      Akxcdotk op Spilt . —One day , the Duobess de Vernnile , one of Heart the Fourth ' i favourites , remonstrated with Sully for hia severity , alleging that ihe King had a good right to make present * to his m-stresses and nobility . His answer should be eenersily known : —** This were well , Madame , if the King took the money from his own purse ; bnt it k against reason to take it from the artisans and agricultural labourers , since it ia they who support the King and all of ns ; and they would be well aonwnt with a single Meter , without having so auny roueina , relations , and mistresses to maintain . —Gal / ery of Portraits , with Memoir * .

      Weal asd Wealth hot sYHOimtors . —¦ If they ( Ihe political economists ) think that a political institution fosters production and accumulation , or that a political institution damps production and accumulation , they pronounce , without more ado , that the institution is good or bad . They forget that the wealth of the community is not the weal of the com-¦ mnity , though wealth is one of the means requisite to the attainment of happiness . . They forget that a political institution may further the weal of the comttnnitr , though it checks the growth of its wealth ; and that a political institution which quickens the growth of its wealth , may hinder the advancement of rtt weal .

      A ljue > : ed CLKR 0 TMA 5 , in Maine , was accosted in the following manner by an illiterate preacher , who despised education : — " Sir , you have been to college , I suppose J" w Yes , Sir , " was the reply . " I am thankful , " rejoined the former , that * he Lord has opened my mouth to preach vnthout any learning .

      Pioxrs Scbctles . —An Italian . poet , who had written an opera , was so fearful ot taking these liberties , that , in the author ' s advertisement prefixed , he makes the following declarition : — " The words fate , doty , and destiny , which occur in the drama , are introduced merely poetically , without -any serious aeaniap , as I believe in everything which my holy Mother Church has set forth ae an article of faith and injunction .

As it is , he makes no pretentious to devotion . On two occasions recently , when I have had interviews with him , in company with Sir Moses Montefiore , at the Magreb or erening hosr of praver , all tbe soldiers , officers , servants , aci attendants of the palace , were assembled at their demotion in the large antechamber leading into his reception-room , with all the pomp and state of Oriental devotion . The devont Mussulmen were ranged in rows in front of the Imam , and a person

      duly appointed to perform the service chanted certain passages of lie Koran and forms of prayers in a full sonorous voice , that echoed through the spaciou * rooms of rhe p *]» ee . The various prostrations of those assembled , their simultaneous movements and accents , and the deep solemnity of the look and manner of every individual engaged in prayer , had a Tery touching effect : but in the mid 3 t of all this solemnity , ou ane occasion the Pasha made his appearance from his own apartment , walked across the Kali , took no notice whatever of those assembled at prayer , but seeing Sir Moses Montefiore and myself and tw « other gentlemen standing in a corner , he said , in a Joud , good-humoured tone , beckoning with his hand , " Guel , guel" ( Come in , come in ;] and we had to follow him into bis grand saloon , to the manifest disturbance of all those employed in prayer . —Dr .

      THE CHRISTENING . It would be gratifying to know , vhtas taste presided over the adornment * of the ceremonial at the reception of the infant prineeu into the visible church . A day or two previous to the tenth , the Court journals gave us an account of an express despatched to Windsor to bring Tippoo Balb's tiger , -with its golden tongue and ruby eyes , and tbe 3 * elled peacock of the Great Mogul , to be present at the ceremony ¦ wo trust not as emblems of the future character of the illuBtriona Princess . It does cot clearly appear wnat place was assigned to these appropriate ornaments ; but care has been taken to inform the publio that " tbe water in the font , and wherewith tbe royal child w&s christened , oame from the river Jordan , having been sent to her Majesty as a present for this especial purpose . " To prevent , however , any suspicion of relio-mongering , and deference to tbe Irish papists in this matter , " cups , vases , and tankards" are enumerated as

