STATIONERS' PROVIDENT SOCIETY. -- Oa
Tuesday a highly respectable meeting took place at the
London Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of
adopting certain.regulations preparatory to the establish-
ment of an Institution for the Relief and Support of
Persons connected with the Stationary Trade, when
reduced in circumstances. Sir J. Williams presided,
and Mr. Jackson briefly detailed the objects contem-
plated by the meeting. The several rules framed as the
basis of the Society were then read over seriatim, and
agreed to with amendments. The meeting shortly after.
wards separated, with the understanding that a larger
assemblage should be convened on an early day, for the
purpose of carrying into effect the resolutions adopted
on the present occasion.
ISLINGTON LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC IN-
STITUTION.—On Monday evening the first concert of
the season (a miscellaneous selection) was given in th:,
elegant theatre of the above institution. The vocal
exertions of Misses Jenkins and Cubitt were much
applauded, as were also the respective solo perfor-
mances of Messrs. Baumann on the bassoon, and Willy
on the violin. The theatre was well filled, and the
whole arrangement appeared to give general satisfaction.
BURGHLEY HOUSE.—This princely residence of
the Marquis of Exeter has been undergoing great im-
provements lately. fhe Noble Lord is restoring several
of the state rooms to their former splendour. The
spacious banquetting hall, in which are some fine speci-
mens of carving in oak, is nearly finished, and the
suite of state rooms in the north front has been entirely
refurnished. One of these rooms has a splendid em.
broidered satin state bed fitted up with great taste.
This magnificent bed has, we bear, been just com-
pleted by a lady, the daughter of a deceased Oliver iu
yrdean-street. I the army._ •

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In the report of the case of the `• Qeeen v.

discharged, each paying his own costs. The rule was
discharged, on payment of all costs by Mr. Howard,

in your next.
We are, Sir, your obedient servants,

THE NEWARK ELECTION.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Newark, Wednesday, Nov. 27, 1839.
Being quite sure that your readers throughout
the kingdom will be anxious to know what are
the prospects of success on the part of the Solicitor-
General (Mr. Sergeant Wilde), as resulting from
the present state of his canvass, I am happy to in-
form you that the firmest reliance on his re-election
may be indulged. He is universally popular; his
long connection with the borough, and attention to
its interests ; his distinction as a Parliamentary
debater ; his advocacy of the Ballot, as to which
there are strong grounds for feeling here ; his Li-
beral politics generally ; all render him a great fa-
vourite with this constituency.
The Tories are active, very ; but it won't do :
their day is past for returning two Members for
Newark.

Madrid Papers of the 23d ult.. have been received,
with letters from San Sebastian of the 24th, and from
Alcandre, the present head quarters of ESPARTERO
of the 23d. In the Gazette of the 22d we
find an official announcement of the defeat of
the Carlist el lief BALMASEDA by a Christino
force, commanded by Colonel SCHELZ, in which
" glorious action" the rebels lost ten men made
prisoners! With despatches containing accounts of
such victories are the official columns of the Gazette
regularly filled. Of more important news we find not
a syllable in the Papers and letters received this morn-
ing, with the exception of the announcement that Gen.
CORDOVA has escaped to Portugal.

tion, to exhaust the subject. Each part has the aci':::%-
tage of being embellished wi!li several ingenious
cuts, one of tvhich, illustrative of the strain-er:iy,n,:

THE CATHOLIC MAGAZINE.

The first article will be read wit!, more avidity-than
profit, even by Roman Catholics. It is a account of

. _
the conversion of the Hon. and Rev. George Spencer,
to the Catholic faith, written at Rome in 1831, by the.
Rev. Convert, at the request of the Bishop of Oppido,
an Italian Prelate of some note. We cannot say that
its perusal has tended to impress us with a very high
le=t cot for the rationat:ve faculties of the Hor. and Rev.
Gentleman, though it is conclusive as to the simplicityof
his life, and the correctness of his motives. The article
on Lord Durham's Canadian Report is replete with in-
formation respecting the actual condition of the habilans
and the state of the Catholic rcligion,in the Lower Pro.
vince. " 80-Peep" has more humour than common
tense. His strictures on the Irish Poor Law Bill are
only too seriously put to be exceedingly laughable.
'File reports of the proceedings at the Catholic Insti-
tute are of no interest save to Catholic readers. 'f his
periodical is respectably conducted, but as the only
monthly organ of the Catholic body in falls short of our
expectations.

