SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
AN I

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
CHRONICLE.—The debate on the sugar duties is again
adjourned. The monopolists, who, as long as they thought
they could deceive the people into a high notion of their hu-
manity, were all eager for display, begin now to shrink from
discussion. One fact cannot fail to strike our readers. Sir
Edward Knatchbull, who moved the adjournment on Friday
night, and who ought to have opened the debate last night.
refused to speak at the commencement of the debate ! Tto
monopolists are afraid of discussing the question, and Sir Ed-
ward Knatehbull of committing himself on the Corn-laas
which the Duke of Buckingham suspects Sir Robert Peel of
an intention to upset. Sir George Clerk prevented Sir Ed-
ward Knatchbull from speaking, as they were afraid ol a se-
sond edition of his nusquam lute fides, which Sir Robert Peel
has not forgot, any more than the old uncompromising Tories
What a combination: It was rsmarked last night that Mr.
Iluntz, who uttered many a proposition which set all consist-
ency at defiance, was loudly cheered by S:r Robert Peel, on
-hose occasions when his friends were in the greatest pain on
his account.
TIMES.—The tactics of the Ministerial party are now be-
coming apparent. Rumours were current early in last week
of a determination on the part of Ministers to prolong the
debate till Friday at the latest, for which various unsatis-
factory reasons were assigned; and when Friday came, it
turned out that her Majesty had a ball for that evening,
which made a division impossible, and then a further adjourn-
ment took place till Monday. On Monday, her Majes,v had
a concert ; and Lord John Russell was seized with a new and
disinterested anxiety that all the Members who represent great
constituences should have an opportunity reserved to them of
expressing their sentiments, which for eight long nights, it
seems, they have sought in vain. So long as there re-
mains any single Member desirous of spouting out weari-
some commonplaces on a subject which he does not
understand, the Noble Secretary will certainly take no
" steps to hasten a division." Many and great have been
the questions agitated within the walls of Parliament
since Lord John Russell has been a Minister of
State—Parliamentary Reform, Corporation Reform, Church
Reform, Slave Emancipation, Tithe Commutation, Church Ap-
propriation and Spoliation—Corn-laws, Ballot, Irish Coercion,
Irish-Registration—questions about Canada, about Jamaica,
about China—many a disappointed Member there has been on
all those occasions, who came down to the House with a speech
in his pocket which he never found the opportunity of deliver-
ing. But we never heard, on any of these questions, that
Lord John Russell displayed any peculiar tenderness of consi •
deration for would-be orators. What, then, we are to judge
on the present occasion ? Plainly, that Ministers and their
partisans are speaking against time ; every man of straw whose
voice they can command is set up to prolong the debate, and
all the arts and appliances which Court favour places at their
disposal are put in requisition to facilitate the tedious manoeuvre.
Under such circumstances, the course which the Conservatives
must parsue is obvious. They have no reason to fear the
event of a dissolution, come when it may, or whatever
may be the clap-trap on which Ministers may rely for
success. The ludicrous failure of the agitation hitherto
attempted, and the unmitigated contempt displayed for
the Anti-Corn-law humbug and its authors by the working
classes throughout Britain, at Edinburgh, in London, at Not-
tingham, and at Sunderland, may well inspire them with un-
wavering confidence if they will only be true to the people and
to themselves. But it is of importance that the country
should understand the nature of the Whig game beyond the
possibility of a mistake. Sir Robert Peel will speak this even-
ing; after which, whatever may be the multitude of Ministe-
rial speeches, either upon the present question, or upon the
amendment of which Lord John Russell has given notice, we
trust no single Conservative will offer to address the House.
Let it be made apparent to every man, that the Whigs, and the
Whigs only, desire to obstruct the course of public business for
the purposes of faction—let them have both the talking and
the credit of it all to themselves.
AD %TER TISE R.—There is a party among the Tories who
think that the debate on the sugar question has been conducted
by the Opposition on " wrong principles." In their secret
souls they deride the hypocrisy and humbug humanity of their
leaders, and take their ground upon a general view of our old
colonial and maritime system. What the Buckinghams and
the Inglises are to the corn and Church section. this remnant
of the old West India interest, typified by the Goelhurns and
Gladstones, is to the present sugar monopolists. It is a pity, for
the sake of all concerned, that the question had not been argued
upon this ground, were it only for the purpose of demonstrating
the untenableness of our present course of conduct towards the
other nations of the world, which is, in fact, nothing more than
a state of perpetual commercial hostility, and that, too, in the
sphere of men's most important interests, viz., their material
ones. There was a time when our West India trade was re-
garded even by such authorities as Lord Nelson, as the great
nursery of our seamen, and the cradle of our maritime au -
periority—•-a time when our colonies were looked upon as
the only necessary outlets for our manufactures, as-hen the
carrying trade and the unreserved supply of the whole Con-
tinental markets were enjoyed solely and exclusively by the
merchants of Great Britain. This was an age of gold
to England, but an age of iron to Europe. It passed
away with the military reign of Napoleon, and left England
unable to contract within the limits of her colonies the corn-
mcrce which had expanded to such a vast extent, because her '
foreign markets had become indispensable to the existence of a
surplus population, which that expansion had created. The
theory of these Tories, namely, that an empire, self- sufficing
in all respects, in consumption and demand, by means of its
home trade and colonial dependencies, forming one entire
and perfect " chrysolite," can be maintained in the present
state of England and the world, is perfectly impracticable
and visionary, whatever it might hare been at one time. !,
These Tories are forty or fifty years too late with
their principle. We depend for our existence upon our foreign
trade, and this foreign trade, and the millions who live by it,
must be sacrificed ere we can recur to the system they desire—
we must recur to the happy feudal state ardently longed for by
the Quarterly Reeler', and pass the ploughshare over Man-
chester and London. Ii this perfect state of accord between
all the parts of the empire has not been attained, the Tories
have themselves principally to blame. It is not impossible that
England might have been so governed as to have formed a vast
empire all-sufficing in itself, finding in its transatlantic and
other colonies markets large enough for the utmost energies
of its home population. Had George 111. so governed the
American plantations as to have avoided the war of inde-
pendence, we might have depended upon the mutual help of
the whole Anglo-Saxon race, wherever situated or belonging.
At all events, our hold upon them would have been stronger
than our present commercial relations were proved to be at
the time of our boundary disputes. But Dims aliter visum.
Nor is that the only instance in which groat national advan-
tages have been lost by their blinded policy. With regard to
this very sugar question itself, had the Tories, in 1816, at
the Congress of Vienna, when Lord Castlereagh had only to
ask to obtain every concession from the Sovereigns of
Europe, only thought of demanding the Islands of Cuba and
Java, the slave trade would never have attained its present
height, nor the supply of sugar ever have failed to the pre-
sent extent. The supremacy of the seas and the monopoly of
trade were, however, never willingly conceded by the rest
of Europe to Great Britain. The Navigation Laws placed
Holland, the Netherlands, and Germany, virtually without the
pale of the commercial world, so far as it depended on us;
yet, in 1667, in the Treaty of Breda, the States-General

