LONDON: FRIDAY, JULY 2, 1841 Sir ROBERT PEEL appears, by his Tamworth speech, to have become quite enamoured of the Corn-law. The passages we yesterday quoted proved its negative advantages. It has not, ac cording to the Right Hon. Baronet, been the cause of our manufacturing distress ; but he went much further than this, and insinuated that it was the cause of our national prospeyity. With that dexterity in argument which he has acquired from continually debating for victory without considering the truth or falsehood of the question at issue, he used the statements of his opponents to m ake out his case. Quoti ng M r. • McCuLLocu's late pamphlet, he said— • The object of the pamphlet is to prove the advant age of the substitution of a fixed duty on corn; but M r . M'Oulloch, wri ; and impartially, and not lend ing ing his aid to t e t fairly dissenwiatio.ns.of those gross delusions by public indig nat i o n n by which, in manufatturing districts, has been excited, makes these admissions with respect to agriculture :—" The price o f „heat in England, at an average of the ten years ending with 1820, ter. was no less than 86s. 3d. a price has since been reduced to Its averag e ta 56tsh. this ld tr . em (s e a n y . 575.5 a quarter, and, notwithstand ing dous fall, a most extraordinary improve ment has taken place in agriculture since 1820, O we now provide for an additional populationsuch so that of at least seven millions, not only without any in crease, but With a very considerable dirfainution of im portation." Gentlemen, these are important facts. The price of whe a t has been reduced under the operation of the present Corn-laws from 86s; per quarter to 575., and yet, notwithstanding this reduction of price, agriculture has improved, and there has been derived from the land of this country an additional supply of corn for 7,000,000 of our population. This is a great advantage to have realised. He subsequently added— While I admit the present distressed state of manufac tures and commerce in this country, that that distress is not attributable to the Corn-laws, and that we should be acting an unwise part if, under the pressure of difficulty, which I believe to be temporary, we were to make a ra dical, fundamental change in the laws which regulate the application of capital to the cultivation of land. Afterwards Sir R. PEEL quoted some state ments made by Lord PALMERSTON on the 2-2 d of July, 1840, with a view of showing that Ministers had not neglected the commerce of the country as to the increase of trade, and Sir ROBERT added— This is the testimony of the Foreign Minister of this country with respect to the increase of the trade and commerce of this country from the year 1830 to 1839, during the whole of which period the present Corn-laws were in operation. This boasting of the progressive in crease of our commerce makes me doubt whether the operation of the Corn-laws can be fairly assigned as the cause of the present manufacturing and commercial dis tress. Now combining these remarks with the re marks as to the great increase in our agricultural Productions, and Sir R. PEEL'S declared attach tnent to a protective duty, it is fair to conclude that he attributes the national prosperity to the Corn-laws, which regulate, according to him, the application of capital to land. The following passag e may be considered, in fact as quite posi tive, coming from so cautious a speaker• We must t a k e care lest in a well-inten t. d.— in this di l s ° t n ri e ct oenr4ieatvrtr to remedy the di stress existing we run the risk of un d erm i ning thefoundations of nantionaal 4,10 (1.1.1 , • . 1 :210 - 44, ercZ: /1 52 P 0 , to , m 0 t, gte prosperity; and I cannot help thinking that if we did di minish the agricultural prosperity of this country—if we did disturb the application of capital to land, so far from increasing the demand for our manufactures, we might be affecting the home trade, and only adding to the pri vations and sufferings of those who live by manufactur ing labour.—(Near, hear.) It is by a careful considera tion of those causes that I have come to the conclusion that we are not so called on, and that I do think it of such immense importance that we should make our selves, as far as we can consistently with the mainte nance of a moderate price, independent of foreign supply.—(Cheers.) It is on this account, seeing how rapidly the skill in agriculture had increased ; seeing that, according to the admission of Mr. 31`Culloch, that prices are falling, and yet that we have been enabled to support 7,000,000 of people by our own produce more than we supported twenty years ago, that I am induced to come with him to the conclusion that a prudent states man would pause before he disturbed the principle of the existing Corn-law—that Corn-law which, when you have abundance at home, excludes foreign corn from competi tion; but which, when prices rise, admits foreign corn witout a duty.