YICITIOLAS NICKLEBY.

are some capital scenes in this Number, un-
s?snd in rich humour by anything Boa has yet
.!lptal. The character of Mrs. Nickleby, too, who
.rto bag been something of a bore, comes out in a
not,,t ludicrous manner in the course of her interview
with the maniac, her next-door neighbour, in whose
icwinesi, prompted by her vanity, for the man has been
rilking desperate love to her, she of course refuses to

1 t',,!r

I.),lie.ve. We wish we could extqact the whole of
this diverting dialogue, but unfortuntifely it is too long
for quotation. In lieu, therefore, of it, we will quote
the account of the quarrel that takes place between
Miss Squeers and her young married friend, Mrs.
Browdie, in consequence of the former having overheard
come disparaging remarks made on her during her ab-
Jlee. by the Latter :
" Do you know, Mr. Nickleby," said Mrs. Browdie,
with her archest smile, "that I really think Fanny Squeers
vi:ry fond of you?'
I arts very much obliged to her," said Nicholas; "but,
I,p2r, my word, I never aspired to making any impression
yirgin heart."
• 11.,:v you talk I " tittered Mrs. Browdie. " No, but
do you know that really—seriously now, and without
a joking--I was given to understand by Fanny herself,
that you had made an offer to her, and that you two were
going to be engaged quite solemn and regular."
‘• Was you, ma'am—was you? " cried a shrill female
" was you given to understand that I-I—was
to be engaged to an assassinating thief that shed the
,are of my 'pa ? Do you—do you think, ma'am—that I
was very fond of such dirt beneath my feet, as I couldn't
condesend to touch kitchen tongs, without blacking
c:o.king myself by the contract? Do you, ma'am_
do you ? Ohl base and degrading 'Tilde !"
With these reproaches Miss Squeers flung the door
widc open, and disclo!ed to the eyes of the astonished
Browdics and Nicholas, not only her own symmetrical
fee m, arrayed in the chaste white garments before de-
s: Jibed (a little dirtier), but the form of her brolher and
fiith(.r, the pair of Wackfords.
'lbis is the hend, is it?" continued Miss Squeers, who,
c7.cited, aspirated her h's strongly; " this is the
en', is it, of all my forbearance and friendship for that
-,10.:e-faccd thing—that viper, that—that—mermaid ? "
Squeers hesitated a long time for this last epithet,
I brought it out triumphantly at last, as if it quite
h,ci the business.) " This is the bend, is it, of all
',..arirg with her deceitfulness, her lowness, her false-
her laying herself out to catch the admiration of vul-
"-Ids, 'in a way which made me" blush for my—

" C;el.z.ler," suggested Mr. Squeers, regarding the
eetaters with a malevolent eye—literally a malevolent

Y,,5," said Miss Squeers; "but I think my stars
that my 'ma is of the same--"

h-ar " remarked Mr. Squcers ; " and I wish
R a3.here.to have a scratch at this company."

1

1 This is the bend, is it," said Miss Squeer-s, tossing her
heA3, a: id lodking contemptuously at the floor, " of my
ta7,.i!q.5-, notice of that rubbishing creature, and demeaning
i Inys;: If to patronise her?''
I‘- Oh, ccme," rejoined Mrs. Browdie, disregarding all
11-!e ehdeavocra of her spouse to restrain her, and forcing

into a front row, "don't talk such nonsense as that:"
" Have I not Fatroaised you, ma'am ?" demanded Miss
Sqq:ers .

No," returned Mrs. Browdie.
" I Will not look for blushes in such a quarter," said
Squecrs, haughtily, " for that countenance is a
to everything but bignotniaious and red-faced

I sly," interposed John Browdie, nettled by these ac-
r cumulated attacks on his wife, " dra' it mild, dra' it mild."
" You, Mr. Browdie," said Miss Squcers, taking him
,3p very quickly, " I pity. I have no feeling for you, sir,
but one of unliluidated pity."
" Oh 1" said John.

