MAGAZINE DAY. strike every classical reader, for Abd-el-liader is only a modern Jugurtha:— The tactics ,of Jugurtha are precisely those of Abd-el- Kader. One might suppose them to have studied the art of war in the same academy. Thus Sallust writes of the former He now presented himself before Metellus, oeca • sionally betore Marius; he attacked the rear in their march, and instantly retreated to the hills; he now threatened this quarter, now that; he wou l .d neither hazard a battle , nor allow iem any repose;' and the German lieutenant records of the troops belonging to the Arab, that, without offering any resistance to the head of the column, they hovered round it all day, with wild yells of Lu, lu They gallop without any order, and singly, to within eighty or a hundred paces of the sharpshooters and discharge their rifles at full speed. The horse then turns of his own accord, and the rider loads his piece as he retreats; and this is repeated again and again all day long. The Bedouins never wait for a close encounter hand-to-hand ; when charged by the cavalry, they disperse in all directions, but instantly return. Another peculiarity of the Numidian warfare is noticed in the fact, that the royal guards only followed the King in case of flight ; the rest of the army broke up in every direction. Thus it happened to Jugurtha after his defeat by the consul. Now we think that something like this may be traced in the present day in Algeria. The real army of Abd-el-Kader consists of 250 . horsemen and 500 foot-soldiers, whom he pays and clothes; and, with the select force, he is said to drive all the neighbouring tribes to battle. Of course, after a defeat, they disperse like the Numidians, and find their way home to their tent or village in the best way they can. Again, every now and then the public ear is surprised with intelligence of the cowardism and flight of the Sultan, who is represented to have abandoned his soldiers in the most disgraceful manner. But here, too, he is only reviving Jugurtha, who, when Sylla had routed his army near Cirta, being surrounded on every side by the Roman cavalry, and seeing all his men falling by his side, 'rushed singly through the darts of the enemy and escaped.' S.) we continually hear of Abd-el-Kader's re-appearance aftcr every discom fiture; and Jugurtha, crippled and stripped by Metellus, only retired into forests and places defended by nature, to collect an army more numerous than the farmer." The character of Sir James Graham is drawn with great impartiality, and is, perhaps, the best of those which have yet appeared in the series. Though, perhaps, the thickness of his skin may be a little exaggerated, the following picture is substantially correct :—" A hard ness andimpassability of temperament, which is to cen sure or obloquy as adamant or rhinoceros-hide, joined to a wonderful knowledge of human nature, great talents, clear perception, readiness, determination of purpose, and a steady resolution to seize all opportunities and yield none, give him great advantage in an assembly where the average of ability is not above mediocrity, and where there are so few who have the courage, or feel the incli nation, to stand forth as champions." And he adds at the close—" Such steady self-possession, joined to such talents and information, and to such debating powers as he has in his former career displayed, though now he rarely exercises them, are quite sufficient to account for that influence which we have ascribed to him ; in the absence of personal respect, which, generally speaking, he does not command, or of party gratitude, which he has done little to deserve on the one hand, and much to forfeit on the other." struck out of the list at once, and the two great Edwards, the first and thet bird, would only be entitled to statues as kings, in common ith their imbecile fathers. Notwith standing the iteguments . 'of this writer, we should cer tainly vote for givit 2 g Warren Hastings a statue. The Hinloo Gentleman in England continues his admirable letters, and from them we extract tha following amusing bit of good-humoured satire:— BLACK iVOOD. We have never seen the great Seer of the North in such a sleepy mood as at the present interesting crisis. For anything that appears in this number we might believe that the Tory guide of Scotland had abdicated the throne, and handed over his domain to a successor who knew not which way to turn. Blackwood has long been remarkable, not so much for criticism on the pub lications of the day as for original papers, and, above all, for animated dissertations on passing events; and though we differ in general from the spirit displayed in the work, we nevertheless always find something interesting, amusing, or curiously extravagant in his views, which makes us the more regret the total absence of all poli tical comments on events more remarkable than any which have occurred for the last sixteen or seventeen years. There is no excuse for this silence, either on the score of time or information. In the last number, the resignation of Sir Robert Peel and the advent of Lord John Russell were made subjects of discussion, and the discussion was broken off merely because the "crisis " was still involved in mystery. That, however, has been fully cleared up—the Conservative leader has been reinstated—he has opened his budget of secrets, and made a display sufficient to shake the mouldering bones of every old Tory. We allude not to his speech on Tuesday, but to the disclosures made on the first night of the session both in the Queen's speech and in the communications read by Lord John Russell. These left no doubt whatever of his intentions. They proclaimed distictly that the days of "protection" were numbered ; that the corn-law were doomed ; that Peel and Russell had embarked in the same boat, and that the Tories were without a leader. Yet at this eventful era, Old North, the faithful watcher on the towers of the Scottish capital, the guardian of his Tory countrymen, the elo quent advocate of aristocratic docaines, one of the main pillars of the Church and State, and the most vigorous champion of a bad cause, remains silent as the grave; and incurs the reproach of being a " dumb dog that cannot bark, sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber." We regret the result, however, only on the ground of amusement; for in other respects this dismal silence is very ominous for the bigoted class who have so long obstructed every great national improvement, and adds another proof that the monopolists are " done for." The only allusions, in fact, made to the stirring events of the day, is in some doggrel verses, headed " A Peep into the Whig Penny Post Bag," of which the subjoined extract is a specimen : "On the part I have played in this luckless transaction, I confess I look back with unmix'd satisfaction. From the first I said this—lnd 'tis pleasant to feel Thus at ease with one's self—' I'm for total repeal. Stick to that, my Lord John, and all scruples I stifle: Any office or none is to me a mere trifle ;' (Though of course, my dear Mac, for the purest of ends, I was willing to help both myself and my friends). Any office I'll take that can give you relief— From the Whip of the House to Commander-in-Chief.' " The society here is divided into a great number of different castes, which I find rather difficult to describe to you. The highest is composed of people of title ; the next, of persons who possess a carriage and horses, and several men-servants dressed very curiously ; the third, of those who have the menservants with the curious dresses, but not the carriage and horses ; and the fourth, of those who have neither titles, carriages, horses, nor men-servants. These again are subdivided into a great number of other castes :—thus, a family may have carriages, horses, and servants, and plenty of mo ney, and yet, unless they can trace their descent a great many years back, to some man who was a noted robber, or was beheaded fur treason, or was distinguished in some other way, they are not considered to be of a high caste. Trade, of ali kinds, is looked upon as giving very low caste ; and though a man gets great wealth by trade, it does not raise him much as to caste. Wealth obtained by gambling, however, which is not an uncommon mode, is considered much inure respectable. But the roost