SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—The intelligence conveyed in
the letter of our Berlin Correspondent is truly of
a most important character. Representatives
from the different provinces of Prussia have as-
sembled within her capital, called by the King
to deliberate in Council on the collective interests
of the nation. It was remarked by maeldavel,
that while in his time the Italians, Spaniards,
and French were little regulated in their con-
duct by correct moral principles; the Germans,
on the oth,r hand, were remarkable fir their
honesty. And he cites, as one proof of their
singular honesty, the fact, that the different Im-
perial towns provided fir their expenses by a tax
on property, each citizen being allowed the pri-
vilege of secret assessment and payment, and
that the sum raised always corresponded with
the estimate. The Germans are still distin-
guished for their honesty; and though there is
a great deal of over-government in all the
States, and many things are done for the
people which they ought to be allowed to do for
themselves, yet almost all intelligent foreigners,
who have resided any lime in Germany, are
agreed in opinion that the different rulers are,
for the most part, well-intentioned, and that the
people do practically eejoy most of the advan-
tages of the socitil union. The Government of
Prussia has always .been considered absolute;
but the Government -has always been considered
not only enlightened, but mild. No man in
Prussia entertains the slightest apprehension,
that so long as his conduct is irreproachable his
person and property are not perfectly secure.
The most perfect confidence is reposed in the ad-
ministration of justice. In many, many respects,
England might take a lesson from Prussia. One
great cause of the content in Prussia is, that no
class is vested with the power of trampling on
other classes. There is not one law for the
rich and another for the poor. Still such a
government is defective. With the best inten-
tions, its measures may not be the best calculated
to promote the prosperity of the people. It is
proper that those who are to be affected by laws
and regulations,' should have a voice with re-
spect to them. The first step towards remedy-
her this defect, is taken in the assembling of
a national council at Berlin. The mode ofchoos-
ino• the representatives, and the extent of powers

committed to them, cannot be gathered from the
letter of cur Correspondent. The objects, how-
ever, on which they are called to deliberate are
of the very first importance—the reduction of
taxes, the establishment of a general system of
railroads, and the regulation of river communi-
cations. The late King of Prussia promised a
representative constitution to his subjects. With-
out attempting to defend the non-fulfilment of
the promise, we may observe that, in a country
like Prussia, formed of provinces connected only
by being under one head, and inhabited by diffe-
rent races of men, with powerful neighbours on
every side, it was not unnatural that the King
should dread the taking a step which he could
not retrace, whatever the consequences. Time
may have done much to cement the Prussian Mo-
narchy, and to dispel the causes of apprehension
which weighed with the former King. Be this as
it may, the present Sovereign has by this import-
ant step given a proof of the confidence which

he reposes in his people. We trust the experi-
ment will be attended with the success which it
so eminently deserves—and that Sovereign and
people will be united more closely by a measure
which ca❑ have originated only in an honest
wish to contribute to the welfire of the nation.
There is in the letter of our Correspondent an
allusion to the indifferent success with which
constitutional experiments have been made in
France. The observation would have been ap-
propriate after the trial of the Prussian experi-
ment. It is certainly true, however, that our
French neighbours seem to move very awkwardly
in constitutional harness. What Mr. Dickens
says of the Americans, may, with far more truth,
be applied to the French—they repose no trust
in one another. The genius of restlessness seems
to have possession of them. It was observed of
them by a great historian of a country which
suffered much from their interference, namely,
Switzerland, that the French could neither be

happy themselves, nor allow any other people to
be happy. To other nations France is a subject
of painful interest—of apprehension. This will
be attended with one good cifect : it will force
the Germans to have constantly present to their
minds the necessity of being unitedamong
themselves.

