TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1835. We have been politely favoured with the following extract bf a - letter received by a mercantile house in this town from China. It is dated Canton, April 21, 1834 : " Lord Napier has not yet arrived to superintend us ; and the compaoy's charter being expired 22d April, we live now in a sort of internignum, and yet get on amazingly welt. The Chinese do not understand the matter at all. The phrase ' opening of the trade' quite puzzles them. fume think we arc going to set up an independent gnvernnint in Canton twbich, in plain English, is really the case), and some think that we are going to attack the 'celestial empire' itself by force of anus. The orders in council have been received sometime back, and have caused a good deal of speculation among us. The best info-tried look upon them as so thoroughly ridiculous that they will never be acted upon, and if you do not condemn me as rash and forward in criticising the measures of older and wiser men than myself, I think, for my part, that with the best sources of information to go to, these orders in council have been formed in the mdst complete ignorance. Why pretend to establish courts of justice, courts-martial, &c. &e. in the very dominions of an independent prince like the Emperor of China, without obtaining, without even asking his consent ? Would we, for a moment, tolerate a similar insult in Gretat Britain? • Why annoy Englishmen with such nonsense —as a foreigner might sue an Englishman bef(ire his own court, andyet would question and laugh at the authority of such a tribunal if summoned be fore it ia his, turn.? Nykily tax our sh.ipping.ard our exports this distant country, obliging us to have recourse to many shifts to avoid these duties, such as employing foreign bottoms $o take the cargo outside, &c. &c. > In short, why place us on'a worse footing than any of the other foreign nations that trade to China? These regulations will be infinitely more annoying and expen sive than the monopoly of the East India Company, 'and will cause us to regret that our government wish to protect us at all. Protection is no doubt a very good thing, but, like all good things, it is possible to pay too dear for it. The Americans have no protection, nut even a consul, and 'get on quite as well es we do. Canton, during the interregnum, is, to all intents -and purposes, a free port." We have letters and papers from Demerara to the 29th November. The colony was tranquil, but the appren tices were as idle as they are in the other settlements. The law had been carried into force against .the rioters. who were tried and convicted in the month of September. Doe man was hanged and several others transported for life. Upon the whole these papers are duller than usual, the only lively incidents being the accounts of the con flagration of the two houses of parliament. The answer of the King of the FRENCH to the menaces of General JACKSON has been as prompt and as uncom promising as we expected. The French envoy resident at Washington has been recalled, and the American am . bassador has demanded his pa4iports, and it is said has left Paris on his way to London. This certainly looks warlike, and we consequently wait•the decision of the Chamber of Deputies with some impatidnee. If the French succumb and consent to pay the money, they will cut a very miserable figure in the eyes of Eu rope and America. The sum demanded either is or is not justly due to . the-United States. If the answer be in the affirmative, and the claim is recognised, then the French Parlianieat, by so long refusing to pay it, and by paying it only to avoid a war, will appear in the cha racter of men• who •would be dishonest if they durst— would swindle their creditorslf it were safe—and would commit every act of rapacity, and every conceivable. critne if it were not from the fear of punishment. Suppose the representatives of France should, under the pretext of further investigating the claims of the United States, at length consent to pay the:money, this would not exonerate them from a charge of attempting to cheat their creditors. The money was as fairly due in 1832 as it is in 1835. They cannot shelter themselves by saying that they did not know of the existence of such, claims, for all France was conversant with the treaty of 1831, and the provisions of it• have been repeatedly brought under the consideration of the assembled depu tie/. It is true that the treaty was never formally dis• 4ulsed, although the attempt to bring on its considera *ion in the lower chamber was opposed by that body, and led to the resignation of the ministry. But this evasive manner of meeting the American claims is the most discreditable part of the proceeding. , It reflects unspeakable obloquy upon the national character of the French. That character, it. is true, has not stood re markably high since the last revolution ; but still the mode of evading the question is somewhat like the. con duct of a swindler in denying himself. to the tradesman he has cheated, or some shabby radical reformer pleading his parliamentary privilege against the payment of a just debt. Were the parliament of Great Britain principally composed 'of Such men as TOM DONCOMBE, Surgeon WAKLEY,'•Sir JOIIN KEY, DANIEL WIIITTLE HARVEY, bergeant WILDE, Colonel TORRENS, Dr. BOWRING, JOgEPFI HONE, and the nominees of the popish priests of Ireland, the same beggarly mode of fleecing the pub lic creditor, under the scoundrel's plea, .pat riotism, vvould . be resorted to in this country. However, thanks to PROVIDENCE, we have not fallen at) low yet ! Thanks to PROVIDENCE, the dregs of the people—the untransported.autl►ors of the joint-stock sys tem of plunder—the unwhitewashed traders in Greek scrip —the unhanged demagogues of Ireland, do not yet constitute, like JACK CADE's mouth, the Parliament of England ! But this by the way. We do not mean to assert that the Parliament of France has committed a breach of faith in refusing to recognise the claims of the United States. We have solelsi been arguing upon the assump tion that the chambers would consent ; to do that at the last hour, when menaced with war, which they should have done three years ago. Consent now, we have en deavoured to prove, -would be an admission of wrong— a plea of guilty when guilt could no longer be concealed— a wish to restore what they could not keep—a desire to pay in money *hat would be seized in the shape of property, and wrested from the dishonest and procrastinating debtor by' force of arms. • So far from condemning the conduct of France upon the assuniptiOn that she legally and fairly owes the mo ney which she has hitherto declined to pay, we take a very different view of the question. We do not be• lieve that France owes the United States one single shilling. We do -not believe that there are any per sons in existence ..whO, as citizens of Atnerica, have any claim, or have preferred any just claim, for losses sustained during the