A sum far more than equal to the value of the Policies is in vested in the public securities, in the names of the Trustees, so as to be at all times available. At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the Life Policies equal to twenty-five per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of five per cent. was added to the Shares in addition to the payment of the annual interest. The quinquennial meeting being only just past, a favourable opportunity now offers for the commencement of new Insu rances; parties now joining will be allowed to participate in the profits at the next division, as if they had been insured for the whole period. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a ape cific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower rates, has been calculated, on which, as well as on the partici pating scale, ONE-HALF THE PREMIUM MAY RE MAIN ON INTEREST AT FIVE PER CENT. FOR FIVE YEARS, thus enabling a person to assure his life for 1,000/. on the immediatepaymentof the premium for 500/. only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of 1001., for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted : Age 20, without profits £1 13 0 with profits £1 18 0 30 2 119 8 40 . ........... ... 2 14 3 50 ..................... 4 3 4 For short periods the premiums are considerably lower, and for any ag es or cont i ngencies not usually advertised, information may be obtained on application to the Actuary or Secretary.

The unavoidable consequence of this is, that we meet a very considerable proportion of indifferent, useless, and even bad books. With the force of thin prejudice on our minds, we with no little reluctance were induced to peruse Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood;" nor did it re quire much perusal fully to satisfy us that the book was not one of the common stamp. The scientific views taken by the authors of the source and origin of many of the most distressing effects of certain depraved habits, fully establish their claim to the character of experienced and judicious surgeons. To quote passages from the work in proof of our assertion would be departing from the established rules of the daily press. The result, however, of our careful perusal of the work, has been to impress us with a thorough confidence in the talent and skill of the authors, and to satisfy us that those entrusted with the care of youth are not a little indebted to them for fur nishing them with a means of preventing some of the most frightful maladies to which flesh is heir.—Old England. Messrs. Curtis's work, entitled "Manhood," is one of the few books now coming before the public on such a subject which can lay claim to the character of being strictly professional, at the same time that it is fully intelligible to all who read it. The moral and medical precepts given in it, render it invalu abie.—Magnet. The perusal of Messrs. Curtis's book entitled " Manhood," has really astonished us by developing aseries of maladies, the never-failing consequence of the vicious habit of which it treats. The clear connexion pointed out between the assigned cause and the effects is perceptible to every capacity. We strongly recommend the work.—Age. The multitude of books daily coming from the press, some, nay most of them of a very questionable tendency, made us ex tremely reluctant to take up another. Having, however, been induced by the character given of this work by an intelligent friend, we ventured to open its pages, and now feel no hesita • tinn in saying that we arise from its perusal instructed and edified. The clear exposition of the source of many of those diseases which proves so fatal to youth, and which are set down by the every-day observer as the result of common causes, surth as exposure to cold, sudden vicissitudes of tempe rature, hereditary taint, &c., is truly convincing and extre mely satisfactory. We say " satisfactory," inasmuch as Messrs. Curtis have shown that many diseases, such as Pulmonary Consumption, Epilepsy, &c., hitherto the opprobria of medi cine, may, when taken in proper time, and submitted to judi cious treatment, be brought to as favourable a termination as any other class of ffections. We do not think we go too far in saying that society is deeply indebted to the authors for producing so useful, so much wanted, so valuable, and so truly moral a book.—Conservative Journal. We recommend the work entitlea " Manhood," &c., to the careful perusal of persons of all classes. The moral as well as physical advantages sure to result from such perusal, will be most readily recognised and felt by those who stand most in need of them.—Statrsman. Messrs. Curtis and Company are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith -street, Soho-square, Londoi.. Country Patients are requested to be as minute as possible in the detail of their cases.—As to the duration of the com plaint, the symptoms, age, general habits of living, and occu pation in life of the party ; the communication must be ac companied by the usual consultation fee of 1/., without which, no .mtice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases the most inviolable secresy may tw relied on.

