NOVEMBER 2, 1842. sure, be a question of painful interest to himself 'arid his friends whether he will be able to carry on his Government on the same or similar prin ciples as last session. If he loses the support of the agriculturists, he must rely on other classes, or resign. Personal and political feelings, we believe, will make him reject a union with the Whigs, or the adoption of the nostrum of a fixed duty on corn. Indeed he cannot adopt their policy without acknowledging his inferiority to them, and without confessing that he has igno rantly or wilfully exposed the country to a long period of misery. We disbelieve the report, therefore, that he has made up his mind to re commend to Parliament a fixed duty on corn. On a former occasion, not to tread in the foot: steps of the Whigs, he boldly went beyond them. We therefore are inclined to hope that he will again surpass them, and carry out to the MI the principles which he professes and they have taught. If he again touch the Corn and Provi sion -laws, and we believe he must touch them, let us hope that it will be totally to abolish them. He is well aware that the Legislature must not con tinually tamper with the food of the people; that the laws which regulate its supply must be steady and invariable, and no other laws can be so but those eternal laws which grow from the necessi ties of mankind. Sir ROBERT PEEL has already weakened public confidence in the stability of legislation; and further alterations in the laws, e xcept to place trade in a state of freedom, will only generate con tinual confusion. The question can only be set at rest by setting trade free. Till that be accom plished, agitation, and all its train of evils, aris ing from uncertainty, will never cease. We are inclined, therefore, to believe and to hope that Sir R. PEEL, instead of tinkering the laws, or adopting the Whig nostrum, will become a per fect free-trader, and propose, whenever he again meddles with the Corn-laws, totally to abolish them. The time for that work must speedily be favourable. The price of wheat is already below 505., and it will soon be down as low in England as it could be With free trade; though not so low as it will be should another favourable har vest occur, unaccompanied with the revival of commerce. The trade of the country, is threat ened too on all sides, and the example of abo lishing our Corn-laws, which would give life to our own commerce, would speedily compel other nations to relax their injurious prohibitions. It becomes England to set such an example. We are more interested in free trade than other na tions. As the rule they only restrict some com paratively petty branches of manufacture, while England sets the terrible example of restricting the supply of food. Whether the manufacture of velvets or silks flourish or not is of compara tively little importance; but whether the people be amply fed or not involves all the difference, moral and physical, between a flourishing and a decaying community. Other Governments may prevent their subjects enjoying some luxuries, our Government prevents the people buying food. While England has a far greater interest than other nations in free trade, she commits against it an infinitely greater offence than any other country. Her Government stops the sup ply of that, to obtain which is the great object of all human exertions, and the basis of all pros. perity. We see by an advertisement in another part of The San, that the annual festival to com memorate the acquittal of HARDY, HORNE TOOKE, and THELWALL, and do honour to the Trial by Jury, takes place on Saturday next. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE is to be in the Chair, and it is expected that a numerous party will assemble. We have now too few festivities amongst us intended to keep alive the vene ration of our best rights. There are meetings enough, they crowd upon us every day, to unite landlords and tenants in the preservation of their monopoly ; but there are few or no meetings to promote political fteedom, and keep alive the memory of victories over political oppression. More than ever is it now requisite to unite the different classes in support of a commz'n enjoy ment and a common privilege. The great harrier against the encroachments of organised power is the Trial by Jury. We are not unaware that under some circumstances, when a communitY is rent into factions, and one party only has access to the jury box, that it may serve as an instrument of oppression ; but 'these are rare occurrences, and enlightened sneli as now' have to adjudicate over the lives and liberties of their fellows, will effectually guard against the influence of class prejudices. With all its imperfections, the Trial by Jury is one of the best methods yet discovered of insur ing every man a fair trial and a fair judgment by the public, which is, in fact, the only and the surest guarantee of individual rights. We trust, therefore, that the festivity of Saturday, to uphold this palladium of British liberty— and we believe, too, the palladium of liberty across the Atlantic--will be honoured by, a large assemblage of men of different ranks and condi tions. Dr. BOWRING mentioned, as a report, at the late Anti-Corn-law meeting at Manchester, that Sir It. PEEL would be deserted by at least forty of his followers in the House of