The Diligence naval transport arrived here late on Tues-
day evening from Plymouth, and having discharged a few
stores for the dockyard, proceeded on her way to W oolwich,
in tow of her Majesty's steam-tug vessel African.
The Clara Jane, Cheesman master, from Swansea, laden
with coals for the use of the steam squadron at this port,
arrived here late on Tuesday evening, having been five weeks
on her passage, during which she experienced much bad
weather, and was obliged to put into Plymouth, in conse-
quence of being short of provisions. She is to be placed
alongside her Majesty's ship Fortitude, the coal-depot for
steamers at this port, for the purpose of discharging part of
her cargo.
The brig George Andreas, Black master, from Newcastle,
arrived here with coals for the dockyard, on the evening of
i he 23th ult., and has been taken into the basin to discharge
her cargo. She is to be worked out at the low charge of
Id. per ton per man, and will employ four coal-whippers.
Many other gangs are now offering to work at the same rate
on board all ships employed on service connected with her
Majestys dockyard here.
The brig Thetis, of South Shields, passed by here on Tues-
day, en route to Rochester.

The North Star, Commander Pullen, having taken on

brought down to Woolwich to-day to be made ready to ac-
company the other vessels of the squadron, under Captain
Sir Edward Belcher, C. 8., in their voyage to the Arctic regions.

in regard to the unsightly pile of masonry connecting
at Lambeth the river banks of Surrey and Middle-
sex. After relieving the country of the old Whig
Cabinet, the new advisers of the SovEnnuis might
not inappropriately relieve the Thames of old
Westminster-bridge—erecting in the place of the
latter a more symmetrical structure, as they had con-
structed in lieu of the former a more definite and
comprehensible Government. But no—on the Ist
of April, appropriately enough—it was simultaneosly
announced that the consent of Lord J. MANNERS:WaS
withheld from any measure such as the one suggested
by the Member for the University of Oxford, and
the ballads of Lord JOHN MANNERS were announced
to be again on sale at the RIVINGTONS. The archi-
tectural improvements of the metropolis would seem
to have been added to that " wealth and commerce,"
to those " laws" and to that " learning," which the
laureate of Young England wished to behold sacri-
ficed to the Moloch of " nobilitie." It matters
nothing that the "silent highway," the principal path
for the traffic of the wealthiest capital in
Europe, should still be disfigured by the most dis-
graced structure in the shape of a bridge that could
well be imagined ; it matters not that that structure
was declared to be in a dangerous state six years ago,
and that the demand for its destruction was two ses-
sions afterwards pronounced to be imperative—the
carrying out of the suggestions made by the last
Westminster-bridge Commission involved the neces-
sity of a somewhat inconvenient exertion to some of
the members of the new Cabinet, and therefore this
postponement ! All that could last evening be
extorted from the Chief Commissioner of
Woods and Forests was the production of a
note relating to the subject under discussion! Lord
JOHN MANNERS consented to lay upon the table of
the House of Commons the letter referring to the
stability of the present bridge, written by—a gentle-
man whose name must be regarded as peculiarly un-
lucky under the circumstances—Woman.
Although it were superfluous and little less than a
waste of time, under the peculiarity of the case, at
present to enter into any detailed examination of the
arguments contained in the report of the Westminster-
bridge Commission of 1851, it may still be observed,
as bearing somewhat forcibly at this moment upon the
question here under consideration, that the document
referred to closes with the seven subjoined resolu-
tions, and those resolutions, moreover, let it be re-
membered, agreed to unanimously :
" 1. That the present bridge should be used as a
temporary bridge until a new bridge shall have been
constructed.
" 2. That a new bridge should be constructed ad-
joining, or as near as possible, to the present bridge on
the north side, that is, lower down the river.
3. That the new bridge should not be less than 60
feet in width, including the footways.
" 4. That it be constructed of iron, with stone " 5. That it consist of no more than five arches piers.
"6. That the height of headway of the e
. arch
above Trinity datum be not less than 25ft. Gin.
" 7. That it is desirable that no time should be lost in
making preparation for the commencement of the work."
Whether the new structure (that, we must still hope,
is "to be") should be built upon the model of the
bridge at Southwark, or whether, instead of being
cast-iron, it should be granite, built in a manner likely
to harmonize with the elaborated gothic pile
of the new Houses of Parliament, is a question
which admits rather largely, of course, of argu-
ment, and might not unreasonably be reserved for a
little further consideration. But whether active
measures should or should not be adopted, with a
view to remove the existing bridge and to substitute
a new one in a contiguous situation, can scarcely
admit any doubt whatever, after that final
resolution of the Commissioners, to the ef-
fect " that it is desirable no time should
be lost in making preparation for the com-
mencement of the work"—the work of removal
and reconstruction. In defiance of which resolution
the matter has again been referred to another session
by the Commissioners of Works, speaking in the
name of no Government. When is this deplorable
system of procrastination to terminate? When is the
country to be haunted no longer by that word of
" damning iteration"—postponement, postponement,
postponement ?