" No," F. aid Miss Squeers, looking sideways at her
parent, " although I am a queer bridesmaid, and shan't be
a I,rlie in a hurry, and although my husband will be in
I entertain no sentiments towards you, sir, but senti-
liwuts of pity."
IL re Miss Squeers looked sideways at her father again,
who I,oli,ed sideways at her, as much as to say, " There
i you had him." •

The final and amicable settlement of the Boundary
Question between Great Britain and the United
States is not likely to be promoted by the further
discussion of newspapers upon the subject. Bad
blood may be engendered, hostile prejudices re-
vived, and national jealousies excited, by intempe-
rate denunciations of this or that policy ; but we
believe that every honest friend of England and
America will rather seek to promote a spirit of mu-
tual forbearance between the two Governments than
to foster sentiments which it would be well for both
bad never an existence. In this spirit we quote the
following observations from the Observer (
Diinis-
ter;al Journal) of yesterday, in answer to some
very ill-judged remarks of the Times upon this very
delicate, but at the same time, highly important
subject
\V feel great reluctance in provoking angry discussion
upon the question now Fending between her Majesty and
the United States of America, lest we should do public
mischief by exasperating the people of one country or the
other. That question has become the subject of serious
negotiations between the two Governments ; and, involving,
as it does, PEACE or WAR, we should have been content to-
await silently the issue, did we not find that the Times,
a journal of most extensive circulation, has published
an
article but too well calculated to mislead the public. The
article in our Morning Contemporary professes to be an
answer to the Globe evening paper, and proceeds all
through upon the assumption that Viscount Palmerston is
the author of the remarks which it answers. Now, our
Morning Contemporary a ell knows that nothing can be
more absurd than to attribute to this personage or to that
articles appearing in newspapers. Our Contemporary itself
has had occasion, more than once, to protest against such
reports, and therefore it should know that, as a weapon of
party warfare, it is wholly unworthy of any respectable
Journal. When the Times attributed to Viscount Pal-
merston the article in the Globe, and sought to fasten
upon his Lordship, exclusively, the opinions of that paper,
it must have forgotten that upon such a vital subject the
Minister for Foreign Affairs can be but the organ of the
whole Cabinet, and that irreparable injury may be done to
the public service if the hasty expressions of a newspaper
were, in every instance, to be mistaken for the deliberate
decision of the Sovereign's Council.
We cannot avoid noticing here a case of downright mis-
representation by the Times. Our Contemporary says,
" Our firm; charge against Lord Palmerston is, that du-
ring eight whole years hc made no proposal of honest or
permanent arrangement." Now, we entreat our Contem-

The receipts of the octroi or municipal tax also exhibit
a great falling off. The spring orders have been SUS-

In fact the funds are the only exception to the general
complaint, and they have been sustained by a combination
which has resorted to the tours moyen, with success up to

" It is certain," says a letter from Vienna,.quoted by the

Government. The rate of interest is not, it is believed,
yet fixed, but is expected to be 4 per cent.

A Gallo. Roman skeleton was found, a few days ago,
buried at the depth of only 18 inches below the surface, in
the forest of Maulevrier, near Caudebec. Near it were
found a Roman clasp, two Roman medals, and two but-
tons. The skeleton is supposed to have been preserved by
the aridity of the soil.

THE GAMBLING HOUSES OF LONDON.—
There is great difficulty in exposing the gambling houses
of London, because the public notice of any one of them,
however infamous it may be, is an advertisement of its
existence. Therefore we suppose it is that the press, as
well as the law, is asleep on a subject so important to the
morals of the town. There is not a street in the parish
of St. James which has not one of these dens of iniquity
flourishing under the eyes of the public. Some of them
are got up in the first style of luxury, where heavy stakes
alone are played for, while others are laid out on a prin-
ciple of strict economy ; the smallest silver coin is received,
and clerks and apprentices mix with thieves and swindlers.
The boldness with which all.carry on their trade is a matter
of notoriety; but we had no idea that the force of impu.
dence could go so far as we see it has done by the following
advertisement which we find in the Paris Galzgnani of
the 19th of March. We see it there announced that in a
leading street in London a public gaming table, with a
capital of 30,000/, is open to all the world, and that dupes
from every quarter are invited to it. We submit flip
advertisement to the Magistrates of Westmidster, who
cannot be ignorant where that locality is, in the hopes
that shame, if not a sense of duty will induce them to take
some measures for its suppression.—Morning Herald.

