THE DUKE OF SUSSEX AND THE REGENCY (From the Morning Herald.) Turn which way you will, the question in everybody's mouth is, " What could the Duke of Sussex mean by his speech on the. Regency Bill ? " The speech is re ported with extraordinary accuracy, and it has been read by the public with more than common attention ; but every one, on putting the paper clown, exclaims, " What can all this be about ? " The speech had the same puzzling effect on the House of Lords during and after its delivery. Every noble lord seemed to want time for reflectio n , no t as t o th e di scr ection of his royal highness coming out with such a speech on such an occasion, but as to what he was driving at. They saw that his royal highness is dissatisfied about something, but they could not make out from his rambling address what the something is. This is always the way with people who have an object at heart which they do not think it politic to avow. They beat about the bush, and by doing so only draw public suspicion upon their mo tives. And here, en passant, may be mentioned a sin gular fact as illustrative of the confidence which the pub lic always repose in the long run upon well tried worth, The Duke of Sussex appealed to the Duke of Welling ton in the most flattering terms, and the latter noble duke answered the appeal by keeping his mouth closed. The result is a general impression that the Duke of Wellington disapproved of the course taken by his royal highness ; and upon the strength of this impression alone, combined with the laboured mystification of his speech, the public suspect his royal highness of hav ing been disappointed, and disappointed ambition never gets credit for calm judgment or disinterested purpose. That his royal highness is dissatisfied there can be no doubt, for what man is not when he finds the follies of youth turned into whips for his old age ? The ministry have probably taken the wisest course they could. It was utterly impossibl e fo r th em , look ing to the disputed point of the legitimacy of Sir Augus tus d'Este alone, to have included the Duke of Sussex in the arrangements for a regency ; and to have ex cluded him, in favour of a younger brother, would have been an invidious act, which might hive sown the bit ter seed of party feeling,.where it is for the public wel fare that it should never be supposed even to exist. THE COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN. (From the Standard.) The two pillars of the strength and greatness of the United kingdom are its maritime commerce and its agriculture ; let either of these be shaken, and within five years Great Britain sinks to the condition of a third-rate power, and its manufactures are extinguished. Yet these stays of national power and prosperity are precisely the interests most violently assailed by modern Liberalism, and assailed apparently for no better reason than because they were to the despised " wisdom of our ancestors" objects of peculiar care. At present we say nothing of agriculture. We leave the public to judge how safe that great interest is in the hands of a divided government, if that government may be said to be divided upon the subject, four-fifths of which government is committed to the ruin of the agricultural body. The debate upon Lord Sandon's motion, however, gives rise to grave reflections upon the state of our maritime commerce. It is a narrow and false view of the importance of that comrnerce.,which regards only the number of pounds sterling it may . bring into the country. If it merely maintained itself, without adding a farthing to the public wealth, the foreign commerce of the nation is of immense value. The sailors of our commercial marine are at least so many Englishmen, provided for without charge to the country; and they are so many Englishmen trained in the manner best fitting them to defend us in time of danger. I f the number of these defenders of the country is diminish ing, even if it does not keep pace with the increase in the population, marine, and armies of other countries, then is the power of Great Britain retrograding—then are we not merely not obviating, we are inviting the hostility of other nations of the continent and of the United States, some of which would willingly be our friends, if we do not make them enemies by neglecting our affairs. We have no jealousy of France, for exam ple, if only England maintain her position, which we are convinced the King of the French wishes her to do. Louis Philippe and the leaders of all the recognised parties in France are at this moment eminently Con servative, and deeply impressed with the importance of maintaining the peace of Europe, and the power of England as the guarantee of that peace. We should, therefore, be indifferent to the increase of the commer cialand military marine of F rance , or rat h er we s h ou ld rejoice at it as an augmentation of the great Conserva tive armament of Christendom, if on ly G reat Britain, byincreasing her marine of all