Commons on the meeting of Parliament. That he is growing unpopular amongst his own friends is certain. He has been extremely unfortunate, and the g o od harvest, which is such a blessing to the nation, combined with the want of employment, has proved fatal to his system. In conjunction with scanty crops, his measures might have stood for a season or two; in conjunction with the reduction of prices, caused by an abundant crop, and the want of means to purchase, they appear to have inflicted a terrible injury on the landed interest.. _ We are well aware that this appearance is not reality. :Not his measures feebly approximating to justice, but the old cupidity and extortion of the agriculturists, are the sources of their suf fering. But they are accustomed to look to the law for every good, and they blame it for every evil they have been taught by Sir R. PEEL to rely on it, and now they accuse his measures — he being properly punished by the effects of the error he has nourished—of having caused those reductions of price which are the natural con sequences of an abundant harvest when there is no enterprise in-the mantiftcturing districts. As the Whigs may rejoice that they did not succeed with their project of a fixed duty, by which the whole of the evils now suffered by the agricul turists, would have been charged on them, so Sir ROBIERT PEE L'S success in lowering the sliding scale, and in passing the Tariff, seems likely to separate him from his party. We have seen several bitter lamentations at public meetings over the depreciation in the value of agricultval property, will quote is ascribed to Sir ROBERT PEEL ; a n d w: 1,1 quote some evidence of the manner he is spoken of from the Galway Standard, a journtal published in the west of Irektod -- - Jaurnal a i.s i t i s y i atei of f ery painful to As Constitutional the Govern oisr feelings to find fault with ment.

In the present chapter of Mrs. Gore's story, " Abednego, the Money-Lender," there is some stirring writing, as, for instance, where the usurer details the history of his pastlife, and ex plains the causes that induced him to take up the trade of money-lending. Disappointed in his most ardent hopes—his affections blighted—love a cheat—friendship a traitor—the soured man at length put this stern question to himself— " What constitutes right and wrong? Where is the positive, where the true ?" The answer, he says, was " Gold!" and adds, " once convinced of this, I bowed down my knee and worshipped. Lone-. and eagerly in search of some First Cause in which to put my trust, I cried aloud with joy when I had found it. My wandering ark had struck upon the top of an Ararat; and I sought no better land as a resting place for the sole of my foot." Mrs Gore has thrown much force and earnestness into Abedneg,o's confessions. " A London Dressmaker's Diary" is feelingly and simply written, but it is too long, and somewhat - monotonous. The " Vision of King Malcolm" is a quaint, and not unsuccessful specimen of the mock-romantic. We do not agree with the Re viewer of Mr. Dickens's " American Notes" that that gentleman, in speaking of the social state of the people of the United States, " has deepened every shade into palpable blackness, and de scribed society, in all its greater interests, as in a very low and dangerous condition." On the con trary, we think he has done impartial justice to the American character and institutions; and " deepened no shade"—except when he alludes to the transatlantic Press, whose faults and blunders, and vices, by all accounts, it is scarcely possible to exaggerate. The chief defect we find in Mr. Dickens's work, is that it is throughout a mere skimming of the surface. There is nothing profound—nothing original in it ; it shows fre quent acuteness, but principally on trivial mat ters; and is more to be commended for its broad humour, than for any other quality it possesses. " Lays of Loyalty" is a series of quizzical poems, suggested by the Queen's late visit to Scotland. We quote one entitled " Northward Bound," which is attributed to the youthful pen of a sucking Sappho, who rejoices in the name of Sophia Whackles. It is a very amusing imita tion (scarcely caricatured) of that sort of aristo cratic poesy which we so frequently meet with in the " Keepsake," or the " Book of Beauty :" Lo! our gracious Queen is going Unto Scotland's ancient strand, Young Favonius gently blowing, Wafts her from her native land. In the Royal Yacht so splendid, Built express for George the Fourth, By her princely spouse attended, Sails she for the rugged North. Spread the sails, and lift the anchor, 'Midst the cheering of the crowd ; For the stately yacht's a spanker, More especially when towed. Be ye soft as downy pillows, Waves that beat the stubborn Nore! Ocean, calm thy angry billows, For our Queen is not on shore. Neptune ! monarch of the water, Bid thy Triton troops attend, Till Britannia's peerless daughter Shall attain her journey's end. Hark ! sweet music, softly swelling, Sounds along the glassy deep— Comes it from the watery dwelling Where the nymphs their vigils keep ? No! 