It was for this reason that he called to the recollection of the Chamber the engagement entered into by the Government to pay attention to the best means of effecting, as speedily as possible, the conversion of the Five per Cents. He fully bore in mind that engagement ; but he must declare that he did not think the present moment opportune for such a measure. He considered it likely to thoroughly dis turb that firmness which was now beginning to manifest itself in the commercial and financial affairs of the king dom. He also alluded to the necessity of introducing a new registry of lands and property, with a view to a more equal division of taxation, and the propriety of alleviating the postage of letters. The principal points of the Hon. Minister's statement may, therefore, be briefly declared to be the non-conversion this year of the Five per Cents., the introduction of a uni form tax on letters, and a new assessment of taxes throughout the kingdom. With respect to the finances the results are the following:-1. There will be an increase in the receipts, us compared with 1846, of 34,186,5461. 2. As to the extraordinary expenses, a sum of 21,341,500 f. are to be carried to the budget of receipts out of the produce of the loan ; and thirdly, the demands of the Minister of' Marine will be 8,303,000 f. more than the sums voted in 1846. In conclusion, receipts, 1,337,870,680 f. ; expenditure, 1,332,717,018 f. ; excess of receipts, 3,153,662 f. In conclusion, M. Lacave La plague alluded to the execution of the network railways now in progress, and declared that they should he urged on with all the expedition that was reconcileable with solidity and safety." The congratulatory addresses presented to his MAJESTY on New Year's-day contain little variety, but it is gratifying to find that all of them refer in strong terms to the blessings conferred on France and the rest of Europe by the preservation of peace. The words of the POPE'S Nuncio, who represented the whole diplomatic body, deserve to be quoted. "On this solemn occasion," said he, " the diplomatic corps al ways comes forward with eagerness to offer you their sincere wishes for the complete prosperity of your MAJESTY, of your Royal Family, and of France. The prodigious duration of the general peace is the most striking proof of the deep sagacity of your MAJESTY, and of the other Sovereigns, and of the perfect accord existing between the various Cabinets. The gratitude of the whole world can only be equalled by the greatness of the benefits which it receives from them. With the protection of Heaven this noble work will continue to produce its wonders." To which the KING replied : " I am much touched at hearing you appreciate, as you have just done, my constant efforts to prevent every thing that could bring down on France and the world the dreadful plapie of war, and to cultivate and prolong as much as depends on me, the happy accord which sub sists between all Sovereigns and all Governments, I unite with you most sincerely in thanking God for having so efficaciously protected it. Each new year of peace which Providence accords us is an additional pledge of its sta• bility ; and when, in casting our eyes en the past, we reckon with joy the numerous years of peace which we have enjoyed, we can read in the future with the same confidence, and foretel to the world a long continuation of this great benefit." The QUEEN, being slightly indisposed, the evening receptions of their MAJEsTiEs were postponed till Monday and 'Wednesday. By a royal ordonnance dated the 30th ult., Mr. REDMAN, the English Con sul at Mazagan, has bc•en named Knight of the Le gion of llonour, for his humane conduct towards the shipwrecked sufferers of the Papin.

EXECUTION of MARTHA BROWN ING.—(TkiIS DAY.) This morning, at eight o'clock, this unhappy young woman underwent the extreme penalty of the law in front of Newgate. Contrary to general expectation, the attendance to witness the dread scene was not so nume rous as was anticipated, considering that it was a woman who was to suffer, or, as it is, on ordinary occasions of this kind ; probably, from the severity of the weather it being a cold frosty morning, or, as we would rather hope, from a growing dislike hi the public to being pre sent at such fearful spectacles. The majority of those who did attend, as appeared from their language and behaviour, were of the lowest class, on whom the awful fate of the unhappy culprit did not seem to make much impression, and of these a considerable proportion were females. On the unhappy woman making her appearance not the slightest ebullition of feeling was manifested by the crowd. She walked with a firm step up to the scaffold, without betraying the slightest symptom of fear, or requiring the least support. She was dressed in deg) mourning. On arriving on the fatal drop the