TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. MR. EDITOII,—On my arrival here (after tra velling nearly the whole of the day from the west) I accidentally took up a newspaper of yesterday con _ tabling a report of a hearing at Bow -street, in which • my name appears; and, if the statements made by the complainant were true, in no very creditable • shape. The fact of my having been from London, and in a distant county, ever since the 3d of this month, is a flat contradiction to some of the state ments; and thank God it is unnecessary for me to vindicate my character with those who know me, from even an approach to any thing like the treat ment'which the complainant set forth. Her state ment is a gross misrepresentation —it is impossible I could treat any person so. Previously to my leav ing London I placed my house, as I have done before, for very sufficient reasons, under the manage ment of the complainant's own uncle, being her only relation in London, and the only person I can prevail on to live under the same roof with her. If any improper behavieur,on the part of the servant, has taken place, it shall be redressed. But what I complain of, Mr. Editor, is the bewailing observa tions of Magistrates, or ex-parte statements, pre judicial to individuals, not before them, with which the report of this case abounds. There is more weakness than wisdom is this ; and to increase the prejudice, some officer standing by (not sworn) is suffered to make some flippant observation, as to my refusing to attend, when in truth, at the time he says he saw me, I was, and had been for ten days, more than 130 miles from it; perfectly unacquainted with what was passing. I am unable to judge wheti:3r the report be cor rect, but I trust you will do me the justice to insert this in your Paper.—l am, Mr. Editor, your's, Bush Inn, Bristol, April 18. W. OSBALDESTON. [N.B. This letter would have appeared yesterday, but came at an hoer too late for insertion.] - - TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. CHEAP GOODS WITHOUT REMUNERATING PROFIT RUINOUS TO THE GENERAL INTE RESTS OF THE COUNTRY. • S/R,—Among the questions of most importance, that of ascertaining the cause of the present distressed etateof agriculture and commerce is the most difficult. I beg, therefore, to suggest, for the consideration of men most conversant with political economy, whe- Cher a great source of the evil does not proceed from goods being sold at a lower rate than for which they can be fairly and properly manufactured. The cry and run is for cheapness, (plenty and other cir cumstances form little or no consideration with thole who seek for cheap goods,.---but who are the real sufferers in the end ? The country. If the labourer cannot be remunerated by the farmer, he flies to the poor-rate. If the farmer or grazier can not sell his corn or cattle at a fair profit, he seeks from the landlord an abatement of rent. If the landlord reduces his rent, he must lessen his own ex penditure. If the manufacturer is obliged to take low prices for his goods, ho also reduces the labourer's wages and pauperises him. And thus both employer and labourer, if they find a reduction in their income or profit, whether reckoned weekly or annually, reduce their expences to meet their altered circumstances, and the end is as persons have less means of purchase, various goods become cheaper and greater drugs upon the community, and houses and lands are reduced iu value, and every clue of society risk becoming impoverished alike for want of the means of purchasing what they re quire ---and the longer this unnatural state of things exists the greater will be the mischief that will fall upon the general interests of the country. If this should prove to be the source of the evil, the atten tion of Goyernment should be drawn to restore the country to a healthy state. The first step towards a return to such a state of convalescence would be by raising the wages of labourers generally to such a rate of payment as would enable an industrious man to maintain his flintily; he would soon begin with his increased means to purchase such necessities as he might re quire, and those necessities being so supplied, would lead to • gradual and regular improvement in trade, for labourers are not the persons to lay by money, they will employ and circulate it. It may be by some persons objected that they would only spend it in public-houses, and no benefit would be derived. To this objection the only answer to be given is, there is no real good without some admix ture of evil ; but admitting this should take place to a certain extent, yet the condition of the publican would be improved (and through him other traders), consequently it would enable him to provide him self with more useful articles than he now can