BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN PAKINGTON, BART., SECRETA.Ei OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES. Sir,—One of those periodical political revolutions of this country—which, whilst they demonst rate clearly the_ elasticity and power, for experiment or progress, testify also at thesame time, to the great strength of our glorious Constitution, proving alike the beauty and har mony of ax its working maehinary—has pieced you in a position the most at might envy, the most devoted lover of his country be proud to hold. You era one of a Cabinet, the advent of whose chief to office is not the appearance upon the stage of a po litical adventurer, ea ger either for emolument or patronage, nor of one seizing upon power to carry out recklessly those measures even which he in his heart believes to be the best for the welfare and happiness of Britain's sons ; nor has he sought or taken power for party purposes. He asks to have the worth of his policy inquired into. If he is right in his idea, he wishes to carry conviction to the country generally, so as to have the full sanction of the nation before he makes any serious move. If ha is wrong, he wishes to know that his opinion ha 3 been moat decidedly condemned, not merely by political opponents, who have, either in or out of offiee, lived for six long years upon an expert meat," but by tho intelligent and by the talented, in short, by the ereat mass of his fellow-countrymen, before he attempts to lead or to direct their energies for future operations , He has come forward, in short, to serve her m e testy end the empire; solemnly has he elected to be tried before God and his country, and such a serious appeal will be listened to with respect, but strongly tested by his LeFciship's conduct. Atter this briet preface, Sir, year, who have been se lected by Lord Derby to be at the head of our great colonial emplace at a moment too when we are just awakening to its vast importance, will not, I think, be astonished if I consider it unnecessary to offer any apology for thus abruptly calling your early attention to what has been considered by many eminent men, and whet in my humble opinion it really is—the very key stone to cur political and commercial existence. It history had not even taught us how nations rise and fall, a very litt!e examination into the position and circumstances of this great empire would show any one the brink of the precipice upon which we stand—the rock upon which our vessel may be destroyed. We are, however, too proud to own our danger, if not too busy to observe it ; we think, too, perhaps, like some foolish captain of a noble but ill-fated steamer, that England can approach all danger, and recover herself unharmed; that we can back her, ease her, stop her, take a turn ahead or astern, just as we pteaae. Our prosperity, since we lost that noble territory, now the United States, has made us bold in fotly, and we thus venture on and on, until we shall ell be astonished some day to find our vases! split, our crew dispersed. Foreigners, even Germans, ean.see our danger, and point out our weakness. " The whole of 'England," says Al. Ficquelmont, " erem to imagine in'North America a power against which it can no . I.mgar struggle," and he adds, that to attempt now to step the United States in her career of power, prosperty tt hed uzivereal dominion between Eu rope and Asia" would be the greatest case of ,tieing, too late in the field that would ever have been recorded in history." This letter paragraph shows our danger as much as the former cue shows our folly. Far Wit from us to attempt to stop either the prosperitrayfethe power of tile ljnitsd States; bat let us exert outselves to keep pace with her, and univereel dout yion between Europe and Asia . we can never allow her t ) obtain. With the perneiesion of the editor erne Sun, who has always entertained a high value of our coluniel em pire, I vt ill meke thiS attempt, Sir, thus Mean your immee diate attention to our North American territories. Long, too long, iideed, have we neglected that noble fiekl for British enterprise and British capital; too long have we trifled with loyal hearts and warm feelings to old England; too long have we neglected our own inte rests in the secondary consideration given to our noble colonial empire. To be a colonist has almost become a term of reproach et of contempt. Ouly a colonist: in deed, and yet we have men in them as fit to grace our senate as any lord or commoner in the kingdom —men as fit to fill our bench, he it of bishops or of judges, as any men who ever wore the apron or the ermine; men as tit to form our military or naval heroes as any of those whose best blood Hoes beneeth our scarlet coats; men fit for every eituarion in lilt, qua! fled for every duty. But enough, there they are—colonists—and as sucn fit for porter or far piece in England. Such things, however, cermet any longer be. The whirligig of time brings in i s revenges, and if we do not find scope and occupation fur the talent and the enterprise of our colo nial brethren, particularly of North America, they will be assuredly forced some day to find an outlet for themselves; and if we do net direct, aid, and assist the loyal British feeiicg that yet exists, wofully shall we rue the day, when indeed it still be too late; fur should our North American provinces once be induced to j tee United Staees, England's maritime power, in the Pacific certainly, in the Atlantic probebly, is gone, never to return. Twee whole centinent Of North America under one authority, a protective policy against all our manufactures and encouragement to their own, and Enelantrs princely merchants will soon become merely pour shopkeepers, and her industrious, hard-working people complete beggars. This is no imaginary picture, bat a etera reniite—et lees; I think so—and have said enough, I hepe,'Ser, to thew that I am in earnest. I may be wrong: as taey the Protectionist or the Free trader, bet I 0131:n tsistealy with them sincerity and the right to be heart!. le we lose our North American con lineal, Our notch pen e on the Atlantic and Pacific octans. it will matter , ittle then, in ray opinion, who may rule Eettlend, fee-tho will inevitably sink into a third t, er ;tnth-rare viewer; she may struggle ou for a time, but it trill be en au ebbing WRVO, or down a trouoled stream—her art:lige gone—arid eitireately to last icr ever—her sttteseten laineked at, her flag despi yd. But, Sir, i do not Jawed open snob things hem s.° I think them ptehatile or possible, but because I,l t es t lieve the moos' of his .rriTti4 when wit may give an impetus. and an energy to t.tte inciostry of EL:A great ehapirei by the icamseintte sieveitspmeat of her 10nf, , -nidden resources.

