Though the landowners and farmers are now rejoicing in high prices—the four successive bad harvests, which have brought destitution and death to the hearths of the labourers, having filled their purses—only six years have elapsed since they were as well convinced as we now arc, by the price of wheat being down below 505., or even 405., that the Corn-laws, which it is pretended give them protection, were a failure, if not a fraud. If there had then been a demand fur the repeal, the farmers would have offered no resistance ; but the recollection of past losses is forgotten in present prosperity ; and having undergone the evils of the law, they now insist on retaining its temporary advantages. A short review, however, of what the Corn-laws were expected to accomplish, will convince the most sceptical, that in respect to agriculture they have been" a most egregious failure. The law of 1815 prohibited importation till the price of wheat t eached 80s., and was intended to keep it up nearly to that level, This gem of the Earl of RIPON'S wisdom was such a wretched abortion that, before five years elapsed, the country resounded with corn ' plaints of agricultural distress, and in 1821 a Committee was appointed to inquire into the sub ject. From that Committee emanated an elaborate Report and another abortive measure, to reduce the price of protection from 80s. to 70s. but its bantling was still-born, and never came into operation. Again, complaints of agricultural distress were continually made ; rents were unwillingly lowered, because farmers could not pay them, and, in 1527, Mr. CANNING propoSed another measure, which in principle reduced the proposed protection still more. That Bill did not become law, and in 1828 the existing Corn-law, giving, as was stated over and over again, a protection to the farmer up to 655., was passed. Now we have Sir ROBERT PEEL again lowering the scale, and professing to keep the price of wheat not at 80s., not at 705., not at Gss., not even at the Lincolnshire mark of 605., but between 545. and 58s. In spite, therefore, of successive enactments the price of corn, which the law was to keep up, has gradually fallen, and the lawgiver, who pretends to regulate that price by his enactments, has been com pelled to follow the course of events, and reduce his no minal protection from 80s. to 565. Why does Sir ROBERT PEEL select 565. as a sort of general price ? Because the average price of wheat, since 1828, instead of having been 655., as the cheating law taught the deluded farmers to expect, has only been, including the last year, 58s. But this is the price as shown by the averages worked up for the purposes of speculation, and the actual growers of the corn have received no such price. To get at their selling price, we must deduct ss. at least from the averages, for while the law promised the farmer 655., it has been unable to secure him a greater price than 535. We say, then, that the law has been altogether a failure, even as far as the farmers are concerned, and yet the alchymist Prime Minister is to repeat the ruinous experiment. This difference between the averages and actual prices, the former being, as is well known, made up by an exten sive system of fraud, leads us to remind the virtuous SirßouEaT PEEL, who has such a horror of all fraud, ex cept legislative fraud, that all the calculations on which his new law is based, are derived from, and are depend ent on, these fraudulent averages. His Corn Bill will be founded on palpable fraud. TO suppose that such a system either in past times could have been, or in future can be, productive of national welfare, is flying in the face of the moral goyernment of the world. A certain degree of agricultural prosperity, it is true, has co-existed with the Corn-law, caused by the increase of the manufacturing population. All the agricultural societies that have covered the land, all the bounties which have been given for improved cultivation, all the Corn-laws that ever were forged, would never have brought an additional ear of wheat into existence, had there been no stimulus to production from the increasing population and wealth of our towns. It is altogether a delusion, there fore, to suppose that the prosperity of our agri culture has been in the least degree owing to the law, which bas at once cheated the unhappy farmer, stinted the growth of our manufactures, and starved the people. Our opponents reprobate very strongly the appeals which they say all the Anti-Bread-tax party make to the prejudices and passions of the people. It is im possible, however, for any person to surpass, on this point, the _crest master of House of Commons' clarArap eit A Primo Minister, the leading man of the uation i ,,slasmld be placed high above all the mists of popular passions, and see clearly those objects which popular delusions hide from other men. Sir 11...PELL must know, therefore, that former Corn laws have not answered—that they have not given any protection to the agricultural interest—that they have not, and cannot, in this commercial country, prevent prices falling to the general level—that they cannot render us in the slightest degree independent of other nations, and if they could it would be criminal to attempt it. Yet for two hours, the night before last, did Sir ROBERT PEEL address himself exclusively to the low passions and vile prejudices of his selfish auditors, and persuade them to support his new experiment, because it would protect the landed interest, keep up the price of wheat to 585., and keep the country partially in dependent. llis whole speech, whether founded in sheer ignorance, or worse hypocrisy, was an appeal to such prejudices and passions, and was worthy of the head of the monopolisers. If newspaper writers appeal to the people, by promis- ing them cheap bread, he appealed to the landed gentle men by promising them dear corn and high rents. If the former write vaguely about growing commerce, and paint the advantages of free trade, predicting from it an increase of wealth, and peace, and happiness to all the world, he could talk about complicated and great social interests—meaning the rent-rolls of the landlords —which he would on no account disturb. If the Anti- Bread-tax party refer to the rights of poverty, he was