EVENING EDITION TO CORRESPONDENTS. We are obliged, by the letter o f J. E-e, but be is quite mistaken in supposing that we are of opinion that ti.e r4.peal of the Corn-law would prove a . remedy for the wrongs and grievances cf the millions. The Corn law, however, is that one special and palpable injustice. which is the immediate cause of much suffering and misery, and ought to be first removed. What may be done or required afterwards will fall then to be considered. Let J. E--e and all his friends aid the Corn-law Re peelers, and rely that success on that question will to the herald of redress for many other r.i.ongs. NOTICE. r 14_..!

A strange change has come over the most inifk ential and, we believe, most numerous faction of the factious Tories. The main principle of those unscrupulous persons was for many years that their will was to other men's law, and they prac tically carried out their arbitrary decision by the most severe and cruel means. Opprobrious epithets generally applied, however, to the most numerous and most industrious classes, were amongst the fee'lleat weapons they used. Nothing, was too bad for them to say of the people, and not much was too bad for them to do. Abusive terms were aceofrrpa nied by sharp laws ; and coercion, constraint, and taror were habitually employed. The steady Aap• port the Tories gave to the penal laws in Ire - mod, (tad the vigorous resistance they opposed to all at tempts to procure the repeal, is one illustration of their conduct. The Manchester massacre and the Six Acts is another. Their resistance to the pro jects for I.ssening hanging is a third. A fourth is to be fulled in their determinwion to uphold mili tary flogging, and that abomination of abominations impressment. These are specimens of the maainer in «hich they enforced their ( , ill by cruel laws. C and Ctaych-rates may suffice as exam pies of the manner in which they fill their pockets or gratify their caprice at other people's expense. If they used less ;.ard words than their opponents. which we deny—looking at their continued abuse of the bulk of th e people, and at their persecution, li terary as well as l e g al, of ever y man who (lid not happen to belie',T. as they believe, on matters of re ligion—they had less excuse for them, because they wielded the powers of the Government and the Legi s l a t ure , gav e to their will the sanctity of an enactment, and enforced it by the sword. Other men had nothing but words with which to defend themselves, and might stand excused, though we know not that they do any good if they used harsh words. But now the Tories begin to taste adversity. They no longer dictate the law, and no longer wield the sword. They have sense enough to per ceive at length that their arbitrary and cruel pro ceedings, their persecution of Catholics, Dissenters, Irreligionists, and the bulk of the industrious classes, were the main causes of their unpopularity, and of their consequent inability to retain or to re cover possession of aim Sweet, then, are the u.,,5 of adversity ; for that section of the Tories \\l i t e !, is led by Sir ROBERT PEEL, which is btiginatised by the Standard as the Carlton, and as sepki„ g e m e ; , . now not only uses itself the language of modera tion, but preaches moderation in conduct, and em phatically warns the Tories that they must be mode rate, and struggles against another section of the Tories in favour of moderation. This itself is a blessed change, and if the success of the Reformers, partial and incomplete though it be, have had no , other goo ! , t, and it h as h a d many, i t w ill n -1141661' . advantage of posterity that it has t ‘ 4 4). `Abited7,o).. •A' • arrogance, the brutal despotism, maysiay tWA ocity, of the governing Tories. * .r ask for the p roo f s o f this. ;SL.,/ If they read the Times, as who does not, they must have remarked the absence recently from that Journal of the abusive and bitter articles in which it was wont to pour forth the spleen and ill temper of its party against Mr. O'CONNELL, and against the surpliced ruffians of Ireland. If they read the Post, which fewer Tories, we are afraid, do than ought, they will daily find abundant evidence of the change in its columns. Some days ago, it had an article against the violence and inso lent exaggeration of public journalising, directed against its heretofore fellow-labourers, the Tunes and Standard. Yesterday it followed up that by a laboured recommendation of moderation, and a coil:plaint that writers " who are governed , in their argumentation by good sense and goo d taste, are not sufficiently nor properly supported by moderate men. In the same joureal, and probably by the same hand, was a leading article, taking the Quarterly Review to task for exciting dread in Ireland, by the horrible blue light, reflecting with much exaggeration the plots of the Itomanists, which it has thrown up in the last number. The article is, however, remarkable when found in a Tory journal, and too strong a confirmation of the denunciations by which The Sun and other Libiral Journalists sought to stein the flood of virulence which was vomited by the O'SunervANs and IVI‘GHEEs from Exeter Hall over the land, to be merely commented on, and therefore we transfer the major part of it to our columns. The rhodornontade of the Tory journals, in which the Post heretofore in dulged as much as any