SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The friends of Sir Francis Burdett allege that he knew the late Royal stud was not the property of the Queen, but that his object in addressing a letter to Lord Melbourne was to elicit a public disclosure of the facts of the case ; in short, that, under the mask of attacking a living Queen, whom he knew to be inna 7 cent, he was seeking to cast obloquy on a dead King. The Spectator of Sunday last, we presume, therefore; only fulfils the expectations of the Hon. Baronet when it declares that it is— " Absurd to blame the Queen, or Lord Melbourne, for selling the stud. Neither will any rational person blame the Fitzclarences. They cannot be expected to keep up tee establishment at Hampton Court. They want money, edhave taken the right way to get as much of it as they ean for the horses. But it was a shabby proceeding of William IV. to alienate the Royal stud from the Crown. Although the law recognised his right to consider it as per sonal property, it was always looked upon as an appendage to the Crown. The beautiful Arabians given to the late King by the Imaum of Muscat were intended as presents to the Sovereign of England, just as much as the - ship of war, which is now counted in the navy as national property. Yet these Arabians are _among the lot to be sold. Wil liam IV., indeed, was not punctilious in his mode of raising cash. It is not generally known, but it is a fact, that most of the splendid snuff-boxes presented to our last two Kings were sold or pledged by William to Rundle and Bridge, at whose shop they may now be seen. There are few private persons who, though in very needy , circumstances, would have resorted to such means of pro curing money ; and it is not unusual, even in cases of bank ruptcy, to abstain from seizing and selling articles which are held to be in some sort sacred. But the late Sovereign of England had no such delicacy of feeling, and we are not surprised that he should have left the Royal stud to his illegitimate offspring." After all, we are not satisfied that the friends of Sir Francis Burdett, in their anxiety to prove that he is not the ignorant fool which his letter to Lord Mel bourne would prove him to be, have acted kindly to wards the Hon. Baronet. Great allowance is to be mode for the late King, who was burdened with a large fem4v, and who was a kind and affectionate parent. We are not disposed to say, that, under all the circum stances of the case, it would not have had a better apeenrance if William the Fourth had followed the example of his predecessor, and viewed the stud as belonging to the Crown rather than to the occupier of it for the time. But was it for s:r Francis Burdett, 1%1,6 often enjoyed the hospitalities of William the Fourth, to uncover his nakedness in this shabby way ? Wallowing in wealth as he does, he might have made some allowance for the necessities of an affectionate parent with claims on him which he had great difficulty to meeting. Sir Francis is no doubt safe from the in dignation of a dead King, but he might have retnem tiered that he had frequently ate salt with him.— Morning' Chronicle. The prospect of a liberal subscription by the Con servatives for restoring constitutional Irish candidates to the seats from which they were ousted at. the last election by perjury, forgery, and every description of fraud, has reduced the Slmistcts and their partisans to a state of mind which it would he almost inhuman not to pity - . There is no limit to their violence, nor self m •ree in their malice. Seine of their papers will have it that the subscription fund is .designed to drive the people , "—otherwise the priests, the association, and their followers—into open rebellio. Very well : it in no manner disturbs us to hear or traitors ripening into open rebels. We may hear. of it, but while treason is under its present tuition, such a development is one which we shall hardly have the luck to see. The grub condition - is snler than that of the butterfly, quoth our agitator. Rebellion must lie near the sur 'see, if a simple effort to vindicate the purity of elec tion suffice to dtaw it into daylight. Nevertilekss, the purity of election shall be vindicated, at whatever risk, at whatever cost. The loyal constituencies of Ireland must not be cheated of their rightful re presentatives with impunity, nor Bills abhorrent at once to the national spirit and to the genius of tier Constitution be smuggled up to the bar of the House of Lords by a majority composed of men who are not representatives of the people. When news papers in the pay of the Popish conspirators presume to taunt us with the " criminality" of a subscription for Riving effect to the Grenville Act, by working out an election case before a Parliamentary Committee, they go far towards a confession that they have no case whereon to stand. Why do not the O'Connell-Mel bournites threaten us with petitions in their turn ? They are at liberty to do so, or, without any other than such formal notice as the law requires, they have full license from the Conservatives to present to the House of Commons as many petitions as they like. We chal lenge them to it. We pray them to raise the largest sums that they can borrow, beg, or steal, and lay them together in a single heap for a subscription fund where with to carry on a war of petitions. They Alail hear from us or from other Conservatives no yell—no, nor a whisper of complaint. And why ? 