Alornnig...... 17 minutts after 41 Evening —.416 minutes after 4. - , and indeed must, be desirous to divert public attention from what he hasalready done,it seems not unlikely that he will suffer himself to be in fluenced and persuaded to attack the monetary system of Scotland, in order to make the world forget his sliding-scale, his tariff, and his income tax. We know no statesman whose past deeds are so little calculated to inspire future confidence. He is strong, undoubtedly, from the support of a party, and weekly and daily journals say there is no one like PEEL. They said so ten months ago, and that he was distinguished from all other Ministers by being able to carry what he pro posed, or convert his own will into the law of the land. We do not deny that ; we do not say that a mob of gentlemen, of City merchants, and public writers, do not place implicit confidence in him; but we say that his 'past deeds do not warrant confidence, and that his will is a very worthless law. Their confidence and his will have doomed the people of this country to greater sufferings during the last twelve months than any people ever endured from the acts of a so-called paternal Legislature. Is it when the whole country begins to demand the repeal of the torturing income-tax, when the tariff and the sliding scale are denounced from one end of the land to the other as being an intended delusion, as having conferred no benefit on the manufacturing classes, and as having deeply injured the agri cultural classes, that the public ought to be told that no man can do anything for the State but Sir R. PEEL ? When we find his weekly and his daily friends puffing him off in this auctioneer style, we conclude that they begin to doubt his merits. They try to uphold him in public esti mation that they may have an excuse for their own continued fealty. A mere trimmer between difficulties, like Sir ROBERT PEEL, is not the man to place our currency on a just or safe foun dation, or to conquer a body which was too power ful thr LIVERPOOL and HusKlssoN. He may at tempt something of the kind to divert public attention from his other failures; he may carry through Parliament the measure he proposes; but ifit be the offspring of his own mind, it will be equal to none of the difficulties of the ques tion, and be as lamentable a monument of im becile and puerile conceptions as his adjustment of the sliding scale, and his unsettling of the tariff. We have long ago been aware, and have more than once stated, that the Conservatives, as they are falsely called, are as eager to change our laws and institutions as the Chartists, only they want to make the change in an opposite direc tion.- They want to put down all parochial and vestry discussions, that the parson of every parish aided by his churchwarden, may levy what church-rate he pleases, and regulate all the concerns of the parish, as if they were, like paro chial divisions, of a purely ecclesiastical nature. They wish to extend the power and augment the wealth of the Church, choke Dissent, muzzle the Press, and curb the people. They complain of the manufacturers, and they want to put their fetters on the steam-engine. They demand that manufacturing capital—which, being only another name lbr ingenious men, speedily finds the most profitable location—shall be heavily taxed. They say— Our manufacturing system, under the auspices of the steam-engine, is, or has been, essentially a new one. It had to be tried. It has been tried, and it turns out that, with wondrous powers of good, it con tains numerous ingredients of evil, amongst which, the scope it gives to avaricious speculators for oppressive tamperings with the meagre earnings of the working poor may be reckoned the first. We say that, now, when the bane and the cure have been brought to light—when, after the lapse of half a century, it has become clearly evident that the mischievous features of the system will not cure themselves —now, we say, the aristocracy of the land, with all the men of sense, religion, and philanthropy, should act boldly, energetically, and promptly. They should let it he plainly seen, that, while England means to take advantage of every step in the progress of science towards perfection, she will protect her people against the contingent inconveniences by which that progress is accompanied, as a skilful gunner, availing himself of the power of powder, takes especial care to keep out of the, reach of its explosions. They have found out, after a half century, that there are evils in the manufacturing system which will not cure themselves, and which can only be cured by the enlarged, comprehensive, and subl me wisdom of the Lords spiritual and temporal, and country gentlemen in Parliament assembled. But Conservative legislators have not being idle during the last fifty years. They have made as many regulations as they could well forge every session, for one branch or other of the community, and the result is manifest in its present condition. What reason have we to conclude that the restrictive legislation they now propose would be more beneficial than their past