OYCE'S PATENT PORTABLE
kr STOVES. —These excellent, useful, and convenient
Stoves no house should be without, being so particularly adapted
for all purposes of airing, drying, and heating, and being
portable, can be used in any part of the house as required
without dirt, dust, or damage from fire, and will burn from
twelve to eighteen hours, without any trouble beyond the first
lighting, which may be done in the kitchen or yard. For
stables, coach-houses, harness-rooms, hot and green-houses,
and conservatories, they are invaluable. Improvements have
also been made by the addition of pipes or chimneys suitable
fur offices, shops, warehouses, &c., for the purpose of burning
coke, at the trifling cost of threepence per day.
To be had at the Patent Stove Depot, 58, King William-
street, London Bridge; or Wright and Nash, Oxford-street.

SPANISH FINANCE.

The consolidated debt of Spain, both foreign and
domestic, is estimated at near 6,010 millions of riots (every
millio❑ is qual to about 10,300/. sterling), to which the
R,'geney decree, published in the Madrid Gazette of the
22d inst., for the conversion of the overdue dividends,
' would, if acted upon by the bond or titulo holders, have the
effect of increasing- it by a sum of near 979 millions, so that
the grand total of the funded debt might then exceed 6,980
millions of rials. The impracticable absurdity of offering to
pay compound interest, when the interest on the original ca.
pital cannJt be, or at any rate is not, paid, is so very palpable
that it requires no further comment than the bare men-
tion of the fact. Agreeably to the most seemingly correct
information that I can obtain, it would appear that the va-
lue of the national property still on hand, including the
ceases, exceeds 1,100 millions of rials; that of the pro-
perty and estates belonging to the high clergy, chapters,
&c., converted into State property by one of the decrees
above referred to, is supposed not to be under 1,9b0 mil-
lions ; whilst the property formerly belonging to the
Encomiendas, Ot denes Militaircs, &c., now the nation's,
stands at a valuation of upwards of 300 millions. The
sums due by the various individuals who have bought na-
tional property since 1834 exceed the large amount of
1,400 millions, including the censos, because most of
them have not even paid up the first instalment, through
the connivance of the authorities, whereas they hare
been in the receipt of the rents or profits arising from
their respective purchases. The still outstanding ar-
rears by the purchasers of national property in the
years 1821 and 1522 arc about 67 millions of rials ;
and so lukewarm are those persons in coming for.
ward with the needful, that orders were issued last even-
ing to the interdentes of the respective provinces—there
are six millions due in Granada alone—directing them
to enforce the payments within one month of the
issue of the public notice, or otherwise to proceed to take
possession of the estates and properties, besides enforcing
the bankrupt laws for such balances as there shall still be
owing. It will thus seem that the national property, &c.,
and outstanding debts due by purchasers, &c., are valued
at 4,817 millions of rials, whereas the consolidated debt
will now exceed 6,980 millions, independent of a much
more considerable sum existing of certificates or debt
without interest. It consequently follows that unless a
rigorous but possible system of retrenchment be forthwith
enforced, nothing ultimately satisfactory can be looked for-
ward to on the part of the bondholders, the more espe •
cially so since it has become a subject of general notoriety
that Mendizabal is the de facto Minister of Finance, as well
as the concoctor of all measures emanating from that de-
partment.

COURT OF CHANCERY, FEB. 6.
cALDrcoTT V. CA LDICOTT.-JUDGMENT.

The Loan CILA NCEI Loa gave judgment to-day in this ease.
which was argued before his Lordship yesterday upon appeal
from the decision of his Honour the Vice Chancellor. The
only question in the case was whether the gift of the residue of
the personal estate under the will of tilt, testator in the cause a as
void for uncertainty. The Vice Chancellor decided that it
was, and from that decision the present appeal was brought.
The Lord thancellor was clearly of opinion that there was nu
ambiguity in the testator's will, and ordered the Vice Chan-
cellor's decision to be reversed, the costs to be costs in the cause.

COPY OF LETTER FROM SIR P. LAURIE TO THE MAR.

