The Courier Franchise signaizes the rage which al
present seems to possess all France, for establishing
companies, purchasing shares in them. and exchanging
honest money for worthless paper. 1.-The great fashion
Of the day" says the Courier, "are the coal mine COM
panies. 4 Spectator finds, in the Northern or centre
! districts, some mine which has been neglected, and which
he can purchase for two or three hundred thousand
francs. Straightway on no other foundation than that
Ola complalsant Imagination, he Occupies The value OF the
nine, forms a company, and sends out shares for three
| millions. When the Company is established, when the
1 shares are at a premium, the knowing ones retire. There
are some frontier towns where this coal rage is excited
i to such an extent, that Companies are formed even be-
= fore The mine is discovered! What astonishes US, says the
Courier FrancaiSc, is. not that there should be rogues
to chea. the public, but that the public should still con-
i sent TO be gulled, and on the faith Of a ~brasgart prospect.
US IN a journal, sacrifice the fruits Of long years of pain.

LIVERPOOL CoTToS MARKET, April 7h.-There has
been a considerable extent Of business transacted in Cot

i there has been more disposition 10 effect sales, and the

STEAM SHiPs-The following prediction from an
English paper, the author of it, and his countrymen &c.

We have inserted in another place, an account Of the
departure Of the Sirius, steam ship, from Cork for New
York. She IS expected TO reach that city about The 10Th
inst and the Great Western, steam ship, which was 10
take her departure from Bristol on Saturday, about the
same time.
The Victoria, steam ship, was getting ready at the
Lime House, below London, and would leave Liverpool
Tor New York in about a month.
The Tories in parliament seem TO be quite %sanguine
that they will ultimately overthrow the ministry. ON
recent decision, imputing blame on the ministry, they
came within two votes of a majority. On The 9th, an
Intellectual attempt was made 10 emanciPate the negroes
OF Jamaica BY the first Of August next as a retaliatory
cularly because they had neglected to fulfil their part of
the apprenticeship engagement. But the resolution
which was supported warmly by OConnell, was put
down by a heavy vote.
