Rooms, to take steps for introducing two
new candidates. Mr. Joseph Biggs presided at the
meeting, and there were upwards of 100 gentlemen
present. It was unanimously agreed that Richard
Harris, Esq., and John Ellis, Esq., the former at the
head of one of the leading manufacturing firms in the
town, and the latter deputy-chairman of the Midland
Railway Company, should be invited to stand for the
borough. It was also resolved that there should be a
general meeting of the Liberal electors on Monday, and
that the above gentlemen be waited upon previously;
also that the late Members for the borough be invited to
attend the meeting. On the Conservative side no an-
nouncement has yet been made, but it is fully expected
that two candidates will be forthcoming. It is ru-
moured that Lord John Manners and Lord Curzon are
likely to be introduced to the Conservative constituency.
The day of election is not yet fixed, though it is probable
it will occur on Friday next.
NARROW ESCAPE Or HER MAJESTY'S SCHOONER
SPIDER.--The Spider, Lieut. Hayden, left Rio de Janeiro
for Monte Video about the 18th of May, and encoun-
tered some terrific gales; and on, the night of the Ist of
June, when off Monte Video, notwithstanding a strict
look-out, she struck on a reef running out from Bold
Point. It was a long time before they gained assistance
from the ships in harbour, though a great part of the
English squadron was lying there. After some hours
two British and one French steamer arrived to her assist-
ance; but their united efforts were insufficient to move
her. They began to lighten her by throwing the guns,
anchors, &c., overboard; but as she was thumping
heavily, they were obliged to leave her, Lieutenant
Haydon and part of the crew going on board the Lizard,
and the remainder to the Harpy. The next day the ship
was on her broadside, and on that and following days
the crew removed everything but the fittings, but little
hopes were entertained of her ever being got off; but on
the 7th she was found unexpectedly to be afloat. A very
strong breeze blowing towards shore had caused an
unusually high tido, and had thus floated her. A survey
had not been held on the 9th of June. No lives were
lost.— United Service Gazette.

Diocess or FREDERICTON.—The Bishop of Fre-
dericton (New Brunswick), who has been for some
months in this country, making arrangements for the
more efficient management of his diocese, left England
'on Saturday. During his stay in this country, his Lord-
ship was very active in obtaining contributions for the
cathedral, i
which is n progress of erection at Fredericton.
New Brunswick is one of the first colonies in which
the foundation-stone of a cathedral has,been actually laid.
Brunswick The province of New was formerly compre-
hended within the diocese of Nova Scotia, but was
erected into an independent see in the year 1845, when
Dr. Medley, rector of St. Thomas's, Exeter, was con-
secrated to be its first bishop.
.New. Brunswick con-
tains an area of 26,000 square mile, which is rather
leis than Scotland. The population is about 110,000, and
the number of clergy 45; the majority of whom are
mainly supported from the funds of the society for. the
Propagation of the Gdspel in ]foreign-Parts.`

