that one boat landed at Rochester, on Saturday last, 130
passengers, mostly merchants and business men, en route
to New York, and other points, to purchase goods for
the Canadian market. The number is quite unprece-
dented ; and the fact furnishes a gratifying commentary
upon that policy which opens the ports of the Atlantic
to enable us to anticipate the trade of England with
Canada, through the St. Lawrence.

MONEY MARKET.
The proposals for the eighteen million loan are to be
opened on the 10th inst. It is pretty well understood
here that there will be a large number of applicants for
scattering lots, at a fraction over par, and that a com-
pany of speculators from this city will be on the spot,
prepared to take the balance, provided they can make
the necessary arrangements as to the time of payment.
On this point there will be some difficulty. If the
terms can be made easy by the secretary, so that he will
not require more than 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 dollars a
month, which will enable the holders to distribute the
loan in different points, then the loan will be taken wi:h-
out difficulty.
It is, however, 'stated that the wants of the Govern-
ment are very great, and that something like 5,000,000
dollars will be speedily wanted. If the Secretary of the
Treasury should refuse to make any arrangement for a
moderate and gradual mcnthly payment of the loan,
then the difficulty of making the negotiation will be in-
creased. It is difficult to predict what will be the result.
The capitalists who will be on the spot will be prepared
to make the best terms possible, and, of course, to take
All reasonable advantages of the necessities of the Go•
vernment.

It is understood that parties taking the loan will be
permitted to pay for the same in specie, at different
points—viz., at New Orleans, and other places. This is
to avoid the inconvenience of receiving the specie in
New York, and of transporting it to distant points.
If the necessities of the Government should be such as
to require a large amount to be paid in at once, and this
sum should have to be paid here, it would take a very
large amount of money from our banks, and would create
at least., a temporary pressure for money. There would
not be the slightest chance for this loan to be taken were
it not from the belief among many of the bidders that
them- will shortly be a peace. If the war should con-
tinue more money would be wanted, and stocks would
go down much below par. If, however, there should be
a peace, there would be a rapid advance. It is this con-
tingency that induces some capitalists to go into the spe-
culation.

The bid for this loan will be wholly on American so-
count, so far as we have been able to ascertain the facts,
and not a dollar will be taken on foreign account.

THE LATE REV. JOSIAS WILSON.
The Scotch church at River-terrace, Islington, was on
Sunday morn ng a scene of considerable excitement, in
consequence of its being expected that the Rev. James
Hamilton, .of Regent-square, would preach SI funeral ser-
mon for the late minister of the church, the Rev. Josias
Wilson, whose lamented decease seems to have bean felt
as a public calamity in the neighbourhood.
At an early hour the church doors were thronged
with well-dressed persons of both sexes, for the meat
part attired in mourning. The service did not commence
until the usual hour, eleven o'clock, but long before, that
period the seats were filled with parties admitted by
tickets through the side•cloor. The Rev. Mr. Shepherd,
of Kingussie, Inverness-shire, commenced the service by
reading the forty-second Psalm, part of which was sung
with great power and feeling by the assembled congre-
gation. It has rarely been our lot to witness a scene of
more impressive solemnity than that which presented
itself, while the simple but sublime strains of the
Psalmist were being sung by the whole body of the
people ; their rude melody was admirably adarted to
portray emotions of sorrow and distress, and struck us
as most affecting. The lesson was the 22d of Acts,
and while it was being read the audience evidently felt
its appositeness—one part especially seemed to call forth
great emotion, " And they all fell upon Paul's neck, and
kissed him, sorrowing most of all, that they should see
his face no more."

