One day I was searching the library closet, Where many old documents formed a deposit; And having examined the contents awhile, I happened to meet with my father's old file. 'Twas loaded with papers refer• ing to trade, And I'm happy to say that the bills were all paid. For my father did things in a straightforward style, As proved by the swarms of receipts on his file. You'll not be surprised that among the amounts I should meet with a number of tailors' accounts. The bill of a tailor I found in the pack, Which my father had settled just twenty years back ; So, thinks I to myself, I will give it a quiz, And see what the price on the document is. • - COAT, WAISTCOAT, AND TROWSERS Were in And the price was enough to make any named one ill he bill, I cannot remember the sum to a fraction, But really it wasn't an honest transaction ; A llvy n b d tah l wo couldn't „I drea t help intao do thinkingmodern na ata suiti tailors—E. s h iw o w t}i much had been done M e ye O ry SE fi S rs a t n s d ty S le ON, For_ e half the ma amount on my father's old file. The next was a bill thatvlawr destroy, m ou y l s d e n l ' f t whaa a A JUVENILgEazSUaTI,Tta were trash, cash, Now I recollect well that th Yet oh, what a hole did the e*boy. I thought when I put back the m bill o i n a .1 How MOSES would wonder—how MOSESe .After this I examined a bill for would smile. A HAT, And I saw that ny daddy was diddled in that. • And sans did I feel that E. MOSES and SON, For very much less would provide him with one— Not one such as that on my father's old file, But a thoroughly beatitiful durable tile. A PAIR OF NEW BOOTS For my father's own feet, Was another affair which I happened to meet. And again did I find that the purchase was one At variance far with E. MOSES and SON. A MUFF AND A CAPE Were the next things I saw, And believe me, I couldn't help calling out " la For I knew that the ladies at MOSES' are able For half such a sum to obtain the best sable. Many other bills also I here came across, Which proved that the goods had been bought at a loss. THE HOSIERY GOODS Whose amounts I inspected, Plainly proved what E. MOSES and SON have effected. Z.

" Ne. 208, Piccadilly, London, October 19, 1847, ' - Sir,—lt is now three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and REtEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severs cases taken them himself, and they preyed very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and•to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. _ " I trust you will give publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know how to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, " MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic Ms, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to theta a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact; such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences of its benign influence. Sold by Thomas Profit, 229, Strand, London, and, by his appoint- ment, by all respectable Medioine Vendors throughout the United Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box. Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe the name and address of " Thomas Prout, 229, Strand, London," im pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the Genuine Medicine. A R R I A G E. One half the worid are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, er a ,ense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ern , tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea et caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, Lind broken health, are the great hindrances is domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little lEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., le. each (by vest, in stamps, is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindereu oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining Caere. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but ter the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put „forth en the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or ogether, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other 'ale publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Efappy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live atter nature's laws—and to keep always en the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of Sherwood, 23, Paterncster-row ; Carvalho, 147, Fleet-street • Mann, 39, Cornhlll ; Nelson, 457, West Strand; sr direct (by post or other wise) from the anther (who may be conferred with personally, mornings and evenings), 10; Argyll-plaee Regent-street; and all Booksellers.

Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how massy could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments.

It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, ho forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes 'of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. Lit'beEßT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas cot: r, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a gateasttee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

LIVERPOOL, FEE. 17.—The arrivals of most articles of the grain trade the last few days have been liberal; at the same time the demand has been inactive. There was a fair attend ance of millers and dealers at yesterday's market. Wheat and Sour were in moderate request, at an abatement on Tuesday's rates of Id per bushel on the former, and sixpence per barrel and sack on four. Oats wer e saleable at full prices, but oat meal was easier to buy. Egyptian beans were sixpence per qr cheaper. Barley and peas were in limited request. There was a fair sale fur Indian corn, at a small concession on Tues day's price. Nothing passing in the trade, and prices remain as quoted yesterday. s. d. 8. d Wheat, per 701 b : English, white .. 7 3 to 7 7 Do. red.. .. 6 9 7 2 Irish, new .. 6 0 6 4 Do., old .. 6 4 6 7 Dantsie.. .. 7 6 7 8 Do., good mixed 7 0 7 4 Lowerßaltie,white 7 0 7 3 e. d. s. d Barley,Feeding.. 3 6 to 3 9 Rye, per 4801 b .. 0 0 0 0 Beans, English, pr imperial quartr 34 0 36 0 Irish and Scotch, per 4801 b.. .. 31) 0— 31 0 Foreign,, duty pd. 25 6 26 0 European, per im- red.. 610 •• 6 6 7 5 6 6 6 11 Do.