ETROPOLITAN ANTI-CO RN-LAW
ASSOCIATION.
The PEOPLE of ENGLAND have now fairly entered
upon a mortal and protracted struggle with the banded legions
of monopoly and private interest. Their opponents arc power-
fell in the social influence of tax-created wealth, and in the
possession of the strong-holds of political defence ; while on
the side of the community there is only the truth and justice
of their cause, a-med in the panoply of public opinion. But
that opinion must be formed by knowledge, and it can only be
efficiently expressed by organization, and the diffusion of in
formation. '1 he distribution of tracts, the formation of Anti-
Corn-law Associations, the delivery of Jew-tires, and other
peaceful and constitutional means of popular strength, can only
be attained by a liberal supply of money ; and this Associa-
tion is convinced, that as their single object is the greatest hap-
piness of the gi eatest number, British independence and the
generosity of the community, will place them in a position
efficiently to awaken the public to the importance of the aboli-
tian of all monopolies which press up,n the necessaries of life.
The Business Committee, thereforey EARNESTLY EN-
TREAT their FELLOW-COUNTRYMEN! to subscribe
liberally towards the objects of the Association.
Donations and subscriptions will be received at the Office,
485, Strand, or at Messrs. Prescott, Grote, and Co 's, Thread-
needle-street. As the Association extends its operations over
the whole kingdom, it will thankfully receive subscriptions
from the country. It hr.s only to be added that as the ques-
tion at issue is not one of party, persons of all shades of poli-
tical opinion may, with perfect consistency, contribute to its
object s.

