PUBLIC; OPINION.
The Herald has the following sensible remarks on the late
attack on the Queen We regret to :observe the almost
universally-excited comment which Sunday's outrage on her
Majesty has provoked, because we feel convinced that the edi-
torial silence of the press would have a much more wholesome
effect on such occasions—if we are to have a constant sums-
s'on of these criminal and brutal offences—than overwrought
expressions of jut.t indignation and general loyalty. There is
wisdom, we are certain, in si'ence about these attacks, and
the less the public know about the details of, and the smaller
comment there is made on these crimes, the greater safety is
there for Queen Victoria, whom God long bless and preserve
to reign over a people who are satisfied with her ruse, and who
honour and respect her personally. Depraved minds are ever
on the al srt to discover how they shall most easily obtain bad
notoriety ; and the elevation of these insults into the promi-
nent topic of passing discussion stimulates, if it does not beget,
other treasonable assaults."

The untortunates who were fleeced by the late Mexican
hoax, are, it is reported, about to request the intervention of
the Committee of the South American Bondholders to investi-
gate the business. It. certainty appears to be a legitimate subject
for their interference, inasmuch as the serious fall which occurred
in consequence of the report, to a great extentcompromises the
character of the Government. It is said that the decision ar-
rived at by the Committee of the Stock Exchange was at least
very hasty, and that every bargain made in the morning thould
have been thoroughly sifted in order to ascertain if any im-
proper use had been made of the informatiun. It is to be hoped
that the South American Committee will take the matter up.
The inf rotation from Ceylon is rather discouraging. As a
last resource for the revival of the cinnamon trade, another Me-
morial had been prepared, requesting that the export duty might
be abolished ; how tar that may bring relief appears problema-
tical. The low prices at present obtainable here being solely
attributable to the large stock, the•nucleus of which was formed
when the article was a Government monopoly, by the cultiva-
tion being forced to an extent far beyond the demand. In ad-
dition to this tact, the unsettled stale of Spain, and partial ces-
sation of mining operations in South America, have caused the
orders for exportation, in which the bulk of consumption con-
sisted, materially to fall off. One reason upon which the trier-

chants there very strongly dwell, is the increased production
in Java, and other places in that neighbourhood under'the
&minion or the Dutch, but it seems ditfkult to reconcile the
idea that relaxing the duty would cause other countries to cease

the cultivation of the plarii.
It is observable that certain parties in Ceylon are making
great exertions to extend the growth of coffee and sugar, and
expe.ience has shown that the so,l of the island is admirably
adapted fur both. The demand for the former article is
daily increasing here, and it now goes far to sup-
ply the deficiency between the production of the West
Indies and the consumption of the Kinguom. The alteration in
the duty made by the tariff, the abolition of the system of
importing foreign by way of the Cape of Good Hope, will
further increase the necessity for colonial, since it would seem
that it would be more advantageous to turn attention to articles
in increasing consumption than to such as are evidently going
out of use, as is the case with cinnamon.

MONEY iIIARKI&T and CITY NEWS.

FROM TIII MORNING PAPERS OF YFSTERD %Y.

TlMES.—Sutlicient time having now elapsed for a Report to
be snade to Parliament by the Commissioners sitting on the
case of the holders of forged Exchequer bills, the parties and
the moneyed interest generally are looking with interest and
anmeity for its appearance, though they. do not doubt a favour-
able report an claims placed by the strict investigation of the
Commssioners beyond the reproach of bad faith. it is to
hoped that no unnecessary delay will take place on the part of
the Commissioners themselves in making their report, for the
session is drawing near to a conclusion, and to allow these
claims to stand over to another would be to inflict extreme suf-
fering on the parties, even slough permitted with confidence to
look forward to the nxt session for a-favourable .lecision. To
procrastinate in such a case is almost equal to a denial of jus-
tice ; and the Commissioners will compromise the character
of Parliament itself if they do not elo their duty, and du it
promptly.
With an improvement in the price of nearly one quarter per
cent., the English Stocks have maintaned a firm appearance

dence to operate upon a depressed market for a rise, which

Eci.IPSE--On Friday morning nett, the Bth inst.,
there will be an almost total' eclipse of the sun, which will be
visible if the air prove clear. As an eclipse of the sun always
begins on his western, or right-hand side, it will commence,
or the first contact will be at 43 minutes past four in the morn-
ing; the greatest Obscuration at 36 minutes past five, when,
dividing the sun into twelve equal parts, or. as they are fre-
quently termed, digits, nearly nine out of the twelve will he
eclipsed in the northern limb, and the sun will appear as the
moon wh. n three or four days old. The eclipso ends 33 mi-
nutes past six o'clock. This is the largest solar eclipse we shall
have till Oct. 9,1847.