Facto r,s, however, have not exhibited any anxiety to force sales, as the stocks of the article are generally in a very moderate compass, and a revival in the demand is consequently anticipated shortly. Oatmeal was in limited request at the previous currency. We have again to notice a tolerably fair supply of malt coastwise, and of oats and oatmeal from Ireland into Liverpool and Runcorn ; but trifling of other articles from those sources. The foreign importations consist of a large arrival of wheat, fair of beans and Indian corn, and only scanty of other produce. At our market this morning wheat receded in value Id to 2d per 701 h. Flour must likewise be noted 6d to Is per sack lower than on this day se'nnight, at which reduction buyers came forward more freely, and a fair consumptive business occurred. Oats and oatmeal met an exceedingly slow sale, and were each the turn cheaper. SIIEFFIELD, FEB. 13.—The following is the inspector' return : Qrs. Bis. £ s. d. £ 1. d.

Tn ASSASSINATIONS AT STANFIRLD•NALL. ..--- WYMONDRAM, FRIDAY NIORT.--The late housekeeper of the accused murderer Rush, who is known as the Widow James, but whose real name is Emily Sandford, a single woman, was last night confined of a female child in the Bridewell prison of this town, where she has been kept since the committal of Rush, to ensure her attend ance at the trial. In the event of her recovery, Rush's trial will in all probability bake place at the latter end of next month, at the ensuing assizes. Rush occasions con siderable uneasiness amongst the authorities at Norwich Castle by his restless conduct and the singular requests he is constantly making. He has instructed a solicitor to retain a leading counsel of the Norfolk Circuit to assist him in points of law that may arise in the course of his trial, but it is understood that he has been unable to ob tain one on the conditions imposed, Rush intending to conduct his own case throughout the trial, which, on ac count of the number of the witnesses, it is likely to ex tend over two or three days. The prosecution will be conducted by Mr. Sergeant Bylos and Mr. Prendergast. We regret to state that Mrs. Jermy has not yet reco vered from her wounds. Portions of the elbow bone have been found to have been shot away. She continues at Stunfield-hall.—Uhscrver. EPSOM, SATURDAY.—The investigation into the charge of rape by Miss Maria O'Grady against Mr. Robert Bartlett, solicitor, was proceeded with. This morning Mr. Bartlett arrived at Epsom by an early train, in custody of Mr. Keene, Governor of Horse monger-lane Prison, a habeas having issued on the appli cation of the aceused's bail to permit his appearance. Mr. Gosse officiated us chairman of the bench. Mr. Borthwick said the course he would now venture to suggest was that the deposition of the prosecutrix should be read over. This having been done, he would ask for the immediate committal of the accused. Mr. Gosse—lt is quite clear that the remand took place on one particular point of the prosecutrix's testi mony, and that was one of great importance. The prosecutrix stated that she had mentioned the circum stance of which she complains to Mr. Bartlett's ser vant maid, Mary Morris, the morning after the al leged occurrence took place. That being the case, as she is here, I certainly think we had much better have her examined. The witness was her introduced. Mary Ann Morris—l am twenty-nine years of age, and reside at No. 5, Adelaide-place, Bayswater. I have lived in the service of Mr. Bartlett, of Epsom. I lived with him nearly tour months, from July to the 30th of October last. I knew Mi ss O'G ra dy. I first saw her about a month before I l e f t M r. Bartlett ' s service. She came to reside there at that time. Shortly before [left I remember Mrs. Bartlett going away into the country for two days. She went away on Thursday morning and returned on the evening of the next day. Iremember seeing Miss O'Grady in her bedroom on the Thursday evening alluded to. I went up stairs with her. There was some inquiry about the key of her bedroom door on likely she had put it that ntiigmhet: she lt remarked d rk n e o d t tbehaftoajennd., ' After looking for it some away with some other keys which she had. I left her in the bedroom, and returned down stairs. My bedroom was en the floor above Miss O'Grady's room, but not immediately over it. I first saw her the next morning in her bedroom, about eight o'clock. I went there to call her. She was up and dressed. She did not name anything in particular to me at that time. Miss O'Grady never at that, or any subsequent time, made any complaint to me as to the conduct of Mr. Bartlett to her. Another servant girl, named E m il y H ew i t t , slept in the house on the night in suestion. She was not in Mr. Bartlett's service, but, being out of a situa tion, had obtained permission to sleep with me. When I made Mr. Bartlett's bed on Friday morning I observed certain circumstances, leading me to an impression that two persons must have slept in it. (The witness bore described that one of Mr. Bartlett's sheets 'bore the ap pearance of having been washed out and rough dried.) Cross-examined by Mr. Owen—The footman Slept in the house on Thursday night. He went to bed about ten o'clock. Myself and Emily Hewitt, the other female servant, went to bed about half-past twelve o'clock. Some conversation passed between us previously on. the subject of the missing key. I did not charge Maria O'Grady with anything on the Friday morning. I saw something which led me to believe that somebody had slept in Mr. Bartlett's bed besides himself. I did not make Miss O'Grady's bed on the Friday morning, but from its appearance, I do not think she had slept in it on the previous night. I asked Miss O'Grady to come down to breakfast on Friday morning. She said she would come as soon as Mr. Bartlett was down. Mrs. Bartlett did not sleep out any other night while I lived there except the Thursday. By Mr. Borthwick—l have been brought here by a gentleman whom I now point out. (The witness here pointed to Mr. Owen's clerk.) Miss