THE BOOK OF COSTUME; OR, ANNALS OP FASHION, With numerous illustrations by the first artists. We con gratulate the public on the appearance of this elegant volume, which, besides being an unerring text-book on every subject relating to the decoration of the person, is a most entertaining narrative of the singular changes made by both sexes, in the various . articles of dreae, which have b een in fashion in all countries from the earliest times. In one view the reader is led from the simple garment of a primi tive people, through all the modifications of national cos tume—Chinese, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman, Moorish, In dian, Circassian, Turkish, modern Grcek, Spanish, Italian, Swiss, Bohemian, and every other characteristic mode of dress in use in othe r part s of the globe. The principal fea ture in this interesting work is, however, its History of Cos tume in England, in which we trace all the changing fashions introduced amongst us by Romans, Danes, Saxons, Normans, Italians, and Frenchmen, down to the last ex ample of Parisian elegance -of the nineteenth century. A more elegant pres en t f or the fair sex, whether as a book for the boudoir or the d raw i ng - room table, than this churning volume, it is impossible to conceiye. RAILWAY SUN.

V ire , . . r\likk voned by literature, or by manual employment, has still so general and undeviating a tendency to render its victim in curably insane. If these reformatory experiments have not already continued too long, the matter, nevertheless, de mands the scrutiny of the Legislature. fntelligenco has been received from Lisbon dated 9th May, from which it would appear that the tyranny of COSTA. CABRAL and his brother is becoming too odious to be to lerated by even the most peaceably and loyally disposed among the Portuguese. The insurrection in the northern provinces, so far from having been put down, was daily extending, and Oporto itself had been the scene of a tumult and conflict with the military, in the course of which some lives had been lost. The rally ing cry throughout, the country is " Down with the Cabrals." In consequence of the unconstitutional conduct of the Cabrals in the Cortes, the old friends of Don PEDRO and the constitution in the Chamber of Peers have, headed by the Duke of PALSIELLA, seceded from that Chamber in a body, while in the Chamber of Deputies a motion for an address to the QUEEN, beseeching her to dismiss her Ministry, numbered among its supporters RODERIC° DA FONSECA MAGALHAES, who as a Minister of the Crown was one of the most upright that Portugal ever possessed, and whose views and conduct as a statesman and politician have ever been of the most moderate character. Although the Cabrals possess the confidence of (the more correct phrase, perhaps, would be the control over) the QUEEN, and are supported by the KLNG-CONSOILT and the Camarilla, yet it seems extremely probable that her MAJESTY may find it necessary to dismiss her obnoxious Ministers unless, indeed, she should prefer risking her own throne to depriving the Cabrali of their portfolios. Among the seceders from the Chamber of Peers are the Marquis of LOULE. the husband of the QUEEN'S aunt, the Viscount DAs ANTAS, who commanded the Portuguese Legion in Spain, the Marquis of ABEANTES, and the Viscount SA DA BANDEIRA. They have published a protest containing the reason for their secession. This is the unconstitutional conduct of the Minister of the Interior, ANTONIO CABRAL, who in the Diario, the only journal suffered to be published in Lisbon, actually in the reports of the debates in the Cham ber ordered the speeches of the Opposition Peers to be sup pressed. This they denounce as a breach of the 20th and2sth articles of the charter, an offence to the Chamber, and an atrocious calumny on the Members affected by it. Madrid Papers of the 9th and 10th have arrived. The Gazette of the 9th publishes the Ministerial circular, announcing that the new electoral law will be put in force immediately, and directing the political chiefs to proceed to the formation of the electorate lists, which are to be published on the 30th of May. According to the Tienipo, a conspiracy has been detected in Granada, and the colonel of the regi ment of Albuera has been arrested, together with several officers and soldiers. The Eco del Conzercio publishes a letter from Malaga, distinctly denying that the parties engaged in the assassination of the colonel of the Granada regiment were actuated by political motives. The Clamor Publico announces that General NAILVAEZ will shortly return to Spain, while some of the other journals state that he is about to leave Bayonne for Paris, from whence he will proceed to Naples on a diplomatic mission. The Infante Don ENZIQUE has received permission to leave Bayonne for Brussels, on a visit to his sister, the Princess IsABEL, who, with her husband, a Polish nobleman, is re siding in that city. Should his Highness wish to visit England in the course of his tour, he has obtained permis sion to do so. The brig Nervion after landing the Galician insurgents on the coast of Portugal, had arrived at Gibraltar. The QUEER was about to proceed to Aranjuez for a few days. MADRID BOLSA, MAY 9.—The Three per Cents. were not quoted, but some private transactions had taken place at 32 13-16 :N for cash, and 32% 33 for time; and in the Cou pons at 20%. The shares of the San Fernando Bank were done at 332, and those of Isabel at 192. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. M. TRIERS bad, in consequence of what passed in the Chamber of Deputies two days before, relative to La Plata, addressed a very long letter to the Opposition journals, on Friday, in justification of his conduct, in and out of office, on this subject. After alluding to the state of things in that part of South An - terica when he last came into office, M TmEns says : "It is in this state that I found this affair in 1840. It was soon proved to me that the desire to bring it to a close was well founded, and that it was necessary to terminate the blockade by a prompt and decisive operation. The Cabinet of March 1 determined on an expedition, which was en trusted to Admiral de Meehan, at present Minister of Marine. M. de Mackau, who now considers every expedition to the banks of La Plata to be imprudent, accepted the command of 6,000 men, seamen and marines, and the mission to act against Buenos Ayres, if he was obliged to do so, in order to have that justice rendered to France which was her due. His instructions enjoined him to