kinds in the same pro portion, should ensure that France will remain Conser vative. But if we neglect our interests we compel our anxious friends to become our enemies ; and nothing but the recovery of our former position can prevent France from sooner or later becoming once more the ally of the great foe of England, of the enemy of European civilisation, and of the liberty of mankind— Russia. What chances there are of regaining the place from which we have descended will be seen by last night's debate. THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S VISIT TO LEEDS. (From the Leeds Intelligence., Her Majesty's recepti on i n this thickly-populated district must have been most gratifying to her feelings. A vast mass of the working classes assembled in the streets and roads adjacent, but not a whisper of dis respect was heard. On the contrary, those who had on a never-to-be-forgotten occasion proposed " groans" for her, were the subjects of popular ridicule and re probation. The reception on Wednesday was a full compensation for former wrong. In consequence of her INlajesty's urgent desire to be allowed to pass without display, and her refusal to receive the addresses of public bodies, there were no strictly public preparations, save the providing of a military guard of honour. Yet the feeling of the in habitants could not be wholly restrained. Blue flags were displayed from the windows of many houses, and there were greetings in abundance, expressive of heart felt emotion. We understand that her Majesty was deeply affected by the respectful, not to say delicate, attentions of the immense crowd in Briggate. She had met with the kindness of the British people in other parts of the country, and was therefore not wholly unprepared; yet she had not expected such unanimity of regard in a purely manufacturing district, where it would have been easy for any one to have given vent to unwelcome sounds. If there were any " groaners" present, they were abashed by the general demeanour. Her M hasty :Majesty will look b ac k upon her 'passage through our streets as on e o f t h e most agreeable- oc currences of her not uneventful life. Last year Queen Adelaide was charged with a desire to beat up through the country for popularity in oppo sition to Queen Victoria. That calumny is now effect ually put down. We have the assurance of Lord Howe, in a letter to the Vicar of Leeds, that in no in stance whatever has her Majesty's desire to avoid pub lic demonstration been departed from. The clergy o f Leeds had prepared an address, and would have done themselves the honour of presenting it, either at Leeds or Harewood House ; but, of course, the wishes of the Queen were cheerfully complied with. Her Majesty's attachment to the Established Church has been evinced in many splendid instances of liberality. Saturday, the 15th of August, is appointed for the launch ing of her M a j es t y ' s s hi p L on d on, 92 guns, a t Chatham. She will carry on h er l ower d ec k s i x 68 -poun d ers , a nd 26 32- pounders ; the main-deck four 68-pounders, and 30 32- pounders ; on the upper deck, 26 32-pounders. JOURNEY TO IRELAND SIXTY YEARS AGO.—TO the pro- MN's by modern improvements, the following account of a journey to Ireland, in Mr. Rowan's boyhood, may be accept able :--" Parkgate was the usual port from which passengers sailed for Dublin. Those who chose to go by Holyhead hired horses in Cheater, which cost a moidore each ; but they only set out when six or seven passengers assembled. At the ferry of Conway an old woman had a cabin, where she lighted signals for the ferrymen to come over from the town. To get to the boat you were obliged to take guides along the shore, which they said abounded with dangerous quicksands, changing with every tide. This was the first day's journey : the next day you had to cross another ferry to reach Bangor, and then cross over Peninaen Mawr ; or if the tide was out, you went along the coast ." —(Autobio: graphy of H. Rowan.) A late Irish barrister was accut tuned to relate, that when he first visited England, to eat his way to the bar, (about the period here mentioned,) the whole journey to London occupied him three weeks'. Another plan has been talked of,—namely, of making our STkNDARD in silver in place of gold. The object of this is not explained,—perhaps it is not ex actly understood ; but it seems to be as follows. It is said first that silver is the standard in other states ; a reason without a reason, or it is a very indifferent one—and one, I think, which we should never yield to. It is clear that, how ever nearly equal the value of gold and silver may be here and in other states, the standard of value in all essentials must ever be vsry different, in a rich state having much property but many competitors for it, and in poor states having neither. It is believed next, that silver being an ar ticle in greater abundance than gold, it would be less liable to fluctuation in value. But if it is more abundant, it