Then it was, that he expressed to myself and ether friends, his determination to give to the public a statement of facts as they actually took place, clearly to prove that this claim of Colonel Gurwood was incon sistent with the truth. Of this determination I need not say that I most cordially approved ; and I will still maintain, that to have acted otherwise in this respect, w,uld have been, on his part, a most uncalled-for, as well as pusillanimous. abandonment of what was justly due, not to hitnsclf alone, but also to the gallant men who supported him so nobly upon this memorable occasion.

Mr. Editor,—ln the number of the United Service Magazine for August, 1843, you did me the favour to insert some observations, and also various letters corro borative of the narrative of my late brother Major Mackie, relative to his services at the assault and cap ture of Ciudad Rodrigo in 1812, which was inserted by Major-General Napi , r in the Appendix to the sixth volume of the " Ilittory of the Peninsular War," and the accuracy of which had been impugned by Colonel Gurwood in the pages of - your journal? The substance of thalnarrative may be state'd'thes: "That having en tered the main breach; the storming party of which he headed, he passed into the town, and following with his party a portion of the enemy retreating from the walls, - first gained the citadel, the gates of which the enemy in their haste had neglected to tower or keep where the Governor and his officers had taken refuge." . fasten, then reached the On reaching this tower be solemnly asserts that he found the door of it shut, that he summoned those within to surrender, that the door was then opened and a sword delivered up to him in token of submission,. In his narrative he further solemnly declares, that he no sooner got this sword into his hand, than two French officers laid hold of him fir protection, one by each arm, ard being thereby prevented , stepping forward at the moment, clearly, however, after the surrender of the tower, Colonel, then Lieutenant, Gurwood came up, and passing him hastily while thus encumbered, got to the Governor end received his sword; but, as these facts most clearly prove, not until the Governor and all within were prisoners of war to Major Mackie and his party. Among the letters which I allude to as corrobo rative of this narrative of facts, is one from Sergeant Brazil, who was of the party'on the occasion, and who sow the door opened, and the sword received in token of surrender, and who expressed- his willingness to verify on oath the evidence he gives. The character - of Ser geant Brazil f , r ability and integrity, and therefore his perfect credibility as a witness, is in the very strongest terms vouched fur by the officers of his former corps. Expressing, as you did, a wish that the controversy as to the respective claims of Colonel Gurwood and Major Mackie should be considered at a close, so far as the pages of your journal were concerned, I learned with re gret, a few months after that you had inserted another article, further to impugn the justice of my brother's claim, and that from a correspondent who withheld his name. As being anonymous. and no way entitled to weigh against the evidence of witnesses that gave their names, and whose credibility could not possibly be im peached, I willingly yielded to the opinion of those friends who considered that lucubration as unworthy of notice. The case, however, is entirely changed, finding, as I do, that the article in question has been reprinted with the writer's name, in a pamphlet, now in the course of private cireulation by Colonel Gurwood, among his military and other friendsagiving it thereby an import ance to which, when anonymous, it was not entitled. That Lieutenant Thornton, the writer of this letter, formerly of the 94th R giment, is a man of honour, as being a British officer, I am not permitted to express a doubt. That he .is a man of sense and judgment, I most pointedly deny, vouching, ae of his own knowledge, for what took place at the assault and capture of a city, at which assault. I am credibly informed, he was not even present. This information I have the stronger reason for believing to be true, that in Hart's " Army List," his being present at the capture of Ciudad Rodrigo is not among the services to which he can lay claim. Wil ling as I ase, to make every apology, if he was actually , there, and more over in a position to enable him to con tradict the testimony of those whe were, Lieut. Thorn ton must feel the more my debtor for the opportunity. I have givers him of vindicating himself, that while con cealing his name most carefully from the public, be was at the very time disclosing it in secret to the individmal in whose behalf he volunteered; making a merit of the evidence he had given. . • Lieutenant Thornton : in the simplicity of his heart, may have concluded he was thereby taking the most na tural method to satisfy Colonel Gurwood of the purity of his motives. I tell him he has stumbled on the very means which give him most the appearance of being actuated by those of a very opposite description. This appearance he mar do away by making known his means of information. Until