Among the donations recorded in oar columns of

which must have emanated from a truly English heart,
'and which sets an example above all price. This
widest emblem of patriotism adds to the graceful.
tress of: his gift by withholding his name but with
his Willey he gives an admouition to his country Men,
equal in literary merit, at this crisis, to. one of the
- golden rules of PYTHAGORAS. The donation is given
in these terms;—" A voluntary penalty for indulging
in a month': excursion on the Continent, stl2s."
Let us entreat all those who are.absentees from their
country from choice, and not necessity, to weigh well
the extent of the mischief they are actively employed
in disseminating : they are, in fact, most , unfairly,
sad, we may add, dishonestly, increasing the burdens'
of taxation and poor-rates of those who are left at
Stowe, either from patriotic Motives or the more im-
perious injunctions of dety ; and this observation ap-
;plies with tenfold force to those who are squandering
in foreign parts what was acquired by the blood and
sweat of Englishmen, and wrung, we fear, he too'
many instauces, from English industry and skill, by
severe task-nsasters, whose earnings are thus most
unnaturally diverted from the improvement of their
native soil, and made a twofold curse to the country'
whose liberal institutions have admitted of their in.
dulging their avaricious.propensities to the utmost of
their extortionate desires.
While upon the subject of Reliettothe Poor, we{
cAnnot help suggesting to the grave consideration of
those in power, the propriety of instantly, 'and upon
their own responsibility, takingoff the Dugs on
Staffordshire Coal brought to London. The poor
Colliers in Staffordshire would thus be in full employ.

THE FUNDS. •
_Yesterday the Stocks experienced vcti• Item.

were even dividend sellers at 6O for tan minutes.

currently it though quoted at 91i." Long An.
made, were clone at 16 1.16 th down to 15i. but the
List states them 16 1.16 th down to 151 only. We
leannot aceonnt foe this misstatement I Various causes
are assigned for the daily fall, some of them very
silly and conttedistory. Some state, and large bets
are laid. that the Revenue in the ensuing quarter will
be‘four millions less than it was in the cerresenciine
quarter of list year. Others, that Parliament will
meet in October, and that a Loan of -Forty Millions
will be immediately raised.. Some will have it that
a Tax of 20 per Cent. will be laid on the Dividends
in the Bank, and that Lands, Houses, and Labour,
will, on account of the decayed and declining state of
Agriculture, Manufactures, and Commeice," be ex—
empted from any further impost. Others pretend
that the Managers of a certain great House in
Threadneedle•street,' over which an 'hid Lidy has
long presided, have been selling out their Funded
Property for several diyi past; and that a Broker of
Iminence, who has bees in the habit of serving the
Commissioners for many days, has uniformly taken
the Stock out, of the names of one or other of thew
Gentlemen; or out of his. own nanie.large sums having
been, on the previous day, taken out 'of the names of ,
some one.; more of these Managers and put into his ;
and many, perhaps with some reason, are persuaded
that the Sinking Fund will be entirely abolished, at
least for a time, and a corresponding qdantiti of
Tams be taken off to relieve the public from a part
of the pressure of present burthens.
But is any kind of superior wisdom required to
account for an effect inseparable from the present
general depression of the value of property of every
description ? Land has fallen, houses have fallen,
rents have fallen, agricultural produce of every kind
has fallen, ships have fallen, foreign merchandize
and home manufactures have fallen in' price—and
shall the Funds alone escape the general depression ?

.

Or rather, to speak more correctly, can any good
reason be assigned why this specks of property should
by any management whatever, be maintained at a
:realer than its relative valet This is beyond the
power of all the BrOken, and Jobbers, and Gamblers
of the Stock Exchange. They might as well attempt
by concert, or collusion, or trick, or force, or an
Act of Parliament, to alter-the length of day and
night in relation to the Seasons.

Our decided opinion is, that the relative value of
Funded Property is still too high : and if so, it must
yet suffer a proportionate depression. Let the rela-
tive value ut /salter and phi at the periods when a
great portion of the present debt was funded, be corn-
pared with the relative value of these two species of
currency at the present moment, and it will be seen,
we think, that the prices of the Funds are still high.
In this view of the case, which it will not be easy
for any person to prove to be erroneous, we may be
allowed to express some surprise at the alarm which,
' some well-meaning people entertain, in consequense
of the depression of the Stocks. In fact, the posses-
son of other species of property will not be placed in
that situation to which their property entitles them,
till the Funds and every species of property have been
brought to their relative value ; and it is equally the
interest of all. whether they perceive it or not, that
this may soon be the case. The attempts of indivi-
duals to maintain for their own stream a higher than
its relative level, may for a little time retard that
equal diffusion over the surface which is required for
the general benefit ; but they cannot prevent it s and
the sooner this is effected the sooner will the pressure
which is now so distressing to many cease to be so,
by throwing an equal share of the burthen upon every
specks of property.. A man may withoist much in-
convenience bear in the open field a shower of rain
which would well nigh drown him were he compelled
to stand under the gutter of a large building. ,

