The Speech of the Queen Regent of Spain on
opening the ordinary Session of the Cortes of the
kingdom on the Ist inst., will be found in another
part of The Sun. A telegraphic despatch, received
by the French Government last week, apprised it
of the circumstance of no allusion being. made to
the negociations for peace between ESPARTERO
and MA noTo, and this omission, which greatly
abated our curiosity to obtain a copy of the Speech,
will be felt as a gf.Vat disappointment by English
readers in general. It is, however, easi:y ac-
counted for. When the Speech was in the course
of preparation, on the 29th ult., an express
reached the Spanish Government, stating that the
Carlist Chief ZA RIATEGUI had defeated General
DIEGO LEON, and that in the engagement the
Christinos lost upwards of 2,000 men. This ac-
count was accompanied by a despatch, announcing
that the interview between ESPA RTERO and MA-
ROTO, on the 26th ult., at Villareal, terminated in a
rupture, in consequence of which the two Generals
had put themselves at the head of their respective
armies, resolved to abide the decision of the sword.
FORCADELL, too, at Liria, had obtained a trifling
advantage over an inferior number of the QuEEN's
troops ; and these various indications of a longer
continuance of the war induced the Ministry to
forego ail reference to the pacific negociations con-
ducted under the friendly auspices of England and
France. It is certain, however, that had the treaty
of Beraara between ESPARTERO and MA ROTO,
published in The Sun of yesterday, reached the
Spanish capital before the opening of the Cortes,
it would have supplied one of the most interesting
paragraphs in the Royal Speech. But the delay
after all is of no great importance, as it will form
the suliject of an early Special Message from the
Crown to the Cortes.

The Speech represents the state of Spain as
being upon the who!e sufficiently satisfactory.
When we take into consideration the long continu-
ance of the civil war—its fratricidal character—its
brutally demoralising tonduncy—and its natural
effect upon the habits of a proud, indolent, super-
stitious people, we cannot help being struck with
the few outrages which under circumstances so
trying have disturbed social order in Spain. Here
the QUEEN REGENT has just grounds for congra-
tulating the Cortes. As the speech is almost
entirely made up of details only to be collected
from a perusal thereof, we at once refer our
readers to the document itself, as it would serve
no purpose to attempt to enumerate them here.
We are particularly pleased to learn that the Spa-
nish Government is most anxious to do justice to
the claims of the public creditor, and we trust that
this very important question will be early brought
under the consideration of the Cortes.

DREADFUL INSTANCE OF SELF-DESTRUC•
TioN_This morning, at a quarter past ten, a respectably
dressed female threw herself from the top of the Monu-
ment ; her clothes caught the iron spikes, and she fell
sithin the railings in Monument-yard. On reaching the
ground she appeared but slightly convulsed, and was in.
stantly dead. The body was shortly at terwards removed
in a shell.

OPENING OF THE SPANISH

CORTES ON THE IsT INST.

i THE DUBLIN REVIEW. No. XIII.
Dolman, Bond-strcet.
If the Editors of this Review wish to obtain
for it a circulation so extensive as to make its
influence felt upon public opinion in this country,
it will be necessary for them to obtain the assist-
ance of a very different class of contributors from
1 those who at present encumber its pages with an
excess of scholastic dullness. Of ten articles which
make up the present Number, just one half are
reviews of theological works, and after looking over
Them with some care, we really cannot determine
which is the dullest or the least instructive. We
are far from objecting to the review of ecclesias-
tical works forming the leading feature in a
) periodical, one of -whose main objects is to
t rescue the Church of Rome from the obloquy
heaped upon her by the clergy of a rival
establishment ; but surely the Catholic priesthood
of Ireland is not wanting in members capable .of
uniting with the qualities requisite for the enuncia-
tion of sound critical opinions, a moderate share of
wit, sprightliness, and humour ? In the Review of
the " Catechetical Lectures of St. Cyril," recently
translated at Oxford, we expected to find some lu-
minous views of the state of the Church .in the
fourth and fifth centuries, with some attempt to elu-
cidate the general character of the scholastic divi-
nity of that period. Great was our disappointment.
• The writer indeed displays some acquaintance
with the text of Cyril, but beyond this he ex-

