The vete of the American Senate on the Oregon ques tion, which has been looked for with some anxiety by stoele-jobbers, and by that class only, is regarded by most other persons, at least by all who are acquainted with the constitution of the United States, without the slightest interest. From the speeches made in that House on the subject, the principles on which the Members are elected, and the enormous power granted to the PRESIDENT, it may be taken as a certain result that on tl.is point all the three different estates will agree. The popular voice in that country has power to influence and guide every movement both in domestic and foreign relations, because all the agents are de pendent On its will. In this kingdom, even with the numerous and great changes produced by the Reform Bill, the power of the people arising from the franchise is extremely limited, and when compared with that of the inhabitants of the United States, can scarcely be taken int) Calculation. The ten-pound franchise tells only in the large towns —in the small boroughs it is of no use whatever, so completely are the electors exposed to the influence of some powerful landed pro prietor or mill-owner, as well as to the temptation of bribery and corruption. The Americans are not half so honest as the English electors, but their very condition —the fact that they are scattered over an immense terri tory, without any great lord or wealthy neighbour to control them—compels them to look for other fruits from their votes than those which are generally sought after in this country. Whatever, therefore, is the mania oF the day must be adopted by the Legislature as well as by the PRESIDENT himself. The elemiens take place every two years for the House of Representatives, and those for the Senate every six years, the Chief Magis trate being elected for only four—all short tenure.. A slight glance at the mode in which these three dements of Government are selected is sufficient to show that the power of the people is without bounds, and must alto ef fectually control the well-weighed and deliberate opinions ezew)f . all who aspire to the rank of statesmen, or to VF,_l 3 ,k - Zr Peeffice whatever under Government. The re en tires are. electsd by the persons whts elect t bs e %-, lar branches of the different state legit• c ` . -laturee hat is, by the whole body of the male s, who are of age, sound mind, and un . y conviction for felony or some degrading ',Crime. he Senate is elected by the legislatures of the diNent states, all chosen by the people, and the Pre '•"`. sident is appointed by electors nominated by the dif- ferent states, each state nominating a number equal to its senators and representatives in Congress. The num ber of senators for each state; whether small or great, is two ; the number of representatives depends on the population—N ew York, for instance, returnieg thirty. four members, while Delaware returns only one; but in whatever proportion, or Orough whatever forms the course of election runs, it proceeds ultimately from the people as its source, and hence the timid, wavering, and electioneering harangues of such men as WEBSTER and CALuouN, and the few other statesmen who apparently act on independent principles. The PRESIDENT, it is true, has a veto on the acts of Congress, but that only for a limited number of times, and besides he is a very transitory ruler—he can reign onlrfour years, and must go back to his good masters to get a renewal of the lease. He has thus every induce ment to yield to the popular clamour, and when, as in the present instance, he not only yields to it, but seems to lead it, the decisions of Congress are virtually those of a countless democracy, scattered over a vast territory, and consisting in a great measure of men half educated, or not educated at all, not scrupulous in their morality, and disposed rather to contemn than respect those con stitutional principles and those international conventions which have been viewed with reverence by the inhabitants of more ancient and civilised communities. The vast patron age of the PRESIDENT, too, is a dangerous weapon in times like these, and cannot Tail to have a most injurious in fluence on Members of Congress. lie is Commander in-Chief of the army and navy ; he makes treaties, which, however, require the ratification of the Senate ; he nominates to all julicial and diplomatic offices ; in !'act, be enjoys the whole patronage of the Union, and has infinitely greater means to purchase votes than any veowned head in Europe. This is the machine con- Aructed by the WASHINGTONS, the FRANELINS, and the ADAMSES, to be the model of Government for the New World, and the envy and won ler of the Old. Every day, however, it appears to fail more and more in accomplishing the objects of its authors ; bankruptcy and want of national faith are considered no defects ; the preservation of peace, so dear to its great founder, is the last consideration of the existing rulers; the occupa tion of their neighbour.' territory by force or fraud, is a master-stroke of policy ; and a wanton assumption of claims which they call rights, and which renders them the enemies of every European power, is praised as a proof of the power, and wisdom, and independence of the new Republic. Lord ABERDEEN, it will thus be seen, has no easy task in preserving peace with a community like this ; but still he is confident of success, and all we say is—if the Foreign Secretary can settle the Or'gon question without a war, and at the same time maintain the rights and the honour of England, he will be entitled to a high rank among the first of statesmen. exist and be governed according to the limos of juitice. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS (From The Sun of Saturday Eyeing.) The Cotton-market at Liverpool yesterda:was dull and heavy, but prices have not varied from previus quotations. The sales were over 4,000 bales. Shares:in established lines are lower to da3 and in scrips almost impossible to make sales, except t considerable reduct sus. The total value of imports at the port of lrouto, for the year ending the sth of January, 1846, is 12,747/. sterling, the revenue collected, 22,200/. currency. Ite increase on several important articles has been very cesiderablis ; and if tl e duty on some of these, such as tea and obacco, had not been reduced, the revenue would have showrun amount cor responding with it. The increased importatm of tea alone, as compared with last year, is 65,2891b5. Estimated value of exports, 187,700/. Increase of shipping on Lake Ontario in tie year 1845 : Two ships, three brigs, three schooners, ant one propellor; total, 2,712 tons.

