FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. j
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Constitutioncl announces the intended disso- I lution of the society got up for the express purpose of promoting the cause of Louis Napoleon. The president, vice-president, and secretaries, are his most devoted private friends. Aniong the leading members are his Aides-de-Camp, his secretaries, and physicfan. The avowed object of the Association was the re-establishment of the Empire; and it is said that a great portion of the funds of the Club came from the private purse of the President and from the funds of the Minister of the Interior. The Association had branches in all the principal cities of France, which made it their business to agitate the country, and to get up petitions in favour of Louis Napoleon. Its approaching dissolution is, therefore, considered as an indication of conscious weakness on I Y"Oo. the part of the President. M. Gent, member of the late Constituent Assem- bly, was, on Thursday week, arrested at Lyons, on a charge of participation in a plot for a revolutionary movement. The plot is said to have been discovered in consequence of the seizure of a number of docu- ments which contained the whole account of the intrigues of the Red party in the departments of the East and West. A nocturnal meeting of revolu- tionary chiefs was-but for this untoward discovery- to have taken place in a few days at Lyons. It is further stated that ramifications existed in Geneva and London. An insurrectionary movement seems likewise to have been contemplated in Paris on the 20th of November, the day before the opening of the Assembly. A similar movement was in preparation in the department of the Var, Besangon, Avignon, Toulon, and Marseilles. Several other persons been have been arrested both at Paris and the Pro- vinces among others an actress who had been the medium of communication between the parties. The Couucil of Ministers met on Saturday to deli- berate on the question of Schleswig Holstein. Imme- diately after, the Minister of Foreign Affairs had a long interview with the British Ambassador. The Russian Charge d'Affaires had also an interview with Lord Norbury, after which an extraordinary courier was dispatched for St. Petersburg. The general be- lief in Paris is, that notwithstanding the warlike character of the news from Germany, the peace of Europe will not be disturbed, and that Prussia will henceforth abstain from fomenting the Danish and Holstein quarrel, as she had hitherto done. A provincial paper alleges that the following sums are paid monthly by the Elysee to different journals -Pays 15,000f.; Patrie and Constitutionel, 10,000f. each Iloumir Monitcur du Soir, 5,000f. each. If this be tine, Louis Napole(n pays 45,OCOf. per mOl t'l to the Paris papers alone, being at the rate of £22, 000 sterling per annum. Besides this, the same pa- per says that the Eyleese pays 30,000f. a year to M. Granier de Cassaignac, who writes both in the Con- stitulionel and Pouvoir and adds that the question was not only brought before the Prorogation Commit- tee, but that at the same time, a number of Pays was produced in which the re-establishment of the Em- pire was strongly advocated, with an intimation that it had been extensively c'irculatd among the troops. The paper has since been prohibited in the barracks. The National Italian Committee sitting in London consisting of Eizini, Saffi, and fonr others, has pro- mulgated a plan for raising a loan of 10,000,000f., to be devoted to the use of the national cause in the "in- evitable struggle which is announced. GERMANY. The intelligence from Germany is of a warlike character. At Cassel itself the status quo was un- changed. The cholera had spread in the barracks, and, on Sunday, at midnight, the troops received orders to leave Cassel for Hanau, where they will be in a position to join the Bavarians and Austrians as soon as they enter the Electorate. The officers of the Hessian army have drawn up an address to the Elector, declaring their undiminished attachmeut to him, although they had been compelled to oppose the measures of his Ministry. The removal of the State Treasury from Cassel has been determined on. The arsenal has been emptied of all its military stores. Advices from Vienna, of the 23rd ult., state that on the receipt of the last despatches from Berlin, a Cabinet Council was held, at which it was resolved to concentrate an army of 150,000 men 60,000 men will be concentrated in the immediate vicinity of Vienna, and marching orders have been sent to the divisions in Italy and Hungary. The artillery will comprise 240 pieces of heavy ordnance. The ships stationed at Trieste, have been sent to Ancona to take troops on board. The Vienna Bourse is in a very depressed