The distressed people of England have reason to be grateful to Lord KINNAIRD for having brought their c,Adition under the notice of the House of Lords last night in a vivid and striking manner. 'The Noble Lord proved by the conduct of the Ministers that they knew of the great and general distress, and he complained of the inefficiency of their measures to relieve it. The people had asked for bread, he said, awl their Lordships had offered them stones. Our population is in creasing. but the consumption of each individual is lessening. Thus the consumption of wheat had been Its, last year, by 800,000 quarters than the year be fore, and it promised to be less this year. At the same time the poor-rates in Marylebone had increased from 44,573/., in 1836, to 76,3.551. in 1841. Crime, too, is increasing. The Noble Lord quoted a variety of facts relative to the consumption of different places, and to diminished employment, to show that the condition of the people was deteriorating. All his observations had no other effect on the Duke of WELLINGTON than to make him impatient ; and he told the Noble Lord to wait to see the effects of the measures introduced by the Masters. We regard such policy as most erroneous. Thee people require to be convinced that they are cared f as well as actually to receive relief ; and as their' Lordships have no great deal of work on hand, and have heretofore readily inquired into the distress of the • agriculturists, the least they could have done, we think, was to have granted the Committee, and insti tuted a searching inquiry into the condition of the people.' If their Lordships are acquainted with that .tiondttion, it is a terrible reproach to them that they do not devisnineani to remedy it ; or, if they cannot, let them-abdicate their legislative functions. If their Lord ships',: ate not acqUainted with the condition of the 1;4mp1e,.-it is a scandal to them that they do not inquire into it. • Either their' Lordships are excessively ignorant, o r powerless Ail in either case they can have no claim to the respect the people, whose distress they cannot, o r will not, relieve. Whatever may be the merit of Sir it. Pcin.'s commer cial re ii )r a l s they are the otTsprlng of necessity. H i s no more now an enthusiastie free-trailer, who sacriaces his party to a theory, than he was a convert to roper • when he consente d to bring forward Catholic Emancipa tion. H e i.s a mere expediency politician—the chief of the red tapists—who would not, if he could have helped it, 'have risked his power by offending his supporters. Tile fact is, as he has stated, that population has out snipped the supplies of food which can at present be ob tained from our own soil, and, to avoid some of the ut most z.everities of famine, he has been compelled to pro pir,e measures which he supposes u ill have that effeet. Ilis..coaduct, dictated by this palpable necessity, is the strongest proof we have yet seet of the.growing ascen itnq of free-tmle principles. All that intriguing poli tieians can do is, to obey them, even while they eeny their power. This faCt is instinct with prictieal deductions. Al ready . Sir IL PEEL has been obliged to depend on his op p:Aleuts fur the suc:!ess .or his propositions. ire cannot, it is clear, long carry on the administration by the aid of a paity who mistrust him and hate his measures. In fact, lath Tory and Whig journals have already alluded to a speedy dissolution of his administration. The principles which aro now forcing bins to act adversely from his friends will then be still more in the ascendant, and the practical question which the friends of free trade ought betimes to consider is, will they who are aided by a Pxwa. an d hi s com bi ne d Oweert‘itkrior to Sir RonEtcr 1rO;s1:. of moOpolists, help'hitn; F or hi s .. own purposes, t(') iheir certain victory_ ? If they'be courageous and i'ffe Men, with confidence •in their rt. prineiples, let thcnt. leAv!l expediency to la", and they w ill soon be rkt• .. • st, iiire amuuowei-e-r, that they are tuie tk oi. th 4 111 have already been bribed to support a worthless Tariff, which carries an Income- tax with it. They have been smitten with a fancied liberality ; and as the Whigs said nothing about cattle, they have adopted the conclusion that Sir B. PEEL is a better free trader than his oppo nents. But they proposed a measure as to corn, which made the concession as to cattle of minor importance. England possesses such immense advantages in rearing and fattening cattle, that with a tree trade in corn she need no more fear a competition with foreign oxen than with foreign cottons and hardware. Though we advo cate a free trade in all things, a free trade in cattle—had we a free corn trade—would be practically of no im portance. The Whigs, therefore, by proposing to allow the importation of corn at a fixed duty, rendered the pro hibition to import cattle unimportant ; while Sir R. PEEL has won the hearts of the free traders by a con cession that is nearly worthless in conjunction with the sliding scale. Their conduct on this occasion is an ex ample of that gullibility against which we desire to guard them. At the head of a majority of 100, Sir PEEL has been compelled to yield ; and we beg the free traders will consider that fact, in order to prevent them throwing away their advantages. We read a great deal in public journals of the cor ruption if the people, and very little of the corruption of the Government. Because, the latter is constituted to take care of the former, and promote their moral im provement, it is assumed as beyond a doubt that it is superior to them, and always answers the intended pur pose. This is evidently a great mistake, and to expect the moral improvement of the people from oar Government, is to look for a substance where there is not even a shadow. The decision of the &Mast election, huddled up yes terday like so many other Election Committees, has added to the number of instances already known of the Legislature-. springing from the vilest corruption. The election was..at once declared void. The bribery was kept out of view by a resignation. In truth, proofs of that corruption have of late been so numerous that even Sir ROBERT PEEL, no purist, who has been familiar with scenes of corruption in the House of Commons all his life, cries- out shame, and calls on the Members of both sides to skin over the foul ulcers if they cannot cure them. In all those instances—and the public has a thorough conviction that the cases in which corruption is practised and concealed