should constantly persist in a fragmentary system of MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Legislation which may be compared to the folly de-
nounced in the Gospel of putting pieces of new
cloth as patches upon an old garment, by which the
rent, instead of being mended, is often made worse.
If the interests of the country, commercial and de-
fensive, demand a coast survey, common sense re-
quires that it should be co-extensive with the coast
traffic and acccessible harbours and bays •f the
kingdom.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are French and Ostend mails,
and ship letters from Calcutta of an old date, Dec. 14.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TIIURSDA V.—The Cotton
Market continues in an inactive state. To-day's sales are
estimated at 1,000 bags, at previous rates.
We have received the Antwerp Paper of yesterday's
date; it does not contain any political news of conse-
quence, with the exception of a statement that the resolu-
tion to demolish the fortresses of Belgium begins to gain
credit. Dutch Funds, April 30.—Tvvo-and-a- Half per
Cents. 54i ; Five per Cents. 102.
Letters have been received at the North and South
American Coffee-house from Batavia, of December 31,
but they do not contain any political news of consequence.
A Hamburg mail has arrived, bringing Hamburg Papers
to the Ist of 1113 y ; they are devoid of news. Metalliques
105 i; Bank Shares, Money 1,498, Time 1,500.
By accounts received yesterday from Beyrout, of the
19th March, it is stated, that the Egyptians have again
seized Nazarin, and made most of the inhabitants soldiers.
Great preparations are making for war in the north.
Ibraham Pasha, is at Aleppo. The state of the inhabi.
tants of Syria was wretched beyond description. All eyes
are turned with hope towards Europe, particularly Eng-
land, to avert the horrors of war.

In 'another part of The Sun will be found a
Report of the proceedings at a Meeting held yes-
terday at the Thatched House Tavern, for pro-
moting a railway communication between London
and Dublin, by way of Chester and Holyhead. The
Meeting was well attended by gentlemen having an
interest in this line, which we require no stronger
evidence than was furnished by the Chairman to
convince us, is by no means so deserving of public
support as the line by Wolverhampton and Port
Dynllaen recommended by the Railway Commis-
sioners. The Chairman stated the journey be
tween London and Dublin, by the Holyhead
line, could not be made in less than sixteen hOurs ;
whereas by the Wolverhampton and Port Dynllaen
route the time would average from nine to twelve
hours. Now the saving of time is the great point
to be considered in connecting the capitals of Eng-
land and Ireland. By every hour that we shorten
the passage to Dublin we diminish nearly to the
dimensions of a river the sea that divides
the two countries. Here no personal interests—no
petty savings in the shape of a few hundred thousand
pounds, should be regarded for an instant.- A
Railway connecting the capitals of England and
[reland will form the strongest Act of Union, and
Alerefore its construction is more a national than a
Local undertaking. Time saved here is everything

gained.

The whole of the Paris Papers of 'Wednesday
hate been received, but they bring no political

news of any interest. The celebration of the
KING'S birth-day absorbed the exclusive attention

of the pleasure-loving citizens of the French capital.
Being observed as a holiday in all the public

offices, the usual evening mails were not forwarded,
by which we would have received those nonsensical
effusions, unheard of in every other capital in the
world—the birth-day addresses.
M. DurlN's explanations in the Chamber of
Deputies on Tuesday are loudly condemned by
nearly the whole of the Liberal Journals. How
deservedly, in our opinion, is already sufficiently
known to the readers of The Sun of last night and

itis morning.
The Constitutionnel of Wednesday publishes the
following list of a new Cabinet, which, according
to that Journal, might be expected to appear in the
Monitcur of Thursday :

• C President of the Council and
Marshal Soult I Minister of War.
Duke de Broglie Foreign Affairs.
M. Duchatel
M. Gasparin
M. Cunin- Gridaine Commerce.
M. Sauzet

M. Teste Justice.

M. de Mackau or Z
M. Tupinier S

The latest advices from Madrid are of the 24th
ult., but they are without interest. Attempts to
incite the lower classes to revolt against the Go-
vernment were discovered, and the authors seized
by the police. The question of the dissolution of
the Cortes was still agitated in the Cabinet.
(From the French,Papers of Wednesday.)