only remarks she was heard to make were, " I deserve it," which she repeated several times. The cap having been drawn over her face, and the rope adjusted, during which no exhibition of tremour was recognised, the fatal bolt was withdrawn, and she was launched into eternity. Either from her slightness of make, or from the imperfect adjustment of the rope, she struggh.d con siderably, and it was some minutes before life appeared to be extinct. After hanging the usual time the body was cut down, on which the executioner left to fulfil his dread function on the unhappy convict Quennell, at Horsemonger-lane gaol ; whither also a great portion of the crowd hastened to witness the spectacle. IXECUTION OF QUENNELL. (THIS DAY.) This unfortunate criminal, condemned to death at the last sitting of the Judges at the Central Criminal Court, Old Bailey, for the murder of Laniel Fitzgerald, at Kennington, suffered this morning the extreme sen tence of the law. The place appointed for exe cution was Horsemonger-lane gaol, and the hour fixed was the unusual one of ten o'clock. This was unavoidable, as the executioner, Calcraft, was engaged at eight o'clock with the woman Martha Browning, who suffered at Newgate. That portion of the public therefore which delights in the horrible bad ample op portunity of indulging a depraved appetite ; and judg ing from the observations of the spectators, it would seem that these mournful spectacles altogether fail in the okject fur which the Legislature first intended them. Precisely at the hour appointed, Quennell, accompa nied by the chaplain of the gaol, and some of the officers belonging to that establishment, appeared on the scaffold, and having addressed a few words (we believe a brief farewell) to the Rev. Gentleman, in less than five minutes the drop fell, and almost without a struggle he was launched into eternity. His manner seemed free from any nervousness or agitation. The crowd was very great, a considerable proportion of them appearing to be women and children. The body, after remaining suspended the usual time, was cut down, and teat portion of the crowd, who had remained till then, dispersed. MARYLEBONE VESTRY LND TILE POOR-LAW COM MISSIONEILS.—On Saturday, at the meeting of the Marylebone vestry, Mr. Hume, M.P., brought under the notice of the vestry the result of an interview which had taken place on the previous day with Sir James Graham and the Poor-l aw Commissioners. The Hon. Gentleman stated that the Com missioners appeared perfectly intractable, and expressed their determination, under the authority of the law, to persevere in uniting Marylebone with other parishes into th e North western Metropolitan Asylum District. On the other hand, Sir James Graham entered into the feelings of th e deputa tion, and expressed his willingness,in the event of the parish of St. Marylebone going to Parliament for a Bill to exempt them from the operation of the clauses in the last amended Act, to give it his support. He had n o d ou b t whetever that ultimately they would be exempted entirely from any inter ference with their local privileges by the Poor-law Commis sioners. After some discussion, the vestry resolved to con tinue the joint committee of the boards of vestry and direc tors and guardians, and to take immediate measures for going to Parliament for a Bill. 5410NEY and r - Cr - !IWERCIAI. NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 5,000 bales, of which 200 were Egyptian, at 5 1 ,4 d. to 6 1, 2 c1. The remainder, principally American, at full prices, including 500 on speculation. At the present season of the year, the annual reports of the various branches of trade attract much attention, and as occasion serves, we shall refer to the best of them. According to the accounts received from St. Petersburgh to-day there appears to be every ground for the supposition that the Government of that country is disposed to abolish the export duty on tallow, one of the principal staples of the country. A circular before us thus refers to the important topic : " There is still a well founded hope that the Russian Go vernment will remove the export duty on tallow, and should this be met by our Government, by the removal of the Ex cise duty on soap, the poor will have cause to rejoice, and the tallow and soap trade have the prospect of the year 1846 being to them a prosperous one " The quantity of tallow that arrived from Russia last year was 113,237 casks. In 1844 the arrivals were under 103,509 casks. In the year 1837 the imports were 157,930 casks. A considerable improvement has taken place in the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities to-day, which opened at 94 3 A, and are now at 955.