Established 1820. LITERATURE IN FRANCE. (From the Times.) We are gradually becoming inoculated by the French and German taste for cheap bibliopolism. Perhaps our fresh issues of books of sterling and recognised merit are almost as cheap as they could be made, consistently with careful production, with the supply of a service able paper, and with the excessive duty to which that article (of downright necessity) is in this country ridi culously subject. But the prices of all new books amon4st us, are perfectly enormous compared with those which prevail on the Continent. Every one who has been to Germany, knows what the fair of Leipsic produces. In France the business of publication is car ried on with perhaps still less expense to the public ; im mense editions are sold, and author and bookseller are both of them well remunerated. Facts in these cases are the only arguments. During the last eighteen months a serios of little works, entitled " Physiologies," as " Physiologic du Tailleur," " Phyt•iologie de l'Etudi ant," " Physiologic de I' Homme a Bonnes Fortunes," has issued from the Parisian press—not very voluminous cer tainly, but excellent in quality, and copiously illustrated by Gavarni and all the most eminent caricaturists of France. For these little works, for which a crown at least would be charged in London, with probably some lying nonsense in the trade puffs about " unprecedented cheapness," a single franc is charged in Paris. Let the London trade look to this. If they are not prepared to treat the public with liberality, with what face do they complain of want of encouragement ? So long as they publish their books at unpurchaseable prices, that they should break by dozens is only a natural conse• quence. A " Bibliotheque Francaise" is now being published in Paris, in thirty volumes, presenting, for three or four francs a volume, the works of the most celebrated writers of France, illustrated by learned notes and a selection of the racist esteemed commen taries. The publisher (it is no fulsome falsehood to call him " spirited") deals with nothing but clufs d'ceuvre, and has literally realized his promise that" leur extreme modicite de prix " would place these volumes in a state of the most satisfactory completeness, " a la portee de toutes les fortunes." There is a splendid work called "Le Jardin des Plantes," with richly coloured engravings of the highest excellence, zoologi cal, floricultural, and botanical, portraits of Cuvier, Buffon, and the other naturalists of France, views and plans of the gardens, &c., now going through the press in thick and voluminous parts, for 30 centimes (3d.) each ! If it must be our fate (which seems ex tremely probable) to be speedily outstripped in informa tion and intelligence by our neighbours of the Outre- Manche, let the shame rest upon monopolising money grinding booksellers. Let not penny magazines and cyclo ptedias for the diffusion and confusion of " useful know ledge" be flung in our teeth as an answer to these remarks. They are no answer; letterpress and illustrations are both the work of inferior men,incapable of awaking the popular mind or inspiring popular interest. But the illustrations of animal and vegetable nature to which we have alluded above ..re the productions of the first artists of France ; and elegance and exactitude of outline are rendered complete by the most magnificent colouring after na ture—what a contrast to the stark and staring woodcuts by which foreigners are so much diverted in our " penny literature I" In addition to the vast fecundity of the Parisian press in novels, romances, and tales interminable, bristling in .feuilletons, and packed into library volumes, there is likewise a translation-factory from the English kept pretty briskly at work. The lingual steam-engine is driven by M. Defauconpret, who has translated the works of Sir W. Scott for the Cabinets de Lecture. This gentleman has also translated several copies of Cooper's novels, and some of Captain Marryat's—the prefer ence of selection being unquestionably accorded to them in consequence of' their " naval" character—a school of art in which France is extremely backward. These translations, as may well be coccelved, are truly Frenchified affairs ; even the very names being cu riously and ridiculously metamorphosed ; thus we have " Monsieur le Midshipman Easy" for one title, " Le Marin a Terre" (" The Middy Ashore") for another, and the last issued figures as " Joseph Rushbroock.' But no Frenchman ever yet could spell an English name. The most noticeable thing about these publications is the remarkably cheap price at which they are sold. Each volume is charged only 3%f., whilst the pal triest translated trash that goes into our circulating libraries here is impudently priced at half a guinea a volume. The most splendid works of original fiction, witness Eugene Sue's " Mathilde," are pub lished at the same price as Defauconpret's translations. Observe how by this liberal arrangement author and public (and the