—(Cheers.) I say that system was a manifest advantage over the other, because I do not be lieve it would be possible, when corn did rise to a height which would-subject the people of this country to great privations, to continue to levy the duty of Bs. on foreign corn. From Sir ROBERT PEEL, then, the suffering and starving workmen, and the decaying manu facturers, have nothing whatever to hope. He is thoroughly convinced that their distress is only temporary, and that the Corn-laws, so far from having any part in causing it, have encouraged the application of capital to land, and laid the foundations of our national prosperity. It is not in our power to point out exactly the desires which have suggested to the Right Hon. Baro net's mind so many arguments in favour of the present system ; but we are at liberty to conjec ture that his wishes to be at . the head of the county gentlemen, and to preserve his right to a share of:the bread-tax, which he or his father Wright, wheft they bought Drayton Manor, have I?eeh the prolific parents of more delusive arguments than we have supposed it possible even fot the brains of Sir ROBERT PEEL to furnish. The country, says Sir ROBERT, in great ex ultation, seizing hold of Mr. M'CuLLocu's statement, has grown food under the protec tive system for seven millions more persons, since 1820, than before existed. Seven mil lions is about one-fourth of the whole popu lation, from which it follows that since 1820 the productions of agriculture have increased one-fourth under the protective system. But what, in the same period, has been the increase of manufacturing productions, which not only have not had the advantage of any protective system, but have been obliged, by the tax on corn, to contribute to the prosperity of agricul turists? Why, Sir ROBERT PEEL in the same speech, and we will not go beyond it to find mate rials to expose its fallacies, showed that in the ten years only, between 1830 and 1840, our exports had increased from 38,000,0001. to 53,000,0001. or more than one-third, and that in the same periods our imports had increased from 46,000,000/. to 62,000,0001., or more than one fourth. But these are only indications of the vast increase of our manufacturing wealth. The agriculturists have, throughout the period, re ceived an ample reward for all their productions. If we were to say, therefore, that while the pro ductions of protected agriculture have increased one-fourth since 1820, the productions of unpro tected and even oppressed manufacture have in creased four-fold, we should not be far wide of the mark. It is clear, therefore, that the pro tection cannot be the cause of the increase, for it has been greater in that branch of industry which has been unprotected. In the paragraph, too, quoted from Mr. MACUL-. LOCH, it is asserted that the increased produc tions of agriculture have taken place with falling prices, ,while the intention of the law was to keep the prices from falling. The mode, there fore, in which the Legislature intended the law to operate, and encourage the application of ca pital to land, was never realised. It is well known that between 182'2 and 1828 the price of corn never reached the price at which importation was allowed ; so that the views of the Legislature were completely falsified. If the protection af forded to agriculture has been, as supposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, the cause of the national prosperity, it is clear that' the Legislature did good by mistake, for it meant, to the year 1828, to keep the price of wheat up to 80s., while in fact it fell to below 60s. The plain explanation of all this - increase, both in manufactures and agriculture, is that there is in human nature an irrepressible spring'pf pros perity. Mankind have a tendency to increase, and each generation strives to improve on the condition of its predecessor. Hence a continual extension of arts and a continual increase of wealth. Government, and so-called protective laws, cannot wholly dry up this spring, but they can do nothing to make it flow with increased force beyond securing to each man the enjoy ment of his own property. This natural spring of prosperity has overflowed the land with an inge nious, industrious population, who, both by their wants and their produce, have stimulated the appli cation of capital to land, of which the result is the increase of one-fourth of our agricultural produc tions. The Corn-law, which takes away the property of the industrious manufacturer and the industrious consumer, to give something more to the idle owner of rent, has had no more to do with increasing the prosperity it has been unable to destroy than the basket and the ballast at tached to a balloon have to do with raising it in the atmosphere. The power within it enables it to carry them aloft, but they impede its flight. Unless protection and no protection have the same effects—unless high price stimulates the increase of agricultural production, and low price stimulates the increase of ma nufacturing production—unless a law which has only operated by mistake has caused national prosperity—unless legislation can mul tiply the people and extend arts and knowledge, Sir R. PEEL has made out no case for the Corn laws, by merely showing that, in conjunction with them, there has been an increase of the national wealth. Since 1820, the increase of crime, according to the statistical returns, has been greater than the increase of the people; and it is far more rational, though Sir R. PEEL will not accept that as a consequence of his protective system, to ascribe the increase of crime, than the increase of people and of p ro d uce , t o a l aw the very es sence of in order