Tti, previitilk?,' topic of interest at the present moment is the sudden depression of the various classes of Stock in the mar- ket. The Foreign Funds and the several c' shares in the multifcirious speculations •which have arisen within thclast few vilars, andeven the British Funds have declined in price to a serious extent, and as yet no prospect of a reaction has discovered it- self. Two causes—the contraction of its issues by the Bank, and the vast extent to which" commercial speculation has been busy are assigned for the decline; and to say truth, either of them is fully adequate to the effect, and both of them combined, cannot but have produced a state of the Money Mar- ket calculated to suggest the most serious reflections. On the one side, the limita- tion of its discounts, to which the Bank is driven by the unfavourable state of the Exchange, must have the effect of greatly curtailing the amount of the available mo- ney in the market; while, on the other, the manifold and extensive schemes of commerce and loan-dealers, to which a fan- cied plethora of wealth gave rise some few months ago, has opened a thousand gaping channel's to draw from the reduced fund. It is easier to describe the danger, and to explain its origin, than to conceive a re- medy, or even a palliative, for the evil, which, to a certain extent, seems to be ab- solutelyremedyless. A favourable Harvest such as the present fine weather promises may, indeed, again turn the exchanges, and thus enable, the Bank to return to a more liberal system of discounting.

We have received New York and Phila- delphia Papers to the 9th instant. The dreadful heat and mortality in these cities continue to be their most prominent fea- tures. Strange to say, it has occasioned a ldnd of Paper war; for instance, the Phila- delphia Aurora of the 2d opens its leading article with the following sentences:— "One hundred and sixty-three, deaths occurred in the city and liberties during the week ending the 30th of July; on the week preceding one hundred and eighty, Our friend, Noah (the Editor of a New York Paper), in noticing this extraordinary mor- tality, sets it forth in capitals, witha string of admirations attached, but forgot to state that during the samo week 184 were inter- red in New York,"

The Rinaldo packet, Lieutenant Moore, arrived at Falmouth on Monday evening last from Jamaica. Sfie brings a report that Cuba had been taken possession of by the French, who have a large naval force in the West Indies. His Majesty's sloop Thracian had been dispatched to Cuba to learn particulars, and the Rinaldo was de- tained several hours to bring dispatches, but the Thracian had not returned, The report was generally believed at Jamaica wJWiJ the Rinaldo left. ■. v-

MAJOR ANNR E.- A pen sketch of a young gen- tleman in a sitting' posture, executed, by this un- fortunate and gallant officer, supposed to be in- tended for himself, has been preserved by an American officer of the war of 177(5, in Newhaven (United States.) It was sketched while he was in prison, a short time previous to his death, and is said to be very bold and spirited. It is about to be engraved a circumstance which reflects some credit on the feelings of the possessor. The new Planet Herschel is now visible in the evening, a little west of the meridian. A glass of small magnifying power is more proper for showing it than a more powerful one. It is not visible till 1, sometimes till li hour after sunset. It may be seen till the 9th November, but owing to the state of the atmosphere, favourable oppor- tunities for observing it will not be frequent. It is stated in an American paper that a Mr. Harris ha-s invented a machine for pulling up the stumps of trees, which is extremely powerful, multiplying the force applied to it 700 or 800 times, which also can be increased or diminished as occasion may require. It is capable of puding out the largest stumps, and can be moved from place to place by a single yoke of oxen it is sim- ple, and may be worked either by men or horses.

SCOTLAND AND IRELAND COMPARED.—Scot- land and Ireland are very nearly of the same ex- tent, the area of the former, with its islands be- ing about 30,000, and that of Ireland about 3l' 000 square miles. Land is of value, however, onlv for what grows on it, or lies under it. and a large portion of Scotland is so destitute of miaeral and vegetable wealth, that the real superiority of Ireland is very great. Sir John Sinclair eti- mates the productivesoils of Scotland at5 000 noil of acres out of 19,000,000, or very little ,nore than one-fourth. In a Parliamentary Rennrf (1813, 1814,) the bogs and mountains of IrKl are estimated at 2,330,000 acres, and.-the arable land at IS, 107,000. The productive soil of Ire- land is therefore to that of Scotland as 31 to 1 — The population of Scotland in 1821 was 2 93 000 and that of Ireland 6,846,000 the ratio is there- fore very nearly the same as in the case of the arable soil. The net revenue of Scotland in 1821 was £ 3,436.64-2 that of Ireland, 'o be in due proportion, should have been 000,003 hut it was no more than one-third part of this amount. The exports of the two countries in J823 were Scotland 9,070.o35, Ireland 8,152,749. The amount of shipping belonging to Ireland is only one-third of that belonging to Scotland, instead of being !hree times greater. The tonna-e of the vessels built in Ireland in 1824 was ontione. seventh of the vessels built hi Scotland.