bookseller himself in the long run) are benefited. Cheap reprints of " standard" English works, from French presses, abound ; and Galignani's establishment has been cut out in some directions, and forced in others to reduce its expensiveness, by which it rivalled even London humbug. There is scarcely a short book of acknowledged merit in the circle of Eng lish literature that you cannot purehaEe, reprinted in Paris by Frenchmen, yet with great accuracy, for Bd., 10d., or, at the very utmost, 15d. In this most asto nishing activity of the publishing world a very marked preference is given to English literature, the German being little cultivated. Mr. John Locke, who is mentioned as a Can didate for the Common Pleadership, in the event of a vacancy. was a candidate eight years ago, when no va cancy occurred, and was supported by Sir Peter Laurie, then Lord Mayor, and a very large proportion of the Corporation. Mr. Bodkin and Alr. Sydney Taylor were also candidates on that occasion. ALWAYS " POORLY."---" I feel quite unwell, and will take a little brandy and water," sail a member of a Temperance Society, who had promised to use no ardent spirits, except as medicine. "I am very unwell, my dear ; a little more brandy." Here is the brandy," ,nys the wife •, " and I wish the society further off, for you hav(i not Ind it well day duce you jowed it," STRANGE EXECUTION OF THE LAW IN GREECE. ATIIEKS, DEC. 10.—A few days since two of the most desperate brigands that have appeared of late years in Greece, were ordered to be executed in the neighbourhood of the capital, although they had been tried and condemned by the tribunal at Negropont ; the guillotine was erected close to the Phaierum, end the condemned were escorted from the Athens prison to the place of execution by a troop of lancers and a large body of gendarmes. As the Government had been foolish enough to allow their French Bourreau to be assassinated in ligina, without punishing the murderer, it was with the greatest difficulty they could find any body to perform the duty ; however, after a great deal of trouble, one of the prisoners volunteereo, on condi tion of being liberated, and immediately shipped off in a Government vessel for Turkey (knowing the danger he ran by remaining in Greece), besides receiving the usual enormous fee. Arrived, however, at the place of execution, the man made a formal demand for the written orders for his liberation, and openly expre:sed the little faith he reposed in such a Government. After a great deal of discussion, the Procureur du Roi was obliged to send back to Athens for the necessary documents, which naturally took a great deal of time. Every thing being at length set tled to their mutual satisfaction, one of the condemned was taken from the carriage, and led into the square formed by the military, where his fetters were taken off, and he was ordered to march up t.) the guillotine, a distance of some thirty paces ; but as a Greek is naturally inclined to disobey orders, he walked round, instead of up to the guillotine. The executioner en• deavoured, then, to lead him the place, when a violent struggle ensued between them ; both the mili tary and policemen present refused to interfere, and they were obliged to lead" the man back to the carriage, and the other was brought out. Having had such a good example before his eyes, he naturally pro fited by it, and being a younger and stronger man, he fairly gave the executioner and his aid a good drubbing, so that, after a struggle which lasted three-quarters of an hour, the executioner gave it up as a bad job. The crowd, which was immense for this part of the world, highly enjoyed the fun, and loudly applauded the con demned ; the authorities were excessively embarrassed. What was to be done? The day had been spent in a fruit less effort to execute a couple of brigands. To take them back to Athens would be too publicly publishing their shame; they were after a great deal of discussion taken to the Piraeus, and sent on board of a Government vessel. For three days a Council of Ministers was held to see what was to be done. The whole town was in an uproar ; the weakness of the Government had never been more ap parent. At last it was settled in a Council of Minis ters that a ruse should be employed, and a detachment of recruits were marched down to the burying-ground of the Piraeus, and the gendarmes having brought the condemned from the ship without their having the least idea of their going to be executed, as they had been led on board to hope they would be sent to the fortress of Palamide, in Nauplia, as had been the case last year with two others, suddenly the gendarmes opened to the right and left, and they were shot by the detach ment of recruits. As this was done at a very early hour, and as secretly as possible, for fear of refusal on the part of the military, very le vv were present. M. Gui zot must now be delighted at his protege's progress in Administration. NEWEST LONDON AND PARISIAN FASHIONS FOR JANUARY, 1842.