under his depressed state; and whatever money is produced in the shape of labour will through one or other of these channels obtain a general circulation throughout the country, improve trade all around, and effect that sort of improvement as will be felt by every commercial interest in the country. Another step would be to check competition in some degree, which in fact only creates an unnatural cheapness. To effect this, means should be taken its much as possible to raise the price of every manu factured article to a healthy price. This requires great consideration, and would in part be effected by the goods taken off through the increased reduc tion of money by labour. I am quite satisfied the Present low prices of drapery goods in particular is neither beneficial to the manufacturer, to the labourer, nor to the drapers (taking them collec tively as a body), and certainly not to the public, for this cheapness only creates insolvency and dis tress throughout the country. No trade can beneficially be carried on without a remunerating profit, and no country can subsist upon cheap goods alone, if the population cannot find the means of purchasing them ; goods can only be esteemed cheap when all the productive classes can reap such returns as will enable them to pur chase at the market price, and it is quite a bugbear to call out for cheap goods and free trade at the fxpence of the manufacturer and labourer, because, I%tdrestroying or reducing them to necessity or - lonhly falls ultimately u . pon the country at , large. have made myself intelligible to you, Mr. Editore,oand to your readers, I trust some per bons more te 7 e v a e t r a tia o n f t with the commercial and agri cultural • hints from this lettiveirll draw some as tbo m c a o y untry may standing of what lead to a better undtelre cottntry in its presen_tou4 t effectually relieve depressed state, I am, Sir, April 18, 1811 D. r ' fie ry obedient servant.

SATAN-A POEM. Extract from the Second Edition of Mr. Montgomery's Satan : Thou dread Avenger ! ever-living One ! Lone Arbiter ! Eternal, Vast and True ; The soul and centre of created things In atoms or in worlds ; around whose throne Eternity is wheel'd ; who look'st--and life Appears; who frown'at--and life bath pass'd away ! Thou God !—I feel Thine everlasting Curse, Yet wither not : the lightnings of Thy wrath burn in my spirit, yet it shall endure Unblasted,—that which cannot be extinct.. Thou sole Transcendency, and deep Abyss From whence the universe of life was drawn! Unutter'd is Thy nature ; to Thyself Alone the proved, and cemprehended God ; Though once the steep of thine Almightiness This haught, unbowing spirit would have clitnb'd, And sat beside thee, God with God enthroned,— And vanquish'd, fell.—Thy Might I'll not diseldim. Immutable ! Omnipotence is Thine; Perfections, Powers, and Attributes unnamed Attend Thee; Thou art All ; and oh, how great That consummation ! Worlds to listening worlds Repeat 'it ; angels and archangels veil Their wings, and shine more glorious at the sound : Thus, Infinite and fathomless, Thou wert, And art, and wilt be. In Thine awful blaze Of majesty, amid empyreal pomp Of Sanctities, chief Hierarch, I stood Before Thy throne terrifically bright, And heard the hymning thunders ♦oice thy name, While how'd the Heavens, and echoed Deity ! Then heaved a dark and dreadless swell of pride Within me ; an ambition, huge and high Enough to overshadow The Supreme, In fell intensity before me tower'd, And fronted pride against Omnipotence! Thus rose the anarchy, the hell of war Amid the skies ; then frown'd embattled hosts, In unimaginable arms divine,— But why recount it ?--we were disarray'd, And sent in flaming whirlwinds to the deep Tartarean, where my never-ending doom Is Hell !—but Thou art Heaven, and Heaven is God. And yet divided empire have I won. Behold the havoc in Thy Beauteous world ! And have I not, recount it, Space and Time ! Thy master-piece, creation's god of clay, Dethroned from that high excellence he proved, When first man svalk'd a shadow of Thyself ? Prostration vile, an alienate from Thee, Man is ;—and shall his fallen nature rise, Regain her height, and fill ethereal thrones ? Many a cloud of evil shall he burst Ere that day come ; severe and dread the strife Of sullied nature with the soul of man ! Wherever localized, whate'er his creed, Temptation, like a spirit, tracks his path, Though every pang by sin produced, Increase The agonized Eternity I bear ! A doleful midnight to cerulean day Is not more opposite, than I to Thee: I hou art the Glorious, I the Evil One ; Thou reigu'et above ; my Kingdom is below ; Oa earth, 'tis thine to succour and adorn The soul, through Him the interceding Judge, By thoughts divine, and agencies direct; To cheer the gentle, and reward