      figuring on the sideboard at dinner , " some of which had enamelled paintings let into them of sacred subjects , hating e-ndenUy been formerly employed in the service of the Church of Rome . " Oar Babylonish Sovereign still uses the vessels of the temple at feaats : there is no reconcilement—no intention of disgorging the plunder of the church . The once-consecrated utensils were huddled amongst heathenish bas-relief * : " here might be seen % beautiful and graceful group of bacchanals dancing round a palm-tree ; there ft group of sturdy Tritons labouring at the car ; then a Venus floating in a shell ; then a subject from the Greek mythology . " Amid this confusion of dissleal mythology , ornaments inherited 01 plundered from " tbe realm of the Great Mogul , " and church-tankards condemned to hold mulled ¦ wines , the Archbishop of Canterbury is skilfully introduced by the Court chronicler : — " Whether the ample and flowing robes of the Archbishop deceived the child , or whether the kind tenderness of manner of the

      excellent Prelate prevented tie infant from discovering any difference , certain it ia that her Roy&l Highness reposed In the arms of the spiritual head of the church with as much contentment as though she had been in the arms of her own nurse . " Voltaire himself never darted a more polished or dazing scoff . To complete this cabinet of curiosities , there only needed " a christeningcake of the most enormous dimensions : round it was a wreath of flowers ; on the top of it a rock , surmounting which Neptune , driving his hippocampi ; and in the car a figure of Britannia , holding in her arms tbe infant Princess Royal ; the whole being executed in sugar , and being & very fair specimen of the confectioner's skilL "—Spectator ,

      WHIG ECOXOXY . Lord Keane hu been a fortunate man . His great exploit in India was the capture of a very strong place ¦ with a very weak door , and he will doubtless have the same good luck of finding a very weak door to the guard-house of the public treasury . Lord Keane did all that he had to do in India ¦ well : his campaign wis short and successful , and he seems to have been not displeased to leave off with the success he had achieved , and to hasten home for his rewards . The question is , not "whether Lord Keane has rendered service , but -whether the service he has rendered is such as to create a claim both to a title and two thousand a year for three lives , aad this at a tiine when Government thinks it right to practise a most minute economy .

      A Treasury order was lately issued to the publio offices , directing that old ink-bottles and almanack frames shonld be saved , and returned by a cart , which wonld call for them , that they might be used again , and that notes should be written on half-sheets of paper . This was striking evidence of a rigorous spirit of economy . " T&ka care of the pence , " says old Richard , " aad tbe pounds yrHl take care of themselrea ; " and ¦ when we saw the case of the old ink-bottles and almanack frames , it seemed to us that tbe publio purse should hardly want guardians , so well able should it be to take cars of itself , according to the reasoning o ' the maxim . Sat lo . ' £ 2 , 000 a year for three lives is asked for the reward of Lord Keane " s campaign !

      We wish some one would calculate the number of eJd ink-bottles and almanack framee in Lord Keane . Let us see how much parsimony is necessary to make up for se much profusion . Let us see to what extremities » e must be miserably penny-wise in order to be a , b ! e to be magnificently pound-foolish . Let us have the computation of the value in old ink-bottles or alm&nack frames granted to three lives , in consideration of Lord Kexne ' g successes . —Examiner .

      THE LETTER OF MR . J . G . MARSHALL TO EARL F 1 TZWILLIAM . The sensible letter of Earl Fitzwilliam , assigning the reasons why his Lordship refused to attend the recent Chartist conference at Leeds , has called forth a long and rambling reply from Mr . J . G . Marshall , inserted in Friday ' s Times , in -which , among other graie assumptions , be ventures to hazard the follo-sring : —First , that the Chartists , apart from the millions who do not coincide with them , constitute " the people ; " secondly , that the Reformed Parliament does not fairly represent the ¦ wan ts and "wishes of the said people ; thirdly , that in Norway , Switzerland , and the United States , ¦ where the Government and the populace are alleged to

      be in perfect harmony , the latter are " universally happy , enjeying the whole fruits of their industry iu a high state of physical well-being , distinguished by intellectual and moral culture ; " and lastly , that as the Lords and Commons are clearly responsible for those dispensations of Providence whereby indiTiduals and classes are often vi » ited with adversity , so- if the People's Charter vrere once made law , idle fellows -would immediately btcome industrious , bid -workmen -would earn as large -wages as good ones , no overstocked markets -would ocsasion a decrease of employment , no improvidence 01 iil-health would produce distress in lkbuuring families , and , to crown all , the Ballot would be a synonyms for bliss .

