Sealed Tenders (in duplicate) will be received at the Office of the Agents-General for Grower Colonies, No. 5, Cannon- w, West- Minster, until Thursday, the 11th of November next, fret parties desirous of furnishing a Steam-tug for the service of the rbour of Port Louis. The Tenders will be forwarded for the decision of the Government of Mauritius, so as to arrive there by the 15th of Janu ary, 1853, the day fixed for their delivery in the Cdony. For the insDrmation of parties tendering, the following description of the spe:ies of vessel required is published: and notice is hereby given, that no tender will be taken into consideration which A not In accordance therewith. 1. A strong, thoroughly well-built, woodefipaddle-wheel vessel, With two engines of 100 horse power each. '2. As the ordinary employment of the vessel will be that of a Tug in Port Louis Harbour, it is required that she should not draw more than 10, or. at most, 11 feet of water, when so employed, and carry ing a week's consumption of coal ; but it is required that she should Possess the necessary qualifications of a sea-going vessel, and be able to carry coal for 15 days of 24 hours each. 3. Subject to the above essential conditions, it is desirable that her length should not exceed, 120 feet from the after part of the stem to the fore part of the stern-post, and that her registered tonnage should not exceed 300 tons ; or that those measurements should be exceeded as little as possible. 4. The vessel must be coppered with 32-oz. copper and copper fastened ; of.brigantine rig ; fitted to tow or lash alongside of vessels, and with plain accommodation solely for the Captain, Officers, and Crew. 5. The engines must be on the "side-lever" principle, or of any superior description adapted to the purposes for which the vessel is required : to be fitted with expansion Eear to work half steam ; the boilers to be of iron, and the machinery fitted with the latest im- lent of Parliament, it ap final robbery of the tax rendering the remainder millions, which were ad as hi Ireland. That dis the sole cause of it, they rating. It is now proposd to pek the present Parliament for the total repeal of the famine tax." Irish impudence has long been a proVeib of a world's notoriety, but it has uow exceeded all former notions of its extensibility. Tee capital sum of eight millions, granted by a single vote of the Par liament, is by no means the total amount of money con tributed,by this country for the relief of Ireland in con sequence of the distress, ostensibly occasioned by-the failure of the potato, but, in reality, a necesqtry conse quence of the condernaation of millions to ahsoldte de pendence on a single, uncertain, and perishable root, affording at the best, from the same quantity of raw pro duce, three-fourths less nutriment than oatmeal at very nearly the same price. Of the debt of eight millions, oat half was more generously than justly remitted at once by Parliament. The whole was voted for the relief of the Irish, who were represented to be perishing by hundreds, in consequecce of the failure of potatoes. Did the landlords suffer it to be so applied? It was said that the money contributed from all sources towards this relief was insufficient, and in 1848, a depu tation of landlords waited on the Earl of Clarendon to solicit his approbation of a scheme for extracting another grant from . Englishmen. His Lordship flatly refused, and as flatly accused the landlords to their faces of having diverted the greater portion of the money from a people who were said to be perishing of hunger into their own pockets. He mentioned that numerous cases which had come to his knowledge, in which substantial farmers had elhimed and obtained regular relief, through collusion of the parochial ,or district authorities, and many others, in which landlords had placed tenants who were in arrear of their rent on the relief lists, in order that the money might go to the liquidation of their arrears. In fact, the administration of the national funds for relief of the starving poor was converted into a gigantic swindle for the profits of the landlords. Greater frauds upon the nation and Government during the progress of the alleged famine were never practised. The papers teemed with represen r t i op of the excessive mortality, and Dr. M'Hale esti he deaths at either two or three millions, all of which ho charged as crimes upon the English Government, and especially Lord John Russell, though every member was anxiously arid zealously exerting all his energies to undo what was truly the work of the Irish landlords, as we shall soon demonstrate. Dr. MaHale, in his virtuous indignation, forgot that the census and other records of social progress would furnish most satisfactory means of detecting deliberate falsehoods, as well as of correcting honest though erroneous statements. These documents throw a considerable doubt upon the reality of the " famine" itself, and enable us to deny the existence of the asserted excessive mortality. For ' instance, in the ten years ending with that of the last census, the population decreased 1,659,330, and in those years 1,289,133 persons had emigrated from Ire land. Computing from these numbers by any pro bable rule that we may select, in the hope of ap proximating to the truth, we shall be satisfied that Ireland was not afflicted with a prodigious mor tality from famine in the true sense of the word. But if Dr. Al'Efale's extravagantly improbable estimate of the deaths from famine were true, the murderers were not the English Government, but the Irish landlords, who now desire to repudiate the debt, which they contrived to place in their own pockets. Let us see how the case btands on the supposition that two or three millions of people, in a population of eight millions, perished through the failure of the potato. Had that root perished in any other country in the world, no such dreadful consequences could have been produced, because the people could have fallen back upon other and more nutritious food. But the Irish could not do so, hceaus.o the landlords, by exacting the most exorbi tant rents, had long compelled them to export all sorts of better food, and condemned them to the potato for their sole subsistence. If, therefore, a great mortality ensued on the failure of the potato, to whom was it owing but to the landlord? Even during the time that Dr. API - fate's imaginary millions were dying of hunger, the Itindlords were causing the wretched survivors to snatch the food from their retch, and export it to other markets for their shamefully high rents. According to the Doctor's teaching, we must call this conduct most inhuman; and that others may judge of it, we abstract, from Parliamentary returns, the following quantities of food exported before and duriug the year of the alleged famine:— Average per year from 1842-45, 219,414 qrs. wheat Total in 1846 Average as above 86,122 qrs. barley Total in 1846 Average us above 2,506,538 qrs. oatmeal Total in 1846 Now ready, in 3 Vols., 31s. 6d. bound, BARONESS D'OBERKIRCH'S -- MEMOIRS, Illustrative of the Secret History of THE COURTS OF FRANCE, RUSSIA, AND GERMANY. " The Baroness D'Oberkirch, the intimate friend of the Empress of Russia, wife of Paul 1., and confidential companion of the Duchess otDotirbon, saw much of courts and courtiers ; and her remarkable memoirs are filled with a variety of anecdotes, not alone of lords and ladies, but of emperors and empresses, kings and queens, and reign ing princes and princesses.