demand an indemnity for the French subjects, who had suffered from Rosas' cruelty, a guarantee that they should not be again subject to certain exactions of the Argentine Government, and honourable con ditions for our allies. These allies were of two kinds—the insurgents of Buenos Ayres, armed against Rosas in the _midst of the republic which he tyrannised over, who had re ceived subsidies from us, and the state of Monte Video, which was a regular ally a c ti n g w ith us as an i n d epen d ent state. `For the one an amnesty was to be obtained, and for the other, a guarantee of existence. Rosas, on seeing our forces doubled by the arrival of M. de 3L.ckau, consented to nego tiate. He concluded with M. de Mackau the treaty which has become the basis of the new relations. This treaty sti pulated an indemnity for the French subjects who had been despoiled of their property and ill-used, a treatment for them such as was granted to the most favoured nations; the faculty to return to their country for the exiles of Buenos Ayres who had taken up arms, and for the republic of Monte Video the absolute independence of its Government and of its territory. The treaty, to say the truth, could have been drawn up otherwise, but I never attributed as a fault to M. Mackau the mode in which it was worded. Ile had left France engaged in the Eastern question; he had seen the Cabinet ready to break up on the question of La Plata, and he ought to have been disposed to bring to a close an affair which he knew to be so difficult in itself and become still more so by the complications which had taken place in European affairs. But, however that might be, as far as the wording was concerned, the treaty, if executed faithfully, was sufficient." M. Thiers then gives a very animated picture of the ca lamities and disasters which have taken place since the re fusal of Rosas to perform the conditions that had been agreed upon, and dwells with much energy upon the cruelties and atrocities of that chief, not only towards all who were opposed to him, but also towards French subjects who have been robbed and massacred by his agents. Alluding to the visit of General O'Brien, of whom M. Thiers speaks in terms of well-merited praise for his humane endeavours to induce the English and French Governments to interfere for the immediate repression of the tyranny of Rosas, he observes that Lord Aberdeen, whore heart, says M. Thiers, is upright and generous, had shared in the sentiments which every honest man must feel in such a matter, and consented to intervene. Th e F renc h Cabinet, adds the ex-President of the Council, could not re fuse to co-operatc with that of Great Britain, and a mutualin tervention was agreed upon. M. Thiers here states what were the objects of the intervention, and although he complains that in the terms dictated to Rosas, full and efficient guarantees were not stipulated for on behalf of French subjects, he shows how vain the resistance of Rosas had been to the first de monstrations that were made against him, and then ex presses his astonishment at the French Government not having followed up his advantages, and completing the w or k of honour and humanity. He asks : " What can arrest the action of our Government in pre sence of such a situation? ,!-Is it the difficulty of execution ? Is it the complicated nat . ' of our interests in ch a t p ar t o f America? The difficult yrer execution is almost nothing, if three or four thousand men are sent out. The point is, not to wage war on Rosas in the extent of the Argentine re public, which would expose us to the necessity of running after him across the Pampas; but to join to the three thou sand English who are at La Plata, and to the denationalized French legion at Monte Video, three thousand men landing there, and to force the camp of Oribe. That being done, and no one can doubt of its success, Monte Video would be freed from blockade, the sufferings which we complain of would cease, and our summons to Rosas to evacuate the territory of Monte Video would be attended to. It; when that was done, Rosas was to be acted against merely by blockade, let it be so. I think that a better course could be adopted ; but, in fine, the summons of England and France would be respected, and the principal sufferings of our country men would have been brought to a close. All men, well-informed on the subject, declare that on the simple appearance of a reinforcement Rosas would yield ; for it is the opinion which he entertains of the hesitation of our Government which induces hill to prolong his resistance. The difficulty of execution in re ducing the operation to what we demand is therefore null.' IL Thiers then proceeds to describe the state of things at the date of the last accounts, and concludes his letter as fellows. Our readers will see that the allusion to England is here, as elsewhere, conceived in terms of perfect good policy towards that country The interest is pressing, and the duty absolute. The misfortunes endured by 15,000 French subjects ought to be put a stop . to, against which the mere assertion of seine isolated indi viduals, whom fears or some motives has separated from the the mass of their countrymen, might not to prevail. The allies whom we have compromised ought to be saved ; and since we have guaranteed them by an article of the treaty, since we have summoned the others to evacuate their territory, we ought to cause our summons to be respected. The manner that before any tribunal the case may be justi fied is this :—The French were thought interested enough in what was passing at Monte Video to interfere; the treaty which guaranteed the independence of Monte Video, was formal enough to force Rosas to respect it; he was called on to withdraw, an action was fought for th a t purpose, and then all at once the matter was stopped short, and nothing more was done than this first act ! The English hare 3,600 men, we have 1,300 or 1,400 ; only 2,000 or 3,000 more are re quired to finish the business, and yet the matter remains so ! The French continue to die of hunger and wretchedness; Oribe, in the name of Rosas, continues to despise our sum mons, and we are satisfied! But, then, why interfere at asparedoo first? Why sum mon O r ib e an d R oses to w i t hd raw ? The ,o possible s a s about . blood of the F renc h, i t i s said, deserves to be paid attention t blood of the Fr enc h b e a l leged as a reason, when an expedi tion of 4,0 or r sas 00 much men as was o b u le t . toßbuotsownhtytoshmoaudlda„as co, , andthe j. when