      > ow , of course , these dogmas are no otherwise deserving of notice than as showing the rank and heartless nonsense with which ignorant multitudes are fortified in their wild impracticable theories . That a number ef simple-minded workmen , deluded by their more pragmatical and palavering shopmates , shonld occasionally tumble up ( as they themselves say ) to have a bit of jaw about politics or something else , is nothing ¦ wonderful certainly . Time out of mind , there have been hosts of apron'd statesmen—the great lights and big--wigs of the factory— -who have always derived a sufficient motive for the invention of grievances , from the facilities thereby afforded for fleecing their dupes , under pretance of gathering mbscriptions to obtain redress . But , that master manufacturers in the station

      of Mr . Marshall , having nothing in common with such demagogue sharpers as these , should unreflectingly commit themselves to the cruel responsibility » f stimulating their confiding inferiors to clamour for a political Utopia which , even were it realizable , -would involve infinitely -worse evils than now exist , does , -we confess , astonish us not a little . It is evident from that individual ' s letter , that he is ignorant , profoundly ignorant , not only of historical experience , but of the elementary principles of human society . Nor , supposing his sentiments to be a fair specimen of those of his fello-w Liberals throughout the country , could there be a stronger reason with thinking men for combining in all directions to extinguish a democratic faction ¦ which seeks to exalt itself upon the ruins of our social fabric

      Just imagine for a moment that their extravagant demands were -worthy of serious deliberation . Overlooking those disagreements among themselves-whereby , ¦ while nearly unanimous in advocating an extension of the franchise , one section insists on Universal Suffrage , and another positively refuses to go so far , let us concede , for m « re argument ' s sake , either that all householders paying taxes , or that all lads having attained majority , ought to possess the right of voting for members ot Parliament Two consequences , we submit , are perfectly demonstrable : —first , that tkis new reform -would by no means allay the clamour for a yet farther extension of electoral rights ; and secondly , if it did allay that clamour , it would inevitably disappoint expectation as regards the well-being or happiness of the lower orders .

      In the first place , make a hypothetical trial of Household Suffrage . Under this arrangement all the married workmen -who occupy an independent dwelling of their own , no matter how small the rent , would have a Tote for a Parliamentary representative . We are entitled to assume , therefore , though there are other elements -which might materially disturb this conclusion , that they would be content But what should we do -with the myri&ds of bachelor journeymen , who , in tbe undoubted exercise of British freedom , might think fit to remain in lodgings ? Why , they \ rould be ntterly impatient of the invidious distinction thus established between themselves and a portion of their shopmates . They -would constitute , accordingly , a new class of grievance-mongers ; they weuld become violent in their outcry for equal rights-, in a word , a further extension of the franchise would be declared to be absolutely necessary .

      Pass at once , then , to Universal Suffrage . Confine the privilege , at first , to males and majors . All the footmen , grooms , coachmen , and out-door servants of the aristocracy—all the clerks , warehousemen , and porters of the merchants—all the shopmen , messengers , and dependents of the tradespeople—all the journeymen , labourers , and " prentices throughout the kingdom —all the fore-mast mariners in merchant service— all the able-bodied aailors in her Majesty ' s fleet—all the privates in the army and marines—all the officer * in the excise , customs , and dock-yards—all the servants of railway , insurance , and joint-stock companies—all these , as a matter of course , must be put in possession

      of the universal franchise . Well , what the better would they be of this ? and -what the better would the country be ! On the supposition that such an enlargement of the Suffrage ware astaaUy effected , any importance now attached to an individual vote would be completely swamped fn the universality of the privilege . What everybody eould give , nobody -would are for . In such circumstances , a Toter would be reduced to tie most contemptible unit in existence . If it be true that a few pounds are sometimes given , to bribe him at present , the difference under Universal Suffrage would be , not that bribery -would be done away -with , but that the price of the voter ' s venality

