In the House of Peers last night, the Marquis of NORMANBY gave notice that after Easter he would move for a Committee to inquire into Sunday trading on canals. We hope that Minis ters do not intend still further to encourage that class of men, whom Mr. MACAULAY so well d • nounced in the House of Commons on Wednes day. The Noble Marquis laid on the table the Report of the Drainage and Building Regulation Bills. He proposed that they should go through a Committee to-day, and not be fur ther proceeded with till after the holidays. , Lord ASHBURTON recommended a clause to prevent burying the dead where there is scarcely room for the living. The Jews' Declaration Bill was brought up from the Commons, and read a first time. Who is to oppose it in the House of Peers we are not aware, except the Bishops have undertaken that office. Lord LYNDHURST, with, we presume, the Duke of WELLINGTON, is favourable to it, and we shall probably see, as in the St. Sulpice case, the most forward of the Bishops again thrown overboard by his Tory friends. Their Lordships examined Mr. ARMSTRONG touching the Clonmel Union case, and the Earl of GLENGALL gave notice that he would call their Lordships' attention to the subject after the Easter holidays. Their Lordships then adjourned at an early hour. In the Commons the Report of the St. Albans' Election Committee was laid on the table; it de clared Lord LISTOWELL duly elected. Mr. BLACK STONE, however, gave notice that he would move that the minutes of the proceedings of the Com mittee he printed. Mr. HumE postponed his motion, relative to the Caroline, till Tuesday. On the motion of Colonel SIBTIIORP some re turns relative to cruelties committed in the Poole Union. Workhouse, were ordered to be laid be fore the House. The Newfoundland Committee was nominated. Leave was obtained to bring in a Bill to en able her MAJES TY to purchase some land on the north bank of the Liffey, to be converted into a place for the recreation of the inhabitants of Dublin, and to exercise the troops. The Ordnance Survey Bill went through a Committee. The House was engaged for the greater part of the evening with the Poor-law Bin in Committee, and got as far as the 24th clause. The House adjourned at Half-past Twelve. The Morning Post, we see, agreeswithus—and it is not the first time of late that our Radical sentiments have been echoed by that most Con_ servative of all Conservative J ournals—that the Puseyite heresy is not to be blown out by the 3novement of one of the Archbishop of CANTER BURY'S lawn sleeves : The wonderful effects (it says) which have attendedthes publications ( the Tracts), and other writings of a similar cha racter, during the last few years, are not likely to ceasebecause new Tracts cease to come forth. They have inculcated devo tional habits i n t e lli g ibl e t o a ll, an d prac ti ca bl e by all. They have given men's minds not only something to work upon, but aomething to rest upon. They have given intellect plenty to eto, and yet have set up metes and bounds for it that it may dis .cern the accomplishment of its task and then be at rest. —We therefore believe, that though the " Tracts for the Times" should be discontinued, or continued but for a short time longer, they would still lire in their fruits in the production and re production of earnest theologians, and dutiful as earnest—of mien powerful in knowledge of th e S cr i ptures, from which all sound doctrine is to be proved, and strictly obedient to the Church which furnishes the doctrine which Scripture is to prove. Our Contemporary, then, is quite convinced that this " heresy," as the Church of England Review calls Puseyistn, that this " poisonous stream," as the Standard designates it, and this trouble, as all the anti-Puseyites in the Church call it, is not to be and cannot be put down by any censure. Messrs. NEWMAN, PUSE Y , S EWELL, HOOKE, hEBBLE and Co., have tasted too much of the sweets of popularity and power, they have become too notorious, to pass the rest of their days in slothful ease. Though the " Tracts" may be suspended at present by their own free will, and not in consequence of an injunction front authority, as the Post says, these enthusi astic priests will and must continue their teach ing and -preaching, and the PUSEY heresy will and must continue to spread amongst the priests of the Establishment. It is far too flattering a heresy, too soothing to their pride, and too convenient for their con scieuces, for them not to adopt it • and no ana themas of the U n i versity, or admonitions of the Archbishop of CANTERBU RY, will be able to surmount the attachment to it of their cor rupt and sinful nature. The Post tells us that the Church, that is, the priesthood, fur nishes the doctrine that Scripture is to prove. Ac cording to Puseyism, the eternal priesthood, not the Bible, is the source ofreligion; and the Bible is only, then, like a pair of scales, in the hands of the priest, the accuracy of which no layman must verify, or prove the doctrines which the priesthood furnishes. The priesthood makes the moral law for all men, and is a law to itself. Such teaching is much too agreeable to our fallen nature not to make continued and great progress amongst Oxford divines. The reader will readily remark, too, how lay men encourage this belief, and nourish the pride of the priesthood. The Post, a lay politi cal Journal intended