IN THL'PALACk OF GOOD QUEEN' BESS. We now come to Illstorlcal Facts, therefore, as the Clown at Astley's would say, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, thcrcfore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Waiter Rale gh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's 'totting in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. It is an historical fat, that Good Queen Boss was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF TUE TOILETTIII is Introduced, in which file Royal Wig! the Royal Ruff! ! the Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! !! I will mate their first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN RESS e deshablle, as she is represe..ted is a picture at Hampton Court. —What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD QUEEN BESS in all her royal sple:Wour.-4t is an Historical Fact, that Good Qteen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she scarcely knew apex wh cli to decLle"—and it is an Historical Fact that the follow:ng were a few of them. THE REJECTED ONES: Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of AnJoa, Prince Alsnqon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden, Henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous proper men" at Kenilworth, but declares, that on her way, " A hunting she will go" —and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to CUMNOR HALL BY 3100NLICI4T—Wilsen.

Wh .t is Protection ?At is the literal meacing of that much-used and much abused word? "To protect," says the dictionary, is " to defend, to stave, to shield." But this definition is far from solving the difficulty, for then comes the question as to how the said defence, salvation, or shield is to be obtained There are two protective systems, it would appear, the one diametrically opposed to the other in practice, and yet, if w e believe the advocates of each, both identical in principle. In such a case what can dis psasionate inquiries do but fairly compare the contra dictory arguments. The decision is embarrassing, for never did doctors disagree as these doctors. Does a cautious man wish to " protect" his health during this inclement season, the one party (Protec tionists par excellence) solemnly assure him that the one, only, infallible means for so doing is to avoid the rough touch of the frosty air, and remain in warm coverings and close rooms, in a continual state of siege, surel,, " protected" and safe from harm. At this the op. posing party indignantly exclaim that by so doing instead of protecting, he will weaken bis frame, and inevitably fall a victim at the first real trial. On the contrary, say they, the true protective sys tern is from within, not from without. So far from avoiding danger, learn to overcome it! Freely encounter the rough blasts of winter, instead of harming you they will strengthen and develope your physical energies. Does a timid Sovereign wish to protect himself from the assassin's daggt r, similarly opposite courses are pointed out to him ; the one side recommending the defence of strong walls and armed guards, and continual seclusion ; and the other advising a frank reliance on popular love, accompanied, of course, with such a system of government as to render such a reliance a sure safeguard. Does a parent wish to train up his children in virtue, again two systems of protection are suggested to him. He is counselled to guard them sedulously from every companion, from every book, from every whisper even likely to familiarise them with the wickedness of the world, and on the other hand he hears that such a course will render them easy victims to temp tation. Do your best to develop your children's moral strength, say these latter counsellors ; make tl.ein virtmius—that is the true protection against vice. And so on, in innumerable instances. Now which of these protective systems is the more con sonant to the dictates of reason ? Which is best corroborated by the teaching of experience ? Is pro tection from without or from within ? This is the difficult question—if it he a difficult question- which we commend to the attention of all would. be protectionists—a term which, in this instance, we do not confine to the party who conventionally mono. police it. In our opinion, inclining, as we do, to the belief that protection . is from within, not from with out, wo are disposed to regard as the true protectors of British industry, not monopolists, but free-traders. As an evidence of this assertion we may cite the admirable letter of a great free•trader, which will be found in another column. Sir ROBERT PEEL was once regarded on mistaken premises