Mr. Hamilton's text was from Romans viii., verse 10.
The theme was admirably chosen, inasmuch as it showed
forth the glory of Christianity, as presenting the only
real antidote to the ills of life, as well as the eventual
triumph that shall result to those who sincerely embrace
and practice its principles even over death and the grave.
The audience listened throughout to the reverend
orator with the deepest attention. It was a discourse
marked by sound theology and great talent ; when he
spoke of the personal character of deceased it was
evident that he had greatly endeared himself to his
flock, for we noticed many a falling tear ;
" E'en manly eyes did not disdain to weep."
We have gone out of our usual course in noticing this
event, and we have done it mainly to show how ready
the people are to appreciate true wortb, and what
homage even the moat careless and indifferent as it were
involuntarily pay to an embodiment of genuine
Christianity, such as Mr. Wilson's undoubtedly was.
His mortal remains rest in Highgate Cemetry ; they
were followed to the grave, we understand, by thousands,
the great majority of whom were not of his own congre-
gation. His monument, the reverend gentlemen in-
formed his hearers, in a strain of no common eloquence,
should be such as no marble can emblaion—even the
Christian virtues and, excellencies of the- people, whom
he loved so well. The evening service was preached by
the Rev. Dr. Morgan, of Belfast, a personal and inti-
mate friend of the late pastdr, and who, strange to say,
was invited here by Mr. Wilson, to assist him in dis-
pensing the Sacrament, which takes place next Sunday ;
but, alas, he had a more sorrowful task to perform. The
church, as in the morning, was crowded to excess, and
nothing could exceed the intense feeling which cha-
racterised this eminent divine's discourse, and the grief
with which the hearers listened to the allusion made to
their lamented friend.

SPANISH BONDHOLDERS.
The Committee of the Spanish Bondholders Associa-
tion have received from Don Jose Borrajo, the Spanish
financial agent in London, the copy of a dispatch ad-
dressed to him by the new Minister of Finace, M.
Salamanca, of which the following is a translation :
" Madrid, 16 1847
" The definitive arrangement of the Spanish April debt,' so long
paralysed and dormant, owing to the sad events of which
Spain has been the theatre for the last 13 years, has claimed,
as it could no less, the attention of the Government from the
moment when the individuals composing it had the honour of
obtaining the confidence of her Majesty.
" Decided to begin at once this act of justice, interest, and
national duty, they have thought that, in order to satisfy
worthily the just hopes of the creditors of the State, it is in•
dispensable to proceed with
-'loyalty and good faith to the
examination and full discussion of the whole extent of
existing claims, and of the means which can be applied to
the solution of them ' • and in order that the measures they
propose may have all the prestige and favourable recommen-
dation suited to such grave matters, they have determined,
by a decree of this date, on the nomination of a commission
composed of well-informed and special persons, to whom
shall be submitted from the various departments of Govern-
ment all the data and documents necessary for the exact
knowledge and examination of this affair, and to whom will
be presented by this Ministry the suitable instructions and a
note of the amount of the values which can be applied to so
sacred an obligation.
" For the better elucidation of so important a business,
the Government also desires that the creditors of the State
should have a direct and immediate intervention in the pro-
gress of the labours of this commission, and with this view
it has resolved that you, placing yourself in communication
with the committees of Spanish bondholders already existing,
or which may be formed expressly for this object, may make
them acquainted with the views of frankness which the
Government of her Majesty entertains, and that you invite
them to nominate a person sufficiently- authorised and send
him to this capital, in order that, joining the commission
named and assisting at its sittings, in union with the other
representatives of the rest of the creditors of the State, na-
tional and foreign, that commission may more satisfactorily
fulfil its mission.

" You will in due time give me advice, for the information
of her Majesty, of the progress you make in the fulfilment of
this charge, of the steps you take with that end, and of the
results you obtain.

" I communicate this to you by a royal order for your
knowledge and guidance. God preserve you many years.
" JOSE DE SALAMANCA.
" To the Finance Commissioner in London."
In compliance with the tenour of this dispatch, the
Committee of the Association of Spanish 13.u:dholdol s
have appointed Mr. James Henderson, who has bier
' several months in Madrid engaged in prosecuting the
claims of the bondholders, to attend the tut clings of the
commission named by the Spanish Government, and to
send reports of its proceedings.

