GEO. SCORE, Secretary. IMPORTANT TO THE AFFLICTED. Dr. Wright's celebrated Pearl Ointment. Under the sanction and recommendation of eminen. Gentlemen of the Faculty, and Patronized by tht Nobility, Clergy, Gentry, &?c. FOR the Cure of Cancerous, Scrofulous, and Indolent t Tumours, and Inveterate Ulcers, Glandular Affec- tions of the Neck, Erysipelas, Scurvy, Evil, Ring Worm, Scald Head White Swellings, Piles, Ulcerated Sore Legs (if of 20 years' standing), Chilblains, Chapped Hands, Burns, Scalds, Sore Nipples, Bruises, Grocer's Itch, and all Cutaneous Diseases; also an infallible Re- medy for Sore, Weak, and Diseased Eyes. In several Gout and Rheumatic Cases it has proved highly bene- ficial. In every one of the above distressing complaints, this invaluable Ointment has effected the most triumphant cures after all other means had failed. In addition to the testimonials of surgeons, and certificates by far too numerous for publication, the following certificate from that eminent and distinguished practitioner, Charles Aston Key, Esq., Senior Surgeon of Guy's Hospital, London, cannot fail to establish the confidence of all persons in this excellent remedy, and the Proprietor strongly recommends all Families, Schools, and Grocers never to be without it. WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. From the numerous certificates which I have seen of the efficacy of Wright's Pearl Ointment, I have been induced to try it in severe cases of Porrigo, Herpetic Eruptions, the Ulcus Exendens, and some other forms of obstinate cutaneous disease, and I am able to bear testimony to its great utility.

N.B.—Be careful to ask for Dr. Wright's Celebrated Pearl Ointment," as there is a spurious article offered at Is. 1.d.

As much mischief is frequently produced by the indiscriminate use of strong purgative Medicine, the Proprietor strongly recommends DR. WRIGHT'S CATHARTIC PILLS, prepared from the Doctor's pri- vate Recipe, which will be found so gentle in their ope- ration, that Females, under every circumstance, and even children may take them with the greatest possible ad. vantage and safety.

THESE Medicines have long been known throughout JL the American Continent, and appreciated for their extraordinary and immediate powers of restoring perfect health to persons suffering under nearly every kind of disease to which the human frame is liable. In many hundreds of certified instances, they have even rescued sufferers from the very verge of an un- timely grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day had utterly failed; and to many thousands they have permanently secured that uniform enjoyment of health, without which life itself is but a partial blessing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy invariably and infallibly proved, that it has appeared scarcely less than miraculous to those who were unacquainted with the beautifully phi- losophical principles upon which they are compounded and upon which they consequently act. The first operation is to loosen from the coats of the stomach and bowels the various impurities and crudities constantly settling around them and to remove the hardened faeces which collect in the convolutions of the small intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to pro- duce habitual costiveness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diarrhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, who examine the human bowels after death and hence the prejudice of these well informed men against the quack medicines of the age. The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red colour from the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heart, being thus purified by them, and nourished by food coming from a clean stomach, courses freely through the veins, renews every part of the system and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming check. The following are among the distressing variety of human diseases in which the Vegetable Life Pills are well known to be infallible DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the first and second stomachs, and creating a flow of pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and acrid kind Flatulency, Palpdation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heartburn and Headaches, Restlessness, lll-tempcr, Anxiety, Lan- gour, and Melancholy, which are the general symptoms of Dyspepsia, will vanish as a natural consequence of its cure. Costiveness by cleansing the whole length of the intestines with a solvent process, and without violence: all violent purges leave the bowels costive within two days. Diarrhoea and Cholera, by removing the sharp acrid fluids by which these complaints are occasioned, and by promoting the lubricative secretions of the mucous membrane. Fevers of all kinds, by restoring the blood to a regular circulation through the process of perspiration in some cases, and the thorough solution of all intestinal ob- structions in others. The Life Medicines have been known to cure Rheumatism permanently in three weeks, and Gout in half that time, by removing local inflammation from the muscles and ligaments of the joints. Dropsies of all kinds by freeing and strengthening the kidneys and bladder; they operate most delightfully on those im- portant organs, and hence have ever been found a certain remedy for the worse cases of Gravel. Also Worms by dislodging from the turnings of the bowels the