L. lIYAIII and Co., 86, Oxford-street, although well known to the public, and enjoying an unprecedented share of their confidence, do not think it would be judicious to devil from their usual system, i opening a new E.tablishment, of pointing out and explaining* their eapubilities and mode of conducting their business, and likewise the advantages to be derived by those who honoir them with their commands. - L. 111 AM and Co., Bi, Oxford-street, have half a century's experience in business, with unlimited command of capital, and a rave of the most extensive establishments in all the principal towns of Great Britian in successful operation, thus presenting advantages of an extraordinary character such as never before were centered in one firm. L. HYAM and Co., B', Oxford-street, save all intermediate profits ; that which they do not manufacture themselves they obtain direct from the first makers. By purchasing in this efficient manner, they effect a saving " in Intermediates alone," of at least 20 per cent. _ _ L. L HYAM and Co., B G, Oxford-street, have procured for the bespoke deportment an extensive and choice stock of Parisian and West of England cloths, of every shade, colour, and quality. The new materials for trowserings comprise plain and fancy doeskins, buckskins, and kerseymeres, suitable either for dress, riding, or walking. They are superb in texture, beautiful in colour, and of the choicest l'esign. L. IIYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, have selected from the best and most celebrated makers, French, Genoa. and British waistcoat legs, which are remarkably rich, brilliantly varied, of the most unique and novel styles ; in fact, the Pantechnetheca will comprise within itself materials for making gentlemen's attire of every &scrip tion in the first style of art, and unparalleled in the annals of fashion and economy. L. HYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, in orde to render the Cutting Department as effective as possible, have engaged cutters of the greatest talents, experience, and acknowlegedabilities ; and so satis fied are they of their qualifications and certainly of pleasing, that they give a guarantee to that effect, and, in order to test it, their patrons have at all times the option of returning any garment which may in any manner be disapproved of, though previously seen, approved, chosen, and paid for. L. HYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-street, have elaboraiely fitted up the departments of elothing for immediate wear with every requisite, both useful and ornamental. Hera may be selected, from a stock exceeding 20,0001. in value, every description of apparel that talent and ingenuity can devise or invent, consisting of dress and surtout coats, waistcoats, trowsers, f juvenile and servants' clothing, &c., at prices that cannot fail to give the most perfect sa tisfaction. • L. HYAM and Co., 86, Oxford-erect, mark every article in plain, bold, and legible figures, the very lowest selling price, from which no abatement can be made ; consequently insuring a uni form. undeviating, honest principle of business ; and any garment that does not give the most unqualified approbation will be ex exchanged with pleasure, or if preferred, the money will be immedi ately returned.

ALLEGED INJURY to ONE of the VERNON PICTURES. A statement (sent by a correspondent) having appeared in several journaP to the effect that serious injury has been sustained by one of the pictures in the Vernon Gallery, in consequence of the culpable negligence of an engraver employed in copying it for the Art- Journal, The public are requested to see and examine itfor themselves; and, Wit be possible to co so, to discover where and what injury it has sustained. The picture Is No. 29 in the catalogue—the work of Mr. Solomon Hay, It.A. The right to engrave this collection was presented to the Editor of the Art-Jou.nal by the late Robert Vernon, Esq., prior to his " proffer" of it to the nation—a right graciously sanctioned and con firmed by the Trustees of the National Gallery on accepting the gilt. For upwards of two years above twenty artists and engravers have been continually occupied in copying and engraving these pictures for publication in the Art-Journal ; and until this alleged injury, no ompl , int of a.iy kind has arisen : a fact which sufficiently proves the care and attention manifested by the officers in charge of the gal lery, who are broadly accused of neglect in the paragraph In question.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT. No doubt the reader would esteem it strange, If Moses' Muse forgot the Coal Exchange ; And, therefore, as the Queen's to come, I'll greet her, By writing on the coals a little metre. My burning loyalty I cannot smother, Nor yet exchange this subject for another. The Queen, no doubt, will find her subjects give her A very warm reception on the river. Success, I say, to that commercial scheme Whose memorable opening forms my theme ; For, oh 1 each portion of the pile is rife, With fond ideas of home and homely life. And now, shall I be quitting the sublime, By introducing Moses in my rhyme? No : Moses, who have long enjoyed control, Are nobs in trade—l don't mean knobs of coal. Moses and Son's attire is so well made.' That it has long ensured a flare-tip trade. Moses and Son, whose words ne'er end in smoke, Have given monopoly a timely poke; May I not add, too. that the Coal Exchange Is not by any means the sole Exchange ? Moses and Son at their Depot arrange, To exchange your goods without a word's exchange ; And hence it is that such a stir is made By Messrs. Moses in their flaming trade. LIST. OF PRICES. READY MADE.

