THE SETTLERS AT HOME.
By HARRIET MARTINEAU.
Being the first of a Series of Tales, to be published Quarterly,
entitled, THE PLAYFELLOW.

" The circumstances under which this little volume, for the
amusement of children, has been produced, give an additional
charm to its truth, simplicity, and feeling. The tale, though
in one passage sorrowful enough to moisten many a pair of eyes,
is full of interest and character. The latter, we may add, is as
much appreciated by children as the former; and they will
take as lively an interest in Ailwin's ignorant and unselfish
fidelity and her stalwart arms, and in Roger Redfurn the gipsy
boy's gleams of better nature, as in the development of the
main incident of the look, a disastrous flood which spread de-
vastation over the Isle of Axholme two hundred years ago."

mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,

WRECK OF THE MARY STUART.

On Wednesday afternoon the following painful intelligence
reached the underwriters at Lloyd's relative to the loss of
the Mary Stuart, of Cardiff, and death of Lieutenant Smith,
Royal Navy, and five of the coast guard, which happened
on the morning of Tuesday last, near Penzance, in Cornwall.
At about half past seven o'clock on Tuesday morning last the
inhabitants of Portleaven, a small village situate on the sea
coast, ten miles from Penzance, observed a vessel lying off
Praa Stairs Bay in distress. They immediately hastened to
the spot to render assistance, but the sea was so rough,
and the wind blowing a gale from the south-west, it was im-
possible to launch a boat off in safety. The vessel proved
to be the Mary Stuart, a schooner laden with iron ore,
from Cardiff, in Glamorganshire, bound to Constantinople.
It appeared to those on shore that her rudder had un-
shipped, and the crew, fearing the vessel would go on shore,
let go the anchor, and brought her up to about three-
quarters of a mile from the land. Unfortunately, the situa-
tion was one of the worst description ; hut, the night being
excessively dark, the crew were unable to perceive the pre-
cise spot where they brought up, and at daybreak the gale
had commenced, and to alter the position would occasion her
immediate destruction. Towards nine o'clock the gale in-
creased in severity, and by ten it blew a hurricane. The crew
expected the vessel would every moment part from her anchors,
and, in the hope of saving their lives, cut away her masts, which,
in falling overboard nearly capsized the ship. However, she
righted, and the anchors kept fast until about twelve o'clock,
when a heavy sea broke her cables, and she went ashore. By
that period several hundred people had assembled on the beach,
and there was also a strong detachment of the Coast guard ser-
vice, under the direction of Lieut. Smith, R.N.
The spot where the ill-fated vessel grounded was within
half a mile from the shore, and the perilous situation of the
crew excited the humanity of Lieutenant Smith, who deter-
mined to make an attempt to reach the vessel; and accord-
ingly one of the boats belonging to the service was got in
readiness, but owing to the heavy swell of the sea it was
found impossible to carry that intention into effect, but in
the course of an hour after, the sea becoming somewhat
abated, Lieutenant Smith and five of the men jumped in and
pu-hed off amidst the loud huzzas of the assembled multi-
tude, but scarcely had the cheers died away before a tre-
mendous wave broke over the boat and swamped it. For a
few seconds the gallant fellows were obsetved buffeting the
waves ; their struggles were, however, of short duration, as
they one by one disappeared. What renders this unfortunate
occurrence still more melancholy is, that the whole of the
persons who had been drawn to the spot beheld them perish
without being able to afford the slightest assistance to the
brave fellows, and among them were the wives and children
of four of them. At about one o'clock in the forenoon her
Majesty's revenne cutter the Sylvia arrived from Penzance,
and succeeded in rescuing the crew, who were in an ex-
hausted condition. The vessel, it is feared, will become a
total wreck. She is a new vessel, and this was her first
voyage. We regret to state that none of the bodies at the
time our information came away had been found. The un-
fortwate men have left twenty-six children to lament their
loss.

