and honour—men deserving the high name of British
statesmen—are appointed to office they bold office only
so long as they have the power to govern. As soon as
the power to govern pi.sses away they voluntarily relinquish
office. But if mean men are appointed to office—if
men whose chief glory is that of hung successful cour-
tiers, and who care nothing for constitutional practice
when it goes against their own interest—if • men of this
character be appointed to official station, their power to govern
may be taken away by their opponents and still they remain
in office, compelled to do what they themselves condemn 1 This
is the condition of the present administration. They do not
think it necessary (while they are in office) that the power to
govern should settle and determine the constitution of the Go-
vernment. They know very well that ever since they came
into office, in 1835, the plans which they have put forward
as the best plans for governing the country have been de-
feated. Whenever anything has been brought forward as
vitally important to the public welfare, it has been surely
altered in some of its more material points by the Opposition,
er it has been (Heated altogether. This is the power which
the Opposii ion hat wielded. This is the power which Govern-
ment ought to have possessed over the plans of the Opposi-
tion, but which it has not possessed. Still it must be granted
that the Government has had the pow 5r to hold place ; but
that is all the power it has had, and that is the very thing of
which we complain.

MONEY 'MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

POST.—The quotations for the public securities remain
undisturbed. Hardly anything was done in either Market the
whole of the day, the unsettled state of our public affairs, and
the prospect there is of further large emissions of Government
paper, still contributing to the general languor that has existed,
independently of these and other specific causes of depression
that might be enumerated.
Money was considered tolerably easy for Stock Exchange
purposes.
We understand there is no doubt that Messrs. Laffitte and
Co. of Paris stand by their contract for the negotiation of the
Texan loan, and that books would be opened for subscriptions
on Thursday, the 3d instant.

many years, I was induced from recommendation to try your Invisi.
ble Voice Conductors, and I have great pleasure in telling you that
they enable me to hear persons in company and at a place of wor-
ship mo,t distinctly; and in consequence of the great advantage
which I have derived, I have recommended many persons to you,
and their report is similar to mine—most favourable. The Spec.
tacles and Hand-glass which you have sent me ate very excellent,
and suit my sight precisely, and surpass any thing of the kind I
have ever tried ; the transparency of which is so brilliant, that,
although I have passed my 66th year the 22d of May last, yet they
enable me to read, &c., by candlelight with the greatest ease and
comfort to myself.—Gentlemen, I return you my best thanks,

NEW COACHES THROUGH THE HIGH-
LANDS.—On Monday last, two four-horse coaches, in addition
to the daily mail, started from Perth, for Inverness, by the
Highland road. One of these is the Duke of Wellington, in
connexion with the Defiance Companyfrom Aberdeen to Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, and the other the Princess Royal, by the
present mail contractors. Both were got up in first-rate style
in every department. The Princess Rut al had the start of the
road, setting off from the George at half-past five in the
morning, and driven throughout by Mr. Davidson, of Tulloeh,
a first-rate whip. The Duke of Wellington followed at a quar-
ter to six, and M.:. Ramsay, of Barnton, held the ribb, ns a
considerable part of the way. The Princess Royal kept the
lead of the road throughout, and arrived at or soon after half-
past three, being
a pace unexampled, perhaps, for such a dis.
tance, in Scotland. - The Duke of Wellington s-t off again on
its return at ten o'clock the same evening, and arrived safely
in Perth about twelve o'clock next day. The Princess Royal
leaves Inverness at the same hour of the morning as from
Perth. The public have thus every accoromodati:n on the
northern road, both as to time and conveyance ; :nt we anti-
cipate for the ersoing season a traffic proportioned to the op -
portun ity. —Perth Courier.
DEATH OF THE HON. THOMAS MANNERS
Rocs.—The Stradbroke family have been placed in mourning
by the demise of the above gentleman, who died on Monday
last. The deceased, who had been at Leamington S
of
Spa with
the Dowager Countess of Stradbroke, for the benefitis
health, only returned to town last week, in, we understand,
far from improved health. He was the youngest son of the
late, and brother of the present, Earl of Stradbroke and Lady
Louisa De Horsey.
DEPARTURE OF THE LORD LIEUTENANT
FOR DEVONSHIRE.—An express arrived
yesterday forenoon
from Castle-hill, Devonshire, the seat of the Earl of Fortescue,
mentioning that his Lordship was suddenly reduced by illness
so a state of great debility—fo much so as 'deeply to alarm his
Noble Family for the result. "Lord Ebrington has applied to
the Queen for permission to leave his Government for a while,
and when her Majesty's letter is received--eay about Friday or.
Satntday —the Lords Justices will be sworn in, and his Zig*
