The elevation. of the bronze statue of Nap(Nicion to its ,top—a height of upwards of 160 Ei3;s7lish feet, will be as superlative a spectacle as the hoisting up of the - gigantic horse into the walls and citadel of Troy.

The statue itself is of bronze, excell!ntly wrought, and weighs about six tons. It stands s: )out sixteen feet high, and is accounted an admirable like) less of Napoleon. • The boats destined for this boasted expedition were 'Lula in workshops upon the esplanade of the Hotel des Inv glides at Paris, and from thence conveyed to Boulogne.

SPA IN. sun embellished by Napoleon in 1804, who made for a time this town his general quarters for the arsenal and army, destined for tne invasion of England . An imm ense camp was established to the right and left of the port of Boulogne, from La Tour d'Ordre to Wimille, and from the summit of the mountain of Outreau to Portel. Eight demi-brigades of infantry of the line, two of light in ,fan try, and e i g h t compan i es of cannoneers, formed the bulk of the army which was about. to assemble itself. The first f,:w days the soldiers only bivouacked ; in a very little •ane, howeve r , the soldiers constructed b arrac k s as com modious as solid, with logs and boughs which they I, . brought in from the forest, the clods of the plain., and . the stones of .the s h ore . I t was i n t h e construction of these barra c k s , w hi c h engrossed all their mighty indus try, that th e woo d s were turned to every use—beds, clocks, stand s f or arms, crosses, doors; were all made from them with admi ra bl e d exter i ty. A French ch ron i c l e goes on to i nform us, that charm ing gard ens , fill e d w i t h fl owers of all seasons, of fruits and plants, were created by them, as if by enchantment. - They had there placed obelisks, columns, pyramids, and allegoric figures formed of clay, covered with shells from the sea-shore, and made with such art that they ap peared formed of the rarest marbles. The barracks of the offieers were every where as elegant and commodious as pleasure-houses. In their gardens there was wanting nothing to be desired. They saw their trees filled with the birds of the country, and sat beneath the trees in which they warbled ; others had court-yards admirably garnished with columbines and crowds of flowers. Finally the fields afforded them all the pleasures of a rural life. The officer; went in crowds to visit the older warriors, and, forgetting the terror on the Continent, made themselves modern Cincinnati, while they only waited the signal which was to bring to them new laurels, and to lead them against an enemy whom they hurntal---t", meet, whom they conk' see every day in their distant view, whose fires•they could discover during the night, and which they, as yet, could not extinguish. Bonaparte thus began in earnest to employ the vast means he had at his command, in the most unremitting exertions, and the most astonishing preparations for the invasion of Great Britain. To this attempt he was urged forward by every motive: Great Britain, exhausted in wealth and resources by the longest war, was at the moment of these renewed hostilities, through the appa rent improvidence of our Government, comparatively very weak in the number of her troops; while Bonaparte stood in a situation directly the reverse. His armies, ad mirably appointed and flushed with conquest, were more numerous than his deranged finances could well support. It was, therefore, undoubtedly sound policy in him, to venture considerable armies on an expedition which, if it succeeded, he knew would make him master of the world; and which failing, would nevertheless leave • him disencumbered of a dangerous and almost insupportable burden.

C pens at Half-past ten o'clock in the Morning, and Seven o'cli ck in the Evening. This morning the town and borough of Bradford were astounded with the report that their newly elected Mem ber, W. C. Lister, Esq., had died the preceding evening, at Addingham, near Skipton, and we regret to add that the report proved but too true. He died of rheumatic. fever after a very brief illness. This unlooked for event caused both political parties to be on the alert, and a meeting of the Liberals was held in their Rooms, Lucas road, at ten o'clock, Henry Lcah, Esq., in the chair, which was adjourned to six o'clock in the evening, at the Temperance Hall, and in the meantime a deputation was despatched to W. Busfield, Esq. of Upwood, (who it will be remembered sat for Bradford in the last Par liament), to confer with him on the subject. A meeting of the Tories was held at the Talbot, and it is said that a deputation has gone to Lancaster to in vite James Stuart Wortley, Esq., to become a candidate. Mr. Lister was a barrister in the prime of life, being in his 32(1 year, and elected by the Liberals of Bradford in the place of his father E. C. Lister, ps q . of Manninglum Hall, near Bradford.