legislation ? The system and the evils of the last fifty years will not be the system and the evils of the next fifty years. To make their proposed restraints effectual to good, they must know beforehand the direction which the national in dustry will take. They had no fore-knowledge fifty years ago of its present condition, and they can now have no knowledge of what will be its condition fifty years hence. In no two periods of fifty years was the condition of any society, except, perhaps, the Nomadic tribes, ever identical; and, if the Conservatives, therefore, were now to make laws to prevent the evils of the manufacturing system, in the nextfifty years, it is perfectly certain that they would make laws for shadows. Their ambition, however, is gigantic, and, under the vague generalities we have quoted, they endeavour to procure restrictive lawslor manufactures and manufacturers,in order to pre vent fifty years hence the evils which they say the Conservatives of fifty years ago ought to have prevented. They want a political millenium like the Chartists; but in their millenium, agriculture, and what they call healthy commerce, are to flourish as they did when GEORGE 111. was king. Our present manufacturing system, founded " on the steam-engine and other discoveries," is to be controlled, and, if it be not very obedient, is to be extinguished. It is great political quackery to attempt to hasten the progress of society by legislation, but it is insignificant compared to the Conservative quackery of making society go backward till the supremacy of the clergy and the squires be restored and acknowledged. COST OF CONVEYING AMERICAN CORN THR OUGH CANADA writer in the Morning Po s t concLuntGed a long article yesterday to show that the expense of conveying American wheat and flour through Canada would be so great that our agriculturists n ee d not fear any import from that quarter. The writer was obviously ignorant 'of the proposition made by the Committee of the Canadian Legislature to grant a drawback on all flour exported from Canada when the price of flour exceeds 30s. a barrel at Montreal, which will compensate the difference of cost of con veyance. We can at the same time state, on the itauthority of the above-named Committee that the cost of conveying a barrel of flour to Liverpool, from 01. , i0 through the Erie Canal, is 3s. I id. less than by the way . of the St. Lawrence. The Committee calculated that this 3s. lid., in conjunction with the 3s. duty, will 'rake the advantages of Canada and the United States equal, when the price of corn here is 625., and at all prices below that, the advantage will be on the side of ; sending the produce of the United States ' through ' Canada. When the price is 625., the farmer needs littlo protection, on his own principle. When price falls below that he needs protection, and then Lord Stanley's plan will allow corn from the United States to be brought over from Canada free of duty. As much corn will be smuggled into Canada, to al low a drawback will be in truth a bounty on smuggling corn from the United States, free of duty, into Great Britain. The Marquis of Clanricarde met with a severe fall while hunting with Lord Howth's stag-hounds on Tuesday last, from the effects of which his Lordship has nearly recovered, and the grand steeple-chase be tween his horse, Dtrvernay, and Mr. Mcore's horse, was to come off to-day.

DECEMBER 6, 1842. We must warn our friends north of the Tweed that a serious de sign is entertained of urging Sir . ROBERT PEEL to. put an end to their small note circulation. Theiir untiring and successful enter prise rouses the t aivy of their southern competi tors, and envy will not allow trifles to stop its dogged course. 1n seeking for the causes of their success only legislative peculiarities arrest the attention of superficial minds. Superior edu cation is overlook:ed, and their success according ly is all attribut ed to their legal small bank-note circulation. Such tricks hays been played by the banking gentry i n England, that no hope can be entertained of r e viving the small bank-note cir culation here, aca 1 therefore all the energy of envy will be directed to put an end to the small note circulation of Scotland, and place the competing classes in both parts of the empire, as is said, on the same footing. The operatiom s have been commenced by flat tering Sir R. PEZEL. The currency, it is affirmed, is in a state of confusion disgraceful to a well regulated State. Such monstrous anomalies exist AS a paper circulation in one end of the island which is not allowed in the other, and which per petually causes a derangement in the whole currency, peculiarly injurious to the south, 'where the payments are made in the precious metals. Of coarse, this is fudge, for no payments beyond ten pounds are ever made in coin in Eng land, and the bulk of all manufacturing . business comprises much lihrger sums than ten pounds. Nevertheless, in the present distressed and dis contented condition of the manufacturers and i ,nerchants, they eagerly grasp at any straw which promises to keep them from drowning.

