Lord CARDIGAN made his appearance in the House of Peers last night. Petitions were presented by the Duke of RICHMOND from Dysart, complaining that the Trustees of a certain turnpike-road were insol- vent, and that the parish was obliged to keep it in repair; by Lord ELLENBbROUGH from Bom bay, complaining of the Legislative Council for transferring the power of granting spirit licenses to the Chief Collector of Land Revenue ; and by Lord BROUGHAM from Heavitree, praying for the establishment of Courts for the more easy Recovery of Small Debts. • The Earl of CARDIGAN was called to the Bar, and having nothing to address to their Lordships by way of objection to the proposed proceedings, was placed in custody of the Usher of the Black Rod. A writ of certiorari wasissued to remove the case from the Central Criminal Court, and a re t-urn havingbeen made, the Earl of CARDIGAN was bailed by two sureties, being bound in 5,0001. each, and himself in 10,0001. It appears by the statement of Viscount DUNCANNON that sufficient accommodation will be provided for all the Peers, and probably, as we understand the statement, for about two hundred and sixty spectators. On the motion of Lord SHAFTESBURY, it was ordered that the House, on the week of the trial, should adjourn froM Friday to Tuesday ; but it is not probable, we suppose, that the trial will last from Tuesday, the day it begins, beyond Friday. The Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. In the Commons, Col. FERGUSON took his seat for Kirkcaldy. • Several petitions were presented, and amongst them there was one by Mr. STRUTT, from Derby, for the abolition of the Corn-laws, which we are glad to see, as setting a good example; and one by Mr. HANDLEY, presented from a Mr. HOUGH TON,.setting forth that there were many parts of counties of England much nearer to some other assize town than the county town. For example, there is a part of Lincolnshire 50 miles from Lin coln and only 10 from Oakham. The petitioners therefore prayed that such parts might be allowed to send their prisoners to the nearest gaol, and that the inhabitants of such place, liable to serve as jurors, might be summoned to the nearest assize town.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1841. this day move at resolution in reference to some papers.left beh dby the - late Mr. RICK3iAN. Mr. CRESSW IaLL gave notice of a motion on the 16th, in re: at ion to the Danish Claims. As they have been , twice before admitted -by the House, and as omy one class of these claims is disputed, while . the two others are acknow ledged, it does it seem possible that the House will stultify itse' by refusing to accede to Mr. CRESSWELL'S m , A ion, or that the Government should willingly take on itself the ungracious task of opposing IV Ir. CRESSWELL'S motion. Mr. 110DGSON I tINDE is to propose an amend ment to the Stand ng Order requiring adeposit of 10 per cent. on r; sway shares, and to substitute 5 per cent. ; Mr. HAWES, having already made such a nice mess t ,f the police, is to try his hand at healing the aclical profession—he would do better to allow t he doctors to cure themselves; and Mr. HUME '5 , in the first week of March, to move to give vot for representatives to lodgers. • Lord JOHN R u 3SELL'S motion for a Bill for the be :er Registry Lt ion of Voters, which stood for Monday, was a p pointed for next Monday. Captain Po' .7 HILL renewed his question to Lord Jolts Rt sSELL, touching the gentlemanly letter of Prin. , ALBERT'S Secretary to the Re peal Associati; a, when Lord Jour: RUSSELL said he had seen if letter, but thought it unneces sary to make a ny inquiry on the subject. The House laughe d at the Captain. In reply to • Mr. HUME, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that the a greement between Sir R. STOP FORD and ME 13 EMET Am had been accepted by the Sultan, a a l that he had deputed Commis sioners to info tr. MEHEMET ALI that he bestowed the hereditary• Pachalic of Egypt on him. Ar rangements n 're making for evacuating Syria, and MEHEM Am had shown a disposition to carry his agreement into effect. The ar rangement we it ; made in consequence of the ad vice of the F o ur Powers. In reply t 0 Sir ROBERT PEEL, Lord JOHN RUSSELL saidl it was the intention of :the Go vernor-Genet a I of Canada to proclaim the Union about t:1 to end of January, but if the Le gislature of L I pper Canada should assemble be fore the Un; nt was declared, the GOVERNOR GENERAL me al i t to ask the advice of the Special Council as t o the period of issuing the procla- mation. The ATTO , JRNEY-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in ;a Bill for the Better Regulation of the Admit listration of Justice. This Bill is similar to tthe one which was before the House last year, and is confined, to the Courts of E quity. The business in Chancery has increased so: much, that there are bet Ween 1,200 and 1,300 c auses in that Court; and it takes, on