ARCHITECTURE IN SPAIN.—In Spain, the buildings erected in the Christian provinces are but little known. The Muiselmen, more advanced in civilization than the Christians, exercised a powerful influence on the direc tion which architecture took in the different provinces of the Peninsula. It is known that the Andalusian artists went into Castille, and that they there erected churehes in which they preserved the plan of the Basilica, but which they decorated in the Arabian style. We will mention the churches of Zamora and of Toro, which quite resemble the French Romanesque Basilicas of the twelfth century, and the monastery of Pobelt, 1149. It is also well known that the period of the Renaissance in Spain was very brilliant —Architect and Building Operative. _ REFORMS IN THE COURT OP CHANCERY.—NearIy the last Act passed in the late session related to the Court of Chancery— the first of a series of promised reforms connected with that tribunal. The statute in question has reference to the Petty Bag-office and the practice of the common law side of the Court of Chan cery and the Enrolment-office. Among the 52 sections contained in the Act (12th and 13th Victoria, chap. 109) are provisions enabling solicitors to practise as attorneys on the common law side, and to perform the duties formerly discharged by t he clerks of the Petty Bag office. The practice is to be analogous to the common law courts, and the judges of the superior courts are to possess jurisdiction in such matters. The clerks of the Petty Bag are to be paid by salaries, and all the privi leges of its officers are abolished. Stated fees are to be taken, and the Lord Chancellor, with the assistance of the Master of the Rolls, is to make general rules and orders to enforce the new law. The Act is an improve ment on one passed last year on the same subject, and resulted from the labours of a Committee of the House of Commons on fees in courts of law and equity, recom mending the payment of officers by salaries instead of fees—a recommendation that will be generally adopted in offices of law and equity. Prodigals are persons who never learn the differ ence between a sovereign and a sixpence, until they want the latter.—Bliza Cook's Journal. BUCKS ASSOCIATION FOR THE RELIEF OF REAL PROPERTY. AYLESBURY, OCT. 31.—The first general meeting of the members and friends of this association was held at the George Inn to-day, for the purpose of taking into consideration " the depressed state of agriculture, and all classes connected therewith." The meeting was very numerously attended by the gentle men farmers of the county. The chair was occupied by Wm. Lowndes, E•q., of Cheshim. Letters of apology for non-attendance were read from Colonel Higginso ,n Mr. Halsey, M.P. for Herts, and Anthony Chester, Esq. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the prc ceedings, Mr. J. NEWMAN, J.P., of Bran Is House, proposed the first resolution, as follows " That independently of supplying their share of the imperial revenue, the owners and occupiers of real property are forced to rase a second revenue, to the amount of twelve millions sterling, by a process, and under the name of ' local taxation,' though the ob jects for which this second revenue is raised are altogether of a general and national character, and therefore properly chargeable on the entire income of the country, and not On a portion only ; especially when that portion, rated at the highest estimate, scarcely amounts to one-third of the who!e." Mr. E. STONE, tenant farmer, seconded the resolu tion, which was unanimously carried. Mr. DISRAELI, M.P., rose to propose the second re solution amid loud cheers. He said—Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, this is the first meeting of a new association recently formed in this county, an associa tion for the relief of real property. Real property, gentlemen, in its most important particular, is at thi, time peculiarly suffering. The land of England, and especially the cultivators of the land, are suffering at this moment, and, as they believe, from the acts of the Legislature.