for the people at large, not only ascribes to the priesthood the duty of fur nishing mankind with a creed, it assigns to the Pu eyites powers and faculties far surpassing those hitherto posSessed by all the reli gious teachers, and all the philosophers that have ever appeared id the world. These wonderful doctors, to whom the seraphic ST. THOMAS AQUINAS was a ninney, have given the "understanding something to rest upon." " THEY (not Nature or GOD) have set up metes and bounds for the intellect, that it may discern the accomplishment of its task and be at rest." They are to convert earth, therefore, into Heaven, and bring men into a state of beatitude, when the restless intellect is to be satisfied, and the sing ing of Hallelujahs to be the only work of the human race. Such are the immense powers ascribed by hymen to the priest hood. No ecclesiastical thunder will shake a heresy which brings laymen to the feet of the priesthood, and makes the Church, in fact and truth, the object of worship. It inculcates, moreover, a most convenient latitude of interpretation, which enables the holy men who embrace it to retain possession of all the endowments that are supposed by the people to be appropriated to a faith furnished by the Bible not by the priests. The Post vaunts the "dutifulness" and " obedience" of these theolo gians to the Church, which means, according to Mr. MA Ca ULAY, " holding her endowments while they teach the doctrines of Rome." They will on no acctwnt separate from her, but they teach confession and absolution, and maintain that the Church of Rome alone is in possession of that something on which the understanding can rest, which at once excites, satisfies, and regulates the intellect. A doctrine which enables the priest hood to hold fast by the wealth of the Church, and teach self-glorification, is much too conve nient to be easily put down. It would be easier to eradicate from the mind of the democracy the soothing doctrine of the sovereignty of the peo ple than to root out the• heresy of Puseyism from the congenial minds of the priesthood. One way there is of extinguishing it—namely, for laymen to cease from flattering and paying this race of usurping, arrogant pretenders; and when they can no longer gain power, or ensure themselves a rich reward, by their inventions, they will cease to poison the Church, and plague the public with their ingenious casuistry. We feel extremely grateful to Mr. MACAULAY for his brief but masterly exposure of the Puseyites. From the House of Commons his voice will spread over every part of the land, and the Oxford Doctors will be set down, on his high authority, as engaged in demonstrating • that the Church Articles, like Acts of Parliament, may easily have a coach and six driven through them; that the tests they frame and advise for others have no binding power over them. Such a character it is well known, from the debates in the House of Lords provoked by Lord RADNOR, the Oxford priesthood have long deserved. Their Jesuitism is not of this day, though this day has brought it prominently into notice. Mr. MA CAULAY has only described in his place in Par liament, in a few pithy sentences, the well-known character of the Anglican priesthood. How far that was prudent in Mr. MACAULAY, a Minister of the Crown, is more for his consi deration than ours. He is one of those who rely on the Anglican priesthood to teach the people morality. For that he insists on appropriating to their use a large part of the annual produce of the national industry. For that he upholds the law of Church-rates, .and insists, with Lord John RUSSELL, that it must be obeyed. The priesthood are, in his estimation, and in the es timation of our rulers, " the salt of the earth ;" and had he meant to maintain the doctrines for which he in general contends; had he meant to preserve for the priesthood their authority over the minds of the people, he should not have stig matised their leaders as ingenious perjurers ? The sanctity which " doth hedge in" a priest, was cruelly violated by Mr. MACAULAY, and we know not on whose authority the Legislature can henceforth rely to inculcate Church and State nostrums on the public mind. The class whom Mr. MACAULAY described as exercising their ingenuity how they might most conveniently practise perjury, have long been, let us remind the public, at the head of all our instruction. They have, in particular, formed the minds of the ruling classes. Nearly all the Peerage and the bulk of the great landowners have been bought up by them. We cannot be sur prised, therefore, that these people should be so like their instructors, and that in all public mat ters, however amiable and just they may be in private life,. they continually study how they may hold the faith of despotism with the endow ment of freedom, how they may claim our reve rence as protectors while they are only intent on enriching themselves. If Members of the two Houses ofParliament do not verbally take an oath to consult and act only for the public good, they come, in reality and practically, under such an obligation. Like their teachers, however, their pleat study is how they may dispense with this obligation and consult and act for their private advantage. With them the casuistry taught at Oxford has done its work. They are apt pupils at that sort of learning, and, with a perfectly clear conscience, to enrich