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAL TIMES.—The journals of the continent appear_una nimously to regard the lat e d ec l arat i o n of Louis /Napo leon at Bordeaux as the most important incident in his progress through the south of France; and while the more devoted adherents of the Buonapartist Govern ment hail with satisfaction his open aceeptance of the Empire, the opponents of hi s G overnme nt cannot with hold their approbation from so prec i se a nd positive a ae claration in favour of the policy of peace. In a country where no security remains but the personal assurance of the ruler, such declarations are all we have to rely on; and without attaching to them more weight than they deserve, they at least put an end to the ominous silence on these topics which left a door open to the un favourable inferences. But we cannot forget that on several former occasions Louis Napoleon has volunteered to make declarations equally emphatic and equally well received by those to whom they were addressed. His messages to the National Assembly were remark able to the last for the forbearance and the con ciliatory spirit which it suited him to affect while he was slowly preparing the annihilation of that body and of all public liberty. Nor did he hesitate to assure the nation that nothing would ever divert him from his duty as an honest man, bound by his oath to respect the Constitu tion, though he was guilty at that time of premeditated perjury. The penalty for those offences against the first law of duty is that we cannot attach to his words the same confidence we should wish to plitce in him. Speaking in one of the first commercial cities of France, whose interests are absolutely identified with the main tenance of peace, the most ordinary prudence might have suggested the pacific assurances which have ac companied this announcement of the Empire. But no traee of the language employed at Bordeaux was per ceptible at such places as Strasburg and Tai,don. There, on the contrary, vast military demonstrations appeared to favour very different passions. French pontoons flung over the Rhine—a vast naval armament collected at Toulon—prodigious activity in all the naval de partments—and _ the _ extension of the fortifica public dinner-table at Perth. As a programme of his future policy, this appeal says roundly that ho wants to place himself at the head of a democratic movement, to overthrow a ConservatiVe Government which had shown itself sincerely and practically disposed to press all real and just reforms, and of which, Lord Joha's com plaint is, that some of the reforms which it did press and curry were those which he might have effected himself, if he had wished. So much for the general principles by which he would rouse, the commonalty in his favour. But, besides principles, or rather in exchange for prin ciples, he needs persons—persons of some public notoriety. And to whom, of all' men, after his democratic prolusion, does he make his bow? To whom but the Peelites ? His compliments to them—the flattery which he lavished even on their beaten candidates at the last elections—conveyed a very intelligible tender. No consideration of the somewhat " advanced" character of Lord John's last profession of faith deterred these self-styled Conservatives from in• stantly testifying their sense of the honour which they had received. They placed their political organ in the service of the volunteer leader of democraey,aad became the apologists of his past fame and present position. He had virtually intimated his readiness to receive them into his camp, and they at once began'to . arm in his defence. Bat, at Carlisle, when Sir James Graham was ' asked what" ite " he was, he replied that he had been a Peclite; but now that he was no " ite " at all—meaning, doubtless, that others were Grahamites. Thus, it seems, he reckoned upon a fickle and wavering loyalty; for, at the first encouragement, his followers were ready to change the prefix of their political patronymic, and to become Russellites. But this is not all. The severe virtue and inaccessible principle of the Liberal- Conservative nymph is not yet fully delineated. She is, it appears, not only easily won, it' boldly wooed, but capable at the same time of wooing askance, or transversely, on her own account. Scarcely had Lord John Russell had time to congratulate himself on the triumphant effect of his courtship, when he beheld his frail beauty lavishing her blandishments on Lord Pal ,. —been cheated. Before, howev,er, they had time to Come to any decision on the subject, the speaker fairly cut the ground from under their feet, by telling them that whatever they might think of Protection, he knew that it had not a leg to stand on. The game was ail up. "By the office,' if I may so call it, or rather by the situation which I filled so long for that party, I am, alas! too well aequainted with the lists, majorities, and• minorities of the House of Commons, not to be able r in taking up a lilt of the Parliament which has just been returned to perceive that there is a de cided majority of Members in the lower House inimical to the feeling and to the measure of protection to so"li culture. If I differ, as I certainly do, from the wisdom and justice of their views, yet, notwithstanding, I must acknowledge that I myself and those who think with me are in a minority, and I ask is it wise or pru dent to force forward a question which can but involve those whose interests you wish to the utmost of your power, and at every fair risk, to uphold—is it wise, I' say, to force that forward when you can gain no advan tage ? They say.--it is a scriptural phrase=that it is useless, to kick against the pricks', and I firmly believe that in this instance, if we were to stir this question, and t o moo t it in an unfortunate moment, we should - only throw further back tho interests of those for whom we would make any sacrifice." Who talked of the folly or the sin of "kicking against the pricks" when they were out of office? Did the farmers think of the author of evil, who is said to be able to quote Scripture to suit his own purpose, while this Conservative partisan was sporting his scriptural knowledge? Who influenced the minds of farmers and country gentlemen at meetings? Who talked of civil war to maintain Protection, an speculated upon the ser vice the mounted farmers might do to the good cause? What party is it that fur the last few years' have been speechifying, writing cooking statistics,-making use Af every imaginable artifice to persuade the agricultural in terests that there was no hope for them but in Protec tion? Who but these very men who, having now ob tained all they were aiming at, by the efforts of their poor dupes, now, coolly turn round and tell them that there is no help.