HIGHWAY ROIIIIF:RY AND MURDER.—Roctiroßn,
SUNDAY.—For several days a great deal of excitennn et has
prevailed in this town, in consequence of the deat:i of an old
man named James Terry. in Rochford union poor-house, who
was attacked and robbed by a footpad a few nights since, in
a bye-lane between Rochford and Canewdon. The inquest
an the body was opened by Mr. Codd, the county coroner, on
Saturday last, at the union-house, Rochford. when the sub-
joined facts were elicited. It appeared that about eleven
o'clock on Wednesday. the 31st ult., the unfortueate de-
ceased, who was nearly in his 70th year, was proceeding
down-the lane abovementioned, when he was accosted by a
man, a perfect stranger, who asked deceased if he could tell
him the time. He pulled out his watch, and, giving the
hour, proceeded onwards; but in a few minutes he suddenly
felt himself struck as if by some sharp instrument, such as a
hoe or a bill, and became insensible. When found, which
was about two hours after the attack, he was still in-
sensible from the effects of the blow, and bleeding from
several wounds about the head. He was immediately
conveyed to the union•house, where, through the exer-
tions of the medical gentlemen called in, he shortly re-
covered. He related the nature of the attack uponhim, and,
searching his pockets, said his assailant had plundered him
of his watch, 4s. 6d. in silver, a knife, a bag, and a key.
From the description he gave of the robber the police, under
the superintendence of Mr. Lowe, of the rural force, captured
several men, who were conveyed before the old man, and
one of them, named James Wiltshire, he identified as being
the fellow who committed the outrage. Confirmatory proof
was added by the deceased's watch being traced in his pos-
session, while the bag, knife, and key, were found on his
person when taken into custody. Wiltshire was taken before
the magistrates at Rochford, who, on the depositions of the
old man, committed him to Chelmsford to take his trial at
the ensuing assizes, on the charge of highway robbery.
The deceased lingered but a few days after Wiltshire's com-
mitment, and died from the effects of the attack on Tuesday
last. It being desirable that the accused should be present
at the inquiry, it was adjourned for three weeks, so as to
allow the coroner to consult with the authorities at the
Home-office for his attendance before the jury.
MAILS..--SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 27.—The Oriental
Company's steam-ship Montrose, Captain Burney, left the
docks at three r.m. this day for Gibraltar, with the Penin-
sular and Mediterranean mails, a full cargo, and about eigh-
teen passengers. The Ripon, Captain Moresby, is hourly
expected with the East India and China mails; there aro
among the passengers Sir Henry Smith and family, whose
friends are awaiting his arrival with anxiety, at Hadley 's
Hotel. The Tiger, Captain Hamilton, arrived yesterday
from the Italian ports, leaving •Genoa on the 13th of April,
Gibraltar the 19th, Naples the Btb, atut, Leghorn the 11th.
She has brought home forty-six passengers. The Tiger has

Fool) Mors IN BBILLIN.Vire learn from the
Prussian Gazette of the 23d instant, that disturbances had

taken place. in the market-places of owing to a pre-
valent opinion among the populace that the holders of pota-
toes were asking exorbitant prices. The rioters made several
attetnpts to obtain forcible possession of the stocks of that
vegetable in the hands of various dealers, and, towards even-
ing, collected in such numbers that it was necessary to call
out a detachment of infantry and a squadron of cavalry in
order to disperse them.
The late Lord Saye and Sele has bequeathed to
the Lock Hospital 1,0001., and 10,000/. to each of his cousins
—the Rev. Charles Twisleton, E. T. Twisleton' and Charles
Twisleton Graves—and has appointed his cousin, the Rev.
Frederick Twisleton, residuary legatee over all his property.
The personalty alone was valued at 45,000/. His Lordship
died on tho 31st of March, aged 49.
The late Right Honourable Lord Bernard T. F.
Howard, who died at Cairo, left personalty in this country
which has been valued at 35,0001., and the same has just
been administered to by his Grace the Duke of Norfolk,. Earl
Marshal, the father of his Lordship, the deceased dying in -
testate.
NATURAL COMPASS.—It is a well-known fact that
in the vast prairies of Texas a little plant is always to Le
found, which, under all circumstances of climate, change of
weather, rain, frost, or sunshine, invariably turns its leaves
and flowers to the north. If a solitary traveller were making
his way across those trackless wilds, without a star to guide
or compass to direct him, he finds an unerring monitor in an
humble plant, and he follows its guidance—certain that it
will not mislead him.— attach and State Gazette.
THE HUMANISING INFLUENCE OF CLEANLINESS.--

Pin of each other; the connexion is obvious between the
a teessof mind_thus produced and habits of respect for others,

for tho3Aigher duties and obligations which no laws
can enforce. On the contrary, a filthy, squalid, noxious
dwelling, rendered still more wretched by its noisome site,
and in which none of the. decencies of life can be observed,
contributes to make its unfortunate inhabitants selfish, sen-
sual, and regardless of the feelings of each other ; the con-
stant indulgence of such passions renders them reckless and
brutal, and the transition is natural to propensities and habits'
incompatible with respect for the property of others or for

The inhabitants continue sanguine in their expectations or

they will not be altogether disappointed. Circumstances,
however, tend to encourage a belief that it will not be a great
one: many horses are amiss, and the fields for tte Cup and
other events will necessarily' fall short of expectation. The
arrivals are confined to sporting men, and up to the vresent
time are not by any means so numerous as usual. -Lastly,

PUGILISM.

