The Express. — London, England, 1851-09-23 00:00:00

THE EXPRESS, TI7ESDAY EN BELGIUM As the water rose, • train of baggage can was pre pared, aad when St. Mark's and the terminus were no longer habitable, the people repaired to the ears on planks and in boats, and pushed up into the higher pine woods. At Newport there appears to have been an average of five or six feet of water. The wharves are all carried away, but no buildings destroyed, so far as we can learn. The goods in storehouses have sustained much damage. Mr. Ladd's loss is estimated at fire to six thousand dol. fan; M`Naught and Ormond, three to four; Mr. Den ham, two to three; and all the merchants have sustained serious loess.. An extra of the Waiilla Times, received this morning, estimates the loss at 12,000 dollar., which, from the re ports we have; received, we should infer was a very mode rate estimate. The streets of the town are mid to have been in good boating condition for the steamer spray,l which draws four feet.. We arc glad to hear that all are safe at the lighthouse, and that the house and premised have suffered no material damage. The breakwater is carried away in two places, but the damage is supposed not to exceed 1,500 dollars. There were, betides the keeper's family, tome six or eight visitors at the lighthouse. They had, of coune, a most anxious and alarming time till about ten o'clock on Satur day night, when the veering of the wind • little to the westward permitted the water to recede, and they returned to the keeper's house. During the height of the gale and sea the lighthouse shook to its lowest stem ; and the terror and discomfort of the fugitives were greatly increased by the forcing in of the iron door, and the spray dashing up into the structure. We suppose there is very little use of printing a paper to-day, as it is, to our mind, exceetingly doubtful whether we shall have any mail stage or other carriage communication with the rest of mankind short of seve ral days. More timber is blown down than ever was donne before—as much, we are told, as in any three storms which have visited Florida within the last fifteen or twenty years. We are told there are, for instance, an hundred and eighty odd trees lying upon the Miccoseukie mad, within a distance short of ten miles from town. Irks Thompson says there are thirty odd large trees einem the road between town and his place, a distance of SWIM miles. From Colonel Butler's to town there are 1401 y-tire. On the Quincy road they . are said to be piled nip in some eases ton feet high: and it is even reported that the way to the Ocklockonee will hardly be cleared short of the last of the week. If the storm has been extensive, some days mast elapse before the roads are rendered pass able by stage.i. What damage has been done to the cotton crop it is im possible to say ; nor can it be determined until we know what sort of weather succeeds the storm. If hot and drv, the soil, beaten down by the late tremendous rains, will 6e baked into the consistency of a Florida brick, that is, rather soft for a brick, but hard for soil in cultivation. In such a case, the plough only breaks it into lumps and clods. Showery weather, however, which seems just uow to be promised, will help planters a good deal. Of course, the plant looks miserably enough just now, and planters talk despondingly. kid and 331 per cent. loss are the must mo derate estimates. We shall see what we shall see. musequainted with the details of the case, till he picked them up ea be proceeded. On the part of the plaintiff, it was proved that he had been seized by military passengers on board Dia ship, acting under the command and at the instigation of Captains Vesey and Nei ll ; that in defiance of his orders, the booby hatch had been taken off by Captain Vesey's men; that he had • been seized, carried into the hold, and lashed to a stanchion for twelve hours in a constrained and painful position, being for that time scarcely able to stir ; and that afterwards his hands were fastened together by a chain cut from the can hooks, secured by padlocks, which were only taken off at meals, and then put on again. It was also proved that he was not allowed to go on deck at any time, as a sentinel was kept over him night and day, and none of his crew ever allowed in any way to see or even communicate with him. lie was not allowed on deck even to answer the calls of nature, tube being used for that purpose. That the military took com plete possession of the vessel by Capt. Vesey's orders, who appointed the disrated mate to act as captain, and a soldier as the steward. It was also shown that he had materially suffered in health, and aopeared pale and weak when pat on shore. All this the defendants at tempted to justify, by asserting that the life of Capt. Vcsey bad been threatened, and that a loaded pistol had been held at his breast, and the trigger actually pulled, but it could not be proved that the pistol was either cocked, or that Capt. Campbell bad pulled the trigger. Nor could the de feudants deny that Capt. Campbell had warned them that if they interfered with him, or prevented his men obeying his orders, lie would use his pistol, or that he had told the soldiers to put down the ships arms when they had seized them. They attempted to show that the sentinels over Captain Campbell were servants to attend upon him, but failed ; as also to deny that he bad been lashed to the stanchion and prevented from coming on deck whenever he wanted. They also attempted to prove that he was a drunkard, which was denied by the crew; and also that he had cruelly used a sailor boy, which the boy himself disproved; that he had generally been insult ing in his manlier to Captains Vesey and Neill, which, however, could not be proved. Atter trying to charge him with blasphemy and embezzlement, they completely broke down at the fourth witness, and declined to call another, although they had a list of 13 soldiers, two women, and the disrated mate, to pull them through, if their ease had contained within it even the r shadow of a justification. After a lung, learned, and very impartial address from the Chief Justice, the jury retired, and returned with verdict of guilty against the defendants, and awarded • damages MI. BRUSSELS, Sun. 21.