'tis sweeter, milder music— 'Tis the tabret and the drum. O Prince Albert ! say, are you sick ? Yarmouth's fishermen are come. Gently night doth fold her pinions, Gentler sounds the paddle's splash, As the Queen of these dominions Glides across the sullen Wash. Dappled clouds, the dawn's precursor, Streak the wide expanse of blue, On the deck the watchful purser Serves out rations to the crew. " Tell me now, my Lord Fitzclarence, What the coast before us spread !" " Where those boats are catching herrings, That, my liege, is Flambro' Head. " Past that rock, so like a puncheon, Spreads the Yorkshire coast no more, And we trust, soon after luncheon To be off the Berwick shore." And the captain spoke most wisely, As was quickly to be seen For at three o'clock precisely, Scotland saw her youthful Queen. Every eye with joy is beaming, Which alone the good.can feel, And the Scottish bagpipe screaming Soon provoke the lightsome reel. Toe and heel in wild commotion Cut the buckle, thread the ring ; Underneath the quivering ocean Fly the startled cod and ling. And her Majesty, astonished, Puts her finger in her ear, Till the grateful crowd, admonished Hail her with another cheer. Then, exchanging song and tankard, Glide they through the quiet sea, Till the Royal fleet is anchored, With Inchkeith upon the lee. Lo ! on every distant mountain, Kindling in volcanic life, Springs aloft a fiery fountain Both in Lothian and in Fife. Bonfires of immense eruction Fling abroad their gorgeous rays, Each resembling in construction Radiant V s and sparkling A s. Now in Granton, free from danger, Lies in peace the stately keel, And on the shore the Royal Stranger, Steps and greets Sir Robert Peel. " Which amongst these gay beholders, Is the Provost ?—tell me where !" But Sir Robert shrugged his shoulders, And no echo answered—" There !" • leave London before the mail, in which every place had been secured. Perplexed, and by this time some what alarmed, he readily seized the only chance left for him, and paying part of his fare, was booked forthwith in a feigned name. Being now more at ease, he had opportunity for contemplating the proba bilities of his incarceration in this rotatory lazaretto. The " Invalid " professedly travelled slowly for the benefit of its ailing inmates, taking them only part of the journey on the first day, and concluding it late enough on the second, so that it was a coach ' which really performed what it professed to do— namely, " slept on the road." Evidently waiting the arrival of the said " Bath Invalid," a hackney vehicle was drawn up to the office, containing an elderly gentleman, who, as it transpired, had taken one place for his body and another for his legs, which were swaddled in flannel, as he sat at that moment writhing under a severe paroxysm of gout. With a sigh did our young friend gaze upon a face in which was the mingled expression of pain arising from disease, and fury the re sult of pain. "My penance is likely to go hand in hand with my: offence," mentally ep.- culated he, as he contemplated two long days in all the horrors of this " middle passage !" The " Bath pair-horse Invalid" now drew up as so lemnly for the elderly gentleman as that still gloomier vehicle, which, in all probability, would be the next and last in his mortal service. The operation of transferring him from one body to the other was in progress, which, to the adagio of a volley of curses, was at length accomplished. Rewarding his atten dants with a look of renewed fury, he pulled up the glasses with all the violence he could master, and was heard no more—for the present. It was now within ten minutes of the professed time of starting, and as poor Elliston was speculating on the next character he might be introduced to in this drama of " The Bath Road," the coach-door was again opened to the ap proach, "with lingering steps and slow," of a tall female, labouring under a sharp attack of inflamed eyes, and conducted by a footboy, who was beguiling his tortoise pace by licking wliat still adhered to the paper wrapper of some baked treacle. The ceremony of conveying this, sufferer to the interior of the coach . was nearly as tedious, but a far more grateful. task, than the former ; and though our young runaway had still less and less reason to congratulate himself on his fortune of the morning, he could not help feeling some sympathy with the unsightly lady, as she timidly took her place to the serenade of the only language the rabid gentleman seemed to have retained the slightest recollection of. Faithful on the pavement to the very last, though he had heard twenty times the coach was then starting, Elliston, the third patient, entered the narrow ward of this migrating hospital. Placing himself next to the swaddled feet of the raving martyr, and opposite to two faces, one the largest he had ever gazed oa out of a masquerade shop, and the other the longest he had ever seen out of the convex of a silver spoon, he was conveyed by degrees from the rugged pavement of Piccadilly to travel one hundred and ten miles at the same rate of enjoyment. The " Persian Poet's Tomb" is from the pen of Miss Catherine Parr. The versification of the poem is sweet and unaffected. The " Cholera in Ireland" is sufficiently explained by the title; some of the descriptions are vigorous and impres sive. " Dix, the Younger," is a lively sketch of an elderly dandy, who is anxious to be consi dered—a weakness by no means confined to dandies—infinitely more juvenile than he is; who " intends in a year or two, to retain but a vague remembrance of