We had hoped that the Reviewers had taken leave of Goethe for some years to come, at least, the subject being one long since exhausted, and one, too, on which more loose, vague nonsense has been written than on any other pet topic of the day ; but we find we were mistaken in our sanguine expectations, for the Review before us contains a lengthy and elaborate essay on the " Character and Writings of Goethe," in which some ingenious but unsound theories are in troduced, and the great German poet regarded with an air of veneration, as if he occupied a position midway between man and the Deity. The Reviewer's chief object seems to be, to show that Goethe was the very incarnation of faultless wisdom; and that he had no sensibility or enthusiasm, chiefly because such weaknesses were unworthy of an exalted nature like his. This is a very inefficient apology for a poet's want of heart. The loftiest spirits have often the keenest sensibilities, and we find that even our Saviour did not disdain to drop a tear on the grave of the humble Lazarus. " Goethe," says the Reviewer, " had the sound body which is the foundation of the sound mind. His in tellect was eminently healthy—no cant, no sentimentality, no bigotry were allowed to rest there. Whatever faults it might have, it certainly was not diseased. As a first step in our inquiry, then, we gain this important fact, that Goethe was a man—a complete, healthy, vigorous, many-sided, and original man, and not a diseased, hectic poet—not a rickety, sedentary professor." Now we certainly cannot subscribe to this hypothesis, for we hold no man to be " complete" and " healthy" in his intellectual capacity, whose sensibilities are so miserably de ficient, as seems to have been the case with Goethe. The healthy nature is the well-ba lanced one, where the understanding and the feelings are in just proportion, where the former is assisted by, and receives its colouring from, the other, instead of being developed to its manifest detriment. Such a well-proportioned nature was possessed by Shakspeare, Cervantes, and Scott, but assuredly not by Goethe—at least, if the present estimate of him be correct. Subsequently, however, to wards the close of this essay, the Reviewer honestly confesses that he has not made up his mind "as to many of the contradictions which puzzle him" in Goethe, and adds, " we admit that there is something yet un explained, or else essentially disagreeable in his character; something which, with all our ad miration, yet repulses our love. He has been ac cused of coldness by so many, and such various people, that we cannot reject the charge without some weighty reason. There was nothing bound ing, spontaneous, or joyous about him. He com mitted no faults to demand our pity ; he did nothing heroic to wring from us applause. He sits above us, by reason of his commanding in tellect, and does not let us approach him through our common infirmities." This last passage, it will be observed, tends in some de gree to neutralise the spirit of the preceding one. "Poems, Chiefly ofEarly and Late Years," is a no tice of Mr.Wordswort li's last published volume. It is highly eulogistic; and, in reference to what he calls the " poetic period" of the great lake bard's life—that is to say, the period intervening be tween 1798 and 1803,—the Reviewer remarks, " his productions written about this time are often of a persuasive sweetness almost un equalled in English poetry, at any rate since Shakspeare, or shall we say Herrick. Poems, spontaneous as the songs of Burns, finished as those of Horace, worthy of Shakspeare in their grace, and tenderness, and philosophical insight, and in their peculiar tone of thought and lan guage entirely original, were poured forth at this time with a copiousness which bespoke a well-spring." This criticism is just enough, with the single exception of the word " spon taneous," which ought not to have been used in reference to Mr. Wordsworth's productions. The character of his genius •is anything but " spontaneous." Indeed we doubt whether he ever wrote a " spontaneous" poem in his life. His best and his worst works equally wear the appearance of having been the result of much pAtient, deliberate forethought; and we trace marks of careful study in the very homeliness and simplicity of the style of many of them. We are far frim meaning to say this in disparage ment of Mr. Wordsworth's genius, for we agree in opinion with Sheridan that—except in such rare instances to the contrary as have been fur nished us by Wilson, Scott, Southey, and Byron, who frequently wrote best what they wrote quickest—" your easy writing is d—d hard reading." " Lynch Law" is an attempt at a defence of this modern innovation on theatrans atlantic criminal code ; and we must say that the Reviewer is successful in demonstrating that it is in many instances not only justifiable, but indis pensably necessary, more particularly in the case of those infant colonies on the skirts of vast untrodden forests, which are not yet formally recognised by the United States, and brought within the pale of its law. Here, if the commu nity needs redress, it must obtain it for itself in the best way it can ; hence the origin of Lynch Law, whose great recommendation is, that it stands on no ceremony, abides by no slow, circuitous legal forms, but comes to the point at once. A man, say, has gone off with a fat sheep from his neighbour's fold, in one of those new born settlements whose first log-huts are not yet displaced by more orthodox architecture. In an old established colony, this scamp, previous to acquittal or condemnation, would be put through a regular systematic course of law; first, lie would be examined by a Magistrate; then a Grand Jury would report on his case ; then indictments would be framed against him; then two fox-like lawyers would discuss his guilt or otherwise, in a series of intolerably prolix speeches; then the Judge would deliver a formal charge ; and then—and not till then—a Jury would decide whether the prisoner was guilty or innocent. Now all this tedious and vexatious process is saved by Lynch law, which decides and punishes almost at one and the same moment. This is the true "go ahead" principle of justice, which saves a world of superfluous ceremony, and is admirably suited to the wants and wishes of American squatters and backwoodsmen. " Life of Admiral Keppell' is a passable notice of the memoirs of this staunch old Whig sailor, whose head once figured on half the tavern sign-boards in England. " State of the Nation" is an article penned in a temperate spirit, and wherein justice is done to the present Ministry, chiefly, however, as regards their in tentions, rather than their acts. The one or two remaining papers are of average merit. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—This morning his Royal Highness Prince Albert rode out on horseback, attended by Sir Edward Bowater.