It obviously becomes easy for a person of very moderate income to secure, by this arrangement, a provision for his family ; and should he at any time after effecting the insurance succeed to, or acquire, a fortune, he may relinquish his policy, havinr , only paid one half the•premiurns for the first five years, instead of the whole, as in all other Companies. Thus a man of 25 years old may, by an annual payment of 28/. 16s. 3d. for the first five years, and afterwards the full premium, 571. 12s. 6d. yearly, secure to his widow and children at his death payment of no less than 3,0001., sub ject only to the deduction of 1441. Is. 3d., being the amount of premium unpaid. On the Ist ('f July, the Board of Directors added 2 per Cent. per Annum as a Bonus to those assured upon the participating plan from the dates of their policies, thus appropriating 20/. a-year as an addition to every policy for 1,0001.

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is new presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very muc s improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended at, .d clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of f *were' new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily mereasz ng experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccousi table reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treat ed almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical pruititioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity . of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supine less , on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious e ff ec t s sure to result from the practices •of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time, devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseas ; of the necessity of so doing, they were further convinced by feeling that. tact in in vestigating the latent sources of re any diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can may be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to t his department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lung s. putting on all the outer appearances of consumptior, which , however, whe - a traced to their source, are found to result from certain bare !ful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in saying that there is no member of society by whom the book will not be found useful, whether sun person hold the relation of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman. This PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, i n conse queries of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find, that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &c., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits practised by youth intieh more frequently than it is at all suspected. 'the PRECEPTOR, also, who holds (temporarily at l eas t), the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often con cealed practices so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his pupils are sure to be corn- I 'promised, unless the evil be arrested in proper time. lie will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth, and a standard whereby to judge, when delicacy of health should appear to attack any of his young charges, what the real causes of such attack may be, and thus he will he enabled to check the evil in its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character is at once concentrated the two-fold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits to which youth is addicted ; he will also be enabled to point out the dia. estrous consequences which are sure to follow from them if not relinquished.

Borti HORNS BAD.—The poor tailor, in the following sketch from the " New Orleans Crescent City," fared no better on one horn of the dilemma than the other :—" Will you pay me my bill, Sir ?" said a tailor in Chartress-street, to a waggish fellow who had got into him about a foot. "Do you owe anybody anything, Sir ?" asked the wag. " No, Sir," said the tailor. " Then you can afford to wait !" and he walked off. A. day or two afterwards the tailor called again. - Our wag was not at his wit's end yet ; so, turning on his creditor, he says, " Are you in debt to anybody ?" " Yes, Sir," says the tailor. " Well, why the devil don't you pay ?" " Because I can't get the money." " That's just my case, Sir ; I am glad to see you can appreciate my. condition— give me your hand." 7 -New York Paper. Two brothers, named Elm, were once subpee naed on a trial. The first of them having been examined, the late Mr. Justice Park, from his venerable appear ance, was indnced to ask him his age, and received in reply, eighty years of age, my Lord. And how do you live? Very regular. And pray what do you make use of as your beverage ? Ten, and milk and water. His Lord ship, in reply, addressed himself to the counsellors thus —" There, gentlemen, there's a specimen for you of re gularity." The other brother was called, and from his ap pearance, the counsellors in the cause were induced to ask him his age, and were told he was eighty-three. And, pray, Mr. Elm, how do you live? Very regular, your ho nour; I go to bed drunk every night of my life. "There, there, my Lord, there's a specimen of regularity; what do you think of that, my Lord—eighty-three." " Ah ! gentlemen, Elm, wet or dry, lasts a long time," said his Lordship, gravely. Emigration is still going on to an immense ex tent from this port to South Australia.