state, the funds having fallen from 1 to H per cent., and a great run having taken place for gold and silver, which had become scarce in con- sequence. The Munich papers of the 22nd state that General von de Mark and Colonel Hess had re- paired to Vienna, to attend the military conferences in the Austrirn capital. An order had been issued at the War-office for the purchase of 1,660 horses for the cavalry and the artillery. On the other hand the Prussians are moving into the Electorate. The divi- sion at Weltzlar under Major-Geueral Bonin, has 1 been ordered to unite with the corps near Eisenach. These troops, in virtue of the convention with Hesse Cassel, are to pass by the military road through Alsfield, in Ducal Hesse, and Hertzfeld, in the Elec- torate, and to take up a positiou with their left lean- ing towards Erfurt, and their right near Eisencah. The amount of the different corps ready to act is stated at upwards of 60,000 men, capable of being more than double in less than ten days. A detach- ment of 3,000 Prussian infantry arrived at Eisenach on the 22nd, and 9,000 men of all arms on the 23rd, to join the 7th corps d'armee, under the orders of Lieutenant-General Count Groben. The Oesterreich- ische Correspondent, a ministerial Paper, states that the Emperor of Austria is likely to take the chief command of the federal army, and that a most impo- sing force is being placed on foot, which is to be joined by part of the victorious Italian army. The command of the Prussian corps d'armee of the Rhine has been given to the Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, who holds a commission as Lieutenant-General in the Prussian army. Notwithstanding all this, however, the Hanau Gazette states that no collission between the Great Powers of Germany was considered proba- ble. It adds, on what it considers good authority, that Austria and Prussia had come to an understand- ing with respect to Electoral Hesse, and that the Elector was to promulgate a new electoral law, and to invoke two new Chambers. On the contrary, the Cologne Gazette, of the 29th Oct., contains an article, dated Berlin, 2d, in which it is said :— A Cabinet Council was held this morning to con- sider, it is said, the bearings of certain despatches which have arrived from Warsaw. It is stated by the well informed, that the contents of these des- patches aTe by no means favourable to Prussia, and that the proposals of Count Brandenberg have met with but an indifferent reception. The free con- sultations, as proposed by Prussia, have been de- clined, and all negotiations referred to the established treaties of alliance. There can be no doubt, however, that the orders which General Grobin has received to attack and repel the Bavarian troops, if they should enter Electoral Hesse, remain in full force. DENMARK. Two skirmishes have taken place at the outposts one near Humilfield, seven or eight miles west of Eckerndorf, the other near Kroppe. General Hahn has been sent to Holstein with a despatch from the Prussian Government to the Statthalterschaft. It is believed that he has instruc- tions to urge the necessity of putting an end to further effnsion of blood and destruction of property, by an armistice, upon the condition of uti possitetis, should Denmark acceeds to the proposition. A meeting of Holstein Prelates and landholders has addressed a declaration to the German Govern- ments, expressive of his earnest desire for peace, The landholders in Holstein begin to find the burdeus of war almost beyond their power to bear. The ratifications of the treaty of peaco with Den- mark were finally exchanged on the 26th ult., at Frankfort, between Count de Toun, on the part of the Federal assembly; and M. de Bulow, upon that of Denmark. All German States are therefore, at peace with Denmark, except Cobourg and Nassau.

JF JI AN KIND are liable to one disease more than another, or if there are any particular affections of the Human Body we require to have a knowledge of over the rest, it is certainly that class of disorders treated of in the New and Improved Edition of the "SILENT FRIEND." The Authors, in thus sending forth to the world another Edition of their Medical Work, cannot refrain fom ex- pressing their gratification at the continual success attend- ing their efforts, which, combined with the assistance of Medicines, exclusively of their own preparation, have been the cause of mitigating and averting the Mental and Phy- sical miseries attendant on those peculiar Disorders; thus proving the fact, that suffering humanity must always derive the greatest advantage from duly qualified Members of the Medical profession, adopting a particular class of disorder for their exclusive study in preference to a super- ficul knowledge of all the diseases that afflict Mankind.