Their oppression was a perpetual cause of excite ment; it was their right to strive to shake off an iron yoke; it had been their history during the last eighty years. He had not the courage, like others, in pre sence of the reverses of the insurgents end the blood they had just shed, to blame their late attempt. No body in France was placed in a condition to appreciate the circumstances that led to the insurrection, and to judge of its opportunity. Those who are deprived of all the blessings enjoyed in other countries should not be lightly condemned for not better biding their time and calculating their chances of success. He then examined the condition of the Poles under the Prussian and Austrian rule, and commended the system pursued by Prussia towards her Polish subjects, who were at least freed from bondage and all forced labour. In Gal licia the people possessed nothing, and could legally pos sess nothing. The peasants were subjected to the most arbitrary treatment, and it was not surpris ing that they had revolted against the nobility. It was JOSEPEI 11. who had estranged from the latter the affection of the rural classes. That Sovereign had charged the nobility with the exercise of the most onerous and oppressive part of the Austrian system of government. It had been denied that Austria had set a price on the head of the Gallician nobles, but Ile had received a document from which it appeared that something very like this had been done, for the Aus trian Government had offered a premium of I2f. to the peasant who should reveal the intrigues of the nobles; Ind 25f. to those who delivered their landlords hand- cuffed to the authorities. But Poland, he foretell, would again rise; twenty-two millions of souls were not easily exterminated, and so long as justice should be denied them they would revolt. And why should Poland cease to hope, when she sees Greece and Ireland, so long op pressed, and like her effaced from the map of Europe, re sume their rank among nations ? lie declared,' in con clucion, that Poland was imperishable, and that he hoped to live to witness her resurrection, and to see M. GUIZOT himself come forward to proclaim the legitimacy and equity of her revolution. M. GUIZOT briefly replied. and said he did not consider it useful or expedient to enter on such a discussion. It was not the duty of the Government to interfere in favour of, or take part in, the Polish insurrection—all the Government could possibly do was to afford a hospitable refuge to Polish exiles, and give them all the assistance due to their misfortune. A Government, after mature reflection, having adopted a political resolution, should shape its actions to it words. Now, the partition of Poland was an accomplished fact, upon the justice of which the present Government had not been called to pronounce, and which it had merely 84- cepted with the rest of Europe. The Prince DE Mosxows the stn of NEv, who knew the Poles well, next ad dressed the Chamber, and was left speaking at the hour of post. It appears from the Meridionale, a paper pub 16hed at Toulouse, that a disturbance had taken place at the theatre of that town, in consequence of the audience making some very noisy demonstration in re gard to the Polish insurrection. The following account of the affair appears in that journal of the 16th inst. : CLOSING PRICES. 95 212►% r. 6 IA FOREIGN FUNDS. Buenos Ayres Bonds, 6 per Cent Grenada, 1 per Cent .. .

