NICHOLAS AND LOUIS PHILIPPE

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—lt may help us to understand a thing done to-
day if we regard a similar thing done some time ago.
In the panic of 1825.6, a City millionaire, who had
not been on the best of terms with some City bank. rs,
called on them unexpectedly, and, after expressing his
fear that they might have an inconvenient run on them,
and his anxiety to serve them, begged them to accept a
deposit of (it was said) 1,000,0001. in Exchequer-bills
and notes. The deposit was accepted with many ex-
pressions of thankfulness. In the Bank parlour the cir-
cumstance was discussed, and it was resolved that the
bills and notes should be sealed up and put in the strong
room till callt•d for. When the run on the Bank came
the millionaire called, as had been expected, for his de-
posit, and had the mortification of finding that he was
baulked of his intended revenge by being paid off with
his own sealed packets.
Will Louis Philiippe seal up Nicholas's 2,000,000/ ?
Will Nicholas call for his deposit when the run comes?
Yours, &c., QUERY.
March 20.

THE ARM 1, &c.
The 88th Regiment arrived at Barbadoes on the 20t1
February, per the Herefordshire. There were a few'
cases of measles on board, which caused the ship to be
put in quarantine. General Berkeley arrived at Bar-
twines on the 23d of February, and assumed the com-
mand.
The 16th Regiment left Gibraltar on the 9th instant.
There was nut a man in the slightest degree disguised in
liquor, and the entire corps maintained its credit for
steadiness and sollier-like conduct to the last.
The Euryalus, convict ship, arrived at Gibraltar on
the 9th of March.
A line-of-battle ship passed Gibraltar from the west-
ward, without showing colours, on the evening of the
9th of March, and a line-of battle ship was signalled to
the eastward on the morning of
tithedhe 10th of March,
supposed to be the Vengeance,
Malta, but she had not shown colours.

The wheat markets of the French departments aro
still actives with an advance in quotations from lf. to sf. prr
hectolitre, and, notwithstanding the hopes entertained in
most quarters that suni.lius fr-t-ri the north
nf Europe will
betore lung be available, purchases had not in the least ce-
creased. The great alarm prevailing caused all who could
command the means to secure a supply.

We beg to call the attention of the patrons of the
fine arts to a collection of water colons paintings (formerly
the property of a gentleman well known in the artiatical
worl.l, James Stewart, Esq.), which we are sorry to say are
to be submitted for sale by auction on Thursday next, by
Messrs. Christie and Manson. Works collected with so
much judgment and taste ought not to be separated, and it
is greatly to be desired they should pass altogether into the
hands of some spirited collector. The drawings are of an
important size (most of them) and include the names of De-
wint, Cattermole, Hunt, Rayner, Wright, Austin, and other
distinguished artists :—we have never seen finer specimens of
these great masters of water colour painting. We cannot
help recommending those of our readers who sincerely love
the works of this extraordinary school to visit this exhibi-
tion on or before the day of sale.

WEST INDIES.

Our file of papers from British Guiana extends to the
17th of February. Lord Grey, in his dispatch to the
Governor, pays high compliment to the Court of Policy
and Attorney-General for the zeal and ability with which
they have framed and carried several Bills through the
Legislature to assimilate the laws of the colonies to the
laws of the mother country, among which is an Act for
the establishment of trial by jury, the operation of
which, although a novelty, is carried out better than was
anticipated. Among the parties tried was a male coolie
o
for the murder of a female coolie. He was convicted.
and sentenced to be executed on the 20th inst. An in-
fluenCal meeting had been held in Georgetown for the
Irish rod Scotch distress.

Corn riots have taken place at Beaugency and a`
Chateaudun. It was reported that the rioters had
killed the mayor of the latter place. DiAturbances
of a very serious nature had taken place at Bergerac.,
where the mob had threatened to fire the town. A •
detachment of the 14th Regiment of the lixe had
been dispatched to reilifOrce the garrison.
The Courrier Fruncai.v states that the Duke DE

a personage to offer a gratuitous insult to the whole

DE JOINVILLE was about to Like a trip to the coast of

THE SOUTH-EASTERN SCHEMES.

