The affair of Mr. HOPE, late President of the Court of Session, which has made some noise in Parliament, and snore in Scotland, has done little credit to any of the four parties mixed up in it. The motion of Mr. Fox MAULE was extremely injudicious ; he knew well that President HOPE had for years been waiting only for the return of his party, to resign, and unless he could have made out a continued series of er roneous judgments, or given some striking proofs of im becility, he might have been assured that the Tory majority would be too many for him, and that the at tempt to stigmatise this venerable idol of the HOPES -would be attributed to spleen, or unavailing re gret that the appointment had been taken out of the hands of the Whigs. He has there fore been subjected to this obloquy, and has besides been compelled to retract and express deep sorrow (as he well might) that the subject had ever been mooted. And why mix up the Strathbogie rebellion with this foolish af fair? The remarks made by the aged President on hear ing the ease appeared to us judicious and honest, and the late Under Secretary, whose leanings are well known, and who was an interested party, should have been the last man to cast even the shade of an imputation on the purity of the judicial bench. The conduct of Sir R. PEEL was not much better. Had he, following the oxample of his colleague, Lord STANLEY, when a similar charge was made by Mr. O'CoNNELL against an Irish Judge, acceded to the motion, the question would have been settled in a constitutional manner, with out compelling two interested and accused parties, father and son, to come before Parliament, and give covi deuce in their own behalf. As for the LORD ADVO CATE, the course which he chose to pursue, is totally in comprehensible. He denied point blank that the President had been absent for even one day, yet refused to grant the official information, which would give more satisfac tion than letters from every one of the numerous hopeful family in Scotland. The paltry squabble has this re markable feature (a rare circumstance in such disputes) that all tip parties have committed such egregious blun ders, that no one can crow over the other. The Shareholders of the Edinburgh and Glasgow itailwfiy are to meet on Tuesday the 22d instant, to decide a principle which concerns the whole com munity, and we wish them a happy deliverance. We have repeatedly called the attention of the public to the absurd, nay more, the wicked attempt to stop the running of mails on Sunday ; and and from the numerous letters received on the subj&t, and the indignation excited among the Proprietors by the meddling and impudent interference of a hypocri tical; sect, to the certain injury of private pro perty, we confidently look forward to the triumph of common sense and true religion over the bigotry and the self-interest of the non-intrusionist clergy. Is all 'communication between the capital of Scotland and the populous towns in the west—Glasgow, Greenock, Paisley, Kilmarnock, &c.—to be stopped for twenty-four hours, because the holier-than-thou men are pleased to de nounce a work of necessity, a work of duty, and often of a desecration of the Sabbath ? mere; All the letters received from the well-informed resi dents in Paris, Bordeaux, Bayonne, San Sebastian, and Madrid, confirm the reports in circulation of the in tended outbreak of a Christino-Carlist conspiracy in Spain. The pseudo French Ambassador, M. SALVANDY, has bequeathed a legacy to the REGENT which we fear Spain will be long in forgetting. It appears that this official personage, while apparently higgling about a point of etiquette, was in reality corrupting as many disaffected Spaniards as were accessible to the blandish ments of the Ex-REGENT, the favour of the King of the FRENCH, and the gold of which a_ worthless woman had robbed the Spanish treasury. General CONCHA and the Duke of SAN CARLOS, who directed the murderous attack upon the Palace, were sheltered by M. DE SALVANDY in his own house, eonreyed in carriages to France, and by him presented as especial favourites to Madame Mutroz —now the evil genius of Spain. Latterly all the Chris tino general officers in France have been gradually collect ing upon the frontier to be ready for throwing themselves into Spain when the signal is made at Paris. General JAREGUY (El Pastor) is within a few leagues of Bay onne, where he corresponds regularly with his adherents in. Guipuzcoa. Generals URBISTONDO, PIQtTERo, ,and ECHALAR are at Bordeaux, and, to crown all, it is as serted that CABRERA is concealed in Paris, assisting CHRISTINA in settling her plans for again unfurling the the standard of Revolution in Spain about the middle of .April. As the basis of the combination of the Chris tinos and Carlists is a marriage between the young QUEEN -and the eldest son of Don Cmos, the friends of that Prince all are cordial in their support of it. CARLOS himself is still somewhat obstinate, but the Prin cess of BEIRA, his wife, admits that the cause of CAR- Los alone is now hopeless. The prime mover of the plot is the CITIZEN KING, who, however, has the tact to appear to the less trusted Christino chiefs to know nothing at all about it. Nevertheless he is the life and soul of the whole movement. He it is who calms the fierce turbulence of the Carlists, and directs the dark treasons of the Christino leaders. W e ll aware of the anti-constitutional designs of the Court of Portugal, he essays in that quarter to strike the first blow against the Spanish Constitution and the Regency of ESPARTERO. This is the secret of the Chartist in surrection in Oporto guided by COSTA CABRAL, who is acting under secret instructions from Queen DONNA Msnii. The abolition of the Constitution of Portugal in favour of Don PEDRO'S Charter, would afford a pre text for the Spanish adherents of CHRISTINA to declare in favour of replacing the Constitution of 1837 by the Estatuto Real of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA. The firmness of the REGENT, and the patriotism of the Cortes and army of Spain, will soon be severely tested. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S declaration in the House of Commons that the sympathies of the British Cabinet are wholly in favour of the dampesteab lished Governm ent of Spain, has already the hopes of some of CHRISTINA MUNOZ'S Parisian friends. Besides, the REGENT has now had fair warning given him, and has ample time to put Spain in a proper state of defence. Should he triumphantly defeat the present unhallowed alliance between the Christinos and Carlists, he will have broken the neck of insurrection in Spain daring the minority of Queen ISABELLA. The scan dalous and abandoned designs and conduct of Madame :Muxoz will stand so exposed to the world, that a gang of.be.rulits would shrink from the odium of fighting under her banner. _ Scorn and contempt are showered by the French mister's and their organs, upon the deVoted heads of the Liberal Opposition. M. G UIZOT has set an example to the Court and the retailers of its scandals, which we are prepared to see very generally followed. Instead of offering to confute the arguments of M. Ducos and M. DE LAMARIINE in favour of an extension of the suffrage, that able and distinguished Minister stooped to the employment of fierce invective, notorious misre presentation, and the most contemptuous scorn of every party opposed to the views of the Government, He absolutely appeared to glory in trampling upon and insulting them, and invited all his supporters to unite with him in ridiculing their pretensions. Such a course was equally unworthy of M. GutzoT's intellect and his acknowledged political sagacity; to treat a great party in the State with contempt, however extravagant its demands may appear, is to infuse it with a spirit of undying hostility. Lord BACON, who was as great a statesman ss a philosopher, regarded a Minister who treated his opponents with scorn, as the most dangerous person in the State. "It may seem strange," says that great authority, " that in the description of men, formed, as it were, by Nature for the destruction of States, SOLOMON should select the character, not of a proud and haughty, not of a tyrannical and cruel, not of a rash and violent, not of a seditious and turbulent, not of e, foolish and incapable man ; but the character of a scorner. Yet this choice is becoming the wisdom of that King, who well knew how Governments were subverted, and how preserved. For there is scarce such another destructive thing to Kingdoms and Common wealths as that the Counsellors, who sit at the helm, should be naturally scorners. They despise rumours as the breath of the rabble, and things that will soon p an ever ; though the counsels of Princes are chiefly to b e directed from hence. '1 hey reject as dreams and melancholy motions those counsels and precautions that regard futurity • - -at adistance. They satirize and banter such men as qtly prudent and knowing in affairs ; or such as hii*thin binds and are capable of advising.. In short, . 