O'Grady's room was in by a doorenteredf o r p om ening shorta nnth P which was itself closed bolted on the outside by, Miss C'Grady's request, when a e ss landing. a This door I had g the key of her room could not in found. For that rea son I know she could. not have left her room to sleep with any one that night, unless the bolt had been with drawn by some person outside. It was quite possible for this to hare been done. I did not go to bed until about half-past 12 o'clock, after which I slept soundly. Miss O'Grady first spoke to me about her key. I afterwards went with her to Mr. Bartlett's bedroom. She asked him about it. He said he knew nothing of it. We left Me. Bartlett's room together. Miss O'Grady went to her own room and I bolted her in. Cross examined by. Mr. Owen—Mr. Bartlett himself asked me to re-wash the sheet of which I have spoken. When I went into Miss O'Grady's bedroom with her on the Thursday night I offered to assist her in taking off her dress. She declined my assistance, and said she wished to sit up to read a book she had. There was considerable hesitation about the manner of this witness in her replies to the various •questions pro posed to her, and. Mr. Borthwick made some strong ob servations as to the unworthiness of her testimony in consequence. The Bench, however, seemed to be of opinion that her peculiarity of 'Renner arose more from stupidity than any other cause. • Emily Clara Hewitt said—l resieo at No. 116, Church street, Lambeth, and am a servant out of place. I was lately living in service, at Epsom, with Mr. Joseph Har rison, corn-dealer. I was in the habit of going occa sionally to see Mrs. Bartlett. When I left Mr. Harri son's service I went to Mr. Bartlett's the same evening. I slept there that night with Mary Anne Morris. I had previously lived for a week with Mrs. Bartlett, and left on account of ill health. Mary said Miss O'Grady had asked her to ask Mr. Bartlett for the key of her room; that she had done so, and that he made answer, "Ho had not seen it," adding " what did he want to do with her key?" About ta oin the morning Mary Morris woke me, and told me that she had hoard a noise of some one walking across the passage; that she had got up and looked over the banister, and saw Mr. Bartlett in his night shirt, with a glass of spirits and water in his hand. Nothing further passed that night, but in the morning Mary asked me if I knew anything that had occurred between Mr. Bartlett and Mtp O'Grady. I said no, I did not. Nothing more passed until about ten o'clock, when Mr. Bartlett rang for some hot water. Mary took up four or five jugs of hot rater to him. I said to her, " I wonder what Mr. Bartlett can do with all that water." She replied, "We shall soon know." Shortly after the bell rang again, and I took up another jug of hot water to Mr. Bartlett. Soon after that Miss O'Grady came down stairs. On entering the kit chen, she asked Mary what did Mr. Bartlett want with so much hot water? Mary replied, "I do not know; of course you know beat about it." Miss O'Grady made no reply, and went up stairs, and Mary and myself went up stairs to make the beds. We made Mr. Bartlett's bed first. We could not tell whether more than one had slept in the bed, as Mr. Bartlett always slept on the mattress. The under sheet had been washed out, but was still damp. We afterwards went to Miss O'Grady's bedroom. Miss O'Grady had previously told us in the kitchen that she had made her bed lerself, and asked us to be good enough to lay it straight. Wo opened a closet in Miss O'Grady's room, and there found a night dress. (The witness here gave etch a description as would lead to the presumption that Miss O'Grady had passed the night with Mr. Bartlett). I remained at Mr. Bartlett's two nights, and left on the following morning. Mrs. Bartlett came home on t h e F r i cay even ing beforei left. Before Mr. Bartlett went out to meet Mrs. Bartlett on the Friday night, he called Maty on one side, and asked her to be so good as to iron ott the sheet from off his bed. She subsequently took the iron up-stairs, and I ironed it whilst she held it. Mr. Birtlett came into the room while we were so engaged, ffe did not say any thing; he merely laughed. Cross-examined by Mr. Owen—Tie missing key wa s found by Mary Morris, on the Friday siorning, down by_ Miss O'Grady's room. When Miss O'Grady came into the kitchen I asked her if she knew anything about the damp sheet. She said " No." She did not appear dis concerted at the question. Mr. Borthwice—l do not wish to distress you or ex cite your feelings in any way, but I am obliged to put this question. From observations which you have made yourself are you of opinion that Mr. Bartlett was a man capable of the offence with which lie is charged? Witness—l am of that opinion. Mr. Owen—Did Mr. Bartlett and Miss O'Grady ap pear to be on terms of familiarity and friendly inter course on the Friday ? Witness —Yes, Sir, they did. Richard Kennedy, sergeant of the metropolitan police, and acting superintendent of the Epsom district, proved having served the last witness with a summons on the lath of the present month at 116, Church -street, Lam beth. He took notes of her statement to him, and now handed in a fair copy of the notes. At the request of Mr. Borthwick this statement was here read for the purpose of showirg that there was a considerable discrepancy between her evidence given be fore the Bench, and what:the witness stated in the first instance to the police-sergeant. The witness defended herself by stating that she had forgotten several circumstances whet questioned by Ser geant Kennedy, which she load since recollected. Mr. Owen hero handed a letter to Kennedy, and in quired whether he knew Miss O'Grady's handwriting. Kennedy said he had seen her sign her name, but could not swear to the letter in question. The following is a copy of the letter which is stated to have been addressed by .Mies O'Grady to Mrs. Bartlett, after the return of the former from Liverpool : " My dear Mrs. Bartlett—You w:ll be astonished to hear that lam in Epsom since last aight.

