despatch from Captain Walpole. He did not know from that officer what had taken place, and therefore any expla.- , • taation he could give now must be incomplete. It was stlll, however, his belief, that the conduct of that officer Would, upon examination, stand in that light in which every body must wish the conduct of a British officer to appear. The time would come when he would explain to the Hon. Gentleman the whole of the facts connected with this case ; and, in the mean time, it was only neces• vary for him to request the Hon. Gentleman opposite to bear in mind the principle upon which we have acted with respect to Portugal—namely, not to involve this country in the civil dissentions of Portugal. Though we ad mitted the right of the Qneen, yet we did not think it ne . Canary to involve this country in the civil dissentions which at present distract Portugal. The Right Hon. Gentleman repeated that the time would come when the whole of the facts of the case would he explained in detail. Sir CHRIST. COLE considered it extremely unjust to cast the stigma of inhumanity on Captain Walpole. If he understood the correspondence which had been publish ed right, the Portuguese had received an intimation from this GoverlVnent not to land in the island in question, which was known to Captain Walpole, and if he had received orders to prevent them from landing, however unjust such orders might Ise, yet the officer only did Isis duty in per- forming them. • Mr. G. DAVENPORT stated, that the Hon. Member who had just sat down had not attended to what he said. Re stated, that though, by the account published in the l'ewspapers, it appeared that a shot was the first argument, yet he could not believe that such was the case, and he gave credit to Captain Walpole for making some previous signal, and that that circumstance had not been stated in the Portuguese account. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid on the table a copy of the convention with the King of Spain for the final settlement of the claims of British and Spanish subjects, preferred under the Treaty signed at Madrid, on the-12th of March, 11823.—Ordered to be printed.

We learn that the paragraph of the King's speech relating to the liberty of the press was re ceived with loud acclamations. In the course of the dis cussion M. Portalis observed, that the protection afforded by F rance to Greece would not he withdrawn till its indepen dence should be acknowledged, and its liberty put beyond the reach of those tyrants whose yoke it had thrown off. With regard to the debt of Spain, he observed, that out of the 80 millions which bad been acknowledged as owing, four millions of Rentes would be paid to France every year. The other debts pf Spain would be made the subject of another convention. hi NCH FUND9,-.-PARIS, FEE. 7.—Five per Cents., 109 E 'Mc. 80c. ; Three per Cents., 76f. 50c. 60c. 55c. 60c. 55c. 50c. ; Bank Actions, 1810 f. 1807 f. 50c.

He came in a travelling car tiage, accompaimied by Mr. N. P. O'GORMAN MAHON, 1114 -th e Mover and Seconder at the Clare Election. Mr. O'CONNELL arrived at Birmingham at eleven °l . c igelc yesterday morning, at which pl ace b e was delayed for short time, in consequence of an acci t having happened to his carriage. lie was soon recognized and received with loud shouts of ap- Plaine by an immense multitude, which he acknow ledged apparently with much satisfaction. I t itt understood that Mr. O'CONNELL will not proceed to take his seat for the County of Clare for some time yet, We shall have more to say on this subject to-morrow. The Allgemeine Zeitting of the 3d inst. contains tome news from Constantinople of Bth January. The arrival of M.