War. We have said before, and we repeat it here, chat we solemnly believe that all the claims ,raised by the Americans, recognised though they have been, and paid too in many instances,• have in nine cases in ten been fraudulent claims. They have had their origin in the scheming, jobbing, and corrupt departments of the American government. To higgle and overreach—to make a lie the foundation of a fortune—to bully and intercede, and flatter and fabri cate—to. produce documents manufactured for the pur ppse—to, drag in Witnesses primed to the task of swear ing anything—all this is part of the practice of a people who glory in success without having the slightest mis giving as to the means. . • But we have no 'wish 'to revive old animosities, or place the culprits upon a second trial. We hate our otvn convictions; but, putting them aside for the sake of charity, we cannot disguise the fact that we are anxious to see the pretensions of the people of the United States put to the proof in this threatened war against Franee. In the war of 1812, when the government of Englind ftingheAnte'rica With a few frigates—when not one ship of the line was engaged in the contest—when a few troops, more in,jest than ini.earnest, and treating the enemy with contempt, went up a river and burnt the capital—we signed conditions of peace which were, and ever will be, considered by the impartial historian as conditions of charity! We spared them. We could not, in the flush of,our European victories, think of . put ting an end to the republic, which we could easily have done. We were too chivalrous to fight against the very fishmongers who'carried on their trade.in our own har bours and creeks per sufferance. We should have been degraded had we turned our united arms against a peo ple whom we had .ever treated as our unfortunate off-- spring, transported froin our shores ur.der unpleasant cir cumstances; and whom we hoped to render virtuous and grateful by those encouragements which ministet'to self pride, profitable industry, and rational independence. No. Their war was to us the bark of a friend's dog. It made no impression calculated to disturb our parental feelings ; and hence the largess of our terms in the peace subsequently agreed upon. France, however, does not stand in any such near or dear relationship to the United States. We believe they trade on terms of reciprocity more approaching:to jus tice than are those which America concedes to England. France, tberefore, : is less likely to brook insult in the way we have done. She has no inducement thereto in the ties of blood; and, what is of eqtial importance, France, too selfish within her own borders, never had any liberality or.benevolence to spare for foreign nations. The question, therefore; is between the honour of France and the interests of America. Both parties are bound by certain professions. The one asserts a claim ; the other has hitherto refused to admit its justice ; and, what is worse, she cannot admit it now without confess ing that she has been unjust for the last three years, and that she is compelled by a menace of war to admit claims hitherto rejected. _Will France be guilty of such indig nity against herself? Will she be the author of so seri ous a charge against herself? Will she proclaiin; in the face of Europe, that dishonesty-was her policy, and jus tice the exceptiori to it under. eirCuurstances of dire and inevitable.necessity ? Before ihe'depUties decide, we answer for them they will not! ,They cannot accede to the demands of M r . President JAcKsos without degradation. There is then no alteinative , th..,ty must resist ! What then First as concerns . America, The go vernment of the United States imagine that France can not quarrel with them without throwing her manufac turing population into a state of coriVuhdon. In other words France cannot dispense with the supply of cotton wool from America!: Nothing-can be wore silly or falla cious. France - could have the required supply from Li verpool by means of a, simple arrangement with the Bri tish government. The charge of transit would of course be increased, but that would hardly be felt in the price . of manufactures. On the other hand the wine-growers of France would be debarred the benefit of a direct trade in the American markets. What of that? • England could supply the deficiency. Mr. JACKSON would send his frigates to prey upon the French merchantmen. He would perhaps 'drive their fishermen from the banks of our Newfoundland. But Louis PHILIPPE would recipro cate in the chops of the channel. No American would be allowed to enter the port of Liverpool. The packets, With their gaudy woods, their vulgar adornments, their ostentatious brass, paint, polish, rocking-chairs, glass rails, hickory panels, and cheap books most vilely lettered in gold—these would be stopped. Liverpool would then be able to organise a more subStantial, equally attractive, and more endurable line of vessels. The Americans would have the advantage at the outset in sailing under, the English flag. These people, who he'd us, would not hesitate to borrow our colours for the sake of safety and gain. The French, however, would soon become ac quainted with the deception. An old Liverpool piliit. would beithle to pdintout the disguised Yankee under any colour, or paint,. or mystification. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and. New Orleans, would be blOckaded. The first object of the Fiend' would be to make themselves masters of New.OrleanS, They could with the greatest ease send some twenty or thirty sail of the line to watch the southern provinces, especially those Where the popu lation is fayourable to the French. Once in possession of 'New Orleans, 'they would take care to keep it. It would be a most . convenient station during the war, and''; a valuable colony to France under any circumstances. The President boasts of his warlike marine, and hints .tbarthe high seas must be the place where the battle is to be fought. This is all swagger, and the General knoWs it. The Americans are unable to cope with the fleets of France. They could not, before the next six months, have more than seven ships of the line ready fur sea. We venture to predict that they will not at tempt to combat any French fleet. Their policy will be to capture merchantmen, interrupt the French West India trade, confiscate . French property wherever found, and carry Qn a system of plunder in every direction. In this sort of. warfare the citizens will most probably be eminently successful. Private fortunes will be'realised, and individuals will be ruined ; but, while. one section 'the republic will suffer little or no injury, another sec tion will be placed at the mercy of the French. We are here endeavouring to distinguish between the southern, and the northern states. The latter are anxious to advance their infant manufactures. The war would do much to accelerate the accomplishment of their 1 wishes. The blockade of New York would exclude the manufactures of other countries. The iron smelter would once more light his furnaces. 