Blyth and Co., at Wapping. The Blazer, commanded by Captain Bullock, is a fine old vessel, belonging to the now obsolete school of war steamers, and being superannuated, after years of active service un the seas, has been kindly placed by the Admiralty at the disposal of the promoters. The Blazer, of between 600 and 700 tons, has been completely dismantled fur the purpose. pier funnel, masts, and upper gear have been removed, her boilers taken out, and, lying " high and dry " above tide, she presents (Free the St. Mimi AdrocaPe of July 17.) nothing but a " sheer hulk," well scarred with This interesting, and from the peculiar circum- the marks of foreign skirmish.

Great fears are apprehended as to vessels in the Gulf, sad ,t is expected that the southern coast and Keys of Floral. , are covered with wrecked vessels, and that hundreds of human beings have been drowned. Therms rose several left h.etter than at any former period ; the cotton fields of Middle Florida are laid waste, and it is not anticipated that more than half • crop will be eared, and it is feared that the injury has extended into Georgia. At Apalachicola the sea rose five or six feet in the streets, an d, itith the wind, destroyed many buildings at the l south. rn end f the town, as far uas the Charleston Basi Agency, o at the corner and of Centre-s p treet, which house was al- , destroyed.

It is placed at two hundred thou send dollars, but, in the opinion of many, will reach half a million. The roof of our office ha off—we are all afloat—but as soon as we can clear up the pi and debris, fuller particulars will be given. On Friday evening last (says the Tallahassee Sentinel of Aug. 21') a lurid and threatening horizon attracted ma vereal attention in town, and the weatherwise prognosticated a storm. About six o'clock there was • violent squall tram the south-east and a trecueuiloua shower. In a little while the squall ceased, but it continued to rain copiously all the night till about five on Saturday morning. Commencing again at half-past eight, the wind also began to rise from the eastward, the horizon to thicken up, scuds to thy, and every sign to betoken " a blow." The rain poured down literally in torrents, with only occasional slight intermis sion., till about sunrise on Sunday morning. By twelve oat., k afanoun on Saturday, the wind had veered to the southeast, and was blowing a gale. At one the trees began to glee way. At two, still veering southward, the blasts were rapidly increasing in violence, and worse evidently coming. Front th,ec to six, or half-past, the cry was s• :stand from under." 'fall forest oaks were uprooted, or .y snapped asunder—China trees stood nu chance; t. ae, . Were prostrated, tin rooting peeled up like paper, roofs torn up, brickbats flying, and altogether such a general scat t,-ratio taking place es is not often seen. From six to ten ea . ..ea there was no increase in the force of the gale, but, it AI'S thing, an abatement. From ten to two, it piped up aeon and blew "great guns." The night was to, dark to aae the mischief in progress, except as it happened just arouna one; but the howling, hissing, whistling, moaning and gioaniug of the blasts were very well calculated to ex cite lively apprehendous of general misfortune. 'I he gale had pretty much abated at four, and daylight diselood a novel spectacle. l'he streets were all obstructed with prostrate trees, and the ground covered with twigs, boughe, leaves, and " whippings" from everything that mows, In a little walk about the village, we noted the fol lowinc—The capitol—the tin roofing of the Porticoes torn off; a window blown in the representative hall, and general misfortune among the glass; Bond's warehouse (brick) un roofed and blown down ; Wilson's " exchange" building, tin peeled off,unroofed and timbers of the roof scattered in all di reetious ; City Hotel, piazza partly blown down ; Miller and Brokaw's largo stables, cast half untioned ; corn. r, occupied by Messrs.