the Reform Bill struggle; and to fix with a graceful loyalty his first firm recollection on the coronation of Queen Victoria." " Purchasing a Property" is a passable tale, showily , - how one Mr. Launcelot Barham was in veiglecrinto the purchase of—to quote the auc tioneer's words—" an elegant and substantially built stone residence on the banks of the Thames," which on inquiry he found was no other than the abandoned Toll-house at Staines bridge ! The "Duke of Wellington and Richard Cceur De Lion" is a ridiculous attempt to insti tute a parallel between these two warriors, who are as much opposed to each other as light to shade. Richard's chief peculiarity was the high and chivalrous tone of his sentiments; the Duke has not an atom of sentiment or chivalry in his composition. Richard was a rash, headstrong soldier—the Duke remarkable for his patience and caution. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Mr. Lever continues his military reminiscences under the title of " Jack Hinton, the Guards man," with unabated vigour, and in one of his present chapters gives a hasty, but graphic bird's eye sketch of the field of Vittoria, immediately subsequent to the battle, and when the French were in full retreat. The consternation and con fusion pervading the town, the abrupt rushing in of stragglers from the bloody field, the incessant clatter of baggage-waggons, the hollow rumbling of the artillery, and the galloping of the carts crowded with wounded soldiers ;—all these de tails are touched off with evident ease and ra pidity, and bear the strong; impress of truth. Izaac Walton forms the subject of an essay, en titled " An Hour's Talk," wherein the literary character of this smooth, shrewd cookney angler is greatly over-estimated. We have never been able to perceive the exquisite beauty of the " Complete Angler ;" it has two or three pleas ing pastoral passages of a milk-and-water nat ure; but it is wholly deficient in manly force, and thought, and sentiment. As for the calm, cheer ful air of repose that pervades it, and which has been so much insisted on, it has always appeared to us to be little better than sheer insipidity—the naturaland limited intellect. v drowsy productions are his biographies, and of these est and most animated is and ait o i , fruitsbest t o i f i e a cleverest ev er the life of Doctor Donne. " Recollections of a Poetic Childhood" exhibits here and there some bright gleams of fancy ; the versification, too, is polished, and not too much elaborated. The " Monk and the Devil" is a humorous poein of the Ingoldsby school. From the " Memoir and Remains of Charles Wolfe," we learn that this delightful poet, the author of that fine ode on the burial of Sir John Moore—which one Mackin tosh, a Scotch schoolmaster, had the impudence to claim as his own the other day—died in the year 1827,t, at the early age of twenty-two. Had he lived, he would most likely have won a foremost rank among the laurelled bards of the day, for his poems were full of promise. Here are two of his earliest, each of which, in its way, is exquisitely beautiful : SONG. Ant—" Gram achree." If I had thought thou could'st havo died, I might not weep for thee ; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou could'st mortal be ; It never through my mind had past, The time would e'er be o'er, And I on thee should look my last, And thou should'st smile no more!! And still upon that face I look, And think 'twill smile again ; And still the thought I will not brook, That I must look in vain ; But when I spea : k—thou dost not say, What thou ne er left'st unsaid, And now I feel, as well I may, Sweet Mary ! thou art dead ! If thou would'st stay, e'en as thou art, All cold and all serene, I stamight press.thy silent heart, And where thy smilesjiave been ! While e'en thy chill bleak corse I have, Thou seemest still my own, But there I lay thee in thy grave — And I. am now alone ! I do not think, where'er thou art, Thou bast forgotten me ; ' t 'And'l perhaps, m a y sooth this heart, In thinking to of thee ; Yet there' was round thee such a dawn Of light ne'er seen before, As fancy never could have drawn, And never can restore ! • SONG• Oh, my love has an eve of the softest blue, Yet - it was not that that won me; But a little bright drop from her soul was there. 'Tis that that has undone me. I might have pass'd that lovely cheek; " 911 { 1 Nor, perchance, in-heart have left me ; But the sensitive blush that came trembling there, Of my heart it for ever bereft me. I might have forgotten that red, red lip- 7 Yet how from that thought to sever ? But there was a smile from the sun-shine within, And that smile I'll remember for ever. Think not gtis n o thi ng b u t lifeless clay,T thei i s n ev egracefully h at enchants delicate mi n i d n The elegant f orm t h at h a unts me ; Let me not hear the n i g htingale sing , that at Moves Though I once in its notes delighted ; The feeling and mind that comes whispering forth, Has left me no music beside it. Who could blame had I loved that face, E'er my eye could twice explore her ; Yet, it is for the fairy intelligence there, And her warm—warm heart I adore her.