" The Church," says the Bishop of LLANDAPF, in his last Charge to his clergy, " must, to use a phrase injuriously applied to her sacred formu-; larks, continue to work in chains." And in an. other part he asserts that the Church is subject to a grievance far beyond any which sectaries complain of as imposed upon them. Our readers, no doubt, will be a little puzzled to find out what sort of manacles those are which the (established (clergy are com pelled to wear, and what that grievance is ;which far counterbalances the griev ances of which Dissenters have such just reason to complain. Catholics are obliged to pay largely for the maintenance of an establishment which they regard as heretical. Their clergy and their poor, they say, have been robbed of tithes and Church lands, they have, therefore, not only to support their own Church, but also that which deprived them of their rights and the poor of their alms. The Dissenters are placed in somewhat the same predicament, and though these two classes of Christians pro bably amount to one-half of the population of England and Ireland, they have to contribute to the richest Church in the world, and one, too, from which they derive no benefit; but all these are mere trifles compared with the sad con dition of the:Bishops and Clergy, for they must bow to the highest ,authority—the law of the land—and bury with funeral rites even persons that have received only lay baptism. To hear the Vicar of Gedney or Bishop PHILPOTTS pour forth such lamentations, and describe in exaggerated terms the grievances of the Church, would sur prise no one, but we certainly read with asto nishment such statements from one of the ablest and most learned of the English prelates. Like the Non-Intrusionists, his Lordship wants more power—he wants the lands altered, and proposesa Commission or a general Convocation ofthe clergy to devise some remedy for this intolerable griev ance. The stormy proceedings of the General Assembly, and the disturbed state of the Scotch Church, seem, however, to make his Lordship rather averse to such assemblages, which he justly remarks, " lead to so much strife and ambition, as to defeat in a great manner the good purpose for which they were convened." A Commission, therefore, will be the means adopted, and it will probably be moved for next session. If any such project is se riously entertained we would recommend that a MixedkCommission:should be appointed with the Bisilop of LLANDAPF as chairman, and a goodly number of his brethren as councillors and advisers, and to these should be added, a sprink ling of Non-Intrusionists, with Dr. CHALMERS and Dr. CANDLISII at their head. The Scotch clergy, too, have many grievances to complain of ; and we can, therefore, see no reason why a deputation should not be sum moned to London, and coniult with the English clergy in Westminster Hall, as in days of old, for removing the chains by which they are bound, and declaring their power superior to that of the State. Looking at' the question, how ever, in a serious light, we may ask what hardship there is in being required to perform duties which are amply repaid, or in reading the beautiful service for the dead over the re mains of a brother or a sister, even though they have not complied in every respect with the rules and ceremonies of the Church ? The amiable twaddle of our fair Contemporary, conspi cuous e th ra a l n d, iinvasn some never r more amusingly remarks which she makes this morning, on the subject of a Chinese Man darin's rumo u red visit to London in the official capacity of an Ambassador. Grandmawa is absolutely in hysterics on the occasion. The importance of the event overwhelms her with awe, and she lets fly her pop-gun—which she mistakes for a thunderbolt—full in the face of the audacious Times, which has irreverently cracked the most innocuous and good-natured of jokes on the subject of Fum-no and his invisible footed spouse. 4 , Laughter at Chinese pig -tails," quoth the Herald, " may be as disastrous in its consequences, as the cheers which saluted FRE DERICK WILLIAM were beneficial." Our Con temporary is right; and the reflections which this grave observation induces, are such as must necessarily fill all rational minds with the utmost consternation. To laugh at a Chinese Ambassador's pig-tail ! Gracious Heavens, was there ever such blasphemy! But, alas! the heinous deed is done —the atrocious joke has already gone forth on the wings of the Press; and it is now a matter of historical record, not only that the Times—that most outrageous of journals, which has no more notion of good breeding than a kangaroo —has dared to laugh at the rear-ward embellishment of his Chinese Excellency's outer Adam, but has set upwards of two hundred