Bryant ' s store, Pla2A4 blown down ; Ricbardson'sstore,untnned; Felkell's store, untanned, and roof started; Market house blown down; Anderson's new brick dwelling house (unfinished), gable ends and chimneys blown down. Several kitchen and other chimneys were prostrated, and various other injuries were inflicted, too numerous to mention. The fences were in a state of woful dilapidation, and the prostrate shade trees were almost past counting. One citizen tells us he lam eighteen upon his own premises, which are not exten sive. The tin roofing generally fared badly, and more stores would have been unroofed but for a timely securieg with ropes. The damage done to goods in store is supposed to be small. From the country, we hear that the roads in all ea. are obstructed with fallen timber. The quantity blown down is beyond all precedent. The damage done to plantations and maturing crops by such a flood and hur ricane is supposed to be very great. We believe more rain niece fell in the same length of time since Noah's day. From below we have had accounts, but will wait further information. It is stated, however, that the buildings at St. Marks, with the exception of the railroad warehouses and Halt's Hotel, are gone. They were few, however, and generally of smell value. The floors of the warehouses were beaten out, and the goods stored therein MI floated away or sunk. At Newport there is said to have been about six lest of water in town. The steamer Spray, drawing four feet, took passengers through the streets to the hotel, the first floor of which was covered a foot. The greatest sufferer is reported to be Mr. Ladd, in whose storehouse the water is said to have dashed over the counter. His loos is estimated at 6,000 dole.

The beautiful autumnal weather of yesterday at tracted an enormous crowd to the Great Exhibition. The throng of vehicles was immense, and it was observed that the streams of pedestri ins were more dense and continuous than on any previous occasion. The inference drawn from this latter circumstance is, that the people of London itself ore now beginning to arouse themsehes, and to supply . the _ vacuum created by the exhaustion of the provinces. There were several schools, but none of any great importance, and a detachment of the men employed in the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, the lessee, Mr. Tyler, having treated all round with a day's pay, a holiday, and refresh ment money, to enable them to see comfort ably the wouthrs of the Crystal Palace. Of course the attentions required by the tierce inhabitants of those gardens would not permit the absence of all the rvolist ants on the same day, and, accordingly, they were sent in . . _ detachments, one of which helped to swell the company yes terday. A remarkable instance of the intense curiosity which the Great Exhibition has excited in the minds of even the poorest of the people was afforded in the case of a poor fishwoman, named Mary Calinack front the parish of Paul, in Cornwall, who, although in the 84th year of her age, walked the whole distance (350 miles) for the purpose of visiting the Crystal Palace. She was among the crowd yesterday, and went about with au avidity that gave little indication of weariness or old age. It is to be hoped that, by means of a trilling subscription, she may be enabled to return home by rail and coach. 'I he police have as yet received no intimation front head-quarters as to a holiday and a treat to the Exhibition. Even the men stationed in the Palace itself are prohibited going beyond their own immediate district, and unless seine arrangement be speedily made, they are likely to enjoy the distinguished honour of being the only large organised body of her Majesty's subjects who have not eujoyel the feast of instruction and amusement pre pared for the whole people by the l'rince Consort. We observed a greater and earlier crowd than usual yesterday in the galleries, immediately above the transept, and cor tainly this prospect was sufficiently attractive to entice the visitors. The sun shone mot brilliantly on the crystal fountain below and the whole of the surrount.ing space, and this being tilled with a perpetually moving crowd, had an effect peculiarly varied and pleasing. Many of the visitors thus attracted to the gallery, stopped to inspect a very beautiful piece of needlework contributed by an Irish lady, Mrs. Ward, of Coleraine, and which, as if to make it more peculiarly national, is worked on Irish linen, and represents a well-known Irish subject, the Giant's Causeway. The locality is easily recognised by any one who has ever visited that part of Ireland. The machinery room was, as is always the case on shilling days, densely crowded ; all the machines were at work, and the people watched their intricate operations with every appearance of attention and enjoyment. The police numbers were J 7,314, and the receipts 2,8631. 6s.

With the remembrance of their hospitable reception, they take back information of utility to their country, and thus contribute to the fulfilment of the great object of the Universal Exhibition.

