At the end of August, 1843, I planted in my garden thirty-two grains of wheat, at six inches dis tance, an inch and a half deep ; the seed was of the first rate quality. This seed produced this year thirty-two plants, having from 10 to 28 stems and ears each ; the average number of ears was 16 ; the average weight of each plant 1 ounce. An acre of land would contain, at six inches distance, 174,240 plants; the produce 304,940 oz., or nearly 19,600 lbs., 320 bushels, or 40 quarters per acre. The expense of dibbing would be more than saved by the diminished ualtity of seed required. I do not mean to state that such a result would be obtained upon a large scale; but I think it is worthy of trial, when we know that the average produce is only 2i quarters per acre, and that it is possible to grow FORTY : it will be allowed that there is ample :cope for improvement. Try a breadth in your fields an inch and a half deep; put one grain, and one only, in each hole—plant it at six or eight inches distant—. be sure to plant good seed—get as much produce as you can, but GO FOR FORTY QUARTERS PER ACRE.

IN BUCKS, NEAR TO BOXMOOR.STATION. A CAPITAL MANOR FARM, NEARLY 300 ACRES, in the OCCUPATION of a FIRST-RATE TENANT. LOTS of GOOD SHOOTING, and in a HIGH and HEALTHY POSITION. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, in London, on THURSDAY, the 21!lth of August, at Twelve o'Clock, in One - Lot, " " • • An exceedingly desirable FREEHOLD FARM, pleasantly situate, within four miles of BoxmOori-and less than three miles of the pleasant market ..town of Berkhempstead, and the nvo stations. It is called YEW TREE HOUSE, WHELPLEY HILL, surrounded by good roads, within twenty eight miles of London, and an easy distance of the best markets. Chesham is three miles off, and Hemel Hempstead within five, so that the produce finds a ready vent at a trifling expense. The land is of a quality that may always be depended on under a healthy course of cultiva tion, and the abundant crops this year, after being subject to a severe discipline for the last four or five years, arising out of a sad forgetfulness of manure, still the land exhibits four or five quarters of capital wheat and barley, and the crops of clover are most abundant. The farm-house, as well as the buildings, are of ancient date, and, in candonr, it must be proclaimed, will be greatly benefited by a judicious outlay of three or four hundred pounds. THE WORTHY TENANT, BASSILL, who, with his family, have sojourned here near half a century, will be but too happy to have a lease, and continue the tenancy ; but his present rent is a very inadequate one. The estate numbers near THREE HUNDRED ACRES, and with the exception of less than two, is entirely within a ring fence. There are about 50 acres in thriving woods and planta tions; it will be in accordance with good judgment to have them by degrees grubbed up, and good crops of corn become their substitute—a farmer does not need the luxury of wood land scenery, to interfere with his more important avo cations. The outgoings are not high, and the tithe has been commuted at less than 4s. per acre—such is a faint outline of the property which is committed for positive sale, and offers an exceedingly eligible and secure investment for small capitalists. Particulars, fourteen days prior to the sale, at the George, Ches ham ; King's Arms, Berkhempstead and Hemel Hempstead; also the station at Boxmoor; of Messrs. Nicholas and Pardoe, solici tors, Flewdley ; Mr. Wm.