BURNING of the OCEAN MONARCH.
LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY EVENING.—The people of
Liverpool have ever been proverbial for their exertions
in the cause of humanity. On this melancholy occasion
they have nobly sustained that character, and we are
gratified to state that ample preparations are making to
afford the necessary succour to the poor unfortunate sur-
viving passengers of the Ocean Monarch. A committee
has already been formed, consisting of the Mayor, Ad-
miral Grenfell, Mr. Edward Rushton, Mr. James Price,
Mr. Thomas Littledale, Mr. J. Aspinall Tobin, Mr. Re-
bat W. Osgood, Mr. Jacques Myers, Lieutenant Hodder,
and Mr. Cries. Cottesworth Mr. D. Neilson, treasurer.'
Subscription lists have been opened at the various places
of public resort, which we do not doubt will be promptly
filled. Various performaucra are announced to take
place in aid of this purpose, and we believe that through
the exertions that have been made the sum of 8001. has
been already collected, exclusive of clothes, provisions,
&c. The members of the northern bar have also come
forward on this occasion. In a very short space of time,
though many of the members • had departed, they had
subscribed 1401.
But for the exertions of Mr. Littledale's crow, and
the party on board the Affonso , likewise the prompt and
gallant assistance rende red by Captain Dani and crew
of the City of Dublin Company's steamer Prince of
Wales, few, if any of the passengers would have been
saved from the burning wreck.
We now proceed to give the further details that have
comb under our notice.
The Ocean Monarch went down at her anchors at
half-past one o'clock on Friday morning. The Weather
was fine and calm. The captain of the steam tug Liver,
who was within thirty yards of the ship when she sank,
says that with the exception of the solid timbers about
the stem, on which was the figure-head in an almost
perfect state, the fire had consumed the whole of her
upper works to within a few inches of the water's edge.
Indeed, so even was the work of destruction round the
sides of the ship that it appeared to helve been the work
of carpenters. The water first midis its way into the
after part of the ship. As she gradually settled herself
into the bosom of the sea, large volumes of flame rushed
forward with a hissing and crackling sound, till at
length the water completely buried her, and the remains
of this once noble vessel disappeared in about fourteen
fathoms, causing a heavy swell for the moment. •
The Skerryvoro team-tug arrived on Saturday morn-
ing from the scene of the late disaster with five bodies
(two women, one man, and two children), and a quan-
tity of spars, sails, &c., belonging to the ship. The
bodies bad been previously picked up by boatmen, and
when brought to Liverpool were placed in the house ap-
propriated for the unclaimed dead, at the south end of
the Prince's Dock. There were several bruises and cuts
on the heads and faces of the bodies, and one of the
children had apparently been scorched.
Amongst the many who distinguished themselves in
the cause of humanity were the officers of the Affonso
steam-frigate, Commander Alcantara, Lieutenants Tor-
reaii, Costa, Lucia d'Araujo, and Teive. To the
efforts of these officers may be attributed the saving of
many lives.
Two seamen belonging to this frigate also highly dis-
tinguished themselves. Their names are, Francisca
Jose da Silva and Joao Candido. To mark his appre-
ciation of the services of these seamen, one of whom
was much scorched, Prince de Joinville, previous to his
departure, presented them with a handsome donation.
During to-day the Brazilian Consulate has been be-
sieged by parties inquiring for their friends and relatives,
and through the exertions of the Consul many have been
made happy.
The mother of the child, a very beautiful one, of
which Mrs. Grenfell (lady of Admiral Grenfell) had
taken charge, was found yesterday at one of the hos-
mpiotaslts.affooTtiho.
The meeting between mother and child was
It has been stated that the stewardess of the Ocean
Monarch lost her life by going courageously down to
the cabin for the purpose of removing some gunpowder,
when she was suffocated by the smoke. It appears that
she went down for the purpose as stated, was forced
back by the fumes which met her, and fell dead on
reaching the deck.
A meeting, of the surviving passengers called by
Messrs. llarnden and Co., is to take place to-morrow,
and there is every reason to hope, from the respectability
of these gentlemen, that every means will be used to
transmit the unfortunates immediately to their desti-
nations.

The seaman, Frederick Jerome, who has earned so
much praise for his exertions in saving some of the pas-
sengers of the Ocean Monarch, is a native of Portsmouth.
He resided, when in America, at 343, Water-street,
New York.
Captain Murdock, of the unfortunate ship, has pub-
lished a letter, in which he says—" I take this oppor
tunity, through the medium of your journal, for myself
and in behalf of the crew of the Ocean. Monarch, to
render my thanks to Mr. Thomas Littledale, the owner
of the yacht the Queen of the Ocean, and his friends,
Mr. Tobin, Mr. Balk, Mr. Aufrerr, Sir Thomas lies-
keth (the master), and crew, for their indefatigable ex-
ertions in rescuing us from a watery grave, and also for
their humane assistance rendered to us while on board
the yacht. While thus expressing my thanks I cannot
refrain, at the same time, from also expressing my ad-
miration for the skilful and seamanlike manner in which
the Queen of the Ocean was handled."
Captain Hunter, of the Welch steamer Cambria (not
the American mail steamer), has forwarded the following
letter in justification of his conduct in this affair:—
" Sir,—Many rumours having been circulated to my
prejudice in consequence of my not having returned to
the assistance of the ship Ocean Monarch on my pas-
sage from Beaumaris to Liverpool, I have to request
your kindness in inserting the following facts bearing on
the case.—
" Before leaving the Menai-bridge I had given all
my disposable coals to the steamer Medina, reserving
only sufficient to take the Cambria to Liverpool, as can
be proved by the engineers of the two vessels. On
Thursday morning I left Beaumaris about half-past nine
o'clock. At half-past eleven we passed the Ocean Mo-
narch, then standing in shore. Soon after this she
tacked and stood to the northward. At half-past twelve
my attention was called to smoke arising from the ship,
as if she was on fire, when I instantly applied to the
engineer to know if he had coals to take us to the ship
and back; when he replied that he had not. At this
time we were at least ten to twelve miles from the ship.
We saw the Affonso much nearer to her and proceeding
towards her, as was also the Prince of Wales,
and to
these vessels I hoisted a signal that the ship was in dis-
tress. There was also a ship and a yacht within a short
distance of the ship, making towards her, and the Orion
was abreast of us at the time. Not knowing that she
was an emigrant ship I was led to conclude that there
was sufficient assistance at hand. Besides, it is right
I should state that I had two hundred passengers
on board, and my decks completely crowded with
live stock, which would have rendered it difficult
at any time to render efficient assistance, but on this oc-
casion much more so from the sea that was on. Had I
proceeded to the vessel, I must necessarily have re-
mained at anchor until a supply of coals could have been
procured to enable me to return, and
in this position
should it have come on to blow, there can be little doubt
that the Cambria would have been placed in great dan-
ger. All these circumstances considered, I still feel that
I should not have been justified in running the risk of
sacrificing the lives of those passengers who had en-
trusted themselves to my care.
" It could be from no disinclination on my part to
render assistance when practicable. In support of which
I may mention that when the engine of a rival steamer
on the line broke down off Ormshead, in bad weather, I
returned to her assistance and saved ber passengers and
crew; and I should truly rejoice could I have given as-
sistance in this most melancholy case.
" I beg to subscribe myself, Sir, your most obedient
servant, "JOHN HUNTER.

