The returns pre sented by Sir JAMES GRAHAM leave no doubt of the fact, for they show that, during three vears,-when priees of grain were low, there was a diminution of about one-fist hof the com mitments as compared with other years when the prices were high. The remarks of Lord WORSLEY, from whom we expected bet ter things, hardly deserve notice. Of what use is it, on a question of such vital importance to read long extracts from "Hansard?" Can anything be gained by proving that Sir ROBERT PEEL and . Sir JAMES GRAIIAM at one time entertained opinions different from those they new profess? The very same charges would apply to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to Lord LANs uossavE, to Lord 111ORPETH, and to almost every leading statesman. The man who does not change his mode of Action with his opinions is a hypocrite and a knave. The man who changes his policy in accordance with his opinions lisplays real honesty, and leaves no doubt of the fact in the oublic mind, when, in place of gaining personal advantages, he is actually a great loser by such conduct. Lord WORSLEY, to make good his point, sl:ould prove that Sir J.astEs 6r . RAIIAM'S estate will be rendered more valuable by the abo lition of toe corn-laws—that he and Sir ROBERT POEL de rived a great advantage from resigning office—and that the most tempting of all rewards is the abase of friends. Vitherto our attention has been principally directed to the et ceteras of the gi eat political struggles which are at the present moment illustrating this session of Parliament—our reflections have been successively restricted to 'the considera tion of one or other of the " postures" which tend altogether to make up the present commercial and legislative tableau: We have separately particularised the vaiii us paroxysms of recrimination, or sulkiness, or obsti nacy, or rancour, or stupendous dullness of compre hension, in which the delegates and the supporter, of the Central Protection Association have at different times and in different places indulged. We have commented, and that not without the assistance of a very considerable share of patience and of moral resignation, rpon the meetings convened in divers agricultural and manufacturing districts and the orations there uttered fur and against the remarkable and comprehensive measures proposed by the Chic; Thnister of the. Sovereign, sustained by the acqui escence of his colleagues, and animated by the cordial co-operation of the Opposition. We have at. one ,noment transcribed into our columns the bold, the dis passionate, the self-sustained and sell-reliant arguments ad vanced by the most enlightened statesmen of this generation— the Premier, Lord J. PUSsELI, Lord Muntimr, Mr. COBDEN, and the like : at another we have quoted as curiosities (both of _ _ aterature and logic) the discursive fribhles and unconscionable platitudes with which such chivalrous but uncalculating per ionages as his Grace of RICHMOND, or Mr. FEHRAND, have frittered away their own time and that of their supporters. i3y proceeding in this graduated but requisite, manner, we nave been compelled, in the average, to descend to a minute and detailed examination of occurrences, and have found ourselves enabled only in casual and abrupt intervals to take a wider survey of the grand question at issue. In a moral iense, the multitude have during several momhs been struggling forward in one unanimous and irresistible body towards the golden gates of free trade, which have swung open before them " With the sound Of symphonies and dulcet tones." At this particular stage of affairs, however—while the formality of a debate is enabling each individual in the ',ewer House to express either his personal dis sent or approbation of the schemes propounded by Sir ROBERT, we would for an instant step aside from the impetu osity of the current, and take one general though brief survey of political men and political measures as they are now situated. Out of doors we perceive a confusion, or rather at. ,ainalga :nation, of parties--Whigs and Conservatives, Tories and Ra- I icals, Libera Is and Chartists, High Churchmen and Dissenters , to longer clashing in thou ;lit, in purpose, or in action, as ;hey have done from a period actually immemorial; but dinging the last shreds of their dissensience to the winds, and tovetailing their various theories into one great, practical and consistent object. To employ a figure of speech, the founda eion-stones of the British Constitution—the people—are no longer broken up and scattered about in disorder, without either strength or symmetry—that groundwork is (so to speak) at the present motnent