The Kieg of the Two' having takes the sufortosato step of Writing into his dominions • noble lord who had been stirrier up rebellion at Komi, the invited* wee accepted, and the rush was, that that noble lord's presenee—far, no doubt, from his in. tantioa—warkod sp • state of diequist;into ono of actual re habs. The rosy supposition id med:ation on the part of the nobleman to whom he referred, had, unhappily, the Sag of Owing smileace to the =surge-at party. Now, as to the stale of the relations of this country with the Kkg of the Two Sicilia, at the moment when Laed Melo% diplomatic mad= ceased, they had no inbrinatios whatever; none had been given by the government, and the eimleadictory 'menet' ia the pablie papers, of cum, could set be relied upon.

That some change night have bun inferred from the circumstance of that all being motioned in the speech from the throne as " the k lieg of Naples," he was wiling le admit—(Mar, hear)—bat on such a subject parliament eaglet not to have bees left to conjecture. Suspicion had, however, received confirmation in a considerebla degree from the bet that rumour had bean spread to the effect that arms had been seat, under the authority of the goverment, to the Sicilian iesoresate early In the hat au tumn ; bat before he put a qamties se the subject to the sable lord, he certainly had not hatimhead that he was cogni sing of the het, much le.. that se* a trusautiou had the sanction of • obis= minister. It was with great sarprisa that he had heard the Foreign Secretary state not esly that be authorised the transeetion, but teat at that memont he SW nothing objectionable is it. From such a statement it was impossible not to ceselade that the noble lord did at the time easider Sicily a separate and isdepudent mu try. New he believed that the foots of the cm. were thou.

TUE " farmers' friends" have learned to mimic the League with considerable exactness. They pet Mr. Disasxm to give notice of a motion in the House of Commons, on which their party is to have a great field day; and they get up local meetings, and aggre gate central meeting., at which resolutions intended to add weight to the parliamentary motion are moved, seconded, and carved. They go through the forms remarkably well. If they had but a measure that they were sincerely intent upon carrying, and fol lowers who had one grain of faith in their profes sions, their agitation would be really formidaVe. At the grand aggregate protectionist meeting at Willis's rooms on Trio:day, there was a fair show of parliamentary protectionists on the platform. But with the exception of the nob'o duke in the chair their moues were her metically sealed. They either wishel to hear what the practical egricultur.sts had to say, or they affected to do so as an excuse fur holding their tongues, well aware that if they spoke they must say wrist would not be palatab!e, or what their votes of this evening were likely to belie. The Duke of RICHMOND could not get off without saying a word or two: e•ilnien courtesy required that he should do something more than make a bow in return to the customary vote of thanks to the chairman with which the proceedings wound up. His Grecs was "mach pleased on the occasion to hear the yeomanry of England." And yet even the selected yeomanry showed to speak in the preseoce of their land'ords bad uttered woids which must have jarred in the ears of magnates on the platform. A resolution was passed in favour of total and immeJi.te repeal of the malt and hop duties, which the farmers friends are now trying to persuade the farmers do them no harm. Mr. CREETLIAII told the noblemen and fp a dmen on the platform that an estate which a few years ago let for 7001. now brought 4,0001. • year, that this was because of the increased produce and that, "as the increased produce was grown with the tenant's capital, the tenant ought to receive the be nefit of it . Mr. BENNETT objected to the govern ment road bill, " because it proposed to throw the whole management of the roads into the hands of the magistrates, who were an irresponsible body ;" and "counselled his fellow-farmers to see that the country members walked 'Haight,' and if they failed in the slightest degree in the performance of their duty, to look upon them as burdens on the land which must at once be got rid of." Mr. FORD moved a resolution, declaring that the tenant farmers " have witnessed with deep regret a seem ing indifference, in both houses of parliament, by many of those who were considered the natural guardians of their rights and privileges." The Duke of RICHMOND showed considerable command of