slimy matter to which these creatures adhere; Asthma (fnd Consumption, by relieving the air vessels of the lungs from the mucous, which even slight colds will occasion, which, if not removed becomes hardened, and produces those dreadful diseases. Scurvy Ulcers, and Inveterate Sores, by the perfect purity which these Life Pills give to the blood and all the humours Scor- butic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, by tlicir alterative effects upon the fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state of which occasions all Eruptive Complaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions. The use of these Pills for a very short time will effect an entire cure of Salt ill/emil, Erysipelas, and a striking improvement in the Clearness of the Skin. Common Colds and Influenza will always be cured by one dose, or by two, even in the worst cases. Piles as a remedy for this most distressing and obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills deserve a distinct and emphatic recommendation. It is well known to hundreds in the city of New York, that the originator of these invaluable Pills was himself afflicted with this complaint for upwards of thirty-five years, find that lie tried in vain every remedy prescribed within the whole compass of the Materia Medica. He, however, at length tried the medicine which is now offered to t4e public, and lie was cured in a very short time, after his recovery had been pronounced not only improbable, but absolutely impos- sible, by any human means. The Life Medicine will never fail to eradicate entirely all the effects of Mercury, infinitely sooner than the most powerful preparations of Sarsaparilla, and will innnediately cure the determination of BLOOD TO THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness incident to young females and will be found a certain remedy in all cases of nervous debility and weakness of the most impaired c institutions.

Patronised by Her AIajesty 11 The Queen," and tlte Royal Family of Great Britain, as well as the several Sovereigns and Courts of Europe. HE importance of possessing A FINE SET OF TTEETH is universally acknowledged by all who attach the due value to Personal Advantages and the blessings of health. A regular, firm and pearly row of teeth ever insures favourable iniprcssions, while the in- dispensable agencies which they fulfil in respect to the functions of health demand o,ur utmost care and atten- tion in their preservation. Disorders of the Teeth, however slightly regarded, are inevitably attended with evils which affect the whole system. Whatever renders mastication painful or im- perfect, not only lessens our relish and enjoyment of food, but also prevents that perfect comminution and mixture of it with the saliva which is indispensable to perfect digestion, and hence arise an endless train of diseases of thcstomach, while at the same time the body is deprived of its wonted nourishment, and the whole system languishes in a state of discomfort and disease. Perhaps among all the disagreeable consequences that follow fast the decay of the teeth—an impure breath must be the most mortifying to its possessor, as it is the most generally offensive in society. The Decay of the Teeth arises from various causes but, principally, it may be attributed to early neglect, ill health, or the use of Tooth Powders containing mineral and other deleterious acids, which give a momentary whiteness to the teeth, while they corrode the enamel The extreme prevalence of this last cause is too well known to need comment. To this fact, indeed, is prin- cipally to be attributed the long Botanical Research, which has happily terminated by the most felicitous dis- covery ever given to the world for the Preservation of the Teeth, Gums, and Breath, viz.— ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE. A White Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the Choicest and most Recherche Ingredients of the Oriental Herbal; the leading requisites of cleanliness and efficacy being present in the highest possible degree. It extir- pates all tartarous adhesions to the Teeth, and ensures a Pearl-like Whiteness to the enamelled surface. Its Anti-Septic and Anti-Scorbutic Properties exercise a highly beneficial and salutary influence; they arrest the further progress of decay of the Teeth, induce a healthy action of the Gums, and cause them to assume the brightness and colour indicative of perfect soundness, while, by confirming their adhesion to the Teeth, they give unlimited enjoyment and fresh aest to appetite, by perpetuating effective and complete mastication; the Breath also, from the salubrious and disinfecting quali- of the Odonto attains a sweetness and fragrance truly grateful to its possessor. It speedily removes those ravages which children sus- tain in their Teeth, owing to improper use of sweet and acid articles, which imperceptibly destroy them. The Proprietors of this Dentifrice pledge themselves, that its efficacy in preserving and embellishing the Teeth, far surpasses any thing of the kind ever offered to the Public. As the most efficient and fragrant aromatic purifier of the Breath, Teeth, & Gums ever known, ROWLAND'S ODONTO has now for a long scries of years occupied a distinguished place at the Toilets of the Sovereigns and the Nobility throughout Europe, while the general demand for it at once announces the favour in which it is universally held.