is, I think, in more general demand; and if we make it necessary it will be still more so. I have an impression on the other hand, that gold being particularly valuable, is therefore par ticularly watched ' • and consequently that fluctuations in it are better guardedagainst than they would be in silver; and I have little doubt that this was the reason why it was fixed upon as the standard of value in Britain. The result of adopting silver as a standard would be, almost to banish gold from circulation as a coin ; a circumstance that would cer tainly be attended with great inconvenience: and still, though not the standard, gold would rule the standard ; for silver being the commodity most exchangeable dter gold, would necessarily go out to find gold, the moment that it should be particularly wanted. But why should we insist on fancying a mystery where there is no mystery? or why insist on only seeing the stan dard of value in symbols, when it is in reality in the things represented Geld and silver are formed into coins, it is true, but they are also commodities—nothing else gives them their real value. They are used as the medium of circula tion, but that does not deprive them of their actual and in herent character ; it only gives them a value in two charac ters, as coins and as commodities. And it is here that our confusion arises. If they are wanted as commodities (as they often are,) their value in that currency may rise to any height, and yet the currency of which they form a part, be in a very sound and proper state; and, it shonld not be dis turbed, because they are in the meantime wanted. Yet this rise in price as commodities, is what happens when they are wanted abroad for any purpose, whether military or com mercial It is then that they begin to go out; and our cur rency-doctors seeing this, begin immediately to fancy we have too much currency, and to restrict its amount ; that is, as I have said before, like tailors on horseback, they deter mine on reining up to the backbone, as if their steed were bolting, when he only wants to have a frisk upon the foot path. Again. If gold and silver sink as commodities, beneath their value in coin, then again we think we have too much circulation, and act precisely in the same manner, though the cases are precisely reversed; though in the one case we have too much bullion, and in the other we apprehend losing too much. As there is no denying these facts, it is clear that the ideas that lead to them must he erroneous. I shall give my opinion very clearly; and it is, that in whatever our circulating medium may be, its VALUE de pends, neither upon its ingredients, nor its amount per se, but UPON ITS AMOUNT AND OUR OCCASIONS TOGETHER ; that the only way to make that value at all ti mes equable, is to keep the amount as nearly as we possibly can, equal to our fair occasions ; and that the only way we can do this, is, by considering the amount in years when the value of the circulation was fair, in connection with the business done in those years, and the amount of the circulation, and the busi ness doing now. Our STANDARD would then be in every great necessary of existence, instead of either in gold or silver, which are really not necessaries at all, but only by long consent held as their representatives. To instruct, in some degree, the correctness of this, I may observe, that ROTHSCHILD himself repeatedly said, that the value of gold abroad, was no criterion of the value of our circulation; and that there, if it is wanted, to pay armies in particular, it must be had, and consequently, any price will be paid for it. Our reasoning, then, should have been, that the want was of a commodity, and nothing else, and that only temporary ; and that the moment the money became released from the military chests, it would flow again Into ordinary business, and everything would be as it had been before. But this was too simple for our regulators of the currency. Nothing, for them, in such circumstances, but a pull at both ends ! Precisely as other people want the gold, they consider it indispensable that we should keep it. Then they begin their " action upon the currency," as they term it; that is to say, their contraction of the issues of paper, to keep the gold in, precisely when they ought to have endea voured to find a substitute, that would have made its tempo rary absence as little injurious as possible. But our next fear is, (and I shall not venture to say whe ther it is justified or not,) that if gold and silver are allowed to escape, they are not easily regained. One mode might be devised that would effectually insure their return, and that is, a considerable seigniorage upon the coin, making the metals included more valuable as coins, than as commodities. Other countries have a seigniorage as high as eight per cent., and in Belgium, under the late govern ment, many of the coins in use as silver, were merely copper washed. This insured their remaining in the country, for they were of