I MANIFESTO OF THE SPANISH GOY ERNmENT I IN REPLY TO THE PROTEST OF MARIA It is now some time since th C HRISTINA. painted with the plans w tution were concertin .. 1 '.. Government became ac -1.41. ch the enemies of the Consti -6 as, their last hope of exciting a reactiontl s()t sought t aS Spain, . etext, end imagined they had found a In the frenzy of their passions suitable one. , . the aunt, orphans, the que4ten of the guardianship of the :.Quivn Dona Isabel IL, and 1 ?"' evfaria Louisa Fernanda, immediate successor to "I', throne. ' ' Through this question, however, alone they could not effect their wicked purposes without a leader, a centre of their party. Difficult, if not impossible, it was to find such a person in Spain, e and for this reason they had to seek one without the precincts of the kingdom. With this intent disaffected Councillors 'sur rounded an illustrious personage in a . foreign country to make themselves masters of her will ; and it is to be feared that others no less dis affected, residing in Spain, directed their efforts from hence to compromise that illustrious person, without considering the consequences which should, un der all circumstances, have been fatal to her. Without other object than the accomplishment of their own ambitious views, and realisation of their own desires of depriving the nation of those very institutions which they themselves accepted and approved at the hands of this same' llustrious personage —en short, not for any atten tention towards her, or \sigh to preserve those right s contended for, unless they tended to their own interest and aggrandisement, these men put into action all the means they supposed conducive to their ends. That such a scheme should have been hearkened to appears incredible. The Retyel word, pledged in per fect liberty and Yeti untatezer4eteennttedee-the - inter,peed tion of sacred rights—regards of the last importance— all tended to guarantee in the strongest manner the cer-., tainty of these plans, which could only lead to horrors and crimes, being rejected. It is difficult to conceive, indeed, how that august per sonage could .have lent herself to schemes as wicked as they were unworthy of the dignity, and contrary to her word of honour and dearest interests. The Government, notwithstanding, learnt that Spaniards, unworthy of the name, had succeeded in compromising her in not only an act unworthy of her, but completely in opposition to others, not very remote, cf her own, but also to violate the 1. we, th e sovere i gnty o f th e nation, the authority of the Cortes, and leg a lity of the Government. The latter neglected not for a moment the duty re quired by this new state of things. Well aware that the proposed scheme could only recoil upon its authors, the Government was of opinion that it was prudent to await the attempt to execute the plan, in order that punish ment might the more certainly fall upon them, and,the laws and Co r t es , w h om th e y p re t en d e d t o set at defiance, be fully vindicated. The imprudence of the parties concerned in this scheme has gone so far as to hurl amidst the people the protest of the Queen Mother, Dona Maria Christina de l3orbon, in contradiction of the solemn declaration made by the Cortes, that the guardianship of her august daughters was vacant, im contradiction of the appoint ment of the guardian, and in opposition to the interfer ence represented in that ill-advised document as having been exercised in these acts by the Regent of Spain and his Government. The situation of the country, the melancholy division yet existing between Spaniards, and consequent excita bility of the passions, entered, no doubt, as elements _ into the calculation of our enemies ; and reckoning upon these deplorable circumstances, have introduced into Spain, by means of foreign newspapers and printed eopie:4,. a document, which they looked upon as tl.e in tendlary torch which was to set the kingdom in fames. But the Government, whose strength increases with the diffiCulties and dangers with which it has been sought to surround them, neither fears these machinations, nor any others to which the enemies of the country think proper to have recourse, and are prepared in such a manner, that these attempts can only fall upon the authors of them. Having, first,, attended to the necessity of the pre servation of social order, the moment has arrived for re futing and repudiating with energy the false arguments upon which the protest has been based ; to vindicate the laws from the insults offered to them ; and protect the Cortes and the whole nation from the unmerited offence given to them. Spain and Europe will behold with astonishment a document as singular as it is inconsistent., as devoid of truth as it is destitute of circumspection and propriety.. But before treating of it in detail, it is necessary to premise that it not only protests against the declara tion of the Cortes that the guardianship is vacant, but in the letter Which accompanies it a new offence is added to the Cortes and the nation by not recognizing the Constitutional authority of the Supreme Head the State, and pretending to preserve the Que e n-other in that M position which she'before occupied, and which, contraxyta,t r he reitex,atevi.athis4l.4tl4. 4 444.