HER: MAJESTY'S WED DI NG DRESS,--The
several branches of our manufactures will receive 'a
seasonable impulse from the determination of her Ma-
jesty to be dressed on her approaching nuptials in
articles exclusively of British rabrication—an example
which will, of course, he followed generally by the
ladies of her court. We understand that the Queen's,
wedding-dress will exhibit a superb specimen of British
skill, which will fairly rival the production of any
foreign artists; the trimming of the gown, which i
•of
Honiton lace, will alone cost 1,0004

ScoTTisii HOSPITAL.—A Genecal Court

the Corporation of the above Institution was held yester-
day at the Corporation-hall, Crane-court, Fleet-street, for
the purpose of electing the officers for the ensuing year,
and receiving the accounts of the Charity for the present
year. The Hon. Fox Maule, M.P., was in the Chair. The
Minutes at the last Quarterly Meeting having been read
and confirmed, it was agreed that the Duke of Sutherland
should continue President for the ensuing year. On the
motion that the Marquis of Tweedale should be appointed
to the office of Vice-President, vacant by 'the retirement of
the Duke of Roxburgh, an amendment was made that
Lord Dalmeny be elected. A discussion arose, in which
Archibald Hastie, Esq., M.P., the Honourable Wm.
Frazer, Dr. Brown, Mr. Stuart, and Mr. Dallas took
pint, when the question was put to the vote, and Lord Dal-
meny was elected. Mr. Ware, Mr. Lamb, Mr. Struthers,
Mr. Dallas, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Stirling, were ap-
pointed members of the General Committee ; and Colonel
Drummond and Colonel Acheson were added to the Corn.
mittee for managing the Kenlock bequests. The other
officers were re-dee:eel, and received thanks for their past
services. The Treasurer's report was then read, which
showed that the receipts amounted to 3,5651. IBs., while
the expenditure was 3,138/. 17s. sd. The stock belong-
' lag to the Corporation was—in the Three per Cent. Re-
duced Annuities, 34,225/. 17s. 6d. ; in the Three per
Cent. South-sea Stock, 5,100/. ; and in the Three end a
Half per Cent. Bank Annuities, 3,1821. 9a. 2d. A Com-
mittee of five was then appointed to draw up and present
a congratulatory address to her Majesty, his Royal High-
ness, Prince Albert, and her Royal Highness the-Duchess of
Kent, on the birth of the Princess Royal. Thanks
having been voted to the Chairman, the Court broke op.
The Corporation dined in the evening, when the Duke of
Sutherland presided.
THE HIGHLANDS.—Such of the crops as had
not been secured previous to the last week of October had
to hear the pelting of the adverse elements for the three
following weeks, so that in the latest—we might almost
say the .10vel,lier—distriets, consider able quantities of crop
remained exposed till within the last ten days. Such in-
stances can, however, have no effect on the general abund_
ance of the last harvest's produce... Caledonian Mercury.

TIOUBLE PATENT PERRYIAN FIL-
TER INKSTAND.—PERRY and CO. having
effected considerable improvement in their FILTER INK-
STAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a Second
Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which
they 'have united with their First Patent, under the title
of " DOUBLE PATENT PERRYAN FILTER INK-
STAND." The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Ink-
stand by the public Journals, and the preference obtained for
them over the common Inkstands was almost unprecedented-
The present novel and scientific method of supplying Clear Ink
to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is ex-
ceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely
lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, and shutting it down to
withdraw it; in this state it cannot overflow, whatever may be
the change of temperature, and it is protected from dust of
other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is
filled, it is always ready for use, and the writer wi 1 have a
regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for four or six months.

"LOWER PR9VINCES, FREDERICTON, OCT. 11th:—Tea.—
It will be seen by an article in our first page, that what-
ever may be the result to the Chinese Empire, of, the
present -hostile demonstrations against it, yet the trade in
Tea must soon resume its usual vigour; and abundant

THE LATE DUEL.