74 '”Y 41 % attrtile foundations of political government at 01 " i a th. 4 which deserves the greater attention, as 8 it is not effected by open attack, but by secret under mining pnor is it by any means so much suspected among mankind as it deserves." M. GIITZOT is no stranger to the works of BACON, and we cannot doubt that had the above passage met his eye before ascending the tribune to speak on M. Ducos' motion, he would have expressed himself very differently of a question capable of enlisting the sympathies of such ' men as M. DE LAMARTINE. His forty-one of a majority, and the vituperative buffooneries of the Court Journals, will in the end prove but a weak defence against the energy of men stung to madness by his taunts, his con tumely, and his unmitigated scorn and contempt. The great body of th e O ppos i t i on was before comparatively passive ; the Minister has now infused into, it the fierce, perturbed vitality - of revenge. But the charge of employing scorn and contempt to put down an opposition does not apply exclusively to the French Cabinet. It applies with equal force to the Tory Cabinet and Tory Press of England. The demands of our own people for an extended suffrage, a free trade, an equalization of taxation, and the protection of the ballot, are all treated by the Tories with the most marked and insulting scorn. The chair of the scorner is now placed at the right hand of the President of the Council. The right to occupy it on all great &bile occasions is a pre rogative which custom has assigned to a seat in the Ca binet. The people, seeing their misery made the subject of the mockery of men in power, have gradually grown to distrust their rulers, and to have no confidence save in themselves. As the French are more prone to be affected by ridi cule than the English, the contemptuous bearing of a Minister is more likely to produce a speedy explosion in France than in England. There to taunt a faction with its impotence is the surest way to rouse all its latent energies, which are sure to be directed, not against a Ministry, as in England, but against the constitutional throne, and the entire framework of society. Some of the French Deputies are by no means pleased at the length at which the Parisian Journals report their speeches. Instead, however, of removing the stamp-duty, which prevents newspaper proprietors from increasing the size of their sheets, M. GOL BERY brought forward a motion on Thursday last for printing the reports in full at the public expense, and allowing all the electors to have free copies. A motion so ridiculous ought to have been scouted at once, instead of which the Chamber pro ceeded with as much gravity to discuss it, as if the object of it was to extend the electoral franchise. The French Deputies are paid for their services by the country, and it is rather too much to tax the nation to gratify the vanity of a few long winded orators among them. If they want to read full reports of their own speeches, they have only to establish a Journal like the English Mir ror of Parliament, at their own expense ; and if they would have the country participate in the pleasures derivable from the perusal of their eloquence, let them only abolish the stamp duty, and give freedom to the press. The self interest of newspaper proprietors will do all that M. GOLBERY proposes to do, without imposing a sous of additional taxation upon France. The Bureaux will meet to-day, to examine the project of law, relative to iron railways, and to deliberate on the motion, of which notice has been given by M. Chapins de Mont laville, relative to printers. The editor of the Gazette de France appealed yesterday to the Court of Cessation, against the sentence passed by the Court of Assize on the 14th of February. The affair of the Haro, a journal of Caen, came on before the Court of Assize of Calvados, on the 15th inst. M. Massot, the Advocate-General, having read the article inculpated, called on the Court for a verdict of guilty on M. Barthelemey Pons, the editor of the Haro, according to the law of 1819 and 1822. M. Barthelemy having suffered judgment to go by default, the Court, at the instance of the public prosecutor, delivered a sentence which condemns the editor of the Hero to a fine of 10,000 francs, the costs, and 15 months' imprisonment. L' Univers says—" One of our correspondents in India writes to us from Bangalore, on the 24th December, 1841, as follows : —' War is said to be now inevitable between the English and Tharawaddee, King of Ave, who , _ besides other acts of aggres sion, is said to have seized the Proserpine steamer, with de spatches for the government of India."— Constitutional.

The parties to the appeal being " Deare v. Elwyn." Their Lordships pronounced for the validity of the will of the de ceased of 1837, in favour of Mrs. Elwyn, the respondent. Judgments were given in several other appeals, which had been heard at former sittings. Lord Brougham, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Wynford, Mr. Justice Erskine, and Dr. Lushington, were the Lords present. BRADFORD-FRIDA Y. (PROM ♦ COARRAPONDENT.) Ever since the plan of Sir Robert Peel was known, we have been in one continued ferment, and many have been the plans to show our abhorence of Sir Robert Peel's Sliding Scale. Foley, the Inspector of Police, and upwards of twenty of his men, were ou Tuesday night here, on account of a report that Peelwas to be burnt in effigy that evening, and also on Wed nesday evening. Last night they mustered stronger, and many in disguise, and fully expected they should make a job ; but the inhabitants of Bradford, wei e too wide awake. The effigy of the Premier was brought into the town by water, and stopped just below the bridge, and every place that commanded a view was crowded to excess. The Judge and his clerk were landed on one of the slips formerly used by our manufacturers for washing wool, and now to exhibit and condemn the enemy of our trade and commerce. The effigy was brought down the river on a large scale with slides under it, so that it could be slid up and down, it being intended to slide it throngh the town, had net the police been sent for the purpose of entrapping the unwary. It was well tarred an A feathered, and then with stone round the neck, sunk in the river. MEETING AT DARLINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-Our Anti-Corn-law meeting is just closed. We have not had such a meeting since the days of the Reform agitation. large party of the Chartists were present, and cordially co operated in passing several stringent resolutions, condemning the injustice and cruelty of the torn -laws, and the insult offered to the people by the Ministerial propositions.

