Morning .. 31 minutes after 1 Evening .. 51 minutes after I. ing, is not announced, but the obeli- is to 'be taken at half-past six precisely. • - - Well, time will show. " When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war." Mr. COMM and Mr. BRIGHT have been allowed to disport themselves among the fertile fields of Britain too long ; the y have mistaken their • impunity from contradiction in argument, and from overwhelming declarations against • their free-tisde opinions, for an approval which it is now evident did not exist. The lion is roused : he has shaken his mane ; Mr. N. DORAN MAILLARD euphonious name—of - ornithological celebrity, has issued his cards for a great national demonstration against the League, and no doubt the orators who have so long concealed their powers of argument and their strength of reasoning, will thii-evening annihi late the League, and bury in its ruins all trace of free-trade principles. We cannot contemplate this possibility without a. shudder; but we console our selves, after all, in a strong belief in its improbability, and in our firm conviction that, on Wednesday even- ing next, we shall at Covent-garden Theatre hear a full account of. this great Anti-League demonstration, and hear of it, as we do of the illustrious little General TOM Tnumn, as an object of admiration, on account of its dwarfish stature. The financial condition and prospects of the coun try are subjects of such vital and - universal interest to the public at large, that we are 'somewhat disap pointed at the studied abstinence of - almoSt :every Member of either House ,of Parliament from any direct allusion to these topics. That they shoutd be distasteful, dry—nay, even impracticable to a consi derable section of Peers and a goodly band - of aristo cratic Commoners, is no matter for surprise. That exceedingly defective system of _ education at our public schools and universities in England, which sends into the Legislature a senior wrangler from Cambridge, or a first-class man from Oxford, as profoundly ignorant of all political and economic learning, as he is, usually, of natural philosophy or the principles of perspective, the art of dancing dr the theory of navigation,;—that system applies the worst • possible preparation for the practical business :of 'statesmen. It is not until after such aspirants to legislative distinction have gone through the unwonted discipline of Private Committees' on Local Bills, and the drudgery of note-taking in . Select Committees to try the merits-of election peti tions, that ,they begin :to conceive the possibility of business-like habits of application, attention, and punctuality—of a knowledge of accounts, and a familiarity with those lower mathematics (which; though disdainfully remembered in connection with the honours of the "tripos" are absolutely essential to excellence in " vulgar arithmetic ")—are attain ments not unworthy the attention of fine gentlemen; and even conducive to Parliamentary clistinction. These' good impressions, hoWeier, valuable though they be i are but the accidence of that forensic gram mar which ought to have been thoroughly mastered - before they ventured to. offer as Candidates for theie public " scholsrships' If we - only consider how much longer a period is - required, especially by those who have not the advantages of official occupa tion, • to- ,become au courant to the varying . : statistics of public income and revenue; the history of the .Nationar Debt and , Taxation; -the influence of these upon wages,' prices, &c.; we need not wonder at the schoolboy awe with whiel so many senators, both of the upper:and lower forms, regard what they suppose to be the " mysteries" of finance and currency. - It is not- the less. deplorable, that a vast system like that on which our circulation is . founded, should be left in its present disorganised and perilous state, to find its own adjustment. It threatens danger to capital, to industrial production, and the market of labour; to - domestic and foreign trade, to the, secu rity of all property, to..investMents, mortgages, debts of specialty and simple contract; to the inviolability of public faith, and the guarantees of private , honour. It thus menaces, indirectly, the prosperity of the State itself ; directly, of all institutions within the pro. ; tection of the State: Do her MiaESTY's Ministers inten , - to stave off every previous consideration of the disistri; produced by PEEL'S Currency Bill of 1819, until they can assemble their