JANUARY 5, 1846 wheat imported when the price was under 515., and 19s. when it rose to 51s. Can any one deny that 20s. and 19s. the quarter are very high duties, or that they were fixed by Sir ROBERT PEEL ? These are fair specimens of the arguments throughout —they cast suspicion on the whole, and render the opinions and assertions of the writer of no weight whatever on a subject that can be discussed with advantage only on the fairest and soundest principles. His malignant imputations on the candour, and honesty, and word of honour of such men as Lord MORPETII and Mr. LABOUCHERB show the same spirit, and require no refutation. A Contemporary, who has devoted some three or four leading articles to refute the miserable sophistry of the writer, has at last discovered that his authority is totally worthless, and that "a moment's inspection is sufficient to inform us that it has no more to do with the severities of statistical fact, or the rigours of economical reasoning, than the hit of red jacket which the shark gulps down to his destruction has to do with a veritable shin of beef. The state ments are generally altogether casual, the authorities worthless or rebellious, the assumptions gratuitous, and the logic of that private character which depends for its force on the favourable prepossessions of the reader." We have accounts from Madrid to the 28th ult. Some efforts, it would appear, are to be made by the Opposition to resist the Government measures, and, first of all ; to move an amendment to the A3dress in the Chamber of Deputies, but the great majority leaves no doubt that NARVAEZ will have everything his own way. On the 27th the Finance Minister had a long conference with the Directors of the Bank respecting the amount of meney required by the Government for the year 1846 and the interest, but no definite ar rangement took place. It was generally understood however, that the Directors were to give in their ulti matum on the following day, and that it would be accepted. The following appears in the Gibraltar Cronica relative to the outrageous attack made by the coast guard upon a British merchant vessel : " The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Spain has ad dressed to the Ambassador of England at Madrid the annexed communication, which does honour to the Spanish Government:—' Her Catholic Majesty having taken into consideration the circumstances of the attack made by the coast-guard vessel Jupiter, on the 24th of September last, against the British feluccaVoluntaria, has dismissed her commander, and ordered that he should never be allowed to re-enter the service of the State." On the 27th the Three per Cents. closed at 36 9-16 for cash, and 36i- at 60 days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the annual addresses made to the KING on the first day of the. new year, and his MAixsTv's replies, and the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies in their bu reaux to nominate the Committee on the Address. The latter possessed much interest, as they afford means not only of judging of the intentions of Go verntnent with regard to certain points of foreign po licy, but the principal measures to be brought fur ward this session. M. GUIZOT adverted to the Message of the American President, and denounced the absurd claims of that personage to the right of excluding all European interference in the affairs of the New World. " France,' said he, " was interested in seeing independent states spring up in America. A universal republic ought no more to be permitted to be esta blished in America than an universal monarchy in Europe." This is the language which every European State is entitled to use, and Mr. FOLK will find that his words, though directed chiefly against England, will excite the indignation of every independent state _ . in the old world. The Finance Minister announced that it was not the intention of the Government to bring in a Bill this session for the rednction of the Five per Cent. Stock, but they would propose a modification of certain taxes, and among others, a uniform tax on letters. The following is an outline of the discussions in the com mitties :—M. DB LASTEIGRIN declared that what prin cipally struck him in the Speech from the Throne, was its departure from the principles of the Revolution of July. In place of laying down political data on which to treat the great national questions, mere family matters had been brought forward. The Honourable Deputy then alluded to the differences which, he said, existed between the Minister of War and the Go vernor of Algeria, and declared that he considered them calculated to impede the advancement of the colony. He also referred to the internal state of the country, and denied that it was so favourable as was represented.