forced Charles IL to undertake to procure their repeal.
In 1787, the American Legislature passed a retaliatory
Act against us, which forced us to make concession=.
The Northern Powers threatened the same. Again we were
forced to give way. In 1815, snore concessions were made to
the United States. In 1822, Prussia, by an order in Council,
struck a retaliatory blow at us which was found most effective
against British shipping. Mr. Huskisson remonstrated. The
Prussians replied, Our shipowners are going to ruin—you
have set us the example. Hitherto we have confined the in-
crease of our port and tonnage charges to ships only ; but it is
the intention of our Government next year to imitate your
example still more closely, by imposing discriminatory
duties on the goods imported in your ships." Once
more we were obliged to give way. Finally, the Tories
were forced to concede reciprocity treaties to one and all of the
European Powers. But all the boons that were thus conceded
have been found by these nations to be trifling and insignificant
compared with what remains. The onward movement had
been proceeding with increased power and velocity, until what
the Tories refused in 1829, they cannot withhold in 1841. If
Europe was too powerful for them in 1829 to resist, shall
its just demands be less powerful now ? How can they
blame the Whigs for yielding in 1841 to what they
could not deny twelve years before? Do they think the world
has stood still since that time? Or do they suppose the ques-
tion of the abandonment of the corn monopoly has been for-
gotten by the rest of the world, or our own famishing millions?
When does hunger sleep? Well did the Anti-Corn-law Dele-
gates declare, on the last defeat of Mr. Villier's motion, that
they retired for that time—bnt only like the waves of the ocean,
" More auful to return."
Well will it be for the monopolists to be wise in time.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result
of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec-
tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either
altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in-
difference, by the oulinary practitioner. To enter into the
details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to
mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical,
which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits,
would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have
no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of
society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe-
ther we consider such person to hold the relation of a PA-
RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
POST.—Business was again languid at the Stock Ex-
change, the quotations generally for the English market, and,
we might add, for the foreign as well, continuing much the
same as on Saturday. A good deal of speculation and conjec-
ture were indulged in with regard to the probable composition of
the future Ministry, it being assumed as certain, and this very
naturally, that the Melbourne party will be unable to resist the
consequences of the approaching vote. Sir Robert Peel is of
course looked to as the Statesman most likely to be charged
with its formation ; but the Duke of Richmond, notwithstand-
ing his well-known bias in favour of the existing Corn-laws,
has been named as a Nobleman to whom the Queen may pos-
sibly have recourse in the present emergency. A coalition be-
tween Sir Robert Peel and some of the men now in power has
also been talked of, as among the projects under consideration.
We refrain, however, from pointing out the individuals with
whom it was said Sir Robert would, perhaps, be called upon
to act. This sort of idle gossip seems, for the moment, to have
completely superseded the ordinary business of the day.
CHRONICLE.—We have had some buyers in the Market
to-day, which has made the Funds a shade better. These gen-
tlemen of the Bull species are understood to have been sent
forward as " puffers," or " family flappers, by the Tories, to
give prices a start, upon the rumour, which has been again ra-
ther rife to-day, that the Government would resign upon being
in a minority on the motion of Lord Saudon. Some of the
people '' in the house" have certainly got it in their heads that
the possible accession of the "Thins' OWN" to office would be
rather favourable to the funds ; and we have lately stated rea-
sons why such would probably be the immediate result. In the
first flush of power their influence with many capitalists would
nduce these people to make great exertions to prop up the
funds to give a show of popularity, and, for a short period, pro-.
bably with partial success; but the advance could not be great
nor permanent, and would be followed, under existing circum-
stances, by a re-action of a very different and determined
character.
S UN. —The Stock Market assumed a more buoyant appearance
to-day, and there was an improvement in Consols, taking the
closing prices of Saturday, of from to per cent. The cur-
rent value of Consols to-day was 84 to 90, the market closing
at 89 90, and the quotations for Account were 90 and 90A ;
76
Money was not so scarce, but a sale of 50,000/. sent down Ex-
chequer Bills to par, subsequently they rallied to 3s. premium.
The East India Bonds were at par ; New Three-and-a-Half
per Cents., at 98i to 984, and India Stock at 2511.
The Foreign Market is still in a very inanimate condition,
and the quotations wear a heavy appearance. The Portu-
guese New Five per. Cent. Bonds were quoted 34 ; Spanish
Actives, 234 ; Mexican at an improvement to 28%; Colom-
bian at 224; Brazilian at 671; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. at 52%.
For Shares of all kinds the demand is but limited. London
and Birmingham were at 68 to 69i; the New at 22 to 221 ;
and Great Western at 2911 premium; Brighton were 311;
Blackwall, 7; and North Midland, 26 discount.