supporters in a field-day majority on .the discussion on the Bank Charter ? Do they think it will sleep until they be pleased to wake ? Are • . OW Aware that, with every day's delay, they lose some,portion of the power which if will require to beat down the, 'Frankenstein monster of their own creation, in that unrighteous experiment of 1819:? Let thein be assured, that to delay the task of re tracing that fatal step, is to accelerate their own cls struction; • and to secure an imperishable record of 'their own imbecility. Besides, their hesitation, in this matter is paralysing the short' remaining oppor tunity they have of diminishing the public ,burdens they have so largely enhanced. Foreign capital, as our City Correspondent tells us, is pouring into this country for investment. Money was scarcely ever ,so plentiful, nor the tijne so favourable, for a great funding operation on the OA of Owiernmcnt. Yet the. Government are mute as the silenced oracles on the destinies of the , statute-consecrated enormity of Aran's currency scheme ; and have nut Mfide,one sign of an intention to , convert the Three-and-a-Half per -Cents:, whereby so enormous a reduction might be effected on the interest of the Debt. We are of that old-fashioned school of Englishmen' who look to our navy With feelings of unbounded Confidence, affection, and pride. It is a service the most nativeand_proper to our people. It 'is con nected' with their hereditary, habits as .an - insular nation, and endeared to alb classes by the prejudices. of those habits. Then'-there are the associations of three centuries of triumphs . and supremacy upon the boundless Waters, " whereon it moves, and lives, arid, hath its being . ," which consecrate its • position in the. Popular, esteem. Pre-eminent alike in Maritime dis covery and in naval warfare, it has spread the renOwn of our 'country to the most distant regions that sur round the poles, or lie " beneath the line ;" and it has_ vindicated the honour, asserted the rights, and extended the doniinion arid iluence- of our flag against . all opponents, in every .climate, and upon. every sea. Against the: confederacy of all the .nations of oontinental- Europe , it has defended our own empire, and vanquished and dictated its own terms to, those' who would :have challenged our political existence as an independent State. But , its sphere of real , glory, its career, of beneficent utility, haste been only enlarged and dig nified in seasons of peace. .Far from relapsing into a condition of indolent disorginisatiOn, this noble force - have long been accustomed ta keep up their practical diicipline, and discharge. the duties they ' owe to the State which maintains them, by protecting our wide-spread commerce in the ports of every country to which it extends: During the last century it has - not - only revived the spirit of geographical and, mercantile enterprise, which prompted our . Csnots and our" DRAKES to put.a girdle round the world ;"- not only taken and maintained 'the lead in all those immense acquisitiona, which have increased and en- . riched our knowledge of the globe ;—but it has achieved a reputation, through the abilities of its offi4 cers, for patient research, laborious. accuracy, perse . - vering intrepidity-fo t sagacity and truth, in all the higher branches or ; astronomical observation and of philosophic experiments for determining problems the most importutto navigation,—which have ever been unrivalled in the history 'of science. Whatever,‘ therefore, regards - the present condition and th e per manent welfare of this fine service, should , alwayi command' the . profound' attention Of evertEnglish- Min who feels an 'interest in the glory Of. his native land. For ourselves, it is long since We. have expe rienced .these sentiments *Ore powerfully than on a pernsat Of the debate; in the Honse Of Commons on Viiday night, on the:" 'Navy Eitimates." • We Can scarcely liopd to touch, within our limits to-day, !ther 'various important topics which presented--them elves 'for discussion' on this .occa;., slop - . But it is — Only; flair` 'to remark, in general terms, that they inYolved natters of the inost vital importance. to the material " strength 'Of Out navy; to the efficiency of the' •SerAOe; 'especially . in' the su perior classes 'Of 14 .- 74 .6 4$ V'to" . the further im mediate extension" and 'improvement of that most essentiO and deoisiye arm 01 modern 'naval warfare, wined steam-ihipi; with . a - view to . the 'preservation '(if 'Ont.'