The United States' Consul at this port has addressed
in
the following letter of thanks to the undermentioned
parties:—

" Liverpool, August 26."
Several bodies have been picked up at Hoylahe. The
following letter was received this morning from that
place:—
•, Sir,--We have had brought in here from the unfor-
tunate ship the Ocean Monarch, 13 bodies, picked up in
the Welsh Deep by our fishing-boats, viz., there are two
children, from one to two years old; a Man about 60; a
lad, 13, lame in the left ankle; a girl about six or seven,
had on a black velvet frock and trousers, the lower part
tartan plaid; and eight grown up women, say from 20 to
• • • two of the eight last mentiobed d
60 eels, were named
Julia Dunning and Mary Jones. I have placed the
bodies at the Punchbowl, Shaw's old house; they have
been washed, and I have laid sails to put them on, and
covered them over with my old colours.
" I shall thank you to inform Messrs. Harnden, agents,
of the circumstance, in order that the unfortunate suffer-
ers may be owned. I further beg to say the coroner will
sit over the bodies on Monday.
" I am, dear Sir, yours respectfully,
" B. SHERWOOD.
" N.B. We have a gig-boat and three pieces of spars
brought in here under my charge from the above; have
the goodness to let Messrs. Chapman and Bowman know
the particulars. Should anything turn up I will let you
know.
" I have 22Z 6s. belonging to one of the women,
found on her body while we were stripping the outside
apparel off.
"Evening, three o'clock." •
`The following statement is from. Captain G. Dane, of
the City of Dublin Company's steamer Prince of Wales,
who, seeing the distressed, situation of the Ocean Mo-
narch while on his passage from this port of 1304junitriss,

in the most praiseworthy manner bore down toward I
I her, and was happily the means of saving the lives of a
large number of passenges. After the gallant captain
and his crew had rendered all the assistance in their
power, and having seen the last of the people taken from
the wreck, the steamer, having some of the people on
board who were saved by their humane exertions, pro-
ceeded to her destination, where she arrived at eight
o'clock :
" When outside the lightship I discovered a ship on fire,
bearing about 12 miles N. W. I immediately steered for
her, and ordered one of the boats to be got ready. In going
along I discovered a boat with four hands in it. I took
her iu tow, and in a short time after I saw a man float-
ing on part of the wreck. I sent a boat to pick him up,
and got him on board. At this time there was a great
deal of the wreck floating about. I lowered my boat,
and sent Mr. Batty, the mate, and three hands, to see if
they could pick up any one alive. As Mr. Batty was
going into the boat he discovered the body of a child,
not quite dead, but it was too far gone to recover. I
then proceeded to the ship on fire, and got three more
passengers that were floating. When I came up to the
ship she was in one flame from fore to aft. I did not
think it prudent to go alongside of her, but I came to
anchor close ahead of her. At this time the wind was
increasing and a heavy sea running, and so much of the
wreck hanging about the vessel that the boats could not
approach her with safety. I then got the passengers to
assist to weigh my anchor, and returned to pick up my
own boat. I then returned to the ship, and saw from 20
to 30 people under her bowsprit. I then came to anchor
close to her starboard bow, and got lines attached to the
boats, and saved every one that was left on the wreck.
At this trying moment Mr. Batty was of the greatest
service to me as well as all the other hands, who cheer-
fully and willingly assisted in saving all they could."
The inquests on the bodies that have already been
picked up will take place on Monday (to-day). It is
not expected, however, that any further 4tcts will be
elicited.
We have learned from official sources that the total
number on board of the Ocean Monarch when she left
the Mersey was 380 souls, viz.:—