1. Because we have no fears for the consequences ; we fear not a " report" that the opposition of the Conservative member to the Radical petition has been " frivolous and vexatious," any more than in the case of our own friends appealing to a similar tribunal have we any qualms about the probability of such a report against the merits of the Conservative pe tition. Nobody exclaimed against subscriptions for the lawful expenses of anticipated contests, which sub scriptions were universal over both islands at this last election. When, therefore, it was discovered that, by force or fraud, by intimidation, corruption, or fabri cated votes, the endeavours made on the part of either side to support their candidates through any given struggle had been defeated, could a charge of unfair or unconstitutional conduct, much less one of illegal " conspiracy," be reasonably brought against electors, candidates, or their political friends, for adopting the alternative which the law allows them, and seeking, through a bona fide exercise of the right of petition, redress for that wrong which a perverted and dis honest exercise of the right of election had inflicted on them ? A subscription for the lawful costs of an election having failed of its object, namely, the return of the candidate to the House of Commons, nothing can be more upright, honourable, or expe dient—nay, more a matter of positive duty, on the part of those who feel that they have been defeated by foul practices, than to raise a petition fund supplementary to the election fund, for the sake of remedying by lawful means the injustice which lawful means unhap pily did not succeed in preventing. And let it be remembered that a petition fund cannot be misrepresented, though many an honest election fund has been so, as the creation of an exchequer for purposes of bribery and corruption ; voters may be bribed, but (ill as such tribunals stand in point of reputation) it will hardly be said that subscriptions by or for petitioners are intended to bribe the mem bers of an election committee. We call upon the friends of the monarchy, therefore, in every part of the United Kingdom, to come down with their con tributions freely and earnestly for this great and es sential end. The object is of an importance para mount to that of almost any other object. It is to relieve the people of England from a packed, fraudu lent, and rotten majority of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's journeymen agitators—not one of whom, we verily believe, has a right to show his face within the House of Commons otherwise than by an order for the strangers' gallery. It is to take away from this same Daniel O'Connell the power of forcing upon a weak and abject Ministry measures the most tyrannical and disgusting to every Englishman who knows what civil liberty means, or who recollects the lessons of his childhood ; it is, in fact, to decide whether Protestant Britain shall legislate for herself, or whether the refuse of Ireland shall legis late against her, and in spite of her. We say, there fore, and are justified in saying, that this proposed subscription is for a purpose nothinc , less than sacred. From the communications which have been made to us, we are persuaded that no Ministers ever met a Parliament who stood, as regarded a numerous body of their partisans, in a position so precarious and unten able. We are sure that if the well-founded petitions be prosecuted (and to none others will any honest man wish success), the Ministers will be left in an abso lute minority ; for never since the world began were ih!vives so utterly profligate and nefarious put in prac ti,c tO obtain the proper officer's return, as on this oceasioe, by the self-called " liberal" supporters of a• • Reform Ministry." It is necessary, therefore, that an e-ffective organization should take place forthwith, and produced throughout aii sufficientthe for the kingdom. en, c . that in every town, even the smallest, committees of management and correspondence should be instantly • formed—that treasurers, generally speaking bankers, should be named to receive the contributions of all hearty well-wishers to our monarchy, civil and religious. It is necessary that applications should be made to every man or family in every direction, from the highest to the lowest, supposed to be attached to our national in stitutions, and to regard their overthrow as the greatest of public calamities, soliciting from such persons the most moderate sums, that an aggregate may be contemplated, necessar yplated,• and ' powerful as a distinct evidence of the vast numbers ' of Englishmen on whom their country in the - time of ! need may reckon. A central association already eon -7 stituted in London, will form a fit rallying point for the provincial and district committees ; and we pray that neither central nor affiliated body may lose one hour in buckling to their work. A tremendous knavery, a wholesale robbery of seats in Parliament, has been put into action against the people of Eng land ; will our countrymen right themselves—or NOT? The method we propose, and that alone, is practicable ; all else is imbecile childishness and folly.