no value anywhere else, and a fair seigniorage would equally secure their return. I have often thought in consequence, that for a domestic circulation, there could be no harm in allowing BANKS to issue a metallic currency considerably under the standard, de positing security for the difference, and affixing the private impress of the hank of issue, to show where its amount was exigible in standard money. The banks would in this way evade, in part, at least, the continual scourging of the foreign speculator, and that would be much ; but it must be admit ted on the other hand, they would run the risk of perpetual counterfeits, even in standard metals. As far as coin is concerned therefore, our present system is perhaps the best ; that is, a coin so near the full weight, as to hold out no temptation to counterfeit in equal metal. And I think, a circulation in paper, based as I propose, would go far to keep us as nearly as possible, easy and fearless in all circumstances ; for in all circumstances we should have an instrument of exchange of undoubted value ; and in all events, the following are obvious advantages of the plan I have pro posed. . The circulation would be made at once SAFE and UN EX PENSIVE ; its amount in paper would be limited, but its general amount could at any time be added to, in the preci ous metals. It would be made to rest on the security of the STATE, and yet the government could have no interference ; the State would be a partaker in the gain from such a circu lation, and yet without a shadow of participation in the risk, for it would take the situation of the sole Bank of Issues as to profit, but have none of its power of regulation, (except What an act of parliament would give), and none of its re sponsibility; the circulation would be distributed over the country, and over a number of independent Banks, and nei ther power nor responsibility would be trusted to ONE BANK; and so nothing like disaster, or even derangement, would be the consequence of a casual failure (if such there could still be,) for the vacancy so created would be eagerly sought by others ; as the number of banks would be no longer unli mited, nor their business a lottery as it is at present. The controul of the amount of issues would be rendered as com plete through money banks of issue as through a sole bank, and yet the chance of scarcity would be evaded as completely, as by having many mines and markets for gold, in place of one. Lastly (and to a STATESMAN, interested in the pros- . r . purity of the country, or capable of judging what would lead to it—this would seem of inestimable value), by beginning the limitation of the debts of the state, to a fixed amount, and at a moderate interest, the country would be entered upon the path of relief, by making its debts definite, though far too high ; and the interest such as should be paid on such a security. I would remark farther, in case of misrepresentation and houghtless acquiescence, that the regulations proposed by ne, which may be deemed most severe, are at this moment 'n practice, and on a very large scale; I mean in the case of the BANK OF ENGLAND :—For it has for many years had eleven millions of its capital deposited in guarantee of its transactions, and that is equal to a guarantee by my plan of twenty-two millions, the amount of its old circulation, in place of its present circulation of about eighteen millions ; it has been deposited at the fixed amount of eleven millions, as I farther propose, and at the reduced interest of three per cent. ; all exceedingly valuable arrangements as I humbly conceive. • So far, then, my plan is shown not only to be practical, but in practice ; and that practice should never be departed from, but made universal. I consider all my other proposals equally practical, anti equally just and necessary. That they will be adopted, I do not venture to hope for the present ; the subject has been rendered too abstruse. I can only say that I think they deserve to be adopted. There is not even an incidental observation made by me that does not spring from some important and well considered principle ; and I trust this will in time be seen. Meantime, in submitting these propositions, as I have done, I have done a public ser vice ; and I hope it may, to a greater or less extent, be ren dered available to the public. D.

LADIES' TEETII. — The cause of ladies' teeth decaying at so much earlier a s ta g e of life than those of the other sex, is attributable to the friction of the tongue upon them. But, according to the Hertford Courier, it is owing to the sweet ness of their lips, as it is a fact well established by every body's saying, that sweet lips ruin the teeth. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY.—PARIS, JULY 2.—lt is said that a very bumble individual has found the means of fixing the electric spark for public lighting, and that he can produce a permanent flame of 30 inches in diameter, which would light light a great part of Paris.

