They form an exquisite epitome of the moral and economical philoso- phy of protectionism. The land wants drainage. Even a protectionist peer had been made at length to under stand that thereby thepermanent value of his properties may be greatly improved. lie is not unwilling "tohave the honour to be your thorough draining friend," pro vided you do the work yourself, or pay others for doing it out of your own purse. But you must also, in order to come within the range of such friendship, be already a little rack-rented, paying from thirty-five to fifty shillings an acre, as most of Lord Dowiutmag's tenants do. For the rogues who hold their farms at 11. au acre—which Mr. HVITABLE declares is the outside price which any former can afford to give for land in these times—nothing whatever will be done. It is the suffering class of tenant farmers who can no longer afford to pay the old monopoly rents : it is for them that msr quiies and earls shed parliamentary tears, and then charge so much additional rent as interest of outlay for drainage. This is the true combination of fine sentiment and "cutting fine." It shows clearly enough how consistent and mincers is the demand for high rents. Under all - possible and impossible circumstances the protectionist sticks to his text. Sensibility for the difficulties of the far ince is bat a disinterested name tor sensi tiveness regarding hie own pecuniary risk of diminished rental. Appreciation of scientific im provement is but a learned epithet for being wide awake. And as for patriotism, we know not who would love their country if they did not who sell its moil in the dearest market, and buy their hereditary honours and emoluments in the cheapest. Talk of Sir Emma Pent.'s letter to his tenantry, what is it compared wish that of Lord Downsittan The thrifty baronet bas been censured for not dis tinctly promising to maim abatements; but the mar quis is a cooler hand, and promisee to raise his rents in general, and more especially on those who do not already hold their farms cheap. This is what may, indeed, be called thorough-draining; and it must be owned that the sportine marquis heads the field like a genuine thriessgb-bred. Tux way inwhich the purchase of the Danish Forts in Guinea was announced the other day, led us to sus pect a job, but we have satisfied ourselves that the opt ' ration so laboriously masked is innocent and judicious. The simple fact turns out to be, that Denmark posses sed three or four forts, with ill-delked territorial rights to the eastward of the British and Dutch forts on the Gold Coast; that the trai , :tenance of these was at her charge, while her commercial flag never went near the ports, except to carry thither government stores; ' that their administration was an rveak, that the slave trade was riot wholly suppressed et points which should have been under their influence; that the go vernment at Copenhagen formed the determination to have done with them—a evermination combst, d by cur government—England having all the trade of the settlements at no charge ; and that it was only when the resolution of l)rnmark to sell them to some body could not be longer combated, that our government resolved to accept them, and pay Denmark 10,0001. for the buildings, and military and other stort s. The motive most potential with the Foreign-office probably was, the fear of seeing France acquire them, and set up there the rutrictive system of trade, and oppressive system of government that bureaucracy causes that ;anent nation to espouse abroad. We do not fear the long continuance of the mons:rolls colonial system of France, but it would have been commenced a* Accra and Quittah with the same result of turbulence and trouble which has attended its introduction everywhere else among the Africans. Better reasons, at least more positive recommen dations than this prevention of evil, could, however, have ta , :en e:attd. The Danish forts give us inci easel influence over the most promising country in Western Africa, over the most intelligent, industrious, and orderly of the native African races—the only race, indeed (on the coast, at least), that can organise a government deserving the name ; and Ashanti and Dahomey deserve tho title of states. In th , . adjacent territories, under the influence of England and Holland (the rule of the latter country has been on the nme principles as our own), great and sub stantial progress hu been made: trade, production, and population have increued; property and life have been as secure as in an English county; and the natives have entered on a career of imitation of European habits in dress, dwelling, language, and manners. Education, too, has been extended, and is valued by the natives. Those who know the West Indies wilt feel the weight of the observation made to us by residents on the Gold Coast, that the English learnt there is really English, and that the jargon spoken by the companies of West Indian regiments sent to the Gold Coast has caused them to - be looked on with great con tempt by the people of Guinea. It was thu to sob stands' service rendered by the existing possessions that those who advocated the purchase of the Danish forts could point. Furthermore, Quittah, one of the poste, is on the Lagoon, the singular inlet of water, frequently communicating with the sea, that runs along the whole ocean front of Dahomey, by which the slave trade is there enabled to defeat our cruising squadron. 'On this Lagoon a considerable trade in palm oil has lately sprung up. Quittah c a n , by its situ ation, most powerfully assist this corn , mace, the only efficient foe of the slave trade. The country produces a good deal of cotton, manu factured by the natives into cloths, which (our Man chester readers may be surprised to hear) are ex ported in considerable quantities to distant parts of the coast. And the merchants acquainted with the country, we understand, propose to make efforts to promote the growth of cotton for export in the raw instead of the manufactured state. II pee Cent..