The Editor's story of the " Miser's Daughter" is concluded in this Number, and if it do not greatly advance, it will certainly not detract from, its author's reputation. We have read it with pleasure, and so, we doubt not, will the ma jority of novel readers, for it abounds in bustling incidents, and has variety, if not discrimination, of character to recommend it. " The Elliston Papers" bid fair to constitute an entertaining se ries of articles, at least if we may form a judg ment from the present specimen, which gives several amusing particulars respecting the come dian's early days, and canvasses ' his peculiarities as an actor in a just and discerning manner. Speaking of his exterior, Mr. Raymond, the Editor of the Papers in question, says—" In per son Elliston was of the middle size, and elegantly proportioned; and whatever success he may have acquired as a tragedian, we may at once declare was in defiance of his face, which was the very mirror of somedy. His countenance was round and open, his features small, yet buta s highly expressive ; laughter lay cradled in his iote a words I t i fao were t r t strong, f eye, and th ere was a muscu l ar p l ay o f lip s o pregnant of m ean i ng , frequently to explain.entlytoleav leave the His tones that followed he impassioned, harmonious, irresistibly an dvar i , p r a e i d a tremulous earnestness, on occasi ons w hi c h did i s dye . He displayed the art of tenderness and soft persuasion more strikingly than any actor. ,of his time." This last remark is perfectly j ust . Never did actor give greater effect to a t e nd er sentiment, or a burst of cordial emotion, than Elliston. His mode of addressing wome __,too, was admirable, not deficient in courtly elegance, yet still more remarkable for its appearance -of heart, and the respect and deference which it so flatteringly exhibited. We subjoin a diverting account of this admirable comedian's elopement from home, in order to make his bow before a Bath audience: — On a black, chilly morning, in the very early part ofspring,l79l,light in baggage as the Hon. Mr. Dow las himself, with but little in his pocket and still less in his stomach, Robert William Elliston slipped from the street-door of his father's house, punctually at half-past four by the paternal chronometer, and made the best of his way to the coach-office in Piccadilly. In the year 1791, the English stage-coach wore as different an aspect to the vehicle of 1841, as the gold laced hat and silver shoe-buckles differ from the cos tume on the identical pavement at the present hour. There was "the heavy Falmouth," the weighty York " Highflver " and the lengthy Bristol ; and a journey of a hundred miles was an undertaking of time, pri vation, and endurance. We trust our hero will not forfeit any Claim to such distinction while we con fess that a review of his resources, or perhaps the weather, not a little damped his spirit ; and fain would he have retraced his steps , on finding at his reaching the coach-office the long, body completely full, and every person so occupied on his own affairs as to afford him no information under his dilemma; but the alarum was by this time sounded in the watchmaker's warehouse, and his absence discovered, so Olathe had no • alternative but to proceed at all hazard. In the course' of his further inquiry, he tearnt - that - the - two-horse "-Bath Invalid -Coach „ would start from a neighbouring office within an hour, but that no other conveyance for that city would COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. An English version of Cimarosa's chef d'oeuvre, Ii Matrimonio Segreto, was produced at this theatre last evening, under the title of The Secret Marriage. When this opera, the plot of which is taken from the comedy of the Clandestine Marriage, was first pro duced at Vienna some sixty years since, the Emperor Joseph, who was present, was so pleased .that he ordered the immediate repetition of the opera the same evening, after he had given the actors a good supper to recruit their strength. The audience last evening seemed to be as delighted as the Emperor had been, and testified their delight in much the same sort of manner, with the exception of the supper, with this difference, however, that 'whereas the Empe ror commanded the repetition of the opera as a whole, they commanded its repetition piece -meal, by encor ing almost every piece of music in the composition. We were delighted to see the manner in which this truly classical composition was executed by English artists, and received by an English audience. Its suc cess, which was most brilliant, was entirely owing to the intrinsic merits of the composition itself, and the manner in which those merits were developed by the artists. There are no choruses, 'no dances, noproces- tions, no scenery. The action is carried on in a drawing-room, and six persons consti tute the whole of the dranuttis person a !; and • yet, in the absence of all those ad captandunt ad ditantenta, on which we have been wont heretofore to consider that the success of an opera mainly de pended, a Covent-garden audience, thanks to the im proved taste of the English musical public, received the Matrimonio Segreto with all the enthusiasm with which a Roman audience would have received this, the most exquisite work of their favourite composer. It is easy throughout this opera to recognise the hand of the maestro whose style' Rossini has chosen for his model, and he could not have made a better choice. The Matrimonio Segreto is the perfection