There is, after all, to be no further inquiry into
the case of Harwich. The House of Commons last
night, after a prolonged discussion, decided against
the proposed investigation, and ignored the bill ofiin-
dicttnent that had been preferred against that rather
notorious constituency. Hear this, ye BLAGcs and
EDWARDSES, and rejoice !—uplift your voices in exul-
tation, your honourable occupation is not altogether
gone ! It is true that ye may no longer have the op-
portunity of exercising your skill and ingenuity in
the scene of your former labours ; but there
are many St. Albanses in the field, and many
zealous labourers in the cause in which
ye have already signalised yourselves, and whose
future doings may cast your quondam exploits into
the shade. What encouragement will the majority
of 42 afford to these exemplary gentlemen in their
laudable vocations! The golden key, or some equally
significant token may again be hung out. The House
of Commons has extended the shield of its protection
over a constituency where not only the electioneer-
ing proceedings have bee❑ most loudly and generally
complained of, but where the existence of habitual
bribery and corruption has rested on something more
than mere suspicion. It was a decision worthy of
those who rejected the ballot, who refused to
protect the voter against intimidation, or to place
him in a position where the sale of his vote would be
all but impracticable. It would almost seem as if the
Right Hon. and Hon. Gentlemen conceived that these I
practices formed a❑ essential part of the British Con- '
stitution, and that whenever they were completely
abolished the sun of England's glory would be set
for ever.

" What is a pound ?" was a question triumphantly
asked by the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and repeated,
usgue ad nauseam, by his followers, the plutocrats
and bullionists. The Right Honourable Baronet
defined the meaning of the term to be "neither more
nor leas than a definite quantity of gold, with a mark
upon it to determine its weight and fineness."
Interested parties, those who were living in idleness
upon the fat of the land, and preying upon the
bowels of industry, accepted the interpretation with
joy, and considered the party by whom it was
put forward as "a DANIEL come to Judgment." It
was at that period the interest of the drones in
the national hive, to insist on the letter while disre-
gardingthe spirit of their contracts. They seemed
to forget, or rather to misapply, the principle enun-
org,
ciated by JOHN LOCKE, that "Men in their bargains
contract not for denominations or sounds, but for the
intrinsic value." If this doctrine had been observed

it would follow, as a matter of course, that when
gold becomes unduly appreciated, so that the 5 dwts.
gm, which were called "a pound," poesessed double

LONDON,

" the purchasing power" previously belonging thereto,
the quantity of bullion should be reduced, so as to
make the debtor liable for the same intrinsic value
only in discharge of his obligation that the same
nominal amount possessed at the time when it was
contracted.
This view, however, was earnestly protested against
at the time by the bullionists. Gold was scarce and
could not be then provided in sufficient quantities
to meet the wants and exigencies of our rapidly in-
creasing population and commerce. The value of the
pound, convertible on demand into 123 grains of ster-
ling gold, was much more than that of the inconvertible
bank-note, to which seven or eight shillings should be
added in order to obtain a gold coin purporting to be
of the same value. Those, then, who advanced paper re-
quired to be paid in gold, and insisted that their de-
mands could only be satisfied by the delivery for each
pound of .5 dwts. and 3 grs. of gold, and nothing
more or less.
It was by such arguments that the chains of the
debtors were double rivetted, and the quantity of
labour necessary to satisfy the public taxes or pri-
vate claims materially increased. In vain did mo-
netarylreformers protest against the Act of 1819, and
the supplemental measure of 1844, which appeared es-
sential to the due carrying out of the principle.
Their remonstrances were received either with care-
less apathy or gross contumely. The later measure,
which not only continued the necessity of paying in
gold debts contracted in paper, but created an
artificial scarcity of the precious metal by requiring
that a large amount should be locked up in the
coffers of the Bank, lying idle and unproductive,
when its active circulation would be productive of
the: most benefioial results, was lauded as the per-
fection of human wisdom. In vain did the commer-
cial crisis of 1847 arise. It was ascribed to every
cause but the true. We heard of overtrading, of
commercial imprudence, and mercantile delinquencies.
In vain was the well-considered report of the Select
Committee of the House of Lords—it was totally
disregarded. In vain was the powerful and
convincing testimony of the many unim-
peachable witnesses whose evidence was taken
before the carefully selected Committee of the House
of Commons—the obnoxious law was maintainsdj in
all its stringency, and no modification or alteration
would he beard of. The rnoneyocracy should still
keep their holds on the necks of the industrious
classes, cramping their exertions and paralysing their
energies.

