Willmer and Smith give tbe following account
of the measure taken to get the government to

Ot Saturday, the 23d ult. Mr. Masterman and
Mr G!yn, at the head of a deputation of LonJon
Hnkers. called upon the Prime Minister, at

to no audience They represented the intensity

ibeir statements produced such effect on tliemind
of the Minister that he promised on the Monday
folluwii.g to ive tbem an answer. Mr. Roth
child t'.ho visited the Minister. When the new
of thrsi! interviews transpired a better feeling in
the city was the result. Consols and abarea
somewhat rallied. It transpired, also, tlat Sir
Robert Teel had arrived at Loudon on the previ
ous evening, and wa immediately called upon
by the Chancellor of tbe Exchequer, The in
terview lasted several hours. Sir Robert Feel
nd his lady the following day went to Windsor
Castle on i courtly visit to her Majesty,' all
which wa deemed highly significant that some
thing important was meditated. On Monday,
Lord John Russell Usued an official document,
recommending to "lbs Directors of the Bank of
England, in Ihe present emergency, to enlarge
Ike amount of their discounts and advances, upon
approved security ; but that, jn order to retain
this operation within reasonable limits, a high
rate of interest should bs charged. In present
circumstances they would suggest that the rats j
of interest should not be less than 8 per cent. . If
this course should lead to any infrir.gment of tbe j
xistinj luw, her Majesty's government will be
prepared to propose to Parliament on ita meet
ing a bill of indemnity."
1'h Court of Directors of the Bank adopted
the following resolutions :
'Resolved, That this Court do aeeed to ihe
reeoQimendation contained in the letter from the
First Lord of Ihe Treasury and the Chancellor of
'he Exchequer, dated Ibis day, and addressed to
the Governor and Deputy (invernor of tbs Bank
of England, which has jut been read.'
'That Ihe m'n:m'im rate of discount on bills
not having more than .l days to run be 8 per
eent, i ' .4
"Tbal advances be made on Bills of Exchange,
on Slock, Exchequer Bills, and other approved
.ecurities, in sums of not less than ?0l)0, and
for periods to be fixed by tba governors, at the
rat of 8 per cent, per annum." ,

About two years since, we fiublian'ed t short

of Danvills, and afterwards of Potlsville, who
moved to Michigsn about twelve years sines,
and now cultivates fine fbrm of about 300 acres
on Prairie Round, near, Schoolcraft. Some of
our contemporaries at the time seemed to doubt
-the accuracy of oai statement." 1 We had almost

cleaner and more carefully, thsn by tbe old me
thod. ' As soon ss the grain ia cut it is thrown

the lop ot Ihe Machine, where it is thrashed.
Tben it is thrown bark on the separator, which
separates the grain from the straw, the straw
falling behind the Machine, and tbe grain on the
riddle, where the fans operate and clean it.
Thence the grain is conveyed to a set of eleva
tors, which carries it up into a spout, to which a
bag is sttached to receive tbe grain.

when in operation, ia mounted with the Ameri

Frequently a half dozen of cairiages were seen
in the field, some having travelled fiom 30 to 40

Mustang," of the Delia, writes, on Ih 13th
October, from Mexico, of a plan, under the au
spices of Paredes, of the King of Ihe Frenrh to
place the Duke of Monfpensier on the throne of
Mexico, if he will produce the signatures of 3.
000 landholders, pledging themselves to support
tbe measure. He says:
"A paper to lhat effect ia now in circulation,
and every effort being made on the part of its
friend to accomplish the objerf. Nesrly the
whole church are giving it their warm support,
and using every means in their power to carry it
successfully through, looking upon it as the only
means perpetrating the interests and influence of
the ecclesiastical body.
"A great many of the Centralista, nf wealth
and strength, who have heretofore opposed the
measure with decision and energy, conceiving
their power and place to be among the things
tbst were, and hoping by this movement to be
shte to regain a poition of which they have lost,
are not only .coinciding witb it, but are lending
it their undivided aid and influence Also, s
of the Conservatives and those of a neutral tem
perament in politics have yielded to tbe project
"The main body of the opposition to Santa
Anna are busy combining all tbe elements of
their forces to a vert the threatened blow, and re
tain the advantages gained over their political
adversaries. They are very seriously alarmed
with reference to the new movements, nd we
are led to believe that they are doubtful of suc
cess against their new competitors "
The Washington ITuion also has a letter from
a gentleman in Vera Crux, disclosing a similar
project, in which he seems to think the English
figure most prominently. .

Tbe dew is spstkling on the flowers,
In the moon's unclouded rsy,
Shining there a few brief hours,
Till by t ephyrs kissed away ;
So is thy love, false-hearted one,
, Blissful or.d sweet, but quickly gone.
No syren's sptlls more deeply charm,
r Than thy soft voice and witching smile;
Who could believe a heart so warm,
Entrances only to beguile v
- the love light in thy soft blue eye
' ' la changeful as the April sky.
I will not mourn, though at il thy spell
,'x Enchants, yet half its power has fled;

i For I have learned, alas ! too well,
' That truth within thy heart is desd.
Like night flowets that in darkness Ijloom,
Thy hesutics rhaim iu falsehood's gloom,