an average, - five years, from the time a suit is entered till it is disposed of. The Bill is to abo lish the equity side of the Court of Eichequer, and to givt two new Judges to the' - Court of Chancery. There are funds in the'Court to meet the .o:pcnses which would be caused by the Bill. Sir EDWA:RD SUGDEN said the appointment of two new Juitses was the creation of two new Courts, and with a. new bar to each, and a hew body of lawyers.. He thought a strong case should be made out before the House consented to such a measure. He said the ATTORNEY-GE NERAL had more than doubled the amount of cases in azrear in the Court of Chancery. He referred to the Courts of Review and Bank ruptcy, which had fallen into contempt, to show the danger of appointing useless Conrts. He doubted whether they would facilitate the hearing of causes by multiplying Judges• He recommended that the office of the Masters should be remodelled; that a better Court of Appeal. should be constituted, for an appeal to the House of Lords was little better than a mockery. He would have two Judges appointed, to be called Lords' Assistants, to make the House of Lords useful ; and he would make the Court of the Privy Council, which has great powers, an efficient Court, with a proper head' and regu lar sittings. Mr. Lyricn supported the views of the ATTOR NEY-GENERAL, and contended that a case was made out for an additional Judge. Leave was given to bring in the Bill; and Sir E. SUGDEN also obtained leave to bring in his Bill to improve the Court of Appeal in the House of Lords and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Mr. LABOUCHERE, after making a long state ment relative to the price of rum, and the quan tity imported both from the East and the West Indies, after referring to the opposition hi s proposition to equalise the duties on rum, imported from both places, was likely to meet with from the West India interest and the dis tillers, moved that on Monday next the House should resolve itself into a Committee to consider the duties on rum and sugar. Mr. EWART regretted that Mr. LABOUCHERE had narrowed the question, which was one of jus tice, to a contest with the West Indian monopoly. The subject is of great importance to the com merce between India and Great Britain. Mr. GouLBURN would not then discuss the question, but he thought it impossible for the House to accede to the proposition. Mr. HUME and Mr. HoGG supported the mo tion, but both thought it was only a part of what ought to be done for India. Sir JOHN IIOBHOUSE appealed to those Gen tlemen, who thought the Bill did not go far enough, to support the Government, which had to encounter a formidable opposition in going so far. Mr. O'CONNELL and Dr. LUSHINGTON referred to the possibility of rum made by slaves being imported under the proposed Bill ; and Dr. LUSHINGTON declared it would never do to allow the East India produce to come it on the same terms as the West India produce while slavery exists in the East Indies. Perhaps the generous Doctor will give a hundred millions of the people's cash to buy the freedom of the East India slaves. Finally the motion *as agreed to, and the House is to resolve itself into a Commit tee on Monday. Lord STANLEY then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the Registration of Ireland. He stated that the present Bill Would be similar to the Bill of last year, with some alterations. With a view to meet objections, the Noble Lord re ferred to the Ulster Association as agreeing with him in almost every one of his principles, and claimed them as his coadjutors. Lord MORPETII announced the intention of the Government to oppose the motion, claiming for himself a fair hearing when he introduced the Government Bill to effect the same object. Mr. O'CoNNELL moved, after a short speech, referring principally to the injustice done to Ireland, that the debate be postponed till after the 4th inst. After a short discussion the House divided, when Mr. O'CoNNELL's motion was supported by 71, and opposed by 261. Lord STANLEY then received leave to bring in his Bill, and the House adjourned. We have to announce, with great regret, that Mr. GLADSTONE has succeeded at Walsall. He has been elected by a majority of 38. Mr. SMITH received 327 votes, and Mr. GLADSTONE 365. Till we are supplied with the particulars we will say nothing about the causes of failure. There are none, there can be none, which would have weighed with a discri minating, right-minded, and right-feeling people, against the repeal of the acursed bread tax. Walsall will now be a bye-word in the land. The electors have sanctioned the bread tax. They have resolved that the robbery of the poor is proper, and henceforth robbery will be the main principle of our social exist ence. Base and degraded 'Walsall I which vQtec to ensli -, . , and to plunder our suffering couritrymen. That we should be obliged to give Walsall this character pains us for the sake