—Times. A Conservative guzzle took place at Forres a few days since, under very amusing circumstances. The handful of Tories. who vegetate in that pleasant little town, feeling that they must for decency's sake, if from no higher consideration, give what is called a " public feed " to Mr. Mackenzie, their rejected Candidate at the late election, resolved on clubbing their half guineas together, for that purpose. But no sooner had this determination been come to, than it occurred to some of the more shrewd of the party that the same consideration which prompted the dinner to Mackenzie, demanded a similar demonstration of re spect in the case of Major Cumming Bruce. The latter gentleman, it may be necessary to state, for the information of those unacquainted with the fact, was the Member for Forres, which is part of the Inverness I district of burghs, in the last Parliament ; but fore seeing that his dismissal at the late election was just as certain as that the day of that election would arrive, he had the good sense to anticipate his fate by resign • ing. Between the two gentlemen—their ex-Mem . ber, and their rejected Candidate—the Tories of Forres were placed in an unpleasant dilemma. To " feed" Mr. Mackenzie, while not a morsel was given to Major Cumming Bruce, would have been to give mor tal offence to the latter gentleman. And yet the idea of giving each a guzzle separately was altogether out of the question. The pockets of the Conservative Forresians rebelled against the bare idea. What, then, was to he done ? " Kill two dogs with one stone ; feed them both at once," was the happy answer to the question. And, verily, the Tories of Forres, in the true spirit of men of business, did dine their ex-re presentative and his woulA-be successor. There sat the virtually dismissed, and: the absolutely rejected, an edifying example of brothers in adversity. What a subject would it have been for the graphic pencil of H. 13., had lie been present! Mr. Mackenzie's con duct on the occasion was candid in the extreme. lie showed by his expressive .silence how deeply he felt mortified at the result of tile election. Major Cum ming, on the other hand, put the best face he could on the matter ; taking, as his appropriate mo del, the school-boy in Blair's poem of " The Grave," who, in passing ihrough the churchyard at night, " whistled to keep his courage up," the gallant Niajor endeavoured to disguise his - mortification at hav ing dwindled down from the status of Member for For res to an humble elector for /hat burgh, by aff:cting to he very facetious. The Major's wit was always more remarkable for its specific i : , 4ravity than for any other quality that could be rnLmed. Oo this occasion -it seemed to be unusually heavy. • Having in the• first instance sought to gull hislrearers—and for audit we know he may have succeeded in the attempt—by a piece of as pure invention -.au ever emanated from any of die " creative" school, .3.ouching, a pretended in timation given by the Queen to Lord Melbourne, that she wished to have the Duke of Wellington for her Prime Minister—having done this, the ex-Member for that district of burghs proceeded to be, fi s he thought, very severe and witty at Lord Melbourne's expense, by asking his audience to fancy in their own minds what roust have been the to ngitude of his Lordship's face when this intimation was given him. It is strange that those who live in houses of glass are always most partial to throwing stones. Major Cumming's own visage is, without exception., the longest we have ever seen. It is so at any time ; -what its lineal dimensions may have been on this occasion we will not undertake to say ; but for this fact we will vouch, that under no conceivable circumstances, not even that of the Tories being in Downing-street to.-morrow, could Lord Mel bourne's face be stretched 'au t to half the length of that of the ex-Member for Fo , rp!s, when thus bidding a formal farewell to all his h:gislative greatness. Major Cumming, on this occas torn, delivered himself of a speech, the length of whioh was in edifyin g keeping with the longitude of his physi ognom y. It fills three columns of the county paper:—and to show the vast importance which the orator' attached to it, we may mention that he has reported, it himself. The Major, true to his old habits as a speaker, made sad havoc with his metaphors. Poor innocents ! Were they vocal, in what bitter terms of7.reproach would they not complain of the way in which). the ex-Legislator mas sacred them I Of course the Major's standard simile of the " Sintoom, the fatal breath of the desert," was not forgotten on the occasion; nor did he omit to lug into his oration the never-failing allusion to " the fumes of the Reform debauch." In short, we trace in this harangue the materials— though hashed up anew —out of which, in 1830 and 183,1, he manufactured all his violent philippics agains t the Ministry of Earl Grey. However, the Gallant Gentleman did his best to give the Tories of Forres a ;speech in return for the dinner they gave him ; and nu ire than a man's best cannot reasonably be required of him.