eloquent on the rights of property ; and while he had not a thought to bestow on the starving multitudes of Manchester and Paisley, he was filled with horror at the supposition of diminishing the profit of a tenant under lease. He is quite a master in the art of appealing to low passions and vulgar prejudices ; and had we half his skill in that line, and such a favourable auditory as he has, we should make our fortunes. We expressed yesterday, by one word, in common, we believe, with all who heard Mr. ROEBUCK, our admira tion at his able speech. It was clear and forcible, and must have , pierced through the triple mail of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S self-conceit. The whole House felt the force of 11is concluding remarks, which threw on Sir ROBERT PEEL the awful responsibility of not relieving the distress of the people. His statements, however, on some points, could not command our assent ; and we rather admired his speech as an intellectual display in that assembly of gladiators, than approved of its doctrines. Mr. ROEBUCK was, in our cpinion, much too cour teous to the aristocracy. He would impute to them no bad motives ; he took them at their own estimate of their value ; and set them down as that leisure class which spreads civilization through the land. lie must have ill observed the progress of improvement to have come to such a conclusion. The independence of the landlords encourages in . them , many vices ; and their relative poSition to other, men, making them proud, and their tenants and labourers slavish, corrupts the morals of both. The mutual and equal dependence of man on man, which grows from division of labour, and which extends as division of labour extends—a system from which the mere do-nothing landowners stand idly and widely apart, is, much more than they are, the cause of that improvement in morals and manners which is opposed to their feudal propensities. Mr. lioEnucK, who aspires, we believe, to lead the democracy, seemed to ns to desert their standard in his observations on the aristocracy. It is probable, we think, that his courtesy was the result of an unfounded theory which he put forth. He endeavoured, by a reference to past history, to exone rate the present Legislature from all responsibility for the sufferings of the people. They all grbw, he was pleased to think, from some unwise encouragement the Government had in former times given to manufac tures. What the Government had to do with promoting the inventions of WATT and ARKWRIGHT, we arc igno rant ; and we do not share Mr. Rounuefes arcadian prejudice in favour of an agricultural popula tion. We Fully exonerate hint individually from any part of the responsibility for the condition of the people ; but when he saw on the Minis terial benches Sir RonenT PELL, Sir GEORGE CLERK, :;nd a squad of Tories ; and when he knows that the Earl of BIUoN and the Duke of WELLINGTON are still members of the Parliament and the Government, he ought to conclude that to say the existing Parliament is not responsible for the distresses of the. people, is to clear the Tories from that charge of misgovernment with which they have been so long reproached. Entertaining that opinion, however, he acted on it, and was as courteous as a mere Whig to the ffentlemen opposite. But while Mr. ROEBUCK was so courteous to our op ponents, i e was not sparing of our friends. He is afraid of having that religious and moral rule applied to his conduct, which is now applied to the conduct of the Bread-taxers, and he stigmatised those who denounced as sinful the rash interference of the Legislature with the laws of nature. Lord PALMERSTON took a more sensible view, and justly censured the arrogant and presumptuous dealers in protective duties and sliding scales, who thwart " the de crees of the Power which has created and dis poses of the universe." Mr. ROEBUCK seems to think that' the Gentlemen of the House of Commons can settle what is right, and that their sovereign will must be un questioned. We recognise a higher power than Par liament, and we go cordially with those who, having from philosophy and experience learned some of its decrees, set them up as better and safer guides fer mankind than the formal enactments of selfish landlords. Mr. ROEBUCK did not catch, we think, the . spirit which animates this age, and je did not make himself in the House of Commons the champion of the democracy. They lack somebody to plead their cause in that assembly of a larger heart, if not a more gifted tongue, than Mr. ROEBUCK, and we trust that in the ensuing debate, such ta champion will be found. When the aristocracy hear the plain unvarnished truth in the House of C mum ons,w hen their motives are dissected, as well as their acts exposed, we shall be on the threshhold of that moral reform which is necessary for the safety of the State. Sir H. PEEL, alarmed, no doubt, at the excitement caused by the only measure he has yet brought for‘ . ..ard as Prime Minister, is evidently anxious to hurry the Bill through all its • stages with the utmost rapidity. When he assumed ()like he talked of nothing but delay. The words "mature deliberation," " caution," and "pru dence," were constantly in his mouth; now he is deter mined to go at railroad speed, and, as if Members were as little susceptible of fatigue as the snorting, untiring, and iron-framed machines that are incessantly tra versing the country, he attempted to compel them yesterday morning, at half-past two, and after a three nights' debate, to listen to the motion of Mr. Vit.