Among the various disorders of the Mouth, there is none more destructive , than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums causes them to Weed on the most trifling occasions, and pro. dikes the most oi;*easive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of the Teeth, penetr.%tes into the Gums, which gradually taste away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known thli the loss of Teeth arises more' from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguishod Lecturer makes the following Observations When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are considered, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce versions to obviate so great I. nuisance even on their own account or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ►ng a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the senses of ethers, who possess more delicacy and propriety of feeling than themselves. Yet, so it is; and th.l sight and the sroell are alike constantly outraged by the filthiness of some people, who seem to obtrude their faces the closer in proportion to tho disgust which they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p, 199. Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth and gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To ?professional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who have much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance ! Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out of twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, ♦ery much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony? And how often, from inadvertence or neglect, is the happiness of the marriage state most grievously interupted by the same cause The inconveniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment, but to those who have not ex perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray is desirous of showing some of the difficulties moze or less en • Allured Ly every individual without them. When the Teeth are lost, it is impossible to make use of solid food; .and if the stomach is then loaded with pieces without being masticated, the pati.tnt is exposed to the most distressing iretigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction; and becomes week it proportion as it uo longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth s.re gone, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions every muscle in the face to be distorted, and the whole features are completely drawn from their original position. To insist on th e i mportance of the teeth, whether in regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they' are so essential, or to personal appearance, in which they are, so much concerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are many persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely , aware that they posse ss t ee th a t a ll, while th e ir gross and cul-, pable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friendi end associates. Masdcatien is the first process of digestion, and unless it %e duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on aroperly. So essential is this preparatory process, that the neglect of if is sufficient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner vous debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and tinged of a lead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips their vermillion hue, and, in a word, it is no uncommon thing, for the whole body to receive such a shock as to cause re laxation of the whole system, which produces an irritabli temper, quite foreign to the natural disposition, whereby we become an annoyance to our friends, and a burtheu to ourselves. But I need not dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their origin to imperfect mastication. It is sufficient to know that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be found to be many years in advance of any system now in Eu rope, anti that artificial teeth are brought to such perfection, at the• Establishment, No. GO, Newman -street, Oxford 'street, as to perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, and may be used with every comfort. They are so arranged as to restore the lace to its former youthful east, correctin g all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doirg away with the old syste m of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever stall:. Pre-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of om; flexion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can vender that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lip 7 (though they be of coral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or discoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and sallow complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a good set of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass unnoticed, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even: On the other ham' the effects of decay, the accumulation of tartar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will aivariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular teeth, white, and tree from all - extraneous matter, ire an ornament equally attractive in either sex. These per= sons who do not possess this natural advantage, should en= deaveur, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial aid, to remedy the imperfections, and supply the deficiencies of nature, in order th a t their t ee th, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from becoming a repulsive one. Monsieur LE DRAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman-street, Oxford-street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, Clergy, and the inhabitants of London and its vicinity, that lie continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine ral Marmeratum, so universally recominended by the Facility o tEngland, France, and throughout the Continent, which substance he is sole inventor and possessor of. The ope ration is performed without the least pain ; it is placed into the cavity in an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds nardens into enamel, preventing and curing the Tooth Ache, arresting all further progress of decay, allaying in one minute the most excruciating pain, and rendering the operation of ex traction unnecessary. He also fastens loose Teeth, particularly .of aged persons, wlit.ther arising from neglect, the use of calo inel, disease of the gums, or any other cause.

THE MEDICINAL LFFECTS of STEEL, as a strengthener and restorative, have been known for ages to excel those of all other articles of the Alateria Mediaa, and in this age of luxury and dissipation, when the indiscretions of youth disappoint the expectations of maturity, it is not to be wondered that a medicine of such efficacy as SEDDON'S genuine AROMATIC LOZENGES of STEEL should have attracted the attention of the first medical men in Europe. When the most important functions of life are suspended, and those who are invalids by inheritance or imprudence are reduced to the most deplorable state of nervous debility, it is not in despair that relief is to be found. It has been ascertained, be yond a doubt that these circumstances are occasioned by a ge neral or partial relaxation or weaknesses in either sex; and it is equally certain that SEDDON'S LOZENGES are the best, if not the only remedy ever discovered for this species of de bility. , When taken into the stomach they immediately diffuse themselves like a vapour through every pore, producing effects at once delightful, salutary, and permanent. When the spark of life begins to grow dim, the cif culation, languid, and the faculties paralysed, these Lozenges are found to give tone to the nerves, exhilirate the animal spirits, invigorate the body, and re-animate the whole man. When aversion to exercise, loss or depravity of appetite, and pallid countenance, indicate approaching consumption, the delicate female will be preserved and restored to health and society by the benign influence of thi< medicine.

FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, &c., &c. Public attention is reque:ted to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle":— Sm.—As I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your fellow -creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout. which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely'-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the third time on Saturday night, the 31st of May last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I war recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday-street,Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceased, in two days I could walk, and at the end of ono week the gout had entirely left me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as I had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know where to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been the means of conferring on me; and finding he had never made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Feaver does not imme diately publish it. It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a large degree to himself, while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by insertin ,, this in your columns, you will be doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter contained in some of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, ike. THOMAS SCHOFIELD. 52, Lower Thames-street, and 12, Marlborough place, Old Kent-road, July 6, 1840.

' The Noble CHAIRMAN said it afforded him the greatest pleasure teen elide at so important and influential a meeting es the present. He should briefly state to them the reasons and objects of the present assemblage. The Colonial So -clay was established for the purpose of wabebing w i t h attention all measures and matters relating to the interests of the colonies, and indeed if it were not for havirg some such objects in view, it might be classed with many of the various clubs with which the metropolis abounded. Oa t h e present occasion it appeared to him that the Committee would have been wanting in its duty to the mem bers and the colonies, if it lad not called a nee.ieg to tsk.e into comideration the financial rowan tespeetieg the duties on sugar and tineer, as proposed eithin the last few dais. He would °We've that the Committee, iu bringi iv; the matter before teem, had not furgotiett one of the ir fundsnamital ruler, namely, that ne patty polities shoul•l be introduced into that Society. They brought it forward %Wesel, reference to any party politic, but as a question intimately connected with the welfare of the colonies. Tu&l brevgh!. it forward without reference to who were the Ministers by whom the me w.o was proposed. Whoever they were, whether ebey were Whig or Tory, he trusted they would always be found at their post vth:n the intez eats of the colonies were at stake. Indeed, he hardly knew the political sentiments of the gentlernee with whom he acted at their Board; and he mentioned teat to show that they were influenced by no party feelings on the present occasion. The Committee had prep_red some resolutions, and a petition, which would be submitted for their discussion and approval. He 'trusted that, if it met their approbation, the petition would go before the Legislature as containing the semi. meats of the great body of colonial proprietors at present in London; f,.r he was justiLd in saying that almost every influential person connected with the colonies was now enrolled as a member of their Society. Ile suggested that the Secretary should read the requisition, calling the utcctind in the first instance. PR ICE sd• The requisition having bees read, Mr. Ititmevtav referred the Chairtnao is the 27th rule, which required 14 days' notice for calling any general or special meeting. lift was anxious the subject should be discussed, and impel the difficulty might be got over. NlaTnew, M. P., said the 40th rule was frare'al to meet that objection. If the irregularity was the question was to he put to the meeting, and kcidel by them. lie believed there never was a cl." o °,ion on which they had been more completely takeia oy surprise than upon that brought forward by the r . ' . . ance li or o f t h e Ex chequer, and unless they could . ta k e i mme li ate not i ce o f matte rA so deeply afre'l.i'. g t h e we lf a - e o f t h e co l on i es , their ioefulnesa as a '„,,d -y would go for nothing. Ile - oc therefore moved.. that the Chairman do put it to the meeting to 1P alise their proceedings. Mr. I ..ll)(r.Vklr seconded tae Inotion,:which was tesa arrreed to. ri ' CapteiMaellew then rose to move the first resolu tion. Ile thought it was framed in the very spirit of the words of their Noble Chairman, lie thought it was im portant that they should lay aside all partisan and party politics on an occasion like tho present —( Hear, hear.) At the meeting cf the West India Proprietors, held on Wednesday, the same opinions wore eloquently expressea by Mr. Burge. He was persuaded that their Society was virtually of no benefit whatever if it did not come for ward on important occasions Ile the present, and declare their sentiments with respect to measures which were ca? culated to produce such ruinous consequences to the colonies. lie bel eved, if these colonies had been repo'. sented in the Imperial Parliament, such measures would never have been brought forward. --(Hear.) Major 11. CADOGAN seconded the resolution. He did not think she charge of being influenced by party or poli tical tveliugs could fairly attach to them on the present occasion--the suTet came fairly and legitimately before them, and he trusted they would discuss it with temper and discretion, The resolution, the purport of which was that it was the duty of the Colonial Society, consistmg of upwards of one thousand inemberF, connected with every community in the col:mks, to take the earliest opportunity of consi sitiering questions affecting the interest of the British colonies, was then put from the chair, aad carried una nimously. The Earl of Ilmiewwee moved the second resolu tion. He denied that he was actuated by any party feel ings, because if the other party in the, State was in power to-morrow, and brought forward similar measures he should give them the most decided opposition.