—M. DE PETRA" MONT defended the state of the country, both exter nally and internally. He alluded to the jobbing that had lately taken place at the Bourse, and maintained that in the midst of the fever of speculation that had arisen from great prosperity, it was impossible to pre vent some disasters taking place. He congratulated the country on the conclusion of the treaty to put down the right of search. He alluded to the con tinuance of the present Cabinet in power, and re marked, that when lately a great party in England had refrained from seizing on the chief power which was placed at its disposal, the remembrance of 1840 had contributed in no small degree to keep from the Ministry those statesmen who reckoned amongst them a man whose glory consisted in having braved France, and sought to humiliate her.—M. BERRYER passed in review the questions of Texas, La Plata, and Madagascar. Ile complained of the wretched condition of Syria, and thought that something ought to be known as to the disposition of Morocco.—The Minister of Foreign Affairs observed that a royal speech ought to be chiefly marked by its simplicity. It was by no means necessary that it should allude to all the questions that might serve as food for discussion. No great fact, however, had passed without having been touched on in the speech ; for instance, the question of the treaty to put down the right of search, and the events that had occurred in Africa, had been mentioned. France was interested in seeing independent states spring up in America. A universal republic ought no ' more to be permitted to be established in America, than a universal monarchy in Europe. The Minister of Finance defended the general policy of the Go vernment. He alluded to the late jobbing on the Bourse, which some writers had urged as a crime against the Cabinet, and reminded his hearers that the severe enactments proposed by the Government had not found favour with the Chambers. Every thing that the Government could do had been done ; and what more, he would ask, could be demanded from the Administration ? The Hon. Minister then alluded to the state of the finances, and announced that five millions at the most would constitute the de ficit that would remain after the settlement of the Bud get for 1844. If that did not constitute an absolute equilibrium, it at least came very near it. The bud gets of 1845, 1846, and 1847, would be settled even still more advantageously. The Government congratulated itself on having opposed the conversion of the Five per Cents., which, however, every one knew, it was strongly in favour of; but the loan, and the execu tion of the railroads, had rendered such a step inop portune; and he was decidedly of opinion that the moment for undertaking that great operation had not even yet arrived. He had, however, to announce the intention of Government to introduce a uniform tax on letters. He then touched on the various questions of foreign policy, defending the conduct of the Ministry, and, in conclusion, alluded to the letter of the Governor-General of Algeria, which, he observed, had been disavowed by that officer. The Cabinet could certainly consider the publication of such a proceeding a s somewhat irregular, but some sacrifice of its susc e p t ibili t i es oug h t t o b e ma d e t o the interests of the country, and to the great services of Marshal BUGRAUD. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, Admiral MACKAU presented a Bill demanding an extraordinary credit of 93,000,000 f. f or nava l construct i ons and supplies in the arsenals, and M. ACATE-LAPLAGICB statement—in other word s , th e B u d g et, which is thus the Finance Minister, presented the annual financial summed up : "He commenced by declaring that two principal cir cumstances had arisen since the end of the last session —one was the failure of certain articles of subsistence in some of the countries of Europe, and the second the crisis in the money market. Wi t h respec t to the first, France, he was rejoiced to say, had nothing to fear, the harvest and the crops of the past year having been fully of an average character. As to the seconded subject alluded to, he had to remind the Chamber that the Government, foreseeing the possibility of an exagge rated ardour in the desire to carry out the great railway system of France, had last session proposed cer tain preventive measures, which the Legislature had re fused to ageee to. The difficulties of the money-market Jund LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 5, 1846. It must be confessed that the denunciations of Noble Lords against the electoral efforts of the Anti- Corn-law League as unconstitutional would lose none of their force if Noble Lords paid more respect them selves to the constitution. When Lord SALISBURY and the Duke of RICHMOND come forward as cham pions of the offended constitution, we are naturally reminded of a certain order against interference of Peers in elections, renewed every session by the House of Commons, and violated at every election for Hertford