TINIES.—It is, of course, with the greatest
difficulty that any one not practically versed in
the politics of Canada can pronounce an opinion
upon the late important step of Sir Charles
Bagot, in calling to his councils men so notorious
for past indisposition to the British Government
as those who have lately accepted office with
such circumstances' of triumph. One thing alone
is certain—that it is the commencement of a new
era in colonial government. It is a great expe-
riment, perhaps forced upon Sir Charles Bagot
by the policy of his predecessors, but certainly
of a most novel character, and the issue of which
can only be looked to with the most extreme
anxiety and diffidence. We have already ob-
served upon the desirableness ) t admitting the
1t Frenchreh
pin opulation
government
of L
of owe. emu-4a to a larger
That colony than has
been hitherto conceded them. Many circum-
stances recommend such a course. Their own
simple and honest character—their mere numeri-
cal importance—their indisposition to the alliance
of our en eroacl ling and untrustworthy neighbours
of the United States—all these circumstances
point them out as fit recipients of a share, and
a substantial one, of political power and in-
fluence. This, the late Act of Union of 1840,
unpopular as it at first was with them, has at
once given them. That Act conferred on a body
of people not, we believe, at heart indisposed to
the British protection, but still fermenting from
the effects of late popular excitement, a prepon-
derance in the popular assembly of Canada. Not
only this, but the theory of a responsible go-
vernment was established. The result may prove
auspicious; we are willing to hope the best. But
it is a somewhat ominous consequence of this new
order of things that the Governor is compelled
to call to his councils, on their own terms, men
who have lately been proscribed, or in prison;
and that the choice of individuals is justified
upon the ground that the leaders of the French
party, now predominant, were all in the same
scrape, and that if any influential Frenchman at.
all is now to aid in the Government of Canada, it
must necessarily be one of those who were trai-
tors or suspected a few years back. The outset
is nnfortunate ; not, we believe, from the fault of
Sir Charles Bagot or the present Government,
but from the indiscretion of those who have pre-
cipitated this revolution, who have left to their

successors no choice between so perilous a risk as

the present, and the still more daring alterna-
tive of suspending the fresh Canadian constitution,
and supporting that suspension by the bayonets of
the British soldiery, and the physical energy of
a fraction of the inhabitants. We are told,
that by these concessions the affections of the
French arc for ever bound to the British Govern-

meta, and that our troops may be withdrawn
from Canada with no longer delay than is neces-
sary to find room for them in England. Such is
usually the language of those who are gaining
their point. This momentary popularity may
indeed be the attendant upon a bold and well-
timed policy, but it may be the equally natural
result of a weak and imprudent concession.
Which it is, the future must decide. Two re-
marks only we would venture before concluding.
One is this—that the present arrangements offer
little prospect of permanence. Between the
English ultra-Reformers .and. the French colo-
nists there is no real community of interest or
theirpi; u itciPinee.nteTrip' eri
singthough industrious patriarchal habits of the latter,
charac-
ters, their prejudices, simplicity, and native re-
finement of feeling:, render them no natural allies
onfaltchiteig English
active!prhing'independent,
Radicalmoney-
malting ; and any con-
tinued union between
two such parties,
however possible in the loose warfare of
opposition, can neither be hoped nor feared
from them when e„gaged in the prac-
tical details of legislation and administra-
tion. The present coalition is a mere transitic‘u
state; we shall have another shuffling of the
cards before we can tell what is to turn up for
Canada. Secondly, if we did not look fbrward to
this second breaking up of rarties, our expecta-
tions would be more glooniy than th are. Al-
ready from within the Governor's Cabinet we
hear sentiments broached of no favourable nature
to British supremacY—hitiinations, if we rightly

understand them, of doubt whether the Act of
the Imperial Legislature is conclusively binding
on the colonies without the additional sanction of
the colonial ratification. If this is to be the tune
of the coalition, speedy be its dissolution ; fur
such a spirit administering the affairs of the
colony on the principle now apparently con-
ceded of " responsible," that is, in fact, inde-
pendent, local government, would be indeed a
dangerous enemy to the Home authority; as the
shrewd Yankee press has found out, telling us,
with some admixture of contempt, that however
generous, however worthy of a new era in go-
vernment, that principle may be, it is palpably
at variance with the laws of colonial empire, and
must disable us from holding that empire to-
gether one year after it has ceased to be sup-
ported by the most palpable and present coinci-
dence of interests.
HBRALD.—We have never a moment doubt-

ed, indeed we have incessantly proclaimed, tha,
the soil of these islands, cultivated with all the
enterprise which capital, knowledge, and neces-
sity are sure to beget, was capable of maintain-
ing a much larger population than the present.
At the great national agricultural meeting held
during the summer at Bristol, every practical,
every scientific authority gave assurance of this
capability—not as a result to be attained by
boundless expenditure, and as a world's wonder
only, but by the profitable investment of capital,
by careful and judicious outlay, and as an every-
day working result. These assertions, doubtless,
sounded strangely and incredibly on the ears of
the backward agriculture of many southern Eng- •
lish counties; but their truthfulness and accuracy •
were manifest to all acquainted with agriculture
in the Lothians of Scotland, or on the banks of

