in Canada; and in fork:
such a state of society, which is to be prevented
by a foreign force from fermenting and working '
itself into peace and clearness, and is to be controlled
I by the united rigour of the Home Government and
the British settlers, in the two Provinces, a. mili-
tary Government, as it will nO doubt be Vigilantly
but mercifully administered by British officers,
seems to Us, we will readily own, the most suitable
contrivance for now governing Lower Canada. We
say so principally from a view to that future amal-
gamation of the races, and the extinction of the pre-
dominancy of the French, which all parties:here ad-
vocate. If that Government be at once firm, con•
trolling, and mild—if it be little meddling, and
much economical, it may effect, before 1842,
a great improvement in the disposition of
the people, and make that amalgamation of
the two Provinces under one legislature, consti-
tuted on the principles of a free Representative
Government, practicable, peaceful, and beneficial.
In the present circumstances, then, of Lower Ca-
nada, and in conformity to the ultimate object
proposed by our Legislature, we approve, however
much the Tories may:rail at, Lord JOHN R us•
sELL's second resolution, and should not object to
continuing Lower Canada under a military Go-
vernment, if, as seems inevitable, the French
Nation Canadienne must, as an exclusive, political,
and separate people be extinguished, till 1842.
We do not mean to discuss the second question ;
it is generally, we may almost say universally,
adopted as a sort of axiom ; but out of it grows a
subject, on which the Times and the Post have di-
lated with all their usual, unmeaning, senseless gabble
of vituperation—the conduct of Ministers with regard
to legislating for Canada. Lord J. RussELL,in his
speech,scarcely did more than allude to the basis of
the representative system, combining population with
territory, but above all things giving a British cha-
racter to the whole Province. He refused to enter
into details. Thereupon the Times scolds about a
" dilatory and discreditable expedient ;" and there-
upon the chamber-maid Post raves thus—" Of all
the insults that ever were offered to any deli-
berative Assembly, that which the British House
of Commons received last night, is beyond
all comparison the most audacious and of-
fensive." It is far worse than OLD Nom. walking
into the House, turning out the Members, and
putting the keys in his pocket. Such language is
the sign only of the angry sentiments which over-
flow in the writers' minds, and signifies no other
created thing—nothing external to them—nothing
relative either to Canada or England. If the Act
of Incorporation is not to come into operation till
1842, and these writers have not said a word to
justify its coming sooner into effect, would it not
be grossly absurd now to frame it ? The Parlia-
ment would in that case reject the experience which
1840 and 1841 will supply. It is quite enough at
present to affirm the principle, so to put an end to
the despair of the Lower Canadians, and prepare
all parties for their new political condition ; but leave
time, as well as legislative presumption, to bring its
own counsel. We are never in any haste to make new
and complicated laws, and should have nothing but
approbation to bestow, had doubt and delay and
postponement, in many other cases of legislation,
been allowed to supersede the strong convictions
and the haste with which both Houses of Parlia-
ment have proceeded to inflict new laws on the
community. We cannot, however, conclude this
expression of our approbation of not now proceed-
ing
to legislate for Canada, without observing that
as Lord JOHN RUSSELL opened his intentions, so
disappeared the last, and certainly the most magnifi-
cent, of tile several projects, the hope of accom-
plishing which shed sunlight over the approach of
the present session, and made the community look
to it as one of unusual importance.

see such a Mari as Dr. CifA.t.mliA declaring
" in regard to the authorised dild Douay versions,
the difference between them is not so great as to
make it a thing of practical importance tvhich of
them should be used ; though that, in point of
decortim anl good tastc,lt were better that the school
ible should be our authorised version, grid that thtt
Catholic priest would evince his wisdom and libe-
rality by making no objection to it." Thus the
horrible iniquity of using the Douay version of the
Bible, which makes the hair of the Godly stand on
end whenever a political purpose is to be served by
such an erection, is estimated by a double-distilled
evangelical Professor of Divinity in the principal
University of Scotland, at the very trifling amount of
a sin against decorum—a transgression of the laws