Tue election which took place last week at Shore ham may afford to parliamentary reformers an opportnnityof exemplifying the anomallesof oar repro mutative system. Ibis " borough," as it is called, is, in point of fact, no borough at all. It is a small county within a county; for it includes a sixth part of the county of Susarx--a county which in extent is one amongst the largest of the kingdom. It wee is the year 1771 that a cue was brought before t►e notice of the House of Common. relative to Shoreham, which was unparalleled for electioneering infamy, even in those grossly corrupt days. The THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 4, 1850. BELGIUM. BILUIRIBLS, JAW. 1. Amongst the numerous addressee to their Belgian Majesties, delivered on the occasion of the New Year, the one eminating from the Chamber of Representa tives, together with his Majesty's reply to it, is the most worthy of attention. It was observed in the address in question, that on commencing the year which will dole the fi at half of the 19th century, the Belgian nation could discover, with sentiments of o p n ri e de oo , euthpaietd_itsooexfisartenuce duration t f io re n e w a i ld eo in n d ee e ra pe ed nd_ a ent more important place in that period then even its annexation to France or to Holland. Recent politi cal events had left Belgium—thanks to the cha racter of its institutions--in the most advantage ous position. Although not powerful enough to take part in great international discussion', that country possessed, beyond its fronters, an influence second to none, by showing other nations the objects which should be held in view, as well as the means for at taining them. Even in highly cultivated countries, such as Germany, the Belgian fuedamentsl constitu tion had been very often referred to, appreciated, and turned to account. Belgium, obeying the true laws of humanity, and understanding the future, had not ceased to tread judiciously the path of progress, by extending, for example, the elective franchise as far as po‘sib!e, abolishing the stamp duty on newspapers, releasing certain categories of persons from the pay ment cif taxes, increasing the moral strength of the legislature, establishing funds for the aid of the work ing classes, and for providing them with re tiring pensions in their old age, and by adopting a great number of administrative measures which manifest, in other respects, a lively sympathy for the woiking classes. In conclusion, the address expressed ardent wishes for tho welfare of their Majesties and the royal family, thanking the King for imbuing the princes with constitutional principles and true patriotism, and the Quten for showing them the example of all virtues, above all, of a truly Christian charity. To this address his Majesty made the following reply : Oentlemen,—l am happy to find myself surrounded anew, on this solemn occasion, by so numerous a deputation from the Chamber—a Chamber which has eminently distinguished itself by its wisdom, its high intelligence, and a true under standing of the iateresta of the country. Belgion nation-.lit encompassed by so OSLO, Mill, and having to peas threue h so many diffizulties and !hreatening casualties, has be , n en abled to attain to consolidation, thanks to the exemplary I spirit of its population. We have a great wad noble future berne us. In eider that our nationally may be strong and durable, two things are retaired—it must appeal to the heart and to the mind. and must be based on feeling and on reason. The hqrmony and widow of the Chambers may do muck to preserve these valuable airmen's. In this country a goad understanding clic' between the rich and tlevatelicla,ses of society and the working etas eq. The latter only ask for work. Every thing must be done, therefore, to allow of the produce al their labour being adve otageously disposed of. The attain. ment of that object is the greatest service that could be ren dered to the cred•coriducted working ague, so calm and so dented to order.