lish readers. He assumes at the outset the infalli-
bility of the Church of Rome, and having, as lie
'supposes, planted himself firmly on this rock, he
„can discover no motive that a pious Catholic can
' have for perplexing himself with the opinions of
. the fathers. We profess to have no great venera-
tion for most of the religious and metaphysical
unties of the early fathers of the Church. Chris-
tianity, which in its origin was so simple that a
• babe might comprehend its scheme, purport, and
t obligations—which consisted actively in the love of
kGod and our neighbour, and passively in a belief
Iin the Redeemer—w 4 by the Fathers amplified,
ioerpolated, and spun out into a dark, elaborate,
and :ncomprehensible system in their vain and fri-
volous efforts to determine verbal obscurities, and
to torture the Scriptures into a recognition of the
right of grafting Christianity upon the decayed
trunk of Paganism. Does the Reviewer question
the truth of this? Let him turn to Saint Agus-
tine Bishop of Hippo's first Commentary upon
the Scriptures ; or to two-thirds of the works of the
learned Origen. Nevertheless the translation of
the writings of the Fathers is deserving of every
encouragement, because if such translations be
faithfully executed, they will open the eyes of Pro-
testants and Catholics to many glaring abuses in
the rival Churches for which Priests are constantly
quoting the assumed sanction of the primitive Church.
More than one half the dogmas about which these
' sectaries have been cutting each other's throats for
the last three centuries were neither known to, nor
dreamt of, by the earliest ecclesiastical writers as
other than subjects of mere speculation, with which
the body of the faithful had nothing at all to do.
This is perhaps the true secret of the indifference
with which the Reviewer regards the publication of
a Library of the Fathers, accessible to English
readers. But after all he may be under no very
I serious apprehensions. Oxford is not the quarter
from which to fear such an exposure of the delusive
arts of priests as the entire publication of the works
of the Fathers would make manifest. " Tracts for the
Times," "Wiseman and Turton's Controversy," and
"Church Architecture of the Middle Ages," will
fail to interest the general reader. The last, how-
..ever, . has the merit of brevity to recommend it.
" Dollinger on the Mohammedan Religion" is not
without a certain degree of interest derived from
extracts from the world reviewed ; but it is evident
at a glance that the Reviewer, previous to the
perusal of Dr. Dollinger's book, was either very im-
perfectly acquainted with the Koran and the history
of the rise and progress of Islam, or that he knew
'not how to interweave such valuable materials with
the work intended to form the staple of his criti-
ticism. The articles not on ecclesiastical subjects
are by , no means obnoxious
.to the charges
preferred against those already noticed. ' " Mo-
dern English Novels" is a happy and just
criticism of the more recent works of 'Mrs.
Gore, Theodore Hook, Captain Marryat, Miss
iiurdon, Mrs. Trollope, and Lady Blessington.
" iVaterton and Natural History" is an instructive
and entertaining review of one of the most interest-
ing little works on natural history that has appeared
since the (ice's of Buffon. Upon the whole, we think
the Dublili Review capable of great improvement,
and in no respect more than in devoting a greater
proportion of its space to the elucidation of Irish
history—traditional, political, religious, natural,
topographical, and statistical. We want, and the
country wants, a Dublin Review in reality, not a
Gazette of the acts of the See of Rome.

(Prom the Madrid Gazette.)
SPEECH OF THE QUEEN OF SPAIN.

An immense ci owd assembled early in the streets through
which the Royal cortege was to pass, and the balconies and
windows were filled with spectators, the ladies being par.
tic ularly numerous, and the elegance of their toilette was
much remarked. At noon the troops formed a line from
the Palace to the Place St. Maria, as also the National
Guards. The procession moved in the following order :
A half-company of the Body Guard of their Majesties,
in full uniform. A Court carriage, drawn by six black
mules, in which were three Gentlemen Ushers. In a
second carriage were the Marchionesses of Santa Cruz and
of Torrejon, First Ladies of Honour, accompanied
Count Punonrostro and the Countess of Sastago. This
carriage was drawn by six magnificent white mules su-
perbly harnessed, with four footmen in rich liveries
marching by the side. A third carriage contained the
Duke de Atagon, Count de Santa Colonna, Duke Hijor,
and the Marquis de Malpica. Six brown mules with
footmen were attacked to this carriage. A, state carriage
of antique form followed, singular from its costly carved
work in massive gold, drawn by six superb bay horses with
rich harnesses, and six Court footmen. Four junior officers
of the Gerdes des Corps preceded the carriage in which
were their Majesties the Queen Isabella 11. and her august
mother the Queen Regent. Eight superb white horses drew
this carriage, in which were the crown and sceptre. Teri
lacqueys walked by the side, which was escorted by a chief
of the squadron of the Body Guard. After the Royal
carriage came the staff, having at its head the Captain-
General of Madrid, with a detachment from the cavalry
and infantry of the National Guard and of the gar-
rison. Then followed bands of music, cuirassiers, &c.
A second salvo of artillery announced the arrival of
their Majesties' at the Palace of the Cortes, where they
were received by the Minister of the Interior and the
deputation of the Congress, composed of twenty-four De-
puties and twelve Senators, preceded by four ushers. When
their Majesties entered all present rose. Her Majesty
the Queen Regent, richly dressed, and her august
daughter, dressed in white, having majestically traversed
the Chamber, took their places on the throne, behind
which were the Court attendants, and on the right side of
the throne the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and of War ;
and on the left the Ministers of Grace and Justice, of the
Interior, and of the Marine. When their Majesties were
seated, the Senators and Deputies followed.their example.
The President of the Council of Ministers (Perez de
Castro). having first had the honour of kissing the hand
of the Queen Regent, presented to her the Royal speech,
which she read with sonorous voice and decided emphasis.
The speech is as follows :
" Senators and Deputies—l experience the greatest
satisfaction in presenting myself before you with my illus.
trious daughter, Donna Isabella 11., a pledge of union and
happiness for Spaniards, I have the greatest confidence
that your loyalty and your efforts will consolidate her throne
in despite of all her enemies.
" I have great pleasure in announcing to you that our
relations with the friendly Powers whose signatures are
attached to the treaty of quadruple alliance are in the most
satisfactory state. My august allies afford me daily new
proofs of the very great interest they take in the just cause
we defend. Combining their assistance on the coasts of
the two seas, our powerful and faithful allies, France and
Great Britain, acquire new and well-merited title to the
national gratitude.
" The other nations which have recognised the incon.
testable rights of my illustrious daughter continue to give
me sure proofs of unchangeable amity. Those which have
postponed this acknowledgment' regard the progress of
our struggle without hostility. I have reason to believe
their Governments to be better informed as to the legiti-
macy of our cause, and of the indisputable rights of our
daughter, and I regard the happy day as very near which
will witness the complete triumph of justice and reason.
" I announce to you with pleasure the re-establishment
of our ancient relations with the Helvetic Confederation,
to which political reasons have determined me to accredit
a diplomatic agent.
" Our political and commercial relations with the diffe-
rent American States arc developing themselves. A di-
plomatic agent has been appointed to the Republic of
Mexico. Negotiations have been made with other States
of this Continent, to which the ports of Spain are already
open. I flatter myself that the negotiations will soon
terminate with reciprocal satisfaction, without compro-
mising the dignity or the interests of Spain.
"The term of our commercial .stipulation with Turkey
having expired, I have authorised the representative of
my illustrious daughter at the Sublime Porte to renew it
it conformity with our national interests.
" Certain considerations have induced me to rccal
our agents tolerated at Genoa and Nice. I have reassn
nevertheless to hope that this affair may terminate advan-
tageously for commerce and national honour.
" Public order has been constantly maintained in the in-
terior; and if it has been for a moment interrupted in the
capital of a province, it was immediately re-established by
the application of the law. In consequence of reasons aria.
ing from the state of the country, various provinces have
been submitted to an exceptional mode of government.
When circumstances have permitted a portion of these
provinces have been restored to the common .regime ; and
I have the satisfaction to say that their loyalty and devo-
tion have responded to my wishes.
" The national militia, the essential guard of public
order, has combined with this important service that of war
when the occasion presented itself, and, emulous of the
valiant army, it has a right to the gratitude of the people.
" If the Administration, paralyzed every moment by the
devastation of civil war, has not been able to encourage, as
I had desired, agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, it
has at least not only preserved, but even encouraged, fresh
communications.