We are still without any interesting intelligence from
the French capital. Marshal SOULT and his colleagues
are hardly noticed, save in the columns of the opposi-
tion journals : a listless inertness prevails in the Cham-
ber of Deputies ; the Court is calmly enjoying its
triumph, and covertly extending its corrupt influence ;
while the people disgusted with the political apostacy of
nearly all in whom they once placed unbounded confi-
dence, turn away in disgust to await the terrible retri-
bution of another Revolution. Louis PittLirPE has
triumphed, but his triumph has been purchased
at the expense of the public character of
almost every man of popular influence in
France. He has now no breakwater between him
and the popular tide, when it once sets in against him.
For the momentary gratification of a single bad passion,
he has recklessly sacrificed the defensive birthright of
a Constitutional Sovereign—the popular influence of
nearly every man capable of serving him in the ca-
pacity of a Minister ! And the dolts who surround
him, and the Tory organs in this country, represent
this suicidal policy, this regal trickery and duplicity—
worthy of the genius of GEORGE the perfection
of statesmanship !
To add to the political stagnation in Paris, AIM.
TRIERS and Gutzwr are about to set out for the coun-
try during the summer months. GUIZOT retires to his
seat at Valricher, and Thum to the Waters of
Cotterets.

The Prince DE JOINVILLE left Toulon on the is'
instant, on board the Jupiter, to join the French squa.
dron in the Levant as second in command.

The letters from Bayonne are of the 31st ult. Es-
PARTERO was fortifying Orduna ; General LEON had
established his head-quarters at Lodosa ; and MAROTO
occupied the lines from Amurrio to Llodio. In Cata-
lonia the Carlists surrounded a Christino division near
Segarra, and killed or wounded 450 of them. The articles
of a treaty between ESPARTEEO and MAnoTo, for con-
ducting the war in the Basques according to the usages
of civilized nations, have at least been ratified. One of
them stipulates that the wounded shall be healed and
restored to the enemy without ransom.
The Madrid Papers received arc of the 27th ult. The
new Finance Minister, XIMENES, was actively engaging
in endeavouring to restore public credit. He had con-
trived to procure from the Madrid Banks four millions
of reals, which he was about to remit for the use of the
army of the North. The dissolution of the Cortes was
under the consideration of the Government.

The Ministry has j;t-gi;en-rt proof of independence
and justice for which the public ought to give it credit. It
has just deprived of his office, as Governor of our posses-
sions in India, the Marquis do St. Simon, whose tyran-
nical conduct has frequently given the inhabitants of Pon-
dicherry ground for complaint. The Press had published
the most serious inculpations respecting the facts imputed
to the Marquis de St. Simon by the Ministry of the 15th
of April, who did not condescend to pay any attention to
the matter. The accused Governor was, in fact, in favour
at the Palace, where he even had the highest protection.
We repeat it, the equitable and highly necessary measure
of appointing M. Ducamper to succeed the Governor,
does honour to the Ministry in general, and particularly
to Admiral Duperre.—Le Commerce.
BOURSE.—PARIS, MONDAY, JUNE 3.
HALF-PAST THREE. —There has been a good deal of
business for time in the French stocks. For the Account
the Three per Cents. opened at 81f. 40c,, rose to 81f.
40e., and closed at 81f. 55c„ being Sc. lower than on
Saturday. The Five per Cents. from 111 f. 50c., declined
to 111 f. 45c., a fall of sc. For Money the Three per
Cents. are unaltered, and the Five per Cents. are 10c.
higher. Thelßank of France Shares arc sf. lower. The
Laffitte Bank Shares are unaltered. The Belgian Fire
per Cents. are 1 lower. The Bank Shares have declined
2f. 10c. The Spanish Active is lower, it opened at 19k,
and closed at 194. The St. Germain Railway Shares are
sf. and the Versailles Right Bank 151. lower. The
Versailles Left Bank, it will be seen, opened at 51. below
Saturday's last quotation ; they rallied 10f. It is under-
stood, however, that Government will propose to the
Chamber to assist the Company with a loan.