GIBSON V. PAWSON. THE FUNDS. Ditto New 7i 5 Great Western 65 Ditto New London ant i - Brighton 50 35M ... to THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 19. 1842. The Hon. Octavius Duncombe, youngest son of Lord Feversham, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar, Lady Caroline Campbell, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Cawdor. It is rumoured that the Queen Dowager has an inten don of taking Rothsay Castle, near Christchurch, the seat of Lord Stuart de Rothsay, her Majesty having been advised to reside on the southern coast. The Duke of Wellington is expected to arrive at Strathfieldsaye on Tuesday next, in order to give his annual banquet to the Judges on the Western Circuit. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY COURT-(THS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn-hall to-day. PEYTON V. HUGHES. This case stood in the paper to-day by special appointment, for the convenience of the Solicitor-General. The case came before his Lordship upon the re-hearing of a decree pro nounced by Lord Cottenham. The question in the cause arose under the will of an old.gentleman named Houston, who died in the year 1814, leaving freehold and personal property to a very large amount. The will was most singularly worsted, and the question under it for the consideration of the Court now was whether Reynold Peyton, the plaintiff, as the eldest son of Elizabeth Peyton, the daughter of theniece of the testator, was entitled to the real estates as tenant in tail, and to the personal property absolutely. Lord Cottenham, upon the case coming on before him, made a decree, declaring that the plain tiff was entitled as tenant in tail to the possession oC the free • hold estates, and that he had an absolute interest in the per sonal estate. The case now came before the Court upon the re-hearing of that decree. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL appeared on behalf of the defen dant, contending that the decree of Lord Chancellor Cottenham was inconsistent with itself, and that the will was void for un certainty. Mr. TINNEY and Mr. HODGSON were in support of the decree of Lord Cottenham. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) DAVIS V. FISHER. The arguments in this cause were brought to a conclusion to Air LORDSHIP deferred judgment to Saturday next. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) • SUTTON V. , BARNARD. . - . The further arguments in this part-heard case, occupied his Honour the whole morning. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRucE.) BO B. RIDGE V. ROW. This was a petition that the Accountant-General might be directed to pay to the petitioner, Sarah Burridge, upon trusts of indenture, dated the 22d of November, 1828, all dividends which bad accrued due, or hereafter might accrue due, upon the sum of 5,9921. Three per Cent. Annuities, standing in her name. Mr. Simpkinson appeared for the petitioner. The facts of the case have already appeared in The Sun. The Learned Counsel said that by the original settlement it appeared that the money was settled, after the death of Mr. Row, the first husband, upon Mrs. Row, for her life, for her separate use, independently of that first husband ; but there was , no provision for separate use in case the should marry again. She had since intermarried with Mr. Burridge. No settlement was executed between them, in consideration of the marriage, but it appeared that antecedent to the marriage, by a deed of the 22d of November, 1828, Mrs. Burridge as• signed over her life-interest to pay the dividends which might accrue to her during her life, to her separate use,and there was a clause in the deed restraining anticipation. By the decree made at the hearing in Hilary Term, it was declared that Sarah Burridge was entitled to the dividends arising from this money `for her life. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Did she execute that deed merely with reference to the possibility of marriage in general? Mr. Szairxmort—The deed states that the sum might thenceforth belong to the petitioner for her separate use, free from control of her said husband." The VICE..CHANCELLOK—What is the meaning of "her said husband?" Mr. Sistemwsow—Mr. Row was then alive. The Vice-dxisrcitioa--HOW could she effect anything under the first settlement during the joint life of her first has band and herself ? _ Mr. SisTriiiiNsoN—l think she could not effect anything. It was to be paid to her for her life, and during the life of her first husband it was to be for her separate use; but there seems to be no declaration which would enable her to assiga it. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Then the second deed would not appear to be worth much. Mr. SIMPICINSON— The second husband concurs. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—If he consents that she shall re ceive it to her separate use, I can have no objection ; other wise the suit would have been improperly framed. Mr. COOPER, said he had appeared for the parties who were adverse to the plaintiff at the hearing of the cause, and he had no objection to offer to the prayer of the petition. The VICE-CHANCELLOR—Is it desirable to have an affidavit verifying the second deed? The SOLICITOR for the plaintiff said that when the sum had been carried over, a proper settlement would be made by the wife. Mr. SIMPKINSON—The better way would be to have the sum transferred. The VILE-CHANCELLOR—This second deed appears to me a most unintelligible document. As I understand the case. by the original settlement there was a life interest given to Mrs. Row, for her separate use during the life of her first husband and herself, and after his decease to her not for her separate use. Probably I had better read the petition. if you will give me copies of that and of the two instruments, I will read them, and give my decision with as little delay as possible. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Up to the time of our going to iress the Court had dis posed of three cases, all of which were of the most uninterest ing description. COMMON PLEAS.-(TFIIS DAY.) This was an action brought by the assignees of a bankrupt against creditors, to recover the sum of 3451. paid to them by a fraudulent preference, after the bankruptcy. The bank rupt Martin had been an assistant to the defendants, the great warehousemen in St. Paul's Church-yard, but afterwards want into business on his own account. Being un successful and insolvent, he communicated to the de fendants the state of his affairs, and wished them to take back so much of their goods as remained in hand. This, they were informed by their so licitor , they co u ld no t l ega lly d o , an d there fore they obtained instead a power of attorney for their debt. To compel them to refund that amount f or t h e b ene fi t o f t h e creditors in general th i s action w as b roug ht, an d t h e J ury found for the plaintiff. - COLEMAN V. SHERRARD. This eras an action against a policeman for false imprisonment. It appeared that tke plaintiff and de fendant had a squabble in a public-house, in the course of which the defendant received a blow, and there fore took the plaintiff into custody, on the charge of an assault. '1 he inspector on duty dismissed the complaint, and this action was brought for the false imprisonment. The Jury found for the plaintiff, Damages 20s. A 4 this verdict does not carry costs, unless the Judge cer tifies that the imprisonment was malicious, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD asked the Judge to certify in that case. Loan CHIEF JUSTICE—HOW can I certify , that this was a malicious act? It was clearly only a very foolish one. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