Ministers, therefore, so far from endeavouring to
retain the Sinking Fund in full operation, could not
better serve the general interest than by putting an
entire stop to it. It is absolutely unjust to support any ,
particplar.species of property by financial operations ;
because this can never be done but by drawiig in
one way or another fiord the possessors otother kinds
of property the full anieuni of the digerence.— Nay
' more, a greater sum is wrung from the contributors,
namely, the whole amount of the' expense of the col.
lection. The =loner now drained from the comma••
nity for the worse' than useless purples of the Sink-
ing• Fund would become new capital from time to
time, and perform all the beneficial functions which
capital does perform—adding to the prosperity of ,
the Landholder, the Manufacturer, the Artisan, and
Laboflier of every description—nay, benefiting. the
'Stockholder himself by lessening his expenditure,
and increasing the wealth of the nation, which is his
only security for his capital.

extremely plain, and as he appared to have come off

SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters from Madrid of the 11th July mention,
that General CASTANOS has resigned the command of
the ariny of Catalonia, and bad been succeeded by
General•Lacr. In the above province and in Anda-
lusia, considerable levies are forming to equip a new
expedition against Spanish America, as the Covent-
Intent now despairs of any good consequences resulting
from that of Moatun. They fiad it impossible to
pacify, and that it is only by main force that the
Royalists retain those points they have been able to
conquer. Propositions have been made to several
Guerrilla Chiefs who distinguished theassehes in the
late war against the French ; some have accepted
active servile; but, in the midst of all these hostile
.preparations and threats of relenge against the Spa-
nish American Insurgents, money is wanting—the
Treasury of the Peninsula is empty—no credit or
trade exists—so that it is a problem among the most
clear-sighted, whether Spain is able to fit out another
expedition of 5000 men against her ultra•marine pro-
vinces, now fast approaching the attainment of the
great object for which they have been fighting during
a period of seven years
By the Ridley we have received letters from Buenos
Ayres to the 11th May, of which the following are
'extracts :

14 MAY 9.—The civil dissentions in this country
are, as it were, suspended, as well with respect to the
northern banks of the River Plate as the other Pro-
vinces. We expect some remedy from the Congress,
which has already began its Sessions, and that some
more regular plan will be devised for the union and
better government of the various Provinces. The
war of posts carried on in Peru distresses Pewit.*,
who is far from his resources and surrounded by a
perfectly hostile country. It appears by private ad•
vices that he has retreated to Potosi, alter destroying
the town and fortifications of Cotagayta."
" MAY 11.—Notwithstanding the hoisted superio-
rity of Pazonca, he does not seem inclined to follow
up the advantage he had gained in' Sipe-Sipe, since
present appearances indicate that he means to content
himself with the possession of Upper Peru. We have
received no account of the Portuguese troops on our
northern frontier having begun io move, but it is said
that the Buenos Ayres Government is about to send
a Deputy to Rio Janeiro. His mission h probably
connected with the hostile preparations and attitude
assumed by.that Court, although Portuguese vessels
continue to frequent this port as if no apprehensions
11 were entertained of a rupture."

We learn that the fleets of the two rival Chiefs of
St. Domingo, Person and Comsvoruz, are at sea in
search of each other.
A private letter from Paris, dated August 10, says :
44 The Due d'Angouleme continues his tour through
the Departments, collecting what is termed the ma-
nifestation of public sentiment, which he is to lay, on'
his return, at the feet of the King. His arrival in
the different towns is commonly preceded by nume-
rous arrests, which being reported to him, be orders
a few liberations and occasional distributions of
money, by means of which his passage appears every
where marked with acts of clemency and munificence,
which are afterwards extolled bj: the public papers.
At Chatillon SO persons were arrested previous to his
arrival, at Dijon IS ; and at the latter town, owing
to the senseless conduct of a Colonel of the Royal
Guard, respecting an imperial emblem he perceived
in a house where he received hospitality; a duel took
place, in which he was wounded ; and a general affray
between his regiment and the National Guard was
only prevented by timely orders for that regiment to
withdraw from the town."
Oa the 27th ult. we stated that a French tartan,
loaded with staves, had been found in a bay of Cor-
sica, wideout any body on hoard ; and also that these
was news in Town of a French vessel with a cargo
of staves having been carried into Tripoli. It now
appears that both of these facts' related to the same
teasel. The St. Maurice, which was captured some
thin back by a pirate, and a Tripotitan cruizer, hav-
ing found her near Dania abandoned, tools her to
Tripoli. By certain papers on board it was there
found that she was French. property, and the Bash
of Tripoli gave her up tOthe French Consul.
Dr. Sruaturanr, has, daring the last month, made
several dissections of the human Brain in the Univers
, sity of Edinburgh, and has received the testimony of
all who, saw him, to the correctness and superiority
of the new mode of dissecting that organ. A consi-
derable number of the Professors were pretedt, as well
u many other persons who had previously opposed
the new doctrine of the Brain.