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, SUNDAY MORNING.
THE SPECIAL COMMISSION.

The Special Commission will certainly be held in Tip-
perary about the time already mentioned, towards the
close of September. The indictment against Messrs.
Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and the other persons impli-
cated in the insurrection at Ballingarry, has been pre-
pared. It is a very ♦oluminous document. In order
that there should be no delay after the opening of the
commission, the indictment will be printed at once. As
soon as the bills are found by the grand jury, printed
copies of the indictment, with the names of the wit-
nesses for the prosecution, sill be furnished to the agents
of the prisoners, who will be required to plead within
the time specified by the Act. It is stated that Chief
Justice Blackburne and Baron Richards will be the pre-
siding judges. The petit jury for the trial of the
prisoners will be taken from the grand panel, and all the
persons on that panel will be bound to attend, with the
exception, of course, of the twenty-three who will form
the grand jury for the finding of the bills of indictment.
DUBLIN, SATURDAY EVENING.—The weather has con-
tinued fine during the day, with a higher temperature
than has been felt since the commencement of the rain
in the early part of last month. Such a harvest day as
this is invaluable; and in the country around Dublin the
farmers are taking full advantage of it. On Sunday last,
when the weather was equally favourable, an immense
quantity of grain was reaped in the county of Wicklow,
where the farmers in some instances fearing a return of
rain, removed the grain with the straw to places of
shelter.

The Mercantile Advertiser has the following statemew
on the Irish whisky' trade:—
" There is a strong tendency to speculate in this
article, owing to the unfavourable reports of the harvest,
and to the opinion which generally prevails that the
potato crop will be seriously damaged by the disease
which has again made its appearance in this country.
The price has accordingiy risen very considerably, and
e understand that sales have been made at 3s. 6d. per
gallon, 25 per cent. over proof, fur the make of last
season. The quantity on hand is unusually small, but
the distillers purpose commencing operations much
curlier than usual, when the price for new will probably
open at or about 3s. It is thought that there will be a
great deal of wheat fit for no other purpose, and that it
will bo largely used in this trade during the ensuing,
season. We have watched with much interest the pro-
gress of certain measures affecting this important branch
of Irish trade, in their different stages before the legis
lature, and we are aware that there has been a deputation
in London for some time endeavouring to procure some
modification of those measures, which the distillers con-
eider will be highly prejudicial to their interests; but we
regret to learn that they have had but little success, and
that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is determined, as
far as possible, to supplant the home manufacture by the
introduction of colonial spirit on the most favourable
terms."
It has been already stated that the " Moral Force"
Repeaters of Conciliation Hall, from a wholesome terror
of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, have post-
poned their meetings " for an indefinite period." The
Limerick Reporter, referring to the hopeless condition of
Conciliation Hall, says:—
"A Dublin correspondent assures us, that the entire
of the valuable library, together with the extensive stock
of publications of every sort, stationary, &c., on the pre-
mises, have been disposed of to Mr. Duffy, the publisher
of Wellington-quay, in order to liquidate the debts due
on the concern."
The Freeman's Journal gives the following account of
the progress of the sale of Mr. Gavan Dutry's effects, for
the benefit of his creditors and his family:—
" This sale was continued yesterday, and if possible
attracted more attention than on the two former days,
particularly as it was announced that the library would
be submitted to public competition. The attendance of
purchasers was most numerous, and clergymen of every
denomination were present. Several persons from Eng-
land and also from the provinces attended. The auc-
tioneer had applications from parties in England and
Scotland for catalogues of the sale. It would be impos-
sible to enumerate the details of this auction; but a few
facts may suffice to show the anxiety manifested by the
public to possess some of the articles set up. A small
card containing the autographs of the State prisoners of
1843 (north intrinsically about 4d.), sold for 14s. 6d.;
APGreoghegan's " Ireland" brought IL 11s.; " Chuzzle-
wit" with Mr. Duffy's autograph, 13s. 6d. There were
about 400 volOies sold, consisting chiefly of minor works
—the original valt;:' of which was small, yet these, in
consequence of contain:ng the autograph of Mr. Duffy,
brought prices at least .'amounting to ten times the
primary cost. The sale was ultimately adjourned to
this day, as it was found impos....ible to get into the
library, and many persons who atten,led to bid for the
state furniture (used in Richmond Brijswell), had to
retire, as the auction of theress valuable ption of the
books occupied the entire da uy
The Limerick Reporter thus describes the state t:.f that
city:—
" Never did our city present more unmistakeably ail
the painful symptoms of extreme destitution, and its
inevitable consequence—extensive demoralization of the
humbler classes, than at present. Night robberies and
petty crimes against property are alarmingly on the
increase."
The Clonmel Chronicle has the following strange para- '
graph about Mr. Maher, Member for Tipperary, and
the military officers in the camp at Turtulla.—
" Mr. Nicholas Maher, MX., arrived at his residence,
Turtulla, on Sunday last, and felt most indignant that
the military officers still continued to make use of his
stable, notwithstanding his Parliamentary motion, and
proceeded at once to eject the quadruped intruders. It
is said, however, that his indignation did not extend to
their owners, for he afterwards hospitably solicited
their company at a special entertainment, which invi-
tation was declined."
The Leinster Express, a Conservative journal, has
the following letter from Gort, county of Galwayo
rt at