—Morning Advertiser. Because the present Government is a beaten and helpless thing, but for the, Parliamentary support which it derives from Ireland, it is not generally ad , initted by the Ministerialists sib at the Irish population is less worthy, in any respect,. than the British. But there are some occasions on ev: hich the Ministerialists are earnest enough in their depreciation of the Irish. For instance, whenever it is .co nvenient to taunt the Tories with their misgoverns ent of Ireland—with what is called their " abuse of j )ower" during the long time that their political ascee fancy was decisive over all the empire—then the ignt trance, barbarism, and so forth of the Irish populatiot t are readily admitted. " It is so, indeed," say the PVI tnisterialists, " but the more shame for you Tories, «vb .o have allowed it to be so. Is this the wisdom of you: r government ? Is this your attention to the welfare of the people, that, after so many years of dfficial power„ and of unbounded in fluence in the Legislature, the Irish are in the be nighted and barbarous conditi or tin which we find them at this day ?" This is a charg, e a .gainst the Conservative party, from the examination .of which we shall not shrink ; but, before we proceed: t to our task, we beg to call the attention of our readers to. the inconsistency which these taunts involve. If To ry Government have left the Irish in this state of gross. barbarism it cannot be true that their support of the - present Administration is an " enlightened" support. It cannot be true that it is a support which ought t 0 be considered of equal moral force with the support vvl deli the English people give to the opponents of th a present Administration. If, on the other hand, the To ries have not left the Irish in ignorance and barbarism, what is to be said for the fairness or veracity of that pf trty which so often taunts them with having done so ? Leaving these matters to the Ministerial casuists to reconcile at their leisure, we proceed to the charge age tinst the Tories of having left the mass of the Irish peoi. tie in a state which makes them unsafe depositories of po lctical privileges. .In the first place, we admit that this is the case. Let the hlame rest where it may, we /do believe, and we art: prepared to•show the reason • of our belief, that the mass of the people in Leinster, r 4u nster, and Connaught, ought not to have the polit lea I privileges which are awarded to men upon the presfun iption that they will use them with intelligenc e and inte,,ur ity. It is a common thing for those who support the Mix sisters to say that this is insulting bigotry. They sa3 • that we have no right to throw any such slur upon I people because they hold religious opinions differer t from our own. We answer, that we do not throw- this slur upon the Irish people because their religion is different from ours, and that religious bigotry has nothing to do with the matter. Supposing an Irish Papist to be a candidate for a Professorship of Geometry, and that we declare such a person is utterly unfit for his post, is it to be set down all at once that we think his religion unfits him to expound the elements of Euclid ? Suppose we have good reason to believe that he does not know the difference between a triangle and a square, and that if he did he dare not say so, except in so far as he might be permitted by the directors of a certain rival institution—would not that be a very fair cause for declaring the unfitness of the candidate, and one which might be acted upon without being urged thereto 'by 'religious bigotry ? But, if our argument or our illustration be declared insufficient, we appeal to authority. Do not the Minis terialists say that the Tories have left the Irish people in a state of ignorance and barbarism, and is not that state a sufficient proof of unfitness for the exercise of important political privileges ? We can not anticipate any other than affirmative answers to these questions. But now comes the point : how are the Tories to be excused for the bad state in which Ireland is, notwithstanding the long period of their Government ? Without asserting the fact that they are wholly without blame in this matter—without maintaining that in the day of their power they did all which . they might have done for civilizing this still bar barous people—we can readily point out the tre mendous obstacle which stood in their way. It is that very obstacle which it would seem to be the business of the present Whig-Radical Government to strengthen and to perpetuate. The most at tentive and powerful Governments in a free country, such as ours, can do no more than propose and carry into effect general laws with regard to public matters. It has been said by a French writer that " on ne corrige pas les moeurs ou le Gou vernement avec de beaux discours, mais avec de bonnes lois." The man who made this observa tion was doubtless thinking of laws more prying in character, and more rigorous in their execution, than the liberty of our country will permit. The further that the character of Government is re moved from that of a great police office, the more difficult it is to correct the manners of the people by public laws. In most Continental States the Government is little else than the head police office of the country, and takes upon itself an authority of in terference which makes it justly responsible almost fcr the manners of the people. But it is not so with us — , .ve can only affect leading principles of public regu lation, and leave it to the good sense and intelligence of the people to erect upon this foundation a domestic superstructure of wholesome and humanizing rules. Ireland, however, it has always happened--we date our retrospect from the commencement of the reign of George the Third—that a power, which is in a great degree analogous to that of an organized police, but of an hundred-fold greater influence, has stood between the mass, of the people and its Government. The 'lowish Priesthood never would suifer any kind o! ho' to operate—any kind of instruction to reach the people—except through them. The constant