It shows clearly the manner in which the baneful consequences of this indulgence operate on the economy in the impairment and destruction of the social and vital powers. The existence of nervous and sexual debility and incapacity, with their accompanying train of symptoms and disorders, is traced by the chain of connecting results to their cause.

ANOTTTFIU MURDER IN TIPPEItAHY.- A n inquest has been held upon the body of Thomas Martin, a young fanner who was barbarously murdered near Temple- more. His offence was that he took some land which had been a long time lying idle, but from which the preceeding occupier had been evicted for non-pay- ment of rent. The murder was committed in open day. A man named NViii. Kenua entered his house, and with a spade dashed his brains out as he was lying in bed, while another watched at the door; Kenna has satisfactorily identified, and is committed for trial. The deceased's brother, who lived near to him was beaten on the morning of the mu'der, as I also his wife, it is supposed by the same party. THREE HUNDRED DAYS OF INDULGENCE, GRANTED BY S. S. PIE IX. TO THE FAITHFUL WHO PRAY, ESPECIALLY, FOR THE CONVERSION OF ENGLAND TO POPERY.- The following specimen of Popery is from La Feuille du People, and the translation is as fol- ]ows << We find in an Italian newspaper a most curious piece; it is sold at the door of some churches in the Roman State.-Live Jesus! Live Mary! Pray for the conversion of England Almighty and eternal God, thou who hast put the salvation of man in the true faith, look down mercifully upon England, which was formerly a nursery of saints, and which is, since a long time. in the slavery of pitiful heresy, and groaning under the yoke of error; chase from her the darkness of ignorance, destroy a pernicious doctrine, and bring the spirits to the obedience of a reasonable and true faith, so that they may enter into the bosom. of the Holv and Mother Church. Per Christum clominum nostrum, etc. ainsi soit-il. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for England, &c. N.B.S. S. Pie IX. has granted 300 days of indulgence to the faithful who pray, especially, for England." FATHER OAKELEY AND THE POPE'S BULL.Father Oakelev has addressed a letter to the Morning Post in justification of the Pope's bull for mapping out England into Romish bishoprics. The chief reason he dwells upon is the alleged increase of Catholics within the realm during the last few years. He asserts that the Catholic population of London is 170,000; that one-third of the inhabitants of Liver- pool, and one-half of those of Preston, are Papist, and that the number in other large towns is also very great. He represents his own labours in Islington as so overwhelming, that he has no time to aim at "conversions;" notwithstanding which. accessions of converts are continually being made. Hence, he argues, that England ought no longer to be treated as a "heatlten" country, but that the actual state of her Catholic population is such as to justify a more settled organisation. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND THE POPISH BISHOPRICS. We publish the following official letter, with refer- ence to the steps recently taken by the Pope. It was addressed to a gentleman in Exeter:- "Sir,—I am directed by Lord John Russell to in- form you, in answer to your question whether a list of Roman Catholic prelates contained in a newspaper is correct, that he has no other means of judging than you yourself—namely, by reading the bull of the Pope- in the newspapers. To the second question, Whether the creation of the above Popish bishop- rics, or the appointments thereto, have received the sanction and approbation of her Majesty's Ministers ? 1 am directed to answer that they have not received such sanction and approbation. I am directed further to state that Lord Minto, when in Rome, was not consulted onthis measure, and never gave any coun- tenance to it." P. W. GREY." MERTHYR.—LECTURES ON TRANSPORTATION.-Two evenings this week a Mr. Cockney gave lectures, in well-attended rooms, on the Evils of Transportation. The lecturer appeared to have but one object in view —that of placing the hardships and miseries of a convict's life before his andience from the moment of his embarkation to his landing and sufferings, and thus showing the evil-disposed, the horrors, and cru- elties which are sure attendants on crime-and the fearful life they are in danger of leading by persever- ing in courses which tend to their ruin. In this object he was very successful, making a great deal of inter- est amongst his audience and when the lecturer finished, we think that there was scarcely a person in the room but who sympathised with the convict and lamented his fate. The picture, so skilfully drawn, was not highly coloured, but true in every detail, and we doubt not it will have a strong ten- dency