'The clothier, the weaver, the hosier., the tinman, and other artisans, would work double tides and earn increased profits. In fact, the people of New England are in favour of the war, simply because they consider that it would conduce to their local interests. • The southern states are differently situated. They are the growers ofa-cotton and tobacco, and they are depen dant upon England and France as the purchasers of these Staple articles. The war, then, would be a war of grievous injury, if not of irretrievable ruin to them. At the outset they would lose the carrying trade. The gilded and glaring packets would be shut up and left to rot in the harbours of New York, Boston, and PrrilAelphia. They . would also Jose the emigration. tri4e: They might rim cargoes of cOttoti under the British colours; 'they might carry on a sort of smuggling trade by hauling down the " striped bunting" and hoisting the proud union-jack of old England; but, even under the most favourable circumstances this would be but a limited and precarious kind of adventure. • We have said that the French have gone too far to re trace their steps. They cannot pay under the terror of a threat without dishonour and disgrace. But we say the same with respect to the. Americans. They must now enforce their demands or confess their weakness. They must fight or admit that their chief magistrate was rash as well as impotent. They must appeal to arms or tell the world that they were only in jest when they me naced the people of 4ance, and that . the President's message meant one thing And said another-- , .dealt only in bluster instead of earnest and unequivocal intentions of hostility. • There is another version of ,the story. Some gentle men who pretend to superior information, assert that this question of war has originated with the-President, and the President alone. They say that he drew the bill upon, the government of France, well knowing that it would be dishonoured—well knowing that no funds bad been voted to meet it=well knowing that it could not, would not, and never was intended, to be paid until the Chambers had'agreed to the treaty and provided the ways and means, These gentlemen indignantly condemn the conduct of General JACKSON, in thus unnecessarily and vindictively dragging his country into hostilities with the most powerful nation in Europe, and they as sert that it has been done to punish the merchants and agriculturrsts of the United States, between whom and him there is deadly enmity. Mr. President JACK. ON, they say, is utterly incompetent to govern the republic. .He knOws, they say, that his fall is near at hand, that the respectable citizens view ail his measures with disap probation and disgust; and that conscious of the per vadingfeeling, the President is resolved to die like SAmP ,sox, by pulling dowa the pillars of the. republican temple, and j periShing in the ruins. In short, they represent that the illustrious hera of s t ew Orleans is determined to let loose the whirlwind, to raise a commotion on the waters, to let the Atlantic hear the roar of his steam thunder, to die hard, and diegame. All this may be true. It savours of the character of the man—blighted ambition being the moving cause, obstinacy the resisting linedi um, ignorance the propelling force towards destruction. But with all this we have no thing to do. If the citiz e ns of America choose to throw Mr. President JACKSON overboard, in order to make terms with France, that is their concern, not ours. We must judge of the motives of public men by their acts. We have.no right to assign motives for which we see no proof. Both parties are now compromised. America has threatened—France defies—the gauntlet thrown down in surly anger has been taken up in cold hauteur, and both parties must settle their differences in the best way they can. We stand at a respectful distance and look on. Courage! mon anzi Louis PHILIPPE?—fight brother Jonathan ! The elections in Scotland are, as we expected, against us generally. Edinburgh has returned two whigs; one of them a sinecurist ; so much the worse for the trade, the colleges, and the schools bf Edinburgh. Glasgow has e turned two destructives. Paisley sends another. Sir GEORGE MURRAY is beaten in Perthshire; and Dr. BOIVRING, the poet, and the cad of the late cabinet, has been returned by the glassblowers of Dumbarton and the nightcap-weavers of Kilmarnock. The national charac ter has bee*n utterly disgraced by this last return. What can the electors of Dumbarton or Kilmarnock know of Dr. BOWRING ? Just as much as they do of the bards of yagliar On. the other side, Mr. FORBES, of Calender, has beaten the whig Admiral FLEMING, in Sterlingshire, and in gallant style too. Sir GEORGE CLERK has worsted, iu the county of Edinburgh, the son of Sir JAMES GIII• SON CRAIG, who has for years played the part of lackey to the whig attorneys of Edinburgh. And last, not least, Mr. PRI N GLE, of Whytbatik, a - conservative, has beaten. a radieat whig of the same name in Selkirk. This idsocw woull . ,consolation to set .-against-the eomfiture in other places. We in England care nothing for it. On the contrary, we rejoice . to see Scbtland.so wmpletely in the despotic hands of whips and radicals, becaUSe we know that after going thrOtigh the urdeal . of pollution, the moral sense of the country will revolt at the deep debasement into • which it has plunged, and willi; after the natural ferment -has subsided, return to a pniper sense of .duty, under the Pro . mptings of pride, dignity, and intelligence. Scotland is as yet only in the • infancy of .her popular institutions. The whole power is in the hands of the shopocracy and the middle classes. The drain shops rule the roast. Property is not represented—intellect is despised—her colleges have no voice in the national assembly. This is not as it should be. The reform bill was intended to give to property its legitimate influ ence—to industry its fair share—to numbers their due weight in the scale of election. But it has done iio such thing. The intelligence and industry of the coon try are not represented at all in the reformed parliament. The ten-pound franchise gives to every man who rents a house in the metropolis, be he chimney-sweep or be he Pickpocket, a vote for the representatives. But this is not the case in Scotland. The working man has no voice—the honest mechanic is excluded. The journey man cannot aid his master—the labourer cannot recipro cate with hiaemployer. The 'Voice of Scotland is that of the needy, the debauched, and the unprincipled keepers of pothouses, low taverns, and other places still more disreputble. We Lope to see this corrected before long, and in sufficient time to meet the natural reaction which is sure to take place. But the place which has disgraced itself beyond_ al. others north of the Tweed is Glasgow. Edinburgh has always, been ❑otorious for its radicalism and its revolu tionary