are much more numerous than the detections—we find the component parts of the Legislature labouring assiduously to corrupt find debase the people. Does the Executive afford us a better example ? We will not imitate the bad taste of both Houses of Par liament, and speak of our amiable and high-minded QUEEN as constituting the Government, and responsible, therefore, for the many evils which the misery of the multitude brings home to its door. Her example, as a woman and a Queen, as a wife and a mother, can only be beneficial to the community, while the example of the Government is the very reverse. Its whole career, latterly, has been tortuous duplicity. Sir Rom= PEEL's promises and his performances are no better than a most mischievous fraud. He broke up the late Ministry, and delayed that relief for which the people were pant ing, because he and his party were opposed to the re laxation of our commercial restrictions, and he has in troduced a series of measures to carry out in a bungling manner the principles which, in opposition, he would not allow to be acted on. The one obvious difference between his measures and theirs is, that they really meant to benefit the public; while he proposes, by set ting one interest against another, to secure his own power. His example is one of gross deceit. He ob mined power on false pretexts, and he uses it only to spread dissension and delusion through the land. Even the Morning Post cries out against him as a promise breaker, and those who placed him in office trust him no longer. With a corrupt Legislature, and deceitful Executive, how can we reasonably expect a moral people ? The salt which should preserve has lost its virtue. If they be not superior in morals to both the Legislative and Executive powers, and be unable to infuse a wholesome reform into both, there can be no hope of improvement either in the conduct of the Government or in their mo. rality. In general, we are less disposed to advocate organic reform than measures of immediate utility ; but such measures having been obstinately refused, we are compelled, like others who are thoroughly disappointed by the conduct of the Government, to fall back o❑ or ganic changes as the only means of preventing the Go vernment• continuing to injure and corrupt society. Grievous disorders mast ensue if the Government re main, as at present, more corrupt than the governed. We congratulate the country on the altered tone which pervaded the speeches of Members on Wednesday when discussing Mr. PARINGTON'S absurd motion, and the glorious victory obtained by common sense over bigotry and tyranny. In a House containing 120 Mem hers, only seven voted for extending the Sunday blessings of the Metropolitan Police Act to the country ; and to the credit of the Liberal party, only one of their number, Captain PECHELI„ voted with the minority. The speech of Sir JAMES GRAHAM was just what might have been effected from him, when unbiassed by political preju dices; ; it Was liberal and judicious, and cast to the winds all that Pharisaical horror of Sabbath desecra tion which pervaded the House when Saint AGNEW was a Member. His rejection by the electors of his native county was a great mercy, for had he been pre sent last night, and heard the debate, the result might have been fatal. The speech., of the Home Secretary mould have made him shake like an aspen leaf. " glass of ale and a crust of bread and cheese," said the Right Hon. Baronet, " would do no man any harm ; and any endeav our to prevent that would be an attempt at the curtailment of the innocent recreations of the people." What I Recreations on a Sabbath I And those, too, advocated by fhe especial guardian of public morals— the Minister appointed by the Crown to preserve the peace of the community, and also to take care that the institutions of the Church be religiously upheld I Let, however, Sir ANDREW and the seven wise men say what they will, the people throughout the country will be thankful for the change, and will do honour to a Minister who has the courage and the honesty to set his face against these pests of society. We trust, how ever,- and indeed believe, that he will not stop here. If a crust of bread and cheese and a glass of ale can do a • man no harm in the country, why should not the same good things be allowed to the poor man at Highgate or Greenwich ? Why should publicans in the metropolitan districts be placed, to their great loss, on a different foot ing; from those at Gravesend or Richmond ? Maey in dustrious men have been ruined by this Sunday Act, which such a vast majority on Wednesday night voted would be injurious to the country. SirJ. GRAHAM is evidently aware of its tendency, notwithstanding the opinions of the Police Commissioners, and, probably, to please them, will give it another trial ; but, if we are not mistaken, he will in.the end find that a law which is bad for one district is bad' for another, and abolish it altogether. ' As a proof of the tender mercies of this hypocritical sect. Mr. PAKINGTON proposed • - that a publican should be tined 5/. for selling 'a glasi of ale, and if he would not, or could not, pay should be sent to prison for a month ! The French Journals continue to harp upon the vote of Saturday, for compelling Ministers to increase the number of ships in commission. We can discover in it no good ground for triumph, unless it can be proved that a nation's happiness is increased by oppressing it with taxation. As to the tirades about defending the honour of France, they are sheer humbug. No one seeks to attack France, nor would she be one jot more secure than she is, had she a hundred ships of the line in commission. As regardi this country, we can con fidently state that there is no party or person in it, who ever for a moment entertained the id ea of going to war with France about a Bight of Search Treaty. That Treaty was as much her own as it was ours, and in abandoning it she disgraced herself, not injured, or in sulted us. Why then should we go to war with her, to compel her to perform a duty to herself ? With respect to the boasted triumph over us, and the rage into which the vote of the Chamber is to throw the British press, we tell our Gallic contemporaries that they are welcome to a dozen such triumphs, and may enjoy them as heartily as they please with Out putting us once out of humour. The money has been voted, but when payment is de manded, we shall see whether the French people will not be more out of humour than the London press. BOLIRSE-Paaits, TUESDAY, MAY 31.

