We are r read; obliged to our numerous correspondents who have sent from every part of the country ac counts of election movements, with the results. We have made the best use of them we could, but to pub lish. them was impossible.

' - Neither do we object, 'as we have on more than one occasion said, to the wives and mothers of England taking part in politics, but it becomes them to take the side of humanity and charity. They must not sacrifice the feelings, of woman hood to a theory,, nor side with power against the suffering people for the preservation of an abstraction. The lives of the people are of more importance even than the Constitution, and much more importance than the Corn••laws. If any ladies, led by a mistaken party zeal, side, like Dr. HOOK and others of the clergy, with the op pressors of the people, they must not be sur prised should even their claims to universal ho mage fail, in a time of excitement, to disarm the hatred of savage hunger. It has happened that ladies' heads have been carried about streets on poles, or trailed in the dirt; and it has happened, sufficiently within recol lection to serve both for a warning and an example, that a priesthood has been compelled to find safety in flight, and those who braved_ the popular indignation forfeited their lives to their temerity. In whatever lands such scenes have occurred, or may occur, all the injuries and insults, we are aware, which a hallowed sex and a sacred calling have been perverted to heap on the people, have been forgotten, and one universal sympathy has been felt for the outraged females and the outraged clergy. Such a final result is, we ate afraid, too likely to make all classes forget some of the earliest links in the chain of which that was the end. But in the moral, as in the phy sical world, events are closely connected by the chain of causation, and the great multitude no more does violence to its own nature, and loses sight of its innate respect for the mothers and teachers of mankind, without some sufficient reason, than an apple falls to the ground, or the moon wends her way in the hea vens. To see those who pass their days in ease and opulence, who have all their wants supplied by the unceasing exertions of the hardy sons of toil, solicitous to narrow their reward, and grind them down to poverty, to servility, and degradation, is to all rightly-constituted minds as shockingly disgusting as the slavery of the United States. When we find such an - unamiable disposition in the hard and griping dealers in money, it can - not be too much censured; but when ladies and clergymen take the same side, and cheer on the unhallowed bread-taxers in their guilty career, the moral world seems to us turned up side down, and we dread lest it can only be righted by some terrible convulsion. LONDON: SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1841 It seems still necessary, long and earnestly as Colonel THOMPSON and several other acute writers and lecturers have dwelt on the subject, to disabuse the multitude of the notion that cheap and abundant corn is synonymous with low wages. That the working classes should, to any extent, have adopted that fallacy, is a matter of surprise, but that they should have greedily swallowed it, when taught-and enforced by their old enemies, the Tories, whose whole political existence has had for its object to im poversh, degrade, and coerce the labouring classes into the most servile submission, has astonished even those who know them best, and have, through a long life, taken a deep in terest in their welfare. But they would not have been so deceived had the doctrine not had a Radical origin. It was put forward first by one who professed the warmest zeal in behalf of the labourers, conjoined with politics of an ultra, or republican character. Under the shield of a humble newspaper writer, without acknowledging their obligations, Tory Review ers, Pamphleteers, and Journalists have fought their battle concerning wages, and have obtained more success than .was anticipated. We are glad, therefore, to see new antagonists and their old antagonists again taking the field; and we recommend to public attention the extract we elsewhere insert, from a pamphlet by a Mr. THORNTON, who is, we believe, a new antago. nist, while we shall place here a portion of Mr. VILLIERS' address to his constituents at Wolver hampton, who is one of the staunchest, and on this point one of the oldest, antagonists the , Tories have : Mr. llrmE has been rejected at Leeds. The most useful man of the House of Commons has' been repelled by a constituency composed of ma nufacturers, which invited him to offer himself as a candidate to represent their borough. We are sorry to see the folly and ingratitude of that great manufacturing community, and can find for it n . explanation or excuse. A better servant no constituency can have—a servant more suit able to the free-trade-loving and bread-taxed-in jured manufacturers of Leeds, could not be found. Yet Mr: HumE has been rejected. The contest, which isreally onebetween free-trade and shack le d trade—between justice and oppression—between right and wrong—has unfortunately been made to turn on the respective merits of Whig and Tory; a ad Mr. IlumE has probably been rejected on account of the inefficiency of the Whigs, which ke has not been able to prevent. Leeds will, ere. long, regret this more than Mr. HumE, who must, on the whole, be pleased, we think, at his time. of life, to be honourably released from longer serving an ungrateful public. If he be not tired of such a task, there is yet an opening for him in Middlesex. The noble spirit displayed in Marylebone and the Tower Hamlets, notwithstanding the base and. sordid trickery of the City, and the loss of Westmin ster by unforgivable carelessness and overweening confidence, convinces us that Mr.W oo h—Colonel WOOD, we think the man is called—is not se cure for Middlesex, if an exertion be made to- unseat him. It may