FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.)

C. D. truly states that men, whose credit was not good,
paid an exhorbitant per centage on discounts, under the old
system, when the lender was armed with the power of arrest
in case the borrower did not take up his acceptance. • But
will he not now be compelled to give a still higher rate for ac-
commodation, as the lender's security is so extremely
weakened ? The rate of interest, in all transactions of this
sort, of course, is determined mainly by the risk incurred ;
and the party discounting a bill, in fixing his rate, will be
guided by the risk he runs, just as an Insurance Com-
pany require a high rate for insuring what is doubly ha-
zardous.

MATRIMONIAL DISAPPOINTMENT.—On Wed-
nesday week a couple attended at the Baptist chapel, Falmouth,
to be joined in holy wedlock, but when the assembled specta-
tors were on tip toe, it was announced that the " due notice,
according to law," not having been given, the ceremony could
not take place. The poor bride and bridegroom elect were
much disconcerted, and retired amidst the laughter of the dis-
appointed spectators.

As a gentleman named Salford, residing in Quebec-
street, New-road, was driving in his gig in the Regent's Park,
accompanied by his lady, one of the whels suddenly came off,
and he was pitched out. The horse immediately darted for-
ward, but Mrs. Salford, with great presence of mind, re-
covered the reins, by means of the butt-end of the whip, and
succeeded in checking the animal's career. The gentleman
was not seriously injured.

SIR JOHN LEMAN, BART.—The poor Notting-
ham mechanic who lately succeeded in establishing his claim
to
this baronetcy, seems to be making a friendly tour through

his old associates
and fellow craftsmen
ringers cheered his heart with a rejoicing peal at his success-
ful fortune. A committee of the blond trade was then sitting.
at the Moira Arms, and his old neighbour, the landlady, in-
vited him to join the meeting. Full of good humour he ac-
cepted the proposal, and entered the committee-room in the
character of a poor blond-hand seeking employment, and de..
sired to know if any person present could let him have a ma—
chine? Mr. S. Hargraves offered him two, but no work to
them, as that trade is just now so bad that many machinr:s are
either quite standing for work, or only partially employed.
This chapfallen condition of the committee excited the gene-
rous sympathy of Sir John, and many a bumper was drunk to
his health, and the days of " auld lang syne." Before leaving
them he generously promised to present to the central com-
mittee a donation of 50/. in the course of the coming winter.
The landlady of the Moira Arms, Mrs. Cocking, discoursed
with the Baronet on terms of former familiarity, and inquired
after his wife, the early companion of his adverse fortune.

RATHER EQUIVOCAL.--, dealer in the Mile-
end-road states, in glaring characters in his shop-window, that
" the tobacco sold at this shop is warranted free from adulte-
ration and honest weight." What weight does he give ?
The pro-Church rate party at Brighouse have aban-
doned their threatened scrutiny of votes; but they threaten
the opponents of the rate with an effort to obtain a rate for the
chapelry of Rastrick. They would do more honour to their
religion were they to exhibit a little mere Christian charity '
and brotherly love.
For the last few days the drain attached to the cess-
pool of the house No. 6, Adam and Eve-court, Well-street
Oxford-street, having become entirely stopped up, two I"..ien'

In corroboration of the rumoured friendship of the Cabinet
of the Tuileries for Dun Carlos, the Commerce observes that
Count Campuzano, former Ambassador of Isabel H. in Paris,
had published a memorial to the Cortes, in which he affirmed
that the little sympathy evinced by the French Cabinet
towards Constitutional Spain, and its unwillingness to second
her endeavours, were owing to a secret convention signed be..
tween it (the French Government) and Austria in favour of
Don Carlos. "We have strong reasons to believe," says. Le
Commerce, " that M. Campuzano's assertion is but too well
founded, and we were ourselves the first to denounce the ex-
istence of such a treaty ; we, moreover, often repeated that
Count D'Appony had a greater influence than M. Mole over
the personage who directs our affairs. Now, France and
Austria have in Spain two opposed interests. Austria con-
ceives her security to depend on the triumph of absolutism.
France finds her safety interested in the final establishment of
the Constitutional principle. Which cf those considerations
will guide our national Ministry ? The interests of France,
evidently? No, that of Austria. The system and Cabinet
may be gathered from this single fact.
The Semaphore, of Marseilles, has the following article:—
" The intercourse between Corsica and Marseilles, already so
considerable, is daily becoming more extensive and important.
The island of Corsica, which has been long forgotten, is now
awake to the benefits of commerce and manufactures. Not to
mention the necessity which it constantly feels, of drawing a
great quantity of merchandize from Marseilles, it may be
predicted that it is on the point, by means of the pro-
duce which it will be able to export, of returning to u 4 car-
goes for those we send to it. Who can then dispute with Mar-
seilles, we will not say the right, but the necessity, of forming
as numerous connections as possible with that island?
" When this subject cornea to be discussed the Government,
we have no doubt, will take into consideration the wishes ex-
pressed at the same time by the merchants of Corsica and
Marseilles, by the Consul-General of the department of the
mouths of the Rhine, and by that of the department of Cor-
sica. Both parties have been struck with the advantages that
would result from a change in the line of communication by
means of the packet-boats, and they have not hesitated to
show the anomaly which exists in the present system."
The Cygnie brig, the departure of which for the Antilles
we announced, has put back to Toulon, having sustained da-
mage, which will delay its voyage ten or twelve days, and it is
said that the object of its mission was one that required haste.