in curbing the vice of the depraved of the rising generation. Mr. Cockney is a gentleman who has himself experienced the rigours of transportation -passed through all the hardships he described, and is consequently one whose truthful lectures must have great effect, in every town he visits. We wish him well in his noble object. FORTUNATE DISCOVERY. — A few days since, a countryman, with an umbrella under his arm, entered Bristol, and with rapid strides proceeded to the Post- office, where he presented an order, and having re- ceived payment, he placed the cash carefully in his pocket, left the office and disappeared. A short time after he entered the lobby and in a piteous voice requested to know if the clerks had heard of a zC5 note having been found, as he had lost the one re- ceived in payment of his order. They intimated that it may still be in his pocket (where he said he had placed it) and then witnessed his anxious but unsuc- cessful search. He was about leaving the place in despaire, when one of the clerks suggested that it might have fallen into his umbtella. With a smile of incredulity he mechanically pushed the spring, and with trembling hand grasped a piece of paper lying within the folds, which on being opened, proved to be the identical S5 note. I'ze got him—I'ze got him,-thanks-many; hanks, said the poor fellow, as he threw a graceful glance all the occupants of the office, and, tucking his umbrella under his arm, went on his way rejoicing."—Bath Journal. FOREIGN CORN.—The act of the past session of ( Parliament, 13th and 14th of Victoria, cap. 95, t contains a section which declares that, from and after the passing of the said act, no allowances on account of damage sustained during the voyage 1 shall be made on corn of any kind on importation t into this country from foreign parts. In addition N to allowances for damage, it has been customary t to make allowances on t, foreign corn in the mea ( surable quantity on account r, of the heated state of the grain at the time of its being shipped, which j allowance for heat was separate and distinct from 1 actual damage, and was even sometimes granted ( in both cases, where it could be satisfactorily i shown, as required by law, that the grain had actually been shipped in a heated state, and had also sustained damage to a greater or lesser extent by bad weather experienced at sea. in conse- quence of this distinction having always been admitted, application has recently been preferred at one of the outports to the authorities for an allowance to be granted for heat on a parcel of foreign grain, notwithstanding the enactment con- tained in the new act above quoted but it has been ruled that the intention of the act 13th and I4th Victoria, c. 93, was to discontinue allowances for anv increase on account ot heat ot the measur- able quantity of corn on importation from foreign parts as well as allowances for actual damage sustained during the voyage, and that therefore neither of those allowances can any longer be made. STATE ENCOURAGEMENT OF ART.-All eminently civilized states, from the Pharaohs or Semiramis to the present dav, have devoted much attention to the public cultivation of the Arts. What should we now know of Egypt, but for its public monu- ments ? How much glory have the Arts not added to Greece, notwithstanding its finished literature ? How much glory have the Arts added to Great Britain ?-We know not what Greece did after the Persian war; its Arts seems to havelraised it as it were by enchantment to an almost un £ P~ proachable grandeur; a single one of its public monuments, the Olympian Jupiter, was for many hundreds of years visited as one of the wonders of the world; and even now Elis, after thousands ot years, is, we may almost say, the envied of the world for its achievement of this single work, a source of joy and wealth while it endured, and of I-lory for ever. Now let us turn to another pic- ture England too, after its great war, determined to commemorate its victories likewise this was done in the shape of some dozen marble monu- ments to its admirals, generals, and statesmen, in the Churches of St. Peter and St. Paul; and the British public, who have already paid for the monuments, are allowed at certain times to look at them upon the payment of an additional few pence per head, to defray the expense of the show- men a proceeding truly unworthy of a great nation? THE FRENCH FLEET.—The unusual appearance of a French Fleet in one of our Southern ports was com- municated to the Times on Wednesday week by a correspondent at Torquay:—The 1'rench fleet, con- sisting of si$sailing vessels and one screw steam vessel, anchored in Brixham lload on Monday be- tween two or three o clock. On 1 uesday the fleet vessel, anchored in Brixham Road on Monday be- tween two or three o clock. On Tuesday the fleet II was still at anchor about two miles from Berry Head. Captain Storey of the Coast Guard Service, boarded the Admiral's ship and ascertained the fleet were from Cherbourg, and bound to Brest and that they put in from Stress of weather," although the wind at the time was due North and moderate. The fleet consisted of the Friediand, 120 Valmy, 112 Henri IV, 100; Jemmapes, IOU; Inflexible. 