themselves they starve the people. Grave philosophers have given it as their opi nion that there are certain questions, varying according to the different tendencies of the hu man mind, upon which all mankind, taken indi vidually, exhibit insanity. If this be true of every person, we can be at no loss to discover the int e ll ec t ua l s t um bli ng -bl oc k o f M r. DAVID u RQUHART. He takes leave of his wits as often as he n approaches even in imagination, th e doors of the Foreign-office. So b en t i s h e bringi ng 111 about the impe ac h men t o f L or d P ERSTON, that he spares himself no dis playthe Eastern gnce to effect it. His ca reer on France of extravagance a questionknew n is well known—e ven th e e: i v ipsa h ms o t w to appreciate it at it s people of l failures and re b u ff s proper value. j a u a ct d u y. The case of M r . e A n I tt. against L or d T for a pr e t ext have only increased his M'LEOD has served M r Upward s of a h undred for preferring a fresh in P AL MERSTON, occupying pages of an octavo pamphlet. Mr. unclunAitT contends that the difficulties of the question have arisen out of the trea sonable a p a thy of the Noble e Foreign Secretary, who, not content with the burning of the Caroline, should • have insisted at once upon reparation for the piracy of the Sy m _ pathisers. Of course Mr. URQUHART is satified that this apathy was the result of a secret un derstanding with Russia on,. the part of the Noble Lord. This he puts beyond a dotibt, by giving, in a postscript to his pamphlet, the copy of a letter, which he — 'atklressed in Au gust last to Lord MELBOURNE and the Duke of WELLINGTON, from which, for the satisfaction of our readers, we quote an extract : "By personal intercourse with her Majesty's principal ,e- • cretary for Foreign Affairs, in connection with public trans , actions during e ght years; by an examination of publfshed d;plomatic papers ; by the study of the speeches of that Mi nister in the House of Commons, anT'of the Acts of Great Britain under his direction, I have come to the conclusion that that Minister is, an d ha s been, acting to furthe r p ro j ec t s of Russia hostile to Great Britain, using for that end the power of Great B r i ta i n. J , therefore, believe him to be guilty of High Treason." Mr.I7RQUHART is the only person known to us in the United Kingdom holding such a be lief, we cannot help regarding him as one' of the most unqualified for sitting in judgment upon the case of Mr. I VPLEoD. We will therefore not take the trouble to examine and controvert in detail those figments of his brain which appear t o him so copclusive of the guilt of Lord PAL MERSTON, whom he accuses of uttering deliberate falsehoods in the House of Commons. There is the subtlety of hatred and the ingenuity of word • catching in his pamphlet, but it is utterly defi cient in soundness, in accuracy, and even in the semblance of impartiality. It is with pain we make these observations. Mr. URQUHART is a man from whom we once expected better things. But the beauty and fra grance of the blossom is not always to be taken as a certainty of the wholesomeness of the ripened fruit. Letters from Constantinople, of the 11th of March, have just reached us. On the 6th the SULTAN conferred the Order of Nishau Iftihar— a magnificent decoration in brilliants—together with a present in cash to the amount of ten thou sand pounds sterling, upon RESCHID PACHA, his Prime Minister, for his successful termination of the Eastern question. Immediately after this manifestation of the Imperial favour, TAHIR PACHA, the mortal enemy of the Premier, pro posed, in full Divan, that henceforth the Mem bers should reverently kiss the hem of RESCHID'S garment ! It was generally supposed that these extraordinary favours portended the fall of RESCHID PACHA, who is too great a favourite with the Franks, for his reforming spirit, to please the orthodox Mussulmans. The victims of Ori ental despotism, like the victims of the Pagan di vinities, are always ornamented before being led to the altar of sacrifice. On the 7th ult. a grand Council was held at the Porte relative to MEHEMET AL's refusal of the firman. The modifications claimed by the VICEROY were supported by the majority of the diplomatic body. One correspondent states that the answer of the Porte would be sent off di rectly by a steamer to Cairo ; but another as serts that the Porte would refer all points of dis pute to the arbitration of the Four Powers, whose decision it would accept as final. On the same day four vessels of war, with 800 troops, sailed to quell the rebellion in Samos, while six vessels, carrying 2,000 men, sailed for Candia, where disturbances still continued. A strong north wind prevented the entrance of the Turkish fleet into the Bosphorus. The Albanians were re called from Syria: Madrid journals, of the 24th ult., have reached us. The Cortes were engaged with the verifica tion of their powers and the Regency question. The Five per Cents. were done at 261 for cash. The Paris journals of Wednesday have reached us. The proposed amendment of the Peers' Committee upon the first article of the Fortifica tions Bill was lost upon a division, there being only 91 votes for, and 148 against it. There is, therefore, no longer a doubt that the Bill as passed by the Deputies will be adopted. The illoniteur of Wednesday contains the fol lowing official