When we find Sir BOBERT PEEL falling under the objurgation of the ultra-Tories, it is, perhaps, our duty to take him under our protection. In proportion as he is attacked by the Post and the rabids of his own party, he rises in our estimation. We are almost compelled to believe he is doing good, though we dis trust him, and repudiate the means he employs, when we find him furiously assailed by ignorance and Bigotry. Perhaps some of our readers, who attend closely to politics, may recollect a Sir RICHARD VYVYAN in Parliament some eight or ten years ago. The Hon. Baronet sat then for Bristol, if we recollect right, and was distinguished for making a few long and furious speeches in She House of Commons against freedom in every shape, which no Journal ever honoured, except the Standard. This ultra-Tory Bafonet, who was thought at one time to make pre tensions to be Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has been returned to the present Parliament for the borough of Helston. He has, however, given up making speeches and taken to write pamphlets. A production of his, in the shape of a letter to the Elec tors of Helston, has lately been published, which makes some curious revelations as to the Tory party. From the position of the Hon. Baronet, he is a good witness to what is going on in its interior, and we shall quote some parts of his letter to explain that : The leader of the Oppo,itic,n, who had originated the vote of distrust before the dissolution, was commissioned by the Queen to form a new Government, and the con stituencies looked forward with confidence, to an imme diate cessation of Ministerial endeavours to unsettle ex isting regulations affecting agriculture and trade, while they hoped that some of the obnoxious changes effected by the Whigs, more especially as regarded the Poor-law Commission, might be reconsidered. They were fully justifieJ in entertaining these expectations. Appeals mid been made to them upon such questions against th; Whigs, and they had laboured with zeal to promote th; election of Members in whose assurances of oppositioi to the measures of the late Governmont they had full re fiance. Under such auspices Sir Robert Peel becalm ;her Majesty's Prime Minister. Although the mystery with which some of his more confidential supporters, and the new subordinate plaee holders, talked of the plans of their chiefs, was most alarming to the main body of those Members of Parlia ment who had concurred in ejecting their predecessors, there was so general a disinclination to suppose then capahke of adopting the policy of those who had pre ceded them that hints upon the subject were almost treated as insults. Until the Duke of Buckingham .quitted the Cabinet, shortly before the commencement of this session, it is evident, that even in that Counci there could have been ho fixed determination to bring forward free trade measures. Yet the retirement of hi: Grace was a fact which justified all previous doubts, ann. it pr red the nation for some propositions in which the agricultural interest was to be attacked. Thenceforward. from the opening of the session to the present hour, the country has been kept in a constant state of apprehension. The Hen. Baronet is somewhat endeared to us by ma king a vigorous attack oft the Income-tax, against which he voted, and wilith lie describes as an in tolerable burden carried through the House of Com mons in a most arbitrary manner. He is, however, .a determined enemy to free trade, and therefore he severely attacks Sir. ROBERT PEEL. Let the reader remember, however, that the writer of the following passage is a Tory, who must have experienced the effects of those methods of forcing Gentlemen to vote, of which he so feelingly complains The House of Commons, at the beginning of tle present session, consisted of only two sections—that which supporte d - Sir Robert Peel's Government, and that which adhered to the late Administration. Any Conservative inclined to act independently was ob.. noxious to the cabal by whom the mess of the part. were inflbeneed ; they were warned against him as naarplot ; his private declarations of a wish to think anti tact in accordance with his own opinions upon any point. were either scouted as those of a self-sufficient person, en tertaining what war, called " crotchety" notions—or a, those or a mutineer in the Conservative regiment, incul cating dii . obedience to his superior officers, because he had been diasppointen in the attainment of some object of his personal ambition ; he was derided as an ultra and alarmist, 0: stigelatisil as a ttissatistied place- Runlets; who grumbled because he hail not been placed in office. The surmise of a suspicion that the late change or Government would disappoint the Conservative con stituencies, who had acted with so much energy and con fidence during the general election, was sufficient to .isolate the Member who ventured to suggest it. Yet this plan of keeping the members of a party together, by stifling the expression of independent oinnion, and degrading the self-respect of each in dividual, or of endeavouring to convert a body of high-minded noblemen and gentlemen into a regi ment of partisans, never oan prevail ultimat e ly. A past majority of those who constitute the Conserva titre party in Paragons are too well initemed, and too. N conscious of their own dignified position before the country, to be led on from one error to another, under the guidance of a few intriguers, .many of whom aru subor,:inate persons, not Members of Parliament, and nut entitled to respect on account of their political posi• tion. Such a mode of exerting a sinister influence could not have prevented the resuscitation of an independent party, after the declaration of the Ministerial intentions, which were announced in the Queen's speech, if Sir Robert Peel had not accompanied his declaration by the threat, that unless his measures were carried he would resign—a threat distinctly made in his speeches on several occasions In ordinary times this method of attempting to force great changes in the existing law through Parliament would have had no effect upon the Conservative majority for, however I may have presumed to differ from that majority, I believe that there never was a House of Com mons more inclined to act independently, and in accord ance with the wishes of their constituents, when it first met, than that which was elected during the last summer. But the public feeling then manifested against die measures -of the late Ministers was immediately treated in the spirit of party, as if the nation enter tained a greater objection to their persons than to their policy ; and as Sir Robert Peel's threat of re signation implied the supposed necessity of their return to power, it had its full effect in compelling almost every individual in the Conservative party to vote for the new Corn-law, the Income-tax, and the Tariff, notwith standing his objection to such measures. The dread of seeing the Whigs restored to place banished all other con siderations ; not only did they submit to the Minister's dictatorial manner, but they scarcely ventured to offer a few words in debate against it. Unfortunately for the country, most of the leaders in opposition have not ab stained from holding indiscreet language about the