41 Public instruction, the basis of morals and civiliza-
tion, progresses as much as it can in the midst of the em-
barrassments of the nation. In the provinces some primary
schools have been established, as also the Normal School
of Madrid. These establishments aff.)rd the most flatter-
ing hopes.

7' The war is in the most promising state. The enemy,
divided amongst themselves, and reduced to its natural
proportions, has lost a great portion of the tcrritory which
it held-so long a time under its domination, and from which
it drew in abundance men and resources. The armies
hve been materially increased in men, horses, and mate-
riel of war; and I have the satisfaction to announce to
you that they have maintained that order and discipline
which always ensures victory.
" The army of the north, opening the present campaign
by the brilliant operations of Ramales, Guardamino,
Orduna, and Armenio, followed by other operations as
skilfully conducted in Navarre, is victoriously penetrating
into the centre of the enemy's country. After having
triumphed with glory over the difficult positions of Villa.
real, Urquiola, and Areta, the army continues its sure
movements, which promise us new victories.
" The army of the centre has just humiliated the pride of
a ferocious chief near Lucena, and with fresh glory at Tales.
" If the war in Catalonia has progressed less quickly in
consequence of particular circumstances, we must hope,
however, that the constancy and discipline of the army will
be crowned with new victories.

MR CANADIAN, BRITISH AMERICAN, and
WEST INDIAN MAGAZINE. No. VIII.

The present Number contains articles on the
`History of Canada, a Lecture on Emigration, Co-
lonial Summary, &c., the chief object of which
seems to be to recorDmend Canada as a place for
emigrants, and depreciraf: other places and other
plans of occupying land than the one adopted in Ca-
nada. It is not prudent, however, in the conductor
to
knublish all the evil which Mr. Pond says of the
Wes;.ern parts of the United States, for it makes
the desit;rn of puffing off the Canadas too apparent.
The work does not contain so much Colonial in-
formation as from its title we expected to find in it.

" The rebel bands which 'infested other provinces have
not succeeded, or they have been exterminated. Tranquil-
lity and confidence revive amongst the population.
" The recruiting and the requisition for horses, accord-
ing to the law of January 10, have been executed rapidly
and tranquilly, and have been quite successful.
" The enemies of the throne and of the constitutioral
cause, more confident in discord and intrigue than in OR it
valour, have wished to raise a revolt in our African poss.es-
sions These machinations have succeeded in Alhucemas
and Molila. But the nation has soon recovered those im-
portant points, in despite of the few forces which could be
spared for the enterprise; and the vigilance and the loyalty
of the authorities have caused the failure of the plans of
revolt which were upon the point of breaking out in the
important place of Ceuta.
" The Navy shows itself worthy of its ancient renown,
as much by its valour as by its constancy in the midst of
privations. It has rendered, and it daily renders, the most
important services on the coasts. It has made several con-
siderable captures from the enemy, and these prizes have
ruined in great part the gigantic plans of Cabrera. In
despite of the deficiency in our treasury, our naval forces
have been considerably increased, and I occupy myself un-
ceasingly to improve them. For this purpose, and to ensure
the execution of the law which prohibits the purchase of
vessels of foreign construction, my Government will pre-
sent to you a project of law destined to facilitate the ship.
building, and to ensure the preservation of our forests, now
in a deplorable state in consequence of the civil war.