as " the farmer's friend," but when, we ask (and the question admits of no reply), when did Sir Itt,nurr, the " Protectionist," ever express senti ments so well caleu!ated to promote the true interests of the agriculturist as those contained in the letter of Sir licrnwr PEEL, the free-trader, to the tenant- Farmers un estate ? Although addressed to Ids own tenants individually, the document is interesting and important to the public generally. In the firstplsce, it holds forth most encouraging empectations to that gnat multitude who are so nearly- interested in the question of cheap food ; and, secondly, it affords an . _ example worthy of imitation on the part of landlords generally. Sir ROBERT dues ❑ot say to his tenants— _ .. Go, make your land more productive ;" but he cheerfully exc - Isitns, " Come, let us co-operate fcr our mutual benefit ! `• I am prepared without delay to co-operate with you in preparing to meet, not foreign competition only but that competition with domestic skill and which will be at least as formidable to those farmers who are insensible to the rapid progress of sgricultural improvement, and neglect to keep pace with it. 'I have not the presumption to off,r you advice as to the practical manr-g,ment of your farms—but I may try to impress upon you this truth, that if there be ally of you who pr,:duce,- en the average, not more than eighteen or ti.enty bushels of wheat per acre, and if there be other farmers who, in not more favoured posi • lions and on land of equal quality, produce forty—and if they produce this, not by expensive farming, but by wise economy—by the command of adequate capital — by the application of scientific skill—by the liberal em ployment of labour—by the saving ot every particle of manure, end the restoration to the earth of those ele ments of fertility which are withdrawn with every crop —I mly, I say, without presumption, try to impress upon you this truth, that there is no amount of pro•• tection from foreign produce, no abatement of rent, which would enable you to meet the competition ot your own countrymen." Not from without but from within, not from an arbitrary enwtment productive only of temporary quirseence, but from "a clear stage and no favour," comes the true protection of indu3try. All legislative interference here only encumbers, while it seems to defend. Viewing it solely as a question of protection to Witish industry—(a fine sounding sentence so dear to the "farmers' friend, l")—we say again, that tl.e free trader's is the true protective system, tending, as it does, to develope and invigorate our agricultur a l resources, whereas the fruits of monopoly are artificial but trost evanescent trosperity, and rapid and inevitable ruin. But, important as are our agricultural interests, the question of Free- trade 21C1'.U.1 Monopoly has a yet more momentous import. The price of food vitally concerns not one class but ail classes of the community. The great. destroyer of the corn laws, he who by that deed has earned (as he desired) a continual and grateful remembrance "in the abodes of those whose lot it is to labour"—Sir ROBERT PEEL, in his recent letter, thus alludes to the beneficial effects of the abrogation of the (so-called) protective duties : " There can, I think, be no question that the effect of the.recent changes of the law in respect to the free im port of the main articles of subsistence, %Di be to main 'sin a range of low prices in average seasons, and to prevent very high prices in seasons ut dear:h. In other words, their ( ffect will be to ensure, so far as legislation can ensui o it, cheapness and abundauce of food as the ordinary rule—to diminish tLe ri,l: of scarcity—and to mitigate the suffering from it should it unfortunately occur. It is became I believe that this will bo the effect of the changes to which I have referred that I look upon , h,na as irrevccAble, and that I advi-e you to dismiss altogether from your calculations the prospect of renewed prote'ctio►n." Thus, in a double capacity—as the manifesto of a landlord and as the declaration of a free-trader—the letter of Sir ROBERT PEEL to his tenants is emi nently satisfactory. The true interests of landlord and tenant are identical, and high rents purchased by unnatural " protection" are, in the long run, ruinous to both, whereas mutual co-operation to develope all the available resources of the land, after the plan adopted by the landlord of Drayton and other true farmers' friends, is only productive of mutual good, to say nothing of the public benefits accruing from such a plan —a plan founded on common sense and 0 , mmon justice. The communication horn