so called principles of free trade, which Justifies the fears of the Conservatives, that should Sir Robert Peel's Go vernment resign, they will be succeeded by Ministers still more hostile to the interests which have been at tacked so unexpectedly by the present Administration. In this apparent choice of evils, they believe the safer course is to submit to an infliction, upon the full extent of which no man has yet endeavoured to enlarge in his place in Parliament. Poor Sir RICHARD does not like to be called a " marplot," a " crotchety man," or represented as disappointed, and, therefore, the peaches agamst his whole party, and declares that many of them have dishonestly voted against their own convictions merely from terror of the Whigs. They have, according to their view, sacrificed the public interest to keepout the hated Whigs. We shall quote another short passage, which Viscount MELBommui said on Friday night was very well expressed, and then leave our readers to form their own judgment of the Tory party and the Tory Chief from the testimony of one of his followers. The nation at large is never either Whig or Tory ; the people only look to the measures of a Government, and are indifferent about the prospect of this or that party losing or gaining . office. Last year the pi oductive classes believed their interests were in jeopardy when Parliament was dissolved, and they were wearied by :he constant attempts of ~he Whig Administration to disturb the existing laws. At the present moment they are equaly alarmed; but they are more disgusted with the conduct of public men, because the leaders of the Tory party, if not chargeable with deceptive promises before they be came Ministers, allowed the constituencies who returned the majority of the House of Commons, to deceive them selves. Mr. Palmer, one of the Members for Essex, has lately declared in Parliament, that had his constituents been certain that the present Administration would act as they have done, and had he declared his intention to support such measures previously to his election, he could not have obtained the votes of 50 Conservative electors in his county; and no Minister who heard this declaration ven tured to contradict it. The following notice appears in the votes of the Commons of Friday, for Saturday, June 18 : Mr. William Gladstone, in Committee of the whole House, to propose the following resolution :—" That it is expedient to permit foreign wheat to be delivered, under certain regulations, from the warehouse or from the ship, duty free, upon the substitution into the warehouse, or the delivery for exportation, of equivalent quantities of flour and biscuit." No mention of the subject, however, is made in the report of the debate on Saturday, and we pre sume, therefore, it was not then submitted to the House. Had that taken place, we might have found it less necessary to explain its scope and object. Mr. HUTT had taken up the subject, which has been a favourite with some Liberals for several years past, hut we infer, from Mr. GLADSTONE ' S notice, that the Go vernment has taken it out of Mr. Hurr's hands, and means to carry a measure successively proposed by Mr. P. ThomsoN, Mr. WARBURTON, and Mr. HUTT, to a conclusion. Its object is to confer some benefit on the grinding and shipping interest. In the debate on May 25, Mr. GLADSTONE stated that there are at present rules of the Custom House by which every article, except salt provisions, lying in warehouse, might be delivered (as ships' stores) with out the payment of any dues whatever. The Custom House rule is this: Warehoused goods may be delivered into the charge of the searchers, to be shipped as stores without entry or payment of any duty for any ship of the burden of 70 tons at least, bound upon a voyage to foreign parts, the probable duration of which out and home will not Le less than forty days." According to these regulations, whenever Mr. GLADSTONE'S proposition to allow biscuit to be sub stituted for foreign wheat in bond, on which no duty has been paid, shall be carried into effect, all our shipping engaged in foreign trade will be easily victualled with foreign-grown corn, made into biscuit here, as well as with foreign fatted and cured beef. As far as the plan goes it is good. The great objection we make to it is that it is partial. Why should the Custom House and the Board of Trade confine this great benefit of provisioning ships cheaply to ships engaged in the foreign trade ? What have the owners of coasting vessels done, that they are not to have the same advantage ? What'have the manufacturers done too ; and what have the bulk of the. working classes done, that they may not have cheap food as well as the shipowners engaged in foreign trade ? The Ministers profess a wish to give relief to the labouring classes, but except as such a regulation may give a little more employment to our millers, biscuit-bakers, and sailors, it will be exclusively an advantage to one class of shipowners. To the sailors it will be of no benefit, for the plain reason that the owner supplies them with provisions, and they only victual themselves when they are on shore. As a small abatement of the landlords' monopoly, leading perhaps by smuggling to a large abatement— as a means of giving employment to our millers, and facilitating our shipping in supplying such colonies as Newfoundland with ships' provisions, and as lower ing the cost of provisioning our own ships engaged in Foreign trade, the measure has our hearty approbation. We only blame it for narrowness, incompleteness, and partiality. At the 'sane time it reflects no credit on the Le gislature, that it is obliged to make such a multitude ~flaws and regulions as a substitute for the simple rule of allowing evk man to trade when and where he likes. Poor as the alteration is, Mr. GLAD STONE, unless supported by the Liberals, is not likely to carry it, for it is the counterpart of a measure which they have frequently proposed, and the land owners, headed by the present Paymaster of the Forces, have always resisted. We see by the Votes of the House of Commons, that Mr. Gladstone's reso lution was postponed till this day. The gentlemen who are in town from the North of England, for the purpose of laying before Government and the Legislature facts connected with the present alarming state of that part of the kingdom, have already had an interview with Sir Robert Peel, and with se veral influential Members of both Houses of Parlia ment, and of all parties. Sir Robert • seemed impressed by their communications. They have formed a Com mittee, to whom communications on the state of other districts of the country may be forwarded, addressed to Hamer Stansfeld, Esq., Ring's Arms Hotel, Palace - yard, London. _ MR. VIGNE'S TRAVELS IN KASHMERE, &C.—We are requested to state that Mr. Colburn, of Great Marlborough street, has this day published, " Travels in Kashmere, Ladak, Iskard, and the countries adjoining the mountain course of the Indus, and Himalaya, North of the Panjab," by G. T. Vigne, Esq. , F. GS., author of " A Personal Narrative of a Visit to Afghanistan, &c., 2 vols., Bio., with a valuable map, and 22 other illustrations, which can now be had of all booksellers. Mr. Colburn has alsu just published cheaper editions of the following popular works:-1.