hundreds we re l ost i n the a b surd enterprise of the Marquises, which is the laughing stock of both French and foreign seamen ! I must declare that suc h a po li cy common er ssepnesaek and humanity, and ber with temp er . The end of the whole caitnniont but Ciphaaidne plorable. Eith er O r ib e will enter Monte Video, in conse quence- of the wor n - out condition of the inhabitants, and that will be a shameful piece of treachery on our parts to wards the Government created for us and by us •misfor tune for the French, whom Oribe knows b . l •• a 'to e his irreconci liable enemies; a misfortune for and Bue our policy, f o r M on t e Vid eo, nos Ayres, will then be one which power, is opposed to all our interests; or Oribe will not enter there, and this deplorable situation will drag orl our Frenchmen will con tinue to suff er ; our summons continue to be despised by Rosas ;and England, already disgusted, will withdraw. We shall then rem a i n i so l ated, and be obliged to do at last, alone what we refuse to do at present in union with the English. In truth, I cannot conceive such conduct. It is desired to make the English alli ance popular, and the wish is a proper one. Here was an opportunity ; simple, natural. and honour able, to have the troops of the two kingdoms acting together (91 AA object of hUIQUitYI and who MN* i 0 190 Pa 0 rida' THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 19, 1846. culous attempt, the result of which can be nothing else than cruel. Let the men interested in supporting such a policy say what they please of the warmth which I have shown in this matter, I shall persis: in blaming that policy, and es long as I hate a voice to make myself heard, I shall de nounce it to all men of sense and feeling as infamous." In the Journal des Debats of Friday appears an article in reply to this letter. " The letter of M. Thiers (says the Debats) is only an amends honorable. The indiscreet author of the amendment on the affairs of La Plata endeavours to obtain par- don for the defeat which he so awkwardly brought down on the head of the Opposition when it looked for no thing of the kind. The letter is only another edition of his speeches ; there is nothing additional in it, but uncon stitutional attacks against a power which M. Thiers is as much, or even more than any person bound to respect, and insinuations which his former functions forbid him more than any other man to use. When M. Thiere de clares that the Cabinet of March 1 was on the point of breaking up, relative to the La Plata question, we do not know, and we ought not to know, what he means. There was not at that epoch, as well as we can remember, any Mi ' nisterial crisis. If there was any change of Ministry, it would be a.. act coming under public cognizance. But M. Thiers remained M.nister after the mission of M. de Mackau, as is but too well remembered. What may have passed in the Council of the Crown between the King and his Ministers does not belong to public discussion. M. Thiers has no right to state on this subject even the truth, still less what resembles it so little, and this kind of indis cretion is the more strange in a man who reproaches his po litic:ll adversaries with uncovering royalty." The article exte resover four columne, and there is a great deal of personal vituperation which had been much better omitted. With regard to the war itself, the Debats gives the following as the history of its origin, and the expose of the policy which France has pursued : " The war which continues, and which, in fact, has never ceased between Monte Video and Buenos Ayres, was brought on by the Government of Monte Video. It was the emi grants from Buenos Ayres who brought the Monte Videans into their private quarrel with the Government of Roses, and in i:s turn Monte Video wishes to get France into the same quarrel. The real and evident interest of the French residing in those countries was not to mix themselves up with any of those foreign discords. That is what the home country wished, and still wishes. But the Monte Videan Government has succeeded in drawing in a portion, though the weaker portion, of our countrymen. M. Thiers, in regard to this, has fallen into the most unheard-of errors and exaggerations. It is very easy for a man of his fertile imagination to excite the public mind with regard to the fate of 20,000 Frenchmen exposed to all the evils of war and the horrors of famine. The truth is, that the greater number of the French (8,000 or 9,000) are in the province of Buenos Ayres; that there are 5,000 or 6,000 in the country of the Oriental Republic; that is to say, with that portion of the province of Monte Video which is at war with the town itself, so that in the town cf Monte Video, properly so called, there are not more than 4,000 French, of whom only 1,500 have chosen to take arms. These are the 18,000 or 20,000 men whom M. Thiers reduces to the last extremity in Monte Video." The Military Pensions Bill was passed on Friday, in the Chamber of Peers, by 124 to 13, and on the same day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the Supplementary Credit Bill was passed by 138 to 3. Numerous incendiary fires have occurred of late in the department of the Cote &Or, and the mayors of many of the communes in the department have received threatening letters. The strike among the miners at St. Etienne has been re newed. Those whose duty it is to pump the water out of the mines are among the persons who have struck. Unless they resume their occupation many of the mines will be so flooded that it will be impossible to work them. The Courrier Francais has the following " General Comman arrived yesterday morning in Paris, bringing, it is said, the formal resignation of Marshal Bu geaud, with his reasons for that step. The General left Al giers without any notice of his departure by the Moniteur Algerien of the 10th, and it was also with the intent of con cealing this sudden, though not unexpected determination, that the Marshal, notwithstanding his failing health, put himself at the head of the expedition against the Ouaren senis before General Comman left Algiers. It is certain that the Ministry will accept the resignation of Marshal Bugeaud, and it is already said that he is to have the command of the fortifications of Paris. The Duke d'Aumale is to be ap pointed Commander-in 'Chief of the army of Africa, but without any other function or title." This report of the retirement of Marshal BUGEMID from the Government of Algeria is in substance confirmed by the Epoque.