Peace, Law, and Order are the Shibboleth of Mr.
O'CONNELL and some other Reformers. We are
cordial friends of peace and order, but cannot con-
scientiously add law. Peace, if we may judge of
the wrangling in Courts, the wailings in prisons,
and the terrific spectacles of distress and punish-
ment exhibited by the law, seems totally different
from law. Order, if we may judge by the statute-book
and by the common law, is equally at variance with
it. If law be not the enemy of peace and order, it is
so palpably different from both, being alike nei-
ther in substance nor in form, that the three to-
gether can never make a political trinity.
Mr. O'CoNxELL, in recommending the three
to the Chartists, condemned one law in strong terms,
the Reform law. Ths bulk of the intelligent people
condemn, in still stronger terms, the Corn-law. All
the Dissenters reprobate the Church-rate law, and
all the Peers, as well as the publicans, are convinced
that the Sale of Beer Act is a most mischievous
law. Few people at present, except the Bishops,
approve of the Church as made by law. People
wish to have laws for the recovery of debts, but
they say that gross injustice is worked by the pre.
sent law. Our bread, our tea, our sugar, our wines,
our clothes, are all taxed by a hated law. Without
going through the catalogue, it is palpable that
great masses of the community condemn every one
of the present laws. Nevertheless Mr. O'CON-
NELL would have the nation regard peace, law, and
order, as of exactly the same value. We dif-
fer in tot° from him, and we would inscribe the first
and the last on our banner, but if the other were
written we would expunge law.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TUESDAY.—We continue
to have an improved demand for Cotton. The sales to-day
reach 4,000 bags at an advance generally of id per lb.,
and in some instances of -id on the quotations of Friday last.
Arrivals this morning—French Mail, and ship letters
from Rio Janeiro and the Cape of Hope, March 13, old
date. We have had the 16th March.

The operations in Foreign Bills yesterday do not fur-
nish any material remark upon the whole; they were much
the same as on the former post day.
It is generally anticipated that Money will become more
plentiful as the heavy commercial payments are now ter-
minated.

We publish in another column a letter from a
Correspondent on the Douay version of the Scrip-
tures, the use of which in schools has been made
the groundwork, real or pretended, for so violent an
ebullition of bigotry on the part of the Church of
Englandists and Wesleyan Methodists. Let it be
borne in mind, above all things, that the Govern-
ment has never harboured the most remote inten-
tion of mixing together—as we contend it was its
duty to do—children belonging to different sects in
the same school. The only single and solitary
instance in which this is to be done, is the school
to be established here in London for the purpose
of affording teachers of different persuasions an
opportunity of learning the practical part of their bu-
siness, the mode of communicating instruction most
effectually to the young. In all other cases throughout
the kingdom, the different sects are to have their
own schools, and each school will, as it is now, be
under its own peculiar sectarian discipline, and will
exhibit the same entire uniformity of religious faith
as at present. Yet clearly as this was stated by
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, when he first introduced
the subject in the House of Commons, anti often
as it has been repeated since, the Established Clergy
and the Wesleyan Ministry have raised a hue and
cry against the Government plan, on the sole ground
that it proposes to enforce the teaching of different
religious systems in every school. The Bishop of
LONDON was the first to start this gross misrepre-
sentation in the House of Lords ; and though
corrected there and compelled to confess his mis-
take, he has, with his innate Jesuitism, ever since
persisted in giving it currency out of doors.
The question is then brought to this plain and
simple state—that each separate class of religion-
ists, having their separate schools, may use in them
those versions of the Scripture which they most
approve. Will any one dare to object to this ?
Will any bigot venture to say that the Catholics
shall not be allowed to use the Catholic trans-
lation of the Scriptures in their own schools ?
This, we apprehend, would be more than
any man, wishing not to be thought a fit and
proper inmate for Bedlam, would choose to in-
sinuate, inasmuch as it would imply not only the
most grievous intolerance that can be imagined,
but would be a direct and positive confession that
ignorance in Catholics is better than knowledge,
and that it is the duty of the State to refuse them
all means of instruction—all opportunity of culti-
vating their rational nature, and raising themselves
in the scale of human existence.
But touching this Douay version of the Scrip-
tures, which is viewed by the Church and the Me-
thodists with so pious a horror, we doubt whether
one in a hundred of those who object to it ever saw
it, or knows anything at all about it. Such per-
sons will read the letter of our Correspondent with
advantage, and, we are sure, will be delighted be-
yond measure to find how much they have been
mistaken. Their joy will be equal to their sur-
prise, when they find Dr. CHALMERS, the Cory-
plueus of orthodoxy in the northern part of the king-
dom, saying of this calumniated translation of the
Scriptures—and that, too, not in a corner—not in any
secret conclave of brother priests, and with a knowing
familiar wink of the eye, as much as to say, " .1 am
sure you won't tell of me ;" but before a Committee
of the House of Commons, by which his words, he
knew, were to be sent forth to the world as carry-
ing with them an authority of great weight—they
will be flung into extacics, we repeat, when they