—; Hear, hear.) It appeared to him that they were calculated to effect the total ruin of these colonies. The calculation* of the Cnancellor of the Exchequer appeared to him, as regarded the West Indies, founded upon a fallacy very nearly approachieg to a fraud. lie was not so well quali. fled to speak on the subject of the Canadas, but he viewed the measure, as a whole, as one deeply affecting the ship. ping interests of the cluntry.—(llear, hear.) He did not think the increase of their exports, that was eaten. ted upon, was to betaken altogether as a benefit. for it would lead to overtralling, and bring ruin upon thousands. The Noble Earl concluded by movine the resolution, which was to the effect that the me tsures brought forward by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in his Budget of Friday eight, were fraught with the most disastrous con scqueace to the. Cetsadee, aad the Batt Red West Indira. Sir DtiNee.s 11`llorGAt. seconded the resolution. As regarded the Canadae be could speak from pereonel obser vation that the proposed measure was calculated to feed to the soparatioa of these colonies from the mother country. The resolution yeas carried unanimously. Mr. MACKINNON, M. P., moved the next resolution. lie would repeat the observations of his two Noble Friends, who preceded him, that be utterly di , claimed all idea of being influenced by petty politics. Ile believed that if they et. fected a dismemb rment of the c lades, they would go far to effect a dismemberment of the 13ritiih empire itseif. —( Hear.) These colonies, in a language wli ch could not be misunderstood, had declared that they considered. themselves an integral portion of the British empire.--. (Cheers.) All their legislation and proceedings of late years had been influenced and actuated by such consider ations, and those who would view the colonies in any other light were not the friends of the best Interests ofthc country. The great object should be to form markets for the consump tion of their home manufactures, but it appeared to hini that 1 the resolutions of the Char eellor of the Exchequer were calculated to strike a death-blow at the integrity of their colonial possessions, while they at rite same time would stimulate a traffic in slave labour, which it had been their object for halt a century to put an end to. He would re. mind the meting of the resolutions of the House of Com mons on the subject of slavery, and the noble exertions they had made to put an end to it for ever; but now, as it appeared to him, these resolutions of the Chancellor of the Exchequer would at the same time retard the civiliza tion and improvement of the negroes, while it would greatly depreciate the value of property in the \Veit Indies.--( tleae, hear.) Independently of that it would shut up the market', which were at present open to them in the West Indies, because 6 would be idle to say that if these measures were passed the colonies could any longer tee the valuable customers they had been for Brit , sh produce. It was a mockery for that Government and country, whir!, had in a voice of thunder denounced sla:e traffic, e n d h a d spent such enormous sums in endeavouring to pea it down, now to come forward with resolutions the dirtret object of which would be to promote and encourage the 1 consumption of sugar the produce of slave la bour. If it was said (and he knew the argu ment was a very popular one, and one which would he resorted in the House of Commons), that the effect of these resolutions would be to enable the poor man to ob tain sugar at a lower price, he would refer them to the vast continent of India where sugar to an enormous amount could be cultivated. Last yoar they had received no lea. than 50,000 tons from Bengal, and in the present yecr, if the calculations were to be rel:ed upon, the quantity would be upwards of 250,000 tons.—( Hear, hear.) He corn. plaieed of the proposed measure alto as being a gross breach of faith to the West Indian planters, and the re• sult would be that not only would the civilization sad improvement of the emancipated incises be retarded for an indefinite period of time, but they would produce the Teter ruin and dowefal of the planters —( Loud cheers.) He thought under the circumstances they were called upon as colonists asd Englishmen, to protest against measur es which were fr aug h t w i t h ru i n to th e E ast an d West In di ra colonial and shipping interests. It would appear ,by a l r ) :: solution of the British and Foreign Anti-slavery Sneie t Y t. " they touk the very same view of the subject, and that t h ose parties who were formerly opposed to the West Indies n ow joined and fraternised with them in demanding th e measmes.—( Hear, hear.) .1 e the resolution.

