CITY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CIC.
Our arrivals this morning arc an Ostend mail, and ship-
letters &cm Mauritius, and New York to 14th March.
We have received the New York Papers by the West-
chester to the 14th March.
The following extracts are from the Papers of the
above date :—" Our advices from the disputed terri-
tory, this morning, are all in the shape of letters. The
Maine Papers contain nothing later than we gave yester-
day. The letters are mostly to the Editors of tha Boston
Journals, and agree in stating one piece of intelligence
somewhat inte7esting, that Sir John Harvey had despatched
a corps of engineers, to take possession of and fortify the
elevation known as Mars Hill. The elevation, the letters
say, is within the State of Maine, being west of the
boundary; but they also say that a portion of it extends
over the line, into the province of New Brunswick.
" Assuming this to be the case, we cannot perceive that
there is anything ' so exciting' in the news."
Exchange on England, 94 ; United Bank Shares, 1144.
From New Brunswick, we have St. John's Gazettes of
the 28th February, from which we make the following ex-
tracts :

LATE FROM FREDERICTON.--There is no truth in the
statement that the militia has been ordered from Frede-
ricton to the disputed territory. They were on Thursday
last performing garrison duty at head-quarters.
We have advices from Houlton to the 6th, and from
No. 10 on the Aroostook to the sth, when all was quiet.
The American troops now mustered at, and close to the
frontier, are about 4,000 able bodied men. The British
have as yet only half that number, including the Regulars.
The British have an arsenal at. Lake Temiswuta, in the
disputed territory ; some of the rash officers in the Maine
Militia wish to push through from Jarvis's Camp on the
Aroostook to a point that will command the Saint John's,
and thus induce the Canadian French population of Mada.
tratta, about 4,000 in number, to join them.
The general state of affairs seems to be this—The Pro-
vincials hare their forces on the St. John's, above the
Grand Falls, and our troops are mustering upon the
Aroostook, and both are actively engaged in blocking up
the only road which debouehes from the valley of the
Aroostook to the St. John.
The general opinion of influential men in New York
seems to be that the two countries will not be plunged in
a war with each other. The views of General Scott and
Senator Williams are decidedly pacific.
MONEY MARKET.--The position of financial affairs in
the United States is at this time very similar to that in
which that' were placed in the fall of 1836. a few months
previous to the suspension ; this arises front various causes,
but principally from the aspect of the Maine Boundary.
The panic at the Stock Exchange increase;
seems to
prices to-day have gone down (13th March), with increased
per tentage; there was a great disposition to sell, and
the reduced rates induced buyers to take hold, in the hope
of a rally.
The arrival this morning of most importance is from the
United States to the 15th, by the packet ship Westchester,
upon the whole the news (received here, and in the Ame-
rican papers) which will be found in another part of our
Paper, are rather of a favourable nature, although each
party are bringing up their forces to the disputed territory,
Maine, and preparing in case of war ; but the previ-
lent opinion of the well informed at New York is, that no
hostilities would take place; most of the American Stocks
were very heavy, and looking down; money was also very
tight, and business dull.
This being Account day for Consols the Brokers and
Jobbers arc busy in arranging their differences.

EVE N ING 1-41DITION•

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL

SUMMARY.

