awaited them there, so long as such masters continue to teach philosophy, history, and law." THE LAND TRANSPORT CORPS.—DEPUTATION TO THE LORD MAYOR.—On Tuesday morning a deputation from the members of the Land Transport Corps waited upon the Lord Mayor by special appointment at the Mansion House, and presented an address to his Lordship, setting forth the grievances of the corps, with which the public is already familiar. After listening to the address and conversing with the deputation, his Lordship said he had no doubt that they had a fair claim upon the Government; but the only difficulty was as to the way of asserting it. He wished to repeat that, if they wanted a friend, he should be happy to intercede with Lord Palmerston in their behalf. At the same time he thought they would do well to make another appeal to Colonel M.Murdo, and the authorities at the War office. It was difficult to bring governments to book ; but in this case he was strongly of opinion that the claims of the Land Transport Corps should be recognised. The deputation, after thanking his Lordship for his courtesy, then retired. DOES IMMIGRATION ADD TO THE WEALTH OP AMERICA ? —Of all the causes or agencies which can affect the industry and production, and consequently the civilization and well being of any people, the most disastrous and destructive is that which arises from public oppression and unjust legisla tion. "It drinks up," says an eminent writer on political economy, " the spirit of a people by inflicting wrong through means of an agency which was created for the sole purpose of preventing wrong, and which was intended to be the ultimate and faithful refuge of the friendless." A notable instance of the effect of unjust measures on the part of both govern ment and people iu paralyaiug the energies and arresting the progress of a whole nation, may be found in the in tolerant and fanatical persecution of the Jews and Moors of Spain, which resulted in their expulsion of voluntary emigration from that country. These two classes com posed the bulk of the intelligent industrial population of Spain, the artificers, the mechanics, the merchants, the bankers, and a majority of the capitalists engaged in trade or commerce. The result of such impolitic measures, as was foretold at the time has been to cripple the resources of the country, convert flourishing districts into uninhabited wastes, to dry up the currents of trade, and to diminish capital ; to no other single act of policy is Spain more indebted for her present impoverished and degraded condition, than to the treatment of her Moorish and Jewish subjects in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. We find another striking instance of the effect of oppression on resources tah i ne t d i f n uw f lgei fugitives. aevdnevds very yp m To iwh o n s eef t rreer ioworfawas severe the part of the State on the people, in diminishing national production and wealth, in the expulsion of the French Huguenots from France, by . . the revocation of the Edict of Thisnh d au received e o t t c ; fe i a i w vE l . h e augmented . the capital and skill of the neighbouring nationsuNpa whennne ts the ewe peopleh e l• F rance,blow of the Low Countries, of France, and of Germany, in ven tto those t i me ous . productions of manufacturing industry. What first gave an impulse to the woollen trade, which for several centuries was the great staple of England, was the procuring foreign workmen to teach the English people their craft. The adoption of any measure by the . Government or people of the United States, which could in any degree tend to prevent, or divert the great tide of emigration of labour and capital from Europe to our shores, would only find a parallel in its disastrous effects with the i nstances above. [n the year 1849 the whole number of foreign emigrants arriving at the different ports of the United States was 296,000. If we estimate the value of labour, the skill , and the capital of each of these emigrants at only one hundred doll ars , we h ave an augmentation of the n at i onal wealth in a sin g l e y ear o f m ore than twenty-nine millions. When we reflect, however, that the great majority of these emigrants are able-bodied men and women, accustomed to hard, persevering labour —many to skilled labour—that n um b ers a l so possess , in money or implements, varying amounts of capital, the estimated value of each to the country, which we have given, will appear too inconsiderable. Estimating the value at five hundred dollars, less than halt the amount of an able-bodied negro slave, we have the enormous sum of 148,000,000 dols. added to the wealth of the United States in a single year, from foreign emigration alone. ,s~ BANQUET TO THE CRIMEAN HEROES A' PORTSMOUTH On Tuesday' the first day's proceedings in refere nce t f ), this banquet have, at least in the eyes of the inhabitano'i of P9rtsmouth, passed off with every possible am ours th e satisfaction and eclat.
