are securities at all times convertible into
cash ; and if at any time the Bank caa make a
more profitable investment of its.capital, it will he
withdrawn for that purpose. It is also maintained
that Government commits an injury upon public
credit by issuing Exchequer Bills so low as to cause
them to be sold at a discount. We do not exactly
see the ground on which this can prove injurious
to the public. It is an advantage to Government
to borrow money at low interest, and this ap-
pears rather to augment than diminish the facility
afford private individuals of getting their bills
discounted at the bank. If Government were
to outbid the private merchant—were to tempt
the bank with a higher rate of interest, then,
indeed, some ground of complaint might
exist. But really we cannot see why the
public should exclaim, because a system is
adopted which prevents Government from
clashing with private individuals in applying for
discounts. Government is no doubt the Bank's
best customer, buL nothing more, and as such it
may be able to procure an advance of money on
its bills on more favourable terms than a less
responsible applicant. Bat this is a mere pri-
vate transaction between Government and the
Bank, by which the public cannot be a loser. If

there should be an advance made under the
usual rate of interest, Exchequer Bills will fall
to a discount, and a loss will be incurred by the
Proprietors of Bank Stock : but as long as the
Bank is liable to be called upon to pay its notes
in specie, we cannot understand how its connec-
tion with Government can affect the currency of
the country, or prove in any other way detri-
mental to the interests of the public.

N. PUBLIC LEDGER.)

Last night we received the Austrian Observer,
to the 7th, and the Allgemeine Zeitung to the
12th. In neither are there any new accounts
from either Russia or Turkey ; and in the
Austrian Observer there is not a single article of
political news worth extracting. It appears from
the Allgemeine Zeitung, that an important change
is meditated in the Prussian Church, which has
hitherto conformed to the Presbyterian forms. A
plan for substituting the Episcopalian System is said
'to be on the to pis ; and the reason of the in-
tended innovation is, the anarchy which, it is
said, universally prevails—every Clergyman act-
ing according to his own discretion. The real
cause, however, is a desire to establish greater
harmony between Church and State ; the Episco-
palian System being more in unison with Mo-
narchical Institutions than the Presbyterian.—
Yet no inconvenience had arisen in former reigns
from the religion as by law established ;
but the predecessors of the present Monarch,
at least for the last hundred years, troubled
themselves very little about the religious feel-
ings of their subjects ; and this indifference, it
must be allowed, has produced its proper fruits ;
and if there be less fanaticism in the Protestant
part of Prussia, there is also mere scepticism than
perhaps in any other country in Europe. It
would seem, from one passage in the article, that
in the dissuasions on this important subject, a
proposal had been made to adopt the rites of the
[tomis►h Church ; but the idea, if ever serious-
ly entertained, has been abandoned ; and the
arguments upon which the rejection is founded
are rather strong, viz. that the Catholic Clergy,
whatever precautions may be taken to secure
their undivided allegiance to the Head of the
State, still recognise an external sovereignty.—
Whatever truth there may be in this remark,
and we cannot deny there is some, yet we have
strong doubts as to the propriety of introducing
religious innovations, particularly at a time like
the present.

During lasi week the supply of Grain was tolerablY good,
and the quantity of Flour was again large ; there is but little
fresh up this morning. The Wheat trade is rather brisker for
the finest qualities, which being scarce, obtain an advance of
is. to 2s. per quarter ; other sorts remain as last quoted. Bar.
ley is dull of sale, but we do not note any reduction in price.
Beans and Pease sell heavily at last quotations. Oats have
a toleratily brisk sale at the prices of this day seiiiiight. There
is no alteration in the Flour trade.

THE KING.

WINDsou, FEB. 19.—His MAJESTY this morning, accom-
panied by -his suite, attended Divine Service at the New Private
Chapel, which was performed by his domestic Chaplain, the
Rev. Dr. Sumner. His Majesty was prevented taking his air-
ing on Friday and yesterday, the weather being so very un-
favourable. Her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta heard
Divine Service performed at her residence, Froginure Lodge.

THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE'S MISSION TO ST.

PETERSBURGH.

It is is very currently reiiortCil that ti; King has selected the
Duke of Devonshire to represent him at the Coronation of the
F:mperor Nicholas at the Court of Russia. During a recent
period, when tho Grand Duke Nicholas resided in London,
this Prince was the intimate of Devonshire House, where the
entertainments given on the occasion wore on a scale of the
greatest magnificence and splendour. This visit cemented a
warm friendship between the Emperor and the Duke, which
originated whilst his Grace was in St. Petershurgh. His Ma..
jefity has shewn his usual discrimination in appointing the Duke
of Devonshire to this distinguished honour. His Grace will
be attended by the flower of the English Nobility, without any
respect to party. The retinue, in point of magniticence, extent,
taste and splendour, will, it is said, very far exceed the recent
display at Paris, and the Coronation at Rheims.