one, is now " stock exag gerations, convenient for the use of speech-makers in moments of excitement, and of newspaper writers when something strong was considered as appro priate to the occasion." In these " stock exagge rations," however, lay the whole strength of PEEL, STANLEY, and Co. ; and, now that they are dis earded, on what pretext will they continue to make a species of legislative war on the Catholics of Ireland ? Instead of fostering the animosities between the professors of rival creeds, which has hitherto been the great business of Orange writers and Orange spoutels, the Post wisely recommends jus te and kindness, charity in the largest sense, and concludes that if the Protestants act on these golden precepts, as they ;have hitherto trampled them under foot, they will have nothing to fear. Joining cordially in the recommenda tions of the Post, we cannot neglect again to remind it that adversity has taught it and its party, and that the Tories never dreamed of moderation while they wielded the law and the sword. Little as they have yet felt' of the many evils they for a long period inflicted on others, they no sooner begin to feel them—en° sooner does the sword which they have sent to the bone of the multitude graze their skin—no sooner do hard words even begin to tell against them, than they become apostle of moderation. Let their new doctrines be fol lowed, because moderation will best ensure our vic tory, as it is the most opposed to the whole pre vious policy of the Tories. We have not, however, by the above examples quite exhausted the proofs which we can extract from the Post of the present love of moderation in the Tories. On Saturday last it essayed to prove to Mr. o' e! ONNELL, that he was quite mistaken in asserting that the English Tories hate the Irish people. No, said the Post, The Tories of England do not hate the Irish people, but they ardently desire to see that people reclaimed from their bad habits, and capable of taking a better rank in civilised society. There may be sonic Tories so inflamed and injured in mind, by listening to perpetual extravagance, as to consider that Papist and ruffian, or Roman catholic and traitor, are almost synonymous temps; but in England such Tories are neither nume rous nor influential. They are persons who have caught the infection of their politics from a certain deplorable class of Irishmen who have acted and spoken for many years as if furious hatred of those who profess religious error were true religion, and as if the rude domination of themselves were the only just administration of a Protestant monarchy. Vase unprincipled and dan serous persons, Whose energy is often but the zyfipring of drunkenness, and their patriotisnz dependent upon pelf, have in some degree imposed upon the English Tories by their impudence and perseverance in untruth ; but Mr. O'Connell should remember that this is but the importation (f an Irish vice, and it ought not to be charged upon England. This is very like what The Sun has repeatedly stated ; and it has more than once expressly warned the English Tories, that they were led astray by certain speakers and writers, who put forth their own Orange notions, nursed in the hot-bed of vio lent civic contentions—the offspring, perhaps, in some cases, of personal injury—as the genuine Protestantism of England. The Sun has warned the Protestants, that Church-of-Englandism was in its characteristics mild and careless, approaching to indifference, till these Orangemen and the Ul ,' tras, whom the M`NEILES, the PHILPOTTS, and others who are afflicted with the Orange disease, lave inoculated, have lashed her into bigotry and ; fury. Now it is found that this game cannot be :played out ; and now the political Tories, retreat ing from their auxiliaries, whom they so long coun tenanced, follow the lead of The Sun, and de nounce, if not by name, by impliction, those who have for many years spoken—and, let us add, ." as if furious hatred of those who profess written—' religious errors, were true religion." On several occasions the Standard seems to bare resented this desertion by the Post and its friends, and every now and then talks of waiting women and hangers-on of the Carlton seeking to ex change official salary for the wages of newspaper industry. It feels apparently that the remarks of the Post, such as those we have quoted, were di rected against it and its friends. The quarrel -which, however, is obvious—between the sections of the Tories, is one of principle, not of de gree, which time and return to efHce, should th a t ever take place, would only exasperate. We pre sume that Lord STANLEY may be considered as the head and representative of the ultra extravagant Orangeinen, whose " energy is often the offspring of drunkenness," as Sir ROBERT PEEL is the bead of the moderate section. The quarrel which is carrying on by the Post and the Standard no doubt represents pretty correctly the feelings with which thase rival statesmen regard each other, though they suppress them for a political purpose, yet work together just as the Post and Standard have done for years past. The Walsall election seems likely to be preg nant with mo►e important consequences than we have hitherto given it credit for. A writer in the Morning Chronicle yesterday, adverse to the Anti- Corn-law League, sacs— It is pretty evident that a body of this