The steamship City of New York, from Liverpool on the 9th, mu Queenston, 10th instant, has arrived off this point. ‘II‘ei dates are four days later than those already received. The steamship Africa arrived a pool. on the 6th inst. , , Tlie new steamer Ovieto, built for our purposes, had left Liverpool for Palermo. It was believed she would go to Bermuda for an armament, and cruise in the Atlantic ocean as a Southern pirate. The schooner Sophia. had run the blackade at Charleston and arrived at Liverpool with 9,000 bales of cotton. The political news is unimportant. Breadstuffs steady and unchanged.

The steamer Uveito was built at Liver- pool, nominally a war vessel, for the Italian Gor’crnment. She left on the 22nd of March in ballast, for Palermo, wrtlr a crew of 50 men. It is belici'ce she will go to Bermuda. She is built to carry guns of the heavest calipe, measures 7'00 tons, and is reported very fast. Various contradic- tOry rumours are afloat, but they generally lead to the above conclusions. The Suntcr was still at Gibraltar, and the Tuscarora at Algescras on the 3rd. The sloop Kcarsage, after a two days” visit to Gilraltar, left Algescras for the west on the 1st. Parliamentary proceedings are unim. portant. D'Israeli made a characteristic attack on Gladstone’s financial policy and budget. The latter spoke sirong in defence. A general debate ensued, in the course of which Mr. Bentiirck attributed the distress of the country to its inconsistency and inhuman policy in refusing to recognise the Confederate States. t Liver~ The House of Commons adopted reso-. lotion.- in favovr of Mr. Gladstone’s various recommendations in the budget. The question of ironclad ships and boating batteries continue to occupy the attention of the Government. The sliipwrights have all been trans- ferred from the wooden to iron vessels, in the course of construction. A preposition was before the Common Council, of London, to confer the freedom of the city, irra gold box,on Mr. Peabody, [or hit; muniticrncc. The crops of England and France are reported as most favourable. The French manufacturing,accOtlnts also show more animation. LATEST. Rumours assert that Gen. Goyen will not be recalled from Rome. The Italian Ministry had ordered an increase in iron plated ships, The question of brignndagc and the removal of the ex~King of Naples from tome, was debated in the Itatian Chain- bers. Ratazzi said the accounts of brigandage were exaggerated, and that no additional, force was necessary. l‘he Italian Government persisted in pointing out that the grievance of Francis II at Rome. is the source of disorders, and he belieVed Napoleon also shares the con- viction, and perceives the necessity for providing against the continuance; hut difficulties cannot all be vanquished at a single blow. A high military commission was about to assemble in Prussia, to consider the possibility of reducing the military budget. Important changes in the tarifi‘ were reported to be proposed to the new Chambers. The. Spanish Government again neiterated its firm determination to abstain from any demonstration prejudicial to the independence of Mexico. The Danish Rigstad voted an extra- ordinary credit of one million rigsdalers for iron-plated vessels. LATEST. QUEENSTow-N, April 10. The Government has contracted with Messrs. Samuel for. an iron clad cupola ship, under Captain Cole's invention, to be ready for sea June 1st, 1863-. ,_ Experiments at Slioebiii'yness, with a gun of large size, showed that the best and hitherto considered invulnerable forms of iron sides were, so to speak. almost as ‘ easily peneli-ablc by a shot as if the targets had been made of timber. Sir William Armstrong says that a gun oftwelvc tons weight, fired with a charge ' of 50 pounds of powder, will break through the sides of the Warrior or the strongest V ships afloat. A target, like the Warrior‘s sides, was shattered into crumbs at the trial. The ’Izmcs fays no weapon of offence or defence aeems left to us so effective as large armor-clad ships, and very swift steam rams.

The English Parliament continues to dis- cuss the Monitor affair. ‘ There was great activity in the English dock yards. lt is said the French army is to be re- duced. Instead of 100, 94. regiments of infantry are to be retained ; 5‘ regiments of cavalry are to be struck off. Rumour sn 's that the relations between England, France and Spain, relative to Mcxrco, are unsatisfactory. NeWs, generally, important. Spain maintains Gen.