Mr. Muzrz, which appeared in our impression of Monday, was doubtless received by many persons who have long respected 'be Hon. Gentleman as an independent, honest, and unflinching free-trader and reformer of our monetary code, with pleasure equal to that with which we gave it insertion. We never for a moment supposed that the Member for Birmingham had seen reason to alter the liberal and enlightened views that had recom mended him so strongly to the suffrages of the constitu ency of the metropolis of the midland counties, that he should abandon his uncompromising hostility to the iniquitous monetary cede that has produced the most fearful distress and suffering among the industrious classes, and brought the country to the verge of ruin; nor did we imagine that he would lend his assistance to the re-imposition of the corn-laws, or desire to increase the price of food to those who earn their daily bread by their daily labour. We gave him full credit for the integrity of his intentions, and telt the most perfect confidence that there would be no tergiversation on his part. His speech, however, at the annual meeting of the Birmingham era Midland Counties Agricultural Association might easily have been misconstrued by i superficial reader. He declared himself to he "an advocate for that protection Hilt would protect all classes Equally, fairly, justly, and honestly; that would equally protect the manufacturer and the agriculturist." He did not, however, as we have a!ready stated, explain the nature of th it general protection that would benefit all, t xcept the "idle money interest, the few " frvges consurnere nati," to whom the labour of the great body of the people is mortgaged—that would stimulate production and provide ample employment for all who were able and willing to work. He did not denounce our system of currency as the real fountain and origin of all the evils we have encountered, under which merchants end manufacturers, as well as agriculturists, have suffered so deeply and so severely. His sentiments might, therefore, easily have been tnistalten, more especially as many of those who enlightened the farmers at the various bucolic gather ings throughout the country declared themselves friendly to " protection to every description of British industry," although it was manifest that the only protection they really desired was a tax on food, which would enormously enhance the prices of the necessaries of lire. The reactionaries might, there• fore, possibly have claimed the Hon. Gentleman as a convert to their doctrines were it not for the ex planation elicited by our notice. Again, it might have been imagined that Mr. Muerte advocated the imposition of a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn, that he considered it an unob jectionable mode of raising the taxation. This erro neous impression will, however, be removed by his letter. He says, "I see that you object to raise revenue upon the importation of corn, and so do I.' Nothing can be more explicit or satisfactory than this declaration. 'The Hon Gentleman, however, goes further. He says, " But so long as you raise revenue upon the importation of manufactures, there is no valid or reasonable objection why you should not do so on corn also." Now on this point we differ toto catlo from the Honourable Gentleman. We could easily show, if desirable, that heavy and we grant unjustifiable taxes on articles of luxury, or even of comfort, are by no means so injurious to the great body of people as duties upon articles of primary ne cessity. But it is useless to enter upon the discussion, for as Mr. Meeerz agrees with us in thinking that every species of indirect taxation should be abolished, it ft.dlows that improper taxes should not be levied for the purpose of creating an equilibrium, and thus, perhaps, perpetuate the obnoxious and objectionable system. The exertions of every true reformer, and we believe Mr. Moe= to to worthy of the came, should rather be directed to the removal of the impolitic and inequitable taxes than ,he imposition of others fully as injurious, if not more so. We must also dissent from the opinion of the Hon. Gentleman, that "the price would not be as much higher as a /ow duty." Let us suppose, exempli gratia, that a fixed duty of six shillings per quarter ' were imposed on foreign corn, in place of the present rate of one drilling ; the result would be an immediate rise in the price of corn of 53. per quarter, and perhaps something more. At present, taking the cost price of production, and the expenses of freight, carriage, hrokerap, storage, and other charges to which the foreign grower is liable, the commodity