" Who runs may read." POREXGN. France ' with a population estimated at thirty-four millions, has only two hundred and twenty-four thou sand electors—or one elector for every hundred and fifty persons. Who can deny that an extension of the suf frage is not demanded under the Charter of 1830 ? There is not a syllable of important news in the French Papers. A letter from Bangalore of the 24th December, quoted by the Univers, says that war is now inevitable between the English and the Bing of Avg.. The latter is said, among other acts of aggression, to have seized the Pro serpine steamer, which was conveying despatches to the Governor-General of India. Two notes, protesting against the closing of the con vents and taking an inventory of this description of church property, have been presented by the Pope's Nuncio to the Grand Council of the Swiss canton of I'es sino. The Lucerne Gazette speaks of an intended meet ing of the Swiss Bishops of Sion, Geneva, Bask, Coire, and the Apostolic Vicar of St. Gall, with those of Como and Milan, in order to hold a conference as to the rights of the Swiss Catholics. In the sitting of the Spanish Congress, on the 10th inst., the Gonzales Cabinet has at length obtained a triumph, as the amendment of Senors Posada and Men dizabal, counter-amended by Senor Montanes, was car ried by a majority of 77 against 67, thus rejecting the censure conveyed in the sixth paragraph of the Address, relative to the Barcelona state of siege, as drawn up by the Commission. The resignation of the present Ministry is now, therefore, no longer expected. These tiresome discussions are now over, after a month's duration. PARLIAMENTARY. Lord Kinnaird last night, in the House of Lords, pre sented several petitions for the repeal of the Corn-laws, and drew their Lordships' attention to the great distress which prevails at Paisley and other places. Lord Campbell announced his intention of bringing forward a Bill for the improvement of the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. _ . . In the Commons a great number of petitions were presented for the abolition of the Corn-laws. Lord Eliot gave notice that he will introduce a Bill to legalize marriages by Dissenting ministers in Ireland, on the 24th instant. In reply to Mr. C. Buller, Lord Eliot said that a man had been actually sentenced to death in Ireland for killing a goat, but he was set at liberty by the Govern ment. The Noble Lord promised to introduce a Bill to abolish the ancient law under which the man was sen tenced to death. Mr. Wakley read a letter from the late Lord Pre. sident Hope,stating, honourably to Mr.Wakley, that as he appeared to have acted on public grounds, the Lord President informed him that during eleven years he had been absent from only three jury trials. Sir Robert Peel added, that the Lord President had not applied to him in 1834-5, to be released from his duties. Mr. Fox Maule made a proper apoplogy for his error. The Speaker would not allow Mr. Milner Gibson to read a declaration from his constituents, signed by 20,000 pe'rsons, against Sir Robert P e el' s plan. On the Belfast Election petition, which involves a question of privilege, as it was signed by a Peer, it was settled that the petition having been received by the House, it had no option but to refer the petition to the General Election Committee. Mr. Thesiger thereupon withdrew his motion, and the petition was referred. On going into a Committee on the Corn-laws, Mr. Villiers brought forward his motion for the total repeal of all duties on corn, and the House was occupied with that subject the remainder of the evening. A consider able number of Members spoke, but none of much weight, except the mover. Mr. Leader and Mr. Bro therton made good speeches. At twelve o'clock the debate and the House were both adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The Herald accuses Lord Palmerston of inconsistency, as regards his Corn-law opinions ; and remarks, with reference to his Lordship's e x p ress i on o f a hope that the people will bear their sufferings with patience—" for forty years Lord Palmerston has contemplated these sufferings with indifference, and now because the Im perial Legislature exhibits a determination to be some what more consistent than the Noble Lord has been, he subjects it to his gibes and impertinence." The Chronicle asserts that Sir Robert Peel; notwith standing his constant swagger about independence, is but the " Minister of the landed interest, who, as they put him in, can put him out, whenever they please. Sir Robert Peel may, by his measures, please or displease, the squirearchy ; and so long as he pleases them, he is secure in his place ; but to independence he has no just claim." The Post, in the course of some comments on the Opposition's "pain and sorrow"—as our Contemporary phrases it—" on account of Sir Robert Peel's position, says, "we think it not improbable that, after all, the Whigs would not be unwilling to bear in their own proper, persons all those marks of displeasure which they ire so sorry that Sir R. Peel has to encounter. Would they not like to have the indignation of the country against them, manifested in a majority of 123 in their favour ?" The Times speaks in warm terms of praise of M. Guizot's late speech in the French Chamber of Deputies, observing—" M. Guizot's speech against M. Ducos' motion for the extension of the electoral franchise was one of the finest displays of that great statesman's elo quence, and the result shows that it was one of the most successful orations ever addressed to a Legislative As sembly. It was the speech of a profound thinker, as well as of as able Minister, and it deserves to be studied for its solid political truth and wisdom, as well as ad mired for its adroit application to the critical position of the Government." The Advertiser remarks that the people, agitated for years by party excitement, " yearn to repose on some fixed system of Government, which neither of the rival factions have as yet proposed for their consideration. They must therefore take counsel for themselves. The Charter is the ,first proposition of this counsel. We mean not here to discuss the merits or defects of the pro position farther than to asseverate that any Charter is better than starvation." We take the following from the Hull Advertiser : " The Ministerial project for the relief of the country from the pernicious operation of the Corn-laws is at last before Parliament and the people. A mockery—a heartless mockery—of the sufferings of a patient and enduring people it can only be fitly styled, if we consider it in the light of a remedial measure ; while, looking at it in juxta-position with the existing scale, apart from any weighty consideration, we freely admit that Sir Ro berCs scale is an improvement to the extent of lopping off some unseemly and useless exuberances." The North Devon Journal expresses itself as follows on Sir Robert Peel's Corn -law scheme :—" Sir Robert Peel, as though conscious how unpalatable his proposed measure would be, delayed to the very last to make it known ; dwelling tediously upon all kinds of subjects that could by the utmost straining be made to appear at all relevant to the sliding scale. What.would have been the conduct of an ingenuous mind in Sir Robert Peel's situation ! Very different, we trow, from that of the wily Baronet. He would have addressed himself at once to the matter at issue." The Leicester