BELFAST ELECTION.-It will be seen from our report of the proceedings iu the Belfast Election Committee yes terday, that both Members have been rejected, and conse quently a new election will take place forthwith. We have received two letters respecting the view we have taken of the Scotch Church patronage question. Our correspondents have mistaken our opinions on the subject. We have'never advocated patronage, but have been opposed to the scheme of taking the right of pre sentation from the patron, and giving it to the clergy. Did not 1)r. Chalmers, in the course of the late session of the GenerLl Assembly, make himself sufficiently un derstood on that point: "He had no faith in the in fallibility of the popular voice. To the Church Courts belong the highest and most important part of this matter." If our correspondents believe not the great Apostle of Non. Intrusion, they would not believe cue risen from the dead. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CM', THURSDAY EVENING. The demand for money in the English Market has still continued, and consequently the prices of the funds are a shade below yesterday. The near approach of the fourth of the month is most probably the proximate cause ; since bills drawn at s;x months from the commeneemect of the year will then yell due. Some ideas have been promulgated that orders for foreign corn are now being sent out, but the state of the wea ther, and the favourable state of the Exchange, would seem to forbid the supposition to be correct.

The foreign arrivals to-day are from Sydney arid the Cape of Good Hope, but of intermediate date. The former gave information relstive to the question for fixing the boundary of the northern districts, and until it was defined, the land sales had been suspended in consequence of orders from home. This proceeding had at the time excited great fears lest the com mercial interests of the districts might not be materially af fected, and although it is supposed that such has been the case. yet local circumstances had happened to open fresh channels for enterprise, and interwoven many important and increasing in terests into the soeial economy of the district. Among the first of importance, it is considered that the com pletion of the route from the great wool countries of Liverpool Plains, Beardy Plains, and New England, to the head of the navigation of the Hastings, should be planned. By this Port Mac quarie, which already possesses so many natural andartificial ca pabilities, will, it is considered, be at once placed in a position to demand all the advantages of a free port. This progressive feature had been followed by the partial opening of the trade with the settlements on the .%I'Leay and Clarence rivers, from which much was augured for the advancement of the North Eastern coast, and had already called into operation a large trade with Sydney. A steam vessel, which are now largely used in the coasting trade, had again navigated the Clarence to sixty miles from the mouth, and it was reported " that the result - of her trip entirely confirmed all the hopes that had been entertained as to the capabilities of this noble stream, which promised to I become a most important feature in the progress of internal I communication."

Accounts from Paris,datedWednesday, state, th a t th e intelligence from Madrid, which we received by express and published on Wednesday, had produced little effect on the Bourse, but had occasioned considerable sensation in the political world. Although the news in question does not appear in the Noniteur its correctness-is unquestionable. In the highest quarters it was deemed certain th at t h e Spanish Ministers must resign, tor that they dare nut dissolve the Chambers. It was considered nearly certain that the new Mi nistry would obtain the supplies as speedily as possible, and then dissolve the Chambers. It was supposed that M. Olozaga would be commis sioned to form the new Cabinet. The Parisßourse was much agitated on Wednesday by the rejection of three railroad bills (Paris to Versailles, Strasburg to Basle, and Bordeaux to La Teste) by the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday. The speculators in these undertakings proposed to pay their difirences, which were immense, and sold out of the public funds so largely as to cause a decline in the Three per Cents. The French Academy has just come to a decision on an essay submitted to public competition, but which it had adjourned 'in 1841. The subject was "to determine the in influence of Spanish works on French literature at the com mencement of the seventeenth century." As this was the first time that modern literature was submitted to the Academy for appreciation, considerable interest was excited. The prize was awarded to 141. Adolphe de Puibut.que, of Paris, a member of several learned societies, and formerly. a Sub-Prefect. M. Victor Hugo, as reporter of the spreial committee appointed for the occasion, stated, in a brilliant extemporary address, the reasons whiciihad caused the prize to - be - awarded to the suc cessful candidate.