100; Jena, 90 and a steam-sloop. The fleet took its departure on Wednesday. The steam-frigate went out in the morning, and is supposed to have gone to Dartmouth; as soon as she hove in sight on her return, at three o'clock pill. the ships got under weigh. The French Admiral very kindly allowed all who applied, per- mission to go on hoard, and numbers availed them- selves of his kindiiChs. HEREFORDSHIRE ELECTION.—Mr. Booker, the Pro- tectionist candidate for Herefordshire, has been elected in the room of the late Mr. Bailey, jun., without opposition. The Free Traders of the city attended the nomination, but although their inter- ruption of the speakers was unseemly, they did not actually prevent every body having his say. After the asual preliminaries, Sir H. Hoskyns rose and proposed Mr. Booker, and Mr. H. Lee Warner seconded him, amongst mingled applause and uproar. No other being proposed, Mr. Booker was declared duly elected. Mr. Booker then addressed the elec- tors at some length. After some passing remarks on the character of the late Mr. Bailey, he avowed him- self a member of the Church of England, but a respecter of the scruples of Dissenters. He knew how to meet the open hostility of the Dissenters or the Romanists; but he did not know how to meet the Romanist tendency of the Tractarian, with whose view, ecclesiastically and religiously, he disclaimed all sympathy. England was a Protestant country, and his opinion was that neither the unbeliever nor the Jew should find admission into our Christian Legisla- ture. Mr. Booker then gave his opinions on the subject of popular education. It was his belief that it was the duty of the State as much to prevent as it was to punish crime, and he believed that the most effectual preventive to ciime was education- not mere secular education, but a sound, moral, and reli- gious education founded upon the Bible. Speaking I with reference to our foreign and colonial interests, the candidate elect could hold out no probability that he should be at all likely to be able to afford any I support to the present Ministers of the Crown. His chief topic, however, was the effect of Free Trade (so called) upon agriculture. I believe (said Mr. Booker) that a more fatal error never was committed than the abandonment of the principle of Protection under which this country has attained to considerable wealth, glory, and prosperity, unknown in the annals of the world. It is from the adoption of mea- sures of so-called Free Trade I affirm that the greatest interests of this country are now groaning and suffer- ing. You have called me forth upon this distinctive declaration, that the present deplorable state of the agricultural interests renders it imperative upon every one connected with them to aid hand and heart in rescuing them from destruction. I have obeyed your call, and I shall lend my best energies to rescue them from that destruction. 1, for one, cannot think that it can be for the benefit of the country that the interest of our domestic agriculture should be sacri- ficed. I cannot see British skill and enterprise para- lysed, I cannot see the British labour thrown adrift, or emigrating as it is in shoals to foreign shores. 1 cannot see British capital swamped, or the production of our agricultural and manufacturing industry placed in an unfair and unequal competition with the pro- ductions of other states, and not feel the greatest in- dignation as well as considerable sorrow. When I see all this justified, because it is said that we are contributing to the greatest happiness or the greatest number"-that we are contributing by the sacrifice of our own interests to the welfare and well-being of the world at large, I, for one, maintain that there never has existed, and there never can exist, in this or any other country, a state of things which will deprive this country, or any other country, of its bounden duty to protect its own interests. I say that charity is spurious and chimerical which would sacrifice its own interest to the interest of the world at large. Mr. Booker read some statistics showiug the progres- sive increase of importations of grain into this coun- try under Free Trade, and quoted the following Go- vernment return of the trade and navigation of the country for the eight months ending 5th September last, of the agricultural articles imported into this country; and also a return for the corresponding period of 1846:- Eight months Eight months to Sept., 1846. to Sept., 1850.