SURREY THEATRE.---it will be seen from the ad vertisement in another column, that the opera of Sonnambula is to be brought out at this theatre to-night with a powerful com pany. Stansbury is conductor. Miss Romer will perform the part of Amina, and she will be assisted by Harrison, Leffl er , an d Mrs. Searle. The arrangements for performing operas at this theatre, we understand, are excellent, and we have no doubt will meet with public support. As the train of the Lyons and St. Etienne railro a d was returning up the bank of the Rhone from Lyons, on th e evening of the 6th inst., M. Guyot, the conducteur , passing through the tunnel called Darey , ? near Rive as it was de Gier, in cautiously put his head beyond the carriage, and b eing caught by his chin against the wall was drawn out, and, falling under the vrheals ) was instantaneously crushed to death. 1 GOLD COIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR—Your Correspondent " Numismaticus," in your Journal of the 13th inst., suggests the expediency of the gold coin being struck after the manner of the copper penny pieces of 1797, having a raised border with the letter indented, and not prominent. This suggestion originated with Pinkerton, and may be found in the second volume, page 148, second edition, London 1789, of his essay on medals and coins. The following is an extract :--- _ "The whole plan of coinage is yet susceptible of real and most important improvements. A far higher relief might be given to the impression, so as to rival the ancients in this grand criterion of good coin ; and this relief might with ease be protected by a circle of equal height around the rim of the piece. This circle would not only serve to preserve the coin, but might, in the whole coinage betir a legend upon the edge ; an opera tion so simple as to appear upon the tin halfpence and farthings, when they were in use. This circular legend, now used only upon the crown and half-crown, cught to adorn and protect every coin, from the five-guineapiece down to the farthing ; for there cannot be so easy and so effectual a guard against forgery, (it is preferable to indent and not to raise the letters on the edge, because in the latter plan they are soon defaced). The letters ought to be placed within the circle, and that on the edge might extend over the whole surface, so as nothing could be taken from the coin without appearance. The copper coinage of 1717, and gold coinage of 1728, are something in the general style of this proposal, but not of sufficient relief, and without the circular legends Such as they are, however, these coinages ought to be recommended, as of the very best form which has ever yet appeared in medern times." Pinkerton concludes his suggestion as to improvement of the coin in the following quaint manner :—" But any. effectual improvement of our coinage must be left till God help us ; together with the more important improve ments of the police of London, of our waste lands, and of Parliamentary representation." I am, Sir, your's, &c. Ilfracombe, June 17, 1842. R. W. D. T 1 E SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, i 842. LITERATURE. THE POPLAR MAGAZINE. Britain, London, 1842. This is a first number, and, like most first numbers, is got up with great care and attention to effect Should the future ones be edited with equal tact, we think we may venture to predict that the magazine will be a successful one, especially as it is of a light, cheerful character, and Is reasonably moderate in point of price. The first article in the present num ber is from the pen of the editor ; it is entitled " The Alchemist," and is, we perceive, to be continued. The scene, as far as the two first chapters are concerned, is laid in Dresden, towards the close of the year 1705, and the narrative opens in a very natural and spirited manner. "On Great Men" is a lively, whimsical essay, jesting with good humoured archness on the vanity of those individuals, who, because they are regarded as oracles in their own small circles, imagine, as a necessary consequence, that they possess all the inherent elements of great ness. " Stanzas written after a Pilgrimage to Wal tham Cross" evince. a ready power of versification, and no slight poetical feeling. Of the remaining articles the most interesting is " Glances at Old Books," which is a gossipping notice of Howel's Familiar Epistles, a work first published in the year 1615. FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT. The private view of this specimen of art was open on Saturday at Mr. Moon's Threadneedle-street. The portrait of his Royal Highness is a whole-length, the size of life, painted by John Lucas, Esq., and from which it is intended to produce an engraving, equal in size, and to suit as a companion, to Chalon s State portrait of the Queen. It represents his High ness, attired in a Field Marshal's uniform, standing on the entrance-steps of Windsor Castle, the round tower of which, together with another portion of the same edifice, forms the back-ground. To the right of the Prince is a spirited portrait of the horse presented to him by the King of Prussia, with his attendant of the 11th Hussars. The attitude of the Prince is erect, and the rich military suit in which he is attired is enhanced by the brilliant tone of the colouring, which is throughout in good taste and keeping. The expres sion of the eyes and countenance is as fully faithful as of any likeness that has been produced, and the veri similitude of the whole excellent. Mr. Moon we be lieve is to have the sole privilege of exhibiting it, pre vious to its being remitted to the Palace of Versailles. TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF SIR CHRISTOPHER WREN. The original plan of this " Tribute," now on view at Mr. Moon's, designed by Mr. Cockerel], the ar chitect, and the engraving reduced from it, consists of a plate, in which are grouped together, in one view, all the architectural works of that great builder, wherever distributed over the metropolis. The Cathedral of St. Paul's occupies the