An English newspaper has lately been asserting that it was unjust to attribute conciliatory opinions to ti e Oxford school, and that it was altogether a gratuitous assumption, that the learned divines of that so justly celebrated University bad any desire to see the Anglican Church make any approaches to the Roman Catholic Church. In reply to this rash declaration we proceed to c:te, without any comment, a letter recently addressed to the Rev. Norbert Woolfrey, whose solid discourses have during the month of September last been listened to with interest by a great number of the English in the Church of St. Peter de Chaillot at Paris:— " As you wish me to send you some information re specting the Puscyites, and I have just now some par ticulars to communicate which will be highly gratifying to you, I have made up my mind to send you the fol lowing lines :-- "About 10 days ago two Puseyite clergymen dined with us in the refectory, in compary with Dr. Pagani, Mr. Furlong, and Mr. Phillips. One of these was Mr. Bloxam#, of Oxford ; the other, whose namet I have forgotten, is an officiating minister at Lichfield, a very amiable man, of great piety and profound learning. He is of a very good family. Last Sunday he taught the Ave Maria to the school children in his church. He said grace with us after dinner, made the sign of the cross, took some holy water on entering the church, prostrated himself to adore the holy sacrament in the tabernacle, and did this a second time on approaching the high altar. Mr. Bloxham was more reserved with respect to these outward demonstrations for several good reasons which Mr. P. explained to me aft erwar d.. o return to the clergyman from Lichfield ; he several times spoke of his confessor : in short he is quite a Catholic. He told me that it was a great pity that Mr. O'Con nell had not made use of his influence while the Whigs were in power to obtain a bishopric for some Puseyite clergyman, and added, We would have sent him to Rome to arrange matters with the Pope.' I answered, But what would you do if the bishops were to refute their consent ?; We would compel them,' he replied, by a pressure from without.' (Nous les y contraindrous, repondit-il, par une force exterieure.') ' And what do you con ceive would be the principal obstacle to this re-union ? ' His answer was,' The State.' He did not, however, appear to think that the Queen would make any great difficulty about giving up her supremacy. " With respect to the celibacy of the clergy, he told me that they had all made up their minds ; only it was hoped that the Pope would not compel those who were already married to put away their wives, and then they would be bound to leave certain of the sacerdotal func tions to be performed by unmarried priests. They are, moreover, he assured me, well disposed to submit to re ordination subconditione, all the time asserting his own belief that their present order was valid. . . . . "At his last visit this clergyman from Lichfield brought with him a young man, the son of a Protestant clergyman, who was on the point of setting out for Rome to read there, preparatory to taking holy orders. They both came to us into the fields, where the harvest was going on. They told us that the Pope had written a very paternal letter encouraging them to persevere in their endeavours ; and further assured us that among the Protestant clergy a great number were complete Jacobins, and rather heathens than Christians. As for them,' this clergyman added, ' as soon as the re union shall have been effected, we will send them about their business (' Nous ies renverrons') as well a; all those who refuse to join us (ainsi que tour ceux, qui refuseront de se joindre a nous')." In order to show our rea'ders how this Catholic movement in the bosom of the Anglican Church is ap preciated at Rome, we will transcribe a few words of the Learned Abbe De Luca, Editor of " Annales des Sciences Religieuses." " There is no need to go over again the doctrines maintained by the new school of theology in the Uni versity of Oxford, which is called after the name of its leader, the School of Pusey.SS We have several times enumerated the remarkable concessions made to the Catholics by this rising generation of Protestant theo logians, either more open or better informed, than their predecessors. We have even mentioned the Tracts for the Times,' published periodically by the partisans of the new doctrines There can be no doubt that it is the intention of the celebrated Professor Pusey to bring about, if he and his party can muster strength enough, the reunion of the two