The wages during the former period were from 10s. to 12s. a week, and, they have decreased to 8s. and 7s., and in many parts of this county to 6s. per week. Now, with wheat at 55s. per qr. and wages lis. a week, you can bny three loaves of bread; but with wages at 6s. or 7s. a week, and wheat at 42s. per qr., you cannot buy anything like three loaves of bread, and therefore it does not follow that the big loaf is the most advantageous to the labourer. In answer to a Mr. Palmer, Mr. Booker expressed his determination to vote in favour of a repeal of the existing duty on English malt, and (if necessary) to double that on foreign malt.-A dinner was held in the afternoon at the City Arms Hotel, at which a great number of the friends of Mr. Booker attended. EARL STANHOPE has issued a timely address to the labouring classes of Great Britain and Ireland with the view of shewing those classes the position to which they will be reduced under a continuance of the present low prices of agricultural produce, and of other commodities imported from abroad. His lord- ship observes in his address You would justly feel great indignation if foreign labourers were to be brought to this country, and were to deprive you of employment by working at low wages; but you are still more injured by the importation of those foreign commodities which undersell your own. If foreign labourers were to be brought to this country, they would consume some of its produce, and pay a por- tion of its taxes, but even this is not the case when foreign commodities are imported." This is striking home, with the argument, in the exchanges made between two countries, in order to estimate which way the balance falls, recourse must be had to adjust- ment of the labout contained in each; and if the country which exchanges a certain amount of pro- ductions for others which can be produced with equal facilities at home, although requiring a greater amount of labour, it is exchanging money value for productions that tend to destroy labour value in its own country. It is the destribution, and not the destruction ot the labour value of a country that creates national wealth the encouragement of the II lattrr principle may increase the wealth of a few, but it is only by practically carrying out the former that the prosperity of the many can be established. Lour) BATEMAN AND HIS TENANTRY.—Lord Bate- 0 F man, who owns extensive property in Herefordshire, has addressed a letter to his tenantry on his intention with regard to his future relationship. The follow- ing are the principal passages in his lordship's letter: -11 Looking to the changes cidated by recent legisla- tion, I have thought it advisable to examine minutely into'the details of each farm upon my property, as regards rent, cultivation, condition, and management. I have observed with feelings of sincere regret the distress which undoubtedly prevails among a portion of my tenantry, consequent upon the reduced price of agricultural produce during the past two years; and in order to meet it as far as lies in my power, I have directed a return of ten per cent. to be made to all those who punctually pay their rent at the audit to be held in the ensuing week. I have also desired my land-agent, Mr. T. N. Beaseley, to make a survey and re-valuation of every farm on the estate; ind to fix the rental upon such a fair and equitable basis, as is calculated to meet the altered aspect of the times. Upon that valuation I shall be prepared to enter into engagements for renewed occupations with such of my tenants as are in a position to continue in their farms. It is also my intention forthwith to com- mence, and, if possible, to complete, in the course of next year, a thorough repair and re-arrangement of the farm premises and buildings throughout the estate. I shall be able to complete the drainage of Shopdon marshes, and to undertake such other arte- rial drainage snd improvements as may be necessary, upon terms which will, I believe, prove matually re- munerarive. Complaints having reached me of damage done by rabbits, I willingly offer to any of my tenants who suffer by them the permission to destroy them, upon making a previous personal ap- plication in the proper quarter." GOVENMENT ENCOURAGEMENT OF POPERY.—The Roman Catholic Primate of Canada has just died at Quebec, of which see he was Archbishop. It ought to be made public that the British Government has been for many years contributing £1,000 annually towards his salary, and it is expected by many, tha' the Colonial Office; true to its accustomed policy, will administer a like sugar-plum to his successor. Eng- lish Protestants must really be a good-natured sort of folk, to consent to pay so dearly for the whim of their officials.