QUIS OF NORMANBY.
7, Park-square, Jan. 16, 1841.
My Lord,—l have the honour to acquaint you, in
reply to your Lordship's letter of this date, that the re-
port of the physicians as to Bethlent Hospital has not
been published by the authority of the Committee, or
of the President or Treasurer.
Your Lordship will observe that the Report has, by
order of the Committee, been printed and circulated
ttmongst the Governors, to enable them to take it into
consideration at the next general Court ; and it can-
not be a matter of surprise that, with so extended a
circulation, a Report so highly interesting to the public
at large should be published in the newspapers, •
Bethlem Hospital, with the exception o! the criminal
wing, is supported by private liberality, and rests upon
public opinion ; and every Governor must, therefore,
be desirous that so satisfactory a statementynaade by the
highest authority, should obtain the same publicity
through the same medium as the accusations against us.
The Committee being of opinion that the Report of
the physicians, founded, as it is, upon a careful and un-

BRIDENVELL AND BETHLEM HOSPITALS.

At a Court held at the Hospital of Bridewell, on Mon.

day, the '2sth day of January, 1841—
The President laid before the Court three letters
from the Marquis of Normanby to himself, relating to
the Report of Dr. Mayo and Dr. Southey. and his re-
plies thereto, which, with the several replies, were or-
dered to be entered upon the minutes, and are as
:

COPY OF LETTER FROM THE MARQUIS OF NORMANBY

TO SIR P. LAURIE.

WhiteltMl, Jan. 16, 1841.

Sir—l am desirous of being informed by whose au-
thority the Report of the physicians as to Bethlem Hos-
pital, forwarded by me at your request, has been pub-
lished in this morning's newspapers, before it hav bean
submitted to the general meeting-of Governors, and un-
accompanied by my letter to you.
In that letter it must have appeared that I consi-
dered it a necessary condition, in complying with your
request, that I should, at the same time, after an at-
tentive consideration of the whole of the proceedings in-
stituted at my desire, and for my information and deci-
sion, convey my own opinion upon many circumstances
elicited by the evidence, and but imperfectly adverted
to in the Report..
I cannot but consider it unfair that this Report
should have been published before that general meeting
at which I had particularly recommended that Mr.
Sergeant Adams should have been specially invited to
attend ; and I founded this desire upon my opinion
that the circumstances which had been observed by
the great Sergeant were such as, at the rime, thoroughly
to warrant the impressions which he had then imbibed.
I am sure the Governors of Bethlem Hospital must
desire to act upon the principle of doing ample justice
to the motives wad conduct of any one who gives them
an opportunity of originating the most
searching in-
quiry into any circumstances of a suspicious aspect, and
must feel that it is no unimportant part of such in-
quiry that there should be no premature or partial pub-
lication, but that at the proper time the fullest and
fairest communication of the result should be given to
the public.
I am, Sir, your most obedient and humble servant,
NORIVIANBY.

COPY OF LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT TO THE

MARQUIS OF NORMANBY.

Park-square, Jan. 5, 1841.
My Lord—l have the honour to acknowledge the
receipt of your Lordship's letter, with the report of the.
physicians appointed to inquire into the treatment of
the patients in the criminal wing at Bethtem Hospital.
I shall lay tha report, with your Lordship's observa-
tions, before a Committee of Governors on the ltlth
inst., and before the General Court on the 25th
to which Mr. S,2rgennt Adams will be summoned as a
Governor of the Hospital, and I am convinced that it
will afford them great pleasure to hear the very satis-
factory report which Dr. Mayo and Dr. Southey have
drawn up.— I have the honour to be, my Lord, your
Lordship's most obedient servant,
P. LAURIE, President.
The Most Honourable the Marquis of
Normanby, Sec, &c. &c.
When it was resolved—That this Committee receives
with very great satisfaction the report of Dr. Mayo and
Dr. Southey, and they will, with as little delay as pos-
sible, take measures for carrying into effect the recom-
mendation of the physicians as to the increased means
of employment for the patients generally.
And it was further resolved—That the Report in
question be printed and circulated among the Gover-
nors:, with the ensuing Court summons, and that it be
taken into consideration at the next Court.