—(Hear, hear.) Under these cir cumstances, you have naturally been called upon to consider your position, and see where you are suffer ing, whether you probably might not be subject to imposts and charges which the rest of your fellow ibjects are exempt from. Now, gentlemen, this society are of opinion that it does not become us to be idle, but that, in the present Parliament we may advance many questions, and, perhaps, carry many measures, all of which have a tendency to the resto ration of protection, and which, so far as they move in that direction, will prove of a remedial, and, perhaps, of a highly remedial character to you.— (Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, with regard to those of our friends who lay it down as a principle that it is useless to attempt to obtain any relief from the present Parliament, I would venture to observe that I think that principle of action is not very constitutional in the first place, and a doubt in the next place whether it is very just. It is not the present Parliament that repealed the corn-lsws. It is not the present Government that repealed the corn -laws.—(Hear, hear.) On the con - trary, all who know the original tendency of the present Government know this, that so far from repealing the corn-laws, they would have substituted a modification of protection, which we all of us now would be very glad to accept.—(Hear and cheers.) Now, I do not presume to form a better opinion of your chances of obtaining relief from the I lope of Commons than some of those gentlemen who have given their opinions to the country, but I pass a great part of my life in the House of Com mons. It is my business as your representative to study the temper and tone of that assembly. I know something, I think, of the opinions of those who form that assembly, both collectively and individually, and from that knowledge I have arrived at the conclusion that it is by no means a desperate effort to appeal to this House of Commons for measures of a remedial character for you.—(Cheers.) I would not hesitate to express my opinion, formed on some observa tion, that the majority of the present House of Commons are not by any means devoted to that inconsistent and incoherent system which is too much honoured by being called a system of free. trade.--(Hear.) Well, then, that being the case, having that impression, and remembering that the present Government as a body of public men are almost less violently devoted to those new-fangled principles than any body of men in the House of Commons that ever formed a Government, I cannot, with the prospect of four years probably before me of this present Parliament, sincerely counsel you to do nothing but despair.--(Cheers ) I will make one observation generally, before I enter into any details, with respect to the particular interest that has called us together. When I say I look forward to the time when a wise protective system will be established in this country. I mean a system that will be generally protective of the interests of all classes of English men—l wish to guard myself from being supposed in making these observations, or any other observa tions I may chance to make, to advocate only the interest with which I am connected. In the hour of danger and difficulty it is very true that the °ther great interests of this country were not faithful to the agricultural interest. When we were attacked in 1846, when we fought your battle as well as we could, the shipping interest, the colonial interest, and the timber interest were not found ranged on our side.—(Hear.) But when their turn came, which we predicted to them would come, we did not for a moment choose to remember that want of sympathy and support on their side; on the contrary, we exerted our utmost energies on their behalf, because, acting for them, we vindicated a great principle.—(Hear and cheers.) Gentlemen, Lord George Bentinck, the best and greatest of men, sacrificed his life to the Vest India interest; and when the shipping interest was assailed more recently, so powerful were the efforts made by the agricultural constituencies and their representatives, that the impolitic change in our navigation-laws was nearly defeated.—(Hear, hear.) I say this, gentlemen, because a most respectable in dividual, a man for whom I have a very great respect and regard, an eminent ship-builder, has recently at a public meeting expressed his opinion, with great com pliments to myself—(A laugh)—that I was going on a little too fast in my recommendations to the agri cultural body. Perhaps that gentlemen in 1846, when I opposed the change in the corn-laws, thought I was going a little too slow—(Laughter)--but, with your permission, I will pursue that course which I think the wisest.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I une quivocally support protection to agriculture.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) And I do so upon this ground, because I believe that protection is the parent of cheap ness and abundance.