CALUMNIES AGAINST KOSSUTII THE PENINSULAR MAIL. 'rho Orien'al Company's steam packet Puha, Capt. John Weeks, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. Langton, RN., Admiralty agent. Iler dates are : Gibraitar, 26th ; Caws, 27th; Lisbon, 29th; Oporto, 30th; Vigo, 3tst Deo., 1649. The present mail brings but little political news. A government officer embarked at Lisbon, charged with despatches for Viscount Moncorvo i and the packet was detained beyond the time of sailing, by order of In r Majesty's minister, far his despatches. Tee quarantine is etill kept up with rigour in the Spanish ports, and the authorities say they can take no mutinies to do away with it, without express ordrrs from the Supreme Junta at Madrid. At Gibraltar the Board of Ilualth have petitioned the governor to rerla:e it from six to three days, but the result was not known on the departure of the packet. At the ri civet of her Majesty's Consul, the marine authorities hive sent the Minerva, brig-of-war, from Vigo, to look tar the wreck that was seen by the Jupiter packet, but as yet she has not been successful. This vessel lies in the immediate track of vessels, and having or ither masts nor bulwarks, is extremely den itirous. S.ie was last seen a Jew miles to the N.W. Id Cups Finjeterre. TO TUT EDITOIL OP Till LIPIIEB. Stx,—Sinee the publication of n aerie of calumnies in the Times, to which that journal refused to insert my refutation, the re have appeared in it other specific charges against Kisauth, Sze m. r , and Peresel. Kesisath is accused, as trustee, of having fraudu lently sold the property of orphans, and of only having been saved from criminal p-nueution by an arrangc ment with e e prosecutor. It is furth r alleged that so little confidence w..s placed in him that an inquiry was made of Ruth (the prosecutor) as to whether the signature to his receipt was genuine. The number f the very act of the tribunal is cited, and it is sought to impress the reader with the belief that M. Kossuth was iguiatised by a judicial sentence. You very properly observe that such specific charges seldom immediately admit of popible cisproof, though as in this instance, the known life and character of those against whom the accusations are directed, stump them as unworthy of belief. It would, of course, be impossible for you or myself' immediately to stow that Kossuth was not, the mur derer of Eliza Grimwood, and if this system of reek le ss calumny be persevered in, it will, unfortunately, become a duty to prevent the perpetration of a public wrong. through personal attack, by personal exposure of the incriminator/. The facts are brie fly these. About 1830 Kossuth re r d red himself utonexio..s to 'the Austrian government by being chiefly instru ' mental in the congregation (a meeting of electors) of I the scanty of Zemplin, in causing a vote of censure to be passed upon their representative, Baron Vey, who had vote 1 in the Diet to allow the Austrian cabinet a supplementary 20,000 met. At that period, as long afterwards, it is well known that Austria sought to crush all rcaistancc by fair mean, and foul, and no stone was left un turned to be revenged on Kounth in the next meet ing of the congregation. It was, at lenth, raked up that he had sold some pr. duce of the property of Ws orphan wards in an informal manner. That is to say at the wrong time and without the participation of the necessary co-trustees. The duties of trusteeship, it is to be ob served, are in Hungary most complicated. The con gregation, in consequence, annulled the sale—a pro ceeding which for party purposes conveyed a rebuke to Kossuth as a lawyer, but intended no reflection on his integrity or good faith. The purchaser applied to Kcsauth for the amount of the purchase money, which was returned. It is to be observed that if any attempt to defraud his charges had been made or suspec'ed, the &des judicialia, whose especial duty is the protection of orphan wards, would and must have taken cognisance of the act ; whereas, the charge of irregularity was never entertained by any judicial tribunal, the con . gregation being merely deliberative and administra tive, not judicial in its functions. Of the bearings of the case the countrymen of Kos suth must have been the best judges. It was subse quent to this, as you have justly remarked, that in proof of their confidence men of the highest cha iracter, rank, and standing in the country, proposed to endow him with estates; but your readers may ' not be aware that amongst these was the