DINNER TO LORD HOWICK,IVI.P.

The dinner to Lord Howick, the newly-elected Member for
Sunderland, took place on Monday, in the spacious hall of the
Athenaeum. Ihe number of gentlemen that sat down was
about 250. Walker Featherstonhaugh, Esq., the proposer of
the Noble Lord, occupied the Chair. Dr. Brown, of Sunder-
land, and William Bell, Esq., of Ford House, officiated as
Vice-Chairman. On the right of the Chairman sat Lord
Howick, Mr. Hutton Chaytor (son of Sir William Chaytor,
Bart.) as the seconder of his Lordship, Henry Alitcalfe, Esq.,
M.P., for Tynemouth, R. Fenwick, Esq., Joseph Simpson,
Alderman Losh, of Newcastle, and Captain Bowiby : on his
left W. Hutt, Esq., M.P. for Gateshead, John Ridley, Esq.,
Mayor of Newcastle, J. T. Wawn, Esq., M.P. for South
Shields, G. H. Ramsay, Esq., of Derwent Villa, Captain
Burn, and Bernard Ogden, Esq.
Lord HowicK, when his health had been enthusiastically
drunk, spoke at considerable length, and, in the course of his
speech, observed, that although the country (lie would not in-
quire under what influences) had returned a verdict, in the late
general election, adverse to free trade, he had no gloomy ap-
prehensions of the ultimate issue of the great cause in which
they were embarked. How could he, when he looked around
him? When he first entered upon public life, free trade could
not be named on the Wear or the Tyne without reproba-
tion. But now Gateshead (the Southwark of Newcastle)
is as represented by his friend Dlr. Hutt, whom he
had the pleasure of seeing on the Chairman's left Tyne-
mouth was represented by another Honourable Gentle-
man, now present (Mr. Metcalf); and South Shields by a
third (Mr. Wawn). Newcastle and Sunderland were left
divided at the close of the general election ; hut in the late
election, the important commercial town of Sunderland—a
port dependent for its prosperity on its shipping and commerce
—had triumphantly declared itself to be wholly in favour of
free-trade. lhus, of the six Members sent to Parliament from
the Tyne and the Wear, five were unfriendly to monopolies
and restrictions. He repeated, therefore, that after witness-
ing so great a change in public opinion in the short period of
his political life, it was impossible .hcstAuld despair 'of ultimate
success. Lord Howick proceeded 'to- speak in terms of high
admiration of the conduct of Mr. Binns, and his Chartist
friends, in the past contest, and said that their honourable
njection of the proffered alliance of the Tories, and of their
bribe, afforded evidence of the sincerity and single-minded-
ness with which they advocated the Charter. But while he
applauded their pin ity, and did homage to their sincerity
of purpose, he differed from the policy which they pur-
sued, no less than from the opinions which they enter-
tained ; and he regretted that a man like Mr. Binns, whose
abilities, as evinced on the hustings, were of no common
order, should not have taken a more practical course.
It must be evident, he thought, to every calm observer,
that the times were unfavourable to further constitutional
changes. The public mind could not at present be agitated
upon that subject with practical effect. The most hopeful
questions, in the present day, were free trade and national
education, and to these should all Reformers bend their
energies. He hoped that such men as Mr. Binns would not
stand aloof, but that Reformers would all unite for the at-
tainment of practical measures. When these were attained—
when the physical condition of the people was raised by free
trade, and their intellectual and moral condition by national
education—then, though he might still be found to differ
from Mr. Binns en constitutional questions, there could be no
doubt that the measures advocated by that gentleman would
occupy a moeh more favourable position. His Lordship went
on so say, that he would go to Parliament prepared to support
all measures that were, in his opinion, for the benefit of
the country, by whomsoever they might be introduced.
