CORN-LAWS IN oun.CoLoNlEs.—We remarked
in The Sun more than a twelvemonth ago, that
Mr. .Wakefitld's system of demanding a high
price for land in our Colonies and forcing culti-
vation, carried with it the germ of a Corn-law.
Here is a justification of our opinion :—A peti-
tion on the subject of Corn-laws for New South
Wales had been presented to the Legislature by
the Chief Justice of the Colony, who remarked,
that ". thousands of acres in Australia had been
cleared at a vast expense, and if they are thrown
out of cultivation, itAvill be so much dead loss.
to the Colony, and the advance which Australi
has made must be destroyed."

EATION OF THE PRINCE OF
WALES, &c.
(From the London Gazette of last Evening.)
The Queen has been pleased to order letters
patent to be passed under the Great Seal, for
creating his Royal Highness the Prince of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
(Duke of Saxony, Duke of Cornwall and Roth-
say, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of
the Isles, and Great Steward of Scotland), Prince
of Wales and'Earl of Chester.

STOPPAGE of the TWEED BANK.
The following notice was posted on the door of
the Tweed Banking-house, on Monday morning:—
" Messrs. Batson, Berry, and Co. beg to in-
form the public, that, owinc, to unavoidable cir-
cumstances, they are obliged to suspend payment.
" Berwick, Dec. 6, 1841."
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
BERWICK, MONDAY EVENING, DEC. 6, 1841.
The Bank did not open to-day, and the above
bill was issued about eleven o'clock. The public
had the utmost confidence in their stability, and
there is hardly an individual in business but has
suffered in consequence. Many have lost their
all, and the circumstance has caused a very
great sensation. I have not heard any reason
assigned for their failure ; but there are many
heavy individual losses, and it will be a long
time before the town recover, from the shock.

XCHEQUER BILL- FORGERY.
MR. ItAPALLO.
(mom 'A CORRESPONDENT.)
In consequence of Mr. Smith pleading Guilty, the
prosecutors did not go before the Grand Jury to prefer
a bill against Ernest Rapallo, who stood indicted for a
like offence, and in consequence he was discharged last
night. Ile had not left Newgate half an hour before
au Inspector of Police arrived to intercept his egress, or
to lodge a detainer, upon a new charge of uttering
similar Government documents, but the bird had flown.
A good deal of surprize was expressed that the bill was
not submitted to the consideration of the Grand Jury,
as there were forty-nine witnesses indorsed on the back
of it awaiting an examination.

There appears to have been a great deal• of mis
management (to say the least) in this affair, from be
ginning to end, and the public will not be satisfied until
truth is more fully disclosed, •
