Marched off amid the applause of the company. The

-When Admiral Manby, the old companion of Van-
couver, had transmitted last year to the French Am-,
itpss.ador in London the news that An English I.hiler
kid found some remains of tlie ;anis:mutate La Pmoase
in the Coral Sea, the Ambassador kept a profoond'
silence on the subject, because the surviving officers of
thee: pedition'ef Entrecasteaux-(pmh.podor t) regarded
this news of Admirallitatib_Y with an evil eye!
1 am informed, from good authority, that the expedition .f
Captain Duperray bas only cost 1117?100 francs (about £10,000.)
You wilt find in the sussed article of the drrospendenee-Ashr;
assesiisie of Baron de Zilch of this year (vol. 14, page 110); that La
Peruse had mistaken half a degree, sod his astronomer Dirk* a
degree, in the. port of -Cuba, at Manilla. The longitudes in the
voyage of La Perouse are generally false, u you will see proud in
this paper.

It has been remarked as extraordinary, thatisotwith-
standing the repeated falls which have taken place in
the price of teas at the India House sales. no prom-
tionaie reduction to the public has yet taken place at
any of the great retail houses.
A letter from Leeds mentions a curious instance of
the pertinacity with which the paper circulation of the
provincial banks is thrown back on the issuers. A
banker in that town had the curiosity to watch the
progress of one note of 51., which he discovered to have
been issued nine times in two days, and it was as often
brought back to be exchanged for sovereirns.
The trial of James Evans for the murder of Mr. Price,
in this town, is not expected to come oa until the lat-
ter end of this week. A true bill has been found
against him by the Grand Jury.—Manekester Journal.
Yesterday evening, a meeting was held in the Church
of St. Leonard, Shoreditch, pursuant to an advertise•
ment, when resolution; condemnatory of the Corn Laws
were unanimously entered into, and petitions, embody. -
ing the resolutions, agreed to be drawn up, to be pre-
sented to both Houses of Parliament. A committee for
that purpose was appointed.
RIVALRY IR MANUFACTURILS.--Irbiindersdent of
Lyons, of the Stb instant, contains the following liberal
and sensible observations on national rivalry in manu-
factures:—" The financial crisis which afflicts Great
Britain has exercised a lamentable influence over its
manufactures—it was impossible that it should be
otherwise. Should we clap hands on hearing the re-
cital of the taisfortunes of our neighbours, as if they
were to the advantage of our industry—the rival of
English industry ? To consider it here as >i local and
positive interest, it would seem that our manufactures
would gain by the diminution of opponents in the
market. But when we begin to reflect seriously, we
moat recognise the justice of the principle of economi-
cal science, which teaches us, that all branches of in-
descry go hand in hand all over the world, and that they
cannot be injured in one place without having it felt
elsewhere. Nations henceforward have only one means
of contending with one another. which is by trying'
which will produce the best : this noble emulation has
nothing to do with envy—it does not exclude generosity.
Lyons particularly possesses too many advanpiges to be
susceptible of jealousy. Let then the hypocritical toe-
mies of industry applaud the reverses. of English ma-
nufactures! What would be the consequence, if we,
relying on their pretended ruin, should relax those
efforts which we have made up to the present day, to
struggle against them ; if we neglect to open new chan-
nels for our piotiuttions; if we regard as SUP"""
the improvement of our machinery ; if we do not enn.
courage discoveries and processes which multiply dm
numbers of arms ; if, finally, we go back by unitise tes
the infancy of art, then it would be that •our Diem),
through tie aid of our follies, would crush as. with. a
superiority which we should have let him acquire :by
our own fault." ". ,