correction of the report of the Na tional, relative to the attack of the police upon the Reform banqueters : " The National gives an incorrect account of the measures taken by the authorities on the occasion of a projected banquet intended to be given on ili onday, by some Reformists and Com munists. We now give a true statement of the facts. Con trary to the injunctions of the authorities against these tumul tuous meetings in the form of banquets some Itacli,.al Re formists fixed on this for Monday, and distributed a great number of subscription-tickets, the place at which the dinner was to be given being kept as secret as possible, the stewards alone knowing where it was to take place. At about two o'clock on Monday the guests were assembled at dif ferent points, where shortly afterwards the stewards went and led them off, without telling them where they were going. About half-past two nearly 250 persons were collected at the Pere la Galette, the house of a tra.iteur at Montrouge, and they immediately elected a President. lie returned thanks •in a speech, containing expressions in favour of the works ing classes and reform, and uttering opinions of the strongest Radicalism. Two other similar speeches were de livered, and political toasts were drank. Upon this the Mayor and Commissary of Po'ice of Montrouge interfered, and ordered the party to disperse, as their meeting was un authorised. After several observations, they were allowed a quarter of an hour to settle their bills, and then they left the room. Instead. however, of separating peaceably, they marched in a body towards Vaugirard, singing the Marsel laise' and the Chant du Depart.' Atter violently insulting the Commissary of Police they attempted a riotous entry into Paris. Then it was that the municipal guard interposed, stopped their passage, and dispersed them, after arresting several of those who had violently insulted and maltreated the Commissary. Public tranquillity nevertheless was not all disturbed, but, on the contrary, the inhabitants loudly ap plauded the measures taken by the authorities to maintain order." Nothing can be clearer than that the whole mischief was the consequence of the uncalled for, impertinent, and insulting interference of the police. Had the Reformers been left to themselves they would have t oas t e d an d _ _ talked themselves into a vapouring patriotism, and walked quietly home to their beds. lut if 230 persons cannot now meet, and dine, and talk Radical r o:itics without having their heads broken and their persons imprisoned by the po lice, what will be the state of public liberty when Paris is Bastilled ? The Constitutionnel says that the creation of thirty new Peers is now more talked of than ever; it is said +hat there will be only fifteen deputies included in this new creation, the re mainder will be general officers both of the army and navy, and magistrates. A letter from Marseilles of the 27th March says —" The King's Attorney and examining Judges of our tribunal are very actively engaged in preparing the proceedings in the Criminal Court on account of the late attempt, the principal details of which we have given. More arrests are spoken of. We learn with pleasure that M. Borely, Attorney-General in the Royal tribunal of Aix, as soon as he heard of this affair, hastened to Marseilles. We find the following passage in a letter from Alexandria of the Bth March:— " The Government continue to sell cotton ; the quantity disposed of up to this time is 50,000 cwt. Large quantities of corn of the last harvest are brought to market. There is still a great deal in the warehouses, which will be increased by the new harvest, which promises to be as abundant as the preceding. " The Government is taking measures to render trade en tirely free." A journal says The expense of the fete to be given on the Ist of May in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre, on the oc casion of the baptism of the Count de Paris, is estimated at no less than a million. Above 1,000 musicians are (ngaged for the orchestras. The illuminations will be brilliant, and every precaution is taken against fire." It seems to us that the fear of fire should alone suffice to re pel the idea of giving a fete in this precious depot, where there are so many paintings, the destruction of which would be a subject of eternal and useless regret. They already suffer enough from the annual exhibitions, without exposing them to unnecessary danger.—Le Commerce. BOURSE.—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31. first Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

We are Saxon enough in blood and descent to believe that it would have been a great_ advantage to the vernacular had it, lik e th e German, formed all its words out of its own root, and not gone to foreign idioms and tongues for signs of ideas. To overset, is as expressive to an English boy as to " translate," though he may very early learn the practice for which the word stands. It seems, indeed, more expressive, for, unless the boy have mastered the Latin as well as his mother tongue, lie can have no acquaintance with the origin and meaning of the Latin corn poundhe uses, while the Saxon compound ex plains itself, and shows how language is formed. In England we are obliged to have one species of instruction which is unknown in Germany, which goes in our the name of " meanings."