SUICIDE IN BATTERSEA FIELDS.—YCSteDIny after noon, between the hours of two and three o'clock, a person who was crossing Battersea-fields, observing the body of a man lying, as if asleep, he called to the recumbent person, and warned him that his hat would be stolen, but, not re ceiving any answer, he approached, and, upon turning over the body, found it quite inanimate, and near it a peol of blood. the unhappy man had laid the muzzle of a pistol, which was found near him, to his heart, and shot himself. Death must have been instantaneous. Upon his person were found half-a-croiln and some coppers, and a letter without a signature or direction. Deceased is apparent) between 20 and 30 years of age. An inquest w be held on the body to-morrow. FATAL STABBING CASE AT MANCIIESTER.-41 man named John Gleeson w as brought up yesterday, at the Manchester Borough Court, charged with killing another man, named Joseph Younghusband, by stabbing him with a knife. A woman who keeps a public-house in Stratford New-road, Hulme, said the prisoner and de ceased were drinking at her house on Saturday evening last, when they had a dispute as to whether Younghus band or another man in their company had been furthest from land. At last the prisoner got up and struck deceased. This was the first blow struck. The prisoner wanted to bet a sovereign that the other man had been further from land than Younghusband had, but witness picked up the money, and would not allow them to bet. The men then went out and commenced fighting. She saw the prisoner throw a stone at a man named Keats when he got outside. Witness did not see anything that took place further, but about a quarter of an hour afterwards she was told that Young husband had been stabbed. The prisoner was sober, but deceased was drunk.—Wm. Kean, a joiner, said he was present when the dispute took place. When they went outside the public-house to fight, witness told the prisoner he had better fight him than Younghusband, who was a little man. The prisoner then struck witness on the head with a stone. The prisoner then ran into a butcher's shop which was close by, and witness beard him say, " be that b—'s death." Ile could not see what took place further, except that the police came up and took the pri soner away. A man named John Holding said he saw the prisoner run into the butcher's shop, followed by 20 or 3() people. Witness went to see what was the matter, and saw the prisoner on the floor, under the chopping block. De ceased was pulling him by the hair, and the lust witness was licking him. Witness then saw the prisoner make a thrust with a pocket-knife at deceased, who was leaning over him. Kean, on being interrogated by the magistrate, denied that he had kicked the prisoner, as described by the last witness. Witness was not quite sober at the time. A person named Moses Brown said he was standing in the', butcher's shop when the prisoner run into it. lie had an open knife in his hand. lie was followed by a crowd of people, and Younghusband (the deceased) tried to take the knife from him. He afterwards saw the pri soner on the door against the chopping-block and Kean was kicking him. Witness saw the prisoner at the same time strike twice at the deceased with his knife. Deceased was sitting on the end of the block, and fell off it when the pri soner stabbed him. Witness then called in a policeman, who took the prisoner into custody. The constable who apprehended the prisoner said he found the deceased lying on the floor in the butcher's shop, and an open knife was 1) ing besida him. Dr. James Wilkinson said the deceased was brought to his surgery at nine o'clock on Saturday evening. Life was then nearly extinct, but not quite. lie found u wound, about an inch long, penetrating the left side of the heart. Ho bad not the slightest doubt that il.ath was caused by this wound. The prisoner was com mitt.d for trial at the next Liverpool Assizes.

'McQueen, Esq., the barrister appointed to revise the list of voters for the borough of Marylebunc, held his court yesterday, at the Court-house, Marylebone-lane. In the AU Soule district, Mr. John Michel&ld, of 46, Foley-street, claimed to be on the regis ter. He had sent in his claim before the irith of August to Mr. Rutland, the collector of the district in which he re sided, but the collector had failed to transmit the claim to the overseer. —Mr. Unett, one of the collectors of poors rates, said, under the local acts of Marylcbone, the colli srora were the acting overseers—The Barrister said if such was the fact, then the claimant in his opinion was safe. The act of parliament clearly laid it down that a claim must he sent in to the overseers, and that if the collectors under tho local act were overseers, then he thought he would be justified in placing his name on the list.-1 he claimant, in answer to a question, said he had been on the register twelve years.—Mr. WI/Dwell (a ratepayer) objected to the assumption on the part of the collectors, that they were overseers of the poor. He denied that there was anything in the local act of parliament which constituted them overseers any more than individual ratepayers.—Mr. l'onchaud (a coilecter) said that in small cuuntry pa rishes the overseers themselves collected the rites, but in a great parish like that of Marylehme such a course would be impracticable. The e illectore, therefore, made out the lists of voters, and performed other offices such as were usually delegated to ov.rseers.—Mr. M'llowall still con tended that the vestry of St. Marylebune were in fact the overseers; they struck the rates, and not the collectors.