of comic opera composition, and as long as opera buffa is appre ciated, so long will the Matrimonio Segreto retain its sta tion.. The following was the cast of the opera:—Carolina (the Fanny Stirlin of the original comedy), Miss Adelaide Kemble ; } idalma (Mrs. Heidelberg), Mrs. Alfred Shaw; Elisetta (Miss Stirling), Miss Rain forth ; Signor Geronimo (Old Stirling), Mr. Giubi lei ; Count Montoni (Sir John Melvil), Mr. Leffler ; Paolino (Lovel), Mr. W. Harrison. With such a cast it is needless to say that every justice was done to the opera, both in a musical and dramatic sense. The quarrelling terzetto in the first act between Carolina, Elisetta, and Fidalma, was sung and acted admirably, and elicited shouts of laughter and ap plause. This was encored as well as the rondo by Fidalma immediately at its conclusion. In the scene in which Montoni announces to Carolina that she is the objeCt --- of - his attachment, and not Elisetta, Miss Kemble introduced an air of Paesiella's, " When a lad for love is sueing," which she sang with excellent taste and effect, and which was of course loudly encored. Her shake at the conclusion of this air is one of the most aston- ishing performances of the sort we have ever heard. Her acting, too, was full of espieglerie : nothing could surpass the assumed simplicity of her manner to the Count while addressing him in the words of this song.- Mrs. Alfred Shaw, as Fidalma, was first-rate. She succeeded most effectually in making herself appear the antiquated maiden aunt. It is needless to say that the music of the part received every justice at her hands. Both Miss Kemble and Mrs. Alfred Shaw were. admirably supported by Miss Rainforth, as Eli setta. Of these three ladies it is hdrd to say to which to award the palm. Guibilei, as the deaf old Ge ronimo, was exquisitely comic—just what a primo buffo ought to be. The finale of the first act, and the opening duet of the second, were given with great gusto. The latter duet, between him and Leffler (the scene in which he proposes to transfer his af fections from one daughter to the other), was encored. He was admirably supported by Leffler, who com pletely entered into the spirit of his part, and seemed thoroughly to enjoy it. Harrison's Paolino, although a manifest improvement on his former attempts at Italian music, was yet somewhat deficient in refine ment, and at times wanting in power. At the fall of the curtain, the calls for the whole of the dramatis personae were vociferous, and they accordingly made their appearance, Harrison leading on Miss Kemble, Leffler Miss Rainforth and Guibilei Mrs. Alfred Shaw, The house was crowded to excess long before the rising of the curtain. At a quarter to seven o'clock there was no standing room in the pit. MISS HARRIET MARTINE AU. Yesterday evening a Meeting was held at the South London Hall of Science, Blackfriars-road, for the pur pose of testifying the public admiration of the conduct of Miss Martineau in refusing the pension offered her by the late Whig Administration. The large hall and galleries were crowded to excess, and amongst the au dience we observed a number of elegantly dressed females. Colonel THOMPSON took the Chair shortly after eight o'clock, and in an eloquent address, commented upon the services rendered by Miss Martineau to her humbler countrymen, and also upon her glorious struggle in the slavery abolition cause in America. He then proceeded to say that her line of conduct was a bold one for a woman—it was a startling doctrine to corrupt legislators and aristocratic pensioners to say that no person was entitled to receive donations from the public purse until those from whom the money was drawn had a fair share in the nomination of the donors. When the full light of freedom which was now dawning upon England shone forth in mid-day brightness they should never forget that Miss Marti neau was one of the principal agents in effecting the glorious consummation.—(Loud cheers.) Ile should conclude by introducing to the meeting a lady who would propose the first resolution. Mrs. CHAPPELGATE here came forward, and was received with loud and long-continued cheering. She said that, although upon some pints, such as the New Poor-laws, and others of minor importance, she differed from the respected and talented lady whom they were met that evening to honour, yet none held in higher estimation her efforts in the cause of rational liberty, or the taleut and high moral feeling by which she was so pre-eminently distinguished, than she did. After an eloquent discourse, Mrs. Chappelgate con cluded by moving the following resolution :—" That this meeting highly appreciates the conduct of Miss Martineau, in refusing the lately proffered pension, although there has been rarely an instance where the Royal bounty has been so well bestowed." Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was passed with much acclamation. Mr. DUNCAN proposed the next resolution, which was to the fellowing effect:—That it was the opinion of the meeting that the answer of Miss Martineau to the offer made by the late Government involved a deep principle, since, if the people were properly re presented, any act of the Executive would be that of fir.; public—and was seconded by Mrs. AIARTIN. This resolution was also adopted. A vote of thanks having been passed unanimously to the Gallant', Chairman, the meeting separated shortly afterwards. THE REDUCTION OF THE THREE-AND-A-HALF PER CENTS.