Mercury contains the following obser vations :—" The greatest feature in the present aspect of public affairs, is the rapid progress of the Suffrage ques tion. There are indications of a brighter and batter state of things—of a union between the middle and working classes, at which the aristocracy will tremble, and the prospect of which must fill the heart of every true patriot with joy." The Coventry Herald thus speaks of Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law scheme :—" The speech and the plans of Peel, are quite worthy of each other, and in perfect keeping with the tactics by which he got into office, and has been pursuing ever since ; for a more contemptible effort to give an air of gravity and weight to the pretensions of a quack, was never got up." The Brighton Guardian says:—" It is pretty plain, from Sir R. Peel's own speech and the observations in the Times, that this new scale is not a final measure : that it is, in fact, a stop-gap, and that if the people press the Government hard, it will be found composed of squeeze able materials. We doubt if even the present Session will close without it being understood that the Govern ment will further retrace their steps." MONEY-TRADE-COMMERCE. A Stockport paper states that notice has been given at several of the neighbouring cotton-mills, for a reduction of the wages of hand-loom weavers, 10 per cent. The Port of Plymouth General Shipping Company determined at their last meeting not to insure the vessels of the Company in future. AGILICULTITRAL. The Essex Standard states that the majority of the agriculturists regard the Government Corn-law plan as the largest measure of protection they could expect at the present time. LAW AND POLICE. At the Thames-office 11. Kates, a Lambeth d re d ger man, who had been often convicted by the Magistrates of that Court, during fourteen years, was committed for stealing coals from Mr. Lucas, a quaker. A young man named Kelly, was brought before the Magistrate at Union-hall, charged with throwing stones at the carriages on the Greenwich Railway, but as Mr. Trail suspected he had been convicted before, he was remanded for further inquiry. The trial of Mr. Christopher's great will cause is again put off until April. Yesterday at Worship-street James Richards, Jewin crescent, cheesemonger, and William Walton, traveller to a wholesale cheesemonger, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with assaulting Mr. Smith, surgeon, Whitecross-street. It appeared that they had entered the complainant's shop in a state bordering on intoxication. One insisted upon having two pennyworth of arsenic, and the other sixpenny worth of laudanum, and on being refused by the assis tant became violent, and finally the prisoner Richards assaulted Mr. Smith, who is about 74 years of age. They were fined 40s. each. SPORTING. A steeple-chase took place at Romford on Thursday last, on which occasion the Eastern Counties Railway was called into requisition in a somewhat novel manner. A special train was provided to convey the elite of the sporting world to witness the exhibition, which we un derstand w as on a very sp l en di d scale. Wh en the horses started fr om R omford, the train went off at t h e same mo ment, keeping parallel with them the whole distance (two miles out and two miles in), thus affording an op portunity never before presented of witnessing a steeple chase throughout. COIT UT-PASHIONABLE. The Duchess Dowager of Cleveland, accompanied by all the late Duke's relatives, has left Raby Castle, and is j now in strict seclusion at the seat of Mark Milbank, Lsq MEMOIR OF COUNT POZZO DI BORGO. At the remote age of seventy-four, the most subtle of mo dern polif cians, the most acute and practised of diplomatists, has been removed from the busy scenes in which he acted so conspicuous a part. The sudden dispensation of Providence has taken away the political prophet, whose predictions were almost ever unfailing ; who, versed in all the mysteries of men's motives and their intrigues, pierced with his keen and practised understanding, into the depths of their most hidden measures, with a precision that startled even the proLundest tacticians of Europe. Charles Andre Pozzo di Borgo was born Bth March, 1768. The Corsican family of Pozzo, from which he sprang, honour ably ranks among the first nobles of that island, audits haughty nobles inhabited for centuries a small castle called Montichi, among the mountain fastnesses. In modern times the race of Pozzo di Borgo established themselves in the village of Pozzo di Borgo, within a short distance of Ajaccio, and in 1775, when Corsica was united to France, were by that treaty entitled to all the privileges enjoyed by the aristocratic orders. The education of young Pozzo di Borgo was entrusted to an Abbe, but earthly wisdom appears to have occupied his mind more than spiritual, and the scholar's political powers blos somed at an early age. When the French Revolution burst with volcanic violence over Europe, Corsica was included in the shock, and shaken by the mighty dissension. The families of the island split themselves into two factions. The patriotic party had at their head Paoli and the youthful Pozzo di Borgo : the repub lican faction mustered Bonaparte, Arena, and Salicetti. From the very commencement of the Revolution, young De Borgo was active in the agitation, and he began his diplomacy early. Louis XIV. having convoked the nobility of Corsica, to draw up at Ajaccio a statement of the islanders' complaints and demands, Pozzo di Borgo, being then only in the first year of his majority, received the appointment of principal Secretary to the Assembly. Subsequently deputed by his countrymen, he bore their address of congratulation and fraternity to the National Convention at Paris, and was finally chosen to represent the province of Ajaccio in the legislative body of France, formed after the dissolution of the Constitutional Senate. His next turn in the political labyrinth was an important step; he became a member of the Diplomatic Committee under the Pre sidency of Brissot. It was in this school that Pozzo di Borgo studied his early views of diplomacy, a school which contained all the elements of Republicanism in itself, and which, with a policy entirely novel to Europe. pursued in its foreign depart ment the revived spirit of ancient Rome, that treated all kings and potentates with the haughtiness and arro ;ance of superla tive national greatness. At this period Pozzo di Borgo, when he ascended the rostrum, which was, perhaps, but seldom, de livered his speeches in the declamatory and bombasticstyle com mon to the younger orators of the Revolution. One of them, which we have before us, being a harangue delivered (16th July, 1792) on the question of involving France in a general war, is a fierce attack upon absolute government. The Legislative A ssembly dissolved, Pozzo di forgo hastened to Corsica, and soon after his return, began, with Paoli, to agitate the establishment of the national independence ; he began to spread the fire and raise the mountain-cries. For these measures he was impeached by Salicetti, by whom he and Paoli were summoned to appear at the bar of the Convention, and answer to the formal accusation of forming systems and projects for separating Corsica from France. The seeds of deep-planted enmity from this moment sprang up between Pozzo di Borgo and Bonaparte—that irreconcileable hatred, which, as will be afterwards seen, exercised more influence than is generally suspected upon the events of 1814. The decree of the Convention reached Paoli and Pozzo