Never have Members of the Lower House exhibited such pertinacity in frittering away the time of Parlia ment and the patience of the people as the protec tionists have done throughout their wanton and forlorn opposition ; and never was this grievance more manifest than during the discussion of Friday evening. We had participated in the general expectation that these Hon. Gentlemen would have yielded to the dictates of com mon sense, and have withdrawn, or at least moderated, their frivolous antagonism; their proceedings, however, in reference to the timber duties, have dispelled the illu sion altogether. They are the same egregious stumbling blocks as heretofore—they will not rest satisfied until they have each individually stood in the very pathway of the great Ministerial proposition, and been crushed to absolutely nothing in the passage of the free-trade measures through Committee. In a maiden speech of no pretensions whatever, the Marquis of WORCESTER moved an amendment favourable to the continuance of protection to foreign timber, and, after a few moments of significant trepidation on the part of Mr. 11. lIINDE, that Honourable Gentleman supported the amendment. Other speeches condemna tory of this particular resolution, as well as of various other resolutions in the tit-Hi in masse, were delivered by Mr. CHAPMAN, Captain HARRIS, MT. PALMER, Mr. PETER BORTHWICK, and Mr.-HENLEY; and as if to give the opposal a climax, Lord GEORGE BENTINCK—the SISYPHUS of landed monopoly—occupied the House during two mortal hours in the utterance of an harangue perfectly commensurate with the shallowness of his cause. About the most tangible argument upon which these disputants, laid especial stress was, the malific consequences to our colonial possessions, which must result from such a reduction of duties upon the importation of timber, and also upon the direct manner in which it would deteriorate our shipping trade gene rally. For evidence (?) of the reality of those gloomy ex pectations, a few garbled quotations from statistical tablss and a swarm of lugubrious forebodings were produced ; and in this is concentrated the whole cause, force, and bearing of that long-winded opposition of Friday night ; than which, altogether, nothing could he more useless, more incorrigible, or more thoroughly contemptible in ,very conceivable respect.

National Provincial of England 35 351/4 MINES. "The representation of Robert le Diable last night was attended with more agitation than that of Don Sebastien on Friday. Sunday is the day most favourable to demonstra bons of this kind. After the second act the cries reached their loudest point, and the performance could proceed no further. Attempts were made to sing the Marseillaise, -the Parisienne—and then Malbrottek, La Bouangere, and we know not what other songs of a character not very pa triotic. It was again necessary to clear the house, and we saw with deep sorrow those deplorable scenes, supported by people who, under pretence of 'sympathy in favour of Poland,' injure that cause and the sympathies which might be raised for it. Several police agents were ill-treated and wounded. A sergent de ville being alone in the pit, was seized by the rioters, thrown down under the benches, and trampled on and kicked in such a manner, as to cause fears to be entertained of his recovery. After the house was cleared, the disturbance was renewed on the Place du Capi tote. A display of military force was made, in order to deter the mob from any acts of violence; but an inspector of police having received a severe wound in the head from a stone, the legal warning was given, and the Place was cleared by the military, and strong picquets were placed at the entrance of the streets leading to it. Patrols at the nine time paraded through the town. At one o'clock everything was quiet. About 40 individuals have been arrested The commanding officer of the district, the prefect of the department, and tis sub-prefects, were at the theatre." The National and Reforme contain long lists of sub scriptions in favour of the Poles. The total amount, reckoning the eellections made in different parts of France, on Wednesday morning exceeded 100,000 f. (25,0000 . The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following letter, ad ilreseed by Prince Metternich to the dif f erent Courts of Ger many. ft is dated the 7th inst.:- " The news of the occupation of Cracow by our troops and those of Russia, and the happy termination of tke insurrec • tion in every part of the republic, have been announced by the Vienna journals. If we cast a glance at the events which in the space of a few days produced convulsions and a calamity beyond description, we know not whether we ought to be most astonished at the degradation of those who conceived this audacious madness, or at the conduct of those who, miscalculating the means at their disposal, attempted to execute it, and who have become victims of an enterprise which could not succeed. Without doubt the plot had been cleverly concerted. A vast conspiracy, spreading over the Austrian and Prussian portions of Poland, was conceived, and the free territory of Cracow served as a kind of depot for the use of the conspirators. Numerous emissaries, sent out by the leaders, covered the country, and their seductions and insinuations found favour with the country gentlemen and their dependents, who were in greater number in the provinces of ancient Poland than elsewhere. In the territory of Cracow, defective administrative institutions, and a social condition disorganized in every respect fa voured those efforts. Communist doctrines were ac tively disseminated in all directions amongst the people, and the heads of the movement, who certainly cared very little about such doctrines, as far as they were personally concerned, indulged in the senseless hope that the agreeable prospect of freeing the peasants from the payment of taxes would decide the masses to serve as their instruments in carrying out their plans; and yet they also fancied that when the Governments had been overturned, and that the Utopia of the Polish kingdom had been established, they should be able to drive back the irritated waves into such a channel as might appear most favourable to their designs. But it was particularly in Gallicia that it might be clearly seen, that such projects were void of common sense and inexecutable. That country has been fur 83 years um:et the sovereignty of Austria, and when it came into the hands of Austria was in a miserab'e state of political organization. Our Austrian laws, and particularly our good institutions, have been introduced into Gallicia. The effect of those in stitutions has been appreciated by the people of the country and by the mass of the population, who have now compre hended that it is the throne which protects them, as well as all their ex:etence. This is precisely what the Polish emi grants who caused the movement have misunderstood and forgotten. They expected to find the people of the same feeling as themselves, but they were completely mistaken. The peasantry of Gallicia do not understand cotnmunist plireses, and the Polish system is odious to them, because they well remember the misery which has resulted from it. The great majority of the preachers of liberty are with them the oppressors of their peasantry. When the nobles provoked the peasants to revolt, and the insurgents, assembled in great numbers in certain places, wished to compel the peasants by bad treatment to take part in the revolt, the movement which they wished to foment turned against the instigators themselves. Many of the latter fell victims to the rage of the people, and the others were de livered up to the authorities. All is now quiet and orderly in Gallicia, and the movement no longer merits the name of revolution, but of counter-revolution, the flame of revolt being extinguished in Cracow, and the revolutionists of Gallicia, whose projects have been rendered abortive, are in capable of any longer disturbing the peace of the country. After such shocks time must be required to restore moral calmness to men's minds. The Government is turning its attention to this task, and will proceed in it with the greater success as it is encouraged by the broad basis on which the Government of Gallicia is founded to believe in the faithful attachment to the generality of the population.