According to information from Vera Crus of the 7th of
April, it appears that the fortress of San Juan d'Ulloa
has been restored to the Mexicans, and the national flag
again waves on its walls, therefore we may conclude that
everything is settled between the French and Mexican
Government.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY,_JUNE 5, 1839,

EkiILOWON ON BOARD THE

AitCHIMEDES STEAM-MJAT,

A.I3.IOURNED INQUEST.—(THIS DAY).
The inquest on the body of the unfortunate man James
M'Millan, second engineer of the Ard,:masles, who was killed
by the bursting of the boiler on Thursday afteriiciaaas was re-
sumed this morning at the Unicorn Inn, Greenwich, before
Mr., Car far, Coroner.
Mr. Ns Cita; of the firm of Teesdale, Symes, and Weston,
appeared in behalf of the Coanpany, And Mr. Espin, of the
firm of Few and Co., Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, in behalf
of Mr. Smith, the patentee.
At half-past ten, the Jury having assembled,
The CORONER said it appeared that the men lying on board
the Dreadnought, who had been injured by the explosion, were
not in a fit state to be removed on shore, but they could be ex-
amined on board, He proposed, therefore, that the Jury should
go On beard and hear what these men had to say, which he un-
derstood was not much they could then return and hear the
remainder of the etideriiid.
The Coroner and Jury then proceeded to the Dreadnought,
where the two men were lying. Their faces and arms appeared
to have been badly burned, but they were able to converse
freely, and suffered no pain.
James Crow being sworn, said—l am an engineer, and was
employed to work the Archimedes engine. I was in the
engine-room, standing by the handle next the boiler when the
accident occurred. James M'Millan and another man, I be-
lieve, were in the engine-room at the time. I saw M'Millan,
but I did not see the other man. M'Millan was standing by the
other handle, which was farthest from the boiler on my left
hand.
Had you noticed anything particular before the explosion ?
—Nothing.
How were the fires?—They were rather dull. I saw the
other man, Frazer, doing something to them a short time pre-
viously, but I don't know what it was. Most of the fire-doors
were shut, but some of them'were open.
Was it your business or that of M'Alillan to ascertain the
quantity of water in the boiler 2-51‘111illan.
What quantity was there in the boilers ?—Less to the second
of the three cocks. At the time I tried it it was running from
the third cock.
Then there was enough of water in the boiler ?—Quite
enough.
When had you been on the deck ?—A very short time before,
about five minutes. I did not ascertain whether the safety
valve was acting or not.
Did you hear the steam blowing off at any strength?—
When the handle was drawn out in one of the valves it. would
blow off a little.
So as to relieve the valve that was closed ?—Yes, that occa-
sioned the steam to blow off.
What was the first notice you had of anything occurring ?
Nothing till the boiler burst.
What was the effect upon you and the other men in the en-
gine-room ?a-The room was filled with steam. I ran after un-
derneath the cabin. It was not the regular way, but the door
was fastened, and I got out that way between the wheels and
up into the after cabin. 111`Millan was in before me; lie did
not go through the wheels, but across the shafts.
Did he get over the engine ?—I don't know. I could not
see. The steam prevented my seeing, and I endeavoured to
keep my eyes shut. M'Millan, I believe, went over:the shafts;
he did not go round by the boiler. There were two frames to
hold the wheels, and he went in between them. I heard him
when I was going under the wheels—he was crying out very
much. I don't know what became of the other man.
Were you waiting at the handle ?—I got orders to " stand
by" the engine about two minutes before. That was prepara-
tory to getting under weigh. It requires two men to work the
engine, one at each handle. The wheels were three feet apart.
Do you know the cause of the accident?—No, I don't.
Is there anything you can attribute it to ?—I cannot say.
What is your own idea on the subject ?—I cannot give any
opinion.
Did you ever anticipate any mischief arising ?—No ; I saw
too much weight put upon the valve.
Which valve ?—The one the spindle stands on.
Who put that weight on ?—I lent a hand to put it on myself.
It was when we were coming from Margate to London. It was