not be compatible with Mr. 1-1113tE'S wishes and views to offer himself as a candidate, but it is incumbent on the . electors of Middlesex to put him up, and carry him triumphantly into Parliament. By so doing, they will retrieve the damaged reputation of the metropolitan districts, and show Leeds, with all its boasting, that the metropolis knows better than it how to honour worth, and reward long tried public services. We have observed that the Vicar of Leeds, Dr. Hoox, took an active part in the contest. He hastened home from the foot of the Alps, he said, the instant he heard of the dissolution ; and he hastened to Leeds, to throw the whole weight of his influence into the Tory scale. We do not object to cler gy men min g lin g in politics. On the contrary, we think it their duty to inter fere with.xneti in all their relations, so far as ad vising and counselling them goes; but it is M dispensible that they take the moral and the just side. In one 'of his latest pamphlets, the Rev. THOMAS SPENCER says — „How can they be without excuse who, in the midst of a pauperised and drunken poor, and with legal di shenesty and political turpitude amongst the rich,instead o f " warning every man and teaching every man after the manner of the Apostle, are content with the applause of an admiring audience. Surely the same responsibility a tta,ehes i to them as to the prophets of old if they are wanting in fidelity—" When I Lay unto the wicked, thou Slialt surely die ; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his ini quity ; but his blood will I require at thine hand." When external profession takes the place of real piety — when indiscriminate almsgiving usurps the province of judicious benevolence—when indolence feeds on State pensions or on parish pay ; when Members of Parlia ment, elected by bribery and intimidation, yet falsely pretending to be the representatives of the people, uphold oppressive laws ; and when the degraded multitudes be take themselves to the intoxicating cup for comfort, then is the command given to every minister of religion, " Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet and show the people their transgression ;" then to the clergy who receive the tithes, and to the Dissenting mi nisters who receive the pew rents from the congregations to whom they speak smooth things, and from whom they keep back all faithful admonitions, the language of Scripture is, " Thus saith the Lord God unto the shep herds, woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves ! Should not the shepherds feed the flock ? Ye cett the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed ; but ye feed not the flock. the dis eased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up• that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away,. neither have ye sought that which was lost ' • but with force and with c rue lty h ave ye ruled them. My flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them." Our charge against Dr. Hoox, and those who take the same views, is, that they maintain and uphold oppressive and unjust laws; they lift up their voices in favour of injustice, they urge un the tyrant in his tyranny, and administer ap probation to his seared conscience ; they fleece the poor instead of feeding them, to fatten them selves. They should be the protectors of the Above [all (says Mr. Villiers) do I feel proud, as your representative, that you have been proof against the idle things that have been said to you to shake you in your opinion, and to induce you to think well of laws maintained for the purpose of making a few men rich at the expense of the many.—(Cheers.) You have seen through the dishonest purpose for which they' have been uttered, and you have treated them with the scorn they deserve.(Hear, hear.) You have not believed that stupid lie, that abundance of food will make your con dition worse, or, as they call it, give you bad wages.— (Hear, hear.) You were not cheated by the idle non sense that tells you, that less food in a country was better than more.(Cheers.) You know too well what has been the effect of dear food on your trade, and on your wages.—(Cries of " We do !") You can settle that question by the answer you give to the question, Are your wages good now ?—(Loud cries of " No, no • bad !") Is your trade good now ?—(No, no.) Is food dear now ?—(Yes, yes.) Have you got the Corn laws now ?—(Yes, we have.) Well, then, suppose you had had a doubt as to whether scarcity was a blessing, as they tell you, and abundance a curse, it might be worth while to change the Corn-laws, if it was only for mak ing the experiment of plenty.—(Cheers and laughter.) But you are not such dolts as to be gulled by such rub bish. You know, as all men who have brains in their heads do know, that mens' wages depend upon the de mand for them, not upon the price of bread ; and you know better than I can tell you what the difference is between five men seeking one master, and five masters seeking one man—(" We do, we (16," and loud cheers) —and you know that free trade means more trade, which means more demand for men, which means the time when men can get more wages.