centre of the background, and the dimness of outline in which it is intentionally drawn, aids its magnificence, as put in comparison with the lower range of no less than sixty other public churches and structures, all the handywork of this inimitable architect. The spectator who beholds somany fabrics compressed into a plate of only 22i by 16 inches high, and observing the total dissimilarity of construction which characterizes the whole—yet that whole composed of so many various parts and designs—is struck with a sense of the im mense versatility of the architect's powers, who could originate and give definite form to so many struc tures of symmetry, massiness, and beauty. St. Paul's, which according to the well-known inscription in that cathedral, has stood as the one magnificent mo nument to the memory of Sir Christopher, appears by this plate to form but one out of many. An apter or more noble tribute Gould not have been designed. LONDON AS IT IS. Boys, London, 1842. Such is the title of a work which contains a selec tion of twenty-six views of some of the most remark able public buildings, places of fashionable resort, bridges, thoroughfares, &c. in the modern Babylon. The views are all lithograph, are tinted with sepia, and executed with great skill and spirit. To each of them is attached about half a page of explanatory letter-press, both in French and English, so as to give the work a chance of circulation in France as well as in England From the handsome style in which it is got up—to say nothing of its dimensions, an Imperial folio— it must have cost the proprietor an immense sum; but we venture to predict that it will repay the out lay, for the subject is one of general interest, and the views are all so accurate and life-like, even to the minutest points of locality, that those who are familiar with them will recognise them at a glance, and those who are not, will natu rally be curious to see sketches of places of which they are constantly reading, and whose celebrity is' diffused far and wide over Europe. The " Mansion House, Cheapside," is one of the liveliest and most animated of the views. Nothing can sur pass the appearance of bustle and confusion that the scene presents. Omnibuses, some rattling along at full speed, and others drawn up by the curb-stone waiting for passengers ; women hurrying boldly across the street, or waiting timidly for a fitter moment to cross ; the pavements on either side thronged with a motley crowd of old clothes-men, flying dustmen with their bulky calves—which George Cruickshank has turned to such whimsical account in his caricatures ; maid-servants, with children in their arms, wooden-leg ge d b eggars , an d ca d s w i t h their forefingers professionally uplifted to catch the glance of the passing pedestrian ; in the for egroun d, th e heavy lumbering Mansion -house, aptly typifying the heavy intellects of those who successively inhabit it ; and in the distance, a host of cabs, carts, carriages, drays, &c., all thundering along, as if they were rac ing with each other for a wager ;—such are the prin cipal items in a sketch, whose characteristic pecu liarities are ha off with singular dexterity. The " Tower and Mint" is a faithful and striking view of that gloomy fortress which figures so conspicuously in the blood-stained pages of our history. There is an air of stern repose about it that forci bly impresses the imagination. " London-bridge from Southwark-bridge" is a spirited river-scene ; and the numerous steam-boats, barges, and light craft, gliding in every dirction over the smooth sur face of the water, while a dense forest of masts blackens in the distance, will convey just the fitting idea of the enormous wealth and trade of the metropolis. " London from Greenwich" is a cheerful, pie ture3que scene, and embraces all the chief points of this unrivalled panorama, whose perspective is handled with uncommon skill. " Buckingham Pa lace from St. James's Park," with it 4 groups of pedestrians, some sauntering by the water's edge, and others resting on the benches—its still, clear lake i dotted with islets—and its rich show o f var i e d f o li age —presents as gay and attractive a picture as could be, desired, and would have delighted the courtly Wat teau, whose genius revelled in such scenes. There are se veral other excellent engravings, but we have mentioned the most prominent, and have only to add that the letter-press explanations are neatly and concisely penned by Mr. Charles 011ier. CALIGRAPHY.—A very exquisite' specimen of Cali graphy, or fine writing, being the Address of the City of London to the King of Prussia, on the occa sion of his standing sponsor to the Prince of Wales —was open to private view on Saturday, at No. 39, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square. Mr. Paton, who is well known as possessing a pen of perfect finish and beautiful elaboration for specimens in this species of art, has certainly produced in this instance for the City authorities as choice and elegant a piece of penmanship as the august occasion itself demands for a commemoration. We rarely, or rather never, have seen the command of pen more felicitously exhi bited than in the delicate curves and flections of the letters, and the graceful tenuity of the ornamental additions. To liken it to engraving or copperplate would be an ordinary , common-place, for we have always believed, and in the present instance belief strengthens into pro o f, that the hu man h an d can b e a far finer i ns t rumen t t owar ds the produ c ti on o f w h atever is fair or perfect in art, than any mechanical process. The address is surrounded by a splendidly illuminated border, formed of v ari ous heraldic devi ces, cons i st i ng e , the City surmounted a n i oun n ed by a rich gilt f rame. T o-day &c.,executed (Monday) her Maj es ty, Prince Albe r t, an d other distinguished persons have intimated thei r d es i re to by Mr. Dowse, and the sE e it at the palace, prior to its being sent to Prussia. CURIOUS ATMOSPHERIC PHENOMENON. --On Mon day last a singular