done by Mr. Smith's orders. The extra weight put on was a
spanner, a piece of pipe and a small piece of lead. I cannot
tell what was the exact weight of the piece of pipe. It might
be about 16 or 181 b. weight ; it was under 201 b. The valves
all worked properly. I never saw any defect in them.
By a Juror—The engine worked up from Margate with that
extra weight; but it was taken off when we came up the river,
I think.
Was the extra weight on, on this particular day ?—Oh no, I
don't think it was.
Did you imagine the placing of these extra weights on the
valve had strained the boiler ?—No, I could not think it would
strain them.
Was there any discussion as to the propriety of putting on these
weights ?—None at all.
Was Mr. Rennie aware of it ?—No, he was net on board.
The boilers and engine were under Mr. Rennie's care, Mr.
Smith had nothing to do with them. It was not my duty to
load or unload the valves except by order. Mr. Rennie was
the party to give the orders.
The extra weight of 161 b. or 181 b. was not on on the day of
the explosion, but the ordinary weight of 281 b. was on. Mr.
Rennie was not on board on the voyage from London to Mar-
gate, and could have had no knowledge of the extra weight.
The 281 b. weight was put on originally and remained on
always. It was the weight put on the spindle, and Mr. Rennie
was aware of its being on. In coming up from Margate the
extra weight of 161 b. or 181 b. was taken off, but the 281 b.
weight remained on.
Was there any steam-guage, any quicksilver-guage to tell
the pressure of the steam in the boiler ?—No. We could as-
centain the pressure of the steam in the boiler when the valves
were working well.
But if the valve got thick ?—We had no way but by think-
ing there was too much steam.
By a Juror—Would not the steam-cock tell?
The CORONER—No ; that would not tell the pressure of the
steam. It would be a bad criterion to go by.
By a Juror—Previous to the explosion was the safety-valve
fixed, or did it refuse to act ?—I never tried.
Juror—l understand there were two valves.
Corso/salts—Yes, but one of them is always locked up, so
that it may not be tampered with.
_ Mr. Espin begged the Coroner to ask if the witness knew at
what power the engines were working.
Witness—At near about 6lbs., between Mbs. and 61bs. The
valve was loaded to better than 51bs. before the extra weight
was put on.
CORONER—Then there was 281b5., and say 61bs., making
341bs.
Mr. Espin— That would make it about 61bs. to the inch.
In answer to the Coroner the witness said he had no further
information to give them.
Alexander Frazer, who was lying in the next berth, was also
badly scalded, but apparently not so much as Crow, was then
examined. He said—l live at Wapping, and lam a stoker.
I was stoker on board the Archimedes. I was in the engine
room when the accident occurred, standing in front of the
boiler before the fire on the starboard side. I had just done
stoking the fire, and most of the doors were closed. The only
other persons in the engine-room were Crow and the deceased.
They were on the handles ready to start when the word
was given. I was only newlylcorne on board, and did not know
how the safety-valve or anything else was going on. It was
the first time I had had fire that morning. Went with the
vessel to Portsmouth, but Ido not recollect anything about
loading the valve coming home. I believe there was a piece of
lead or a spanner put on. Ido not know by whose orders it
was done. When the explosion took place I ran up the ladder
near which I was. The quantity of steam was very great, and very
hot. I cannot account for the explosion. I had nothing to
do with it till I got better acquainted with the engine. The
safety-valve worked very well all the previous morning. I
know nothing of how they worked the morning of the explo-
sion, having been very busy with the fire. I have nothing
further to state.
Upon the return of the Coroner and the Jury to the Inn, the
examination of
Mr. Field was proceeded with.—He stated that he resided
at Lambeth, and was an engineer. Was not connected with the
Company to which the Archimedes belonged, but had been re-
quested to make an inspection of the boiler of that vessel. He
found the boiler was of the ordinary low pressure kind, gene-
sally used by steam-vessels upon the river. Its power and
strength of plate was quite sufficient. The boiler was rather
large. The great objection to it was, that it was less tied to-
gether than smaller boilers would be, and therefore subject to