to enri c h the e is idl t e o . rob the indus trious Since the commencement of shouts tot of the Tory f a ction on the progre ss of th the week we have been quite stunn e d w i th the generalmad thjoy, a election . e They seem to be absolutelyton • so rry should we be to disturb their hilarity (for nd they have been in a state of starvation for the l a st eleven years, and deserve pi ty rather than reproac h); but for their own sak es , as well as for the interest of the great body of the p eo pl e, it may be proper to ask, what cause they h ave for rejoicing? All that they .have gained in the great metropolitan boroughs is only one Member. Capt. Rous succeeded in Westminster entirely from the apathy of the electors towards their Members in the last Parliament; the race in the City, notwithstanding all the powerful interests arrayed against the Liberal candidates, was a dead heat; in Greenwich and Marylebone the Tories have been shamefully defeated; in Fins bury neither Saint TooxE, nor any other of his tribe, durst face the heathens DUNCOMBE and WAKLEY ; and in the Tower Hamlets, though three candidates (foolishly, we must say) divided the Liberal interest in favour of the rejected of Worcester, ROBINSON had more than 2,000 voters fewer than Fox. Are these causes for rejoicing? We have the returns already of between 200 and 300 Members, and our Evening Tory Contemporary, who boasted that Sir Ro- BERT PEEL, in 1835, would have carried the Speakership and the Address but for the melan choly accident which befel some of his sup porters who were " snowed up," and never were heard of, only claims ten of a majority at present, intentionally, as usual, falsifying the re- 2,736 2,711 2,160 2,145 20 3,288 3,261 2,654 2,641 • 3,167 3,170 66 THE SUN LONDON, FRIDAY turns by leaving out of its list Beverley, Green wich, and Marylebone, where the Liberals have gained three votes, thus giving a majority of only seven in favour of Sir R. PEEL. We may add to these South Shields, for which the Libe ral candidate, Mr. WAWN, has been to a cer tainty returned, and replaced Mr. IrwatAirt, the 'Dry. So that, taking into account the great nprnber of rotten boroughs in possession of the Tories, and Tory-Whig landlords, which have returned Members without opposition, the mono polists have no cause to boast. The Goyernment will lose some votes in the English counties, and one or two, perhaps, in the Scotch counties, while they may gain the only burgh op posed to them. Ireland, will, as usual; re turn her fair proportion, and something more and, deducting the eight Liberals that ab sented themselves on the No-Confidence question, from the majority which the Tories anticipated) Sir ROBERT PEEL will find that he has gained but little by the dissolution of Parliament. We will wait, however, patiently for the result. What ever it may be, the great questions which agitate the country must finally be carried, and carried too by the Liberal party which introduced them. Though from their slackness in pushing Reform for the last few years they have disheartened their followers, the public cannot forget the beneficial changes which have taken place since 1832, and will soon contrast them with the deeds of the monopolists who have burdened the coun try with an enormous debt, who have refused every species of reform, ) till it was forced from them, and who are still determined to maintain their character to the last. The number of the Quarterly Review just pub lished calls the Reform Bill an enormous folly. There can be no doubt, therefore, that the Tories; whose organ the Quarterly is, will try to repair that enormous folly. They will, V they can, re peal the Reform Act. They will try to destroy this partial enfranchisement of the people with out enfranchising, one person in lieu of it. Whether they will follow the covert and cowardly scheme of Lord STANLEY, and disfranchise the peOple on pretence of perjury—whether they will sharpen the registration and so cut off the voters, or whether they will have the courage to attempt, openly, to force the country backward through another revolution, we cannot say, but that they will undo what they call an enormous folly, when they have the power, there can be no doubt. The Review, complains of the over-dose of poison which has been administered of late by the Press, to the people, On'the subject of the Corn law, "endangering the peace as well as the pros perity of the country." It attributes this to the existence of " such a Ministry," and feels in creased regret " that we must be subject for a month longer to such shameless misrule. " The Tories have long given a noble preference to the Orange mode of government in use in Ireland, and would employ the triangle or the pitch-cap to repress those opinions which they regard as poison. They live in joyous expectation of their advent to power, when an end will be at once put to the present freedom of discussion, which the Reviewer calls misrule. He feels that the landlords are too roughly assailed. He has no objection to the Press discussing the burdens borne by the land here and abroad, about which neither he nor any one else has any ac curate information; he will allow us to write at any length about the possible price at which corn can be raised in different countries, about which nothing is known; we