SIR R. PEEL A DEMOCRAT.—The Times i quite - in error in ascribing to Sir Robert Pe e l a design to promote a general system of Govern ment Education, by recommending that the ad vantages of the excellent pauper schools, estab lished and to be established, should be extend e d to the children of rate-payers. Sir Robert has a very different design. He has marked the progress of democracy, and he wishes in good. time to do away with the distinctions which now prevail -between pauper children ald others. He is anxious to have them all placed on the same level, and taught equally to love each other. His is a scheme of fraternization, not of concentration of authority. He is sensible, by the existence of numerous foundations for the middle and upper classes, that eleemosynary instruction is not disparaging ; and he will relieve the, pauper class of children from any feeling of depen dence or degradation, by making them the schoolfellows and the playmates of the non paupers. Equality is the Right Hon. Baronet's aim, and he means, therefore, to secure the same advantage for the children of the industrious and the children of the idle. CHANCERY-COURT.-THIS DAY. SEELEY V. FISHER. The LOAD CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case ' which was argued before the C o u r t on Wednesday lass. His Lordship observed that the injunction, which the present motion sought to dissolve restrainel the endan's from pill:- fishing the edition of Scott's Bible, which they had cons menced publishing in numbers, with a certain wrapper, con taining a description of the Book, and also fro .r. publishing any advertisement or statement to the effect that the work contained or would contain the whole of the observations of Thomas Scott and the last corrections and im provements made by him which he bequeathed to the world. Now the first observation upon that was that there was no such advertisement, for, as his Lordship read it, it could have no such interpretation. It was assumed that the advertisement announced to the world that the edition published by the defendants contained all the last corrections and improvements made by Scott ; in his Lordship's opinion, the advertisement answered anything but that description. So far, therefore, as the advertisement formed part of the injunction, there was no thing to support it. The next subject for consideration was the wrapper. The question was not ore of piracy, becaire it was admitted by the plaintiffs that the defendants had nut rub fished anything of that in which the former claimed a copyright. The defendants had not published the fifth editi , n, and it was admitted that th e fourth edition was not covered by any copy right, and it was not disputed that the defendants had a right to reprint all that was in the fourth edition. It was equally clear that the plaintiffs had a copyright in the fifth edi tion, but of what that edition consisted was rot clearly stated in the affidavit, but there could be no doubt that Mr. Scott, the author of the former editions, did subsequent to the publication of the fourth edition employ him self in making alterations and additions to that edition, and therefore there did exist at the time of his death that which formed the subject of copyright, to which the plaintiff was en titled. Now the compiaint against the defendants was, that they had announced to the world that they were publishing something more than was contained in the fourth edition ; and the :question to be considered was, looking at the advertisement and the wrapper, whether such was the fact. If the defendants had announced that thelr work contained that which was in the fifth eiiition, then they would be publishing that to which the plaintiff was entitled ; and it would come within the terms of the injunction. But if it appeared from the advertisement and the wrapper that what they meant to convey to the public was that the fourth edition contained all that was the work of Mr. Scott, and that any further works professing to be his were not true, that might be the subject of complaint on the part of the plaintiffs, but it was not matter for an injunction. Now, looking at the terms of the advertisement and wrapper, his Lordship could not but think that that which was in tended by the defendants was to hold up to the world that nothing after the fourth edition was the work of Scott. On both these documents, therefore, it was clear to his Lordship's mind that it was not held out by the defendants that they intended to publish that in which the plaintiffs had a copyright, and until a Jury had told him that he was wrong in that conclusion, he felt bound to dissolve the injunction.—lnjunction dissolved. The Court then proceeded to hear lunatic petitions and appeals. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY. His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took unopposed pet tions and short causes to-day. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