Sir,—I beg to inform you that the inhabitants of thrs Island, especially those who cannot afford to employ mcdical gentlemen, are very anxious of having your astonishing Medicines within their reach, from the im- mense benefits some of them have derived from their use, as they have been found here, in several cases, to cure Sores and Ulcers of the most malignant and des- perate kind. One gentleman in this Island, who had, I believe, about fifty running ulcers about his legs, arms, and body, who had tried all other Medicines before the arrival of yours, but all of which did him no good; but yours cured him in about s ix weeks, and he is now, by their means alone, quite restored to health and vigour.

A remarkable Cure by these Pills and Ointment.—A half-pay lieutenant, lately residing at St. Heliers, Jersey, whose name by request is omitted, had for three years suffered from piles and fistula, besides a general bearing down, of the most distressing nature. He had twice undergone an operation, but to no purpose, and at last gave himself up to despair. Yet, notwithstanding this complication of eomplamts, together with a debilitated constitution, he was completely cured of all his infir- mities and restored to the full enjoyment of health by these justly renowned medicines, when every other means had failed. Extraordinary Cure in the West Indies, of Leprosy and other direful skin diseases. June 3rd, 1844. I Mr. Lewis Rcedon, of Georgetown, Demerara, writes under the above date-that Holloway's Pills and Oint- ment have cured bad legs that no doctor could manage, ulcers and sores that were of the most dreadful descrip- tion, as likewise leprosy, blotches, scales and other skin diseases of the most frightful nature, and that the cures effected there by these wonderful medicines are so nume- rous and extraordinary as to astonish the whole population.

SIR,—The Lord has permitted to be wrought a wonderful cure of Cancers or Abscesses, of twelve years' standing, in my wife's breast. In the latter part of the time, eleven wounds were open at once. The Faculty declared the case as past cure, several pieces of bone had come away, and I expected that my poor wife would soon have been taken from me. It was then that a friend recommended the use of your Pills and Ointment, which to our utter astonishment, in the space of about three months, healed up the breast as soundly as ever it was in her life.

Copy of a Letter from Mr. Jeremiah Casey, Xo. 1, Compton-place, Compton-slreet, Brunswick-square, London, April 2oth, 1845. To PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. SIR,-I beg to inform you that I believe I had been for more than three years, one of the greatest sufferers in the world with Chronic Asthma. For weeks together my breath was frequently so short that I was afraid every moment of being choked with phlegm. I never went into a. bed very often, indeed, I have been obliged to pass the night without being able to recline sufficiently to lay mv head on a table, lest I should be suffocated. No one thought I should live over the winter, nor did I expect it myself; but I am happy to say that I am now able to work from morning to night, and that I sleep as well as, ever I did in my life and this miracle (I may say) was effected by rubbing your invaluable Ointment twice a day into my chest, and taking ten of your Pills at bed-time, and ten again in the morning, for about three months. (Signed) JEREMIAH CASEY. In all Diseases of the Skin, Bad Legs, Old Wounds and Ulcers, Bad Breasts, Sore Nipples, Stoney and Ulcerated Cancers, Tumours. Swellings, Gout, Rheu- matism, and Lumbago, likewise in cases of Piles; Holloway's Pills, in all the above cases, ought to be used with the Ointment; as by this means cures will be effected with a much greater certainty, and in half the time that it would require by using the Ointment alone. The Ointment is proved to be a certain remedy for the bite of Mosclicttocs, Sand-flics, Chicgo-foot, Yaws, and Coco-bay, and all skin Diseases, common to the East and West Indies, and other tropical clinics. Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Chapped Hands and Lips, also Bunions and Soft Corns, will be immediately cured by the use of the Ointment.