- LTERS. This attempt, howexer, to smother the ques tiOn was too barefaced even for his majority, and he was at last forced to make a merit of a neces sity, and profess that he had no wish to throw an ob stacle in' the way. The attempt was not made without good reason. Petitions are pouring in from all ,quar ters; in our market towns are kindled daily bonfires, not composed of tar-barrels and useless lumber, but of the effigies of the Right . Honourable Premier himself, as proofs of the strong determination of the people to de feat this mockery of a modified Corn-law Bill. Like the culprit in a crowd, he is therefore anxious to get out of the way, in the hope that the enactment of this obnoxious measure will silence the hungry and dis contented. He is even anxious, it is said, tohurry on other measures; in order to break up the Session by the middle of June. The public, however, are not to be deceived. They have waited long and patiently for the announcement of his plans, their turn now is come for mature: delibera tion, and he may depend upon it they will be satisfied with nothing less. A Bill for the better regulation of Railways has just been brought into the House of Commons, by Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. MANNERS SUTTON, and Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE. As_ the question of Railways is not a question of party, we trust that the Government will really deal with it in that enlarged spirit which alone is suitable to the commercial wants of this country. This, however, is not the character of the Bill before it. It is a Bill for amending an Act already in operation ; and, in its second clause, it declares that such provisions of the existing Act as are not re pealed by it are to remain in full force. Here is a gross error at the very . outset. Railways are in their infancy, and we are to be perplexed with a reference to two Acts of Parli:unent to determine the liabilities of their proprietors. Why not embody such provisions of the old Act, as are to be retained, in the new, and then abolish the first Act altogether? Why perplex the public, and promote litigation, when these evils can be avoided ? The law regulating a railway ought to be as distinct, and as speedy of application, as the transit upon it. The crawling pace of a Chancery proceeding is ridiculous when in anyway associated with railway locomotion. Instead of multiplying Acts, it is the duty of Government to diminish them. A good Railway Bill cannot be too brief. The nearer it ap proaches to a sheet almanack the better. As this is a subject of great importance to every class of the com munity, we shall return to it to-morrow. The most despotic Government in the world is hardly more potent for evil at this moment than that of France. Hardly a day passes in which instances of this are not made manifest to Europe. Does it want to crush a Journal ? Let it give the signal, and three executioners arc in attendance—the printer, the Court; of Peers, and a servile jury. Some time ago the National pub lished an article, in which it was truly stated that the rancour of the working classes was more fiercely directed now against the middle class than aga.nst the aristocracy. For telling this truth which has been told hundreds of thousands of times in England, where it equally applies, the Government ordered the National to be prosecuted before a Jury. The Gazette de Fiance quoted the article. • and so was included in the prosecution. The act of packing juries is now carried to perfection in France, and consequently a verdict of guilty was soon obtained against both the journals. It was proved in Court that the Editor of the National was too ill to quit his bed, but the Judges decided that his presence was a matter of indifference. They accordingly tried him, had him .pronounced guilty, and :ientenced him and the Editor of the Gazette de Fiance to a year's imprisonment, and a fine of four thousand francs each ! The Gazette des Pyreunees publishes the following letter :—" The partizans of Queen Christina have not lost all hope of success, and their residence in France has facilitated the means of coming to an understanding with the chiefs of the Carlist party. We need not therefore be astonished if O'Donnell, Concha, Jaureguy, Brana de Villareal, Claveria, Riquero, Urbistondo, Triarte Zarialeguy, and other chiefs, should soon come and plant a new banner on the summit of the Pyrenees to overthrow Espartero. The Ministry being questioned on the subject in the Senate, said they were on their guard."—Constitutionnel. The Toulonnais of the 10th says :—" We see with satisfaction that the Government is taking measures to raise the crews of the ships of the fleet to the full war-complement, which had been much reduced by the discharge of a great number of men ; besides the levies ordered in the fifth maritime district, and which have just been carried into effect, we received a great many men from the ports en the Ocean. Several vessels have arrived within a short time from Brest with seamen for the Mediterranean squadron. Yesterday the Atalanto frigate, which arrived from Brest, landed 300 seamen. The Savings' Bank at Paris received on Sunday and Monday, from 6,541 subscribers (above 924 were new ones), the sum of 954,908 francs. The amount of the sums withdrawn was 535,200 f. CLOSING PRICES..

They remained to.. gether till a late hour, and drank so much that they became completely intoxicated. and the journeyman, on going out into the air, was seized by the cold, fell, and shortly afterwards ex pired in the middle of the road. The soldier, insensible to the late of his companion, staggered on till he came to the bank of the canal ; and, finding that some of the bystanders were laughing at him, stammered nut—" Ah ah ! you think I am not steady ! you shall see. I'll bet a wager that I will jump over this gutter 1" He immediately made a spring, fell into the canal, and was drowned. His body was not discovered till Monday night. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY 18, 1841.. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. The general belief that for the present, at least, Sir Robert Peel has succeeded in obtaining the adoption of his Corn-law plan, has given more firmness to the English funds, though, perhaps, for a different reason than is supposed or pretended by the Conservative party. The fact is, that every far-seeing, and every enlightened man in the City looks upon it as mo rally impossible that matters can rest where they are, and, therefore, takes the Government plan of duties as a stepping 'stone to something better. As Lord Palmerston aptly and ably enough described it, the enemy has for once abandoned the fortress, and descended into the operi plain ; and though they this time offer battle to the free traders, on fairer terms than ever before, and have succeeded in worsting them, there is every reason to hope that they must again, at a future time, resort to a sortie, when they may be made to capitulate.