honourable way of pos sessing wealth is, like caste, to be able to trace it back to some relation who acquired it by murdering the owner and taking forcible possession of his estates, or by some other similar manner. Trade again is divided into agreat many different castes of its Own, which are so numerous and incomprehensible that I only as yet understand a little of the matter. I have Lund that a man.of the highest caste may sell, Ivithout degradation, cablages and other vegetables, corn, butter, or bullocks ; but that coals, cloths, bread, &c., are q u it e i nter di cte d commodi ties for people of any pretensions to high caste to deal in. Again, a man may sell wine in casks, and yet be considered a gentleman ; hut another man who sells the same wine in a bottle is looked upon as a very low wreath indeed." _ Among the gems of this number is a facsimile manu script sonnet by John Keats. We have also an elaborate re►iew of Cat lyle's book on " Hero Worship," and a severe, but by uo means unfair, critique on Charles Dickens's Christmas Books. The concluding article is entitled " The Corn-laws," and, strange to say, it is not in the least tinctured with party politics. The question of protection is considered on strictly economical grounds, and the paper itself might be taken as a text book by a professor of political economy lecturing to a class of university students. Oh ! If all of the party had acted as I did, In how noble a band would Lord John have presided But—"tis bcst as it is:' we may grieve, yet we shouldn't: Peel can carry the measure —'tis certain we couldn't : Though we hoped, if our reign was once fairly begun, It might last till—we did what was nelt to be done. I think (though thus leaving old views in the lurch), We shonld not have establish'd the Catholic Church. To speak for my colleagues in me would be vanity : They might differ; but I should have thought it insanity. In the hope that our friends in Auld Reeky are brawly,' I remain yours, in confidence, T. B. ➢lac—y." The third article, on Marlborough, is like the rest, full of interest, and among other achievements of that illus trious commander, gives an excellent description of the battle of Oudenarde. Bonaparte owed to him the plan of disregarding strong fortresses, and marching direct to the main point on which the fate of the campaign turned. After this decided battle Marlborough urged upon the allicd council of war the propriety of relinquishing all lesser objects, passing the fortified towns on the frontier, and advancing straight towards the French capital; and had he, like Bonaparte, been sole master, he would in two weeks have encamped his army in the Bois de Bologne. We find nothing in the other articles that re quire notice. TIE SUN, LONWON,. MONDAY EVENING-, PFII3II,ITARI DR. PUSEY'S SERMON. tvfohirec O ierh x -Ice F va o ahry e ai nu n tgc , her F ul oEu witrngh.: I.—This morning, at an early hour, the doors of the Cathedral were besieged with hundreds anxious to hear Dr. Pusey, an d on b e i ng o p en ed e v ery available place iai n ttth t e h en e dde b ed u n e d by i c n t rh g oi wr w t (el s was i t m oofo n i e it e h d te i h a ie t i ic e r l a e d - s fi 1 0 l f e seats d h . aobu T os h ae The and both the proct ors , h av i ng , w ith some diffi c ulty, madeattendedthedenserteend, urrl half-past i e t ,n said and t emnjaesdlec st l i o tlo c e k tb , hi de a md n i d nagg D api r nr . : P ype u era s , e c y et ob h oe a k v u i tn i h e t g oe as2yooctuehn;cdieaslcla chapter y e r of St. John, and the 21st to the 23d verse for his text— Father bath sent me so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost : whosoever's sins ye remit are remitted unto them ; and whosoever's sins ye retain, they are re tained." Dr. Pusey commenced with a slight allusion to his suspension, which he spoke of as a judgment from the Al mighty for his secret sins. In that sermon he had never in tended to speak controversially, but there were those who thought that when particular mention was made of the chan nels of grace that they forgot him who was the means of grace. He wished rath r to have dwelt on those gifts conveyed in the Eucharist on which they might have all been united. He dwelt on that sacrament first, as the means by which the sinful body was made clean ; secondly, as a commemorative sacrifice—quoting, in support of the latter, Bishop Wilson's prayer before administering the sacrament, that the minis ters may be worthy to offer the sacrifice ; the clergy acting not instead of, but as ministers of Christ. Dr. Pusey then arrived at the great subject of his sermon—viz., private confession and absolution. God alone can forgive sins; but would he forgive them less by conveying his forgiveness through ministers. When, in the words of his text, he said " Receive ye the Holy Ghost ; whosoever's sins ye remit are remitted unto them," who honoured him most, those who observed the command, or those who, neglected it ? In the daily prayers of the Church confession and absolution pre ceded the Lord's Prayer, and it made them fitter to hear his Divine word, and join in praise and thanksgiving. In private absolution the Church spoke words which, if she were not authorised to use, were nothing less than blasphemy : "I absolve thee from all thy sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost ;" and in the ser vice of the Visitation of the Sick, the Church exhorted her priests to move sick persons to make confession of their sins. Tee Doctor then spoke of the " intense longing" of the penitent for absolution, and the "thrilling awe " of the priest, when he used the words, "By his authority I absolve thee," and that in the name of the Trinity. In speaking of the doctrine of the keys, of the power to loose and to bind, he alluded to the lost discipline of the Church, and that the Articles of the Church allowed the power to bind. The office of the clergy in the present day was not so much with the power to bind as with the power to loose to the penitent, to minister to those who want comfort. In healthful times the power of the key was not doubted, the submission to the discipline of the Church showed the acknowledgement of her power of forgiveness. The discip line was the token of the power to loose sin. No one then said by what power or authority do you do these things ? Do the lame walk ? Do the blind see? And when asked how they did them, they might sly with St. Peter, " through faith in his name." The practice of the Church became the commentary upon the word. For instauce, infant baptism showed the command conveyed in the words "suffer little children to come unto me." The Church proposes, faith receives, and the Holy Spirit works. The doctrine of the keys was authoritatively given three times before the Resur rection: to St. Peter, " I give unto thee the keys of Heaven," and then to all the apostles, at their solemn inauguration, "As my Father sent me so send I you." The greatness of the power thus given to men was indeed sufficient to make them tremble. What angel in Heaven could have used such words so comforting to the peni tent ? By baptism they were brought into the fold ; by absolution they were restored who had broken away. All sins were forgiven, none were excepted, great and small; all may have pardon who are penitent; none are excepted " whose sins ye remit are remitted unto them ;" full, present, absolute, and universal forgiveness. Many object to the idea, that power is given to those who may abuse it. Did they not find the Almighty showing his pOwer in the weakness of his instrument? As examples, Joshua commanding the sun to stand still, and the spirit with which Paul answered Felix. It is not the man who speaks, but our Lord by the Spirit. Dr. Pusey instanced the incarnation as showing the convey ance of grace by man ; the Passion as bestowing the fruits of the Spirit through suffering, and love in the relieving of others who suffer. If any were deluded by the feigned repentance of others, God was the judge; yet God doth not the less convey grace through his servants, although some use it wrongfully. Baptism was not the less the lava of regeneration because some received it not in faith, nor the Holy Eucharist less the means of grace because some received it unworthily to their own damnation. His whole object, in the series of sermons he had preached, was