COPY OF TRANSLATION OF AN IMPERIAL EDICT.

On the second day of the ninth moon (27th Septe.n-
ber) the following Imperial edict was received (by the
Imperial Council, Pekin) written with the -vermilion
pencil :
" Lin Isih sew. You received my Imperial orders to
go to Canton to examine into and manage the affairs re-
lating to opium. Your duty as regarded externals was
to cut off all commercial intercourse (with the English)
and purify the flock of their wicked ones, as regarded
internals to seize native traitors and thus cut off all
supplies (to the English). Why have you delayed so
long the matters connected with these small, petty, con-
temptible criminals, who are ungratefully. obstinate and
unsubmissive ? You have not only proved yourself un-
able to cut off their (the English) intercourse, but you
have also to seize native traitors ? You laboured in
vain with empty words to put a stop to either of the
above, and you have screened and glossed over the
truth with specious words ; and so far from having been
of any help in the affair, you have caused the
waves of confusion to arise and the springs of evil to
spout out in a hundred directions numberless and bot-
tomless as the sea ; in fact, you have only folded your
arms without devising any plans, being no better than
a wooden image. When in silence you think upon your
conduct your mind must be deeply grieved. 1 look to
you and ask, what have you to say in reply to me, your
Emperor ? I order that your official seals be immedi-
ately taken from you, and that you hasten with speed
of flames to Pekin, that I may examine you in my pre-
sence. Delay not.

" 1 order the Fooyuen E to take charge of the Go-
vernment of the two Kwang provinces.
" Respect this."

The following intelligence of the 13th has just been
received express from Canton :—" At two o'clock to-
day a chop was received from Pekin, commanding Lin
to hand over the seals of office to the Fooyuen, which
he is to do to-morrow morning. He has already re-
moved from the Viceroy's palace. He has been ordered
to wait here the coming of Keshen. It is said be will
lose his button, if not his head. The first chop from
the Emperor charges him with not having kept a single
promise, and with having brought trouble and war on

" SINGAPORE, Nov. 9, 1840.
" We addressed you on the 31st ult., and have now
to advise the arrival of the Rob Roy with accounts
from China to the 25th. The following extracts from
our letters we hope may prove interesting to you. Mr.
King (of Russell and Co.'s) arrived horn Canton last
night. He reports that the Hong merchants expect
Lin to take his departure for Pekin in the course of a
day or two, and that they are fully impressed with the
conviction that aff.iirs will soon be adjusted, and that
with this feeling they refuse either to buy or sell, and
that in cousequenee cotton bad fallen two tads.

London, England, 1841-02-08


TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—Being a subscriber to your papir I take the li-
berty of trwabling you with an account of an arrival here
to-day, the early information of which, if worth your in-
sertion, yea may in your own way, my only object being
to make known a little the merits of cur harbour.
The steam-packet the Dcvor left Ostend yesterday at
noon, with a strong wind, easterly, -for Dover, but on et--
riving there found so much sea at the entrance of the har-
bour as to deem it unsafe to make the attempt to eater.
They accordingly bore up for Rye harbour, which they.
entered to-day, at eleven oVock, with the greatest ease.
and safety, thus giving one proof of tine favourebl, and su-
perior situation of Rye harbour over any other upon this
part of the coast for a harbour of refuge. The little
money lately laid out upon works at the entrance of the har-
bour, by the recommendation of Mr. Cukitt, has improved
the entrance to it so much as to show clearly that a very
small sum indeed (compared with the estimated expen,e
of making a harbour of refuge in the sea) expended in
continuin; the works further out, would soon talk(' it a
harbour of refuge for all descriptions of vessels, except of
the very largest class, at nearly all times of the tides. and
in all sorts of weather.