-51?4 , .. had voluntarily resigned. This letter, addressed- to Ifiti Baldomero Espartero, might be considered private, if it did not contain an ex press command to him to have the document immediately published in the official Gazette of Madrid. - It was thus it was discovered that the letter was really directed to the Regent of the kingdom — a letter which, upon one hand, is addressed as private ; while, upon the other, it assumes the possession of an authority, on the part of the Queen Mother, which she did not possess since its voluntary 'abdication. In this pretension there is a novelty contradicted by the Queen Mother herself. As yet it is too soon to forget the well-known event.at Valencia direr Majesty's abdi cation, the address to the Cortes on the occasion, and the remonstrances of the Government appointed by her self, and of which I was then the President. The ma nifesto also published by her Majesty at Marseilles on the 4th of November last, must also be still fresh in the memory of all Spaniards, and at the conclusion of which she states thus :----" That she who had been Queen Low requested nothing more of the Spanish people than that they would love her children and respect her memory." And after declarations so explicit and voluntary, how can it be pretended to preserve still an authority renounced by the former act, and confirmed and recognised by her seif in the second ? Notwithstanding this, the letter just alluded to makes the Queen Mother say that the Regency was wrested from her. So palpable an inconsistency can only he accounted for, by keeping in view the plans of the instigators of this idea, and of the ruin and desolation of the empire. In this letter it is also asserted that every efibrt for a prudent arrangement of this question of the guardianship had been made, consistent with the dignity of the Queen Mother, but ineffectnally. It is but right the country should know what those proposals were which are here called prudent. ller proposal was, that the nomination of the guardians of the Queen should be left entirely to her, and upon this condition she offered to resign the office her self. This obviously amounted to holding the guardianship iniher own hands, which would be contrary to the Constitu tion, which grants to none but the Royal father, or to the Cortes, the right of naming the guardian of the Sovereign. In short, to comply with this proposal would be to arro gate those faculties which the nation had conferred upon its representatives alone. The Government, which exists in power by the will of the nation, and faithful to the ' Constitution and Cortes, could not admit such an uncon stitutional proposition, and which, on the other hand, disclosed objects sought to be concealed. And, finally, it should he also known that this much boasted proposal of conciliation implied the perpetual absence of the Queen Mother; and that all the negotiations with the Govern ment upon this subject assumed her Majesty's residing in a foreign country. The necessity of appointing- a guardian being thus created by her Majesty herself, why I should it be wondered at that the Cortes would comply with that necessity in the only way in which the 60th article of the Constitution ordains in the absence of a guardian named in the will of the Sovereign, or of the father or mother of the Roy a l m i nor w h en widows ? On coming to treat of the protest, it will be observ e d that it has been sought to make th is document a means of disturbing the tranquillity of the country, and that this war-cry has been raised by the august personage who de clared as follows, in her manifesto from Marseilles :—" I could have rekindled the civil war, but that mar, the ter mination of which had jaist given you the peace you de sired, ought not to be revived—a peace, too, based upon an oblivion of the past. For this reason, my maternal eyes turned away with horror from such a frightful pro posal, saving within myself, that when children are un grateful, it is better the parent suffer even to death than kindle civil war amongst them. Without remarking that the Spanish people have never been ungrateful to their Sovereigns, is it possible that in so short a time the mother of your Queen should have for gotten duties so plainly recognised, and that she should turn her eyes towards the horrible schethe of plungingyou in that civil war which she so lately asserted ought never to be revived? Yet so it appears, for the protest with her Maj . esty's advisers to re ki n dl e t hi s respect to the guardianship is but the torch desi gne d f or that purpose b 3, civil war, and which might have taken effect had the spark not fallen amongst a people distinguished for their good sense. It has never been denied that the late Ring, Ferdinand the Seventh, had appointed his august wife as the guar= dian and protectress of his illustrious children; but it cannot either be denied that these august Princesses, the one as Queen and the other as heiress-apparent of the Throne, belong to the nation, and that their being is so intimately connected with the political system of the Constitution, that the one cannot be separated from the other. For this reason the Constitution provides for the care of these august persons, places them under the pro tection of the nation, and charges its legitimate represen tatives with the selection of a guardian to see duly admi nistered that care and protection. Taus the question of the guardianship. became to be. limited to the consideration , whether the augu s t m i nors ; becau se , if o n ce s h own such prote c ti on , i t t h en became the duty of the Cortes to provide them w i t h it by r t h e g ht u edv this did p s t r: l t i e d c in o needr