far more calculated, by its ontrazeons, 1),
adulation, to bring the late and present
and even sovereignty
rjtself into contempt, than
any excess of disapprobation, which a nobleman in
the warmth of poetics I feelings may disseminate. But I, t
us further ask, whether King's may not be Inure easily
brought in'o contempt, hatred, and positive danger by
that adulation, which Kiss to their conduct impunity Irvin
pubre censure, than by any over severity in painting tilt ir
private follies or their public vices? But is society its, If to
be sacrificed to these nervous sentiments with•which Jades
and Associations would " hedge a King?" Suppost., for
instance, a Russian poet or historian, on the de.ith ti e
present Emperor of Russia, were to stigmatise his mom .ry
fur having immediately employed about his person t;
two of his court who had been the contrivers and per?,
trators of his father's murder—such a poet or such -nu
bigot inn would, at least by the F:nglisli law of libel, l
et iminally punished ; hot who can doubt that such a
cation would materially benefit the public tnorals,S; strongly
tend to the protection of future Sovereigns fro:n murder?
The only way eventually to destroy the institution
monarchy is to give to Kings an impunity from pub:ic
opinion. It is the errors of Kings, and not the exposure of
those errors which endangers Sovereigns; and what can
preserve Kings from excessive and dangerous errors hut
au amenity to public opinion? "Of ail individual.," 'lnv,
an eminent miter, " Sovereigns stand most in need of the
censor nsorum," and what, in the nature of
things, can perform this importan office but an
' iefficient press ?—But a press which is regulated by the
notions of Judges, instead of the opirdon of tile
I public, is in fact no- press at all; in point of efficacy, it is
I , but au imitation or mockery of a press.

—The meeting of this most benevolent anal iralv thitish
object, took place in the 'loan HMI, on Wellnesiley last,
Professor Jardine in the Chair. It was numerous, and
highly respectable. From perhaps a wish to show Low
little the cause dep-nded upon elmieence or oratorical ap-
peals to the pocket, sea-cely any !toile was said ; however
we are glad to say, something was dune, and many of tie

Two failures were announced yesterday at tire Stack
Exchange ; one of them, a Ntenoller fur the Society of
Frieuds, was to.a very lar4e amount, though the exteht
of the mischief was Not compl-rely ascerta'ne It was
known howeyee that his speculations were little short of
half a million in consols for account. The other
virtual appaared to have been led into difficulties by a de-
Lather announced last week, and his failure was not to le
attributed to hi; own speculations These failures are the
more remarkable, as 'no similar . ccurrence has taken place
j fur a lung period, owing to time regular advance and stra4
ness of the prices. Miring the present account, however,
the great ahundanee of in airy, and the expectati a of a
reduction of interest on the 4 per cents., h is cawed so rapid
an adrance as to confound all previous cola ulat ious on tow
subject.

Accounts have arrived from Monte Video which state
that psrt of Lord Cochrane's squadron was expected from
Rio Janeiro at the bee nnine of October, to blockade that

very euceesaful, and that each sailor had shared prize money
to a most extravagant amount, which had attached them
in the strong. st degree•to the Brazilians, at the saute time
that it Lei I out an almost irresistible temptation to new
adventurers to join them.