He would give no factious opposition to the new Go-
vernment; he did not think that any immediate effort
for its overthrow was desirable. But he saw great ad-
vantages in a watchful and powerful opposition, which
would hold the new Administration in check while it remained
in office, and be prepared to form a new government whenever
the country might reverse its verdict. In Sir Robert Peel he
could have no confidence. He could have no reliance on one
who, as a Minister, and as a Statesman, had given so many
sti iking proofs of his want of sagacity and foresight. The
Noble Lord reviewed the history of Sir Robert Peel, and con-
cluded an effective speech amidst loud cheers.
Mr. Hutt, Mr. Alitcalfe, Mr. Wawn, Mr. B. Ogden, Mr.
Alderman W. H. Broekett, Mr. 11. Morton, Mr. A. J. Moore,
Mr. Reed, Mr. Hindmarsh, Lieutenant Leech, and other
gentlemen, addressed the company ; and at ten o'clock the
Chairman vacated his seat, and retired with his Lordship from
the ball.

The Constztutionnel states that the announce-
ment of a house at Leipsic having obtained the corcession for
a railway between St. Petersburgh and Moscow, is premature.
" Nothing," it says, " has yet been decided on the subject. but
an English Company is spoken of, to which, it is said, the Rus-
sian Government will guarantee a minimum of interest. It is
sa.d that the line is to go 50 wersts round by the Wolga, so as
to convey corn to St. Petersburgh, in which case the length of
the railway will be 220 French leagues, or 550 miles."
A violent thunder storm broke over Peronne a
few evenings back. The lightning fell twice on the town ;
once near the Powder Magazine, where a sentinel was so much
injured by it that he was at first suppo,ed to be dead. The se-
cond time it struck a house in the lamb urg de Bretagne, and
did consider,ble damage in a room, where 25 years ago, about
the same time of the year, the poet Beranger was knocked
down by the electric fluid and much injured, for the second
time in his life.

THE CANADAS IN 1841.—The great and
varied interests which have of late years attached to the
Canadas, both Upper and Lower, are doubled at the
present moment, in • consequence of the many changes
attendant on the recent troubles, and a concise work is
much wanted that shall put us in possession of the nature
and extent of those changes, both actual and perspec-

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE. MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—The announcement of the funding of
5,000,0001.. of Exchequer Bills is said, in some quarters, to
have taken the Money Market by surprise, and great praise is
awarded for the secrecy with which this splendid revival of the
farce of Raising the Wind has been brought before the put-
lie. For our own part, we must confess that it neither excited
our sensations of surprise or of admiration; because, unfortu-
nately for ourselves, with many others, we had anticipand the
course which the Chancellor of the Exchequer has adopted.
The alteration announced to-day in regard to the mode of
taking the deposits shows very clearly that one-half the amount
in money would lie extremely satisfactory, and to those whl
have not enough of Exchequer Bills to lodge, the part money
payment will be very convenient.
There is a very grotesque allusion made, we observe, to the
saying said to be effected for the country by the operation,
compared with the reception which would have been given in
the City to such an %announcement from the late Ministry. The
saving in question acts, however, precisely in the reverse way
that such economical operations usually do; for we see that it
will add 150,0001. per annum permanently to the fixed burdens
of the State; and in regard to the reception which such a mea-
-1 sure would have received if it had emanated from the Whig Mi-
nistry. that would depend, just as the present will, very much
upon the state of the Money Market, and the profits which
could be-reaped by subscribing. But on this point it is enough
to repeat that all these schemes of loans, of funding, and
votes of credit, were spurned with contempt by the Whig-
Chancellor of the Exchequer. When he found the expendi-
ture seriously overba'ancing the public income, in conse-
quence of the great reduction of taxation which had been
carried out by himself and predecessors in office, he
resorted to the simple plan of an increased per centage
to make up the deficiency. That plan did not answer his ex-
pectations, because of the great distress and diminished means
of consumpticn of the people, thus testing the fact that they
were totally unable to support fresh taxes. He, therefore, saw
the immediate necessity of changing our fiscal and commercial
policy. and in his Budget specified the various resources which
were then open to him, amongst which the old resource of bor-
rowing first and taxing afterwards presented themselves as the
readiest ; but these he wisely refused to adopt, convinced that
nothing but recourse to the principles of
.free trade and a revi-
sion of the provision laws could possibly restore prosperity to
the trade and industry of the nation. These principles he
brought forward in a clear and practical shape, proposing to
make up the deficit yearly by reducing the duties on timber,
sugar, and corn. His proposals were rejected by tho e who
are now in office, and who are responsible for the consequences.