tessellated—Termed out of variously coloured and heterogeneous parts, et constituting, in spite of this apparent obstacle, one, corn pet, sblid, and symmetrical whole. We find factions l i lullitied, and, as far as the majority are concerned, political acerbity abolished ; we perceive those persons com bine their efforts in all kindliness and brotherly sympathy who were animated but very recently towards each other with sentiments only of the bittere.t malevolence. We see peace where there was formerly animosity— impefulnea where there was only pertinacity of hatred. Within the doors of Parliament the spectacle is no less re markable in every imaginable respect—our allusion being msinly directed to the House of Representatives. Never, in the records of that august assembly, did a more strange complication of opinion exist. So conspicuous is this fact, that there is no one but what must acknowledge the present distinction of the Ministerial benches and the Opposition benches as a farce of uncommon richness in humour. The Prime Minister's position is tn: , st enviable at this instant, as far as full and permanent popularity are concerned ; the responsibility of his office has, for once, been exceeded by the amount of benefit which that office em,bles him to effect. He achieves the greatest and the noblest deed a statesman can ever only explaining by confe s sing his former errors a b n y d nott ss o i the causes which had conducted him to this discovery, but endea; ouring by every faculty • of his intellect, and by every tittl e o f hi s selt•command, to rep air the evils which he had formerly be en i ns t rumenta l in sus tainiiti. In addition to this phenomenon of legislation, we obseive in that Chamber of Senators the Anti-Minis terialits cheering eal the Ministry with their very hearts in their voices, and the anti-Oppositionisis themselves becoming virtually the members of Opposition. Nor is there an absence of ana'ogy in the present efforts of the two divisions of Parliament : the Commons are aiming at an eradication of the pernicious cause, exclusive protec tion—the Lords are making efforts to remove the effect, tke pre ' sent destitution in Ireland : the exertions in the Upper House are but applications for the existing exigencies of the more gigantic and prospective measures now agitated in the lower douse. While these vast reforms are being perfected, we cannot but regard with some degree of commiseration that blind and incorrigible obstinacy in the protectionists which incites them to raise a clamour of the most impotent an tagonism against the popular will—conduct only equivalent to the selection of a fool's cap and bells to au eternal crown of laurels. Wu have received Madrid papers of the 3J, but they con- taro no news. The Three per Cents. closed at 33 for cash, and 33% ..t 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 23% at 60 days. The latest intelligence from Algiers in the Paris papers is of a gloomy character. ABD-EL-KADER, taking advantage of the calamity which betel General LEVASSEUR'6 division, had suddenly made his appearance in the pi ovince of Con stamina, at the head of two thousand horsemen at bust, and had committed razzias on all the tribes in that quarter who had submitted to the French. A letter front Setif; dated the 29th of January, which appears in the Alyerie, leaves no doubt of the fact, and of the consternation which it had caused in that quarter. " Ann r.t.• KADER," says the writer, " has just come upon us like a thunderbolt. In his march from Nigher to Fotun-Onad-el-Djenan, he mercilessly despoiled every tribe that had not previously sent him tokens of submission. The Ouled-Messeleni, a tribe cf the sub diviiion of the Setif, have been attacked. The Colonel of the IVO has just set out with 1,500 men, to proceed to the Medjana. All the disposable forces cf the subdivision, French and native, were got together to form this column. —P.S. It is affirmed that KADER is at the bead of two thousand horsemen at least, iim4 that he has with them effected a considerable razzia on the Ouled-Sidi,Alssa-Mare bouts, who exercise the relicious sovereignty over the izveater part of the old beylick 'of Titteri." The unfavourable accounts from all points of Algeria come so repeatedly upon, on.t another, and the policy adopted by Marshal BUGEAUD IS so totally useless for meeting the dangers which threaten them on every kzwd, that the Government will probably be compelled to recal hint, ettd pursue an entirely different course. The Constitutionuel as . , a " the news lately received fray. Constantine has determined the depirtnre of the Duke D'Aum4i,g for Africa.

