Church—too many intolerant bigots, who can sanc-
tion nothing that is liberal, or that differs in any
way from their own contracted notions ; but it is some
consolation that the high places in the Establishment
are undergoing a purification ; and that such men at,
Dr. STANLEY, men who combine high talents and
great learning with rational piety, are put:where their
influence will be most beneficially felt.

The question of the Ballot is, as we anticipated,
rapidly making converts, thanks to the intrigues of
the Tories, whose fate it seems to be to give an im-
petus to every public question against which they most
decidedly set their faces. They carried Reform by
their fanatical opposition to it, and in a short time we
shall find them carrying the Ballot, though less by
their hostility, than by those flagrant mal-practices
which they have resorted to so shamelessly during the
past elections. Among the most recent converts
to this great question we may mention Mr. DENI-
SON, who, in a recent address to the electors of
the Western Division of Surrey, says, " I shall
make no comment upon the conduct of our wealthy
and powerful political opponents, only that they have
compelled me reluctantly to support the Ballot—a
measure which I have always opposed, but which, I
am now convinced, is the only method to protect the
honest and conscientious elector in the humbler vkalks
of life, in the exercise of his franchise." Possibly
our readers may imagine that this is the language of a
disappointed candidate, who, stung to the quick by
his ill success, is resolved to revenge himself on the
Tory faction, who have brought about his defeat.
But it is not so. So far from being the beaten party,
Mr. DENISON is the victorious one, having been
placed at the head of the poll, notwithstanding all
the machinations of his opponents. Tory magi-
strates, Tory parsons, and Tory squires, together with
a whole host of sttbordinate auxiliaries, combined
against him ; the most corrupt influences were exerted
without scruple ; yet he still maintained his posi-
tion on the poll—" like Teneriffe or Atlas unre-
moved." If, therefore, he be now an advocate for the
Ballot, it cannot possibly be from any personal feel-
ings ; spleen and disappointment can have had no
hand in his conversion ; it must have been the slowly
formed result of a long and dispassionate consideration
of all the pros and cons of the question. We lay the
greater stress on Mr. DENISON'S conversion, because
he is a tried, experienced politician, who does not ad-
vocate opinions from mere impulse, or the sanguine
confidence of youth, but from the deliberate convic-
tions of a cool and matured judgment. He sees that
the Ballot is indispensable ; that the unconstitutional
influences exercised by the Tory party at elections can-
not be put a stop to without it ; that, in fact, the
Reform Bill is incomplete, and all hope of effectual
legislative improvement a mere mockery, without it ;
and seeing this, he has come to the opinion, that the
sooner the question is carried, the better. His con-
version will have the effect of fixing many waverers,
and giving just the fitting impetus to the Ballot.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL may again and again insist, as
he did lately at Stroud, that this measure is by no
means of a pressing nature, and that, all things
considered, we are far better without, than with, it ;
but he may depend on it that the time is not far
distant, when it will be carried triumphantly, despite
all the opposition that he and his colleagues may offer
to it. The " pressure from without" will bear down
all the hostility from within, for party is not para-
mount now as it was in the old days of Whiggism and
Toryism ; and on no question is the " steam" getting
up with greater vigour, than on that of the Ballot, as
may be seen by the increased number of its supporters
in the House of Commons.