If there be one virtue more highly esteemed in our public men by the people of this country than another, it is that of consistency. Nothing can possibly be more distasteful to the honest, straightforward character of Englishmen, than to see a man abandon the political principles which he bad espoused, and forsake the party with which he had acted, for the sake of some dirty personal gain or advantage. Let a man's principles be what they may, conservative or radical, good or bad, provided he shows by his conduct that they are the result of conviction, and not adopted from interested motives—that man, whether leader or follower, will be held in high respect an d esteem. Abuse of the foulest kind may be heaped upon him—he may be a butt for the shafts of ridi cule and wit—exposed to the taunts and jeers of the factious and time-serving —no matter, the people know that be is honest, and love and reverence him accordingly. On the contrary, let it be seen that the principles which a man pro fesses to entertain are taken up only as the means of bene fitting either himself or his friends—that they are like goods brought to the market to be disposed of to the first or the highest bidder—not all the weight of lofty talent—not all the glory of the most heavenly eloquence—not all the influence which private worth and integrity invariably give its possessor —not all these united can suffice to make such a man other than an object of distrust, and scorn, and contempt. There is not a man, whether radical or tory, churchman or dissen ter, as we before had occasion to observe, that does not hold the wise, the good, the excellent Sir Robert Inglis, in the highest honour, because he can trace in every line of his fea tures, in every word that he utters, the characteristics of the " noblest work of God—an honest man. But what man is there, whose opinion is worth a rush, that will say that he considers Lord Palmerston, as a public character, worthy to be esteemed? Granting for the sake of argument that he is what we have just- supposed, a man of great talent, and elo quence, and influence, in the senate, and of unblemished in tegrity in private life—granting this, we say, for the sake of argument, and for the sake of argument only, for God forbid that we should be guilty of telling an untruth so monstrously extravagant, so outrageously ridiculous, as to assert that Palmerston is possessed of either eloquence or talent, either influence or integrity,—still he will ever remain, as he has ever been, an object of distrust, and ridicule, and contempt ; because he has sold himself over and over again to every po litical party in the country—he has been everything by turns and nothing long, and that for the most base, the most dis honourable, the most infamous of motives. These two in stances fully establish that the conscientious man, whatever his opinions, is beloved, and the time-server is despised. however, as our countrymen may esteem consis tency, they do not consider it an object of such blind idolatry, as to expect a man in order to be consistent to act in viola tion of the dictates of his conscience. True it is that there are some Whig-Radicals who are so fettered to their own dangerously erroneous opinions, that they think a man who has once been foolish enough to act with them, must ever continue in their ranks, however much lie may dissent from their policy. or however Much he may be convinced in his own mind that their opponents and not themselves are in the right. It is an established fact that the Liberals are the most illiberal, and Tolerants the most intolerant people,• with whom a man can have to deal. Liberty of conscience such people blusteringly claim for every man, but real liberty of conscience they insolently deny to any one. Therefore it ►s that Lord Stanley, and Sir James Graham, and Sir Francis Burdett, and the Duke of Richmond, hai , e, all in their turn, been the objects of the foulest abuse from the Liberals: These met► were all at one. time tainted, though, thank Heaven, it was but slightly, with Liberalism ; but they saw the error of their ways and returned to the paths of right eousness and truth, or in other words they became Conser vatives. Although they were assailed by the " Liberal" faction with the most inveterate hostility, they gained the good opinions of the great and overwhelming majority of the people, because no doubt was entertained even by the Liberals themselves, that they had changed their party, not from in terested motives, but from conscientious scruples. Men who act so correctly will always be respected by the intelligent classes of the community, and they will hold a place in the esteem of the people, second only to that occupied by those men, who, like Sir Robert Inglis, and many others. have, throughout the whole of their career, unflinchingly advocated the good and holy cause of Conservatism. These remarks have run to much greater length than we intended; but we have the vanity to hope, that they are not without their use—at all events, that they are not altogether inapplicable to the Duke of Richmond. Time was when his Grace was a member of a whip administration; but he is now, we are glad to say, though not perhaps nominally, but really truly, and to all intents and purposes, a conservative. The distance which separated him from the whigs has gra dually become wider and wider, and is daily widening, whilst every day has been drawing nearer and nearer to the con servative camp. He has not