There have been few measures of greater importance
submitted to the consideration of Parliament, during
the present Session, than the Bill presented the night
before last by Sir Geonne HILL, having for its object
the legalizing of the establishment of Banks on the
Joint Stock principle in Ireland.
Mr. DAWSON, in a speech of great force of argu
ment, stated the advantages likely to result from this
measure : and an unanimous feeling was expressed by
the House of its probable benefit to the state of Ireland.
For our own part we anticipate that a most favourable
change in the whole state of the sister country will be
produced by this measure. The want of capital in Ire-
land, has been deeply felt by all the several interests
on which the welfare of a nation depends, and this evil
will be effectually removed, by the means which the in-
tended measure will afford of extending the circulation
of the surplus capital of England to Irish objects.
It is a remarkable fact, that while in England there
are five hundred and thirty private Banks, and in Scot-
land a hundred and twenty-eight, there are not in Ireland
more than ten private banking establishments ; and that
while the Bank of England, and the National Banks of
Scotland, lend the greatest facilities to trade and fair
commercial enterprise, by the liberality of their ad-
vances, and the principles upon which all their engage-
ments are conducted, the autk of Ireland appears,
by its injudicious measures, rather to have added to
than relieved the national distress. The failure of some

the private Banks in the south and south-west of
Ireland, appears to bays destroyed the confideace
of the people in any establishments of this na-
ture, which feeling -in the people has naturally de-
terred private individuals from attempting the forma-
tion of any new private Banks. It appears to us,
therefore, that the establishment of Banks on the Joint
Stock principle, in all the principal towns of Ireland,
is the only mode left by which the benefit of a large
capital can be directed to all parts of that kingdom ;
and, viewing Ireland, as we do, as a fertile source of
future benefit to the empire at large, when its resources
shall be properly called into action, we cannot but hope
that the present measure may be the means by which
that object may be effected; and that before many
months expire, we may witness the extraordinary prci-
sperity which now exists in this part of the empire, ex-
tend itself with rapid strides through that most inte-
resting part of the United Kingdom.

Last night, the Pico Peruvian Mining Bill was read
a first time in the House of Commons, after a pretty lull

discussion of its met its. We are glad of this, for with
the exception of the pamphlet of Sir WILLIAM ADAMS
on the Mexican Mines, the Public have little means of
judging of the relative merits of the several Mines in
South America. Sir WILLIAM has with great industry
villected a great, body of information on the subject, and

the prospects the Mines offer, when worked with ILitiat
skill and British machinery.
We have received the French Papers of Tuesdaj',with
the Etoile of yesterday, but they contain no news. The
French Rentes, on Tuesday, at three o'clock, were 10Sf.
7c. for time.

Accounts from Batavia of SOth October staterthat the
-Dutch frigate Eurydice, Captain WARIMINICRO, Aside
the transports Emelia and Merkur, sailed on the. fish
for Macassar, with 400 men, to reinforce the garrison of
that establishment, under the command of Colonel
B 'seltzer, who will direct the military operation; there
It appears, by the latest accounts from Macassar,
that the Bcniers, who for some time had remained in a
hostile attitude on the frontiers, encouraed.by the per.
rnanent opposition of SORPA, had entered the territory
of the Government' only a few days atter the departure
of the Eurydice from the Roads of Macassar, withcnt
any declaration of war, and had attacked the Regain
of Simbang and Tynrana, which had obliged the Go-
vernor of Macassar to ask assistance of the KING of
Goah (or Macassar).
The Bonier: marched with a numerous army against
Punkajene, where Lieutenant GRUNWALD occupied a
strong position with SO naiives. While he was bravely
defending' himself in this position, his little powder
magazine' caught fire, and the whole• post' walP-de-
stroyecl. BARON, the resident, who exercised the.civk
authority, had the •good fortune to escape from the In-
surgents by putting to sea in a boar.
The Second -Lieutenant, GILLIAM, who occupied
Lebakkang with '25 men, was oblige) to fall hack be-
fore the enemy; who attacked him, and were joined by
the inhabitints'of the country, on whoin he depended
to defend himself. •
The band of insurgents having arrived at T..nette,
restored the old KING to his authority. The detach-
ment of forty-five men and two )Officers which was at
that point, not-being able to resist them, hacheturried to
Macassar, on board the Nautilus brig.

The enemy had reached the heights of Boeloe Lepong,
but Major WACHS having marched against them with
120 men, and four field•pieces, they retired to Leang.
Leang and Semangie. Boelecomha aid Bonthaim
had not yet been attacked on the Bth October, but the
Boniers threatened to come to those places with a con.
siderable force.