(From The Sun of last Night.) The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet, and former rates were fully maintained. The sales were nearly 5,000 bales, 1,500 of which were on speculation and for export. The letters received this morning from the manufacturing districts, to most of which the result of the division upon the third reading of the Corn Bill was communicated by the electric telegraph, are wz itten in terms of the highest satisfaction at the result; and in the firm expectation that the Lords will pass the Bill, more confidence was displayed in commercial and in manufacturing circles. There are accounts from Port Philip this morning to the 6th January. There is scarcely an item of intelligence of in terest. Sheep and other farming stock were Advancing in yalue, and altogether things looked brighter. A singular paragraph has been sent to us as respects the finances of China. No doubt the payment on account of the demands made upon the Celestial Empire under the treaty with us has rather drained the bureau of the col lectors of revenue in China. The extract is as follows, and it shows at least that his Celestial Majesty is alive to financial matters. The Pekin Gazette states : " Owing to the unsatisfactory state of the Treasury accounts, and general confusion in the financial depart ment, the Emperor has issued orders that the Treasurers of the different provinces shall produce comparative annual statements since his accession to the Throne. It is hoped that from a minute examination of the account to be given in, the Ministers will be enabled to discover whence the present de ficit arises, and take such measures to prevent such evils in future. These returns are to be laid before the public, and will give full details of the income and expenditure. This is the first document of the sort ordered to be printed for ge neral information, and it may be considered as one of the most important events that has for a long period occurred in China. Joined to this ordinance is a list of defaulters in Kweichoo Province, where several district magistrates have been unable to pay up their arrears. The British Securities are very steady this morning with rather an improved feeling. Consols for the Account are at 96% %, and at 96% % for Money. The premium upon Exchequer Bills has advanced to 235. The meeting of the protectionists, held on Saturday, at the Clarendon Hotel, to enter into a solemn compact to oppose the Corn Bill in the House of 'Ands, is spoken of here only with ridicule. All the protection Peers were invited to attend, but under sixty were present. The odds, in betting circles in the City, have increased in favour of the measure passing the Peers with a majority, variously estimated at 20 to 25. India Stock has ruled at 265%; the Reduced Three per Cents. at 96% %; and East India Bonds, under 1,0001., at 295. premium. The meeting of the creditors of Mexico, now in progress at the London Tavern, is likely to be a stormy one. It is fully attended. In the Foreign Market there has not been any business of importance transacted this morning. Mexican Bonds have been quoted at 32 1 / 2 1 4, and the Deferred at 15 1 4. Spanish Stock has receded to 24 1 4, the Deferred to 15%, the Russian Metalliques are at 110 1 / 2 , and the Dutch Four per Cents. at 91 3 %. In the Railway Share and Scrip Market a very limited amount of business has been transacted to-day. BRITISH FUNDS, ONE CLOSING O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock .. 05% Three per Cent.