can be brought into the market in round terms at say 403. per quarter, and that would to a • certain extent regulate the vrice of the home-grown article of a similar quality. If, however, the additional duty prevented the foreigner from sending his in•o the market at a lower price than 453 , the English farmer vv; ul,l demand and receive the rime rate for Iris preduce. Indeed, if such were not the case, he would derive but little benefit from the change. There is, however, but little use in disputing about minor details with one with whom we so full,,' coincide on ail the points of rPal importance. The conlessilift of political faith with which Mr. MuNTz closes his communication we heartily and unequivocally ta lopt as our own, and we should indeed rejoice if it w ere fully and fairly brought before the nation on eve, ry possible opportunity. We quote his own words:— "I should prefer that all import ditties should 'be t*4 FRIDAY EVENING, alxilish(d, and the whole revenue be colL•cted by a tax on property. As to protection, which I 3rn confidcrt our heavil} -taxtd industry r quires sgainst the lightly taxed indu,try of the rest of the w,rll, that con only 120 jus ly otr.a,inel by su_b an equitlble, alteration of our morvtary system as will protect our industrious chisses czaiust our idle elabses have a11,5)3 hen of (pinion that manufacturers and a;lriculturists have an (qud right to Jive, and those of eitherclssi who think to Jive long upon the other will find themselves egregiously mistaken." These are, indeed, o t inions which we hare long and zealously advocated on fiscal and monetary affairs. We rejoice to find Mr. MUNTZ expressing his adhe sion thereto in a manner so unequivocal and straight forward. We cannot conclude our notice without assuring the Hon. Gentleman that, notwithstanding any minor differences, we entertain the most sincere esteem and respect for his character and abilities, and earnestly hope that he may long ba spared health and strength to labour for the beoefit of his fellow subjects, as the chos.n representative of his native town. VilE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. There was a grand military parade in Paris on Wednesday. The whole of the garrison, with cannon, &c., marched through the principal thoroughfares of the city. There were upwards of 40,000 men under arms. The Papal Nuncio bad a long interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic on Wednesday. It is said that the parti pretre and Legitimatists have determined to oppose the Ministerial measure on education, and to insist on the passing of the Bill brought in by M. DE FALLOUX for giving to the priests the exclusive control and superintendence of all educational establishments throughout France, a plan which its proposers facetiously designate as Liberty of Instruction." MM. FAUCHER, PISCA- Tour, and several other members of the majority sup port the . Ministry ; and there is, therefore, reason to hope that the apologists of th e I nqu i s iti on an d t h e i r leader, M. DE MONTALEMBERT, may find themselves in a minority. A comide - rable sensation was produced in Paris on Wednesday by the announcement that a discovery -had been made of gross frauds, which had for a series of years been committed in the administrations of the hospitals of Paris. The officials of the Paris hospitals are all appointed by the Government, and those alleged to have been guilty of the frauds were, the greater portion of them, nominated to office by the .GUIZOT DUCHATRL-TESTS Ministry. Letters of the 20th from Algiers, announce the arrival there of Mr. JAMES RICHARDSON, the African .travel:er. The Itioniteur publishes a decree signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing Jul es d e ,Lastey rie, P res id en t, an d MM. Lauvet, Etienne, Buulatiguier, Masson, De Gourheret, Matin, Thomas, and Esquirol, members of a Commission to examine the Ministerial accounts for the year 1849. The same racial journal announces that the directors of the Bank of France have declared a dividend on Bank Stock of 52f. per share for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1849. A grand dinner was given by the Minister of Marine on Wednesday, at which the PansIDENT of the Republic was present. A letter from Marseilles of the 231 instant an nounces the arrival in that city of M. DE CORCELLES from Portici. Tha Bourse was crowded yesterday, and business commenced with every appearance of a rise in the price of public securities. Towards three o'clock, ho?vever, a reaction took place, and the Five per Cents , which opened at 921. 40c. and rose to 92f. 65c , fell to 921. 35c., at which they ch.)! ed.

