fleet, or that the Russian squadron has arrived in the
Bosphorus ?—Notional.
A letter from Constantine, of the 26th of July, says :
" The excessive heat keeps the troops inactive ; there Are
no expeditious at this moment, and we only see convoys
set cut from time to time for Jemilah and Selif, where our
troops continue quietly to establish themselves. Many
important families bre preparing to set out for France,
most of them intend to settle there. There are especially
three native families, which, in spite of the assurances of
the General, still dread the return of Achmet Bey." One
of those families possessed a very handsome Moorish house,
ornamented with a colonnade, to which the Bey took a
fancy ; lie merely said to the owner....-' I shill have these
c 1 Imns taken away.' The owner having resisted, the
Bf y caused him to be beheaded, and seized the object that
he coveted. In the other families he caused the hand-
somest women to be seized for his harem, and the husbands
to be strangled."—Courrier Francais.

One of our Contemporaries, who appears to us more
witty than wise, ridicules "the idle and worthless leaders
of the Chartists, who have been accustomed to live by
their tongues, and will not readily return to work with
their hands." But such an observation applies quite as
strongly to those who live by their pens, and, like the
leaders of the Chartists, merely flatter some prevalent
prejudice, some favourite notion of some particular class,
as to those who live by. their tongues. No Chartist
orator has yet made a fortune equal to Mr. Walter.
It was well observed by Mr. Buller, some nights ago in
the House of Commons, that Chartism, or the popular
discontent, has now not only its orators, but its Press,
and, as long as the sentiment prevails, men will appeal
to it both by written and spoken words, as the Times
appeals to Church of Englandism, the Morning Post
to Cur doiniedl yiesarni and the Globe to middle-class
alarmism. t
The leaders of the Chartists are orators
Court
rather than writers, because it is cheaper and more
convenient to speak a score of leading articles to
10,000 or '20,000 hearers thanto write and print them ;
and is, therefore, more suitable to the finances of
those whom the orators address. Provided they speak
truth and good sense, we see no difference between
their occupation and that of an Editor of a Newspaper,
except, perhaps, that it requires a more ready and off-
hand talent. Our Contemporary should shun witti-
&sms that will be made to recoil against his own occu-

pati on.
ERRATA.—III the first leading article, yesterday, the
word " person" should have been " parson." The word
" Government," in the quotation from Dr. Franklin, in
two places, should have been "fool."

The St. Christopher paper gives the arrival of Lieut.-
General Cunningham, with his cordial reception end his
speech to the Legislature
" Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Council,
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" I feel highly favoured that my first administration of
a Government should have been appointed in so loyal and
distinguished a colony.

" The mutual feeling of confidence and regard which
existed between you and my excellent and valuable prede.
cessor : the.meapres which von have pursued in co-opera-
tion with him since the abolition of th. .r,r,r.oticeshiP
system, and the general good understanding which appears
to exist between the proprietary body and the working
classes, are additional cause of congratulation : they afford
the strongest assurance that a similar feeling of kindness
and courtesy will attend my intercourse with that Honour-
able House, and that a like benevolence will characterise
your further enactments, and that generally all classes of
society will vie with each other in proving that their
greatest object In life is to show glory to God and good-
will to men.

With such a state of public feeling, and conscious-of
my own sincere desire for your welfare, it might be
deemed irrelevant to anticipate any difference of opinion
between the Executive and the Houses of Legislature. I
merely advert to the possibility of such an occurrence, in
order to express my earnest hope that no petty differences
of any kind will be, at a period .so momentous for the well-
being of the British West Indies, suffered to intercept or
interfere with honest, patric,tic, and speedy legislation,
whenever it is required for the welfare of this island.
"C. J. CUNNINGHAM,
" St. Christopher, May 30. " Lieut.-Governor."

The funding of four millions of Exchequer Bills conti-
nues to excite the specr!latire and monied interest in the
City. The general opinion is, that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer is much puzzled in his financial operations, and
the old practice of subscribing at the Bank of England for
such part of the advance, has, in the present instance, been
departed from. It was reported in the course of yester-
day that a deputation was going to wait on the Chancellor
of the Exchequer for an explanation as to the mode of
subscribing for the contract, without which it is
not expected that any of the leading monied firms will i
send in their tenders. It s just stated that
a notice is expected from the Treasury every hour with
some further information or explanation on the subject
which has caused Exchequer bills to recede from the
closing price of 7 10 premium to par, and 3 premium.

We cannot as yet ascertain if any tenders bare been
sent to the Treasury for the funding of the fou mil-
lions of Exchequer Bills. Various opinions still prevail on
the subject. It is expected it will terminate in the same
manner as the dead weight.

10,000 Exchequer Bills have been done in the
course of the morning at par. Money continues very
scarce, 6 to 7 per cent. given in the House to the Account,
and 8 per cent. given out.
A report prevails that a deputation has been to the
Chancellor, but he was absent. They wished to ascertain
from him further particulars concerning the funding
of the Exchequer Bills.