thousand readers laughing also, fit to split! Thank God, we are not guilty of the like extravagance I We never quizzed a Chinese Ambassador's pig-tail ! No ;we never spoke of him, and his, but with a respect amount ing to adoration; and we now formally lay claim to the praise of the Herald for our benign forbear ance. Furthermore, w e conjure our readers, if not as a matter of feeling, at least, as a matter of policy, to exercise the same wholesome discretion, W e conjure them, as they value free trade with China, with Bohea at sixpence a pound, and Souchong at next to nothing, to indulge in no more horse-laughs at Chinese pig -tails; but, on the contrary, to regard them as symbols of august rank; and to make the hou tou whenever they may happen to cross their line of vision. If they must laugh at a tail, why not laugh at DAN O'CONNELL'S ? 'His is much thicker, twice as long, and—with due deference to the Alderman, be it observed—twice as grotesque! But should our readers not sympathise with us in the spirit of these observations, wrung from us in the patriotic paroxysm of the moment, at least let them join us in the fervent hope that, in deference to the risible muscles of John Bull, his Chinese Excellency will, on approaching the British shores, see fit, like Lord BATHURST, to cut off his Pig-tail, and so save himself from the chance of b e i ng qu i z zed, and England from the reproach of incivility. ,----- . We have no f urt h er a ccounts from Barcelona, if we except th e f o ll o wing extract from the Sentinelle des Pyrenees:—" Demi-official news has reached Bayonne of the submission of Bar celona without any conditions, with the exception of about 200 men, who h a d s hut themselves up in one of the f ortresses o f t h e town." According to other account s , the town on the 28 th was blockaded by sea an d l an d, and could not long hold out. Th e news f ro m Madrid is without interest. The Paris papers contain no further accounts from Barcelona. A. dense fog, it appears, pre vailed at Park during Saturday and Sunday morning, which prevented all communication by the telegraph, either with Spain or the south of France. In the - absence of news, therefore, the papers are generally occupied with the Barcelona affair, and the results it may have on ESPAR TEno's Government. Of course some of them take the opportunity of throwing blame on Eng land, for no misfortune can happen to France (and the failure of the insurrection the P resse evidently regards as such) without somehow or other being caused by this country. These wri ters, while they display their bad feeling, only give the French and the rest of the world a much higher idea of her vast power and attention to her trice interests. The Constitutionnel justly condemns the policy of LOUIS PHILIPPE in rele rence to the insurrection, and trusts that for the future no countenance will be given to those emi grants (Queen CHRISTINA ofcourse among the rest) who seem only capable of exciting partial dis turbances, and have no influence over either the army or the people of Spain. The Journal des Debats, on the part of the Government, denies all participation in the late events. " The Eng lish," says its correspondent at Madrid, " who are interested in depreciating the moderate party, and consequently the influence of France, have not been behindhand in their assertions that there were manoeuvres of this party at the bottom of the affairs at Barcelona, when all the world knows, on the contrary, that the Moderadoes 'had nothing whatever to do with the events. The truth has also come out as to the pre tended co-operation of the British navy in the affair. The Government never solicited any maritime succour from England, and Mr. ASTON'S dispatch to Gibraltar was only regarding the pro , tection of British subjects, and nothing else." The affair of Ma4gran still excites some in terest, and a very general belief begins to pre vail that the dispatch giving an account of a gal lant stand made at that place by a handful of French troops several months since, was a pure fic tion. "An English journal," says the National, " asserted, some days back, that the affair of Ma zagran was a lie, of which all France was the dupe. We hoped that the War Minister would contra dict this assertion, or give at least some explana. tion on the point. Marshal SOULT, however, re mains silent, and Ministerial journals follow his example. The same foreign journal now recurs to the subject, giving further details, and sum moning the Marshal to state what he intends to do with the sums subscribed by French and Eng lish or the erection of the monument. Govern ment can remain no longer silent. Its duty is to speak out the truth, how painful soever this may be to our amour propre. If we have been de ceived by impostors, we ought not to remain accom plices of the cheat. If, on the contrary, the English journal calumniates the soldiers of Mazagran, it ought to be refuted and condemned. At all events, a frank explanation is required." THE CHINESE AMBASSADOR. " His Celestial Majesty proposes, we are told, sending an Ambassador to London. Will the great man bring Mrs. Fo with him ? Will his Excellency walk in Pic cadilly with his pig-tail on ? That he will be the Lion of the season, the known hospitality and curiosity of our countrymen forbid us to doubt."