A DISARMAMENT.
A DISARMAMENT. IF pcace is to be secured by disarming a warlike people, then is the Punjaub pacified. The Lahore Chronicle gives a tabular account of the arms surren- dered by the people in fulfilment of the disarming order. The sum of the various articles is as follows -swords, 43,283 shields, 1734 coats of mail, 4 matchlocks. 34,815 muskets, 1491 bayonets, 1029 spears, 11,573 daggers, 284 jazils, 70 fowling-peices 34 carbines, 18 blunderbusses, 43 bows, 6701 quivers, 204 arrows, 263 battle-axes, 25 pistols, 377 cannon, 55 jumbooruks, 106 sword-sticks, 53; large knives, 8 kutars, 127; ball-cartriges, 4517; cannon-balls, 7756; leaden balls, 131; pouches and flasks, 432; powder, 24 maunds 15 seers. The table also shows ^iiat 956 persons have been punished by fine for having arms in their pos- session, on contravention of the proclamation for disarming the people." The Bombay Times esti- mates this a store sufficient to arm 100,000 men, all savage in disposition and observes, what a mass of outrage such a mass of deadly instrumentality implies! This is true but does the deprivation of fire-arms and edged weapons imply a disarming of the local malignancy 1 We doubt it. It may make the Pun- janb for a time less difficult to hold; but other measures will be needed to consolidate the English tenure of that economy, in the long run, to disarm the border population for that throws upon a per- manent English force the task of keeping back the external barbarians. Of course, such must be the intention but is it politic to accept that arrange- ment. once for all, as permanent? The garrison of a frontier like that of the Punjaub must be a heavy burden on Indian finance the disarmament of the local population will always make them associate the recovery of arms and honour with a Mussulman invasion. The Bombay Times suggests that the arms should be sent to the Exposition of 1851 and at least specimens should be sent of this great sacri- fice to "peace," Would that the senders could accompany the specimens with proof that disarma- ment is a genuine guarantee of peace or that peace itself, compelled by such means, were an unmixed good !—Sjiectator.

TBF. MARQUIS OF GRANBY ON PROTECTION.—At the dinner of the Waltham Agricultural Society, the Marquis of Granby, in the couise of a lengthy and admirable address on the prospects of agriculture under so-called Free Trade, thus alluded to the tax- ation of the country under the new system:—The fact is this, you cannot impose taxes upon this coun- try and at the same time carry ont your doctrine of Free Trade. I care not who contradicts me, I say they cannot do it, and if these are their principles they will sink under them. Oh but," they say. "what we want is cheap foreign bread." Now, is that so ? Are they consistent in what they say ? Quite the contrary; what they want is cheap foreign bread, not English bread. If they want cheap bread if cheap food is their sole desire, allow me to ask why is it that they refused to support the motion of Mr. Disraeli last year, when he proposed a reduction of the taxes that press upon the agricultural interests, and which therefore tend to raise the price of English grown bread ? If that was their sole desire, why did they not support his motion ? Does not the land-tax, do not the poor-rates, do not the highway-rates, do not the county-rates, all press upon the agricultural interests ? and do they not prevent the agriculturists in England from growing food at the prices at which they would be enabled to produce it if these taxes were taken off 1 Now, I maintain it, and I am con- vinced I am right, that their desire is not to have cheap bread and food, but that they wish to extend the foreign trade of this country, and that only; Why, if it is cheap food that they desire, there are many other taxes they should take off. Why do they re- tain the tax upon tea 1 For what can be more neces- sary to the humbler classes of this country than that wholesome beverage 1 Why do they retain the tax upon malt? For what can be so wholesome and so necessary for our working meu as a glass of beer 7 I say, theiefore, that their object is not to get cheap food, but to extend the foreign trade of this country. And again, allow me to ask, what is the difference between a cheap and foreign loaf in place of a cheap English loaf—if you import foreign corn instead of using English