by Lord SALISBURY, and by the Duke of RICHMOND at every election fur Sussex and Chi chester. While the new-born zeal for the constitution of bucolic aristocrats is at its height, we will show them what a fine field there is for their knight errantry where they should begin—at home. There is Lord LONDONDERRY openly threatening both city and county of Durham with the influence of the house of WYN YARD ; Mr. BRIGHT is to be driven away from the city by a candidate of Lord LONDON. , DERRY'S own choice, and Lord LONDONDERRY'S own son, because be is his son, is to eject Mr. LIDDELL, though be is a Conservative, from the county. Then there is the Duke of MARLBOROUGH, as shamless in acts as Lord LONDONDERRY in speeches. In less than three years he has made three Members for Wood stock ; put in his heir and turned him out,--then put up Lord LOFTIJS, writing an address for him, and answering for his opinions on the Maynooth Bill while Lord LOFTUS was in Italy; and within the last month he has taken a younger son from the Guards, and made him Member for Woodstock. The new Secretary for the Colonies is at this mo ment in suspense whether the Duke of NEWCASTLE will permit him to reappear at Newark ; and Lord LINCOLN, had it pleased the Premier to offer him a higher office than he holds, would have had to think what the same Duke, his papa, would say to his re-election for Nottingham. Sir THOMAM FREMANTLE knows not from day to day, as the Government makes each new step, whether the Duke of BUCKINGHAM will renew the cong'i d'elire, by virtue of which he now sits for Buckingham. An election to the other seat for Buck ingham is to take place in a few days, and every one knows that the Duke has named the candidate. As soon as the session begins, there will be a new elec tion for Midhurst, for which a relation, and of course a nominee, of the Earl of EGMONT has offered him self. Sir GEORGE CLERK is enabled to give the Government his invaluable services in Parliament only by the grace of Lord EXETER, who permits him to be returned for Stam ford. Then there is Lord BATHURST, at Cirencester; and Lord SHAFTESBURY, at Dorchester; and Lord SANDWICH, at Huntingdon ; and Lord AYLESBURY, at Marlborough ; and Lord ASHBURTON, at Thetford; and Lord Someas, at Reigate ; and the Duke of " Curry Powder," at Arundel ; and Lord PEMBROKE, at Wilton ; and the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, at Launceston ; and Lord BRISTOL, at Bury St. Ed munds; and Lord WARWICK, at Warwick; and again the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, at Winchester and Aylesbury. There is never an election for any of these places but a Peer violates the Constitution. Is there, again, a county election without inter ference of Peers, and of bucolic Peers f Verily the Duke of RICHMOND should look to the beam in his own eye before meddling with other men's motes. But we have perhaps been wrong in saying that the Duke of RICHMOND influences the Chichester elections ; and, indeed, we should infer from the late agricultural demonstration at Chichester that Lord ARTHUR LENNOX, the Duke of RICHMOND'S brother, and member of the Government abused by the Duke, holds his seat in spite of the Duke and his agricul tural fuglemen. It is difficult to account in any other way for the absence of Lord ARTHUR LENNOX,the Member for Chichester, from so great a demonstration in the borough which he represents. Of all the LENNOXES, he was the LENNOX who should have been there : but, non est inventNs, Lord MARCH wrote a letter, Lord WILLIAM LENNOX spouted nonsense— verse ; the Duke of RICHMOND maundered nonsense—prose : but the LENNOX who is Member for- the borough made no sign, neither went nor Wrote. And what is more remarkable is, that not one Word was said about him. We should then infer, that the Duke of RICHMOND and the agricultural strength of Chichester, not only find Lord ARTHUR LENNOX seated in spite of them, but see no chance of unseating him. Else, how no mention, on such an occasion of the a bsent Member, whose absence was unexplained? The subject was avoided, as if it were one of those mournful subjects which cannot be spoke n upon. They bullied PEEL, burnt the 7'inzes, blackguarded the League, but not one word of their own stray, absent Member, Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Clerk of the Ordnance : " Oh, no ! we never mention him, His name is never heard." is thecorn-lawf "coming doomed. eventsocaesd. cast their The Lord Mayors shadows before,"s o before," London and Dublin, on Saturday, presented Ad dresses to her MAJESTY against this iniquitous enact ment. The Address presented by the Lord Mayor of London respectfully represents to her MAJNSTY " That the blight which has fallen upon the potato hits subjected your Majcsty's people to great anxiet t• and distress, and to the danger of famine. That