CHURCH-RATES REFUSED.—A- vestry was
held in the parish church of Lianegryn, Merionethshire,
last week, for the purpose of granting a Church-rate for
the exigencies of the ensuing year. Mr. John Jones, of
Glanmaehlas, in the chair. The Churchwarden moved
that a rate of a penny in the pound be granted, when an
amendment was proposed and carried, that the question be
adjourned for twelve months.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.

ummences, is a generous tribute to the merits of a
writer who has rendered important service to the coun-
ry by his publications. Previous to Mr. Martin's ap-
pear,inee in the field of colonial investigation, the Sta-
tstics of four-fifths of our Foreign possessions were
:rere guess-work in Parliament ; nor was it

deemed possible, even by such hard working men
a' Mr. Hume, for any one person during a life-time to
collt,ct and arrange them correctly, and methodically.
Mr. Montgomery Martin has, however, accomplished
this stupendous labour, and what is more surprising still,
17as done it well. The review of Mrs. Ellis' "Women
Er.gland," is written in an equally candid spirit. The
writer is occasionally eloquent, but what Irishman who
ha.,' visited England could be tame in describing the
v:rtucs and graces of our fair country-women ? We
.have also able and discriminating reviews of Bartlet's
of Bishop Butler ; Stephens' Travels in Greece ;
and the already published numbers of that sterling
ilork, the Pictorial edition of Sbakspere. The " Poly-
glott Aotholegy " is a capital performance, though we
should like it better were the writer less lavish of a large
s:,);,k of indifferent puns. Upon the whole this is a good
number, but it wants that variety which reco:ncnc nds
periodicals to the notice of a large class of
read,,cs.

This Is a far more amusing number than its prol2-
cessor, and contains more than one clever, rapid, di.-
logue, as fell of life as the best in Nicholas Nicklebv.
But Mrs. Trollope, if she really desire to effect good,
must beware of her besetting sin—exaggerating. VwTe
can allow of this in a mere work of fiction, such as the
" Widow Barnaby ;" but in a story meant in stib-r

AMERICAN METHOD OF FILLING

ICE-HOUSES.

Passing the Church, a
itself, which had just been shot from some carts ; se-
veral men were employed preparing it for the ice-house.
Captain Raymond, eyeing them with a look;of astonish-
ment, exclaimed, " I guess I don't know what those
fellows are smashing that ice for." We explained to
him it was a necessary process prior to its being
put in the ice-house for next summer's supply.
The proceedings appeared too strange to be true,
he knew the story of the American sea-serpent to be
true, in fact, he had seen one himself three miles long,
but he could'not swallow this ice story, therefore went
into the ice-house to convince himself that such things
were done in England. He not only saw it broken
outside, but pounded in. On his return, Eliza very
naturally said, " this is something new to you, you care
not for what we call luxuries in England." He
replied, " Oh, yes we do, only we get them much
easier, and in more perfection in the States," " In-
deed, pray tell us how you manage matters there ?"
" Why, our ice wells are ten times the size of that, and
we have not a tenth the trouble to fill them ; nature does
the work for us : all the effects of climate. We fill them
half full of water one day, and it is frozen into one mass
the next ; we then pump it full, and in four and twenty
hours it becomes one solid ball of ice, and would remain
so to eternity, if we did not use it before that time I ! I"

CA UTION.—TIIE MORNING PAPERS AT A
CHEAP RATE.-_A friend of ours, seeing an advertisement
in the Times, that a newspaper agent in Aldersgate-street,
London, would send persons in the country the Morning
Papers on the evening of their publication, for ten shillings
a quarter, to be paid in advance, sent that sum to that gen-
tleman early in March, from whom ho in a most irregular
manner received about half a dozen papers, but then they
were finally stopt, and numerous others have been duped
in a similar way.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