the comfort of penitents. The Church allowed private confession , and, quoting the words of Latimer, " Would to God it had ever been kept in England." They might, however, be thenkful that it was not compulsory, but that the working in the Church was now from within. The discipline of the Church did not constrain the disobedient, but allowed them to bind up the broken-hearted. They could not bear the sudden restora tion of its discipline • let them wait patiently for the Lord's doing :—" The people shall be willing in the day of thy power." All will be well if man attempts not to outrun God. Dr. Pusey then alluded to an "Infidel in another land," who spoke of the corruption of the power of the key. It de pended on the clergy, whether the power they had lifted nearer Heaven or placed them deeper in Hell ; whether more blessed or more deadly in its effects. The aid of constant prayer was necessary. They were not so much in peril when they feared, as when they feared not. He then spoke of the unhindered pride and corruption of the tens of thousands now growing up in the manufacturing and mining districts, whose hearts were not opened to parent or to priest, but to Satan. After some quotations from Bishop Andrews and others, he spoke of those who being contrite of sin, however deadly, still, if wishing to be absolved, they were absolved, and if the individual knew not to whom he could tune, let him use the daily and the Eucharistic Confession, applying it to his individual sins, and although he might think the absolu- tion powerless, it was not really so, but that the repentonce was insufficient, otherwise he might embrace its Tull effect, the same as if individual imposition of bands had taken place. The ie storation of private confession the preacher spoke of as being full of difficulty. Blessed as the office was, still ex• perience showed it to be full of peril, and only to be sought with repentance and mortification by those who are seeking to live to God. Sin was awful to handle, it was difficult to hear and not be defiled. They must keep jealous watch over themselves, framing themselves with discipline, taking care not to be blind leaders of the blind ; hate all sin, that they may teach others to hate; fervent in prayer, that others may be fervent; loving much, because much has been forgiven them, they may show it in their love for others. The power of the keys was not a new doctrine, nor had it ever been wholly disused by the Church, although much overlaid during the last century. Its revival had originated not in the agency of man, but in penitents, who had received gifts of grace, not from man, but from the Lord, through his Holy Sacrament. If any felt the burden of sin, or of any particular sin, it might be a blessing to those to know that some who had been once burdened were now lightened and going on their way joyfully; formerly- the slaves of sin, were now the servants, who had been struggling with sin, were now striv ing joyously for their God. Dr. Pusey then called the atten tion of those who were tutors in the colleges to the oppor tunities they had, and the duties of their station, acting in the place of parents and guardians, in the blessings they might thus confer on their pupils. They needed no new re lation between the clergy and the laity, but only to bring into power the resources of the Church. Nor must they be disappointed if they did not find instant relief for their sins. None ever prayed to their Heavenly Father with sincerity and received a stone. The more their longing the greater his grace. If penitence on their part was sincere, the resto ration to grace on the part of God would be complete. The Church did not object to penance; she still rehearsed the examples of Ahab and others in the Old Testament—of fast ing and mourning in the New. It was better to repent any how than not at all. Evil days, perhaps, were coming upon them, even the last strife previous to the last day may now be coming. But if they trusted in God he would save them. With some, if released from sin and content, they might go on their way peacefully; with others, brands plucked from the fire by self-denial and mortification, might be means of rescuing others. and be chosen to suffer fur his namesake in fasting and in strife, even "in deaths oft," bearing about with them the dying of the Lord Jesus; and thus is life working in them, who, through them, knew him, meeting with their reward in the last day, when he shall say " W ell done thou good and faithful servant." The above is a brief outline of the sermon, which occupied nearly an hour and a half in delivery." TO MR. WEBSTER OF AMERIC A. Sir,—The question in regard to Oregon has excited so much discussion on both sides of the Atlantic, that I shall take my stand, as far as possible, from the main part of it, in order to view the conflicting parties more dispassionately and more distinctly. lam confident we shall meet on the subject with the same equable and unbiassed judgment, as when we conversed in England on matters of less excitement. It is evident to me that the better informed part of the Americans are convinced that their claims are untenable; and that the worst informed, and worst intentioned are still more firmly convinced than they. For no honest man will shrink from ar bitration. No honest man, who entertains a doubt of any right, will assert that right from controllable arrogance, or from imaginary expediency. In my opinion the courtesies and civi lities of private life ought to be carried into public, and even extended. I believe you are capable of deciding even your own cause with impartiality ; but the eye sees with more clearness what is not too near. Believing that much of the assumption and insolence of your slave-dealers was encouraged by our supineness on the aggressions of France, I cannot but express my surprise that the 'wisest and most courteous of her Kings, and most honest and temperate of her Ministers, should have interfered at all in the affairs of Otaheite ; but it will be incredible to future historians that, because we had committed no wrong on the inhabitants, by seizing and governing the territory—because we had only taught them, for half a century, the arts of peace, and the daties of reli gion, it was allowed them to extinguish both, and to convert the island into a brothel, under their protectorate. Still, I am of opinion that a better sentiment than outraged dignity withheld us from chastising, with renovated vigour and effect, a restless and reckless nation. The s ame sentiment is no less strong, and no less becoming, on the present occasion. Physically and morally, the English would suffer much from hostilities with America, but America will suffer greatly the most. Do you imagine that we should be so insane as to send an army into Oregon, or even a flee t to the coast ? No, indeed but we might, for the first time, attempt to effect by concilia tion and flattery what we usually do by force. Suppose a Man of high rank and distinction la nded in n .ay wi th gifts and de corations from a young and lovely Queen : suppose he appealed to him not merely as sov erei g n of a rich and fertile island, of a b rave , high-minded, and military nation, but as a universal defender and protector of all the blacks. Suppose he offered him five million dollars yearly to enable him to accomplish his grand plan of emancipating them all, by means of ten or twelve thousand men debarked on your southern states; wh a t t hi n k you ? The English need only transports, with a small train of artillery, a few ri▪ flemen, and a few troops of dis mounted cavalry. Many debarkations might be ma d e , th e s l av es in your country bei▪ ng well prepared for th em , an d prom i s ed the property of their masters, togeth er w ith th e mas t e rs and their families to work for them, during the term of fourteen years, in Hayti. You could a ff or d t o sen d no troopsinto Canada, nor could you conq uer th e coun t ry if y ou did. Wait, wait, my good Mr. Webster; that country will, w ithin fifty years, form five other united provinces. And this will be, because we never have attempted to introduce our language, the sacred bond of lasting union. I do not im plore the great body of your countrymen to be just and ho nest. I am no enthusiast. I am no visionary. I only do implore them to be quiet, which they can be. Oregon will be yours ; but not yet. I wish it may be ; but not by force, not by intimidatioil; that will never da The glory of Eng land snd of America is only to be extended by thuscomm a_ n i c ation of their arts and of their language. end w hich of us does it best and soonest, and there let contention both begin and end.