di Borgo among the mountains at Carte, the capital. They knew the danger of diso bedience, but the popular voice was too mighty. The as sembled masses from the mountains unanimously passed reso lutions charging Paoli and Pozzo di Borgo to continue the ad ministration of their departments, without paying any respect to the Convention. The resolutions were signed by 1,200 per sons. This Corsican manifesto of the bold mountaineers, which of course shut out all thoughts of amicable adjustment with the French Government, was determined to be upheld sword in hand ; though the port itself of the town was hotly invested by the French, under the command of the very Bonaparte whose name the insurgents so hated; and though they, rural denizens, had not a tithe to oppose to the invader's battle array. At this critical moment an English fleet appeared before Ajaccio, bearing offers of protection and aid, provided Corsica would place itself under the supremacy of Great Britain. Paoli, commissioned by his countrymen, went on board, the Admiral was met, and a sketch proposed for a new Constitu tion, based on the principles of the Magna Charts of England, which was laid before the National Convention. Paoli proposed Pozzo di Borgo as President of the State Council, and pre sented him, saying—" I will answer for him. He is a man as well qualified to guard the interests of a nation, as capable of protecting a mountain-herd, and knows how to repel aggres sion by the argument of arms." Insubordination, animated by the fresh prosperities of the French arms, gained new strength every day, and the scanty forces of Paoli were threatened to be crushed. At length, when it became evident thst the tri-coloured standard would soon be raised ever on the towers of Ajaccio, Pozzo di Borgo did not wait to witness the catastrophe. He embarked in an English man-of-war, which bore him to Elba, thence to Naples, and thence again to Elba. The frigate Minerva subsequently conveyed him to England, and he re mained upwards of eighteen months in London, where he enjoyed the honours due to his high abilities, and where, while sojourning, he made acquaintance with many noble French emigrants, which ultimately led to his employ ment in some secret diplomatic missions, which progressively increased both in number and importance. The year 1798 saw him in Vienna; France had then experieeced various reverses, except where Buonaparte was moving. Suwarrow was marching from victory to victory, and during this particular crisis Pozzo di forgo took a most active part in all the diplomatic movements linked with the course of military action. At that time, in the flower of his age, for he numbered only 30 years, he was continually tra versing Germany and Italy, to forward and sustain by his Cabinet intrigues, the warlike preparations of the old Russian Field- Marshal, though his labours were ultimately rendered useless after the defeat of General Massena at Zurich, and he afterwards fixed his abode at the Austrian Cabinet at Vienna. Pozzo di Porgo next entered into the service of Russia, as an avowed and public diplomatic agent. He was now matured by study and experience, and the expertness he displayed in his first essays for the interests of Russia, raised his name high in the political world, and opened to him the path of his future brilliant career. The Emperor of Russia con ferred on him the title of State Counsellor, and when a new coalition was forming against Bonaparte, who had crowned himself Emperor without obtaining the suffrages of the Foreign Cabinets, Pozzo di Borgo was despatched to Vienna spectslly to consolidate a closer alliance between his adopted Sovereign, and the other potentates who entertained similar views. The Ambassador, however, did not long re main in Germany, but only a few months elapsed, before he repaired to Italy to represent, as Commissioner of the Crown, his Royal master in the military operations which the com bined troops of Russia, England, and Naples, were to com mence in Southern Italy. Upon their separation, he returned to Vienna, and thence to St. Petersburgh, where fresh mili tary operations were in progress. Created at this period a Count, and attached to the person of the Emperor as Colonel de la Suite, the Diplomatic Colonel, after the battle of Jena, visited Vienna for the fourth time, ex pressly commissioned to arouse Austria from the lethargy into which she had fallen, since the peace of Presburg. Unsuc cessful here, Alexander ordered his subtle agent to Turkey, who, on the rupture of hostilities, with his ow n sword took part in the naval engagement which ensued between the Russians and Turks, and gained for his conduct the first military deco ration. The sanguinary battles between Russia and France being closed by the peace of Tilsit, the Colonel-Count saw clearly that the close intimacy growing up between Alexander and Napoleon would render his services unpleasant and perhaps dangerous at St. Petersburgh ; and although Alexander endea voured to retain him, he obtained a gracious discharge in 1808, and once more went to Vienna, where, during the year 1809, he employed his diplomatic skill energetically during the cam paign. He subsequently travelled through Syria, and after visiting Smyrna and Malta, sailed from the latter place to England, and reached its metropolis in October, 1810. The British Government welcomed the Count as a valuable acquisition. The Cabinet of St. James's well knew that from him it could learn more important facts in a few hours than through uncertain correspondence and information for as many months elsewhere. The Marquis of Wellesley had frequent interviews with Pozzo di Borgo, and the Count pointed out the vulnerah:e point in Napoleon's overgrown power. In 1812 the peace of Tilsit, had, as the Count had foretold, proved nearly a truce of arros, and the war between France and Russia broke out with that fury, which gave imperial Moscow to ruin. The Musco vite Monarch again sought his confederacy, and before quit ting London he successfully negotiated a renewed alliance with Britain, and after an interim of five eventful and stormy years, the Count again found himself before the Russian Emperor. The ice of the Beresina had by this time covered the legions of Bonaparte, but Alexander still saw in the crowned soldier, half-deified in the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Mars of the age. "My arms have not yet vanquished him ;" said he to Di Borgo, "by the will of the Almighty, by the power of Russia, or the spirit of our ancestors, has he been conquered. Let us remain satisfied with the victory vouchsafed. It is enough." But the wily statesman was moved by no such mer ciful sentiments. " The fallen Colossus," said he in answer, " must be wholly destroyed, or you, in your turn, incur the danger of annihilation from him, if he be allowed time to re cover confidence, and renovate his now paralyzed powers. Crush him in time." At this period the gaining over Bernadotte and his 20,000 soldiers was a high game entrusted to Di Borgo. To Stralsund he hastened, and at length succeeded in inducing the Crown Prince to commence open and active operations by accom panying him to the military Congress at Trachenberg. There met the three most inveterate enemies of Napoleon to " talk of precious mischief," and exult in their anticipated triumph over the unmeshed and disabled lion. Moreau hated in Na poleon the First Consul; Bernadotte the Emperor ; and Pozzo di Borgo the Corsican,- the Consul, and the Emperor, in the man At this rendezvous it was resolved to carry the war to the gates of