[ORIGINAL POETRY.] I' ii', SONNET. Oh! catch the first wild notes of early Spring Ye, ye who love the woodland's carol haste; Now the far-sail¡;;g tempest on its wing, Hath borne away the gloom that ovorcast Our frowning sky. Nature is joyous now, Oh hear ye not the sky-bird's song on hidl? And from each dark pine's topmost waving buugh, The throstle's loud shrill answering minstrelsy- i The hedge blithely whistles at his toil. Among his svivan banks ill ivy clad, Where he beholds the first coy primrose smile The ploughman sings-Creation now is glad, The mountain brook now laugheth on its way Haste to the sunuy fields, oh haste away.

A ROMANTIC Y OliNG LADY fell into the river and was likety to be drowned, but a preserver accidentally appeared, and she was conveyed to her home.

No." Is he not the young man who live3 in our neigilbourliood 1" No, it is a Newfoundland dog.-Lee(is Conservative Journal WOMEN'S LOVE OF FLOWEIlS. In all countries women love flowers, in all countries they form nosegays of them but it is only in the bosom of plenty that they conceive the idea of embellishing their dwellings with them. The culti- vation of flowers among the peasantry indicates a revolution in all their feelings. It is a delicate pleasure, which makes its way through coarse organs; it is a creature whose eyes are opened; it is a sense of the beautiful, a faculty of the soul which is awakened. Man then understands there is in the gift of Nature a something more than is necessary for exist- ence—colours, forms, odours, are perceived for the first time, and these charming objects have at last spectators. Those who have travelled in the country can testify that a rose-tree under the window, a honey-suckle around the door of a cottage, are always a good omen to the tired traveller. The hand which cultivates flowers is not closed against the appli- cations of the poor, or the wants of the stranger.

"-Literary Gazette. -DigBr.-No man can ever borrow himself out of debt, If you wish for relief, you must work for it You must make more and spend less than you did while you were running in debt. You must wear homespun instead of broadcloth, drink water instead of champagne, and rise at seven instead of ten. Industry, frugality, economy- these are the hand- maids of wealth, and sure sources of relief. A dollar earned is worth ten borrowed; and a dollar saved is better than forty times its amount in worthless gewgaws. Try our scheme,—it is much better than to depend upon bank favors, and a thousaud times more honourable than a resort to bankrupt law.

THE TRUE GENTLBMAN DRSCEtIBED.-What is the gen- tleman 1' "A child of nature." Ay! We repeat it-A child of nature. Not the wild and untutored-not the creature of the desert and the storm, but of the sunshine and the calm. There will be nothing of the studied or the arti- ficially artless, if we may be allowed the expression, in his manner or appearance; he will bold the even tenour of his way, tranquil and unruffled. While the life of the man of fashion is like the canal, turgid and stagnant, albeit adorned at intervals with artificial fountains, that of the gentleman will be like the majestic river, as calm, but full of life, imaging the brightness of the heaven above and of the earth around, yet at the same time adding to their beauty-not wrapped in an unmeaning coldness, but capable of warming to every noble impulse, and fearless in the expression of his sentiments. While the man of fashion will enter a room and depart from it without his entrance or departure being perceived (and hereupon he prides himself,) the gentleman will come and go as quietly, but you will hail his advent and regret his absence, for he has the sense to know that every individual has an active part allotted to him in the drama of life, and that he must not pass through it like a painted statue in a scene-shifter's palace. He will follow the general rules of dress and manner, for he has been taught that to make himself a marked man would put him in a false posi- tion, and then his influence in society were lost. But he allows not himself to be fettered. The man of fashion is a slave, the gentleman afrIM man.-The gentleman will not be ashamed of living in the Regent's Park or New Road,' although the man of fashion will scorn to visit him there he will not blush at being in town out of the season, or out of town in the season of wearing a black cravat when others wear white, or metal buttons when others have silk. Though his manners will be assured, he will not have the eyeglass- effrontery of the man of fashion—he will not look at you more than to recognise whether you are an acquaintance or not-he will reserve his recumbent full-lengths for his bed, not for your aofa-he knows the difference between ease of' attitude and license- -But though you shall at times see him; in an antediluvian attire-that is, handed down to the gener- ation of the .season," from before the vernal rains, or hear him knock at a door in a barbarian quartier, if you look ati him again, you will perceive at a glance-that is a gentle- i man The impress is written on his countenance by nature, not on his body by art. Nor will he be afraid of contradict- ing you essentially, but it will be done in such a manner as convinces you some dear friend has spoken to you; it was only a gentleman, but a gentleman is the friend of every one. This is another difference from the man of fashion: he has tne courage to be honest.—Agam, he does not think it me- cessary to stifle his feelings, or belie them. He is open to, every warm and generous impulse, nor is he ashamed to show it, but he does so calmly. You will never find him giving way to bursts of passion, or to frenzies of grief—but still you will be able to trace in him, when occasion calls it forth, anger as keen, or sorrow as real, as if it were violent- and, in truth, the stillest water is ever the deepest.