THE DAGUESROTYPE.—We had not expected
too ranch from the incentive spirit of scientific men, when
wo said that this beautifu: discovery, being once disclosed,
would soon experience improvements. M. Dumas has
already succeeded in preventigy the drawings of light
)",-oln being injured by rubbing. Thp glass which was to
filiOter them from all contact is hencnforth useless. A
coath,-t,r of varnish is substituted for it, and it scarcely
injures the artistical properties of the image. This
varnish, which must be run hot (a cliaud) on the plate,
consists of part of dextrine and five parts of water.
Another improvement also due to M. Dumas is the sub-
stitution for the plated copper of a thinner plate of
silvered copper. S;nce the light acts but upon the silver
coating, may we not venture the observation that silver
gilt thin pasteboard, or even paper, might do as well as
metallic plates ? How simplified the Daguerrotype
would then be We doubt not that these improvements
will have some influence over the prices which the
paguurrotvpe-makers were about to require from the
public. The sum of 420 f., already mentioned as the
Cost of a camera obscura and eight plates only, was really
exaggerated.
A beautiful and elegant monument to the me-
incr.,' of the late Mrs. Fiteacrbert has recently been
erecter in the Catholic chapel in this town.—Brighton

Mr. O‘N•en, of Stockton, is still suffering incar-
ceration in Du,-ham, for want of sureties, but his friends
are actively engaged in his behalf, and hope by Monday to
have him liberated.

At the meeting of the Bench of Magistrates at
Croydon. on Monday, the Proprietors of the Regent and
Vivid, Brighton coaches, we,-ct summoned to produce their
coachmen for furious driving, anJ thereby endangering the
lives of the public. A plea of guilt? ?,adwaisiartocin
.in bothfie
cases. The Magistrates said the
quently to complain of the furious pace at o•bichetahsemßnri g.h".-
ton coaches were driven through the town, and thepro
prietors had been written to upon the subject, but :t did not
appear to have had any effect. It was absolutely necessary
that it should be put a stop to. Mr. Loraine said that
the day the alleged offence was committed by the Vi ,
be was on his way to Croydon, and be saw the coacho
coming along at a most furious rate, and all the our
horses were galloping as hard as they could, and at the en-
trance of the town a frightful accident had very nearly cc.
curred. A man in a cart, with a sluggish horse, who was
crossing the road had barely time to get out of the way, and
the wheels of the coach passed the cart so close, that it was
actually a terrific sight, and if the vehicles had come in con-
tact at the pace the horses were going, the consequences
must bzwe been most dreadful. The Magistrates ulti
mately irkflicted a fine of 103. and costs upon the Vivid, and
in the case of the Regent the parties were ordered to pay
the costs.
The sale of the tups and sheep of the Earl of
Leicester, ,'u the Quarks Farm, by Mr. W. Beck, on

immediately bring about a prompt and happy issue of the
war. But it is not less urgent to harmonise the different
branches of the Legislation with the Constitution of the
State, in order that they may produce the benefits expected
from them. Leaving to your prudence the choice of giving
the preference to the discussion of affairs which merit it
by their importance, my Government will soon present to
you the general civil and criminal codes. Other laws as
to the responsibility of Judges, &c., will be submitted to
you, as well as reforms in the municipalities, provincial de-
putations, creation of a Council of State, the relations of
the two Legislative bodies with those of the Government,
the law of majorats, Ministerial responsibility, judicial sta-
tistics, &c.

" The perfection of the law on tbe liberty of the press
has been the end of our constant efforts under every point
of view. The important institution of the national militia
is not less worthy of occupying your attention. My Go-
vernment will present to you two projects of law on these
interesting subjects.
" Finally, the labours relative to the general regulation
of the clergy are continuing with activity ; and the project
of law will be presented to you as soon as possible, as well
as several others not less important, until, the reforms that
my Government wishes to accomplish being accomplished,
the people may gather the fruit of five year.; of war and
sacrifices.

" Senators and Deputies—The nation has placed its
hopes in you, and I expect, also, everything from your
prudence and patriotism. In what concerns myself I have
refused nothing that could contribute to the happiness of
Spaniards, and I shall always follow the same course. It
is my glory that my name is inseparably united with the
welfare of this heroic and generous people.
" We shall be happy if by our combined efforts we see
shortly, as my heart desires, the war terminated, the con.
stitution consolidated, and the throne of my august
daughter, Isabella IL, strengthened, in the name of whom
they fight, and in whose name, I hope, with the greatest
confidence, we shall triumph."
_ _

After the reading of this speech the President of the
Council said—" Her Majesty the Queen -Regent orders
me to declare that the Cortes of 1839 are legally opened
in conformity -.Nith the constitution of the Monarchy."
Thcir Majesties then retired, and returned to the Palace
in the same order as they came.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