They have, as a justification of their course, attempted to prove
dia. the itudget was founded on false principles, and that not a
shilling of the expected increase would have been available.
But Sir Robert Peel signally failed in proving that..
POST.—As might be anticipated very little business has
been transacted in the English Funds to-ilay, neither ran it
be expected that cperations to any extent will be entered into
until after the subscription be completed for the conversion of
Exchequer Bills. The more the proposed plan be considered
the more it seems to increase in favour with the mcnied lute-
rest, and the fair and judicious calculation as well as the option
of paying either in money or bills meets with almost universal
approbation. The loose and undefined state in which the tin-
! funded debt was left by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and the large and continued deficiency in the income rendered
the raising of money actually necessary and no plan so favour-
able as that which, has been chosen could well have been se-
lected. It will relieve the market from a large portion of the
floating debt, and at the same time afford the opportunity of
subscribing towards a new loan, without any of the inconve-
nience to which such a proceeding is usually subject.
HERALD.—The arrangements for some days past in
progress, have, it appears, been satisfacterily concluded, and
the London and Westminster Bank has now taken the agency
of the Nottingham Banking Company, which will forthwith
resume its operations. At the meeting of the Proprietors of
that Joint-stock Bank in Nottingham last Friday, a call was
agreed to of Si. per share, by which the capital will be raised
from 80,0 G 0/. to I`_o,ooo/. Exclusive of this resolution several of
the more wealthy Shareholders are understood to have made
immediate advances in money and securities to a very con-
siderable amount, it is said so far as to the value of 100,0001.,
3o that the concern may now be considered bettor on its legs
in poi' tsof credit than ever.
TIMES.—The paragraph in the notice of the. proposed
funding of Exchequer Bills which requires deposits in Ex-
chequer Bills to the amount of 20 per cent. to be delivered by
parties intending to subscribe, has been considered to lead to
an impression that Exchequer Bills only would be receivable
in the tender. Hence the Money Market has been given to
understand that the tender will be received half in money and
half in Exchequer Bills, and that the provisions of..the subsequent
paragraph were to be applied to this one.
A letter has been received from a high authority in ex-
planation of the delay which has been observjd in the pub-
lication of the circulation returns, in pursuance of the Act 4
and 5 Victoria, e. 50. By tho Act-the returns', ate directed
to be made uithin seven days after the termination of each pe-
riod of four weeks. The majority of the banks comply with
this regulation ; and our correspondent considers that. if the
whole of them were to do so, the earliest period in which the
aggregate amount would be published in the Gazette would
be thirteen days after each period of four weeks. He attributes
the delay which has been occasioned, to the inability of sonic
of the joint-stock bank to obtain the returns from some of their
branches in time, to a misunderstanding cn the part of the
bankers as to the days on which the return should be mad:, and
finally, to the sending of imperfect or erroneous returns, which
have to be sent back for amendment., and the alleged miscar-
riage of others.

A recent police case having shown that a fraud, if it. had
proved successful, might have occasioned the payment of a
sum of money twice over by a savings' bank, attention h.is been
called to the plan adopted by the Oswestry Savings' }tank, to
prevent similar frauds, when the person receiving money pre-
sents the depositor's book. This plan owed its origin to a
fraud which was committed on this bank its 1835. The money
of the depositor in this case was all drawn out, and as she had
been for some time in a declining state of health, her repre-
sentatives, after her heath, applied for the money, raising a
doubt whether the depositor had been able to come to Oswes-
try, which was ten miles from her place of residence,
to receive her money on the day on which it had been
paid. A reference was agreed on, and it was awarded that the
money should be repaid to the representatives with interest to
the time of siening the award, each party paying their own costs.