—If the rumoured intention of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to reduce the interest of this stock be carried into effect in conjunction with the Income-tax, the Government will deprive the holders of that Stock of 17 per cent. of their income. If this be not confiscation what is ? The stockholders are the creditors of the State, and their powerful debtor, knowing they cannot help themselves, takes away one-sixth of their property. The stockholders in ge neral are great admirers of Goulburn and Peel, be cause they prate about public credit, but if the stock holders henceforth continue to admire them it will be for much the same reason as the spaniel loves his master, or the sheep the shearer. REDUCTION OF RENTS.—The rents must be re duced, but generally the landlords will hold out to the last moment. However, there are some proprietors al ready setting an example, as you will see by the fol lowing paragraphs from the provincial papers :—"Ma jor-General Dickson has most considerately set the example of an abatement of 25 per cent. in the rents of his tenants at Clounlahard, in this countv—a dis trict comprising 6,000 acres—and instructed his agent Daniel Dickson Power, Esq., to purchase bed cover ing, &c., for necessitous objects on his estate."—Lime rick Chronicle.

The following observations, which we borrow from the New York Herald, show how the new American tariff may be expected to operate there. They show also what a powerful auxi liary we should find in that commercial metro - polis of the western world, in repealing that tariff, would we only open our corn trade. They show further, that there are other causes of alienation besides the tariff between the north-eastern States, and the southern maritime States, which would help our interest, and help the interest of the Americans also, were our legislators only to be just to our own people : The city of New York has grown to be the metro polis of America. It is the largest city in the New World. The cause of its prosperity, and the meads by which it has attained its ascendency, have been its foreign trade. It has been the point of 'communica tion with Europe from which a large proportion of domestic goods have been sent abroad, and to which sixty per cent. of the imports of foreign goods have arrived. Its increase, in proportion to other parts of the Union, may be estimated by the fact, that the proportions of the whole imports ar rived here in 1823 was 35 per cent., and gradually in creased to 60 per cent. Under the descending gp.de of the Compromise Act its prosperity rapidly increased. In the same time Boston and New England have grown surprisingly in manufacturing strength. Their goods, for the most Fort, however, came to New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, for distribution through out the Union. According to the census returns — $114,000,000 of goods were manufactured in the New England States : of this, $75,000,000 may be esti mated to have been sold through the cities men tioned, and of that $40,000,000 came yearly to New York for distribution, mostly by way of the canal, west. The foreign goods imported into New York were $60,000,000, making an aggregate of $100,000,000 of trade, depending partly upon its geographical position in relation to the western trade, and partly upon tariff law, restricting the competition of the im ports with the domestic goods. This being the posi tion of the city of New York, what have the New England States done ? By building a railroad direct from the heart of the factories to the mouth of the Erie canal—the great avenue for the western trade— they have opened a short, speedy, and cheap route for that trade, which completely isolates New. Yolit in regard to it. The whole trade of New England, which formerly passed through this city to and from the west, now leaves New York and passes, under the direct influence of the vast capital of Boston, over the railroad, commanding all the markets west of Albany. The operations of the railroad may be judged by the following receipts for three days at Boston :-5,045 brls. flour, 147 bales wool, 266 kegs and tubs butter, 30 casks cheese, 17 brls. beer, 37 boxes Saratoga water. That this is not a rare occurrence, the following notice will testify :—" Consignees of flour by the Western Railroad are notified to remove the same immediately, as there is not room enough in the depot to unload the cars." The nett receipts of the road for three years in September were as follows :-1840, $16,581 ; 1841, $23,559 ; 1842, $60,442. Last year the road was not open west of Spring field. If we allow that the increase of that portion of the road was the same as that of the previous year, viz., 50 per cent., it will give $26,000 as the re ceipts from the freight from Albany for September. This is sufficient to show that the enterprise of the Bostonians has taken the wind out of the sails of New York in relation to the western trade. _ Not satisfied with this, however, ,her leading men, Abbott. Lawrence and others, have, with untiring perseverance, procured the passage of a tariff, which, in the present state of trade, strikes a fatal blow at the import trade of New York. After having, by legiti mate enterprise, deprived