The:e7. - ,tension of the railway system o- the continent, its introduc tion into Denmark, Norway, and Russia, countries immediately surrounding Sweden, has rendered it indispensable, in a national point of view, that the latter shOuld no longer be isolated from the grand chain of European communication. To meet this necessity the Government of Sweden has granted a concession for the construction of a series of trunk and branch lines, adequate to the internal necessities of the kingdom, and to its foreign traffic. The construction of a Grand Trunk Line between Stockholm and Gottenburg has been, in the first instance, determined on, compris ing an extent of 350 miles, by which means the great design of uniting the Baltic and the North seas will be accomplished, and, in connexion with the line about to be established across Denmark, the journey from St. Petersburgh to London will be aceomplished in half the time occupied, at present ; the navigation of the sound will be avoided ; and consequently the payment of Sound dues, together with a saving of freight, insurance, and the delay of a long voyage up the Baltic. The port of Gottenburg, ou the North Sea, being accessible during a greater portion of the year than the Baltic ports, the navigation to the north of Europe will be continued until a much later period in the year than at present ; the Russian traffic from Western Europe and America would, in summer from choice, and in winter from necessity, add largely to the traffic of this Line. The object of the present Company, is the construction of the first section of this Grand Trunk line, to the extent of about 88 English miles, between hoping and Halt, which will connect the two prin cipal lakes of Sweden, Wenern, and Malam ; the remainder of the route, between Stockholm and Gottenburg, will be accomplished for the present by the steam-boats through the lakes. file concession for the first section has been obtained front the Government of Sweden, for a term of 40 years, with a guarantee of 5 per cent., on a capital of 416,679/ 0 thus offering to the capitalist a highly profitable investment secured on the faith of one of the most responsible Governments in Europe, without any public debt whatever, and with an annual surplus revenue. From the annual sum of 20,833/. thus guaranteed by the Go vernment, 4 per cent. per annum will be paid to the shareholders, and the remainder will be applied to create a sinking fund to re deem the entire capital at the expiration of forty years. It is important to observe that the shareholders will be entitled to the ent re profits of the railway, which, it is confidently expected, will realize from 8 to 10 per cent. per annum. Contracts have been entered into with a responsible English con tractor, from whom security has been taken for the execution of the entire works of the line, and to provide all the rolling stock, plant, and workshops necessary for the efficient working of the railway, on such terms as will secure the execution of the whole, the payment of all preliminary expenses, cost of naanagement until the opening of the line, and 4 per cent. interest to the shareholders during the period of construction, for the amount of the capital of 416,6701. Full powers are granted to the Company of estaulishing an electric telegraph, with the usual privileges attached thereto. Four per cent. interest will be allowed to the Shareholders on their calls, from the day of payment, during the period of con struction. The payment of interest and dividend will take place at Stockholm, Gottenburg, Paris, and London, at a fixed rate of exchange of twelve rix-dohars banco to the 11. sterling.