'this award caused a loss to the bank of 1221., and in consequence
a regulation has been made that the producer of a deposit bank
shall be considered as the actual depositor, and that such pro-
duction shall be a full discharge to the institution. The age,
residence, and other particulars relating to the depositors are
inscribed in the books of the bank, with a view of checking
imposture, and under suspiciouscircumstances inquiry is made;
but the Managers assume, that the safe custody of the book is
at the risk of the depositor.
AD VERTISER.—It must be a source of regret, we imagine
to very many,. parties, long and intimately connected by the
atnicable relations of commerce with the good old Hence Town
of Elemburgh, that any source of bickering or discontent shou'd
have arisen between the mercantile interests of that place and
HulL As far as we cen make out the matter in dispute it is
briefly this. 'I he Hull Steam-packet Company has for many
years past enjoyed the sole monopoly of the carrying trade be-
tween their port and Hamburgh, but very recently an opeosi-
tion has been started against them by some of the natives of
Hamburgh, the vessels bearing of course their own flag, ar d
the whole enterprise being essentially one created and fostered by
the march of German industry. This, it appears, the Hull
Company considered as a grievance, pounding their complaint,
we believe, upon the fact of their having done so mush to pro-
mote the trade of Hamburgh, and to sustain a regular com-
munication with it at a time when this was a matter of much
greater difficulty than at present. Under the plea, therefore,
that there was no just reason for the starting of an opposition,
since all the wants of the trading community had been promptly
met., and further that the t, affic would not be sufficient to sup-
port two rival Companies, the agents for the Hull boats, upon
learning that some of the Hamburgh merchants were dividing
their favours between them and their new opponents, took oc-
casion to address to each of them the following notice:—
" Hull, Sept. 8, 1841.
" Sir—As we perceive that you are supporters of the
Hamburgh steamer, we are under the necessity of refusing to
take any of your goods by our steamers un'ler id, per foot,
until we have your assurance that you will no longer support
the Hamburgh opposition against us.
" We are, Sir, your obedient servants,

" GEE and Co.
" RICHARD TOTTIE,
" JOHN SANDERSON,
" For the St. George's Steam-packet Company."
This very impolitic, if not even insulting epistle, was na-
turally sufficient to excite the ire, not only of the parties whom
it was more immediately intended for, but of most of
the influential shippers of llamburgh. Accordingly, a
meeting was convened among them, and thirteen of the lead-
ing wool exporters—a most important part of the trade carrh d
on with Hull—subscribed to an agreement not to forward a
bale of the staple by the English Company's boats, aid in-
vited the other merchants of flamburgh to follow their exam-
ple, which it was generally expected they would do. The
people of Hamhurgh, it seems, possess but one boat, and in-
tending, as these thirteen influential shippers profess, to put
the Hull Company under the bann for some years, unless con-
cessions and advances are made towards what they deem a fair
and honourable competition, they were urging the necessity of
immediately providing more vessels for the station.
SUN.—English Stocks were to-day uninfluenced any further
by the Treasury Notice. Consols closed at 69* for Money, and
89 a for Account; Exchequer Bills were at 13 to 16, and
India Bonds at 4 prem.
As to the Foreign Bonds they are entirely neglected. The
Active Spanish Stock was at 211, and flat; Danish Bonds
were firm at 80 4, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at
54 tot.
For the Railway Shares there was a weak market, sales be-
ing forced at a decline. Brighton dropped to 4i to 5 dis-
count, and Birmingham to 65 and 66 premium ; South Western
were l l to 12/ ; and York and North Midland 23 premium.
London and Westminster Bank Shares were t premium.

The enormous losses of Whitmore's Bank arc considered no
very favourable evidence of the superior safety of private to joint-
stock institutions. The balance-sheet of the bankrupt has
been read with much interest.