the Tweed; and yet how much is there yet
that remains undone even in those well-
farmed districts, though tile-draining, sub-
soil ploughing, and new manures are still
increasing their production. Now there is not
an English county which might not have its
Lothians, as there is not one but which will, if
landlords and tenants be wise and true to them-
selves, have its Lothians. The Scotch and north
of England farmers, it is notorious, dire far less
about Corn-law protection than do their brethren
in the south, because their enterprise and spirit
have actually made them far more independent
thereof; and yet it is a well-known fact that
Northumberland farmers have to struggle
against lower prices and inferior quality of grain.
We are not, in stating these facts, advocating
dittiinished protection to native agriculture;
but we do assert that the smaller the pro-
tection the farmers can cultivate with the
better for themselves and the country; that
energy is worth more to them than high
duties ; and equalisation of public burdens is the
justest demand they have on the Legislature.
We claim for these views identity with the opi-
nions of the most intelligent landlords and the
most successful tenants; and amongst all the
recent proceedings of agricultural meetings, we
have noticed none more satisfactory than those
of two which have been lately holden at Saffron
Walden and Hereford. The tone of the speeches
at either was just what it ought to be in times
like the present; there was no expression of de-
spair uttered, every sentence was full of mutual
encouragement or confidence. The puerilites of
the Morning Post were contemptuously noticed
as specimens of the ignorance of men who write
about what they do not understand; and we so-
licit attention to the speeches of Lords Bray-
brooke and Carnarvon, and Sir John Tyrell, at
Saffron Walden, and of Mr. Barneby and Sir
Robert Price at Hereford, as completely con-
firmatory of the opinions we have expressed.

GLOBE.—The inquest on Charles Beale, who
died soon after leaving the Northleach House of
Correction, has been brought to a close, and the
verdict affirms that the deceased died of a dis-
ease of the lungs, brought on and aggravated by
the treatment he received whilst a prisoner. Such
a decision as this must be regarded as strongly
condemnatory of the sort of discipline to which
the inmates of the Northleach prison are sub-
jected. But lest the censure of the Jury should
be thought to apply to the system alone, they
express " their unanimous disapprobation of the
conduct of the Governor Townshend, the surgeon
Bedwell, and the under-turnkey, Harding." It
has become a question with some of our Contem-
poraries whether a verdict onght not to have
been returned, not only censuring the parties by
whose fault the death of Beale was occasioned,
but declaring them to be guilty of a grave
offence, of which the law takes cognisance. Our
own opinion is that the verdict goes far enough.
It leaves the question of criminality still open;
and, if the facts are strong enough to bring any
persons within the grasp of justice, there is
nothing in the verdict to prevent them from
being yet placed upon their trial. It is declared
that Beale died of disease of the lungs, " brought
on and aggravated" by his treatment in prison.
It is not as if he had gone into the gaol with health
already impaired—when, perhaps, the necessary
discipline of a prison might have aggravated a
malady of which the seeds had been previously
sown; but in this case the cause of death was
" brought on" by the treatment to which the de-
ceased was subjected. If there were more
severity shown towards Beale than was required
by the rules of the prison, the whole blame rests
with the individuals who occasioned it. But if
the management of the Northleach House of
Correction is such, that any person confined
in it is liable to contract a fatal disease
under the ordinary treatment, then must the
persons by whom that treatment is prescribed
and sanctioned be held responsible. We do
not see that Magistrates have any more right
than other individuals to order, or permit, in an
establishment under their control, such a course
of management as may be destructive of human
life. The direction of the internal arrangements
of a prison is a duty to which responsibility ought
to attach, as well as to the exercise of any less
important functions. Though the local Magis-
trates have, in the case of the Northleach House
of Correction, when sitting in judgment on their
own conduct, passed a verdict of self-acquittal,
they will not get off so easily at the bar of public
opinion ; nor ought they to escape a legal tribu-
nal, if they have been guilty of ordering
or permitting a series of enormities to be com-
mitted in the prison over whichthey had control.
With regard to the conduct of the governor, the
surgeon, and the turnkey, who aro expressly de-
nounced by name with the disapprobation of the
Jury, inquiry cannot, of course, stop at the point
it has already gone to. The surgeon, at least,
must be wholly unfit for his office, if he erred in
ignorance; and if the death of his unhappy
patient was caused by ill treatment and neglect,
we must forbear from saying of what we consider
the medical man to have been guilty. A memo-
rial has been forwarded to the Secretary of State,
and it is to be hoped that any inquiry that is un-
dertaken may be carried out in a different spirit
from that which is too often shown when the
conduct of persons in authority happens to be in
question. Let every fair opportunity of justifica-
tion be afforded, and every facility given fin• the
establishment of innocence, if it exist; but if
there has been guilt, this is indeed a case in
which an example should be made of it.