he does so, Colonel Gurwood is welcome to all the support his testimony can give . him. "Valeat quantum." - In adverting further to Colonel Gurwood's pamphlet, I beg to call attention to the difficulty he has experienced in rebutting the evidence adduced against him, as shown by the futility of the arguments he employs. Thus, in speaking of the narrative of my brother, and endeavour ing to elude its force, irs.regard to the manner in which the latter states ha got from the rampart down into the town, Colonel Gurwood is pleased to make the following remark: "Sixteen feet in depth, at the foot of which had been ranged a variety of impediments, such as crows' feet, chevaux de frise, iron spikes, &c.; the whole being encircled with the means of maintaining a barrier of burning combustibles." Does Colonel Gurwood mean seriously to assert it .is, e his own belief, or that he would have others to belleVe, that any individual who had the slightest•ret - zard to his character as a man of veracity and honour, that any one not altogether stultified and void of common judgment, and moreover, one who had a perfect knowledge of the city and its defences, could have wilfully destroyed the whole credibility of his subsequent narrative by asserting as a fact what he knew to be untrue, and if untrue, what he must have known could be so easily disproved? What ever the height of the wall, or the means defence might elsewhere be, it most be the conviction of every candid mind, that at the spot referred to by Major Mackie, im pediments to his descent did not exist to the extent which Colonel Gurwood wou'd- represent them to.have been. The height, according to my brother's statement, carrying with it the greater weight as being given in the course of his narrative, and not to obviate objection, was from ten to twelve feet only. As such it presented no very great, certainly no insuperable obstacle, to a young man of great personal activity, and as nearly as mi g ht be, six feet high., But, whatever the obstacles might be, or however over come, as doubtless, .haddio now been Spared to answer for himself, he could most easily have explained, no can did and unprejudiced mind could for a moment entertain a doubt, on the perusal of his statement, but that he effected a descent at the place and in the manner he describes. "To mount under the fire of the defenders was the work of a moment, but when there, difficulties of a for midable nature presented themselves. On each flank a deep trench was cut across the ramparts, isolating the breach, which was enfiladed with cannon and musketry, while in front, from the ramparts into the streets of the town, was a perpendicular fall of ten or twelve feet ; the whole preventing the soldiers from making that bold and rapid onset so effectual in facilitating the success of such an enterprise. The great body of defence being from the houses, and from an open space in f r ont of the breach, in,the first impulse of the moment I dropt from the rampart into the town. Finding myself here quite alone, and no one following, I discovered that the trench on the right of the breach' was cut across the whole breadth of the rampart, thereby opening a free access to our troops, and rendering what was intended by the enemy as a defence completely the reverse. By this opening I again ascended to the top of the breach, and led the men down into the town." The same remark, as to the weakness of the arguments to which he trUsts, applies to Colonel Gurwood's ob servations on Major Mackie's ignorance of the French language, as being inconsistent with the fact of his sum moning the enemy .as he solemnly asserts. Here he greatly exaggerates, and only weakens his cause by over anxiety to bolster it up. My brother, I can positively assert, had, for a short time at least, studied French in his youth; but granting that he neither spoke it nor had kept up the reading of it, to give Colonel Gurwood the full advantage of his argument, we shall suppose that the other had not picked up the very few words necessary for the purpose, in the course of the service in which he was then engaged. Summoning then, as he solemnly asserts he did, of what.consequence could it be, whether this were done in English or in French, since the enemy were only awaiting the appearance of a British officer to be assured of safety to surrender, as was proved, when his pointing to his epaulettes being sufficient to convince them that my brother was such, the door was opened to him, and the sword given up in token of submission ? The same nervous anxiety to grasp at every shadow of an argument for support, applies to the attempt of Colonel Gurwood to throw doubt upon this fact, on the While in the act of concluding the preceding observe was present on the occasion. tions a letter was put into my hands, purporting to be i sm v e edu P nder the circumstances stated, w ritten by Captain Hill, formerly of the 88th Regiment, pAle sword that being no aide-decamp d r e e - c d e e what difference can it mak e u p on the merits o f the case, the object of which is to impugn my brother's claim , and whether that of an aide-de-camp, or in what other ea- to give decided support to that of Colonel Gurwood.