At this momeat, as you are well aware, Sir, one of the first and present leaders of Canada, Mr. Rinks, is now in England,. as a delegate, on the subject of the Great Trunk Railway. Last year there was one from Nova Sootia, Mr. Rowe, who is expected again im mediately, as. well as Mr. Chandler, from New Bruns wick.

It may be remembered that when Sir HENRY WARD last convoked the present lonian Parliament, he held out a promise of several important retorms, which seemed to be ardently wished for by the lonians, pro vided the spirit of the new Parliament were more con ciliatory than that of the preceding one. It appears, however, that the Lord High Commissioner's wishes have again been thwarted. In a proclamation addressed to the lonian people, dated the 18th inst., he says in conolusion:— " I have now only to return my thanks to those members of the majority who have honourably redeemed the pledge given upon their election, by supporting a plan which they thought conducive to the true interests of their country. Their names comprlse all that is most distinguished in Corfu and Cephalonia for talent and integrity. They have been opposed by men whose objects and characters I leave to the judgment of their fellow-citizens. "For myself, I can only say, that I have exhausted every means that some political experience could suggest to bring this matter to a happy issue, and that having been thwarted in my designs by men whom I could neither satisfy nor lead, I have not to add to the mortification of failure the belief that it has been caused by any want on my part of frankness or conciliation." A telegraphic dispatch from Trieste states that intel ligence had arrived from Corfu that 22 bankruptcies had taken place at Zante, to the amount of about 1,120,000 f., and that others were expected.

TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Sir,—As an old gunnery officer I cannot allow the re marks made by Lord Palmerston. and followed up by Captain Duncombe, in the House of Commons last night, to go forth to the world, that " iron mer ch ant steamers are not fitted for the purposes of war," without giving m y most unqualified dissent. In the first plat©, the experiments made and c onc l us i ons com e to have not been satisfactory to the public, or made with due consideration to a large and powerful interest i n.this country, viz ' the iron masters, iron shipb u ild ers , and stee rn _b oat proprietors. The purport of the re marks made by these gentlemen in the British House of Commons is to iaffict gi miler ) , oth e , r , im portant branch in this country. listing injury to a most 11 ; Y wb c'En have iron easels been condemned? Not by form ing an opinion upon, or those educated What have been the experiments gunnery this unjust condemnation educated and capable of neon which "'I been made? sided sections, intended to gunners fancierde,parnwsehinryt• Si moon, fired at from theazportion of t. , , __ the amateur cfent in their estimatio;ratyo zeellent . un d ii " the one side of the uponßi them sufli cewooaunspdielnemtioinef purposes. I ask this simple question-- r Wooden fi s a i d et a withcietd yi t a s i S t a i d i i I I ea'3Wra and e l l o t a c hit 'l i re : : re e l:i l ,uel:atilsnendce number gia i s ofnbo ree:rwilif oai parison at ;he time made? i 5 it possible to arrive at a concldsion upon a subject.:f lees a trial had been made upon h a latter um pat magnitude togtnea ri the : ha t s el ,t -c u m a t a n c e s ? Again, sulmitting the shot breawk o w o h tl e tt ri nder similar cir iron, this is an argument in favour of thestriking °°flsidereds inasmuch that so large a hole is not vvililisdtoeffecti will opposite side of the ship, as tho shot or through —an experiment not yet tried. rag In the event of another war, shot will beens nts peg s only a secondary projectile. The percussion take the load, and if reports are true, these shells upon iron compared with wood? It is haveatat by an able authority who witnessed the practice at tr iron butt with these shells that not ono exploded, but only broke, as in the case of shot. Consequently ir on has an advantage over wood. Again, I contend that less damage to men at their quarters would be caused by splinters from iron vessels than from wood. This is an experiment not yet tried, which could easily be done by placing canvas screens between decks of the vessels fired at. I contend also that shot hdlcs in ken can be more readily stopped than in .Wooden vessels, Laving less thickness of side, and by the assistance of flat iron plates, lined with thick vulcanised India rubber, and a chain from centre set up inside. In conclusion, I maintain that iroa has bcoa prema turely condemned, through the opinion and influeoc.) of certain amateur artillerymen; and until a ves se l o f wood and iron of similar sc ant li ng he fired at under equal ad vantages, I do assert from my experience iu these matters, and opinions formed from having attended 1 various practice upon wood and iron, that iron had most decidedly the adveutage over wood —Rot only in a naval point of view, but as a com mercial question. The Government iron steam-vessels have been prematurely condemned, and others sold out of the service—and why ? Because the vessels have been neglected and allowed to rust into holes for want of com mon attention and a little paint. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, J. R. ENGLEDUE, Late Gunnery Lieutenant and Instructor of Practical Gunnery on board her Majesty's ship Excellent. Southampton, Marcia 31, 1852.

Kit Wren, as Dr. Spratt familiarly calls our great Sir Christopher, (and it is pleasant now and then to see a genius in his slippers), was one of a band of men, the founders and early fellow, of the Royal Society, whose names are world-famous and memories imperishable. He lived, too, at a turning-point i• English history, and witnessed events of no ordinary magnitude and im portance, —saw the Restoration (and its vice), the burn• trig of the City, and its rebuilding. He was himself a " miracle of a youth," a " rare and early prodigy of universal science;" the possessor of the most varied knowledge and powers, the perfector of the barometer, a profound astronomer and mathematician, a profuse inventor, the architect of St. Paul's, and • good man. Always at work;—an inventor at fourteen, and a philo sopher before that, he produced results with wonderful rapidity. A reflecting-dial, an instrument to write with two pens at the same time, a weather-clock, a machine wherewith to write in the dark, his appointment as de monstrating assistant at anatomical lectures in Surgeons' Hall, learned essays, and Latin metrical essays, may be pointed to before ho was sixteen. At five-and -twenty he filled the astronomical chair in Gresham College. Newton said, that of that age of geometers, Wren, Wallis, and Huygens were "jacili principes;" and of his 150 important architectural works, what do we say ourselves? We find him a constant attendant at " the club" in Wadham College, from which emanated the Royal Society, with Boyle, Ho')lte, Evelyn, and others, and always ready to join in what was going One— Builder.

THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.—Amongst the re cent communications received by Mr. G. Wilson, as Chair man of the League, the following letter from Lord Ktnnaird will be read with interest:—" Rossie Priory, March 25, 1852.—My dear Sir,— I shall be obliged by your again en. rolling my name as a member of the Anti-Corn-law League; and glad, indeed, am 1 to see the position the League has assumed at the present important crisis. Experience has shown what I always maintained, that the Corn-law is a landlord's, and not a farmer's, question; and the landlords are surprised that the farmers, who have been told that they must be ruined by the repeal of this law, should turn round and ask for a reduction of rent. But lam satisfied that, in a very short time, the farmers will find that they have bene fited as much as other classes in the country by the with drawal of what was, after all, very much a nominal protec tion, as it has led to a proper adjustment of rent, and di rected attention more especially to the best means for in creasing the production of the land. I believe proprietors are rapidly coming round to see how desirable it is that the question should be finally settled, and are averse to being parties to putting their hands into the pocket of the poor man for the purpose of adding to their rent-roll. It is quite evident that the present Government are playing a double game to obtain votes at the next election ; but if the coun try d to throw their deluded followers leaders are quite' prepare .., li declares against protection, it is also evident that the Yours faithfully, KLNlNAlli.o.—(aeorgo Wilson, •• sq., over.—.• MONET ET.—The quotation of gold at Paris MARK to the tariff )which, at prem.

WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. Sir R. IL INGLIS said he had given notice to the Noble Lord the First Commissioner of Works, of a question with respect to the state of Westminster bridge. Six years ago the state of the bridge was such that a Committee appointed to consider it reported that it was necessary to pull it down and rebuild it. Four years ago another Committee came to the same conclu sion, as did also a COmtnisrion appointed in 1851. Her Majesty's late advisers had prepared a Bill fur the per ro,e of transferring to the dep.rtment over which his Noble Friend (Lord J. Manner.) presided, the property of the Westminster Bridge C.annsissioners, and it was recommended that the Bill should be brought in with out delay, with the view of having a new bridge erected. The Bill having been accordingly prepared, and all the needful notices having been given, the question he de sired to put was, under what circumstances, and by what advice, had the postponement of the execution of such intention taken place ? The bridge was no better now than it was when the recommendation alluded to was made, and the opinions of eminent engineers re mained the same. Lord J. MANNERS said he h a d f e l t i t incumbent upon him, on entering upon his present office, t o ma k e some inquiry as to the n..cessity of intr o d ucing that mea sure in session of Parliament. Th e engineer whom he consulted, however, did not consider there was any urgent necessity for the construction of a new bridg e this session. Her Majesty's Government, therefore, t a ki ng into consideration the silence of the report of the Com mission as to the probable expense of the new erection, were of opinion that it was inexpedient to introduce a Bill for the purpose rebuilding the bridge in the present session. Lord SEYMOUR—WouId the Noble Lord object to lay on the t a ble o f the H ouse a l et t er from Mr. Walker, reporting on the stability of the bridge.—(H ear.) Lord. J. MANNERS—I hold it in my hand (Cries of "'R ea d.") now,— The subject then dropped. Sir DE LACY EVANS urged upon the Noble Lord the propriety of throwing open the House of Com mons for the inspection of the public on Saturdas, and making better accommed a tio n for the ladies, y EDINBURGH POST-OFFICE, Mr. COWAN moved for copiet of all the memorials whch have been received at the Treasury or the General Post-office, from the officers of the Inland Department in the General'Post•office.

PARK IN FINSBURY. Lord ROBERT tiItOSVENOR asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of thy. Governm, tit to assent to the formation of a park at Finsbury? Majesty's present Government, equally NviLh her an d tThe CHANCELLOR of the EX Government, were extremely d- sire us to encourag. , and to carry out all those undertakings, the object of which was to tricreeso the health and ei,j, Yinent of the great body of the coutry, but with v.g Arit to the particular CrIEQUER said her question on which the Noble Lord begged to state, that the demand add which hadressed him, he been made for makinu a park was a very large amount— 4nout 400,0001.—and, a l t h oug h extremely desirous, of course, to assist the people in an o bj ect w h ich Was so legitimate ell the one in question, still homust remember that when so large a sum was demanded, ho must look to the interests of the great body, of the peop le who paid a n.:, the taxes, out of which the 400,000/, would have to be def , ayed.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this was a question which concerned the getter" taxa i tion of the country, and it V,"jB not for any other mem ber of the Government to speak upon it except himself. Ha had already given a frank answer to un llon. Mem ber opposite on the subje ct . He said then, and he would repeat it, that he would very shortly make on the part of the Government the floancial statement, and it was quite impossible, until t h at moment, for any inf or 'nation to be afforded t o the ILiuse by the lievernment Mr. REYNOLDS th ee gave notice that he would make a motion on the su b ject on an early day alter with respect to the tax a ti on of the country.