be sooner damaged. If he had had to make a simlar boiler, he
should have put more stays in it. The top of the boiler had
been lifted by the pressure of the steam, the crown of it had been
distorted, and by that means the safety valve had been stopped
from acting, and the spindle jammed, which prevented
them acting, to which cause he attributed the accident. He
did not see any steam guages when he made the inspection ;
unless, therefore, the safety valves acted, the pressure of the
steam could not be known. A good engineer might have
known from the opening of the cocks, but every man could not.
The top of the boiler had been lifted, but the chimney had not
been moved from the place where it stood, in consequence of
being attached to the flues. The engineers, in consequence of
the jamming, were not able to know the strength of the steam,
and that was the reason of the accident. When he made the
examination he tested the valves, and found one of them
loaded to the extent of 5 1-3, and the other to 6 1-3;
that was rather higher than he should load them, but
many would load them in that way. The pressure ought
not to be increased, as it would be attended with
danger to the safety of the boiler. There was nothing but the
ordinary weight on the valves at the time he saw them. The
tightest of the valves could be got at from the deck, and the
other from below. A preventive to this occurrence would have
been stronger staying or less pressure, but that would not have
prevented it if the safety valve had been jammed which
could not have taken place, unless the boiler had been thrown
out of shape. The boiler, if it had been sufficiently tied so as
to prevent its altering its shape, would have been of sufficient
strength to work up to 5 one-third. The thickness of the
plates was quite sufficient. There were a great number of
fires for so small a boiler, but they did not increase the danger
at all. He should not have chosen to work a steam vessel from
London to Portsmouth without a steam guage. If there had
been a steam guage in the present instance it would
have indicated danger—that there was something more than
the ordinary pressnre : the difference from an extra weight of
441bs. in one valve would increase the pressure lilb. or lilb.
upon the square inch. He would have been extremely timid
in loading the boiler to that extent. He thought the boilers
were not sufficiently strong to bear the pressure he found upon
them. If the boiler had been well tied and bound, however,
it would have been of sufficient strength.
By the CORONER—In circumstances of the description that
have taken place here, what would have been your conduct
and opinions prior to the vessel starting. When you f6und the
steam pretty much up, and the safety valve fixed, so that you
were obliged to use a crow-bar to move it, would you not have
supposed that there was something wrong?—Certainly.
Would you not have watched the safety-valve after you had
eased and floated it ?-Ishould have felt it to be my duty to have
kept an eye upon it, to see that it was acting properly.
By Mr. Weston—lt was considered desirable in making
boilers to have as few stays as possible, because more holes
would have to be made, and the result might be leakage.
Steam gauges were often not used in the north. The valves in
the engine were of a proper size.
By the CORONER—If there was no steam guage to tell the
precise amount of the pressure you would not have considered
it proper to put any extra weight upon the valve ?—Certainly
not, because, as I said before, lam very timid. Without a
guage I should not think it prudent to let any person put a weight
upon the valve—decidedly not. With a guage I might be dis-
posed to load the valve, but certainly not without it.
By Mr. Espin—He thought it was dangerous to work upon
a boiler like the one in the present. instance, to an extent of
pressure of Gibs. on the square inch. If the boiler was suffici-
ently tied and bound together it might be worked up to that
extent.

By the Coitorrra—lf the boiler was sufficient for a pressure
of slbs. and a third, 61bs. ought not to have been put upon it.
By a Juryman—The more stays there were on the boiler, th•
greater would be its strength ; but there would also be the
greater chance of leakage.
Mr. Rennie was then examined, and stated that the boiler
was intended to bear 61b. to the inch, No extra weight was
intended to he put on them in this voyage. Steam guages