and beautiful phenomenon, known to sea men by the name of looming, and of the same .nature as the mirage of the French, was observed at the old citadel, Inver ness. Fort George, ten miles distant on the Moray Firth, ap peared with fully thrice its usual elevation ; and parts of the coast at a greater distance, which are below our horizon, and consequently invisible, were distinctly seen. The workmen engaged in the hemp factory (which now fills the area of Cromwell's ruined fort) turned out to witness the strange spectacle, which was also seen by various other persons. Such appearances, it is well known, are caused by the irregular and unusual refractions which the rays of the light sometimes experience in a peculiar state of the atmosphere. They occur most frequently in the warmer latitudes, on level plains, or near the sea shore. Many singular instances of the same kind are on record; and, in' particular, it is related that in 1798 the coast of France was distinctly seen, raised above the sea, from the beach of Hastings. In the present case this p ecu li ar state of th e atmosphere must have been partly occasioned by the heat of the day, the temperature being the highest expe rienced here this season. —lnverness Courser. THE CApERcAiLmE.—The " Cock of the North," this noble, fine-plumaged rarer avis, with the capercailzie h ens , presented by the Marquis of Breadalbane to the Duke of Hamil ton, and placed for breeding in a large, curiously-constructed pavilion aviary, near Brodick Castle, have, by the unremitting and most assiduous care and attention of the head gamekeeper, been finely preserved. Last year eggs were placed under moor game for hatching, and as there was no shooting in Arran, and all the game strictly preserved, it is probable that some young capercailzies may be seen in the forests or in the mountains. This season proper care has been bestowed to get more eggs hatched, so that these is a reasonable prospedt of this grand and rare species of game gradually becoming abundant in Arran.— ilmarnock Journal.

The annual gathering of the members of this truly benevo lent Association took place on Thursday at the enclosure of Copenhagen-house, for the purpose of playing their national and ancient game of shinty, or shinny. There was a nume rous attendance of Highlanders, including several lairds, attired in full costume, also the children of the Scottish School, in their kilts, which rendered the scene exceedingly interesting. Mac • beth, the piper of the Duke of Sutherland, the patron of the Society, by permission of his Grace, was present, and played daring the day several national airs. He wore a magnificent dress, and displayed the beautiful powder-horn, richly mounted in silver, presented to him by her Majesty, for playing at the late bal costume, at Buekingham Palace. After a very well contested game, the company celebrated their anniversary festi val, by dining together in the large room of the above tavern. Thomas M'Kenz e, Esq., of Applecross, in the chair, supported by Sir Colin M'Kenzie, Forbes M'Neil, Esq., Mr. M'Gregor ( Secretary of the Board of Trade), and Mr. Dowling, editor of Bell's Life in London. Atter the usual, loyal, and patriotic toasts had been drank, with the customary honours, several ex cellent speeches were delivered, explanatory of the objects of the Institution, which are as follow :—The advancement and assistance of the inexperienced Highlander, who may come to London. The relief of aged, indigent, and distressed natives of the Highlands. To encourage and promote a taste for the history, language, ancient customs, and costume of the High lander, and to form 6 a centre around which all classes of High landers in the metropolis, may unite and co-operate in the great cause of charity, nationality, and social and mental improve ment. The establishment of this Society, although it had been of short duration, had to no inconsiderable extent carried out the principles on which it had been founded, by the relief it had afforded to numerous families, and the spirit of charity and emulation it bad diffused. After a very liberal subscription had been entered into, the company separated highly delighted by witnessing several Highland reels, which were danced by the members in full costume, and with the proceedings of the day, throughout which the utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed. • I Boz ON THE STAGE.—Private theatricals were among the amusements of the people of Montreal whilst Sir Chat lea Bagi,t was there. The perlormances took place at the Theatre Royal, with Mr. Charles Dickens as stage manager, who with his lzdy, sustained leading parts in the pieces selected. Soon after the doors were opened, says the Montreal Herald, the boxes and pit were filed with the beauty and fashion of the city, and the gay uniforms of the different regiments in the garrison, interspersed with the costly dresses and jewelled brows of the ladies byre, presented a beautiful scene. Among the audience were his Excellency Sir Charles Bagot and suite. The first play in the bill of fare was A Rolandfor an Oliver, the part of Air. Selborne by the Earl of Mutgrave ; Alfred Highfiyer by Mr. Charles Dickens. The Montreal Rerald says the performers elicited thunders of applause and roars of laughter from all parts of the house. The laughable interlude of Past Two o' Clock in the Morning followed, Mr. Snobbing ton by Mr. Charles Dickens. This was the performance of the evening, and uas most admirably acted. Mr. Dickens so disguised his person and voice, that some time had elapsed after the play began before he was recognized. The closing piece was the farce of Deaf as a Post, in which Mrs. Dickens played the part of Sophy Walton. There is at present residing at Seaville a young girl who can boast of having four mothers living, viz., her own mother, her grandmother, her great grandmother, and her great great grandmother. Even the eldest of these mammas is in good health, and they all reside in the parish of Home Cul ( arlisfePutria. THE WEATHER.-NOON, JUNE 20.