WESTMINSTER ELEcriox.—Captain Rons being compelled to vacate his seat for Westminster on his being appointed a Lord of the Admiralty, presents himself again to the electors (4 this independent borough, and we confidently hope that no opposition will be made to his return. Though belonging to the Conservative party, he has shown him self a liberal and active Member; in several of his speeches during this Parliament he has exhibited straight forward conduct, and seemed generally to take part with the poor and the oppressed, though at the tisk sometimes of offending the Government, It ought to be remembered also 'list he was among the very first of the Conservatives to de nounce the corn-laws, and call upon Sir Robert Peel to make provision against the sufferings that might be caused by a failure of the crops. He cordially supports the liberal mea sures introduced by the Minister, and a better representa tive at present, therefore, could not be desired.

The half-yearly meeting of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company, was held yesterday at the offices of the Company, 61, Moorgate•street, W. C.,llett, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The attendance of the shareholders was nume rous, and a long and interesting report was read to the meet • ing, detailing the plan proposed by the Company's engineer for making the communication peross the Menai Straits. Tiiis he proposed to effect by the means of a large iron tube, equal in diameter to an ordinary tunnel, and supported by the means of roads .and chains, in the way of a sus pension bridge, but with this difference, that whilst in the case cf suspension bridges there are usually only two supports, Mr. Stephenson here proposes to erEct four towers is the water, to which the chains and roads are to be tied, so that the great, vibratory effect of the passage of heavy trains may he neutralised or rendered as little injurious and weanngas possible.. The objection offered to such . a plan as this by the failure of the bridge at Stockton, is obviated by the saving of that oscillation and opposition of forces, to which that bridge was subjected in consequence of the supports being continually affected by the draught of the trains. 'fhe report was received with much applause, and the plan was adopted. Through an omission the accounts were not read to the meeting, but it was stated thet the printed reports would be distributed shortly after the meeting. . . The CHAIRMAN then said that he was happy to congratu late the Company on the forward state of the works, and the probability of great future success. According to the best calculation that could be made, he believed that the works would be completed in the course of the summer of 1848, but whether the line would be opened in portions before that time, or altogether, the directors had not yet decided. Another source of congratulation was derived from the cir cumstance that the Company had been able to make a con nexion with the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railways, through which they were sure to obtain a greater traffic than they had anticipated. As they were not in a condition to raise carital from extraneous sources, the directors had resolved upon making a call of 21.105. per share in April flex', and another of 5/. per share in the course of the following July. In reply to an inquiry of Mr. Sergeant Stork, the CHAIR• MAN said, that t hough he perfectly agreed in the opinion ex pressed by the Learned Proprietor, that the construction of a harbour of refuge was a national object, and ought to be paid for by the Goveinment, yet as there was no compulsion that could oblige them to enter upon such a work, and it might, therefore, not be done for the next twenty years, he thought it was only prudent, on t!..e part of the Company, to consider how far the formation of such a harbour would be likely to promote their own interests. That it would do so there could be no question, and the directory, therefore, deemed it advisable to share the cost with the Government, and they had accordingly devoted the sum of 200,0001. to that object, payable in the course of three years. The acceptance of the report was then put, and it was una nimously adopted. The CHAIRMAN then announced that, according to the rules of the Company, Mr. Prebble, the auditor, had retired, but offered himself for re-election. That gentleman's retention of office was unanimously con firmed, thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting was dissolved. MANCITESTERandSOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. A