—(" Right," and cheers.) That'is putting an important truth in a homely and useful way. Had our cause a few more such sturdy champions as Mr. VILLIERS, our success would be speedy ; at present it is assured, though the day of triumph may be distant. The decree of a majority cannot turn wrong into right, and no number of monopolists, however overwhelm ing, can give the bread-taxers the security that agitation on the subject is at an end. To add our mite to the heap we have bor rowed, we must observe that it is quite sickening to find the hypocritical Tories, the constant ad vocates of impressment, corporeal punishment, disfranchisement, and every hard, brutal punish ment and treatment which degrades the people, opposing the abolition of the Corn-laws, because a free trade with Germany and Russia will re duce, as they say, our labourers to eat black bread like the Germans. Our toil-worn millions might, and would, heartily rejoice, were they as wel l fed, clothed, and housed as thos e black bread-eaters.The people at the same time can not forget, though the bread-taxers seem to forget it, that the abolition of the law, which would extend our commercial intercourse with the serfs of Poland would also extend it with btheafdreies men of the United S tates . Th ere w hi te re abundant and cheap, and there wages are twice or thrice as high as in England. While the Tories pretend to fear lest the degradation of the Polish serfs should be the lot of our people o from free - tr ade, their real apprehension, we pl e b e to - lieve is, lest free trade should r a i se our pe greater probability the T dignity l o th f d t o h h e b A t e m d l e y r i m c a u n e s. b of our drawing large supplies of food from the United States than from Germany or Russia. In these latter countries all the land is occupied, and enterpriSe is comparatively unknown. From the settled habits of the people there is no pro bability that any demand for food from England, however extensive, would prompt them greatly to improve and extend their cultivation. In the former country much of the soil is yet unappro priated, and yields abundantly ; the people are enterprising and are pushing cultivation in every direction ; it is especially adapted to their situa tion and manners. If free commercial inter course, therefore, is to bring the labourers of dif ferent nations to the same level, it is much more likely to raise the English to the condition of the American than lower it to that of the Polish serfs. Already, as our readers are probably well aware, the United States take more of our pro i ducts than the whole_ of the North of Europe, , _ • poor, and the smiters of the oppressor; but they league themselves with the strong and the wieLed, to crush the honest and the weak. When the clergy take part in' politics, they ought to take the right side. To unite them selVes with the bread-taxers, is to direct the including the Netheilands, the inhabitants of which are certainly not worse off than the people of England. In 1836, according to Mr. PORTER, the exports to the •United States were of the declared value of 12,425,0001., while the exports to the North of Europe were only 9,999,000/. The United States is a rapidly pro gressing country, Germany is not ; and, with free trade, our traffic with the United States would undoubtedly increase much more rapidly than our trade with Germany. This is what the Tories'are afraid of ; and they have laboured to humbug and terrify the people with the black bread a Germany, in order to prevent them from sharing the abundant white bread and high wages of the United States. Above all things they dread lest extended intercourse with America should inspire our enslaved labourers with a desire for greater feedom, and means of obtaining it. The working classes have listened to the Tory falsehoods; they have again believed their old enemies and betrayers, and have not demanded cheap bread because the Tories told them that would bring low wages. In the course of his speech at the close of the Westminster election, Mr. LEADER said, " There was a large and influential body of electors, the Licensed Victuallers, opposed to the Government, and whe, therefore, furnished Westminster with • a Tory candidate." Mr. LEADER and the Government have found out the truth too late. The cruel treatment of pub- licans, and those who frequent their houses, under certain provisions of the Police Act, passed last Session, have alienated from the Go vernment probably one half of their supporters in London and 'Westminster. However strong may be a man's political principles, these must give way to personal interest and convenience ; and when it is admitted by all, except some of the Police Magistrates, that publicans and trades men were harassed beyond endurance by the wilful misconstruction of one of the clauses of that Act, without serving any one useful pur pose, can Mr. LEADER and Colonel EVANS and the Government, be surprised that the electors have taken vengeance at the election for this wanton interference with their liberty? We know several "publicans who were fined by Mr. HALL, the Chief Magistrate of Bow-street, 51. each for serving refreshments a few minutes after twelve on Saturday night policr... men entered the houses of the most respee.able licensed victuallers, like the Bens Grmes of France. Nay, they did what never was done in France, they acted the part of eves-droppers, peeped through the key-holes, reported to the Magistrates that they heard people talking, and saw them drinking; and the Magistrates, in due course, inflicted a penalty. These, however, were not the only grievances of which the people had to complain. The theatres in Westminster, as is well known, are barely over on Saturday night by twelve, but no refreshment could be had at a public house for the hundreds that left the houses parched with thirst, and repeatedly have we heard the most violent imprecations uttered against those who so cruelly and so uselessly in terfered with the comforts of the people. Did the Members for Westminster take any steps to remedy the evil? None. Are we then to be surprised that they were to be regarded by such apathy by some, and with such dislike by others, that an aristocratical Tory, totally unknown to them, should have been placed triumphantly at the head of the poll ? The framers of :this ob noxious clause never contemplated the mode in which it has been carried into effect; and so ashamed are the Magistrates, who were the most violent in enforcing the utmost penalty, of their impolitic and atrocious decisions, that houses are now kept open till one o'clock, and no inspector or policeman ventures to interfere. But the evil has been consummated. The Government has, we verily believe, lost two votes in London and RAILWAY SHARES.