lan guage of that Priesthood was—" We are under a heretic Government—we are in bondage—you are ignorant people : trUst to us." Let no one sup pose that we make this statement in the un guarded exaggeration of political zeal. We know the truth of what we say—the Romish Priesthood have been for the last seventy years a practical and most effective barrier between the people end that influence of British Government upon them which would otherwise, in all human probability, have ere .this elevated them to a far better condition than that in - which they now are. The relaxation of the penal laws did not induce the Romish Clergy to depart from their system of representing the laws of the country as de vices of the enemy. The giving of the elective fran chise to Roman Catholic freeholders did not furnish this inducement. The making of Roman Catholics eligible to sit in Parliament and enact laws for the whole empire was still insufficient. The Roman Ca tholic Priests were resolved to be, and they were with respect to the mass of the people, the Government. The laws, or the influence of the laws, did not reach the hearts or the understandings of the people, except as the Roman Catholic Priests chose to represent them. Now, at last, they admit that the Government of the empire is to be respected, but that is because they are the Government. By neither Tory nor Whig have any means yet been devised of getting the Go vernment of ' the great mass of the Irish people out of, the hands of the Romish Priests. The Tories struggled against this Government, but, whether they had the will or no, they had not the power to struggle with it upon the hearths and at the altars of the Irish people. These hearths have been disturbed, these altars have been profaned, by the incessant attention of the Irish Priest to his paramount influence. He knew that, with due attention on his part, these laws must, against his power, be vain— Quid leges, sins moribes Vance proficiunt ? He had enough of learning to know this question, and the answer to it, and he maintained his power. The Tories struggled against this, and in vain, so far as the improvement of the Irish people was concerned. The Whig-Radicals have succumbed to it, and, for the base consideration of being maintained in office, are opening the way to the erection of a similar system in Great Britain. May we hope that the pitch of auda city at which the Romanists have arrived will at last prove the desftuction of their political system ? May we hope that, the full attention of the British people being roused to the events now in process, some plan may be devised which will save Great Britain and at length really emancipate Ireland ?—Morning Post. But a small portion of the public are, we believe, aware of an abuse which has long existed, under the apparent sanction of an authority which ought long since to have inquired into and corrected it. We mean the presentments made by what is called the term grand jury, in Middlesex. Before this tribunal, which is em panelled every term in Westminster Hall, and charged by one of the judges, all constables, headboroughs, and other local peace-officers, are called upon to appear, and to present all nuisances and annoyances, and, among others, the names of all persons carrying on their trade on Sundays. These presentments of the constables, if we are rightly informed, are returned into the Crown office, from whence an intimation issues to the parties, demanding a certain amount of fees, on payment of which nothing more is heard of the matter. This, we ' have heard, is the general practice in such cases, and that, unless the matter be a decidedly public concern, or there is an ostensible prosecutor to carry it on, the presentments of the constables are seldom, if ever, pro ceeded in. The constables, who, like their betters, have frequently a species of vision which can discern only small offenders, have generally made their present ments of Sunday traders a source of great partiality and oppression —th e small huckster being generally singled out, while his richer neighbour might sin with impunity. During the late year this fee-demanding practice increased to such an extent that the parties affected by it could no longer bear it—the cord has been strained till it appears likely to snap—for the Home-office having been applied to, it seems that the authorities there took the opinion of the law officers of the Crown upon the subject ; and we now learn from a Ministerial Journal that " a communication has been received from Lord J. Russell by the Secretary to the Society for protecting Shopkeepers, in which it is stated that the subject having been submitted to the law officers of the Clown, their opinion is that selling in shops on Sundays is not indictable at common law, and that the ' practice of constables and others compelling tradesmen to pay a sum of money for entering appearances to presentments for a nuisance is entirely illegal.' " In this document it seems hardly fair to speak of the con stables as the persons " compelling tradesmen to pay for entering appearances," the act being that of the officers of the Crown-office, and of them alone. The idolt, if any, has been with the successive judges of t h e King's Bench, who have allowed juries to receive and these presentments, and who have allowed the Crown-office to exact these payments, without the parties being ever brought to trial. It is said "a blot is no blot till it is hit," and if the