HKVIKWS OF THE WORK. Mr. La'Mert, ',)ein a regularly educated member of the mdicallprofession, :md possessed of the highest qualifications, is a strong inducement alone to recommend his work to the perusal of all who feel interested in such matters, for it is a subject of as much importance to the moralist as to the me- dical practitioner; and 1t really is surpnsmg to see that nothing worthy of notice is to be found on a matter so im- portant in the various writings of standard authors. This cir- cumstance appears remarkable and unacconntable, when ex- perience has shown that local weaknesses and imperfections, either hereditary or acquired, constitute the great majority, perhaps nine-tenths of the causes of nervousness, mental imbecility, and constitutional weakness. We must confess we are astonished at the extent of human suffering, anxiety, and misery which is pourtrayed in this work, as emanating from peculiar causes, which are not less ruinous, because they are not supposed to exist, Unfortunately, there is a false de- licacy and a false refinement in the present age, which rather seeks to gloss over immorality than to combat and subdue it. We can only say, that every one who reads this extra- ordinary work will he gratified and enlightened by its peru- sal."—RAILWAY BELL. Unquestionably this is the most extraordinary and skilful work of the kind ever written. It breathes, throughout, a high tone of moral feeling, and ought to be extensivelv cir- culated; for it is quite evident that there are peculiar habits acquired at public schools and private seminaries, which are totally unknown and concealed from the conductors of those e.t"hiihment< and which cannot be too strongly reprobated and condemned. The author has taken up the subject in a masterly and perspicuous style; and being written by a dulv qualified medical practitioner, will doubtless be the means of saving many a youth, as well as those of maturer age, from the various evil consequences resulting from such indiscretions."—MAGNET.

t [FOR "TIIR %VLLSIIAIkN-"I j I CURIOSITIES OF THE GRAVE. I Disinterment During the French1 Reign of Terror,' 1793. I SIR,-Thc subject of Exhumations having led my reading to something of solemn curiosity in that direc- tion, I wish to present it to your readers as atonement for the dryness of my former remarks. Yet as prefatory pray permit a few really last words on the fresh attack of The Silurian's" protege, A Welshman," in Friday week's paper. Is it fair for the third time, to permit a volley of impertinence, refusing a single opportunity of returning it ? My letter, it now appears, was a puff" for myself, though the writer does not state how it was to exalt me, who am but a looker on in the matter. Moreover, he convicts me of being unknown—to him though living all his life within twenty miles of me. Now as never pretending to be known to so great a man as A Welshman," he should not reproach me with my misfortune. I might console myself with the society of Priscian in that misfortune, who, it is clear is equally unknown, he having run his own head against that great ancients', (and proved its superior texture too!) twice in his letters without knowing him. Possibly had I been in the habit of keeping markets" to sell 11 golden opinions to all sorts of people" (or rather silver ones) ubly afflicted with disease and credulity, I might M|Pv)me in contact or collision with A Welshman" or his connection. Enough of this-I shall only add that it is not my ambition to be known, nor do I pretend to popularity in fashionable Literature. Some people, rather than not be known at all, would actually be .known for what they are!, a dunce for a dunce for instance. I have the poor comfort, under my obscurity as regards this sole hero of the Utensil" Controversy, of being known to those whom he has per- haps as little heard as of me,—one Lockhart, one Wilson, one D'Israeli, one Jeffrey, (a "lord" too, now, I assure him !) &c., &c., and if he ever heard of such a book (published monthly) as Blackwood's Magazine" and will refer as far back even as Dec. 1836-Jan. 1837, "A Welshman" may learn what Joseph Downes is. He will there read two Articles, both by Professor Wilson himself, in two Nos. of that work (remember! ask for Blackwood's Magazine"-not the tailor's book of" Fashion") discussing the" cxtraordinarypowers" &c. of that very Joseph Downes," whom A Welshman" represents as so ignorant in penmanship as to have de- scribed the dead pained by exposure of their transfi- gurations It should seem he can no more under- stand English, than write it. Finally, let him ask any Tyro" (even in The Silurian" office) and he'll learn what is meant by breaking Priscian's head." Now to fulfil my promise. During the" reign of Terror" in France a whohsale wanton Exhumation of the dead took place, which for the frightful yet awfully curious revelations of the Grave then made, exceeds in interest most romances, if not in horror. The wretch Barrere obtained an order of the National Convention in 1793 for opening the graves and destroying the tombs of all the departed monarchs of France also for ran- sacking the cathedral of St. Denis, to apply the lead for purposes of war. Marshall Turenne was