GLASGOW, SATURDAY NIGHT.—About a quarter to eight this evening an alarm of fire was given in the upper gallery of the Theatre Royal, Dunlop-street, which was, as usual on a Saturday, very crowded in that part of the house. In their efforts to escape down the narrow spiral staircase, which form the only means of egress from the gallery, 50 or 53 people, men, women, and children, were crushed and smothered to death. The sufferers were all of the working classes. As the same state of alarm did 'not exist in the other parts of the house, the remainder of the audience kept their seats until they were enabled to disperse at their leisure. The alarm of fire was first given in the front of the upper gallery; and the cause of the fire was a leak in the gas-pipe, the gas from which was exploded by a lucifer match used by some one to light his pipe. Scarcely any damage was done to the theatre. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. On Saturday evening, about half-past seven o'clock, one of the most fearful catastrophsa .that ever, occurred in Scotland took place in the Theatre Royal, Dunlop street. Very shortly after the performance had com menced an alarm was given that a fire had broken out in the upper gallery, and at a matter of course the audi ence, which was numerous in the gallery, became much excited. It was soon apparent to the manager that the fire had been occasioned by an explosion of gas, and he, to gether with the members of his company, used their utmost exertions to restore order, in which they par tially succeeded. Meanwhile, however, the alarm bad been conveyed to the central police-offices, and the fire brigade were very soon at the theatre, and immediately commenced operations, which had the effect of increasing the fears of the people, and a general rush was made to the door, in order to escape from the fire, which had in fact been previously extinguished. Despite all remon strance the people would be out, and the result was the premature death of sixty-four individuals, besides four more or less injured. It would be vain to attempt to convey any idea of the scene which the theatre pre sented at the time of 'the accident; that can be better imagined than expressed. The authorities were very soon at the theatre, and, while assistance was being procured, the gallery stair was ascended, when at one of the land ing places was discovered a scene of the most . horrifying description —men, womee,and children huddled together, trodden under loot, dead, and dying. The poor crea tures were carried to houses adjoining, and every exer tion used to restore animation, but, unfortunately, these exertions were in but few instances successful. Sixty one were dead, and three sent to the Royal. Infirmary; two died upon the way, and one shortly after. Eleven persons, slightly bruised, were able to be removed to their homes, arld others are still in the infirmary in a dangerous state. •The sixty-one dead bodies were, in the course of the evening, removed to the Clyde-street Hospital, and there kept till Sunday morning for iden tification. About ten o'clock the authorities were at the hospital, and it was arranged, to satisfy the relatives of the poor creatures who had been waiting in hundreds around the hospital during the night, to admit them. The bodies were spread out on the floor of the largo shed, and when each relative, father, mother, wife, or other friends were recognised, their shrieks rent the air. One woman claimed three as her own. 'Without scarcely a single exception the sufferers belong to the lower class of society, and are for the most part lads between 14 and 17 years old; the enly female amongst the dead was one girl three years of age. A gloom has been cast over the city by the fearful occurrence, which it will require some time to dissipate. The theatre has sustained no damage from burning, as the flame of the gas•pipe was almost instantly extin guished. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. (From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons.) NOTICES GIVEN AT THE PRIVATE BILL OFFICE. SATURDAY, rms. 17. The following petitions against the undermentioned Pri vate Bills were deposited : Lancaster and Carlisle Railway (from the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway at Lancaster, to the Preston and Wyre Railway, &c.) Bill—from the Company of Proprietors of the Lancaster Canal Navigation. Lancaster and Preston Junction Railway (Junction with the East Lancashire Railway in Preston, and Amendments of Acts) Bill—from the Company of Proprietors of the Lancaster Canal Navigation.