present judges coin cide in opinion with the present Law-officers of the Crown, it is to be hoped they will at once relieve constables and juries from this irksome duty, and tradesmen from these illegal exactions. While, how ever, we say and urge this, we should regret to see any relaxation in a religious observance of the Sabbath result from this circumstance. Nor need such be the case. If the observance of the Sabbath must be enforced by penalties, which we very much doubt, they may be recovered by a much more simple process than by indictments, or by a conversion into Crown offiee fees. As far as Sunday trading is concerned, the higher classes, by setting their faces against it, in stead of encouraging and compelling it, as they now do, would effect much. If we are asked why a Scotch Sabbath differs so widely from the observance of the same day in this metropolis, we should say, because it is in the former case adopted and acted upon as a sacred duty, and not, as here, allowed too generally to become subservient to profit, pleasure, and conve nience.—Morning Herald.

Tvz-ToTALLERs.--On Monday last a person brought his wife to the police-office, on a charge of habi tual drunkenness. The wife, stung by the complaints of her husband, retorted, " You're no sober yoursel' man."— " Me no sober r' exclaimed the man ; " it's four months the no° sin' I joined the Tee-Total Society, and I only fell through last week a wee ; but you wasna joined a week, woman, till you began to smuggle, and you've scarcely ever been sober sin' syne. There's waur members o' the Society than me ; but as for you, you're a disgrace to a' connected wi't."—" Haud your wheisht, man ; I keepit steady enough till I got baud o' a drop o' your ain ae Sunday that ye had hidden in a corner, whaur ye thought I wadna' look for't." " Eh, Jean, was't you that steal't that ? That's waur than ever—ye deserve to be sent to Bridewell for that itsel' ; lock her up, policeman." The police, however, refused to interfere and dismissed them both.—Scotsman. A FLATTERER REBUKED.—" I will tell you," said Bishop Warburton to a friend, " what I said in the drawing-room to a knot of courtiers, in the old King's time (George the Second.) A nobleman chanced to come in, and said, The King is not well !" Hush,' said Colonel Robinson, it is not polite or decent to talk in this manner ; the King is always well and in health ; you are never to suppose the diseases of his subjects ever approach his royal person. I perceive, then, Colonel,' replied I, • there is some difference between your master and mine ; mine was subject to all human infirmities, sin excepted ; yours is sub ject to none—sin excepted.'" ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH.—It is not wealth that is the evil, it is the habit of dishonesty that wealth ha gots into. The moment a man gets wealthy he begins to cast about for the means of getting more by the plunder of his neighbours ; and the government of the country, from the memory of living men to the late accession of the Whig and Radical dynasty, has been one great joint stock committee of m anagement, for the organization of the plans of indivi duals upon this point into an operative whole. Once or oftener has the resistance to it been put down by the skill of the plunderers in confounding the attack on unjust wealth with attacks on wealth in the abstract, and the awkward ness of the assailants in leaving pegs for the fallacy to hang upon. But honest men may grow wiser than of yore ; and on no point have they gained more light than on the dis tinction between that kind of wealth and property which society is united to defend and that which it is united to pull down.— Westminster Review. PA LEY'S SUMNI BONUM.—In the company of young men of whom Paley was one, a discussion arose con cerning the " summum bonum." The argument was car ried on by different speakers with due seriousness and gra vity, and several opinions, both ancient and modern, were sifted and examined relative to this most important topic. At length Paley cried out, " You are all mistaken ; 1 will tell you in what lies the summum bonurn' of human lif e . It consists in reading Tristram Shandy, in blowirg with a pair of bellows into your shoes in hot weather, and roasting potatoes under the grate in co!d." THE MINES. " There's danger in the mines old man," I asked of an aged miner who, with his arms bent, leaned against the sides of the immense vault absorbed in meditation—" it must be a fearful life." The old man looked at me with a stedfast but somewhat vacant stare, and then in half broken sentences he mut tered " Danger—where is there not—on the earth or be neath it—on the mountain or in the valley—on the ocean or in the quiet of nature's most hidden spot—where is there not danger ? where hath not death left some token of his presence ?" " True," I replied, " but the vicissitudes of life are various : the sailor seeks his living on the waters, and he knows each moment that they may engulph hire— the hunter seeks death in the wild woods—the soldier in the battle field—and the miner knows not but that the spot where he now stands to-morrow may be his tomb." "It is so, indeed," replied the old man—" we find death in the means we seek to perpetuate life—'tis a strange riddle— who shall solve it ?" " Have you long followed this occupation ?" I asked, somewhat struck with the old man's manner. " From a boy—l drew my first breath in the mines—l shall yield it up in their gloom." " You have seen some of those vicissitudes," I said, " to which you just now alluded." " Yes," he replied, with a faultering voice, " I have. There was a time that three tall boys looked up to me and called me father. They were sturdy striplings ! How it seems but yesterday they stood before me so proud in their strength—and I filled too with a father's vanity. But the Lord ehasteneth the proud heart. 