      Untitled Article

      would be prodlgioMljr lowered in ptoportioa to tbe oommo&neM of tha artiela . Am mattm bow stand , an boned elector may often master spirit to reals * tbe ir aportanitie * of an employer } tat nitii Unitenai Suffrage , his vote would not be worth dttfing to any mm . This conclusion la therefore obvious , that under the proposed unrestricted regime of liberalism , the influenoe of wealth would carry all before it—aye , even with the Ballot—even more than it does now . The Til of private tamperings , ia proportion to their increased cheapness and facilities , would be multiplied a thousandfold . ''

      Ask tbe working men in Am « rica what precise benefit they draw , or whether tbtfydraw any benefit at all , from the possession of the elective franchise f Apart from the occasional fingering of a miserable bribe , the practice of . which in the United States is as common and current as political venality can make it , they toil their six days a week , earn their scanty wages , and have as desperate a struggle with poverty as our uniuffraged operatives at home . Bepublican bribery , as we may take a future opportunity of showing , is the rottenest and most pernicious bribery in existence .

      Then , -what sort of senators should we nave under Mr . Marshall ' s contemplated regime ? Men returned to Parliament without a proper qualification , and paid a salary by their constituent * , would , is all probability , be the purcbaseable tools of any Ministry that might choose to bid high enough for their co-operation or connivance ; and If Parliaments were annual , the fugitive nature of their delegated honours , instead of enhancing responsibility , would furnish only the stronger motive for reaping an early harvest of corruption .

      Neither would Universal Suffrage itself , ot what is commonly so called , be stamped : with , anything like finality . Modern education , which really means modern magic , is working extraordinary changes ; whether they be improvements or not , is another question . Everything would struggle to be upon the move . Connected with repeated alterations in the franchise , it is by no means unlikely that an attempt might be made sooner or later to abridge the term of years heretofore assigned to pupillage and majority . These railway times may presently conduct lads to maturity and to political privileges at ajxteen—nay ,

      eventually , even at twelve . Females , too , patronised by tbe advocates of equality , might by and by grow impatient of their qai « t legitimate influence , and seek to become active Parliamentary politicians , with an alleged indefeasible tight both to vote at the polling booth , and to harangue at the huttings . Pray , Mr . J . a . Marshall , where would all this stop ? What is now called Universal Suffrage , were ft ever adopted , would just be tantamount to universal confusion . Mr . Marshall should teach his workmen sounder principles , and set them a better example . At present , whatever he may think of it , he is only contributing to their misery . —Times .

      HOUSE OF LORDS . —Fbidat , Feb . 12 th . The Bishop of Londok presented » petition from the Mayor and Corporation of Leeds in favour of the Bill for the Drainage of Buildings . He fully concurred in the prayer of the petition , as he believed a great portion of all disease in large towns arose from imperfect sewerage and ventilation . Lord Ellenboeough thought tbe moral and religious improvement of the poor totally inconsistent with their physical degradation , and that it was utterly idle to build churches and school-bouses until the poor man was placed in a situation of self-respect , and had a comfortabable home . He regretted that the Bill was ealy prospective in its operation . In answer to tbe Marquis of Salisbury , Viscount Du . ncan . ion said it was the intention of Government to proceed with the recommendations of the committee for moving additional thoroughfares in tha metropolis as soon as possible .

      The Marquis of Normanjst moved tbe second reading of the Drainage of Buildings Bill . It was but one step upon the subject , and he promised their Lordships it would be followed up by others . The Noble Lord then referred at some length to the prevalence of fevers and other diseases in various districts of the metropolis , which had not been properly drained or ventilated . In the provinces the same ill effects were observable in all the large manufacturing towns , where vast numbers of tbe population were crowded together in badly ventilated and drained districts . The Noble Lord referred to the statistical tables of the mortality , in Manchester , Liverpool , Glasgow , and other large towns , in order to show that ot late years it had considerably increased . It was not his Intention at present to extend the provisions of the Bill to Scotland , although he had no objection to its being extended to Ireland .