STANDARD.—We are more vexed than sur-
prised to find that our remarks upon the Govern-
ment arrangements in Canada have provoked the
dissatisfaction of more than one of our Irish Con-
temporaries. Were our censors parties less re-
spected by Its than they are, we could easily dis-
miss their reproofs by the short answer, " point
out what better could be done, or be silent;"
but giving them full credit for sincerity, and
allowing for the strong sympathy that must exist
between the loyal men of Ireland and the loyal
men of Canada, upon the particular point
under consideration—sympathy arising from
the severe trials to which loyalty has
been subjected in both countries—and the cir.!
eumstance that in both the absence of a wider
field of honourable enterprise in commerce and
the professions renders the patronage of the
Crown an object of very undue value—making,
we say, these allowances, we feel that we owe a
more explicit defence of the propositions we
have affirmed. Mankind are always the same;
and it is as true now as it was when Machiavel
wrote—nearly four centuries ago—that there are
but two ways of obviating the consequences of
a rebellion; the one, bitterly to disable the
rebels from renewing the war against you ; the
other, to forget, as States only can forget, that
is, practically, that the rebels ever were enemies.
Men will, Of course, differ as to the choice of
these courses, and that choice will, in the case of
wise men, be determined by circumstances. We

may, for ourselves, think that the first line is that
which ought to have been preferred in Canada,
and we have no wish to conceal our opinion that
the best arrangement would have been one
which, securing to the disaffected race the most
perfect enjoyment of personal liberty and of
their property, should have wholly stripped
them of political power. It was upon this
ground that we opposed the system of the
Durham and Sydenham administrations, with
which we are now reproached, as if such op-
position were inconsistent with the opinions we
have lately offered. The choice, however, be-
tween utterly disabling the late enemies of her
Majesty's authority in Canada, and an absolute
oblivion of their hostility (the only choice, we
repeat it, open to any Government) was no
longer free when the present Administration
succeeded to office. The Ministers to whom
they succeeded had not only pardoned the hostile
party—in which, after the rebellidn had been
suppressed, they were right—but invested
her Majesty's late enemies with a large
share of political power : to retract that
gift, once made, would be difficult, probably
unjust, and certainly without precedent in the
history of any civilised country. But to arm a
party with power, and then practically to re-
member that that party had been hostile, such
practical remembrance 'constituting a real, con-
stant proscription, would be to commit the ex-
treme folly of equipping and organising enemies
with whom to wage eternal war. There was,
then, no course open to the present Govern-
ment but that of absolute oblivion of all political
offences committed in the province for the last
fifteen years—an oblivion not merely nominal,
but sincere and practical.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
TIMES.—To return to th 9 subject of the loan to
the United States Bank by Messrs. Denison and Co.,
with deposit of State Stocks as collateral security, it
may be useful to reprint the trust deed executed on
that occasion, on behalf of the bondholders. It is as
follows :

"Whereas the President, Directors, and Company
of the Bank of the United States, by a power of at-
torney, duly executed under the seal of the sai-1 Bank,
and dated Philadelphia, August 23, 1839 (a duplicate
of which is deposited with the undermentioned trus-
tees), have appointed Samuel Jaudon, late of Phila-
delphia, but now resident in London, their lawful at-
torney, with full power to deposit and hypothecate all
State Stocks and other securities in his possession to
them belonging, and to raise a loan or loans thereon
for the use of the said Bank ; now, therefore, in virtue
of the said power, I, the said Samuel Jaudon, do
hereby deposit and lypothecate in the hands of Messrs.
Denison and Co., of London, the following State
Stocks, viz.:-
617 certificates of Pensylvania 5 per cent Dollars.

trust for securing the due re-payment of a loan of
800,000/., to be raised upon notes of the said bank, to be
dated at London, the 14th day of October, 1839, and par-
ticularised as follows, viz.
Notes.
1 to 100-100 notes of 500 each = 50,000
101 to 200-100 notes of 1,000 each == 100,000
201 to 325-125 notes of 2,000 each = 250,000