He found that for 1; Itwent y - f ive years e IA employed.—(h ialtiraeaiuniteprt ' hear.) th, years the average supply of sugar from the West Indies hal been 180,000 tuns, and taking that as the supply for the present year, it would produce, at 245. per cwt.. 4,320,000/. The Mauritius he would take at 30,000 tons, producing 180,000/. From Bengal 62,000 tottle were coming home, and that along with teat which would be procured, from Ceylon and Madras, would at the lowesj . estimate amount to 100,000 tons, giving. 2,400,000/. tter. ling, and that would give a total of eight millions to the revenue, as being the sum likely to be obtained if no change. took place. It the proposed measure was carried there would be a reduction cf at least 150,000 tons in the pro-. duce of the colonies, and even at the duty of 36r. per cwt., the falling off in the revenue would be considered...ie.

John Tyler, now P:Olireet of the United States, was born in the county of 04 41 14 City, Va. lie is the second son of governor John 'l' r, died in 1815. His f..the.• was among the most stetsilfast and firm Whigs of the Reso lution. He was a fast filend of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, Janes Madisein,'Jeraet Monroe, and other di , - tinguished patriots of the - day. Daring the greater part of the rovolutionary wai he was a representative in the General Assembly from the county of Charles City, hav ing for his colleague Benjamin Harrison, the father of William Henry Harrison, who bore a conspicuous part in the revolution. Governorr Tyler was often elected to re present his county without the loss of a siogle vote, and was for sereral years Speaker of the !louse of Delegates, Judge of the Court of Admiralty; and one of the Delegates to the Convention for the Adoption of the Constitution of the United States, and was Vice- President. In 1608 he was sleeted Governor of the State of Virginia. In 1810, Mr. Madison appointed him Judge of the United States Dis trict of Virginia. Few have lived or died more extensively respected or regretted. lie sacrificed an independent fortune in the cause of our liberty and independence, and was never heard to express any other sentiment titan that the sacrifice was nothing when compared with the end achieved. When the Legislature of Virginia, then in session, were informed of his death, they adopted-unanimous resolutions of condo lence and regret, and adjourned to the next day, an honour rarely paid but as a mark of the highest respect. Such was Governor John Tyler, the father of John Tyler, now President of the United States. The latter was elected, immediately after he attained the age of twenty-one, to the House of Delegates, from his native county of Charles City, and served in that capacity from 1811 t , ) 1815, when he was elected a member of the Executive Council. In 1816 he was elected a representative iu Congress, being but a few months in advance of the age required by the Constr. tution. In that capacity he served five years. In 1825 he was elected Governor of the State fo: one year. In 1826 he was re-elected by a unanimous vote. In 1827 he was elected to the United States Senate,.and after serving six years was re-elected. He was one of those patriotic senators who, on the 28th of March, 1834, voted for and passed the memorable rero. lution relative to the removal of the deposits by Geaeral Jackson, " that the President, in the late executive proceed ings in relation to the public revenue, has assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the Consti. tution and laws, but in derogation of both." Subsequently, after the infamous project of Cul. Benton to mar the journal of the Senate by the expunge, had be come a party measure, a jaeobinical legislature of Virginia passed resolutions directing Mr. Tyler, in conjunction with his col'eague, Benjamin Watkins Leigh, not only to vote for sad' a measure, but to introduce the motion for that purpose. lie at once resolved rather to resign hi; seat than perform such an act, and immediately addressed a letter to the Legislature in which he assigned with frankness his reasons fur declining to obey the instruction. He con cluded his letter with the following noble declaration, which, as far as we know, may be considered as marking the character of the man : " I dare not touch the journal of the Senate. The Con stitution forbids it. In the midst of all the agitation of party, I have heretofore stood by that sacred instrument. It is the only post of honour and t.f safety. Parties are continually changing. The men of to-day give place to the men of to-morrow ; and the idol; whicli Olie set wor ship, the next destroy. The only object of my political worship shall be the Constitution of try country. I will not be the instrument to overthrow it. A scat in