No Bourse. CONFESSIONS AND. REITERATED FALSEHOODS - OF THE "TIMES."--In the Times of to-day is the following para graph, speaking of Mr. Roebuck's speech at Bath : " The first thing we have to do, in criticising this speech, is an act of justice—namely, to state that Mr. Roebuck disavows the placard (upon which we have commented more than once) in which he was represented as offering to relieve the people from the national debt by the sum mary process of the sponge. Mr. Roebuck disavow.; not only the placard, but its principle. It is, of course, unneces sary for us to state, that our information concerning this placard was derived f r o m a source w hi c h we sup p ose d to be credible • nor were we aware that it had hem con tradicted till we read Mr. Roebuck's speech in a Go vernment paper on Thursday last. There is nothing in the Hon. Gentleman's political creed which could have led us to regard his adoption of such a placard as at all improbable or inconsistent." Ten days after the true nature of that placard had been pointed out. in this Journal, the Times, having in the interim, twice charged its 'contents on the Radical Member, admits that it twice told falsehoods. How candid and how honest. Who will believe in the teeth of such a confession that it does not to-day tell another story, when it says that the "information con cerning this placard was derived from a source which we opposed to be credible." We tell the Times it kifows better, that it knew from the first the true nature of the placard, and that it does by this apology only add, if that be possible, to its misconduct. It would not at the same time even confess its guilt without endeavouring to fasten an imputation on Mr. Roebuck. There is nothing in that gentleman's political creed which warrants the Times in implying that his adoption of the plan announced in the placard was pro bable and consistent, LYME REGIS, DORSET.—A large sturgeon, weighing upwards of 1001bs., was taken off Lyme this morning, and forwarded immediately, by the humble Conservative voters of Lyme Regis, to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, as a mark of their admiration and esteem for his political conduct.—[The sturgeon is called a Royal Fish, and is generally sent to her Majesty. The Lyme Regis Conservatives would seem to regard Sir Robert Peel as already on the throne. We know that he aspires, as the head of the monopolists, virtually to dethrone the Lady patroness of free trade and increased revenue without in creased burthens, but this is the first recognition we have yet met with of his actual sovereignty. We, however, are not disposed t o make the cotton-spinner's son—be come a great bread-taxer—our sovereign, and we shall decline following the example of the Conservatives of Lyme Regis, and shall withhold our homage till the monopolists have forced him on the throne.—ED. Sun.] THE REPUBLIC AND THE MONARCHY.—FeW weeks pass without the Times and the rest of the Tories howl ing against the manners and morals of the Great Western Democracy. We have, in the cause of truth and justice, on those occasions, directed the attention of our readers to the quietness and order with which their elections are conducted. At the late election of President, when the suffrages of the whole adult male population were col lected, not a single row or broken head disturbed the peace and harmony of the people. Our elections are not yet over. Suffrages not above the tenth part of those collected in America have here been collected. We have had rows at Nottingham, Carlisle, Wigan, &c., and eight lives have been lost. With an example before us so pregnant with instruction, we must recommend the To ries not to provoke comparisons which cannot be advan tageous to the Monarchy. to complain of the publicans or the electors. While their constituents were subjected to a sys tem of espionnagc hitherto unknown in this country, and to heavy penalties for an imaginary offence, they were nightly performing the part of " dumb dogs that could not bark." Months ago we confidently stated what would be the consequence of such fatuous conduct, and to our great regret the prediction has been fulfilled? The right-hearted and well-principled address of Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY to the electors of Li verpool is one of the neatest and best written to which the elections have yet given birth. While Sir JOSHUA renders all honour to the courtesy of his opponents, he does not scruple to denounce the numerous flagitious means which have been employed to defeat him. While he gracefully acknowledges his defeat, he • strenuously contends for the righteousness of his cause, and expresses a well-founded confidence, such as upright men feel, that in the end it will certainly triumph. He does not spare the electors of Liverpool, which owes