The weather has now become so very bad that all the communications are interrupted, and the roads wholly im passable. We accordingly have not the smallest intelli gence from the countries on the Danube. VIENNA, JAN. 29.—Metalliques, 97 7-16; Bank Shares, 1,108. • Though several days hare now intervened, since the KING'S most gracious and ever memorable Speech announced to one-third of his MaiEsrv's subjects, their restoration to liberty, and the unalien able rights of citizenship,--there are yet moments in which we can scarcely believe that it has been our good fortune to witness this great event—to see the fetters of Ireland at length burst asunder, and that fair portion of the earth recalled to its proper station amongst the kingdoms and principalities of Europe. BHt, in adverting to the long history of her wrongs, it is far from our intention to triumph over her now dismayed and overwhelmed op pressors. We would leave them to the punish- ment of their own conscious hearts, and we would earnestly implore our Catholic fellow citizens to prove by forbearance and generosity, that their religion; however immutable in doctrine, is not so in that spirit for which they were once un happily distinguished; but that they have kept pace with Christians of other creeds and professions, in advancing through each successive age towards that enlightened charity and good will to men, without which orthodoxy and heresy are alike abominations in the eyes of our common Saviour. Nor are we willing to confound with the selfish and heartless oppressors of the Irish nation—those whose conscientious scruples had induced them to withhold her unquestionable rights. Even in the hour of their defeat, we can admire the undeniably sincere though mistaken zeal of Sir R. INGLts, and are almost induced to respect the desperate obsti nacy of the Earl of ELDON. As to those, whose rapidity of conversion has cer tainly overstepped alike the expectations of friends and of foes, we can only say that we hail with de light their desertion from the ranks of the enemy, whether they may have been instigated by honest conviction, or merely allured by expectations of advancement and emolument. It ia, no doubt, perilous for most characters when a de parture from political consistency is accompanied by worldly aggrandisement ; but, on the other hand, it is not to be denied that where conviction of error (though long persevered in) flashes on the mind, no consideration of ridicule or reproach should pre vent a manly acknowledgement of the change which has taken place. The phenomenon of a vast number of simultaneous conversions may induce the cynical mind to indulge in suspicion—but we are ourselves too much lost in delight at the glorious result, to question motives or hazard spe culations. The wonderful individual to whom all this glory must be chiefly ascribed—is really too far exalted to be affected by our humble praise—bat we would again offer to him our sincere and hearty applause for having delivered his native land from a far more frightful tyranny, than his great competitor in the field ever threatened to inflict on captive Europe. Truly formidable as the power is which he now wields, may he long retain it, if it is to be employed for the welfare and glory of the British Empire. The French Papers contain no news of political importance. The Chambers entered into a warm debate on the KING'S Speech, but the Address was carded by a majority of 213 to 8. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

JUDGMENT.-IN THE MATTER or CLEMENTS, A SUPPOSED LUNATIC. His LORDSUIP had read over the affidavits in this matter with great attention, and the parties and everybody must be sensible that the jurisdiction which the Keeper of the Great Seal had to exercise in cases of this nature was of a most delicate description; the Court was satisfied that the impression which it entertained at the hearing was a correct one ; that opinion had been strengthened by the reading of the affidavits. Mr. Clements was clearly incompetent to govern himself, and it was therefore necessary he should be under the controul of some one. Many observations had been made at the Bar on the conduct of the party by whom the petition had been presented ; it was unnecessary fur the Gnirt to say what opinion it entertained with respect to that, because, if it was satisfied that this gentleman was not in a condition to manage his affairs, whatever opinion it might entertain in that respect, it would he necessary for the Court to adopt some measures by which the property might be safe. With respect to the personal comforts of Mr. C. thole he now enjoyed under the care of his wife were quite satisfactory to the Court, it was impossible for it to inter fere to render them more so. The only question was, whether the Court, in its jurisdiction in lunacy, ought to interfere for the security of the property. It appeared by , the affidavit of a gentleman of the name of Gunter, that se veral powers of attorney, deeds, and other instruments had been executed by Mr. Clements. Taking the whole of the affidavits together, the Court must consider that it had been done under the direction of others under that of Mrs. C., but there was nothing whatever to induce his Lordship to say that that direction had been improperly exercised. The question then would be, whether the person who was to have the control of this gentleman's property was, or was not, to be guided by this Court. On reference to the case of Ridgway and Darwin, the facts of which were similar to the present, his Lordship found Lord Eldon did not direct, in the second instance, a commission, but took measures for protecting the property; he made a