corn, the baker may obtain his bread somewhat cheaper than what he would otherwise do, but it is counterbalanced either by a diminution of wages, or perhaps by doing away with journeymen's was-es altogether. But, on the other hand, if by taking off the taxes from English-grown corn you re- duce the price of English bread, the labourer receives the whole of his wages, and luoro than the whole of his wages-he gets his bread much cheaper; and instead of having less employment and reduced wages by competition, he will get more employment and higher wages. The noble marquis, in conclusion, expressed his conviction that it was useless to look to the present House of Commons for justice, and that the hopes of the agriculturists be entered in a future Parliament. It is not a question of Free- trade, said he, it is a question of taxation. It is a question as to whether taxes ought or ought not to exist in this country and if they are to be levied,—- which is nothing more than saying if this country is to remain a country,—if taxes are to be levied, whe- ther they are to be levied upon foreigners Or upon the British producer ? ANOTHER BURGLARY AND DESPERATE ATTEMPT ro MURDER A POLICEMAN BY STABBING.-On Monday George Rouse, aged 18, was brought up in custody at Marylebone, and placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, on two charges of a serious nature, one of them that of a burglary at the house of Mr. George Seaton, landlord of the Dublin Castle, Park-street, Camden Town, and the other with having committed a murderous outrage upon police constable Godwin, 58, S, by stabbing him in several places with a knife. The officer on being sworn said—Between three and four this morning, as I was walking on duty round the grounds by Chalk Farm Tavern, I heard some one coming along whistling towaids me that person was the prisoner. Not liking his appearance. I went after him. I observed something bulky under his coat, which was buttoned. He remarked tome, "It's rather a wet morning;" and I said, It is, and what have you got about you ?" He unbuttoned his coat, and drawing from thence a leathern bag, said it was his own money, which he had worked for, at the same time producing 2s. 6d. Feeling satisfied that some robbery had been per- petrated, I told him he must go with me, when he said, For God's sake don't take me, and I'll give you half." I laid hold of him by the back of the neck, and led him along, and for 500 yards he walked as quietly as possible. He then said some- thing to me but I cannot recollect the words he used, and at the same moment he suddenly sprung up, and I was stabbed by him in the face with a sharp instrument. I still kept hold of him, and we rolled together down an embankment. A struggle then ensued between us, and he cut me again on the ear and the hand. I caught hold of his wrist, and saw the knife in his hand, which was upraised as if in the act of once more stabbing me-the blow being about to be aimed at my head. We continued to scuffle, and the prisoner got away from me. I got up as quickly as possible, whilst the blood was flowing from me in a stream, and I ran after him with my drawn truncheon. When I had got within a few yards of bini-tbe ground being slippery—he fell. I fell too. We both got up, and with my trancheun I gave him several blows, which knocked him down. I hal- lowed out, and my cries brought to my assistance two railway policemen, by whom the prisoner was secured, and conveyed to the station-house. I managed to walk there myself, in a bleeding and fainting condition, and on searching the prisoner, 1 found in his possession three bags, which I now produce; they contain £ 19 in shillings, a crown, 14 half-crowns, 128 sixpenses, 24fourpenny pieces, 15 threepenny ditto, and other moneys in copper. In one of his waistcoat pockets I found two four- penny pieces, and in his fob a jet necklace. Mr. George Seaton, and James Bonnar, his pot-boy, knew the prisoner, and proved that one of the bags, with E25 or jE26, had been stolen from their house that night. The prisoner was then locked up, and Godwin, the constable, left the court in a cab, being much too weak and exhausted to walk. t, LUDICROUS MISTAKE.-—A man near Leeds was sent one day last week, by a neighbouring woman who has lately been confined, with a messuage to the clerk of the church, requesting that she might have the ceremony of churching performed.
