TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sta,--At a time when thousands of our countrymeutO
emigrating to the British provinces in America, I deem tt
my duty, as an old settler, to point out the misery in ye
many instances, endured on the passage out, and long
complained of on arrival. In the first place the owner.
and captains, regardless of the comfort of their passenger
crowd their vessels almost to suffocation ; the conseques
is, they rarely ever arrive at their destination withoel,
having most dreadfully suffered from want of water AA
fuel, the latter but of little importance compared to 001
former. Then again, Mr. Editor, with 300 passengeil:
on hoard, and often more, they (unless, by chance, oril
should be amongst the emigrants) rtetet catty a raerlitil
man. Now permit me, through your colUmiis, pt!itt;'
out to the light Honourable the Secretary for the Coloni
an easy remedy, and one which would cause much sasit
faction to the settlers in America, having friends who put
pose emigrating. In the first place, Mr. Editor, 0
agent from home, of respectability, should be appointer
at places the vessels arrive at in New Brunswick (St.
John), anti Canada (Quebec and Montreal), very few gl
to N,,V4 Scotia.. The duty of this agent should be tt
inspect every vessel with passengers, aseertsin the numbs
anti if it exceeds more than allowed according to her ton
nage, to prosecute the Captain. The Captain also to
halite to a penalty of not less than 100/. if he sai
without a surgeon, provided he had on hoard when h
sailed fifty passengers. Captain anti mate to make all
affidavit previous to the sailing from England, that he basal
board tons of water, being sufficient for passenger!
for 60 days. The passage out varies from thirty to fifty;
though occasionady, hut very rarely, it reaches sixty to
seventy ; the passage home is usually less, from the preys'
lence of the westerly winds.

I arn, Mr. Editor, a stronz friend to emigration, but
satisti-d every Englishman quits his country with regret
his passage, therefore, should he made comfortable.
I likewise propose to cover any expence attendant
upon the appointment of agents, that every Captail
should, on arrival (as passengers are frequently taken 00
b Yard after sailing from port), pay to the agent one dollsl
for etch cabin, and half a dollar for each stetrage pas'
s nger, which would cover every expence. This moue,
to be paid to the Government, and the agen•s to have
salary of from 1501. to 2001. per annum. I am sorry VI
trespass at this length, but having resided many years i 0
America, I am, I trust, well able to point out a rernedi
far what I have asserted, and which is the greatest miser)
attendant upon emigration.

I remain, yours, &c.

Extract of a letter from Faenza, Jan. 23 :—" Yesterday 3,500
Austrian troops, with 500 horses, arrived. here. The same numb!tf
have also entered Lugo, and they are io do the duty of police itt
the various villages of Romagna. Cardinal Albani has had
dispute with the superior Austrian officers, but he has been
obliged to humble to them. Since the massacre of Cesene and
Forli the Pontifical troops have not moved, and occupy the
same position as before."
They write from Brussels that all the accounts from Holland
agree in stating that the Dutch are pursuing with great activitl
t•,eir warlike preparations, both by sea and land. Eight nest
frigates are ordered to be put on the stocks. The speeches of
Lord Aberdeen and the Duke of Wellington have given great
confidence to the King of Holland.

We have no arrivals this morning of the least consequence,
not even a ship letter has come to hand.

We have received the journal des Debats of Wednesday, 01
which there is no political news; it is entirely filled with disco,'
sions on the pensions. The pension of the Peers was voted,
with the reduction proposed by the Commission; after which
they went to the Civil Pensions.
The Tunisian Ambassador left Paris on Friday. His equipae
consisted of two carriages, which formerly belonged to Charkhs
We are informed that some severe notes have passed on thr
side of Prussia and Austria, with remonstrances to the Russian
Cabinet; should the latter Power wish to send troops to the
assistance of Holland, the two former Cab;nets would not pernit
Russian troops to pass through Germ ny. We also hear that the
moment the affairs of Holland are ad usted, the throne of Greeo_e,
will be offered to Prince Frederick of Holland, as an indemnitY

LANARK.—This town is at present in a most
unhealthy state. Typhus fever and hopping-cough are
very prevalent, and in the parish several cases have ap'
peered, one of which has proved fatal. Several of the
ladies have distributed among the poor, belts made of flannel
and plaiden.—Every attention is paid to the comfort. of
the necessitous. In addition, it would conduce greatly to
their health if a few cuts. of soap were distributed among
them.—New North Briton.

CHARLES X. and the Royal Family of France
have taken Oman's Hotel, in Charlotte-square, Edinburgh,

It seems pretty generally to obtain belief in the
city, that the question of the Bank charter will conie
under the consideration of Parliament in the course of the
present session ; and we believe also, that an eager desire
exists among all classes of the monied interest that tb►f

lay he the case, and a remedy, as they trust, applied to
the evils connected with the whole London system 0'
banking. All these are more or less to be traced to the
exclusive privileges of the Bank charter. By preventing
the formation of private banks in or near the metropolis
with a greater number of partners than six. some of thost
establishments got into weak hands, and the failures whicl,
ensued during the panic drove the best portion of the
business to the Bank of England. Hence the extent of the
private accommodation which the bankers, through their
knotv'edge of the parties, were able with safety to them'
selve to diffuse among their connexions, has almost who!h
stopped, for in the large scale of the Bank tranasctions all
such discrimination is out of the questing. Almost all the
banking business is now in the hands either of the great coy
poration and two or three discount houses on a large scaler
who chiefly employ money placed at their disposal bf
country connexions. It is a remarkable fact, that Liverpool'
Manchester, Bristol, and some others of the chief town!
of England, enjoy a far better and more steady system
of
banking than the metropolis is able to boast of. The
banking companies lately formed there are all said to he
conducting useful and profitable business, without 14
issues of their notes, confining themselves to the &mils'
two of commercial bills and notes of the Bank of England'
Duting some late periods when specie was extrema'
scarce in London, nothing of the sort occurred in the
places above referred to, but the rate of interest was equable
and moderate, and in all respects in the state most le
vourable to steady commercial operations. London,
from its position and other advantages, is fitted to be the
great banking emporium to the whole of Europe. fe
cramp and destroy these advantages by a monopoly ic/
favour of one corporation, is an evil to the whole countrf,
of the magnitude of which we shall hardly be quite sensible
until it is removed.— Times.