To the arrival in the Channel of the packet ship
St. Andrew are we indebted for New York Papers to
the 25th ult. inclusive. The St. Andrew sailed from
New York on the 24th, and on Wednesday last hove
in sight of the Cove of Cork, where she landed a num-
ber of her passengers, with letters and papers, which
were speedily forwarded to their respective destinations.
This vessel is bound for Liverpool, but having a
strong easterly gale to contend with in the Channel, it
was feared that she would not be able to make that
port before the beginning of the week. The news of
the effect produced in England by the suspension of
cash payments by the United States' banks had
reached New York previous to the sailing of the
St. Andrew, and produced very general satisfac-
tion. It seems that many influential American houses
laboured under the apprehension that their suspension
of cash payments would involve this country in a si-
milar calamity ; and they were greatly surprised to
learn that no such occurrence had been so touch as
dreamt of in England. The latest accounts received
from England were to the 14th of June by the packet
ship Westminster; but as the St. Andrew was clearing
out she was hailed by the Roscoe, from Liverpool, enter-
ing with intelligence to the 25th inclusive. The St. An-
drew brings on account 300,000 dollars, and the Havre
packet, which sailed the same day,500,000. Freights to
Liverpool and Havre were rather dull, and the business
in bills of exchange very limited. The rate of ex-
change on England was from 18 to 20 premium ; and
United States Bank Stock averaged 113 i. The ac-
counts from the cotton-growing districts were very
favourable. An unusually abundant crop was anti-
cipated, which would right the balance between Eng-
land and the States. The prices of specie on the 24th
ult. in New York were :

Offered. Asked.
American gold lOB 109
Sovereigns
Spanish doubloons
French franc pieces ....
Spanish doubloons 17.00 17.75
Patriot ditto
Half-dollars

The New York Morning Courier, in directing at-
tention to the intelligence from Europe, of the 24th of
June, observes We look upon the news from
England respecting our suspension of specie payments
as decidedly favourable—for it has caused no panic
(i. e. in England). The darkest day of commercial
gloom is past, and we may safely look forward to
a general improvement in every department of
business." The New York Gazette of the 19th is
equally confident of a speedy change for the better.
" Our money matters," states the latter Journal,
" wear a favourable aspect. Specie continues to de-
cline. The Bank Commissioners are acting like men,
in using every exertion to place the country institu-
tions in a situation to start with the city Banks in the
resumption of specie payments, whenever that desir-
able state of things can be safely brought about ; and
we have good reason for believing that it can be
brought about within a few months, if an honourable
and liberal course is pursued towards them." This is
a cheering announcement, as the course to be adopted
will be regulated by Congress, which cannot be pre-
surnedpolcy
capable of sanctioning a dishonourable or illi-
beral towards establishments, whose support
involves the welfare, and public and private credit of
the Federal Government.
Of news apart from monetary transactions we find
none of any moment in the NOV York papers of a
strictly domestic character. Throughout the Union
nothing is talked of but the fluctuations in the Money-
Market.

From Canada, however, we have an abundance of
distressing intelligence to make up for the absence of
Cpl .'nits n dct?.i!:,: In tl3e New York journalq. Lord
JOHN RUSSELL'S celebrated Resolusions are produc-
ing the sad consequences which we so loudly, so ear-

nestly, and so unavailingly predicted when they were
before Parliament. So strongly did the PAPINEAU
party resent the outrage offered them by his Lord-
ship's preposterous and insulting resolutions, that the
Lieutenant-Governor, in order to preserve the peace of
the Province, was under the necessity of making se-
veral arrests, and calling out the troops to protect the
officers of the Executive in the discharge of their duty.
Who is so blind as not to see in these demonstrations
the fore-shadowing of events which may terminate in
the independence of the Canadas ?

The whole of the French papers of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received, but they contain no domes-
tic news with the exception of a rumour of the appear-
ance of cholera at Marsailles, which will be found an-
nexed. From Spain we are favoured with the fol
lowing telegraphic despatches, upon which our extracts
from the Madrid Journals of the 12th supply all that
can be said by way of comment :