" THE RAPE or TILE Locx."—A young woman,
apparently a decent servant girl, on Friday, applied to Mr.
Rolston for a summons against a hair cutter, for. having re-
eeacted " The Rape of the Lock" on an extended scale. The
complainant stated that on the morning of that day she went
into a hairdresser's shop. accom:,anied by a boy whose hair had
to be dressed. When the man of perfumes had finished the
operation, he politely requested that hr mieht have the pleasure
of dressing the young lady's hair also ; and she consented, on
the understanding that her hair, of the beauty of whieh she was
doubtless proud, should not be at all shortened. This pr oviso
was promptly agreed to, and the gentleman -commenced his
self-imposed task. Presently, however,. the girl became sen-
sible that a large portion of her hinder hair, about fourteen or
sixteen inches in length, had been -dexterously clipped off as
with the shears of fate. The girl, who appeared very discon-
solate at her loss, exhibited the shorn locks to the Magistrate.
Mr. Rushton, who could not convert the rape int r a felony, civic
which he had summary jurisdiction, told the woe-begone appli-
cant that he could not grant her a summons, and that her only
remedy was by an action at law. The girl did not mention
the name of the rascally barber.—Liverpool Times.
ROWING MATCH BETWEEN THE • ETONIANS AND
WESTMINSTER SCITOLARS.-It is now some years since the
crack oarsmen of these two schools were matched against each
other. Arrangements, however, have just been made for an
eight-oared match to come off on the Thames, on Tuesday, the
2d if August. the distance to be rowed being from Kew-bridge
to Putney. The Eton crew, who are in excellent condition and
fine practice, Will be composed of Richards (stroke oar), Court-
ney, Tuke, Stapylton, Ileygate, Fellowes,--Flolliot, and Red-
ford. Whitmore will officiate as coxswain. The W. stminster
crew are-also in beautiful trim, so that the result is looket for-
ward to with 'considerable interes:. The last match was won
by the Westminster scholars beating the Etonians, after a hard
struggle for the victory.
RAILWAYS IPI ENGLAND.—The first public railway
in England was begun in 1801, and was that insignificant
horse track from Croydon to Wandsworth. Others of a similar
description gradually followed, hut only 20 Acts of ParliamAst
for this purpose were passed in the first CO years of the present
century. In the next ten years, from 1820 io 180, there were
49 Railway Bids passed. '1 he extent of English Ilailwa) s. in
1836, was estimated at 840 miles, and those in eJnt,mplatt,,n
would extend considerably beyond that distance when com-
pleted. In 1818 there existed in England and Wales, paved
streo's and turnpike roads, to the extent of 19,725 mile,;
other public! highways. 94,104; ma'tiu2 altogether 114,829
miles. From the report of the Lords of tile Committee upon
turnpike trusts, it appears that in the year 1829, the extent of
turnpike roads in England was 18,244 ; Wales, 2,631 ; 'cot-
land, 336—t0ta125,541 miles.
STOPPAGE Or MILLS AT MANCHESTER.—DIS-
CHAUGE of •AlEcHANics.--In add tioa to the gloomy re-
port ref the state Of trade at Mttnehesai:, there is in store
a mass of calamity and distr.!ss for a larger number
of operatives, who will be thrown out of employment
this day, and on Saturday, the 16th instant, than per-
haps were ever deprived of work in the same period.
It is now ascertained' that the entire machinery in the
extensive mill occupied by Mr. diehard Roberts will
all cease to be worked on Saturday (this day), and
that the Hanover mills will be in the same position
either to-day or next Saturday. That a large spinning
and weaving establishment in Oxford-road will cause
four hundred looms to be laid u:1, and of course spinning
machinery to correspond ; that the well-known rirm of
Messrs. Sharp, Roberts, and Co., the celebrated machine
and locomotive engine makers, have discharged and have
given notice to between two and three hundred hands
that their services will not be required after the ensuing
week. Should, therelre, two of these-concerns cease work-
ing altogether, and the remaining two curtail their pro
ductions to the extent reported, there will be no fewer
then 1,500 additional hands, to say nothing. of the num-
bers of women and children d. pending on the heads of
families, wins will be involved in the calamity. There
need not a-word be said to prove how the distress of the
country-is extending, and extending too among a class of
men who have hitherto absolutely felt nothing, either hs
the reduction of wages, or in the want of employment,
viz., the mechanics engaged its the making of locomotive
engines; and if such a tirm as that in question feels it
necessary to discharge so great a body of the higher
grade of mechanics—a firm that undoubtedly will have
orders if any are to be had—what must ba the ruin and
stagnation on the eveofoyertaking second and third-
sate establishments in that line?