PERSONS engaged in , mercantile pursuits generally endeavor topur-v chose their goods in the cheapest market, and to sell in the dearest. In the ordi‘in-a‘ryr'course of‘busiiiess this rule is - considered perfectly legitimate, and quite consistent with integrity and,,upright dealing. But when :the vendor purposely conceals some seri__ous,b2einisli. in the articlebe sells in order to, ob- tain a piice in excess of" its real value, or takes undue advantage of the ignorance .br credulity of his customer. We would at once" begin: purpose. Nobody; can .reasonanly find fault with a merchant for ask- ing ever so high a price for that which is his own; if his terms of sale are,_fairly and fully stated.â€" The intending purchaser, unless he consider the article worth the sum demanded. is not forced to buy,â€"-- The mere fact, therefore, of asking a high price is a matter of very little consequence; But if the price he definitely stated, and after the bargain is completed we find to our as.onishiircnt that by a deceptive mode of weighing or measuring we 'are made to pay double the amount agreed upon, we would naturally be disposed to regard the transac- tion as fraudulent. A system of money-lending, however, is extensively carr ed on ii: Canada, by certain incorporated institutions style-d Building Socie- ties, whoso practices are very simi-L. far to this slipposed case, and, we think, alrnOst equally deceptive.» These societies prOposc to pay the highest rates of‘ interest to deposit- ors; from 12 per cent upwards be- ing quite common. ,Of course in order to make the buainess profit- able the borrower musr pay a much higher figure. The followrng ex-- tract, taken, from the publishi'd prospectus of one of these institu- tions‘ Of high standing,.gives a fair idea of their average dividends: ” As an instance, it may be mentioned that the‘ Farmers’ and. Muclianics’ Building Society. of which the “ Canada ’ is the successor. paid to its shareholders air accuiiiulalcd dividend equal to 151er cent per all'lllln compounded half yearly for eight years consecutively.” , Now, strange to say, while pay- ing these enormous dividends, the) actually offer to lend money on mortgage at less than 7 per cent.â€" To the uninitiated it appears ex- ceedingly strange that more than double the sum should be paid for money deposited by shareholders be same money lent. out to others. To ltlie unfortunate borrower the mat- ter becomes plain enough, although it frequently happens that tho Wis- dom gained by practical experience comes too late, and costs-too clear. A farmer finds himself in need of money, either to pay off his debts, or to make improvements. He goes to arcspectable buliding so- ciety rather than apply to lawyers or brokerspof whom, as a class, he may not entertain the most favor- able opinion. He finds among ,tlic IlSl'Of directors the names of ‘mcu whose character for lionrrsly to lose confidence in his honesty Of" l l t and uprightncss is beyond a doubt, and he! feels the fullest confidence that ,lie.;;will.b.e fairly dealt with:â€" He wishes to know, th terestfcharged, and is probably in- Harv-L W‘su‘ ' A Grammar Schools. “.4 The 'follow'iiiggtable will-"give ‘our e rare of in- readers an idiia “of the” state of the Grammar Schools in these United formed byyihc..obliging secretary, Counties and at the same time thatit is about 7 'per cent ; and the privilege‘bf repaying ‘ the dteb't’by monthly or quarterly instalments, is held out as a peculiar advantage. For we are informed in the pros- peCtus already referred to, that * no individual iimrtgagce would accept’ the Small‘periodical payments in» which loans are repaid to this so- cicly‘. He does not consider the percentage at all unreasonable ;. and in view of his necessities it may to him be worth far more. , He bor- rows $1000 for 4 years,imd gives a mortgage on his farm as security. The four years’inlcrest is added to the principle, and the ' amount. ($11,280) is divided by 48â€"if the- payii‘ienls are to be monthlyâ€"and the sum thus indicated is paid in every month until the whole is paid up. As" tbexjnstalmcnls' are paid in advance, the first one is deducted from the, principle; so that in reality the borrower doesznotsrcccivc $1000.. but llllS:..§\l‘ltn, minus tlie’first install-f ment. ,oif,‘f‘afx)uh;.