J. llAzEurisk AND R. WILLIAMS.—Tbe fistic tcurney
between these oriental knights of the knuckle was ye...-
tertlay duly championed at False Long Itesch, in
tEe Kentish Marshes, on the Londt n side of Wet nhitbe.
Of the men we may observe, that IVilltants is rather
known by his game struggles against defeat than his
triumphant success. Ilia first battle with Sam Martin
was admirable for its courage and perseverance against
superior tactics; and, although subsequently defeated by
that pugilist, he rose in the esteem of his friends. 11. e
may, however, observe that his entry to the pr.ze ring
was some years too late in life, as in 1843, his first ap-
pearance, he had touched his twenty-ninth year. Hazel-
tine, the pectt'ye of the Israelites, albeit not himself
belonging to " the tribes," is twenty-three years of egg,
and had surrendered, a few months since, to Barnash,
of Westminster, who had also been previously conquered
by Martin. The men were nearly of a weight, Wil-
liams drawing 9st. 21b., and Hazeltine not quite reach-
ing 9st. 51b.; but the atter, in addition to his youth,
possesses the advantage of two inches in stature, and a
proportion ite superiority in reach. At eight minutes to
one the men shook hands, and the seconds retired to
their corners, Martin and John Allen attending upon
Williams, and Young Sambo and Jem Turner waiting
upon Hazeltine. The ring, in the absence of the Ve-
teran Commissary, confined by the gout, was formed by
his son and efficient assistants. In the earlier rounds,
Hazeltine exhibited marked improvement iu his style,
jobbing his man heavily in the head as he bored in,
although not escaping an occasional rib-roasting from
the old one's right. Williams took this sharp usage
kindly, but when, in the fifth round, Hazeltine hit him
down by a straight left-hander, after giving
two successive raps without a return, it became
clear that the shorter-armed man was out-fought.
Nevertheless, Williams, with true bull-dog cou-
rage, began the experiment of going in; this,
however, was equally ineffectual, as Hazeltine nobbed
him, jumped away, punished him on the retreat, and
ended almost every round by throwing him when they
came to a close. In the 60th round, having taken a
sufficiency of beating to satisfy any ordinary appetite,
Williams, finding the deliveries of his adversary become
weaker, refused to give in, though advised to do so both
by his seconds and friends; be went down, round after
round, in the hope of prolonging the contest, that some
page in the chapter of accidents might turn in his favour.
From time to time he made a " peck" or two, like a
beaten game-cock, but in vain; he invariably received
more than he had the power to give; and in the-82d round
,his seconds threw up the sponge in token asurrender.
Hazeltine was literally without a serious contusion, save
a print of his opponent's knuckles on his ribs,' and a
slight abrasion of the bark from his very prominent pro-
boils. The duration of the battle was 1 hour and 27
minutes. Previous to leaving the ring, Hazeltine chat-
lunged Martin for 501. a side, which the latter declares
his readiness to accept.

THE LATE EXTENSIVE ROBBERY AT THE LON-
DON AND NORTD-WESTERN RAmwAY.—Yesterday was
the day appointed for the final examination of the numerous
parties charged with having been concerned in a robbery of
7001. worth of goods, at the Camden-station of the London
and North-Western Railway, the property of Messrs. Crow-
ley and Co., the well-known carriers. After the examina-
tion had been gone through, Mr. Phillips, the clerk, read
over the whole mass of evidence which from time to time-
had been given ; two of the parties were liberated, and Page,
whose statement was conclusive as to the guilt of part of
the accused with whom he was.inixed up in the affair him-
self, will be properly secured, so that he may be forthcoming
at the sessions. Eight of the prisoners being committed for
trial.