Major Ogilvy of the :Id Life Guards, who obtained brevet rank in consequence of being the officer on duty at the Horse Guards on the day of the birth of the infant heir apparent to the throne, the young Prince of Wales, and Sub-Lieutenant Lucas, were the officers who rode close to the side of her Ma jesty's carriage on Wednesday, when she proceeded from Buck ingham Palace to St. James's, to hold her last levee for the sea son, which was thronged with the nobility and gentry anxious to pay their respects to the Sovereign. The military escort consisted of the usual number of soldiers, who dismounted at the garden gate until the levee was over. Prince Albert, who wore the uniform of his regiment, the Scots' Fusilier Guards, lookM rather thoughtful ; the Queen, who was greeted in the most enthusiastic manner by the multitude assembled in the Park, looked remarkably well, and acknowledged the congra tulations_of her people by repeatedly bowing. Her Majesty, notwithstanding the fatigue. of the levee and receiving Addresses from both Houses of Parliament. gave a sumptuous banquet in the evening to a party of forty noble and illustrious personages, and appeared in her usial health and spirits. Mr. Maule,.the Solicitor to the Treasury, and his assistant, Mr. Bouchier, will have the conduct of toe prosecution against Francis, and will assist the Attorney and solicitor-Generals. It was stated at the Palace on Wednesday by the attaches of the Court and other persons connected with the household, that, in the event of the prisoner's conviction, of which there is little do'ibt, his punish ment will be severe, in the event of his life being spared. The Court has finally arranged to leave town on Monday morning next for Windsor Castle. Her :Majesty was accustomed of late to ride out, accompanied by one equerry only, but in consequence of the information fur nished by Sir Peter Laurie to the Comptroller of the House hold, as to the attempted treason on Sunday, on thefollowing day an equerry was directed to ride on each side of the carriage, so as to distract the aim, and perplex the intended assassin, or, perhaps, to deter him from firing at all. Her Majesty was ac companied by two equerries in her ride on Tuesday. THE LATE ATTACK on the QUEEN. Since the prisoner Francis has been in Newgate he has con ducted himself remarkably well. He appears very composed, and exhibits ,ome appearance of being .aware of the fearful position in which he is placed. Of course none of the officers or othtrs connected with the gaol have bad any conversation with him in reference to the offence with which he stands charged, but it may be relied on as a positive fact that the prisoner has on several occasions declared that there was no ball in the pistol when it was discharged. A turnkey is continually with him, to prevent all possibility of his making any attempt at self-destruction, but his conduct or behaviour does not give the slightest ground for supposing that he would commit such an act were he so minded--he appears quite calm, submissive, 'and obedient, and that he should have committed such a desperate act appears most extraordinary. The conduct of Cooper, the man charged with the murder of the constable at Highbury, proves a striking contrast to that of Francis. He has been so violent anti brutal on carious occasions that he has effectually- alienated the kind feelings of all those with whom he has come in contact while in the prison from him. The prisoner up to yesterday persisted in declaring that the pistol had nothing in it but powder, and some circumstances would induce a belief that his assertinu was correct, there being up to this time an entire absence of proof in any way that the weapon was loaded. The most diligent search has been made, but tie trace of a ball has been discovered, and from the posi tion in which the pistol was proved to be fired, if it had been really loaded with ball, there is every reason to.believe that the t must have been discovered. As may naturally be supposed, the occurrence has creased very great sensation throughout the country ; and the t rovin cial Jaime's that have already appeared, express in strong terms abhorrence at the act, and at the same time testily tothe congratulations of all upon the merciful interposition of Provi dence in behalf of our beloved Queen. At the meetirg of the East Surrey Agricultural Association, on Wednesday, at Croydon, Sir Edmund Antrebus, the Pre,i dent, on proposing the health of her Majesty, said he could not help alluding to the two atrocious attempts that had been so recently made upon her life, and which he said, ap peared to have been only averted by the almost miraculous interposition of Providence. He added, that he knew that at all times this toast was received by the members with enthusiasm; but he called upon them at the present junc ture to respond to it with increased energy, as a token of their abhorrence at the dastardly outrage that had been committed; and, at the same time, to express their congratulation,—a feeling which he was quite sure was entertained' by the whole country, at her Majesty's escape. The company hardly allowed the President to finish his address, before they commenced giving vent to their feelings by a volley of enthusiastic cheers. The professional singers then gave the National Anthem, and concluded with the fol lowing additional stanza, which was first composed at the period of the attack made by Hatfield, u n ion his late Majesty George the Third : " From every latent foe, From the a.sassin's blow— God save the Queen. O'er her thine arm extend, For Britain's sake defend Our Sovereign, Queen, and Friend God save the Queen," The whole company repeated the stanza with the greatest enthusiasm, and at its conclusion the cheering was again re newed, and continued for some considerable time. Since the prisoner has been committed to Newgate, the gaolers have continued their inquiries, but nothing further of any importance has transpired, and there does not appear the slightest ground for supposing that the prisoner had any ac complices. Some fresh witnesses have, however, been sub pcenaed upon the trial, and among them are the keeper of the coffee-house which the prisoner frequented in Mortimer-street, and the person with whom he lodged in Titchfield-street. On Saturday, the 9th inst., the Box Tunnel pre sented a most splendid though singular appearance, caused by the sun shiningdirectly through it, and giving the walls a brilliancy, to use the expression of an eye-witnesA, "as though the whole tunnel bail b, en gilt."