The packet had about 20 passengers on board; arnoi:gst
them were two servants of the King of 13,1giurn, with a
quantity of luggage, and a person wiih Government de-
spatches, who was immediately forTarded to DJvf-r
Rye, Feb. 7. 1841.

WRECK OF THE W ESTMINSTER

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,--I beg to acquaint you tort
th,! prifielpal produce
on board this ship was tea. which, after the 'wreck, was
brought into the London Docks, where it was found to be
so saturated with sea water as to be unfit even for expor-
tation (being more like dung than anything else); hence
the merchant was obliged to put his wits tO work to make
the best mart of it he could ; and, after compromising
with the Customs for a low rate of duty, according to 'an
old Act of Parliament, washed the tea with Thames
water, and dried it in malt-kilns, and advertised it for sale
on Wedneday lest. But the trade, as is their usual cus-
tom, unanimously refused to buy the trash, justly alleging
it to be unfit for use. This sonic stuff is intended to be
again pressed for sale on Monday next; but I hope the
trade of London will again come forward as on the former
occasion, to prevent this unwholesome Margate salted
tea (in itself ten times worse than the British leaf) from
pastiag into, the teapots of the poor, and of the union
workhouses.

I hold it to be a respon•ibile duty on liberal journalists
like yourself to protect the public against such frauds,
and by your noticing it in any way that may tend to the
good of the poor and public generally, you will oblige
your most obedient servant, IW BERT ARCHER.

DISMISSAL OF TONNAGE.

The following is an extract from a letter dtted Chu-
sun, 4th October ;-
4' I have to inform you that the Admiral hes ordered
5,000 tons of the shipping to be off, chiefly small vessels.
This had been the rumour for some time, but was de-
cided on the 12th instant, and the ships are to get their
orders on Saturday, the 17th. They are at present dis-
charging the remainder of the stores, and it will take
some time to get eYerything out ; they will not, there-
fore, be able to get away before the middle of next week.
Whether they will be allowed to touch at Macao on
their return to Calcutta I have not yet heard, but it is
generally sueposed that they will not finally be paid off
at Calcutta, bnt sent back again with stores. The ves-
sels that are to be discharged are the following
belle Robertson, William Wilson, Victoria, Ranger,
Clifton, Defiance. Clarissa, Tomatia, Meduria, and
Braemar, which I beli,:ve is all. The crew of the In-
dian Oak arc come up all safe in the junk the Leo Choo
people built for them. The Admiral is to he at Macao
by the 15th of next month.—Canton Press, Oct. 24.
LIN'S VISIT TO THE AMERICANS.—AbOUt a week
since the ex-Governor Lin, the Foyuen, several other
high Canton mandarins, and some officers lately arrived
from Pekin, went to Whampoa, on boar:, two Ameri-
can ships there, where they staid some time. Our cor-
relondent suggests that this visit may have been caused
by sonar plan of an intended impreifernent of the China
navy being entertained ; but if such be the case, the
looking at two merchantmen will not aid them much.—

(From the Scottish I?eformers' Gazette.)
We observe that Mr. Robert Bell, Procurator of the
Church, has just been appointed to the Sheriffship of the
shire of Berwick. Mr. Bell and his friend the Lord Ad-
vocate were the counsel learned in the law for the rebel-
lious sons of the Kirk in the Strathbogie case. Mr. Bell
prepared all the pleadings for them. lie is their procura-
tor or adviser in the General Assembly. And is this the
reward he has received through the Lord Advocate—and
tlae Lord Advocate must have recommended him—for
bearding the law, and contending against the Queen's
Judges.

We arc told by the Non- Intrusionists, and they have
made a great noise about it, that the Sheriff of Banff (Mr.
Currie) was ordered to repair to his county, the other
day, to protect the Presbytery of Strathbogie in their pro.
ceedings at Marnoch. We have no doubt that Mr. Currie
was prepared to do his duty if necessary. But we hope
there are no rebellious sons of the Church in tho Presbytery
of Berwick. For, if there be, with what decency could
this Mr. Sheriff Bell be asked, seeing that he had actually
counselled them in similar lawless proceedings, to go forth
as the Sheriff of the county, and put the law into execu-
tion against them?