churches of England and Rome. The Rev. J. illoxam, Fellow of Magdalen College. ± The Rev. F. D. Wackerbarth, who has recently joined the Church of Rome. His " Tuba Concordim" is mentioned in the course of the letter. t This gentleman is probably Ambrose L. Phillips, Esq., Lord Shrewsbury's correspondent. He became a Romanist some 15 years ago. § Mr. Newman is the real leader of the party, not Dr. Pusey, who has no more right to give a name to it, than Ame • ricus Vespasius had to give a name to the new world. PUSEYISM. TO THE MOST REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, HIS GRACE THE LORD ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY, PRIMATE OF ALL ENGLAND AND METROPOLITAN. We, the subscribed, lay inhabitants of Cheltenham and devoted Episcopalians, regarding with dismay the recent development of the views inculcated by the authors of the " Tracts for the Times," venture to ad dress your Grace, as the chief ecclesiastical guardian of the Church of Christ in England, persuaded that many of their writings are utterly repugnant to the Word of God, at variance with the plain meaning of the Arti cles, Liturgy, and Homilies of the Church of England, and contain the essence of many of the most fatal errors of the Church of Rome. We therefore humbly entreat your Grace to take such measures as to your Grace may seem most advisable for the Episcopal Bench to declare, authoritatively, their united disapprobation of those opinions, which have already been separately condemned by many of the Bishops at their triennial visitations, as we doubt not they would have been by the remainder, bad similar oc casions presented themselves. We do not presume to dictate to your Grace, but present our request in solemn earnestness, as to one to whom the charge and oversight of the flock of Christ in this realm has been committed by the Chief Shep herd and Bishop of our souls. We, the subscribed, with every sentiment of respect, humbly beg to declare ourselves your Grace's most obedient and faithful servants. Lambeth, Dec. 24, 1841. GENTLEMEN—I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 23d of this month, accompanied by an address very numerously signed by many of the laity of Cheltenham, and I beg to assure you, that in compliance with the wish expressed by the petitioners, I shall give my grave consideration to this document. - I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servant, John Lewis, Esq., &c. W. CANTUAR. CORN-LAW SIMULTANEOUS MEETINGS. TO THE EMTOR OF THE SUN. have been a constant reader of your raper for some years, and very much approve of the able manner in which you advocate the abolition of the unrighteous Corn-laws. I was particularly gratified by your expose on Monday last, of Mr. Christopher's plan for altering the present law, and giving us one still more stringent and iniquitous. I sincerely hope that his miserable quibbles and subterfuges, worthy of his great leader, may be seen through by all true Reformers and Re pealers. Parliament meet on the 3d of next month ; would it not be desirable to have a simultaneous meeting on the same day of all the parishes of London, or even England, Scotland, and Ireland, to petition against these unjust and iniquitous laws ? The meetings should be held, say at seven in the evening, to enale men of business and working men to attend. Union in a good cause is strength, and must and will be irresistible. Two objects would be obtained by these meetings ; first, we could in the course of a few hours, obtain more than a million of signatures to the petitions ; and, secondly, the meetings could not be materially interrupted by the misguided Chartists. I do not use the language of the Tory Times, and call these men "a set of unprincipled scoundrels," though I cannot but consider them as misguided, and acting most wickedly and cruelly towards their suffering fellow labourers. In London, a few hundred of these men in terrupt the proceedings of public meetings, as they will go from Lambeth to Marylebone for this avowed pur pose ; but if meetings be held simultaneously in all parishes, their interruption would be comparatively feeble and harmless. Will you offer this suggestion to your fellow-labourers in the Liberal cause ?—Your obedient servant, A WIIIG REFORMER. Maryleboue, Jan. 1, 1842. DEATH OF MR. HOWARD.