yet formally taken his place within that sacred arena, but the day, we predict, is not far distant when he will do so. His Grace is one of whom the conservatives have reason to be proud. Of great wealth,' of right noble lineage, and possessed of very respectable talents, the accession of the Duke of Richmond to their ranks will do honour to them, whilst at the same time it will render his illustrious name still more illustrious. There is something ennobling in conservatism—it is a creed that unites all that is good in politics, all that is holy in religion, all that is excellent in morals. Conservatism is like Christianity : it refines and elevates our nature, it makes the bad man good, and changes the worthless to respectable members of society. Such is its genial influence, that it would make O'Connell a gentleman, and would change the impudent ass, Hume„into a modest and unpretending person. It would make the soap-bbiler, Hawes, a man of some consequence, not alone in his own conceit, but in the estimation of others. Russell it would make almost a statesman, Macauley, something of a debater, and Bulwer not such a preposterous dandy as he is at present. It is a question whether it would not even transform Lord Morpeth's mouth into something like beauty. In short, its excellence and virtues are more than we have time to number. Said we not rightly, then, that new and greater glory will be shed on the name of Richmond, when its worthy representa 7 Live shall boldly quit the neutral ground that he now (apparently) occupies, and take his station on the benches appropriated to her Majesty's opposition ? When that event shall take place, it will be, as we have said before, no mean triumph for our cause, because it will shew the force of the truthfulness of our political creed on the mind of an intelli gent and excellent nobleman, who was formerly opposed to it,,and who, certainly, had no interested motive, but the reverse, for adopting it. The secession of the Duke of Richmond from the admi nistration of Lord Grey was a heavy blow and great discou- - ragement to whiggery, although it was then in its palmy and triumphant state. The refusal, too, of his grace to have any thing to do with the present administration has been a great service to the good cause, for it has shown the people that the ministers must be extraordinarily bad and worthleSs when no nobleman, even though biassed in favour of the. political principles they profess, with any pretensions to cha racter or talent, will not only not tact, join, or vote with them, but declines even to sanction their proceedings in so far as occupying a seat on the same bench in the house of parlia ment could be said to sanction them. By this conduct his grace has earned the thanks of the people. It may be said— " Courageous Richmond, well hast thou acquit thee !" But we would not have his grace stop here. We are anx ious to see him at once boldly and decidedly avow himself a conservative—to see hint formally enrolled in the conserva tive ranks—and we desire it for his own sake—we wish it for his own reputation. Let him become a conservative, and there will then be no occasion to say of him, as may be said of perhaps one man in the Whig-radical crew— " Oh, pitiable case ! so rich a stamp, And yet the metal base! In what high things Did nature fashion him ! whose rich intent Had he but half fulfill'd, no wealth, no state That earth can furnish for aggrandisement Of craving and insatiate ambition, Conferr'd on him, had given him half his due, Far less its debtor made him ! Misery ! To find the good we hop'd, the bane we hate !" The Duke of Richmond is second only to the Duke of Buckingham in his zeal for the English farmer. In him the corn laws have an earnest, an indefatigable, an able advocate. He is President of the English Agricultural Society, now holding its annual meeting at Cambridge. He is, too, a faith ful friend to the poorer classes of the community. To the poor fruit growers of Kent anti other counties, who have so much reason to complain of the injustice of the , government towards them, especially, he has rendered much - assistance, though not perhaps so much as he himself could have wished. All, however, that it was in his power to do he has done. The duke is constant in his attendance to his parliamentary duties : and he is incessant in his attention to those matters to which he devotes himself. As a speaker he is ready and fluent. He is always listened to with attention. He does not trouble himself with the flourishes of rhetoric, but he de livers good plain and practical speeches. He states his views clearly and distinctly, and often with great force and effect. He speaks very frequently, but seldom at any length, from the reason which our readers will recollect he gave when at Oxford last year, viz., " the reception of a bullet in his breast on the plain's of 'Waterloo." In person he is tall, and rather slimly built. He looks younger than he really is. He is no dandy, and his appearance is that of a perfect gentleman. The banner of a female friendly society in Bolton hears on he reverse, an inscription of which the following is a copy : —" To the Queen, Victoria of England, may she always rule, and the same to all other women ! It has been observed of the present " Petticoat Ministry," that it owes its eNistence so completely to female influence and support, that it may, on that as well as every other ac count, be appropriately styled a Miss-Government.—ArguB.