of the 327 honest and right-thinking ' voters it contains; but the brand is now indelible. The majority have decided that the name of the town shall be handed with infamy down to pos terity. Base as Walsall ! will be a never-for gotten comparison in our language. We notice in the report of the proceedings on the day of nomination, that Mr. FOSTER complained of the interference of the Corn-law League. He wished, we presume, to make a pocket borough of Walsall; but his success has probably cost him more than it would have cost, had the Anti-Corn-law League not visited Wal sall. He has known the character of his towns men. We gave them credit for possessing com mon sense and common honesty. They have preferred being the dependents of a banker and a landlord or two, to being free and independent men. There is no disputing about tastes, and we must leave the 365 Walsallers, who voted for Mr. GLADSTONE, to the enjoyment of their gro velling, unmanly disposition. Our cause, however, is too good for us to de spair because some 365 base Walsallers have gone against us. It is not in their power, nor in the power of the whole body of the Tories, to lessen the truth of the principles of Free Trade, or to make the demand for the Repeal of the Corn law otherwise than just. Our cause will not retrograde by the vote, but it will not be im pelled forward as it would have been by elect ing Mr. SMITH. The election at Walsall has decided that the non-electors have nothing to hope from the electors, nothing to hope from the representatives of those electors, and that they must help themselves. We regret this, because when the non-electors have lest all hope in the electors and in the re presentatives, they will begin to discuss the question of obedience. The decision of the ma jority of Walsall makes the duration of the Corn law a mere question of how long it is expedient to obey the law, and when does resistance be come a duty? The Canterbury election has also been de cided in favour of the Tory. We care little, comparatively, for that. Many of the Canter bury constituency are known to be venal, and there was no motive in the present election to prevail over the influence of money. The Tories have won. One of the arguments now used. for continuing Le discriminating tax on foreign sugar is, that the land of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Brazils, and other places, is more fertile than that of Jamaica and some other of our colonies. If, therefore, the sugar from these foreign countries be im ported for consumption, it is said, the pro duce of our colonies will be undersold, and they will go out of cultivation. To this we reply—if it be so, that such a tax is an attempt to counter vail the bounties of Providence, and prevent man from profiting by the fertility bestowed on the earth. We, however, believe that the assertion is destitute of truth, and that this is a miserable pretext for continuing to plunder the people of England. Will they believe that on the asser- tion of some half-informed travellers and inter ested planters, who never have compared accurately the two countries, who do not know in what fertility consists—will the peo ple of England believe that on a vague statement of the fertility of Cuba and Jamaica, they are to be taxed by discriminating duties on sugar and coffee to the extent of 3,000,0001. a year ? The persons who allege that as a ground for taxing the consumers of sugar to maintain in splendour the West India planters, might as well allege that it rains less at Jamaica than at Cuba, and that the people of England must pay heavily for Jamaica being a dry cli mate. All such assertions are palpable attempt s at humbug, and they are only invented for the purpose of beguiling the people of England into continued submission to a vile system of plunder by means of law. The Paris Morning and Evening Journals of Sunday have been received. They bring the long-expected and highly important news of the settlement of the Eastern Question. The an nouncement in the Moniteur is as follows : We have received this evening, by means of the Aus trian Embassy, intelligence of importance from the East. " On the I2th of January one of the officers of the Sultan left Constantinople for Alexandria, the bearer of a firman, by which his Highness officially accords to Mehe met Ali the hereditary possession of Egypt. " On the 14th of the same month Mehemet Ali re stored the Turkish fleet.'" In the same official organ this intelligence is noticed in the following terms : " The simple mention of the dates is sufficient to show that this act of the Pacha has been entirely spontaneous on his part, since he was then ignorant of the definitive intentions of the Sultan with regard to him. "On the other side, tile despatch of the firman by the Sultan preceding by two days the restoration of the fleet, proves that at Constaninople they acted with sincerity and good faith. "It is the character