—Times of Yesterday. Hurray for the pig-tails ! Hip, hip, and hurray ! A Chinese Ambassador's coming, they say, To visit John Bull, the Barbarian Eye, Give in to his whimsies, like Christopher Sly, And convince him 'tis scandalous longer to scoff At the land of the pig-tails ten thousand miles off. Strange stories are told of his Highness, of course, Some say he's a sort of a Centaur, or horse, Some say he's a giant, some say he's a dwarf, Some say he's just landed at Tooley-street wharf, And some, that he'll come by the next China fleet, With her Highness, who stands on invisible feet. Some say he's a Beauty, some say he's a Fright, And chews Turkish opium from morning 'till night, But I'll tell you the truth without any disguise, For, like Cobbett of old, I abominate lies, And always have deemed it the basest of acts, For the sake of effect to exaggerate facts. To begin, then ; this Chinaman's name is Quang-Fo And he's grandson to Timour the Tartar, you know ; 9 He's a tail like a,bell-rope, his nose is as flat As a pancake, his eyes are as black as your hat ; His mouth's not unlike the broad mouth of the Wye, He's a hundred years old, and he's twenty feet high His voice is as rough as a Cumberland boor's, And loud as the bang of a dozen street-doors, He frowns like a thunder-cloud, laughs like a ghost, When it stands by one's bed-side as stiff as a post ; In short, he's the man of all men that, you'd swear, Would drive the young Belles of Almack's to despair. lie wears a loose coat and a calico shirt, And a sharp-pointed hat that looks just like a squirt, He's yellow-ribbed stockings, half worsted, and half Cotton, with clocks reaching up to his calf, His red, creaking shoes are turned up at the toes, And supply him with music wherever he goes. His diet is simple—l say it with pride— He dines at mid-day upon puppy-dogs fried, Has them devilled for supper, and wizen he is ill, Just swallows a birds'-nest, by way of a pill,* Wash'd down with six cups of strong gunpowder tea, Which he plucks, as you pluck a ripe peach, from the tree. Hurray for his Highness ! Hip, hip, and hurray ! Like the Campbells, he's coming ; Make way, there, make way ! Bid the East and the West, from Cheapside to May-Fair, Turn out in their best, and be sure, my Lord Mayor, Be sure you get ready your daintiest prog, To honour this rival of Gog and Magog ! He comes I and all London's one desperate throng, Hustling, and jostling, and scuttling along, The Jew fro►n Whitechapel, the cit from Guildhall, The dandy from Bond-street, the clerk from Whitehall, All press to one centre, like seas to their shores, To see the new Lion, and hear how he roars I He comes 1 sound the trumpets and strike up the drums While the bells ring a triple bob-major ; he comes ! Sly schoolboys by dozens strive boldly, but fail, To climb up his back for a tug at his tail, And the women they blush, and the cabmen they shout' " Does your mother, my pretty one, know that you're out ?" My Lord gives a dinner in Grosvenor-Square, But a brace of he-dowagers only are there ; " Where, where are the rest ?" cries the Peer with surprise, " They've gone," his disconsolate valet replies, " They've gone, please your Lordship, they've given leg- bail, To have a good stare at John Chinaman's tail." Lady Jane and her party have all turned their backs On that focus of beauty and fashion, Almack's, And have sped in their very best ball-room array, To see the great Lion who's gone to the Play ; And Macready has faithfully promised, 'tis said, To secure them a box at the back of his head. Sir Robert gets up, but there's no one to hear ; Sir Robert sits down, but there's no one to cheer; The House is deserted, so, eager and hot, He bolts, calls a cab, and is off like a shot, His respects, like the rest of his colleagues, to pay To the " Elegant Extract" from distant Cathay Hurray for John Chinaman! shout, my boys, shout! Though I fear you scarce know what you're shouting about ; You think him omnipotent, now, and all wise, To fill all your coffers, extend your supplies, But I fear, that ere long, you will find that your hopes, Aro as silly as Satan Montgomery's tropes ! * Vide Davis's China.