AN AWKWARD MISTAKE.—A circumstance of a novel and amusing nature occurred on Friday in the County Court, before Mr. Sergeant Green, while trying an appeal from a decree obtained by a person named Margaret O'Brien v. Keating, a minor. Mr. Freeman was engaged on the part of O'Brien, the applicant, and having been handed his in structions in court, conceived he was employed for the other party, and accordingly showed that the defendant was a minor, and consequently not liable to be decreed. His lordship agreed with the learned counsel, and the rule was about to be taken down, when he was informed by Mr. Darcy, the attorney for O'Brien, that he had been " in the wrong box ;" and amidst the laughter of the court, in which his lordship joined, he very gravely commenced upsetting his own argu ment, and quoted several cases in support of his new position. He had, however, done the business so effectually in the first instance, and his client was accordingly nonsuited, after a very entertaining scene.—Limerick Chronicle. STEAM-SHIPS OF WAR PLANNED FORTY-SIX YEARS noo.—ln 1794, Lord Stanhope addressed a letter to Wilber force on the question of peace or war, likely, he thought, to be brought under discussion on the meeting of parliament. In this he speculates on the possible resources of France, and hints that England is not invulnerable. His reasons are curious, and, considering the date, not without interest : " This country, Great Britain, is vulnerable in so many ways that the picture is horrid. By letter I will say nothing upon that subject. One instance I will, however, state, because it is information you cannot, as yet, receive from any other o tine e i f a s c . t w T i h l l e b t e h in fully g I e a( s la t l nt a i b dd l e i i s ti l i oi c ai d s ,focafwnid, peculiar a i s r r i s a i ir y inai t l, h lo e pr n trao hear quarter ; though i n t wo or th ree months from the date o f t hi s i f e ro tt m er The fact is this, I know that ships of any size, and, for certain reasons, the larger the better, may be navigated in any narrow or other sea, without sails (though occasionally with), but so as to go without wind, and even directly against both wind and waves. The consequences I draw are as follows :—First, that all the prin cipal reasons against the French having the ports of Ostend, &c ., c e a se ; inasmuch as a French fleet, composed of ships of the above-mentioned description would come out at all times from Cherbourg, Dunkirk, &c., as well as from Ostend, &c., and appear in the same seas. The water even at Dunkirk will be amply deep enough for the purpose of having them peace. Under dfeorr the e wi old li b n e autica there. The French having Ostend ought not, therefore, upon that com pleteud e under revolution,tli subject;but importantconsequence which the most ithis ne w le t ovobl revolution t a i o b n a r i n t o n al'a l from the sturndou's fact mentioned at the top of this page is system, naval men might have reasoned differently no better than navies of the world (I mean military navies), dependent upon wind and weather, against fleets who ll y this—namely, that it will shor tl y render all the existin g lumber. For what can ships do that are independent of one. French have their new either ? Therefore, the boasted superior it y of the English navy is no more !

Yates's Gibraltar.—t 24 to 1 „ Lord Eglinton's Dr. Caius.—t 40 to 1 „ Lord Westminster's Maroon.—t 500 to 400-on the field against the two favourites STATE OF TRADE LEEDS.—The letters and orders received by the Great Western have given a slight impetus to the woollen trade of this district; yet the quantity of business doing is very far from what is usual at this season of the year. The conse quence is that many of the mills are running short time, whilst others retain only a diminished number of hands. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a better attendance of merchants at this market on Thursday, but the amount of the sales effected was not proportionably extensive. As the stocks are considered low, and none of the manufacturers are disposed to produce largely, in the present critical state of the, wool market, the prices of manufactured goods under we►it no material change. There was a fair demand for yarns of medium and inferior numbers at previous rates. The wool market was by no means firm, and the sales made were only for actual consumption, as the spinners seem to appre hend a further decline of prices. YORK WOOL MARKET, July 23.—We have no attendance to note either in the supply or demand for Wools, as com pared with our hit week's report. The trade rules exceed ingly dull.—Leeds Intelligencer. LEICESTER.—There is no improvement in the demand, although stocks of goods in London and the country are con sidered light ; dealers and shopkeepers. buy only what they require for present use. The absence of all foreign demand is much felt. No alteration in the price of yarn, but little is doing in wool. There is no speculative demand, and the staplers seem disposed to allow the farmers to hold the stock, and buy only as the trade may require it. Prices of farmers' lots range from 275. to 30s. according to quality.