TIIE STEA M-SIIIP POOL, THURSDAY, QUARTER PAST 10, A. m.—The Orpheus, New York sailing•packet, which left that port on the 11th inst., in company with the President, has arrived here this morning. Of the President no further intelligence has reached us, and, as..she is reported to have a large freight, and 27 passengers, many anxious fears are entertained f r her safety ; still the general feeling is that she is doing well in all other respect!, excepting speed. The Orpheus was in company with the President two days after they left New York. DUBLIN;APRIL I.—During the whole of Wed nesday there has been a perfect hurricane, blowing from W. S. W., scarcely exceeded in its violence by the memor able gale of Jinuary, 1839. The Liverpool mail boat, due a - t 7 this morning, had not reached Kingstown up to 3 o'clock. THE WEATHER IN THE NORTH.--The month of March, now near a close,' has been the finest experienced in the Highlands for at least twenty years, The atmosphere has had all tl:e warmth and clearness of May, with iha thermometer ranging from 50 deg. to 60 deg. The effect of this fine weather has been to facili. tate all kinds of agricultural operations. The oat sowing may be considered as finished, a considerable breadth of barley laid down, and in some places-a good deal of the fallow-break cross ploughed. Stock thrives %sell, and provender is plentiful. Indeed, the turnips are so abun dant, that they can scarcely be consumed, and we observe that generally about this town they are running to seed. Vegetation is at Wait five weeks in advance of the usual average of years. This may be seen from our gardens; but it is st 11 more visible in the country, where the hedge rows are already in leaf. The tadpole has been seen in ponds in Rossshire ten days since 1 On hill farms the. deer-hair (a valuable species of grass, of which shrep and cattle arc fond) is seldom eatable before the middle of May ; but it v,ill tlis season be ready next week. Siccl the above was written, we have received the follow_ ing from Caithness :—" Spring has been uncommonly fine, without a vestige of frost all this mouth, and vege tation as fcreiard as in May. Most of the oats are sown and things are generally in advance. Stock are in high order."—lnverness Courier. ROBBERY AT WINDSOR CASTLE.--WIND -505, APRIL I. —lt has just been ascertained that a large and valuable portion of the splendid marquee, well known as " Tippoo SaiY3 Tent" (which was captured at the storming of Seringapatam, and presented to the thr n So vereign of England by the Marquis of Cornwall s), had been taken away from the stores at the Castle, where it has been de,)osited for a number of years pass. It was formerly occasionally used by the late Sovereign! William IV. and George IV., upon the Royal excursions to Vir inia Watt r. Amongst various parts which are mi sing is the long pole which supported the roof. This was studded, and many .portions of it cased with massive silver orna- ments, and the two large knobs at each end are stated to have brea of solid silver. These, of course, are gone with the rest. Other poriens, containing various silver and other ornaments of greet value, arc also stated to be miss. ing. No traces have been discovered of the movements of the party who has absconded, beyond what have heen made public up to the period of his arriving at the Slough sta tion, from Windsor. No reward has yet been offered for his apprehension. SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.—On Wed neulay the twentieth anniversary of the foundation of th • Seaman's Hospital (the well-known Dreadnought, moored off Greenwich) was celebrated et the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, by a capitA dinner, to which about 150 gentlemen sat down.