found dried like a mummy (he being the first disinterred,) yet his features, they assert, might have been recognized through his portraits. Camille Desmoulins cut off a little finger for a relic, and the dead hero was made a show for money during several months Enter, (second in this hideous resurrectionary drama !) the once gallant Henry IV. of France features perfect; the scull filled with some most pungent aromatic, highly volatile after the long lapse of years. A soldier cut off a lock of his hair, and stuck it on his lip like a moustache, swaggering about with this rhodomontade (as given verbatim by a French contemporary writer) Et moi aussi, je suis soldat Franca is desormais ie n'aurai pas d'autre nioustache Maintenant je suis sur de vaincre les ennemis de la France, et Je marche a la victoire The mood however soon changing, Henry the Great was set upright as a mark for boys and men to shy" at, and was after all his victories knocked down by a woman striking the venerable face with her brawny fist. Henry's devotion to the fair sex every body has heard of, but he would have been a shrewd prophet who should in the 17th century have predicted his farther experiences of the ladies of the creation, in the 18th and to be triumphed over by a common fish- fag of Paris Exit (after being kicked about the streets) to the common pit prepared for the disinterred relics, Henry the Great Mortality itself shrinks with- in us on contemplating this awful vicissitude of mortal greatness, not less for the senseless monarch than the worse than senseless rabble the populace, who could thus trample on their own nature, because it had worn a crown Whether or no the brutalising influence of long despotism palliated the brutal fury which it helped to produce, is a question for politicians. Some curiosity in the more intellectual Parisians must have awaited the re-appearance of their once idolized Grande Monarque Louis XIV. He arose in the cos- tume of some hideous masquer enacting a negro, in com- plete black! The body was in high preservation yet thus discoloured. A curious contrast in colour to his successor Louis XV. who was completely red, from the effects of some sort of pickle. Louis the 8th had been enclosed in leather for surer preservation. Alas for human provision for earthly immortality! The skin of the beast was found almost perfect, the leather was elastic and strong, but what it was required to pre- serve was nearly gone, shroud and all. Yet a few fragments of some golden ornaments glimpsed among the ruins of the monarch still enclosed in the more durable brutal covering. What a sermon was, or rather might have been preached by these remains, to a think- ing mind and humble Christian, in the silence of night and solitude of their vault, instead of affording mirth to madness dancing in human blood, in noonday Dag- obert was in one coffin with his wife Nanthildes, a par- tition between their grimly" majesties. Francis the First was found in a leaden coffin with six others of his family. Some of the more recent Bourbons were in a state of decomposition, the effluvia of which proved fatal to those engaged in the work. In the state of a whole nation under insanity, as France certainly then exhibited a terrific example of, when human life was held as loosely as a garment to be put off at night or before, and the people shouted to see their own blood flow down the kennels of their streets, such a desecration of the Grave is not much to be won- dered at. All nations not under such a visitation of God concur in reverent decorum toward their dead. Many of the modes of manifesting this are such as seem to us savage and of quite a contrary tendency. Even animals, some writers conjecture, says Sir Thomas Browne, do practice Sepulture, as elephants, cranes, pismires, and bees 11 which civil society carrieth out their dead, and liath exeqwes if not interments." Cre- mation or burning seems to have fallen into disuse, partly from the scarcity of fuel, when rendered scarce by increase of population and arts. Nearly three hun- dred weight of wood it is ascertained, is required for the complete cremation of a human body. To conclude all, even barbarous nations, have evinced in some fashion, a reverence for the receptacles of their dead. But in some ages, this laudable feeling has operated to the retardation of the advance of Science. Dissection of human bodies was violently condemned by some Fathers of the Church, Tertullian, Augustine, &c. Boniface YIII. excommunicated those who disturbed human remains. We have here the op- posite extreme to wanton desecration of the house appointed for all living the superstitious less revolt- ing (however to be deprecated) than the sacrilegious error. The well known rule of Horace may be applied to the practice of Exhumation let there be an im portant purpose in view I Nec Deus intersit, nisi dignvs vindice nodus I hlciderit. If the ends of Justice, if the views of Pathological science imperiously require it, none could object (1 suppose I ought to carefully interject here, 11 Nide A Welshman's" critique on my bad English, none alive) can object to raising a dead body; but if no such necessity exist. moll iter ansa quiescant I [ Builth, Nov. 27.