The Clamor Publico says that a royal order has been transm►tted to the directors of the Treasury, by which it appears that a new contract has been made with the firms of BARING and ROTUSCHILD of 12,000 quintals of quicksilver belonging to the products of the forthcoming year 1850. According to the tti pulatiuns of the contract the Government will deliver to each of these houses an order on the Government official at Seville, who is employed in packing up the quicksilver in the iron phials. The individual will deliver into the hands of the porters of these orders the 12 ; 000 quintals of mercury, in iron flisks of three arrobas weight each. Each house is to receive equal quantities, and the quicksilver is to be given as fast as it is received from the mines, the Government en- gaging to give in the whole by the end of June. In exchange for these Government orders, and with re ference to other payments in advance by the tame firms, the contractors will pay the sum of fifty thou sand pounds sterling in letters of exchange upon London, to be applied to the payment of the interest of the Tame per Cents. These sums will be reckoned in the account of payments in advance in January, 1850 (payments for quicksilver by the Treasury), at a discount of 6, per cent. and 1 per cent. commission a It is 'said that NARVAEZ has been negotiating with OLOZAGA for the forMation of a Progressista Ministry, of which NARVAEZ is to be the head. Since the discovery of the Fulgenciu intrio ° ue, NARVAEZ has felt that he cannot trust eith er CHRISTINA or the parti pretre. GONALES BRAVO and Mom are now the constant associates of CHRISTINA, and are busily engaged in intriguing against NARVAEZ. On the 19th General PAVIA, who is acting with MON and GONZALUS Banvo, gave notice in the Senate that he should move a resolution to the effect that the forma tion of the army of reserve was inexpedient, dan gerous, and expensive—a notice which has hignly incensed NARVAEZ, Ri it is in fact a vote of censure on his conduct as Minister-at- War. They write from Barcelona that the magnificent regiment of Grenadiers at Corunna, and which has not yet been embarked, is in Italy in a very sickly state, owing to having encamped in unwholesome localities. PORT UGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 21st. There had been no change in the Ministry up to that date, although it was thought that the TnoMAE Ministry would not be able to stand, notwithstanding the support given them by the QuEEN, vlho is the most deolthd Cabalista In the country. On the 11th instant a petition, praying the QUEEN to dismiss Cohnt Tuoman, from her councit,, and bearing the signatures of the Marquis of LOULE, Counts DAS A NTAS, DE MELT,O, and VILLA REAL, and Messrs. BRANCAMP and SAMP.4IO, was presented to Her MAJESTY. The petition dwells at great length on the corruption of which TUOMAR is alleged to hare Leen guilty, in selling an order of knighthood for a splendid carriage and horses. No answer has been returned ; and as the petitioners are all of the Opposition, perhaps the prayer of the petition would not have been regarded as of much consequence, had not the Duke of SALDANRA come forward to back them, and to recommend the immediate dis missal of THOMAIt, and the appointment of PALMELLA to the Premiership. TMOMAR his in the meanwhile created nine new peers, in order to secure a majority in the Senate. A disagreeable affair has occurred in Lisbon, in which justice has been refused to a British subject at the instigation of the Count DE THOMAR. Lord PALMERSTON has, it is said, already interfered, and is determined to obtain redress for Mr. CROFTS, the gentleman alluded to in the following narrative, which we extract from the columns of a morning Con temporary : In the year 181.34 Mr. C., an English gentleman resident here, married a Portuguese lady, the only child of Baron 8., a man -of immense wealth for Portugal, being worth upwards of 150,0001. The Baron verbally proMised to give his daughter a por tion of 20,0001., but a disagreement having occurred some time after the marriage between him and his son in law, he refused to fulfil his promise. Thence arose a suit, the result of which was that the lady was declared to be entitled to the promised portion, on condition that if it should exceed that share of her father's property to which she would be law fully entitled at his death, she should register or manifest such excess in the manner prescribed by law in-such cases. As Mrs. C. was at the time the only child and sole heiress of the Baron, and her marriage portion instead of exceeding, fell far short of her expected inheritance, the requirement of the law did no t apply to her case, a..d no such manifestation