It is his having captured the owner of that sword that has been, and is, most positively denied. Giving the decision, however, which, in his letter, he has pronounced, I beg to ask Captain Hill at what time he came to be of that opinion, which has enabled him to do so? Did he ever, let me ask him, during the three-and-thirty years that have elapsed since the event which it refers to, hint to one of their fellow comrades that he had, himself, a suspicion of its being otherwise than as my brother represents? Has since the writing of it, ventured to broach the subject with any of those officers that were present at the assault, in support of the view which he professes to entertain? If he answer in the negative, as I know he must, I need not further ask if, during his lifetime, he ever hinted to my brother, that he was claiming to himself the credit of an exploit which he, Captain Hill, believed to be another's,—a charge he has not hesitated to bring against his memory, now that he cannot answer for himself, pro fessing, while he does so, that he writes, not as an indif• ferent spectator of the contest, but as one that was his in timate and chosen friend. Consequent upon some private communication with Count D'Orsay on the subject, as Captain Hill admits, couched, as it is, in terms studiously calculated to g ive support to Colonel Garwood, at the same time intended to convey an impression that the bias of his feelings is on the other side, the writing of that letter must, I am persuaded, be even to himself a source of deep regret. Not, I am aware, from any injury he has thereby . done to the memory of my brother, for that remains Intact, but the injury, which, in seeking to inflict on it, he has unhappily brought down upon himself. August 15. - - A portion of his nr.”rative which, as not appearing at the time to bear upon ills claim, was omitted by General Napier, agreeably to the intention which he had in timated to my brother, will, I apprehend, obviate the inference which Colonel Garwood would seem to draw in favour of himself from the time and circumstances at, and under which, he met Lieutenant Uniack on tlio (Ily of the essault. The extract I allude to is to the following purport:— " The manner in which the great breach was cut off by trenches cut across the rampart, and the depth from the rampart in.o the town, caused, as I have stated, consider able difficulty, and some delay in consequence, after the breach had been carried. I can assert, however, that this was done, and every obstacle overcome, without any flank attack on the enemy defending it, by the light division, end without any assistance rendered by them or any other, short of that which must take place . in every similar instance, where more than one breach has been e&cted, necessarily dividing the attention of the enemy for the defence of each. Lieut. Uniack and others of the light division being killed by the same explosion which killed General Mackinnon is in no way inconsistent with, but, on the contrary, corroborates this assertion. The magazine, by the explosion of which General Mac kinnon, as also Lieutenant Beresford, of the 88th Regi ment, as well as others of the 3d, were killed, was situated upon the ramparts, some way to the left of the breach, and the mangled remains of the former vet re found some distance from the rampart, in the open space between it and the houses. This was after the enemy had abandoned the defence, and I had myself, with the advance of the storming party, advanced con siderably along the street, leading from the breach into the town, when I heard the explosion, while, by the time it took place, the troops of the 3d division were established both to the right and left of the breach. From the whole of this it follows, first, that Lieutenant Uniack was not killed at the breach or close upon it ; and, secondly, that there was ample time for that officer, and those of the light division with him, to reach the spot where he was killed, after the great breach was carried; as was in fact the case." Now, Sir, I believe I am justified in maintaining, that not the presumption merely, but as far as it can now be given. the proof of priority of advance towards the citadel, will, on comparing the two accounts together, be found decidedly in favour of my brother. From the point which he had gained when he heard the explo sion by which Lieutenant Uniack lost his life, it would manifestly appear, that he had that advantage, as to priority of advance over his opponent, which, meeting afterwards with no serious obstacle, gave him the op portunity of stating in his own emphatic language, copied from his narrative now before me in his own hand writing:—" In bare justice to the right brigade of the 3d division, and as a member of it, to myself, I feel myself called on to declare, that though I do not claim for that brigade, exclusively, the credit of forcing the defences of the main breach, the left brigade having joined in it, contrary to the intention of Lord Welling ton, under the circumstances stated, yet Ido declare, on the word of a man of honour, that I was the first indi vidual who drected the descent from the main breach into the streets of the town ; that I preceded the advance into the body of the place; that I was the first who entered the citadel, and that the enemy there assembled had surrendered to myself and party Wore Lieutenant Gurwood came up." The words in italics were underlined by himself. The inference Colonel Garwood is inclined to draw from what he represents as the