politics. But in Glasgow, where all the leading merchants and manufacturers are conservativpswhe re its-very trade depends upon the ascendancy of conserva tive principles—to see this noble . and beautiful town in the hands AA' destructives is enough to make a man for swear his country. It is most disgraceful. Mr. EWING, aventleman of unblemished honour, of rare.talents, amt of /Moderate principles—.a gentlenian whose charity is unbounded, whose love of country is his ruling passion, whOse good works are known to all his fellow-citizens — drat he,: of all men, should be discarded by the electors ei Glasgow is the foulest reproach that ever fell upon the city of ,the west. Mr. EWING states, in his address, that he would have been returned if he had only pledged him self to ; oppose his Majesty's present ministers. Who were the dastardly and reckless demagogues who pro posed such an act of baseness and subserviency ? We should like to see their names at full length in the columns of the Glasgow Courier. They deserve immor tal infamy. They who offered such an insult to a man who had served them faithfully- 7 -to a man of honour—to one who has a character to loose, must be the most worth less of narrow-minded partisans. Mr. EWING ►ery pro perly and indignantly rcfuced to give any pledge, most of all that pledge which would have covered him with lasting ignominy. He went to the poll with his hands clean and his heart pure, resolved to do his duty honestly and fearlessly, but he was rejected. The electors of Glasgow Were determined to have slaves, and none but slave:4, as their representatives. They have got their, and we wish them joy. This lesson, however, to the conservatives of GlaSgow, Will do good. They have too long played a double part. They have too long courted the opp os i t e f act i on. Th ey have professed liberalism till It has recoiled upon them, and they are piostrated in the kennel before it. They must now turn over a new leaf, and act a - more inde pendent part. The straightforward courts is always the best, and it is the most honourable. Milk and water may du fur a time, but it will not "du long. The hot-and cold system is a failure. The English elections prove this. We hardly know an instance where a tory has fearlessly spoken out in which he has not. been suc cessful. Those who have trimmed and shuffled, and have taken a middle course, evincing their adhe:•ence to no fixed principles, have generally been despised and 'rejected.' ..

These are - not times to look one way and row another. The principles of con servatism are inherent inthe national character; but they must not be watered down to what is called moderate whiggism, which is only another. term for deceit and fraud. We have no fears that Scotland will not yet re deem itself, but it will take some time, and it must be the result of renewed energy and 'more perfect combina- We regret the discomfiture only on private groUnds. There is nothing to fear on the score of prin ciple. England will supply men to fill the" places which ought to have been filled by Sir GEORGE MURRAY, Lord RAMSAY, and Mr. EWING. As to Ireland, the reaction has been to an extent be yond our most sanguine expe'etations. O'CONNELL and RUTHVEN have been returned, the neWspapers say, by a majority of about two hundred. This. return we have every reason to believe will be set aside. The grossest perjury, and that to a frightful extent, has been commit. ted in fatrour of the agitators. No less than from three to four hundred bad votes have been tendered and re ceived on their side. All these•will be cut ant, and the two conservatives declared the sitting members. O'CON NELL knows this, and in order to avoid the consequences, he has, although nominally returned for Duldin,declaced himself a candidate for Westmeath. Cork has returned two conservatives. In short, the state of the elections in Ireland is most gratifying. We refer the reader to an analysis which will be found in another place, and may be depended upon. The Manchester papers contain a mournful address, replete with tears, consequent on the loss of office and the disappointment of hopes, delivered by Colonel TOR RENS to the electors of Bolton, who have discarded him at the present " alarming crisis.' The weeping colonel says : " If the gentleman who had succeeded in removing hitn from the _representation of Bolton could argue die great commercial monetargluestions in a more sat isfaclorg manner than: him self, he, in conjunction with th e e l ec t ors o f Button,ntit4d re joice in being satisfied. Although out of parliament, he.attonid not he idle ; he should be studiously endeavouring during his retirment to advance British interests, to extend British civi lization, British liberty, and British religion to those climes where the sound of.a church-going bell was never heard: lie should he rocking the infant cradle y . great empires, and extend ing civilization to an infinity that would make him participate in the joy of God in seeing a happy world." (Cheers..) . The above is very poetic and very affecting. Of course no one can argue the "great commercial and monetary questions" like. Colonel Toanv,Ns, but that, unhappily, is one of the reasons why the electors rejected him. The colonel is by far too learned in the mysteries of political economy for people of ordinary intellect to comprehend hint. The wise shake their beads at his rhapsodies, and the foolish laugh, while between both the colonel is un horsed. It is certainly peat kindness on the part of the late member for Bolton to take the world under his charge in the mariner he professes to do, without fee, reward, or the hope of preferment. But what does he mean by rocking the infant cradle of great empires ?" Rocking the cradle is a very gentle employment, but any old wo man can do that, butter toast, and sing " Alice Grey," at the same time; with this difference, that she rocks in fants, not empires. The poor colonel, we suspect, is not quite right in the upper story. The loss of his election has thriven him crazy; and we would advise him to pour .4is regrets into the ear of Colonel WILLIAMS, who, in this cold weather, must require all the fraternity and con solation which one sufferer can bestow upon another. We do not see the Globe newspaper, but we hope it has ap peared in a proper suit of weeds. We pity the colonel The nomination for the southern division of this county took place on Saturday last. A full report of the proceedings will be found in another place. It will be seen that the show of Lands was decidedly in favour of Lord FRANCIS EGERTON and the Hon. Mr. WILBRAHAM. . . But we are . most of all anxious that the speeches 'of Mr. WOOD and Lord MOLYNEUX should be placed in contrast with the animated address, the noble sentiments, tiao indop4m4ieswanti-vonoetvalive-eono-of Lord FRANOIO EGERTON. Lancashire will do itself immortal honour by returning such a candidate to Parliament—a gentle- Man whose interest is interwoven witlithat of every elec