not 0 f. the appointment of a guardian. this question her Ma jesty herself decided, when in perfect liberty in a foreign country, she stated, in her address at Marseilles, "I have thrown the sceptre from my hands, and abandoned my children !" Abandoned her children undoubtedly were ; and in want of this protection, they required that the Cortes would provide it for them, in the appointment of a guar dian. In this state of the question, the will of Ferdinand VII was to no purpose. it neither provided, nor could provide, this protection far the august minors. It is also in vain to refer to the laws of Partida in the case—laws which, chiefly referring to • cases of ordinary life, can have no application in cases of Princes. The question of the guardianship. supposing the opi nion of the august minors being without proper protec tion to be well founded, and, omitting other various considerations, was in the same state as if Ferdinand VII. had never appointed a guardian—in the same state, in short, as if the august minors had neither mother nor Queen Mother, but were in the state for the Cortes to appoint them a guardian. Fur these reasons the Cartes performed one of the most important duties imposed upon them by the Con stitution ; and, f ar f r om havir,a exceeded the powers al lowed them by that instrument, their conduct was r gulated exactly by it. So also is it to be inferred ti the declaration of the Cortes is no forced or vio'.ent usurpation of fac u lti es , as asserted in the protest, but the legal exercise of those conferred upon them by the Constitution. Other charges and declarations are also made against the Government. The first of these is limited to the as sertion of their having interfered with the Queen Mother in the exercise of her authority over the; Royal patri mony, by the appointment of agents for this purpose. The Royal minors being, as confessed by herself, ahaTaa; doned by their mother, as also were the household rind Royal estates left without a head ; and as the Cartes, whose duty it was to supply this deficiency, wa se not 'then assembled, it became the duty of the Govern men t, and a duty of the fulfilment of which they may be justly proud, to afford the necessary protection to a pro perty which could not have been attended to by one re siding in a foreign country. What could have been meant by the disaffected advisers of the Queen Mother in thus insisting on leaving the Royal Patrimony in this aaiataaatale.atipaniali. people will be able to judgea.• • - - With respect to the second charge made against the Government, that they meddled in the settlement of the question of the guardianship, and that consequently they neither respect laws nor policy, the allegation is false, inasmuch as the Government neither interfered, nor exercised any authority whatever in the settlement of that question. From the moment at which the Govern ment took the precaution of appointing joint-adminis trators of the Royal household and patrimony, !as re commended with propriety by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice, the Government interfered in no manner what ever with the administration of the household oa patri mony, either by the appointment or removal of officers, before or after the Queen Mother's departure fr am Spain. It will be thus seen that the Government ex arcised no faculties in the ease, and that the measure: taken by them can be justly viewed only as precwitionary or provisional. And, in short, so far were the Govern ment from arrogating the faculties presumed in the set tlement of the guardianship, that after they had referred the claims of one of the Royal Family to itato the proper tribunal, they left 'the whole matter to th a wisdom of the Cortes to deal with it as they thought fitting ; and for the same reasons the Government, when the subject was taken up by the Cortes, took no active part what ever in it. With this I presume I have aaid enough to prove - how unfounded are the charges in the protest against the Government. So weak, indeed, are the arguments, and contradic tory the statements in the protest, that it will be seen at once that it has • only been sought as a pretext to insult the sovereignty of the nation, and the Cortes which re present it ; to provoke pernicious dissenslons, and to re turn to the state we were in for years before. The nation, which has with so much constancy and energy defended the institutions which now rule the country, shall ever look with horror upon such a pro spect. The Government, which has sworn to defend at all risks the Constitution, will be faithful to its oaths, re pelling attacks upon it, from whatever quarter they pro ceed, or whatever appearances they assume. Those who dare to attack the fundamental law, the authority of the Cortes, to disturb the public tranquillity, to frustrate the blessings of a peace acquired at such an expense, and to renew those scenes not yet forgotten, shall be pro secuted and punished with the utmost rigour of the law. To conclude, confide in the vigilance of the Govern ment. The efforts of the conspirators shall prove abor tive; the infernal pleasure of againinVolving us in anarchy and civil war they shall not enjoy ; great interests and honourable compromise support the Constitution ; my authority is your safeguard; and the Government, with the aid of the laws, a valiant army, the National Guard, and of public opinion, doubt not to tritruph over the enemies of the happiness of the country. ^ THE DUKE DE LA VICTORIA.