may dilate end lessly concerning the fertility of Hungary, and the sterility of the cold clay lands of England ; but directly the press approaches the confines of mo ral science, and describes the landlords' tax as a robbery and a wrong, then it maddens the peo ple, then it poisons them, and a dose of bayonet and gaol is demanded to restrain the exhibitions of the Press. It is plain, that whenever the Tories come into power, they will try to overthrow all the liber ties which, in modern times, have been wrung from the aristocracy. As soon as they can, they will take measures to protect the owners of the bread-tax from being annoyed by the winged words of the Press. They will suppress every truth which is unpleasing to them. We know from their own conduct that they have no ob jection to calumniate her MAJESTY, but to speak in plain and honest terms of the aris tocracy is treason according to their law. Their present views suggest an unfortu nate parallel. Nearly twelve years ago, a Ministry .took office in France with a view of undoing the few liberties the French had achieved. They tried to put down the Press, and they brought about the revolution of 1830. The Tories would form a POLICNAC Ministry, but thank P-OD they will not find on the throne a bigot CHARLES X. to support fanatical attacks on freedom, nor will they have to deal with a people prone to take terrible and sudden ven geance. The English are experienced in putting out Ministers without convulsing the empire. Should the Tories carry out their POLIGNAC prin ciples, execration double-spotted will sink them for ever. Withering scorn will palsy their hands as they attempt to sign their arbitrary decrees, and they will die away and disappear before the national contempt and indignation. The Overland Mail from India has arrived, bringing general, but not very important news from Canton, Bombay, Calcutta, the Scinde, Alexandria, Constantinople, Candia, and Malta, a complete summary of which will be found in another part of The Sun. We see with great pleasure that Mr. W. ;ADAMS SMITE( is announced as the Liberal Candidate for Dud ley, against Capt. HAWKES. The Dudley Reformers may be assured that they have selected the right man ; and we trust that the electors of that borough will imi tate the noble example of their Walsall neighbeurs,by de feating the old Tory mis-representative of Dudley. If the constituency can resist the Parson and Intimidation influences, the return of Mr. SMITH will be certain. We understand that the borough is contested also with a view to an ultimate inquiry in a Committee of the House of Commons. . _ We have received by express from Paris the Moniteur of Wednesday, from which we copy the following tele graphic despatches : " BAYONNE, JUNE 29.—1 n the sitting of the 25th the Committee of the Senate proposed that tile guardianship should be declared vacant by a majority of 3 votes to 2." Our advices from Madrid of the 23d state, that the Govern ment was likely to obtain an advance of 30,000,000 of reels from the capitalists on the mortgage of the proceeds of the salt monopoly. The military peace establishment would, it was expected, be fixed at 100,000 men. Our Paris correspondence of tuesday shows us that some sensation has been produced in the French metro polis by the unequal manner in which it is said the ford fications are now being conducted. It was understood, nominally that is to say, by the Chamber of Deputies, that the works of the continuous line of wall with the ditch, &c., should be carried on simultaneously with those of the detached forts,—the Bastiles, as they live been more properly called. Nobody, however, who had any insight into the designs of the Court, or knew the slippery character of Louis PHILIPPE'S tortuous po licy, was mistaken as to the anxiety of the KING to get the law of the fortifications voted ; every one knew that the detached fort system was a favourite scheme of the KING; and many apprehended what has since been shown to be the case, that the forts would be constructed ra pidly, and with much care, while the continuous line would be left to get on as it could : in other words, that the fortifications against the Parisians would be terminated much sooner, and would be much stronger than those against the imaginary enemy. This turns out to be exactly the case ; the forts are rising rapidly : one or two of them commanding the more turbulent parts of the capital will be ready for ser vice in two or three months, whereas the continuous wall will not be worthy of that name for two or three years. The Parisians are beginning to find themselves entrapped, but the horse will find that he has got a rider on his back too late. Louis PHILIPPE with his forts will keep firm on his back, and though the National, as we see, recommends that the inhabitants should not pay the taxes if they find them diverted in this manner from their legitimate object, there is no doubt that the Govern ment has obtained, and will daily receive fresh acces sions of physical, if n o t moral, force, fromevery shovel full of earth heaped on to the bastions of the new bastiles. The project, already commenced, of refort i fy i ng t h e Chateau of Vincennes, seems to have disturbed the equa nimity of several of our Parisian contemporaries. The measures taken by Marshal Sot= of