meeting of the delegates from the principal towns along the line through which it is proposed that this railway should pass, was held at the King's Arms Hotel, Palace-yard, at twelve o'clock yesterday, to take into consideration the pro priety of waiting on Lord Dalhousie, the President of the Board of Trade, to represent to his Lordship the value of the proposed railway, not only to the several localities repre sented, but to the nation generally—forming, as it would, if carried out, a direct communication between the northern and southern coasts of the kingdom; and also to urge upon the several Members of Parliament connected with the towns on the line the importance of taking active steps to ensure the success cf the project in question. Amongst the gentlemen present were—Joseph Lobb, Esq., mayor of Southampton ; Captain Griffiths, late mayor of ditto; Moses Pipper, Esq., mayor of Romsey ; Frederick Taylor, Esq, late mayor; Whether, Esq., bailiff of Stock bridge; Powell, Esq., steward of the lord of the manor; Thomas Wanhill, Esq., mayor of Poole; Captain Parrett, of Poole ; William Brownjohn, mayor of Salisbury ; Joseph Cobb, Esq., town-councillor of Salisbury; J. L. Alford, Esq., ditto; Thomas E. Mortimer, Esq., alderman ofAndover ; John Poore, Esq., ditto; John Taylor, Esq., high-bailiff of Crick lade; Thomas Strong, Esq, of ditto ; Thomas Byrch. Esq., high-bailiff of Cirencester; William Miller, Esq. of ditto; T. Strung, Esq., of ditto; George Rowe, Esq., high -bailiff of Cheltenham ; Captain Lloyd. of ditto. We could not catch .he names of the deputation for Marlborough. The meeting seemed to be a spontane.nts act on the part of the inhabitants of the towns on the line, to insure, as far as in them lay, the success of a measure which they deemed of such importance to the districts with which they are con nected. Joseph Lobb, Esq , the Mayor of Southampton, was called to the chair. Captain Parratt was requested to act as secretary. The CHAIRMAN briefly stated the object for which the gentlemen present had assembled, and suggested that a de putation should be at once appointed to wait on Mr. Hope, the Secretary to the Board of Trade, to ascertain when it would be convenient for the Noble President of that Board to receive the deputation. The suggestion of the Chairman was imn3ediatelyacted on, and a deputation proceeded to the Board of Trade, and re turned in about half an hour, when The CHAIRMAN announced that the depuation had waited on Mr. Cripps, the Member for Cirencester, in the House of Commons, and he had very kindly joined them in their visit to the Board of Trade; where, upon communicating with Lord Dalhousie's private secretary, they learned that, owing to the appointment of the recent Select Committee on rail ways, the Board, of Trade had now no connexion with rail way projects; and such being the case, the Noble Pre 3ident of the Board of Trade had come to a determination riot to receive any deputation, however constituted, in reference to railways. The deputation having ascertained this fact, retired. It was now for the gentlemen present to take such steps as might seem to them proper to forward the project now under consideration. Representing as they did so large a constituency, he was sure that their repre sentations would receive due weight in any quarter to which they might be addres=cd. The Chairman then alluded to the value of the proposed line, and showed that, in the event of the l'remier's plan re , pecting the alteration in the customs and corn duties coming into operation, the utility and im portance of the Manchester and Southampton Railway would be beyond question. Upon the motion of Mr. Ar..FonD, it was resolved that a memorial, embodying the views of the deputation respecting the value of the railway in question, should be transmitted to the Board of Trade and to the several Members con nected with counties and towns through which the line would pass. Thanks were then given to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. The usual half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this Company was held yesterday, at the. London Timm, George Hudson, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The attendance was exceed ingly numerous, the large room of the tavern being crowded with proprietors. The usual formalities having been gone through, Mr. RoNaY, the secretary, read the report of the directors. This docuMent set out with stating that a considerable in crease had taken place in the traffic for the past half-year, arising principally from the opening of the line to Cambridge, Ely, and Brandon, and that this increase, coupled with the facts that the tratic was but partially developed, and that a great increase might be expected when the several junction lines were completed, gave promise of the fulfilment of the hopes expressed as to the future prospects of the Com pany. The dividend proposed by the directors was 9s. on each share of 141. 