SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURN ALS.

FROM TOE DAILY PAPERS OF 1 ESTr.IiDAY.
(From the Globe.)
The Standard last night, in an article devoted to an-
ticipations and predictions as to the principal busi-
ness which will come before Parliament after the recess,
leys special stress on " the motion of Sir Robert Inglis,
for extending the means of religious worship in some
approximation to the wants of the country." This sub-
ect, we are assured, is among those which, from their
supreme importance, will " force themselves upon nub-
lie attention" at the re-assembling of Parliament. That
the imperturbable Baronet will again bring forward
his pet scheme of " Church Extension," we have
little doubt—that when he does bring it for-
ward, it will share the fate which has invariably attended
it, we are assured, not merely from the extravagance
of the proposal, which is so utterly impractical,le us
to render its being entertained by the House of Cern-
mons, with anything like gravity, out of the question—
but also from the present policy of the cooler portion
of the Tory pat ty, which has become increasingly eon-
scieus that its only hope of office rests upon assuming
a tone and bearing of moderation, hoping thus to con-
ciliate the nation, by inducing the• betel that they arc
vastly different from their predecessors—that they have
eschewed the evils which rendered the Tories of fencer
days odious to the people ; are ready to conform them-
selves to the spirit of the age ; and in all things dis-
play themselves advocates of improvement, liberality,
and retrenchment. Such professions are odious to tice
Standard, who deems tl'em an abandonment of principle
for expediency ; and therefore denounces and pro-
scribes Sir Robert Peel for thus hiddiag high for popu-
larity. The inflexible Protestant organ has again and
again virtually proclaimed the nominal leader of the Tories
as unworthy to be the head, or even a member of a
Prote:stant administration ; and has warmly exhorted
the " Conservative democracy" to look out for leaders
who will concede nothing to expediency ; the raid
" Conservative democracy" being at the same time en-
couraged by the assurance that such leaders are ready
to obey their call, to place themselves at their head,
and to rescue the Protestant Establishment from the
hands of the base trucklers, who have betrayed it into
the hands of those who sought its destruction.
(From the Standard.)
We have hitherto maintained upon the subject of the
.ate visitation at York that reserve which we feel
to be due by the public press to all judicial proceed-
ings ; and as the party principally concerned has
declared his purpose of carrying the case to some
ulterior tribunal, the considerations which first en-
joined silence are still in full force. It is true that the
court of primary jurisdiction has made its award, and
that that award is entitled to all the respect due
to the high character of the tribunal ; but
wherever the law allows of an appeal, the primary
sentence can be regarded as at beet only raising a pre-
sumption ; and this presumption will be of more or
less weight according to the nature of the defence.
Where a party accused acknowledges the jurisdic-
tion, and defends himself upon the merits, the pre-
sumption, upon a conviction, will be sexy strong
against him, where, as in the case before us, the cha-
racter of the Court for probity and intelligence is
above exception ; but where, on the other hand, a
defendant, whether well or ill advised,- denies the
authority of his judges, and withholds his defence
upon merits, it is quite plain that the trial must be
upon ex party evidence, and upon such evidence the
most able and upright judge may come to an erroneous
decision. We are not justifying the line taken by the
Dean of York ; still less are we desirous to impeach
the sentence pronounced against him. We• would be
understood as merely arguing that unless that sentence
shall be found to be legally afinal one, the case is nayet
ripe for animadversion by the public journals; and that
if, unfortunately for the sufferer by it, it shall be
ascertained to be a sentence without appeal, the
late Dean must be looked upon as one who may be the
victim of a mistake as to his proper line of defence, and
possibly a man wholly innocent of the charges by which,
through this mistake, he has suffered himself to be
overwhelmed without resistance. In short, we hold it
our duty to regard the late Dean as at present no more
than an accused man, and therefore entitled to the or-
dinary presumption in such cases, that how strong sohver
the prima facie case against him, he may yet be able to
rebut it.