THE PREMIER AND HIS PARTY.
THE PREMIER AND HIS PARTY. [From the Atlas.] The relation in which Sir Robert Peel stands towards his party is so remarkable in itself, and so important in its bearing upon the political prospects of the country, as to excite an interest far exceeding that which is at- tached to ordinary party divisions and struggles. Since his accession to office the Premier has studiously sought to shake himself clear of party trammels, and to assume the attitude of an independent Minister, whose conduct must be judged of by a very different standard from that applicable to the leader of the Conservative opposition. Even in a matter so ticklish as the distribution of pa- tronage he has frequently endeavoured to sink the partisan in the public-spirited Minister, anxious to reward merit rather than party services. But it is in his Parliamentary declarations and public measures that Sir Robert Peel has departed most widely from the opiuions prevalent among his supporters, and from the line of policy which he adopted during the existence of the Whig Government. Disregarding verbal quibbling, it is sufficiently obvious that the political principles patronised by the Premier of 1845 are very opposite to those of which, from 1835 to 1841, Sir Robert Peel was the eloquent and formidable champion. The Conser- vative leader was the ardent friend of Irish Protestantism, representing it most invidious privileges as the neces- sary bulwarks of the British constitution and the re- formed religion, while he affected to dread the increasing power and ambitious views of the Catholic Church. But the Premier of to-day frowns upon the Orangemen, while it appears to be his ruling object to conciliate and gain over the Catholic priesthood. The Conservative leader was the earnest and triumphant supporter of agricultural protection; but the enlightened Premier indicates both by his words and actions, that he is prepared to embrace in all their extent the doctrines of free-trade. In a word, the party which formerly occu- pied the opposition, and now musters upon the Treasury benches, still fight under the same leader, not now in defence of its own principles, but of the policy which it denounced and successfully resisted in the days of Whig ascendancy. The course thus pursued by the Premier, although not very creditable to his sincerity and consistency, furnishes strong proofs of his sagacity and foresight. Placed at the head of a triumphant party, called into existence by an apparent re-action in favour of Con- servative principles, Sir Robert Peel seems to have discerned that such, principles could no longer be car- ried into practical effect. The boasted Conservative re-action appeared to him as to many others, not so much the result of hostility to liberal principles, as of dissatisfaction with the weakness, inaction, and adminis- trative capacity of the Whig Government. If so far as his personal ambition was concerned, the Reform Bill appeared a less disastrous measure than it had formerly done; it was not from underrating the importance of its results, but because he flattered himself that he could conciliate and guide that public opinion, which by it had been rendered predominant. He saw clearly that the middle classes had become the depositories of political power, and that they wanted no better proof of a bad Government than financial embarrassments and com- mercial depression, and had therefore become altogether alienated from the Whigs—their former idols. But Sir Robert Peel well knew that in ceasing to be Whigs tin y had not become Tories; and that any attempt to conduct the Government upon Tory principles would draw them back to worship at their former shrine. Once fairly entered upon his new career, the Premier has advanced, with all the ardour of a new convert, equally indifferent to the charges of personal inconsistency, and to the protestations and murmurings of his followers. He judges rightly, that while his measures are satisfactory, the public will pay little regard to the former, and, perhaps, flatters himself that the latter will not reach a point dangerous to the stability of his power. Hitherto he has proceeded from step to step with unvarying, success his majorities, whether comprised of friends or opponents, are as strong ever; and in spite of all that is said to the contrary, the nation seems still to look up to him with as much hope and confidence as it did in 1841. He may have lost many admirers, but he has also gained many, and his financial and commercial measures have secured for him a solid reputation, which in this country is invaluable. But in spite of the many advantages which he still enjoys there seem now to be gathering around the Premier many party and political difficulties. The Tories have hitherto remained tolerably quiescent, under the conviction that to them Sir Robert Peel is the indis- pensa.ble man, without whom they could scarcely have obtained, certainly cannot retain, oiffce. The Conser- vative aristocracy depends in so many ways upon official patronage, that it forgives much to him who hfts the' disposal of it. In this respect the Premier blts-doue much to secure their good wilt, fbr he has filled his administration with men who, but for their titles and connexions, must have spent their existence in the densest obscurity. But there is