Just after the Peelites had shown their readiness to coalesce with Lord John Russell, their organ, in a sudden panio, lest Lord Palmerston were about to join the Government, addressed to the latter Noble Lord a solemn admonition on the value of patience, and quoted the French proverb, that " all is well for those who know how to wait"— tions of what is already one of the strongest places in Europe—are proofs that however highly Louis Napoleon may value the blessings of peace he has not ceased to prepare and augment his means of war. The Emperor Napoleon himself, and the most warlike Sovereigns who have ever lived, con stantly laboured to convince their subjects and the world that they were dragged into wars entirely against their own will, and that the maintenance or restoration of peace was the sole object of their policy. On one point, however, there can be no doubt and no incredulity. Louis Napoleon has thought it—and rightly thought it —a stroke of good policy to endeavour to convince the French nation that the second Empire is to be an wra of peace, and the enthusiastic response which the country has given to his assurance on this point is a strong indi cation that he cannot violate this engagement without irritating public opinion and wounding the principal in terests or France. The most absolute Sovereigns are in truth not much more able to despise and surmount pub lic opinion than those Governments that live under it s incessant control. If Louis Napoleon is setisfied that the public opinion of the French people is strongly pro nounced in favour of peace, it is to be presumed that he will not, for any paltry object of his own, fly in the face of an o bligation which is one of the conditions of his power. War may be too unpopular at home, as well us too dangerous abroad, for him rashly and wantonly to provoke it; and perhaps there is no guarantee of the general tranquillity on which we can rely as so wello n t h e r epugnance of the French themselves to disturb The Bordeaux spe ech was, doubtless, intended encou rage or to flatter these hopes amongst the less warlike portion of the French, and, at the same time, to disarm, possible, the distrust with which the re • as s far as toration of the Empire is watched by foreign States. But if we aro to take this declaration as perfectly sin cere, the reception it can n ot fail to me et with both in France and in foreign countries furnishes a conclusive argument for acting upon the line of policy it pre scribes. The military establishments of all the conti nental Powers have grown to the most oppressive mag nitude. They are kept up, or rather forced upon, the several Governments, by mutual distrust. The revolu tionary storm of 1848 no longer affords a decent pretext or a reasonable motive for the permanent maintenance of the largest armies the world has ever behold. The question of peace or war in Europe rests mainly—we might almost say exclusively—with France, for in the present state of things we entirely concur in the remark of Louis Napoleon, that " if France is satisfied the world is tranquil." No Power can be so much as suspected of the slightest desire to at tack her territory or to contest her rights, though no Power feels at this moment an equal degree of confidence in the intentions of the French Government towards the territory and the rights of its neighbours. It is, there. fore, for Louis Napolean and for France to take the lead, if these assurances be trustworthy and sincere, in the highly honourable task of restoring the world to that peace establishment which was never more needed by the finances of all Europe. There is nothing in the con quests he ;spoke of the other day which requires the presence under arms of half a million of soldiers. No boon which he can confer upon the rural population of France could at all be compared to a mitigation of the conscription, which now annually takes from 80,000 to 100,000 men from their homes; and we are satisfie d that his power wou ld gain infinitely more internal so lidity and external respect, by divesting it of its menac ing military character, than by an unseasonable display of idle ho s t s t h at might overrun half the provinces of Europe. For ourselves, we are quite ready to apply and to abide by this test of the wisdom or folly of his policy—of the truth or the worthlessness of his promises. But while w© see the whole army of France in the highest state of preparation for any undertaking, and with a considerable addition to its effective force; while we know that unusual activity prevails in all the French dockyards, and that the navy has received within the last few months a vast augmentation to its strength, we are unable to reconcile these facts with the declared in tentions of the French Government; and this palpable inconsistency naturally increases the distrust with which the new Imperial Administration may be viewed. 11 these Suspicions are erroneous and unjust, as they are certainly onerous and inconvenient to an the world it rests with Louis Napoleon to disarm them; but we cannot attach very great importance to any verbsl declaration, unless it be accompanied or followed by some of the measures which ought to be and would be its immediate and inevitable consequence. If it be, as we suppose it is, the object and the d e sire of the future Emper or t o take a pl ace am ong the chief Powers of the world, we venture to affirm that hr will find it far more easy to recover the natural influence of France, to contract alliances, to command respect, and to con d uc t neg otiati o ns when he bas laid as ide the sword which he still brandishes over the French and in the face of Europe. His own speech is a full and complete homage to the principle for which we are contending. Foreign countries having no direct con cern with the internal Government of France, are merely interested in seeing him act up to these decla rations in his relations to themselves. If " the Empire means peace"—to use his own emphatic expression—it means the unreserved acceptance of the territorial limits of Europe and of all existing treaties; and it means the reduction of the present enormous military establish ments to the peace footing. There can be no question that these two measures would be hailed with gratitude tionists, and the positive assurance that such an attempt would be futile, are two of the greatest impertinencies that were ever offered to a deluded party. In the mean time the Liberals have fair ground for triumph, and it is to be hoped that the next semi-official announcement of the Derby Ministry will be as consolatory as Major Beresford's declaration that Ministers have abandoned Protection. Application will be made to her Majesty and to the Government of India for charters of incorporation to limit the liability of the Shareholders, and power will be taken to increase the capital of the Company to 2,000,0001.