How are we to , leduce., our primary inferences upon the question one way or the other ? In which direction must we look for our first answer ? Surely to those individuals whose interests are one and indivisible with the interests of our colonial territories (Canada for instance), and our shipping trade ; or to those whose fortunes fluctuate in a lesser degree to the fluctuations of either of such im portant funds. And how, forsooth, have those persons acted with reference to the resolution embodying a re- due tion of the timber duties ? By not making any de monstration worthy of a moment's notice against a matter so materially connected with their pockets ! Surely that silent acquiescence upon the proposed inno vation of Sir R. PEEL iS sufficiently significant, and is more worthy of consideration than the idle and pecu liarly personal manifesto of men merely striving to retard the progress of an entire system, by seizing hold of any and every clause ! In reference to this circumstance Mr. CARDWELL spoke judiciously and feel ingly. He controverted the fallacies about the injuries which would be entailed upon our colonies in a few .imp ' s, but irrefragable facts ; he proved by the plainest possible arithmetic, that far from the interest of Canada being tamuerecl with, by the proposed alteration, that cent - , try would, on the contrary, be materially bene fl'ed, adducing, in corroboration of ea° statement, the gradual but glaring increase in the amount of the timber trade subsequent to the discarding of the old duty in 1842. The progressive improvement is too striking to be omitted :—ln 1843, it amounted to 45,0001. ; in 1844, to 71,000/. ; in 1545, to 94,0001. Of the good which has resulted to the shipping trade also from the reductions in the last tariff, the calculation of that interest in Liverpool is remarkable evi dence enough. For 1838, the number of vessels entered in that port were 305, the aggregate amount of whose ton nage was 160,000; in 1842, (the transition year, be it ob served!) the numberof vessels was 165, the tonnage of which was 90,000 ; while in 1845, the number of vessels had actually increased to 423, with a tonnage of 239,000. One more transcript from the table of returns, and our employment of Arabic numericals shall terminate for the present ; and this conclusive quotation is no less than an estimate of the exports of Canadian timber pre cedent and subsequent to the reduction already made in that article. In 1833, 15,000,000 loads of timber were exported ; in 1842 (the transition again !), merely 9 ; 000,000 ; whereas in 1845 there was an exportation of 28,000,000. After glancing over these incontestible facts, it is really beyond all Christian endurance to hear the flimsy prating of Lord GEORGE BENTINCIE, and his irrelevant and haekneyed allusions to" letting loose the hell dogs of war," and "clouds in the west," and "re posing on our laurels." It is provocative of more than impatience, it rouses up the indignation of every unbiassed thinker, to behold those who might be endowing their countrymen with blessings, persisting, with a sullen and stolid blindness, in the pro crastination of an issue which they must know to be in evitable ; allowing stagnation to fall upon commerce ; disease and privation to accumulate in :the sister island ; and themselves to become, not merely an isolated, but a repudiated faction in their native land. As if to enforce this conviction upon them, by showing them beyond all gainsaying their utter impotence, the majorities by which their amendments are severally quashed are becoming really s somethin g t oo l u di crous l y di spro p ort i one d f or a sober er perusal. Let us hope that this weapon of division will goad them at length into silence. Real del Monte, Unregistered •• •• • 3% ...... ... RAILWAY SII ‘11.13 MARKETS MANCIIESTER, Neuca 20.