their suf ' ferings are attributable to erroneous legislation, which, by excluding the importation of food and restricting commerce, shuts out from the nation the bounty of Pro , vidence. We therefore hu m bl y pray that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to use the means in our Ma jesty's power to open the ports of this kingdom for the free importation of food." EN We feel, that had ou r gracious QuE been left solely to the dictates of her own feelings, her bene volent heart would at once have accorded the prayer of her suppliant and starving people. But, alas! our QUEEN is not left solely to herself. She cannot choose even her own friends; she, equally with her people, must obey the dictators who can obtain a " majority " in our Legislative Assemblies. The duty thus imposed on her is oft-times a painful one, but sh e per f orms it, and thus iets an admirable I ex ample to her subjects, who feel with her and for her. Her MAJESTY understands the Constitution, and ruling as a Constitutional Sovereign, she sets an exam ple of obedience to the Constitution, which all her subjects are bound to follow. And it is because her MAJESTY rules in obedience to the Constitution, and acts constitutionally only by the advice of her Ministers, that we predicate the speedy repeal of the corn •laws. The answer which her MAJESTY was advised by her Ministers to make to this address, and which, there fore, may be considered as their answer, contains the following passage:— " The wants and sufferings of my people at all times command my warmest sympathy ; and I deeply regret the failure, in the present year, of a full supply of an ar ticle of food on which so many of my subjects are acculi towed to subsist. "I have directed Parliament to assemble on an early day, and I shall gladly sanction any measure which the wisdom of the Legislature may suggest as conducive to the alleviation of this temporary distress, and to the permanent welfare of all classes of my people." This is the answer of the Minister (for the answer was dictated by him) to the Address. In it he ad mits the failure of a full supply of an article of food on which many of the subjects of the QUEEN are accus tomed to subsist. In other words, he admits that there is danger of a famine. Away, then, with all the curry powder, and peas-pudding, and mangel-wurzel nonsense of the protectionist landowners. These men would turn the distress of the people to ac count; they would make their profit by a famine; they would add to their ill-gotten gains by starving the people. It is in vain for them now to contend that the harvest has not been deficient—that the fear of famine is a bugbear conjured up by the Anti- Corn-law League. We have it from the QUEEN'S own lips that there is a "failure of the full supply of an article of food on which many of her subjects are accustomed to subsist ;" and the natural deduction from that proposition is, that if there be not an ad ditional supply of some other article of food, " many" of her MAJESTY'S subjects must starve. On whom will the guilt of the murder rest ? Clearly on those who uphold a law which prevents the introduction into the country of food for those whose full supply of food has failed. Her MAJESTY has declared her willingness to give her sanction to any measure which the Legislature may suggest for the alleviation of this distress. On the Legislature, and on the Le gislature alone, therefore, rests the responsibility of providing food for a starving people. Let them look to it, for the people will not exonerate them. They are responsible collectively, ay, and individually, for whatsoever may happen. The QUEEN will sanction any measure which they may suggest for the alleviation of the distresses of the people. If they fail to suggest such a measure, the guilt he on their own heads. And what measure can they suggest, save the abrogation of that law which, for thirty years past, has plundered the industrious people of this country, to enrich " a miser able, monopolising," non-productive " minority" of " foolish and of faded gentlemen ?" The QUEEN has declared that she will " sanction any measure that the Legislature may suggest as conducive to the alleviation of this temporary distress, and to the permanent welfare of all classes of her people." The only measure which can alleviate the present distress, and conduce to the permanent welfare of all classes of the people, is the total and immediate repeal of the corn-law. Will the oligarchy venture, in opposition to the:clearly-expressed wishes of their SOVEREIGN and her united people, to refuse their assent to such a measure ? We give them credit for the possession of common sense, and therefore we opine that they will not. They dare not uphold their monopoly against a starving people ; and the time has at length arrived when this