Admiral Packenham supports Mr. Tuite, upon the same principle.

for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James
White, in the parish. of St. Luke's, and stealing
therefrom 14s. 6d. in money, a needle-case, and some
small articles. By the evidence it appeared that the
prisoners had broken into the before-mentioned house
through the window; the wife of the prosecutor swore
to the needle-case, which was found on the prisoner
Pray. The prisoners said they were trying to get
into their lodging, which was in that house ; they
called several witnesses to character, and one to prove
that the the needle-case was the property of Pray de-
ceased mother. This witness swore, that she.took it
out of the poCket of the,mother when she was a corpse,

CORONER'S .INQUEST.

On Friday, an inquisition was taken, at the Middlea's Hospi-
tal, on a young female under twenty years of age.
Mrs. Letitia Knight deposed, that the deceased was her: ser-
vant. She had ascertained that she had robbed her. She had
suspected her for some time, but did not ascertain the fact .until
within a few days back, when upon going up stairs, and looking
into the drawers in the deceased's bed-room, she found some
aprons, made from a sheet which was her property, and which
she knew from its being a very peculiar sort of cloth. On Mon-
day niorning last the deceased was in the parlour. The deceased
had been taken into my service under circumstances of distress,
and I felt hart at her ingratitude in destroying my property. I
asked her how she came by the eight aprons that I had seen in the
drawers. " Pray tell me Elisabeth, how you came by them ?"
She answered, " then you will not know," or " I shall not tell
Yon." I then told her that I had been iaiorined that she had said
she had them given her by a lady, in whose service ehe had formerly

It will be rememberedohat on a former occa•

the eagerness to get into so good a thing, as it vas
thought by the money changers, brought together a
croud more anxious and unruly,than is usually seen
even at the door of the one shilling gallery in the
evening of a Lord Mayor's day'. To prevent a
recurrence of this scandal, so degrading to tilt

rNEw TIMES.]

We insert, in another part of our Paper, a
report of the meeting of the Merchant Seamens'
Bible Society. The meeting was very interesting,
chiefly from the testimony to the advantiges
arising from the labours of the Society, Larne
by the Noble Chairman, Lord Exmouth, and
more especially by Captain Parry, who feel-
ingly experienced them, during the long dark
winters that he spent among the ices of the
Nortit There are elements in the character
of tile British seaman that render him, at once,
the object of love and terror. In the hour of
battle and of storm, he exhibits, us Dibdin has'
prettily observed, the courage anti bravery of the
lion ; and, in peace, and. in the calm, the simpli-
city and playfulness of the lamb. He mingles
the attributes of a hero and of a little child.--
What 'a pity that a character so noble and Sn
amiable should ever he degraded by rude riot and
debauchery ! Yet how many - excuses may
poor Jack plead, which. cannot 'be pleaded
by those who live on land.— Instead of
wondering that- the severity of privation
which lie suffers in ,a long voyage should be
exchanged, on revisiting the green earth, for over-
indulgence, we should rather wonder that his ex-
cesses bear so small a proportion to his former oh-
.stittence.. Without religion, without a looking for.
ward to purer end better state of being, man is a
poor miserable being:' But man, surrounded by
the blandishments of society, who has the
felicities (for they are so,` even when un.
sanctified) of friends and sacred home, is in
a very different state with respect to com-
fort from the traveller on the lonely deep.--.-.
Hence religion; whose mine, is ever enchanced by
the absence of worldly pleasures, has peculiar
charms to the sailor. That the knowledge of the
will of God must make men better, even accord-
ing to mens' wisdom, seems to Us indisputable ;
and could we for a moment entertain a doubt of
it, the doubt would be removed by what Capt.
if left to his choice, he would
Parry stated, that,
never take with him a seaman vthia had not -a
sense of religion.

A MOUSE-TO AP was lately set by a tradesman
in Brighton, which he did not look at till some
time afterwards, when be found in it, three dead
mice, two of them had been nearly eaten up by
the one who apparently went in: last, which was
also dead, and stood in a position as if it had
died whilst endeavouring to devour one of the
others.

Committee-room, June 19.

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT FREEMEN
OF THE CITY OF WORCESTER.

GENTLEMEN,
IN retiring from the present Contest, it will be ae-
knowledged by all parties that I have acted consistently end
honourably.
I have redeemed the pledge which I originally gave you, that—
as long as those friends on whose judgment I could rely, should
give me holm% of success, I would continue the contest; and
I unhesitatingly withdrew my pretensions the moment those
friends announced to me their sincere belief that my hopes
were diminished. The state of the Poll, which I had abun-
dant means of keeping open for many days longer, will, I
trust, produce the universal conviction that nly• friends were
justified in the hopes that they had cherished of conferring upor
me the distinguished honour of representing them in Parliament,
as it has already extorted from my worthy competitors the Sc.
knowledgment, that had I come forward earlier, my success would
have been certain. To those kind Friends who have sacrificed
their own domestic comforts for the purpose of serving me, I beg
leave to express my most grateful thanks, assuring them, that
whenever a vacancy shall occur in the Representation of this City
in Parliament, I shall, if my health permit, again offer myself as
a Candidate for their favours. Till then, I respectfully take my
leave ; and, with sincere good wishes for the welfare and pros-
perity of your ancient and Loyal City,
I beg leave to subscribe myself, Gentlemen,
Your faithful and devoted humble servant,