lateness of Major Mackie's claim, as compared with his own, is entirely without foundation. The latter dates itself from a letter written to his friends after the first assault, while the claim of my brother dates likewise from the first, but under very different circumstances indeed. The affair is no sooner over, than it is stated openly to all the officers then present with the regiment, who see the sword received by him, with a detail of the circum• stances which alone prevented his receiving that of the Governor along with the one denoting the surrender, while these officers have ample opportunity of question ing the soldiers present on the occasion, and from whom they did receive a full corroboration of the whole of his account. With regard to the evidence, now for the first time brought before the public, I would willingly express myself with all the delicacy which a regard to substan-. tial justice may permit, in defending the memory of a brother no longer here to speak in his own defence. But let me state the ease as borne out by facts. Not until two years after my brother's narrative ap peared in the Appendix to General Napier's work, a work, ai he was well aware, circulating not only among military men, but throughout the whole of the reading portion of the public, whose opinion is of any value, does Colonel Garwood set about a refutation of the statement it contains. Ineffectual for the purpose it was meant to serve, in counterbalancing evidence directly con tradictory of the fact it was adduced to prove, the letter I have referred to was at the time the mainstay of his case. Is it not then matter of surprise, that two years t han argument five years with was sup ie after the publication of this letter, with the meagre to the statement ofr o r r a t y e ' d, a nd evidence no an d less statement it was intended to refute, a detail of circum stances is at length brought forward, so exceedingly minute that it is difficult, if not impossible, to account for their escaping his memory, at the time he was mus tering evidence on his side ? The testimony' oF the witnesses Colonel Gurwood now brings for beard, labours under a similar disadvantage, if intended as a counterpoise to that of Sergeant Brazil, coming as it does so late into court, two years after Brazil's clear and distinct account was laid before the public. Of the circumstances referred to I may remark, that with those that attended his getting possession of the sword of the Governor, everything indeed that passed within the tower, including all that Colonel Hinson speaks to as coming under his own observation, I have nothing whatsoever to do. The only object that can be gained by the detail of these, is to confuse the careless reader, and turn bis attention from the real point at issue. This, be it remembered, is not what passed after Colonel Gurwood got within the tower, but what had previously passed without. In other words, was the door of the tower, where the Governor and his officers had taken refuge, opened to the summons of Colonel Garwood, after the very considerable delay that must have been required to allow time for all the incidents he states to have taken place, after he reached it, and before he entered ? or, when he came up, did he find that door presenting no obstacle whatever to his' entrance, having been already opened to the summons of Major Mackie, and the place surrendered ? as the latter solemnly avers, and Sergeant Brazil has expressed his readiness to cer tify on oath. Most reluctantly, as for my part, I have been forced into this controversy again, let me express a hope that it is now brought to a close. The claims of both the parties are before the public, though under circumstances by no means equal. The one, having been deprived of the whole of the advantages that should have attended his success on this occasion, no longer lives to vindicate the justice of his claim—a loss which my own imperfect acquaintance with military affairs permits me so inade quately to supply; the other, happily for himself and for his friends, still lives to enjoy the honours and emolu ments that have deco] ved upon him out of the circum stances that led to the dispute. As editor of the " Wel lington Dispatches," he occupies, moreover, a conspicuous position, giving him a personal acquaintance with the leading members of his own profession, and personal in terest with many others. Theso means of influence he has not hesitated to use in circulating ex parte state. meats of the case, apparently in the hope that those by whom be is opposed, being kept in ignorance of his moving in it, he may as it were get judgment by default. With all the disadvantages under which I labour in advocating the cause, which a conscientiouaoonviction of its justice, no less than fraternal feeling, leads me to sup port. I leave most willingly the army at large, and, so far as it can have any interest in the subject, an impar tial publie, to decide between them. CHARLES MACKIE. Quarley, Hants, August 16, 1845. _ . . C. M. Iu revising the preceding observations, after perusing the paper of Colonel Gurwood, which appears in the October number of this journal, I see little requiring to be added to them. Lipra seripta manet, Plera impressa is still more in delible; I am therefore entitled to the full force of my argument, founded on the intention of Colonel Gurwood to restrict his pamphlet to private circulation, as is ex pressed in his preface, and followed up by him, as well in other respects, as in leaving it without a publisher's name