In other words, they want Lord Palmerston for their next Government, and will guarantee him a place. Tempting offer! to which one of the most eminent statesmen of the age is strangely indifferent. A similar offer had previously been tendered to certain Irish Mem bers by the same cosmopolitan party. We have spoken more particularly of the Peelites than of some others in the incongruous agglomeration which we suppose must be called the opposition—not merely because the Peelites have been the most obtru sive in qualif;ting themselves as the only or the ablest statesmen of the country, and in vaunting their scrupu lous adherence to principle; but because it seems we have hurt their feelings. They accuse us of not being conciliatory in o u r language; they suggest that friends ' are lost, and those whose forbearance might have been expected aro estranged and irritated by bitter words. Falstaff preaching sobriety, Algernon Sydney extolling disinterested patriotism, Robespierre or Couthen expa tiating on the sacredness of life, or the Emperor Nicholas, like Marcus Anti:minus, delivering lectures, and choosing for his subject the excellence of municipal institutions, would less startle us than to hear the organ of the Grahamites deprecating any political criticism chat is not conciliatory and dignified. In the v%.ry article in which this expostulation is conveyed the favourite style of that journal is fully il lustrated—a style which alternates between pedantry and slang. 01 the latter character we had no dnculty in culling such samples as we may hero fitly introduce in passing. This organ, which is all for conciliation and dignity, tells us the Mr. Disraeli is "a mystery man, who has a new dodge of some sort;" and "he is a Caucasian going to do the quart-bottle feat;" and the Quarterly Review " twaddles about cooked statistics, increasing to the tune of so and to." Further, " Disraeli is an ingenious Caucasian," and " a poli tical quack," and "a young Jew named Hoffer, con- POST.—The speech of Louis Napoleon at Bordeaux will create a great sensation throughout Europe. For the first time he distinctly declares his intention of ac cepting the Imperial diadem, and of pursuing that pacific policy which hitherto he has carried oat with such notable success. On the return of the President to Paris, the Senate will immediately take steps to carry out the unanimous wishes of the French nation, and a solid and permanent Government will be established among our neighbours. It is a thing desirable for England and for Europe that a monarchical and stable Government should exist in France, rather than an im potent and ever-shifting Republic. To France herself the benefits will be incalculable. The whole people are now enthusiastically determined on placing an here ditary crown on the brows of a Napoleon, simply because he has wrought such great deeds far their benefit—be cause he has stifled faction, and has amazingly aovanced the commercial and social prosperity of the country. They thirst for more victories and more glory. The people press forward as " his soldiers," to aid him in con quering and bringing " to religion, to morality, and to opulence, that still numerous portion of the population which, in a country possessing a faith, has no knowledge of the precepts of the Saviour, which, in the bosom of the most fertile territory of the earth, scarcely obtains the common necessaries of life." Such are the conquests of the future empire, whose chief has again and again re cognised peace as " the desire of France"—peace, which will permit her " to cultivate her waste lands, to open new routes, to render her rivers navigable, to terminate her canals, to complete her network of railways, to assi milate to herself the vast kingdoms which she possesses in Africa, to bring her western ports nearer to America by that rapidity of communication yet lacking, to restore ruins, to overthrow false gods, to make truth triumph." Such, according to Louis Napoleon, are the purposes of the empire. And who can doubt it? In these few words are not the necessities of France truly pourtrayed? Is it to be believed that when her interests lie so plainly in one direction, she is likely to rush forward in another? As the President most truly observes, " War is not made for pleasure, but from necessity." And war is next to impossible, because the necessities of France point directly, as we have again nod again shown, to peace—not that we inculcate any blind confidence in the duration of calm, which must always to some extent be subject to the influences of any sudden popular passion, though far less so under the Empire than under the Republic. We have always advocated reasonable measures of pre caution, and regard it as England's first duty to insure herself against the consequences of any accidental broil with any foreign power. We cannot forget that the French are full of vanity, and vastly fond of military glory. We cannot forget that there are historical dis asters connected with the fall of the Empire that French men have long wished to retrieve; but as years roll by, the irritating remembrance of those facts becomes less vivid, and the increasing intercourse of England with France tends to foster better feelings, and we hope stronger ones. At any rate, it is not feeling alone that can insure peace or cause war. Interest is, with all mankind, the grand motive power, and the interests of the two countries cry aloud for peace. The nations and their rulers wish it, and nought is distrusted save the name of " Napoleon." " What's in a name 1" Glory, indeed, is almost synonymous with her hero in the mouth of Franco, and the nephew of the Emperor claims the heirship of his glory and intends to sustain it, not by war, which ho " does not inherit," but by establishing " confidence in the present and security for the future." We cannot find terms strong enough to convey the sense of disapprobation, and the feelings of disgust, with which Englishmen regard the language of certain of our contemporaries in relation to the present Govern ment of France. They level the whole volley of their utmost abuse at Louis Napoleon, and at the whole French nation, for no other reason, that we cansee, than ALLSOPP'S PALE ALE AND DR. GLOVER. The circulation given to a statement tending to invalidate the expression of Dr. Glover's opinion in favour of Pale Ale, compels Messrs. ALLSOPP and SONS to connect this remarkable dis tribution of a calumny with other insidious attacks upon their nr nk which they have reason to know proceed from an unworthy and unneighbourly jealously.