could, therefore, be made. Some time after, however, the old gentlemen married a y oung wife, upon which !Ts. C., judging that the proper moment lied arrived for complying with the required formality, came forward to do so, but the Court to which she applied for the purpose decided that it could not be clone until after the death of her father, as, con tidering that his wif e was y oung and likely to have a family of children, it was only then that it could be known what her share of the inheritance would be. This deei , ion was confirmed by a superior collrt., and finally approved by the Supreme Tribunal of Justice. In 1847 the Baron died, leaving twe children, and Mrs. C. then again came forward to make the required registration, but was stopped at once by an objection set up on the part of her stepmother, on the ground that it was too late, and; that the required condition not having been performed during the lifetime of her father,l DECEMBER 28, 1849 her right to the marriage porion was thereby for:eited. Rccoutse having vg,Ain been made to the courts of law, and these having again pronounced judgmcnt in favour of M. C., the widow appealed, in last resort, to the Council of Sate, or rather to its adminiArativestction, ctlnposed of live tnemb , rs, by where, owing to secret irfluences and consideratiors, which I have reason.to believe Mr. C. will soon make known to the world, the judgments of all the tribu na!s were reversed, and it was decided that the regis tration could not be made without first summoning to appear in court the Baron de 8., who has ken in his grave upwards of two years ! GERMAN Y AND TH E NORTHE RN STATE S. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Intelligence has been received from Vienna to the 22 , 1. The news from Servid was of such a serions character that WELDEN bad prohibited the journals from publishing it, or from making anyallusion to it. The suspended journal, the Presse , is about to ra anp:ar at Brunn, w hi c h i s out of the rayon of Vit nna, but WELDEN, in the Wiener Zeitung of the 20th, publishes a proclunation, reminding the inl - a bitants of Vienna in general and the subscribers to the Presse in particular, that Vienna is still in a state biege, and that all subscribers in Vienna to the ob noxious journal will subject themselves to trial by court-martial. The unparlonable offence of the Presse was its praise of Lord PALMERSTON. The Government of Austria is now completely in the hands of the Jesuit Camarilla. All the telegra phic wires terminate in a central room in the Palace, so that all intelligence is rt.ceived in the first place by the Camarilla, and " cooked" before being forwarded to the Ministers, who are thus reduced to the position of mere cyphers. The Hungarian Bishop LONOVIC3 has been libe rated from his prison at Pesth. NYARY is still in confinement. The March constitution was to be pro claimed on the morning of the 26th in the Town- hall. The high district commissioner at Presburg, Count CZIRAKT, has resigned his plaCe. Twenty-one sentences by the Arad court-martial were published on the sth.

Glorious John Leech—the " bottle imp" of Punch— has just issued his Christmas volume, magnificently embellished. But that we remember the adventures of the immortal " Briggs," we should certainly pro claim " Young Troublesome " to be the artist's mas terpiece. Let all who enjoy a good laugh, or love fun and drollery, obtain this illustrated narrative of ". Mister Jacky's Holidays"—it will prove as provo cative of merriment as the berries of the mistletoe, when put to their right use, and will shed a gleam of fascetiousness arcund, as odd and fantastic as that cast by a bowl of snap-dragon. The characters of the story, told litre with such a felicitous pencil, and painted in such brilliant colours, are no mere automate, but living and breathing existences—people that we all know intimately, not as mere bowing acquaintances on the Mall, but as friends and familiars- Here you have Master Jacky, " supposed to have arrived per railway (grown out of all knowledge)," Rugg'es, the domestic, grinning his welcome on the door-step. Here you have Young Hopeful teaching Jane and Cary to fence, the two wee little morsels of girls drawn as only John Leech can draw little children. Here you have Jacky " celebrating his arrival (to the disturbance of Mr. Phenols) with various athletic exercises"—the father's irsitatioa and the little scapegraces' romp appearing in admirable contrsst. Here you have Young Troublesome " on a wet day bored to death"— witness him balancing the chimney ornament on the end of the poker at the tip of his nose ; see him, surrounded by a voluminous library, protesting "he has read all