—Equally removed from the vioience of the vulgar (vulgar from birth or education), as from the stolidity, real or assumed, of the man of fashion, two attributes essentially constitute the gen- man of fashion, two attributes essentially constitute the gen- tleman-hon"ty and independence. The honesty that never wounds your feelings, and the independence that never trespasses on a neighbour. — Court Journal. THE HAPPY FAMILY.—The meal is finished. A short half-hour flies, like lightning, by. The children gather round their father;. in the name of all, upon his knees, he thanks his God for all the mercies of the day. Thompson is no orator. His heart is warm; his words are few and simple. The three attendant graces take charge of their brethren, detach them from their father's side, and conduct them to their beds. Happy father! happy children May Providence be merciful, and keep the grim enemy away from your nre-sides I Let him not come now in the blooming beauty and the freshness of your loves! Let him not darken mdimbitterfor ever the life that is still bright, beautiful, and glorious in the power of elevating and sustaining thought that leads beyond it. Let him wait the matured and not unexpected hour, when the shock comes, not to crush, to overwhelm, to annihilate, but to warn, to teach, and to encourage not to alarm and stagger the untaught spirit, but to bring, to the subdued and long-tried soul its It lesson on the .vanity and evanescence of its early dreams. paJøb Stukely in Blackwood for February. MOUSTACHES AND SMOKING IN THE STREETS.—There is m affectation amongst the vulgar clever, of wearing the moustache, which they clip and cut a la Vandyke: this is useful, as affording a ready means of distinguishing between i man of talent and an ass-as the former, trusting to his jjtead, goes cleanly shaved, and looks like an Englishman the latter, whose strength lies altogether in his hair, exhausts the power of Macassar in endeavouring to make himself as like an ourang-outang as possible.—Another thing must be )bsahred by all who would successfully affe the gentleman: lever to smoke cigars in the street in mid-day. No better ugAxaan you have than this of a fellow reckless of decency inid behaviour: a gentleman smokes, if he smokes at all, where1 he offends not the olfactories of the passers-by. Nothing, he is aware, approaches more nearly the most ifFensive personal insult, than to compel ladies and gentle- men* to inhale, after you, the ejected fragrance of yourpeuny ,'L, I Cuba, or your three-half-penny mild Havannah.—In the cities of Geimanv, where the population almost to a man inhale the fumes of tobacco, street-smooking is veryproperly prohibited; for however agreeable- may be the sedative in- liuence of the Virginian weed when it is inspired from your own manufactory, nothing assuredly is more disgusting than inhalation of tobacco-siaoke at secondhand Ibid.

irHftceUatirou#. DIOCESES OF BANGOR AND ST. As.ipii.It would be impossible to convey any adequate idea of the agitation and excitement which prevail throughout the whole of North Wales and the adjacent English counties with respect to the proposed annexation of the diocesses of Bangor and St. Asaph. The people are everywhere meeting and petitioning against the unholy project, and so unanimous are they upon the subject, that but one opinion seems to prevail among men of all parties from one end of the district to the other. You have already been informed of the influential meeting of the county of Denbigh. The eloquent and argumentative speech of Lord Dungannon upon that occasion has produced a powerful impression upon the public mind. Since thn the city of Chester has met and adopted a petition, whirth now bears the names of most of the principal clergy, magis- trates, gentry, and other inhabitants of the highest respecta- bility, and which has been intrusted to Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P., for presentation to the House of Commons. A re- quest has also been made, that Sir P. Egerton, Mr. Tolle- mache, and Mr. Jervis would support the views of the petitioners in their respective places in the house. Two reasons are urged in the petition against the proposed an- nexation, which, on account of their peculiar cogency, are now being very generally urged. The first is, that the in- creased population of the Welsh dioceses requires that episcopal sees should rather be multiplied than diminished and the second, that it is most unjust to the principality to divert its ecclesiastical property to the endowment of a bishopric foreign to it in territory and language. Whit- church is about to adopt a similar petition. Malpas, and Carnarvon have already petitioned. The Lord Bishop of Bangor has just left for London, where his right rev. brother of St. Asaph has been located for some weeks. The twb prelates have had their attention much occupied with the case of their dioceses, to the consolidation of which they are strenuously opposed. COURT OF INQUIRY.- -An investigation into certain charges preferred against the governor of the county,gaol qf Bangor by a discharged debtor, instituted by direction of Sir J. Graham, was opened in the grand jury-room in the Shirehall, on Saturday last, before Lord Newborough, Mr. J. Rowlands, and Mr. F. W. Jones. The witnesses were so numerous that the inquiry was obliged to be adjourned. NEWS FROM SIR J. Ross,lnteHigence has just been received by Lieutenant M'Murdough, of the Terror, from Captain Sir J.