All Boulogne is in a ferment in anticipation' of the grand doings which are to take place next com mencing with Sunday. People are arriving in crowds Isy-lowatv , bieats and and Generals out of number, will be present on the solemn occasion, and as this celebrated column, and the circum stances which gave rise to it, are intimately connected with the history of England, the following account will be found interesting :—The column stands at about the distance of half a league from the Haute Vine, or Upper Town of Boulogne, and on the right of the road to Paris, situated in a quadrangle of about two acres. The shaft of the column is constructed of a species of white marble, discovered at Marquise, the quarries of which are in the neighbourhood. Originally it was intended to have adorned the pedestal with military and naval trophies ip .bronze, and a large eagle of the same metal was to have occupied each of the four corners. The identical circumstance, also, which is now about to come to pass—that of placing at the top a colossal statue of the Emperor in his robes—was absolutely meditated at the very first, but while the work was slowly advancing, those great political changes took place, which led to the re establishment by the people of the old throne, and ac cordingly the column was terminated by a gilded globe, surmounted by a small'crown, and having on its circum ference, in the direction of the four cardinal points of the compass, the star of the Legion of Honour. The first stone was laid on the 9th of November, 1804, in the presence of 150,000 military veterans, by Marshal Soult, assisted by a grenadier of each regiment. It con sisted of an immense block of marble, upon which was engraved the following inscription • . " The,first Stone of the Monument, decreed By the Army of the Expedition of Boulogne and the Flotilla, to the Emperor Napoleon, Laid by Marshal Soult, Commander:in-Chief, 18 Brumaire, year 13 (9th November, 1804), Anniversary of the Regeneration of France." In this stone was inclosed a leaden box, with a book containing an account of the design of the erection, with the name of each subscriber in regiments. At the commencement of July, 1821, when the column was, almost completed, M. le Baron Simeon, Prefect of the Department, accompanied by all the authorities, as cended the column, and placed the Royal ordonnances for completing the structure, and the minutes of the ce remony, with a bottle containing various coins, in the key-stone of the cupola. Among the coins was a medal, having on one side the head of Louis XVIII., and on the reverse the following inscription : -" This - Column voted by the Army assembled at Boulogne, from whence it menaced England, was begun in 1804. Having become a Monument of Peace by the Restoration of the Bourbons to the Throne, it has been finished under the auspices of his Majesty Louis XVIII., and is dedicated as a Remembrance (always dear to Frenchmen), of his happy Return to this country in 1814. The last stone was placed 2d July, 1821, (M. le Comte Simeon being Minister of the Interior), by M. le Baron Simeon, Prefect of the Department of the Pas de Calais, Labarre, Architect." • This elegant column is erected upon a square pedestal, to which the ascent is by a flight of steps on each of its sides, and, taken as - a piece of architecture, it is consi dered highly beautiful, being modelled upon the cele brated Trajan column at Itme. It is of the Doric or der, and has a projecting column near the summit. Its altitude is about 150 French feet ; the pedestal upon which it stands is upon a raised platform, and beyond the base of the platform is a low wall with an opening to the east, where, on two projecting parts, are the statues of two lions, finely executed in bronze. From the gallery there is a most charming panoramic view of the sea and the country. Dover, with its cliffs and ancient castle, appear to the north ; and in a north-easterly direction, Mount Cassel in the Department du Nord may be clearly seen. Various representations have been made as to the direct occasion upon which this column was constructed, and though the broad and ostensible reason generally adduced was, that it emanated from Napoleon himcelf, to commemorate his projected descent upon England, yet others, on the contrary, state that it was the voluntary and exclusive act of the soldiery to show their respect and attachment to Napoleon ; though, undoubtedly, had it not been for the above project, the memorial would not have been erected in its present place. It will be remembered that one of Napoleon's favourite designs upon England was that of invading the island itself, and so strike a fatal blow at the heart of his greatest enemy. In 1804, troops to the amount of 160,000 were mustered in camps along the French and Dutch coasts, and vast flotillas, meant to convey them across the Channel, were formed, and constantly m a .. neeuvred in various ports, that of Boulogne being the chief. It was in this port that Julius Caesar prepared his first expedition against England, the year 35 before our era. By little and little the name Gesoriacum, which it then had, disappeared in Bononia, wh ence later licultyne. Under the reign of Francis th e Fi rs t, H enry VIII, King . of England, took this city with the naked swo r d ; it then sustained eight assaults, and many successive attacks, when the inhabitants capitulated in Sept. 13, 15 44. Th e English remained masters of Boulogne to 1550, an epoch w h en Edward the Sixth restored this town to France, upon pa yment of 400,000 crowns. Charles the Fifth de stroyed it, de fond en comble, in 1553, after a siege of six weeks. The port, of Boulogne l formed by two large _ basins,'joined together by a beautiful quay, and defended by many forts, was thus, as we before observed, aggrandised • Well aware that every effort would be employed to increase the military strength of Great Britain after the , war, he commenced and nearly completed, with a de ; spatch perhaps unexampled in history, the most im mense armament ever destined for the invasion of any country. Despairing of being able to raise the French marine to an equality with that of Britain, he conceived the mighty project of rapidly constructing and uniting at Boulogne, a flotilla capable of conveying an army sufficiently powerful to attempt the invasion and