a large section of the Tory party which cannot be thus managed, and which will not long consent to compromise its principles, in order that a few of its leaders may enjoy the sweets of patronage and power. During last session this section often broke into open opposition, & seemed to care com- paratively little about endangering the existence of the Ministry. It is not likely that this party meets with sympathy even in the Cabinet itself, and that some of his colleagues are no longer willing to remain bound to the chariot-wheels of the triumphant Premier. It must be admitted that the position which they octupy is by no means an enviable one, since Sir Robert ap- propriates all the glory, while they share largely in any discredit which has resulted from the liberal policy adopted by the Ministry. It is not in human natura. for the members of the Peel Cabinet to regard their chief with feelings of cordial attachment, since, in public estimation, if not by his own acts, he figures off as the moving power of the administration, without whom it would not possess a particle of merit or vitality. Indeed one of Peel's most wonderful achievements is the ease with which he seems to have subdued his own Cabinet, so that the stern resolution of Wellington and the fiery obstinacy of Stanley are alike obedient to his will, and subservient to his greatness. But it is difficult to believe that this state of things can continue much longer, and many circumstances seem to indicate that the Premier will soon be reduced to that dilemma in which, in 1827, he helped to place Canning. lie has done much more to offend the Tory party than Canning ever did, and is probably not less an object of jealousy and distrust to some of his own colleagues, than that ill-fated statesman was to Lord Eldon and himself. It must be admitted indeed that present circumstances are much more favourable to Peel than those of 1827 were to Canning. There is no second Peel to head and give dignity to a new secession. Should the high Tories break off from their nominal leader they would indeed be sadly in want of some one to place at the head of their movement. Gladstone has embraced many of the most offensive heresies of the Premier; and Stanley, all but politically used-up, would be a poor substitute for Peel, grudging no labour which may minister to his ambition, and by his tact and plau- sibility removing difficulties and conciliating opponents. It is only by their influence and votes that rebellious Tories can damage Peel; but by such means they could no doubt reduce him to a condition of great embarrass- ment and perplexity. To such means the zealous Tories have already partially resorted, and there seems every reason to anticipate that they will soon combine in some plan of determined and systematic opposition to the progress of the Premier, in that line of policy which he has chalked out for himself. Sir Robert Peel must long since have perceived that events are rapidly tending towards some such results as those at which we have now glanced, and that, al- though averted for a time, they are ultimately inevitable. The Premier must now either advance or retrogade. If he advances, his party-perhaps his Government—will be broken up. If he hesitates, his hold upon public opinion will be lost; for his past policy is so entirely preparatory, that unless carried out, the reputation which it has secured for him will be turned into dis- credit and contempt. There can be little doubt that if Sir Robert Peel places these alternatives fairly before himself he will submit to the former as the least of the two evils. But the danger to be apprehended is, that he will select some middle course which cannot satisfy his own party, while it will assuredly irritate and alienate the country. A great opportunity seen* to present itself to the Premier—the question is—has lie the courage to avail himself of it, and to cast him- self upon the nation for support ? At the present moment the country is eager to enter upon a career of commercial enterprise and speculation—it wants a Mi- nister who can direct its energies and remove the ob- stacles which impede its progress. Many believe that in Sir Robert Peel is to be found the man best adapted by capacity and disposition for this proud position. But if he hopes to become the all-trusted Minister of a great commercial nation he must lose no time in identifying himself with those who are prepared to accept of him as their leader. The half-jesting declaration of Mr. Cob- den, that he is not yet willing to give up Peel, expresses the serious feeling entertained by a great majority of the commercial and middle classes, who place great confidence in the prudence, the social position, and the enlightened principles of the Premier. A short period will probably determine whether Sir Robert Peel is to become a more powerful Minister than he has yet been, or to be driven from office by a combination of Whigs and Tories, only able to crush him if, by his weakness and inderision, he forfeits the esteem and confidence of the people. An official notice has been published in France, stating that a great quantity of ornaments and other articles, gilt by the galvanic process, have been sold for pure gold. They are made in Paris with such perfection as to deceive even the most experienced eye. --Ualir{/¡{111 i,