description, throwing all their weight in a large town into the scale against a Liberal candidate, will, in the present evenly balanced state of pirdes, generally ensure the failure of that cause. lam aware they do not in name throw this ivei;ht into the Tory scale ; but if the effect should be, as nin:, tioics out of ten l'. will be, to ensure the Tory triutopil, I iftel not say that it is not very material under v,hat name they carry on their ptoccedilq;s. He admits, it) fact, that the League can turn the scale against the Ministers, and throw the ma jority o f t h e H ouse o f Commons on the side f . their o p ponents. S uc h b e i n g its power, its will is decl are d byan l o lo tl w i in er writer term of a letterto the Chronicl e , who signs himself a " Member of the League," in the following tellthe . jo n tl e qhouwest;iobny—t_ini:kin geondues You complain of ; of the Anti-Corn law League at Walsall, and ask, " How it will serve erepeal of the Corn-laws ?"I'll question, to preserve their g other Liber a ls yield on this seats. You must remem ber that it is from w ant o f supportcarried. It is the from pr o f e ssed Li berals, that the questi on is not Liberals in the House of Comn io n prevent it and i , s ; t the Liberal party may make up s il a i their t minds to this, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1841. either to grant the repeal of the Corn-laws, or go out. Sir, you are quite right when you say, that eif the Ir7eeTute pursue tiis course as vil , !aucieF% may cr!,,lr, at a dissolutio. r.l the pr,,ent P.-,rl' i;;i•z:1:., it :equi not the spirit of divination to predict that the Liberal interest will be overthrown. You are quite right ; there is, there can be, "no mistake " about it ; for the League is too powerful for any interests or party to oppose successfully. Seeing this, what should be the conduct of the great Liberal party ? Why, most decidedly to take up the question and settle it. There are but two among the Ministers who are not Repealera to a greater or less degree. Let the two yield, and propose a settlement of the mat ter. We will do our best to obtain total and immediate repeal; and, failing in that, will take the next hest thing we can get. Oh, say you, they could never carry it ; they would be forced to go out. Well, what then ? Do you think the matter would end there ? Surely not ; the people would rally round them, and in sist on their return. Now, I maintain that all Reform. ers :should agree to unite in obtaining one grand mea sure, and then another, and so on ; and they should choose that first which has made the greatest progress in the public mind, and has the greatest support out of doors. Were they to do so, they could, this Session, carry any one point on which they were thus agreed. On the question of the suffrage, opinions vary greatly, and we have not yet enough consolidated strength on any particular plan of extension. On the Ballot we come nearer, and perhaps could unit, ; but on khe reveal of the Corn-laws there is a far greater feeling than on any other question. The peti tioners last Session were a million and a half, a num ber as large as on all other subjects put together. The duty of Liberals is to join with us for repeal; and if they refuse we shall, at all hue Ards, do the best we can for ourselves. If the Whigs are thus forced to go out, then, in opposition, they will perhaps be induced to unite with us, in order to get back again ; and it so, they would be sure to get hack. The Walsall election, then, combined with the conduct of the League, will give a serious blow to the Ministers by the election of Mr. GLADSTONE, or compel them to make the repeal of the Corn laws a Cabinet question. Their fate, perhaps even the fate of the two great parties, and the very exist ence of the aristocracy, hangs on the issue. Of this we are well assured, that the League, which haS hitherto stood aloof from all political parties, will exert all its influence, regardless of all political con sequences, to secure the return of Members pledged to the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws by all the towns interested in that question. Both the members of the League and its opponents agree that such a course will break up the Government, unless the Ministers were to resolve, which we think would be a wise policy, to propose some alteration in the Corn-laws. To carry on the Government and maintain those laws for a much longer period, is beyond the power of any Ministers, and the Whigs may as well have the merit and the benefit of pro posing to abolish them as Sir ROBERT PEEL. Whoever does propose it, though at first resisted by some of the landlords, will in the end be sure to suc ceed. Notwithstanding what is written in the Tory prints, the author of the abolition would gain immortal honour, and we should much rather sec that earned by the Whigs than the Tories. There is a doubt amongst those who are friendly to an alteration, whether the League is not wrong in stickling for total and immediate abolition. But no other course would satisfy the justice of their cause, and we will undertake to show, whenever our adversaries propose to surrender on conditions, that unconditional submission will be most advantageous for them, and most expedient for the nation. It will be time enough, however, to enter on that sub ject when some measure to modify the present