If a chemist makes an experi ment, and the result does not answer his expectation, he either gives up the object he was pursuing as unattainable, • - or he tries to accomplish it by smile new combinations. - Only that wretched class of experimenins of the PARA ' CELSUS tribe, a mixture of fools and knaves, who wasted their lives and fortunes, and the fortunes of others, in hunting after the Philosopher's Stone, persevered almost for ages, in spite of baffled hopes and defeated contri vances, in their vain pursuit, and they have now been for ages the butt of universal ridicule. We are about to show, if we can, that the red-tapist class of politicians, with Sir ROBERT PEEL as their chief and mentor, re-. s;tu . b le m uc h more t h e h unters a ft er th e Philosopher's Stone than careful and rational investigators, like PRIESTLY, CAVENDISH, and DAVY. Ever since 1815, the present generation of red-tapists--; f.,r the Earl of RIPON and Sir ROBERT PEEL were both concerned in passing the Corn-law of that period—have been intent on giving what they call protection to agri c.iltttre, anti .011 promoting the prosperity of the country, • by keeping' the price of provisions and all other things - • higher here than in other countries.

BRIGHTON, THURSDAY —Her Majesty and Prince Albert left the Palace before ten o'clock, and took a carriage airing along the East Cliff to Kemp Town, accompanied by Colonel W3hie, on horseback. On their return they walked on the Chain Pier, for about half an hour, and having entered their carriage proceeded to Brunswick-terrace. The Royal party then alighted and promenaded for a short time, returning to the Palace soon after eleven o'clock. The day is remarkably fine, and as mild as May. His Royal Highness Prince Albert is said tobe highly delighted with Brighton. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent took an airing this morning, accompanied by his Serene Highness Prince Fer dinand of Saxe Coburg. The Princess Royal was taken out for a carriage airing, at one o'clock. His Royal Highness the Prince' of Wales was brought out on the balcony of the Pavilion for the benefit of the sea air, and taken out at one o'clock for a carriage airing. A grand review of the Royal Scots Greys took place on Wed nesday on the Downs, near Brighton. There was a very small number of visitors, which was accounted for by the secrecy with which the intended inspection was kept, as also the unfavourable state of the weather, the Downs being completely enveloped in fog; and the spot selected, which is generally seen from the town, was completely hid. About a quarter before one the regiment arrived on the ground, and General Sir William Keir Grant, the Colonel, placed him self at their head, in order to receive the Prince. Shortly after one o'clock, His Royal Highness arrived on the ground, habited in the uniform of his awn regiment, the 11th Hussars. The Prince was accompanied by their Serene Highnesses Princes Ferdinand, Augustus, and Leopold of Saxe Cobourg ; the two former appeared in the Austrian uniform, and the latter in a Hungarian dress. After the review, the Royal party re turned to the Pavilion. lheir Royal Highnesses Prince George and the Princess Mary of Cambridge visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager yesterday, at Marlborough House.

A aNFIEIM, FEB. 11.—His Majesty the King of Prussia hay ing passed a good night, left this town yesterday morning at seven o'clock for Dusseldorf. COLOGNE, Fra. 12.—The presence of our king in this city, yesterday evening, made a real fete. The illuminations were general, and brilliant. At half-past six, a band of 150 singers offered a serenade to the king. His Majesty being much fatigued did not go out to see the illuminations or to the theatre. F.I.BERFELD, FEB. 13.—His Majesty arrived here to-day at four o'clock, and was welcomed by the joyful acclamations of the whole population. His Majesty gave audience, and after wards accepted the dinner offered by the Municipality. His Majesty left us at nine this morning. L;censed victuallers in all parts of the kingdom must be highly gratified on perusing the " Report," this day in serted in our columns, of the Fire and Life Assurance Company established by that body in the metropolis.

SUICIDE IN THE R EGENT ' S PARK.—An investigation lately took place before Mr. Wakley, M.P. and a resjectable Jury, at , St. Marylebone Workhouse, New road, on the body of a man, whose attire and general appear ance would indicate that he was a gentleman, aliparently about 40 years of age. William Knight, watchman, at the North Lodge, Regent's Park, said that about half-past ten o'c'ock on the night of Tuesday last, he went over Macelesfield•bridge, which cros>es the Regent's Canal, for the purpose of watching the deceased, whom he had seen wandering about for upwards of half an hour, fearing he meditated something evil. 'I he policeman on duty also walked with witness, and as they pas,ed deceased on the bridge, witness said to him, " A wet night." Deceased immediately replied, " Yes, its a damp night." Witness and the policeman walked on a few yards, and on turning round saw the deceased standing against the railing of the bridge. They advanced towards him, and had reached him within about a yard and a half, when he bent his head for ward, and pitchef, himself from the summit of the bridge into the water. The Coroner, having directed that the body should be kept as long as it could, and also the clothes, for the purpose of identity, the Jnry ultimately returned a verdict— *. That the deceased destroyed himself, being at the time in a state of Temporary Insanity." M.