The mercantile accdunts from Ceylon, brought
by the cvorland mail, refer with di3satisfaciien to a n-.ca-
sure that was about to be'enforced by the Custom House
authorities—the weighing of coffee at the Custom House
previous to shipment. It was saii to be unnecessary for
these reasons :—the merchant in his business is obliged
to take the exact weight of all his coffee, and there
is every inducement for him to make a correct return
to the Custom House ; for on the return ho places
a valuation on which is paid the 2id. per cent.
duty, and ho has likewise to obtain a certificate
from the Custom House that his coffee is of Cey-
lon growth, in order to gain its admission for
home consumption at the low duty, which it
is contended is an effectual guarantee that the
full weight is given, for if it was not, the
surplus would be subjected in England to 28z. extra
per cwt. Besides, the delay in the general progress of
business which would result from such a measure is also
much complained of, considering the short hours (about 4)
to which it is already confined; and further, it is said
there would be considerable r4k in shipping coffee under
such circumsta.ices, from the ticissitudes of a euLer. The
proposed alteration is alt-gether condemna, and if it is to
be carried out, the merchants engaged in the trade scorn
inclined to think that before it can meet with any succe>s
extensive alterations must be made to suit the convenience
of the shippers, to prevent damage from rain, or absorp-
tion in damp weather at the Custom,house, which is at
e-ient hardly sufficient for the business transacted.

The state of the currency in the Nizam's dotni-
nices according to the latest accounts from India, the
most singular and deplorable that can be conceived. The
Nizam's Government at Hyderabad tacitly authorizes no
less than fourteen curroncizs • the country to the south
of Hyderabad is full of Jagheedars and RajahF, who
are nominally independent, each cf whom has his own
mint in which he coins, fixing a value according to the
state of necessities, and thus it becomes nearly impossible
to settle what may be the value of P. certain rupee
after a period of six months. The inconvenience is
greatly increased by the petty sovereigns rigidly
prohibiting their neighbour's coin from passing cur-
rent in their own territory, for the ryots are in conse-
quence, compelled to sail th&r 'produce in the territory to
which they belong; or if they travel a few miles beyond
the narrow limits of the domain, they not only are encum-
bered with the feent:er duty, but arc rlaie.st certain of get-
ting a low rate fey their rule-,. A correspondent who re.
sides in a cantonment in the dominions, describes a market
which is held four times a wed:, where all the ryots of
the_strroundirg slistricts assemble, a;id only one kind of
currency is allowed to pass, notwithstanding there are se-
veral mii.to for issuing copper coin, each of a dift.rent
kind; within six miles, all of which pay a tax to the Go-
vert.ment ler their privilege. Oa account of the
prohibition the Ryots, after leaving t! e basal-, are
ct-dic.l to go to these local mints and exchange the coin
which is alone current at the market. The masters of
the mints are ready enough to take aiventrge of
this circumstance, and the poor ryots are said to lose
nearly hoif the value of their coin by the exchange- The
worst of the matter is, that the Nizani's Government profit
largely by this vicious state of the currency, and are reso-
lutely opposed to all attempts at imprcvcrnent. They find
it nose er their purpose to have a number of taxpaying
mints, and these find the trade of exchanging coin too
profitable to relinquish ; so that a system of extortion is
thoroughly erg%.nized, by which the ryots alone are the
Fuffert2rs,theugh they arc the only people iu the district who
really work for their bread.

LOUIS PIIILIPP-2.—Every day brings for-
wprci some new anecdote honourable to the charrcter of
Louis Peilippe. I will rreTion two which have jest come
to my krowledge. Tley are, perhaps, trifling in them•
selves, but in connection with his gerraral cha-
racter they speak volumes. A short ii ce ago
Louis Philippe lost a common clasp ktire, which
had been the constant companion of his exile
in Switzerland, in America, and in England. The
Polack, was in a kind of consternation at the loss,
for the King had preserved it as a relic of days of
poverty and tribulation, end it was with him a earned
memento of those days in which he p7eferred
poverty to dis}'onour, and the employment of tits tae.
lc nts in honest induetry, to becoming the per siencr
of Kings. Only figure to yourself this Soyelein of
a gi ent 'lathe, surrounded with pomp and luxury,

COURT MARTIAL IN INDIA.

POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE

MORNING JOURNALS.