At —every step he has been taking in Church matters
within the last twelve months, this Lord Advocate of Scot-
land is only entangling himself, and exposing the Govern-
ment with which he is connected to just reproach.

MONEY--TIZADE-COMDIERCE.

The woollen trade in Ireland is again in a very de-
pressed condition. The accounts. from, the neighbour-
hood of Kilkenny are most disheartening.
A large assortment of lead ore has been lately for-
warded home from a lead mine newly discovered in the
Mount Lofty range in South Australia. The quantity
of silver contained in the ore is fifteen ounces per ton,
and of lead about 85 per cent.

I moults or Tun DAY.

The Duke of Buckingham is not to have a seat in the
Peel or Shuffling Cabinet, and the consequence is that
the Right lion. Premier expectant will find a consider-
able difficulty, notwithstanding the lists handed round by
his friends, of forming a presentable Ministry.

Since the Post announced that the Tories are to
have a Whig Speaker, and particularly since the Times
announced this morning that there must be a fixed
duty on corn, and which is supposed to speak on that
point the sense of Sir G. Murray, and all the commer-
cial supporters of Sir Robert Peel, and•to shadow forth
the Peel policy on corn,— there has been quite
a commotion in the Carlton Club. The Ultras,
headed, we believe, by Lord Lowther or Sir Richard
Vyvyan, are resolved not to submit. At any rate, they
are caballing, and mean, it is said, as they have not much
confidence in Sir R. Peel, to propose Sir Eardley Wilmot,
in opposition to his recommend ition, as Speaker. They
say that the conduct of Sir Robert in 1829 con-
vinces them that they must not trust him, and to
make him useful they must begin by convincing him
that he is dependent on them.
The Tories say. that Sir Robert Peel was dis-
creet at Tamworth, and refused to state his policy ;
but in ' his letter to Mr. Shaw Lefevre he as-
sumes that he is already Prime Minister, and an-
nounces that he means to favour the Whigs. They in-
fer, therefore, that the policy which he conceals is in-
tended to throw more of his friends overboard.

Sir Richard Vyvyan, whom the Standard formerly
designated as Foreign Secretary, in case of a
change in the Ministry, is not to have any
post under the Peel Administration. Sir Robert
looks on him, not only with suspicion, but
with distrust. Ile is too straight-forward and un-
compromising a person for the slippery Baronet, who
sees with much repugnance that Sir Richard has a
scat in Parliament. The two Baronets are in some sort
rivals, and Sir Richard Vivyan is already spoken of as
the leader of the honest and uncompromising Tories.
--• Bets are offered in the sporting circles that Sir R.
Peel, as the head of a Tory Administration, will not be
six months in office.

The Salopian Journal states that a rumour is cur-
rent that Sir •lt. Bulkeley will shortly be promoted to
the peerage, and that Mr. Stanley will, in consequence,
be elected for the Flintshire boroughs.

TO THE EDIT6it DP THE SUN.

Stn,—A glance at the returns will show the deplorable
• state of our representative system. It is evident that the
intelligence of the' United Kingdom is swamped by the
ignorant farmers and the corrupt freemen. The new
boroughs in the metropolitan district, with Manchester,
. Salford, Stockport, Oldham; Rochdale, Bolton, Sunder-
land, Greenwich, Tynemouth, and South Shields, elect
Reformers, and the old boroughs, which contain free-
men, . viz., Liverpool, Hull, Whitehaven, Worcester,
Lynn, Harwich, Rochester, Canterbury, Lincoln, Exeter,
Knaresborough, Scarborough, and Cambridge, return
Tories. Leeds is about the only large tOwn not cursed
with freemen which has selected a Tory to represent it.
In Newcastle-on-Tyne, where they are afflicted with
freemen, the parties avoid a contest and return a
Whig and a Tory, whilst in the adjoining new
borough of Gateshead, which is only separated
by the river, a Tory dare not show his face.
I think we sho'uld not, wish a revolution in Ireland and
disturbances in England and Scotland because the Tories
have contrived to delude and intimidate a set of stupid
farmers, and to bribe the notoriously corrupt freemen in '
the English boroughs, but the sense of the nation should
be taken by some means or other. Perhaps a convention
of delegates from all•the large towns of the United King-
dom would be the most effective method.—l am, Sir,
your most obedient servant, A REFORMER.
When our Sheriff's Poll-book is published I expect it
will show a majority of between 300 and 400 101. house-
holders in favour of the Reform candidates, although we
were defeated by the freemen ; and I believe the same
will be the case with every large town which has the mor-
tification and disgrace of having returned Tories.