ILLNESS OF COLONEL CONOLLY, M.P.
The Ballyshannon Herald contains the following:—
" With sincere sorrow we announce the serious ill-
ness of our justly-esteemed representative, Colonel
Conolly, M.P. for Donegal, who, we learn, is labouring
under a severe attack of jaundice. Sir Philip Cramp-
ton arrived at Cliff, !rum Dublin, on Thursday, and
held a consultation with the .other medical gentlemen.
Hopes arc entertained of his recovery. We learn that,
should the Colonel regain his health—which we trust he
will—ho does not intend resuming his Parliamentary
duties, but that his eldest son, Thomas Conolly, E
will (if elected, of which we have not the least doubt)s
represent the county in his father's stead. m
has already canvassed the electors, and has berenew°elTrileY-
ceived throughout the county. A contest was expected,
but we learn it is abandoned."
FAILURE OF THE MALLOW SAVINGS BANK.
The Cork Examiner contains the following*
" What an 02134111 T announes.A.tut for" The frugal

provident shopkeeper! A ther savings' bank gon
is the Mallow Bank that has smashed. As yet,e
confusion and uncertainty. The liability may be 900/.,
pr it maybe 9,000/. The fear is that the latter sum is v.%
nearer to the mark. Like the double smash in Kerry,
r4eat4ays may bring up the 9,000/. to 20,0001., or more.
We are told that an officer—or the officer—has thought
it necessary to retire for awhile from the scene of his
official labours and beneficiad management. But it is
said—the same was said in Tralee and Killarney—that
there is quite sufficient private property of this officer to
make up any deficiency that may be proved to exist
after the books of the. hanks are oompared with those of
the depositors."

TO THE SECRETARY OF T ILE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Wednesday, the 23d, the Member for
Westminster made his protest against what is denorni-.
nated the Regium Donum. This is a gift of about 17001.,
doled out annually to divers members of the Dissenting
body in sums of three or tour pounds a-piece, of which
the recipients are so ashamed, that one of the first stipu-
lations is that secrecy shall be preserved. The Dis-
senters, the better class of them, have offered to raise
the sum among themselves ; but the thing goes on, mani-
festly us what the sailors call "sowing a sprat to catch a
whale," or in calculation on some overbearing advantages
to arise to the dirduirsert. What these advantages ace,
requires no extraordinary talent to tell. A Government
gilt, distributed in secret, is no despicable instrument of
influence, and a great softener of any uneasy efforts
which might proceed from the same body on a contested
point . _ _