the books in the house ;" observe him lounging in disgust and ennui on the sofa, or worry ing his elder sst-rs so entirely beyond endurance that cne is ceremoniously conveying her needlework, scissors and all, to another part of the room in high dudgeon; • Here-ybu have him "in pursuance of a bright thought playing at cricket in the drawing room"—the cricket hall, to the dismay of the little ones; and the horror of Ruggles, smashing a co s tly vase of alabaster, the little boy in the foreground being an inimitable conception. Here you have the arrival and progress cf the " Theatre Royal Drury-lane in miniature; up to the grand evening rehearsal of the Miller and his Men, and the terrific explosion in the Housekeeper's Room "—the old lady in the door way being a superb sketch of senile amazement. Mr. Plicenix delivering a kcture to Young Troublesome, with his mother gazing down upon him with a half-serious, half-amused expression of countenance, form a capital picture; but not half so capital as that in which is pourtrayed the arrival of that dear, lit tle, old, crabbed, frost-bitten Mr. Worm • wood Scrubbs, delightfully unconscious of the paper pigtail appended to the collar of his spencer by that mischievous varlet, Master Jacky. Here you have old Bradshaw" come to stop a week—no mere fancy portrait, but a veritable daguerreotype from the crown of his head to the soles of his cl:trence shoes. Here Mr. Phoenix, indignantly sniffing on the door mat of his bedchamber, in exquisite dishabille, hopes " that Bradshaw isn't teaching him to smoke," whereas, in the next group, you have a representa tion of " old Bradshaw" under the influence of tobacco in a state of ashy, dreamy, dizzy, sickly stupefaction. Here you have Mr. Maudlin Grooves, M A., plump and sentimental, wishing ybung Jacky at Jericho in his hopeless anxiety for a tete a-tete with the object of his affections. Here you have a grand tableau of Jacky bolstering "old Bradshaw" over the head of Mr. Wormwood Scrubbs, who has evidently tugged down the bellpull in his indignation at the hubbub. Here you have Young Troul,lesome endeavouring to entertain himself, while his honoured parents give a dinner party and I.e is waiting for dessert, bunnetting Ruggles with a silver dish- cover, and subsfquently embellishing the legs of that domestic with a burnt stick—Ruggles soon afterwards adjourning to the kitchen, and there re lating to his fellow• servants what that " ere boy has bin and done." Here you have him privileged to leave the dining room with the ladies, dancing the schottische with a beautiful gill, whom he subse quently kisses under the mistletoe, shamefully "taking an undue advantage of his delightful position." At " the end," which we are rej :iced to see is only " for the present," you have him " presiding over a j uvenile party at the clo e of the holidays, and hoping to meet the present company again in good health and spirits, this time twelvemonth"—an aspiration which elicits amazing cheers from Mr. Wormwood Scrubbs. Saving and excepting, of course, the hero, Young Troublesome, this Mr. Wormwood Scrubbs and that capital "old Bradshaw," are the happiest creations in the volume—a volume drawn to the very life by the master hand of John Leech, the Democritus of the pencil. MANNERS AND C'VSTOMS OF YE ENGLYSHE, Drawn from ye.g.vichby Rychard Doy:s. To which be added some extracts from Mr- PIPS HYS DIARY, contryivted by Per cival Leigh. A reprint of one of the most felicitous and most. humorous serials ever published in the pages of the London Charivari cannot fail to be r'ght welcome to the lovers of fun in these merry days of Christmas. Hence the present volume, extracted from the seventeenth volume of Punch, will EQ hailed wi:h general satisfaction. The success cf Mr. Percival Leigh's parody on the "Diary of Samuel Pepys" has already elicited the commendation of the Quarterly Review, and the fantastic gvbilp of the son of 11. B. the. inimitable Richard Doyle, i univerAally appr(c ated throughout the country. Purb,:ps the drollest thing to our thinking that has yet emanated from his ec centric brain, a sketch worthy of th e h an d t h at h as pourtrayed "Ye Manners and Cvstoms of ye Eng lyshe," is the little tail-piece to the volume of Punch just completed, representing the letters EIND OF von. 17 as 'furnished with the legs of horses, and gallopping in 1111 career under the direction of Mr. Punch him self, wh , , handles the ribbons with the science of a first-.rate whip. We are sanguine that tl:e present volume, besides affording del•ght to the present age, will be turned to with curiosity by re m .t e genera tions, as affording glimpses into th,! manners and customs of our contemporaries.