MAGAZINES-CO TINGED. UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. The present state of our relations with Ame rica gives additional interest to two good articles in this number—" The Naval Recollections of the late American War," and " Hints on the Ma nagement of a War in America, by a British Officer of ability and experience, who resided in the Canadas 4 2')).• more than eight years." As the latter contains some useful information respect ing the course this country should adopt, in case the islaine people and the Lockport rioters should unfortunately bring affairs to extremities, we shall forego any remarks on the other arti cles, and subjoin from it a few useful extracts : As to the matter of our holding the Canadas, or, as I be lieve, they ought now to be called, Canada, I conceive our ope rations would he only defensive, as acqu'ring territory, above certain posts, would be out of the question ; and, to obtain this advantage, the plan of the late General Brock ought to be fel towed—which was, to go slap-dash at their principal posts, without giving them time to strengthen thems e l ves i n t h em. In the Lowe r Province, we have not so much to do in that way (I shall talk of them as distinct provinces, as formerly), as there they cannot cut off our supplies so readily. The first thing to be done, is to make a simultaneous attack upon Fort Niagara, Sackett's Harbour, and Detroit, as far up as Fort Gratiot, on the Detroit River, as these points command the great lakes on which the fate of the province depends. Sackett's Harbour, it will he remembered, was the great dockyard, where they built their large ships, in opposition to ours at Kingston. This ought to be seized at once, and the mouth of the harbour destroyed by filling some old vessels with stones, and sinking them there : the channel is-.very narrow, and can easily be obstructed. Oswego should Le treated in the same manner : they hare no other ports on Lake Ontario. Fort Niagara lies immediately opposite our forts, George and Mi'sissaqua. Fort George, I fancy, is gone to ruio s no loss, as it was in the v.orst position an unfortunate fort could be placed in, being commanded and enfiladed upon three sides of a The Rideau Canal makes a great alteration in this country since its formation, as now our stores can be got up without risking, as we did last war, their passage close to the enemy's lines ; how they ever allowed them to pass them has always been a mystery I could never solve. If are wish to bold the Canadas, we must have a great supe riority on the Lakes. The building of ships is expensive : a small steam craft can be established, if we can destroy the harbours along their shores, at the same time we must take care they do no.t destroy ours fir. t. The Niagara frontier is a place of great consequence, as they can el-oss in so many points. A strong redoubt on Navy Is;and and Fort Erie would give us the command above the Falls of Niagara. A strongpost at Queenston Hill, seven miles from Fort George, or Alississequa,_ secures us pretty well on this frontier, a s f rom Queenston Hill everything can be seen down to Lake Ontario. On Lake Erie the Americans have no good harbours, while we have several,—Fort Erie one, though rather open. Ships can, however, run d own th e r i ver t 3 shelter or find good an chorage under Point Abineau. The Detroit River is about a mile 'moss; and if the Ame ricans have sufficient force they may cross over at any time, and destroy and pillage our settlements on the frontier, which they would be prone to do, and retire to *heir own side, after doing some mischief, without attaining any good; and, to pre vent thi=, we must have possession of their strong places on the rivers and lakes, and the supremacy on all the waters. In the Upper Province I should conceive the people are generally loyal, though there may be many radicals among them of the deepest die; yet I think, generally speaking, they may be firm to the Queen's Government. They make good soldiers, especially in that country, where they know the woods as well as the Americans, and can be brought into excellent discipline, as witness the Incorporated Regiments of Militia, the Glengarry, the Nova Scotia, and other regiments. Put them on the footing of the regdlar army ; allow their officers half-pay and pensions for wounds, and the men with grants of land after the war, and never fear but a respectable force may be raised in a few months fit for any service. M 011? 7'HLY MAGAZINE. There is an essay here on the " Relative Value of the Acted and thiacted Drama," which—as the production of, Mr. Tomlins, who has distin guished himself by one or two clever pamphlets on this subject—is entitled to more attention than we can just now afford to bestow on it. Enough to say, therefore, that the essay in question is characterized by a strain of reasoning always inge nious, if not always convincing ; and that the style is neat and perspicuous, except when the writer attempts to be fine and metaphorical, when he makes strange work with his tropes, as in the following instances, when, speaking speaking of the restraint under which the drama labours, he says, "but the swelling flood b ur t s i ts unnatural, its unscientific barriers, and breaks into illegal performances, or into the published, but unactcd drama." A " flood" that can break into a "per formance" must indeed be a most miraculous flood ! " The Young Artist" is a well written tale