the good, And o'er the many waves and woes of life To pour the sunshine of Almighty love : 'Tis mine to darken, wither, and destroy Creation and her hopes,—to make them hell ! Then roll thee on, thou high and haughty World, And queen it bravely o'er the universe ! Still be thy sun as bright, thy sea as loud In her sublimity, thy floods and winds As potent, and thy lording elements As vast in their creative range of power, As each and all have ever been : build thrones, And empires, heap the mountain of thy crimes, Be mean or mighty, wise or worthless still,— Yet I am with thee ! and my power shall reign Until the trumpet of thy doom be heard, Thine ocean vanisli'd, and thy heavens no more ! Till thou be tenantless, a welt'ring mass Of fire, a dying and dissolving world : And then, Thy hidden lightnings are unsheath'd, O God ! the thunders of Despair shall roll ; Mine hour is come, and I arn wreck'd of all, All, save Eternity, and that is mine! T/IE DENOUNCED.—The forthcoming work under this title, by the author of the O'llara Tales, con sists, we understand, of two stories, entitled, " The Last Baron of Cranegh," and " Conformists." They relate to the unhappy feuds and dissension. that to long agitated the sister kingdom on matters of religion. The period chosen by the novelist in the former of these tales is the time of WILLIAM and MARY—in the latter that of GEORGE 11., when the most rigorous laws were in force against the Catholics, who were, in consequence, fre quently compelled to renounce the creed of their father, or to fly their country. The work is said to possess an interest worthy the fame of the writer. The Bristol and Portsmouth mail-coach, having turned out a losing speculation, ceased running on Sanday week ; the letter-bags are now conveyed by carts. A tailor at Southampton, with the view of getting his debts paid, has stuck up the names of such of his customers whose bills are not discharged in his shop window, exposed to the scrutiny of every passer-by. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. We give the following very amusing and parti cular account of a most farcical scene that took place here last night, between Madame VESTTZIS and Mr. ANDERSON, from the Mornin,gChronicle of this day. It will, no doubt, greatly entertain our readers : In all our theatrical experience, we never wit nessed such a scene as occurred at this house last night. We need not remind our readers of what has recently occurred at Bow-street, and at the Sessions, relating to a certain real or supposed con spiracy, farther than to state that the scene to which we refer grew out of those proceedings, the principal actors in the one being the principal parties in the other—Madame VESTRIS and Mr. ANDERSON.-- The performance advertised—Guy Mannering— was very different from that which was really repre sented, as we will endeavour to show, apologising at the same time for our own feeble powers, espe cially as we are deprived of the usual resource of nonplussed paragraph penners that such and such a situation "is more easily imagined than described." We defy any body who was not present to fancy a scene of such absurd confusion as two persons in a condition so painful, yet so ridiculous. Mr. ANDERSON took the part of Ileniy Bertram, for the first time, and Madame VesTitts that of Julia Mannering, whether also for the first time we do not recollect, and the managers, as if they antici pated some disturbance, had judiciously arranged that they should not come on the stage together without a propitiatory introduction : accordingly, the duet of " Now Hope, now Fear," was sung by Madame VESTRIS on the boards, and by Mr. AN DERSON behind the wing, and from first to last it was heard with so much attention, that we supposed that all was going off quietly, and that the house, which was a very full one, would not think it proper or just to interfere with a matter in a course of legal investigation ; but Mr. ANDERSON no sooner set his foot on the stage than the whole atmosphere was filled with the contesting din of hoots, groans, shouts, hisses, and a very considerable share of vigorous applause. He stood firmly for some mo ments, then bowed, and finally addressed himself to Madame VESTRIS, in order to continue his part. Not being able to proceed, he again bowed to each side and to the centre, but without avail, and at length stepped forward to the foot-lights, with an air of self-possession, as if he meant to address the house. Silence was not obtained without difficulty; but Mr. ANDERSON was finally permitted to say--" Ladies and Gentlemen, if your displea sure proceed from anything you hare seen in the public prints, 1 can only say, that the assertions of Madame VESTRIS and her friends on that subject are without foundation." At this time Madame