—Yours, very sincerely, London.. WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR. The Earl and Countess of Clarendon entertained his Excellency Count de St, Aulaire, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and a select party, at dinner on Saturday last, At their house in Grviven9r-crescent. TAIT. The article on the Oregon question is written, on the whole, in an English spirit, and takes a fair view of the points at issue, but stilt there are objections, great and unanswerable objections, to the scheme for settling the differences. The writer vainly urges on the American people to compel their Government either to refer the boundary to arbitration, or offer Great Britain a price for giving up the whole. " A very moderate sum, we doubt not, would be taken." This is one of the crotchets in . which the party represented by Tait delight to in dulge, which often please a small clique, but which, if adopted, would lead to greater evils than those to be removed. The value of the Oregon territory as regards the soil, or even the extent, is absolutely nothing to this country. Our position in the Pacific is the main point, and all the money that the Americans could raise would afford no compensation for such a sacrifice as that proposed. England cannot dispense with Columbia river, she cannot abandon the Hudson's Bay Company, or, in short, submit to any bargain or compromise which would put a stop to her communications between the Chinese islands, our Australian possessions, and the whole of the Pacific and the westcoast of Canada. She can not even allow California to be surrendered to the United States, because harbours in that quarter of the world will in time, and probably in a very short time, become ab solutely necessary for our mercantile as well as our mi litary navy. But even supposing the Oregon affair set tled by this objectionable scheme, would England and America be one whit more reconciled to each other ? would the republican aggressions and conquests cease? — would the moral power of England be increased by con senting to give up her claims for a paltry sum of money? The writer himself admits that statesmen of the United States wish to annex Oregon, California, Cuba, and Ca nada, and that " democracy in America has not entirely denuded itself of the love of power which characterised the conquerors of former ages." He thus laments over their backslidings:— " It is melancholy to reflect, that the lapse of sixty years, instead of making the views and principles of American statesmen more humane and far- sighted—more philosophical, in short—has produced a diametrically opposite result. Benjamin Franklin, both morally and intellectually, was immeasurably above the contemporary statesmen of Europe, General Cass, President Polk, and too many more of the ex isting statesmen of America, have fallen almost to a level with them. When Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Adams, organised the Union, they looked forward to a people and government who were to rise superior to the low lust of ter ritorial aggrandisement—who were to introduce common sense' into the dealings of nations with each other—to extend the empire of law and reason, and narrow that of brute force. What, would these great and good men say to the language that now rings in the Senate House of \I , ashing ton ? We write not with bitterness, but with regret and despondency." The calm voice of reason has no effect upon such men, and the peace societies in England only make them more extravagant in their demands. The article on " the Lyric Poetry of Germany" contains useful reflec tions on the stake of public opinion in that quarter, more especially in Prussia, and draws a sad contrast between the professions of the late Sovereign, as well as the pre sent. and their deeds. "Only one remark we shall allow ourselves, that the sting of the sarcasm Lalltllng to some patriotic verses by Prutz] lies in the glaring opposition between profession and principle by which the Prussian Government stands so unenviably distinguished. The Czar Nicholas looks like a czar, and speaks like a czar, and uses the knout like a czar, and no man mistakes him ; so also Austria, ' honest old Austria,' sits spread out with a . quiet breadth of contented Conservatism on her green gossiping prater at Vienna, and her likewise no man mistakes; but Prussia, prating magnifi cently about her Protestantism, her intelligence, her high pressure education, her Zoll-unions, her Germanism, and Liberalism of all kinds, is, when you anatomise her closely, a hideous compound of pedant, preacher, and comedian, of coward, slave, and liar. What is to be the end of these things no man knows. For ourselves, we shall not be sur prised if the German Lyric Muse, having now at length, in her youngest incarnation, become decidedly political and practical, should quickly learn to indite in a fluid of a more potent virtue, and more perilous concoction than ink. There were songs, also, and rare ones, sung at Paris, in the year of grace one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two." DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Foremost among the articles in the Dublin University Magazine for February, is a review of " Carlyle's Crom well"—men adequately matched—the rugged self opinionaters of the pen and of the sword cheek-by-jowl. It is interesting alone as a first specimen of Irish leniency towards the Protector, but its merit is deteriorated by sundry misgivings as to the excellence of the style of authorship created by the writer of those two powerful and noble volumes. What the reviewer thinks the bad ness of Carlyle as a book-man, is in our estimation his especial goodness ; we mean the density of his lan guage, the Richter-like cast of his fancy, the bold and sudden contrasts of his thought, the dauntlessness and humanising efforts of his logic. In these respects Thomas Carlyle is a vast and wonderful original ; he casts the stones of his irony at the juggernauts of history, instead r t h e s e s s a t b o l e e s a n w d h i c c r h u s h h e i n t g h , u a s s h t u h r e l s f a r g e of prostrating himself before them in adoration—but m a e s n t P s ° o n f d s r o t u o n s h a e n n ti n i e r , his tongue is ever eloquent with savage maledictions —but they are maledictions upon the despot ; his love is lavish and it intense—but • re stricted to greatness, and to goodness, and to beauty • his symbols are unc arven and upolished—but they are vivified with truth : his w or d s are ru d e and barbarous, but they are honest. Hence his powers are singularly apportioned to the consideration of a " great earnest man" like Oliver Cromwell. Other than in the above exception, the reviewer is plain-spoken and judicious. With him, as with all dispassionate students or that great epoch of the great Oliver, the man stands forth a vindicated hero—" the world-great thing" of English history. No longer now does Cromwell loom upon us through the darkness of past days, under mediums and epithets the most malign ; be stands before us the grand, solid bodiment of a man without strategies or subterfuge—a doer of large deeds—a thinker of large thoughts ; with probity of heart to back him ; a God lover and a man-lover after his rough, nervous way. The huge marble effigy of Cromwell, so to sp-ak, had been obscured with the incrustations of inimical and false reports. In chipping off these incrustations, and displaying that huge effigy as in very truth it was at first, Carlyle has acted nobly. Though we reverence the old adage de nzortuis nil nisi bonunt we cannot but say that this sixth collection of the poetical re mains of Mrs. James Gray have no prodigious claims upon our estimation. Number two of the " Miscellanea Mystics," are singular eccentricities enough ; but more enthralling to us is " A Peep at the Mysteries of the Heidelberg Students:"—it is a peep worth some little trouble to obtain, and the descriptions are dashed off with agreeable sprightliness. Of the verses scattered through this number of the Dublin University, we would fain (but for our lack of space) transcribe those entitled " Ali Paeha and Eminah," there is a nerve running through them that we like amazingly. The golden story about " The Poor Doctor," is simply done, but inculcates a moral, and is picturesque withal : so also in some measure is the concluding portion of the " Captivity and Adventures of Joseph Pitts." A saga cious glance at " Servia—Her Revolution and Present State," and 9 very superficial political summary on "The Late Crisis,' form limits either way of this month's number, which is, altogether, very readable, very en tertaining, and not wholly uninstructive. THE UNION. This, the second number of this new candidate for public favour, is an improvement on its predecessor. Equal to it in variety, it is superior to it in the character of its pap vs. The first paper—" Shall Warren Has tings have a statue?"