tor—one whose high attainments are creditable to him self, and rould reflect merit upon the county—who has . the energy to make his opinions respected, and the power to command respect for the wishes and wants of the humblest elector. What has Lord MOLYNEUX done for the county ? He has had a seat and sometimes a sleeping bench in the House of Commons; but will any man say that he has attended to our local interests, advocated any measure of sound policy, or given a vote on any subject, the whole ..bearings and effect of which he is competent to under stand ? If there were no other objections to Lord Mo -I,yNEuX we should say that he is unqualified to represent so important a section of Lancashire on the ground of ignorance, and a total blindness as to its wants, its rights, and its interests. If the house of SEFTON are to be per mitted to nominate members for, the county, and such members as the noble lord in question, that is a question to be decided by the electors. If the county be desirous of occupying that station in parliamenA to which they are entitled they must commit their trust to better hands. AS for Mr. GEORGE WILLIAM WOOD we have only to say, that if there be any English spirit, any truly reli gious spirit left- in the elective body, they will cashier him on the ground that he is a wild infidel, the enemy of th e established church, and ttNally unfit to represent the opinions of those who love their King, the church, and the constitution of England. Manchester, such was the fairness and the liberality of the authors of the reform bill, is allowed to return three members to parliament, w hile Liverpool returns only two ; but if Mr. WOOD is t again returned, will it not be open to the charge, that Manchester returns four members? This must not be endured, and we feel perfectly confident that it. will not be endured if the electors do their duty. To-day the contest begins—to-morrow it must end— eVery man, therefore, who has a vote, and who has a stake in the country, whether it rest on . preperty acquired b‘oltherit "ance or derived ,from industry, is bound to hasten to the pill in surport of Lord FRANCIS EGERTON and Afr..WIL BRAHAAL In the latter candidate they have an honour able, amiable, and conscientious conservative—one who cherishes the noblest sentiments—who is the friend of the poor and the advocate of British interestsone who is desirous to cement the connexion between the farmer and the artizan by promoting the prosperity of both. LONDON LATEST NEWS. City, Saturday Evening, half-pall Sejen o'clock. The political Joseph, who, rather than endure the Potiphar embraces of place or• profit, would (according to his own story) prefer to leave the tail of his coat behind him, has again, by aid of the Tower Hamlets, contrived to scramble into parliament as r 4 re , .enta:ive (God save the mark I) of the county of Middle sex ! Referring to the minute record of the votes polled it will be found that the Tower Hamlets' constituency (freeholders of Middlesex) have furnished Mr. Hume with his majority, con ceiving, wilt great consistency of character, that the ex-holder of Greek scrip is fitted and worthy to sit in the Commons' House, cheek by jowl, with that eminent ecclesiastical functionary Dr. Isushington. There is no accounting for the tastes of some per ' sons, and we might as well look for the return of a member of the Temperance Society to represem. a bacchanalian constitu ency, as to expect that the "gentlemen electors" of tho dingy district of Tosver Hamlets would consider any one as a suitable representative of them, who did nut, like them, possess a perfect knowledge of the vulgar tongue, unalloyed by any of the refine• went of good manners, and unradicaled by any association wi:h good society. Joseph, however, does not appear, by any means, to enjoy his triumph, for which several reasons can be adduced. First, th4ontest is supposed to have cost him upwards of four pounds four shillings and Nurpence out of his own actual funds, which has already led to the discharge of a diminutive cook, whose yearly stipend exceeded that sum by sixteen 6161- hogs; secondly, the honourable (by courtesy) gentleman has polled a th:usand vbtes less than he (lid last election; and, thirdly,..as the electors expect that the worthy member will, when another shall arise, bear all his expenses, Mr. Joseph Huote considers himself only tenaporary representative of the county. These are the damps upon the triumph of the some tune patriotic friend of Greece, wim, since his return, has done little else than illustrate with a strunz uotthern accent the cele brated exclamation of Phyrrui—" Sach auother 'victory and I Hun undone," Our money market has been rather flat since our last, but without any material change in value. The current quotation of the Consols for Account has been 9li 92, and the closing price this afternoon was 91i 92. Exchequer Bills remain at 41 to 43 prem., and India BOnds arc looking up, being now 22 to 23 prem. • All our Foreign Bonds. are firm, particularly the Northern Bonds, Russian being at 107,1.1081 ; Belgian at 991, and Dutch 5 per cent. at 100 i to 101 h. There has been great speculation in the Spanish Bonds during the week, and they have been as . high as 56,1, but closed at 561. Portuguese Bonds have .been 881, and closed at SS f. There has been considerable buoyancy in the Brazilian Bonds, and they have risen to 81 I. Columbian Bonds are also better, being at 321 33, and Chiliau are 34 to 35. The new Spanish loan, it is expected, will be brought out on Wednesday next at 60. Applications have been received by Messrs. Ricardo and Co. both yesterday and to-day. It) our Share Market the only change has been in the lituperialßritzilian Mine Shares, which have risen to 39 10 to 40 10. By accounts from Panama we learn 'that the Congress had passed a law reducing the duty on flour to 3 dollars per barrel, and that on onions, garlic, and minestros to 1 3, being one fourth less than the rate of duly heretofore levied. An im portant alteration had also been made in the tonnage duty, which, on English and American vessels, was fixed at 4 seals per ton, which on vessels bearing the flag of other nations it was one dollar per ton. It was also ordered that whale ships may enter the ports of the Republic without paying any port charges. This law went into operation on the Ist of August last. The markets were one and all completely glutted in the foreign 'dry goods of every description, and trade was entirely stagtiant. The general idea here is that there %ILL a war between France and the United States. The American ambassador has received his passport at Paris, and, we believe, is now in England, andthe French ambassad r at 'Washington has been recalled by the French government. We find by. our New York letters to-day, reaching to the 20th ult., that the French ambassador had refused. to attend as one of the party at the President's dinner, and everything appears to portend an open and direct collision.