THE NEW SUSPENSION BRIDGE AT HUN-
CERFORD MARKET.—Yesterday numbers of excavators,
'and other workmen were busily engaged landing from on
board several largo barges, immense numbers of planks
and wooden piles, at Hungerford-market, which are to be
used for the immediate commencement of forming the
grand abutment. On the nortk shore of the river, pre-
cisely opposite the entrance into Hungerford-market, a
large and high wooden hoard is built around where the
works are to be carried on, the paving stones removed,
and the earth excavated to the depth of several feet;
b icklayers are engaged building blacksmiths' shops, for
the purpose of making the necessary iron work for the
workmen engaged, shoeing the wooden piles, and other
necessary works. Similar preparations are to be imme-
diately commenced on the Lambeth side of the river, for
the purpose of erecting the bridge' with as much despatch
as possible, the whole of the iron-work being in a state
of completion. Yesterday afternoon, from the fineness of
the weather, there were numbers of spectators looking at
the progress of the workmen.
POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.—In the High Court
of Justiciary, Edinburgh, on Monday, William Gordon,
lately deputy postmaster at Currie, was charged under the
25th section of the statu'e Ist Victoria, c. 36, with open-
! ing or detaining fifteen post letters; under the 26th sec-
tion of the same Act, with stealing, embezzling, sccretirg,
or destroying post letters ; and, at common law, with
falsehood, fsald, and wilful imposition, in so far as, on the
6th of December last, he did fraudulently fill up a money
order and schedule of advice for 5/., and having caused
i payment of itto be obtained, did approprate the same to his
own use. Prisoner pleaded guilty of the charge under
the 25th section of the statute, not guilty under the 26th
section, and guilty of the common law offence of falsehood,
fraud, &c. Sentence—Twelve months' imprisonment.
CHARTER•HOUSE.—Died on Sunday, the 14th
ult., at the advanced age of 97 years, Mr. Thomas Calla-
dine. He was the Father of then a
of the Charter-
house, where he had resided sixteen years, and was ap-
pointed by Lord Sidmouth, in March, 1825. He we; re-
lated to the late Mr. Watzrs, of the Opera House. He en-
joyed his faculties to the last moment of his existence,
and was universally respected by the Brothers, and all
i who 'knew him. He was buried in the grounds of the
Charter• house; and followed by a great number of his ac-
quaintance. During the fortnight preceding his decease,
, the greatest attention was paid him by all the officials in
the house, with whom, for his gentle manners, he was a
i great favourite.

Our Frßeadersw 'CHIT

upon the motion of Mr. Emerson Tennent, last night, in the
House of Commons, leayo was given to him to bring i a Bill
to consolidate and extend the laws feidting to copyright in de-
signs. The Hon. Member has devoted so much time, end so
much attention, as well as incurred personal expense in this
matter, that not to have conceded to him the honour of carry-
ing into effect his views, would have been exceedingly dis-
graceful to the Government ; but, with the spirit of liberality
which does great credit to the Right Hon. the President of the
Beard of Trade, the Bill upon this most important subject is
placed in the hands of the Hon. Member; and we have no
doubt, based as it is on honest principles, will receive the support '
of both Houses of Parliament. Deducting all that may be alleged,
either upon the side of the extenaionists and protectors of ori-
ginal designs in a variety of British manufacture s, or by
those who are non-extentionists, the whole question resolves
itself it to one small element, viz., whether the honest man
should be protected, or the pirate held ha. mless. How the
House of Commons, after the matter having been so fully
and fairly brought before them, not only by a Select Commit-
tee, but also after the documents laid before them, should re-
fuse to accede to any of the provisions in Mr. Emerson Ten-
nent's Bill, appears inconcievable. There has been a slight
mistake with regard to the manner in which it ought to have
been brought forward last night ; but, with regard to the main
principle, viz., the extension of time, we repeat what we said
a few days ago, that the manufacturers are better judges than
the Members of the House of Commons; and that they, if
they require an extension of protection, ought to have it con-
ceded to them.

