MR. H. WASHBOURNE, Publisher, Whole-

mises, No. 48, Sallsbury-squarc, Well adapted either for private or
trade purposes.

of last night's debate, but some old fallacies were re-
peated with so much confidence, that it may be pro-
per to refer to them. It was observed that the
effect of limiting the hours of labour would be
to transfer much capital to the Continent for the esta-
blishment of rival manufactories. Our first answer
to this hi a very short one. Consols closed yesterday
at 98,1. There is, therefore, abundance of capital in
the country to invest in foreign manufactories, if
these manufactories offer a profit of more than
3 per cent. upon the outlay and wages. But
they do not, and cannot. In every country some
manufactories must exist, because of the coarser pro-
ducts of labour the carriage is more than the cost of raw
material and manufacture, and this easily enough accounts
for the success of some foreign speculators, up to a certain
point—but beyond that point they cannot go, though
all the millowners of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and
Cheshire were to migrate, say to Austria, in a body,
and by a favour .of a miracle, like that which trans-
ferred the- Cottage of Loretto, to carry their mills
with them. The home market is the indispensable
nurse of manufactures upon a great scale
nurse as necessary in those maladies of depression,
to which every commercial pursuit is subject, as in
infancy. It is the hoine (including the colonial)
market, which has eallea into existence the manu-
factures of Great Britain, and which by consuming
five-sixths of their produce, supports them—this market
the migrating millowners cannot take with them. It
will remain with us as long as we protect our agricul-
ture, our colonies, and our capital; it will demand
more of our manufactures than all the world beside,
and we need not say that they who manufacture the
most, and the most steadily, will in the end always
produce the best and the cheapest commodity. The
country which has the greatest amount of capital and
the best markets, will always maintain the ascendancy.]
in manufactures ; and the only effect of the contest of
sueli a country with others will be merely a competition
which shall make its labourers most miserable.

in days of yore, was accounted of importance, nothing less than a
GOLD MINE,
r•Extract from a description of England and Wales in 1760 :—" It
ought not to be omit; ed, that at Taynton, near Newent, on the
northern borders of this forest, a Gold Mine was discovered about
the year 1700, of which a lease was granted tosome refiners, who ex-
tracted some geld from the ore, but. had not spirit to fellow it up."
Again, in England's Gazetteer, printed in 1790, is the following
Taynton, Gloucestershire, four miles S. E. from Newent, six from
Mitchel-Dean, and seven W. from Gloucester. In 1700, there was an
ORE found here, from which the refiners extracted gold," but they
also lacked enterprise.
Mining and refining is now a much more simple and less expensive

Cheltenham, the most fashionable watering place in England, is
only a short ride, and is a capital market, as well as Gloucester,
for all the pioduce. Its exemption from tithe, to a great extent, is
an important feature.

"The Rattlesnake sailed on December 10, with 200 in-
valids from the fleet, amongst whom are Lieut. Daily, from
the Pelican; Lieut. Priest, It.M., Minden; and Mr. Rogers,
Assistant-Surgeon, Minden.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-
tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par-
ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums withont ex-
pense or ferfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest sr necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that
the Aociety's great success and growing prosperity enabled the Di-
rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy
on the profit scale a bonus averaging fifty-five per cent. on the
amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable
scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction if future
premiums.

" I have just learnt that trade to the north is exceedingly
brisk, and that Wosang, in the Yang-tse-kiang, is full of
money—dollars and sy-cee—waiting for English goods, which
are not to be had in sufficient quantities to meet the demand.
" We had a fine view of the eclipse on the 22d of Decem-
ber; it commenced about one o'clock, and the moon passed
right over the sun, like passing one plate over another; it
was seen better here than in any other place. I will give you
the Chinese opinions of the eclipse : they say that the large
dragon swallows the sun, and then disgorges it again—a
pretty strange Conceit. Several of the Chinamen told me
this, but the better educated men do not believe it ; still it is
very difficult to make them understand it. They are, in=
deed, a strange people.
" Lord Saltoun, the commander of the forces, went in the

successor is daily expected here in the Castor.