r Eighth,—lt would put the twenty thousand ..pound
man and the one hundred thousand pound man on an
equality in the corn trade, as there would be no neces-
sity for holding.
Ninth,—lt would give a vast impetus to our manufac-
tures, increasing the price of labour, and lowering
the price of bread.
Tenth,—lt would prevent the capitalist taking two
profits—the manufacturer's and his own.
Eletentli,—lt would lower the price of bread three-
pence per quartern, which, to the population of Eng-
land, 24 millions (giving eight persons to a family),
Making three millions of families, consuming . two
quarterns a day, at least say sixpence per day per
family, or eighteen millions of pence per day, for 365
days, gives upwards of twenty-seven millions of pounds,
into the pockets of the people per annum.
Twelfth,—lt would create a boundless market, and a
regular supply, owing to the vast capital open to the
trade, and the immediate sale of the merchant-manufac-
turer's stacks of corn, who would not hold his corn to
watch the distress of his country, but convert it directly
into cash to pay his workmen, and make more goods.
Thirteenth.—lt would not prevent the capitalist join.
ing also in the trade ; there would be ample latitude left
for him, because an article bartered for half cash and
half goods would not be imported so low as for all cash;
thus there would be 120 millions instead of 20, if need
required to play with.
I have sold abroad the manufactures of my country for
twenty-five years, from 1805. I have bartered many a
lot of Manchester goods for produce, part goods part
cash but I would refer to my book of customs. I
found a fixed duty to make my calculations upon, but a
sliding duty I confider unjust, because, exclusive of the
mass of merchants, and a curse to the country. •
I ridicule those who say barter is not to be effected
without manufactures ; I have
,effected it often ; but
the duty must be fixed to accomplish it for the merchant,
who has the two trades to follow, of manufacturing and
importing.
Query—Why .is corn to be the only article on which
a sliding 'duty is affixed ?
I am, Sir, your's, respectfully, •
July 27, 1841. E. T.
This is no question of Whig or Tory, Radical or
Chartist ; the salvation of the country depends upon a
prompt alteration Of the_present evasive smuggling law.
N' lowering of the sliding scale will prevent the smug-
glingnothing but a fixed duty will do it. Oh, ye legis-
lators! the capitalist outwits you, and laughs at you, and
depriyes'the revenue of hundreds of thou Sands, so that
you are bound to alter a law that permits a coach and
four to be driven through it by the rich, owing to its
defects, and not tax the people over again for the losses
occasioned by such a lathe act.

DUTCH MAIL.

AMSTERDAM, AudusT 3.—We hear that the War
Department has just sent the necessary instructions to
the military authorities whom it concerns for enlisting
foreigners to serve in his Majesty's troops now in the
East and West Indies. • _

FRANKFORT, JULY 31.—Letters from Vienna say
that the book debts of the house of Geymuller amount
to 3,425,850 florins. There is not a country in Europe
that does not lose by this bankruptcy. Some of the
principal nobility suffer severely by it.
According to the Austrian laws the book debts are in
the fourth class, so that their creditors can have little to
expect. Persons from all parts of Germany, who seem
to be more or less interested in this bankruptcy, have
already arrived at Vienna. No exact estimate has yet
been made known of the deposit debts and of the bills of
exchange, which are very considerable.

Count Kolowrath has left Vienna for his estate in
bohemia.