It appears that the scarcity caused by the b.ld harvest
in the Kingdom of the Bonier', had enabled thtt Go-
vernment to levy a considerable army, which hoped to
find provisions in the Batavian ten itory, in which it has
already succeeded, on the side of Mares. • •
It had been thought advisable not toscatter the.troops
two Much, 'in order to avoid diseases,'and to..be Ale to
meet those bands; and measures me laking to- drive
them from the Dutch territory.
This forenoon we. received German Papers to the
II th inst. The dligerneirreZeitusg contains the follow-
ing account of the recent disturbances in the. Turkish
capital :
CONSTANTINOPLE. 'FEBRUARY to.
The capital has been lately a scene of •disdrder• , its
which, however, neither Greeks nor Franks took any
part. According to the discoveries made by the police,
which led to the arrest of several individuals, it appeirs
that four Ones of the Janissaries had been seduced to
tumultuous proceedings. Seidschik Mnstapha, Astro.
loger to the Sultan, Abdir Aga, and several superior
Officers of the Janissaries, acted a principal part.
The Grand Vizir of the 'Aga of the Janissaries, and
the Aga Pacha of Buluckdere, eaerted themselves day
and night to prevent a general insurrection against the
Sultan himself. A few hours only before the time ap-
pointed for the explosion, a Janissary of the 2.3 d Orta,
who was an accomplice,betrayed the whole plot,and thus
gave the Government means to seize the cbiefi •ef Ore
conspiracy, viz. Seidschik Mustapha, Abdir Aga, and
several Officers of the Janisiaries. They have beew de-
livered up to the Bostangi Baschi, and having confessed
their crimes on the rack, have been strangled,. seiFh 'SO
other persons. Many suspected Officers of the four.re.
bellious Ortas were conveyed on board the fleet; and
worse consequences thus prevented. Meantime, the
great severity of the Aga had caused great. discoletent
among all the Janissaries, which has probably induced
the Sultan to remove him yesterday, and to give bis post
to the Commander of the .59th Orta. • .

During these commotion; orders were given for All
tbe principal inhabitants r arm themselves and their
servants, to keep the rioters in awe. We have since
heard that the well known Ghia) Pacba has been .ba-
nished from Galipoli to Adani ; but this seems to be
only a precaution, as the people, the Janissaries, and the
Ulemas, are in general very favourably disposed to.
wards him. He is thought incapable of taking part in
plots against the Sultan.

Private letters from Demerara, of the 26th Janury,
mention circumstances of rather an alarming nature.
It awns that a few nights prior to the above date, all
the houses occupied by the Government negroes be-
yond Camp House, had been destroyed by fire, and
that there was every reason to believe the destruction
had been effected by incendiaries. It is rather a curious
coincidence that the evening of the conflagration
was the anniversary of the proclamation of Martial Law
in the Colony. In addition to the above alarming
intelligence, information had reached the Goveittor
that about one hundred 01 the negroes of Plantation
Kitty had been discovered armed with wed it
was therefore feted some plot was organising. This.in.
formation had caused the Goiernor to dispittch a party
of the 27th Regiment to that district. Business at De-
merara was tolerably brisk, but the above events bad
excited considerable uneasiness.

BANE OF ENGLAND-THIS DAY.

This day, at twelve o'clock; a General Half-Yearly Court of
Proprietors of Bank of England Stock. was held at the Bank, for
the purpose of receiving the Dividend ou their Stock, as appointed
by the Court of Directors.
The Secretary baying read the minutes.
The Govtavoa said, he was appointed by the Court of Directors
to state, that after an attentive consideration of the affairs of the
Company.they had thought it advisable to give a dividend upon the
Stock and Interest of the Proprietors, of fear per cent.
On the question being put,
Mr. Youxa said, he felt it necessary to make the following pro-
Vuitton to the Chairman, although he was by no means the advocate
for the production of a balance sheet, namely, how much was the
issue at present of Bank of England notes, how much was advanced
"oo mortgage, and what was the amount on Stock ?
The Govrasros replied, that with respect to the first, the issue
was between nineteen and twenty millions; the second, amount ad-
Vaned on mortgage was one million two hundred thousand; and
on Stock ft did not exceed, he was happy to say, £600,000.
Mr. yotrxa thought the issue too much for the present exigen-
cies of the country, and hoped great care would be taken in ad-
vancing money to persons only possessing speculative or artificial
capital.
The GOIIIMNOR said, no Lou had as yet taken place. Some con-
versation arose as to the prevention of forging transfers of stock, in
allusion to the late extensive forgeries; and it was proposed to
establish correspondents, to check the powers of attorney, in every
principal town, thereby totally preventing frauds.
The Govaimos said this course would be attended with incalculable
inconvenience, but assured the ProprittOrs that the subject was
under the consideration of the Directors.
The COMM then adjourned, the dividend being carried, and
made payable on the 6th April next.

been employed in writing to them to send immediate
powers of attorney to enable him to act, as the nego-

warmly, and in consequence sent several'official

pear to have the desired effect.

THE MEMORY OF ERIN.

AN AMERICAN SONG FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

Erin, tho' lost, still dear to all
Who once in childhood breath'd thy air;
We seek not now to mourn tby fall,
But bless thee, and the friends still their:
Tkere is, in thy unhappy fate,
Some spell, which strongly draws to thee
The love of all—save those who hate