VESTRIS was standing in the rear of the stage, but immediately she heard this statement she came for ward with a quick step, and after looking Mr. ANDERSON full in the face, with no very agreeable expression of countenance (at least as disagreeable as a pretty woman could look), she turned to the audience as if she were disposed to speak. A great number of the lady's friends, particularly in the Pit, had taken offence also in her behalf at the supposed charge of falsehood, and were most vociferous in their exclamations against Mr. ANDERSON, who on his part did not seem at all disposed to allow Madame VESTRIS to gain possession of the house, and was supported by a strong party of adherents, so that the contest was maintained on both sides with great energy. In the midst of the disturbance, and while boxes, pit, galleries, and stage were in equal confusion, WaLeacK stepped from the wing in his capacity of stage-manager, and stretched his arm, like Pros pero's, to allay the storm, but not with equal po tency. lie then rubbed his hands together, bowed rather with the air of " an injured gentleman," and after sundry other congas, was allowed vird voce to interpose. " To save (he said) a performer of great celebrity from being placed in a most painful situa tion, I come forward." No more was heard for this time, because it seemed to the audience that Ma dame VESTRIS neither asked nor needed such assist ance, however well intended, and again nothing was audible for some moments. WALLACK continued to gesticulate and to be eloquent with arms, legs, and back, independent of reproachful shakes of the head, and when he was again heard he only added, " HOW ever talented our fair vocalist may be, she is not ac customed, I apprehend, to extempore speaking," meaning of course, that he was anxious to be her mouth-piece; still Madame VESTRIS did not seem to be duly sensible of the obligation, or of the necessity for it, and again advanced to the front of the stage, to the back of which she bad previously retreated, while Mr. AN DERSON occupied the 0. P. corner : she expanded her pretty round arms, and gave such a supplicating look, that there was no denying anything, and silence was obtained almost without opposition. She did not, however, instantly avail herself of the opportu nity, but pulled out her delicate white handkerchief, and wiped her eves and cheeks, until she made the first red, and the last white, as if she had conveyed the rouge from the one to the other. We conclude that she shed " some few natural drops" rather of vexation than of grief, and after a final rub of the eye and a toss of the head, she thus spoke : " Ladies and Gentlemen,—lf I had not the mast distinct proofs of what I have asserted, I should not have taken the legal steps to which I have resorted. I can establish beyond doubt that Mr. ANDERSON has entered into a conspiracy to drive me from the stage. I must either have adopted the course I have pursued, or I must have submitted to what was the object of my enemies. I shall only add, that if Mr. ANDERSON can clear himself from the imputation of insulting a female (I will not say unprotected, while I have your kind support), nobody will b e more rejoiced at such a result, however unexpected, than I shall be. Give me leave to observe, that the question between us is about to be brought be fore a different, and in some respects a more compe tent, tribunal, and perhaps, therefore, you may not think it right to decide it now. I earnestly hope that what has passed elsewhere will not be al lowed to interfere with your entertainment this evening." This address, and the manner in which it was de livered and received, showed Mr. WALLACE that his intervention was not required; and that Madame VESTRIS was, at least, as good as himself at " ex tempore speaking." The tide was turned at once against Mr. ANDERSON; but he came forward un dismayed, and did not hesitate to look Madame VESTRIS full in the face as boldly as the Lieutenant gazed at the tiger (she must excuse the simile) in the Tower, according to the fan-fetching ballad " And when so grimly looked the tiger, He looked grim at her again." However, to look was all he was allowed; and a lusty grey-headed admirer of Madame VESTRIS in the pit was particularly instrumental in keeping up the animosity of that portion of the audience. " I wish to explain"—" I do not mean to accuse Madame VESTRIS"—" She has been imposed upon"—" She is utterly mistaken"—and ejacu lations of that sort, were heard in the pauses of the storm, but nothing connected; and WALLACK had the good sense to retire, seeing that he was not wanted, and that he could do no good. Madame VESTRIS also flung from the stage, after casting a look of " measureless disdain" upon the object of her displeasure. ANDERSON had nothing