SPORTING INTELLIGENC E. TATTERSALL'S—YEsTERDAY. The subscribers assembled yesterday in force, and carried on business with great spirit until beyond the usual hour of closing. The principal feature of the betting was the retreat of Sting, who opened, and continued for sometime, nominally at 6 to 1, and at last fell back to 8 to 1, laid repeatedly, and his enemies quite ready to go on. This movement had the effect of raising Sir Tattan Sykes, Tom Tullock, Humdrum, and Fancy Boy, a point each on their opening prices; they were in steady demand in good quarters. The Peri colt and Poynton were in considerable favour, and 40 to 1 was taken to win nearly 20,0001. about Mr. E. R. Clark's the Conqueror (the Wizard of the North colt), late Mr. Osbaldeston's. The investments on the other horses quotel were small amounts. Closing averages : DERBY. 12 to 1 agst John Day's lot 5 to 1 agst Mr. W.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—it is stated that her Majesty will accompany Prince Albert on his proposed visit to Liverpool, to grace with her Royal presence the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the Slkilors' home. The 30th of Jaly is named for the arrival of her Majesty. Vidocq, the celebrated French thief-taker, died lately near Brussels, in a state of poverty. Accounts from Nice represent that part of the country as suffering cruelly from drought. THE CHOLERA.—The journals of Eastern Prussia state that this dreadful disease has maie its appearance at St. Peters burgh. Mr. Bateson paired off against the third reading of the Corn Bill with Mr. Kirk, M.P., haying beeu provonted b7 P 944194 (rQaz attlading UN 0.1'01914 ra °ruin t LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 19, 1846. The LORD CILLNCELLOR took his seat upon the Woolsack at Five o'clock. M ., :sengers from the Commons brought up the Corn Bill, which, after a short but smart discussion, in the course of which the Duke of RICHMOND vehemently protested against the measure, and indulged in some personalities against Sir R. PEEL, for which he was remonstrated with by Lord BROUGHAM and several other Noble Lords, was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday next. The LORD CHANCELLOR then moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill. After a long debate their Lordships divided, when the Bill was lost by a majority of one. Their Lordships then adjourned, at a Quarter-past Twelve, The SPEAKER took the chair at Four o'clock. The private business having been disposed of, and a short discussion having ensued with respect to a supposed breach of privilege, brought before the House by Mr. G. BANK S, On the motion of Sir R PEEL that the report on the Customs Duties Bill be read a second time, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK, at some very considerable length, stated his objections to the measure. He thought the result of it would be to give all the benefit to the foreigner and none to this country, and he concluded by moving that the report be read a second time that day three months. Mr. LAWSON seconded the motion. The House was then addressed by Mr. Alderman Hum phery, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. G. Bankes, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Borthwick, Mr. Plumptre, Dr. Bowring, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Henley, and Mr. Hudson, after which Lord George Bentinck withdrew his amendment, the report was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to morrow (this day). The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. The House of Lords on Friday night went into Committee on the Religious Opinions Relief Bill, and it was understood that the Bill had passed through the Committee, with the exception of certain clauses, which were reserved for future consideration. The only interruption to the unanimity of the debate was introduced by the Bishop of EXATER, who, in a long speech replete with arguments of a kind that happily now command little weight in the country, proposed that the House should resolve itself into Committee on that day three months. The Right Rev. Prelate, although he stated that he knew no more of the law of the land than every educated gentleman was bound to know, and that he should not be ashamed if he erred on the subject, yet ventured to set up his opinion in opposition to that of the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, and of the other law Lords who had favoured the House with their opinions on the very ques tions which the Right Rev. Prelate had himself, on a firmer occasion, wished to have submitted to the judges. It was a sound and excellent advice long since given to an indifferent lawyer when promoted to a seat on the judicial bench, that when giving judgment he should merely state the conclusion he had arrived at without venturing to explain the reasons which led to that conclu sion, because, although he might very probably be right in the decision, the chances were a hundred to one that he would be wrong in the reasons which led thereto. Happy had it been for the Bishop had he adopted this pru dent advice, for he would have been spared the humiliating discovery that he was wholly misinformed in the principal of the two reasons on which he grounded his opinion, and on which he had expatiated so forcibly, so eloquently, to the House. It appeared that in the year 1790, no less than 55 years ago, an Act was passed repealing the former regulations, and declaring that no one should thereafter be bound to take the oath of supremacy on its being tendered to him. The other reason, founded on the statute of ELIZABETH, was an swered by the LORD CHANCELLOR with equal force, who eloquently contended that it was impossible that any Roman Catholic, moderately and temperately maintaining the su premacy of the see of Rome in matters spiritual, can be con sidered as offending against the constitution of this country, or against what ought to be the law of this country, and surely this is both law and justice. A vast and important body of our fellow-subjects profess the tenets of the Roman Catholic religion, and they must believe in and assert that spiritual supremacy if they are sincere in that profession, and who can doubt it who knows how patiently their ancestors clung to it, with truth and fidelity, for ages, when they were thereby subjected to shame and ignominy, were placed under a civil ban, and not merely excluded from the enjoyment of places of trust and emolument, bat also subjected to all the heart less and oppressive restrictions of a monstrous and intolerable penal code? Happily those ages of bigotry and intolerance have passed away. A new light has flashed upon our legis lators, on the public aklarge. Our Roman Catholic brethren are now looked upon id all respects as our equals; their re ligion is tolerated, their opinions are respected, and practi cally there has been no attempt for many years to act up to the obsolete and universally condemned laws which still were permitted to encumber and remain a blot on our statute book. Why should, then, the assertion of one of the