The progress which the Anti-Corn-law League has hitherto made in the spread of free-trade opiniOns, and in the advancement of anti-monopolist principles and feelings, among the people of Great Britain and Ireland, is at once a most signal testimony to the zeal and industry of that body, and to the truth of the , doctrines, which its Council have laboured to instil into the public mind. Never, in the memory of man, did any cause make such rapid marches, or move onward with such resistless energy, as the cause which the Anti-Corn-law League espoused, and. which has shaken to its very centre the empire of monopoly, and reduced all its strongholds. " Truth is great, and must prevail," has been the, motto inscribed upon the banners, which the Anti-; Corn-law League have carried in triumph, through . almost every county and province of England and. Scotland. Plain and convincing truth, made plainer ‘ and more convincing, from the purity of principle, and the sincerity of heart, by which it was enforCed, , has been brought to the doors of every thinking. man in - the empire; until, at length, even the unthinking. herd, who are found among all ranks, caught the' mound, which roused them •to some exercise of their faculties, and led even them, to • the conclusion that monopoly could not be intended for the benefit of the masses, but must be, and was,. stupported for some exclusive, some privileged class, which derived advantage; and sought to draw its - support, from the continuance of one general impo sition. , • The monopolists alarmed, frighted froM their Pro.: piety, forgetful of the many bitter taunts they-have ,us 4 against Sir ROBERT PEE 4 fOr allowing such a, body as the League to run its course without re= stiaint or interference by the Law-officers of the Crown, and totally regardless of the evils which spring from organized agitation, so long and so ear— nesqy denounced by them, have, it appears, formed—.. what do our readers believe ?••A NaTiorret.