the French capital, and to attack Napoleon in the very heart of both his power and his weakness. The favourable prospects of these diplomatists brightened. Napoleon falling had still one hope—that of winning the support of Austria. In a confidential interview with Metternich, that Minister promised to obtain for him the co-operation of Aus tria, under certain conditions, stipulating for his private in terests. Napoleon, unaccustomed to hear the language of demand front any lips except his own, exclaimed— " How truth does England give you to play this part ?" The offended Minister bowed in silence ; but not low enough to raise the small hat Napoleon had dropped in the beat of conversation. The Allied Monarchs were waiting with the utmost anxiety at Prague, the decision of the Austrian Court. It was eleven o'clock in the evening, and one mansion contained, in a lower apartment, Nesselrode, Pozzo di Borgo, and Hardenberg, whilst in a chamber above were the Sovereigns of Russia and Prussia, where the as sembled parties were surprised by the arrival of a special cou rier with the following laconic epistle to Nesselrode :—" Aus tria is resolved, and puts her hoops at the disposal of the Allied Powers." The satisfaction may be easily imagined. Pozzo di Borgo's prospects brightened as those of Napoleon decreased. He received a General's appointment, a rank he parti cularly coveteLl,as it enabled him to contribute to the downfal of his countrymen, as well in the field as in the Cabinet, and in his military capacity he joined Bernadotte, who with 90,000 men, Swedes, Russians, and Prussians, was then covering Berlin. But the setting-star of Napoleon's fortunes still shot forth a few brilliant scintillations. His defence of Dresden was rub acelous ; Moreau was repulsed and killed ; Bernadotte and Di Borgo precipitately retreated; the results of the battle- field of Leipic are well known, and Pozzo di Borgo, with the Crown Prince of Sweden, finally guar Trod at Frankfort. In the beginning of January, 1814, all Europe being then in its most violently agitated state, Pozzo di Borgo, was dis patched from the conferences at Frankfort, to bear a mission to England, to convince the Prince Regent of the just intentions of the Emperor Alexander, and farther to obtain the appoint ment of Lord Castlereagh, then Foreign Minister, to the head quarters of the allied Sovereigns, to join their councils His inveteracy against Napoleon broke out fiercely in his interviews with Castlereagh, who on one occasion intimated the expedi ency of restoring the Bourbons to the throne of France. 44 You know, my Lord," replied the Corsican, " that the Sovereigns I represent are unwilling to pledge them selves to distant views. Let us first determine on the removal of Napoleon. When we have effected his abdi cation, the cry of Bourbon' will do the rest." His mission prospered. At a dinner party given in honour of the agent of Russia, by Lord Castlereagh, his Lordship, on proposing the final toast, said to his guest, " Well, my dear Pozzo, all is settled; I accompany you, and am the bearer of an autograph letter from the Prince Regent to your Emperor. We shall act in concert." During the entire campaign of 1814 Pozzo di Borgo re mained in close attendance on the person of the Russian Em peror. His enmity to Napoleon created every chance towards his overthrow; overtures for peace proposed by the tottering idol of Chatillon, were refused by his advice: Caulincourt's pacific offers were frustrated by Di Borgo : the attempt by several military men of high rank to induce Alexander to treat with the Regency instead of the Government, and which the friendly feeling of Russia almost prompted him to agree to, would doubtless have been allowe4, had not Pozzo di Borgo been at hand, and represented to the irresolute Potentate, that " the Regency was in fact only another term for Napoleon, and that he whose heart sincerely desired the tranquillity of Europe, must insist on the total abrogation of the imperial power, and the removal of Na poleon." Two whole hours this conference lasted : Pozzo di Borgo only quitted the Emperor on an exacted promise that no negotiation should be entered into. No sooner had he ob tained that assurance than he hastened to the Provisional Ministers, and add re s s in g T a ll e y ra rid, cried in the fulness of his joy, " My dear Prince, not cnly have I slain Napoleon pohtical.y, but I have just threwn the last shovell ng of earth uver his imperial corpse." The Senate having proclaimed the abdication of Napoleon, and the recal of the Bourbons, Pozzo di Borgo was appointed by the Allied Sovereigns to acknowledge in their names, at London, the accession of the Prince of Artois to the Throne of the Louises. Pozzo di Borgo nevertheless still turned a doubtful and un quiet look towards Elba, and scanned in imagination every movement of the illustrious prisoner ; and in the Assembly vehemently pressed for his removal to some more remote and obscure corner of the globe. The unarmed, though captive, lion broke his cage of rushes. The announcement of his dis embarkation for France was met with amazement by every member of the Congress, except Di Borgo. His cool com ment on the fearful news was—" I know Napoleon—he will march on Paris. Our work is before us. Not a moment is to be lost. He must be faced by every attainable force, and the last fragments of his power and popularity buried in the dust of defeat." Waterloo was won, and Napoleon had quitted his last martial field. Was Pozzo di Borg° content ? By no means. Russia had not taken any part in the glorious and decisive action. The shrewd Corsican slept not. He selected a young Russian offi cer, serving in the Prussian army, and told him in confidence "‘ Alexander must be informed of this victory within eight-and forty hours ; no matter how many horses are killed in the time ; your future fortune may depend on it." Though wounded himself, he immediately followed Wellington to Paris, and resumed his portfolio, as Russian Ambassador at the Court of the Tuilleries. Talleyrand offered him not only the Mi nistry of the Interior, but obtained for him from Louis XVIII. the dignity of a peer of the realm. On the death of Alexander and the succession of Nicholas, Nesselrode remained at the head of the Cabinet, and Pozzo di Borgo continued Ambassador in Paris : he during this period managed the difficult matters between Russia and Constaditino ple, and the excited minds of France on the affair of the Polish tyrannies. After the conclusion of the Oriental war, he was commissioned to visit London, and ascertain the precise state of affairs at the Cabinet of St. James's, and in his first interviews with the Duke of Wellington recalled to memory, after an in terval of eighteen years, many interesting events and per sonalanecdotes. This last appointment to the embassy of Fngland was never theless accepted by Pozzo di Borgo with great reluctance. Debilitated by age and illness, he cherished the hope ofclosing his earthly career in Paris, a consummation which has just oc curred, and iii whose salons, during his last days, he passed the pleasant life of a talented and ennobled man. Pozzo di Borgn was in conversation cold and reserved : his Corsican accent in conversation added to the effects of his wit and satire, which, though not so easy or caustic as Talleyrand's, was more genuine and dignified. His mind, rather than a magazine of anecdotes, was a reservoir of annals, or rather the breathing history of his age. LLOYI:'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, FEB. 18.—Wind this day at noon S.W.

