we really question whether it could be
efficient. The preponderation must al-
) • party who is to retain the sway; and
our opinion of public men formed from
of place, it is well known that in *eel
maxims predominate: and that there-

. powerful an administration proves, whatever
its character in other respects, the more secure the
ple are of retaining their due influence in the common-
tith.

In mechanics it is well known, if we diminish the
friction of machinery, we do the same as if we added
to the motive power; and so it is in the great
machine of Government. If we wore to diminish
our opposition, we at once leave ourselves more
under the dominion, and subject to the will of an admi-
nistration; and no administration will be found spon-
taneously to check corruption, or propose reform. We

conceive, therefore, that the influence of the executive
in this country, since the elevation of the present admi-
nistration, to have exhibited a very felicitous equipon_
derance of powers, from which much good has resulted ;
and, could the same relative state of influences exist, much
more good would still result.

In thus attributing such importance to the strength of
opposition, we are not inclined to derogate from the merit
of the men in power. They seem heartily inclined to go
forward with the age—although, perhaps, with, the sure
they have too much of the halting step, which the Roman
lyric poet attributes to justice.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Canton Papers to the 16th of February, Montreal to
the 4th of June, and Quebec to the 2nd of Juno, have
been received at the North and South American Coffee-
House.

From the Canton Paper of the 15th of February :
" We are happy to announce the return of amicable in-
tercourse between the Select Committee and the Viceroy,
which has resulted in the Honourable Company's ships
being now at Whampoa, and busily engaged in discharg-
ing their cargoes ; and we hope that no further inter-
ruption will occur to the general foreign commerce. The
Committee have had innumerable obstacles to contend
with, which can be comprehended only by those who are
familiarly acquainted with the habits of the local autho-
rities and the feelings of the people. It would be pre-
sumption in us to say that either this or that point has
been gained or rejected. We bave,•however, sufficient
authority to assert that many essential points have been
conceded ; and these terminating, not in the individual
advantage of the Company, whose representatives have
been the chief advocates in the contest, but for the pro-
tection and interest of universal commerce. One new
Mandarin merchant has been already admitted into the
Cohong ; and we believe that the firmest assurance is
given for a restoration of that body to its original strength
of from twelve to thirteen members, and a disposition
evinced to increase the number without limitation, if
candidates will come forward. The Emperor has also'
ordered that a modification of the duty on shipping shall,
be instantly arranged ; and although the vessels of the
highest class may not be benefited thereby, the material
advantage which these nations must derive, whose com-
merce is conducted by vessels of a smaller size, must be
very striking."
FORMoll.l.—Various accounts represent this Island in
a state of insurrection against the Chinese. Troops have
bees sent to exterminate the rebels.

COMMILACIAL Rzmaaxs.—Bengal opium has gm.
dually advanced in price, till Patna reached 940, and
Benares 920, per chest for cub; but the market has
been very dull for Malwa. No transactions have taken
place in the holders of cotton, since the entrance of the
Company's ships into port. The Chinese have been ask-
ing advanced rates for both raw silk and nankeens; but
we do not hear they have been successful. Teas have
certainly maintained an advance, at least on the previous
prices, of 15 per cent. The Company have opened their,
Treasury for bills on the Supreme Government of Beamsl
gal, at 202 Sicca rupees, per 100 Spanish dollars, at 30
days' sight.
The Quebec paper, of the let of June, states that the
Alone arrived this morning, having seen the Ottawa, aid
twelve or thirteen other vessels off Bie, and they may is
expected with the next tide.
The Montreal papers are void of interest.
The Philadelphia papers, to the Bth June, say that the
brig Active arrived at this port, in 39 days, from Rio
Janeiro. The political state of the country was tranquil.
Accounts from Paris state that a messenger was des-
patched to Count Capodistrias, by M. Polignac, with the
result of the diplomatic conferences held in Paris, respect-
ing the choice of a new Sovereign for Greece ; and dur-
ing the last fortnight there had been a very active ex-
change of couriers, between the Russian embassy at
Paris and. St. Petersburgh.
Letters from Madrid state that the escort which ac-
companies the Spanish Ministers to the Royal residence,
has been strongly reinforced, owing to a recent apostoli-
cal conspiracy, which has been detected.
Letters from Corfu state that fresh disturbances have
taken place in Greece.

CITY, HALF-PAST ONE.
The Estafette, from Paris, brings the rentes, 3 per
nts. 79 to 55. This improvement is attributed to its
being a large Bear Account at Paris, with the rise in the
British Funds.
The Gazette de France has an article, by which it ap-
pears that there is some inclination on the pest of the
Government to conform to the wishes of the people. .L*
consequence of the above information the Cowl Market
has improved.
Consols, which left off on Saturday at 934 for the
account, opened this morning at the above price, but'
soon after reached 94, and at present may be quoted at
931 to 94 ; and for August Account 941 to I, the market
looking firm.
In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
Within. this hour the City was thrown into some coo-
fusion, and Consols fell per cent. in consequent* of a
report that a duel had taken place between the Duke of
WELLINGTON and Prince LEOPOLD, in which the for-
mer was killed. All was on the alert to know the parti-
culars of the famous combat, which, at present, is sup-
posed to be a Stock-jobbing report.
Consols, which were, previous to the above event, 93*
to. 94, fell immediately to 93i for the Account,' and at
present they are 93i f.