Tyne River Conservancy Bill—from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. THE SERPENTINE.—The level of the Serpentine has been lowered several feet, with the intention, it is supposed, of effecting a cleansing of the bed from the foulness with which it is at present contaminated, and the portion of the river beyond the bridge, and in KOPP singtsn-gardens, has been almost drained dry for a simi lar purpose. The north bank of the Serpentine was crowded with pedestrians on Sunday in consequence of the remarkable splendour of the day; and, in conse quence of the decrease of water, the pathway was con siderably enlarged, and was the subject of general notice. It is proposed for the river to be completely emptied, and a hard substance of brick or other material formed at the bottom, and that it should subsequently consist of a clear running :treats, of a few feet of water in depth only, similar to th. I,ftsin in the bireen Park, next to Piccadilly. This would have the effect of invigorating the visitors, and furnish all the necessary means for ab lution in the summer, and skating in the winter months, without the present vompaniment of foul collections and pestilential vapours, which have so long and justly been the subject of general complaint. At the time of these improvements of the Serpentine being effected, it will be well for the Department of the Woods and Fo rests to turn their attention to the state of the promenade along the north bank of the river, and between it and the carriage road. It is now the chief and most fashion able point for promenading, and is nevertheless in a very uneven and uncomfortable state, and may as well, at the same time that it is improved in that particular, be con siderably widened for the comfort and convenience of the public. ARRIVALS ov SPECIE.—The following arrivals of specie have just taken place from the ports and countries mentioned:—The ship Persia, arrived from Calcutta and the Cape of Good Hope, respectively, brought from the Cape 13 bags and 3 casks of copper, and 1 parcel and 6 boxes of specie, consigned to order, and also 3 boxes of specie addressed to two commercial firms in the metro polis; the Ann Bridson, from Valparaiso, 660 bags of silver ore and 33 tons of copper regulus, consigned to a commercial house; the Orkney Lass, from Jamaica, 4 packages of copper, individually addressed; the Princess Royal, from Hamburgh, 7 casks of nickel specie, ad dressed to a metropolitan firm; the vessel Vicar of Bray, from Huanachaca, Iquique, and Islay, has brought from the latter place 107 packages of gold and silver, consigned to a firm of commercial eminence in the me tropolis; and the vessel Heroine, from Algoa Bay, has brought one box of specie, individually addressed, and also 1 box and 1 other parcel of specie, consigned to a firm in the metropolis.

TIMES.—As far as they go, the Ministerial measures for Ireland are characterised by undeniable necessity, simple justice, and plain common sense. If the praise is great, the qualification is as great as the praise. A crisis may be net, a catastrophe averted, and an imperfection set right, without any positive step in that bold and mas terly policy which all history tells us is necessary to re generate the mind and manners and condition of a people. The present time may or may not he the golden oppor tunity. Perhaps a spontaneous, or, we should say, a Pro vidential decay and dissolution of Irish society is not the time for its reconstruction. Perhaps the hour when one set of agitators is in prison and the other in contempt, when pauper tenants arc throwing lip their holdings and pauper landlords their estates, and when myriads arc flying across the A tlantic, is not that which calls fur vigorous and prospective legis lation. Perhaps nothing of this 'sort is rosily positive, and the comprehensive measures which :present themselves in so bright but undefined a form to the imaginations of unoilicisl men may be empty and delusive dreams. We only observe that such mea sures there are not in this instance. What we have is very good as far as it goes. The grant of 50,000/. is necessary and will not go far. The lion. Member for Middlesex has computed, on we know not what grounds, that it will be exhausted in one fortnight. Mr. Disraeli, following the Hon. Member for Stroud, assumes, on the authority of one of the papers before the House, that 592,0861. is the calculated expense of maintaining the population in the twenty-one suffering unions. But the case is not quite so bad as these gentlemen seem to ima gine. This portentous figure does not represent the ex penditure of one year, for it includes old debts to the amount of 84,3801. Nor is it to be supposed that the re maing 507,7061. is likely to fall upon the public this year, or did fall upon the public the last. In fact, 199,0231. of it was defrayed by rates actually collected in the unions; the whole of the amount advanced in aid by the British Association or by Government being 237,2301. The case, therefore, is much more hopeful than it ap• peered through the gloomy medium of Friday's debate. Indeed, we are bound to say that we have never seen so much reason to congratulate the country as we find in the papers just presented to Parliament. They deter mine within manageable limits the locality and the amount of Irish distress; and prove that our legislators can " tackle" it, if they choose. According to the Minis terial measures, two or three annual grants of 50,0004 are the very utmost to be demanded from the Imperial Exchequer. If that be all, England will have no great reason to complain, and will not complain unless pro voked to it by her Irish calumniators. In these 21 dis tressed unions the annual deficiency to be met by ex ternal aid is considerably under 300,0001. There are in other parts of Ireland some electoral districts very crowded and distressed ; but 350,000/. is probably a full estimate of the assistance necessary to carry all the distressed localities of Ireland through this fourth winter of famine. And now comes the ques tion,—how is this sum to be raised? Government pro ceeds on the path of precedent, common feeling, and common sense, by proposing to raise it on the ancient principle of a rate in aid. The proposal is, that when the rates of the electoral