law is proposed. We shall only now express our grati fication at the language used by a Member of the League in reference to the union of Reformers. To seek one thing at a time is wise ; and no measure is so important as the Repeal of the Corn-law. The dreadful breach which that law has made in our constitution will never be stopped by such successes as those at Acre and Chusan, glorious though they be, nor by a thousand victories. The safety of the State requires that the people be allowed to pro cure themselves food. We are a little surprised at the discontent shown by some Tory journals at the result of the expedi tion under Admiral ELLIOT. When the diffe rence between China and England became known, a large party, both in Parliament and out of Parlia ment, deprecated the war, and exclaimed loudly against the cruelty of sending troops and ships against the peaceful Chinese. It was then gene. rally understood and agreed on—it was so stated in Parliament—that the expedition was sent to obtain satisfaction and redress. The idea of seizing any large extent of territory, or devastating the sea coast, was repudiated as unjust and impolitic. The expedition was only to use force to obtain redress, and if that could be obtained without a shot, not one was to be fired. Austria and Prussia he has nothing left, and there- 1 fore he prudently says}rothing about them. He poses like crond Christian States as they are, they would be but too happy at witnessing the growing prosperity of their neigh: boors. Our readers may suppose that Mr. STRACHAN is a bit of a humourist, and only crackS a political joke to amuse the mob of Paris. They are mistaken, Mr. STRACHAN is .as serious as a , judge in the act of putting on the black cap. He is troubled with no qualms of conscience, anti makes no more of marching off with a kingdom than one of the Parisian chevaliers dindastrie would easing; an acquaintance of the incumbrance of a watch or a snuff-box. It is a thousand pities that M. TRIERS is not in office to reward by some public employ ment so congenial a spirit as Mr. STRACHAN. Aurally The Post professes good intentions, but it cannot all at once shake off bad habits. While it advocates moderation, and reprobates exaggeration, it asserts this morning that " The Sun hopes and believes that the assertion of the Standard's correspondent is true, refers to the Australian Journals as corroborating a part of it, and boldly maintains that Mr. FROST,, as an oldfriend of the Government, and a stanch supporter of Liberal principles, deserves, not only pardon, but office, and rapid promotion in the QUEEN'S service." Now this is not merely an extravagance or an exaggeration, such as the Post accuses its friends of committing, but the wilful fabrication of an un truth. All that we said was that MinistLr3 would not do wrong if they had lightened Mi. FROST'S sufferings, now that he has lost the power to do mischief. We said not a word about pro motion. Neither can the Post all at once acquire know ledge. In ignorance of the fact that consumers, capitalists, and labourers, may all be benefited by the repeal of the Corn-law, it calls those cheats vi ho affirm that the repeal will have such effects. At present the duty on wheat is 275. Bd. per quarter, say 28s. Now suppose that this sum, being remitted, is divided as follows :-18s. to the labourer, in the price of bread ; ss. to the consumer in the, price of goods ; and ss. to the capitalist as profit;`, will they not all be henefitted ? Something like that would actually occur, and yet the Post, in its ignorance, calls those cheats who affirm it. Our Contemporary is alarmed as to what is to become of the agricultural labourers, who he ex pects will be thrown out of employment. That is a mere fancy of the Post to excuse a wrong. At present there are more labourers in the agricultural districts than can find employment, and whether the surplus be 10 or 1,000, the effect in reducing wages to the lowest possible level is the same. The agricul tural labourers now can scarcely be said to live— they starve. At all times the surplus hands of the rural districts have found employment in towns, and the only effect, as far as the la bourers in agriculture are concerned, of the repeal of the Corn-law, would be to extend that market for their labour in the manu facturing districts, which is the chief means of keeping them from a state of hopeless, helpless dependence, as at present, on the farmers and the squires. The agricultural labourers' wages would be increased, not diminished, by the abolition of the Corn-law. We received last night the Dutch Mail, with news from the Hague, Amsterdam, Hanover, and St. Petersburgh. It appears from a letter, dated Hanover, December 31, that the KING has been indisposed for some days, and was unable to leave his bed'. The Crown Prince still continued unwell, but his illness was not considered dangerous, as had been stated in some papers. His physicians, however, had recommended him to be careful of his health, and not to expose himself to the air until the return of mild weather. The 81. Petersburgh Jour nal publishes an Imperial rescript, conferring on Admiral STOPFORD the Order of St. George of the second class, and at the same time making the Austrian Admiral BANDEIRA, and Captain-Com modore NAPIER, Knights of St. George of the third class. profited by the late amnesty.