eoritenance in affecting to be gratified by such awk. ward compliments as these. Henceforth he may rank with TALLETRAND, who it was said could receive a kick behind and retain an expression of gra tification on his face ; or with the ostler, who, under the eye of an intending purchaser, takes every kick of a vicious horse with a smiling exclamation cf " frolic some little rogue." And yet the language held by the " picked men of counties," allowed to speak before lords and gentle men, was in some respects mealy-mouthed enough. They conformed to the sentiments of their aristocratic allies; were sri. set about reduc•ion of expenditure in the presence of offioers in the army and their con nexions ; and talked about protcct:on in words bor rowed from their chairman. Bat the practical agri culturists throughout the country, especially when they get together by themselves, talk in a different style. Bear witaiss the able and earnest declarations in favour of r.cluctd expenditure at the great auti malt-tax meeting reported in this day's paper. These men are in earnest, and not in a mood to be satisfied with such an evasion as Mr. DISRAELI'S motion. The farmers throughout the country express similar sentiments : they want to have something done, and of that motion nothing can come, nothing is meant to come. In parliamentary practice the house is asked to go into committee on a resolution, with a view, if the resolution is approved, to base some measure upon ;t. But Mr. DISRAELI'S resolution is too vaguely worded to be made the groundwork of any measure. He asks them to go into eimmittee of the whole hors "to take into its serious consideration such as - -" &c. He *mks them to lay __ . .

A word or too on this practice of calling Mr. COBDEN end other corn-law repealer. et.em es of the farmer. Corn-law rel eat was s.ot demanded to injure the farmer, but simply to do justice to all chutes Corn-law repeal was ultimteey carried mainly by the Efforts of the manufsc urers, and in the heat of controversy words indicating anger at the farmers who upheld the corn-laws may have cusped from many of them. But the corn laws were assailed by parties entirely unconnec ed with manu'acturcs, and friendly to farmers, long before the manufacturers moved in the question. ADAM SMITH, who demon strated the injustice of the principle of the corn laws bad no amine prepossession in favour of the manufacturing class, but on the contrary a truly Scotch d •fe:ecce for "lairds." Colonel TuomrsoN, the apostle of the anti-corn law faith, had no interest in manufacture& Mr. WOLBECHE WHITMORE, whose unintermitted prote-t, in parliament against the policy of the corn law have been too little remem bered by corn law repealer, was a landowner.

It is Mr. CoBDEN and Mr. LATTIMORE, as representing those who live honestly on their own meal a and their own labour, against the Duke of Itictillottn and others, who would take their property and give it to pen sioners and ainecurists. Let us Lear no more nen . sense about accepting help at the hands of enemies, where there are none bat friends. It is to the com bined effor4 of the earnest malt-tax i re pealer in the count:es, and the fi nancial reformers n totens, that we must look for relief from wasteful extenditure and excessive and unequal taxation. WHEN we stated, some nine or ten days heir, that the Hungarians had been completely victorious in the rod:ben and in the southern regions of their coun try, in the mountainous districts of the Carpathians and of Transylvania, whilst Dabreckzin and the plain country beyond the Theiss was equ illy inexpugnable t 3 the Austrians, few of our readers probably credited an account so directly contrary to all that the Him garian bulletins and our tory parries related. These journals themselves, however, have been com pelled to admit that the bulletins of General Weeper( at Vienna are entitled to no credeece. In Transylva nia, it appears that the succour afforded by the Russians hashed bad consequences for their auxiliaries, lied most destructive ones for the Austrians. It has in- twisted the Hungarian tribes. The Broilers, one of thesetribes, attacked the Russian corps with the utmoet fury, occaioned it great loss, and would have annihi lated it, had the Russian garrison of Crocstadt not hastened to its assistance. The entrance of the Russians into that fortress, as well as into Hermanstadt, left General P ecu Nut free to unite all his forces against the Hungarians. The result was an action between him and General Beat, which lasted from morn till night, and which ended in the total discomfiture of the Austrian