fundamental doctrines of their religion, which must be as im plicitly subscribed to by them as any of the Thirty-nine Ar ticles by tha Right Rev. Prelate himself, be still considered as an offence, " that the simple punishment of a misdemea nour should he retained," or that there should be any danger in the assertion thereof to this our Protestant constitution? We should scarcely expect to hear such opinions promul gated in any atmosphere save that of Exeter Hall. We have ever felt that the true and enlightened policy is to give the most perfect freedom of opinion, civil and religious, to every man ; none should be fet tered or restrained, or compelled to descend to hypocrisy to conceal the real sentiments of his heart, if he should be associated with others to whom his opinions might in any respect be repugnant. He should not unnecessarily offend the prejudices or wound the feelings of his companions; claiming for himself the most perfect and entire freedom; he should accord to others that which he desired to himself; in all things he should act up to the sublime direction of the Founder of our Common Religion, the Saviour of Mankind, "by doing unto others as he would they should do unto him." If this great truth were felt in its full force we would not have had penal laws or civil disabilities affecting any of our brethren. Every man would be permitted to worship his CREATOR in the manner and form which, in his conscience, he believed to be right, to be the most proper, and a great and fertile source of civil dissension and disagreement would be totally removed. We feel proud, as Britons, of the fact, that in a few short weeks our Legislature will have affirmed tthoisoreaotunpt as ir i r pl a e,laannd of univers a l bedthatweal t l o l t e h r e a n neeand able freedom o ee p d o o in m t of opinion. Our nation has ever taken it s lac of civilisation. It will not b e the least valu a ble bl e in the van tri umphs to point to the exa m pl e w hi ch she is ofaffh now orerd.lng to the world, to other kingdoms, by the abolition of all c ivil and religious distinctions. Not the least gratifying part of the debate was the pure spirit of Christianity, of philanthropy, which characterised the able and eloquent speech of the Lord Bishop of ST. DAVID'S. In that speech the principles of true liberality, of enlightened statesmanship, will be found to exist in the highest degree. His Lordship put the Bill in its true light, " that it was not a greater relief to thous who had lab oure d under the disabilities than it was to the members of the Church of England—to one class it was a relief from injus tice, from vexation, and disgrace; to the other it was a relief from a heavy load of obloquy, discredit, and shame." These are sentiments well worthy of falling from the lips of a Christian minister, of a dignitary of the Church in which his Lordship holds so high a station. He truly stated that the great mass of these laws was unjust and iniquitous, a cruel and wanton violation of the liberty of the subject and of the rights of conscience, " that nothing could justify or warrant such a perversion of the powers of legislation." He asked, "wherein did the force of a bull consist? Not in the seal — not in the string—not in the document itself—not in the mind or intention of the PorE—but in the senti ments of the people to whom it was addressed. He en tertained no apprehension so long as the Roman Catholic people of this country preserved their allegiance, and they had done so throughout the hardest trials—as long as they continued in the course which for ages they had pursued, he should have no fear, even though Papal bulls were smug gled into this country, even though one of them might be posted on the walls of Lambeth Palace, or those of Bucking ham House—he still would say there was no more danger than if they had remained in Rome and rotted in the Vatican. The force and virtue of these documents would rest not with the power that issued them, but with those to whom they were addressed; and it might be safely left to the intelligence and loyalty of the RomanCatholie population alone to deal with them. Instead of showing suspicion and distrust of these our fellow-subjects, we should do away with all grounds for distrust and suspicion. He did not believe that that class would ever be anfaithful to us; but it would conduce to the honor and dignity of this country to take care Out their , honourable feelings should not be so sported with and trampled on as they had been." We tender our hearty thanks to the Right Rev. Prelate for this noble speech, and we recommend it to the hearty and attentive consideration of his episcopal brethren. So long as the occupants of the bench of Bishops are actuated by such feelings they must command the esteem, the respect, the love of the people of all religious denominations, and we do hope and trust that the brilliant example thus set to them by one of themselves will not be thrown away; but will sink deeply into their minds, and find many and strenuous supporters in the body. The great measure of commercial reform, now finally esta blished, for though it may be delayed it cannot be undone, is destined to produce a vast revolution in other states be sides the United liingdom. France and Germany and Switzerland have been watching the long and ardent con test in the Commons' House of Parliament with•an interest and anxiety greater even than those which have affected either Pratectiohists or Free-traders, not only on account of their social and commercial relations, but, as regards two of these countries at least, on account of the influence which the change may have on the power and wealth of England. The danger, however, to their trade and manufactures which may be anticipated from such a vast scheme forms the first and prominent subject for their consideration, and taking all circumstances into account, never on a previous occasion did any event occur in this country so pregnant with results of the most vital importance to their commercial prosperity. The great drawback on the complete success of British ma nufacturing interests was the high price of provisions in this corn-taxed country, compared with that in states where pro visions of every kind were cheaper, and where the operatives of course could produce manufaeSures, taking.,all other cir cumstances to be equal, at wages little more than one-half of those paid by British manufacturers. By throwing open the corn-trade, together with the admission of cattle entirely free of duty, and nearly all the necessaries of life used in those countries at an extremely moderate, almost a nominal rate, prices will become equalised to a degree hitherto un known. Whether or not it falls materially here, corn in other countries will at once rise in price, the cost of living will be proportionally increased, and the rate of wages will either rise in like manner, or the master-manufacturers must yield to rivals who, in almost every other respect, had the advantage over them. The British manufacturers had an enormous superiority, and will still possess it, in the abun