--is a well-written, but somewhat unjustly-severe critique on the Indian Government of that (with all his faults) great man. The writer decides that he is unworthy of a statue because he engaged in the Rohilla war; but if the being engaged in an unjust war is to be deemed a sufficient plea for depriving an otherwise great man of a statue, we fear that the whole scheme of adorning the Houses of Parliament with statues must be abandoned. AU the crusaders would be BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. Novelty and originality are the principal requisites in a monthly periodical, and in this particular the pre sent number of Bentley is remarkably deficient. Some eight or nine years since, when Boz was the editor of this Miscellany a biography, under the supervision of that illustrious humourist—a biography of Joe Gri maldi, appeared in two volumes, with a portrait of that great droll—as mere imagination never could have pic tured him—namely, in the sobriety of common-place apparel. Every reader of Dickens, and therefore every living creature who could at all appreciate the literature of fun, devoured that biography (much as it felt short of the general anticipation), and looked into the astounding seriousness of that portrait—possibly with the hope of detecting the lurking place of gaiety among the work ings of the " graver"—of discovering the curve of a grin on the cross-hatching of a laugh. Yet out comes Bentley for the February of 1846, with this same worn out, used-up, and most terribly hacknied likeness of Joey—actually as a newness; as though a capital idea had just struck the entrepreneur of this Miscellany with which to stagger the public with something wonderfully original. And then the impudent context of a memoir ! a kind of royal salute with a pea-shooter ! one page and a quarter of flippant audacity, filled with stale fribbles I Really the conductor of this publication be , tokens either very extraordinary carelessness or the most consummate insufficiency for the trifling duty he has to discharge; and we would recommend the proprietor to be somewhat more circumspect in his future ar rangements. Brien O'Linn" is continued with more vivacity than heretofore, though its interest is marred by a very inferior etching by Lerch, the first specimen of pictorial poverty we have yet witnessed in the sketches of that clever artist. Then follows a chapter by Robert Postans on the " Guinea Trade "—feeble, but startling, like the dim and wierd shapes that glimmer along the spectrum of a magic lantern. " Gaming, Gaming houses, and Gamesters." are severally pursued this month with the same evidences of research and perse• verance on the part of the writer, whose knowledge upon his subject appears neither second-band nor meagre. His disclosures are frequently strange, and deserve a very general perusal. Arthur Dudley obliges us with one of those prurient and ephemeral somethings, which consist principally of gauze and rose-leaves, and simpers, and mazurkas, and everything that is faintest and sick liest in the fancies of the love-sick ; things which we fondly but rashly imagined were becoming thoroughly forgotten. Tho particular species of composition to which we allude will be instantly comprehended when we cull the commencement of the several sections of this frivolous nullity, which is appropriately christened " The Two Bouquets." First, " The mists of evening were falling, and I was about pursuing my course homeward." Secondly, " It was a May morning ; the birds were singing from every bush and tree." Thirdly, " Under the lime-trees of the Schloss-Platz of C—, in the middle of the sweet-scented, sunny month of June." Fourthly, " The most perfectly organised orchestra imaginable was just in the middle of its execution of Strauss's immortal Schusuchts Walzer.' " Fifthly, " I had arrived in the middle of a fine October night at V—." Sixthly, "It was one night, in the middle of January, between ten and eleven o'olock." If this is not the most stilted balderdash, the words we have quoted are not in Bentley ; it is out-annualling the annuals, and out keepsaking the keepsakes. Mrs. Gore has a smart, Laman-Blanchard-like paper on " Travelled Men ;" and the Irish Whiskey Drinker—a famous fellow in his particular walk—has the atrocity to encroach upon a literary territory, sanctified with the footsteps of Chris topher North, by commenc i ng a conversat i ona l c l u b a t ri he e wouldwal kin gd teh n eb o yt two s s i h d o e w bw is h tth i s oa c n o ct m roi r o e s ' r is s a l u P t s i P , v e e h r a e l l i Y w t t d e a s i s s L y i f ill c butions in this number ar e , first, a sup er b li t- We bit of extravagant fun by Albert Smith, called " Mr. Tonks and his great Christmas failure," fill e d w i t h such pre posterous and spontaneous drolleries as that of the " small children in their quaint, strait dresses, who looked as if they might have been taken up and rung like so many hand bells:" and, secondly, another libation from D. Canter, commemorative of such actors as Mun den, and Blanchard, and Fawcett; the anecdote about Gattie in particular, is richly told. Saving, however, these two exceptions, the present mouth of Bentley is extremely indifferent. ERASER. The present number contains several articles of supe rior merit, and among these we prefer " Contemporary Orators—Sir James Graham," and " Latin Pamphleteers —Sallust." The "Principal Campaigns in the Rise of Napoleon," even though so often described and supposed to lee well understood, have furnished matter for an in teresting paper, which, chiefly from documents, and furnished by Col. Mitchell, proves that there are great exaggerations and falsehoods respecting the more strik - ing events in the memoirs of Napoleon. Effect at that time was a matter of the first consequence ; it was neces sary to electrify France by the continued announcement of great deeds of arms ; and historical truth was the last consideration in framing the dispatches sent to Paris. The success and superior abilities of Bonaparte were, however, so manifest, that scarcely any one took the trouble to ascertain whether results and their causes were correctly described. As matters of history, however, these assume more importance, and require to be stated with care. Someof the exaggerations in the memoirs are certainly very glaring. For instance, it is now well known that at the battle of St. George, which ended the third act of the Italian campaign, the Austrians lost somewhat less than 12,000 men, kill e d, wound e d, or cap tured; while the dispatches state that they lost 30,000 men, killed and wounded, and that 14,000 were driven into Mantua. This would give about 4,000 men more than the whole of the Austrian force at the commence ment of operations, and many similar instances of the same kind are given. " The Position of Ministers" is a great failure; the writer does not appear to have made up his mind on any question connected with it, if we except perhaps his resolution " never to consent to the eradication of the aristocratic principle from the English constitution, nor sanction any measures which have a tendency in that dire 2tion. " The corn-laws he seems to consider necessary to the aristo cratic principle ; and, therefore, Fraser might as well have said, " We abjure Peel ;" but, nevertheless, he wavers in a most ambiguous manner, and protests that "he will take his place where truth, and