THE IRISH REGISTRATION BILL.-It is generally believed here that the present registration law will remain unaltered for another session, it being now placed beyond doubt that Government mean to make the rating under the Poor Law the test of the Parliamentary franchise. LONG LEASES.—At one of tJle audits of Sir E. Blount, of Mawley-hall, Shropshire, held some time since, an interest- ing statement was made, which, we believe, may safely challenge the whole country to produce its parallel. A friend informs us that .several of the worthy Baronet's ten- ants were then and there contesting the point as to which of their families could bpast of having rented for the lqngest period on the estate, when a farmer named Allen, who has for many years been highly respected by his landlord, eatisr factorily proved that himself and ancestors had either been in the employ or rented under the Blount family for a period of neatly 730 years — that, in fact, his ancestors had immi- grated from Normandy ¡th that family at the time of the Conquest, and from father to son each succeeding genera. tion had been retained on the estate. This, fact" of the authenticity of which we have no doubt, redounds so much to the honour and credit of both landlord And tenant, that we could earnestly wish to see it generally cmulated, Wort cester Journal. REBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS.—The public are not, in all probability, acquainted with the origin of the strange and novel disturbances that at present exist in Pembroke- shire and Carmarthenshire, and in which Rebecca and her daughters take so prominent a part. The following is their history :—About seven years ago a turnpike-road was made between Pembroke and Carmarthen, with the view of securing a great thoroughfare by it between Ireland and Londbh. The Liverpool and metropolitan railway hasi however, frustrated the object by leaving but 32 miles of road from Carmarthen to Hobb's Point or Milford, as a passage for the mail, which seldom carries more than three passengers a day. yery little thoroughfare else exists along it, as a carrier goes but once a week between, Carmarthen and Pembroke, by which there .is,not money sufficient raised to pay the interest for the capital expended, much less to keep the road in repair. The trustees have the power by Act of Parliament to put up toll-bars on lanes and bye-roadsi and also of throwing the expense of the main road on the parishes k and that power they have exercised, which ap- pears to have excited the peasantry to the late and, contlnqea acts of violence, The tollage upon the rpad amounts, to 12s. 6d. upon each market cart for 12 miles, besides which the people have to keep the roads in repair. Rebecca has already destroyed the St. Clear, Trefechan, Pendergate, audi Pime toll-gates. She also boasts of having an auxiliary; force of 500 men, true and faithful, at Haverfordwest. By order of the Home Secretary, the marines from Pembroke dockyard have been recalled, and the duty of pursuing the malcontents has devolved upon the Castlemarten yeomanry, who in 1798 so nobly distinguished themselves under Earl; Cawdor against the French troops at Fish Guard. FATAL ACCIDENT TO MAJOR CHARLES JONES.On. Thursday, the 16th instant, Major Charles Jones, residing, with his family, at No. 33, Upper Montague-street, Mon- tague-square, was suddenly deprived of life, by the acci- dental discharge of a pistol. It appeared that the deceased gentleman, who had served throughout the whole of the Peninsular war, was subsequently appointed aide-de-camp to his Majesty the King of Hanover, from which he seceded some time since, and about two years ago took up his resi- dence as above. Having received an invitation lately to the Court of Hanover, he was about proceeding to that country, and Saturday next had been fixed upon for his departure. I Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, he took from their cases two holster pistols, which had been loaded upwards of five years, and, drawing the charge from one (being then in his bedroom), took it to pieces and gave it to his man: p ee servant to clean, at the same time laying hold of the other, and saying, I suppose I shall have some trouble with this as it is loaded with large shot." The servant then went down stairs, and shortly afterwards hearing a loud report proceed from his master's apartment, he pushed thither, and reached the door just in time to see deceased falling upon. the floor on his face. Immediately Dr. M'Clean, No. 27, Upper Montague-street, was sent for, who promptly attend-, ed,. and pronounced him to be quite dead. The contents of the pistol, which was a three quarter of an jnch bore, had entered his left breast. There is not the slightest reason to suppose that the deceased destroyed himself, but it is con- jectured, that having placed the butt end on the table (ati which he unloaded the other), and put the muzzle to his breast, he was in the act of unscrewing the lock, when the pistol, from some cause, wejji off. The deceased was very -partial to these pistols, antfnaving lost one it the battle of Waterloo, he, at great risk, sycceded in regaining it. De- ceased was about 60 years of age. Information of the melancholy occurrence has been forwarded to Mr. Wakley, M.P., coroner, and the body awaits an inquest. It has since been ascertained that the major's servant was with his master when the sad accident occurred. COMPARATIVE EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES AND RAW MATERIAL.—The decrease of our exports in manufactured; goods on the one hand, and the increase which, on the other,: has of late years taken place in the amount of raw itiateri&ls; sent out of the country to be manufactured in other lands, may be taken as one way of accounting for the distress and suffering which exist throughoift the country, and particu-i larly in the manufacturing districts. It appears from Burn's: Commercial Glance, that the amount of cotton yarn expprted; from this country in 1841 was ll5,665,48«lbs., and in 1842, 136,537,1621bs., showing a progressive increase in the exports of raw material. In 1841 the total quantity of printed and dyed calicoes exported from England was 278,748,275 yards, and in 1842, 236,012,641 yards showing the decrease in the manufactured exports. The exports of cambrics show a falling off of full 50 per cent. upon a comparison between the same two years. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The shareholders of the Great Western Railway held their half-yearly meeting last week, at which was declared a dividend of f2 5s. each on the original shares, j61 15s. each on the f50 shares, and 2s. 9d. each on the fifth shares, payable on the 1st of March, the income-tax, as before, to be deducted from the warrants. The traffic revenue for the last six months shows an increase of E21,311 16s. 7d. over the corresponding period of 1841. This is stated to be partly ascribable to the additional dis- tance opened between Bridgwater and Taunton, and.partly to the increase which the accounts exhibit in the receipts both of the Great Western and the Cheltenham lines. The number of passengers conveyed had been 869,444, and the total traffic receipt E358,664 Os. 9d. of which E302,084 Os. 5d. was earned exclusively on the Great Western line. The expenses of working have been reduced to 36 per cent., ex- clusive of the amount written off for the depreciation fund. MORTALITY. The Quarterly Table of Mortality in 114 of the principal districts ((including nearly all the large towns) of England and Wales has just been published, whence it appears that the average total number of deaths in the four autumns from 1838 to 1841 (exclusive) was 42,003. The total number for the last autumn was 39,368. The quarterly average for the past year, 40,554. These numbers are exclusive of metropolitan mortality, which for the cor- responding periods averaged respectively 11,861, 11,631, and 11,318. The population in the metropolitan districts was at the last census 1,870,727 in the entire of the districts included in these returns, 6,534,535. Some things in these statements are startling. Thus, while the mortality of the metropolitan districts is in round numbers 12,000 during the winter quarter, the mortality for the same period in Bir- mingham was in round numbers 1,000, with a population of only 138,000. .( "#"4- j CARDIFF FARMERS* CLUB. The monthly meeting of tins club was held on Saturday last, at the Angel Inn, Mr. David, in the chair. The meeting, whether in consequence of the severity qf the weather, or the intricacies of the subject, was rather thin. The subject for discussion was, the best mode of Hedge Row Fencing, which was introduced by Mr. Corbett. Previous to the commencement of the proceedings, thje admission of Mr. E. Williams and Mr. E. Edwards, su< geon, Caerphilly, as membet.s,of the club, was proposed anJi" carried. The chairman announced a donation of jE5 from 6e4. Rollings, Esq. The chairman then proceeded to the business of the dajj- by observing, that from the paucity of attendance, it would appear that the proceedings, apparently, gave much more satisfaction to otharsi than to themselves. They should not, however, be deterred from the discussion of such questions as would come before them by considerations of that nature. There was nothing more essential to their operations, ate practical farmers* than that proper facilities should be af- forded them to carry them out with effect. Nothing coulo more effectually guard against the incursions or trespass of cattle than good hedge-row fencing. Considerable improve- ments had taken place in this branch of practical farming. If an experimental fartrtGr visited England, he would see in many places, particularly in Worcestershire, and many qf the northern counties, that the old fences were entirely swepjt away and superseded by n'lore moderate and efficient ones. There new fences and slopes were made. Connected with this subject, there was another consideration which was seldom taken into account, to wit—the loss of time in- curred in turning on the head land while ploughing. Sir. S. Sinclair, in a treatise on the work, calculated that in field seventy-eight yards in length, a loss of 4 hours and 39 minutes was incurred solely In turning the head land sp that. ultimately, in a field; of proportioned length, there was a loss of, 31 hours in a day's work, which might be sufficient to plough a half-acre of land. The circumstance, he thought, might be incidentally noticed in speaking on the subject of hedge-row; fencing- If firs were desirable in forming th staple in the management of their, hedges, they themselvep, were to-blame if they were not generally adopted: for their, climate was as genial and productive as most parts of Enir land—indeed, quicks grew well everywhere. It could hardly; be expected that a tenant on a short lease could enter upon such an experiment. It was not the Work of a farm tenant; for every improvement of that nature served materially to enhance the freehold value of the land to the landlord and no tenant, auch as he had mentioned, could be supposed to incur such expense. He would aim- plify the matter by referring to faots. He would take tht parish of Whitcburch as presenting, in extent and average capabilities and cultivation, a fair test of his calculation. That parish, according to the tithe commutation return, con- tained 3128 acres* or 776 fields pr enclosure. He would exclude a large quantity of wood from his calculation. He would deduct 420 acres, supppsed to be occupied by hedging, and that would leave, so to speak, a net soil of about 2700 acres, which would give on average alotment of 4 acresi The question as to the size and expense of the hedge, and the quantity of bank jt should occupy, next came to be cont sidered. The old hedges occupied about 16| feet, statut^ measure. If they took his first calculation as fair data to go upon, they would find that the soil of the parish, calculated to be 2700 acres, divided into G00 ifields, would leave in thi parish alluded to 240 acres under hedges. Now, taking th average value of land as worth £ 42 per acre, this wo^ld givo a sum of EIO,000 as the fcost of the ground occupied by hedges alone. He would now consider the amount of savuig by the new fences, which might be beneficially adopted. He would take a farm of 432 acres, which should give him 96 fields of 4^ acres each. In those 432 acres there should beM acresl 3 roods, and,124 perches, taken up by fences; He made his calculations on the supposition that the field should occupy 9 acres. Suppose the new fences on the ground should not occupy more than 41- feet, this would give, in round numbers, somewhat over 7 acres to the new fences; this, upon the wholes would be a Saving of 29 acres from the old fences, and available for