of the two events we an• nounce which gives them above all importance. We can conclude from them, that all the difficulties which dis turb the peace of the East are definitively settled, and as the peace of the whole of Europe was connected with the solution of these difficulties, the news which has ar rived will be received everywhere with the greatest interest." The Messager publishes the: same news, with no other addition than that the name of the SULTAN'S Envoy to the Paella was MASSLOUM BEY. So much for the account in the French Journals. Despatches from Sir ROBERT STOPFORD, dated from Marmorice Bay, January 14, and received yesterday by her MAJESTY'S Government, com municated this news to the British Cabinet. On the Gth of January Commodore RAPIER left Marmorice Bay for Alexandria, and was fol lowed 'on the Bth by Admiral WALKER. The voyage occupied two days, and when . Admiral WALKER arrived at Alexandria on the 10th he found that the Gallant Commodore had arranged everything with the Pacha, who was quite ready to give up the Turkish fleet, and to recal IBRA HIM PACIIA'S army from Syria. He, moreover, offered to send the Egyptian sailors to navigate the fleet to Marmorice Bay—an offer which Ad miral WALKER gladly accepted. These conces sions obtained for him from the SULTAN the he reditary Pachalic of. Egypt, 'which includes both the civil and military administration of the affairs of that country. The Treaty of July—the cause of such heart burning and general alarm in France, and of such peril to the repose of Europe —now happily ex pires, and with it disappears all excuse for the longer isolation of France fr om the councils of Europe. We sinc erel y re j oice at this. The con tinuance of what France calls an armed p eace , July ern nied by none bu t the few who re gard Turkey as l a l p re p i :e n h c e w n ' sn tiObse i m possible, and it was not w i t h out of the worst that we witnessed th e m ili tary preparations carried on, not only i n France, but thro u g hout the who le of Germany. pire is de- T to h t a h t ie ti c i o e n T s r e e r : a country doome d to destruction — that it was as m u ch the interes t of France as it was of Eng land to sign, is n ow admitted b y the ablest states men in that cou ntr y —and that France would taytio of of ultyhe was a measure essential n Ottoman have signed it, but for the duplicity o f M. TRIERS, is a fact resting upon the authority of the able statesman now at the head of Louis PHILIPPE'S Government. But essential, and necessary, and politic, as was the Treaty of July, by not including in it the name of France it car ried in it the germs of a war which no humane mind could regard without horror. For this rea son we rejoice it has expired without requiring for its execution any other than verbal co-opera tion on the part of Russia. After all the noise that was made aboufthe in formality of Conunodore NAPIER'S treaty for the through the perso na l i n fl uence o f settlement of the Eastern question, we are gra tified to learn t hat the fin al arrangement was effected chiefly through who h as th us esta blished claims to the go o d w i s h es o f hi s tlle Gallant f c r h e i s e h countrymen) and the considerati on o f hi s Sove reign. We have not the slightest doubt that the two days spent by NAPIER at Alexandria did more towards reconciling the PACHA to the will of the Four Powers and the SULTAN than would have been effected by a five years' blockade of the Egyptian coast. As there can be '.no doubt that Commodore NAPIER proceeded tb Alexan dria at the express wish of Admiral Sicw-gqr, we gladly accord to the latter brave offibeititt.6 - . merit of generously endeavourm.-. move any painful impression whigh repudiation of the former treat`; might, have left on the mind of the Gallant I.;!*f- : modore. Presuming that everything Ni:a.k ; cloll agreeably to the instructions of Admifil'S•rOP FOßD, there was equal generosity and dCJicacy in allowing Commodore NAPIER a two daYs? start of Admiral WALKER, who was proceeding in the name of the SULTAN, to demand in form the restoration of the fleet. To Commodore NAPIER this second visit to the PACHA must have been extremely gratifying. He came to offer, with the exception of a mere formality, precisely the same terms which the PACHA had befci.re ac cepte i from him. He came to prove the amicable spirit by which he had been actuated by preparing the PACHA beforehand for the arri val of the Turkish Admiral. How well this simple generosity of feeling and of conduct becomes the characters of brave men like NAPIER o,*l STOP- FORD! MONEY and COMMERCIAL ZiE WS CITY, TUESDAY EyE'I,:ING. To-day the Funds have been rather more dealt in, but. the quotations have not yet quite recovered what they lost yesterday, though, on the whole, more buoyant. It seems as though the cessation of purchasers was sufficient to occasion heaviness in Bank Stock, for which the quotation to-day was only 165.