The elaborate report diasfl up by the Government Camnissioners who con , di'c'ed the special survey has, unfortunate ly, like most. Blue Booki, atirseted very little attention in England. In the co!oeics it is far otherwise, but the ability to early out any great undertaking requiring a large out lay dots not exist there. The aid of the mother c6tntry is indispensable, if only to inspire confi• deuce, and the most desirable medium of afford ' ing this is by the enierprise of capitalists, secured to some extent by Government. We are told that in the country lying between the Restigoache River and Ilalifax, the inhabitants, who will be near to the Quebec and Halifax Railroad, will amount to about 100,000 ; enticing the population either upon or near to the line, including the two termini, 250,000 persons. But if the t population be taken within the area which will be benefited by and become contributors to the line, then it may be estimaled at not less than 400,000 souls. In a report of the directors made upon the New York and Erie Railroad, in 1843, when the question of proceeding with that lino was under consideration; one of the data upon which its future receipts was calcu lated d.iiived from population and relative distance, and using the data obtained from the working of one portion which had been completed and was in operation, it was calculated tbat1,531,000 persons, on a line of 425 miles in length, would return, in net earning?, to the railway, 1,343,500 dollars, or 2f dollars nearly per head, equivalent to 10e. sterling. As the railroad is not yet completed, the true re su lt cannot yet be seen, but applying the, same ratio (of 10s. per head) to the 400,000 inhabitants eho are within the area, and likely to be come tributaries to the Quebec and Halifax Railway, it would give 200,0001. as its probable revenue. The great staple of trade of New Brunswick is its timber. For this all-absorbing pursuit the inhabitants neglect agriculture, and instead of raising their own supplies, they import provisions in large quantities from Canada and the United States. In the year 1846, New Brunswick paid to the latter, for provisions alone, 216,0001. sterling, whilst in return the United States only took from them 11,0001. in coals and fish. Of Nova Scotia the great staples are timber and the products of the fisherh s. The inhabitants import pro visiens largely. Canada is an exporting country, and capable of supplying the demands of both. In the win ter of 1847-8, the pric e of fl our a t H a lif ax an d S t. John was at 40s. the barrel, and it was being imported from the chief ports in the United Sates, even from as far as New Orleans, in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, at Quebec, the price of flour was only 25z. per barrel, a very great difference, which, bad the railroad been in existence would not have occurred. Another great source of revenue likely to be developed by the railway is that of coals, to be derived from the Great Cumberland Field. Quebec and the upper country would, no doubt, take large quantities for their own consumption. Halifax the same for itself, and also for exportation to the United States. Considerable returns would arise from the fisheries and from the products of the forest lying contiguous to the line, which would find thieir way by it to the shipping ports. The country through which the road will pass pessessee, theretene, in iistlf, elements which, when fully deve loped, cannot fail to real:ft , ' large receipts. But there are, exclusive of these, other and highly important sources for productive revenue. Halifax may be consi dered to be the nearest great seaport to Europe. Pasco; gers travelling between England and the Cauadas would adopt this railway as the shortest and bestline which they could take; emigrants would do the same. Tie grand desideratum is political tranquillity and the co-operation of the Colonial Legislature. Letters both from leadrid and Ba , celona announce that the new tariff was giving a great impulse to busi ness, and that the Customs departments had not been so active for years. This, considering the tardiness with which the reforms were undertaken, is certainly very gra , ifying. In the Amsterdam Bourse on Wednesday there was no particular change.