division shall exceed ss. in the pound, the surplus shall be collected from the unions at large ; and when this union rate in aid shall exceed 2s. in the pound, the surplus shall be collected from Ireland at large; and when this Irish rate in aid shall exceed 6d, in the pound, the surplus shall be paid from the Imperial Exchequer. Thus the poor-rate of no one electoral dis trict will be able to exceed 7s. 6d. For the present it is not intended to ask for this sixpenny rate on the landed property of Ireland for more than two years. It will probably realise from 250,000/. to 300,000/.; and even if the present distress should continue, would only leave about 100,0001. to be ,contributed by Govern ment. We think we can answer for the peo ple of England, that if they see Ireland first doing its utmost, by the collection of an Irish rate, they will not grudge the further sum required from the Exchequer. But, on the other hand, as the Irish Members are already showing themselves restive at the idea of an Irish rate, we must beg to remind them that Ireland is still financially distinct from this country. Not only land, but all property, and even all income in this island, pays a sevenpenny rate to the extraordinary necessities of the empire, including the necessities of the Irish crisis, Complaints are already made against the collection of an Irish rate upon land only. Unfortu nately Ireland does not possess the machinery for a pro perty-tax; and it would not answer to create such ma chinery for an impost only asked for two years. Some of the other propositions brought before the Select Com mittee on Thursday are of such evident utility that they scarcely call for a word of remark. The periodical va luation of property, in lieu of one ad libitum, is so rea sonable that we cannot believe the latter to have been practised to a considerable extent. As for the emigration rate and the emigration powers extended to the rate payers and guardians of particular electoral districts, we only hope they will be turned to some account; but, as Irish guardians and rate-pavere have unlormly exhi bited a determination to speria,ns little money as possible, and never to act in concert for any good purpose, we wholly despair of ever seeing them subscribe for emi gration. The proposed addition of fifty now unions is a change absolutely required by the practice of relief to able-bodied poor. The unions were much two large even for the former imperfect and niggardly syst,em of:relief. What must be thought of an arrangement which made it a common thing fora poor creature to walk thirty miles to the nearest union -house, with the chance of rejection; and under which one man actually walked 150 miles backwards and forwards before he was ultimately admit ted? Want of funds will prevent the immediate construc tion of workhouses for the new unions; so that meanwhile it will be necessary to hire such buildings as may do for the purpose. We must confess to some serious misgiv ings as to one piece of indulgence submitted by Lord John Russell to the Irish Committee. It is that boards of guardians may be empowered to excuse incoming tenants from payment of arrears of poor-rate, which had accrued on property not occupied during the previous twelve months. The reason for this indulgence is, that the enormous arrears of rate now due on farms and tenements in many parts of Ireland deter tenants from hiring or occupying them, as they are liable to a dis traint on their property for the arrears. But why give up the arrears altogether? Why excuse the landlord for the sake of the tenant? The landlord will only have to leave his land idle for a twelvemonth, and he will be quit of all arrears. Would not the same object be an swered by the board of guardians declaring the arrears a permanent debt on the land, to be recovered as the Legislature may hereafter see proper, and simply giving the new tenant as assurance that he, his stock, and Air produce, will be respected? It must never be forgotten that the Irish landowners are responsible for the state of things which preceded the famine, and which have, so fearfully aggravated its horrors. They must not be let off. The laud is the proper lien for all the rates due from it, and we are not disposed to release it from the full discharge of its duties. POST.—It seems that the adventurer of Boulogne and Strasbourg, the prisoner of Ham, the fox-hunter of Leamington, and the special constable of London, is de termined to be not only the ruler of a mighty nation, but the liaroun al Raschid of the 19th century. There is more in Louis Napoleon—not than we have:said there was, for his actions but justify our recorded anticipa tions—but there is more in him than many of his well wishers bad hoped, or any of his enemies had dreaded. The Liberte, in the passage which we quoted last week, places his character in perhaps the fairest, light in which it has hitherto drawn public attention, but in a light quite conformable to the expectations and estimate con ceived of the Prince. President by all who personally knew him. There have often been rulers, since Diony sius the elder of Syracuse, who have made it their busi ness to prowl incognito through their capitals, from motives of cruel suspicion, and for the sake of personal espial. There have been others who have played the maskers for the sake of adventure ana excitement, in the history of many a great modern country; and there not only have been a third class of Sovereigns who have done the same in order to gratify their abominable lusts, but, alas ! there is, even in the broad daylight of this journal-watched age, a monarch of that execrable kiud—and a woman, too— whose pranks, orgies, midnight prowlings, back-door ad ventures, and transparently vieled addiction to systematic indecency, are the shame of an old and once glorious throne. Meantime Louis Napoleon's amusements in,the moments ot leisure which are snatched from important and earnest labours set an example of another sort. In business, not a holiday or make-believe sinecurist, but a diligent and genuine workman, he is, when released from it, a brave gentleman and a true man on every occapion —one who knows how to give delight among the great. the wealthy, and the refined, and to obtain it a mong the lowly, the destitute, and