VALUABLE AND EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES IN ...-____ MERIONETHSHIRE, NORTH WALES. A CAPITA/. AND PERFECTLY SECURE INVESTMENT. 910 be DISPOSED OF, the EXTENSIVE SLATE QUARRIES, upon which a considerable capital has been expended in arriving at the present favourable state. This Property has capability to carry it out to an extent almost indefinite. The royalty is very low, and the terms of the lam are unusually favourable. It will afford to a company or a few capitalists an opportunity of investing FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS, with a prospective view most encouraging, and the opportunity to purchase the fee-simple on vcry advantageous terms, is amongst the most prominent of its numberless advantages. This quarry (in Merionethshire, close to Carnarvonshire) is identi cally the same vein of slate as the three large quarries on Airs. Oakeley's property, which are the most extensive slate quarries now worked in Merionethshire. It is situated upon the opposite side of the same hill, the summit of which is the boundary between the Cwmorthin and Oakcley properties ; and the vein, which in the latter estate is divided into three extensive quarries, has an extent on the Cwmorthin side equal to all three together, and capable of being made the largest quarry in Merionethshire; and, after Bangor and Llanberris, the largest Slate Quarry in Wales. A disagreement in the partnership, arising out of a difference of opinion as to the best mode of working the quarry, was terminated by the common consent of all the parties, and this is the sole reason why this valuable property is now to be disposed of. The present tenants hold under a forty years' lease, dated 20th March, 1842, which in all its conditions is more favourable to the capitalist undertaking to work the quarry, than those of any of their com petitors in the market. But the fee-simple can be bought upon terms which would enable the purchaser to secure large profits, where the quarries paying heavy royalties merely enrich the land lords; independently of being able to work the quarries wholly without interference, and to such extent, and in such manner, as to obtain the greatest possible profit from a property which, properly managed, increases in value the longer it is worked, since more Slate is continually opened, and which will not be ex hausted in many generations. The present openings are so made as to be capable of indefinite extension—a small outlay would bring an immediate return of Slate, which might be increased at the discretion of the proprietor. The metal is of the purest Port madoc blue Slate, easily worked, durable, and free from spot, stain, or blemish. Though the vein is barely opened in the top (as shewn in the plan), above eight hundred tons of Slates have already been made, of a quality in every way satisfactory, and it continues to improve, the deeper the rock is gone into. An extensive farm, with about two hundred acres of land, available for various pur poses, is included in the property—it will be of great value to the party working the quarry. A fall of water gives all the power needed for machinery to saw and plane slate; the rise of which I in articles of furniture and in house building is rapidly and daily ex tending. There is cheap and easy carriage by the Ffestiniog Railway to Portmadoc. And when the increasing demand at home and on the continent for Portmadoc blue Slate, the extensive pro gress of buildings throughout the kingdom, and the peculiar ad vantages offered by the Cwmorthin Quarry are considered, it will be found that a more favourable opportunity is seldom met with for the investment of capital, with large immediate profit, and con tinued accumulation of the value of the principal in perspective. There are many admirable sites in the vicinity for the erection of an abode suited to the proprietor of these works.

Principals only will make application at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-garden, who takes this opportunity to call the atten tion of the moneyed world to this valuable undertaking. IMPORTANT TO CAPITALISTS. TO be SOLD by PRIVATE TREATY, by Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, A VERY PROMISING INVESTMENT AND SLATE QUARRY, situate in Carnarvenshire, North Wales. The Slate is of excellent quality, of a rich grey-blue colour, and oan be had in abundance under but a very thin cover. _ _ The work is already about 40 yards wide, and is capable of being extended to upwards of _ ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY YARDS, where a large number of men may be employed most advanta. geously, and without the slightest risk. This is an investment af. fording a rare opportunity to any party with moderate capital to accumulate A LARGE FORTUNE. The observations which follow are extracted from a Welsh Paper:—" I have been in Carnarvonshire, to see the Quarry, and my opinion is, that there is something extraordinary in it; it can be made, with a few thousands outlay, THE MOST EXTENSIVE CONCERN OF THIS SOIL MR.

The vein of pure slates is ascertained to be no less than 180 yards wide, and at least half a mile in length, without any ob struction, and as deep as any parties may feel inclined to go, wherein there is sufficient quantity of that useful material TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE WORLD FOR CENTURIES; and with good management the profits would—could not be less than from 100 to 150 per cent. upon the outlay, after it is put in proper order. Another desirable thing belonging to this concern is, that the cover of earth on the surface is only two or three yards deep, whereas most of the quarries are under ten or fifteen yards corer. The workshops, waggons, and working utensils are in good repair, as also the road, three miles of which has been made at the expense of nearly 2,000/. The distance to a capital ship. ping wharf is only seven miles, and but nine to the intended CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD GREAT RAILWAY. The name of the concern is the' Cedryn Quarry,' situate about ten miles from Banger, and the same distance from Conway and Llanrwst, in the centre between the three towns. " It is held under the Right Hon. Lord Newborough for an un expired term of twenty.eight years, which can be extended At any time. " In conclusion, we can only add that the Quarry ought to pro. duce a considerable sum, as it is A SURE FORTUNE FOR ANY SPIRITED PARTY who may be lucky enough to get it." If not disposed of by Private contract before the 28th day of August, it will be Sold by Auction by Mr. George Robins, at the Castle Inn, Conway, North Wales, on the 16th October, 1844. In the meantime, full particulars may be had on application to Mr. E. Owen, Auctioneer, Ruthin ; or to Mr. George Robins ,London REV. WILLIAM JAY'S WORKS.