(TUESDAY EVENING.)
POST.—We have no change to announce in the ge-
neral appearance of the Money Market since yesterday,
unless it be that accommodation has been, perhaps, still
more readily obtainable, and of course at a less unfa-
vourable rate of interest. It is satisfactory to know that
the late arrivals from the United States have put us in
possession of some amount of gold coin. We are unable
at present to give the precise sum, nor is this, indeed, of
much importance. The circumstance is interesting only
as it serves to show that a change in the financial rela
tions and arrangements of England and America has
taken place, which promises to lead to a beneficial result..
According to one account, the sum received by the
steam-ship Liverpool in sovereigns is 120,000/., and
according to another, 350,0001. These statements
differ considerably ; but the fact that the Amerieanz,
are substituting gold for canal, and railway, and bank-
ing shares, for which there is no longer any sale in Eng-
land, is evidently regarded by the moneyed interest, and
the trading community also, as a favourable symptom
It was with a view to the operation of the measure on
American interests in a great degree that the Directors
of the Bank of England were induced to raise their dis-
count to the extent they have done of late, because,
although the balance of trade between the two coun-
tries is very much against the United States, the conti-
nued realization of American Stocks in the British mar-
kets was calculated to increase that balance, and to keep
up the drain on the Bank coffers of the precious metals:
The efficacy of the measures adopted by the Directors,
though they may not as yet have produced all the
improvement in the financial condition of the coun-
try which they (the Directors) are presumed to have
aimed at, is thus rendered apparent to the understand-
ing of every one. The amount of specie held by Ame-
rica is estimated at 65,000,000 dollars, and, as this
forms but a very small part of the balance due to us,
it is much to be regretted that the visionary schemes of
the Washington Government should be still persevered
in, so as to prevent the return of at least a portion of
the metals which they forced out of the hands of the
Bank Directors, much to the prejudice of the general
commerce of the world, but more partieularly that of
the Americans themselves, who appear to have been
infinitely the greatest sufferers by the folly of their
rulers. The exchanges were to-day much better than
they have been for many months past. The quotations
for the three months' bills were as follow :—Paris,
25 65 to 70 ; Hamburgh, 13 101 ; Amsterdam,
12 31 to ; Frankfort, 151, and Antwerp, 12 3i to 4.

TIMES.—Some arrangements are said to be in pro-
gress between the United States Bank and the house
of Hope and Co. of Amsterdam, by which some new
stock is to be created, or additional funds to be sup-
plied to that institution. The securities held by the
Bank are well known to be on a very large scale, but
not of a description to be readily available in London,
under the general pressure for money which now
prevails, and yet the large issues of various 'kinds
wade here during the last /8 months render extensive
disposable means all but indispensable. In Holland,
where monetary affairs have undergone no disturbance,
and where American securities are well understood, it
appears that all which may be required will be readily
furnished, especially as the bank of Amsterdam, under
the guarantee of Hope and Co., is expected to take
part in the transaction. The intention is to deposit
with that bank a sufficient amount of the American
state stocks and bonds which constitute the assets of
the United States Bank, against which bonds will be
issued by Messrs. Hope and Co., with interest payable
in Amsterdam and in London. The sum required is
supposed to be about 2,000,0001. sterling. The soli-
dity of a concern possessing so large a capital
(7,000,0001.) as that of the United States Bank, is
not, of course, to be called in question, but the impru-
dences committed in forming too extensive engage-
ments, and overtrading of every description, have
often been pointed out, as well as the consequences
to which they must one day lead, of great loss and
embarrassment.

The English Stock Market continues quiet, with
rather a firm and gradual tendency upwards. Consols
today improved for Money to 90* to 1 ; and for Ac-
count to 911 to 1. India Stock was 248 to 9. Ex-
chequer Bills 7s. to 9s. premium.
In the Foreign house the business in Spanish Stocks
st'll continues to be carried fn upon a large scale, and at
advancing prices. The Acelve, with the May coupons,
were 271 to 1, being a rise of 41 per cent. upon the
quotations of yesterday. Portuguese Five per Cents.
were 321 to ; the Three per Cents. 211 to ; Bra-
zilian were 78 to ; Mexican 28 to i ; Colombian 32
to ; Dutch Two-and-a Half per Cents. 54 to 1 ;
the Five per Cents. 104 to 4 ; Belgian 103 to ;
Danish 75 to
Railway Shares were in better favour in the market
to-day. London and Birmingham were 52 to 4, the
quarter shares 16f to 171 ; York and North Midland,
8 to 10 prem. ; Great Western, 1I to I disc. ; the half-
shares, / to 1 prem. ; Brighton, 131 to 121 ; Blackwell,
11 to disc.; Greenwich, 13 to / ; Southampton, 41
to 2 ; Croydon, 101 to 11 per share.
By the usual official return published by the Cus-
toms, the exportation of the precious metals from the
port of London to foreign and colonial ports, for the
week ending the sth of September, is as under :
Silver Coin, Hamburg Ounces 114,404

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL
SUMMARY.