sending ULY 2, 1841: General Bou.a.Tom.y to Lisle under arrest, has elicited criticisms from most of the organs of the public press. It is commonly looked on as a hasty, injudicious step — the only fault of which Marshal SOULT could ostensibly complain being that the General, not content with ad dressing a remonstrance to him, had communicated it to several journals, and thus had appealed to public opinion in his quarrel with his superior officer. The expression Les bayonnettes intelligentes turns out to be the pendant of the Charte-verite. The Marshal sees no reason why he should stick at trifles when the " Grand Escamoteur" has played off his tricks so successfully, and has cajoled with such signal impunity, the credulity of the French public. • A rumour is current in Paris, and it is not devoid of probability, that the Great Powers of Europe—England, , Russia, Austria, and Prussia—that is to say, to the exclusion of France, are deliberating on the measures they shall adopt in case of certain eventualities, which are not impossible coming to pass in the East. Not that apprehensions are entertained of any opposition from MEHEMET ALI to the settlement now effected by the Conference of London ; but if, which has happened more than once, a sudden domestic revolution should occur at Constantinople ; if the young SULTAN should suddenly die, by poison or other causes not unknown to the annalists of the Seraglio, or if the present disorganization of the European arid Asiatic provinces of the Ottoman Empire should increase rather than diminish :—in any of these circumstances the Great Powers might be forced, in order to preserve the peace of the world, to in terfere on an extensive scale, and perhaps to make a complete resettlement of the States in that part of Europe. Without their ideas extending to a partition of the Ottoman Empire; they are believed to be occupied in making amicable arrangements beforehand for the relative parts they shall play in this great political drama ; and they are said to be agreed on one point—to let France have as little to do with the matter as possible. One division of the Toulon fleet, under Captain LERAY, has sailed, nominally for Tunis. The Toulon Papers insinuate that after a cruise off that part of the African coast these vessels will sail to the west, and will help in effectitg changes of regiments between Algiers and France. This is highly improbable ; persons in well informed quarters consider the sailing of the fleet in two divisions (the other is under Admiral DE LASSUSSE) to the south, ,to have been ordered with the idea of not awakening too much suspicion • and that the divisions will ultimately join either off dandia, or somewhere in the Archipelago. There is said to be a division in the little Court of.. Don CAnLoa, at Bourges, where a party is endeavouring to set up pretensions on the art of that Prince's eldest son against those of his father's to the Crown of Spain:, to bring about in fact the abdication of Don CAnLos in his favour, thereby placidg, those Princes on a similar footing to the Duke D'ANGOULEME and the Duke de BORDEAUX'', with regard to France ; the two latter, how ever, being uncle and nephew, instead of father and son. The Prince of the ASTURIAS is a man of more ability, perhaps, than his sire, but there is not much likelihood of anything of this kind taking place. Meanwhile, Don CARLOS continues to exercise acts of sovereignty among his immediate followers, and dispenses nominations and promotions, civil, military, and ecclesiastical, just as if he were enthroned at Madrid. The Prince of PRUSSIA has returned from Magdeburg to Berlin, and the Grand Duke and Duchess of MECII LENDURG STRELITZ have arrived in the same capital from New Strelitz, the fetes consequent on the marriage of their daughter with the Crown Prince of DENMARK being determined. Prince BERNARD, of Solons-Braunfels, is also among the arrivals at Berlin from Hanover. The Danish man-of-war Christiern VIII. was off Warne munde on the 19th inst., waiting to convey the Crown Prince of DENMARK and his Consort to Copenhagen. Preparations on a grand, scale had been made in that capital for receiving their Royal Highnesses on the 21st. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. The election excitement in the City having in part subsided, attention . is gradually reverting back to busi ness matters. The numerous petitions coming over from the British North American colonies seem to point to the necessity of some modification in the Minis terial plan respecting the timber duties, which many staunch friends of the Government seem to think may be advantageously effected, by not raising the duty on Canadian produce, but letting it', stand as at present, while the reduction should be made in the Baltic staple only. The express, in anticipation of the overland mail, does not, of course, bring private letters, except to a very few parties ; and the main points are therefore detailed in another part of The Sun. The Tea Market became very dull upon receipt of them. In some measure the stoppage of Whitmore and Wells' bank has tightened the Money Market, and thus rather ncreased the difficulties attendinhr the preparations for ipaying the bills of exchange falling due on the 4th in stant. The funds, however, have been very firm again to-day.