New York of the commis sion trade of Eastern manufactures, they have pro cured the interposition of the law to turn the foreign 'trade from our ships and wharfs to British bottoms and the St. Lawrence river. While these vast events, big with the ruin of New York and the aggrandize ment of New England, .have been going on, the people of, •New York have been lulled to sleep by the false representations of the press which they support. Like.the fabled vampire, which, ,by its wavinc , wings lulls its victim in a fatal sleep, while it,silentry sucks his heart's blood, a corrupt' partisan press have been Singing the pr'aiscs of a' high tariff, while the com merce and trade of the city have been drawn to other quarters. With cool decision the English merchants, • instead of checking their operation, only alter the destination of their wares from the udson to the St. Lawrence, and smile at the folly of our Government. That teaches a valuable lesson. The people of New York could tolerate the loss of the western trade by the railroad, which is legitimate traffic, but they cannot put up with the new tariff. The one only changes the course of trade in the Union; the other banishes it beyond the frontier. New York has flourished much, notwithstand ing our Corn-law, but the American tariff threatens it with ruin. Smuggling will become rife along the whole Canadian frontier ; the shipping of the United States; with all the towns on their sea-board, will be injured; and their own laws, and not our laws, will inflict on them in jury and ruin. So it is with us. Their tariff will inflict on us much less harm than our own regulations. In fact, were we to abolish our own unjust commercial restrictions, and the United States were to retain their ',tariff, the bulk of the trade between that country and England would be carried on through Canada by English shipping. W e should lose nothing by it. So it is with other nations. The high duties on linen yarn imported into France, do not injure our trade so much as our own Corn-laws, and our high duties on French wines and French brandy. It is in our power to-morrow to extend our trade with France by lowering or abolishing our own duties. Ifit be for the advantage of the French to receive our commodities—and that advantage would be great in proportion as we took their commodities—no laws, no armies, could keep them out of France. If the French Govern ment continued its prohibition, it would not stop the trade, it would only lose its revenue. It is, we believe, universally true, that the trade and prosperity of any one nation depend much more on its own regulations than on the regulations of other nations; and, therefore, we conclude that it is the great business of our Legislature to do justice to our own people, and encourage foreign Governments to do the same. The Dublin Pilot has an article on the subject of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy, from, which it is manifest that our Irish Contemporary is no ido latrous admirer of the Right Hon. Baronet or his measures. " Never did man,"• says he, "so heartily deserve the epithet of Deceiver-General as PEEL has done in the short period of his Pre miership. Contrasting his promises' with his performances—his pretences with his acts—the good for which alone he seemed to value power, and the wanton evil he has done in its exercise—one actually stands astonished at human endurance." This is a pretty good simple of sincere and cordial vituperation. Doubtless when Sir IL PEEL exempted Ireland from the operation of that most iniquitous of im posts, the Income-tax, he imagined that he was establishing a claim, if not on her gratitude, at least on her forbearance; but he now finds to his cost, that he was mistaken in this, as in most of his other expectations. Really he is much to be pitied, notwithstanding his acquisition of that high post which he has so long coveted. No one seems to be satisfied with him—no one gives him credit for any thing but an incorrigible habit of temporising. If he brings forward a liberal Tariff, forth steps the Edinburgh Review, and indignantly asserts that he has stolen the idea from the Whigs. He is allowed to call the Income-tax his own—which it is not, by-the-bye —but this only because it is generally abhorred, and consequently no one is willing to acknow ledge the paternity. By endeavouring to stand well with all classes, Sir ROBERT PEEL has met with the usual fate of temporisers., and earned the dislike and distrust of those whom he was most anxious to propitiate. From the friendly political relations between this country and Prussia, the similarity of their Alail established religions, and the reform movement . 10 .0 commenced by the Prussian SOVEREIGN, the .. . 4 proceedingg in that kingdom now excite more o-' , ...., than ordinary interest among 'Englishmen. Prussia,'from being a small insignificant State, has in a brief period risen to great power and authority with its neighbours, and already . I. exercises more influence over Germany than x ..,,i, Austria did when at the head of the Confedera- ~fiCO tion. It is gratifying, therefore, to find that this ~ 1.1 ,4 '! influence' is exerted, not fur the purposes o f war ' ' ' ' "0. or aggrandisement, but in advancing the arts of ::-,."fliii peace and improving the institutions of .the :os, country.