The decrees of the Spanish Government, with re- • spect to the debt, have not prevented the Active Bonds from giving way ; and although they were a little better to-day, they still ranged below the quota tions of Saturday, being at 241- to 1.

The following letter addressed to Mr. Court, the active and intelli gent Secretary to the Underwriters' Association, will tend to allay any anxiety which the rumour may have created • " Cove, Jan. 29, 1841. " Dear Sir—l received yours of the 26th instant, and ac quaint you that I have seen the master of the Rapid, and got his answers to the queries. The steamerhe spoke was the Co lombia, the captain of which did not wish him to make any re port. Ile brought some letters from him, which were posted heie. The steamer sent her own boat with the provisions, and in which was a man (the master of the Rapid believes the boatswain) who mentioned to him as a cause for her going .o slow that the engines were partly damaged, so that they could not put the full power of steam on them. " This man did not name any particular part of the machinery. They first saw the steamer at 11 A.M. and got the supply about 2r. at. The crew of the Rapid made a signal to the steamer, when she came towards them. The supply received was one tierce of beef, one bag of bread, and about 121 b. of potatoes; inquired if the crew and passengers were all well; was in formed they were. Again says he did not appear to go more than about four knots. " These are, I believe, all the particulars you require. I can not help thinking, from the manner in wh:ch the report w•as made, that little apprehension of any serious injury to the steamer should be entertained by parties interested ; and that, in fact, it was some necessary operation of cleaning the flues, Ike. that was going on.

Six out of the seven men hare worked the whole time in sinking. They have cut through ten beds of coal, and one of cannel ; and, when at the depth of 180 yards, they stopped upwards of 3,000 gallons of water per hour, without lessening the diameters of the pits, which are ten feet each for the whole depth; The men have had the good fortune to finish their work without a single accident. On Monday week, the proprietors of the colliery gave the sinkers a very handsome present. - - TO MAKE DUTCH BEEF.—To ten pounds of lean beef take two ounces of saltpetre, one ounce of all spice, a quarter of a pound of common salt, a quarter of a pound of course sugar, an ounce of pepper, and about half a pint of water.

MORNING EDI7: I -ON. PROVINCIAL BANK OF In. -ELAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE 5L71,17. Parliament-street, Feb. 1, lb 11. Sin,—Your Paper of the 30th ult. contain,: a report of the proceedings of a meeting of Share holders of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, held: on the 28th ult., with remarks on my printed Circular (herewith enclosed) highly prejudicial to my character, and therefore I request that you will publish, in as conspicuous a manner as that of the report, the enclosed Correspondence, in order that the public may suspend their judgmen t until my explanation (which I am preparing) shall appear, and which I will send you when completed. Your obedient servant, CHARLES BARRY BALDWIN-. (Copy No. 1.) Parliament -street, Jan. :29, 1841. M dear Sir,—l have this instant taken up a paper (the Globc), in which there is a report of a speech made by you at a meeting yesterday of the Proprietors of the Irish Provincial Bank, on the subject of my Circular. I cannot suppose that it is correctly reported, but, under all circumstances, I cannot leave it in its present state without replying to it in as public a mode as your speech has gone forth to the world. However, prcvl.)us to taking any steps I should be glad to hear from you (without delay) whether it be correct, and if riot, in what passages the variations exist. Your's, &c. CHARLES BARRY BALDWIN. Oliver Ferrer, Esq. (Copy No. 2.) Linedn's-inn-fields, Jan. 30, 1841, Five &Clock. Dear I3aldwin,—Having read in the newspapers of to-day, a report of what I am stated to have said as Ch iirman of the Meeting of Proprietors of the Pro vincial Bank of Ireland, held on Thursday last, I must again express my deep regret that you were not pre sent at the Meeting, (as I think you ought to have been, for you could hardly expect that your Circu lar could pass unnoticed by the Proprietors) to hear what really occurred, as you would then have had the opportunity of forming your own judgment as to whether anything was ?aid by me which could be reasonably considered as personally offensive. Nothing which could bear such an inter pretation was said, and nothing could be further from my intentions. My soh' object was to exculpate the Court of Direc tors from the charges contained in your circular. The report of my speech contains fully as many in accuracies as are usually found in such documents, and in some instances attributes to me words and even whole sentences which I never uttered. At a full meeting