left but to proceed with his part : for he was clearly out speechified and out-generalled by " our great Cap li - tain's Captain?' Everything was against him, ex cepting some few faithful adherents in extremity, who endeavoured to keep up his spirits while he acted a song; whether it had any words, he any voice, or the orchestra any sound, was a mys tery. When Madame VESTRIS returned to the boards to pursue her part, something must have passed between her and Mr. ANDERSON, as she darted from him, and exclaimed, " I will not stay, Sir, to be insulted !" or words to that effect ; while he was left to shrug his shoulders, and to look as collected as he could. We must say that his situa tion was, in some respects, much to be compassion ated ; and the, under very trying and novel eireum- Foances, he conducted himself with great firmness and general propriety. Madame VEsTuts has de cidedly the advantage of him in experience and popularity. If Mr. ANDERSON'S friends were no! so numerous as those of Madame VESTRIS, they were very persevering in their hostility to the lady during the rest of the performance ; and when, before hei• song " The Banners of Blue," she was received with a few unwelcome hisses, she could not com mand her temper, and exclaimed impetuously, " Ladies and Gentlemen—ln what have I of fended you, that you receive me with hisses every time I come upon the stage ?" This appeal was followed by general and loud applause; but the expressions of disapprobation were not wholly dis continued. After this exposure (we can call it nothing else,) it was ludicrous to hear Madame VEsTRts and AN DERSON, as their parts required tendering affectiGn to each other, but it was always done with a very ill grace : to the last moment the lady kept her " wild unaltered mien," for when Henry Bei tram, near the fall of the curtain, is obliged to take her hand, she let him pick it up from her side without the slightest corresponding action on her part, and withdrew it with a scornful air as soon as ever she could do so with the slightest decency. Of course, it is out of the question to criticise the singing— ANDERSON had bawled himself hoarse, and Madame VESTRIS, if not out of voice, was out of sorts. Miss STEPHENS was encored in one or two of her songs, but her tones and execution excited compa ratively little attention, all parties looking forward to the time when Madame VEsTRts and Mr. AN DERSON should be again making " hateful love" for their entertainment.

Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. PAYNE and a respectable Jury, at St. Bartho lomew's Hospital, upon the bodies of the following seven individuals who lost their lives in consequence of the dreadful fire which took place in Fetter-lane, on last Sunday morning. John Howard, aged 55 years, Nvho (Ned in the hospital. Charlotte Burgen, 16 years of age, who died in the hospital. Margaret Syrett, aged 79 years, wLo was dug out of the ruins about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. Mary Ann Burgen, .50 years of age, who was dug out of the ruins on Monday even;ng at seven o'clock. William Howard, 'l4 years of age, Mary Ann Howard, 48 years of age, and Mary Caney, 70 years of age, who were dug out o f th e ru i ns b e f ore four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The bodies of the last five individuals were viewed by the Coroner and Jury nt the house of Mr. Russell, the undertaker, of No. 51, Fetter-lane, after which they returned to the hospital to receive evidence. Mr. John Grant, of No. 84, Fetter-lane, the house where the fire broke out, said that his bed room was on the first floor back room. He retired to bed at half-past eleven, and heard the alarm of fire about half-past one o'clock on last Sunday morning. He found his room full of smoke, and on openinr; the door the flames rushed into the room. He got to the front room of tile first floor, and found some of his lodgers there. The window was open, and he thre , A. himself out of it. There were a mail, his wife ; and three children lodging on the first floor. Mr. Wade and his wife lodged on the ground floor. Mrs. Syrett lodged in one of the front rooms on the second floor. Mr. Howard, his wife, and son slept in a back room of the same floor, and Mrs. Caney, Mrs. Burgen, her son and daughter, occupied two of the attics. The house keeper of the witness, and William Henderson his journeyman, slept in the other two attics. lie thought all the lodgers were in bed when he retired to rest. Ladders were brought, but he thinks the lodgers who escaped did so through the windows before the ladders arrived. A ladder was placed at Mrs. Syrett's window, but too late. On his getting outside, the fire appeared to burn the strongest in the shop and front parlour. The wit ness had only one gas-light in the