EDITOR OF hilt: LIVERPOOL ST,IND.IRD. beg to annex you an extract from a letter received by and by the last Jamaica packet, under date thd'3oth of November.. I do not intend it as a matter of party politics,' fur • 1 always thought that if the claims of the West Indians could not stand on their own merits, they were likely to re_ ceive nothing beyond hard knocks between whip and tory bat tledores I ❑merely wish the people of England to know the fact, that the African slave trade has received a fresh impetus, and is at this moment carried on in its most aggravated hot rors. I put it, then, to those whose philanthropy has induced them to make and to exact such immense sacrifices (in. the case of our own colonies) for the benefit of their fellow-creatures, whether they can conscientiously consider that their labours are. at an end? And I put it to any man, who is actuated by no higbei motive than a love of his own country, whether her prosperity is con sulted by tacitly permitting foreign ❑ations to resort to an illegal and cheaper mode of production? . Should the British government be unable or unwilling to insist on the slave trade being declared Piracy, it is certainly competent to order that the captured Africans be carried to our own colonies, from which a two-told advantage would result— an accession of labourers to the islands, and the delivery of the negroes from future bondage in Cuba. The quackery of ap prenticing these pour creatures, under the authority of the mixed commission in Havana, is too well known to require exposure here; but I atn at all times ready to show how the bounty of the British government is made subservient to the interests of the Cuba planter. A WEST INDIAN MERCHANT. The following is the extract referred to:— "The island continues quiet; but the negmes continuo to refuse working for wages (generally speaking)'during their own time, in consequence of which a very great falling off is expected in the ensuing crops, but particularly of sugar, which requires at least sixteen hours' continuous labour, during crop time, every day. The importation of slaves from the coast q. Africa to the island of Cuba has received a great impulse in consequence of the emancipation scheme. In the months of June and July alone upwards. of fifty ye seels: left-the port of Havana for the coast of Guinea. The I .llynx and the Speed well, formerly schooners of war on this station, have both been purchased by the Cuba Spaniards for slaves. They sailed from this (Kingston) on the 20th instant, and it is rather singular, that when the Speedwell was in commission, she was noted for the number of slaves she had captured and carried to Havana. Some persons apprehend that there will be some disturbances here about Christmas; but Lord Sligo is of a diffareut opinion." ~~`°"~:'~_:►~':"~A-a.~~ , -a ~- rte+ CUSTOM-HoUS TO TDB EDITOR OF THE LIVERPCOL to suggest to the heads of the cash department in our Custom-house the necessity of some steps being taken to insure us the usual despatch in paying our duties, as my clerk was detained to-day full three-quarters of an hour with less thou £200; and I learn from others, that they have, of late, expert coved similar detention. lie states that the cashiers were fu!ly employed, and he had his turn fairly; but it prevented me send ing off my goods as ordered, which I hope will not again occur. Yours, &c., A 11ERCI1ANT. January 19, 1835. THE COTTON TRADE. By the John Baring we have advices from Savannah to the 20th ultimo : These state that the cotton crop falls short to a greater i.ttent titan was imagined a mouth previously. A con siderable quantity will be held back. and the shipments will be retarded by the operations of speculators. In Charleston, on the 15th December, the market was steady, with full prices. These ranged from 141 to 161 and to 17 cents, for uplands. Sea islands 32 to 40 and upwards. On the IS.h they state "that" opinion is . stronger than ever, that the crop will not exceed 1,150,000 bales. We subjoin an extract of a letter, dated Macon, December 13, 1831: " I have been more and more convinced every day that I hate spent here, that, su far as the crop' of Georgia is con cerned, a deduction of 20 per vent—must • be made front last 'ear's quantity; and .1 believe that even this estimated defi ciency will be found 'not sufficient. Smite' people have doubts on this matter, korn the circumstance of the reeeiptsinto this market having been so much huger than up to the same period last year; but various circumstances have contributed to bring this about, not only here, but also to the west. The early severe frost put an effectual stop to the growth of cotton, and opened at once every bowl that had matured. This left the planter. an opportunity to gather in two pickings from the field, which, in ordinary seasons, required three or tour, and he was thus enabled to employ all his farce in glinting out and getting his crop to market, a portion of which force would otherwise have been required in the field, and with this labour so ad vanced, there was nothing to induce hint to hold back any part of his crop. In addition to the single inducement of price, there have been other reasons to operate this season not com mon to - othe:. years: The sale of a large body of valuable land, now offering in the state of Mississippi; has mot only attracted the attention of the planters of that state, but of Alabama and this also; and, to provide themselves with means, an early sale of their crops has been necessary, and there are hundreds from this part of Georgia that are now employing iheir funds iu this speculation. I am induced to mention these circum stances from noticing the large receipts of cotton, not only in this market, but in those of New Orleans and Mobile; and to my mind they go tar to explain the cause of those large receipts, without alteriug my opiniorrin -relation to the quantity made." ANOTHER FIRE AT MESSRS. FOSTER AND S IEWA It r s. On Saturday night lust, or early on Sunday morning, the