The intelligence is of very little interest as far as we
can gather from the papers before us.

The operations at the Board of Brokers, in New York,
were to a fair extent at a slight improvement i❑ rates.
There were more enquiries for foreign exchanges at 108
to 108+ on England. The cotton market was firm at a
slight advance.
The Cotton market at New Orleans was rather de-
pressed in consequence of the accounts received by the
Acadia and Great Western steamers. Exchange there
had a tendency to decline, and there was but little doing.
A horrible murder was committed in New York on the
29th ult. by a man of the name of Seitzer, who after suf-
focating his wife set fire to the house in which they resi-
ded. The husband had been apprehended, and a verdict
of wilful murder was returned against him.
Meetings were in course of being held in every part of
Upper Canada, demanding the removal of the seat of go-
vernment out of that province. The newspapers are ra-
pidly taking it up as a question, not between Montreal
and Kingston, but between the French Canadian and the
Anglo-Saxon race. Aftor a tong debate in the House of
Assembly the bonding of foreign cattle clause in the Agri-
cultural Protection Bill was adopted by the house.

A STRIKING MOMENT.—That was a striking moment
in the life of Louis Philippe when he pronounced his first
speech to the remnants of the last Chambers of the Re-
storation, and when he declared he had come forward
" with the firm resolution of d

lies they t

voting his efforts to re-
establish the empire of the laws; to save, protect, endan-
gered liberty, and render the recurrence impossible of
such great evils by securing for ever the power of that
charta whose name, invoked during the combat, was re-
peated after victory." In this first address Louis Phi-

lippe clearly indicated the policy he was resolved to pursue.
" Every right should be substantially guaranteed, all the
institutions necessary to their full and free exercise should
receive the developments of which they had need."
Again : " Attached with his whole heart, and from con-
♦iction, to the principles of a free government, he ac-
cepted all its consequences beforehand." That Europe
might at once understand that his was an orderly and pa-
cific mind, and that his government would partake of the
same characteristics, he declared,—" Yes, gentlemen,
this land of France, so dear to me, will be happy and free ;
it will prove to Europe that, solely engaged in promoting
its internal prosperity, it cherished peace as much as
liberty, and only wishes for the happiness and repose of
its neighbours. This was the programme of the lieute-
nant-general ; and, after thirteen years of a most labo-
rious and agitated reign, he is as faithful to that programme
as he has ever been, amidst all the fury of factions

AMERICA AND ITS CREDITORS.—Among the discus-
sions to which the moral lubricities of this insolvent peo-
ple have given birth, they have arrogated to themselves
the right of sating in judgment upon the property of their
creditors—of deciding who among them is rich, and who
poor, and who are proper objects of compassionate pay-
ment ; but in the name of Mercury, the great god of
thieves, did any man ever hear of debtors alleging the
wealth of the lender as a reaaon for eluding the payment
of the loan ? Is the Stock Exchange a place for the tables
of the money-lenders ; or is it a school of moralists, who
may amerce the rich, exalt the poor, and correct the ini-
quities of fortune ? is Biddle an instrument in the hands
of Providence to exalt the humble and send the rich empty
away ? Does American Providence work with such in-
struments as Biddle? But the only good part of this bad
morality is not acted upon. The rich are robbed, but the
poor are not paid; they growl against the dividend of
Dives. and don't like the sores of Lazarus. They seize

with loud acclamations on the money-bags of Jones
Lloyd, Rothschild, and Baring, but they do not give back
the pittance of the widow, and the bread of the child.

Those knaves of the setting sun may call me rich, for I
have a twentieth part of the income of the Archbishop of
Canterbury ; but the curate of the next parish is a wretched
soul, bruised by adversity ; and the three hundred pounds
for his children, which it has taken his life to save, is eat
and drunken by the mean men of Pennsylvania—by men
who are always talking of the virtue and honour of the
United States—by men who soar above others in what
they say, and sink below all nations in what they do—who,
after floating on the heaven of declamation, fall down to
feed on the offal and garbage of the earth.—Sydney
Smith's Letter.

AN ORIENTAL'S OPINION OF ENGLISH DANCING.—
His first impressions on English dancing are perfectly
unique in their way, and we can only do justice to them
by quoting them at length. "Itis so entirely unlike any
thing we ever heard of in Hindustan,that I cannot refrain
from giving a slight sketch of what I saw. In the first
place, the company could not have been fewer than 1,500
or 2,000, of the highest classes of society, the. ministers,
the nobles, and the wealthy, with their wives and daugh-
ters. Several hundreds stood up, every gentleman with a
lady; and they advanced and retired several times, hold-

last the circle they had formed broke up, some running off
to the right, and some to the left—then a gentleman,
leaving his lady, would strike out obliquely across the
room. sometimes makine direct for another lady at a dis.

tance, and sometimes stooping and flourishing with his
legs as he went along : when he approached her, he made
a sort of salaam, and then retreated. Another would go