house. Mrs. Mary Lawson, a lodger of Mr. Grant's, on the second floor, went to bed at eleven, and heard the cl'y of fire at half-past one o'clock. She opened the loom door, and the flames came up thereto, but could not say whether from the cellar or the parlour. The witness escaped at the front window of her room by a ladder, and she does not know how the fire originated. She knocked and called loudly at Mrs. Syrett's room-door, but received no an swer. Jame Tarr, the watchman, at half•past one on Sunday morning, saw smoke issuing from the shop door, and from the shutters of the parlour windows —he knocked violently at the door, and sprung his rattle. The first person he saw was a woman, who threw herself from the first-floor window, and he caught her in his arms, in her night-clothes. Thomas Bennett, a waiter at the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane, confirmed the watchman's testi mony, as to seeing the fire break out, and said that he saw three persons throw themselves from the front windows. Henry Wade, who occupied the parlour on the ground floor of Mr. Grant's, said, that he and his wife slept there. They went to bed, on the night in question, about half-past eleven. They were awakened by the oppressive heat of the room, and by dense smoke; he opened the door, and found the back cellar, the storehouse over it, and the passage leading to the staircase all on fire. The witness means Mr. Grant's cellar, where coals, wood, and shavings were kept. He and his wife escaped at the front door. He did not shut it after him, but by means of a spring lit shuts itself. Some of the lodgers were going up and down stairs till twelve o'clock at night. The witness and his wife es caped in their night clothes only, but they dragged a trunk and writing-desk out of the house. Samuel Howard came forward and identified the three Howards,—his father, mother, and brother. Other witnesses identified all the seven bodies. Mr. Barrett, the Foremsi: of the Jury, stated to the Coroner and his fellow-jurors, that upon his as sisting in taking the body of Mary Caney out of the ruins, he found in her pockets fourteen sovereigns and a half: for the present they remain in his pos session. At a quarter to eleven o'clock, the CORONER, at the desire of the Jury, adjourned the inquest till Thursday afternoon, in order to examine further evi dence, and to trace the cause, and what part of th(: house the fire broke out. [ln a previous account of the above dreadful ca tastrophe, the name of Mrs. Ewins is given instead of that of Mrs. Syrett.] STATE OP TRADE.—We are happy to learn that trade is progressively improving in Oldham and the neighbourhood; we believe more so there than in the cir cumjacent towns and villages. Indeed the great mass of the population consists of the various hands employed in the manufacture of hats, and the prices paid to the work men in that branch of business have suffered no diminu. tion during all the recent depression in every other trade. Manchester Mercury. BURCKHARDT.—The new work by this cele brated traveller, entitled " Notes on the Bedouins and Wahabya," may now be shortly expected. It will com promise, we understand, not only an enumeration of the Bedouin. tribes, and a statement of their various local establishments, numbers, and military force, but an account of their extraordinary manners, customs, and iestitutions; of their arts and sciences, and many other interesting par ticulars. The second part of the volume will contain a history of those Mahommedan sectaries and fierce enthu siasts, the Wahabys, tracing them from their earliest ap pearance as reformers of the last century, through all their wars with ether Arabs and with the Turks down to 1816, that year in which the author returned frosn Arabia, the scene of action, to Egypt, where, not long after, a premature death terminated his career, and prevented the accomplishment of many other important designs. ANOTHER CASE OF MEDICAL POISONING AT FINCIILEY.-Much excitement has been created at Finchley for some days past owing to the following cir cumstance, so nearly resembling the melancholy case of the late Mrs. PHILLIPS :-A Mrs. GEARY, the wife of a poor labouring roan residing near the church, was attended in her acceuchernent by the apothecary on Thsrsday week and by him safely delivered of a female child. The nurse was told a draught should be sent, which was to he given Mrs. G. as soon as it came; and about four o'clock a bottle arrived accordingly, the contents of which were given to her. Half an hour afterwards the appearances left no doubt that some mistake had been made in the medi cine, and they sent off immediat.sly to the doctor, who ar • rived between six and seven. In the meantime the poor woman showed the most distressing symptoms of baring