'Where are they now ? I saw the youngest—he was the dearest of the flock—his mother's spirit seemed to have settled on him—crushed at say feet a bleeding mass. We were together—so near that his hot blood sprung up into my face. Molten lead had been lass lasting than those fearful drops. One moment and his light laugh was in my ears—the next, and the large mass came :--there was no cry—no look of terror—bat the transition to eternity was as the lightning's flash—and my poor boy lay crushed beneath the fearful load. It was an awful moment—but time that changeth all things brought relief—and I had still two sons. But my cup of affliction was not yet full. They, too, were taken from me. Side by side they died—not as their brother—but the fire damp caught their breath, and left them scorched and lifeless, They brought them home to the old man—his fair jewels— than whom earth's richest treasures in his- sight had no price—and told him he was childless and alone. It is a strange decree that the old plant should thus survive the stripling things it shaded, and for whom it would have died a thousand times. Is it surprising that I - should wish to die here in the mines ?" " You have indeed," I replied, " drunk of affliction. Whence did you derive consolation ?" The old man looked up—" from heaven—God gave and ho hath taken away—blessed be his name." I bowed my head to the miner's pious, prayer—and the old man passed on.—Cal dif Chronicle. THE CORN LAWS. A correspondent of the Kendal _Mercury writes—" I wish to draw the attention of the farmer to the time when a scarcity of corn prevailed. At that time they had a Corn Bill to protect them. The price of goods then got out of all proportion with the manufacturers' wages, and the con sequence was that the country was in a most alarming and agitated state, so much so t,►at Ministers, Tory Ministers (of course immaculate), found it necessary to pass an order in Council allowing the importation and introduction into the market of foreign grain, to save the people from starv ing. I admit that this was an act of mercy, or rather of justice to the manufacturer but a gross act of injustice to wards the farmer. Honest men will naturally ask, had the farmer no compensation ? We answer—none! none what ever ! But the Ministers for this transaction were de fended by the landed interest in the Lower House, pre ferring the ruin of their tenantry to endangering their own property by t► national convulsion, brought on by the Corn- Laws starving the poor. So much for Cor■ Bills pro tecting the farmer. _ . . " I shall now pass on from individual interests, and en deavour to defend Free Trade on the broad principle of universal good ; indeed, without it, half the bounties of Providence are made useless to mankind in general. Had all nations been equal in soil, climate, and produce, it would have only been necessary to proportion the people to the extent of each kingdom, and free trade would have then been unnece-sary. Any man, let his acquaintaece with the world be ever so circumscribed, must observe that the discrepancies are so great, that without free intercourse our privations must be in the same proportion. Yes! the most careless observer will discover that the greater the disparity in nations and produce, the greater the bene fits of free trade. " But, by way of illustration, let us suppose two nations of equal magnitude and population, but that one of them possesses superior climate and soil, and that its inhabitants by working three hours a•day could produce food sufficient for all ; but being deficient in every thing that makes them speedy and efficient as manufacturers, it requires nine hours a-thy to provide for clothing and other requisites—so that twelve hours a-day is occupied in providing food and cloth ing. Let us suppose the other nation just the reverse of this : the consequence would be, that without Free Trade, each would have to labour twelve hours a-day to provide all the necessaries of life ; but with Free Trade they need only labour six hours to produce the same. But perhaps it may be said that the disproportion here men tioned is never so great betwixt any nations. Be it so ; but this I assert, be it more or less, the blessings of Free Trade will ever be the same in proportion." Sir F. Burdett has subscribed 1001. towards the building of the new church at Trowbridge. A GRAIN OF OATS.