" MARSEILLES, AUG. 17, 11 O'CLOCK.—On the 6tb, the
garrison of Valencia was under arms, in consequence of the
appearance of the insurgents, commanded by Sanz. Go-
neral Oraa, having learned at Castellon the position in
which this town was placed, set out on the 3th for Murviedo,
ready to march against Chive, where the divisions of San;
Forcadell, and Tallada were waiting for him. It was said
that Don Carlos was at Villareal. The Eagle was in the
roadstead of Valencia. These details were brought yes-
tesday by the packet the Iliediterranee, which will depart
again on the 20th for Port d'Dspagne and Malaga."
" NARBONNE, AUG. 18, 5 O'CLOCK. PERPIGNAN, AUG.
17.—0 n the 12th, it was believed at Valencia that the Pre-
tender, who was at Mirambel on the 10th, had marched
to yards Madrid on learning the capture of Segovia. Oraa
was, on the 11th, at Segorbe, on the point of setting out
for Teruel. There were 1,200 of the Queen's soldiers at
the hospital of Valencia."
The cholera is at Marseilles ; and, though it is not very
♦iolent, there are from eight to twenty deaths daily. Among
the •ictims is M. Menard, Colonel on the staff of the division,
who was ill only twenty-four hours.—Le Constitutionel,
19th Aug.
We find, by accounts from Barcelona of the 11th, that
an English squadron under the command of Admiral Sir
Robert Stopford, is at Barcelona, and that there has
already been an engagement between the troops of Trislany
and 300 men landed from one of the English ships. Thus
England does not abandon its system of armed intervention
in Spain, when it can serve as a pretext to seize on parts of
the coast favourable for carrying on a contraband trade.

The following deeply interesting extract from a let-
ter from Messina, dated the 27th of July, has been
forwarded to us from a highly respectable quarter. It
informs us of the murder of the Governor of Syracuse
in an insurrection of the populace of that city. The
present state of the TWO Sicilies is truly alarming
" The cholera being raging at Naples, Palermo, and
Malta, we are shut out from all communications with these
places ; it has now spread to Termini, Cifalsi, and Syra-
cuse, and we may naturally expect it soon here. At
Naples and Palervoo there have been many victims among
the English and American merchants, all friends and ac-
quaintances of ours. We have had a revolt here of the
populace, which, however, was soon quelled without blood-
shed, and we, together with the natives, have mounted
guard, being formed into national guard for the protection
of property and our lives ; and as most of the ringleaders
have been arrested and imprisoned, all is now quiet.
Another revolt was effected at. Syracuse, but far different
from the one here—the Governor, a particular friend of
ours, and seven other persons, being brutally massacred.
The former had escaped to a grotto in the ancient cata-
combs, about five miles from the city, and was dragged
out and carried to the gates, there pinioned, a rope placed
round his neck, and dragged through the town at the tail
of a horse to the square, stabbed, and finally tied to a stake
and shot, his body cut into quarters, and his head carried
on a pole. Greater barbarity was scarcely ever heard of.
Two Commissioners of Police, the Attorney-General and
Receiver-General were among the victims. At Palermo
another revolt took place, but was quelled by the arrival
of 9,000 troops from Naples, and we now hope all will be
quiet.

We have letters and papers from Madrid to the
13th inst. ; but though they are full of details
of the
capture of Segovia, the mountain marches of MEN-
DEz VIGO, the alertness of EsPARTERO, the enthu-
siasm of the National Guards, the intrepidity of the
QUEEN, the noisiness of the Cortes, and the noncha-
lance of Ministers, they contain nothing to which we
can give the name of important news. EsPARTERO
at the head of four squadrons of cavalry, entered Ma-
drid on the 12th ; but he only remained in the city a
few hours before marching out to attack the enemy.
MENDEZ VIGO and A LVAREz were both unpopular
in Madrid, and it was even whispered that both
could be easily reconciled to the idea of sceinj
DON
CARLOS master of the capital and kingdom.
In the sitting of the 12th the Cortes voted the intro-
duction of the project of law for raising a forced loan
of five hundred millions of reals (five millions ster-
ling) for defraying the expense of the civil war. That
no time might be lost in reaping the fruits of so gene-
rous a vote, M. MENDIZABAL proceeded at once to
the Lottery-office, and appropriated 25,000 dollars of
the funds to meet the more immediate exigencies. This
money is to be repaid out of the loan.

On the 11th, the Pretender, with four battalions,
passed the Alhambra, and on ti7e day following Cella,