unfortunate Count Zichy, whose patriotism Austria had not yet corrupted ; it to probably not known that the charge made by the Times correspondent was brought for ward in 1t343 by one of the vilest of the Austrian organs, the Vilay, and that Count Szechei.yi, who was then a p.litical opponent of Kossuth, in his paper, the lelenkor, rebutted as an infamous calumny the accusation; and it msy not be remembered that Koesuth was named Minister of Finance by the Em peror Ferdinand, and as such biought into contact with the imperial family. The calumny against Szemere is the rechanp, of an electioneering squib, when be set up fur the t:Junty of Biorsod in 1843, and ire founded on the following inci dent. M. Szemere was dancing with Mies Verestnarthy, at Miecole, when one of her diamond ear-rings fell upon the ground. Szemere picked it up, and observing, " You have lost it, I have found it, it is a fair prize, I shall keep it as a souvenir,"—put it into his pocket in jest, and only returned it the next morning with a complimentary note or verses. The charge against Perezel of having for a sum of money legalised a forged bond is equally false. I am informed by a Hungarian gentlemen now in this country, and acquainted with the transaction, that Fenzel, being a very young man, was imposed on as to the ideutil of the party whose signature he authenticated, bat himself 'hoovered and exposed the imposture which had been practised, and resigned in consequence of the mistake. In tact, this wilful confusion of cause and effect is made by the Times correspondents, that they contend these person ages to have become inimical to the government in consequence of such charges, wherein it can be shown, beyond all doubt, that these charges were urged because they were its known opponent'. All who are acquainted with the parliamentary his tory of Hungary, and the recent history of Austria, are aware that there are no forms of fraud, perfidy, or perjury to which the Austrian cabinet did net le sort—from the attacks on individual character to the bravos which she hounded upon such men as Count Teleki, or to the Gallician massacres perpetrated at her proved instigation. But in the method its attacks upon the Hungarian re fugees, and in Particular upon Kossuth, it may be said to have exceeded even itself. It is not content with the most slanderous imputations on his charac ter, but artfully endeavours, by appending his name to a forged address, to discredit him in pubiic estima tion as visionary and unpractical. To yourself I need scarcely confirm your recorded opinion, that the "farewell of Kossuth to the Hungarian," published on some Austrian authority by the Times, never pro ceeded from his pen—a pen far more given to figures than to figures of speech, and with whose predictions, once read, it would seem impossible in good faith to have confounded the loose and melodramatic effusion so mischievously, or with so little judgment, attri buted to him by the 7Yrries. _ Happily for this country, Mr. Editor, many of year readers will be slow in crediting the possibility of such systematic persecution ; for their instruction, I shall conclude by adverting to a circumstance which gives reason to believe that those who have been at tempting Kneauth's moral assassi , ,ation have End. c voured actually to take his life. In the month of October last I was present at the ex-pre•ident go vernor'. table at tea. It is the custom of Eastern Europe to favour this beverage with a fewepco- cfull of rum. On the occasion in question, it was found that the Ppirit instantly curd'Act the milk, and tumid it a pecidiar colour. The same spirit taken from &nether bottle did not produce the same effect. The auspicious liquid was removed, an accident re vented its being analysed, and the circumstance was nearly forgotten, wht n a Iluagalion officer, accompanied by two of his comp.n;ons, came to give information that a stranger hearin g a Russian passport had been inching numerous in quiries as to Kenneth's cook, the dishes that he ate, and his medical ,:dvisir. The Ilungivian suspecting hie drift, had led him on, till the stranger Lifer( d him a present for his introduction tu Kossuth's doctor. It was agreed that the doctor should be personated by a gent!eman just arrived frm Hun gary, but as the matter was talked of before 'oven' persons, it got wind, and the individual in qipstion, ish nd of eorninw to the rendezvous, precipitately left Widdin.—l am, Mr. Editor, very obediently y ore, THE AUTHOR OF " REVELMIONS OF RUSSIA."