«$973.34. "Eyery month h’c"flcOntinues._,to. pay in $26.661ill the end oftlre four years. or rather till the end of 3 years and 11 .mivnths, for the last pa-yrricnt willi made one month beforeit-lre- end oftlre. time. .The debt decreases regularly every Vi‘nonlli, wlrile- in} terest is charged on the whole sum for the entire period. At. the ex- piration of two years $686.50 will have. been repaid, while interest is still charged on $1000. Thus it 'will be seen that the borrower ac- tually pays for the use of money he has never received; for what he has already returned as Well as what he retains; and he likewisel pays a month’s interest after the en- tire debt is liquidated. After in- vesting his loan in such a way" as to yield a handsome profit over and} above the interest. he thinks. he is paying,he is astonished to find him- selfunable toyineet his payments. lnstead of burrowing money, as he was led to believe, at the reason- able rate of 7 or 8 per cent, be dis- covers to his sorrow that he pays. 16 or 18 per cent at least. Hund- reds have in this way become bank- i'upt,ivlio would never have thought of borrowing rnoncyfrom a buiid- lug society lrad they known before.- liand the enormous interest they would be-ireqiiired to pay. We might n'a'mo'a‘dozeu at least, who, from this cause. have been entirely ruined ;.who,. after years of indus- try andtuil, have seen their pro- perly sacrificed and themselves re- duced to t'ant. This is a.- {Halter that calls loudlyl for legislative interference, and any of our representatives who will come forward bOldly and endeavor to remedy the evil, will confer a real benefit on the community, and save many a-‘wortliy man from be- ing involved in hopeless embarrass- ment. We. would not urge. a word .of objection against allowrng building societies to ask as high a rate as they think proper, provided the actual percentage be fairly stated. But they should be required by law, one 'of the conditions of their charter, to, publish a plain and lucid statement of their terms, with a full explanation of the rate per cent -pcr».annurii, that money boi- rowed on these terms will coSf.â€"â€" We would strongly recommend the consideration of the subject to those members of the Legislature who advocate a restoration oftlre Usury Laws. .g-‘_ Whitchurch Council.

WES'l‘ TORONTO ELECTION. ‘ ms: TOTAL MAJORYI‘Y 527! _ It"er Monday’s Leader. The election in the \Vestei-n Division of '1‘orosito concluded on Saturday at five o‘clock, when the majority of Hon. 3. Bi“ ‘ Robinspn’oiver Mr. Bowes was 52'7â€"the total vote being 1071 for Robinson and 5441px: Borneo. 'I'he'iote on Saturday- was light, Mr. Robinson’s success having been placed beyond a doubt on Friday evening, neither party made any exertion- ,_ to bring electors to the polls. There was no excitement of any kind, and the day passed off quietly. with the exception ofa slight afi'ray which occurred in the usually peaceable \Vard' of St. George. Two- hot-headed par-lizans got into a dispute, which soon! ripened into blows,bu‘t thew. lice put an- end to the scufile before either oftlre combat-ants received much injury. In all the other wardsgood! order prevail. ed. The whole vote polled, 1615, was much less than that recorded at the gen- eral-election in July past, when M r.Robin- son received 1140' and Mr. Wilson, his Clear, Grit opponent, 8861, giving. him a majority of 264., pm this falling off was doubtleSs. owing" to tliei‘" immense infr'jo‘rrt y " gained by Mr. Robinson over M r. i-iowes 0l11119’f11'3i. day, which made the contest so far as the friends of thelatter are concern- ed, a hopeless one. and caused both sides to relax lh'lllell' efforts to bring out voters. (hi the firSt d’ny ol'ithe election, however", .more votes were pulled: than on the first :day of the July contest, when the vote ' stood th':s:-~ Robin‘sonflO‘Ir; \b’ilsonJ-i 1:3 ‘â€"â€"Tol~al, 3319. On 'l.‘lrn‘rsda‘-y last- when the polls closed, 843 votes had been re ceiVe-d by Mr. Robinson, aiid :32? by, Mr. Borves, making a total of 1367. This shows that if Mr. BOWes had continued the contest. a. full vote would have been polled. It is satisfactory to know that several hundred of Mr”. Robinson's friends romaine-d u-npolled, and had the llt‘c”SStl)’ arisen would have recorded their votes in his favor. The defeat of Mr. Bowes a most humiliating one, and supporters of the Government may ‘vveb rejoice for it has overthrown Clear.
