art and science, one class, and a class too that claims the
right of dictating to all others, should be described
by one of their own body as little better, in one
respect, than barbarians. Lord HowicK, last night,
denounced the system of agriculture in the greater
part of England as " barbarous and neglected;" prac-
tical men cheered his Lordship, and the accused
tried to keep one another in countenance by shouts of
laughter. But facts are not to be disproved
in this manner. All who have attended care-
fully to the different systems adopted in the
northern and southern parts of this island, can
come to no other conclusion than that they are as differ-
ent as light is from darkness, and that till a material
change takes place, the land in the south must remain
but half cultivated, the farmers be little better
than serfs, and the landlords continue to cry out for pro-
tection from the Legislature. What has made the com-
paratively barren land of Scotland valuable but the ad-
mirable system of improvement, which has been entirely
created and fostered, by granting the tenant a large in-
terest in the profits, without the fear of being disturbed,
by the caprice or cupidity of the proprietor ? So con
vinced were intelligent landowners in the north of the
vast benefit they derived from the system that it was no
uncommon practice to grant leases for thirty-eight, some-
times fifty-seven years, and not unfrequently for three live:.
when a heavy outlay was required to bring the land
into cultivation. And what was the result ? The land
in some ten or fifteen years was brought into a state of
high cultivation, roads were made, plantations sprung up
on the inferior soil, and whole districts that were little better
than wastes or commons, were converted into arable farms
yielding a rental teti times greater than at the com-
mencement of the lease. With such examples before
them, and with such certain advantages, the English
landlord who adheres to the old exploded system
is justly denounced as little better than a barbarian.
He cries out for protection solely because le
is idle or sluggish, and allows others to outstrip him.
The late election was a noble exemplification of the fact.
While in England the ignorant tenants joined in the
selfish shout of their masters for monopoly, and
returned monopolists for nearly the whole of the
counties, in Scotland the cry was " Leave us alone,
leave us to our own exertions, untrammelled by Acts
of Parliament," and suited the deed to the word by re-
turning Ilepealers for several of the most agricultural
counties. England must come at last to this system.
To favour the ignorant prejudices of a particular class,
neither Sir RonEwr PEEL, nor any Minister, can continue
long-restrictive laws, which are found alike injurious to
manufacturers and landlords.

The Paris papers received this morning are destitute
of other news than is supplied by the Overland Mail.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY Eing.
We have had a very dull market for the Eng'ishven Stocks
to-day, although the accounts from India, it is hoped, will
eventually prove to be less disastrous than has been repre-
sented in some of the published ads ices. It is evident that
were full credence to be attached to them, the fall of prices
would have more likely been lor 2 than to the
per Cent. Con-
sols for immediate transfer were flat, at 69 to 89i, and for
the account at 89* to 891, Exchequer Bills were rather
dull at 30s. to 325. prem.; and India Bonds at 10s. prem. ;
.. New Thre-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 98a to 4.
In the Foreign market business was not active, but there
was more doing in the Mexican bonds. Prices were without
any very material alteration. Spanish Active Bonds were at
24% to ;New Three per Cents. Portuguese, at 331 ; and
the Old Five per Cents. at 59. Colombian bonds were at 24i
to 24a ; Mexican at a rally to 37i and 38i ; and Peruvian at
16. Dutch Five per Cents, were worth 102:4 to 102ic.
The Rtilway Shares rallied a little to-day. Brighton ob-
tained 141, Blackwell 13-i, Midland Counties 19i, Northern
and Eastern 4i, North Midland 30, the New si, the Bir-
mingham and Gloucester 43, the Eastern Counties 13i, and
the Edinburgh and Glasgow 7 discount, being for the latter a
slight decline. London and Birmingham were 84fr to 851,
the Thirds 261, the North Midland Thirds 3/4, the Liverpool
and Manch•ster 88, the Great Western 23i, and the South
Western 19.1 premium, London and Westminster Bank
Shares were 2i premium.

(Piorn The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. MARCH 9.—There is no
alteration to notice in the Market. We continue very flat,
and though prices cannot be quoted lower, this Market is in
favour of the buyer, from the large quantity brought forward
for his choice. The sales to day are 4,000 bales, including
800 American and 100 Madras for export. The business con-
sists of 50C Surats, 3i to 4i ; 60 Bahia 64 to 6i ; 100 Alaranham
6 to 64 ; 700 Egyptian 7h to 7i ; and the remainder American
44 to 7.