But PROVIDENCE vouchsafed the relief to the suf-
fering people which man refused. The almost mi-
raculous discoveries of gold in California and
Australia were brought to light. Individual miners,
working without suitable tools or combined
efforts, obtained almost fabulous wealth, which
found its way not only to this country,
where there has been, in consequence, an
increase of at least 20 per cent. to the circulating
medium, but also to almost every other nation in the
world. Formerly, when gold was abundant in
England, it was scarce in America, and vice versa,
Different nations were trying to obtain sufficient for
their own wants, utterly careless as to the effects on
other countries. They were scrambling with one
another, like the children described by LOCKE as
" pulling at the scanty coverlet." But now there is
enough for all. It does not follow that because there
is high-water in Threadneedle-street, there must be a
deficiency in Wall-street, or that London is sup-
plied at the expense of Paris. Everything, too, pro_
miser a steady increase, and we shall be much
disappointed if even the calumniated and well-
abused gold companies do not produce results that
will astonish even the most sanguine shareholders.
The question, then, what will be the effect of the
gold discoveries in California and Australia, and the
increased activity in New Granada and other
auriferous districts ? must be considered, and that
speedily. It is more than probable that the propo-
sition for national notes and taxation paper would not
now be so contumeliously rejected as of yore ;
that " worthless rags" might be more favour-
ably received by butchers and bakers than in the olden
time.

On this point we would invite attention to a com-
munication which will be found in another part of
this day's impression, i❑ which the question is very
ably argued. 'We must, however, declare that the
interests of the debtors must be attended to in any
change that may take place, and that as no allowance
was made to the tax-payers during the monetary
crisis, none can now be claimed by tax consumers in
consequence of the superabundance of bullion. The
matter is one of deep and vital importance to the
welfare and prosperity of the country, and it should
receive that calm and attentive consideration which it
so eminently merits, so that an equitable conclusion
may be arrived at, in which the interests of the indus-
trious classes will not be disregarded, but an equal
measure of justice rendered to all without exception.

A characteristk letter, addressed to ourselves by
" A Flag Officer," will be found in another column :
and its insertion affords US pleasure, yielding evidence
as it does that the profession regards with satisfac-
tion the recent appointment to the head of the Ad-
miralty of his Grace the Duke of NORTHUMBER.
LAND. The remarks made by our esteemed corres-
pondent upon the folly of subjecting the maritime
service to the management of a civilian are
deserving, we conceive, of very serious consideration 1
and, happily, we tre sanguine that the nationa;
experiences of late will to a very considerable extent
deter any future Prime Minister from appointing as
First Lord of the Admiralty any administrator who
has not qualified himself for the post by his personal
services on those waves which, according to the
national verses of the poet of the " Seasons," are ruled
by Britannia.

ALABAMA
(From Eliza Cook's Journal)
[There is a tradition that a tribe of Indians, fleeing from
an enemy through the forests of the south-west, reached a
noble river, flowing through a beautiful country, when the
chieftain of the band struck his tent-pole into the ground,
exclaiming, " Alabama ! Alabama!" signifying " Here we
rest here we rest r]
The whole wide world is but the same,
Tracked by those foemen, Care and Grief,
While every human hope would claim
The spot that cheered the Indian chief.
Yet where is that Elysian tide
Which saved the warriors of the West?
Where can we find the river's side
Where mortal fears say " Here we rest ?"
We often think that gold—hard gold,
Will form the spot of dreamy joy,
But all we get, and all we hold,
Brings something with it of alloy.
Good does not always mate with Gain,
And wearied brow or cheerless breast,
Bends o'er a golden stream in vain,
Seeking the sweet words " Here we rest!"
We put our trust in robe or crown—
In ribbon band or jewelled star;
Such things may gleam in Fortune's dream,
But dazzle moat when seen afar.
Ambition's temple rarely yet
Let in a well-contented guest—
Some spoil unwon, some deed undone,
Will choke the soft words, " Here we rest 1"
Some place their faith in safer creed—
The wise, the God-directed few,
Who think a heart is what we need
To yield the peace that's pure and true;
And happy they who seek and find
A shelter in a kindred breast,
And, leaving foes and fears behind,
Say to some dear one, " Here we rest I"
Go carve long epitaphs who will
Indian's " Alabama" still
Speaks with the fittest voice of all.

I ask no more than sodenough
To make the grasshopper

And that a steno bear but this o ioe—