—We are sorry to announce the sudden death, by apoplexy, of the popu lar and distinguished writer, Mr. Edward Howard, the author of " Madill the Reefer," " The Old Commodore," "Outward Bound," "Jack Ashore," the "Life of Sir Sydney Smith," and many other works of distinguished merit. Mr. Howard was one of our most prolific and successful contributors to our higher branches of peri odical literature. In his temper he was cheerful ; in his habits, temperate ; and in his domestic life, mild and affectionate. As a husband and a father he was much beloved ; he was esteemed as a friend ; and much ad mired in society, of which, however, he had latterly been deprived by his total deafness. In convivial association he had always displayed fancy, wit, humour, and urbanity, but latterly his absolute deafness prevented any ore! coutmutheatiou. GLOBE.—When a Cabinet Minister delivers a set speech to his constituents, and makes the position and policy of the Government of which he is a member the subject -matters of his speech, such a production claims attention from the press, no less from the responsible station of its author, than from the interest which the public has in the intimations it gives of the intentions of the Government with respect to the measures it. de signs to submit to the Legislature for placing the great interests of the country on a basis calculated to pre serve them from injury, and to secure their advancement. Tots would hold good with respect to any individual member of the Cabinet at any time. But when tho public feeling is wrought up to en extraordinary pitch of painful excitement by commercial embarrassments, involving widely-spread privations and su'erings throughout every branch ofi our national manufactures, and when the previously hermetically-sealed intentions of the Government, as to the required changes in our system of commercial policy, to which, in a conseJe rabic degree, those embarrassments and sufferings are referred, have produced a craving after information as to the plans the new Government designs to propose for meeting the deficiency in the revenue and for re lieving the national distress, a speech from Sir James Graham to his assembled constituents will be regarded as little less than oracular. He has, in former days, written and spoken much and well on the " insane and cruel policy " of the Corn-laws. Those very laws which in Corn and Currency, he had denounced as fraught with all imaginable mischiefs to the country, in his speech to his constituents last auterna were eulo gised as the ne plus ultra of human wisdom, the per fection of legislation, to touch which would endanger the very sustenance of the people. Agitated as the country is ea this vital question—a question which in volves the existence of the Government, and, what is of greater importance, the revival of its trade and com merce and the supply of food, as the reward of labour, to millions of its people, it is the only natural result of Sir J. Graham's reputation as a political economist, and of his position as a member of the Government, which has obtained office by defeating the late Ministers on the questions of Free Trade as opposed to existing monopolies, that his speech at Dorchester, at such a time, should be regarded by all parties with deep earnestness. Such was the feeling with which we ap plied ourselves to the perusal of the Right Honourable Baronet's address. If we assert that the production is anything but calculated to realise the expectations created by its pretensions, we do so with regret. We wish, for the sake of the Right Honourable Baronet himself, and especially for the sake of the public, which has been deluded into the indulgence of hopes which have proved fallacies, that it had been otherwise ; that, instead of being a vague, frothy, un meaning effusion—a string of sentences uttered with a manifest intention of concealing, instead of revealing, the designs of the Government with respect to its fiscal and financial schemes, it had given some specific inti mation of its policy —some glimpse of hope amid the pressure of national calamity —some ray of light from the Treasury, by which the public, long left under the dominion of those fears which darkness is calculated to engender, and the perplexity and doubt which uncer tainty produces, might shape its course of opinion and of act, or at least be sustained until the Premier shall be pleased to reveal the grand Ministerial remedy for the deeply seated and widely-spread calamities of the country. Instead of this, however, we find Sir James Graham copying the bad example of his Chief. Sir Robert Peel at Tamworth is the copy which Sir James Graham at Dorchester strives to imitate. STANDARD.