From an unusual press of matter we are compelled to
abridge our usual Political Summary. The Monlin"b
Chronicle contains an article on the subject of Mr. Gib-
son's defeat at Cambridge, in the course of which our
Contemporary observes, " the frequent Tory tirades
against Mr. Gibson do not in any degree resemble the
judgment of public censors on public conduct. A pro-
phetic fear of the delapidation of its bulwarks has seized
upon the heart of Toryism."—The Times, speaking of
Lord Monteagle's latest appointment, says—" Who
may have been moved to take compassion upon his
sore and sorry state, and allowed him to squat on the
soft seat from which poor old Sir John Newport must
have been bundled to make room for him, we know nut,
but the public must and will know how much
they are to be robbed of by the Whigs on account
of this dirty and discreditable job."—The Morning
Herald, alluding to Mr. Poulett Thompson's ap-
pointment to Canada, by Ministers, observes
It is their obstinacy in persevering in contempt of
public opinicn in sending out. Mr. Poulett Thompson
as Governor-General to Canada, which will be the
cause of future evils to that important dependency of the
British Crown, and of consequent calamity to the em-
pi re." The Morning Post observes, with reference to some
of the recent Ministerial changes and appointments—" Let
it be granted, for argument's sake, that Mr. O'Connell
did not influence some of these appointments, and that
neither hostility to the Protestant Church, nor indiffe-
rence respecting it, was intended to be encouraged by
them ; still the impression has been created, and that is
have been foreseen,
a practical thing of great importance, which might well
and which, if foreseen, ought not
to have been brought about."
The Globe thus expresses itself on the subject of
the majority of the Chartist Delegates :—" We are
again told that Chartism is not going down. The Con-
vention, however, is to be dissolved on the 14th instant.
Their debates, as reported, were flat, and nothing is
stated about the money. This is what we expected.
We are far from imputing sanguinary or even strong
political views to the greater part of the Dele-
gates. They seem to be men of small capacity
and some cunning, who have induced the labouring
classes to send in a national rent, and having pocketed
by pounds that which was subscribed in pence, are
anxious to dissolve now that no more money is left,
and are getting up a sham fight, after the manner of
irregular appropriators at a fair. There may be among
them some man who has higher views, and who will not
like to be included in the above imputation. If so, the
only way in which he can do justice to his own char-
acter for honesty will be by insisting- upon a full expo-
sure of tha conflicting items."'

The Standard makes the following comments on Mr.
O'Connell's present clamour for Repeal :—" Notwith-
standing the well-affected sincerity of Mr. O'Connell's
late Hurrah for Repeal!' we remain firmly of opinion,
not only that he means nothing of the kind, but that his
patrons on this side the water arc perfectly aware of the
fact. He has two objects i 0 view—the nearest and
dearest, that of replenishing the begging-box ; the
ulterior motive, that of exciting a degree of agi-
tation which may help to realise his predic-
tion that the Conservative party cannot return. to
office without the adoption, with all their concomitants,
of strongly coercive measures in Ireland. The tenor of
all his recent recommendations would seem to verify
this view of his conduct. Even his suggestions to his
besotted followers to restrain for a while their violence
in order that the contrast may appear the more striking,
are all calculated to place difficulties in the way of any
Government not connected with his patrons. No rea-
sonable doubt can be entertained that O'Connell is on the
best possible terms with her Majesty's Ministers. The
recent appointment of threePopish agitators to places of
trust and of emolument in the Government, might of itself
be regarded as proof sufficient that some treaty offensive
and defensive' has been entered into between them.
One of two things is clear : either the Government
are fally aware that the present howl for Repeal has no
more mischievous object than enabling its author to ex-
hibit himself in the light of a labourer worthy of his
hire,' and thus increase the contributions to his begging
box ; or be has the consent of Lord Melbourne to the
Repeal of the Union, provided he can excite a sufficient
agitation to serve his Lordship as an excuse for its con-
cession." - •

The Courier, makes the following reference to the
late Cambridge election, and the defeat of Mr. Gibson :
—" It is now placed beyond the shadow of a doubt
that. Mr. Gibson would have been returned for Cambridge,
by a majority of at least twenty, but for the corrupt.
practices on which as yet light has been but partially
thrown. The foul frauds that disgraced commercial
Manchester have been fully matched in classic Cam-
bridge. University intimidation was one of the leading
features of the malpractices in the latter borough—a
borough only temporarily, and we may confidently add
only briefly, lost to the Liberal interest. • The indepen-
dent press vouches for the fact that more than three
dozen poor voters were bribed, and twice that num-
ber intimidated,-within eight and forty hours of the
election. Not only is this number said to be under-
stated, but it excludes the estimate of all those who
must have been bribed and intimidated previously. This
fact, it is alleged, will come clearly out at the proper
time and place. These losses, be it observed, are xlu-
sivee of the votes of about fifty sincere but timid Re-
formers, who were not polled, although they were in
readiness all day on Thursday to record their votes in a
body, if, by doing so, it should be proved to them that
Mr. Gibson would be in a majority. These persons
were principally servants or dependents of the Uniser-
shy, who never can know the real value of the fran-
chise without serious cost to themselves, until the Ballot
secures it to them."

BARBADOES AGRICULTURAL

REPORT.

(From the Bards Liberal.)
We hive to congratulate our readers and the inha-
bitants generally of this parish, on the prospeious and
pleasing state of agriculture in Trelawny. It affords us
infinite satisfaction to state, that notwithstandir, the
numerous difficulties with which all parties have had to
contend, the crops are being rapidly taken off, and some
estates have finished a successful harvest for the present
season. In all probability, it will be shown that the
crop of 1839 has exceeded that of the preceding year in
no inconsiderable degree. The estates under the superin-
tendence of Messrs. Marrett, King, Edwards, Schar-
smidts, Murray, Morrish, and a few others,who prefer mild
instead of harsh measures, have succeeded, we are in-
formed, beyond expectation, but we regret to learn
that those under the control of Messrs. Jump (of
scribbling notoriety,) Fry, Dexter, Carey, Frater,
M'Laughlin, James, and Mitchell, have been con-
ducted with an unwise policy ;—the consequence is,
that the peasantry employed by these gentlemen arb
dissatisfied, and are anxious to locate themselves where
they will be free from oppression, and from the abuse so
wantonly lavished on them. Notices to quit have been
issued by wholesale for the purpose of frightening the
people into the acceptance of low wages at the conclu-
sion of crop. These iniquitous notices have made the
labourers determine to purchase homes, from which
they cannot be summarily ejected, and thousands of
pounds have been already deposited by them in the
hands of their Ministers, for the purpose of carrying
their noble and spirited determination into effect.
Messrs. Knibb, Clarke, Dexter, and Dendy, have suc-
ceeded in buying large tracts of land, and assisted as
these Reverend Gentlemen will be, by the West India
Land Investment Company, in the course of a short
time, Townships will be built, and the proprietors be
made as they ought to be, entirely independent of their
present employers.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS

The last flower show for the season of the Royal
South London Horticultural Society took place at this
interesting place of amusement yesterday. Though
last it was not least, for of all the exhibitions that have
taken place during the summer we have seen none to
surpass it. The dahlias were in great perfection and
variety. The asters, and coxcombs, and balsams,
besides a great number of green-house plants
of the first quality, were generally admired, not by some
hundieds, but by many thousands. At five o'clock not
fewer than fifteen thousand persons had paid for admis-
sion, and even then the current seemed as strong as
ever. The day was fine, the company orderly and re-
spectable, and the scene altogether was of a most gra-
tifying description. _

In the course of the morning a great number of
prizes had been adjudged to the members of the So-
ciety, as well as to others who were not members.
Among the amateurs, Mr. Headly received the gold
medal for the best 24 dahlias ; Mr. Fyffe, the small
silver medal for the best 12 asters ; and Mr. Bashell,
the middle silver medal for the best collection of cut
flowers.

The prizes given to gentlemen's gardeners, entering
on their own account, were :—The gold medal to Mr.
Sadler, for the best collection of miscellaneous plants ;
the middle silver medal to Mr. Hudson, for the best
cockscombs ; and the large silver medal to Mr. In-
wood, for the best collection of cut flowers. Mr. Lee
received the large silver medal for the best four sorts
of fruit grown in England (excluding grapes and pine,)
and Mr. R. J. Chapman the middle silver medal for
the best basket of grapes grown in England. Alto-
gether seventy-four prizes were given away in the caurse
of the morning.

LI;LECTION OF A RECTOR FOR ST. JAMES'S,
CLEkKENWELL.—The decease of the late Dr. Shepperd,
the Rector of St. James's, Clerkenwell, has given rise to a
contest in that parish to fill the vacancy. In that popu-
lous and somewhat democratic parish, which is a rare thing
in England, the inhabitants choose their own clergyman
—the appointment being in the rate-paying householders.
The candidates are Dr. Dillon, who has been for many
years Evening Lecturer in the parish; and Dr. Faulkner,
who has also resided in the parish for many years, and been
a preacher in one of the churches of the parish. Both
are, we believe, eminent men, and highly spoken of.
Whichever may be elected, the choice of the inhabitants
will du them no dishonour, and may serve as a proof that
popular election is as likely to secure good pastors for the
Church as the nomination of the Lord Chancellor, of a
Bishop, or of a country gentleman. The late incumbent
was in his time an eminent man, and the choice of him did
no discredit to the popular system;—the value of which
the present election will confirm.

VESTRY CLERK OF ST. LUKE.--A meeting
of the vestrymen of St. Luke's was ln ld yesterday morning
at ten o'clock for the purpose of proceeding with the elec-
tion to the vacant office of Vestry Clerk. The candidates
ate Mr. Burton, who for thirteen years hes filled the office
of A sistant Vestry Clerk, and Mr. Rohert Fletcher, a
solicitor, who grounds his pretensions on the assumption
that it is absolutely necessary that tho office of Vestry
Clerk should bo filled by a professional gentleman. Mc.
Burton was nominated by Mr. Smith, and .Ir. Fletcher
by Mr. Palliser. On a division there _appeared for Mr.
Burton 250, for Mr. Fletcher 20; majority for Mr. Burton
230. A poll was then demanded on behalf of Mr. Fletcher,
which will take place this day and on to-morrow. The
votes will be taken by

CHURCH PATRONAGE-PA RISII OF DA VIOT.
—Our readers are aware that the parochial charge in the
neighbouring parish of Daviot is vacant, and that as there
are only about ten or twelve male heads of families com-
municants in the parish, a keen canvass and no little spe-
culation have been called forth on the occas!on. Lord J
Russell has just nominated the Reverend Simon
Mackintosh, Insbes, and the Reverend John Fraser,
Stratherrick, as candidates for the choice of the quali-
fied parishioners. In making this intimation to the per-
sons concerned, Lord John conveyed an admonition to
certain parties who had been instrumental in getting up a
petition on behalf of another gentleman. He stated that,
whilst at all times anxious to consult the wishes of the
people in the selection of their clergyman, he could give
no encouragement whatever to the canvass of a vacant
parish ; and having understood that, beyond doubt, such
had been the case in this instance, he had come to a reso-
lution to set aside the petition thus got up, and not to
advise her Majesty to appoint the individual on whose be-
half it had been forwarded.—lnverness Courier.
THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF CA-
ADI...'L-ThC Glasgow fierald states the Glasgow petition
has, against Mr. Thomson's appointment, been signed by
many leading commercial men of all shades of politics.
The petition says :—" We would respectfully call to your
Majesty's remembrance that the known and deliberately
expressed opinions of the Honourable C. P. Thomson, in
his place in Parliament, on subjects involving the vital in
ae-refs of the Colonies, and especially of Canada, are such
as depriving him of the confidence of the Colonies, and
their hearty co-operation, must render it impossible for him
to administer the government of Canada at this critical
period with advantage to the empire, or with safety
to the lives and properties of your loyal Canadian subjects.
We therefore earnestly imp!ore your Majesty to re-
scind the appointment of the Right Honourable C. P.
Thomson, as Governor and Captain-General of the Cana-
des, and to confer that most important government on a
person whose opinions are not inimical to those great in-
terests which he is sent to protect."