dance of coal and iron, in the excellence of their machinery, in the mode of carriage, whether by canal or railway, and in the great amount of capital at their command ; yet, with all these in their favour, the Germans and the Swiss, owing to the cheapness of provisions, were able to undersell English dealers in several markets. The new tariff has at one blow deprived foreigners of almost the only advantage they had. But, in addition to that, it will throw open to us markets which were closed or approached with little profit, while the obnoxious and ruinous impost on the necessaries of life re mained unaltered. Merchants or speculators who bring us corn, and cattle, and beef, and bacon, and potatoes, besides many other articles, all free of duty, will take something back in return, either the produce of our colonies, or the manufactures of the country, now relieved from the incubus of excessive and prohibitive duties. The ships of all nations will direct their course to this country as to a free port, while the employment of ' British vessels will be increased in proportion to the new markets thrown open. We look not, therefore, merely to the increase of our manufactures but to the increase of our ship ping —of that mercantile navy which keeps up at present such an advantageous intercourse between our countless dis tant settlements and the mother country, and which forms the only certain bulwark of our security and national inde pendence. Can France, and Prussia, and the whole Zolve rein, look on with apathy, and follow in the same beaten and ruinous track, while England has opened up a new way for herself, both for the increase of trade and of national power? These changes cannot take place without giving additional impulse to population. We have only to look back for forty years to see what vast power trade has conferred on this country: even hampered and discouraged as it has been, the population has nearly doubled. In 1801 the popu lation of Great Britain was in round numbers only 11,000,000; in 1841, it had risen to 19,000,000—thereby in creasing even in a still greater proportion, not only the vast revenue derived from Excise and Customs, but the assessed taxes, the property-tax, and we may say, the taxes under every department. Comparing the past with the present, we can hardly wonder that England, with her small popula tion, and as a consequence her small revenue, could not put down her revolted American colonies. How the strength of both has increased since, and from what causes, it is needless to inquire. The measures of Sir ROBERT PEEL are mainly calculated to give additional effect to that national enter prise and those habits of profitable) industry which have since raised Great Britain to her present eminence, and which, when allowed to act with freedom, must enable her to main tain still more firmly, her high rank among nations. In the question of Solitary Confinement is involved infi- nitely more than the mere improvement of individuals, for with its discontinuance or its preservation there will follow the discontinuance or the preservation of a system in which our happiness and our morality as a nation are to a consider able extent implicated. On these accounts it becomes a matter of extreme importance to observe the consequences which result from the operation of this punishment, for the purpose of testing its efficacy or its ill-success. For this purpose it becomes necessary to submit culprits to a series of experiments, and to note down with the most scrupulous nicety the mental or the bodily phenomena resulting from their influence. Whether by separate incarceration a criminal becomes more dogged and sullen in his adherence to vice, or whether by the salutary mediation of undisturbed reveries, the mind becomes softened down to a detesta tion of guiltiness and a yearning for sobriety, we must acknowledge that in the abstract the fact of experimentalising upon the most subtle elements of the human mind, and of submitting the most powerful emotions of the heart to so severe an ordeal, a very fearful responsi bility indeed devolves upon the experimentalist--the experi mentalist in this instance being the Government. Still prospects were so peculiarly propitious under existing cir cumstances, and it was evident that an almost incal culable amount of good would flow from the establish ment of such a system, on its being proved to be salu tary, or at least in every case innocuous, that a trial—criti cal as that trial might prove—became almost incumbent upon the Legislature. Supposing it were proved that, as a reforma tory scheme, separate imprisonment turned out to be gene rally successful, and never injurious, a comparatively lenient ' . punishment might then be administered to certain classes of criminals ; those criminals would be preserved from the malific influences of association with de_ prayed companions ; and from veritable pests to society they - might, after a given period, be emancipated, orderly citi zens. Thus "from the nettle danger might be plucked the flower safety," and the demoralising effects of a community in crime be altogether evaded. Upon the settlement of this question, therefore, hung the continued wretchedness of thousands, or the general reformation of the populace. Hence it was, we conceive, most assuredly worthy of investigation, of trial, of analysis. Too much of happiness and of misery de pended upon its own evidences when in operation to admit of any dilatoriness or indolence in its regard. The scheme was advanced ; beneficial consequences from its acceptance were very generally and very lavishly promised ; the people looked to the legislators, not certainly for its immediate adoption, but assuredly for some demonstration of its mode of working; and hence any withdrawal from the inquiry on the part of Government would have been regarded with universal dissatisfaction. A great boon was prophecied; an attempt, however slight, for its ac quisition was not unnaturally expected. From the combi nation of all these incitements emerged several novel houses of incarceration : the Government set the proposed system in operation, and the public most rigidly scrutinised the re sult. Some considerable time has now elapsed since this effort was commenced; the plan has continued in uninterrupted play up to the present moment ; and it is allowable, there fore, to estimate the merits of the system, and to collate such coincidences from the experience thus acquired as would conduct us to some accurate conclusion upon the subject. Impressed with this conviction, Sir PETER LAUSIE, one of the most active Aldermen of the City of London, has col lected together a large mass of information as to the manner in which solitary confinement has affected the prisoners submitted to its agency, and the deductions which hie has d rawn f rom a comparison of these facts are embodied in a pamphlet recently issued by the worthy Knight, unde r of " no m urder the somewhat whimsical b a t ex t reme l y s i gn ifi can t t i t l e or the Effects of Sep a rate COl fiaement on the Bodi ly and Mental Condition of P ' ."