So many proofs does one leading article of our " dignified" contempo rary afford of how easy it is to be abusive without being witty. With all this there is so much pretence to ex clusive possession of political wisdom and of literary accomplishments, that our readers will pardon us for having loitered a moment on the subject. Those who would find fault with Lord Derby for having formed his Government must advance what literally amounts to this proposition, that no Government is necessary in England. On the other hand, those who would censure the manner in which his Administration have adminis tered the public affairs since accepting office must set themselves against the unanimous voice of all honest and impartial persons, and deny facts to which wo will allude more at large on an early occasion. DAILY NEWS.—Major Beresford has again been enlightening the Essex Protectionists. His lecture came off at the dinner of the Hinckford Agricultural and Conservative Club, and may be taken as a kind of Ministerial indication of what is in store for us. The introductory note to the speech was very instructive, and if it did not convey a warning to the infatuated sup porters of the Ministry, who were so nnsuspiciously drinking the healths of their betrayers round the well ailed table, we must attribute this to the strength of the landlord's wine or the thickness of something in Essex, This note was sounded by Mr. Vicars, who pro posed the health of her Majesty's Ministers, and in the course of his speech took occasion very strangely to be stitch his hearers to forget that they were agriculturists, and to try and think they were something else. "If," said Mr. Vicars, "he understood aright the position which they occupied, it was not the honourable one, simply of owners and occupiers of the soil, but they appeared in the yet more exalted character of English ,flen, with Eeglish feelings, and patriots with high aspi rations." Tho plain English of all this is—don't bother the Major about Protection and such matters now, drink your wine, and listen to what ho will tell you about patriotism and aspirations, and all that sort of thing. The Secretary -at-War, before the confused agriculturists had had time to make up their minds as to the extraordinary advice which had just been given, at tacked them in the same strain, and no doubt clenched the impression made by his friend. He told his hearers, in high-sounding terms, that if they looked at that pe riod during which his party had held the reins of Go vernment, they would find that they had not flinched from doing their best to improve—at the same time that they had maintained—the ancient institutions of the country. He assured them also solemnly that they in tended to stand by those institutions, whether civil, mi litary, or Protestant. After this magnanimous but rather vague declaration of what his party would do, he considered that his hearers were in a fit state to listen to his own version of what they would not do, prefacing this with a brief account of what they had not done. First and foremost he told the bewildered guests her Majesty's Government did not comp into office on tho ground of protection. " I deny that position in toto. I know no reason that any man has to say that the Government are Free-traders; and I deny the other position also, that they did come in, in the slightest degree, upon the principles or Protection." That is a strange thing for us to say, but it is not less true. . . " When called upon to form a Government, which we could not have contemplated, we were accused that we came in upon tho principles of Protection. But no, w© were called upon to form a Government because Lord John Russell was unable to manage hi 3 own party." Of course it was not the Major's business to answer the question," How came you and your party to be of suf. ticient importance to be called in to do what Lord John was incompetent to do?" How came Lord Derby—who has been the mauvais sujet of each Ministry ho has been connected with—to be called on in conjunction with Mr. Disraeli—a mere dashing guerilla—to form a Ministry? Why—when the Government of the country went a-begging . was it offered to a wayward earl, and a literary poUitica t ? Why ?—but because these two men had by violent.. party speeches in both Houses of Parliament, by o T i n e ti G l , l .l' nthe vio lent addresses out of the Houses, the greatest statesman that England most unscrupulous manner for his free-trade fmeasures bas e and (as it was years, gained the sympathies of and Mr. Disraeli being the Protectionists. Lord Derby thought) powerful party in thealcaorugntry—that party the P rote ctionists. They obtained power by flattering position would not have P ro tectionist party. In the unscrupulous them to but as the assumed an importance in gthe co untry which their own ac knowledged heads of the and, when that weakened the Whig the Protectionist leaders, were re sponsibleunscrupulous followingGoeuvteronfmtheenitr;partisan policy, they Go vernment they, on of the machinery of the State All this, of course, ajor Beresford shirks. It suits' , onus of the his purpose much . for the ctirr Ministry upon the • of this unprincipled 3%;il be n tt s er to throw the formation Queen. Neither ho nor his chivalrous leader are con tent to b e answerable for their own position in office. uer a M jesty must be brought forward as a shield be tween thorn and the country. "We came in at the com mand of her Majesty to supp ort her in her j ust prero gative, and not to allow the official business of the cows try to be thrown into the hands of Sir James Graham and his Irish associates, or of Mr. Cobden and the Man chester school." This is simply a most barefaced shuffle to get rid of the responsibilities which the Derhyite party have incurred by their connexion with tho Protec tionists. "We may be Protectionist* still," says the Major—" I know," he continues in another part of his speech, " that Lord Derby was a Protectionist in the commencement of the present year, but that has nothing to do with the question. Her Majesty rushed into our arms to save herself from Sir James Graham and Mr. Cobden; hold your tongue until tee have delivered her." How the listeners might have re ceived this n 'Mee, if they had been allowed time to ponder over it, would be difficult to say.

Under these circumstances, wo deny the right of the Irish landlords to expect any fur ther relief from the payment of a loan, which seems to have been exacted from us by la scandalous fraud, and converted to their own advantage. Whether they call the payment of the interest or instalments of the prin cipal a Famine Tax, is of little moment; for whatever it may be named, it is a tax occasioned by themselves. That the potato failed, and the poor suffered, we admit ; it forms an incontrovertible reason for compelling the repayment of every farthing advanced in compliance with the pretence of a famine ; but that there was anything like a famine, or that state of the earth when it ceases to yield fruits for the sustenance of the inhabitants, we emphatically deny, and point to the preceding state ments of food exported to raise rents for our vouchers. The census said the emigration returns also prove that the mortality during the distress was shamelessly and fraudulently exaggerated, with the object of imposing npon the well-known humanity, charity, and liberality of Britons. Admission, Is. ; Napoleon llcoms, 6d. THE MELBOURNE STEAMER. (From the Times.) The " sweet little cherub" who presides over the destinies of seamen evidently confines his attention to the interests of the merchant service. The ablebodied mariners who ship for a voyage on board any of her Majesty's vessels must take their chance, and struggle en to their port of destination as best they may upon the most inefficient compounds of wood, iron, and canvass that the world has yet sees. There is really no dis guising the fact—there is a fatality over Queen's ships. Call the result melancholy, call it ludicrous, call it ex pensive—call it what you will, ships constructed at the most reckless cost for the public service will not go through the water with the same conditions of speed and security as vessels belonging to private owners. We will not assert just now that anybody in particular, from the Duke of Northumberland down to the veriest apprentice in Devonport Dockyard, is in fault; wo only look at the simple, unmistakeable result. The ships are, rsu doubt, excellent good ships, constructed on the most scientific lines—the power of the engines is nicely adapted to the proportions of the hull—the of ficers iu command issue precisely the necessary orders, and their ship's company obey their directions in the most zealous and efficient manner; but the ships won't sail or steam in the required direction. Thut is all that is amiss about them. As an illustration of this asser tion, we would call attention to an announcement from Plymouth, which we received last night by electric tele graph, and which will be found in aaother portion of our columns this day. It is to the effect that the Melbourne screw steam-ship, in getting under way in 'lemons yesterday morning, ran between two hulks, fouled one of them, and did herself very considerable damage. The brief announcement talky of jibboom, catheads, and anchor carried away, of shattered davits, of chain-cable ru n out, and so forth. Of course, as the vessel is no w the p ro p er ty of the Royal Mail Steam Navigation Com p an y , th e Govern meat people will say they have nothing to do with the catastrophe. W e cannot certainly fix them w i t h t h e direct responsibility o f an act which, after all, may be simplyau uuuident;wusi simply Go vernmentvessel in trouble.