been poisoned, and the greatest exertions were used to keep her from sleeping, by pinching her, &c. &c. She felt she was dying, and took leave of her other children. The doctor, having brought a stomach-pump with him, extracted the contents, and continued to inject and ex tract warm water, &c. for about three-quarters of an hour, arid ren.tined with her all night and the following day, al lowing her only to sleep ten minutes every four hours. On Monday little hopes remained of her recovery, and five doctors continued with her all night. Although she now remains in a precarious state it is thought she will recover. It turned out that the bottle contained two ounces of pure laudanum, and only for time prompt exertions of the nurse death must inevitably have ensued, the quantity being about thirty times the usual dose given in such cases. It should be stated there was no label or other writing sent with the bottle. Mr. PARBERAY, of the Queen's Head, has used ever y endeavour to mitigate the misery which their poverty would otherwise have aggravated.-111 i orn ng paper. SPIRIT OF Tf7E PUBLIC JOURNALS. In remarking on the subject of the Greek loans, end denouncing the guarantee said in the foreign journals to be required by the Sovereign elect of Greece for the cld creditors of his prineipslity, it is almost superfluous again to repeat, that the pecu niary situation of his Royal fliglineaa, and the onerous pecuniary bargain which be is understood to be driving with the Allies, were our only mo tires for descending to any renewed node,: of the claims of the present Greek bondholders, or the :ilmost-forgotten knaveries formerly practised in Greek stock. Who would now think of ripping up the contracts made with elle South American Re publics, or calculating what proportion the money actually transmitted across the Atlantic bore to the immense nominal debt created against them in Lon don ? The advances made to the trans-Atlantic States may appear inadequate for the obligations which they incurred, but not for the credit which they enjoyed; and with the manner of disposing of the money so raised we have nothing to do. The Greek bondholders would have been &slimily be neath or beyond our scope, and their speculations, though more questionable in some respects, would have been equally sacred from the intrusion of our criticism, had it not been proposed to indemnify them at the expense of the Allies. They may have and retain their mortgage on all the vineyards of the p e t o p onnesus an d the islands—on all the °lire , groves of Attica—on all the bees of Mount Hymn tus,—they may even, for an we care, have a pledge on all the marble of the Parthenon, and all the antiquities to be dig from the sell of Greece for the next hundred years; but we insist that they shall have no mortgage or severity on the land and labour of England. Accordingly, we say, that as we must, for an object which at once affects the in terests of humanity and the security of our trade in the Mediterranean, advance a subsidy or guarantee a loan to the new Sovereign whom respect for our Government has raised to the throne of Greece, let that subsidy or guarantee extend only to what is barely necessary for the occasion, and include no ancient transactions. It will appear to us snrpris ing, if his Royal Highness, upon reflection, is not helped to the same conclusion by that feeling of justice and that exercise of good sense which may be regarded as necessary qualifications for guiding him in his new career, and inspiring eoafidence into his new subjects. Should he not see that the heist security which the creditors of Greece ea u obo ‘ nri is to be found in the order and tranquillity vr . h . teh his presence in th a t coun t r y may establish, it he proceeds thither with the good will of the Allies ? Is there no danger that by asking too much lee may lose all ? Is his title nlreelly so secure that he may provoke with impunity the oatracism of its nuthore May not the excess of his demands drive his patrons to look out for another customer who will acept a Greek Crown on lower terms ? We pot these questions to the Prince with no hostile fec3rig. We arc anxious for the conclusion of an arrange ment which is both honourable to him and the na tion out of respect to which he was nominated, be cause we see that delay has its inconveniences, and may not even be without its dangers. Germany can still supply a Sovereign for Greece as is lately fur- Dished candidates for the Greek throne; and if Prince. Paul, " of the Opere,"—the Princes of Baden, the young Duke of Oldenburg—and other' branches of the sosereign farnily trees which spread over that land so fertile in such plants, are as diffi cult tie Prince Leopold, the Allies may look out among the Princes of the Phanar, and Grid perhaps talents as conspicuous and acoompliehmente as well adapted to their purpose.