—(Renewed cheers.) Gentlemen, since the peace, making a due and even liberal allowance for the recurrence to cash payments, the cost of production of a quarter of wheat has been reduced 100 per cent. under protection. Since the peace the British farmer has raised from the acre a greater quantity of produce than any farmer in Europe, and a much greater quantity of produce than any farmer in the United States under protection.— (Cheers.) Therefore it is unanswerable to my mind that protection has produced cheapness and abundance. Now, gentlemen, that is your case in an economical point of view. It is one that has never been answered, which no free•trader could meet, because no free. trader could deny facts so potent. All the attacks on the late law were attacks on details—arguments to prove that a sliding scale would not work, that a fixed duty was net beneficial; but no argument was brought forward to show that protection bad not produced abundance and cheapness; and when I say that I am for protection to agriculture I guard myself against all details. When I say that I do not mean to say that I am for any particular law that may be devised to morrow, or that may have been abrogated yesterday. I do not enter either on sliding scales or fixed duties. I am for protection to agriculture, because that has produced cheapness and abundance.—(Cheers.) 1 say further, that what I mean by protection is this—a system that will leave to the landed proprietor that possession which the constitution has allotted to him, and will permit him to remain the natural leader of the people —a system which will make the cultivation of the soil the principal branch of the industry of the kingdom, which will make agriculture flourish; and agriculture cannot flourish unless the farmer and the labourer receive a remunerating price, and ample and proper wages.—(Hear, hear.) I mean by protection, gentlemen, the maintenance of the territorial consti tution of the country, which cannot remain unless agriculture is the most flourishing pursuit in England, just as agriculture cannot remain the most flourishing industry of this country without the maintenance of the territorial constitution.—(Loud applause.) I come now to consider what is the best course for the agricultural interest in all its branches, classes, and ramifications to take, at this moment of almost unpa ralleled depression; with a still more gloomy future before them. You have had placed before you one of those measures which this society recommends you to adopt. • The question of the burdens on real property has now become a public question. It has been placed in a light so clear, and in a position so difficult to discomfit, that you may fairly say that the public generally, upon the subject of real property, entertains correct and accurate ideas. Many are prepared " to tell us of the difficulties we must encounter in set tling the question." No one is more sensible of those difficulties than myself. It is difficult to reconcile local jurisdiction and national contribution; it is dif ficult at all times to settle interests of such compli cated details. In 1847, when Lord George Bentinck warned the farmers of England not to be deceived by the high prices from which peculiar circumstances they could then command, but that the pinching hour WAS ineviteble, and when he called upon them as their friend to send to Parliament only men on whom they could depend, why Lord George Bentinck was looked upon as a visionary. You did not attend to him, aml where are you no ,v ? (Hear, hear) So it is with this question of the burdens on real pro perty. There is no difficulty about it, but difficulty of detail. You have conquered the principle, and you must leave the deteils to those who are respon sible for the settlement of such subjects. No doubt it is very inconveni,nt for the Ministry of this country, Irons whatever party it may be formed, to have to encounter a question ofauch magnitude, but the responsibility rests with those particular parties who. by their rash and panic-struck changes of the law, forced you to reconsider your position. lied the repeal of the corn-laws not taken place it is very possible that we might not have created in this country the feeling that now exists ageinst these unjust taxes.—(Hear, hear.) But that only shows, gentlemen, the rash, the incoherent, and the amateur manner in which the set tlement of the corn-laws was (hurried through the House' of Commons, through a House of Commons pledged to supp or t them—(Hear)—when this question ofjust compensation to you was not at the same time considered. Let us suppose that we may succeed in carrying laws founded on the resolution which has been moved by Mr. Newman and seconded by Mr. Stone. The only t en d ency of t h e success, let me remind you, will be this, that you will be put on a footing with your fellow-subjects. That is all that you ask, and all that you will obtain.