The Mor•Ling Papers of this day coot lin no leading
articles of any public interest. The Morning herald
discusses the question of Medical Reform, and recom-
mends Mr. Hawes, its chid supporter in Parliament, to
" wash his hands of such a thankless labour." The Times.
speaking of a recent pamphlet on the New Poor-law, says
that " it is well worthy of being generally cerused, as a
specimen of the depth of view, honesty, and veracity cf
sta.ement, which characterize the Poor-law Commissioners
and .their satellites." The Morning Chronicle observes,
in al article on the state of Pauperism in Scotland :
" Glasgow is, ye.hips, at this time, the most flourishing
city in dr, empire ; but the destitution of Glasgow is abso-
lutely frightful. The neglected poor of one part of the
empire lawer the condition of the poor in other parts."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TIMES.—The Consol account, which closed to-day,
has in its progress embraced an important period namely,
that of the alarm occasioned by the M'Leod affair, and the
reaction that has followed it. It opened on the 291 of
February, when the quotation (for the Account) was 89,
and at the hostile appearance of affairs in the United
Strtes, gradually declined to 87i. This was the lowest
point whi.ch Consols touched, and they reached it about
the losginning of March. Teey then began tor rise
steadily, and a considerable impetus was given by the
pacific turn of General Harrison's address, and the
improved state of feeling exhibited in the American
papers that followed the period of inauguration. The
rise. has continued, aud the highest point—namely,
901—was touched to-day. This particular advance
of to-day, must, however, be attributed rather to the
state of the account than to any other cause, as the
" bears" have preponderated. With respect to the events
that have taken place during the progress of this ac-
count, the same remark may be made on the state of the
public feeling as was made during the time when the af-
fairs of the j‘evant assumed the most hostile appearance.
Speculators alone seemed to take advaatago of the poll-
tied aspect, and the public were never alarmed sufficiently
to come into the market as sellers of stock to any extent.
On the contrary, it is supposed that the supply of stock
would barely base sufficed to meet the public demand for
investment, had it not been for the large sales (300,0001.
or 400,0001.) by the Bank broker. To-day large quan-
tities of stock were taken in by some of the leading ca-
pitalists and banking firms.
Consols for money opened very firm, and advanced from
94 to 901, but subsequently the price was not supported.
Money was excessively easy, and, at the close cf the day,
commanded no mere than a nominal value. As an in-
stance of ihis may be mentioned a now vcry.unusual cir-
cumstance which occurred in the course of business, namely,
the lending of Bank notes upon stock, without any interest
being demanded for the temporary accommodaion.
Rio Janeiro papers to the 3d of 'March have been re-
ceived to-day by the Penguin. An article in one of the
Rio papers, which is believed on the spot to have been
written by the Minister of Finance, is expressly directed
against a recurrence to a fresh issue of paper-money as a
way of meeting any part of the deficiency, and hence some
have supposed that a domestic loan will he created to sup-
ply present wantr. It is said that the Minister of Finance
has for some time past been paying debts due before he
came into office, by issuing stock to the parties at 83 ror
cent., which is considerably higher than the market-price.
The exchange on England was quoted at the latest date
30d., and the local stock, 74 to •
As much anxiety has been expresmod *concerning the
probable supply of sugar from the East Indies, some sup-
posing that it would amount to 50,000 tons for the com-
mercial year from the Ist of May, 1840, to the 30th of
April, 1841, and others being of opinion that it would
fall short of that amount, it will be satisfactory to know
that according to a private letter received from Calcutta,
and dated the 13th of February, the export already ex-
ceeds fourteen lacs of maunds, and will, it is computed,
amount in the aggregate to seventeen lacs, which is up.
wards of 62,000 tons.
Another private letter from Calcutta mentions the fact
that the American Cotton-planters were about to start fur
the Jumna.

POST.—The settlement of the account for the English
stock market took place to-day. It proved, as was to be
expected, a distinctly bear account, the pacific arrangements
in various parts of the world having had the effect of sti-
mulating prices since the former settling-day with hardly
any interruption. Money was procurable on exceedingly
easy terms ; so much so, in fact, that Bank notes were
given, on the deposit of stock, to a considerable amount
without interest.

The committee of Spanish-American bondholders met
in the course of the day on the subject of statements that
have been lately published by one of our morning con-
temporaries, on the financial affairs of Mexico. The object
of them was apparently to produce a " rig" at the Stock
Exchange, and the Committee are desirous, in conse-
quence of what has been said of their origin, to trace them
to their source, we moan officially, for there can be little
doubt about the author. _ _

We regret to hear that further disturbances in Peru and
Bolivia are talked of, as, although the purpose of a fresh
insurrection would most likely be the restoration of Santa
Cruz, it is much to be desired, for the sake of the com-
merce of the two Republics, as well as of the Boldholders,
that both should enjoy at length a few years of repose. No
particulars of the rumoured troubles have transpired.

SUN.—This afternoon the Colonial Markets re-opened,
but none of them have yet assumed a healthy appearance, nor
is it likely they will do se until the import duties question
is quite settled. The rather improved demand that has
arisen for Indigo appears to indicate au expectation of a
better trade in manufactures.