16s. in the consolidated stock of the Company. The next paragraph stated that, " By the terms of the resolutions creating the extension stock, No. 1, the interest on that stock is payable out of capital until the entire of the lines to be constructed with that stock shall have been finished. At present the line between Ely and Peterborough is incomplete and probably will not be ready to be opened before July next ; the di rectors, however, during the current half-year, intend to charge the traffic with the interest on so much of that ex• tension stock as has b ien applied to the construction of the lines to Cambridge, Ely, and Brandon, because they will be in receiptof a full half-year's traffic from those extensions, in an improved and more productive state than hitherto. None of the interest on extension stock, No. 1, has been charged to traffic during the last half-year, as the above ex tensions were not opened until the month of August, and because the Company, from a great deficiency of carrying stock, and the inc,omph to state of the lines, and other causes, have not been in a position to draw the income from them, es pecially in goods traffic, which they aro capable of producing.' It was stated that satisfactory arrangements had been made with the Northern and Eastern Company, which arrange ments had been agree - 1 to at a meeting of the proprietors, and that similar resolutions would be submitted for the ap proval of the present meeting, Application had been made to Parliament for Bils for their several extensions and branches, in agreement with resolutions come to at former meetings; and resolutions would be submitted sanctioning the steps which the directors had taken in this respect. It was further stated that Vie directors had under c -nsideration, In the event of the Harwich Extension branch being sanc tioned by Parliament this year, to establish a line of steam ships between that port and Northern and Central Europe, which it was alleged would be a source of considerable re venue, the steam. boat Company to be orgrnised in con nexion with the railway, In conclusion, it was stated that satisfactory arrangements were being made with the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Company, the North and IVoolwich Railway Company, and the North Gravesend Railway Company, which would tend greatly to the ad vantage of the Eastern Counties Company, and increase the goods traffic on the Cambridge and Colchester lines. The statement of accounts appended to the report, showed the receipts of the half-year to be 173,10§/. Os, Id., which, after meeting all expenses, interest of loans and interest to the Northern and Eastern Counties Company, left an avail able sum for the dividend of 64,4671. 12s. 4d. The CHAIRMAN then rose to tngve the adoption of the report, and In so doing said, that it wonld be necessary for him to enter somewhat into explanation, as otherwise the report just read would have required to hare been much longer if embodying all that it was necessary to detail. It was his desire fairly aod henestly to give them a clear view of the present position of the Company and its future pro spects.—(Cheers.) In declaring a dividend of 9s. per share, the directors felt they were not declaring one Oast was to be considered by the sliarelieldera is fbunded on the anticipa tions of what the future traffic might bring, but as act ua ll y arising Mit of the past half-year; and in doing so, the point to which the directors WOlll4 pgrtiCulitily call their attention was the Mr prctspec, before tt te m when the lines in connexion with theirs were completed and open to the public. There were two of these lines which he was satisfied would be of great advantage to their interests. He referred to the lines proposed between Peterberogh and Ely and between Ipswich and Colchester. 'These, in' additi on to, the as ern would be the imeana of au meeting their fraffic in a very conaiderable degree.— (bear, hear,) The art:anon- le l viitmittod tct them at the l a st meeting for an amaigamat on with the Northern and Eastern bad, with some very little alterations, been agreed to by the shareholder; of that Company.