—(Hear, hear.) But when you find yourselves in the present day on the same footing as your fellow-citizens you will find yourselves upon a footing of discontent. When you have obtained an equality with your fellow-subjects on this question of taxation, you will find it is an equality of murmuring and dissatisfaction. Having ob tained that relief, blended with the multitude, no longer distinguished from the great mass of the community by the privilege of paying taxes from which they are exempt, the agricultural interest will still find that all they have obtained by this equality is, that they are companions of a community that are suffering, as they say, under an overwhelming burden of imperial taxation. Now, what are you to do under those circumstances ? In ray opinion, gentlemen, upon the conduct of the agricultural constituencies in county or in borough—upon their conduct with reference to this great question of relief from general taxa tion the future of this country depends.—(Cheers.) And, therefore, in this society, at this moment, and under these circumstances, called upon to-day to consider the depression of your industry, and the measures calculated to relieve it, the most important subject fur us to consider is, what course you will take with respect to general relief from imperial tax ation.—(Hear, hear.) Now, gentlemen, in the first place, I would beg you to consider that there is no man, I apprehend, in this room who can suggest the repeal of any tax which could for a moment be looked upon as just compensation for the protective policy you have lost.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) It is possible that some person might rise and with diffi culty fix upon one tax the repeal of which might afford some colourable relief in a very slight degree in some particular county or locality. That is the most he can do. At the first glance, therefore, you will observe that the agricultural interest are not in a position to join in the clamour for are peal of taxes until they have ascertained what are the taxes the repeal of which will be a compensation to them for the protection they have lost, what are the taxes that will give to the farmer remunerative prices, and maintain and increase the wages of the labourer.—(Cheers.) You may be hurried on in a moment of passion, and find yourselves mortified, and justly mortified, by the treacherous conduct you have already experienced from men in power.—(Hear, hear.) Take my word for it, that it is the most se rious moment in your lives, and upon which the fate if that noble industry which most of you practice de pends, if you rashly, inconsiderately, and passionately join in schemes for the repeal of taxes which will not benefit you, though they may benefit others that are opposed to you. Now, then, if at the first blush the agricultural interest can have no fair prospect of ge neral relief from the repeal of taxes, let us inquire with what face the, manufacturing interest, or even the commercial interest, can come forward and say that in consequence of their suffering they demand a repeal oaf the imperial taxation of the country ? Remember that for some years past the whole legislation of this country has bean conducted in deference to the fiscal principles and the financial policy of the manufac -tiring and commercial interests. Ten years ago I heard the most eminent leaders of the manufacturing interest repeatedly assert that if we repealed the corn laws they could beat the world. Well, the Minister of that day was not prepared to repeal the corn !aws. Ile made what is called "a great experiment." Now, I will tell you what Sir R. Peel meant by " a great experiment." It was not really the common pretext that by diminishing the duties on imports you night increase consumption. The " great experi ment" of that party of which I was a member—the great Conservative party—was to see whether they could not save the corn-laws by a great reduction of indirect taxation.—(Hear, hear.) Under those cir cumstances seven millions and a half of indirect taxes were taken off. All the duties on raw materials—a 4reat diminution of the duties on all articles that entered into general consumption—seven millions and a half of the revenue were sacrificed to save the corn laws, and it ended by that interest which had obtained that seven and a half millions getting the repeal of the corn-laws besides. But, in addition to obtaining those seven and a half millions of repeal of indirect taxation, besides obtaining the repeal of the corn-laws, the actual boon that the commercial interest obtained was the total repeal of the postage of the country, an alteration that has made a difference of hundreds, and, in some instances, of even thousands, in the annual expenditure of great firms.—(Hear.) Well, gentlemen, this is the condition of the manufacturing and commer cial interests. Remember that, besides all this, accord ing to their own estimate they ere obtaining countless treasures from the expansion of old markets, and the discovery of new ones. Remember also, and never forget it, that according to their own estimate, the estimate of a gentleman high in economic science, the former secretary of the Board of Trade—remember that according to the estimate of that gentleman, who was sail to have been returned to Parliament in consequence of that estimate, and who was also said to have drawn the tariff of Sir Robert Peel, the people of England are now, by the repeal of the pro vision laws, gaining two millions sterling per week. Chat is the estimate of Mr. Macgregor, the Member for Glasgow, and the prime counsellor and confidant if the Government that repealed the corn-laws.