Ills main object is to establish a tariff of rates by which a system of low fares may be preserved ; and his secondary purpose is to intro d.ice into this country the plan, well known on the continent, of giv ing the companies a mere temporary interest in their line. The Go vernment is decidedly in favour of Mr. Morrison, though from Slr R.

HAIIIBUiIGII MAIL. CRACOW', 'MARCH 9.—Perfect tranquillity—that is, what is calkd tranquillity—now prevails in our city. All possible mea , ures are taken, on the part of the Allied Powers, to re prrvs any idea of resistance to their ordinances. In the city country detachments of military go about and take away what arms they rind. The clergy are deeply implicated in all the , e affairs. This evening seven waggons, with priso ners, were brought in under a military escort. In the city itself, 172 persons were to-day designated as to be arrested. On the whole 150 have been hitherto arrested. Nepotia tior.s respecting Cracow are going on very actively. Co lonel Van Hobe, of the 10th Regiment, is appointed Com . missioner on the part of Russia. Many Polish women, whose husbands have been killed, or have fled, are gone out of their minds.—Silesian Gazette. CRACOW, MARCH IL—The city is for an indefinite time in a state of siege. The Senate is dissolved, and a ccuncil of administration appointed instead; which, however, chiefly consists of the members of the Senate. Carriages with prisoners are brought in early; the prisoners think them selves fortunate when the escort is composed of Prussians, by whom they are well treated. The Russians and Austrians are more disliked. Business is at a a stand still, and every thing is very dear. The insurrection of the peasants in Gallicia is said to be spreading. Troops continue to be sent from this city to that country. Travellers affirm that some parts of the province are like a desert; from the frontiers of Cracow to Lemburgh scarcely a nobleman's residence has been spared.—Bremen Gazette. WARSAW, MARCH 11.—The Warsaw Courier of to-day says, "public tranquillity has not been interrupted in the slightest degree, and the accounts from the provinces stater, that they. too, enjoy undisturbed tranquillity." Datil" Mancit 11.—It is said that remonstrances have been made by the Austian Legation on account of the state ment lately published in the Univ: rsal Russian Gazette that Austrian magistrates in the Polish provinces had induced the peasants, by rewards in money, to take prisoners, or to kill the Polish landowners. People here wondered at the very first how the generally cautious editors of the Universal Prussian Gazette could admit such accounts into its columns. The Universal Prussian Gazette has, we know, published such accounts. VIENNA.—His Highness Prince Metternich had addressed the following circular, dated the 7th of March, to the re presentatives of Austria at the several German Courts. "The latest Vienna journals bring the account of the occu pation ofCracow by our and the Imperial Russian troops, and of the ignominous end of the insurrection in all parts of the republic. If we look back on the events which have been crowded together in the short space of a few days, causing extensive convulsions, and occasioning unspeakable calamities we know not whether to be most astounded at the wicked ness of those who formed the plan, or at the foolhardiness of those who executed it, in total ignorance of the amount of means that they could command, and voluntarily made themselves the victims of hopeless undertakings. The preliminaries of the project were certainly ably contrived. ea. esasseles conspiracy spread over the Austrian and Rus sian frontier of ancient Poland was formed, and the republic of Cracow was chosen as a staple place ac the command of the Revolution. Numberless emissaries, sent out by the chiefs of the emigration, who remained in safety, covered these countries, and their insinuations and seductions were listened to by these countrymen, these officers and clients, who are more.humerous in the former Polish countries than elsewhere... In the territory of Cracow defective adminis nisitatiOnss, and an unsettled agitated state of society, in crsised the success of their endeavours. Communist doctrines were propagalkl among the people with indefatigabl e activity and in every direction ; and the leaders of the movement (who certainly cared little for their own persons about the application of the communist doctrines) indulged the absurd hope of making the masses ready instruments of their revolutionary plan, by holding out the prospect of freeing the peasant from taxes and contributions, the Government should be overthrown, and the utophia of a Polish kingdom should he realised—fancied they should be able to lead the raging waves into the channel which should appear to them the most convenient. But the insanity and utter worth lessness of such plots appeared in the cleare.4 light in Ga lacia. This country has been for nearly eighty years under the Austrian Government, and at the time when it became subject to Austria was in the most wretched old Polish condition. The Austrian laws, especially our admirable Urharial, were introduced there. Their efforts are manifest. They have inspired the peasantry, the mass of the popula tion with the feeling that the Throne is the power which is the protection of their whole existence. This is what the leading Polish emigrants have overlooked and forgotten— they ascribed their own spirit to the population, in which they were happily mistaken—the Galician peasant cannot understand communist phrases, and Polish nation ality is odious to him, because it reminds him of his misery. The majority of the preachers at home, and among these peasantry, are their oppressors. When they called en them to rise—when the in surgents, in places where they had assembled in great nom hers, attempted to