Though as yet they had not obtained locomotive power to work the line with satisfaction to themselves and to the public, still .that was a difficulty they were gradually overcoming And he was not over sanguine in saying that, before their next meeting, if their two extension lines were opened, they would show a receipt of 10,0001. weekly, which, after making payments of guaranteed interest, would show a reserved annual sum fer division and expenses of 450,000/. He was satisfied he was giving a statement that would be borne out by the result , . It had been said that. theirs was a bankrupt concern, but to that lie would answer, that he had given facts and figure=, which, as far as men of experience and judgment. were to be relied on, might be trusted, and they showed a result of 7 per cent. on the consolidated stock, as also on the stock of the Northern and Eastern Company. He was satisfied that, ere long, with the extensions, the undertaking would be second to none in the kingdom. A company in such a po-ition, and with such prospects, had no right to be looked on otherwise than as a solvent and legitimate undertaking.—(Hear.) He could not say what the Legislature would do relating to the London and York line, though he had the strongest confidence in the success of their own measure, if the Legislature was, as it pro posed to be, guided by the principle of supplying the greatest extent of country at the least amount of expense.—(Hear, bear ) That. measure would be of great service to them, as it would give them the chance of constructing another trunk line to York, which he was persuaded could Le constructed at one-half less than the London and York scheme.—(Hear, hear.) And if t hey were successful, they wou ld h ave t h e satis rtion of ha v i ng held out the olive-branch of peace to the London and York, which had been refused. The Hon. Gen itl eman, after r e f err i ng f urt h er to this topic, and expressing a lope that even in P ar li ament a reconciliation might be effected, went on to point out the great advantages of a line of packets from Harwich to the Continent, in con nexion with their scheme. No resolution, however, he said, would be submitted on the subject at the present meeting, but the matter would be taken up ty the directors, and matured before being brought forward in that shape. In conclusion, they hoped to make a considerable reduction iu the expenses of the Company, or at least with the increase of traffic-to take care that there should be no increase of expenditure. The Hon. Gentleman, after refer ring to the services of the directors, especially those of Mr. Waddington, in high terms, sat down amidst loud cheers by moving the adoption of the report. In answer to certain questions from Mr. WISIIAW, The CHAIRMAN said that the directors might congratulate themselves on the freedom from all accidents which had dis tinguished the Eastern Counties line.. From the hour that they had accepted office there had not been a single life lost. With respect to the expenditure, he must confess that that appeared to him extraordinarily large, but they were doing their best to reduce it, arid he would venture to promise that with an increased traffic the expenses would not exceed, if they equalled, the present amount.—(Hear, hear.) With evect to the iraegutanty or trains on the line, he had since he had been elected a director taken means to ascertain the exact time taken by each train, with the view of ascertaining some better system than had before existed; but they had, in consequence of defective locomotive power, to encounter many difficulties. They, however, expected to be able in a short .time to.bring about improvements in this particular. After some observations from Mr. SCOTT, recommendatory of the efforts made by the directors, Mr. LOVE said that he found no sum in the treasurer's report placed to the account of depreciation. He wished to know why this omission occurred in the statement ? The CHAIRMAN said that he was no advocate for a depre ciation fund. If they wanted new engines, he thought the better way was to pay for them at once, and then place the amount expended to the general fund. The report was then carried unanimously, as were several formal motions. After thanks had been voted to the directors and the Chairman, the meeting broke up. TAFF VALE RAILWAY. BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY, HALF-PAST ONE.—The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors was held at the White Lion, Broad-street, Bristol, yesterday. In the absence of the Chairman, S'r J. Guest, Bart., the De putv -Chairman, Walter Coffin, Esq., presided. The notice convening the meeting having been read, and the seal of the Company affixed to the register of proprietors. The SECRETARY then read the report, which showed an iecrease in the receipts, as compared with the corre sponding half of last year, of 7,0581. 7s. 10d. The CHAIRMAN, as usual, moved the adoption of the report, which was so very satisractory, that the share holders adopted it unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent., be declared upon each of 126/. shares, being 31. 3s. per share for the half year, to be paid on the sth of March.—Carried unanimously. This was the whole of the business which the direc tors had to bring before the proprietors. Mr. I'RIDEAUX (of Bristol) held in his band the Railway record, which contained an article reflecting on the management of the affairs of the Company by the directors. He was desirous that the Secretary should be allowed to read the article. The CHAIRMAN should — ; very sorry if the meeting attached that consequence to the calumnious reports contained in railway papers, which the reading of' the article in question on that occasion would give to it. The directors of that Company had been subjected to the grossest abuse from papers of the description al luded to, and he hoped the meeting would agree with him, th..p.t the best course to ba adopted would be to tr, at the matter with silent contempt.—(Hear, hear.) The directors were the best judges of their own affairs. as to what servants they should discharge and what take on, and if the shareholders had not confidence in the directors, let them appoint others, in whom they could have confidence.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. PRIDEAUX wished it to be understood that he did not cast the slightest reflection upon the di rectors. He had every confidence in them, but he thought it due to them that they should have an oppor tunity of refuting the statements in the Rreord. The CHAIRMAN was much obliged to Mr. Prideaux, but the directors had no objection to let the matter stand where it was. Directors of railway companies were subject to these kind of anonym o u s a tt ac k s , w h en t h e condlictors of such papers were at a loss for an exciting topic. however a good dividend in railway matters was something like charity in religion, it hid a multitude of sins. ---(Cheers and laughter.) The subkct then dropped. A. vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and directors by acclamation, and the meeting broke up. ---- EXPORTS from JAMAICA. The following interesting statistics relative to the exports from Jamaica have come to hand:— We beg to present our readers with a calculation of the estimated value of Jamaica exports for the year ending Oc tober 10, 1845, amounting to nearly one and a quarter million sterling. This, it may be remarked, is of course considerably higher than the export productions of last year exhibited, but scarcely equal to those of 1843 ; for although the crop of sugar has improved both in quantity and value, that of coffee has more than proportionately fallen off.