The _Melbourne mail steamer, having made good her defects, was to have sailed this morning for her destina tion, but in getting under way in Ilameaze this morning with the ebb tide, she ran between hulks, and fouled one of them. She carried away her jibboom, catheads, and anchor, let her chain cable run out, broke the boat davits, and did other damage, which will cause further detention t) the ship. ,hat our neighbours prefer a positively French constitu ion, in accordance with their characteristic requirement for a love of discipline, to a wretched imitation of American institutions, patched with a few English ideas, totally at variance with their social policy. The false hoods and the slanders which have been uttered by the English press aro astounding from their magnitude and their emptiness—windbags, which are so frail, that they cannot even make a noise when they explode. Why, to instance but ono—the public has already forgotten the prodigious nonsense that was set forth by our contem poraries about the European Powers marching armies into France in the event of the re-establishment of the hereditary empire; in order to vouch for this, our con temporaries published dispatches and treaties which never had any real existence, any mcro than the truth or honour of their authors, or the sense of their pub lishers. But the principal of these wilful calumniators does not even confine its foul abuse to foreigners. It dares attack the loyalty and the courage of English men, saying that " the great reason why Englishmen won't have a democracy is, that beyond that demo cracy they see a certain vision of cold-blooded despo tism." Thew are the words of the Time*, and anything more stupid than this was never uttered even by the thundering stupidity of our contempor ar y . Where is there beyond the American democracy a vision of cold blooded despotism ? and why should not that which is good for America be good for England by the absurd rule which would insist that what is good for England is good for France? We need not point out what is apt to the sense of all, that Englishmen dislike democracy as a thing bad in itself, and not because they are coward like afraid of the consequences of a principle which the Times and Mr. Cobden pretend that they admire. In the same way our contemporary, falsifying all things, asserts that the present Government of France relies as much as anything upon " upholstery and stage manage ment." Are the Four per Cents. at 106.50 upholstery, when compared with the Fives, this time last year below 90? or are hundreds of miles of new railways —solid improvements in agriculture and in all the great towns, together with relief from taxation, to be called stage management? No; such folly is fit alone for the passes of 21. Victor Hugo and of our contemporary—who, in its present notions of democracy, us in its rapid changes generally, seems likely soon to rival that miserable revolutionist, once the fulsome adu lator of the Bourbons, now the defender of the impious murder of Louis XVI. The currish and barking ani mosities of such as they can signify but little to the ruler of France, or to the French people, as they know, that, in these matters, our contemporary no more repre sents the feelings of England than does M. Victor Hugo. Did our neighbours not understand this, we might fear that, in the event of any "petty misunderstanding" between the two powers, the passions and feelings to which we have already alluded might be roused to a dangerous point of excitement—even to the overbearing of the counsels of interest—by the contemptuous and alone bitter language of journals whose insolence is match for their folly. The Government of Erg England, and all the European Governments representing t h e true ' feelings of their respective nations, will, no doubt, respond, noble in terms full of confidence and cordiality, t o t h e and patriotic views of the President. And now that France appears about to become settled in Government and steady in policy, we may h hope to seeer exercise her due influence in European councils, wholesome spirit of competiti on for much of and th d e is w p o la r y ld' a s commerce. She may contribute to, oaltmtaoicslot continent, whilst the due maintenance of order throughout w nn l y the in whilst we sincerely tru s t that h mote a liberal policy t o which now e will a freer scope maybe be afforded. It was a dread of new disturbances in France that chiefly induced many of the contine n tal Monarchs to rush violently int o the extreme paths of absolutism, and we expect now that a due reaction may take place. As to France herself, we believe th at th e new Emp e ror will find and her interest his own to lie in a continual extension of the constitutional liberties of the people, and a steady and judicious advancement of their mental and moral education, By such gradual means, we hope to see, at no distant day, in France, political freedom ex isting, as completely es it does in our own happy coun try. To merit such liberty, the French must conquer it. by a large proportion - of the French nation, and with just satisfaction by the rest of Europe. On such terms the renovated :and altered Empire of the French might indeed inaugurate u period of prosperity and repose; but these measures are in themselves so obvious, so de• sirable, and of such easy accomplishment, that until some such steps are taken we must be permitted to re tain doubts, if not apprehensions, which nothing short of experience can entirely remove. HERALD.