The Abbe de Lamennais has surrendered himself a pri soner at St. Pelagic, where he will undergo the year's im prisonment to which he has been sentenced by the Court of Assir-!t. The Journal des Debats hay an art; , le or the= s t i te of partics iu Eugl,t.d. in taiii.4l it atin,Ai.:cmi,-- - " That public manifestations have had much less eclat this year than the year before.

Their banquets have become more sober and more rare their toasts more regular, their akiresses more polite, and their declamation less brutal. The Whigs are even dis appointed at the unexpected good behaviour on the part of their enemies." The use made of Queen Adelaide is then stated : " At certain epochs of the year the Tories draw Queen Adelaide from her modest obscurity, from around a bril liant cortege of her public and private virtues—just as on days of fete pries's bring forth from the tabernacle certain images and relics, which are exposed, covered with mock ornaments, tor the veneration of the faithful."

Securities last time.. Last Report.... The Paris Journals of Thursday, with private advices from the French capital, have been received. In the Committee on the fortifications of Paris, dif ferences had arisen between Marshal SOULT and M. TRIERS—the ex-Minister contending that a grant of eighty millions of francs should be voted immediately for the works, while the illustrious Marshal would only consent to a vote of fifty-four millions. Five Members of the Committee were ready to vote the larger sum, and four to grant only the lesser, so that M. TRIERS has a majority in the Committee. This, however, is of little import ance, as the Ministers calculate upon a considerable majority in the Chamber of Deputies. M. TRIERS was not in a mood to push matters to the last ex tremity. Seeking to stand well with the Court, and deeming the prospect of a return to office safer by means of a modification of the Cabinet than by an attempt to storm the Hotel of Foreign Affairs, it was supposed that he would be content with his victory in the Committee. The French Journals report that the Four PowerS have sent orders from Vienna to the Envoys at Constantinople, to request the SULTAN to send a firman to Alexandria, conferring upon MEHEMET ALI the Pachalic of Egypt, the VICEROY having, previous to the delivery of the fir man, restored the Turkish fleet. If we may place any reliance upon the Con itantinopolitan correspondence of the .s...edtphore and other Frtnch Journals, the agents of Russia are hard at work to persuade the SULTAN to refuse the demands of the other Powers. Russia is dissatisfied with a settlement of the Eastern Question which has not required the presence of a Russian army at Constantinople, consequently there is nothing at all incredible in the reports of the savings and doings of her agents in the East. But even in France it begins to be discovered itincthat a En e oglafndthe pA hasasciiA in E strong an interest as the warmestn, terest in the main- ta supporters of M.

The expedition no sooner made its appearance off the mouth of the Peiho, and a steam-ship crossed the bar of that river, demonstrating to the Chinese that the heart of their country, even Pekin itself, was open to our arms, than the head of the Celestial empire hastened to proffer us the satisfac tion we demanded ; and no sooner does the news of that eminent, and by most people unlooked-for, success reach London, than some of the Tories, who deprecated sending out an expedition at all, and foretold nothing but disasters, became all of a sud den amazingly warlike—scream out against the Ad miral and the Government for not having, as it were, dictated terms to the EMPEROR in his capital. 'We are not yet correctly informed of the terms which Admiral ELLIOT has accepted, but we are quite sure that they are consistent with the great principle avowed at the outset, of obtaining redress for our injuries at the least possible expense or mi•_ chief to the Chinese. Chusan is not given up, and Will not be given up, till the satisfaction is com plete. Indeed we cannot entertain a doubt that the Government had given orders to keep possession of that island, or occupy some other in the Chinese seas, which might serve as a security for future good behaviour on the part of the Chinese Government, and also as an emporium for our trade in that quarter, and a harbour of refuge for British shipping. If any attempt be made to evade the pledges given by the EMPEROR, as some of our Contemporaries suppose will be the case, Eng land will then have a strong corroboration of the propriety of her conduct, and be completely justi fied in the eyes of all nations for compelling by war the Chinese Government to redeem its pledges.

