CONTRACTS FOR COAL SACKS AND COAL BAGS.
DEPAR'INIENT OF THE STOREKEEPER-GENERAL OF
THE NAVI, SOMERSET-PLACE, APiuL7,
THE COMMISSIONERS for EXECUT-
ING the OFFICE of LORD HIGH ADMIRAL of
he UNITED KINGDOM of GREAT BRITAIN and IRE-
LAND do hereby give Notice, that on THURSDAY, the 6th
May next, at One o'clock, they will be ready to treat w ith
such Persons as may be willing to Contract for supplying her
Majesty's Dock Yards at Deptford and Woolwich (under a
contract for Twelve Months certain, and afterwards until the
expiration of Three Months' vvarning,l with
COAL SACKS AND COAL BAGS.
Patterns, and a Form of the Tender, may be seen at the said
Office.
No Tender will be received after One o'clock on the Day
of Treaty, nor any noticed, un:ess the Party attends, or an
Agent for him duly authorised in writing.
Every Tender must be addressed to the Secretary of the Ad-
mii alty, and bear in the left hand corner the words " Ten-
der for ," and must also be delivered at Somerset-
place, accompanied by a Letter signed by two responsible per-
sons, eneaging to become bound with the person tendering, in the
sum of 5001. for the due performance of the Contract.

for the purposes of trade than that of Macao ; a settle-
meat formed there will be capable of maintaining itself
independently of the Chinese, and the recognition of a
territorial right in the British Crown, as well as the
terror of the British name, will give our countrymen
advantages which were never possessed by the Portu-
guese in China." It being, however, as we have said,
ad in the way of business that holes should be picked,
or seem to be picked, somewhere in the announced
arrangements, the Times .affects to find a flaw in the
silence upon the question of the opium trade, ,:which
it describes as having been " the real cause of the
war." The cause of the war was the violent spoliation
and coercion of British subjects, and the insolent disrc-
izard of tile rights of the representatives of this country.
For reparation of these wrongs, and not for the opium
trade, or any other trade, we showed .ourselves in arms
on the coast of China. It is true that the same con-
cessions which secure the future rights of our func-
tionaries will secure the advantages which will naturally
fl„)iv from those rights to our commerce. And the ter-
ritorial position which we have obtained as further in.
(felinity and security, will confer advantages of the
most important nature on our commercial interests.

(From the C'ourier.)
The Non-intrusionists in Scotland are preparing to
play their last card. By dint of agitation they have
gathered around them a goodly number of silly old
women, and, as the late Dr. Andrew Thomsen, •of
Edinburgh, happily expressed it, "sillier old men
and if they do not obt sin from Parliament the recog,
nition of their " fundamental principle," as demanded
and the sar:rifice of the Ministers of Strathhogie, as vic-
tims on the altar of the Church's independence, they,
along with their congregations, are to secede! and,being
the majority, to break up the Establishment ! The plot
is developed in a " Letter to Dr. Cook and the Mo-
derate Brethren," who, in order to save the Kirk from
this terrible calamity, are very coolly called upon to
sacrifice all the principles that uphold the Reformation
itself! In our paper of the Ist of March, we warned our
readers of this plot, which is now maturing. It is, no
doubt, thought " a good plot"—" an excellent plot r"
but we venture to say, that it will not succeed. Since
Dr. Forbes, of Aberdeen, published his " Considerations,'
the points at issue in this Scotch-kirk-controversy are
standing forth in broad relief; and the contest is
resolving into the narrow field of civil or spiritual su-
premacy in this land of Protestant light and liberty.
'['he issue of this contest cannot be doubted ;
but independent of this we venture to say, that the
discoveries that will be made under the search-
ing ordeal of judicial decisions will astonish
" the weak capacities" of our Presbaterian friends,
on " the north side of the Tweed " They have
Leen indulging in a dream of spiritual independence,
from which, thanks to their own folly, they are about
to be awakened with a witness ; and if at the Re-
formations in 1560 and 1638, and at the Revolu-
tion in I 68S, it is found that this dream was very
far from being realized, the chances in its fa-
vour are wonderful), diminished in 1841. In the
meantime we venture to predict that, whether
patronage is to be sacrificed to Non-intrusion, or to
what extent the monster is to be muzzled, the Strath.
bogie ministers will never he sacrificed to the indepen-
dence of the Kirk ; aid if this is the tenure on which
the dominant faction are to remain within the Est.ih-
lishinenr, the sooner they secede the better. It would
indeed be a pity if the Church of Scotland should fall
with them ; but, " Fiat juslilie. rout calum."

GREENWICH F A I It.
The QUICKEST and CHEAPEST TRAVEL-
LING to GREENWICH is by the BLACK WALL
RAILWAY and the STEAMERS which ply between that
place and the Railway Terminus at the Brunswick Pier. The
Railway Trains start every quarter of an hour from Half-past
Eight in the Morning till a Quarter before Nine at Night ;
and, during the Easter Holidays,,will be even later. Fares by
the Railway t —First Class, 6d. ; Second Class, 4d.
STEAM BOATS to WOOLWICH will pass between that
place and Blavkwall every Quarter of an Hour throughout the
day, Fares, 4d. ; and to Gravesend, by the new boat " The
Brunswick," every day at Half past Nine, Half-past One, and
Half-past Fire o'clock. Fares—Chief Cabin, ls. ; Fore Ca-

PA TTISON, leaves the TERRACE PIER, GRAVESEND,