its greatness to manufactures and foreign commerce, for not having done justice to themselves; and he pro mises them that, as far as he is concerned, they shall not want opportunities to re cover their character. The present contest is only the first of those contests which must finally compel the Tories to adopt the mea sures they now oppose, or to look on passively and sullenly while the good is achieved—for achieved it must be—by their opponents. We cordially recommend Sir JOSHUA WALMSLEY'S address to our readers, and must say that, though defeated, he has rendered our good cause a noble sevice. Liverpool will ere long repent its rejec tion of one of the worthiest of its citizens. We are in receipt of Paris papers and letters of Thurs day. Our correspondent mentions under that date the arrival of the Indian mail, via Marseilles, which reached the French capital that morning. The KING and Royal 2amily have left Neuilly for Eu. It appears that no"avithstanding the positive denial of the papers in the pay of the French Government, that the fortifications were about to be conducted on a re duced and economical, that is to say, inefficient, scale for the continuous wall, as was asserted by the Liberal pa pers ; it appears that there was not only some truth, but a great deal of truth in the assertion. A proposal was made in the Committee of Fortifications to that effect, and was only lost by a very small majority—the offi cers composing which will not thereby rise in favour at Court. The opposition papers continue to call loudly for explanations ; but their adversaries observe a pru dent silence, and leave the matter, as being a bad one, alone. There are so many discontented officers of all ranks in the army, and so many of these again are in, Paris, that any flaw in the conducting of the fortifica tions runs a great chance of being detected, and it is con sidered bad policy on the part of the Government thus to be playing fast and loose on a question so intimately connected with the continuance of the present dynasty on the throne of France. It is pretty certain that Admiral LALANDE is not desirous to have the command of the Mediterranean fleet, even if it should be offered him, which is very doubtful. He is now on a visit at Brest, and is not at all desirous of " sailing in the same boat " with M. GUIZOT and Marshal SOULT. There is a rumour mentioned by several papers that Marshal SEBASTIANI is intriguing to get re-appointed to the Em bassy at London ; and we have reason to know that the report is not without foundation. The Marshal has al ways expressed himself in terms of regret at having been forced to give up so eligible an appointment, and to re member the delights of English dinners and English aristocratical society too well not to wish to get back to Manchester House. The carrying that wish into effect is not so easy. M. GUIZOT is personally opposed to him ; he lo o k s on t h e M ars h a l as a man w itho u t bottom, not stable eno ug h f or cr i t i ca l t i mes , an d too open to the cajolery M. DE ST. A ULAIRE, however, has not of any one who may take him in hand. ac cepted the post, and the Marshal has been try ing the effect of a personal application, indirect of course, to the KING, by whom he has always been pre ferred to men of the GUIZOT school as more tractable, and more inclined to fall in with the KING'S own views. That Austria objects to the son , of Marshal SOULT coming to Vienna as Ambassador with the title of Marquis de DALMATIA is positive. Prince METTER NICE has given it to be understood that his Cabinet does not object so much to titles taken from any decisive en gagement won b y the person b earing it, but that it will not admit one taken from a province conquered, or rather said to be conquered, by a stroke of a despot's pen. The Northern Powers are about to recognise the Go vernment of DUNA. MARIA in Portugal, now that the obstacles on the part of the Papal Court are done away. Such a measure would necessarily bring about a demand from Spain for a similar recognition ; but this the Northern Courts will not agree to make until some posi tive pledges, or rather meoures, are extorted from the 1 THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDA', JULY 3,184 L REGENT and Government at Madrid, rendering th case .MONEY and Ct)MMI CIAL NEWS. of usurpation of the throne by EspinTEno imposSika etTr, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