WARSAW, MAY 7.—The Emperor i!iicholas, on occa-
sion of the marriage of his son, has enAierred some fa-
'ours on the inhabitants of the King&i:n of Poland.
Oar journals contain three Imperial resoluti;kls. By the
first, all persons under sentence of death ham their pu-
nishment commuted to imprisonment for life ; thetnunish-
ments of confinement in the House of Correctioi: and
.irdinary imprisonments, fines, and corporal punishmb.nts
are, with the exception of some cases, entirely remittcl.:.
By the second, all arrears of debt to the Treasury, ori-
ginating at the time, of the Duchy of Warsaw and of the
kCiagdom till the end of 1831, and many other particu-
larly specified claims which the Treasury has for various
taxes to the end of 1837, are excused. This resolution
Contains, besides, several other financial remissions for
the subjects of the Kingdom of Poland, in respect to ae-
..:id.-ints and losses which they have sustained of late
years. The third resolution grants to a number of po-
litical offenders, among whom there are some banished
t Siberia, either a full pardon or a diminution of their
pun4hment;

BLIEMEN, MAY 10.— Yesterday the Bremen ship Julia
St. Edward, Captain R. Siedenborg, jun., was brought
into the Weser, under the care of a Lieutenant cf the

English Navy, on the pretext, alleged by an English
cruiser, that it was to be employed in the slave trade.
This has caused a great sensation here, because the de-
testation of that scandalous traffic is here too general for
any ship under the flag ofßremen to engage in it directly
or indirectly. The owner of the ship has at once applied
to the Magistrates to have the whole matter thoroughly
investigated, and both to do him justice, and, at the same
time, to clear the • flag of Bremen from every suspicion
that it could lend itself to the carrying on of a scandalous
traffic.—Hamburgh Papers, May 14.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

_ ----- --- •
Mr. Charles Kean made his appearance here last night
for the first time this season, in his favourite character
of Macbeth. The performance of this arduous part dif-
fered little from what it was last year, when he played it
to crowded houses, with the exception that it was a little
more subdued, and, generally speaking, more equabe,
which is a great improvement. Into the pathetic touches
in which the character abounds, Mr. Kean threw infinite
feeling, and delivered that beautiful passage "Duncan is
i in his grave," with a grave, heartfelt sadness, that even
his father never surpassed. But decidedly his best scene
was that of the murder. Nothing could be more impressive
than his soliloquy when he imagines he sees the dagger, or
more harrowing than his sudden burst of remorse when, the
murder perpetrated, and the fear of discovery uppermost in
his thoughts, he cries out, " Wake, Duncan, with this
knocking—would thou couldst !" The banquet scene
was excellent, but we think Mr. Kean emphasized too
1 much—if we may venture to use such an expression—in
his delivery of the passage " Hence, horrible shadow,
unreal mockery, hence !" The effect was rather too me- I
h,clramatic, and intended evidently to call down the
thunders of the gallery. The abrupt bursts and alterna-
tions of feeling of which the last act is made up, were ex-
hibited with force and judgment ; and in the closing
scene between Macbeth and Macduff, just previous to
their desperate encounter, the actor's voice was the only
thing that failed him. Miss Ellen Tree played
Lady Macbeth for the first time. Considerable tact
was evident throughout her performance of this most
impressive of characters ; but mere tact alone will not 1