compel the peasantsby violence—the move ment they thought to excite turned upon the instigators themselves, many of whom fell victims to the anger of the people, and the others were given up by the peasants to their natural protectors, the authorities of this province. The movement is now subsiding in all Galicia, which cer tainly cannot be called a revolution, but rather an anti-revo lution. Now that the focus of the revolution in Cracow— where, though no where else, it certainly had the upper hand—is quenched, and the mass of the insurgents in Galicia, where they have failed in their attempts, is put down, it is not probable that the public tranquillity will be further disturbed. It is evident, that after such con vulsions, moral tranquillity cannot be so soon restored to people's minds, and that the task of the Government is not easy. It, however, directs its first attention to this object, and has the more confidence of success as it rests on the broad basis of the Government at Galicia, viz., the faithful attachment of the sound part of the population. I wish you to make use of the present dispatch, in communication with the cabinet, which we decree to make you acquainted with the real state of affairs, and as accurately as possible.—Vienna, 7th March." • COPENHAGEN, 18th March.—Some Members of the Fadre lan and of the Copenhagen Post, have been seized for in serting the Polish lnsurrection,which unprivileged papers are net allowed to do, though it has often happcned.--T-Hamburg Palters, 17th March. THE POTATO DISEASE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—As I know that my authority has been exten sively circulated in favour of quick lime as a protection against the consequences of the disease which has pre vailed in the potato crop, and I heard yesterday from the Duke of Rutland that his experiments have not been equally successful, I feel it a duty to society to prevent persons from being misled by the general terms in which I have circulated the result of the experiments conducted here. _ _ _ . It is quite true that the lime used here has been in variably successful. But it is the magnesian lime, which abounds in this neighbourhood. In its caustic state it is fatal to vegetation. Barren spots are to be seen in many places on the forest, where lime heaps were placed more than thirty years ago. It is, therefore, easy to account for the effect of this limo in stopping the propagation of this direate. The lime used by the Duke of Rutland I understand to have been the crich lime, which is very pure lime, and has no such destructive qualities. It iQ, therefore, only necessary to state the distinction to account for the difference ; charcoal is quite as effec tual as the magnesian lime. (Sig,, ed) Welheck, March 18. 1846. SCOTT PORTLAND.

THE LABOURERS AND THE POTATO CROP.—Mr Robert Baker, of Writtle, has issued an address to the labourers and others who hold gardens or allotments, strongly advising them not to plant more than half their ground with potatoes, and to devote the other half to early frame peas, to be harvested for winter use, to be fol lowed by cattle cabbage, thousand heads, savoys, or turnips; or to cultivate it with parsnips, carrots, or beans. Should the disease then carry off what has usually formed so important a part of their winter store, they will have other supplies to fall back upon ; andsh *?1 Providence in its mercy this year turn the blight from their potato grounds, they will be none the worse for lirving variety in their stock of winter food. Mr. Baker not only gives advice, but practical aid, by offerirg to supply the poor with cab bage seeds gratis, and peas at the cost price. We strongly recommend this plan to the farmers and gentry in different parts of the country, as the following it out in their own neighbourhoods will avert the misery and distress which may otherwise prerail around Omni.

IMPORTANT RAILWAY MOVEMENT IN SCOTLAND. An important movement is now being made, origi nated by the members of the Stock Exchange in Glasgow, for the purpose of putting a stop to the great majority— upwards of thirty—of the Scottish Railway schemes now before Parliament. The nature of the movement is thus described in the Scottish journals : " At a meeting of the scripholders representing a large amount of scrip in the numerous Scottish railway com panies, called into existence by the recent mania, it was considered prudent and advisable, under the altered cir cumstances of the country, to adopt measures to put a stop to further expensive proceedings going on in Lan don, and to have many of the schemes, which do not ap pear to be at present required, wound up. From the un saleable state of the various scrips, and the already em barrassed condition of the money market, as well as the unfortunate position in which the country would be placed from the extreme difficulty, if net inability, to meet the unprecedented demand for capital which would immediately and necessarily arise were any considerable number of the numerous new schemes now before Par liament to obtain Acts, it must be apparent that the steps proposed to be taken will not only be attended with the greatest advantage to all concerned, but to Scotland generally. " Those who approve of such a course are requested immediately to call at N 0.45, George-street, Edinburgh, where they will find petitionsfor signature to the various committees of the railways which it is proposed should be wound up. For similar purposes in Glasgow—at the writing chambers of William Steele, jun., 6, South Hanover-street. "N.B. Parties residing et a distance may concur in the above measures by forwarding to either of the places above mentioned an authority in the following or similar terms : "Sir,—Please subscribe on my behalf, as a holder of shares of the stock of -- Railway, a requisition to the directors for winding up the Company.