the purpose of cultivation, whicn at jE42 per acre, would give a grand total of 1:12,00 as the sum ultimately secured by the new system of hedging now. The rubbish of the old ditch as manure, which the landlord ought to pay.for cutting away, would quite cover the expense of the new hedging-a proposition which; if made; it would be the interest of every landlord to accede to. The most .improved mode of planting firs, was on a flat surface. There was, however, some slight draw-back on the score of expense. The plan would require two rails, but with a small ditch, possibly, one might be sufficient. For a ditch, three feet in width, and two in beighti,quicks, ivire posts, &c. he thought from nine-pence to one shilling per yard would cover the expense. Wires, he thought, desirable; asi by their adop- tion in preference to other modes of fencing, the aggregat expense might be reduced to 9jd. per yard; This, upon a rough calculation, on a farm, of 432 acres of land (9 acre fields), as the expense of removing fences at one shilling pert yard, would be about 11148 so that taking the value of the land under the old system of hedging as E1200, the expense of the new being abont £ 1148, there would accrue to the owner of the soil nearly E 100 profit; which would give him a fair remuneration in soil. The chairman next adverted to the necessity of having fields of a convenient size, such as would prevent the damage from accidental or malicious trespasses; for the cjamage in such .cases was found to bcoore,* frequently dprie near, to the hedge than the suddie bY the, field. It might be thought by some an eutopian scheme, but he for one thought that no greater benefit could be con- ferred on the soil than by removing old fences, and planting new ones. He had a partiality for small enclosures, and he; thought that in a farm of 500 acres, from 9 to 15 acres was a sufficient hedge allotment. After a short conversation as to the comparative fatness of sheep in the open field, or the occasional protection, of a hedge, The following, from the Agricultural Society of Yorkshire, was adduced as an illustration of the best mode of hedging: Mark out the line the hedge is to be in, and dig it over about 18 inch. wide. Make the soil as fine as possible, then plant the wood in, a single row 4 inch. from each other, aud sloping the roots the contrary way to the drain. At 21 inches from the plants, dig a ditch, as in the drawing, putting the flrst .sod 8 inches deep, 8 inches from the side of the drain,, the rest of the earth put behind the plants, and the: best of it carefully round them, only leave about Ij a,bove! the surface. Young plants, about five years old; which have been' pre- viously transplanted from the seed-bed, are the best. Great; care must be taken not to hurt the branches or roots in taking them up, and in planting them. Bushy planti should: be selected, as they have the best roots. The best time for planting hedges i& November. Frosty! weather must be avoided, and the roots should be e-1tposèd i to the atmosphere as little as possible; The roots mu?t be; carefully pruned with a knife. I 1. The hedge must be weeded twice11 a year. May and; August, for the first three or four years and the ground dug over in November. The second year, about half the length, of the young, shoots must be cut .off in November, and continue this every year till the hedge is the size required, after which, August' is the best time for dressing it. Shears. should never" be; used, as they do not cut the branches off clean; nor can it be done so expeditiously as with the bill-hook, the stroke of which must always be made up, never by any chance down. The best shape to form hedges into is that-shown by the red lines in the drawing because there all the extremities of the branches get an equal share of rain, air, and light, consequently, do not die in the bottom as when the top is allowed to hang over and smother the lower branches. They are, too, much more easily dressed, as one stroke in a proper I direction will dress from bottom to top. Laying fences is,a very bad practice, as the layers smother the shoots from the stool, which qught to be the best, and themselves only put out weaH shoots, and die in the course of a week or two.' Dead wood should never be used to fill up a gap, but young wood should be planted, and a Scotch fence made to protect it. The best, neatest, and cheapest fence for protertingy-oung hedges made in this way. First post, four inches thick; second, three inches thick; third, four inches thick; and so on. Two feet six inches long, set at fourleet six inches thick. Rails, three inches by one and put the fepqe about four feet from the hedge, so that cattle cannot reach. I • ■' >*t — t

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—A few days ago two men, j named Francis and Pettit, who went to work at a limekiln ina field at Haggerstone, found there the remains of a human being, who having by some means fallen into the kiln,) had been entirely destroyed by the fire and the lime.

CO'MMONS.- ■ "M THURSDAY. R 1- The s»ftjourued debate on the distress of the country was resqiped in the House of Cnmmons by Mr. Borthwick, wbo /declared himself oppuaed to Lord Howiek't motion. It that noble Lord was aware of,any legislative remedy for the dis^, ,dy fpr,t I tress complained of, vvhy had be mot- as a member of tbe House, and a fortiori as a memhelr of the late'Go verb merit, propounded that remedy long siecot? N»y, .whv didoh* npfc propose it forthwith to the Houae, instead of calling tor a- comnutteel It there now appeared a dawn of* returning pros- perity, nothing would so much tend to overcast it as a com- pliance with the present suggestion. All that the'noble Lord intimated was a desire to advance in the .direction ^f free trade; but ;he and his friends would "oine to no agree- ment at all among themselves about ihe length to which thit advance should extend. Sir C. Napier considered the statements of Sir J. Graham respecting the diminution of mortality in the last year as tending to the extraordinary conclusion, that the more the people sutler from starvation the longer they live, 'He Wgejil a remission iÐ the high duties oil the wines of Pdrlagal, botit for ^he sake of the, ritis": consumer; and as a Accessary con- dition of obtaining from that country a treaty favourable to our own commerce. The distress among the shipbuilders- was, in bis opinion, maintyattrtbatabie to the growth of steam. He called for a reduction of the1 sugar duties, con- OctiAning i the imposition of a general btirden- for the taheof the particular class of Weit India proprietors, and he cea- tended, in a jocular StraiaTufar iteemptomMe OM the corn question, iq the shape-of a ifxed dnty. Mr. CochrMCt !dnfnMing the present distress to be not .I!!