constitute a Lady Macbeth. Miss Tree did not exhibit
enough of that proud, stern determination of purpose
which characterises the part throughout. When, too,
she remonstrated with her husband for his remorse after
the King's murder, her manner was rather that of an
angry vixen, than of a daring, ambitious spirit, uncon-
sciJus of imaginative apprehensions, and impatient of the
slightest opposition to her fixed will. Considering,

SANDWICH ELEC , 0-N. _t__
TO THE EDITOR OF T _SUN: , r
SlR,—There are some remarks in yo riPaper of-the =lith
instant, on the manner in which the ele to was' carried for
Sandwich, where we are informed that 4 out:of C 4 plots
voted for Mr. Lindsay.
In confirmation of your remarks, I may rn ' obrervit- "- ---
1 tion that eas made by a master pilot on boarclkiNmeploihibE4
I was a passenger. We were discussing the state f parties
after dinner, when the pilot was asked what Ms politics were.
" Why, Sir," said he, " as my masters are Tories, I am Tory
too; but in ntv heart lam a Radical." There uas a general
burst of laughter at this honest declaration; but I observed
that many were of the same opinion, but they had not the ho-
nesty to declare it.
This little instance will explain the influence of the Duke of
Wellington on the Tories at Sandwich, and that we never ca
have honest voting there till we have the Ballot, vihich, as lien.
them remarks, " is a loophole, at which probity may make its
escape from the trammels of seductive influence, and that toe
much care cannot be taken to leave it open."

hoVvever, tlia-t it was Miss Tree's first essay in this line
of character, her performance was a creditable one, and,
in places, received loud and deserved applause. Phelps's
Macduff was an able and energetic performance, that
kept, throughout, the safe mean between rant and manly
energy. The house was crowded to overflowing.

LOSS OF THE WILLIAM. BROWN.
(From the Havre Gazette.)
The English and American Consuls have addressed to us the
following letter, which Establishes in their true light the la-
mentable occurrences which followed the wreck of the William
Brown. The result is, that the frightful necessity of sacri-
ficing part of the passengers for the safety of the rest, is fully
proved. In face of this conviction in the minds of the honour-
able representatives of the two nations interested in the ques-
tion, every injurious reflection ought to cease, and nothing re-
mains but to deplore the fate which warranted this direful sa-
crifice, at nine in the evening, when at the dawn of the next
day succour came in sight :
" Sir,—As much has been said about the unfortunate acci-
dent to the William Brown, and as a complete statement can-
not as yet be laid before the public, we have decided upon
communicating the principal facts. On the arrival of the
Ville de Lyon with seven of the crew, it was thought right to
examine them at the American Consulate, and since the arri-
val of the Crescent we have also interrogated the mate and
several of the passengers. From their evidence it appears,
that in the morning. when the boats divided between them
the people who remained in them, after the ship had gone
down with the thirty passengers left on board, the long-
boat, being overloaded and deprived of her rudder, must
have gone down if the wind came on to blow hard. It did in
fact get up, and towards night the sea became rough, and the
boat, making a great deal of water, presented the alternative
of either going down with all in her, or of saving her by sacrificing
on.! part of those who were in her to save the others. Sixteen
passengers, fourteen of whom were men and two women, who
happened to be nearest the crew in the middle of the boat, were
thrown into the sea. The principal leak was then found, and
the men were able to stop it, empty the boat of the water, and
keep her afloat, which they previously could not de. This terrible
sacrifice of lives commenced about ten at night, and at six in,the
morning the Crescent came in sight. At the beginning, the women
were all placed in the stern, and at the bows of the boat, in
order that they might not impede the men in managing her,
and this explains why so many of them were saved. They
were all severely affected by the cold, anti it appears that
scarcely any of the passengers who were thrown into the sea
made any great resistance, most of them being previously laid at
the bottom of the boat as if they were dead. Throughout the
affair, we have not discovered any fact capable of drawing down
blame upon any one whatever.
We have the honour, &c.