Ey the operation of the same new principles, the Society is
enabled to afford to the public a plan of DEFER RED ANNUITIES
far more advantageous than any hitherto offered, whereby an
individual, by the contribution of a very small annual,
monthly, or weekly saving, may secure either a comfortable
provision for himself in advanced age, or at his option, a large
sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death.
The industrious classes, hitherto obliged to resort to Savings'
Banks and Benefit Societies, will find in this scheme a far safer
and more profitable application of their savings. This Society
is enabled, by judicious and accurate calculations, to afford a
Deferred Annuity of a much greater amount than has hitherto
been offered, beside, the option of exchanging this annuity
when payable, for a large sum in cash, or a still larger Policy,
payable without premiums at death ; while, by giving to the
purchaser, at any time preceding the stipulated term of the
Annuity scommencement, the power of borrowing two-thirds
of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from
inability to continue premiums, besides affording ass ample re-
source during sickness and want of employment ; and, should
the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The purchaser has also the power of converting, en equal terms,
his deferred into a prese A Annuity.
The following tables are a specimen of the great and varied
advantages which the judicious application of a small saving can
secure through the Society.

We drew attention yesterday to the remarkable
sircumatance connected with our cotton trade which
was mentioned by Mr. FI EL DEN ; and a scarcely less
I remarkable circumstance connected with the money
\market of the United States was on Thursday men-
'lolled in the City article of the Times. As the
Americans have no great supply of spare capital,
borrowing, in fact, from all the countries of Europe,
particularly from our own, it is plain that it is by
the assistance of the English capitalists that the
1 Ambrican bankers are enabled to lay on us a tax,
1 through our cotton, and to thwart their own Go-
verrent, as described in the following article :

BOULOGNE SUR-3IER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sirt)--As you or some of your friends may at times
wish to enjoy the refreshing sea breezes and amuse-
ments that are to be procured on this side the water,
particularly at this favoured town, at little exc i
.
"tienlase of money, but more particularly comfort an
e trust you will insert the following re
tnarks for the good of the public, and also that the better judgment of the Directors of the
Farnmercial Steam Company will induce them
ltbandon this absurd plan, and consult more the com-
fort of the passengers and their own interest, for sure I
", if they persist in this not only lubberly, but danger-
-91.14 and expensive experiment, that as far as Boulogne
".neerned, it will be " adieu la voiture, adieu la
danger-
0s with them.
ad'rhe Commercial Steam Packet Company having
ertised for this month the days and hours of sailing of
tteir Packets from London, for this port, viz., every
the laY morning at 10 o'clock, I consider it right to warn
''" Public of the inconvenience and delay they will ex-
al.}ri:nee
.Y leaving London on certain days by thet
it °•ii ZelBels ;—for instance, on Sunday the 7th ins
t.,
"e high water here at 4h. 54m. p.m.,
.and
theo
vessels•Y 21st instant, at 511. 34m. p.m., so allowing
twelve hto make their passages in the. usual time, 'viz
ours, they will arrive off this port from five to
84. hours after high water, consequently exposed to
wind
follom Weather in this wild road-stead, and until the
or nYnng Monday morning, after having been eighteen
Ineteen hours on the passage, instead of only twelve
alurs,a hi
at which they would be, if the tides were properly
eculth
the Company's Office. It would seem
9theat the sufrerinffsof a prolonged sea-sickness and
r miseries, as also the injury to the Company, has not
be
ena their beep considered by the Directors, but passengers should
guard,, to avoid annoyances and delay, which
:fleY
ainevitably experience if they leave London, in
'4 bove vessels, on the days herein mentioned.
It is also to be observed that the Calais steamers, on
e
°awe days, will leave London at four in the morn-
will reach and will reach (most probably) their destination by
'nur in the afternoon of the same day, while the unfor-
tortunates on board the Boulogne boat, will have to en-
e the fatigues of an 18 hours' imprisonment, exposed
th_e westward spring up, a thing by no means improbable
9n this coast, at all times of the year ; and perhaps, as
It often happens, they rill at last be obliged to bear up for
shelter for Ramsgate. These remarks arise from no
other motive than a wish for the good of the public, as
well as a strong feeling and interest, that I, as well as
many others take in the prosperity and success of the
establishment. I remain, Sir,