special order upon the principle of preceding decisions. Whether this course should be pursued with respect to this gentleman the Cmirt was not at this moment prepared to say, because the affidavits did not explain sufficiently what the state of the property was. The Court would be extremely un willing, if it could pursue safely another course, to grant a commission, which would have the effect of exposing before a jury the infirmities of this old gentleman, and perhaps be the means of still further injuring the powers of his mind : if therefore his Lordship could, upon further information being presented to him as to the nature of the property, make such an order as would secure it without a commission, acting upon the principle of the case to which he had alluded, his Lordship would feel much dis• posed to adopt the course there laid down ; but if, on the contrary, upon seeing what the nature of the property was, and the former connection of this gentleman with the bank, it should find it impossible so to do, however pain ful it might be to the feelings of the Court, it would feel bound to direct a commission. His Lordship wished Mr. Horne, in pursuance of what he threw out, to apprise him more distinctly what the nature of the pro perty was; and, after the Court had received that infor mation, it would give its judgment whether a commission should or should not go. The Court wished it to be un derstood that it considered all discussion as to the compe tency of this gentleman at an end. Mr. HORNE concurred perfectly with what fell from the Court, and promised to give his Lordship the fullest in formation possible. IN THE MATTER OF MITCHELL. His LORDSHIP retired into his private room to proceed with this matter, which it is expected will still occupy several days. We understand his Lordship will not sit to-morrow, having to attend his Majesty at Windsor, upon, the Recorder's report. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. Lord TENTERDEN disposed of a great number of unde fended causes this morning, none of which were of any public interest. Mr. • Justice PARKE heard motions of course, and the Court bat in Banco at half-past eleven o'clock. ALEXANDER V. LAWSON. This case arose out of an action for libel against the printer of the Times newspaper. It appeared that in the first instance the house of the defendant, who now pleaded his own cause, had been destroyed by fire. He had brought an action against an Insurance Office, and had recovered upon the evidence of a young woman named Levi, who had afterwards became deranged, and been taken . to a police office, when as examination occurred which left little doubt that Alexander, the plaintiff, had in. duced her to forswear herself at the trial. This examima- tion was published in the Times as a police report, and Alexander brought an action for the libel. The defendant pleaded a justification and the general issue; he obtained a verdict upon all the counts of the declaration, but a verdict was returned for the plaintiff on the general issue, with 6d. damages. The Learned Judge certified to deprive the plaintiff of his costs. The defendant then arrested the plaintiff for his bill of costs, which was taxed by,,the Master, and reduced from 1801. t o 123/, and he was taken in execution. He subsequently obtained a rule to show cause why he should not be discharged out of pri son, and relieved from the payment of the defendant's costs, on the ground that the Judge having certified and deprived the plaintiff of his costs, the defendant could not recover costs from him. The question turned on the effect of the Judge's certificate, and the case was adjourned yesterday for the attendance of the Master, who was now present. The case was now brought on, and Mr. Platt contend.. ed, that as every plea of the justification was fully made out, the defendant was entitled to a judgment as much as if he had also a verdict on the general issue. He cited a case, " Lewis v. Clement," in support of his proposition. The COURT ordered the Master to review his taxation, and stated their intention to look over the pleas of justi fication. THE KING V. SEYMOUR. This defendant was brought up again this morning, and Mr. Sergeant WILDE continued at great length his argu ments to procure a new trial, and prove that the evidence against the defendant was against all probability. Judgment was not expected to be given till a late hour. LETTER OF THE EARL OF WINCHILSEA, TO THE PROTESTANTS OF GREAT BRITAIN, Fellow Countrymen, Brother Protestants—ln the name of our country and our God I call upon you, without one moment's delay, boldly to stand forward in defence of our Protestant constitution and religion—of thst constitution which is the foundation of our long-cherished liberties--of that religion which is the source of the many blessings which this nation has received from the hands of the Al mighty Governor of the Universe. Let the voice of Protestantism be heard from one end of the empire to the other. Let the sound of it echo from hill to hill, and vale to vale. Let the tables of the Houses of Parliament groan under the weight of your petitions, and let your prayers reach the foot of the throne ; and though the great body of your degenerate senators are pre pared to sacrifice, at the shrine of treason and rebellion, that constitution far which our ancestors so nobly fought an d di e d, yet I feel confident that our gracious Sovereign, true to the sacred oath which he has taken upon the altars of our country to defend our constitution and our religion from that church which is bent upon their destruction, will cot turn a deaf ear to the prayers and supplications of his loyal Protestant subjects.