GLOBE.—We presume our readers have not for gotten Lord Lyndhurst's triumph over Lord Campbell in the House of Lords, on the occasion of the latter Nobleman's proposing a measure for shortening con veyances of land. On Lord Campbell's exhibiting a form of conveyance on the palm of his hand, to show what he could do under his Act, Lord Lyndhurst im mediately thrust forward another specimen, to show what he could do without any Act at all ! To be sure, by Lord Lyndhurst's plan the purchaser was to be con tent to take his land without the usual accompani ments of light and right of way, and such little conveni ences which are—mistakenly, of course, but still com monly—supposed to help somewhat towards the com fortable enjoyment of the property ; while by Lord Campbell's draft, all these, with no greater length, were carefully, and even strictly, preserved. And if we remember rightly, there was one other difference • so trifling as, perhaps, to be scarcely worth recalling; namely, that under Lord Campbell's plan, if the purchaser did chance to find himself in a hobble, he was not under the neces sity of lodging the property in Chancery, with the hope that in about half a dozen years' time it might, perhaps, be restored to him. Under Lord Camp bell's plan this was not necessary. The purchaser was to have a complete chain of covenants for title secured to him by Act of Parliament ; and if any of them were infringed, he had a cheap and speedy remedy by the old common law of the realm. But Lord Lyndhurst interposed ; and the House of Peers threw out Lord Campbell's mea sure. The public had been taught latterly to expect something in the way of cheap and concise convey ancing; and we grumbled a little at being disap pointed, without any apparent cause. But still the thing seemed inevitable ; and we resigned our selves to it, with the best good temper we could summon up at so short a notice. But just as we had fairly given up all hopes of seeing our title-deeds reduced to a reasonable length, such as we might con over of an evening for an hour's amusement, Lord Lyndhurst hurls an Act at us, without note or comment; and tells us we may go and simplify our conveyances and make the best of it ! The boon was unexpected; and, as we were half asleep when it came, we were almost inclined to grum ble at fts arrival. But still, there it was. So we deter mined to do as we were bid, and make the most of it. It is not exactly what Lord Campbell proposed. Those long " general words," and the long covenants for title, are just as necessary as ever. But we are bound in common honesty to admit that it confers benefits which we really believe Lord Campbell did not think of. In the first place—we love to begin at the beginning. Most of our readers, we hope, are the owners of title-deeds ; and most of them, we dare say, have had occasion, at one time or other, to look at their contents. They most probably observed the waving boundary line, which the professors of our jurisprudence— keenly alive, no doubt, to the delicire of Hogarth's line of beauty, which it so closely resembles ; and ever solicitous, it must be admitted, to blend the utile curn dulei—have• placed at the head of most of our parchments. Perhaps they wondered what it was for. Perhaps they did not think at all about it. At all events, they have Lord Lyndhurst's free per mission to snip it away, at once and for ever. We now proceed to unfold higher mysteries • which none but the initiated, we fear, will be able fully to understand. Such of our readers, however, as have attained to years of discretion may remember that, in what Cleopatra calls their " salad days," they were sorely puzzled to know why two deeds should be necessary to convey one property. They were, perhaps, told that, owing to certain technical reasons, which they could not understand at all, the purchaser was obliged to take a lease of the land for one year before he could ac quire it out and out. He was further informed, probably, that the method was invented by a great lawyer, and not in other respects unknown to fame— by no ess a man, to wit, than Sir Orlando Bridge man. And, what is more probable than all the rest is, that when he was told all this, he knew nearly as much about the matter as he did before. Three years ago, however, a learned conveyancer, anxious to simplify the transfer of property to common under standing—he could have no other possible motive for what he did—drew an Act, and after some little trouble passed it through both Houses of Parliament, to make one deed sufficient for all time to come for one property. To conciliate the " Stamps and Taxes," he enacted that the one deed should pay duty for two ; and, to gratify a very pardonable vanity, con sidering the consideration he had evinced for the wishes and feelings of the public, he enacted that a clause should be inserted in future conveyances, stat ing that they were made in pursuance of Stewart's Act! This clause, gentle reader, has Lord Lyndhurst — contriving, we fear, and unlawfully, wickedly, and maliciously intending to injure and prejudice the said J. S., and to deprive him of his good name, fame, credit, and reputation—enacted shall be used no more. We come to the end. If any of our