The Times of this morning, alluding indirectly to some•
leading articles that have recently appeared in the Chron-
icle, advocating further reforms in the Constitution, says:--
" The movement jolts on in its vocation. The press of the
dictatorship is still busy ; and if we be not all burhamized
within another month, it is not from any sensible relaxation
in the work of projected mischief. The new, or Durham
scheme of Reform, professes, by means of Universal Suf-
frage, to place the nation's destiny in its own hands.' Sal,
rather, in the hands of a numerical majority, composed
of one especial class or section of the people, with view'
more short-sighted, with an horizon at once more clouded
and more curtailed, with minds more prejudiced, wit
words more pressing, with passions more inflamed, wit
judgments less enlightened, with impulses more monoto-
nous and headlong, and with arms more herculean, than
all the rest of society put together. If this be the fashion
after which the destinies of the nation are to be placed
in
its own haods, all we can say is, that it would show equal
wisdom, to vest the destinies of literature or science in the
hands of those who cannot read or write, as the fate of our
national policy in those who exist by manual labour'
and that if the blind are warned against the Peril
of lending the blind, much more forcible should be
the admonition against the employment of the stone'
blind in leading the clear-sighted to destruction." °ne
Contemporary contains another leading article on the sub-
ject of Dissenters and the Voluntary system, and of coarse
blows the trumpet of opposition against both, especially
Voluntaryism.
The Morning Pest observes, in reference to the 111)4
preaching important discussion on the 15th—" The Minis;
terialists who anticipate a paltry majority, already talk .9!
the victory which is to be obtained over the Tories in .11
conflict brought on by themselves. What class of fools Is
it that this misrepresentation will go down with ? Be
the
event•of the conflict what it may, it has been sought by tb e
Ministers. The Ministers have gone out of their way
invite a collision between the two Houses of Parliament'
which for some spacial reason of their own, they have e°e„eli
clued expedient et this particular juncture." In a *Nit':
leading article on the subject of the recent remarks le
the Chronicle respecting further Reforms, our Coetetnci
Rorary says, " The line of argument and policy Purs?e,
and recommended by the once crawling, now cantinii°
Chronicle, is attributed to a determination to advance t
purposes, and aid the power, of that, amiable and desP°ut°.
Liberal, the Earl of Durham. That such is- the °Wee,.
not less than the tendency of our renegade ContemporarY..:
diurnal lucubrations, may be inferred from the imPes'rig,
bility, on any other hypothesis, of explaining the new-b°„
Jacobinisrn of the late organ of the Melbourne Whiglihat
The Morning Chronicle, commenting on a-pamphlet...m.o
has just appeared under the title of " Shall we 't:le"-ks
the Coach ; or, What ought the Radicals to de?". I'oll°ol
as follows :—" Those who would arrest the onward oat,
of Reform should first arrest the power of corruption' ' lye
cupidity of faction, the spread of knowledge, an as
course of Time. The cessation of Reform hasp roved,
ou
it must prove, the progress of Toryism. Stay avbere, 101
are I is an impracticable policy, as applied to the fidaliet is
Reforms! ; it means worse than nothing, when log, .of
vindication of doing nothing; nor will forbearance It for
long continue to reply to any °Male's who shall take
their motto—Stay where you are!" sser'
The Morning Advertiser contains the following a- t•
tions in its first leading article :--6"fhe expresstods
tributed to Lord J. Russell, respecting the finality °f her
Reform Bill, are utterly and wholly unfounded. Nd ,
in his recent speech, nor in any other that he ever roL °,l
did his Lordship ever declare the Reform Bill to be a ue,:r
measure. roe words final' and finality' were nel'd
used by him on any occasion whatever." In a 8.e2.c1i°,. •
leading article, our Contemporary remarks:—.. The 03r
Radicals may do as they please, either upon the ris'
. t,c0.1
any other question; but they reckon without thew
if they dream for a moment that by deserting, and c°..relia
quently turning out, the present achniuistration, they 14 ".ra
In the slightest degree, advance their own interests. °
Durham will have no hand in the matter." 00
The Morning Herald, speaking on the subject 0. iv
Centralized Police Bill, says—" It is, we repeats a P.Cher
dant to the New Poor Law. Its object is, amongst 'o
things, to create a force that shall be available at aDY P-13,44
for the enforcement of the odious Malthusian Act. the
the centralised police is destined yet further to debaseAos
condition of the labouring poor, by rendering combidraio
on their part impossible ; combinations that may tre 1110-
pensable in self-defence, in cousequence of previod°
binations on the part of capitalists."

ENCLOSURE of the HAMPSTEAD
MEADOWS BY THE NECROPOLIS DU'

rrow'
By this Bill, which stands for second reading te-0.1°;10 of
it is proposed to enclose 75 acres of land within a
that thickly-populated neighbourhood called °°"-deon
Town, and within 500 yards of the termini of the 14`)°,0d,
and Birmingham Railway, for a cemetery or burial-grl.„bt
which Bill has made its re-appearance (with some
alterations), after having been defeated last Session co the
liament in the Houses of Lords and Commons, upon,-,00
ground "that no public advantage could be derivedf
its adoption." f, r
It cannot br- favour °l

disputed that public taste is it, foal
Cemeteries, in appropriate and proper distances be

carried too far, and defeat the object intended, by silo?' is
Companies to outvie each other, and prejudice the arilar
and labouring classes, by enclosing the green meadows 751,4

necessary for the Legislature to give further posters, sec!ilT'
that A,.! have already' parsed authorising the enci°9l;

The contents of the northern burial grounds, I'M" 3
lasted 200 years, consist of about 38 acres of land, in ",:e
which there is sufficient space unoccupied, according t°ool
average of burials, for 31 years to come. The additloar,
quantity of ground provided for the northern districts (1:60
row-road and Highgate) by the Cemetery Acts, that t, j 5
already received the assent of both Houses of Parliarnerlve

from the inhabitants of St. Pancras, signet, ',J,corl
wards of 2,000 persons; another from the „,iorca
of St. Pancras; another from the trustees of the 11; or
of St. Pancras, are-Ist, that the spot selected i 3 oat
propriate for a cemetery for the following reasons tbe
the land proposed to be taken is not freehold--tha'.ol,
soil is clay to the depth of 150 feet, and cannot be drained,
in consequence of the Fleet River running close to the
erf
being only five feet from the surface, consequentigo a
grave must be filled with water to a certain depth. "r
public foot-path runs through the centre of the land, CO'sche
quently cannot be enclosed. That the City of Lond°"'ace
have leased their estate to the Hampstead Water-works, dig
by an Act of Parliament, power to lay pipes and, se•
trenches, from time to time, through this land. All.;01,
condly, that no further powers at present are recess
than are already given by four Acts of Parliament nalltro.
for that purpose, within four years, relating to the Petro'
polis alone, by whit 400 acres may be enclosed. blf
It will be seen that the passing of the Bill will be
injurious to the public and parishioners of Marylebeee'it
Pancras, and St. James, and the whole metropolis. st•
hoped, therefore, that the Metropolitan Members vo`
tend, and watch the interests of their constituents ill
matter.