honour, and good policy seem to dictate." It is refreshing to turn from such a subject to the beautiful and correct charac ter drawn of Sallust, and to the apt and learned illustra tions with which it is interspersed. The writer is master of his subject, familiar with the authors who have commented on this celebrated biographer; (fo r the lives of Cataline and Jugurtha are the only works of his that have survived the ravages of time, and the hands of bar barians) throws in occasionally interesting remarks on , Livy and Tacitus, as well as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon, and draws an interesting comparison between the wars carried on in Africa by the Romans, and those by the Rauch at the present time. One extract will DOLMAIVS MAGAZINE. The Anecdotes of Louis XVIII. are concluded in this number, and albeit the writer is evidently one of the old regime who would fain exalt Louis into a hero, yet the facts recorded by the King himself prove that he was un principled, selfish, cunning, and low. minded. In an in terview with the Emperor Alexander, at Mitten, in 1806, the Emperor said to him, " If God should prosper my arms, my chief satisfaction will be to reconduct your Majesty to France," to which Louis, who only a short time before had written to Bonaparte, " I burn with impatience to restore peace to my people," replies. " Mine will consist in entering France under your auspices ; I hope everything from the bravery of ycur troops ;" and yet on his return to France in 1814, in his very first interview with Talleyrand at Compeigne, he says, " I am anxious to be rid of the Allies." In the following passage of his journal he describes his sensations on hearing of his restoration : " It were vain for me to attempt the expression of all that passed within me when my return to France was really de cided upon. I can well understand the joy which a mere citizen must experience at finding himself freed from politi cal ostracism, how far more intense, then, the feelings of an exiled and proscribed king, who reascenis the noblest throne in the world ; my transports of joy, which the due main • tainance of my dignity compelle4 me to restrain, were of such a nature, that in despite of ill my philosophy, I could not but fancy that a monarch must be a being of a somewhat different order from a mere mortal. In short, for several days I was enabled to put faith in the proverbial expression, happy as a king!'" Surely such a mind was incapable of great ideas. It was the joy of a child over a new toy. Throughout his whole career he hated and feared Louis Philippe, and if that really great man steered his course in safety through the perils of the Restoration, it was not because every en deavour was not made, every intrigue was not resorted to to ensure his ruin. The interesting novel of " The Coun tess Clemente" is continued, and Mr. Miles Gerald Keon commences a tale entitled " The Catholic Man of Letters in London," which promises to be a severe casti gation of the new generation. A certain Reginald I Rupert is the hero of the tale : " His ancestors had been. Catholics ever. They flourished before Protestantism had a name, and scorned to belong to a church as ephemeral and more upstart than their own house. The mighty religion that could boast of a pedigree more an cient than theirs, commanded the deep loyalty of their fer vent veneration, apart from other considerations of intellec tual conviction, such as are not afforded by human churches, by national churches, by whimsical chuches." This passage is a curious illustration of the spirit of Catholicity. Love of aristocratical domination is per haps the real cause of many of the recent co,:versions to that faith. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE This miscellany preserves its character with much ability, discussing interesting matter about some of our most interesting colonies, aad does it moreover in a very interesting way. St. Helena, Prince of Wales Island, Canada East and West, Cape Colony, and the Sandwich Islands, are severally described by gentlemen very competent for the office of narration. A tale of Australia is continued by Mr. Leigh, and the editor himself contributes tK o sterling articles upon sugar, both as a natural production and as manufactured from maple. There is, however, one blemish about this num ber of the Colonial—and an intolerable blemish it is : we allude to a w onderfully silly " Suggestion for pro moting Emigration to the British Colonies," in which, for no ostensible or earthly purpose whatever, O'Con nell, Cobden, and W. J. Fox are introduced—we had almost said lugged in neck-and-crop—with some sple netic remark about those three gentlemen " wallowing in the mire, like the sow." Mr. Campbell had better be a little more cautious in what he pens for the future, or, at the least, not parade his name with such singular documents. Otherwise the articles are well selected.

EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TIDES IN THE WEST. On Thursday morning last, a high tide, unprecedented in the memory of the most aged inhabitant of the town, raised the waters of the Usk far above its banks, inundating a con siderable portion of the town and neighbourhood, presenting scenes from the churchyard of St. Woolloor, the barracks, and other elevated s►tuations, of a romantic and alarming character. In castin . g2the eye towards the moors, which seemed like a stupendous lake, the various farm-houses ap peared as solitary' specks in the wide waste of waters. The tide was up 'within three inches of the top of cur dock gates, exceeding by a foot the memorable spring tide which took place in March, 1842. We regret to state that the damage and loss, in various ways, have been extensive and serious. The road from Newport-bridge to Fair Oak Hill, and a part of the Chepstow-road, were impassable 'until the ebbing.of the tide. The Abergavenny mail was obliged to go through the Fair Oak Common, and it was with the greatest risk and difficulty that Mr. Thomas, the careful driver, was able to make his way to the main road. It is said that several families residing in the moors can only leave their dwelling in boats, and that others are confined by the surrounding waters to the upper rooms of their houses. The swelling of the waters is attributed to the strong south-west gales, combined with the heavy land floods As are instance of the force of the current of fresh water, we have heard that a wreck, with a buoy there on, lying at the river's mouth, in ten feet at low water, has been driven a mile further into the channel from her former position, upon which a fresh w reek buoy has been placed by our active harbour- master, where there is only five feet at low water. During the last fortnight, and in the heavy gales and thick weather, a ship, at present unknown, came in contact with the beacon on the Monkstono Rock, and carried the same away—she is supposed now to be in our port. If this should meet the eye of the master of the said vessel, it would be much wiser for him to report the same at the harbour -office than to run the risk of incurring the heavy penalty attending the concealment of the same. Such has been the fresh in the river Usk during the last week, that the flood was higher by three feet, under the Castle Mount, et Abergavenny, than has ever been known. We are also cre dibly informed that two breaches have been made in the sea wall to the westward of our river, and that many serious losses have occurred in the cattle, sheep, &c., and that even the lives of individuals have been endangered in endeavour ing to save the same. --Monmouthshire M er li n. SWANSEA. —During the past week, especially on Wednes day and Thursday, this town was visited with extraordinary high tides, which, combined with the floods consequent upon the heavy and incessant rains recently experienced, have been productive of considerable injury and serious losses in some parts of the town, particularly in the vicinity of the Strand, along the banks of the river. and other low situated portions of the town. About six o'clock on Wednesday morning, near high tide time, a rather disastrous accident betel the works now in progress in our river near the Pot tery. It appears that at that time the lower of the two dams, built across the river for the purpose of preserving dry that portion of