—The speech of Sir James Graham, at Dorchester, is naturally enough made the subject of ill-natured comments by the Opposition journals. The Right Honourable Baronet could scarcely anticipate that it would escape, and on the whole he has reason to be satisfied that his unfriendly critics can find so little in his address upon which to fix even plausible reproach. To be taxed with inconsistency through the whole of one's life, is a debt that must be paid by every man who does not sell himself absolutely to party, if it has been his misfortune to set out in bad company. No proof that he has always maintained his princi ples inviolate, and that it is in the maintenance of his original principles he has been separated from his first associates, will acquit a man, so circumstanced, of a seeming tergiversation : his enemies will say, and the vulgar will be too ready to believe, that be is always a deserter who is not always found in the same ranks. This is the fate of all men who act with the integrity and courage with which Sir James Graham has acted ; and doubtless the Right Honourable Baronet made up his mind to undergo this fate seven years ago. It is curious, however, and it is a circumstance of which Sir James may well be proud, that in seven years, during which he has been the object of constant attack on the score of inconsistency, a single charge of dereliction of principle has not been substantiated, or, as far as we can remember, even advanced against him. All that, roaligners can allege is, that he has not followed in the tortuous serpentine path of Lords Melbourne and John Russell—now resisting reform, now proposing it—now defending the Corn-laws as what it would be madness even to think of disturbing, now calling for a repeal of these same laws—now denouncing Mr. Daniel O'Connell as the public enemy, now licking the feet of that individual as the bulwark of the Go vernment, and the Throne itself. This path Sir James could not keep, because he chose to walk in a straight one, and, therefore, he inevitably fell out of the ranks of his early associates. Sir James began a Reformer ; aided in carrying the great measure to which he was committed from his outset in life ; and having aided in carrying reform, he properly took his place with those by whom reform is defended from its Saturnian parents—Saturnian in every sense—who would destroy it. There is no real inconsistency in this ; the inconsistency lies with those who propose an opposite course. We have ..said so much upon this point, because, in fact, - nine-tenths of the comments upon Sir James Graham's speech resolve themselves into attacks upon the personal consistency of the speaker. CO U RIE R.—We are daily assured by the dogmatic dolts of the Anti-Corn law League that the unrestricted admission of the corn of foreign States would be met by the unrestricted right of entry of cottons and wool lens into those States in return. The Smiths and the Cobdens answer for foreign States with an assurance and stolidity as imperturbable as if facultated with ple nary powers to conclude in their behalf, and with orders in their pockets for super calicoes and broad cloths as re turning cargo, on the moment that, through the surpassing effect of their eloquence, the Legislature should, to use a Scotch phrase, be concussed into a surrender of the Corn-laws. If, however, we come to ask for a sight of these powers, all that we can arrive at is, that Smith has the word of Bowring for the fact, whilst Cobden—proud of more direct associations—acquaints us that his au thority derives from certain understrappers of the Foreign office at Berlin, whom he used casually to meet at some cheap sailer kraut eating-house in that capital when on his travels ; for Cobden is a traveFed calico printer, if not legislator ; and although as innocent as the babe unborn of any acquaintance with foreign idioms, and but scurvily conversant with his own, yet be con trived, by a simple process of his own, to penetrate the mysteries of Cabinets, if he is to be believed, so as to be able to predicate their intentions in a given case. From his unhesitating confidence of speech and manner we should be inclined to suspect that all the wisdom of Sussex was concentrated in this same Mr. Cobden, who acquaints us that in that county he dates his birth and traces his lineage, is but un fortunately for him it seems t hat he no prophet :n his happen who u t t t o e r l k y n know some disclaims om e respectableo n people at ast , thereaboutsfor w e him and his pretensions. hie is clearly much more at home in the regions of cotton waste and the Hillgate than in the more enlightened land of his nativity, where probably he was regarded in the rightful character of a bore, if tut the boor he is anxious to pus for.