—Thss.s. A Ministerial Morning Paper Informed its readers the other day, with much official solemnity, that no marriage would take place between Prince Swart zenburg and the divorced Lady Ellenboreugh, be cause the Prince is a Roman Catholic, and the Ro man Catholic religion does cot sanction the disso lution of the marriage contract by a divorce for adul tery or any other cause, except such a one as makes the marriage void from the beginning. It is of little consequence, we think, to the British public whether the parties whose names have been of late so unhappily notorious, intermarry or not; but it is a,oi The hfyo s em o n m cnoer e hdeu hci m phal p on o ont r fh t Eau: questionin l e g e o !at, tes peoplestrictly hyl saapishouldffleoea allow ti stnh n ge o : htmdehoaeer marriage anogi not sacred obligation that human beings can contract. iah tie to be dissolved for adultery, or any other cause which does not affect the original validity of the en gagement. The reason is, that the canon law is recog nised by both Churches; and that, unlike the civillawr regards the inarriase, when once valid, as indisso luble, except by death. There ares however, two sorts of divorces—that a trinculo vustrittionii, and that a mensci et thoro. In the Church of Epgland nothing can he a ground of such a divorce' as the former—a divorce which severs the marriage knot— but the original incapacity of the parties to enter into the matrimonial alliance; such as too near a degree of consanguinity—a pre-eoatract, idiotcy, or insanity ; but adultery, cruelty, See., may be a ground of the latter sort of divorce, which separates from bed and board, but doss not annul the marriage-tie. In the Roman Catholic Church, however, the Popo has a power superior to the canon law, and be may grant a dispensation from the marriage tie, which operates as a divorce a vinculo matrimonii. How was Bonaparte enabled to put away his wedded wife and marry another—that other being a Roman Catholic—a Princess of Austria—one of that very family to whom Prince Swartzenburg is related ? So much for the accuracy of the writer who would persuade us that Roman Catholics never admit the marriage tie to be dissolved by any cause arising subsequently to the marriage. But, supposing there was no such dispensing power in the Papal Church, what would the doctrine of divorce, as un derstood by Roman Catholics, have to do with this matter ? Is not Lady Ellenbormigh an English Protestant, and has she net been divorced accord ing to the laws of her own country ? We admit that the authority which has divorced bar is objec tionable, and ought um to exist; but while it does exist it is the law of the land, sad as binding as the original contract of marriage. If a Roman Catholic cannot acknowledge a Protestant divorce, he cannot, on the same principle, acknowledge a Protestant marriage; and, in that view of the ease, Prince Schwartzenburg is not hotted to regard Lady El lenborough as ever having been married. The power which the House of Common: exercises in England in this respect le similar to the power which the Pope exercises in Roman Catim!ic countries. It is a dispensing power, which violates religious obligations, encourages immorality, and ought to be abolished. It is not more opposed to the interests of morality than to the parity of the Protestant faith.—Morning Herald. In England we are so accustomed to fictions, in the State as well as in the Law, that it has at length come to be considered as proper that the reality should always differ from that which it appears to be. So accustomed are we to hear •f concealed objects under the pretended objects, that when a business with a fair exterior is spoken of, the ques tion first asked usually is, what is the real meaning of this ? It is taken for granted that an English Statesman is thoroughly imbued with the English system ; that he uses language for the purpose of obtaining, in a round-about way, whet in countries in which the public is entitled to no deference is obtained directly. In a word, an English politician does not plunder directly, hut he jobs. From the highest to the lowest, in Church and Stete—from the is A rc hbi s h op to t h e lowest employe— all s job, job. Reform in England, when proposed by men in power, always means job ; though the dis covery of the exact nature of the job is not always made in time to enable the well-intentioned to defeat it. One of the jobs now before Parliament is the Bill of the Lord Advocate for altering . the, Judicial In stitutions of Scotland. We have juat ; Viceived front Edinburgh a valuable pamphlet, expoidag that job in all its ugliness. The title is, " Ra t s tar k e on t h at part of the Lord Advocaterti IA hi "hosing the