the despairing.. Our incident readers will have remarked the little i just which has , suggested the observations sbv4:nhave_n made. A poor woman had lost he r husband wdhileh thatet terrible insurrection, to the suppression e xalted posl- ' June Louis Napoleon owes tion. She was now left with five offtiaese children was but presentchildren in a state of starvation, and the eldest o ten years old. Hearing that thenephewiinte l Dieu,of the sh 0 French ch a paper:—" The Emperor had come to visit the on a s friend to write these words wife of an insurgent killed at the b e a r r a zta o d f es, the daughter of an old soldier, the mother of i five children She , re lives duced to s t arv ation, has no hop l e ft but n yeu. a gel nun d ro , fella rue. ' She threw these lines into tho car riage, while it was standingin the Place Notr e D ame, perceived and the Princ e th e pa per only ju s t w h en h e alight i ng a fterwards at th eElysio. The res t we was again let the L iberte relate in its own graphic words: "The following day a private carriage stopped in front of the house indicated in the paper, and a gentleman having made some inquiries in the neighbourhood, ascended to the garret, where the most appalling distress presented itself to his sight. " What does the gentleman wish?" said the poor woman. "I bring von assistance in the name of the President of the Republic." " Oh, my God! he has taken pity on me. I was told he was charitable and humane to the poor." " What do you require for the moment, my poor woman?" " 20f. to pay my rent, and some trifle to keep my children from starving until I can procure employment." " Well, lam charged to give you those two notes of 100 f. each." At the sight ot the notes the poor woman had nearly fainted. Her first im pulse was to embrace her children, exclaiming, "You are saved!" The stranger, AirtcOdi withdrew, , card, and telling her to come to hlf it she required assistance. Great wag when she read on the card, "The Pres public." She burst into tears and r an ~he house porter to communicate her de light. " What!" said he, " that gentlenaai so ' simply attired was the nephew of the Emperor ! . Ah, 'bid 'I known him, I would hare asked permissioh to Vshbrace him." The entire neighbourhood was soon informed of the visit of Louis Napoleon B naparte. " I t i s like the period of the empire," said one; when speaking the fol. lowing day of the President's noble action," - . -. Such a little transaction as this is surely better worth our attention and that of our readers than many ii, roil ) showy occurrence [that claims our time and space, and extorts public notoriety. The President's act is not only of a kind to afford useful example to some persons and pleasure to all, but is the more respectable for its off. handedness, its unstudied spontaneity. It Wu not one of your well-planned and 'nothing snares f o r a ppl ause . Th ere was nothing and could be nothing, premeditated in the matter. LORIS Napoleon sees lying at the bottom of his carriage &scrap of paper, which he little guesses at first to be the laet hope and the last chance of an entire starving family. He picks up the letter of the poor widow, written, as *0 have seen, with a mixture of confidence and anxiety. He immediately promises hiinself—we purposely 'sup pose the least noble motives that the case could argue—it very great pleasure ; for Louis Nap o l eo n h as h ear t i n two senses--he ha s eart in dealing with danger, and - he has heart ulso in dealing with misfortune; and accord. , lingly he promises himself a treat, knowing well bow very little may be a great deal in such matters; for it is noticeable that while his donation is perfectly ample, and even munificent, it is, at the same time, such may be consistent with a wide area of relief, tither than such as curtails the means of future or collateral beneficence. His zeal is " a zeal according'to - know ; ledge;" and singularly enough; the manner in: Which ! his generosity became public, instead of destroying (as I such publications—because they are glorifications— ( generally do), the merit of his act, enhanced that meet. In order that the poor woman might not want in fethlw, t but might know where to apply for relief ifiAter necessities, he left her his card; and the latter, intended ' to be the means of future charities, was turned into the 1 means of immediate fame, by the gratitude of the enrap ' ture and astounded widow. When Louis Napoleon was ' a prisoner at Ham, be busied himself in devising !Mine great, effective, and comprehensive system for the 'relief of the poor. This was the though that troubled his heart 1 and racked his brain. He did not (like Silvibi r lrteo) employ himself in inditing an ingenious and•el*ant cemplaint destined to perpetuate the memory of,his Own misfortunes, but he elaborated a project (successful or not, it is foreign from our argument ; tho e ff ec t o f such things, rests with God; the wish and the desire are 'all that can be expected from man)—a !Project for the elle. viation of the miseries of others. It was not "imiei t prigioni," but Pea-tine/ion du paupers:erne" that Issued f r o m 1 the prison ot Louis Nap o l eon Bonaparte. Now, we say I that this plainly betokened the instinct of some great destiny. We call that a great destiny which largel y ie fluences the position of your fellow- cre at ures , and which is bound up with the history of millions of human beings. Of such a destiny, therefore, that man shown an instinctive presentiment whose mind is, even,in the most distracting personal misfortunes, incessantly turned to the condition of others, to the condition of a whole people in its largest and most suffering classes. This is not only a gentle feeling, in Oise sense of the word ".gentle" which probably originated the name of gentleman, but it is a feeling even princely. Nations want not and need not'those who are absorbed in themselves to govern the state; nations need those who care for nations, and th ose w h o 10 care are not inappropriately placed when they are raised to the most exalted situations. We aro glad that the Ane qualities which Louis Napoleon exhibited in adversity have stood the far harder test of dazzling success. We are glad that, even in the snsallest and most unpremedi tated acts, he has evinced an undepraved, unperverted, and unlost consistency. We are glad that he displayed such fortitude and bearing in misfortune ; we ate still more glad that he shows such moderation, firmness, and gentleness in power. We are glad of this for the sake of France, and indeed for the sake of the world. We now feel confident that, whatever fortune betides him ' he will act a dignified, a tru e , a n honourable part. He has been tried by the two great ordeals, and has passed them both unscathed. Had he been cowardly, we should hays seen it long ago ; were he insolent, we should see it now, Music and the sun bring out the cobra. TlMES.