      The Marquis of Salisbury said his only objection to the Bill was , that it did not go far enough . Some of the provisions had been rather hastily considered , and he proposed , therefore , that it should be referred to a select committee up stairs . The Earl of Wicklow also thought the measure imperfect in some of its details . Tbe Marquis of Westminsteh supported the Bill , which was tnen read a second time , and ordered to be referred to a select committee up stairs . —Adjourned till next Tuesday .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . —/ Vtcfcy , Feb . 12 . Several bills for amending railway acts were advanced a stage . Petitions were presented , by Mr . Brotherton , for ft free paxdon to Frost , Williams , ami Jones ; by Mr-Berkeley , against tbe Corn Laws , and from the merchants of Bristol against the equalization of the duties on East and West India produce ; by Mr . O'Connell , against the combia&tion ot workmen in the printing trade -, and by Mr . Lockhart and Mr . Ewart , in favour of the copyright of designs bill . Lord J . Russell , in reply to Sir E . Sugden , stated that it was his intention to oppose the bill of tbe Right Hon . Gentleman on the subject of the administration of justice in tbe Privy Council and the House of Lords .

      Mr . Godson gave notice that , on the 23 rd February , he should move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the present state of companies established for the insurance of lives . Mr . Ewart gave notice that , on the 20 th February , he should move for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the treatment of lunatics in the Hanwell Asylum . Iu answer to Mr . Ewart , Lord Palmeustos said it was the intention of Government to propose a reduction of the duty on Neapolitan oil , bat he could not say to what extent . It was also their intention to bring in a bill to facilitate the transfer of goods by document between principal and factor .

      Mr . Hume wished to know whether there was any truth in the report which had obtained circulation in the Indian papers , namely , that the 2 nd Bengal cavalry had behaved so badly during the war in Afghanistan , refusing to advance at tbe command of their officers , that they had been sent bock to Bengal and disbanded —that upon investigation it turned out that Sir John , now Lord Keane , had ordered a trooper of the regiment to be shot without court-martial or inquiry , and that no regular inquiry had been permitted into the circumstances .

      Sir J . Hobhouse regretted that the Hon . Member , upon the evidence of a newspaper correspondent , would believe a British general officer to have been an accomplice of murder under the pretence ef discharging bis duty . The object evidently was to prevent ot bon . and gallant officer , who had served his country for nearly fifty years , from receiving tbe reward to which he was justly entitled . The facts of the case were , that the regiment in question -were commiting depredations on the standing crops of a village , and at the earnest entreaties of the leading men videttes were posted around the fields with instructions to fire over the heads of the marauders . One man was in consequence wounded in the leg , and if tbe man had been shot on the spot the commanding officer would have been perfectly justified . ( Cheers . ) He would add further , that during the whole advance not only was no man punished with death , but there was no instance of corporal punishment having been inflicted .

      Mr . Williams wished to know if the papers which had published these calumnious statements would be prosecuted . Mr , Hogg said no report whatever h » d reached the Directors of the East India Company in reference to these charges . Lord Howick thought the explanation of the Right Hon . Gentleman highly satisfactory . The House then went into committee to take Into consideration her Majesty ' s message relative to a grant to Lord Keane . Lord J . Russell proposed that a sum of £ 2 , 000 be granted to Lord Keane and his two next surviving heirs . Sir R . Peel seconded the motion , and declared that he would not disturb the unanimity of the House with reference to any political questions .

      Lord BowicK opposed the grant / and reminded the Noble Lord ( J . Russell ) of the practice in ancient times of rewarding the victorious generals with a laurel crown . In later times a word from Queen Elisabeth was thought the highest reward that could be conferred upon the bravest and most distinguished of the generals . He thought a large grant of the public money was altogether uncalled for . Lord J . Russell observed that in ancient times a victorious army returned laden with upolla , and the country would be shocked if it had been stated that Sir John Keane had returned to England with several waggon loads of silver .

