The Sun. — 1833-10-01 (London, England)

IEO. cited by any English writer. It was reserved for Mr Balwer to complete the series of these novels of love, anc 'o throw beauty and enchantment over the errors o woman ; and " Falkland" will be found to consummate the idea which the Authors of " La Nouvelle Heloise," " Werter," and "Jacopo Ortis" had only begun. For 20 years in Tuscany the puhishment oi death was altogether abolished by the Grand Duke Leo• pold. Bonaparte afterwards had it restored. Oa coin. paring three successive periods of 20 years ea,h—in I the first period capital punishment existed—in the second period abolished—and in the third period again restored, as above-mentioned—it is found that fewer crimes, and even fewer murders, were perpetrated in the middle 20 years, while no executions took place, than in either the preceding or succeeding 20 years while the scafh•lil was in use. Yesterday was launched from Cit::ltham Dockbard a finely built steam-packet, for the I.'9't-officei named Gulnare, of 100 horse power. This ves•el is the irst built under a system of day work (recently introduced. by the Admiralty into the naval yards) during a period of fifty years. She has been completed, under the direction if an active and ze lous shipwright officer, in the short space of sixty-seven common working d iys, on the same slip from which the Waterloo was launched the 18th June last, thereby proving that the new mode of working 'he men will answer their Lordships' just expectations, if directed by active and zealous officers determined to do their duty.  By the Crown, which has arrived off Liverpool, from Bengal, important information is expected by our commercial firms from Calcutta, but the letters will not be delivered until the morning. Montreal Papers to the 4th instant, inclusive, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. We are happy to learn by them that the crops have turned out much more abundant than was anticipated, and that the commercial transactions of this colony had considerably improved. All fur her anxiety upon the subject of the Upper Canadian Bank Charters appears to have subsided, it being understood, through an official channel, that Mr. Stanley had seen through the impolicy of making those alterations in their charters which his predecessor in office hail contemplated, and it was fully anticipated that this project, which appears to have caused much a'arin, will eventuall:e . be abandoned. We regret to learn that, in consequence cat the incorrect conduct of the agent appointed for the purenv of supplying the emigrants from the estate of Lord Egremont with the means which had been furnished for their settlement, many of these unfortunate people were left almost in a state of destitution, though it is to lie hoped that every exertion has been made to get them into employment. The Lord Nelson, a merchant vessel, which left Lisbon on the 18th inst., brings an account of the capture of the Lord of the Isles steam-ve..sel on the night of the I I th, by a gun-brig with forty men on board, belonging to the Queen. The steam-vessel was chartered from this country for the service of Miguel, and carried out from 25 to 30 French officers, who are presumed, for the account is silent respecting them, to have been landed at San Martinho, in which harbour the capture was effected, the vessel having subsequently been carried into the Tagus as a lawful prizes. The captain of the Lord of the Isles is said to have memorialized Lord William Russell on the subject of the capture, claiming the vessel as of English ownership, but he had not received any attention. The vessel will be an acquisition of some value for the service of the Queen, but seems to have had no warlike stores, or any articles of value on board. In the same letter which furnishes this intelligence, it is stated that another attack was made on Li•bon on the 14th, in which the Miguelites were repulsed with time loss of 2,000 men ; but it has not obtained much credit, and, at all events, requires confirmation. No other letters have been received by the Lord Nelson, but there is nothing remarkable in this, as few persons write by the merchantmen, since the employment of steampackets on the Lisbon station.