-- (Hear, hear.) Well, then, with what colourcan the manufacturing and commercial interests come forward and demand a repeal of the great mass of taxes under the plea that they are suffering ? How is it possible r.hat with the immense increase of population which has taken place, with the vast increase of wealth, with our commerce greatly increased, with our manufactures doubled, and with a very large diminution in the taxation—how is it possible that there can be that suffering from the burden of taxation of which we hear so much from particular quarters? Gen tlemen, the fact is, that those who clamour about this burden of taxation, are those, limited in numbers though powerful in organization, who wish to stimu• late foreign markets which they have glutted already with their productions, as in the case of China, or they are a body who, under the name of financial reform, contemplate political change ; and I will show you that the political change they contemplate under the name of financial reform is a change hostile to the property and industry of the owners and occu piers of real property in land.—(Hear, hear.) Gen tlemen, financial reform means, in fact, direct taxa tion; and direct taxation, however plausible at first, inasmuch as all property in this country, except real property, is of a most evanescent and fleeting charac ter, inasmuch as the fundholder in London, if taxed, will buy funds at Vienna or Brussels—it is quite clear that the burden of direct taxation must ultimately and speedily fall on real property.—(Cheers.) And, gentlemen, the greater the burden of taxation on you the more your industry will dwindle to meet that catastrophe on which they count. Now, under these circumstances, I think no course is more to be deprecated than that the agricultural constituencies should join in this clamour for the re duction of imperial taxation. What the agricultural interest requires, and this country requires, is not din,irsntion of taxation, but increase of means. — (Cheers.) Now, I believe there is a measure which, if supported by the agricultural interest of this coun try may he productive of very great advantages to you, and, gentlemen, it is one of those measures which—having a tendency to the same object to which I alluded before, and which must not be lost sight of—namely, the restoration of a judicious system of protective policy—l think may be obtained from the present Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) In all the efforts made last year, in those prolonged discussions and divisions in which the question of the new com mercial system at all entered, and in which your in terest was brought under consideration, it is a curious thing to observe the vast number of members who ab sented themselves from the divisions. lA , hat was called the free-trade party represented by the Go• vernment always polled to the last man. What was callo 1 the protectionist party manfully and fairly came forward on every occasion. In the par ticular debate on the burdens on agriculture we were beaten only by 90, yet there were on that occasion 120 men who did not vote at all. You may take for granted that these 120 men would have voted if the pinch had been felt then which is felt now, and if their constituents had only re minded them that the time had come when they must do something for their relief.—(Heir, hear.) I want to absorb this floating body in the party that will vote for measures of agricultural relief, and I do not despair of doing that, particularly if you do not mix up the agricultural question in any way with party politics. Let all join you who are interested in the land direct'y or indirectly, but do not make the land question a machine to subvert the Government. If you can obtain from this Government measures of advantage and of justice, be thankful. Remember that the Prime Minister of England is -the child of a great territorial house.—(Hear.) Remember that the Whigs, though they are the unfortunate crea tures of circumstances (Laughter)—which is not their own fault, because they were forced to take the government of this country without the country wishing them to take it—(Hear, hear)—remember that the Whigs have sympathies with the land ; and, gentlemen, if you find an inclination on their part to support measures which have a tendency to your relief, do not refuse that support, and do not, under any circumstances, mix those measures with party politics.