SUGAR.—Business to some extent is doing in Plantation Sugars, and the delivery last week from the West India Docks was nearly 3,000 casks. The stock is now about 25,700 blade. and 1,718 tree. The dealings in Mauritius are on an encreased scale, and the delivery last week ex ceeded 980 bags. The stock is now reduced to 19,742 bags. In Foreign Sugars not much is doing to-day, but the markets for all descriptions are steady. 6:IFFF.E. —The transactions continue on a limited scale, without any variation in prices deserving remark.

It is said the attention of Government has for some time been drawn to the subject of encouraging the culture of Tobacco in all the British Colonies, but this cannot be carried into effect - unless a bonus is held out in the rate of duty.

EAST INDIA COMPANY'S SALE.—(THIS DAY.) This morning the Company's Quarterly Sale of Salt petre, Spices, &c. took place at the India House, and was well attended. SALTPETRE.—Upwards of 500 tons and 1200 bags were offered, and owing to the recent demand were ex pected to•sell readily; the sale went off at from 245. 61 to 265. per cwt., being an improvement on the last sale's prices. SricEs.—About 2000 bags of black pepper unsifted were offered, and produced from 2i-61. to Sid. ; 600 bags of white, 61d. to 7d. ; ditto inferior, .54t1. to S:W. per lb. CASSIA LIGNEA.-100 chests, 90s. to 925. per cwt. THE SILK TRADE remains very heavy. 0,1 Friday an extensive prompt in Silks, purchased at the last Com pany's Sale, will be in the course of payment; until the next sale at the India House not much is expected to be done.

Bristles, in firm qualities, obtain very low prices; firm qualities maintain their value. Henip and Flax, little doing. Carrox.—The sale of Surats went off pretty firmly on Friday. The market is more buoyant, and the demand expected to revive soon for the Spring trade. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. The beautiful play of Cymbeline was last night per formed at this. theatre, on which occasion Mr. YOUNG re sumed his favourite part of Leonatus Posthumus, and . went through it in his usual gentlemanly style of excel lence. Ms. COOPER did lachimo and fully justified Posthstmus's epithet of the "yellow lachimo," inasmuch as his face was as red and florid as a Dutch cabbage. In some parts, however (especially in the scene of the wager) it is but fair to state that he evinced both spirit and dis crimination ; his chief defect was the utter absence of the Roman about him, in look, dress, or manner. He was dressed indeed in the toga cilia, but the costume sat as awkwardly upon his shoulders as would the Bishop of London's lawn sleeves upon an apprentice in a breeches-maker's shop in Shoreditch. Miss PHILLIPS was, of course, the graceful, sensitive, and romantic lino gen, one of SIIMCSPEARF.'S very loveliest creations. The poetry of the part lost nothing of its high character in her hands—while in grace, spirit, and enthusiasm, her perso nation was equally perfect. Her mode of replyin; to the insidious advances of the "yellow" lachimo, and her de livery of "did my Lord say so ?" in answer to some sus picious accounts the tempter had put forward respecting his conduct in Rome, were admirable, and produced an electrical effect. It is also with considerable satisfaction that we feel ourselves justified in praising her legs, which, in her assumption of male attire (in the 4th act) she, had ample opportunities of exhibiting in all their delicate and symmetrical proportions. Such a display was, of course, too inviting not to attract a full house, and pit, box, and gallery were accordingly thronged. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. LITERATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW.—No. XCVI. Notwithstanding its advanced age—for five-and. twenty years are almost an eternity for a modern periodical—the present number of this Review still puts forth a sterling spirit of freshness and juvenility. Of late, indeed, it has wondrously improved in quality; nor can the whole extended compass of our modern literature afford finer specimens of style or thought than are to be found in the historical dis sertations that have from time to time adorned its pages. In the present number we do not recognize the eloquence of this particular reviewer;. but nevertheless, his absence is in part atoned for by the presence of other excellence. " Lock hart's Life of Burns," which forms the sub ject of the first article, is ofa rambling and discursive but highly interesting character. It says little or• nothing on the subject of Mr. Lockhart's merits as a biographer, but enlarges at length on the character of Burns as a poet and as a man. On these two points it puts forth many ingenious and some few new opinions, which have the additional recom mendation