Extract from a letter received by a gentleman in England, from a respectable farmer, who, with all his family, consisting of ten persons, embarked with the first body of settlers in 1840 for the Western Australian Company's settlement of Australind Australind, 31st Dec., 1841. Dear Sir,—l am sure you will have been much pleased to hear of our safe arrival by the Parkfield. I have reason, and especial reason, to be thankful that I and my family of eight children, and many young, should be brought over the mighty deep 13,000 miles without even an accident. This, I assure you, Sir, is a beautiful country ; the land where the town site is to be, is sandy—but on the sides of the Brunswick, upon the plains and upon the hills, a few miles from us, is the best land I ever saw ; it is covered with excellent feed for cows or sheep, and there is a great extent of territory southward capable of supporting vast numbers of people. I have been in Roe's Range, and was quite astonished to see such land. Upon the whole, the Company's land is said to be the finest grant in Western Aus tralia. The Port (Leschenault) is very fair, the bottom mud and clay, and I believe that a ship of any burden may anchor there with perfect safety, providing the tackle is good. The climate is very pleasant ; we have had occasional showers ever since we have been here, and every thing in the gardens looks beautifully. We have plenty of water, and I can say with truth that there is no country in the world, as far as I have heard, where the emigrant may succeed better, with care and indus try, than in this part of Western Australia. To prove to you, Sir, that I think well of Aus tralind, I have just bought one rural section, and two town sections, in addition to my former pur chase. We are anxiously waiting for another shi;. Men of business, mechanics, such as carpenters, sawyers, &e., will get a deal of money here if steady. Women ser vants will also do well. May I request you to give my kind regard to Mr. and Mrs. and tell them how happy I shall be to hear from them. Believe me, yours, &c., LEWIS BIRCH. It appears by the Perth Inquirer, No. 52, of the 15th of December last, that provisions were tendered to the Commissariat Department at the following prices : wheat, Bid. per pushel ; flour, 261. per ton ; beef and mutton, Bd. per lb. It is added that the public may ex pect to be served with the two latter articles at a cor responding rate. The great increase of the number of sheep in the co lony will ensure a supply at much more moderate prices than have of late years been demanded ; in fact it is expected that in another year the price of fresh meat will not exceed 6d. per lb., and in this case the large sum annually paid for imported salt provisions would be saved to the colony. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. FRANKFORT, JUNE B.—His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Hanover, coming from Dessau, has arrived at Potsdam, and resides in the apartments prepared for him in the new palace. BERLIN, JUNE 11.—It is now fixed that his Majesty will set out on the 20th or 21st of this month for St. Petersburgh. During the King's absence the Queen will be at Dresden, where her sister, Princess John, is said to be still in very indifferent health. If the Princess should, by the advice of her physicians, go to the baths of Gaslein, his. Majesty may perhaps accompany her.— Haniburgh Papers, June 14. BRUSSELS, JUNE 16.—1 n the night of the 11th of this month the village of Nasserbilling, situated a league from Grevenmacher, in the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, was destroyed by fire. Only five houses escaped. The King and Queen have received a deputation from Liege, which is come to Brussels to solicit their Majesties to be present at the opening of the iron railway. Their Majesties promised the deputation that they would honour the fetes with their presence on their return from England. BRUSSELS, JUNE 17.—The Court of Nassau has sent , a present of 12,000 dollars to Dr. Dieffenbach, who at tended him in his late illness. The King of the Nether lands has added to this present the insigne of the order of the Netherland's Lion. FROM THE POLISH FRONTIER, JUNE 2.—lt is now no secret that Prince Cernitscheff himself takes the com mand in chief of the army in the Caucasus, to make an effort to overawe with a great superiority of force, the insurgents of Circassia and Abchasia. The contest, as it has hitherto been carried on, was evidently too much protracted, and cost the Russians too much blood with out indemnifying them by a corresponding advantage. They have, indeed, always been victorious in the summer in this sanguinary warfare, but regularly lost every winter, by surprise, several of the forts erected in the extreme line of operations; and, at the opening of every new cam paign they have had to employ much time and labour to recover what they already possessed the year before. The Russians have undoubtedly confined the moun taineers within narrow limits, yet competent judges are of opinion that if the same system of operations were con tinued the war might last many years more. Two circum stances are supposed to have led to the resolution to en deavour to end the war at once, by the employment of great masses of troops—the state of affairs in South Asia and the death of Guz-Bey, the most dangerous of the Circassian chiefs. Russia certainly cannot be an indifferent spectator of the events that are preparing in Central Asia, and yet all its enterprises in that quarter are paralysed, as long as it has an enemy always in readiness for action in the Caucasus. Guz-Bey, who indeed was the most enterprising of all the princes of the mountains, and the two present 'chiefs, Mansor and Tscharung, are said to be at variance, so that there seems to be a favourable opportunity to subdue, to which the religious animosity of the Christian and Mahomedan tribes may contribute. Travellers from South Russia say that there is a great movement of troops, and all arc confident of success, esp ec i a ll y be cause Czernitchoff, the Russian Blucher, is at the head, and Grabbe, who is thoroughly acquainted with the grand community under him. Nevertheless, the issue is pro blematical, for in such contests all calculations may be defeated by the slightest unfurseen accident, as hap pened in Perowski's ominous expedition. Meantime, to prevent the mountaineers from receiving any supplies of arms and ammunition, Russian ships strictly blockade the whole coast, from Sinops (the seat of the English agents) to Anapa, Ickaterinodar, Kaw, Karskaja, and Stawropol, on the right bank of the Kubaw. The Leghrans, on the right bank of the Terek, are no longer- dreaded, but the Abcharians are said to have collected in the neighbourhood of Sochunkule. Per haps the Russians may succeed by skilfully taking ad vantage of the ground, i n isolating some of the tribes, and then they will have the game in their hands. DUTCH FUNDS.—Amemoast, June 17.

