But I would leave Mr. Coßßeler and his breakfast powder, and say something ex clusively of your Recipe. 1 have tried it, and really find it to he, what you profess it to be, a very, wholesome 'triad, which Indy be used much effect, in tht se distressing tins -A, by those who are unable to ptocure the more solid food which an Eng lis halal) prefers to intim!. factared dishes ; but as thit , preparation, excellent es it is, would, withoot variety, soot) become less agreeable, it stray alit be amiss to inquire whether there is any other Soup equally cheap and nutri tive. Nothing tends so much .0 disarm poverty its, sting as the means of renderiug a scanty pittance capable of yielding a comfortable variety. The Fiettelt, who have earwig them note poor families than, any other country of Europe, with an equal population, manage their culinary matters so well that every woman who has two or three pence to spend for a dinner, places one or two good dishes before her family. This arises solely from whet is vulgarly called kitchen knowledge, and mit, as many suppose, from the difference in the price of provisions ; Inc a French woman, On skdled in cookery, would find if almost as diffi cult to provide a nourishing dinner for three pence, as a person with the same sm i te in this Country. I have tasted a Soup in France which is as cheap and es wholesome as any in Europe, and has the advantage of forming two good dishes. This Soup is made with haricots or French beans in the following very simple manner : A pennyworth of beasts is steeped in cold water on the preceding night, and out the following day, an hour or two hetore dinner, the beans are boiled in two or three quarts of water with an onion, a tew !raves of sorrel! and a lump of b u t ter, not larger than a walnut. Spices way be added or not according to the taste of the parties : when the Soup has acquired a fine flavour, it is set veil up with sliced bread, an:! the beans are pieced its a separate dish with a small piece of butler, and seasoned with s a lt f ind p epper . Ti;is fond is so agreeable that the Kitag himself fre quently partakes of it ; and it is so cheap atid nu tritive, that a family of five or six persons may dine heartily for three oe fourpence. I have known some persons in France live on this food regularly five days of the seven, - and enjoy great health and streng'h Arion t he di et ; and families of small income are enabled by this economy to maintain those outward appearances, for which the French arc so celebrated. It may be said, in , reply to this statement, that French beans are dear in England ; but I would observe that they are so, beca,:se their virtue, as a standard article of food, is to lii tie known that they are only par tielly,cultivated. There is nothing in the climate or 5 oil of this Country adverse to their growth, and it they were rtii“li tor the supply of the poor, they might be sold at as clieap a rate as potatoes, and prove equally, it not more vkdiudde to the Connounit y.

The resumption of the consideration, in the Cbarnber of Deputies, on Saturday, of, the Re port of the Committee of Petitions, respecting the Petitions against any alteration in the Elec tion Law, produced a long and stormy discussion. A decided opinion expressed by M. LAINE, that some change ought to be made in the Election Law, gave rise to considerable tumult. The Ba ron PAsaurEß also stated himself to be amongst the number of those who thought the 10;lection Law stood in need of modification ; and they both, as well as others on that side, obitcte i d to receiving the Petitions, on the ground before urged, of its being a want of respect to the Royal Initiative to propose that they should not discuss u proposition for modifying any law. On the contrary side, M. AIANDUL, 13UNJAMIN CONSTANT, aid others, ridiculed this argument, and warmly contended, that the right of Peti tion was essential to liberty, as offerin g the on ly means of estimating public opinion. Thts discus sion was at length closed, and the appel nominal called for when there appeared the closest divi sion that has yet, we believe, taken place in the Chamber upon any question of great public im portance, the numbers being, for agreeing with the Report of the Committee, by passing to,the Order of the Day, 117 ; against it, 112 ; I‘l4 . iorit only 5.

Se veral foreigners are here, wishing to proceed to Oermany, but who are prevented from continuing their journey." A series of New York Papers strived this morning, bnt not of so late a date as those which we received last week. The state of the I{EVENUR has been lately a fruitful source of dissention among the News papers, on both sides. We conceive that the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER would in a great de gree obviate the clamours of the Opposition Writers on this head, if he were not to suffer, official accounts to be given partially to any Public Journals, but to order them to be transmitted to the Morning Papers in general —lit fact, as the state of the Revenue is a subject of general in terest, no partial communications on that head should be suffered to appear. An impartial com munication would lessen that jealousy which is too common among the London Journalists of all parties, and it would be a test of that PUBLIC SPIRIT by which the Opposition Writers pro fess to be animated, as their own reputation would suffer if they were to decline the in sertion of snob Accounts of the State of the Revenue, as might give , pleasure to the Country. So open a communication too would slim that Government was really influenced by public spirit and above the narrow; impulse of favouritism, in a matter of general interest. It is evident that we are not actuated by any selfish jealousy on the occasion ourselves, as we recom mend the transmission of the accounts in question for insertion in the Morning Papers, as the Evening Papers would c o py them of c o urs e , and could not reasonably expect a preference on ' an occasion of universal interest to the Empire. Let the Wags of office ,:xercise all the wit and hu mour which they may luckily possess, in support o f favourite Journals, but they should not be per mitted to communicate partially facts so impor tant as those relating to the state of the Revenue. We have been. urged by several of our most re spectable Correspondents to express their sen timents on this subject, and we have chiefly