conquest of England. He had satisfactorily ascertained that any number of French gun-boats * could sail with perfect safety along their own shores, and reach, under the protection of their numerous batteries, that port, where once arrived, they were equally safe from hostile attack. Boulogne was therefore made the centre and head-quar ters of his vast preparations, and the point from which he meditated forcing the passage of the English Channel The national vanity, and national prejudices of France, encouraged the project ; and as no circumstance could flatter the pride, or increase the power of France, so much as the conquest of England, the hope held eut by its attainment, inclined most of the Continental Powers to consider Great Britain as already subjugated. No truth could be more clear at the time than that the' conquest of Britain would have given Bonaparte uni versal empire, and when England escaped that calamity she owed it, under the Divine Providence, to that spirit of rational liberty and genuine patriotism in the inhabi tants of this isle, on which her Government found, in the moment of danger, that the most unbounded, confi dence could be placed. Had the men of our kingdom acted under despotic rule, our island could scarcely hare escaped the danger with which it was menaced, while, at the same time, its population could not afford to maintain a rraval superiority, or to keep up a regular force to cope with the immense armies of France. The spirit of that lofty freedom, which has fur ages animated the British nation, made, however, ample amends for every deficiency, and baffled the calculations, and faistrated the object of the immense preparations of Bonaparte. A vast army of volunteers was imme diately formed in our kingdom, for the additional security of the empire ; and there can be no doubt, from the spir,i,t nod tvlinsiasm iii 11,4.144,,Atat..syste_m waii ena. bailWer that Such an :auxiliary force, in conjunction with , the regular troops, and the invaluable militia of the country, would have been sufficient to repulse any force which France could spare, or her flotilla convey. All the Menaces and preparations of France, indeed, pro duced no other effect than to consolidate and strengthen the defensive system of our island, and teach her to know and feel her own strength and security, and grandeur. Still it must be allowed that no little trepidation ex isted in English hearts at the expected invasion, and Hazlitt has painted these qualms with due effect. He thus speaks:— " While Bonaparte's projected expedition was viewed with various sentiments at home, and was ridiculed by many as childish and extravagant, from a comparison of the gun -boats with the size of the British men-of war, it caused a great deal of bustle and alarm (serious or affected) on this side the Channel. All our fleets were put into requisition, from . the Baltic to the Tagus, from the Tagus to the coasts of Sicily. Upwards of five hun dred ships of war scoured around the shores. By land the hubbub and consternation was not less. Britain armed from one end to the other to repel the threatened invasion. An army of volunteers sprung up like grass hoppers. Every hill had its horseman; every bush or brake its sharpshooter. Petitions were put into our Liturgy to deliver us from an insolent and merciless foe, who was about to swallow us up quick;' nor was there a church-door in the remotest corner of Great Britain on which was not posted a call on high and low, rich and poor, to bestir themselves in the common defence, pro ceeding from Cobbett's pen. What a difference between that period and the present! France seemed then to rear up and enlarge its vaunted power, as if it would fall and crush us; the revolutionaay hydra haunted and took sleep from our eyes; now we can sca rce ly fi n d i ts faded form in the map, ad it is no more to us than if it had never existed, or than if the waters of the Channel had rolled their briny ooze over it." Among the soldiers of the old time, the chief reason alleged for the erection of this Column was to commemo rate Napoleon's distribution of the first decoration of the Legion of Honour, which took place on the plain at Bou logne in August 15, 1804. This distribution was used by Napoleon as a means of exciting the enthusiasm of the assembled army, and to dispose them to obey promptly the.l first give. The distribution of th e Honours signal st ookpl h ac e e m c ig na ht vast plain near the site of the Column ; a little hill formed the throne of Napoleon in the mdst of his soldiers ; there he stationed himself with his Staff, and around this centre of glory, the regiments were drawn up in lines, like so many divergin g rays. From this throne, which had been erected by the. hand of nature, Napoleon delivered a form of oath, which was the signal for a general burst of enthusiasm. The Emperor was in ecstasy. "Fortune," says De Bourrienne, " then seemed obedient to his wishes. A storm came on during this brilliant day, and it was apprehended that part of the flotilla would have suffered. Bonaparte quitted the hill from which he had distributed the crosses, and proceeded to the port to direct what mea sures should be taken, when upon his arrival the storm ceased as if by enchantment. The flotilla entered the port safe and sound, and he went back to the camp, where the sports and amusements prepared for the soldiers com menced ; and in the evening the brilliant fire-works which were let off, rose in a column, which was distinctly seen from the rEsanyh the old survivors coast."gelristhhanthe attempt It Was to comm emora t e t G h ! s nd sp ar e l c n t e a r c i l e, e, at of the Guard and at invasion, which caused the Column to be erected, and by the new inscrip tions which are now to be carved on the east and west sides of the pedestal, this statement is at once con firmed : INSCRIPTION ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE PEDESTAL. - SYR • CE ' RAVAGE NAPOLEON • EN • PRESENCE ' DE • LA • GRANDE • ARMEE DISTRIBVA ' LES • DECORATIONS • DE • LA • LEGION D'HONNEVR AVE • SOLDATS • AVE • CITOYENS QVI • AVAIENT BIEN ' MERITS ' DE • LA • PATRIE LE • X IIIE • COMMANDS • PAR ' LE • MARECHAL ' SOYLT ET •LA FLOTTE • SOVS • LES 'ORDRES •DT •CONTRE •AMIRAL SRVIEX VOTLVRENT PERPETVER • LE • SOVVENIR , DE • CETTE • lOVRNEE • PAR VN • MONVMENT LOVIS • PHILIPPE I.