The cross-examination of Mr. Bidder by Mr. TALBOT was
continued. The tenor of the cross-examination was to show
that bad gradients, such as 1 in 136, were now-a-days not
objected to by engineers, but Mr. Bidder declined to admit
as much. Where a better gradient could not be obtained, a
gradient of 1 in 136 ought to be adopted, and no doubt, under
such circumstances, it might easily be worked. But he made
a point of never taking a gradient so severe as 1 in 136 when
he could find a better. There were nine junctions
between London and Ashford, but he did not consider that
objectionable. With the view to speed, these junctions
would be no disparagement of the line as being productive
of delay.
Mr. Bidder was also cross-examined by Mr. HOPE, on
behalf of Sir Percival Hard Dyke. Mr. Bidder admitted
that the line would do considerable damage to that gentle-
man's residence and property, but the company were pre-
pared to make him every accommodation.

EDUCATION.

Mr. C. BERKELLY wished to ask the Noble Lord at
the head of the Government a question 01 very great
importance, wLich tires causing great agitation through-
out the country: whether it was the intention of the
Government to persevere in the schk me. of education as
laid do,in in the rntnutes of the Council? If he answered
that in the affirmative, when was it his intention to
bring the miscellany ous estimates Wore the (louse?
Lord J. RUSSELL said L was the intention of the
Government to persevert—(Loud cheers)— in the plan
of educati.,n laid down in the minute: or the Council.
Ile had to state, also, that he would bring on the miscel-
laneous estimates alter E.. ter, and would take vote
tor education un the 19. h of April.

EASTER RECESS.

The Earl of WICKLOW said it had been intimated
by the Noble Earl the Secretary for the Colonies, on
behalf of the Noble Marquis the President of the Council,
that he would, on Tuesday next, move the adjournment of
the House till the 13th of April, but he (Earl of Wick-
low) hoped that they would adjourn till the Thursday
instead of the Tuesday according to invariable custom.
as it would be much more convenient to those Peers
connected with Ireland, who might, therefore, have to
go to a distance.

Earl GREY said he of course could give no answer
at present to the Noble Earl's suggestion, but if it
should appear more convenient to some of their Lord-
ships, and if it would not interfere with the
course of public business ho expected that the wishes
of the Noble Earl would be met by his Noble Friend
the President of the Council.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

Cochineal—Continues scarce; our last quotation of 44
re. per 10. is fully maintained.
Beer—Adsop s there is none. The quality of this
l,r,w has been highly approved of this year, and we have
heard of a great demand fI. it, orders to a large extent
having already arrived from up countries for those of
last October brew, expected to arrive here in the month
of April next.
Bass—There is a moderate stock ; quotations 50r. per
hogshead.
Cotton—On the arrival of the overland mail of the
24th December the prices advanced, and 80r. were paid
for old Dhollerah, and 84r. for Broach and Jambooser;
but soon after the price declined, owing to the rise in
freight. The ensuing crop has been slightly injured in
the Goozerat provinces by the frost, but it is calculated
the product of the season, when put together, of all the
growing countries, will still exceed that of last year.
There are only small quantities of New Kandeish ar-
rived, which have been sold at 86r. per candy. Tht•
following are the quantities purchased since the Ist inst.
for both English and China markets :-
500 bales Dhollerah and Bhownughur, at 80 rupees.

The following are the particulars of the purchases
made since the Mail of the 7th of January arrived, from
which will be observed, that although favourable accounts
from England were received, yet the prices remain
nearly the same as before; excepting on Compta a slight
advance has been obtained. We do not look for any
material advance on tha present price, owing to the ex-
treme scarcity of tonnage :-
1,000 bales old Broach and Jumbooser, at 82i rupees.

Opium has slightly risen, and I,loors. been paid fur
first quality.
Freight, owing to the extreme scarcity of tonnage, has
risen to 71. for Liverpool, at which actual engagements
have taken place to the extent of 3,500 bales; and we
quote the same rate for London. To China it has ad-
vanced to 21irs., at which the whole cargo of a vessel
' has been taken. As our cotton crop is large, it is ex-
pected that the freight throughout the busy cotton sea-
' son will keep up high.
Exchange has risen 2s. id. for bills from China, and
to 2s. id. to 2s. ,td. for local, six months' sight; and at
all these rates large transactions have been done for the
mail.
