We deem it our duty to continue to caution the
public against relying on the apparent restoration
of confidence in the South American Securities. We
I"ve reason to know that the seeming improvement
t►+ their value within the last few days has been
c111('I1y effected by the combined efforts of the
c°lltractors and other great holders of that species
'3l Stock, in the hope that, if they can succeed in
them to a factitious value, circumstances
'nay occur that will enable the present holders

I.'"rsonal interest whatever in these matters ; but
Fain, from a sense of our duty as Jour►ralists
alone, solemnly. advise the inesTerienced to
bt-ware!

We have in ourlpreceding columns given fur-
4.xtracts from Sunday's Paris Papers, the princi-
Pal contents of which we anticipated yesterday

slt is but justice to the Philanthropic views of
Mr. Ow EN, of New Lanark, to state that his In-
fant School at New Lanark furnished the model
fOr the Infant Schools that are now increasing in
}:ngland, and for the promotion of which a most
rfispectable public meeting was yesterday held at
Vrermasons' Hall. The teacher, indeed, of the
Cost Infant School eitahlished at Westminster,
1;y- Mr. BaouGHAm, and one or two other Gen-
lieman, was brought for that purpose from New
Lanark.
The Agent of Lr.oyn's at Alvarado (for there
is ►►o commercial station in the world, of any im-
Portunce, where this eminent establishmeut is not
l'epresented), under date the 24th of March,
'fates, that the Government of Mexico had, 00
the l7th of that month, repeated their interdic-
tio►► against all ini.ercourse with Spain or her
colonies. The following is a copy of the official
coinmunica tion

" Secretary of War and Marine, the Supreme Executive
lower has decreed as follows :-.-That no goods whatever, and
under any flag, shall be permitted to be landed on the coast of
the nation, which goods shall have been shipped in a port under
the doMinion of Spain. During the voyage of 40 days from any
14. the Spanish American Colonies, and of four Months from
IluroPc, the vessels will be allowed to return, but after these
Periods they shall be declared goal and lawful prizes."

Tile following has been given as part of a Pre-
fny by Air. QUIN, for an unpublished
Memoir, said to have been left by the Ex-Em-
Nror ITUIIBIDE, when he (pitted this country
for South America• The Memoir itself will, it

is said, soon make its appearance. In the mean I
time, we can only say that ITLJRBIDE has gone

'sutler engagements to promote the views of the
Spanish Government, Ivith respect to Spanish
America. Whether the Ex-Emperor will be
true to his present employers, or whether he will
owe more set up for himself, if, on his arrival,
hit should find his prospects of success very pro-
wising, are points on which it is of course diffi-
cult to speak with any certainty.:—
, " Almost every vessel which came to England from Mexico,
oroughtthemost earnest entreaties that he would return to that
country. The letters stated that the Federal Republic held

birth ; and that amongst the Republicans there was not Alf:

As we have always devoted great attention to

the Commercial and Shipping Interests of this
Country, we feel great pleasure in drawing the
4ttention of tl►e Public to an advertisement which
Lai appeared in this and other daily Journals,
Convening a General. Meeting to-morrow at the
London Tavern, to take into consideration
the formation of a Ship Canal between the
English and Bristol Channels. The immense

importance of such a measure must. strike

every intelligent man on a moment's. reflec-

The plan is stupendous but not vi-
sionary, and is likely to be atteuded with the
most important advantages to the Empire and to
all its relations and dependencies, by opening

a more certain and • secure communication
between Ireland and Wales, Bristol and Li-