from the pen of Mrs. Edward Thomas. The interest, however, would have been greater had it been a little abridged. The "English Wits" is a biographical and critical notice of Fielding the novelist, in which the writer, to our surprise, gives it a 3 his opinion that "Amelia" is superior to " Tom Jones." He states also that the latter work is "not remarkable for any very successful delineation of character," lbrgetting, apparently, the admirable portraits of Squire Western and his maiden sister, Partridge and Black George, Square and Thwackem, Master Blifil and the puppet showman. " Our Monthly Crypt" in cludes several intelligent notices of new publica tions. METROPOLITAN MAGAZINE. The best article in the present Number, both as respects matter and manner, is the " Note- Book of an Irish Barrister," in which there is a memoir of Lord Plunkett, accompanied by a criticism on his oratorical powers. The writer justly observes of his Lordship, that, " when his faculties were in their meridian, he was unquestionably one of the most vigorous reasoners of the age, and herein lay all his mastery. He was not a very profound or learned lawyer, not at all equal to Romilly, to whom he has been compared, and inferior to many of the eminent men now at the bar. In professional acquirements Mr. Pene father is far his superior. In mere book-know ledge many surpassed him ; but in his matchless argument, in keen, close, rigorous reasoning, be rose far beyond all others. He was the most for midable and skilful of sophists, and unequalled in that resistless and vehement energy with which he struggled to the last for victory, or, where that was unattainable, for a dignified retreat." We fear we must apply the dishearten ing words " Troja fuit " to Lord Plunkett's powers of oratory, for of late years he has made little or no figure in Parliament. " Recollections of a Student" are replete with stirring incidents, the scene of which is laid in Poland during the despotic reign of the Grand Duke Constantine. " Sing me the Songs of other Days" is a ballad, by Mr. Abdy, and reminds us of some of the late Haynes Bayley's touching melodies. " Zaleska's Song" is a spirited Polish air; we quote it accordingly : Poland is dead, The t)rant said, Exulting in triumph of power ; 0, no ! she but sleeps, While her genius. keeps A watch for her waking hour. Silent and fair She slumbers there, But feveri'h dreams disturb her. She needs but wake For her chains to break ; Not the nations of earth can curb her ! She wakes from her rest At the call she loves best, Her life's not in mortal control. Wound her and pain her, • Enthral her, enchain her, She lives in the heart of the Pole ! THE DUBLLV UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Captain Meadows Taylor, author of the " Con fessions of a Thug," and " Tippoo Sultaun," both works of approved merit, figures this month in the portrait gallery, which our friend Antony Poplar is adorning with etchings of distinguished Irishmen. Captain Meadows is still in the prime of life, and promises to enrich our literature with many more of the most correct sketches yet writ ten of social lite in India. "Poets and Poetesses" is a pleasant gossiping article of parlour window criticism, with extracts from the poetical perpe trations of -Moyle, Ellison, Sterling, Howitt, Lady Jervis, Magrath, Browne, Serjeant, and Lady Flora Hastings. The " Misfortunes of Barney Branagan" deepen in interest. No writer of-the day can sound the depth of the Irish heart with more truth and feeling than William Carleton. The-sick bed scene between the father and the son in the present number would convince us of this, had we not already diScovered it in his " Traits and Stories% of the Irish peasantry. " Charles O'Malley" has a ca pital ghost story—such a ghost story as is never heard out of Ireland. The narrator tells the story of his father, an undertaker, who, though the best singer and the hardest drinker in the barony, looked, when seated on a hearse, " as me lancholy and as miserable as if his own mother was inside." In removing the body of an old priest to his "last home" he was benighted, and obliged to seek shelter for himself and the corpse in an old church, in which, however, he found means to kindle a good fire, and to supply the " materials" for a jug of punch. We begin our extract with the second jug, at which point the worthy undertaker was wont to grow somewhat sentimental : " Now there was one th ;lig distressed him most cf all; my father used always to make fun of the ghosts and sperits the neighbours would tell of, pretending there was no such thing,! and now the thought came to him, • Maybe they'll revenge themselves on me to-night when they have me up here alone; and with that he made another jug stronger than the first, a n d tried to remember a few prayers in case of need; but some how his mind was not too clear, and he said afterwards he was always mixing up ould songs and toasts with the prayers, a n d when he thought he had just got holl of a beautiful psalm, it would turn out to be Tatter Jack Walsh,' sr 'Limping James,' or something like that. The storm, meanwhile, was rising every moment, and parts of the cld abbey were falling, as the wind shook the ruin ; and my father's sperits, notwith standing the punch, were lower than ever. "' I made it too wesk,' said he, as he net t o work on a new jorum ; and troth this time that was not the fault of it, for the first sup nearly choked him.