—We have just been favoured with the inspection of the produce of one pickle of oats from the garden of Mr. Geikie, Lauriston. It consists of eighteen stalks, on each of which there are about seventy pickles, making in all upwards of twelve hundred grains of oats from one single seed I—Scotsman. Mr. John Parkyn, of Polperro, lately caught a con ger, and brought it on shore alive. On going to bed, he hung it up in a basket ; but, in the course of the night, it managed to escape to the floor, where a battle took place between it and a large rat, that had for some time infested the house. The next morning the rat was found in the conger's mouth, and both the combatants were quite dead. —West Briton. A gentleman holding a high Ministerial of in Greece married, about the end of last month, the sister of his brother's wife, contrary to the ecclesiastical law of the country. He has, in consequence, been excommunicated by the Bishop of Attica, and the anathema pronounced against him extends not only to himself, his wife, and chil dren, but to all those who speak to them, salute them, or hold any communication with them. A Tory society has, within the last few days been established in Newcastle, " to maintain the ancient prin ciple: on which the Constitution is founded ;" the nature and object of such a club are perfectly understood. Mr. John Hodgson Hinde, M.P., and Mr. Richard Hodgson, M.P., are conspicuous supporters of this society.—Berwick Advertiser. The foundation stone of a new Catholic Chapel at Hereford was laid on Tuesday last amidst an immense con course of spectators. As a proof of the mildness of the present autumn there is now an apple -tree in a garden at Dorchester, in full bloom, which had a good crop of apples picked off it about three weeks since ; and also another at the village of Bockhampton, near that town, which is entirely covered with blossom.— Wilts Herald. CHURCH-RATES.—The poll at Ashton-under- Lyne, upon a motion for the laying of a church-rate, has terminated in the complete defeat of the church party, the votes being at the close of the contest—. Against the rate For it Majority A similar contest has taken place at Mottram with a still more triumphant result, the poll at its conclusion standing thus-- .Against the rate For it Majority It is evident from these and similar manifestations in other parts of the country that church-rates will not much longer he granted. The Tories, who have resisted the appropria tion clause in the Irish Church Bill, and refused their con sent to a measure which would have provided for the re pair of Churches in England by giving an increased value to the church lands, have done their best to put an end to the payment of tithes in the one country and of Church rates in the other. We thank them for their foolish zeal. The London Anti-church-rate Society, which contributed so much last year to give concentration to public opinion upon this question, is, we understand, to take the field again before the meeting of Parliament ; and we trust its secretary, who is to visit us next week, will meet with the hearty co-operation of every opponent of ecclesiastical ex action in our town and neighbourhood.—Manchester Times.

The o estates of almost ever y C or p ora tion were in the hands of The estates few who were self-elected, a nd who perpetuated their p by nominating their colleagues and successors from among their own relations and dependents. These little g reat men were themselves ruled by some landowner who lived near. The interest both of patron and cornoration was adverse toe the improvement of the town estates. Long leases wer in many cases granted by Corporations to memb ers of their own body at most inadequate rents, and the town revenues The were wasted in patronage, feasting, and extravagan ce. inhabitants of the towns, the rightful owners of th e estates., reaped no benefit from their revenues—the Mayors , the Al dermen, and the burgesses of these anti-muni ci p al days rendered no accounts. The mace was paraded with grveat ostentation, and the people were told that the money ies expended in keeping up the dignity of the town ! The Municipal Reform Act, as it was originally frame e. , d ,' l cut up this system root and branch. Its promoters inte rs that the town estates throughout the kingdom should be controlled by the people themselves ; that is to say, hy i n adequate number of individuals chosen by the burgeseS'e 11 and whose period of service should be so limite d that, from corrupt motives or errors in judgment they should not erform their duties to their constituents, other an d In ?re_ _fficient managers might supply their place. E xtens: 7 powers were given to the corporators, and the tr ue sPni t of the Act was shewn in th e clause which directed Oh the surplus rents of the town estates should be aptliecilli ePeting improvements. Had the Bill been carried as originally drawn, the new cor p ora tions would have bee: free from the b ineful influence of party spirit, a nd ene municipal representative would have strove to cons ult the general interest of his constituents, and to render a satis factory account of his services at the expiration of his terra of office. The introduction of the clause which enacts that th e Aldermen shall be chosen either from the Council lors or from the persons qualified to he Councillors, has in some measure defeated the object of the Act, or we should ra ther say prevented its immediately coming into full beno" cial effect. In every town this clause has given an unfair predominance to one party, and enabled the majority of tbe, moment to bear down the minority by a large accession 41 numbers chosen as nominees of that majority, and pledgo to their support. With this exception the Act is working well—the burgesses are no longer excluded from them s: nagement of their estates—their income and expenditn accounts are audited by officers chosen by themselves -4n every occupier of property of adequate value who has been rated for three years, is eligible t o fill the highest si tuatien in the new Councils. This incitement to steadiness , Perse verance, and good conduct, is most beneficial.