—(Cheers.) Now, the measure which I think may be obtained, and which I believe would be productive of vast importance, is one upon which I will touch for a few m omen t s . I have only once cursorily alluded to it. I believe that at this moment, inasmuch as it is not the interest of the land to reduce the general taxation, and as it is the interest of the land to resist the plans of those who would diminish the general taxation, it is of the greatest importance that you should call on the Legislature to establish a sinking fund ; and now I will explain to you what will be the effect of that upon the industry and property of the owners and occupiers of land. On this point, I will take, as I always do, the data and the estimate of our opponents. We have upon the subject of the sinking fund the estimate of a gen tleman who is a political economist and a free-trader, but who is the most sagacious writer and the most sensible investigator of all subjects of finance in the ranks of our opponents. I mean Mr. M'Culloch. Mr. M`Culloch, though opposed to a sinking fund because he thinks it could not be maintained, says, in his work on taxation, that no doubt the consequences of a sinking fund of 5,000,000/. would be of vast im portance, and that it is highly probable the rate of Go vernment securities in such a case would in a very short time not exceed even two per cent. Now I want you to consider the effect upon your property and industry in such a state of affairs. If that were the case the surplus capital of this country, the accumulations which have been devoted heretofore by the English people to foreign mines and foreign loans, and British railways, all those accumulati o ns wou ld find their way to the enrichment and cultivation of the soil. Now, I will take a case to show you what must be the immediate and practical effect on the land of England if you had this fund established. We had some allusion made to mortgages by a gentleman who spoke. It is difficult to estimate the mortgages of this country, but I have arrived at the conclusion that they probably amount to 400,000,0001. The interest on that is 16,000,0001. Under the new plan that interest would be reduced, and by that means every acre in the country would be drained, and tenants would be assisted in every application they made for improved cultivation. It is impossible to contemplate anything that would have a more direct tendency to benefit agricultUre, to make farmers prosperous, and to place the landed proprietors in a safe position. We may raise that sinking-fund by a duty on foreign imports, and, in my opinion, a duty on foreign imports is a law that not only possibly may be passed, but that probably will be passed in the Parliament that now exists.—(Cheers.) If it be passed, let it be combined with a measure which shall renovate and increase the fortunes of the great agricultural interest, but, at all events, whether passed or not, we hope to obtain for these measures a favourab:e, if not a successful, hearing in Parliament, because they are founded on justicLpd principles of high policy. The Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving that " in the opinion of the meeting Parlia mentary measures were required which would ensure that re al property should bear only its fair and just proportion of the revenue of the country that is lo cally raised, and as sh ,uld effect, at the same time, a gradual and certain diminutiol of the imperial and general burdens by the establishment of a sinking i fund to be raised by a duty on foreign imports.", Mr. GIBBONS seconded the motion, which was adopted. Mr. L. STONE, of Brightwell Park, moved the adoption of a petition to the Legislieure, founded on the two fort-going resolutions. The motion was seconded by Mr. E. W. Cox, tenant-farmer, and carried. '1 Iv. proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the chairman. • S tY 141 -)- tp , en -4—_ - - .. ~...,nl . i - s - ch„., / • ... 4.,, 4 , .v . entl , a 1 . 3 P.,,, tttri....r ; )e , , ~,,t, _, . h tl ~6st , t irs l : , -k . 1, :_i . , " , : t. : r .,...

Prorn the ultra-Legitimist, a. of restoring Henry V. to the throne of hialkieteldfia down to the Red Republican eager for the day which is once more to consign Prance to a horde of savages, there is not one of these political bands which does not regard Louis Napoleon as the transition to some thing else—there is not one of them which does not perceive that by assuming the chief personal respon sibility of the administration at such a moment, Louis Napoleon has placed himself between absolute success, crowned by absolute power, and destruction. A gr e at man, such as hi s uncle, might achieve the former ; a lesser man, such as the nephew, has at least not flinched from the latter. His address is imprudent, but it is spirited ; and though it may not be easy to stand above the warring hosts of French politicians, Louis Napoleon has little cause to pay any of thine the homage of gratitude or fear. C lIRONICL E.