the Senate is sufficiently elevated to fill the measure of any man's am bition; and as an evidence of the sincerity of my convic tions that your nesolut!ons cannot be executed without vio lating my oath, I resign into your hands three unexpired years of my term. I shell carry with me into retirement the principles which I brought with me into public life; and by the surrender of the high station to which I was called by the •oice of the people of Virginia, I shall act an example to my children, which shall teach them to regard as nothing place and office, when either is to be obtained, or held, at the sacrifice of honour. " I am, Geotlcruen, your fellow-cifzon, "JOHN TYLER." M. T3ler has since livel in comparative r( tirentent, un til chosen a delegate to the Ilarrisburgh Convention the year before last, of which body he was an able and active member. A paragraph is is circulation rapectisg the probable do mestic arrangements of the President, woich we have rea son to believe incorrect. In this it is stated th.a Mr. Tyler is a widower, and ihit tYie Tidy of the President's house will be his daughter-in-law, formerly Miss Cooper. The President, as we are informed, is not a widower, althongit Mrs has been for sonic time in such feeble heatth as to incapacitate her from doing the honours of her hus band's mansion. This duty will therefore devolve upon his daughter, Miss T)lcr, as it has done heretofore at his resi dence in Virginia. General flatrison and Mr. Tyler, were bore within five miles of each other, is the same county, both served in both branches of Congress, and have always cherished a mutual esteem and friendship for each other.—New York Paper.

CAMPBELL'S LIFE OF PETRARCII.—It is sn rare a tiling to meet with a real poet who can and will descend to the dry duties of a biographer, without putting off his c4aracter of a bard, that Mr. Thomas Campbell, in so happily effecting this in his " Life of Petrarcb," ha, put forth new claims upon that popular favour which he SQ eminently enjoyed before, This rew work is a singu larly happy union of the most elaborate research with that warmth of poetic feeling, and those graces of style which are only to be looked fur in the prose of a poet. The want that has to long been felt of an adequate life of the most popular of Italian bards may now be regarded as a Ertuttate one, since it has left the task to be performed by the writer who was, of all men living, the hest quali Ged to do it justice.

THE BUDGET AND COHN-LAWS. (From the Wcrcester Chronicle.) The notice of motion for inquiry into the Acts relating to the trade in corn, given by Lord John Russell on Fri day last, has caused a great sensation amongst the mono polists, and given lively satisfaction to the friends of free dom of Trade. As the Morning Chronicle justly sip, " Ministers have fairly thrown themselves on the Das ion for support in the assertion of a great national right and inte rest." They have a right to expect the energetic sup port of the nation, and we feel confident they will not be diaappointod. Unless they arc strongly bucked up from without, they will be comparativsly powm Hess, and their good-will to relieve the people from the tax which the pres,nt law goes to impose upon their food, will be neutralised. Nothing but a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, can servo the present turn. The tide is now at flood, and if the favourable moment be not caught, a long time may elapse Lefore suet, another opportunity presents itself. The repulsive and disgusting uproar from the Tory benches which greeted Lord John Russell's announcement, sufficiently marks the hostility which that party are prepared to exercise against any change in the present laws. They will be reinforced and seconded by the monopolists out of doors, with a vigour proportionate to the stake (their own private interest) which is involved in the great questicin, and unless the people make their voice heard in accents of thunder by the constitutional method of petition, in the chambers of S. Stephen's, it may be feared that might will prevail over right. Unless a like gigantic force of public opinion to that which carried the Reform 13111 be brought to bear upon the Legislature, the hopes of the nation will be nipped in the bud, and their legitimate expectations of relief from the pressnre ofa restrictive Corn-law will be painfully baulked. Action ! action I 1 action !! I should he the Repe tiers' motto ; their rallying cry, No Corn.laws and Commercial Prosperity ; their watchword, Now or never. The de claration of Ministers has already struck a bloN at the c-rn monopole, which it remains with the people of this United Kingdom to carry home. S TOURISRIDGE. Mooday evening a numerous meetirg of the inhabitants was held in the School-room, Wollaston-road, to