On Tuesday last, 'at nine o'clock in the morning, the Portu guese brig Dous Tevereiro, a slaver, was brought into Berbice. She had been captured by her Majesty's schooner Fawn, when cruising on the Brazil station, and carried to Rio Janeiro. The number of slaves the prize originally shipped from An gola, on the African coast, was 510, but when taken they were reduced to 380, of which 180 were ordered by the British au thorities in Rio to be conveyed to the nearest British pert, and, this being New Amsterdam, Berbice, they were brought thither ; the remainder was left at Rio, on board her Majesty's frigate Transeent, a vessel kept for that purpose. Of the 180, twenty died on the passage from Rio to Berbice. The prize is a brig of 250 to 280 tons. They consisted of men, women, and boys, the most of them are very young, and in a most miserable condition. Plantation Peter's Hall was purchased by the securities of Mr. John Osborne and Mr. T. C.

In an article on " The Present Duty of Re formers," Tait justly observes, "although the Tories should come in, maimed and halting, with a slender majority of from ten, to twenty or thirty 'votes, there is no cause for discouragement. Ultimate victory is but a question of time, and may be the more complete if, having been fiercely striven for, it is hardly won. We have always had much faith in the uses of a powerful and united Opposition." We agree with Tait, that in the fierce Parliamentary struggle that will shortly be resumed between the Liberal party and the Tories, the victory will ultimately be with the former, unless, indeed, the latter consent to throw overboard all their long cherished schemes, and adopt a generous and conciliatory course of policy. But this they can not do, for the majority of the faction consists of incurable bigots, who would unhesitatingly abandon their leaders the instant they found them adopting enlightened views of legisla tion. As they acted towards Sir Robert Peel, when, in spite of them, he carried Catholic emancipation, so would they act again, were he to venture to set at nought any one of their dar ling prejudiges. As the writer remarks, " the Tories will grapple their pillage to the last, and die in the last ditch in defence of their right to tax our food." It is this tenacity of purpose which disregards all prudential considerations, that will , ere long, we confidently predict, prove the utter ruin of Toryism. The " Hairy-iVlug Mania, or Pussy-Puppyism," is a quiz on the prevalent rage for huge whiskers and mustachios. It is very silly—indeed, in places, is scarcely in telligible. " More Light on the Danube " gives ,some entertaining particulars respecting some of the numerous towns and cities that lie along the course of this majestic stream. The writer hits off his descriptions with ease and tact. "The Green Gauntlet" is tIT-eontinuation of a story, the first portion of which has already appeared in this Magazine. The battle of New Ross be tween the King's troops and the rebels, in the dreadful year 1798, is related with a vi g our equal to that which Baynim has shown, in iis account of the same sanguinary conflict in the " Croppy." " Life and Remains of L. E. L." is' a kindly critical notice of the lately well-written remains of this lamented lady. From the " Ode to Loch Lomond we quote a pleasing passage or two:— 'Tis morn, and o'er Ben Lomond's brow Flings the pale moon her parting glow ; Resumes the sun his orient dress, And bathes the lake in loveliness ; And gilds the isles that o'er it lie Like clouds on an inverted sky ; In bracing sweep the early breeze Comes forth to wake the drowsy trees ; The fisher hoists his patch of sail, And spreads it to the kindly gale ; While hoarse and rude the wild-fowl screams, As if to scare thy deep night dreams ; Oh rthen, blessed Lake, what heart so dull AS not to feel thee beautiful ! Bright Lake, from yon blue canopy The mid-day sun now smiles on thee ! Full fain his hot red beams to lave .Deep, deep, beneath thy gelid wave, As he, all warm in love's young joy, That wooes a maiden cold and coy : The birds that flit thy margin by Imbue the air with melody : . The fishes 'neath thy waters play. And there hold blythsome holiday : The rustic's whistling o'er his plough, The kine are on the mountain's brow ; The lambs frisk round the shepherd boy ; In ripples smooth thou smil'st thy joy, And prattling babes thy pebbles cull, — Oh now too thou art beautiful In rich red hues the gorgeous even Now steeps the deep serene of heaven : Wearied of play the little springs Now hush in thee their murmurings, As romping children, sport opprest, Couch calmly on their mother's breast. Now youths 'and . maidens pace thy shore, And con the heart's loved lesson o'er ; Or pause to list the strains that float . Across thee from the distant boat ; And feel, as breast to breast is heating, • A&cheek with cheek is purely meeting, As eye to eye fond tale is telling, And soul to soul is softly swelling—. Feel that if bliss on earth there be, "ris theirs this holy eve by thee ; At twilight's hour so calm, so cool, 0 Lake, thou'rt e'en more beautiful. THE CHURCHMAN. There is an intelligent• essay in the Number before us, on " Christian Education," which de serves the reader's attention, for it is penned in a placid, Catholic spirit. The following remark is perfectly just, and borne out by experience : " The Encyclopaedist, when we put him down to distinct branches of study, becomes little over parts, though mighty in a whole; the generalizer becomes the worst individualizer conceivable." " Fairy Mythology" is a curious paper, by the Rev. H. Christmas. The poetry of the Number is little, if at all, above absolute common-place, BOURSE-PARIS, TUESDAY, JUNE 29. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pri c..