The Anti-Corn-law League fills - Coyent-gar den Theatre weekly, with audiences 'delighted and eager to hear the principles of free trade expounded. The Anti-League Association, . ne:t daring to tread the boards •of the ,great theatres, has announced its lebut at a Minor place of entertainment, and .this .evening its Great National Anti-League demonstration, for so the cards of admission signed and sealed by the , secre? tsry, declare it to be, at Freemasons' Tavern.

It is gratifying to remark that Conservative Members of the profession joined heartily with Whig and Radical brother officers, in the :valuable admonitions which they tendered to the Government authorities on these all-important subjects. The tone of personal independence which they, took was well contrasted and dignified by the professional solicitude they manifested for the well-being of the 'service to which they belonged. Whilst we pay this just tribute to the speeches of Sir CIIAILLES NArnut and Captain Rots, Captain PECICELL •and Sir Gsoaola CocxravaN, we Must ex press our regret that the latter (for whoie first-rate seamanship. and distinguished professional tareer we entertain the most unaffected respect), should have evinced a little of that impatience under contradiction and the statement of opposing opinions, which went so farto justify the objection powerfully urged by Captain , ROCS to the impolicy of retaining in active employ ments and commands, those, whom age or infirmity ought to have retired, in order to be , replaced by men less advanced in years, and whose greater energy and physical vigour must be so much better suited to the demands and exigencies of the service. The Right Hon. and Gallant Gentleman's answer to Captain PECHELL will not satisfy any man that her MAJESTY'S naval - force, off the coast of Ireland, has not been oc casionally called upon to aid, directly or indirectly, in the collection of poor-rates and other such services, at once distasteful to and incompatible with the true duties of the navy. Captain PxotiELL did good service in calling attention to the gross neglect of the Admi ralty, in so long delaying the adoption of certain in dispensable improvements in the build and equipment of our war-steamers. He instanced their tardiness in fitting their vessels with-that invaluable and mar vellous application projected by Mr. SMITH, and pressed upon the Board unceasingly during the last year or two, .of the Archimedian screw-pro peller. The French war-steamer which accom panied her MeJzstY pait of the way from "Treport, and - afterwards, if- we -remember, visited POrtsmOuth with,the French Princes,ii a per fect Model of a Steeple? on this principle ; in the, use of which, greater security and effectiveness are neces sarily attained with greater symmetry, from the absence of the unsightly and eumbrous paddle-boxes on the sides and, waist of the craft---offering, at once, the - fairest mark for the enemy's guns and the most certain means of her own instant.' and' irretrievable crippling. What was the• answer of Sir G. COCK& BURN to the ease of immediate necessity so irresis-1 tibly put to bim;—on the, fair assumption, always ad- , missible in argument thOugh to .be deplored indeed; were it truly in anticipation,—of hostilities between France and England ? This " They had .now several engineers engaged in testing the results of different experiments, and he had no doubt but that before many years elapsed we should 'have adopted a principle so Much - improved as entirely to defeat the rivalry of foreign nation 4,... . " Before Inanyryears have elapsed"--elas ! the ques tion of the wisdom or the folly of our steamers being Now prepared and fitted, or not, with these screws may have been already decided. -We must resume on an arly day, our notice of the remaining passages in the, debate, , • • , The only: intelligence in -the Madrid journals, of the . 23d ult., is a decree published by the Finance Minis ter, relative-the tobacco duties. According.tothis, vast reforms: are to take place, and the interest on the Three per Cent4'is to` be' faithfully, paid, The plan is to leak the duties to a company of capitalists, on certain conditions, among w hich are the following : The contract shall endure for ten.' y&tra,• : reckoning frota:theAst of May, 1644. rho con't'ractors shall ~pay ;4,999,qqa Teals (780,000/.) each year, into the withput any reduction; and Oa* contractors advance . to the Government 50,000,000 of reals jaliOn[in gold or silver, or in bills on ?axis and Lon den; or on the' w-ovince, - ixt the etchange Of the day, in four eipial payments, the first Rayment to be made on the day the contract is taken possession - of.' • 'This advanciotfulids 'on theyart of the enterprise will bed an _ interest Of 6 per cent, - payable half-yearly.