¥ than even that off Iti 17, yet scouted the taotion9 thatthe Corn" Law was the only or the maincaus8 of it;, He found on^ dfi its chief causes in the rapid increase ofor population. Hp condemned the tone of the Anii-Corn-Law LeagUe. True,5 they ooty spoke daggers, they used none; but their language w would rouse other and braver men, who would'use siic weapons. > *1 ,^r- Villiers said, the market for Onr produce was bojt' equal to our pOwefs of production..Sir R. Peel admitted the principles which wtiuld Jead to an enlargemwit of that mar- ket, but iitopt short-in effectuating them. It had'beeu urged by Mr. Gladstone in support of protection, that it had existed for centuries, under a succession of <»ftfcn^hanged laws. 'But what did those frequent changes of law demonstrate f Why, that.in oo shape, had the principle sUcdeeUefd. It was the same principle as that of the people in the home counties, who, when it was proposed to iinphovethe roadri, petitioned against the improvement, lest they should lose their monopoly of sup- ply ingthe metropolis. '■ jLprd Sandon enlarged on the advantages of a home trail, as compared with a foreign one. i Gentlemen opposite seme however, to think that the word trade was applicab le- fJrily ,to dealings with foreigners; and wholly fn'rjget that agriculture is itself a trade, and the greatest trade of all. Much was said about tite. probable-" benefit of getting corp from America in exchange for British goods; bat if the corn trpde were thrown open, the supply of grain would corrie hither, not from remote y 11 America, but from the nearer BRItierl, Mr. Colquhoun ascribed our difficulty iu the American, French, and Gerii&n markets, to the high duties imposed there, and quoted eminent comtiierdaf authorities in confir- mation of that opinion. However largely you might tetlk of free, trade principles, you wotil!d not persuade other nations to forego their domestic protections. They would still point'td our success, and continue their fciideavonrs to r!<e by t means to which, rightly or wrongly, they: ascribe the om mercial greatness of England." He eritered into evidencelq show that among the great causes, of the present distress are excessive competition and over production; and he pointed oat. the additional disadvantage sirs tained from that derange- ment, perhaps unavoidable, of our foreign relations ft Inch, during several years of the late Government, }»ad excluded, from many important markets. And now, to compensate' loss of these branchesofcommerce, it was proposed to strike a blow at the borne trade! He wouldresistsuch a proposal, not solely for the sake of the agriculturists, but ais,(i for th sake of the liiantffacturers themselves, Whose goods the home trade at present consumed to the a'mduiit or £ i33,60{j,00Cj per annum. The debate was then once more adjourned. The debate was then once more adjourned. FRIDAY. The House, aRer disposing shortly of the other orders of the day, proceeded to the adjourned debate <jn the distress of the country. Sir A. Lfiith Hay commenced .the discission. Hesaid^ that so far from regarding this motion as an attack on Minis^ ters, be should have snpposedf il he had not kpown theptate, <Jf parties, that tlie floble mover was sM^e member of Goteru-i mett, proposmg to <6fectuate the, recommendations of Her Majesty's speech. At all evenii, it was no auswer to that motion to say that it was brought forward ior party purposeB The Minister ought not last year to have shaken the founda- tions ol all things, if he was unprepared to follow up his own principles. Mr. Mark Thillips said he had jeteived a communication. which enabled him distinctly to refi^e;several charges made by Mr. Ferrand imputing to certain .manufacturers the inhu-j Mun treatment of their apprentices. This Mr, Phillips pro-j ceeded to do somewhat in detail, and added pther instances ø misipftjjpation given to members of Parliament, which ought,; in hijfSpinion, to serve them as a warning against the too! ready Belief of all the tales they heard,. He did not consider the present distress tu have been produced by the disturbing: causes which affected certain foreign markets there would; alwavs be jjuch causes at work in some quarter .of the world* but Lis own belief was, that th« distress arose from the ex-, cessive prices which the. present tawa imposed upon food,; particularly upon corn and sugar. Mr. Darby protested agaio.st the inferences which some,' members drew from SIr R. Peel's answier to Mr. C. Wuooon the subjeet of the Corn Laws. Nothing could be more it-, logical than to conclude, because the Minister had said he did not mean to change them in this session, that therefore1 he meant to change thelff,inithe Ministers* when they declared themselves against any change dunng this tteMton, entertained a pritate intention of making: that change at another, period, be should think them guilty of a deception, and would support them no longer.; But. on the other hand,-he should Jhave considered those ;Ministers.the weakest of men if they ibitd pledged themselves that they. would never make a change under ADY circumstances, whatsoever. tord H. Vane could not support the motion, but gave: credit to the motives of .Lord £ towick in making it. He! commented upon the opioioins. of many of the preceding, speakers, and pointed out particulars in which he differed: from each. Mr. Brotberton enlarged upon the nature and extent of the distress, while fee argued that it was the interest of the landed! party itself ;tq take some measure for removing it, since the poor, when driven to destitution, must come at last upon the land. He was for no fixed duty; that would be a tax of £ 20,000,000 on the people;, bewas. for. total repeal. The' stream of commerce must not be dammed up; it was that: which-made. the Overflow now called overproduction. The landed part; opposed the desired relief, that they might keep up rents. The reined y lay in a wotd-the word free trade. Mr. M. Attwood denied that the abatement of distress! could be inferred from the, documents