His Excellency's reception was very flattering. The Porte has appointed Omar Pacha Governor of Lebanon, at the joint request of the chiefs of the Maronites and the Druses. This has restored tranquillity in Syria. Omar Pacha is a German renegade, who ten years ago made a profession of Islamism. The editors of the National and Gazette de France were found guilty by a jury on Monday of exciting hatred and contempt of the Government, and severally sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve months and pay a fine of 4,000 francs. With juries so basely ser. vile what can the French Government want with a Court of Peers ? Several journals confirm the statement of the Corsrricr Francais, that Government intends to support other railroad projects besides those contained in the Bill already before the Chamber of Deputies. The Commerce says that a supplementary Bill to this effect will be presented to the Chamber immediately. " The Minister of Public Works," says the Presse, " after having obtained the adhesion of his colleagues, has just decided that the railroad from Paris to Tou louse shall be comprised in the lines to be undertaken by the Go vernment." The Univers says:—" The object of M. de Bourqueney's note to the Porte was to recall to the recollection of the Ottoman Go. vernment the old treaties, in virtue of which France is the recog. raised protectress of all the Catholics in the East, to urge the Porte to use moderation towards the Syrian Maronites, to advise it to employ more conciliating measures towards Greece, and to de. dare that any attempt against Tunis would be considered as an act of hostility against France." PARLIAMENTARY. In the House of Lords last night there was a little squabble be. tween the Earl of Clancarty, an Ultra-Tory, and the Duke of Wel lington, about producing some returns connected with the appoint. meat of chaplains to workhouses in Ireland. The object of the Noble Earl was to throw discredit on the appointments of the Poor law Commissioners, because the chaplains are not of our own Church. He was kindly countenanced by the Bishop of Exeter, but repudiated by the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brougham, and the Marquis of Normanby. The Noble Earl withdrew his motion, as his Noble Friend the Duke of Wellington would not grant it. The House of Commons did not meet yesterday. kiLTZULIC Orllu tON. The Chronicle accuses Sir James Graham of deposing " to his own dereliction of political principle" in his last speech ; and adds "the world knows him. Even the Times declares he is not to be trusted. The Lord Advocate did not desire him tor a defender, and will not soon forget the defence he inflicted. But what we do infer from his speech is, that he is so far gone in political depravity, as to have lost the use of the language of patriotism. He cannot talk public virtue with propriety." 'The Times says that the rejection of Lord John Russell's reso. lution may be considered equivalent to the adoption of Sir Robert Peel'i proposed Corn.law by the House of Commons; and that "it is a vote which does not commit any individual who concurred in it, to a preference for the principle of a sliding.scale over that of a fixed duty; it offers no impediment to the future progress of le. gislation on this subject." The herald is of opinion that the debate of Tuesday night proved that a fixed duty is but a step to a completely free trade, and that if any Corn.law is to be maintained, it must be one con. raining a sliding-scale. "The great claim of agriculture on the Legislature," says our Contempotary, "is not compensation. but protection ; and the justice of that claim springs from as great an independence for food on other countries as is possible, being as much the primary duty of nations, as self protection is the fixed duty of individuals." The Cheltenham Examiner thus describes Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law measure :—" A scheme less calculated to satisfy the country, or to remedy the evils of the present system could not have been devised; it is framed, according to Sir Robert's own ad. mission, expressly to maintain the price of corn as it has been for the last ten years, and, without grappling with one great principle of commercial reform for which the country is panting, it may be justly characterised as a miserable nibbling at details, such as a statesman ought t be ashamed to propose, and the country cannot for a moment accept." We quote the following from the Dublin Evening Post :—" The people of England are starving. In Bolton, Stockport, Rochdale— Glasgow, Paisley, 'Manchester —everywhere—they are wast►ng away through inanition—they are dying of hunger. It is main. tained, that a Repeal of the Corn.laws would suspend, at least, if it would not cure, this physical calamity, We are not called upon for an opinion as to the soundness of this conclusion. But, there can be no question at all, if the patient is destined to be saved, that you must repeal the taxes on food in the first instance." The York Courant says :—" The ultra supporters of what is termed in a spirit of monopoly, the agricultural interest, have quitted the camp, and those not so ultra in their views, look on with ill disguised suspicion, whilst the storm is hurtling in the great public political atmosphere, which will require, if we mistake not, more policy than Sir Robert Peel is possessed of either to con trol or to withstand. The great struggle has still to come on." MONEY—TnADZ — COIVINIE ACE. In consequence of the nefarious system of plugging sovereigns va. !ions experiments have been made to prevent the abstraction of the gold taking place without immediate detection. The officers of the Mint have at last agreed on a plan, and yesterday the workmen corn. menced casting the new coinage, which will shortly be issued to the public; the expense will be very great, but Government has bcen obliged to incur it, in consequence of • the system above alluded to having much injured the credit and confidence in the value of our gold, not only at home but on the Continent. COMMERCIAL REFORM. Immediately after Sir Robert Peel's Corn Bill had become known at Wigan, a memorial, petition, and protest against it, collected 4,000 signatures in less than twenty-four hours. At Stalybridge, a day and a halt brought 3,600 signatures. At Derby 6,336 names were appended in eleven hours. At a great meeting held at the Town-hall, Salf.rd, on Tuesday last, an amendment was carried, which was afterwards ordered to take the place of a substantive motion, whereby the meeting avowed their " solemn determination never again to pass or to retain for twenty-four hours, without exchanging for gold, any Bank of Eng land notes, until by the total and immediate repeal of the Corn-laws Government showed its readiness to redress the people's grievances."