—Lord John Russell, Messrs. Cobden and Bright, Sir James Graham, Mr. Joseph Hume, and Messrs. Keogh and Moore, are the respective leaders of several sections in that political medley to whom the present Government is in a greater or less degree dis , tasteful. Lord Palmerston deserves better than to be ranked with the centurions; and we omit his name for the reason that made Hannibal omit Scipio's in the enu meration of the general whom he was asked to charac terise. The approach of the session, in quickening the movements of the various parties which thus constitute Opposition, exposes their die-array, and even multiplies their difficulties. An Opposition, indeed, in the re• ceivod souse, exists not at all; there is a stir among many bodies, now blending partially, now dispersing in still wider divagations, like clouds in the uncertain sky. The Parliamentary divisions hostile to the present Ministry are hostile to each other. Disagreeing among themselves respecting the principles whims ought to preside over the management of the national business and regulate the ser vice of the Crown, they might possibly—let us grant this for argument's sake—be rallied for a moment to subvert one Government, but confessedly they never could unite to establish and maintain another. If they could even effect the forced or transacted combination of a day, that day's work must be demolition: it could not be followed, at least at their hands, by the construction or the re-construction of anything. We are stating a plain fact, recognised or confessed by every person of ordinary intelligence throughout the country. A regu lar, or constitutional, or intelligible opposition exists not; but some parties exist, each of which would desire to be in office, not ono of which dare count the rest as adherents in such a contingency, and all of which taken together possess precisely that sort of power that they might obstruct others in dispatching the necessary affairts, of the empire, but yet could not themselves resume th is interrupted business.

" Newcastle-on-Tyne, April 11. was not my intention, in writing the hasty note to w nLancet,' to cast an y re fl ec ti ons upon, or to implicate in any nraY, respectable brewers of pale ale. When I first saw the statement about the alleged use of strych "nue in bitte r i ng ale, I looked upon the assert i on as i ncre dibl e, b oth ac count of the price of the drug and the symptoms it would create,_n ; but on exper i ment, I foun d th a t s try c hnine possesses such ar,to derf ul bitterness, tha t it might perhaps be used as AN ADJUVANT l east to by UNPRIN CIPLED PERSO NS. In short, my object was simply show that the thing was not altogether so ,impossible as It ap veared at first sight to be. pi ) , 78 ,Y Opinion is, that hops should not enjoy the exclusive privilege used for bit not beer; but I do not pretend to discuss tho point with practical men.

AVERY PARTIAL STATEMENT of the real fact it would be, were we to mention as many new styles of dress as would fill an ordinary advertisement, the majority would then be omitted. E. MOSES and SON'S new inventions fo .1* the Autumnal Season are beyond description, and their universal , appli cation to every kind of dress renders them successive series of no velties, to particularize which is impossible ; but it is the pit ttnest statement they can make, and the most likely to be fully prop rttcl— that their dress for Youths and Children is wholly reconstructot i by artistes they employ exclusively in that line. Their Overcoat De partment presents an array of new styles, securing comfort, gentllity and economy. Dress Suits in magnificent materials all new, and cut aed finished in the highest style. Sporting Dress has reed red a complete reformation in Cut, Make, and Materials. The Cut se cures comfort, the Make exhibits the most accomplished work man ship, and the Materials are novel, waterproof, and elegant, at prices much below any other Establishment. PAROCHIAL AND UNITED EMIGRATION. These arrangements are likely to prove beneficial in man r re spects ; should they fail in any, it will be expenses incurred by • 'pur chasing unsuitable outfits. It is not at all probable that Gentlt nnen of business habits will recklessly expend the resources of Parc cbial or other Institutions on improper and high charged Outfits;: but they cannot be expected to possess a thorough acquaintance with the Goods which should be comprised in suitable Outfits. To such, E. MOSES and SON respectfully offer the advantages of their lo nrer practical experience in this branch of trade, and will at any tim a be happy to exhibit their unequalled Outfits, and gratuitously supply .all needful information to Societies, or to private individuals. The ad vantages E. MOSES and SON can confer in Outfitting are of tl ie most important character—extent of Stock in every kind of Good s, the most suitable articles, and the best quality.

CAUTION.-ZE. MOSES and SON regret having to guard Vie public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanli ke falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " 1 t's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and'. 'for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, aria 157, atinories, 133, 84, 65, and 86, Aidgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and six. appear, both in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful." —Miaow Wan on the Treatment of Stricture, VRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH. The following testimonial is another proof of the great efficacy of this medicine : " Winchmore Hill, Middlesex, April 16, 1851. " Sir,—ln consideration of the great benefit I have derived from taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of nine years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine. I had long previously been afflicted with headache and indigestion, but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief ; and during this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of health, which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg further to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and we know of nothing to equal it. I am, Sir, es pectfully, THOMAS PROVINCE. " To Mr. T. Pront, 229, Strand, London.