premises of 111"essis. Foster and Stewart, the blinders, which were partially destroyed a short time since, as it is supposed, incendiaries,. was again discovered to he on lire, and the pecu liar circumstances attending the discovery tends to strengthen the opinion, that the Cornier fire was the act of miscreants. It appears that. at the hour above-ntentioned, one of the captains of the nightly watch, :is he WolB going his rounds, perceived from Newington Bridge the reflection of light from the yard. Ac companied by two watchmen, h e got over the palling. and in a •temparary stied erected for the s a wy ers th ey di scovere d a large -tire rapidly extending. It was situated i n th e e xt r eme end of the shed, within a few inches of the wall which separated the yard from the rope-walk, and had already set two large planks and a heap of loose wood on fire s , Water 4 having been procured, they succeeded in extinguishing it; and, on examining the place, they found the remains of rags,. a hag, Ste., which, being coupled %Till other trrtunistauces, leaves no doub'Of this une.tut vucally, being the act of an incendiary. Footmarks weta on Sunday morning traced in the snow, and, an inquiry, it was ascertained that there had been neither fire nor candle at or near the place during the whole of Sarurdny. Ou the surface of the stow was also f oun d . scraw l e d the words—" Iteme . her W. F." This daring act, at first sight, appears to be without motive. unless done in contempt of the proclamation offering .Estal reward for the discovery of the first incendiary, for there was very little property in the plate that could be destroyed. Probably it was done more tee annoy the sawyers than to injure the Owners; for we hear that 111essrs. Foster and Stewart's men refuse to join the union, and have on that account experienced frequently the enmity of the other sawyers. Possibly, too, the tomer lire, though so disastrous, was intended only for the de struction of the saws; and, singular enough, on the night of dor lire some of the ineu, apprehending danger, concealed their taws.

In order to insure the undertaking a greater degree of success, the Mayor, Bailiffs, and a great number of the principal families • in Liverpool and its immediate vicinity subscribed for a series • of twentv4our performances, the first of which was given last night. The dress circle of boxes was nearly full; but, from the number of family patties we saw there, we should suppose that they were for the most part the subscribers to whom we have alluded. The pit was also respectably filled, as were the upper boxis. The piece selected for the occasion was Rossini's tragic: opera of " Otello." The characters were thus disposed of : Otetlo, Signor Deval; Desdemona, Madam Kvntherland ; El mire, a noble 'Venetian, the f a th er of Desdemona, Sa,nor Marani ; Rodrigo, Signor Torre ; logo, Si g no r Boisragon ; Emilia, Madam Castetli ; Doge of Venice, Signor Galli. It is at all times a somewhat disagreeable tusk to sit in judgment upon the professionalmerits of those who come among us as strangers and exert their inmost powers terwin our appro bation, and more particularly when we are anxious to foster every species of talent that. is likely to impart a greater degree of refinement to our public amusements, which operates so powerfully upon our manners in private and social life. ' Hence, we regret the more that the performance of Madam Kyntherland, upon whom so much depends as the Prima Donna, was altogether a failure. We are willing, however, to hope that her fulaire efforts will be more successful. In the concluding scene where Othello in a fit of jealous frenzy stabs her, she exhibited sery considerable powers as an actress. Deval is already too well known to need any lengthened commentary upon his singing or acting—both in truth were excellent. Bois ragon teas equally happy in logo. He possesses a good bass voice which was heard to great advantage in several of the airs belong ing to that character. Martini was altogether out of his element as - a noble. Venetian, indeed we should as soon have thought of giving the part of Coriolanns to Liston, of Paul Pry notoriety. Signor Torre as Rodrigo was absolutely unendurable. The - band was admirably arranged by Herman, the leader. This department is we have no hesitation in sai i ng , ' more per f ec t th an th e one which was so much admired' last season. The flute of Mr. Browne, the clarionet of Mr. Leonard, and the violoncello of Jackson were very beautiful in several parts where obligato passages were assigned them. Th e over t ure , i n consequence o f the admirable manner in which it was performed, was encored. The dresses were appropriate, and some of them were very splendid. The stage business was well conducted, and great judgment was shown in the grouping of the attendants, which in some of the scenes produced a fine effect. The chorusses -were also well led, and very effective. A tragic opera of three acts requires something to relieve it; that something is a. ballet. The manager of the opera company must we think be satisfied, by' the attendance of last night, that the public of Liverpool is prepared to support him in his undertaking, and that he has only to deserve success to insure it. Cesari is, we' understaud, engaged, and will shortly make he-rappeara nee iisoste of hernld.eharaoters. Owing to the great length or the - opera, notwithstanding 'the omission of several scenes, the performance did not close until nearly twelve o'clock. Shortly after the whole company ap peared on the stage, and sang the good old national:anthem— " God save the King !" The audience, as is usual on such occasions, stood up, but we did not observe au. particular inauifestation of popular feeling. LOSS OF THE BARQUE HENRY. Tho ship Sarah, Captain Cornick, arrived here from Vir ginia on the 15th instant. On the 15th December, in lat. 40 30 N., lon. 53 W., she fell in with the barque Henry, of Hull; 49 days out from Liverpool, bound for New