" Wishing to perpetuate the remembrance of this day by a monument, Louts Philippe 1., King of the French, finished this Column, consecrated by the Grand Army of Napoleon."

Sin,•—.ln this quiet little parish nothing has occurred for a long time to interrupt the harmony happily pre vailing between Churchmen and Dissenters. Our late parson was not a man to trouble himself with the re ligious -opinions of his parishioners. The only thing that ever disturbed his equanimity was the Bishop in sisting on his preaching two sermons every Sunday. This ruffled him with a vengeance. But he is gone, and whether the recent change is in favour of religion or not, it certainly cannot he said to have brought any increase of charity along with it. Oa the contrary, the demon of intolerance has now made his appearance, and the dominant sect, according to well-established precedent, has invoked the secular power for the purpose of op pression. _ The usual preliminaries having been carefully gdne through by the churchwardens; Messrs. Charles - Tooks and Joseph Stone, with the assistance and advice of the clergyman of the parish, the Rev.

It is proper you should know, Sir, that the village of Walditch is about a mile from the town of Bridport, but :he part of the parish where these seizures were mode lies close to the town, and by the Reform Bill was in cluded within the borough. Furthermore, all these officials are Tories, and all the sufferers Liberals, who warmly supported Messrs. Warburton and Mitchell at the late election. Add to this, that the time selected to make the seizures was soon after the galling defeat the Tory party sustained, and then say if the question does not naturally arise—" Is the Church to be converted into an engine for the gratification of political revenge ?" Surely, even reflecting Churchmen themselves, who wish well to the Establishment they belong to, must grieve to witness such disgraceful proceedings perpe trated under a hypocritical pretence of promoting re ligion, but in reality as utterly opposed to the benign spirit of Christianity, whose ruling principle is " 1)0 unto others as ye would that others should do unto you," as light. is to darkness.: I am, Sir, your obedient Serrant, Walditch, near Bridport, Aug.l3, 1841.

Strand, were aroused from their beds in their night dresses, and thrown into the utmost alarm and excitement, by their bed-rooms and other parts of their houses bring filled almost to suffoca tion with a dense smoke, which also issued up the areas into the street in complete volumes. The policeman in stantly hastened to Chandos-street fire-station for the immediate assistance of the fire-engines and brigade men, who promptly arrived, under the superintendence of Mullett, the engineer, when the fire was discovered to be in some extensive stabling beneath' the houses in the dark arches of the Adelphi, in which were many loads of loose straw deposited, adjoining to which is a long. range of stabling, in which were between 20 an d 30 valuable cart-horses, besides 14 cows, all of which with great difficulty were got out. So dense was the smoke, that for some time it was totally impossible for the firemen to approach, but at last the fire-engines were got into operation. It about an hour and a half all fears were subdued by the exertions of the firemen. Nearly the whole of the straw is destroyed, but the flames were prevented reaching the adjoining range of fromthe strawa Lucifer nd matchl7 a lwsv otihtionhi ceshmmifoi ignited, extensiveihtseoo d l u m, 'eail lid stabling.

It is the intention of the inhabitants to so licit the Commissioners of Police to place constables in those parts of the dark arches, to prevent a recur rence of such danger. It was only on Saturday last 17 were apprehended sleeping in the same place, and all committed to the House of Correction for various periods. The Address in the House of Lords, in reply to her Majesty's Speech on the opening of the new Par liament, will, we understand, be moved by Earl Spencer and be seconded by the Marquis of Clanricarde.
