The Corriere Mercantile, of Genoa of the 20th,
publishes a letter from Palermo of the 9th, in which
we find the following passage :—" Shall we turn to
the son of Joachim MURAT ? We do not well know
his qualities. But being the son of a prince shot at
Pizzo, by order of a Bourbon of Naples, he ought
strongly to feel the desire of avenging the blood of
his father. We will send to him the same invita-
tion we had made to the Duke of GENOA, and hope
he will hasten to place himself at the head of the

nial-office for the Governors of the British North

CALIFORNIA.—The pamphlet noticed in our first
leading article of yesterday is emphatically repudiated
by the Honourable Representative of Bodmin.
Another brochure of a very different character—.
published by himself at his establishments at Charing
Cross and the Royal Exchange—has however ap-
peared. Although simply entitled " Geographical
and Mineralogical Notes to accompany Mr. Wyld's
Map of the Gold Regions of California," the pam-
phlet in question contains more useful and accurate
information than any yet submitted to our perusal.
In a compass of thirty-two octavo pages we are
informed in so many sections of—Political and
Commercial Prospects—California —Voyage—His-
tory—General Description—Population—Climate--.
Rivers—Mountains—Harbours—Topography of the
Gold and Mining Districts—Gold Mines of the
American Rivers—Gold Mines on the Middle Sacra-
mento—Gold Mining Works—Gold of Western
America—Towns—Government, and General Topo-
graphy.

DEATH OF GENERAL SIR THOMAS ARBUTHNOT.
—On Friday morning, at one o'clock, after a hurt ill-
ness, the above aged and distinguished General breath,-d
his last at his residence in Salford, Manchester. Fur
some time past the General had enjoy+•d unusually good
health, and on Thursday week spent most of the day in
hunting. It is Lupposed that his illnesi was brought on
by taking cold on that occasion, which resulted in in-
flammation of the lungs. The deceased was about 72
years of age.

GRATITUDE or THE POOR.—So much has been
lately said, sad perhaps with reason, of the ingratitude of
the poor that we are truly rejoiced to be able to record an in-
stance of the contrary feeling. In our leading article of
Saturday last we referred to the conduct of the Bishop of
London towards the Rev. Dr. Emerton, twelve years
curate of Hanwell, and the address of the parishioners
on the occasion, together with the gratifying testimonial of
respect presented by them to their former pastor. On Thurs-
day last the humbler classes of the village 'presented to Dr.
Emerton's son a very elegaet silver candlestick, on which is
engraved—" Presented to Wolsley P. Emerton, when fire
years old, by his father's friends in the village of Hanwell,
January 25th, 1819." Thus rnaniftsticg their respect and
regard for the parent, although he no longer stood in the
same relation to them as before. A new and apienciidflag
was raised on the occasion, having upon it " Hanwea
schools, one sowetb, the other reapeth." A very appropriate
motto for the instructor and pupil, although the allusion to
recent events cannot be misunderstood.

The position of the Bank of England, viewed in refer-
ence to the interests of its proprietary, was apparently
rather mere faveurable last week, thou is closer investi-
gation chows that the addition to the note circulation
did not result from extra discount business, but rather
from a withdrawal of deposits. The precursor of fuller
erepleyment ftr assets is. however, usually a reduction
of private balances, and until this premeds to a further
extent we shell not. probably have any material aug-
mentation of the Bank of England discount business.