Yesterday their Majesties, accompanied by Madame
Adelaide, the Duchess of Orleans, the Princess Clemen-
:lna, the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours, the Princes of
Joinville and Wirtemberg, visited the exhibition of arts
and manufactures now open in the Champs Elysees. This
exhibition takes place every five years. On the last occa-
sion, in 1834, the King said to the manufacturers around
him, " I have full confidence that, thanks to your care,
thanks to your labours, the next exhibition. will surpass
that of 1,834 as much as that of 1834 has surpassed all the
preceding ones." This idea has been realised, and his
Majesty wac convinced yesterday that, the manufacturers
and workmen had taken care to' ealise hishopes • The Royal
party arrived at one o'clock, and was received by the Minister
of Interior, ad interim, the Prefect of the Seine, M. Bou-
lay de la Meurth, Secretary- General, M. Vincent, Director-
General of commerce and manufactures, and the members
of the jury of admission. In the galleries each exhibitor
stood by the side of the articles exhibited, and the King
entered into conversation upon the merits of very many of
the inventiens, and paid well-desert ed compliments to the
inventors. The notice of the King and Princes was at-
tracted to the produce of the mines, arms, scientific instru-
ments, and machinery, whilst that of the Queen and Prin.
cesses naturally fell upon the products of the arts, which
they love, and cultivate with so much taste and success.
The visit occupied four hours. The objects of luxury
arc particularly briiliant—the bronzes of Thomire, the im-
mense glasses of Saint Gobin, the metallic hangings, in
gold and silver thread, worthy the courts of eastern fairies.
The King himself explained many of the objects to his
family, and the Queen and Princesses expressed themselves
greatly delighted at the variety, the ingenuity, and beauty
of the immense number of objects that attracted their no-
tice on every side.
The exhibitors were enchanted with the manner of the
Royal family, which put them entirely at their ease, and
the reception given to his Majesty was at once cordial and
respectful.
The review of the National Guard of Paris, which was
to have been held on the Ist, is put off until the 20th or
24th instant, when the christening of the Count of Paris
is to take place.

BERLIN, APRIL 27.—Archbishop Dunin received the
day before yesterday a written notice that the President
Von Kleist was commissioned to acquain't him with the
sentence passed on him. On the same morning, at eleven
o'clock, the President, accompanied by one of the Judges
of the tribunal, proceeded to the Petersburg Hotel, to ex-
ecute his commission. The substance of the sentence is
as follows:
" M. Von Dunin, Archbishop of Gneser and Posen,
acquitted of the charge of treason, and of exciting the
people to revolt against the Government, but on account
of his disobedience, and his unauthorised measures in his
diocese, which have not yet been revoked, he is sentenced
to the loss of his Episcopal dignity, to six months' impri-
sonment in a fortress, and to the payment of all the costs.
At the same time, he is declared incapable of holding office
in the ;kingdom of Prussia. From this sentence he may
appeal."
The Archbishop, however, declared that he does not mean
to exercise that right, but even though he has declared his
conviction that he cannot acknowledge the competency of
the Court before which he was tried, will readily submit
to the punishment awarded against him. He said yester-
day to one of his intimate acquaintances " The loss of my
bishopric with the advantages annexed to it, does not
affect me ; if I had valued it above my conscience these
processes would not have taken place. I only regret
having been brought into difference with a Monarch whom
I personally and most sincerely honour. lam an old
man, and shall pass the evening of my life in prayers for
my friends and my enemies."
We learn from good authority that M. Von Dunin is to
remain at present in Berlin in the enjoyment of entire
liberty, only on condition that he shall not quit the capi.
tal without the permission of the Ministers of State,
Baron Altensten and Von Roche:v. Thus, then, the pro-
ceedings against the Archbishop are ended.
_BRUNSWICK, APRIL 26.--His Majesty the King of Hano-
ver arrived here yesterday. accompanied by, Princes Ber-
nard and William of Solms Braunfels, to be present at the
celebration of the Duke's birthday. His Majesty and the
two Princes return to Hanover on the 27th.

The Duke of NEWCASTLE has now been dis-
missed three days, and none of his Tory friends
have inquired in Parliament the cause of his dis-
missal. Have they cut him ? Is lie abandoned
already "of his velvet friends ?" Is his own
party ashamed of him ? We are anxious to see
the wise Duke's letter ; we know he is a great
author, and surely some of his friends will cause
the sublime production of his pen to be made
public at the expense of the nation.

SLANDERING AN ATTORNEY.--.ln the She
riff's Court, yesterday, a country attorney brought an
action for slander against a quondam client. The prin-
cipal charge was, that defendant had repeatedly called the
professional gentleman " a regular muff"—a term which
Mr. Adolphus, who appeared for the plaintiff, professed
himself unable, with all his Old Bailey experience, to ex-
plain. The Jury awarded one shilling damages.

Pauline Garcia is announced to appear for the
first time on the stage on Thursday next. Her engage-
ment, as we understand, is only for six nights, two of
which are to be given as extra nights in her interest, and
four as subscription nights, an arrangement somewhat si-
milar to that made with Madame Pasta on her late visit to
England. _ _

FATAL COACH ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday
evening, a little girl was knocked down and killed by the
horses of a Maidstone coach, in the Greenwich-road, near
the Green Man gate. No blame is attached to the driver.