LITERATURE. f ; i;( . .. ,:i~t ,; rr Tins Almanac lolly maintains the character which it so justly obtained four years ago when it appeared for the first time in its present shape. It is equally copious, extending to 528 pages of small but distinct type ; and, exclusive of very complete information respectiny S!otlatifl Oil almost evtn'y connected vvith statistics, &c., it contains the Army and Navy List complete towarils the close of the year, a great number of useful tables, and several articles on dif ferent subjects prepared expressly for the work. It resembles in some respects " Knight's British Al manac, with the Companion," but is mane respects is more comprehensive, as, in addition to the at tic:es specified, it gives the Peerage of England abridged, that of Scotland at length, and a brief historical account of all the present Representatives for Scotland. It is hardly necessary, therefore, to say, that it will be found a very useful book of re ference for persons in every rank of life in the United Kingdom. The following brief memoir of the Attorney-General is taken from the notice on the Members of Parliament for Scotland : Campbell, Sir John, Knight, her Majesty's Attorney- General (Edinburgh), born 1778, second son of the late George Campbell, DD., Minister of Cupar, in Fifeshire, from 1771 till 1825, and Magdalene, only daughter of John Hailyburton, Esq., of the Fodderance ; wat called to the bar in 1807 ; married 1821 llon. Mary Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Lord Abinger, created in 1836 B.troness Stratheden, and has issue; held the office of Solicitor- General from 1832 to 1834; was appointed Attorney- G:-neral in 1834, and has again held the office since April 1835 ; sat for Stafford in 1830 and 1831, and for Dudley from 1832 to 1834 ; has represented the city since 1834 .

Among the various scientific, literary, &C, arti cles of which the volumes before us consist, we have been particularly pleased with the biographi cal account of the well-known Horne Tooke, which, brief as it is, gives a very accurate estimate of hiS character—indeed, tells us all about him that we care to know. Though a clever, well-read man, and an acute politician, Tooke did little or nothing, whether in literature or in politics, that should cause his name to be handed down to posterity. his chief excellence was a clear and vigorous un derstanding, of a decidedly practical character, which rendered him formidable to his opponents—espe cially the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Fletcher Norton, who used to tremble whenever he heard his name mentioned. Had he but given his tobust, manly intellect fair play, and not have frittered away his energies, now in squabbling with Wilkes and Junius, and now in mixing himself up with petty legal questions, unworthy the serious consideration of such a man—had Tooke, in short, abjured ultra-Radical politics, and stuck steadily to the law, there is little doubt that he would have be come the first lawyer of his day, for his talents were precisely of a nature calcu lated to win him fame and fortune in this difficult profession. At present he is chiefly re membered for his great conversational abilities ; but in a few years lie will be altogether forgotten, for his " Diversions of Purley" —an etymological work on which he greatly prided himself—is, however in genious, and at times witty, of far too superficial a character to ensure the favourable suffrages of pos terity. Of the numerous other essays, criticisms, and biographies to be found in these volumes, we must content ourselves with saying, that they are each and all written with that tact for which this Encyclopiadia has ever been remarkable. THE CRACKS OF THE DAY. Ackermann, London, 1840. In this work, which is handsomely got up, and is devoted to sporting subjects, we have full par ticulars respecting many of the most celebrated races that have taken place at Epsom, Newmarket, Doncaster, and elsewhere, for the last ten or twenty years and upwards. The volume is embellished with numerous portraits of well-known race-horses and their sporting owners, and, to ou r thi n ki ng , t h e horses are the most intelligent looking animals of the two. THE LATE STORM. CAMBRIDGE OBSERVATORY.—SIOTGIS at this season are so rare and unaccountable, that we cannot assign any de finite power or effect it may have on our atmosphere. On the night of Saturday, Jan. 2, the clouds were much curled, betokening storm ; during the night there was a gale of wind; it, gusts, from N. N. W., with a rapidly-falling barometer; from a few minutes before seven o'clock until a quarter after, the thunder and lightning raged with extreme violence, accompanied by a heavy shower of hail, which seems to have accompanied it in every place ; at one time the thunder-clap was heard simultaneously, with the violet coloured lightning being seen. It has been traced by the several times from the north of Yorkshire, to Nottingham, Wolverhamp , on, Northampton, Cambridge, London, Es. sex, and Kent, in succession, and its speed of transit seems to have been more than 60 miles per hour ; it must