or indications to which Ministers bad appealed-"fr 'oni returns of diminished mortality, not taid upon the table for general eitawinatiojm-lor froti:in- creMed depoaits. carried to savings1 hanks: simply heeaosei there were no channels in which the poor could invest them with profit. Lord. Howick had ascribed the distress to com-j petition; but competition was the only evidence of distress. Lord John Russell, on the other hand, had always argued; that monopoly was the main Cause of th* tnis~dhie^ and ought; to be Removed lor the purpose of letting in the very com- petition which Lord Howick denounced. The remedy now! proposed by the latter was free trade. For a series of years' the doctrines of free trade had been in course of application in this country, and hid injured every branch of our produc-j ttve industry. The silk tradfe afforded a remarkable instance. The shipping interests furnished another. These opinions! he illustrated by statistical references; and reminded the House that it was impossible to drive out one-rfifth of a ti<ade without inflicting the severest suffering on the other four-1 fifths. Entertaining these opinions, he could not voti for the! motion of the noble lord. Lord F. Egerton observed, that the reproach thrown out in; this debate against Ministers, of having deranged everything! and settted nothing, came with a bad grace from the members! of the late Government. The supporters of this motion, brought forward by an advocate of flxed duty, would be .the! men who condemned all duty whatsover. The quantum of; the distress had uselessly occupied much of the last preceding | 9! speech; because, where the distress was confessedly so great,1 and required the whole attention of Parliament, the question; of a little more or less was Immaterial, The allegation, that the League had caused the outbreak, was not disproved by 1 the consideration that their own property was endangered I history abounded With examples, not only of people cutting each others' throats, but of cutting their own. But when the evil actually buret upon them, men were apt to change their minds; and those who before abhorred the notion of a mili- tary force became nervously anxiotre for tbe glimpse of aj scarlet coat. Mr. Cobden said his chief objection to this motion was that it did not include agricultural as well as manufacturing: distress. Tbe agricultural labourers were in & wretched state. They were no gaiti'ers by the Corn Law; nor were the farmers!! With neither ot these classes had the landlords any right to I identify themselves.^ The landlord was no agriculturist; he might live all his days in London or in Paris. He was no more an agriculturist than a shipowner was a sailor. But the real agriculturist were beginning to get a glimmering of li<r|,t i upon this question. The member for Dorsetshire, when the peasantry were in a wretched state, had attacked the League but tboloogue htid carritd back the war Mttothatcottttty .7-l" -J. "J"I ,and hatt taken -coire tbgt--every one nf ita freehotdera should be jiUpplied wJth a packet containing abaut-a*inzen tractsj wbfc would make them as acquainted with the rafeg«!t' a* this house itself. He protested sgainst the motion that the League had been tho movers QI seditiad and assassination. Next he would inquire why the ptafent niAtion was to be resisted by the Government? When Sir R; Peet tbak reins of Government, he took with .them the respoii#hm Y, of introducing the measures necessary firr'the cHuhtry* The Ministers, some avowedly, others impliedly, were adrhcates of free trade.' Why did not they carry it into effect ? Olrj they adopted it only in the abstract. But thiv House tjad nothing to do with abstractions. Length of time vwtwomspleftad He shiiuldlike to ktaoW whether that would toe a defence jto the claim of a jttst plaintiff in a cotfrt of law ? It could not now be said, ith-at the end of last Session, that the period Was unsuitable. The year tey before them. and there -,Wais pd4 preasurerof legislative business 'public or private. Had Go- vernment any other remedy ISirR. Pelahould be held fespotisibleiiidividtsally. The elettoralbody would force him: to do them justice. Sir Robert Peel, amidst immense cheering, took notice •that Mr. Cobcktn had now again, as before at the Cwrt Eajwi League, designated him, !Sir R. Feet, as beihg tndividua^f ■ responsible; 1 i Mr. Cobden attempted to retract the word "individually! but the overwhelming testimony of the House cut- him off from that retreat. Sir R. Peel resuming declared that no .responsibility wliicjh Mr. Cobden could fix ypon him, or induce others to fix upon him, should deter him from doing his duty. With-respect to ,the present motion, he wftuld take no objection on any poiiit •of form. That would be an unworthy objection on a Subject of such deep interest to a Suffering people. But what would be the effect of granting this motionf ? It would put a Stop to the whole business of the Executive .Government. While tlje committee should be discusing duties on tea, tobacco, sugar, wool, and so on, how could tbe Government make any fiscal calculation, or u<*gofiate any treaty connected with commerce.' Or would the noble lord, instead of dealing with particular duties, 'move a general resolution for extending the princrpje of last year's tariff? It was impossible to'imagine proceed- iiig which Would so immediately and so generally gite'rfcheck" to cotanlerce, diffuse uncertainty, tfnd shake confluence, l^e did not deny the existence of the imputed distress; but ought hot to be overstated; it had been error, for instance, to rely on an October report of Mr. Horner as sustaining an allega- tion that matters were progressively wotfe, when there was Ii suhsequeirt report of his in January, by winch that aflegatiuki: was disproVed. Now, ai to the censures which had beeo thrown upon the Government for not following oui their o"'r declarations. They had thought that in a general revision <|f f our comihercial code, the principle of protection ought not' to he extended—that relaxation, rather than restriction, onght to be the object; but he himself had qualified those opimoujs by the most distinct reservations in favoar Iof 16he uali t ion' interests. Mr. HuskissOn had stated -simila'r'qu'alifit! ion So had Dr. Adam Siiiith, ii writer who' liad hot, he though, hfen surpassed by of the modern commentatort mi his workjj. He then recapitutated the