EMIGRATION TO NEW ZEALAND.—SO many
emigration schemes have turned out failures or been intenis
ed merely to enrich parties on the Stock Exchange, that a
public journalist runs a considerable risk of bringing dis-
appointed persons on his shoulders by recommending
any one scheme. Amongst those however, which have
lately fallen under our notice, the " Scots New Zealand
Land Company" deserves to be favourably mentioned.
It seems to be free from the taint of being a money
speculation. The leading object of this Company is
unite a body of working small capitalists istin shall
be at the Same time labourers, or shall find labour in
their own families, and who are to purchase a territory
either at first-hand from the natives cr from any individual
.pr Company wherever they can obtain land best and cheap-
est. They prefer New Zealand on account of its fertility
and its salubrious climate. They are not to have commis-
sioners at home, and the projectors repudiate as "mere
moonshine " Mr. Wakefield's scheme of selling the
land at a high pike, and with the proceeds send-
ing over labourers to till it as servants. For the
success of the plan we should be reluctant to answer,
but we approve of the principle of a Company of
small working capitalists seeking to establish a colony by
themselves, and to form their own Government, instead of
relying on projectors and commissioners, who must be paid
far services that are of very doubtful utility. The first
meeting of this new Company was held at Perth, on the
24th ult, and steps were then taken to carry the project
into effect. We hope that it may be more successful than
one of the first attempts of the Scotch at colonization, that
of the Isthmus of Darien, which was so disastrous and so
long a subject of dispute.
THE SNOOKS REGIMENT OF LIGHT DRA-
GOONS.— We are extremely glad to find that, although the
officers of the 11,h Light Dragoons do not know how to
conduct themselves, the horses arc anxious by their beha-
viour to redeem, in some degree, the character of the
regiment. Our readers will recollect that, in the original
fracas, when Cornet Snooks attempted to ride over the
Canterbury magistrate, his- horse refused to countenance
any such outrage against the constituted authorities of the
country. And so again, last week, we read—" During
the review of the Ilth Light Dragoons at Canterbury last
week, by Lord Hill, two of the men were thrown, and the
horses immediately afterwards galloped into their proper
stations in their ranks without their riders." At all events,
the horses of the Eleventh are no Snookses, whatever the
officers may be. They know what is their proper station
and feel what is becoming to their rank, and act accord-
ingly. We hope their example will henceforth be followed
by the rest of the regiment.—Liverpool Chronicle,
USE AND ABUSE OF WHIP AND SPUR.—
In order to urge the horse to his utmost speed, the whip
and spur are made use of, and by the proper use or the
improper abuse of these instruments the required effect or
the reverse is produced : but if the former object is not at-
tained, an evil arises by the abuse of these weapons, which
thoughtless persons never recognise, an act of cruelty is
perpetrated, and a foundation laid for much future disap-
pointment. Having obtained the horse's greatest efforts
by the use of the whip and spur, they may sometimes be
necessary to a certain degree to induce the animal to con-
tinue his exertions until the termination of the race ; but
in this disposition and power of the animal must be con-
sulted. ft is one of the great features in a jockey's skill i
to be enabled to discriminate whether t is want of power
or temper which prevents his horse from increasing his ef-
forts when called upon; and if temper, whether that temper
is the result of previous punishment. The instinct of
the animal is such, that when his powers of speed
are maintained to their utmost, if he continue to be goaded
with the spur, and lacerated with the whip, he naturally
supposes he is being punished for his exertions ; conse-
quently he relaxes them. The ignorant and unmerciful
rider too frequently continues to punish the already dis-
tressed animal, who, from the effsets of pain, torture,
and defeat, is ready to run anywhere to escape the un-
merciful infliction, and is consequently condemned as bad
tempered. So long as the horse is found to improve his
speed by their use, so long is a jockey justified in the
moderate and necessary administration of his whip or spur ;
but the instant he finds that they fail to produce the
required effect, that instant he ought to keep them still.
It is by the continued application of them at such a time
that horses are so often found to stop, or, as it is commonly
termed in racing language, to shut up, the moment they
arc called upon, arising from nothing but the recollection
of the severe punishment which they have sustained on
former occasions. If it could be even allowable to pass
over the cruelty of such treatment, interest alone should
dictate the impropriety of punishing a horse at such a
crisis.—Old Sporting Magazinefor September.

BOROUGH of FINSBURY.—On Saturday no-
tices were posted at the church doors of this borough,
stating that Thomas Falconer, Esq., the barrister appointed
to revise the lists of voters for the borough of Finsbury,
will proceed to do so on Monday, the 16th instant, at ten
o'clock, at White Conduit House.
A GREENACRE.—A person advertises in the
Post for a wife in such terms as to leave no doubt of his
odious intentions. He has induced a poor ignorant man
at Chelsea to take in letters for him ; but it is to be hoped
that there is no woman foolish enough to become the
vampire's victim.