have been a hundred miles in width, and equally violent at every part, or have traversed the country in a succession of curves. Immediately after the storm bad passed over Greens ich, the wind changed to W. by S., and the barometer was at 29in. 2, having fallen a tenth of an inch each hour since eleven o'clock the preceding evening; it has been succeeded by frequent showers of snow and a very sharp frost : unfortunately my register thermometers were em bedded in snow until this (Friday) morning ; when cleared they were at 12 degrees, which was the lowest they had IR en ; it was, however, the temperature of the snow, not the air, which we may safely allow was five degrees lower during the night. This Right will probably be colder than either last night or the one before, as at 4 o'clock, p.m., the temperature was 19 degrees below freez ing point. J. GLAISHER. HORRIBLE MURDER AND MUTILATION OF A CIIILD.—About half-past one o'clock yesterday after noon, as Captain Prescott, of Park -street, Walworth, was crossing Waterloo-bridge, accompanied by Mr. Thomas Isaac, of No. 5, Seymour-place, Walworth, his attention was drawn to a brown-paper parcel lying on the parapet of the bridge, within the balustrades. The outside wrapper was a piece of brown paper, the next a napkin, and then came a stout linen sheet, which, upon being opened, dis covered the body of a full-grown male child, apparently about four or five days old, and evidently horn alive. The head was severed from the body, as also were the legs and arms. One of the cloths in which the child was wrapped was found marked "W. H. No. 1." The re mains were conveyed in the sheet in which they were found to the residence of Mr. Havers, the parish surgeon of Lambeth, No. 13, York-road, but that gentleman has not yet had an opportunity of making more than a cursory inspection of them ; but he discovered that some portions of the body were waning, and the police have received in strucjons to use their utmost endeavours to discover the missing parts. It is somewhat singular that Mr. Havers was engaged in examining the remains of the unfortunate. Hannah Brown, who was murdered and subsequently cut to pieces by Greenacre. Up to a late hour last night the police had obtained no clue to the unnatural perpetrator of the atrocity. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AMERCAN TRADE. —The improvement which we have had occasion to notice in the American trade durng the last few weeks still con tinues. The packet-ships which sail weekly are all taking out full freights. The Virginian, which sails to-day, has upwards of 1,5001. of freight on board She carries out an immense quantity of goods, and 175 packages, intended to have been sent by her, must await the departure of the North Ametiea, owing to want of room. The last named vessel, which sails on the 7th, has already a considerable part of her cargo engaged. The change in the financial system of the United States, contingent on the election of General Harrison to the Presidential chair, promises to keep the manufacturing districts in a more than usual state of activity. The benefit of the change is already be ginning to be felt ; and, if the policy of the new President be of that liberal and comprehensive cast which the com mercial classes have a right to anticipate, it must consi_ derably extend the business relations of the two countries during his term of office. The existing tariff expires, we believe, this year, and fears are expressed by sonic of the New York papers that the necessities of the Government will compel it to make the new tariff less favourable to British imports than the oid one. lhist,hehoswuepvpeo;rtewrosulodf be at variance with the policy which ' General Harrison, in all the Atlantic cities have a right to expect. CANTERBURY LIONS.--WONDERFUL BIRTH AT WOMBWELL'S MENAGERIE.-The noble British lioness on Sunddy evening last gave birth to five remarkably fine rubs, in Wolubvveti's menagerie, now open for inspection in lite Cattle market, in Canterbury. There are two te- Irides and three males, and all in pet feet health. Such an occurrence as the bringing forth of five young ones is unprecedented, lour being the greatest number ever before recorded as being produced at one birth. We urge our fellow-citizens to lose no time in viewing them whilst they are young. The keeper who puts :be other tigers, leo pards, &c., through their wonderful and almost incredible performances in the adjoining den, has the superinten dence of the young family, whom ha treats with all the care and assiduity cf a tender nurse. Mr. Wombwell is the greatest lion breeder in the world. He has bred up, wards of 120 of those animais within the last 24 years. The lioness is a very fine one she wait tubbed in the town of Keigbley, in the county of York, on the 17th L-f December, 18:31, and has within four years . pro. duccd no legs than 16 liens and lionesses r—the first jitter in th:3 city of Cambridge, on the 28:h November, )836 ; the second at Stoutbridge, in the e6tooy of Wc:reest.,-, August, )838; the third at Nottingham, on the 6th Oc tot), r, 1839 ; and lastly, in this coy.