— The Barrister observed that it Was not within his pro vince to decide a question of who were the proper persons to make a rate. What he wanted to ascertain was, whether the collectors were really the acting overseers. After some further discussion of the same point, the Barrister said, ou considering the circumstances of the case, however much he must deplore the hardship upon the claimant, it had originated in a slovenly practice on the part of the collec tors in assuming to be overseers. In his opinion the col lectors had done wrong; let every man stick to his own business for the future. Inasmuch i.s the claim had not I reached the bunt fide overseers, it must be disallowed.— Claim disallowed accordingly. HERTFORDSIIIRE. — The court for the St. Albans district was held on Friday. The parish of Harpenden was called on, but the overseer of that parish was not present, nor did he come during the day , the barrister there tore ordered him to be summoned to attend at lloddesilun, on Wednesday, a distance of mere than twenty mike. In the parish of St. Stephen, Mr. Bontems had objected to eleven tory claims for rent-charges, and, no attempt being made to defend them, they were all struck out. The fol owing is the result of the day's revision :—Liberal gain claims; 2t); objections, 38 ; total, 07. Tory gain claims, 417; objections, 9; total, 50. Liberal gain to this time, 237. ory ditto, 224. WEST-H.lni NG.—Messra. Boothby and Temple, two of the barristers appointed to revise the lists of voters for the present year, held their court for the Halifax polling district at the Town-hall, in Halifax, on Thursday last, but as neither of the political agents had made any objections, the lists were speedily revised, the barristers having merely to go through the objections made by the respective over seers and make the necessary alto ations where parties had changed their residence. The whole bw.iness did not occupy a couple of hours, after which the barristers proceeded to Ilehden-bridge to revise the lists for that district. We be lieve there will be a slight gain by the radical party, owing to the apathy of the conservatives in not making their claims.-11alifax Guardian. CLERICAL. ORDINATIONS.

(Erma tte Montane Herald.) A letter signed with the name of an esteemed cor respondent, and complaining of certain editorial remarks suggested by Mr. Disraeli's recent speech at Aylesbury, appeared in our impression of Saturday last. Although we have nothing to retract from the language which we have felt it our duty to use with reference to 3lrDisracli's sound and practical advice to the farmers of Bucks, and although we can discern in that language little to excite either too apprehensions of our correspondent or the anxiety of farmers generally, we are not disposed to receive the com munication of our correspondent without availing ourselves of the opportunity thus afforded to advert to a matter of vital interest to all parties concerned in the eventual tri aph of the national cause. is not to be concealed that the lino of policy which Mr. Disraeli has deemed it his duty to adopt, whe ther addressing his own immediate constituents or the Speaker of the House of Commons, is far more calculated on the first blush to ,gratify his free trade opponents than to excite unbounded confidence in the minds of his protectionist supporters. There has been, fer some time past, a studious renuncia tion of the protectionist fight upon the part of the honour able member for Bucks, and on equally determined effort made to throw the whole controversy sufficiently open to in clude within its limits adherents and friends whose favour and support would otherwise bo unequivocally expressed upua the other side. We must all of us be aware that the progress made by Mr. Disraeli in parliament during tho lost year or two has been effected, not because he has de clared himself more and more decidedly a protectionist, but became he has sought more and more vigorously to enlist the sympathies of all parties in the state in favour of his agricultural clients, by the aid of pleas hitherto excluded from the protectionist argu ment. We owe it to Mr. Disraeli to assert, that in the pur suit of the great object which is evidently at his heart — via, that of settling us 51)1..114 as possible the differences still existing between the rival interests in the state, and the heart-bunlings still rankling amongst the tillers of the soil —there has been no attempt at concealing his views, and no desire shown to reach one goal by pretemiing designs in a totally opposite direction. Mr. Disraeli may have been impruileutly candid or over eager to make terms with the toe, but there is nothing of false pretence in his proceed ings. It is manifestly idle, then, for Gee-traders to warn fanners of the more than probability of another speedy be trayal and another general cry of treachery in the camp. Mr. Disraeli has not ceased to believe in the justice of those protective laws which once enabled Englishmen to contri bute cheerfully aed largely to the exigencies of the state, and to derive a decent subsistence from the prose cution of their callings. lie has not given us to understand that he is no longer disposed to secure Mr native industry the advantages wallets: which protectionists hold it impos sible ter prosperity to continue in the laud fur any time. On the contrary, ne claims respect for the part lie took in the defence of the repealed policy whilst figl g promised a chance of rescuing that policy from total overthrow : and fie defies all who would impeach his sincerity to point to one occasion when he has shrunk from the vindication of protectionist principles, if such viudication has been re quired either to unnuesk