the bed lying between them to facilitate the erec tion of the bridge, gave way, owing, it is supposed, to the great pressure of water, an extensive breach was made in the part of the dam nearest the town. The rush of the torrent of water in the vacuum on the inner side of the dam (the bed of the river between the two dams having been dried up), was tremendous. Owing to the violence and rapidity of the cur rent the brig Elizabeth, Jones, master and owner, which lay at the Swansea Coal Company's wharf, was broken from her moorings, and carried with irresistible violence through the reach. Fortunately she did not come in contact with any portion of the walling, or she would in all probability have been shattered to pieces. As it is, the stern-post has been destroyed, and the keel and other parts of the vessel partially so. It was a fortunate circumstance that the occurrence did not take place at a time the men were at work in the bed of the river. Had that been the case, loss of life would most assuredly have ensued. In a pecuniary point of view, the damage sustained is very great, while the accident will have the effect of delaying the progress of the works for a considerable period. The ferryman at the Slip states, that he was on the west stairs waiting his turn across, when sud denly the water, which was about ten inches above the quay wall, fell two feet, to his great alarm ; this will give some notion of the greatness and suddenness of the irruption into the empty space of the bridge works. During the time of high water on Thursday morning, the Strand and lower por tion of Wind-street were completely flooded, the water in several instances being some feet deep ; the cellars and ground-floors were consequently filled with water, to the complete destruction of the stock of beer and spirits in the cellars of several public-houses, as well as of stores kept in underground rooms. It would be too tedious a task to enumerate the parties who have sustained losses in these re spects. Owing to the bad state of the drainage in these parts of the town, we fear the efFect of the humidity and damp re sulting from the overflowing of the water will be felt for some time to come. So high a tide has not been remembered for a long series of years.—Cambrian. CARDIFF.—On Wednesday morning last, as the London and Gloucester mail approached the Rumney-bridge, near Cardiff, the coachman, Mr. Thoroughgeod, discovered that the road was covered with water. With his usual cautious ness he attempted to drive through it, but the farther he got the deeper it became ; the strong run of the tide, and the heavy flood, soon compelled the horses to swim, whilst the coach was being carried away by the current. The coachman endeavoured to keep up against if, but in vain; for when he reached the Pengam-bridge (about half a mile distant from Rumney-bridge), the coach was gently laid on a bank on the left-hand side coming from Newport. The passengers out side, a lady and gentleman, jumped off, and got safely on terra firma ; those inside, five in number, got out while the coach lay on its side. Of course they got into the water. The poor horses were immersed in the flood. The coach man, guard, and a farm servant, unharnessed them as soon as possible, and got three of them up alive, but one was drowned. The coach was then righted, and they proceeded to Cardiff, after about an hour's delay. None of the passengers suffered anything more than a ducking; and no blame whatever is attributable to the driver, who is considered one of the best and most cautious whips on the road. The blame is attribu table to the turnpike commissioners, for leaving the road in such an exposed condition as to be thus inundated.—Mon mouthshire Merlin. FLOODS AT LLANELLY.—Our correspondent at:Llanelly says :—" During the past week this town and neighbourhood have been visited with unusually high tides and heavy floods. Nearly the whole road from Pembrey to Loughor is com pleteli inundated. A large amount of property of every de scription has been much injured, and some entirely destroyed. Half the houses in town have been flooded, while a great deal of property in warehouses, &c., in the neighbourhood of the docks has suffered. A portion of the Llanelly Railway has been destroyed in consequence of the foundation having been washed away by the water; the consequence was that the engine and tender were overturned on the arrival of the train from Cwm Amman this (Thursday) morning. For tunately no person was hurt."—Ancther correspondent in forms us of the destruction of the Great Marsh embankment at Llanelly. and overflow of the marsh. He says—" This morning, between the hours of six and seven, the embank ment gave way, and in the course of an hour the whole of the marsh was covered with water. Horses, cattle, sheep, and pigs, hay and corn, were carried away before the water, but fortunately the principal part of the hve stock were saved. The Llanelly Railway and Dock Company are suf ferers to a great extent, the water having destroyed the line to a considerable distance. The poor cottagers re aiding near the Sandy Gate were in the greatest danger of their lives, and with great difficulty were extri cated from their perilous situation, the water being up to to the eves of the houses; all their pigs were drowned. The farmers generally are great sufferers. Mr. Francis M‘Kier nin, inn-keeper, and Mr. Richard Jones, butcher, may be considered about the greatest. The tram-road from the Pool Colliery to Pembrey is entirely destroyed. The land now from the New Docks to Loughor presents one sheet of water, with only the tops of the hedges in sight. lam glad to say that up to the present moment (four o'clock r.se.), no persons are missing. The houses near the copper-works have their cellars full. Such an occurrence has not taken pia m since the burgesses of Llannelly erected the embankment." Cambrian. HIGHBRIDGE.—We have been visited with an extraordi nary high tide this morning (28th inst.) The tide washed down part of the sea-wall at Burnham, and flowed over the sea. wall at High Peel, inundating nearly the whole of that neighbourhood, and doing considerable damage to the High bridge Inn, where the water was from three to four feet deep in the house, stables, andwhole of the premises; it also washed down a wall forty yards long and ten feet high. Nearly all the houses in the village were under water, the inhabi- tants being obliged to retire up stairs. The water was so deep on the Burnham-road, that Butson's coach was carried into the river, the coachman and four passengers narrowly escaping beirg drowned. We understand that one farmer, of Brean, had upwards of a hundred sheep drowned, and we fear many more losses have been sustained.—Somerset County Gazette. BARNSTAPLE.—On Wednesday morning the inhabitants residing near the square and quays were aroused from their sleep by an inundation. Several houses having underground cellars and kitchens were filled to the ceiling. Mr. Symons, grocer, has had groceries to the amount of 100/. completely spoiled ; the turnpike roads leading from this town to Bide ford, Southmolton, and Ilfracombe, were three or four feet deep with water ; the two beautiful banks which grace the bridge were invisible—large boats were paddling from the square to the quays—the rails around the square were covered. There has not been an inundation like this in Barnstaple for thirty years. We should think the damage done, together wi:11 the great loss of cattle in the fields adjacent, will fa ceed 3001. or 400/. The houses at Newport shared a similar fate. The destruction of property . was very great. The turnpike road leading to Bideford is totally immersed, and all communication with this town is stopped until the water disappears. — Western Times. CARNARVON.—On Thursday last one of the highest tides occurred at this port within bite memory of the oldest inha bitant. The quays were inundated, and the railway near the machine house, was entirely covered, so that the ship wrights, and others in the neighbourhood were obliged to suspend their labours. The orchard at Pont Seiont and the Morfa were also covered with water. We believe no damage of any importance has been sustained.—Carnarro n H era ld. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) COWBRIDGF., JAN. 31.