—Civilisation has taken a bold flight since the day it was declared that its development was bounded by the shores of the Mediterranean. The whole surface of the globe is the heritage of man, and he will no longer be excluded from the full fruition of his birthright. Yet by what slow degrees hare we ar• rived at this point. For how many ages were not the sages of antiquity content to acquiesce in the arbitrary decision of geographers, which remain as monuments of the ignorance of their epoch. An uncouth figure of a panther or crocodile was the best make-shift by which they could distinguish the vast regions that lay out of the immediate boundaries of their little world. The existence of the two Americas was voted the hallucina tion of diseased brains. The pillars of Hercules were the limit beyond which there was nothing bat a stormy sea, or at best some Fortunate Islands, the destined abode of the blest when the spirit had been dislodged from its mortal tenement. The speculations of the ancients on the destinies of their race are a melancholy example of the infirmity of human judgment. They would have laughed to scorn the idea that from a little island in the far north-west, , where dwelt a few savages, segregated by a belt of 1 wintry sea from the whole world, there should issue a race destined to subdue countries more vast and more 1 important than all which then owed allegiance to the Rowan name. They would have been slow to admit as a possibility that the little insular province which was first thrown over when their empire was shaken by die. cord within and warfare from without would one day exercise an influence second to that of no other Power, in European affairs; bring into subjection th e r eg i ons o f legend—for such was Hindostaa to them; and colts. nise and occupy vast countries, regions of fable, the very existence of which it would have been deemed pre posterous to maintain. All this, however, has come to pa's. The inhabitants, or descendants of the inhabitants of the despised and rejected Britain, divide with four other States the chief power ot Europe; by their counsel and their arms they have subjected the most important part of Asia to their control; in what little of civilisation exists in Africa they have their full share; Australasia is their own; North America they have occupied, and are at this moment busy grouping themselves on its western coasts, to work out a destiny which will, no doubt, be in harmony with their previous career. Many of us here in the British islands, and our , contemporaries in the U n it e d St a t es , w ill , i f lif e b e I spared us for a quarter of a century, see great changes `on the shores and in the islands of the Pacific, and iu these changes those who use the English speech are fated to play no unimportant part. For many years there have been symptoms and tokens of the coming events : _ the full colonization of Australia and New Zealand; the occupation of various important ports in the waters of the Pacific by the United States; our - own war with China; the opening of Borneo by Sit. JAMS. Brooke, and his yet greater achievement of iniateßing the mind of Europe in the condition of the Indian Ar chipelago; the Oregon discussion; the war between the United States and Mexico, which led to the cession of California, and the almost fabulous discovery of gold in that neglected region—all these facts are suggestive of what is to follow. Add to them all the velocity attained in travelling by sea or land, the glut of popula tion here at home, and the redundancy of capital (the British isles contain about twenty-eight millions of inhabitants, and discount on good . paper might on Thursday have b een o b ta i ned in the City at 2 per cent.), and who can doubt what must happiti when a way is discovered to give employment to thi suf. plus population and vent to the uneasy capital of the old country? With regard to the United States, from other reasons, which it would be here beside our purpose to set out, the case is stronger than with ourselves. In the States legions of colonists, incited by avarice or in stinct, are already on their way, and have deserted the Atlantic for the Pacific Ocean. There remains but one obstacle to keep back the current; a little strip of land twenty miles broad—the isthmus of Panama—stands as a dyke or barrier to this stream of enterprise. The tid t e, however, has set in, and will soon sweep awn?' ". 1 . 111; a hindrance as this. Projects for 'cutting throug h ' neck of land hare, as is well known, been afloa t for years past.

The rivers th© Grenadian Government'the 'and Trinidad on the Atlantic side were to be ca b n e hd e a n grecos. united by a canal of 25 miles With the river Farfin, which flows into the Pacific—the 'total length this way would be 50 miles, and ; the highest point of land 33 feet. The canal was to be 160 feetinwidth, and 22 feetdeep, and to admit vessels °Mont 1,200 to 1,400 tons. There are, hoWever, different es of opinion as to the facilities of this route, and the climate is said to be in the highest degree prejudicial to health. The second great route proposed is through the isthmus of Tehuantepec, a province of Mexico. If our readers will take a map, they will see marked on the Atlantic side the river Coatzacoalcos. This river, which, as re presented on the map, pursues a course as devious as our own Wye, is stated to be navigable in some degree for 160 miles. Where the river ceased to be navigable a _canal SO miles in length was to be constructed,- sur mounting in its progress a table-laud at a place called Tarifa. 525 feet high, an d f a lli ng f rom Tarifa to the l'ls cific 660 feet.