In the present chapter of Mrs. Gore's tale of " Abednego, the Money-lender," the character of the dry, hard, close-fisted old usurer is brought out with considerable tact. He had once, it seems, warm and kindly feelings ; knew what it was to entertain a fer vent attachment to one beloved being, for whom•-as he tells Basil Annesley—he would have perilled every hope of his soul, in this world and the world to come ; and could make ready sacrifices in the cause of friend ship : but his sensibilities had been outraged ; his love had been treated with contempt and ridictile; and his friendship betrayed; and thus, burning with a sense of intolerable wrong, he had by degrees with • drawn himself from society, suffered hate, distrust,• and malignity to take possession of his soul, and at length adopted the vocationuf a usurer, as much with a view to gratify vindictive feelings by witnessing the sufferings of those 'ith whom he came in con tact, as to minister to hirove of gain. lt is not often that we find professed money-lenders driven to their trade by motives of this sentimental character. " A Lecture on Cowper and Burns" is by Ebenezer Elliott, the Corn-law Rhymer. There are some clever critical remarks scattered through it, as might be expected from one so conversant with the poetical as Mr. Elliott. The following observations are just, though by no means remarkable for novelty l : "Burns's muse_ was manliness . ; he was honest and fearless. The muse of Cowper was conscience ; he was honest, but not fearless ; be trembled, and a shadow overthrew him—but it was a shadow darker than the shadow of death. He would have been a far greater poet than he was, if disease had not made him a coward. The hope of Burns is more poetical than Cowper's despair." Of course, because the range of hope is infinite, and the images drawn from pleasure are essentially more poetical than those drawn from pain. In another passage, we think, the Corn-law Rhymer somewhat overrates the powers of Cowper, who, though a great, was unquestionably not a first rate poet, nor lit to be named on the same -day with Burns. The "Cold Water Cure"—what a remedy when the thermometer is below zero I—is an account of a remedial system that bids :air to eclipse Morison's Pills, and the famous nostrum of Brandy and Salt. The originator of " Hydropathy"—as it is learnedly called—is a self-taught German, by name Priessnitz, who, it appears, has already accumulated a fortune of fifty thousand pounds; and has now an establishment at Graefenberg containing upwards of five hundred patients. If he would agree to qualify his doses of cold water with just a wee ,moclicum of Scotch whis key, or even brandy—for we -are b: / - no means par ticular—it is far from improbable that we ourselves might become one of his patients. But to water, whether hot, cold, or luke-warm, in its unsophisti cated, elementary state, we entertain a sincere, and, we humbly trust, well-founded, aversion. " Miss -Burney's Diary and Letters" is an agreeable notice of the last volume of this posthumous publication. As a favourable specimen of Tait's poetry, we quote the " Song of June" : Night's conqueror I, on kis eboia-roof tree My mantle of twili&ht hayigkhauglitily. Tne glistering stars ti - cni;their to ales of space Look down and grow dipt.e'er thelsles I embrace For my chariot wheels qt §y shnliklit afar, • And my oritlamme, ligb tiitng,'-aye :challenges war, Till hill calls to valley,. and.iniltintailis reply, With the thunder I wield vhihr I tOverse the sky.

And at night send the mower .home wearily. About the.green hedges, I convolvulus twine ; Drive trine to the sedges ; Give bloom to the vine ; • In the brook plunge the peasant-boy cheerily. I canopy lanes for young lovers to stroll In the dimness of eve, by the light of the soul ; Where the glow of my roses - • Illumines the shade, Yet vainly opposes The blush of a maid ! Ah lovers I fond lovers I you no'er can commune With a sensitive confidant secret as June. • 2. Age blesses my feet ; for I bring him the joy- Which surrounded his thoughts and his heart when a boy ; He shall dream in his porch of full tifty.years gone, When he loitered a listener in woods, not alone— No ; a face that was fairer, with soul insincere, Poured its poisonous balm in the coqueting ear Of her he adored,-till fire flashed from his eyes, And he thrashed the intruder, and bore off theprize;- 7 - My sweet magic his dreamy thoughts brightening. I have flowers for rough brambles ; Gild the broom in the wild ; I dry meads for . the ganibuls Of each dear happy child The bonds of all. Nature kluve tightening. My bloom-pencil streaking Full orchards, I ply, While hay- wains are creaking To homesteads hard by The fawn and the levei-et frightening.

COLBURN S VA SERVICE MAGAZIA E. " Our Naval Chiefs of other Days" is continued with the usual Spirit and interest. The history of these worthies is confined chiefly to Admirals during the reigns of Henry VIII. and Queen Elizabeth, in which the house of Howard greatly distinguished it self. Two of that family reached the rank of Lord High Admiral; Edward, the second son of the Earl of Surrey, held the title first, arid at his death he was succeeded by his elder brother Thomas. Interesting details are afterwards given of another scion of that illustrious 'line Lord Howard de Effingham, well known in English history for his memorable victory over the Spanish Armada, • and also of the gallant _Sir Francis Drake, who appears to have been more dreaded and hated by the' Spaniards and Portugnese than ever Nelson was by the French. The " Journal of an Excursion into tile Interior. of the Northern Island of New Zealand, by Captain Best," will be found inte resting. The following melancholy account of Capt. Symonds' death, who accompanied him, is furnished by the Editor of the Magazine : We deeply grieve to record the premature and melan choly fate which, since the above was transmitted, has befallen the highly promising officer in whose company Capt. Best: made the journey described in this narrative. Capt. William Cornwallis Symonds, of the 96th Regt., eldest son of the present Surveyor of the Navy, to whom our naval architecture is so deeply and practically in debtei, after studying, with marked distinction, at the Senior Department of the Royal