TORIES ANI) CORN-LAWS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SLT N.
,9:n,—We hear from the Peterloo 'Allies, that they ex-
pect a majority of more than twenty on the debate
on th►' sugar duties. There is no meanness, no
falsehoot), no iniquity, of which they will not be guilty
to ensure a majority at the ensuing election, as witness
the placard stating that Ministers had resigned), pub-
lished at Sanct;vich, where the undue influence of Lord
Warden Duke of Wellington is very great, particulary
amongst the poor pilots.
Every reading am.: reflecting man is fully aware of the
flimsy subterfuges used by the Tories regarding the con-
nexion of slavery with the sugar duties. But the un-
reading, unreflecting Ch.5...-tists and labourers, Are not
aware of this ; it is therefore of the highest importance.
when a dissolution takes place, that it should be on the
CORN-LAWS, in which there can h. no mistake. This is the
monster iniquity, the barefaced plunder of the hard-
working, industrious poor, for the low, selfish interest of
the landlords, and the landlords only.
I am myself a landlord, a fundholder, and have an in-
terest in the welfare of India ; but I know that my inte-
rest will be best promoted by attending to the
immutable and unerring laws of right and justice, and
by practising the doctrine of the Christian religon.
Let the people unite in one voice in abolishing the un-
christian, unholy, and iniquitous Corn-laws, " then shall
the-earth bring forth her increase, and God, even our own
God, shall give us his blessing."
Your most obedient servant,
A CHRISTIAN LANDLORD.

SIR,—A petition was got up in our town, signed by
all parties, indeed by all the leading Conservatives, as
well as others in favour of the Ministerial plan of com-
mercial reform, and was presented by R. T. Parker, Esq.,
one of our Members. Judge of the surprise felt by the
Preston people at the reports of the Daily Papers that
this petition was against, instead of being for, the reduc-
tion of the duties of Corn, Timber, and Sugar.
By allowing this a corner of your Paper, you will
oblige A PRESTONIAN.

P.S. An )ther petition for the total repeal of the Corn-
h.ws is des ?itched this evening, containing 16,050 signa-
tures, and a female petition, in red ink, containing 5,070
signatures.

SCOTCH BANKS.
The deputation from the bankers of Scotland, appointed to
come to London pending the inquiry of the Committee
of the House of Commons on banking, have printed
a Report of their proceedings for distribution among
their constituents. The majority of their number arrived
before the 23d of April, and their first step was to obtain an
interview with the Chairman of the Committee, to learn
the course of proceeding and the points of examina-
tion. - At first there was some little difficulty in getting
two witnesses examined, as the Chairman said that Mr.
Blair, of the Bank of Scotland had been examined already,
and that it was the intention to hear no more than two wit-
nesses from Scotland. The difficulty was, however, got over,
and there was no further obstacle to the appointident of Messrs.
Anderson and Kennedy. While in London the deputation
took every opportunity of making themselves acquainted with
the prevailing sentiments in this metropolis, and complain that
the operation of Scotch banking is but imperfectly under-
stood, wt it 3 they express their anxiety at the favour found by
the project of " One Bank of Issue." This was the great
object against which they had to contend. and although
they are not at liberty to publish the cvid nice of their
witnesses, they have printed a written paper, which Mr.
Kennedy wished to read, upon the effects of over-
, turning the present system of Scotch banking, but
which he was not allowed to do in consequence of a
resolution of the Committee not to receive evidence
in that shape. In this paper be observes that a question put
to him, as to whether the loss of the profit derived by the
Scotch honkers from the use of their currency could not
easily be made up by a
.smaq deduction from the interest al-
lowed on deposits, stems to indicate that they form an exag •
Berated opinion of the value of an unrestricted command of
their currency, and that a small per tentage (say a quarter)
upon the amount of the deposit money would form the loss
su-tained by an alteration. Mr. Kennedy argues that the
change would require 1 per cent. to be deducted from the
deposits, to the great injury of the depositors, and, going into
the history of banking in Scotland, contends that by the en-
couragment offered to the industrious classes to deposit their
savings, the country has beenraised from poverty to comparative
opulence, and that the system having worked so well, it would be
utterly inexpedient to begin taxing deposits, to introduce a more
expensive system of banking. But the most important part of
the report i 3 an expression of the satisfaction that the
deputation have derived from their temporary association, and
a recommendation that the connection thus formed may not be
allowed to expire when its immediate object is attained, but
that there may be an organised association for the establish-
ment of such regulations from time to time as may be condu-
cive to the benefit of the bankers and community of Scotland.
That such an association will be really formed, seams to be
p etty generally believed among those who are well acquainted
with the facilities for combination, as well as the disposition t o
combine, which exist in Scotland. If such is the vase. and tlic
Committee of the Howe of Commons do no more than the?
have hitherto done, which seems at least probable, the only
effect of its operations will have been to render the advocates
of the present system stronger and more completely otganised
than before, and to cause the prospects of a change to be more
remote than ever.— Times.