" Who runs may read.' POIZEIWN. A dense fog prevailed at Paiis on Saturday and Sunday. The Court will return to the Tuileries for the winter about the 15th instant. The Moniteur contains Royal ordonnances, dated the 29th ult., making various changes in the nomina tion of prefects of the departments. A Royal ordonnance of the 29th legalises the open. ing of the French custom-houses at the stations of Tureving and Roubaix, on the railroad from Lille, on the Belgian frontiers; and of St. Soulve, on the Valenciennes railroad. According to accounts from Alexandria of the 22d the Pacha was still at Mansoura, where he was mak ing arrangements in order that the sowing season should not be retarded. The Consuls of France and Russia had both left Alexandria for Cairo. Egypt is still suffering from the murrain among the oxen. The loss is estimated at 150,000 head of cattle. Next year's crops are likely to be seriously affected by this loss. The cavalry and artillery are dismounted, and the horses sent to the shifflicks to assist inlagri culture. 'We have no particulars of the state of affairs in Syria. The belief is, that both Druse and Maronite will hold together to expel the Turks from the moun tains. Belgrade letters of the 21st announce the arrival on that day of Rifaat Pacha, the new Ambassador of the Ottoman Porte to the Court of Vienna at Semlin. Prince Michael learnt from the Envoy that his doom was definitively sealed, and that Prince Georgewitch would be maintained in his new position. PUBLIC OPINION. We quote the following from the Times:—" The ' confessions of those enlightened benefactors to their own pockets, who subscribe 1001. now, that they may hereafter realise 1,0001., at the expense, as it of course must inevitably be, of the rest of the commu nity, and who coolly denominate themselves the while an Anti-Monopolist League, continue to increase in intensity and delicacy. A gentleman who seconded a motion at the Great League Fund Meeting' at Liverpool, mentioned, with all humility, and without any desire to be considered egotistical, that he had gladly given his 1001. for the next year to accomplish the objects of the League. He had hopes that he was promoting his own individual good to no small extent by extending free trade principles. He was not ashamed to avow his belief, that his 1001. subscription would bring him back ahundred timeslool.,Y' the objects of the League should happen to be attended with success.' How beautiful. is the modesty with which this humble seconder shrinks from the ostentatious mention of his own charity ! He feels perfectly miserable at thus being obliged to trumpet his own praises, and to pro claim to the world that he has subscribed 1001. for so disinterested and magnanimous a purpose as that con templated and avowed by the League. But he shortly reflects that there is, after all, no such great necessity for being ashamed of his subscription ; his money is no gift, but only a speculation ; it will bring in no small profit to himself; so he takes courage." The Chronicle says :—" Well—we suppose Lord Ellenborough's friends will now at least not attempt to deny that he ordered the evacuation of Affghanisan, before he was aware of the release of the prisoners For ourselves, we did not require what we now have —his own assurance of the fact. We knew the man ; we knew what he had done before ; we knew that it was General Pollock's refusal to obey the order given in March to retreat, that led to the advance upon Caubul ; and, therefore, when we saw Lord Ellen- borough's proclamation of the Ist of October, in which not a word was said of the release of the prisoners, we saw in it only a repetition of the same cowardly command to leave the men, women, and children to their fate. Our statement was of course met by vio lent and indignant denial. The thing was impossible ; the very object of the campaign was to release the pri soners ; how absurd, then, to suppose that Lord Ellen borough would announce the campaign as closed, an d order home the troops until he was aware that that object was accomplished. However, we suppose Lord El lenborough will not be rejected as evidence on this point. The proclamation, ordering the troops to retire, is dated October 1. The first general order announcing the release of part of the prisoners is dated October seven—six days afterwards, and the second general order announcing the restoration of all the prisoners is dated sixteen days afterwards, that is, on the 17th, in each case the Governor-General communicating information which had just reached him. Is the proof complete ? Is it necessary to strengthen it by calling to mind that when Lord Ellenborough issued his proclamation it was impossible that he could have known that the prisoners were released? Now, we appeal to men of all parties, and ask is the Parliament of this country to be called upon to thank a man who twice deliberately proposed to withdraw the British army from Affghanistan while a number of British subjects were held there in captivity ?" We take the following remarks from the Herald:— " The Charge of the Bishop of Llandaff delivered on the occasion of the triennial visitation of his Lordship's ctocese in October last, and just published, is full of that firmness in matters of faith, and charity in non essential formalities, which so eminently distinguish the Church of England. Had the intolerance of Rome or the polemical furor of Dissent been characteristic either of the hierarchy or the priesthood of our holy Establishment, the unhappy controversy which has of late years divided its members would, as is the case in the Kirk of Scotland, certainly have disturbed the peace, if not endangered the very existence of the Church. It is because of the moderation, due appre ciation of their own