LIVERPOOL. SHARE MARKET.—The Market closes dull and
heavy again to-day, with a tendency to a decline in prices;
London and Birmingham Quarter Shares 54 ; Eastern
Counties 9i; Midland Counties Twenty-five Pound Shares
19 ; Great Western Half Shares 61 3-10 ; Grand Junction
180 ditto Half Shares, 90* ; ditto Quarter Shares 2434 ;
London and Croydon 12k.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 9.—The mar-
ket is very quiet, and stock is mere freely offered. Manchester
and Birminghams, 28 28/ ; London and South Western
58 59 ; North Midland, 69 70 ; Manchester Assurance, 9%.
The accounts from New York reach to the 20th ult. fhe
Money Market was without any material change. The banks
discount sparingly, and appear determined to continue a pru-
dent and cautious policy. Sterling Exchange continued firm
and uudoub•ed bills were freely taken. The transactions were
howeverlight on London. The States ranged from 71 to 8i;
and on Paris, from sf. 284 to sf. 27i. Domestic exchanges on
most points were dull ; on one or two places, particularly
Philadelphia, an improvement had taken place, more confidence
being felt in the stability of the remaining banks. The fluc-
tuations in stock had not been to any great extent, and an im-
provement had generally taken place, especially in State
Stock. The quotation for New York Five per Cents. was
76i ; Indiana, Five per Cents. 19 to 19i ; Illinois, Sixes,
19 to 19.14.
The accounts from New Orleans, via New York, state that
several moderate, and one large failure had taken place, and it
is represented that money was excessively scarce.
Cape of Good Hope Papers to the 12th of January have been
received this morning; they contain no news of importance.
The accounts from Mauritius, via the Cape of Good Hope,
reach to the 2d of December. The rate of discount on commer-
cial bills ranged between 6 and 9 per cent. per annum. The
total quantity of sugar exported for the eleven months ending
November was 173,499 bags, 612 casks, 64 cases, weighing
nett 23,651,6521b5., against 190,666 bags, weighing nett,
25,502,2981b5., exported to 30th November, 1840.
The adviees from Sydney, via the Overland Mail, are of un-
favourable nature with respect to trade, which is represented to
be in a most distressing state, and that there was nearly a total
cessation of business. The accounts from all the towns in the
interior are of a most appalling description, nor was any im-
provement anticipated. Importations were still going en, espe.
cially of spirits and wine, the shipper imagining that the ex-
treme low prices of these articles will enable consignees to com-
pete with old shipments not disposed of, which would not be
realised, as these articles were totally unsaleable, and the stork
too large for any speculators to enter the market. The impor-
tation of spirits by the three last vessels from London amounted
to 40,000 gallons of all kinds, and several large shipments were
still to arrive. No alteration had taken place in Wheat and
Flour.

The English Securities opened flat, with but little business
doing in them. Consols are 89h Money, and 891 for the
Account ; Exchequer Bills, 311. 3d.
The Foreign Securities are also flat, with a tendency down-
ward ; Spanish Active Stock is 241 to 241; Passive, . 51 to
51 ; Deferred, 121 to 121; Portuguese Five per Cents. 33}
to 34; Ditto Threes, 191 to 201; Mexican Bonds, 371 to 38;
Columbian, 241 to 241.
A very limited amount of business has been transacted in the
English Funds this morning; the Markets continue heavy. Consols
for Money, 89, and Account 891 ; Exchequer Bills 30 32 prem.,
In the Foreign. Market the operations have also been limited,
and prices exhibit no alteration. Mexican Stock is 3734 38;
Columbian 241/2 ; Spanish Active Stock, 241; Deferred,
121 ; Dutch Five per Cents, 102 i.
In the Share Market London and Brighton have been done
at 3534 ; London and Birmingham 174% ; Liverpool and
Manchester 188 ; Midland Counties, 791.
Consols, 891 891 ; Colombian, 241 241 ; Mexican, 371 38 Spanish, 245 24i. __ _

On March 10, 1832, Mutio Clementi, the Celebrated musician,
died, aged 80. So early as his ninth year Clementi passed an exa.
ruination as an organist, and before he was twelve he had written a
mass for four voices, which established his fame.
At a meeting of the creditors of the Newton Bank, held at
Exeter a few day• since, it was stated that Mr. Baker, one of the
partners, went into the concern with 17,0001., and had not now a
shilling.