general, and the destruction of his force. The Russians can do no more than keep within the walls where they lio ensconced ; and their having permed the frontier at all has added so much to the exaspe ration of the Hungarians, that a fresh insurrection of the provinces that submitted, and even of civic Croatia, is expected. One of the startling facts which we adverted to last week was, that the famous General Seamen, who has been represented in the Austrian bulletins to have gained some score of battles in north Hungary, had been beaten, and his corps annihilated. Scicaici advanced three months ago from Gallicia, and minion vred on the high read which leads from Poland over the Carpathians to Perth. Gen. SCIILICK, we reported. had been oblig.d to take refuge in Pesth, and was afterwards sent to join WINDISCUOEATZ. The Aus trian bulletin-mongers themselves now admit this, re well as the important result that the entire of the mountainous districts ore in the bands of the insurgents. Instead, therefore, of the Hungarians awaiting the pas sage of the Theis' by WINDISCHGRATZ, they seem to have aammed the o ffensive, and their victorious corps, descending from the mountains, have occupied Hat van, within three posts of Perth, meaning to cut off the communication between that city and the Theiss at Zolaok, where WINDISCIIOItATZ has a division, sad where he seems to meditate crosgag. The Austrian government fully feels its dangerous position. New efforts are making to raise recruits, and this with a vigour which the emancipated pea sants of Bohemia grumble against and resist. Italian and Hungarian recruits are no longer to be trusted; and men have become as difficult to find as money. I The disgrace of not having been able to preserve even the German towns and districts of Tressylvania and the Zyps, and the ne enmity of having recourse to the humiliating resource of calling in the Mutiny, have destroyed every tape and prestige attached to the nano of the young Emperor. His emission to the throne has been followed by what to every German is the ex treme of dishonour. Many re e whet they have lost, none what they have gained, by the deposition of the late emperor. Tyranny and executious at home, defeat and dishonour abroad, with bankruptcy inevit able, are what is partisans cell the rtawcitation of the Austrian empire. COLONIAL. JAMAICA. THE WRECK OF THE FORTH. The following is an extract from a private letter re ceived at Southampt .n ye rday via America, from Gm achy, dated Jan. 19: " 1 suppose you have heard b: fore this reaches you that our gallant old Forth hes gone down. Thank God I ant likely to see you again safely. She struck on the south-ess: side of the Alacranes on the 14th of January. There were 126 persons on board at the time. When she struck, the heavy surf was breaking ea violently over the reef, that we all expected to go to the bottom. The masts were soon gene, and the Forth began rapidly to break up. A couple of our boats were swamped as soon as lowered; the others were immediately crowded with psesengers, who wete all huddled together under the lee side of the wreck. Just •s we were about to make an effort to get through the breakers into smooth water, a sail was seen near the island of Perez, 'lhe rejoicing amongst as was very great, I can as sure you, at this welcome sight. Lieut. Molesworth, a gallant fellow, who was one of oar passengers, end who was on lie voyage to join his ship, the Wellesley, volunteered wi'h four men to go over the dangerous reef and communicate with the vessel that was seen. This ho accomplished, after encoun'ering great diffi culties, in first-rate style. "The sail proved to be a small schooner. She came se close es she could to us, and as many aepos sible got on board of her,end ►he then started for Perez. The eta wee making a clean breach over the wreck at this time. We left it about 1 o'clock in the day. Everything that we could save we did ; but all was ' nearly spoiled in consequence of being so thoroughly soaked in salt water. We had a tremendous and dangerous pull of ekVOll miles to reach the island. Thank heaven we all reached safely. " When we arrived, which was not till evening, we found we had very little water and Fovisioas for so many Robinson Crimes, so we set to work, and after patching op our boats we began pulling tt) and fro from the island to the wreck fur the next two days, picking up what provisions and water we could get at. Fortunately we met with a brigantine at Perez, and on the 17th, in the morning, we left that island for this place. We did not arrive here until the I afternoon of the 18th. A