upon the title-page. This I may remark, notwith standing his giving the substance of it in your pages, subsequent to the time my observations were written, as shown by the date they bear. Of Capt. Hill and his evidence, bearing in no way on the point at issue, were it not rendered even more utterly valueless for Colonel Gurwood's purpose by the nature of the circumstances under which he gives it, I had hoped most sincerely to have taken final leave. lam forced, however, to allude to them again, Colonel Gurwood attaching so much importance to the alliance of that gentleman, as again to quote his testimony to the effect, that " neither Capt. Hill nor Dr. Arthur, intimate with Major Mackie at the time, ever heard him say that he had got the sword." Now, Sir, I am bound 0 believe that the statement here attributed to Capt. Hill was actually made by him; moreover that it was so made, without any actual violation or the truth. How then, may the truth be shown to be consistent with this apparent contradiction ? There is one way, and but one way only, that this can be done. Independent of the others who were present at the assault, the testimony of Mr. Grattan is to this effect := " I pressed forward with the crowd towards the citadel, and I met Mackie returning from it, with the captured sword in one hand, and his own sword in the other. I asked him if all was right, for there was still an odd shot hen and there. He replied, 'All is not only right, but over. Look at this,' said he, as he held up the sword, I was the first man at the citadel ; and the Governor has been sent off to Lord Wellington.' " Colonel Oates, in his letter, says, " Not being present myself at the assault of Ciudad Rodrigo, but joining very soon after, the general conversation among the officers of the regiment was the very intrepid and gallant conduct of Lieut. Mackie, in volunteering the forlorn hope of the great breach, and being the first officer at the citadel ; receiving, as ho thought, the Governor's sword in token of surrender, but which sword proved afterwards to belong to an officer of the Governor's staff." Does Captain Hill, then, mean to assert by the state ment quoted by Colonel Gurwood in your journal, that he. undoubtedly present at the assault, and of all the officers of the regiment, even by his own showing, my brother's most intimate and bosom friend, was the only one of these who was left in total ignorance of the cir cumstances detailed by Major Mackie in his published narrative, and so amply borne out by the unexception able witnesses that were upon the spot ? Though not the first to hear of it, as is shown by Mr. Grattan, is it possible to suppose that the matter could remain a sub ject of conversation among the officers of the regiment for any length of time, and, to the best of my remem brance and belief, it was not till six weeks after the assault that they were joined by Colonel Oates, without the subject having reached the ears of Captain Hill, and without his curiosity being so far awakened as to lead him to inquire particulars of his brother officer—that brother officer his most intimate and bosom friend ? In other words, for this is the impression which the publication of this statement is intended to convey, w he solemnly declare that the fact of a sword being re• ceived by Mgjer Mackie under the circumstances de. tailed therein, were by him, Captain Hill, unheard o and unknown until my brother's narrative appeared ? This is a declaration which, I am confident, he never made ; what is more, one that he will never venture upon making. It follows, therefore, that when Captain Hill assures Colonel Gurwood he never heard Major Mackie say that he had got the sword, there is soma mental re servation ; and the loophole of retreat whereby he escapes colision with the truth is, and can be only, that he never heard him say that he had got the sword of the Governor. It is, in fact, a mere following up of the attempt at mystification pursued by Colonel Gurwood, and fully exemplified by Captain Hill in his letter to Count D'Orsay, whereby it is sought to keep out of view the sword delivered up to Major Mackie in token of surrender, and to make it appear that the only point at issue is whether or not Colonel Gurwood got posses sion of the sword of the Governor. This sword, Captain Hill may with a safe conscience aver, he never heard Major Mackie say that he had got, the gist of whose complaint, as I have again and again had occasion to re peat, was this—that Colonel Gurwood did get possession of the sword of the Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, but not till the Governor and those that were with him were prisoners of war to Major Mackie and his party. Dr. Arthur and his evidence I may dismiss in very few words. I may safely assert that with that gentle man my late brother was never at any time on intimate terms. That he was at head-quarters of the regiment at the time of the assault I believe to be more than doubtful. If he was there present, against his negati is evidence I place the positive testimony of so many others, and I loffer him, moreover, a share of the salvo which must be found so useful in the case of Captain Hill. Quarley, Hants, 18th Oct., 1845. C. MACKIE. In alluding to the conjoint testimony of Captain Hill and Dr. Arthur, as given by Colonel Gurwood, I regret to find that, inadvertently, I have fallen into an error as to the terms in which it is expressed, though one that in no way affects its substance, or the force of the argument I have rested on it.