It would appear that, not withs tanding aost one of experi mentssupereroga- at Millbank and at Penton the ducted with singular tenderness, the e le have been con ducted system have, according to Sir PETESMbaelign effects of markable intensity, and of su c h an unlooked- e fo n r of such re as infinitely to preponderate over its beneficial conpsereqvualence,es In this manner the separate imprisonment a t the Millbank. Penitentiary in 1838, appears to have driven four into a state of insanity ; in 1839, five ; in 1840,five more; while between the Ist of January and the 30th of September, 1841, nine priso net s were transferred to Bethlehem as lunatics, while 10 male and one female of unsound mind were found by the house in spectors. Si m ilar announcements are made by Alderm an LAURIE throughout his pamphlet, and that accompani e d with such circumstantiality as to enforce the deductions he draws from their comparison. As this publication under takes to demonstrate that solitary confinement is, "lst,highly injurious to the minds of prisoners; 2d, dangerous to their bodily health; 3d, demoralising in its effects; 4th, that it bas failed in America, from whence it was derived; and, sth, that it is burdensome to the country from its great cost," it can not be denied but that it demands a most extensive perusal and a most serious investigation.

During last week the arrivals of Wheat of home produce for our market were on a very moderate scale, viz., about 5,500 quarters, while those of most other articles of English grain were by no means large. From Ireland and Scotland the receipts were rather scanty, bat from aboad we received upwards of 11,000 quarters of Wheat and 21,000 barrels of Flour. Fresh up, the supply of English Wheat was rather limited; still, however, the actual quantity on show was more than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, who were extremely cautious in their operations. We call, there fore, the English Wheat trade very dull, at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter, and at which a very small quantity was (2.l2posed of. From most parts our accounts received to-day relatia "e to the growing crops are tolerably favourable. The quantity of free Foreign Wheat on show was by no means large, n'ever theless the sale for it was unusually dull ; and when sales were pressed, a fall of from Is to 2s per quarter was sub mitted to by the holders. Wheat under lock was a meze drug, and certificates—which have been lately held as high as 15s—were offered to day at 9s per quarter; but so little was doing that the rates were next to nominal. Ike quantity lately in hand has been a :mall. We had only a mod erate s h ow o f B ar l ey , b o th E ng li s h an d foreign. Selected parcels may be considered quite as sear, but all other kinds were a mere drug at barely previous r ates. otwithstanding the arrivals of Malt have been small, the transactions were wholly of a retail nature, at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. Several parcels of Oats being leftover from last week, the show was moderately good. All kinds moved off heavily at, in some instances, an abatement of 6d per quarter. Very few Beans were on show. The sales proceeded slowly at late figures. In Peas scarcely anything was doing at last week's quo;ations. 'Phe Flour trade was dull, and the best town made was quoted. at 53s per 280 lbs. SMITEPIELD. Since this day se'nnight, the imports of foreign stock into London have amounted to 20 Oxen from Hamburgh ; S 4 Oxen, 41 Cows, and 16 Sheep, from Harlingen ; 41. Ox:en from Prussia; and 35 Cows, 136 Sheep, 4 Lambs, allot 3 Calves from Rotterdam, while, at Hull, nearly 200 b., lad of Beasts and Sheep have been received in good condition. We had on offer 37 Beasts from Prussia, together with 56 O'xt'•n and Cows, and 80 Sheep from Holland. The followino were the total imports in the two months, ending on tin' sth of March, 1845, and 1846: 1845 1846 Oxen Cows Calves — Sheep ..... ...... 770 Lambs Swine Fresh up to-day, woreceived a fair average time-of-year stip ply of Beasts from our own grazing districts, the quality of which was unusually prime; indeed, we scarcely ever recol lect to have witnessed so wonderfully fine a collection of Sc.,ts as was exhibited this morning. Notwithstanding ti .e unpropitious state of the weather, the Beef trade was on ti e whole steady, at last week's quotations, the highest figui .e for the best Scots being 4s per 81b. Still, however, a cleat - ance was with difficulty effected. From Norfolk, Suffolik, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,700 Scots, Homo 1- breds, and Shorthorns; from the northern districts, 35.0 Short-horns •, from the western and midland counties, 230 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other par is of England, 200 of various kinds ; and cram Scotland, 350 horned and polled Scots. The num bers of Sheep were again on the increase, and a -rely small portion of that description of stock was beneath un average. As a very limited number was in the wool, it must be observed that our quotations refer solely to those sho rn. Prime old Downs moved off at previous rates or from 4s to 4s 4d per Blbs. ; but the value of all other breeds suferedi a decline of 24 per 8113.5., and a clearance was not effected. Frosra the Isle of Wight 300 Sheep and Lambs were received per railway. In Lambs a very limited amount of business was passing, at a depression of 4d per 81b—th e prices ruling frot`i 5s to 6s per 81b. The Veal trade was dull, at barely late rater.