Oil behalf of the grant it was urged, that the reci-
pients had not complained. Did ever anybody hear
that a recipient complained ? It is the non-recipients
and the payers that complain, and are likely to do.
On Thursday was the debate in Committee on the
Diplomatic Relations with Rome Bill, as sent from the
Lords. The object of this Bill, if it has one, is to remove
a prohibition which, whatever it was with our ancestors,
is obsolete and bigotry now, as preventing the entering
into useful relations with the Head of the Roman
Catholic Church, who is also Sovereign of the
Roman States. The opponents of the Bill made
great show of resolution, and threatened loud.
The truth is they knew, that a Bill which had come
from the Lords, and consequently, had only to be ac-
cepted by the Commons, put them in a most dangerous
position; and they waxed desperate accordingly. But
when they tried a division for adjournment, it appeared
that they were only one in three. They oomplained of
the Bill being brought on at a late period of the session,
when their men were gone. But why did they go? If
they are gone partridge-shooting, is that a reason why
a Bill should be withdrawn? If so, there would be a
new tactic discovered for a minority, which would
be to send their men away. They pleaded that their
mon had gone because they were worn out. . But has
nobody else a right to be worn out? It was not from
the Liberal side of the House, that the interminable
speeches, came. They tried to fix on the Government a
charge of having deceived them into the belief that the
Bill would not be brought on. In which they utterly
failed; the nearest they could come to it being to prove
that the Government had said " they hoped to bring it
on." On the whole it remains to be seen what these
threats of :he minority, accompanied as they were with
much unbecoming language to the other side of the
House, are to be worth another time.

The Government, none can say why, consented to cut
out the words'' with the Court of Rome," from the Bill as
agreed to by the Lords, leaving only the phrase "Sovereign
of the Roman States," So that if the Emperor of Aus-
tria occupies the Roman States tomorrow, and declares
himself the Sovereign, a dispute is to be raised whether
this Bill is not thereby made waste paper. I asked a
question on this point, and got for answer, that there
would be no obstacle to communicating with—who do
you think ?—the Emperor of Austria. And a Catholic
Member declared the answer satisfactory. The Catholics
at large are plainly not awake to what is doing for them;
and, as universally happens on such occasions, some of
them are disposed to do all they can to keep things as
they are. From which it only follows, that the Govern•
ment whose object is to diminish a source of heart-
burning and leud, must do its good whether others will
help it or no; and we who are sick of the evil and moan
to mend it, must put our shoulder to the wheel where
we can.

The alteration in the Bill which I have described,
took place without a word of comment at the time. In
this way ball the mischief in the House of Com-
mons is done. Men speak their speeches three
times over about nothing ; and then what really affects
the matter in hand, is done without being looked at.
At a subsequent period, the Member for Limerick (J.
O'Connell) observed upon the change. Ho was told he
could not alter ; to which ho replied that he
could add. The question therefore, was how to
add. He proposed, after the designation of 6, So-
vereign of the Roman States," to add " and Sove-
reign Pontiff." Perhaps it would have been better to have
said "or Sovereign Pontiff;" but where the serious
business is to talk, there is no time to attend to sense.
For my own part, I care not what the Pope is called or
is nut; barring always useless dissatisfaction to any-
body. But the addition of the words " and Sovereign
Pontiff" had a tendency to define the person meant; end
therefore I voted for them. Perhaps friends may have
wondered, what interest in the titles of the Pontiff took
me into a minority consisting of eight souls.
On Friday in the Committee of Ways and Means, it
appeared that Two Millions are to be borrowed because
we can❑ot pay. " I guess" me are somewhere "in the
same lix" us the Pennsylvanians,—paying our debts with
orders for the interest. Will a time ever come, when
the nation wilt hay,: a
.o.uneo to grow rich
_anct cow-

tunable us your successful men at .Bradford do? Look
round nitiong those who under your own eyes have risen
to wealth, and who seen now to know no limit to their
power of having and enjoying; and whatever else
was different, one thing you will find is com-
mon to them all. They grew rich because
they did not spend everything as fast as they could get
it. They did not maintain a constant struggle between
incomings and outgoings;—and above all, they did not
go to the pawnbroker, alter every shilling gut in other
ways had burned a hole in their pocket. it may look
paradoxical, but the secret of their spending is that they
did not spend. Compare this with the conduct of
governments. Suppose Providence in some way sent a
godsend of a million, or a score of millions. The man
would be insane, demented, senseless, who should con-
ceive the possibility of there not being somebody or
something ready to swallow it up. Everybody knows
the swallower would be made for the matter to be swal-
lowed, and any expectation that the public would be in
the smallest degree removed from future distress, or as-
sured of tranquillity on the score of financial difficulties,
would be the vision of a fool. In such circumstances
there is nothing to be done, but wait to see if the man
will be wiser after he has gone through the Gazette.
On Saturday the House sat for a couple of hours, and
received the report on the Diplomatic Relations Bill.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