of being highly favourable to Burns. A comparison is also indirectly hinted between him and Byron—an idea which Mr. Allan Cunningham ad mirably worked out some months since in the " Lon ' don Magazine," as men, though fixed in different spheres of life, ofa congenial turn of thought and feel ing. There are other minute points of excellence in the article, which will escape a hasty perusal; it there fore deserves attention, which if only for its free and natural eloquence it will abundantly repay. " Bishop Heber's Journal" is a slight, hasty analysis of that truly fascinating publication, the offspring of one of the most exuberant, refined, and variously cultivated intellects that England ever produced. The Review is prefaced by a complimentary notice of that -great and good man, which we have the less hesitation in passing over, inasmuch as a eulogium on Heber• is so far from being novel that it has been repeated . by, we really believe, nine out of ten, of the English periodicals. Enough therefore to state that it is well written. Ap pended to this Review is some account of a pam phlet eatited " Freedom of Trade and Settlement in India," in which the opinions of the writer, who is altogetldr favourable to an unrestricted trade with the East, are ably canvassed and illustrated by his critic. We give the following practical proof of the benefits of such commercial intercourse—they are worth a thousand theories : " The author , has made a very striking and triumphant exposition of the prodigious increase of the trade since its partial opening in 1815, and proved, at the same time, that this cannot be ascribed either to any accidental change of circumstances, or even to any increase of activity or im provement of policy in the Company ; as it happens, that the increase is confined to those articles only which have been taken up by the free traders, while such as have re mained in the hands of the Company have either continued stationary, or, in spite of the new excitement, have actually declined and gone back. In 1814, the last year of the absolute monopoly, the whole exports to India and China amounted to about two millions and a half. In 1826, they had risen to very near five millions; the increase being confined to India, as the monopoly is still maintained as to China. The total imports in 1814 were little more than six millions ; in 1826, they were better than eight ; the smallness of the proportionate increase being clearly ex plained by the continuance of the monopoly as to tea, at all theirs by far the most considerable article of import. The author, indeed, has shown, by a detailed statement, that while the actual quantity of tea imported had not in creased, in twenty years, by so much as 12 per cent., the supply, with a view to the increased population of Great Britain and Ireland, had in reality decreased. in a propor tion of not less than 30 per cent. ! while the consumption of Eastern coffee had more than doubled since the intro duction of the free trade. In cotton goods the progress has been still more remarkable. In 1814, the quantity exported. was 818,206 yards ; in 1826, it was not less than 26,225,103, and steadily progressive. The whole Indigo trade and manufacture, producing an export of nearly two millions per annum,- is a creation of the free system. It is almost the only branch of industry which Englishmen have been allowed to practise in India ; and the consequence has been, that, by the signal improve• ments in the manufacture introduced by their skill, capital, and energy, the commodity has been so much improved, as to have driven the American article nearly from the market, and to have extended our trade and connexions, upon the safest of all bases, to the amount that has now been mentioned. In all the other manufactures of Indian produce, to which Englishmen have been allowed to apply themselves, the consequences have been equally remark able; and the author specifies in detail those of tin ore, antimony, gum lac, and safilower. But the most re markable case, as he gives it, is undoubtedly that of the far more important article of opium. The trade in this article was opened in 1815 ; but the Company, as sove reigns of the only accessible countries where it then grew, maintained their monopoly, by taking the culture entirely into their own hands, and strictly prohibiting it every where but at their own establishments; and the conse quence was, that they continued to sell an inferior article at a high price, and to a limited extent—the chief con- sumers being in China and the Indian islands. They are actually said to have paid the cultivators no more than 141. for what they sold in the market for from 2001. to 4001. The first invasion of their privilege was by the Americans, who speedily undersold them in Turkey