—The Duf.mre Cabinet has foun dered in a calm. Neither the henry artillery of a Parliamentary Opposition, nor the storms and a hint winds of popular excitement, have been the instru ments of its destruction- The Ministers are turned oue not because they have failed to commend the support of the Assembly, but became they have not satalisd the President ; their places are supplied by men, the majority of whom are mere cyphers in the political woi Id, all selected from the little circle of persomil friends end adherents who enjoy the entree of the Elysee ; and the message by which the fact is announced to the Legislature is couched in language such as has very seldom flowed from the pen of a constitutional sovereign. Louis Napoleon pur poses to assume- the Government of France. " For nearly a twelvemonth" he has allowed the free play of the constitutional machine to elevate to power the men who had sufficient talents and popularity to be uppermost. Ile has lett party organization to do its work, and exercised his power of selection only by choosing the individuals whom circumstances pointed out as representing most truly the predominant shades of public opinion. In shon e he has played the part of a constitutional monarch. But this way of reigning has not satisfied him, nor has it, as he believes, satisfied the nation. He is de• termined to take a different course hereafter. He is the elect of six million Frenchmen. The six millions in choosing the heir of Napoleon, meant to choose a Napoleon policy, and a Napoleon Government. Hence forth they shall have both the one and the other. He will impress the bent of his own will on the policy of the country ; the ministers whom he will choose shall be the men best fitted to realize, not the views of others, but bis own. His Cabinet shall be the exponent and instrument of a Napoleon policy—the reflex of himself. In a word, he will be his own Prime Mi nister. "Gentlemen," says the missive, in language which has at least the merit of bein g tolerably plain, "I have sat by long enough ; you have had it all your own way—and a pretty mess you have made of it. I intend now to take my share in the game." Having said thus much, we need scarcely go on to observe, that a communication more injudicious, both in form and substance, has seldom been laid before the Legis lature of a free country. Louis Napoleon has suffered himself to be misled by the false position in which he is placed as the elected President of a great Republic. Like General Taylor, indeed, he owes his elevation to the suffrages of the people ; but he forgets that in one very material respect his position is far more nearly akin to that of the hereditary Monarchs of the old world—viz., that those suffrages have placed him at the head of a single highly centraliied common wealth, not at the summit of the loose fabric of a federal state. He confounds the legal responsibility, wherein his position differs from that of Leopold of Belgium, with the moral responsibility of a Minister, who is the servant of a Parliament, and holds office during the good pleasure of a Parliamentary majo ri y. Louis Philippe, himself virtually an elected monarch, made the same mistake, although he never went so far as to tell the Chambers so. He was his own Prime Minister, and the consequence is, that he bears amongst his former subjects the blame of every false step made by each of the Cabinets in which he successively presided. The popularity of Louis Na poleon is still considerable; for the ten months which have passed since his election have witnessed a great and progressive improvement in the condition of the country. But let him once commit the imprudence of thoroughly identifying himself with an adminis tration, be it good, bad, or indifferent, and be will find, to his cost, that it is the Presidency of which the nation is enamoured, rather than the President him self. Let him try to govern, instead of simply reign ing, and he will be " used up" before his second year has well begun. It is not, we fear, too much to say that the Conservative majority is broken up—that the President and tl.e Assembly are :gain at war—und that France has made a long stride towards her next Revolution. BERALD.—If the Barrot Cabinet survived the dangerous support of the 1\1016.; and the Thiers, the Berryers and the Montelemberts, it was sure to fall either from inherent weakness—domestic dissension —or the disrelish of the President or of the nation at large. In the discussion on Roman affairs a fort night ago, it exhibited a base subserviency, unre deemed by one spark of gratitude or courage. The Minister for Foreign Affairs completely threw tie letter of the President overboard, and sacrificed him to the wishes of the exigent majority. Though the conduct of Odilon 13arrot was a degree less cowardly, yet the tone of his speech was tame, spiritless, and deprecatory in the extreme. Exhibiting the &mous letter to Edgar Ney in his hand, and professing to act on the principle of that letter, he yet had not the courage to read it, and is said to have replaced it in his portfolio at the suggestion of little M. Thiers.