Military College, pro ceeded to New Zealand, his regithent being stationed in New South Wales, with the appointment of Deputy Surveyor-General, for which he was in every respect qualified. Of his assiduity and intelligence in the dis charge of very.active duties in a region gifted by nature, but as yet imperfectly known, we have recently had proofs in a journal kept by Capt. Symonds, with a pe rusal of which we were favoured - and we have reason to know that his personal popularity was unbounded amongst the New Zealanders, whom 'his manly and humane character materially tended to conciliate and civilize. It is unnecessary to add that he was justly re spected and beloved by the European residents. An act of noble solicitude for one of the latter occasioned his lamented death on the 23d of November last. The wife of a missionary at the settlement being ill, and no medi cal aid at hand, Capt. Symonds, with characteristic feel ing and energy, proceeded himself, at all risks, to a vessel at some distance, to procure the necessary assistance. The weather was rough, the sea ran high, and, on re turning from the . ship, the boat swamped. Poor Symonds —remarkable for his athletic and handsome person— was an expert swimmer, and struck out manfully to gain the shore, some miles distant, with his companion, Mr. Adams, who, after a stout struggle, sank and rose no more. Synson is still persevered, and was long seen buffetting the waves with unsubdued vigour and presence of mind ; but when close to the shore he suddenly dis appeared,— a shark had pulled him down. The monster was taken, and a portion of the remains was found in its stomach. Thus miserably perished one of the finest young men in the British service. Capt. Symonds had, not long before, purchased his company, and paid the difference to come on full pay ; he has found an early grave in the public service, and in the immediate per formance of an act of humanity, at .great personal hazard : it is as case for the favourable consideration of the proper authorities. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. The subject of this month's " Portrait Gallery" is Mr. John Wilson Croker, of whose literary and po litical abilities the biographer speaks in terms of the most preposterous flattery. We are yet to learn what wonders in the way of literature the Right Hon. Gentleman has achieved ; his edition of Bos well's Johnson is certainly a careful, intelligent, and entertaining work; but as for his Talaveras, and his Trafalgars, these poems are long since forgotten, and deservedly so, for there is scarcely a glimmering of fancy or feeling to be found in them. As a poli tician, he has evinced no more sagacity than that which is the almost inevitable result of long practice and experience ; as an orator, he never ranked above the second-rates in Parliament; and in his capacity of Reviewer has exhibited tact and sarcasm, but no powers of a 'higher character. The portrait of Mr. Croker, which accompanies the memoir, is a tolerably faithful likeness, but somewhat too juvenile, for the ex-Secretary to the Admiralty is no chicken, in point of years. Th 3 editor's tale of "Jack Hinton, the Guardsman," is not equal to his " Charles O'Malley," but there are some animated passages in it, and the description of the steeple-chase is quite on a par with the best of Nimnid's sporting sketches in the " Quar terly Review." The " Water-Cure" is a happy expo sure of this humbug, which, as is generally the case, has. made . the fortune of its originator. Undel quaint title 'of " Stray Leaflets from the German Oak," we find one .or two eleiant translations fr om the German. We quote a tanciful poetic version from the original of Wilhelm Mueller : Hark ! the faint bells of. the Sunken City Peal once more their wonted evening•ehime: From the Deep's abysses float a ditty, thi le Wild and wondrous of the olden time. Temples, towers, and domes of many stories There lie buried in an ocean-grave, Undeseried, save when their golden glories Gleam, at sunset, through the lighted wave.

" Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The vote of the French Chamber of Deputies, giving to the Government, in order that the intended reduction in the navy might not be effected, a larger sum than was demanded for the budget of the marine, continues to be the leading topic in the original columns of the Opposition Journals, which regard the vote as a signal defeat of the Ministry. An Algiers letter, of the 20th instant, explains as follows the liberation of the 84 French prisoners who arrived recently at Blidah. The Kalifa in charge of them, finding his provisions run short, proposed to Ab,l-er-Kadsr that the prisoners should be killed, but the Emir replied by ordering them to be released, and sent back to the French army We find in the French Budget for 1841, the following ac count of the number of persons composing the Legion of Honour, and the expense of this institution to the country. The account is made up to October 15, 1'341. There are eighty-two grand crosses, of whom six are without pay; a:O2 grand officers, forty-one of whom are unpaid; 799 commanders, 565 of whom only are paid ; 4,494 officers, 2,151 of whom are unpaid; and 44,101 chevaliers, 'of whom 25,624 are unpaid. The total number of members is 49,678. Of the seventy-six grand crosses w ith pay, five have 20,000 f. each per annum ; one has 15,000 f.; thirty-two have 5,0001. each ; twenty-one have 2,0001. each ; twelve, 1,0001., and live, 2501. Of the paid grand officers, three have 5.000 f. each; sixty, 2,000 f. ; sixty. eight, 1,000 f., and thirty, 250 f. Of the paid officers, 808 have I,ooof. each, and 1,535, 250 f. Of the chevaliers who are paid, one has 1,5001., as being the oldest of the order; all the others have 250 f. each. Taking the population of France at thirty-five millions, and deducting the usual amount for women and children, it is found that one in 350 is a member of the Legion of Honour. The Sentinede des Pyrenees has the following from Ainhoa, May 26 :—‘• The valley of &sten has been reinforced by a battalion of troops, and a movement has taken place amongst, the French troops, the line having been reinforced between Sara and Wham. By a recent order of the day, the Spani , h officers and soldiers are expressly forbidden