AN AMERICAN CRITICISM ON JENNY

MINISTER himself on Friday night that he would
adopt the first clause of Mr. WALPOLE'S amendment.
If Mr. litiocu and his associates are utterly
indifferent as to the legitimate dispatch of
public business, and the grave duties of their position
as legislators in the imperial Parliament, they
should—unless they have some pet scheme in being
for getting a Parliament of their own by means of
thoroughly nauseating the English people, as the
ekunk is said by naturalists to effect its unsavoury
escape—have some regard for their own reputa-
tion. They know in their consciences that they
are merely frittering away the time of the country
without the slightest practical use. They are dis-
gusting many even of those who are not favourable
to the Papal Aggression Bill by their chattering ob-
structiveness night after night. Whether such
policy (1) be in pursuance with directions transmitted
from head-quarters it is impossible to determine, see-
ing that the Church of Rome has often sought to effect
her purposes through the instrumentality of agents
possessed of no remarkable gifts of genius. The
" gift of the gab" and an unblushing avowal to
vote white black, or day night, may sometimes be
deemed sufficient to serve the turn. The Learned
Member for Sheffield, to whose support of the cause
of the Opposition the Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY
paid a generous tribute, was sought to be dragged
through the mire towards the close of the discus-
sion by those unscrupulous factionists, but he adminis-
tered a rebuke, too gentle, indeed, for pachydermatous
susceptibilities, " that if they did their utmost to
render the rules by which they were governed in
that House mischievous to the country, they would at
the sane time be doing their utmost to endanger the
great cause of constitutional liberty," and he instanced
the conduct of Mr.O'CONNELL, who stooped not to
act in such a manner when opposing the Coercion
Bill for Ireland in 1833. Alas ! Mr. ROEBUCK, you
should humbly ask pardon for uttering, and fur
leading us to write, the name of DANIEL O'CONNELL
in the same sentence with that of Mr. KhOGII or
Mr. REYNOLDS.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cetton at Liverpool ye&terday were es-
timated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
done taken en speculation. and 300 Brazil for export. The
y. sales comprised shout 5,000 American, 1,100 Pernana
and Maranham at 6d. to 714., 100 Bahia at 7d. to 7id.,
and 500 Surat at 3;4'd. to 4id. per lb. The market
closed heavily', and American sorts were about id. per
lb. lower than on Friday lase—Railway Shares were
greatly depressed at lower prices.
Since the statement appeared in a morning contempo-
rary, as to the new discoveries of guano at the Soychelle
Islands, attention has been awakened to the matter,
and there is au apparent anxiety for information con-
cerning them as well as the other dependencies of Mau-
-13 ritius. We understand that detailed charts and maps
uo by Mr. Charles Pridbarn, published by Messrs. Boone,
as far back as 1848, in his work on the Mauritius, fur-
nish all that is needed as to the islands in question as
well as the other islands thereabouts that contain guano.
The harbours, anchorages, soundings, and supplies ob-
tainable at each island are given for the guidance of the
mercantile and shipping interest.
Notice was taken upon a former occasion of the
hasty and ill-judged proceedings in the Legislatures of
Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in regard to the
proposals of Earl Grey for carrying out a main trunk
line of railway from Halifax to Quebec. The people
of those colonies, we are assured, do not coincide with
their representatives, and it is highly aatiefactory to
find that in Quebec a decided movement in favour of the
undertaking has been made by influential parties,
who assembled in public meeting, and passed
various resolutions, and among others, to the
AU% effect, " that no doubt can be entertained, according to
the unbiassed calculations and estimates of Major
Robinson, the officer superintending the survey of the
different routes for the proposed railroad from Halifax
833%; to Quebec, that this railroad, which will open to all
points of Canada a direct and rapid communication
p with Europe, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and
36 8„ cause an extensive emigration to these provinces, and
4"' become a second St. Lawrence during our long winter,
would ultimately yield a revenue exceeding our present
most sanguine expectations; that, moreover, there
% is no instance on this continent of a railroad of any ex-
tent having failed to produce an income greatly beyond
the interest of the cost of construction. That supposing
the apprehension that this road might continue a few
years without yielding a profit, to be well founded, such
se 22% apprehensions can offer no reasonable grounds to the Le-
h % 4 gislature for refusing to undertake it, inasmuch as works
6
of this,character are not constructed exclusivelywith a view
ti to the production of a revenue, but chiefly for the pur.