We have received Madrid Papers of the 22d instant. On the 20th a secret meeting of opposition Members of the Cortes is said by the Hatlador to have been held, and certain measures were resolved to be adopted for hindering the moneyed world from lending a favourable ear to the propositions of the Minister of Finance, re lative to the new loan. The Chamber of Deputies had held this first sitting in the temporary locale of the Oriente Theatre. On account of the novelty of the circumstances the public galleries were crowded. M. OSCA laid befoxe the Chamber a proposal for a Morning Sitting, to be held from ten to two, for the more rapid despatch of common-place business. The discussion of the question of the Guardianship of the OUEEN was then commenced by M. IDEOZAdA,' who developed, at some length, his reasons for recommending that a previous understanding upon the mode:of proceeding should be come to with the Senate. M. LUZURIAGA was oppod to limiting the Guardians to any fixed and precise num her. This view of the case was opposed by M. GOMZA LEZ BRAVO, in the name of the Committee. The debate was adjourned. The Hablador quotes a correspondence from London, which says that the British Government has hastened to give full satisfaction to the Spanish Government in the affair of Carthagena, where a British smuggler was taken out of the harbour by two British cruisers in pursuance of the Consul's orders. It will be, remembered that Sir A. ASTON at Madrid had assured the Spanish Cabinet that the Consul should be recalled from his post for this insult to the Spanish authorities. The same journal, which receives semi-official intelligence, says that the permanent number of the forces to be kept up in Spain is to be fixed at 107,000 man, and not 70,000 only, as was asserted. Several assassinations had taken place at Malaga, and hitherto the guilty parties had escaped de tection. SIR DAVID WILICIE.—There have been dif. ferent statements about the age of Sir David Wilkie, in consequence of the discrepancy between his own state ments as to the year of his birth, and his age on the academy books when he entered a student._ The ques tion is best - settled by the register of his own parish church :—Extract.—" Dec. 4, 1786, the Rev.

UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL This Number contains two articles interesting to military men. The first is an introduction to historical details relative to the military force of Great Britain from the earliest periods to the present time. It commences with the state of the militia and army under William ►he Con queror. and extends to the year 1327, when Ed ward 111. ascended the throne. The other is on the present state of the French Infantry, from which we extract the following description alike creditable to the officers and men : The sobriety, harmony, and obedience, which one cannot fail to observe there, have no parallel in any corps out of France : the sobriety of the men is so re markable, that, notwithstanding I have been on the watch at ail hours of the day for whole weeks together, I have seen only one drunken soldier of the line ; nor is the harmony and good feeling among the men, and be tween the men and officers, less conspicuous—the former Lave a degree of suavity in their bearing towards one an other, which one traces to the superior degree of estima tion conferred by national custom upon what in England is termed good breeding, '134 which the French would call tact. Tbis taet rmwhere introduced with better success tho in the French army. In the intercourse of the officers with their subordinates, the latter are scarcely ever made to feel their inferiority off parade ; and, in deed, on the parade itself, the term " Comrade," or " Sir," is frequently made to soothe their pride under the infliction of a reprimand ; and whenever the Colonel ha hii s occasion to communicate in writing with on e of men, he always addresses him in the same manner. 4e The writer of the articl e a lso i ce s mina. details of the pay, accoutrements, g and retiri n g pensions of the soldiers.