After the duel which took place on Wimbledon
Common on Saturday, the Earl of Cardigan, and his
second Captain Douglas, were taken into castody, and
conveyed to the police station-house at Wandsworth,
when they were ordered to find bail to appear before the
Magistrates in Petty Sessions at that plat e on Mcaday.
They accordingly appeared before Messrs. Nottidge and
Brainbridge. The owner of the mill at the edge of the
Common, and the constable who heard the charge,
were examined, and stated that the defendants did not
deny any part of the charge.
Sir James E. Anderson, the surgeon who was em-
ployed on the occasion, stated, that after the removal of
Captain Tuckett to his house, he made an examination,
and found that a pistol bullet had entered in the upper
part of the left hip•bone, slightly shattering it, had
passed transversely, and came out over the spine of the
back bone. He visited the patient again on Sunday,
and the wound was looking well, and he was free from
fever, and though he was seriously wounded, there were
no symptoms of present danger.
The Magistrates having had the evidence read over
to them, consulted for a few minutes, and then decided
that as the case was one of a very serious nature, they
could not be contented with ordinary -..ecognizances, and
should, therefore, order the Earl of Cardigan to enter
into his own recognizance in the sum of 1,0001., and
and Captain D.,uglas in the sum of 5001., to ensure
their re-appearance before that Bench on Monday next.
The Earl of Cardigan and his second then entered
into the required recognizances.

COL. THOMPSON AND THE SUN

We wrote a few words on the 4th instant principally
with a view of preventing our readers from supposing
as we have of late copied several of Colonel Thomp-
son's excellent letters, that we agree with him on all
points. The Colonel has replied to our strictures in a
letter to the Leeds Times, of %%Well the following is the
chief portion cor,cerning ourselves. We lay it before
our readers, without any remarks. being little inclined
to protract the controversy. Our great anxiety is, that
the people should think, judge,and act for themselves :

SOUTH AMERICAN LOANS.

A letter, in the form of a pamphlet, has been ad-
dressed to Mr. G. R. Robinson, as ,Chairman of the
Committee of Spanish American Bondholders, on
the present state of the South American loans. The
writer, Mr. R. C. Wylie, a member of the Commit-
tee, embodies in this publication a condensed history of
the loans in quastion, from the period of their creation
down to the present time, with a development of the
resources of each, and various indications and circum-
stances, from which may be gathered some notion of the
ability and disposition of the borrowing States to pro-
ceed to the honest discharge of the dividends upon them.
7N.lr. Wyllie has evidently paid the most patient atten-
tion to the subject, and as he has the advantage of pos-
sessing great practical aptitude as a financier, and
having passed much of his time among the Spanish
Americans, it could hardly happen but that the task he
has imposed upon himself o
should have been well
performed. Mr. Wyllle's expositionf of the financial

conceived the greatest disgust at the systeemrns
oan jobbing that has
at
long been carried on ato the ex-
pense pense of the English people, and if we appreciate his
motives correctly, it will not be his fault if anye niState
which has shown the want of principle that Spin, Por-
tugal, and the South American States have done, and the
overgerged contractors who have seconded them, are not
effectually stopped in theiriniquitous proceedings, To
us it has always been a matter of astonishment that go
nefarious a system should have been permitted to take
rost in an enlightened community, but our astonish-
ment increases when we come to think of the extent to
which it has been pushed. Impunity
has, however,
given confidence to the people implicated in it, and
the public are, as we see, insulted by the establishment
of agencies in the British metropolis on the part of
G;/ern-nerds, by whom they have been so unmercifully
plundered, through the medium of which they may
continue their depredations whenever the opportunity
is atyorded. Mr. Wyllie snakes the gross amount of
capital involved in the South American loans, with the
dividends
due upon them, upwards of 34} millions, in-
cluding six millions applicable to Brazil ; the annual in-
terest of which is but little short of two millions. Th..,
Brazilians have, thus far, met their engagements with
is
us, and Mexico beginning to do something, though
certainly not much, towards a liquidation of her arrears ;
but the hOlk of that
irretrievably lost to the unfortunate
would appear to be almost

CHI MBURGEI MAIL.

HANOVER, SEPT. B.—We hear that the provincial
estates of East Friesland have drawn up a protest
agalast the new `.:onstitution, and have sent it to his
Najrsty's Cabinet.
HasovEn, SEPT. 9.—The bulletin of the health of
the Crown Prince continues to be very favourable.
COLOGNE, SEPT. s.—We learn from Posen that
Arndt has been prevailed upon by his friends to accept
the office of Rector of the Uoiversity, to which he
has been elected. He will, therefore, fill this high
effic,t from autumn 1840 till the autumn of 1841.
Much good is expected from him. It is to be hoped
that the number of students will be much increased.
Boss, SEPT. s.—ProfesEor Arndt, immediately on
being re-established in his professorship, declared to
thf• superior authorities that he could not consider his
re-instilment complete till his papers, which have been
sequestrated for 21 years, were restored to him. This
reasonable request has, by the orders, been
complied with. Besides this, as by 20 years' suspen•
sion, he has sustained great loss of fees, which ht
would have rreeived for admission to his lectures, an
iaderanity of 10,000 doliars is said to be allotted to
him, a sum which may be called moderate, as the lec-
tures of such a professor as Arndt are very well attended.