murderous law, generated by avarice, brought forth by violence, bap tised in blood, and nurtured by fraud, must be anni hilated by the hands of justice. The article on " Ministerial Resignations," in the Quarterly Review, has attracted a great deal more no. tice than it merits, and indeed is so utterly con temptible as a defence of the present duties on corn, that we are only astonished how persons professing to be acquainted with the subject should have wasted time in analysing its statements, or reporting what the writer calls facts. It bears all the marks of a writer who never was over scrupulous in his tactics, provided they could injure an opponent, who with the_most cool impudence would adduce falsehoods for truths, and argue with the most apparent sin cerity on inventions of his own brain as if they were facts. The RICHMONDS, and the BucKlivo- HAMS, and SALISBUITS, probably thought such a man might be of use at the present crisis, and hence the violent mercenary production in defence of mono- poly. Like all the papers on the Ministerial resigna tions, in the monthly and quarterly periodicals pub lished at the close of the year, it is out of date, and consequently contains a ♦ariety of matter which pos sesses little interest now that the PEEL Cabinet is remodelled and complete. But, nevertheless, the spirit displayed by the writer, the acrimonious language used towards the party,in opposition, who have served Sir ROBERT PEEL so well, the bitter disappointment manifested at the supposed downfal of the Conserva tive Ministry and the constructon of a Whig Cabinet, teach some useful lessons, and show that the Tories are still the same race, and when thrust from power will again resort to that disgraceful policy which marked the whole of their opposition to the AIELBOURNB Government. Indeed, so rabid is the writer of the article, and so completely has he been blinded by his rage at the heavy blew and great discouragement, that he has forgotten everything like justice and fair play, and at the very outset—in the three first pages—has com pletely destroyed all confidence in his sincerity and honour throughout the succeeding remarks. After quoting from Lord Joust RUSSELL'S letter the para graph, in which the Noble Lord says that his views had, in the course of twenty years, "undergone a great alteration," and that "we ought to abstain from all interference with the supply of food," the reviewer triumphs as if he had already obtained a great victory by convicting Lord JOHN of inconsis tency. "We need hardly point out," says he, "the inconsistency of reproaching the Government with not having taken violent measures to ensure a large importation of food, and then, within ten lines, assert ing that a Government ought to abstain from all in terference whatever." It is impossible to mis take the meaning in the first paragraph quoted. To "abstain from all interference with the supply of food" signifies, in the plainest terms, that there should be no duties on corn—no sliding. scales—no interference whatever that could obstruct the importation of grain, abd this view every reader naturally takes of the expression ; but that view would not suit the writer, for he delights in quibbles and jesuitical deductions, such as those which distin guished Mr. CROKE& during the discussions on the Reform Bill, and which, before they were brought to a conclusion, rendered him of no authority whatever in the Committee. Another grievous complaint is, that the leader of the Opposition did not declare when he had changed his opinion, or why he delayed it till now, for "if stated in time, his opinion might have had some effect on the Minister's determination." But the writer himself admits that the fact had been declared, not by words only, but by deeds, and proves it by his own statements in 1841. " The truth is" (he quotes from the Quarterly of that year), " that neither Lord JOHN RUSSELL, nor Mr. M'CuLLocu t nor any one else, contemplates for a moment a fixed duty ; and the proposition is, therefore, neither more nor has than a wicked and delusive fraud." And, in the following year, his language shows still more strongly that Lord JOIIN RUSSELL had changed his opinion, for he says, "It is notorious and avowed that the enemies of all protection proposed a fixed duty cnly because it would lead directly to the removal of all protection." Thus he admits the fact was avowed by Loid JOHN RUSSELL in 1841, yet asserts, in 1845 that up to that hour the change had been k e pt a pro found secret. But we have another striking instance of the perversion of the plainest language in the third page of the article. He charges Lord JOHN RUSSELL "with a gross, and what looks like, a wilful mis representation," for stating that. by tho corn-law of 1842 "grain of all kinds has been made subject to very high duties on importation."