—The most extraordinary high tide that has occurred for many years came up the Bristol Channel this week, causing great devastation to on the Welsh coas t ; in some places the inhabitants hadleave their houses with the greatest precipitancy. We have experienced throughout South Wales incessant heavy rains, and great fears are now entertained as to the inset crops. The Wheat looks, in some places, t oo proud ; and . , generally speaking, I expect a failure. To be sure, there T i no . t much wheat sown, the late harvest and constant rains in t g ink cp w t e tte s far f m l r in doors. Should there come, which expect, some severe frost about March and April, may fully imagine even the consequence; the ground being so fully saturated will be completely iron -bound, putting all wheat (spring sowing) out of the question. I am a friend to farming, but I hesitate not in saying that an alteration of the corn-laws is positively requisite, and I feel convinced that a free trade will not so injure us as supposed. At first it may appear so, but the event will dis prove it. A melancholy accident occurred near Cardiff last Sunday. Two women were returning from a chapel where they had been attending, and having to pass over a bridge, they missed their way, and went into the water. Both were drowned ; one of them was blind. A large quantity of wreck has come ashore at different points, the remnants of the unfortunate vessels lost In the late gales. The weather is still very 14015torous and stormy in the Channel. SIR R. PEEL'S NEW TARIFF.—On Saturday evening a meeting of the broad silk hand-loom weavers in Spital fields, was held at the Crown and Anchor, Waterloo-town, Bethnal-green. The speakers were unanimous in declaring that the new propositions of Sir Robert Peel, with regard to silk, would ruin their trade. The result was a resolution to the effect that the trade generally should be appealed to, that a strong opposition should be organised, and that petitions to Parliament against the proposed relaxation of the protection to the silk trade, should be prepared, signed ? presentedtaknn.

Sin,--The general principles of public justice being the same in all countries, it ought to follow that the proportion of national taxation borne by each class of society should be pretty equal among the various nations of Europe. When, therefore, we have landowners complaining at country meet ings that-their land is unduly taxed, it becomes necessary to ascertain how the fact really stands, by making a comparison with other countries. For instance, the land-tax of France is stated by M. Humann, M. Dupin, &c., at 14,000,0001. sterling, which (the total revenue of that country being usually about 50,000,0001.) is 28 per cent. of the whole, and it has since been increased. Mr. M•Gregor states the land tax of Austria to be 87 millions of florins, and the total re venue 164 millions of florins, so that the land-tax exceeds 53 per cent. of the whole. Mr. M‘Gregor also states the land tax of Prussia to be 26,630,000 thalers, and the total revenue 51,740,000 thalers, so that the land-tax exceeds 51 per cent. of the national income. Again, the total revenue of Sweden amounted in 1827 to 19,465,970 rix dollars, of which 12,622,621, or 65 per cent., was derived from the tax on land. It seems, therefore, unnecessary to give further examples, and Mr. M'Gregor, in speaking generally on the subject, says:--" The landed interests of France, Flanders, Holland, all Germany, and all Italy, pay at least one-half of the na tional taxation' by a direct tax upon land." Iu turning from these countries to Gieat Britain, we find the land-tax amounting to 1,192,6351., or, including the proportion that has been redeemed, to about 2,000,C00/. sterling, out of a total revenue of 50,000,0001., which is only 4 per cent. of the whole. Tue land-tax of Great Britain having been originally a commutation of the feudal rights of the Crown, at tne rate of 45. in the pound of real rent, should at the present moment have amounted to above 14,000,0001., as in France, had the country been justly governed. Not only have English landlords thus evaded the amount of land-tax equitably due to the State, but they have fur ther exempted themselves from any tax on the descent of real property, such as all other descriptions pay, which tax ou the descent of land amounts in France to about a year's rental of the estate, and in this country ought to produce several millions a year to the Exchequer. Further, these our legislators have exempted farmers from many taxes which are paid by all other classes, which is, in other words, to put so much additional rent into the pocket of the land owner, and thus further enrich the already richest class of society. No such exemptions in favour of a class exist in any coun try of Europe except our own. It is only to enrich the land owner that farmers' dogs, farmers' fire insurance, and drain ing -tiles are exempted from duty, and other exemptions too tedious to enumerate, while the poorest tradesman in every town has to pay a tax on all these things. Even the heart of a toll-bar-keeper melts into liberality at the sight of a farmer's lime-cart, while the poor tradesman's must pay toll to the uttermost farthing. Now, however, that the corn -laws approach their termina tion, a snore unreasonable outcry than even that of protection has been raised in shape of a demand for compensation, inso much that it has been proposed that the expense of making roads through noblemen's estates, supposing them poor, and prosecuting poachers on their game-preserves' should be paid out of the Consolidated Fund, or, in other words, by the public at large. It is more than questionable whether the persons who ad vocate compensation in their favour are prepared, on the even- handed principle of justice, likewise to throw the paving rates, the poor-rates, and police-rates, of every town in the empire on the Consolidated Fund, without which condition their favourite proposal would be a public robbery; for the foregoing facts sufficiently prove that, instead of being even taxed, the land and landowners pay too little to the Ex chequer by about twenty millions a year. It' the word compensation is to be dragged at all into the approaching settlement of the corn-law question, it ought certainly to be a compensation of the public for the wrongs already inflicted on them for the sole and doubtful benefit of a class; and it would be worthy of the proposed philan thropy of "Young England" to propose that every labour ing man in the kingdom, who has attained middle age, and brought up a family, should be compensated by a grant of garden-ground, rent free, to be taken from the large estates. Every farmer knows that his business has been a very hazardous one under the present corn-law, and the agricul tural labourers of Wiltshire,who lately met, sufficiently pro claimed to the world that under the law of protection they have been reduced to the lowest point of human destitution. Yet these are the, parties for whose benefit the corn-law 14 professed to have been made. In a densely peopled country such as England, agricul tural produce will always (unfortunately for the people) be at least twenty per cent. dearer than on the Continent, that being the average expense attending importation; and as no corn-law ever has, or ever can, raise the price of labour, our working classes will always be under that amount of dis advantage as compared with those abroad. Free trade might, however, by raising the general condi tion of the British people, create for the landowners some additional consumers of wheat and animal food—millions at present existing, mere especially in Ireland, chiefly on potatoes. The childish and oft-repeated assertions of the monopolists as respects dependence upon foreigners, and land going out of cultivation, scarcely require, at the present stage of the argument, serious contradiction; for the sooner that all nations are dependent on each other for the comforts and conveniences of life, the sooner will the reign of peace and good-will commence among men. In 1815, 80s. was de clared to be the lowest price at which wheat could be culti vated in this country, yet the best wheat has two or three times since that period been as low as 40s. per quarter, or even less, without there having been a single acre less land under cultivation, but greatly the contrarv.—l am, Sir, &c.