of the Directors this morning we ordered such alterations to be made in the Report as to bring hack my speech as nearly as we could to what I actually did say. We stopped the transmission of the papers contain ing the inaccuracies, and have ordered an amended Report to be published in the newspapers on Monday, a copy of which will he forwarded to every Share holder. As Chairman it was my duty, called upon as we were, to put forward and comment strongly upon all the facts bearing upon the case ; this I endeavoured to do ; but, at the same time, I was studiously cautious not to attribute improper motives. I had no inclination to do so, and I am happy to add that every one of my colleagues, who were present, have assured me that in this respect at all events I succeeded. Yours ever sincerely, OLIVER FARRER. Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq. M.P. &c . &c. &c. (Copy No. 3 ) Parliament-street, Jan. 31, 1841. My dear Sir,—l received your letter last niO3t on my return home from a ♦ery late dinner party. I regret very much with you that I was not present at the meet ing in question, but, as I have already stated to you, I purposely absented myself to prevent any angry dis cussion. However, the point'at issue now is the publication of the proceedings which has prejudiced me so much among my friends, and no doubt more so with the public, that I am sure you will not object to my publishing our correspondence, as (to use your own words) " where, the poison has been dispersed I wish the antidote to find': its way." An answer by bearer will particularly oblige.., Yours, &c., CHARLES BARRY BALDWIN. Oliver Farrer, Esq. (Copy No. 4 Lincoln's Inn-fields, Ist Feb. 1811, 10 o'clock. Baldwin,—l have this moment received your note of yesterday's date, and although when I wrote to you hastily on Saturday, I had no expectatio:s that you could: wish to publish our correspondence, 1 do not see that I can object to your doing so if you think it will be of any advantage to vourselr. lied you pointed out the passages in the newspaper report which you objected to, I would without hesita tion have told you whether they were correctly given or not. 'file words quoted in your letter as an ex tract from my speech were never uttered by me. I wish you distinctly to understand that I deny having used them. The quotation is not applicable to asy thing that I said on the occasion in question, and should not in my opinion have been used, at all events not until you had seen the report in its corrected form. Tours, sincerely, OLIVER FARRER. Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., M.P. (Copy N0..5.) Parliament-street, Ist Feb., 18.11. Dear Sir,—As the incorrect report of the Irish Pr ovincial Bank Meeting has gone forth to the world, it is impossible, in justice to myself, that I can do other wise than publish the correspondence in question ; for, although you disavow " words, and even whole sen tences," I find that the corrected statement merely qua lities some of the expressions used. My objection was, and is still, to the tenour of the speeches, as it is impos sible that any one can peruse them without attaching to me a charge of having published a statement which I was not prepared to defend. The passage which I na turally quoted was decidedly one of the most objection able, and must have been noticed either in the way I hax e done it, or in the statement which I am preparing for publication. I am glad that you deny having used it, as there is no person of whom I entertain a higher opinion, or esteem more than yourself. I am, dear Sir, your's, sincerely, CHARLES BARRY BALDWIN.

Paynter and Co., the extensive cabinet-manufacturers, Finsbary.pavement, which has, we aro sorry to say, involved the tc, - tal destruction of that spacious building. The area occupied by it was almost an acre in extent, and the top of it was surmounted by a dome. The cause of the fire, our informant was told, arose from the boiling over of some varnish which was on a fire in one of the warehouses n hich were situated under the roof. The inflammable properties of the varnish, however, soon communicated to the other materials in the room, when it became soon evi dent that no human e ff or t could arrest tbo progress of the flames. The various engines from the different stations of the London Fire Brigade quickly arrived ; but water was not supplied with sufficient promptitude ; and in Cross. street, where the - back of the houses abut the premises of Messrs. Paynter, at a little before eleven o'clock there was no plug opened, And the firemen were calling for water. Long before eleVen o'clock, however, the whole of the Mess's.

" The snow drop," Mr. Forster remarks, " is almost proverbially con. stunt in its appearance on Candlemas-day ; and the mild ness and severity of the weather seem to make little differ ence in the time of its blowing. It comes up and flowers through the snow, and seems to evolve its white and pen dent flowers as if by the most determined periodical laws.