SlR,—The publication in The Sun of the Ist inst., of an opinion by Captain Hosken of the " Great Western," that the President "is yet above water," has given me great gratification; I have ever held the same,and expressed it when the President has been mentioned by friends in my presence. As my experience has been in other seas, and not being at present actively engaged in steam navi gation, I felt that an opinion put forth by me alone might appear presumptuous, and would have little weight with the public, and as little effect in alleviating the agonizing suspense of the relatives and friends of those on board the President ; but not the less did I, and do I, believe that they have been too soon consigned to despair. The absence of public discussion on the subject by practical men of local experience, with its tacit implication, has hitherto prevented my obtruding an opinion ; now, however, the appearance of an opinion from an experienced and intelligent officer, employed on the same line, has induced me to offer a few observations, as I entirely agree with him in the conclusion he has come to. The result of the investigation held at New York, is, to say the least of it, vague and unsatisfactory, and I agree with Captain Hosken that, without for a moment questioning the abilities or judgment of Captain Cole and the other nautical gentlemen who concurred with him as seamen, they may yet not be competent judges " in a steam-ship case." It is admitted on all hands that Captain Roberts was an officer well qualified for his command, nor is it indeed to be sup posed so important a trust would have been confided to one who was not so. It is clearly ascertained that the President was not fully loaded when she started ; and on the evening of the 12th, when last seen, she must have been further lightened by a day and half's consump tion of coal. These are very material facts ; although when last seen by Captain Cole the President ap peared to be labouring and pitching heavily, and shipping seas, yet it is fair to infer that she was not really making such bad weather of it, as to cause any serious apprehensions in the judgment of Captain Roberts, or he would have borne up. Admitting that he would carry perseverance as far as prudence would possibly permit, it is not to be supposed he would have continued to push the vessel against what he felt her to be unequal to. As, therefore, there are grounds for supposing that Captain Cole thought she was making worse weather of it (when he last saw her) than she really was, so also are there for belief that he may be wrong in his other conclusions. It appears the wind chopped round from N.E. to S.E. on the morning of the 13th, causing a dreadfully confused sea, in which, in all probability, the vessel was disabled, though not, I yet hope and trust, lost. My own view of what may probably have befallen the President is as follows :—That in the con fused sea, caused by the change of wind, some acci dent happened to the machinery, of a nature which could not be remedied by the engineers with the means available on board ; that she was then hove to under sail ; and subsequently, in some of the heavy rolls and lurches which she must have made, one or more of her masts went over the side. What means she had for getting up a jury-rig I do not know, but it is certain that under the best that could be expected, an immense hull like hers would still be very unmanagable, and in this state she may have got entangled with the fields of ice, which have spread so unusually this year over the Atlantic. In such case, the probability of her being fallen in with by other vessels was exceedingly lessensd, as all who got sight of the ice naturally avoided it ; one vessel going out of her way one hundred and fifty miles to do so ; and this might account for her not having been seen by any vessel. If she had foundered anywhere near where last seen by Captain Cole, it appears to me almost impossible but that some thing belonging to her would have been picked up before this. In foundering, such an immense hull, not held together by so many decks as a sailing-vessel of equal dimensions, would have soon blown or broken up to an extent which would have covered the adjacent sea with wreck and other articles, which could badly all have escaped the notice of vessels passing in the track. Such, Sir, are some of the reasons which lead me also to the same conclusion to which Captain Hosken has come, that there is yet strong ground for hope that the President is yet above water, and while no one would more deeply regret the having raised fallacious hopes, I am impelled to offer the above observations from a strong belief that in this distressing case hope has been too soon abandoned. _ _ _ — As the public, before attaching any weight to the opinion above ,siven, will necessarily require to know the qualifications for judging he who offers it may possess, I beg to state, they are the result of six-and-twenty years' active service in the India Navy, including the opening of steam-communication between Bombay and Suez. in 1830, and eight years' subsequent experience in steam navigation. I am, Sir, your very obedient servant, F. H. WILSON, Retired Commander Indian Navy.