—Leicesler Chronicle. The market for Metals remains in a most stagnant situa tion, nor is there any decided change in the quotations of any article ' • bar iron, however, being most tending to the ap pearance of a fall in price. Vottrp. WHERE AND WHAT IS HEAVEN BY THE REV. J. B. M'CREA Say what is heaven, and where — lteplies the untutor'd native of the West. ("Tis far beyond the purple mountains ; there " Sires and their sons eternally are blest, " Sailing in light canoe from place to place, . " Unscathed by storm, by hot sun unoppress'd; "With favourite hounds engaged in joyous chase, " Or stretch'd on flowery banks in dreamless rest, • " No dread of white man-robber to molest." Where? ask, and what is heaven The scholar of the old philosophy. He will convey you, at the silent even, And point where seems to ope the golden sky, And say, " Beyond that burnish'd coast are given " Elysian fields of immortality " To sages gone, for wisdom who have striven ; " To heroes who have bled for liberty " Matrons and maids of vestal purity." What ? ask at Mecca's cave, And where is Allah's envied paradise? "Above the sixth-roofed heaven," replies the slave Of luxury and lust, " the regio'n lies." He'll speak of sensual pleasures which the brave And zealous for the prophet realize; Where carnal appetite may nothing crave ; Sounds meet the ear and beauty feasts the eyes With ecstacy that nor abates nor dies. But what and where is heaven ? Say, taught of Christ. "That house unmade witt hands, "To all the ransomed by our Jesus given; "Within whose everlasting portals stands " A throne of glory, circled by the blaze " Of pristine seraphs and redeemed bands, " Who cease not their united songs of praise " To Him who honour'd all Divine commands, " And groan'd, and died, and lives the Saviour of al. lands." Waterloo, July, 1840. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. BANKING TO PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN Edinburgh, Bth July, 1840 So many proposals have been broached upon the subject of improving our system of circulation, that, like most other subjects, that have become the topics of the day, it has been overlaid, and brought into utter and almost irremediable dis credit. I shall advert to only a few of the most dangerous. The introduction of ISSUES by GOVERNMENT has been suggested by some, and argued very lately in a meeting of It is yet more insane, if possible, than the merchants adoption of a SOLE BANK OF ISSUE! Because even suppos ing both to act with good faith to the best of their ability (and that is a very violent supposition,*) where is the assur ance that either would soon know what they were doing? The members of government in particular, are seldom if ever MEN of BUSINESS ; that is, men acquainted at once with principle and detail. Whence, then, their power of con troul, whatever might be their wish ? They could have none. They could not even have the proper anxiety, —nor in the proper quarter, nor the slightest idea of where they ought to look for mischief ;—and if they had all these, have they time to carry their wishes into effect? There can be no doubt, that the confidence already placed in the government, in mat ters of detail, is not only unjustifiable but criminal, consider ing whence the money they have to deal with comes. Let us do ANYTHING therefore, but add the issue of paper to the mess. We should soon have the cooks of under-officers keeping books of state-notes in their kitchen drawers, to pay for their caps and coals, as has happened with respect to bank-notes, where it was infinitely less to have been antici pated. POLITICAL CHARACTERS. No. XIII (From the Oxford Herald.) THE DUKE OF RICHMOND " Awake, awake ! Arm, fight and conquer for fair England's sake !'' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING There was very little done to-day, and the highest offer on the field for the Goodwood Cup was 7 to 4 ; 5 to 1 bar Charles XII. ST. LEGER.-5 to 2 on the field ; take 3 to 1 on Crucifix TATTERSALL'S, ThURSDAY The alterations in the betting to-day may be described in a few words. For the Goodwood Stakes, Hetman Platoff and Orelia were backed with considerable spirit, the horse having the lead at the finish ; Clarion underwent a further decline, and the other favourites (if such a term can be.ap plied to them) were in very little favour. The Cup betting, was confined to a small number; 2 to 1 was taken eagerly about the first favourite, and in some instances a shade less • two or three small sums were also laid on Hetman Platoff Beggarman, Pocahontas, and Romulus, but we did not ob serve any " eagerness" to get on about either ; Lanercost was friendless. A few engagements were entered into on Galen, Dr. Camas, and Maroon, for the St. Leger, without causing any material change. , Gibraltar, for want of sup porters, dropped to 15 to 1, and the only bets we heard against the two favourites were at 5 to 4 against them jointly. The following were the prices at the close of a very dull af ternoon : GOODWOOD STAKES. 6 to 1 against Mr. Bowes's Hetman Platoff.—t 7to 1 „ Mr. Allen's Orelia.—t 12 to 1 „ Hon. S.