vessel is about b lag chartered, I believe, to convey the mails and crew and passengers to Vera Cruz., and I taunt to-morrow that I shall leave this villanous place." The journals from this colony, which, owing to the loss of the Forth, did not reach us by the Severn, have at last cane to hand. The Forth left Kingston for Havana and the Gulf on the 7th of January. The Clyde, Kingston with the mails for England at 3 p.m. on the 23rd, to meet the Forth on her return from the Gulf at Havannah. That vessel not arriving, and her loss on the Alacranes having been ascertained, the English mail was forwarded to New York,whence it was brought to Liverpool in the Niagara. An ac count of the loss of the Forth will be found in another part of this day's impression. The Jamaica legislature had not re-assembled at the time the mail was made up, and all political affairs remained, of course, in atolls quo. In the course of January Port - Royal bad been enlivened by the visits of three American steamers in the course of one week. One of these was the Oros, destined to run on the Charm river another, the Isthmus, intended, in connexion with the Falcon, to run between New Orleans, Havana. and Chagres ; the third was the Crescent City, oa Its return from Chsgres, whither she had carried 150 Californian emigrants from New York. The communication between New York and Chagres (en route to Cali fornia) is to bo kept up by three powerful steamers— the California, the Oregon, and the Panama; and these are to touch either at Havanah or Jamaica. [Far =nob see hot page.] CEYLON. Extract from a letter from Colombo, dated Jan. 4, 1849. There is hardly a man in Ceylon who has not been per fectly disgusted with Boni Grey's insolent letter and snap pish reply to the very proper, sensible, true, and well-worded memorial of the mercantile body at Colombo ; and Sir J. B. Torment still persists (see his speech) in telling the council about the people's liking the ordinances, &c. Instead of such special pleading, why did he not mention that he Wil publiely hooted both at Gallo and Butticaloa about these new taxes se soon as he began his very awkward attempt to explain them? Why did he not, atter that, try to explain them at Trincomalee, whither he went for the' ostensible purpose, bet dared not open his mouth on the subject, nor venture to go to Jaffna at all ? The fact it, he did encounter a most vigorous opposition in council, and no one opposed him with pester effect then the Queen's ad-' vacate. We think it will puzzle Earl Grey and Mr. Hawes to get up anything short of a very lame story to meet parlia ment with. They will probably try to carry things with a high hand ; bet take my word it, the more Lord Torrington and Sir J. B. Tonnent's acts are known In England, the more ice penal's will be found the necessity to remove them both from Ceylon. They have committed the grossest blenders is their aboard attenapterer rather experiments, in taxati in and I ;and they have bad to withdraw, sucesesively bat q , the iniquitous shop tax, the dog tex, and the gun tes t inf the latter into a mere registration. Of course Ms sort o work unrettlee the minds of the people, and samerrages them, moreover, in the very dangerous idea that they have only to rebel to gain their point. And, as to Berl Grey's Mulish about Sir Herbert Maddock, I am sure he knew very little about Ceylon. SIR ANTHONY AND LADY ROTHSCHILD had a errand dinner last evening, when Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston and a circle of 20 guests were present. iore o p p lz" all the duties remitted ; and he asked th em trli;atbe, had not more to fear from tt e remission of the malt d u sty et its f x?ortation, by which fore - ep.ers had ea oppartue* it; lending their animals cn English malt duty free, 'h au n any competition in tho production of malt or malt hquore of toliale argued , l experi ence any kind ?

Hyde, a gentleman e ell acquainted with the open.' Lion of the taxes in this country. Mr. Hyde said : These raise taxes, as well as others on raw materials, haw es . thee Injurious effect—that of operating in all cases to enbeese tM prim by a large consequent per mange on increased capitilempleyy by the manufacturer and vendor, sa the following statemeit ass Ave duty on salt was 30s. per cwt.; the price thee in KHertford, snd other places, aitusted with reference to t of transit, was 40s.

With very great regret, he was obliged tort. membir that in the year 1829 re meeting was held witbia tics very walls where they were now assembled for precisely the same purpose which had called them tosober upon this oe. canon.