-400,0001.,

due April 15,1841.
326 to 425-100 notes of 500 each =-- 50,000
426 to 525-100 notes of 1,000 each = 100,000
526 to 650-125 notes of 2,000 each = 250,000

due April 15, 1842.
" And we, the said Denison and Co., trustees as
aforesaid, do hereby acknowledge the receipt of the
said State stocks, and do engage to hold them as se-
curity for the due payment of the said notes ; and it is
hereby agreed between the said trustees, acting for
the holders of the said notes, and the said Samuel
Jaudon, attorney, as aforesaid, that in the case of any
default in the due payment of the said notes, or any of
them, the said trustees shall be at liberty to sell or
otherwise dispose of the said State stocks, or any part
thereof, as to them may seem expedient, and apply
the proceeds to the payment of the said notes or such
of them as shall remain unpaid, the Bank of the
United States alone remaining liable for any defi-
ciency that may occur. And further, that at any
time previous to the aaturity of the said notes, the
said trustees, if so requested by the said bank, shall
sell the said State stocks, or any part thereof, and ap-
ply the proceeds to the purchase of the said notes, if
at or under par, or, if above par, to the liquidation of
such notes as they may draw by lot from the whole
number first maturing to an amount of not less at
any one time than 20,0001. ; and the interest upon the
notes so drawn shall cease one month after notice is
given in the London Gazette of the numbers of notes
which have been so drawn to be paid off. In witness
whereof, we have hereunto set our hands and seals,
this 12th day of October, 1839.
" S. JAUDON, Attorney.
" DENISON and CO.'

By this document it will be seen that the deposit
is intended to cover 800,0001., or two loans of
400,000/. each, of which the United States Bank
can pay no portion, and the bonds deposited as se-
curity having ceased to pay interest, neither prin-
cipal nor interest on the bank bonds or debentures
are forthcoming to the subscribers. The disposition
of the security is therefore the remaining question
between them and the contractors. A correspon-
dent has suggested, that Messrs. Denison and Co.
should convene a meeting of the holders of the
debentures, and take the opinion of the majority as
to the future mode of proceeding, which appears
reasonable enough, and not unworthy of considera•
tion even with a view to their own protection. They
do not intend, of course, either to adopt the debt, or
take upon themselves the responsibility of the mode
of realising the security, and would probably be
glad to wash their hands of the whole affair. It
would be useless now to discuss the prudence of the
original contract, in favour of which there is very
little to be said, but they are certainly bound by every
consideration to us e their best exertions on behalf of
the bondholders ~vho supported them in it, and to
treat all their 'applications to them with the utmost
respect and t ouatesy.
The imr,rovetuent, of the communications between
China anet Bombay is ' one that should occupy the
attention of
the Past India and China Association,
and of the mcwchants trading with that part of the
world. The last mail from China was 120 days, and
that now exp ected to arrive cannot be much less, yet
it has been dc.me, as was stated the other day, through
the employment of a steam-vessel, in 73 days,
and an
instance occurred in the beginning, of the present
year in which by employing a fast sailing-vessel it was
accomplished in 87 days, and such vessels are gene-
rally to be hart, if steamers are not. It is to be hoped,
seeing the general anxiety on the subject, that the
Government or the East India Company will avail
themselves of the mail of the 4th of November to send
out instructions for a steady and improved mode of
communication between India and China.

HERALD.- —During the progress of the indigo
sale, which closed yesterday, the purchases on ac-
count of the la nr.e trade were far more extensive than
had been antic.ipited, and from the late period of the
year at which tb .e sale terminated would appear to in-
dicate an imrfirm -ement in the business of the manu-
facturing di!stri2 ts. The total quantity thus disposed
of amounts. to upwards of 2,000 chests, including a
portion of the llots bought in during its progress, at
an advance on the average of 6d. per lb. upon the
prices paid in July. The exporters, and especially
the Pet-inch, ha ,ve also bought extensively, and it is
considered that had the importers been more mode-
rate in their 41emands consequent upon the late ad-
vices from Inefia, the whole of the large quantity about
to be offered .ivould have been taken off. Besides this
indication of a revival in the home trade, it may be
noticed that the accounts of the wool market are
equally satis factory, and recent intelligence from
Yorkshire st ites the stocks there to be very materially
reduced, anCi the demand for yarn to be extremely
steady, the holders being firm in their prices, though
the quantity shipped this year has not been so large
as it was in 184'i. Meanwhile the home demandhas
considerably inc Teased, particularly for lower
qua-
lities of goods.