ADELAIDE GALLERY.
NEW SYSTEM OF MNEMONICS.
We last night received a lecture upon the new system
of artificial memory devised by Major Beniowski, and
the results of which, as manifested in his own expe-
rience, were exhibited on Tuesday to the company as-
sembled at the Adelaide Gallery. On Tuesday the ex-
positions of the new system were confined to displays of
the Professor's own powers, and they proved nothing
whatever as to the possibility of imparting to others the
same facility of recollection, or the same permanence of
remembrance, which the Lecturer himself possessed. We
have for many years attended. to the mechanical systems
projected by benevolent and philosophical men for aiding
the memory, upon the principle of association, which
Itant has clearly shown to be altogether chimerical.
With respect to Major Beniowski, we must pre-
mise that on one occasion the writer of these
remarks did accuse him, but not by name, of being
an agent of Russia. The circumstances under which the
accusation was made warranted the accusation. Other
facts have come to our knowledge, which convince us that
the charge was founded in malignity, and we have the
assurance of a Noble Lord, whose affections for Poland
cannot be doubted, that no Pole who suffered in the Re-
volution of 1830 dared more, or suffered more, than the
calumniated Major. It cannot be questioned by his most
intimate friends that the course of conduct which he
thought proper to adopt in the political crisis of this
country was signally wrong; but his heroic and gal-
lant conduct on the 25th of April, 1830, when he went
over under a heavy lire from the Russian ranks, in which
11:s served as Major, to the ranks of his compatriots, and
has proved by his subsequent conduct, under all the
horrors of poverty and slander, at once his fidelity and
his folly.
The subject of Major BeniOwski's lecture on Tues-
day was the application of mechanical artifices to the
assistance of the mind, in the retention of facts and
numbers. He proved to a large audience that he had
himself acquired a vast power of bringing to his present
recollection the images of past events, and recalling to
his mind those representatives of numerical forces which
the Arabians understood, and the Franks conventially
misused. We have heard the lectures of Von Feinaigle,
and we have often laughed at his combinations of wis-
dom, hypocrisy, and chicanery. None who heard him,
could doubt that in some parts of his expositions he was
sincere ; but, at the same time, it was evident that an
ignorant man was propounding crude notions, which he
himself had not mastered. A society was formed for
the purpose of carrying out the views of Von
Feinaigle, and it failed in every particular in
which Mnemonics had a part. There is upon the
books of Dublin College abmudant proof that the school
of the Luxembourg can produce scholars equal to any
competition which the severe and trying examinations
of that University may subject them to. But we are
aware of this, that it is not owing to Feinaigle's system
of Mnemonics, but to the constant practice of Hamilton's
maxim, " teach not in order to learn," the extraordi-
nary proficiency of the pupils is to be attributed. We
have always regarded systems of Mnemonics as merely
adapted to particular formations of mind in which the
same results would be produced without the intervention
of the same media. We have no doubt, indeed we are
convinced from our own experience, that adventitious aids
can be given to the memory, but we have very great
doubt, that any system may be devised by which an un-
instruetedmind will be enabled to treasure up and record
facts which are communicated with a peculiar association.
If we could go into a detail of the many instances in which
the pupils of the Luxembourg have surpassed -their
competitors in the Dublin University, their superiority
may ho more justly attributed to their own powers of
applicability than to any psychological virtue in the
kystem. One part of the system of Von Feinaigle was,
that the facts should be remembered by an association
:with localities and form ; if you had to remember a song
-Of Captain Morris, you must inscribe every verse upon
the step of an altar, and if you desired to treasure up in
your mind the whole of the " Fudge Family," you must
impale every member upon a croessette or a pointells of
the imperial diadem. In the lecture with which we were
last night favoured, we heard enough to convince us
that Beniowski has simplified the system of Mnemonics,
and if we perceive by future observation that he has
raduced the art of mechanical memory to the dignity of
a science, we shall not fail to do him perfect justice.