pose of opening internal communications, and develop.
ing the resources of a country; thus our canals and other
great public works, which have cost the provinces more
than five million pounds, and barely yield a revenue or
fifty thousand prounds, have, nevertheless, iucreased
,6% ,7 more than trnteld the value of the real estate and the
es% general wealth of Upper Canada. That the movers and
ill seconders of the above resolutions be, with the Mayor, a
committee to draft a petition, founded upon the said reso-
lutions, to be presented to the three branches of the Legis-
lature, praying them to adopt, without delay, such measures
as they may deem calculated to meet the views of the Im-
perial Government, and to place the Provincial Govern-
ment in a condition to enter with all possible diligence
upon this great undertaking; and that his worship the
May or be now respectfully re quested to sign and trans-
mit the same to his Excellency the Governor-General
and the two Homes of Parliament. That this meeting
% express the hope that the other provinces, who are
equally interested with Canada in the realization of this
great enterprise will not render it impossible, by refusing
their concurrence, or by imposing conditions which can-
6IN not be accepted."
In the present temper of the mother country, and with
the growing indisposition not to be taxed for the benefit
dui. of the colonies, we think the latter had better accept a
dire
good offer while it is open.
The following extract, of the state of the New Orleans'
Cotton Markets, dated April 26, is from the Circular of
Messrs. Schreier and Mummy, and published by Mr.
James Irvine, of Liverpool:—
"At the close of our last review, dated 12th instant,
our market had assumed a more satisfactory aspect.
This was of short duration, however, and the market
Di speedily resumed its sluggish appearance; sales to some
24% extent could only be effected at continually easier rates,
and amounted to only 22,800 bales, during the week
ending 18th instant, though the decline from the rates
quoted in our last review was fully I of a cent.
"The advices by Liverpool steamer of sth instant,
reporting a decline of id., were soon followed by accounts
of the steamer of 9th instant, which, though not lower,
were by no means more satisfactory, and little calculated
to impart mole activity or firmness to our great staple.
Sales during this week were on a still more restricted
scale than during the previous one, although factors sub-
mitted to a further decline of to of a cent until
further advices by the steamer of 12th instant, with a
further decline of id. were received. These, however,
[19% may be said to have been anticipated, subsequent sales
,a ye having been made at rates current before their arrival.
14 The business of the week amounts to only 17,800 bales,
'2 N 2 a small figure indeed, considering our stocks, and the
2%%
continued heavy receipts, which now exceed' those of
last year by 135,539 bales; and, we must confess, are
well calculated to engender some doubts as to the correct-
ness of the previous estimates of 2,200000 bales.
" Much attention is naturally paid to prospects for our
next crop, even at this early period of the season; and
as it cannot be denied that the weather, during the last
week, has been most unseasonable, it may be inferred
that it has proved detrimental in some degree. Tele-
' graphic dispatches from various sections of the country
farther north report frosts injurious to the plants. We
quote our present prices as follows:
"Ordinary, Tic. to Bc.; good ordinary, 9ie. to 9ic.;
middling, 10c. to lOic.; good middling, 104 c. to lqc.;
middling fair, 11c. to 1 lic.; fair, 12ic. Sales during
the last fortnight, 40,600 bales. Receipts at this port
since Ist Sept., 867,982 bales, against 732,443 bales last
year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest
dates, 219,992 bales."
The English Funds have been steady, and with rather
more business doing. Consols have realised 971 i for
Trunater, and 97i for Account. The aspect or com-
mercial affairs in prance is reported to have improved
during the last few days, but the Bourse does not per-
manently rally. Ti2eil,oNtinteodw2t e