The •conduct of Admiral DUFETIT TIIOUAILS, on the showing bf the Minister of Marine, was both unjustifiable and ridiculous. No resistance, said M. GutzOT; had been made against- the French authorities, either by the Quttrt or the English, and there was nothing whatever to justify -the conduct of the Admiral: He indignantly repelled' the charge that the Government had acted in-this affair in con sequence of any communication from the English Cabinet, and declared that the resolution which had been . adopted by the KING in Council was a sponta neous independent act.

The dinner given to Mr. •Byng, on his completion. of fifty years service in Parliament for this county, was a magni#cent af fair; but Will be exceeded on the present occasion. The 'applications for tickets to ,the dinner, and for ladies to the boxes to hear the speeches have been more _than the stewards anticipated, and by parties who from their rank and station Could hardly, have been , expected to ,attend. The , musical arrangements have been plaecl . under the care of Mr. - George Stansbury, and every pains taken to give effect to the pieces, many of them new. kir *the 'occasion. A full' military band, comprising • the ' first talent in London, will perform during dinner, and occasionally afterwards. • The toasts and senti ments to be given, and the various speakers by whom they are to be introduced and acknowledged, have been carefully selected, so as to afford'no ground for offence to any portioh of the Liberal party, or even to those who view the late trial of O'Connell as an unfair per- Version of justice, apart from all political or party considerations After the debate of Friday last there can be but one opinion, throughout the • press as to ' thetonduct which they must pursue on the present occasion, to vindicate themselves from any supposed approval of acts of espionage and violated confidence. One of the very few Tories in the Leicester town council, :being unable to sleep o' nights, because of the want of a mace, has been endeavouring to stir up his colleagues to recbver the "bauble" which they disloyally 'sold, on their entrance ,to office, on the passing of the .new. Act. It was .. too b a d. , ! he said, to, sell a "royal gift." Well f to satisfy. him, the town-clerk seirebed the efirporate records, to trace the history of the mace. Alas for roYlify I' it turned out that the " royal gift" was purchased, and paid for, by the town of Leicester, in 1645, in consequence of Charles the First and his soldiers having stolen the mace previously in use t Fact plays sad havoc with romance... Leeds Times. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY MORNING. By the packet United. States, Captain Britton, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning, we have'. accounts from New York to " the 14th ult., being five days later than those brought by-the, last arrival. Her Majesty's ship Vestal, with Mr. Pakenham, the British Envoy to the United ,States Government, on board, reached Nevi York on the ol3tth,foarft:ewr ashi'avngtery "stormy passage. - He-was to set u Washington next day, to replace Mr.. Fox, who would depart in the same ship for Vera Cruz, in a Week or a fortnight On reaching the harbour of . New York the Vestal fired a -salute of twenty-one guns, but, according to a correspondent of the New York Herald, the naval authorities were not prepared to return the compliment. "Peimit me," says thewriter, through your columns,- to inquire of the naval autho rities of the port of New :York, what is the cause that onile . arrival of a national ship of a friendly power in our harbour, and who salutes our flag, that we are not prepared immediately to return the friendly greeting ? We are induced to make this inquiry as we happened yesterday to witness the arrival oT the British frigate Vestal (conveying to our shores a high diplomatic fUnctiOnary), who, as soon as she came to anchor, hoisted the United States flag, and saluted it with twenty-one guns. We remained on the battertfor more than an hour, eagerly watching the re sponse to so kindly a greeting, but,. up to a late hour, yesterday afternoon, it was not - returned." The dis cussion in Congress, on the tariff of 1842, was still going on. The last speaker was a Mr. Huntingdon, who stood out for high protecting duties, with as much - fury and argument as any of our most deter mined monopolists, but his speech excited not the slightest interest. A correspondent, who writes from Washington on the 12th, gives the following report 'of proceedings in that quarter ;—" The President is certainly expected to send into the Senate six great • appointmenst, two Cabinet Secretaries, three Ministers, and a Judge, together with many minor appointments. The great debate' upon the Oregon question is ex pected daily to arise. Mr. Allen .will call it up to morrow. Col. Merrick will bring in his Post-office Reform Bill to-morrow ; that subject will:then be open to debate; This week, therefore, you may look for highly interesting and important news from Washington;" Great expectations prevailed at New York that the markets, and chiefly the Cotton market, would be very brisk. Stocks in general :were firm, and many of them had advanced considerably. We subjoin the only extracts of interest and- amusement from the papers:-- • ' 'BRAZlL.—Advices from Rio, to the 13th of December, have been received in Baltimore.

Santa Anna is at his hacienda near Vera Cruz. He gives his persoal, superintendence to the extensive repairs now making to the castle or San Juan di. Ulloa, and the fortifications which defend Vera Cruz. The British , frigate Inconstant arrived on- the 22d from Port Royal.' She reported that the whole_British West India fleet was to sail for Vera Cruz.-two days after she left. The condition of the TeXian prisoners at Peyote• is worse, if possible, than by preyions accounts, Sickness and suffering, are thinning their numbers. Of the whole .number cOnfined; but eighteen are able to perform the labour imposed Upon them by their brutal captors. It was reported at Vera Cruz that .theßrit_ish Minis- - ter had intimated to the Mexican authorities, that upon the arrival of .Mr. Fox, the new Minister from England, the British flag, which was captured from the Texans, should be hoisted, on the staff of the castle, in addition to the usual salute. This arrival was daily expected. There were inport two British brigs of-war and two French sloops of war. IMPORTANT ARREST.—J. C.

Hestnnitou,:FED. o.,—The Sweden mail of the 23d , of February, the Stoekholni mail of - the 20th, and the Copenhagen mail of the 24th, had not arrived when the Borsenhalle went to press.