The Government, we have reason to believe, has de cided upon the removal of Lord DE GREY from the Lord Lieutenantship of Ireland, and the will of the Cabinet to this effect has already been communicated to his Lordship. To cover the recal of the Noble Earl from an office to fill which no British-born Peer could be more incompe tent, it has been suggested that he shall plead severe ill ness, and implore her MAJESTY to relieve him from the cares of a state trying even to the soundest constitutions. This boon will be granted with the best grace in the world ; his Lordship's illness will be royally deplored ; and exceeding regret will be expressed that the Govern ment should be deprived of the invaluable services of so prudent and sagacious an Irish Chief Magistrate. The farce, however, will deceive no person. Lord DE GREY is to be removed from the government of Ireland, because he leagued himself with the Orange faction, and re solved to govern Ireland upon Orange principles. The Lord Chancellor, Sir EDWARD SUDDEN, and the Irish Secretary, Lord ELIOT, had the good sense to oppose this retrograde policy. They saw very well that the Orange system of Government could never again be revived in Ireland, without perilling the horrors of a civil war, and their acts, since their accession to office, have consisted chiefly of a series of protests against the measures proposed by the Lord „Lieute nant. Sir R. PEEL, who has business enough on his hands without a rebellion in Ireland, has agreed to the recal of the Noble Earl, whose retirement may now be daily expected. In fact, the Ministry have decided that Ultra-Tory principles must be abandoned by the Irish Government. It is no longer doubtful that five-sixths of the Irish people are decidedly Liberal, and that their opinions can no longer be influenced by the politics of Dublin Castle. They are therefore to have an adminis tration more in harmony with their wants and wishes, in order to weaken as much as possible the influence of Mr. O'CONNELL and the Repeal agitation. Ireland will not be governed upon avowedly Whig principles, but in reality no other principles will meet with the approbation of Sir R. PEEL. Of one thing we are certain, and that is, that after the removal of Lord DE GREY, Ireland will enjoy a more liberal Government than she did under the Whig administration of Earl GREY, when she had an ANGLEsEA. for Lord Lieutenant. We have heard it confidently •stated, that Lord DE GREY will be succeeded in the Government of Ireland by the Duke of BuccEEEcii. Without looking beyond the ranks of his party, we do not think Sir ROBERT could chooso a better man. The Duke, as a Scotchman, would have to encounter some prejudices in the capacity of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, but these would disappear the instant PADDY found that the Duke was rich, libe ral, and resolved to see justice done to Catholic and Protestant equally. It is to prevent any misconception of the character of the Duke of BUCCLEUCII on the part of the Irish Press, that we take upon us to assure them that we know no reputed Tory who would more liberally and impartially administer the Govern ment of Ireland than the Nobleman in question. He has no sympathies with the Orange faction, and is capable of respecting the mistaken prejudices of a people, who maintained with so much obstinacy,, under such long and severe trials, the faith and the customs of their fathers. We congratulate Sir R. PEEL upon the moderation of the policy which he has resolved to adopt towards Ire land. It is the wisest, safest, and best course that he could pursue. By no other could the union of the two countries be now maintained. Nor will it prove less important in another point of view. Sir ROBERT PEEL is fast breaking the neck of Toryism in Eng land, whereas in Ireland he must soon extinguish it altogether. Let him only take a few steps more in the path which he is now following, and we see nothing to prevent a coalition of parties, in which Lord JOHN RUSSELL and himselt may sit cheek by jowl upon the Treasury Bench. Even now his stanchest supporters are, in four cases out of five, the Whigs. Mr. FERRAND has not half so much right to boast that he extirpated the Corn , law League as Sir ROBERT PEEL has, that he has broken the back of Toryism in Great Britain, and is bent upon breaking the neck of Orangeism in Ireland. In so praiseworthy a work, where is the Liberal that will not wish the Premier Deceiver-Gene ral the utmost success ? It is gratifying to witness the healthy tone which per vades the speeches of Members of Parliament on certain questions, which, but a few years ago, they were almost afraid to mention, and never had the courage to oppose openly. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, when Mr. PARINGTON, brought forward his absurd clause to extend the blessings of the Metropolitan Police to the country, could see no harm in a poor man enjoying his " cakes and ale" on a Sunday as well as a Saturday; and Mr. MACAULAY, the representative of Edinburgh, so famed for the strict observance of the Sabbath, absolutely turned the motion of Mr. PLUMPTRE on Saturday, into ridicule. The motion was to stop all Sunday travelling, except in cases of charity and necessity—points, no doubt, very difficult to decide, and the responsibility of which it would be very unfair to throw upon the Directors of railways. What one man might consider a work of neces sity, another might regard as a gross de secration of the Sabbath. An affectionate father, for instance, would think it a work of necessity and mercy to pursue a runaway daughter to Gretna Green, while an old maid would denounce this paternal conduct as a great sin. A banker, who was afraid of a run upon him some fine Monday morning, would consider it a work of absolute necessity to carry at the utmost railroad speed his bag of gold, even during the hours of Divine service, while Sir ANDREW AGNEW would say, "Perish the bank, but let the sacred day be kept holy." The motion certainly was extremely absurd, and all the ra tional people of Scotland will be delighted to learn that one of their Members had the manliness to denounce it in these words :—" If there is any proposition made to restrain firther Sunday travelling, I shall oppose it to the utmost, and I now object to the adoption of the clause, because the House would be placed in a most ludicrous situation, by adopting so extravagant and monstrous a proposition." This sentence was loudly cheered from all parts of the House, and we therefore conclude that while the present Parliament lasts we shall be saved the trouble of animadverting on the presumption of those Sabbatarians who would regulate the con duct of every man according to their own bigoted and superstitious principles. It will be seen from the list of the division that Mr. PLUMPTRE and Mr. HARDY, the tellers, had only eight Members to support them ; and, to the credit of the Liberal party, they were, with one exception, Tories. These, of course, are the only " ten righteous men" in the House. The division in the House of Commons, on the second reading of the Poor-law Bill, is another flagrant proof of the cool assurance with which many of the Tory Mem bers violate the pledges they made to their constituents on the hustings. Such pledges they seem to look on quite as matters of course—in fact, as pie -crusts, made only to be broken. A Tory on the hustings differs as much from the same Tory in Parliament, as white differs from black, or light from shade. He is all for the people in the one case ; he is all for his party in the other. On the hustings his political conscience is in an emi nent d egree ; in the se stern and unyielding nate, it is so pliant and accommodating that, like Indian rubber, it will stretch to any extent. Few but must remember the highly virtuous and indignant manner in which, at the last election, many of the Tories spoke against the New Poor-law. It was a nuisance, they said, a crying injustice a flagrant enormity—that could not be too soon done away with. Let them but once get into Parliament, and then their constituents should see how active, and sea lous, and uncompromising they would ba on the subject ! They would pretty quickly make all the supporters of the heinous measure shake in their shoes ! As for I eing influenced by party motives on such a momentous mat ter—perish the base idea ! they were influenced but by one feeling, and that was, a determination to do their duty to their respectable and enlightened constituents, by in sisting to the utmost of their power on the immediate repeal of the tyrannical act in question ! Fine words, and how have they been followed up? In the division of Friday night but sixty Members voted against the second reading of the Poor-law measure, and of these sixty more than one-half were Liberals ; so that actually not thirty Tories, out of a body of at least four hundred, redeemed the pledges they had so eagerly volunteered on the hustings ! And these are the men who pique themselves on their honesty, manliness, consistency, and so forth, and taunt the Whigs with their glaring defici encies in these respects One among them—Mr. STUART WORTLEY—dwelt with special emphasis on his own un deviating steadiness of purpose ; but was, nevertheless , sorely put to it to reconcile his hustings pledges w i t h hi s Parliamentary performances. At his election his intrepid and disinterested patriotism induced him to in h most vehem ntly tie! new Poor-law ; but on Friday night this same patriotisnt :lad somehow or other played truant ; in fact, it was "non est inventus," and in its absence, the Hon. Member was found voting for the second reading of the Bill. To be sure, he seemed per fectly aware that he was in—what JONATHAN would call—" a fix ;" and twisted, and twirled, and wriggled, like an eel in a cook-maid's fist, and made all sorts of wry faces, at the idea of supporting a measure which he had formerly denounced ; still, he did sup port it, observin g , h owever , b y way o f apo l o gy f°l* his tortuous conduct, that he " o .dy vo t e d for the second reading in an a b s t rac t sense ?" What .the Hon. Member mean s by th e , 4 a'istract sen s e" of a posi tive, matter-of-fa c t, b us i ness lik e vote, i t i s i mpo ssible for us to conjecture. Wi t h j ust as muc h pro priety might he talk of being cashiered at the next election le , an " abstract sense ;" or o f p a yi ng hi s fi rst h a lf-year 's Income-tax in an "an abstract sense !" Possibly, b 0" ever, he intended only to mystify the House ; and if I° ' he has succeeded most effectually ; for his °fib stract sense"—like the late Lord CASTLEREACHI / 11 : taphors—is the very perfection of no-meaning. the bye, we perceive that he has given notice o f OS motions on the subject of the New Poor-law measel, evidently with a view to maintain his character for co! sistency, pacify his constituents, and reconcile thou ° his vote.