During the hurricane of Friday and Saturday last, a boat be. longing to the ship Swift was swamped in the Clyde, and three, out of six the crew, drowned. Another boat also from the brig Caroni, was struck on a rock, and four of its party perished. YAW AND POLICE. - - Two men, named Tandy and Smith, were brought to Union Hall, charged with breaking into the premises of Alderman Hum. phery, near Hibernia-wharf, on Tuesday night. The Alderman said for the last four years the premises had been frequently robbed, and lie had in eonsequence placed a private watchman on them, an d the very first night he was there the prisoners were arrested. One of them had jumped into the river and would have been drowned but for the police following him in a wherry and dragging him out.—Remanded. Daniel O'Connell, who stated that he was on his way to Ireland, was brought to the same Court, charged with creating a distur bance at a public-house in Tooley-street. Between one and two in the morning, on being refused admission, he swore like a trooper, knocked and kicked furiously, and when taken into custody, threatened the policeman with vengeance if he only had him in Ireland. The Magistrate forgave Dan, and told him to be off for Ireland at once. At Clerk enwell Charles James Fox Edwards, a medical student at University College, was charged with the fashionable amusement, called stealing knockers. A policeman saw him wrench one off the door, No. 17, Woburn.buildings, and on searching him found two in his pocket. Mr. Greenwood committed him to the House of Correction, without hard labour, for one week. In the Insolvent Court on Wednesday, Mr. James Wallack, the actor, applied to be discharged on bail.

The sloop Margaret, Capt. Anderson, of Dundee, 45 tons, a re gular trader between Dandee and Stockton-on-Tees, on Saturday night last, about eight o'clock, was run down by the General Steim Navigation Company's powerful steam -ship Monarch, Captain Fra ser, whilst on her passage from Wanton Pier, near Leith, for London. of C The following is a summary Captain Anderson's st a t emen t . The sloop Margaret len. Stockton-on- Tees for Dundee, o n Saturday half-past six o'clock, morning at six o'clock, and at p.m. , passed the Manuel Head, and Capta in Anderson having hauled her into Berwick Bay about eight o'cloc k, he observed the lights of a steam. ship, distant between two and t hree miles, bearing down in his direc tion. Notwithstanding every precaution , however, the steam s hi p, which p l y ved to be the Monarc h, Captain Fraser, from L eith for London, with passengers and a general cargo of merc handise, came down upon the MaGaret, Carried away h er main boon), and struck her vi olently on the larboard quar ter, cutting her down t o the Water's ed g e.