So ints2actabie are hostility and error, that they never will abate so ee'ng as there is leisure to be obstinate. Some sudden co. lamity or joy, or other mighty persuasion, is necessary.. , to efface the long accumulation of grievances, and burry man at once into friendship and forgiveness. As far as the process itself is concerned, therefore, we will not • complain that the Premier has timed the nation rather closely. Had the agriculturist still a voice in the matter, he would possibly ask a thousand years to forget his resentments and learn to be generous. Five weeks are sufficient to discover the wisdom of that which must be done, and the invalidity of arguments which will never then u smallest sesa the attention. ear of this It ol devolves asa, k, upon all wh o the persuade them into a cheerful resignation, if not an un reserved consent. There is nothing whatever in the in trinsic merits cf the cause to justify holding out with a desperate and vexatious entisusiasm. It is no sacred or constitutional principle that is at stake. Neither the Bible, nor Megna Charta, nor the Bill of Ri g hts, nor the Act of Settlement,: nor the Coronation Oath, prescribe the sliding-scale. It is not only a human, but also a modern invention. The quesaen is either one of prie rate interest or of public expediency. A crusade for the former might, under some circumstances, be natural, but would never be dignified, and if certain to be ih effectual could not fail to be ridiculous. 5 1 is view of the case, however, has long been abandoned. The Aiding-scale is now upheld as a national preservative, in 7. hich every British subject, from the Duke of Rieh mend to the Kerry peasant, from Mr. Cay ley to Mr. Colyd,n, is equally . concerned. As such it is a matter for legislative discussion. It would be most absurd and mis chievous to raise the provinces, and stir up the dying embers of the quarrel, a moment after the final decision of the Legislature had been put beyoeul all possibility of doubt. Agitation is only respectable when it is either for a principle or for a purpose. Under existing circum stances, an agitation for the corn-lams would . possess neither of these claims to respect. It would nestherbe ' ',. romantic nor discreet, nor anything else, in fact, but a' very prosaic and low-minded piece of stupidity, which could have no other effect than to constitute the egri cultur:st the everlasting Peter Peebles of a forgotten pe - cuniary squabble. I t would almost be impertinent to offer this caution were there not certain parties who are ambi tious to be somebodies, but destitu te of ail claim to that distinction unless they can get it by hanging to the corn laws. With the fidelity of parasites they stick to their only means of notoriety and consequence. Of course, when the old hulk goes to the bottom, the barnacles will go down with it. Their case just now is rather serious, and even if they enjoyed the utmost of our sympathy, we should not quite know how to advise them. They have been labouring these many years to demonstrate the necessity of protection, the inevitable ruin of an open market, and the peculiar virtues of the sliding-scale. They are bound, therefore, to consider the agriculturists utterly done for, and the whole country on the road to ruin; while Sir R. Peel, on their showing, is not merely a versatile politician and a slippery friend, but the very Catiline of the British State. Their only other choice is one almost too humiliating for us to impose it upon them. It is to confess at once that everything they have said these twenty years up to yesterday morning is _ absolutely worthlesis, and incapable of application to the only event that could really put its sense and truth to the test. We can scarcely even wish them to do this, much less expect them. We assume, therefore, their keeping up the game ; and we feel anxiety lest any well-meaning portion of the agricultural world should be tempted to prolong a resistance which must be both use less and inglorious. This is the time for the agricultural body to give due weight to every consideration which may explain and smooth the crisis. They are aware, in the first place, of the numerous defections from their once almost unanimous school. They need not be re minded that the market-table has long ceased to be har monious, and that many a man who six or seven years ago was hawking pro-corn-law - petitions about his parish, no longer considers his interests bound up in the sliding-scale. They know with what circumspec tion and reserve politics must be treated in their agri cultural anniversaries, and how they must look up and down the table before they can venture the slightest inuendo. Their internal eivisions are not lost on the public, and ought to be owned by themselves. The opinion of the agricultural body no longer exists as a unity. There are agricultural writers, and speakers, and opinions, but no on, agricultural school and autho rity. But there is one c.eis!deration which should now come home with irresistible force. The present protec tive system is a vast political responsibility. it is an arbitrary and most artificial interference with the laws of nature and Providence, and as such a most intole rable burden to any reflective statesman. The astronomer in " Rasselas" felt himself overpowered with the respon sibility of the skies, although he did no more than sus tain and regulate the system