It was rather expected in some quarters that the Bank
Directors would have issued a notice today for renewing
the one that expires on the 21st inst. respecting discounts,
but it may probably have been deemed expedient, to post-
pone such a measure until the last moment, in order that
the Direct°Cs may avail themselves .of any change in the
Money Market ; for if, as we are informed, their position is
so much more secu'e than it was, there is some reason, per-
haps, to anticipate an early relaxation in the amount of
interest charged by the Corporation. It is quite as well
in these matters to reflect well before acting. For imme-
diate transfer Consols realized 90+ to 90+, being a rise of
I per cent., and for the 25th May 90+ to or only a con-
tinuation of * per cent. Bank Stock was at 173, and
India Stock rose to 254+ and 255+. The New Three-
and-a- Half per Cents. were marked 99* to -, and the
Three per Cent. Reduced 89+ to Exchequer Bills
were at 12s. to 14s. premium, and India Bonds at 2s. pre-
mium to par.
It is surprising, in the face of so many adverse circum-
stances, that the Peninsular Securities find a market at
all, but although saleable, they are certainly very heavy.
The New Five per Cents. were marked 33i to 11 to-day,
and the Three per Cents. 20-k Spanish Active Bonds
were heavy at 23 to *. Mexican at 31 to 30k. Buenos
Ayres at 24+ to 23+, and Brazilian at 69. Russian Bonds
were at 113, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at
52* to I.
The Railway Shares are still buoyant. Great Western
realized 30, the New 15, the Birmingham 69, and the
South Western 19* premium. Manchester and Leeds
were 3+, and Brighton 3k discount. London and West-
minster Bank Shares brought 2+ premium.
THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—The attention of
the public should be drawn to a subject which, if not
firomptly attended to by the proper authorities, will mate-
rially affect the comfort and convenience of all who may
have business to transact at the Bank and the Royal Ex-
change about to be erected. By virtue of an Act obtained
by the Bank for the widening and improving the streets
adjoining, the old church at tl c corner of St. Bartholo-
mew-lane was puked down, and the ground sold to the
Sun Fire-office, for the purpose of erecting their new
building upon that site, according to a plan approved of by
the Lords of the Treasury, and agreed upon between them.
Whether by an oversight or otherwise, we cannot say, but
certain it is, that the Sun Fire_ocice are now laying down
their foundwion fall four feet in advance of the line as laid
down in their agreement with the Treasury, thus curtailing
by so much the width and dimension of the new street. We
trust that the proper authorities will lose no time in inves-
tigating the Reject, in order that the public may not but 'o:.
by the cupidity of prix ite interests, in direct violation of
the Act made for their protectior.
BOOKSELLING AT PRESTON.--A licensed
hawker having advertised the importation and intended
sale of three thousand v Aneres of cheap books, had been
so !niece 4(11 in his operation, which was carried on in the
open marke'-pllee, that he felt it necessary to apologise to
" the reading public," because his large stock had been
exhausted a day sooner than he Lad anticipated. Ile at
the same time promised the literati of Preston to return
soon with a still more splendid supply for their accommo-
dation.— Granville's Spas of England.
ry

SKILFUL MIMICRY.—I was again at Count
Daru's, and was not a little astonished when Baron Des-
genettes stepped up to me, and expressed a wish to see the
personification of himself; about which he had beard so
much, and begged I would, for a few minutes, become his
representative. I could not refuse a request which 'con-
veyed so high a compliment to me, though I confess I felt
somewhat diffident in r.tt impting the imititiort in the pre-
sence of my distinguished model. By degrees, however,
I got inspired with my subject : I moved about; chatting
first with people on my right, then with cthcrs on my let',
placing my hand on the hilt of my swerd, after the doc-
tor's pecu:iar manner. I had at my tongue's end some
of the happy mots which were currently assigned to him,
and I contrived to bring them in, not perhaps very inaptly.
Then, advancing to a lady, and conjurinr, alliny recol-
lections of my first interview with the doctor,' on his visit
to Mademoiselle Mars, I went through a greatiis'rt of the
cansultition scene, winding up the whole -With a gracious
adieu to Telma, and a bevy to Fleury. A loud round of
approbation rewarded my effort. Desgepettres was in
eest?cy ; he laughed heartily, and, advancing to me, cor-
dially shook my hand, and expressed his astonishment at
my power of mimicry.—Theodore Hook's,French Stage.
From the late Henry Cowper,.Esq:, of Tewen
Waters, Herts., to Messrs. S. and B. Sopmons, 39, Albemarle-
street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King Wam-