York, dismasted and in a leaky state, having on board 128 passengers, which with the crew, 16 in number, she took from the wreck. With 1(17 of these persong she has arrived here, seven having died on boar] and thirty having been taken from her by other ships which she afterwards fell in-with. Captain C. represents the misery and distress on board his chip as appalling in the extreme, being at sea thirty days after rescuing the crew and pesseugers of the Henry, all the time ou very short allowance and in constant dread of a mutiny break ing out. His undaunted and manly coudurt is beyond all praise, and cannot be too generally known. We understand it is to be represented to th. Admiralty, and that a subscription for his behoof is now going on among the merchants of this tow rt. The following is a list of the vessels which he fell in with, and from which he received such supplies of provisions and water as they could spare :—Dec. 21, lat. 43 27, lon. 41, barque Liver ponl, from Liverpool fur St. John, N.B. January 2, lat. 4622, lon. 30, brig Matilda, from St. John, N.B. for Gloucester.— Jun. 4, lat. 46 42, lon. 28, barque Susannah, from Batavia for Amsterdam. Jan. 7, lat.. 47, lou. 24 30, barque Doncaster, frotn Isle of France fur London. Same day, lat. 46 56, 10n:24, slip General Hewitt, from Alialras for London. Jan. 9, lat. 47, lon. 22 15, ship Hark Away, from Liverpool for Virginia.— Jan. 12, ship Walter, from New Orleans ter Liverpool. She also spoke and asked assistance from the barque Dorotl4, bound for Hull, and the brig Sylla, for Liverpool, but they were unable to tender any. TO THE EDITOR OP THE MORNING HERALD. Stri,—My attention has been drawn to a paragravh• in.your Newspaper alluding to the speech of Sir John CsmipCell (th e late Attorney-General) to the electorS of 4dinburgb, and where he descants largely upon the topic of th 6 circumstance 'of the Duke of Wellington having held in . his own persen so many offices during the period between Lord Melbourne's retirement and the return of Sir Robert Peel from Italy. "The Duke," says Sir John Campbell, "became Dictator—he combined in his own person the offices of the Secretaries of State, First Lord or the Admiralty, President of the Council, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster." I beg,air, through the medium of the columns of your re spectable paper to remind the public of the conduct of Mr. Dundas. in the year 1794, when the French revolution changed the face of Europe, and when it became necessary . to form a new system of polities—and before I proceed further allow me to remark, through anarduouS contest he proved a p o werful oppoheut of jacollinital liffUip!os - ="lttr. - Dundas held at the sante time the offices of Secretary of State, l'resident of the Board of Control, Treasurer of the Navy, and Minister of Scot land ; and notwithstanding the immense weight of business transacted in these different departments, no contusion or delay was ever complained of. With respect to the services which be rendered to his country in each of them, writers of every party are agreed.—l am, ',Nit.

THE PACKET-SIM VIRGINIAN. --We understand we were misled into an error in our last, when Iwe stated that the Gc turia bad beaten the Virginian by tlsree days in their respective voyages across the Atlantic. This is not lire fact. Both vessels sailed on the saute day, and the Virginian entered the 'Mersey first. We arc always ready to do justice to merit, but, not knowing either commander, we took the first statement in tha belief that it, was correct. We could have had nu partiality either way, as both vessels are American. SCHOOL FOR THE BLlNn.—The Annual Meeting of this cor poration was held on Friday last, in the; Board-room of the Insti tution, Mr. J. H. Turner in the chair, The Treusurer, R. W. Houghton, Esq., presented a statement of the receipts and ex penditure, which was read and approved of. the Earl of Derby was appointed President for the ensuing year, in the room of the Earl of Burlington, the late president. In the course of the meeting,. the Rev. Mr. Hull mentioned that the receipts at the door& of the church, in 1833, amounted to £6Bl Ils., and in 1834, to £678 145., although in the latter year the church was closed eight Sundays while the improvements were in progress. This. showed a virtual increase in the contribu tions while the church was open, and but for the suspension of the service for so long a period, the - receipts would have consi derably exceeded those of the .former year. The pew-rents in 1833 sere £638 6s. Id., and in 1834, £721 ; showing an in crease of £B2 13s. I ld. This was a proof that the alteration of the pillars and other parts of the church was a decided improve ment. Sin Gitonort Mcattay.—lt is with regret we observe, that that eminent statesman, Sir George Murray, has lost his elec tion in Perthshire. The gross intimidation and violence re sorted to by the partizans of the late ministry, prevented the indepeudent electors o: Perthshire fr o m d o i ng their duty at this important crisis; but it is one consolation.tnitusaY, that a seat in parliament is stilt secure fur Sir George, end that his valu able services will net, niaugre all the efforts of his enemies, and of the constitution, be - lost to the country.

UNSTAMIIiD PERIODICALS. — On Wednesday last Mr. Dallas, printer iu Glasgow, underwent a trial, at the instance of the crown, before his Majesty's justices of peace, at Glasgow, for having printed a certain unstaniped publication, entitled, " News of the Week." Ile was found guilty, and fined in the sum of E. 200 sterling. Warrant was granted to distrain the (le fender's whole effects for the amount ; but, the constable having reported on oath that he had not wherewith to cover the penalty, warrant has been issued for his imprisonment. It is thought, however, that the defendant has already given the crown geu tleruen French. leave. Fur the circulation of the above publica tion Mr. Francis Reid is still imprisoned in Glasgow Gaol.