FOREIGN WooL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 18.—We are unable to note any improvement in the sales of foreign wool this week. Priees remain in statu quo. ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 18. —There has been little done in sales of wool this week ; the manufacturers still remaining indisposed to buy snore than they require for immediate use. Prices of low deep growing wools may be quoted a shade lower this week. WAKEFIELD WOOL MARKET, FEB. 18.—There continues to be even less doing in all descriptions of both long and short Wools, and prices have suffered a depression of from five to ten shillings per pack from our quotations of this day fortnight. TRADE OF LEEDS.—Since the Government plan for the settlement of the. Corn question has made its appearance, the state of our Cloth Market has become decidedly worse. In fact, every one connected with trade seems to be struck with astonish ment, that after so many months' consideration, in place of the Ministers bringing forward a measure such as would tend to give relief to the manufacturing interest, the plan they propose can in reality have no other effect than to render the Corn-law more stringent than before. Confidence in any speedy altera tion for the better is consequently lost, so that although this is the season when considerable purchases are usually made for the home demand for the spring, as well as for shipment, there has not been a fourth of the quantity disposed of this week as is usual at this season ; prices are, in consequence, unremune rative. In the warehouses business is correspondingly dull; the few buyers who have lately been in town have made their purchases with very great caution, and their operations have been very trifling, compared to what they usually are. BRADFORD MARKET,. THURSDAY. —We are sorry that we cannot announce the slightest improvement in the demand for pee goods. The merchants appear quite disposed to cease buy ing till they see what relief is to be afforded to the commercial world. Should this continue a few weeks, it will tend to de press the condition of the operatives still more, as the mann facturers are unwilling to produce goods except to order, of which we learn but few have been given out since last 1 hurs d,,y. Prices are steady. If there is any alteration in the yarn branch, it is for the worse. Short time is still adhered to, and thus preventing any accumulation of stocks. Prim firm. The demands for all kinds of wool is very limited, every one appearing desirous to use up as closely as possible, seeing no prospect of imp:oved prices being apparent.— Leeds Mercury. On Friday last, Thaaas Cordingley, of Wakefield, boat builder, was brought up at the Court-house, by Mr. Brierley, charged with forging a bill of exchange for 2051. 10s., bearing date the 22d of August, 1840, and purporting to be the acceptance of rime George 'Turner, of Wakefield, vessel owner, with intent to de fraud Mr. Abm, Wirnble, of Wortleysmoor, timber merchant. The nature of the evidence was conclusive against the prisoner, and he was committed to York Castle for trial at the approaching asidaes Yor* Courant.

MONEY MARKET knd CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.-1 he verdict of the jury delivered to-dal in the case of the Bank of England v. Tomkins has led 10 some surprise in the City am ong st th o se interested in the E . 7 chequer, Bill s a ff air ; b ut we are no t aware a t present that .I_l_7 , , jury cou ld h ave h a d muc h difficulty in finding for the p laintiff as we l earn th a t b ot h L or d Montcagle and Mr. Percival swore directly that the bills in question bore forgeries of their s i g ns ' tures, W e are surprised that the counsel for the defender should have permitted these functionaries to escape so easily . from the w it ness -b ox. If a parcel of the spurious bills La n been mixed with th e genuine, and they had been ealled up on to sleet the rea l from the fictitious, we doubt much if they could have complied with the request. But the claims of th e bona fide holders for compensation from Parliament distinct, and remain untouched by this verdict; and Lord Abinger, we understand, stated so distinctly on 4 1 1 ) : ming up, though the Government have eertainly° tained this advantage, that they . will come b ef ore s. Parliament with the verdict of a jury in their la_.. your in a civil process on the plea of forgery, even if the v.er . „ dict should be set aside on a new trial. The bona fide holder' have, therefore, more cogent reasons than ever for protestl against the apparent collusion by which Rapallo was s lia lt to escape, by which they were shut out from all the bene_. is total jr . which must have come out in their favour, either by the el e of mination of Rapallo as Queen's evidence in the ev ent o f Smith having pleaded not guilty, or from the testimony n other witnesses who must have bee n a dd uce d against its if he himself had been lsrought to trial. In e ither of elicited era cases the line of examination and discussion must have eh el the whole truth, and thus demonstrat e d th a t the public ere pillaged by the villany of a servant of the C ro wn, Whose crimes been facilitated by the want o f i n t erna l regulation au proper superviion. .ffsiost There is some suspicion entertained th a t this case t he Tomkins was concocted between the Government and Bank, in order to place the Executive i n a p os ition of 0tre, 13 14. - when the subject is brought under the no ti ce o f the Legiols` t , POST.—The case brought on in the Exchequer Court jut day by the Bank of England was decid e d in a manner de every reasonable person would have expected.

On the point of law, the summing up , ef i o f. Abinger is clear.

The defective manner in which the bull 04 of the Exchequer Bill-office was conducted, is the only. lop upon which indemnification can be p ra y e d. Th e justesr of the forgery is east to the winds; that is plainly a Stn ek ke tbe change affair, of which stock Exchange people must t o t p ot, consequences, and the lesson is o ne th a t w ill, we d° 2 " prove of advantage to tl-em.