opium in those very markets; and the remedy or revenge was, to impose a prohibitory duty on the free article, within all the range of their own territory—thus establishing a virtual mono poly, in favour of the Americans, against their own subjects !" " The American Tariff" is a masterly and tri umphant exposition of that injudicious system of prohibition by which the United States have lately thought to extend their commercial resources. It is altogether an article of a practical character, plain apd unornamented in style, but full of facts and sound reasoning. The following passing allusion to that great master-mind which first broached, or at least brought into activity the generous and com prehensive system of Free .Trade—a system by Which England is now so honourably distinguished above all other nations, and which is already pro ducing its advantages, does credit no less to Mr. Iluskisson than his eulogist. The writeri we should premise, has been descanting on the present enlight ened character of eur commercial connexions with the world, and contrasting it with the antiquated prohibitory system. " That changes so extensive, and immediatelyaffecting the i f e n: te d e r e s t w s i o t f h a large slittleo b inconvenience,ody of pop clamour, have snd o e p e n e f p os sition, as have been experienced, must be ascribed partly to the more general diffusion of sounder opinions, and partly to the discretion that has been displayed in the in troduction of the new system. Mr. Huskisson has not been more distinguished as a bold and extensive, than as a prudent and cautious reformer of our commercial code. It w to be expected that be could b e th e prin cipal ulaogte indeed,nti n su ch various and important changes without exasperating many individuals, and rendering himself the • object of much calumny and abuse. But we arrogate very little of the prophetical character when we venture to pre dict, that when the factious brawls and wrangles of the day have been forgotten, it will be universally allowed that the glory is due to Mr. Buskisson, of being the - first British Minister, whose whole system of commercial policy was founded on sound, liberal, and enlarged principles; and who laboured earnestly and successfully to promote the power, happiness, and glory of his own country, not by seeking to exalt her at the expence of others, but by open. ing her ports to the ships and goods of all countries, and making her the centre and animating principle of a vast commerce, founded on the gratification of the reciprocal wants and desires that subsist among nations." After discussing the nature of the last Americe !ariff, in a spirit hostile indeed, but far from intern- perate or sarcastic, the author follows up his asser tions by the following practical illustration, which, within the compass of a few tines, hart the merit of ARRIVALS.

THE 'SPEAKER'S DINNERS.—On Saturday the Speaker commenced his Parliamentary dinnem The first was attended, as usual, by the leading Ministerial Members: amongst them were Mr. Secretary Peel, Mr. Dawson, &c., but Mr. G. Bankes was not present.— There were 25 sat down to dinner with the Speaker. His second dinner was on Sunday, which, according to custom, was attended by the leading Opposition Members. —There were 28 present : amongst them were Lord John Russell, Sir James Mackintosh, Sir Robert Wilson, Mr. Brougham, &c. These dinners are given in a large, grand, and antique room, immediately under the House of Corn. - - mons. The dinners are deemed the most tasteful of any ever given by any Speaker. It is understood that Mr. George Bankes re signed, on Saturday, the office of Secretary to the Board for the Affairs of India.--Morning Paper. setting the absurdity of a prohibitory system in a most powerful and resistless light : " Let it be supposed, in illustration of the effect Of pro.. ' hibitions, that America has been accustomed annually to import a million's worth of woollens, or some other ma nufactured product, from Great Britain, France; or any other foreign country; and let it be farther supposed, that in order to encourage the manufacture of a similar article at home, she prohibits its importation. Now, in this case—and what is true of this case is true of all restric tions whatever—it is, in the first place, plain, that to whatever extent the home demand for the produce of Ante lican industry may be increased by the prohibition, the fo reign demand fir that produce will he equally diminished. Commerce is merely an exchange of equivalents; and those wbo refuse to import, really, by so doing, refuse to export. If America4wase to buy a million's worth of pro duce from foreigners, she must, at the same time, .cease selling to them a million's worth of sumo other species of produce ; that is, she must cease