adopt a petition for the repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, and for a revision of the Com mercial Code; Samuel Blackwell, Esq ,in the chair. A petition, which was read to the meeting, was adopted, and the resolutions passed unanimously. (From the Dublin Evening Post.) Honour to Lord John Russell. Honour to the masterly tactics by which—when the enemy thought themselves sure of the victory—their flanks—both their flanks—have been turned, and their centre thrown into inextricable confu sion. The holy alliance between the Tories and the Chartists—the successful game played by the corrupt aris tocracy, with the aid of the rotten democracy, against the liberties of the country, has been won. We do not know which to admire the most, Tory roguery or Chartist de gradation. We need only say the parties are worthy each other. They have made a holy alliance against Ireland. They have bound themselves in a bond for the extinction of her liberties. The first fruits of the alliance is the defeat of the Irish Registry Bill. Lord Stanley may be proud—but what are his feelings compared to the exultation of Mr. Walter? Sir- Robert Peel may be happy—but how his felicity " pales its ineffectual fires " before the bright blaze of delight which lights up the heart of Fergus O'Connor ! But will the holy alliance last? For the nonce it will; but, with all their boastings —nay, with their apparent numerical superiority, the allies have made no impression, as yet, upon the fortress of Powning-street. They have succeded in beating the Irish—they have succeeded in outraging and insulting Ira. land—they have left the Ministry in a minority; but they arc still, apparently, as far from office as ever. How can this be accounted fur? We stop not to in quire ? It is enough to say, that the proceedings of the House of Commons on Friday night have brought matters to a crisis, indeed. Tho notice of Lord John Russell tell like a thunderbolt upon the Legislature. The revi sion of the Corn-laws, with a view to substitute a fixed for a fluctuating duty, has produced a sort of revolution. It was necessary—it was indispensable ; the time had come for a change ; the falling revenue rendered it in esitable ; but, nevertheless, the Tory interest were con founded by the announcement. (From the Cheltenham Examiner.) THE CRISIS.--The Ministers have assumed a position unprecedented in the annals of British Government. They have taken up the principles of free trade, and on them are prepared to stand or fall. On the same evening (viz. last Friday) the Chancellor of the Exchequer adopted the remission of import duties, as a means of improving com merce and increasing the revenue ; and Lord John Russell gave notice that he should, on the last day of the month, move that the House resolve itself into Committee to take into consileration the Acts respecting the trade in corn. The princi,ilcs which we, in common with every edu cated and disinterested reformer, have long upheld, as the sole true principles for ensuring the tell welfare of the country, are at length, but for the first time, recognised and adopted by a British Government. We do not bestow army vehement laudation on Ministers on this account ; but we do feel justified in saying that they have done their duty well and boldly. For religious liberty—for national education —for cheap postage—for the Irish franchise, and partially for the English franchise, the Government have firmly striven ; and now they have crowned their efforts with one for free trade. Oa these principles the Govern. meet has taken its stand ; the present Parliament will of course oppose them, and then, having right on their side, and faith in the strength of principles on which they may well rely, they will appeal to the country to sup. port them. The struggle will be a clearly defined one. It will be between monopoly aid the many—it will be between corrupt government and popular government—it will be bstween the friends of plenty and the creators of poverty —it will between the friends and the foes of the working man—it will be between the champions of religious liberty and the assetters of the right of one creed to domineer over all other creeds. In this struggle one thing is quite plain, namely, that they who are not with us are against us. The halters between the two opinions can maintain no middle position. The foes in false colours may as well abandon their disguise ; it will not serve their turn. The Chartist voters for the Tory Walter hare done so already ; and the only difference between Tories and Tory Chartists consists in the latter being infinitely greater foois than the former. As to principle, there is manifestly not a pin's difference to choose beteeen them. ( From the Scotsman.) TIIR --We arc delighted to