which he found. The modern Atlas must groan under cycles and epicycles of his own. Sir Robert Peel confesses himself un equal to the gigantic labour. He will no longer undertake to drive the sun, control the planets, and rule the stars. He has had enough of it. Ho has scorched himself, and the earth into the bargain. " The farmers' friend " has discovered to his cost that he cannot mete out wind, and rain, and sunshine, exactly according to the manifold and conflicting needs of his fastidious clients. He is justly frightened at the working of his own machine. Corn rises, grim scarcity is seen in the distance, dark shadows of manufacturing distress brood over his path, the ele ments frown, and he is seized with a panic diffidence. He positively will not hold himself accountable for what may happen, especially when a million tongues, as our columns to-day testify, are reminding him that, as matters now stand, he is accountable. Will the agri culturists take on themselves that fearful responsibility? What securities, what bail will they offer ? But even if they should pledge the heads of three hun dred Peers that all the people shall be fed, what consolation in the hour of calamity sheuld we find in the forfeiture of their bond ? The Premier has a fair right to be considered the best judge of his' - ovViriea- sure. He pronounces it a failure, or at least a most pe rilous experiment. Who has a right to gainsay so com petent an authority ? It is downright cruelty to him, as well as madness to ourselves, to bind him dawn to his own crude conceptions, and compel his riper experience to pay the penalty of his earlier rashness. Quarrel with him if you please, remind him of his promises, exhibit their miserable fulfilment ; but, for the sake of our com mon safety, exonerate him and us from his monstrous, his fatal, his impossible functions. If Sir Robert were to be the only victim of his scale, we might think it no business of ours to interfere with the projectors of that dangerous jimcrack ; but we, and twenty million others, are involved in the trial. , . I / . It 44 ' ---Vt QUEER MISTAI7E.—There was one of the largest congregations ever known at a village church, not twenty miles from Ipswich, a short time since, during a visit of Sir Robert Peel at the seat of a gentleman in the parish.

Th'is was the first meeting held at the Piazza Coffee-house, in lieu of the British Coffee-house, Cockspnr-street, a removal from whence had keen rendered necessary by the want of accommodation commensurate with the increased importance and numerical strength of the club.

The coutraetors have commenced operations on the Svston and Peterborough Railway ; between the former place and Melton Mowbray 300 men are employed; three diversions of the river are at present occupying the attention of the contractors, thus saving them the erection of three bridges. The poor of Melton will have employment all the winter months. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton have arrived on a visit to Mr. Evelyn and Lady Charlotte Denison, at Ossings ton-hall, Notts, from Worsley-hall, near Manchester.

ALLEGED DEATH FROM THE INCAUTIOUS USE OF Maass.—A long inquiry took place on Friday before W. Carter, Esq., at the Pilgrim Tavern, Walwortb, respecting the death of Miss Catherine Moore Rostall, aged twenty five years, who, it was alleged, had died from the effects of some poisonous herb. Mr. Thomas Barrett, an ironmonger, residing at No. 17, Cancel-street, Walworth, deposed that the deceased was his sister-in-law, and occupied apartmeats in his house. She was a female of very eccentric habits. She was a bonnet maker, and worked f or a firm in Oxford street. Deceased was generally of very weak health. n the evening of Thursday, th e 27th ult,deceased came home with a quantity of herbs, which consisted of pennyroyal, B.:e. She told witness that she had purchased them of an old woman in East-lane, who charged her ls. for them. Deceased was subject to pains in the stomach, and spasms, for which it was supposed she took the herbs alluded to. Witness and his wife had begged of her to call in a medical gentleman, but she always refused to have one. Deceased continued to get worse until Sunday morning, when she was unable to leave her bed. Witness gave her a cup of tea, after which she said, " Oh, Thomas, I hope the Lord will take me !" and she seemed in a state of great weakness. About eleven o'clock the same morning, he went to the sur gery of Mr. Cattermole, where witness described her symp. toms, and he prescribed some medicine fo r her. At half- p ast one she began to get worse. Witness then sent for Mr. Cat termole, whose assistant attended, but before his arrival she ceased to exist. Witness's wife searched the place after her death, and found a saucepan containing the herbs. The Coroner observed that, under all the circumstances of the case, he should adjourn the inquiry, for the purpose of a post mortem examination. ACCIDENT TO A ClllLD.—Yesterday morning, be tween nine and ten o'clock, a serious accident occurred to Sophia Palsgraw, about four years of age, the daughter of Edwin Palsgrave, Esq., a gentleman residing at Finchler.

The screams of the child quickly brought assistance; and Mr. Hicks, a surgeon, was imme diately sent for, when it was ascertained that the child had severely injured the vertebra of the neck., bseides having reaeiyed other NOTE. injuries.