THE THEATRES. HAYMARKET. A new five-act comedy, from the pen of Mr. Sullivan, (who is already favourably known to the public as a dramatic author) was produced here on Saturday even ing. It is entitled The Beggar on Horseback, and it met with great and well-deserved success. It is a comedy of manners of the present day, and is an exceedingly well built play, and it would b: well that all dramatists should ar in mind that the artistical construction cf the plot of a five act play is an element that conduces more to its :success as an acting play, than either smartness of dialogue or variety of incident, or even individuality of character ; not, however, that The Beggar on Horseback is d ficient in any of these. The dialogue is uniformly smart and well written, and without being forced or strained, is not unfrequently witty. I:he incidents are welt contrived and sufficiently numerous, and the characters of Cymon Foxhall, Morecraft, and Lady Coverdale, are all distinct, and well developed in dividualities. At e.he commencement of the comedy, we are introduced to Sir John Coverdale (Mr. Tilbury), a baronet, proud of his ancient pedigree, but deeply in debt—with his estates mortgaged to an old usurer for their full value. By a former marriage he has had a son, Eeriest, (Mr. 11. loll), and a daughter, Selina, (Miss Julia Bennett) ; and the present Lady Coverdale, (Mrs. Glover), rules him and his household not by violence of manner or of language, but by perpetually offering them consolation under any distresses which may chance to befall then ; such consolation consisting of the most ill-natured sarcasm spoke in the most honied tones. The lady sees no way out of their difficulties save by seeking some rich plebian alliance for their children. To this the proud baronet decidedly objects, and the lady tells him that there is ene consolation,they can break up their establishment, advertise for a situation fer Selina, and procure Ernest an ensigney in a marching regiment. This dialogue is interrupted by the appearance of Ernest, who informs them that, owing to the death, without S will, of the rid usurer, to whom their estates are mort gaged, Cymon Foxball, his nephew, whom they recollect as a vulgar lout, has become his heir, and has arrived in London to take possession of his inheritance. Lady Coverdale immediately commences plotting to secure Cymon Foxhall fur Selina, and, observing that it would be well to be civil to the young man, and ire what he is like, dispatches Ernest to call upon him. The scene then changes to Foxhall's house, and we are introduced to Cymon Foxhall (Mr. Webster), and his man of business, Morecraft (Mr. W. Farren). Cymon Foxhall had been by his late uncle placed in a Manchester-house in the city, but he had turned out a low lived blackguard, a frequenter of low taverns and low gambling-houses, a mean-spirited, hypocritical profligate, in one word— a " swell." In his uncle's house was residing an orphan girl, Emmeline (Mrs. Seymour), whom that uncle had adopted, and to whom it was supposed by every one that the uncle would have left his property. The affections of this girl, with these expectancies, Cymon Foxhall had sought and won ; and albeit his wide had discarded him, and for four years Cymon Foxhall had been living a disrepwable outcast at Boulogne, still her affection for him continued unabated. Previously to his departure for Boulogne he had managed to intro duce into his uncle's establishment a crony of his own, named Morecraft, a broken -down marker at a billiard table, giving him special injunctions to use every means in his power to prevent the old usurer from making a will ; and well had those injunctions been obeyed, for we find Cyrnon in the usurer's house, the undoubted pos sessor of all his wealth. Admirably did Webster dress and play this character. Dressed in a suit of mourning that might have been made by Stultz himself, he managed, by his method of wearing it, to make it appear ill-fit ing and vulgar. his hat was of the most un exceptionable pattern, but he stuck it on his head with that knowing " jut" on one side, which is one o f the characteristics of the " gent," as eontradistinguished from the gentleman. He carried in his hand a cane , the but-end of which he ever and anon struck aga inst the booted part of his right leg, and he pulled up his collar, and pulled down his waistcoat, and in e thousand ways showed, that notwithstanding his insolent swagger, and his boastful pride of purse, he was ill at ease, because he was con' scions that he had not in his whole composition one atom, the raw material out of which it would be possible to manufacture a gentleman. In this, their first inter view, dorecraft details to him the schemes by whic h he had been enabled to prevent his uncle from m aking a will, and Cymon gives Morecraft to understand