" Ship Tigris, May 13, 1841.
" My Lord Primate,—According to your Grace's de-
sire, I have the honour to forward the proceedings of the
inquest held on board my ship, on the 28th of April last,
upon the body of your Grace's nephew, the late Lord
James Beresford.

TEETOTALLERS AT CROYDON.
A disturbance, which at one time it was feared would
have been attended with serious consequences, took place
on Friday at Croydon, arising out of the attempt of a
teetotaller to give a lecture to the inhabitants upon the
subject of the evils of dram-drinking, and the beauties of
tcetotallism. The lecturer arrived in the town in the
early part of the day, and he employed the crier to go
round the town with his bell and give notice of a meet-
ing, to be held at the back of the Town-hall. The crier,
notwithstanding the errand he was upon, had very little
regard for the teetotal principle, for before he had gone
half his round it was very evident that he was no tee-
totaller, and the circumstance of his giving notice of a
teetotal meeting while in this condition caused a good deal
of merriment, and this, together with the novel exhibition,
caused a great crowd of the lower orders of the town
to assemble at the appointed hour, and the lecturer, a
melancholy--looking middle-aged man dressed in a seedy
suit of black, soon afterwards made his appearance, and
mounted on a chair and commenced an address. During
this time some of the bystanders had obtained a quantity
of beer, with which they regaled themselves to the great
horror of the lecturer, who declared, upon his being
asked to partake of some of the forbidden liquor, that he
preferred water to the best beer that could be obtained.
He was going on to expatiate upon the great virtues of
water, when some of the crowd upset his stool,
and he fell among the mob, who pummelled him,
tore his coat off his back, " bonneted " him, and used,
him so roughly that he was very glad to
get away as well as he could from them, and take
shelter in the house of Mr. Bunce, the grocer; he was
followed by the mob, who expressed their determination
to give him a bellyful of his favorite liquor by drawing
him through the pond. It was at length considered pru-
dent to send to the police-station for assistance, and
Sergeant Culpepper, accompanied by three or four con-
stables soon arrived at Mr. Bunce's, and on forcing their
way through the crowd they found the unhappy teeto-
taller in the kitchen in a miserable plight, covered with
dirt, and his clothes nearly torn off his back, but with the
exception of a few bruises he had, fortunately,
not received any bodily injury. The officers
then expressed their willingness to protect him to
the railway station, but it was not until he had
taken a drop of brandy, that he could muster up courage
to face his tormentors, and when he came into the High-
street, accompanied by the constables, he was greeted

enjoyed good health and cheerful spirits ; but early on

catastrophe deplored by every individual on board, and
by no one more sincerely than by myself.
" It may perhaps be a melancholy consolation to your
Grace, and the other members of Lord James's family, to
know that the act which thus terminated his life cannot
be traced to any worldly cause whatever, but solely to a
fever on the brain, and consequent temporary bereave-