(From the World of Fashion, Monthly Magazine.)
CARRIAGE HATS AND BONNETS are being generally
niadt in velours epingle, and plain velvet; they are
mostly ornamented *ith drooping feathers, either
round or spiralees ; others have fldlttlis of the most
natural appearance. Some of them are worn with no
other trimming than a voile d'Angleterre. For in-
stance; a capote in sky blue velvet has a charm-
ing effect ; the voile d'Angleterre being plaited, and
totally enveloping the capote, and folds being gathered
on the left side, and passing through a nceud of ribbon
composed of velours epingle of the same colour, shaded
with white. Capotes are being made in velours des
Indes, of a new and graceful form, trimmed with
bouquets of feathers.
BERTHES OF PELERINES are now all the fashion ; it
simply a berthe which opens in the front, but is
sufficiently deep to almost shade the ceinture -
CAPS are now being mostly made in lace ; those in
point lace are considered most recherche, trimmed
with nceuds of grenat velvet; those in blonde are
generally made in the following style : the cap
is composed of a double barbe off' blonde, the
two ends being reunited on the left side by an
agrafe of drooping roses ; the laced edge of the blonde
falling over the front, throws a becoming shade over
the forehead.

A funeral took place at Hempstead last week, at which a baker's
Cart was used instead of a hearse !
RUMOURS 01' THE DAT.
It is generally rumoured at the cubs, that the earthquake has
consented to delay its approach until a certain Noble and Gallant
Marquis pays his tailor's bill ! Both extraordinary events are ex-
pected to take place on the same day.
Mr. Benjamin D'lsraeli.is, we learn, nic.named at the Clubs, the
" Hypnologist" of the House of Commons.

HEAD DRESSES.—The greatest novelty arc those
pretty little turbans in velvet : the top of the turban
being perfectly flat and plain, ornamented with
Arabian acorns. The arched bandeaus are still fa-
vourites with those whose complexions are somewhat
dark ; then there is the Arabian head dress, composed
of cherry coloured rouleaus in velvet, and gold cords,
or with the barbes d'Alencon.
WALKING DRESSES.—The most fashionable style
adopted for out-door costume are les robes redingotes,
made in pearl grey satin, faced with velours epingle,
edged with a plain face, and down the centre of the
skirt are placed bows en choux. A double pelerine or
cape is always worn with this style of peliSse, moderately
high, bordered with velvet and lace; the corsage plain,
and waist rounded, no band being worn ; the sleeves
plain, having facings of velvet, edged with lace.
EVENING AND BALL DRESSES.—The form of eve-
ning costumes differ more in the skirts than in
the style of the corsage, the latter being gene-
rally made a pointes, the top of the body ra-
ther high, plaided, or a schall ; sleeves very short
and simple, and solely ornamented with the same
kind of trimming which decorates the skirt. We
select the following, as being the prettiest, and in-
tended to grace the form of the beautiful Duchess
of B. ; the material of one of the dresses being
in white moire, the jupe open, with the
facings of a pretty colour, worn with a satin
skirt underneath, the whole ornamented with a
silver ribbon about three fingers wide Another
dress was composed of crepe crepee, of a:delicate sky
blue ; the skirt a deu jupes ; a draped body, and very
small short sleeves, the two jupes being caught up
with two agrafes, composed of tips of marabouts, at-
tacved upon a bow of brilliants.
THE KAZAWIKA.—This is a charming fantasie,
made in velvet, the body high, and showing the figure
to great advantage ; brandebourgs and cordelieres in
chenille ; the sleeves large a la reine, somewhat in the
Amazonian style of the regence ;. andi underneath this
wrap is worn a dress of
Bros de Tours, with rows of
gympe trimming, a fine dargent.
CoLoußs.—The most fashionable colours are mar-
-1 ron, Oreille d'Ours, greens of different shades, blue
marine, and torturelle. The darker colmirs being
still worn.