PRINTED PAPERS.

Lord MAHON inquired when it was intended to
bring up the Report on the Printed Papers Bill, which
was now a dropped Order from yesterday.
Lord J. RUSSELL—When the dropped Orders
were considered, it was his intention to ask leave of
the House to bring up the Report then. It was his
intention to propose the third reading of the Bill on
Friday next. . _

Sir E. SU GDEN hoped that an opportunity would
be reserved to him for bringing up his clauses.
Lord J. RUSSELL understood the Honourable and
Learned Gentleman intended to bring up his clauses on
the third reading of the Bill.
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET had moved for
certain papers connected with the case of Mr. Ste-
phenson about ten days ago, and he wished to know
when they were likely to be laid on the table.

Lord J. RUSSELL was not aware of the situation
in which these papers were.
Colonel WOOD begged to ask the Honorable
Member for Finsbury when he intended to bring for-
ward his motion relating to the Coroners of Middlesex.
Mr. W AKLEY—This evening.
NON-INTRUSION.

Lord CASTLEREAGH begged to ask whether it
was the intention of her Majesty's Government to bring
forward any measure on the subject of non-intrusion ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was not then prepared, but
would give the Noble Lord an answer in the course of
a few days.

The dropped Orders of the Day of Monday were
then read over.

On the Order of the Day for the second reading of
the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill being read,
Lord .1. RUSSELL said it was his intention, if the
House had sat yesterday, to have stated that he did
not intend to move the second reading of the Eccle-
siastical Duties and Revenues Bill at present. He had
received within the last few days a proposition for cer-
tain persons who had been long engaged in the ma-
nagement of deans and chapters, and as the Bill in its
present shape was not likely to meet the approbation
of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other dig-
nitaries of the Church, it was his intention to submit it
to them before it was again brought forward. He
should therefore postpone the second reading till Fri-
da), se'nnight. _

CHILDREN'S FRIEND SOCIETY,

In consequence of severalcomplaints maa e before Po-
Hoc Magistrates in London last year by vs, orthlret pa-
rents end their children of the treatment to wl kit ju-
venile emigrants were subjected at the Gape of GsG I
Hope, the subject was taken into consideration by I e
Colonial Secretary, and an inquiry insti.tuted, which
proves that there never was a fouler cidumny raised
against any Society. Captain Brenton hz.d the merit of
establishing this institution, and the itAigratitude with
which he was treated by the objects of Iris benevolence.
and by the maudlin portion of the Loaclon Press, that
make so much noise about their humane intentions,
brought him to an untimely grave. '"he following are
the results of the investigation instituted by the Gover-
nor of the Cape of Good Hope, and published by his
authority
'The inquiry which was, by the advertisment of
the 13th :::epternber last, directed to be made into the
condition of the juvenile emigrants,, serving in this Co-
lony under indentures made by the Commissioners,
under Ordinance, No. 3, of 183 G, baring been brought
to a close, his Excellency the Governor desires thus
publicly to offer his thanks so Majors Longmore,
Piers, Barnes, and Captain Kill for the manner in
which they have conducted thisi investigation..
His Excellency confidently- trusts that these re-
ports will satisfy her Majesty's Government, and ef-
fectually disabuse the public mind in England, as to
the general treatment and actual condition of those
apprentices ; he deems it just to record his opinion
that the parent Society In England, as well as the
Commissioners on the scot, deserve the thanks of the
community, instead of the unmerited reproach to which
they have been subjected.

" To the Senate and House of Representatives of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania :
Gentlemen,—Please to communicate to the Legislature
the information that the loan authorized by the Att. of the 22d

1." ;1100,000 by the President, Directors, and Company of
the Bank of Pennsylvania ; $lOO,OOO by the Girard Bank ;
and the balance by the Bank of the United States : by reason
of which the commonwealth is not able to pay and discharge
8 650 ,000 of the interest which fell due upon the Ist instant
upon the loans.
" The amount provided by the Legislature for the payment

" From a statement now furnished by that officer, it ap-
Pears that the whole amount cf interest due on the Ist instant,

irritability and discolorations of the skin, and promptly re-
establishes a clear and healthy tone of surface, while its sus-
taining properties, and generally pleasing effects, in obviating
01* consequences of variable temperature upon the delicacy and

usually limited to the earlier periods of personal attraction.