The Morning Chronicle contains a leading article on the
subject of Church rates, in the course of which our contem-
porary observes :—" The Church's tenacity of the rate is in-
fatuated and suicidal. A rallying point is provided for all
other religionists and for the non-religionists. These demand
justice for their COnScientleS, and those for their pockets. The
rate has been called the only mode in which all the English
people contribute towards the national Church. We are not
sure of that. But it certainly is the mode in which the worst
feelings and mischiefs are generated. Were there a few more such,
and adhered to with similar obstinacy, the conflict would not be
long." The Times observes, with reference to the present
financial condition of Sinith Australia :—" It is our deliberate
and unbiassed conviction that the virtual bankruptcy of South
Australia, apart from the inherent vices in its Constitution
which would eventually have plunged it into difficulties, is
mainly attributable to the mal-administration of the home- C ,m-
-missioners, occasioned in no small degree by their selfish regard
to their proprietary interests in the colony, and those of their
self-supporting allies." The Morning Herald, in an
article on Puseyism, remarks as follows :—" The par-
tition which nominally separates the Puseyite -from the
Romanist, is far too frail and feeble to withstand the power of
Popish absorption. If the Church of England is to be raised
on this narrow isthmus, she trust inevitably, ere long, fall
under the sway of her ancient tyrant. It is not in human na..
ture to remain content with -this near approximation to Po-
pery without becoming its infatuated victim." The Morning
Post, referring again to the Corn-law question, says—" The
operation of the Corn laws is to keep hundreds of thousands of
men in England employed in agriculture, who would otherwise
not be so employed."

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TIMES.Lis regards the City, and subjects in which men
of business take a direct interest, the Inaugural Address of
General Harrison has Voted a very puszlin;document. The
subjects to which the remark more elpechilly refers are the
currency, and the condition, in point of credit, of the several
States which compose the Union. The mere political question
between the United States and England is purposely passed
over in this section of the paper, though it may be remarked
upon as a current opinion in;the City, that nothing can well be
more imperfectly declined and meagre than that clause of the
Address of the new President. The great quesiton among prac-
tical men to-day has been, whether the proper conclusion to
be drawn from the passage relating to the currency is for or
against the establishment of a national bank, and whether the
President and his Cabinet will have nerve enough to bring for-
ward such a measure in Congress. His sweeping condemna-
tion of a currency purely metallic may justify the belief, in
those who wish it, that he really has some such intention, but
it is by no means certain that a paper circulation, such as ought
to exist, in conjunction with a metallic currency, may not be
supplied without the aid of any such institution. There ap-
pears to be no difficulty in it, if all the banks are kept strictly
tc the condition of paying all their notes and bills in specie on
demand. But General Harrison's party, after having settled
among themselves whether they will recommend to Congress
the appointment of a national bank, will still have to decide upon
the mode of doing so—that is, whether it shall be merely a char-
tered bank, trading upon private capital, and subsisting upon
private credit, or a Government bank absolutely, bwed
upon the credit and resources of the whole federation collec-
tively. For the first of these projects, after the experience
gained during the last forty years of the utter impossibility of
keeping any check upon Biddle and his associates, the Legis-
lature would, by any act in its favour, stultify themselves in
the eyes of the whole world. But if, on the other hand, the
bank scheme is to work absolutely under the management and
the auspices of the Executive, then people who know the diffi-
culty of such a case will allow the whole of General Harri-
son's term of office to run out before bringing it into such a
settled course of action as will at once' atisfy and protect the
whole trading community. It is by no means positively to be
inferred from the expressions in the address that the Harrison
Cabinet have made up their minds to such a coarse ; but if they
have, the result can hardly fail to be otherwise than that which
has been described.