improvements introduced by tlije1 recent tari^T^-by that revision to which so little value was ? attached rri this debate. He next went into some of thp general argutnfents against fixed duty, and against total repehlj; and then addressed himself to Mr. Baring's speech :thf- previous evening, who had charged the present Ooverumeui with having deranged ever/tiling and settled DotlíiDg:Si,. R. Peel.contrasted his own conduct with that of the preceding Ministry. Ini 1840 their whole official force had united in voting for the maintenance of that very sngt»r duty'Which, ip 1841, whed they saw themselves in danger, they treated as aq intolerable burden. The settlement of the corn l^w was in'r sisted'upon as a matter of the utmost importance' :HuW did the late ministers settle it? "<Vliy, by, makiug it, year hftef year an open question. When new taxes were to beraisecl by Mr. Baring himself, as Chancellor of the Eicheoner. he hiifl imposed a duty of 5 per cent. upon raw materials, the very elements of taaoufactnrers; jthd now that"' the right h8nL gentleman accused the present Ministry of having unsettled 1 everything, and settled nothing. What the present Ministry had done was this: they had cfpsed two great and expensive wars, apd they trusted that the* estimates of iliis year would show a consequent reduction pf £ 850,000. They had diminished colonial duties; they had approached to a lietilei ment of the ditferenceswiththe United States; and they haij tried to soothe those angry feelings of trance, for the origin of which they were not responsible. Still, if this motion could really alleviate tbe people's suffering, lie would pay post sincerely, that no merits to which the Ministers could lay claim should be a reason against its adoption.. 4,. Lord J. jRus^elf, alter de,vounl)g" to explain, the obnoxious expression of 'Mr. Cobden, proceeded to deal with the question in debate. He justified ^he form of the present motion, and the fitness of the time at was brought forward. Foreign nations were induced by the example of this country to restrict their, owp codes of commerce and ;u n thus England, by excluding the great articles in, which those nations'dealt, precluded herself from all chance of getting favourable treaties from them. He, cc,uld have understood the arguments for keeping up high duti-s upon articles of ftod, if on they had come from the opponents of free trade; but h*could not understand them when they came, from, a Government by whom the principles of free trade Vere adopted agd pro- on claimed. It wight he t^at a fixed duty! of 8s. would not nQ^ satisfy the people. It would, he beiievcpl, have satisfied them whep it was first proposed hat if statesmen aUowedjlhe ti^e to go by when a moderate hoqn would fuMce, a larger aipowit must be evehtnallvj conceded. The ultinvate repeal of th^ Roman Catholic .disabilities, ^.witjbont^any qf the securities originally proposed to accompany i't^as ,f|B, ijljiftpr^tion of this tendency in political affairs. 'Mr. Cobden desired to disavow, the meaning which hacl been ipa|»uted to him- in the employ ment of the word "indi- i .11. i v ..iMjirtt r.t j Sir iv< laccepted the cxplaoAtionV.^ Mr. Roehuck read from the Qmrterly Reoieto »q extract from the report of that League meeting at which the sugges- tion pf taking Sir R.

(This, p*o4«ee4 a grejit sensation.,) Mr. Bankes said a few words, intimating th*t Mr, CO1MUI< had greatly misrepresented the state of the peasantry ia tW-' setshire; and that nothing which he biujself could have said to the Dorsetshire freeholders against the League woijd damage it so much as Mr. Qobden's ofn speech in that-house oo that eveniog.

Treeman and Cook's "Overland Despatch," oil the injury which is done to the revenue by the use of British chicory'in adulterating coffee, will be found Very interesting at a time when the losses which the revenue sustainsjrom^rfous causes, are becqtii^iyi object of ,ssriani. public attention -Tile' most prominent of these expedients is that of adulteration by means of chicory. From 1820 to 1838 (up to which period the use of chicery was prohibited) the consumption of (;offee steadily and progressively increased.; Assuming it to have gone on advancing in the same ratio, it wouljd have reached 16,000"tons in 1842, whereas it only amounted to 12,600 tons. The inquiries referred. to have elicited proofs that the qjUantity of chicory qseci .TaSt yearibr the purpose of'a!dulteration cannot have 9mounted to less than; from 3,900 to 4,0^)0 tons;; of this nearly 1,000 ton^ were foreign, and, as such, certainly yielded £ 20,000, j^uty, but the remaining being British grown, produced no revenue whatever, while, ot course, the consumption of coffee was decreased to the extent to which chicory was used for admixture, and thus a positive loss was inflictedf upon the reyefltte to the amount of £ 350,000, the whole sum received for duty on coffee being oijly £ 771,000. In the United States tlia consumption of cdffee was under 7,000 tons in 1820 since then it hab gone: on annually increasing, and last year reached to no less than 50,€00 tons, adulteration being entirely unknown; a result which exhibits, it must be admitted, a remarkable contrast to: that of the working of ()ur own system. Under our system adulteratipn will doubtless go on: the growth of British chicory, unless checked by the imposition of a duty, as in the case of hops, will soon entirely supersede that of foreign (several' parcels of foreign seed having indeeil already been imported from Flanders), and the loss to the revenue will be still further augmented. THE' <3OVERNOUS AND THE GOVERNED.—It is criminal to think on politics without having an eye to that public happi- ness on which privnte happiness depends. The governments of Europe are at present guided by ideas and prejudices which are below the level of the age. The carriage is driven, along old tracks, and it will not go smoothly uptil it reaches; level groiipd. Power shpa|dJi«i:eQt^al only ip t^e)aw; it is; misplaced anywhere else »t uas qo other resting-place which) sound reason can acknowledge. Those who think otherwise,! are blinded by the dust of old parchment^. They seem to forget that ruling by ordinances (or prociumations) is out of date. People want something more substantial; they will no lopger submit to the caprice of a minister (or magistrate), without complainings The time for that is gone by.—X'ytno Wtriktf, ,j