to enter the French territory, General Harispe having previously issued an order prohibiting French officers and soldiers from entering that of Spain." The advices from the Spanish capital, by telegraphic de spatch are of the 26th ult. The Moniteur thus publishes the news:—"According to the latest accounts from Madrid, M. Surra, the Minister of Fi nance , h as tendered his resignation, which has been accepted. Ihe resignation of 51. Camba, Mi nister of Marine, appears to be certain." A letter from harnburgh says, the number of libraries de stroyed by the fire waa.,eleven, six of which were public esta blishments. To these lossei niust be added the stocks of some booksellers, containing, amongst others, 30,000 volumes of modern German, French, and English works. The total destruction of books, as yet ascertained, amounts to 300,000 volumes. Several collections of scientific objects have perished, particularly one, consisting of 4,000 models of machines be longing to the Patriotic Society, and which were used in the evening and Sunday classes, instituted for the mechanics of the town. 'the same letter gives the following as an estimate of the quantity of merchandise consumed, viz. :-2,000,0001b5. of coffee; 5,000,0001b5. of sugar, three millions of which were refined; 1,200 bales of raw cotton; 350 bales of spun ditto ; 300 tons of Carolina rice; 500 sacks of Java rice ; 100,000.b5. of palm oil ; 500,000 quintals of rape oil ; 1,000 tons of Smyrna currants ; 2,0:10 tons of cheese ; 250 sacks of linseed ; 30,000 pieces of linen; 8,000 casks of claret; 400 pieces of corn and potatoe spirits•, 400 pieces cf ruin and arrack ; 3,000155. of West ladle and American tobacco. The Emperor of Russia, says a letter from St. Petersburgh, 16th instant, has sanctioned the forniation of a Csmmittee to receive subscriptions in Lid of the c:ty of Hamburgh. A sub scription has already been opened at Riga for this purpose. The Ileketie states that subscriptions in favour of the suf ferers from the fire at Hamburgh hare been opened in nearly all tLe Swiss cantons. The official tables of the duties received by the Customs Union of Germany, for the year 1841, give the following re sults :—The general receipt for Prussia amounts to 14,701,856 crowns ; being 500,833 more than in 1810. Bavaria, 1,681,171 crowns; an increase of 160,977. Saxony, 1,878,177 crowns; a decrease of 186,972. Wurtemburg, 474,449 crowns; an increase of 30,914. Baden, 846,364 crowns; a decrease of 38,666. Electoral Hesse, 408,673 (Towns ; an increase of 40,960. Grand Duchy of Hesse, 515,415 crowns ;an increase of 66,893. Thuringen, 348,213 crowns ;an increase of 6,712. Nassau, 34,142 crowns; an increase of 2,921. Frankfort, 1,026,461 crowns; an increase of 36,171. Consequently, the receipts of 1841 amounted to 21,915,921 crowns, and in 18 iO, to 21,293,232, showing an increase of 622,689 crowns. 'I he above receipts were for a population of 27,142;323, thus di vided :—Prussia and her dependencies, as given by the census in 1840, 15,159,031 ; Bavaria, 4,365,586 ; Saxony, 1,706,276; Wurtemberg, 1,703.258; Baden, 1,294,131 ; Electoral Hesse, 666,280 ; Grand Duchy of Hesse, 820,907 ; Union of Thurin gen, 952,421 ; Duchy of Nassau, 393,095 ; Free town of Frank tort, 66,338. Whole villages.. including the rich as well as the poor, ate emigrating (says a letter from Mentz), from Germany to North America. Three of those in Upper Hesse have, within these few months, been entirely aband ,, ned, and several in Rhenish Prussia are preparing to follow the example. A short time ago the whole population of one of these villages passed through Menta on its way to America, iccompamed by its pastor and its schoolmaster. P.ELIIMIAIVIENTARY. The Income-tax Bill was last night carried up to the Lords, and read a first time. It is to be read a second time this day week. Lord Kinnaird moved for a Committee to inquire into the general distress ; but after the Duke of Wellington had made a few objections to the motion, the Noble Lord withdrew it. Their Lordships sat till nearly Nine o'Clock. The Commons did not make a house. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times remarks, with reference to the recent attempt on the Queen's life :—" We cannot but feel pleased and proud of the warm feelings which this attempt has every where called forth. East and west—Parliament and working men's classes'—the levee and the theatres—we are happy to see vie with each other in the display of enthusiasm towards the person of our Queen, and indignation at the atrocious and deliberate attempt which has been so providentially frustrated. And on this, now, one word. Nothing, of course, could be inore cruel or unjust than to allow our zeal for the personal safety of our Sovereign to transport us into the infliction of a punish ment not authorised by the laws of the land or natural justice. If there is (or, rather, were) any doubt as to the deliberate intention of this miscreant to perpetrate the alleged crime, he should, of course, have the benefit of that doubt. If it becomes clear by the evidence on the trial that be is really beside him self, let him be dealt with accordingly. It is a belief we would gladly indulge in—it is the belief which first suggests itself on the mention of a crime so apparently devoid of motive. At the same time none would deprecate more strongly than our selves the entering on this investigation with any determina tion to pardon—none would more entirely abhor that fatal promise of impunity which an over lenient procedure in this instance would hold out to all those whose vanity or discontent, exaggerated into a kind of moral madness, may tempt them to similar unnatural attempts. If it is not a clear wrong, it is an imperative duty to make an example." The Post has a mischievous, insidious article, the object of which is to sow the seeds of discord between this country and France. Our Contemporary comment:es as follows:—" The snore or less immediate withdrawing of the respective Ambas sadors from the Courts of St. James's and the Tuileries—how ever it may be disguised under the denomination of temporary leaves of absence—is an incident which must follow from the present state of relations betwixt Engiand and France. How ever much the proceedings of our neighbours may partake of comedy—of