the fallacies of the free-traders or to justify the complaints of his own supporters. lint w hat the lion. member fur Bucks has now ter many mouths endeavoured to elle-et—and what, it would appear from his recent speech at Aylesbury, he is still bent upon uccom plishing—is, such a restitution as shall give to agricul turists, if not all to which they are fairly entitled, at least sufficient to enable them to hold their heads above water until full justice shall be done to their cruel and most un merited position. It is difficult to say that Mr. Disraeli is doing less than his duty in arguing for the poor instalment of justice which he looks to obtain by the present moderation of his tone. It is abusdautly clear that protectiou is nut yet within our reach. The very parties who ate struggling for its resto ration, and who refuse to help Mr. Diraeli when their.co operation would have gone far to secure the advantages the lots of which they new deplore, have postponed, by their own culpable inaction, the indemnification to which they are entitled, and which the good sense of the community at large will, we are satimed, eventoally grant. But if it be impossible to fix the tisto when the national cause shall again triumph, and if we know that another parliament must, at all evenss, be elected be ' fore the question can again be practically or usefully dis cussed—are we to reproach Mr. Disraeli, or to suspect his fidelity for a moment, because he avails himself of every opportunity within his reach to mitigate hardships which, under present circumstances, are nut to be effectually re medied, and partially to repair wrongs which he finds Min self wholly unable to redress? In Buckinghamshire, where he resides, he beholds agriculture fearfully depressed by legislation, and unable, without legislative aid, to main tain its ground; he sees daily before his eyes men lasing their substance, parting with the means of life, robbed of the fruits of their industry. Ile discerns one mode of relief — one way of helping the struggling through the hour of their trial--one feasible plan of recouciling even free-traders to lowa prepared with the direct object of helping the cultivuturs of the soil—one possible remedy for some, if not all, of the grie vanees under which one class is gre, g from the direct operation of free trade laws, uud he is eager to assuage, if he cannot wholly remove, intolerable pain. hold lie forfeit confidence on this account ? Is he leas a protectionist, be cause he may, haply, extort from the free-trader something short of protection fur the intuit:aide relief of agricultural suffering ? has he insisted upon a mitigation of agricultural burdens when it has been easy for bin to wring from the Rouse of Commons a measure based on the principle of agricultural protection ? Because the honourable gentleman commit achieve intpossilnlities he must out be upbraided fur grasping tit what is practical and possibly attainable. If others can do more than he to meet a pressing hardship, let some scheme fur general deliverance he shewn. Nu such plans have hitherto appeared. Tho farmer has suffered long enough, but none of his friends lime as yet devised a remedy even fur temporary relief. The only suggestions made on his be half have proceedml from Mr. ILsraeli, and that they were nut altogether valueless and from the purpose is evident enough from the fact that the Reuse of Commons last ses sion all but ratified the protectionist's arguments by a ma jority of its votes. We are as satisfied as our correspondent can ho that no mere re-distribution of burdens upon land can ire any way dispose of the great question which free-traders and pro tectionists have yet to settle with the country, and upon which the country itself in good time will nut be slow to pronounce. But we are equally certain that sus picion ur questioning of a talented advocate's motives, and attempts to thwart difficult and praiseworthy efforts in any one direction of relief, will only serve to in crease the trials of classes already sufficiently de pressed, and to harass still more. indefatigable party leaders already more than ordinarily embarrassed. It seems to be forgotten that it rests not with Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli whether or not protective laws are to be speedily re-enacted, but with the whole community, whose voice must be respected where alone it can be legitimately heard —in the Commons' House of Parliament. Whiist Mr. Disraeli is seeking for immediate advantages for the farm ing interest, even under free-trade enactments, by all means let nothing be wanting to prove to the public mind the utter hopelessness of persisting in an attempt which France, America, Germany, and every other state refuses to imi tate, and approves of in England only inasmuch as it contributes to its own especial advantage. The field is open, and the topic by no means ex hausted. Between the present hour and the general election there is much to be dune. The hollow cry of pros perity will be proved more hollow as time advances. The absurdity of building national happiness upon a general scramble fur cheapness is becoming hourly more apparent. Mr. G. F. Young has shown how much may be done by the eloquence of facts and figures in the way of enlighten ing the public mind. Let every protectionist follow Mr. Young's admirable and patriotic example to the full extent of his ability, and Mr. Disraeli will, at the same time, be performing nu unnecessary labour in striving for a redis tribution of those burdens which by common consent weigh at this moment with most unjustifiable pressure upon tide shoulders of the agricultural classes.