LITERATURE. THE LOVER AND THE HUSBAND. 3 Vols. Bentley, Londnz, 1841. " The following stories," says Mrs. Gore, who has undertaken the task of editing the present volumes, " are derived from one. of the most popular, and decidedly the most original, of n odern French novelists, and might have been aptly named, The French painted by them selves.'" Such a name would indeed have been the most appropriate that. could have been se lected, for the tales—with the single exception of the "Goldsmith's Wife," whose scene is laid in, Spain—are all illustrative of the manners, habits, and feelings of modern France, which are delineated with great apparent truth and freedom of touch. The principal story in the collection, entitled " The Lover and the Husband," is a sad tragedy of domestic life, and inculcates—which is seldom the case with mo dern French fiction--a stern, but salutary mo:al. Madame de Bergenheirn, the heroine, is a young and susceptible Frenchwoman, married at an early age to the Baron of that name, a bold, sporting sort of provincial Squire, whom she re spects, but cannot love. Shortly after their mar riage, she meets in Parisian society with Viscount Gerfaut, a celebrated author, with whose refined manners and conversation she is greatly captiva ted. He is equally struck with her personal and mental attractions ; and as a young Parisian roue is never happy without an intrigue, he manages to ingratiate hirrigelf with the lady's husband, who invites him to his castle, in one of the more remote provinces of France. Here the literary Viscount improves his opportunities so well, that his host's wife is brought to avow a deep affection for him, and the parties have several clandestine meetings, in one of which they are discovered by the Baron de Bergenheim, who in.tantly challenges the Viscount. The parties meet the outskirts of a wood, where a boar-hunt is going forward, arid the husband falls by his ad versary's fire, and is brought in dying to his repentant wife, who, in a paroxysm of madness, thugs herself into the river that flows at . the base of the castle. This tale is, we understand; from the pen of Mr. Gore, whose translation reads off with ease and spirit. As will be seen by our slight sketch of the plot, it is not remarkable for novelty of incident; but some of the scenes are sketched with uncommon vigour; and we know few more striking or dramatic dialogues than those which take place between the husband and the lover, after the discovery of the latter's in trigues. The character, too, of the old-fashioned Frenchwoman, Mademoiselle de Corandeuil, who detests the very mention of the July Revolu tion, is ably and consistently supported through , out. Miss Austen never hit off a crusty old maid with more fineness of tact. But, indeed, the sketches of French life generally—especially provincial life—deserve the highest praise for their uniform discrimination and dexterity. • DUBLIN REVIEW. No. XX. Dolman, London, 1841. The objection which we have so often urged against this periodical—namely, that it is heavy and monotonous in the character of its articles — applies with less force than usual to the present Number, which contains quite enough of variety to satisfy all classes of readers. Among the lighter reviews, is a notice of Moore's poetry, suggested by the late uniform edition of his works, which is penned in a sprightly, flowing style but is somewhat too lavish of; and indiscri minate in, its eulogy. We believe, there is con siderable truth in the Reviewer's assertion that the Irish Melodies had a great share in preparing the English mind for the measure of Catholic, Emancipation ; and we can readily imagine, and sympathise with, the feelings of just and honour able pride with which Mr. Moore must look back on his exertions in this patrintiC cause. In an eloquent and even learned . notice of Mr. Hal lam 's " Literature of... Europe," theJteviewer, al luding incidentally •to =some of the religious ab surdities of the last thirty years, observes that many men of education still believe in the doc trines of that crack-brained enthusiast, Joanna Southcote, " having submitted to the operation of being sealed, and what is still more conclusive, having paid for it." We must beg to doubt this fact, notwithstanding it is asserted so positively. Of Irving, the great apostle of the Unknown Tongues, we are assured that "he was a man in- I ferior to no one in intellectual powers." This also we must take leave to doubt, for we have more than once heard Mr. Irving preach in Hat ton-garden, and never discovered aught in his sermons but a certain flashy eloquence, which was ill calculated to stand the test of rigid exa mination. It was the preacher's manner . that gained him such popularity; his matter, when it was intelligible, was seldom much raised Above common-place. -" Mental Epidemics" is an ar ticle full of useful suggestions respecting the best mode of keeping the mind in a state of sound health. We do not, however, agree with the writer in his strictures upon .tea and coffee, which, when not taken to excess, are harmless beverages, if not positively nutri tious. At any rate, if they be poisons, they must be very slow ones, for Dr. Johnson, an inveterate tea-drinker, attained his seventy-fifth year ; and Voltaire, who was as inveterate a coffee-drinker, lived to be an octogenarian. " Navigable Polar Sea" is D. sketchy notice of an expedition undertaken to the inhospit able climates of the North Pole, by order of the Russian Government, in the year 1821. "Sport ing in Ireland" is just one of those light, ram bling, entertaining papers which used to be SG attractive in the pages of Blackwood's Maga zine. The Reviewer remarks that to " givela joke, and take a joke" is