sending to the foreigner the articles she bad previously been accustomed to export, to pay the articles obtained from him, that are in foam, , , through the agency of the prohibition, to he raised at home. All, therefore, that ,li e will accomplish by this measure, will be the transference of capital from one branch of industry to another. That equality of protec tion, to which all the citizens of the Union are justly en - titled, will be encroached upon ; the increase of one cm plovment will be brought about by the depression of some I t i c i tl y te a t i • i e ta n g q e loy olust.nerit; But it to say t is obviously iousiylie face least, toatrir;:lva thats e ttl suchal!y a measure can make the smallest addition to the capital and industry of the republic, or to the ficilities of em ploying them with security and advantage. " This, however,:is to look at the measure in the most favourable point of view. It is necessary, in the second place, to advert to the price at which the prohibited ar ticle will henceforth be sold. if the American manufac- turers could have produced it as cheaply as the foreigners, the prohibition would not have been thought of, as the ar ticle would not have been imported, The price must, therefore, rise when its importation is prohibited. Instead of being obtainable as before for a million, it will hence forth cost, perhaps, a million and a half, or two million,. Now it is obvious that the effect of this artificial increase is precisely the same, as to its operation on the consumers, as if a direct and peculiar tax had, owlet a free system, beta laid upon them of 500,000/. or 1,000,000/ a-rar. Eat it will be observed, that had such a tax been laid on the consumers, its produce would have come into the hands of Government, and would have formed a portion of the na tionaiincome; whereas, the increased cost of the article is, under the circumstances supposed, occasioned by an in creased difficulty of production, and is, therefore, of no ad vantage to any individual." To those who wish to be inoculated with the fashionable mania of the time,—the doctrine of poli tical economy,--we would recommend this article on the American Tariff; it is limited in its character, certainly, and embraces only one branch of the great tree of political knowledge; but that branch is a main one, shooting out immediately from the parent trunk, and impregnated with its most vital juices.— The article has, besides, the merit of strength Of style and condensation of materials. " The North west Passage" is an admirably written account, :roduced with a sketch of the different discoverie.-; in the Polar Sea, previous to the expeditions of Parry, of the most recent enterprizes in that very frugiferous quarter of the globe. The Reviewer goes over ra . pidly, but in a most scientific manner, - the late ex cursions made by Captains Parry and Franklin ; re views their favourite theories respecting the practi cability of a North-west Passage; and after pointing out some fallacies in Mr. Scoresby's reasoning on the subject—to whom however an (mottle honourable is made in the remark, that he probably knows more about the matter than any other man in Europe —conies unhesitatingly to the conclusion that such a passage is practicable, thought it must ever remain at the mercy of circumstances; and can consequently prove no further advantageous than as it may correct the errors of geography and extend the boundaries of science. " Importation of Foreign Wool" is a technical but somewhat unamusing paper; by readers in general it will, we fear, be passed over in utter dis;respect, but to the fortunate individual in particular who is acquainted with the mysteries of this branch ofcommerce (which a celebrated novelist of our own times wishes, we dare say, had ever remained mys teries to him), it may probably prove attractive. " Rationale of Evidence" is a sound and temperate analysis of Mr. Bentham's claims to popularity as a philosophic legislator. The article on the whole is laudatory; though the sage's humours and peculia rities, the uncompromising character of his remarks, and his occasionally wayward freaks of thoughi, are dwelt on with a just and discriminating hand. It is singular that this gentleman's celebrity should be so exclusively of a foreign cast. In England he is scarcely known, and seldom quoted except for the, purposes of ridicule; while on the Continent he is generally admired, and in one or two places almost idolized. A stranger in Westminster, he is farui.. liar to the nations of Brazil; and though ridiculed at St. Stephen's, is in great request at Canton. "W e recommend, therefore, the " Rationale of Evidence" to those who wish to become acquainted with his character. The King will hold a Court on Wednesday next at his Palace at Windsor.