find that Ministers have at length resolved to attack that master-grievance of the country, the Cora-laws. Oa Friday, Lord John Rus sell gave notice that, on the first open day arter the 31st instant, he would move for a Committee of the whole Home to consider the subject. When questioned as to his intentions, he intimated that he proposed to substitute a fixed duty for the present graduated scale. The announce ment, says the Chronicle, was loudly cheered by the Libe rals, and fell like a bomb among the Tories. The rene gade Times, which professed extreme hostility to the Corn laws, raves a fury at the prospect of seeing its own os tensible w ishes fulfilled ! Lord Melbourne, according to the Tory journals, declared, two or three years ago, that it would be madness in Ministers to propose the repeal of the Corn-laws. As matters then stood, his Lordship's statement was certainly correct. The landholders, the only parties who are benefited by these laws, compose two-thirds of the one House of Parliament, and the whole of the other. They have availed themselves of their power to tax the bread cf the people for their own exclu sive profit : and any attempt to wrest from them, by mere force of argument, a law which, in their own opinion, en larges their rent-rolls, would be the extremity of folly. Nothing but a great public movement, the display of a determination on the part of the people to put an end to the system of plunder, of which they have so long bt ea the aictima, could give Ministers the slightest chance of success. Such a movement began last year, when nearly 4,000 petitions, with nearly 1,400,000 signatures, were presented to Parliament for the repeal of the Corn-laws. There is abundant evidence that this was not the result of any transitory feeling, but of a conviction deeply seated in the public niincl, and which, as it has truth and justice for its basis, and appeals to every man's pocket, will grow and strergthen till its object is at tained. Nothing short of this could have justified Minis ters in taking up the question, and, backed by such a manifestation of public sentiment, they would have been wanting in what they owe to the country, and to their own character as the advocates of justice and popular rights, if they had adopted any ether course. We say, that an attack on the Corn-laws at the first favourable opportunity was duo to their own character, because it completes the cycle of their great reforms; and, though they should be driven from office in consequence of the attempt, it enables them to retire with the proud consciousness of having spared no great abuse. To say nothing of the repeal or reduction of the house duty, paper.dnty, soap duty, newspaper-duties, and others to the amount of six millions, the penny postage, the open ing of the China trade, and a host of olhcr useful mea sures, which would have shed a lustre on any Cabinet, there were a certain number of master evils or grievances re quiring Herculean reforms, and these will for ever cousti tut() the peculiar and exclusive glory of the Whig (love, n meet. For the removal or redress of the evils and ri r i ev . ances alluded to, they brought forward and carried the fol. lowing great measures:—The Bills for Parliamentary Re form—tor Burgh Reform--for the abolition of slavery —foe the commutation of tithes in England—fur the com mutation of tithes, and abolition of Church-rates, in Ire-- land—for the correction of the manifold abuses of the English Poor-law—for the introduction of n Poor-law into Ireland—lastly, they gave to Ireland, and would have iven to Britain, the benefits of cheap, good, and nbi%er _ education if their enlightened endeavours had not teen defeated by the Church—all measures of vast importance, any one in time past would have immortalized any Ministry. Of the major grievances of ihe country, the Corn-la-as only have hitherto been spared; and we rejoice to think th-t, in attacking them, they crown with honour a series of unexampled public services, and fill up and complete their claims to public gratitude. TH. BUDGET.—Th.: proceedings in Parliament since our last have been of paramount interest, and much excite ment has been created in political circles, by Ministers having been twice defeated on the Irish Parliamentary Voters' Bill. It was at first supposed that this would lead to an immediate resignation on their part, or a dissolution of Parliament. But as neither of these could well take place until the Budget was brought forward and discussed, mi t :liters merely withdrew the Irish Bill, and things ac cordingly remain in the same doubtful position as be fore. On Friday the Chancellor of the Exchcqner brought ,forward his Budget kit the year, which is suffi ciently fair to have received prai se from Mr. flume. At PUBLICATIONS.