Before this, , h e t h b e m e t n p g u i nt outcs o f to render engines of the Monarch were stopped before the collision took place, and this statement is partially borne out from the fact that had she been pt oceedin at her usual speed she must have instantly run right over the Margaret, a small vessel of tbrty.five tons, and in which ' ease Captain Anderson and his crew would, in all human pro bability, have found algrave in:the deep abyss of the ocean. The Margaret, soon after the crew heft her, went down. The Mo. starch's boat, which was much larger than that belonging to tie Margaret, was immediately rowed to the crew of the latter, into which they were taken, and subsequently put on board the steam shill), which brought them on Monday night to Brown's-wharf, Blackwell, where they were landed. The Margaret was fully insured in the Dundee and Aberdeen Marine Insurance Offices. Her cargo, which consisted of 536 sacks of flour, was also insured ; and the loss will, in the mean time, fall upon the underwriters. i The Russian army, it is stated, is reduced 60,000 men. THE CORINTHIAN COLUMN. " These men (the working classes) are the glory, and the strength, and the foundation of the country. bhould they perish, and the Corinthian capital (the Aristocracy) with its delicate tracery, its beautiful strawberry-leaves, and its po ished shaft be preserved ? He would not touch those who were the glory of the country, and its strength, and its foundation. No, ILITHER LET THE COLUMN FALL!"—Speech of Mr. George Thompson at the Great London Anti-Corn-law Conference. NO ! LET THE COLUMN FALL ! Though thousand-times more glorious and tall, Through the serenes of air, Clomb its rich Corinth-shaft and clustered top : Though thousandfold more fair Rose its,full-flowering Acanthus-crop, Carved of white marbles, with their snow-sweet shinings In wreaths of royally-enmingled twinings : Though sovran and ethereous of mould, Ivories wove with interlucent gold Lent its fine architraves and ornaments, A beauteousness immense,— Arrogant Column! still— Symbol of pride and ill ! Prone thy haught feather-head should bow and cower, Before a Name almightier of power : Name loftier far than Lord, or King, or Khan, Or all that yet by blood or lineage ran, Or blazed heraldical in tongues'of dresg,— Name simplest—name sublime in nakedness-- The name of—MAN! Aye, let the Column fall ! Why should it longer cumber the free soil ? Why shadow down The palsies of its ever-baleful frown, On thee—thou reverend, holy Son of toil I Under whose outward husk, and rough-hewn seeming Rays of the infinite light give sleepless gleaming : Thou—man the labourer—man the workman —man, Grower of dewy food and daily bread, For which sweet thankful grace to Heaver, is said : Patient long-sufferer I—hard-entreated brother ! Who, with thy strength and sinews for another, Eight weary centuries bast sown and heaped, But yet no armful to thyself hsst reaped;-- Who for long ages hast with trusty duty, Smote the rebellious ear►h to golden beauty ; Who night and day thy prowessea hast spent, Obedient ever to thy lord's intent, Him the Oppressor—him the Tyrann arch : Speak ! as before the Universe thou standest Of forms created, sacredest and grandest, While all Earth's spirit-host surround and shout thee, And Sanctities stand thick as stars about thee; Thou—God's own Noble--wilt thou rot a thrall? Thon ! born to beam—a Power supreme to all ? NO—LET THE COLUMN FALL ! Aye—let the Column fall ! Needs had it be like Saul,. Smote with reproachful Colts of fieriness :-- Time, so o'erflowery, so profuse a Crewn, From its purpureal altitude were hurled ! Enoligh fair noons—enough sweet glittering starlights, From the old Feudal heaven it hath shared— Manhood stands now prepared, Anew to build the great House of the World ! Why longer darkened should he sit, or shaded . Dimmed by that Column, crumbling and far-faded ? Better a million-times, Its gorgeous wreath of trim Acanthus-woof, Were rended from aloof: Better were torn its architectural posies— Unpulled its flourished heads of pomps and roses— Better were cropped its full ambrosial flowers, Sprung from Corinthian bowers : And broke its composite and airy shaft— Dust for the winds to waft : Than should the men and labourers of the land, Who as its walls and solid basements stand, (Like the Majestic Doric, plain but grand); Who form its glory—its superbest hope-- Are its foundation-beams, its firmest rafters, The hopes and promise of its fond hereafters Should in ephemeral weakness meet such fate, Or God's august designs so desecrate— Rather than MA N should perish on earth's ball— O'ertumbled with its towery pride and state— (He the strong Sampson tugging at its weight)— DOWN LET THE COLUMN FALL ! SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S--YESTERDAY. Several Derby horses were backed in the course of the after noon, and at odds, except in one 'instance, agreeing rather closely with those last reported: The exception was Chatham, who was advanced 11 to 1, taken, and had rather a formidable supporter in a party who has repeatedly invested " through evil and good report." Auckland, it will be seen, has fallen back, a movement that might have been expected from the feeling shown of late. Some outsiders were touched upon, but only one (William le Gros) backed to any amount.

