nicle His speech, am told, is considered in Lon
don, to have done to injure and discredit the
Of abolition than any efforts however subtle,
of the most jealous Of its eppoaents. The Duke of
Sussex, it is sad left the chair before he began to
speak, to avoid the appearance of saBctionng his
blac guardism. You will perceive what a cataract
of dirty puddle he sPouts on the United States, and
INDUCES in a tissue of the most brutal falseho0ds

understand, had prepared Rowland for TINS Cali
ban, bat were persuaded by their friends, when IT
press it, the express ground, that anything SAID
by O'COnnell regarded, ipso facfo, as ie and
its refuaton would seem to imply there was doubt
whether he lied or not. Hence nobody notices MIN

The whole Convention has excited either pity
contempt, or distrust First squabble ensued on
their meeting, whether some amiable men wearing
petticeats were to be admitted members, which led
to farcieal hermorphrodite debate, and much
wrangling and dissension took place In their COM
mittees, which proved that the saints were not, at
who come over like the foul Bird to dirty their ewn

or in England. Having been incendaries at home,
1t is considered they have come to play the stu
more amiable parts Of traitors abroad. But men OF
some discretion at least begin to view the proceed
ngs Of these fanatics with dsnay and distrust.
They think they see in them the germs OF hostile
spirit between the two countries and the question
begins to be seriously asked, whether nation has
right to hold, or have held within her limits, con-
ventions which have direct tendency to desccrate
and dissolve the INTERNAL Vi dHotneT
involving the consequences Of both ssrvile and a
civil war.
The money market is still in a very capricious and
nervous condition. Money is abundant but conf
dence is very sparingly accorded. American secu-
rites are unsaleable and not bond should be sent
over for the next twelve month. The harvest premi

we shall better state Of things The only large
loan that has come to Europe, is that for the
Republic Of Texas which we learn the Comm sion

The interruption of the trade with China, and the

whether the circulation of the Provincial Banks is

1t is understood at present that the weight OF evi

Bank Of En- glandthat their course is liable to great
exception and that its Directors have displayed a
remarkable want Of all knowledge OF the first pr'nc-

which their blunders greatly aggravated.

Our passage in the Queen proved as pleasant pro-
baby as a voyage under the circumstances
could prove The three first days after leaving New
York we had head winds from the east which i'm
peded our progress. Still we made the passage in

or six hundred miles out, tho ship met cross sea-
rolling tremendously from the south, which caused
the vessel TO roll and pitch excessively. Afterwards