embodied those sentiments upon the present oc casion. We conceive also, that it would be a wise as well as a liberal,policy in Government to give its advtrtisments to the Morning Papers in general, except to those obviously of a Radical cite raCter, and the consequence would infallibly, be a diminution of that asperity with which they at. tack Government and each other, and thereby ex cite disgust in their Readers, and bring contempt upon the Palk Press. If it be true, as is stated in a Morning Paper, that it is the intention of the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER to fund seven or eight millions of Exchequer Bills, and to prevail on the Bank to hold over the payment due to it for a time, so as to prevent the necessity of borrowing to meet any temporary want that may arise, it really argues-much wisdom and focesight in the Minister. He who gains time, gains a great point. Now, it seems generally admitted by those who have reasoned on the subject, that the savings Of the . Public, incln►ling th9se of corporate bodies as well as private individuals, are little short of 20 millions a-year over and above what is required for trade; but this sum can find no other source of invest ment than in the Funds; and every man of com mon capacity must know that the price of an ar ticle wholly depends cm supply and demand; there fore, if an annual saving of 20 millions, in addit►'n to the Sinking Fund, is applied to the purchase of Stock, witE►out any ncys , creation by loan, the demand must greatly exceed the supply, which will of course raise the Funds, and reduce the perma nent interest of money to four, or perhaps under that rate per cent. This will enable the Mini ster either to liquidate the 5 per cents. or to arrange with the Holders, so as to save the Coun try hy.one stroke of Finance upwards of Thirteen Hundred Thousand Pounds per annum interest,• tvhich is equal, reckoning at 4 per cent, to a Capital of Thirty-two Aldlions Five Hundred Thousand Fouuds. FOR VIE SUN. THE NEW NEWSPAPER ACTS. MR. EDITOR—Some of. your Contemporaries have begun to express a very needless alarm at the partial indulgence of the New Act to the Ra. dical part of the Press, and its unequal severity on the legitimate Pitblishers. I hasten to assure these loyal tremblers, whose apprehensions su far outrun their reason, that they may pluck up heart again i by a second perusal of the terrifying Clause. Its words are as follow : , " That no person shall print or publish " for sale any Newspaper, or any Pamphlet or other Paper, " containing any public news, intelligence, or occurrence,-o[ " any remarks or observations thereon, which shall not ex " ceed two sheets, or which shall be publishej for sale at •a " less price than sixpence, unless he or she 'shall have en " tered into a recognizance The British Press had yesterday more than a column of terror upon this Clause :—and argued, that because the di,junefive " OR" separates the two conditions of slate and price, therefore every Newspaper which is smaller than two sheets, must enter into recognizance, even though it shall be dearer than sixpence. The disjunctive, Sir, presen►s two conditions, not coupled, but sepal-toed ; either of which ex empts the publication. If its size shall not exceed two sheers, it is not liable to a recognizance, no matter what its price ; if its price shell not fall short of sixpence, it is not liable ; no matter what its size. But no human ingenuity, no human apprehension, can'strain the Statute into any lia bility of those publications,which ►while larger than two sheets, are cheaper than sixpence, "or," whilt smaller than two sheets are not ssoPd at a lower rate. Pray, then, Sir, ease the fears of your loyal Contemporary ; and beg him henceforth to spare the promulgation of his alarms. Thi British Prest has, of course, no other motive than pointing out those flaws which his ultra-anxious zeal in the cause of Religion and Social Order has discovered in the Statute; but its Editor should consider that his suggestous have a consequence which he is quite as far from desiring to aid, as was L or d Ens i . re io the House of Peers, when that Lem ned Nobleman exposed the loop-holes of the Act, and the facilities of its evasion. Not that I should much care, t hOtigh COBS err or WOOL ER, or any other Radical Scribbler should make an experiment of quibbling upon the new Statute. I should dearly like to see their convic.• tion ;—and I should be confident of seeing it.--- We have honest Judges—and honest Juries unit surely be found, who will close every loop-bole against a libeller as fast as k is opened for him. January 21. FLINT. I 'nen', silly be equally applied to respectable per sons, whose incomes are insufficient for their support, without rigid economy. It is no un common !Hog forfora little tradesman in London, with four or five children, to spend twenty weekly, for animal :food, and yet find that tospply inadeqoate. Half, or even a quarter of that snot, properly laid out, would tlo a much greater service. In France, Soup is a stane4-ing dish with nil classes, and by a judicious arrange ment, the same liquid is susceptible of an asto nishing variety. By adding a certain qoantisy of herbs they have &ape a In Julieune. the addition of Vermicelli, an article which ought to be as heap here as it is in France, they make a very solid and highly palatable food ; and there are cot less than 20 .s'otins, all different in flavour an l appearance, twined from the same basis. The meat from wlfich the Soup is made, is served up at every table, and by a simple process, of which al:uoit every Eor,lish Cook is ignorant, is tendered one of the most grateful dishes imaginable. Al though igoot ant uttheculinaryart myself,l will take the I, he, ty of giving the recipe for making Soup, as I hare seen it made in many families in France anti sl' It eland. 1 will not say that it is so cheap as to be wiiltin the reach of the poorest amongst us ; but it will certainly, if adopted by the muldliug tr.qlciman, afford his family an agreeable dish, and materially diminish his expenditure. 7 -Itonst a piece of beef of three pounds, f tr balt an boor at most, and when cold, put it laic, two gallons .at water in rill earthen pot, with a stAicient quan tity of onions, tin - nips, parNley, carrots, pat snips, and leeks, to give tile Sour) is fine flavour—it should be over a slow fire roux or five hours.