tha now their relative ptaitions are altered. Morecraft how' ever takes the announcement very coolly, and remind Cymen that he cannot do without him. Cymon then hints at his desire to form a matrimonial alliance with some high family, and Morecraft reminds him of Emme line. Cymon expresses a wish to see her, and Morecraft sends her to him and leaves them alone. She, all affection, rushes into his a rms( He receives her coldly, in a half-swaggering half sneaking sort of manner, and, in reply to be t questions, he says he loves her, and she shall have house, a carriage, and money, and be just the same a , if she were his wife, but that he must marry for rank . ; She rejects his insulting offers with indignation, a n d determines to leave the house instantly. This scene we e acted by Mrs. Seymour with very great spirit. As she quits him, he hears of his invitation to the Coverdalest and after a short scene between Morecraft and Ensme" line, we find Cymon, with Sir John and Lady Cove t : dale, making a regular contract of bargain and sale for I , the hand of Selina, he having been brought to this pee! very soon by the art of Lady Coverdale. At first the Baronet seems disinclined to the sacrifice, but when Cymon talks of foreclosing the mortgage, he consents ; and on Sellers entering, she is introduced to him, and they are left alone. Cymon at once breaks what he calls the goo d news to her, and is astounded at her not at once a ccept" ing him. To her cousin, Horace Waldegrave (ft', Hudson) she confides her troubles. The two cousins, 0_1; course, discover that they have long loved each ot her ' and determine to take Ernest into their confide ncer. Ernest himself is desperately in love with a young crests ture whom he bad met in the Park, but of when:o_7. knows nothing, teed to the Park Horace, Ernest, and . e s. line proceed.. Thege Ernest beholds his fair incogn i t a ' who seeks to avoid him. Selina, however, accos ts her. It is Emmeline. The ladies retire togethFss and Cy monFoxhall, who is in pursuit of Emmeline, jon_!, the gentlemen. They threaten him with direful r sf sequences if he does not at once resign the hand:, Selina, but to all their threats and taunts his on l y ply is, " Pay me my mortgage." Selina now joins. x t e n, party ; she has heard from Emmeline her story, an d At p ises the heartless hypocrite in his true colours. old first he attempts to make his habitual swagger te more insolent, but as Selina proceeds all his imp ion' deserts him, and the mean-spirited coward stands 011 d fessed. He imagines that Morecraft must have bet ra y,® him, and, vowing vengeance against Morecrall, meats eff. Before he takes his departure, how® his he turns round and snaps his finger in the es ° l t o tormentors, significantly reminding them the affair line be eff if they will pay him his mortgage. Bon ne s ft, comes from her place of concealment, and M° te ch who is in pursuit of her, enters. Finding her in, t he good hands lie leaves her under the protection °f tha t young people, very mysteriously reminding then:lei:oa when affairs oecome too complicated for their go" or he will render them assistsnce. On his return t° . se s mom's, that worthy directs his footman, T h° , s lf (admirably acted by Mr. Brindal), to surnn i s s e i l sg ejecr, Morecrafa Just as the operation i 4 , " 0 ,0 penormed, ueder the personal inspection of hi s himself, Horace enters, and takes Morecraft service—Morecraft and Cyrnon having each preitil. e ss for once in their lives, told the truth, in the char s . fi b c which they respectively give of each other. The ee act opens at the office of Cymon's lawyer, and there is of find Sir John and Cymon, aided by the lawyer , h' iog e er gaeed in drawing up the settlements for the m a ; re of Selina. Ernest and Horace join the party, and ; a re craft also quietly walks in and tells them they may' s po i themselves all further trouble, for that Cymon 1 . . 0 0 worth sixpence, producing at the same time a do ee for signed by Cymon's uncle, in which he slates that Bw_ st if line is his own legitimate child, and, conseslii"sas the heiress to all his wealth.

At this 02°_ t w i be the other parties enter and Morecraft explains tu s z`bere, old usurer, knowing the affection which Ensmelieffly to Cymon, and being fully convinced of the till a _ l oott the latter, had confided to him the important docirStlsoe with a strict injunction not to produce it until `fi' i s be should have shown himself in his true colours, adds that he had behaved faithfully to the usur e d e s'r, cause he was the only man in the world, who li cke t? loekei upon him without one eye "in his own r ina eset Emmeline, the heiress, forgives Sir John his mor is ss o o • makes a handsome settlement on Horace and Selint'4'orit vides for Morecraft, and gives herself and her f.°, l* nt the d Ernest.