      Mr . Hume objected to the creation of a pauper peerage , and thought it extremely injudicious to pension a family for three generations upon the public taxes . Such a step tended to degrade tbe peerage in the eyes of the public He also objected on the ground that the motion was not well timed ; they had not the means of paying the debts they had already incurred , and at the present moment there was an excess of five millions of wependiture over tbeir incoffift Sir H . Vivian supported the motion . Mr . Muntz did not think himself authorised to tax those who were yet unborn for such a purpose , although he did not mean to disparage the services of the Noble Lord , or to refuse him an ample reward in bis own person .

      Mr . BaoTHERtoK thought they ought to confer rewards and distinctions op Captain Clegg and those like him , who bad been lastmniwital in saving life , instead of voting large jams to those who had caused a great destruction of li / e . ( H « sr , and laughter . / General Johnson thought it a wasteful expenditure « f the public funds , and would oppose the motion . Colonel Sal wet bad known tbe present Government long enough to learn that thw was tbe greatest possible contrast between their professions out of doors and their conduct in the House . . ' ; , Oa a division , there appeared—for the motion , 195 ; against it , 43 . The House then vent Into committee on , the Custom Duties Bill / and . . Mr .

      . , Mr . GoULBUkN complained that the West India interests bad been treated most unfairly in the proposed measure of Government for tbe equalization of the duty on rum and other articles of East India produce . It was besides a direct breach of faith , because they had been told that there would ba 110 interference at present with the West India interests in consequence of tbe difficulties under which they were labouring . He denied that the measure would be of so much benefit to the Eut Indies as was expected by its framers . ' ¦

      Mr . Labodchere was glad tbe speech of the Right Hon . Gentleman contained so few substantial objections against this proposition . It was evident that it was merely a question of time between himself and the Right Hon . Gentleman . The manufactures of India bad been almost annihilated , although he believed the demand for English manufactures in that country was only limited by their own restrictions . He was quite sure that in a country like theirs , possessing widely extended colonial territories , there was but one safe and rational principle , namely , to treat with equal favour and protection every part of the empire . ( Loud cheers . ; Mr . EwaRT thought all the articles of East India produce , including coffee and tobacco , should be placed upon th « same : footing as the produce of tbe West lndi « s .

      Mr . Colquhoun said if they abolished tbe protection they would increase the commercial prosperity of both colonies . Mr . Hawes said It would also have the effect of increasing the exertions of the West Indian colonies , and tbe result of the application of the principles of free trads would be found ultimately beneficial . Tbe revenue was falling off from the present high price of suc ; nr , and a great objeotion would be raised , throughout the country , to tbe imposition of new taxes , when the revenue might be increased by an honest course of commercial policy . Sir A . GRANT said the West Indies were in a state of transition , and suggested that the duty should be gradually diminished . Sir S . LUSHINGTON would not support any proposition which would not fully secure that country against the chance of the introduction of the produce of slave labour .

      Lord Sandow said the interests of the free labourers hod been completely last sight of . If the measure was carried into immediate effect , it would compel the planters to discontinue the employment of these men . He thought the operation of tbe Bill ought to be delayed for at least two years . Mr . Labouchere said it could not come into practical operation for six months , and be should not consent to any further delay . Sir R . Peel advocated the plan of a gradual reduction of the duty , as otherwise , the West Indian proprietors would have some reason to complain that they had been taken by surprise . At the same time he did not intend to disturb the unanimity of the House by offering any opposition to the present motion . The resolution was ultimately agreed to without a division . The Committee of Ways and Means was postponed on tbe suggestion of Sir R . Peel .

      Mr . Labouchere moved the second reading of the Railways BUI , stating that he would not take tbe next stage for a fortnight , in order that ample time might be given for considering its details .

      TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTHERN STAR . New York , January 29 th , 1841 . Dear Sir , —Not wishing to trouble you oftener than appears necessary , I have not for sometime trespassed on your patience , or the columns of your extensively circulated journal ; but , at this time , having a few facts of importance to communicate ( not exactly of importance to the community , but to individual families ; , I hope you will give me space for the present scrawl . In the first place , I beg to inform you , that the ship American arrived here on the 11 th day of December , having had a very protracted voyage , during which many of tbe passengers were taken ill , in consequence of want ot provisions , < fcc , among whom were — * Bradbury and Charles Kinsey , from the neighbourhood

      of Oldhani ; and John A damson , carpenter , late a resident in Glasgow , who boarded with me , and whom I found necesairy to send to the hospital—a place where every necessary attention is paid them . Adamson is recovered , and now following his employment : Bradbury is fast recovering , and I expect will be out in a few days ; but Kinsey died in a few days after his admission . Lobley , from Bradford , is also in the Pen . sylvania Hospital . Another case is that of ¦ - Brown , from Manchester , who came out in the ship Francis first , arriving here on the 18 th of the present month , in company with whom was James Hudson , of Bradford ; William Ibbotson , of Halifax , bookseller ; and a young man of the name of Colcroft , or Cowcroft , from near Halifax . These persons boarded with me for eight or nine days , during which time Mr . Brown appeared very weak , and kept his bed ; after which , Messrs . Ibbotson and Colcroft went over the river , and engaged a place in which to carry on the business of

      fellniongering or tanning , leaving Hudson and Brown with me ( the latter still in bed ) until the following day , when Hudson removed him to tbe place taken by the others , in Jersey , under a pretext that be should board and lodge with them , which ended , on the morning following bis removal , with Hudson decamping , and taking £ 92 sterling belonging to the man Brown , who may be , apparently , about forty-five or fifty years of age . The case has not yet been brought before the police , but skall be immediately . Ibbotson says that Hudson has , also , £ 42 sterling belonging to him . Time , however , the unraveller of » U myteries , will , perhaps , throw additional light on this villanous and infernal transaction , by which a sick man , in years , has been plundered of every penny in his possession , and left destitute in a strange land . He is now about bring admitted into the Hospital , to live on the benevolence of the public until be is restored to health , or passes out of tliis stage of existence into that where there are no rogues . . . '

      It appears that tbe manner iu which the money of Brown wbb got possession of is a somewhat novel step in the art of thieving . On the voyage it was represented to him bow dangerous it was to have a sum of money by him in his trunks , or otherwise , and was thereby induced to give it up to the safe keeping « f Hudson , who would lodge it in his rule pocket , on the side of bis pantaloons , taking care to stiteh it especially safe , —and it has proved , so safe , that Hudson has gone off , and the money with him , it evidently having been impossible to separate them .

      Political matters appear on the move : an extra Session is proposed by the British Whigs , to enable them to repeal tue Sub-Treasury Bill , 4 c , dec . The affairs in the 1 State of Maine look anything but peaceable . M'Leod is stated to have been admitted on bail ; such is not the fact The moneymougers here , in connection with those of Britain , are moving heaven aud earth to mortgage the States , by internal improvements , < fec ., but I guess it won't do ; Brother Jonathan will settle their affairs one of these days , By giving insertion to the above , you will greatly oblige many of your readers , and the families referred to . I am , Sir , Tours , very respectfully , Peter Bdssey . No . 2 , Front-street , New York , U . S .

      P . S . I nave also just been informed that George Atkinson , son of Robert Atkinson , of Bradford , who arrived here on th « 26 th day of September , in the ship Fairfleld , died this day , in the Lunatic Asylum , to which placa he was taken on the evening of the 27 th instant P . B .

      of the Kensington Union a balance of account due for attending to the business of returning-officer at the election for Guardians . It appeared that the Guardians had advertised for a barrister , and it was agreed the plaintiff should' be employed at five guineas a day . The defendants had tendered £ 260 , and the plaintiff ' s demand was £ 378 . A barrister ' s right to bring an action for fees was questioned ; and the circumstance of striking a bargain for services was strongly animadverted on by the Attorney-General as degrading to the protessidn . The verdict was for the defendants , on the ground that the sum paid into oourt covered the plaintiff ' s legal demand .