Sta—lf a Member of the House oCCommons were to move for a return of the quantities of wheat bread and flour supplied to each Union during the last three years; the public would be put in pos session of a highly interesting and valuable document, showing that such supply must have materially tended to keep up the price of wheat during such period. It may be urged that we had the same number of mouths to be fed under the old Poor-law as under the new; but it cannot be denied that ' there are thousands and tens of thousands of poor persons in country parishes now fed upon wheaten bread, who formerly never tasted: anything but the coarsest barley bread from one year's end to another; and it should be observed that the guardians always contract for the lest porn, although ground into seconds flour. • I merely advance this point as an additional argument in favour of an alteration in the Corn.laws.—l am, Sir, yours, Sm., Ilfracombe, Feb. 13. It. W. D. MEETING of MIDDLESEX MAGIS TRATES. There was a numeri , us attendance of the Magistracy yester day at the Sessions'-house, Clerkenwell-green, for the despatch of County bnssness. Mr. Sergeant Adams in the Chair. After the usual routine business, Mr. LAURIE said that he thought the importance of the subject which he had to bring under their notice, demanded another interruption before they proceeded with the usual County business. They were all aware, and therefore it required no eulogium from him, of the upright and very able manner in which the Duke of Portland had fulfilled the high and impoi tant post of the Lord-Lieute nant of the County for the last fifty years.--( Hear.) Th a t very excellent Nobleman had clone all that was in his power to support the dignity and independence of the Magistracy, and as one of the many who admired the virtues which the Noble Duke possessed, he (Mr. L.) begged to move that the thanks of this Court be given to his Grace the Duke of Port land.—( Hear.) He was satisfied that the resignation of his Grace would be a source of regret to the whole of the Members of the Court.—(Hear, hear. ) A number of the members supported the 'motion. A Committee, consisting of the Chairman, the two Members for the County, and the mover and seconder of the vote of thanks, were then appointed, and in a few minutes the following address to his Grace was framed by those gentlemen, and read to the Court; viz.— _ " To His Grace the Duke of Portland. "My Lord Duke—We, the Magistrates of the county of Mid dlesex, in General Session assembled, beg to express to your Grace our deep regret at the resignation of your Grace, of the dignified offices of Lord-Lieutenant and Custos Hotulorum of this county, which your Grace has so filled,for nearly half a century, as to acquire not only the respect, esteem, and confi • deuce of the Bench collectively, but also of those whose duty it has been individually to communicate with your Grace on the business of the county ; and to express our acknowledgements to your Grace for the efficient and impartial manner in which you have discharged the responsible duties of those high offices. " The Address was unanimously agreed to, and ordered to be signed by the Ch a i rman on behalf of the Cout t, and transmitted to the Duke. SALARY TO THE CHAIRMAN. Mr. Sergeant Adams having left the Chair, Mr. Powilau, moved for the appointment of a Committee to represent to the H ome S ecre t ary the necessity or appointing a salary to th e Ch a i rman of the M id dlesex S ess i ons , w hi c h, with o ne dissentient voice, was agreed to, and a Committee appointed.—The Court then adjourned. LITERATURE. affot DIARY AND LETTERS OF MAD.AMPR FrancesD ' A R B LA BurneyY. (afterwardsl..

In 1778, when she was in her twenty: sixth year, she brought out her first novel, entitled: popularityi " Evelina," which met with uncommon and introduced her to the acquaintance of Dr. JOIT i I a quick tii; son, Burke, Sheridan, the Thrales, and, inde ed ' di ' the distinguished characters of the day. After war in succession, appeared her " Cecilia," "effraijht%! and " The Wanderer," the last of which (published ah the time of her marriage with a French emigra* fell still-born from the Press; and from that 1 )1 : 1 4. to , the day of her death, which took place't'' n ' _ e, " three years since, she produced nothing, we hclisch with the exception of some " Reminiscences, w',ehe were by no means remarkable for their saeess• tis present volume, which contains Madame V.Arbla.3.s.

The cause of this 4„te appointment is obvious. The writer everys".ns ::acrifices effect and interest to her own deve nn 1 t self-conceit and egotism. If Dr. Johnson is bite', on the tapis, it is only to sing the praises of 411:t is lina." If Sheridan is introduced to our notice, that only to assure Madame d'Arblay that the genin s i j e nt pfl hh h e ei could produce " Evelina," could write an exec they comedy. Murphy, the Thrales, and dozens of e ` fo r distinguished individuals, are brought forward t,.., the same reason ; and each is made to vie with I'dJ other in his eulogiums on " Evelina." For ill' sver w e of two hundred pages of a closely-printed o ctave , 0 absolutely hear of little or nothing but "Evelpin:et till we sicken at the very mention of the name! "'pie; Cumberland is sneered at as envious and uncharitaAit for.no other reason, that we can perceive, th al Asi lie does not choose to consider " Evelina" a Pr'oe of genius ; and Dr. Johnson and Mrs. Thrale t ee held up as patterns of excellence, for precise m o opposite cause. Judging from Madame D'Ar d o e. , Diary—and she evidently wishes to create this j o i 1 pression—one would imagine that all Engla nd ``Fe te, electrified with her astounding novel, and „,0 talksd, and dreamed of nothing else. Then her y e „ 3 ! agonies on the occasion of her being made a Lie n s"iie Nothing can be more ridiculous or egotiatical• ,oti is iii the horrors, whenever she hears the '''neo " Evelina", mentioned. If a gentleman or lady nisi to smile or talk in whispers in a party wher e she Are chance to he, she is perfectly convinced that thi n ile talking of her and " Evelina.' She entreats MTS.I oi not to expose her. She implores Dr. Johnson to g li s ',/ her "little secret." She blushes at every.allusion,t°oo of the characters in her tale, and expresse s a newt hope that 4 , Mr. Sheridan had never deigned t ° o3 lo at my trash !" Trash indeed ! Why, 3 1 a o el d'Arblay must have thought "Evelina" the first , D ors ever proanced, for she is not ashamed to repeat tier than once 1.;.r.