(Ttacts for the Times, vol. i. Nos. 38 and 41). There fore the first Refoltnation and its originators arc abused. " I am becoming every day a less and less loyal son ore , e Reformation" (Frouda's Remains, vol. i., p. 336 . ). AS to the Reformers, I think worse and worse of Jewell was what you would call in these days an irre, tt Dissenter.

The Reformation is, "of course, pain ful in as far as it indicates disunion, however unavoidable , b-tvrecn two members of the same Christian Olkeley's Sermon, Col. 2, 10, p. 8). Froude's treatownt of Bishop Jewell is vindicated in a second part of his '• mains 'now published, and it is asserted that the Reformers , as a party, are not to be trusted on ecclesiastical or theo logical questions. 1 hey ascribe " mysterious powers" to the episcopal'', ordained clergy. " They h ave powers mysterious an d awful, which no mere human being could of himself pr,e . tend to possess" (Sewell's Christian Morals, p. 33)' " Once more their powers are very great ; they are e yed awful" ( 'bid, p. 27). Likewise " Pussy's Letter." They believe in the doctrine of the real presence ie the .Eucharist. " The real presence of Christ is there OD the Eucharist) independently of our faith" (Pusey's Le' ter, p. 128). " I should like to know why you flinch froo saying that the power of making the body and blood of Christ is vested in the successors of the Apostles" (Fronde , vol. i., p. 326). They attach the same importance to tradition as t o the Scriptures. " The unwritten word of God, if it can be any how authenticated, must necessarily demand the sam e reverence from us as the Scriptures did from the first Christions" (Kcble's Visitation Sermon, p. 26). They consider the expression " Lord's Table" to be se polluted by Protestant use as to compel them to adopt the word altar (Fronde, vol. i. , p. 326, 395), which s hould not be shaocd by the pulpit, being " more sacred than the Holy of Holies was in the Jewish Temple" (Ibid, p. 372)' They regard " the Sacraments and not preaching as the sources of divine grace" ( Tracts, voi. i., pref. p. 4)• " Preaching is rather an adjunct of the Church's divine system than a leading feature of it" (Oakeley's S.:rinon es Cul. 2, 10). They desire that the sermon be preached from the altar' steps, the priest pray with bis back towards the people, ad the congregation turn inva r i a bl y to the east ( Tract, 86, p. 26. Fronde, vol. i., p. 365 ). They would easily unite with the Romish Church if sbe would throw aside her anathemas, for the differences be' tween us arc not fundamental (Perceval's Roman Saliva. Introduction, p. xix). She is styled our mother, throne whom we were born to Chri s t (T racts, vol. iii., I n tro& p. 34). " Our spiritual parent, over whose errors in irer earlier days we should dutifully mourn" (British Cr!n, July 1836, p. 82). " G o d' s f avoure d instrument of good, (Ibid, p. 79). Further, the Romish Churches are sei ° even now to be true Churches, and her errors excusable: and that the Romanists generally ought not to be regarde° as heretics (Palmer's Treatise on the Church, vol. 1! p. 433). . - Teey describe the Revolution of 1688 as a sin (PuseY, Sermon, on Nov, 5, p. 41). " A very great sin" (Oakeley Sermon, p. 8). Bloody Queen Mary's character is to be venerates, Elizabeth's, in comparison, condemned (Sewell:a ChriP tian Morals, p. 379). " Dissent" , is trumpeted forth "as a more fatal tyran?i and a more unauthorised usurpation than Popery" ( pp. 52, 185). And " Dissenting communities, whek r collectively or indi v id ua lly cons id ere d , form no part of , Church of Christ" ( Palmer, p. 399). And, to the Episcopal Church, " every individual ° bound to unite himself as being exclusively and solely, t be , way of salvation, established by Divine authority anione us" ( Palmer, p. 214). _ . These extracts, I think, Sir, will sufficiently point V II the principle* of the Oxford School, and fully demoroarsit t the tendencies of such a system.