the great secret of travelling happily and successfully through Ireland. Let the tourist be able to do this, and we are told that he may go through the country from Connemara to Cavan, and be met everywhere with good-humoured kindness, and receive the hundred thousand welcomes of the warm-hearted people to every description of rural sport in their vicinity. We quote the Reviewer's directions to the sporting tourist who may be anxious to have a day's hunting. with O'Connell, among his own wild native moun tains of Kerry. The sketch of the open-air • breakfast in this extract is so piquant, that it gives one quite an appetite to read it : " The tourist must be stirring with the first light— Mr. O'Connell generally setting out for his hunting ground at four in the morning ; and, if he would keep pace with him in his walk to the rendezvous, he will find that some previous practice, under the instructions of the famed Captain Barclay, is extremely desirable. He will find the hnnting-pack small in number, seldom ex ceeding nine couple, about twice that number being :left in kennel ; but he will see at once that they understand their business—that they are just the description of dogs for a mountain country—well sized, but not ever large ; light bodied, but deep chested, and not at all leggy— well hung about the head, and most musical in tongue ! Talk of Italian and German concerts ! never was such glorious music as the cry of that little pack will draw from the breast of the grey mountain, wakening Echo in her thousand caves, and seeming to make the giant crags tremble at the roar. They will not be long before they come upon a trail, and the sagacity with which they un ravel the various windings thereof, will delight the true sportsman. They are never helped—never lifted ; and their losing a hare is a thing almost unheard of. Their blood is pure Irish, descending from an ancestry as re mote as that of the Milesians who followed the chase ; and their vigour, endurance, and instinct, are almost unequalled. Some of the mountaineers always keep near them, in order to pick up the hare, when killed ; and " the Liberator" is never far in the rear. Two hares be ing killed, breakfast is announced ; and the hungry sportsman finds a cloth laid in some grassy dell, covered with a profusion of cold meats, hot potatoes, sandwiches, and not unfrequently a dish of mountain trout reeking from some cottage gridiron ; 'and copious accompani ments are provided, in the shape of tea, coffee, milk, cold punch, porter, cider, and spirits of various kinds ; of which latter articles there are now but few partakers in this neighbourhood, gentry and people being almost, without exception, followers of the " Apostle of Tem perance." Breakfast over, the stranger may amuse him self f9r awhile in reading the newspapers, or smoke a cigar, anti 1:,)ok forth, over abrupt precipices, and across deep and romantic glens, on the Atlantic, q and muse on what Brother ,),,, nathan" is about. But when " all hands are refreshed, he " ust be readyfor afresh start, if he do not see fiv( or and must be very very unluok) -1 fastidious indeed, six hares killed by fair hunting, with his day's if he do not declare himself well pleasea , amusement." `S. No, 9, MOORE'S POETICAL WOR. Longman, London, 1841. The present volume consists almost wholly of satirical and humorous poems, many of which made their first appearance in the Times, when they excited, and deservedly, verygenerafatten tion. We have already expressed our opinion of Mr. Moore's powers as a squib writer. In this pe culiar and difficult walk, he has long been, and is long likely to be, unrivalled. His satire has a " lightness and laughing frood nature about it that must go far to conciliate even the parties whoul it holds up to ridicule. Moreover, it never misses its aim—never falls short of the • mark— but goes direct home. As a poet, Moore has his equals, nay, his superiors; as a wit and humou rist, he stands at the head of his class. From his Preface to the present volume, we quote an anecdote or two referring to the late Lord Hol land—one of the most accomplished of scholars, and the most cordial, unaffected, and single minded of men : ..... Lord Holland himself, in addition to his higher intellectual accomplishments, possessed in no ordinary degree the talent of writing easy an4layful vers de societi ; and among the in stances I could give of the lightness of his hand at such trifles, there is one no less characteristic of his good-nature than his wit, as it accompanied a copy o the octavo edition of Bayle, which, on hearing me rejoice one day that so agreeable an au- EVENING SUN thor bad been at last made portable, he kindly ordered for We from Paris. So late, indeed, as only a month or two allelicb his Lordship's death, he was employiog himself, with usual cheerful eagerness, in translating some verses of Aletastasio; and occa sionally consulted both Mr. Roaers and the as to different readings of some of the l'►nes. In one of the letters which I received from him while thus occupied, I find the following post' script :-- " 'Tis thus I turn th' Italian's song, Nor deem I read his meaning wrong. But with rough Epglish to co mbine The sweetness that's in every line, Asks for your Muse, atid not for mine. Sense only will not quit the score ; , We must have that, and. -.little More.' _ .., He then adds, " I send you, too, mine, of which I have seen many, alas witoess the truth :--• " A minister's answer is always so kind! , I starve, and he tells me he'll keep me in Oulu' Hoff his promise, God knows, would my wrib; restore ; $ 1:0 el an chol y epigram .. Let him keep me—and, faith, I will ask for no I."_":Th.e* HALL'S IRELAND, Part 9. How and Parsons, London, 1841.