The clause referring to the credit of the individual States
appears even more vague than the one relating to the cur-
rency ; for whereas a decided aversion to a currency purely
metallic may be gathered in the one case, so definite idea
of any kind is to be arrived at in the other. General
Harrison simply says, that though he may regret the financial
difficulties of the States, it is the duty of the Federal Govern-
ment to encourage them, " to the extent of constitutional au-
thority," to apply their best means for the maintenance of
their credit, adding that the resources and industry of the
country are such as to lead to a hope that prosperity will be
restored. This " hope" is all very well, as far as it goes ;
but people who hold State stocks as their only security are
natura'ly anxious to know what is the precise nature
of the " encouragement" which the General Government
is to give to the fulfilment of their contracts by the States. So
decided does the intention appear of treating this matter as
vaguely as possible, that as if he were fearful of committing
himself by sentiments, however indefinite,y expressed, the
President adds that the encouragement is to be only " to the
extent of constitutional authority ;" words which seem at first
sight a mere matter of course, hut which are no doubt intro-
duced to leave entirely open the question whether an assump-
thn of State debts by the Federal Government be a constitu-
tional act or not. As it stands, anybody may interpret the
clause his own way ; but the probability is that the President
will scarcely venture to introduce a measure so unpopular as
the guarantee of State debts, if any inference whatever is to be
drawn from his extreme caution on the subject.

As regards the pacific tone of the address, all that is ne-
cessary to state bete is, that it has had a very favourable effect
on the Money Market, causing a rise in the public securities
of full % per cent. Indeed, it has rather taken the speculators
by surprise, and the weakness of the market yesterday shows
they were not prepared for intelligence of so favourable a kinl.
The clause in the address in which General Harrison asserts
his intention to use every means in his power to preserve
the friendly intercourse which subsists between every na-
tion, and also that he sees in the character both of
Sovereigns and Governments that harmony will not be inter-
rupted by any claim to which the honour of the Americans
could not yield, has been read with interest, and seems to have
given general satisfaction. The only drawback that at present
exists is the fear that the President, the arrival of which is
hourly expected, will bring news of a less favourable character.
Business was brisker in Consols than it has been for some
time past, and prices preserved their buoyancy till just prior to
the close of the market, when an effort was made by an influ-
ential party to depress them, to favour their own operations,
which, in the excitement, had the effect.

CHRONICLE.—The news received from the United States
by the President steamer is considered to be as favourable in
every point of view as the friends of peace and amity between
the two countries could reasonably expect, and the funds hare
in consequence risen 5/ per cent. The general opinion in the
city is in unison with that said to be entertained among the
diplomatic circles at Washington—that in consequence of the
British Government having taken upon themselves the re-
sponsibility Ha-
rrison's Cabinet will deliver up lki'Leod, leaving the ques-
tion of the burning of the Caroline, General
as to the legality of the act of her destruction, and
the relative occurrences, to be decided by the law of na-
tions. In this view of the case hostilities are considered
very improbable, as, even in the event of any difference
arising relative to the burning, it would be settled by reference
to some friendly power. Preliminary to the surrender of
M'Leod, it is therefore supposed that he has been removed to
the seat of government at Albany, either on the application by
his counsel for a change of the venue, or by a writ similar to
our certiorari, which would take him out of the jurisdiction of
the State of New York, and transfer him to the district
Court of the United States.
The position of the boundary question is acknowledged on
all hands to be now in a fair train for adjustment, and the
speeches of Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Clay are considered quite
conclusive on that point. Politically, therefore, altogether, the
aspect of our relations with America has materially improved,
and the pacific sentiments expressed by General Harrison seem
to be a guarantee that nothing will be wanting on his part to
put an end to any remaining fears.
Hi; remarks upon the currency, though short, are satisfac-
tory, and must convince the citizens to whom they were ad-
dressed of the fatal consequences which would follow flora any
attempt to introduce a currency exclusively metallic. His al-
lusion, also, to the financial concerns of the diffe-ent States is
in every respect praiseworthy, and we trust that the impressive
manner in which he points out to them their duty of making
every necessary burden to fulfil their engagements and main-
tain their credit, will receive the requisite weight and he ho-
nestly adopted ; for, as the President justly observed, " the
character and credit of the several States form part of the cha-
racter and credit of the whole country."
It is stated in some of the American papers that Mr.
Webster has evinced some notion of the plan on which he con-
templates the formation of a National Bank. That he does
not mean to seek for a creation of new banking capital, It
to combine " the capitals of several of the old New Yo.rk
banks in Wall-street under a charter, to be given thprnovi 7
Congress." There is some feasibility in this.