INTERSBURGH, FMB. 13.—1 t is well known that a Russieninan-Of.wer sails every summer round the Cas pian sea to protect our fishermen against the attacks of predatory tribes on its coasts. Last summer this'service was performed by Lieut. Tarrason, who kept an accurate journal of his observations in that sea, from which it ap pears that in - the part of it the sand continues to accumulate in some places more; and some less; on the whole, however, this, accumulation of sand, is already so great, that ached of the Caspian made a feW years ago, proves to be now quite incorrect. Some of the many arms by which the Volga discharges itself into that sea are quite dry in consequence of the quantity .of mud and. sand by which they are choked up. H.A.NovEn, Flu. 21.—The Government has at length broken. its _silence respecting the affairs of the Customs' Union.

HANoVER, Fnn. 22.—The pamphlet, though but ace" , copies have yet been given to' the public, is the general subject of conversation _;_ and we hear every body speak of .its praise, The effect produced by •it will un doubtedly be still greater whin it is . to be obtained by the public' in general, which- it•will be in a few .days ; and it is ton be published 'by Halm and' Co.

France is it length beginning to . show great ac tivity, and is, now competing ; with her Belgian neighbours, in facilitating , provincial intercommuni cation by means of railways. 'ln the month of April, 1842, it was stated by M. **ger, in his ":Commercial Tariff and Regulations of France," that, with the exception of a few miles of branch rails, the whole railroad communication of that ex tensive kingdoiii2iiis comprised in a very - bad line from St. 'Etienne to . Lyons, , one . I from Paris 'to St. Germaini, and . two from Paris to Versailles. In June,4B42,:however, the French Government, seeing the ' immense increase of traffic-Secured to Belgium by means .of its extensive railroad communication, set a very noble national example, and - offered public en.; terprise a great inducement-to enter - upon the neces sary competition. The . GOverrithent •agleed to de live,r 'to such companies as should undertake the eon 'struetion of certain lines, free-of all- charge, - the land required for -the -whole line, and to complete the ' `earthworks, termini; • and stations ; leaving - the companies' to lay down the rails or, per manent way; to supply the engines and Carriages for working the lines, and to maintain the 'work.s . when. completed. - Under these regulations lines have been: already undertaken • from Paris to Havre, • and from ! ' Paris to Rouen;"and from Paris to Orleans lines have' been completed. Anothertmost important one is , now projected from Paris to Strasburg, a line which pro-i r mises to bring into close commercial intercourse England, France, and Germany.. Both Both as regardS agricultural and indatriat produets, the country be tween the French metropolis and the banks of the ' Rhine Is liiiportant. . In Alsace, the Lancashire- of France,•there are at present, even with existing de ficiencies of transit, no less than fifty-six factories', producing cotton twist and calicoes to :the yearly value;of 5;000,000/. sterling, and - employing - 11 0 , 00 0 persons; 'and the kerseys and cachmeres of Nancy on the same line are beginning to rival 'those of thp south of - Franee. The vine- and every description of agricultural Production abound in the whole country to be traversed.' 'With the French metropolis itself , it is -needless'-to say that a direct line, - connecting it also with the German provinces, would 'conduce to a rapidly extending international commerce. Between and among the towns on the projected. route, an extensive traffic and interchange already prevails, but the want of a railway communication for the herds of cattle which pass from one province to another, op a. line extending to 280 miles, must entail severe loss. It has , been calculated that a loss of nearly 15 per eent,takes place in the value of. cattle . driven on the highway. from 'Leicester to London; as compared with the depreciation, when transported the same' distance by - rail. But, without-touching further on matters of detail, we shall only say that we hail the prospect of a direct and easy intercourse with France and the Rhine, as a . matter of great importance, both as re• gards this ' country and our relations with the Continent: . . .. ,- -.- , - BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE (From the Weekly Dispat ch.)

The atmosphere was serene at the thrie. It is stated in a letter from Carlsruhe, of the 22d, . that the principal cemetery of that place has been recently :the scene of repeated violations. More than forty graves have been opened, and all the gold and ether valuable orna ments with which the bodiei were interred stolen. As these atrocities were carried on with great caution on the part of the depredators, the crime would have remained unpunished if a young man had not been arrested in the act of offering for sale a silver handle of a coffin.