electoral and party comedy—the results are too serious to be buttered over by the flattering unction of words, however honeyed, or to be disguised by all the attitudes and pirouttes of diplomatic courtesy. The King, the Government, and all men of sense, true dignity, and patriotism in France, are overpowered, and the noblest and truest-hearted, and withal the most gifted statesman our neighbours can boast of, is reduced to that conduct with which Cicero stigmatised Ca taline—' Crejuslibet rei simulator et dissimulator!' The ascendancy ot that great man gone, the body politic is left to the mercy of the vermin of revolution—to the parasitic rep tiles who revel in the morbid humours ot corrupted states. Our grievances against France are palpable and flagrant." The Chronicle, in an ably reasoned article, suggested by the Bishop of Canada's exclusion from the church ot a monument to the memory of a distinguished British officer, merely because he did not receive the sacrament according to the forms of the Church of England, observes :—" The exclusion, be it ob served, does not rest on alleged immorality in the deceased. In the case in question there is no such allegation, but most honourable testimony to the contrary. Nor does it rest on any impropriety in an inscription. That is provided for by the regulation that every inscription shall be subject to the pre vious inspection and approval of the clergyman, It turns solely mid barely on the fact of non-participation in the sacra mental ceremony as performed in the Church o f England. Monumental honours are to be confined to orthodox communi cants. And is this the mode in which the country ought to deal with those who devote their faculties and lives to its ser vice, and who die in that service, afar from their friends and home? One, by his courage in colonial service, may strike down the banner of rebellion or roll back the tide of invasion ; another, by his wisdom, may heal the discord of parties, and establish the reign of loyalty in the hearts of alienated millions; and a third, by enterprise and philanthrophy, may enlarge the region and empire of civilised life, reclaiming the savage and the wilderness : but in the scene of their deeds and their death, where their deserts might claim statues at the public expense, the honour of a monument is denied because they did not take the sacrament according to the rules of the Church of England. This is alike unjust to the nation's servants, and disgraceful to the nation's character. The country is dishonoured by any busy, meddling priest' who thus interposes with the pitiful posthumous persecution dictated by his sectarian peculiarities. We trust the Bishop of Canada will yet be taught, notwith standing the haughty pretension of the metropolitan prelate, that he is responsible to the Legislature of his country." :The.lierald has the following remarks on the coal mono poly t--`• With respect, however, to the countries of the Baltic. we re -assert that a duty of 4s. on all coal exported thereto, would be beneficial to the revenue—would be beneficial to the British manufacturer—and would be beneficial even to the coal owner. Whatever may be advanced by or for coal proprietors in support of what is supposed to be their interests, we cannot get over the following broad facts. The best manufacturing coals are laid down in St. Petersburgh, Stettin, Hamburgh, Copenhagen, sfee., at considerably less, freight included, than one half the price at which they are laid down in any town on the coast of England, even though it should be satiated within thirty, or even twenty miles from the great coal-mining dis tricts ! The coals sent along our own coast are supplied to the foreign consumer at much less than the prime cost to the coal owner, and the freight is less than pays the shipowner for na vigating his vessel. This inconceivably preposterous state of things arises, as we have before explained, from the combina tion of the northern coalowners—of which union the operation is.to adjust the quantity of coal allowed to be sold to the home consumer within a limit far below the powess of each mining establishment, and thereby to greatly keep up domestic prices." The Advertiser says—" The complicated system of injustice and wrong which is at present working its fatal results in the misery of the industrious classes and th exorbitant luxury of the aristocracy, will remain wholly untouched by the measures of the Peel Ministry. Although that injustice and wrong has been fully recognised by the Premier, and the showing of more righteous principles has been adopted, yet the deep curse that grinds down the operative is unremoved. With an affectation of cordiality and frankness the wily Premier puts on the pro fessions of truth and justice, and assumes the guise of honesty and liberality, only to deceive his opponents, while he more securely fences round the atrocious system of aristocratic plun der, and fastens it more tenaciously upon the vitals of the People. That he kno's s and admits what is right, only aggra vates the iniquity of his course in committing the wrongs that he does." Ex.racrrONEICIZING. On Tuesday the Reform and Tory candidates addressed the electors of Ipswich, both parties urging on them activity anti vigilance in inusteting at the poll on Friday. The case of brawling, brought by Burder against the Rev. Wm. Langley, perpetual curate of Wheatley, chfnr4,.!as gain opened before the Arches Court on Wednesday. The Rev Defendant entered on hs defence, but the arguments will nOt be resumed till next session. NAVAL AND IMILITATLY. The Lord Lowther transport has just sailed fo China, laden with upwards of a thousand tons of bread for the use of the naval and military force there. She also carries out several of the flat-bottomed boats required for service in the Chinese rivers. Major Wathen, one of the military knights of Windior, was placed on the upper foundation on Tuesday last, in the room of Captain Skelton, deceased. UAW AND PO-LICE. Thomas North was on Wednesday brought up for final exami nation at the Mansion-house, on the charge of obtaining upwards of 440 prints upon false pretences, the- property of Anne Tre gear and Thomas Cramp Lewis, the print-sellers in Cheap side. The case was fully made out, and the prisoner committed for trial.