REVELATIONS OF RUSSIA IN 1846, BY AN ENGLISH RESIDENT.—A third edition of this work has just been pub lished, revised by the author, with additional notes, and brought down to the present time. The interest created in our own country by this remarkable publication has been extraordinary, and the excitement it has occasioned in the dominions of the Czar may be imagined from the following fact, narrated in a letter from St. Pctersburgh, in the Athe "wenn: :—" Such books as the Revelations of Russia' are to be had only for their weight in gold, and I know an instance where as much as 500 roubles (about 221.) were paid for t h e loan of a copy !" The startling disclosures regardi;;g the reign, acts, and character of the Emperor Nicholas, and the great amount of authentic ana novel intoltigencc respecting his government, dominions, and people, certainly render thi s w or k at once the most complete and interesting that has ever ap peared on the subject. MORE RESIGNATIONB.—We have heard it stated that the Duke of Richmond intends to show his alatnnyeoce of the Premier by resigning the Lord-Lieutenancy of Sussex. We know not where our calamities will end t We hope his Grace will not think of alAglishing the county, when he quits it, " for good wid all. ",-Brighton Guardian.

Peel, but it is strongly rumoured that lie will give him his hearty . support. This rumour, which is chiefly prevalent in the vicinity of Penrith and Lowther, is greatly strengthened by the fact that no protection meetings have been summoned in the county. We believe that the Earl of Lonsdale dreads much more the power of the League, and the consequent diminution of his own political influence, than the repeal of the corn-laws.—Kendal Mercury. GREENWICH PARIC.—The excavated reservoir, for supplying Greenwich Hospital and the dock-yard at Dept ford with water in case of fire, is now completed; it is con structed on one of the finest lawns in the park, and occupies about half an acre of ground. It has an unsightly appear ance, but when the object for which it is intended is con sidered, all objection ought to cease. The public have some reason to complain of the many inclosuree that have, film. time to time, been made during the last twenty years. In the present case, however, they are likely to be benefitted, as plans are now in progress, to be laid before her Ma;esty, for pulling down the old fare. - house and other buildings attached thereto. and throwing the whole area, about two acres and a half, into the pant; this will not only be a most desirableimprovement, but prevent a repetition of the many complaints from the respectable part of the lohabiten's of Blackheath, of the irregularity in opening the gates in the upper. part of the park. Other alterations ..,re talked of, which will place the management of the park on a more re spectable footing. PaicE OF UoLp.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mills. which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 45, and the exchange 4 Paris 014 L 334311 at short being 25 62k, it follows that gold is 0.68 per gent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advises from Hams bnralt the price of gold is 4331 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. tOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exelmem of 13 9i; and the exchange at llamburgh on London at 4hpFt hgng 13 11i, it follows that gold is 0.31 per cent. dearer 1.0P.494 than in Hamburgh.