position, and the profound sense of their awful responsibility with which the learned and pious Bishops who now sit in the high places of the Church are imbued, and because of the respectful obedience which the working clergy give, as by their oaths bound, to their ordinaries, that in spite of the most formidable division of opinion that has for two centuries past penetrated into the Establishment the Church herself is in no danger. There is in truth an earnest desire generally existing amongst both clergy and laity of the Establishment to extract all that can benefit the Church from the now we hope fading con troversy. DIONET-TRADE-7COMMERCE. The value of exports from Canton amounts io about 8,250,0001. per annum. Letters from the American cotton planters in Bengal state the complete failure in the experiments to grow that commodity in that locality. The hot winds and bad climate appear the preventives. I.AW AND POLICE. The driver of the cabriolet No. 1,113 was charged at Clerkenwell, with furious driving, and thereby damaging the carriage of R. Davies, Esq., to the amount of 241. The prisoner's license was suspended, and he was ordered to be imprisoned for three weeks with hard labour. NAVAL &ND MILITARY. It is said to be the intention of Lord Ellenborough, in the course of the present month, to review the whole of the troops who will by that time have re turned from Affghanistan, 35,000 in number. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The first book auction on record in England was the sale of Dr. Seaman's library, which was brought to the hammer A.D. 1676. COURT-FASRION.A.ELE. Sir Robert Peel will leave town in a day or two for Windsor Castle, on a visit to the Queen, accompa nied by Lady Peel. Lord Montague has arrived at his villa, near Windsor. The Dowager Duchess of Cleveland takes possession of her new residence, in Park-lane, early in January. The Duke of Richmond, after staying a few days in town, goes to Goodwood Park for the winter. The Earl of Liverpool, Lord Steward, leaves to-day for Windsor Castle, and will stay there on a visit to her Majesty until Saturday. The Earl and Countess of Beauchamp arrived in Portman-square last week, and proceed to Brighton in a few days. The Countess of liaddington arrived at the Admi ralty on Saturday. The Dowager Countess of Essex returns to town in a few days from a tour. The Earl and Countess of Verulam leave on Thurs day next for Gorhambury, near St. Alban's, where also the Viscount and Viscountess Folkstone are ex pected to pass their Christmas. The Earl of Lucan arrived in town on Saturday last from Castlebar, his Lordship's seat in the county Mayo. 'MISCELLANEOUS. From China this country has some of its most graceful exotics, and among them the Wistaria Sinen sis, and many of our finest Camellias and Azaleas. The tree-peonies of Canton are much esteemed, and the peaches of Pekin, accounted the most deligious of the species, weigh many of them upwards of 2lbs. At the meeting of the Gloucester Agricultural So ciety, held near Cirencester last week, Mr. Edward Bowley remarked, " A Noble Lord in a neighbouring country is reported to have said that farmers must exert themselves; that they must not stand idle by when their cart is in a hole, and call upon Jupiter for help. I quite agree with the Noble Lord that it would be useless to call upon Jupiter; but if times should continue bad there is another power which the farmer has some sort of right to call upon, and that is the landlord." The Duke of Newcastle, at a meeting held last week at Southwell of the Nottinghamshire Magis trates, proposed that instead of the present rural po lice, which at present cost 4,8161., 366 constables should be appointed instead, the total cost of which would be 3,1701. his Grace's recommendation failed. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS; CITY, QUARTER TO T HREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool was plentifully supplied, and no alteration occurred in the prices. The demand was moderate, only 4,000 bales findin g buyers. About 100 bales aranham realised 6d.; 100 Egyptian, 6i-d.; 200 Surat, Sid. to 4id. ; and 3 , 600 bales American 44d. to 51d. per lb. Great Western, Liverpool and Manchester, Birmingham and Grand Junction, and the other leading Railway Shares, were in request, but the minor lines were in but little demand. Eastern Counties brought 8i; Gret Western 88i ; Birmingham 188; Manchester and Liverpool, Half, 304; Paris and Rouen 24i ; and South Eastern, New, 174. The overland letter-bags will be made up this evening, giving barely time to send out the n raerca ill correspondence. It seems desir able that the period of dispatching the outward letters should be perman ently fixed rather later in the month than is the case at present, for the greater convenience and certainty of answering tlie Indian advices, but the Overland ar rangements must then necessarily be altered. The papers fom India, show an increase in the foreign commerce of Calcutta during the season of 18414, as compared with 1837-8, of some magnitude, though it is to be feared that various circumstances have com bined to render the trade far less profitable, This is particularly the case with the shipp in g interest, freights having ruled unusually low, and leaving no remuneration to the owners. Las t season no less than 885 ships of 277,816 tons were employed in the export trade of Calcutta, the valu e of the exports themselves being 8.39.40.592 rupees. as well From the English manufacturing districts, as from those of Scotland, we continue to receive very gratifying accounts respecting the improvement in trade occasioned by the peace with China, the news of which could not have come at a more opphortune time than just at the beginning of winter, wen trade is usually so dull.