readers ever happened to read through to the end of one of their deeds, they noticed a clause of two lines and a half (neither more nor less), providing that the trustees should have power to give valid discharges for such will moneys as might come to their hands. T his clause henceforth have to be expunged. Of course, we can have no manner of doubt that Lord Lyndhurst's Act will do just as good service as that clause but we must own we are surprised that the three estates of the realm—who, to be sure, make Acts of Parliament now-a-days, like Mr. Wakley's poetry, by the mile— should have given their solemn sanction to an Act which, by way of simplifying the transfer of pro perty, cuts off a crooked line from the top of a deed, three more straight lines out of the middle, and two and a half at the end I _ MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, THURSDAY EVENING. TIMES:—The meetings of the Croydon and Epsom and Croydon Railway shareholders were for the special purpose of amalgamating the interests of the two Com panies, and resolutions to that effect were passed unani mously at both. It transpired in the course of the de bate at the Croydon meeting, that in the event of the :ioiith-Eastern Company taking a lease of the Green wich line, the Directors would be quite prepared to ac cept the terms which the Croydon Company have offered the Greenwich Company, as respects tollage and room for the experiment of the atmospheric principle. The result of the working of the Dalkey branch in Ireland was stated to be most successful, and the cause of the late stoppage explained, as arising from necessary re pairs to the engine employed on the line. • It is pretty generally understood that the deficiency bills deposited by the Treasury with the Bank to cover advances for dividprids and other'causes, are either en tirely paid off at this moment, or their amount so much reduced as to leave them altogether a matter of no im portance. This is the natural result of that disposition of the surplus revenue, ever since the country had such a thing to boast of, which has been adopted in applying the greater part to paying off deficiency bills ; but the incident has other bearings, which well deserve to be understood by the public generally as illustrating the financial position of the Government. The pub lic account with the Bank of England does not differ in principle from the account kept by any pri vate person with his banker. If credit is good, and money is wanted in advance,. it is readily obtained at a fair rate of interest, and in this way the Treasury have been borrowing of the Bank of England for a number of years past on the growing produce of the taxes, such advances being represented by an issue of Exchequer bills, which were gradually cancelled as the new revenue came in. From various causes, mismanagement being at the bottom of all, the whole quarter had usually run out, and new ad vances were required before the old ones were paid off, thus presenting no very creditable account, had it been that of an individual instead of the Government. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, therefore, judiciously di rects his first effort by applying his surplus revenue to the diminution of these balances, to improving the cha racter of his account, and relieving himself of all obli gation to his banker. But beyond this his object pro bably had some reference to the operation of the new Banking Act, and to the possible contingency of hav ing to require advances from the Bank, at a time when the prescribed limit of the circulation had been reached by demands from other quarters, and thus making the Government interfere with the principle of their own Act, or otherwise submit to some inconvenience in making the great periodical public payments. Whether this - motive has had - any- weight with him or not, his thus making himself independent, of all 'advances from the Bank will certainly free him from all danger of the na ture described, as well as place the Government in that independent position towards the Bank which they ought always to have occupied. Instead of having interest to pay, as heretofore, for those advances, the Government may even derive some advantage from the employment of the surplus balances. These things are peculiarly valu able, too, at a time when angry discussions with foreign Powers are going on, in showing our finances to be as free and unembarassed as they possibly could be. Our attention has been called to several evidences of a very decided movement among certain parties con nected with the shipping interest against the arrange ment (now pending) between the Government and the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, for establish ing the communication between Suez and China. On the Bth inst. a petition was presented to Parliament, praying that the public money granted for the purposes of steam navigation might not be applied for the exclu sive advantage of any companies or individuals, but that all engaged in shipping might participate therein, or equally compete for it. No particular company was mentioned in this petition, but it is pretty evident that the Peninsular was the one particularly pointed at. The document from which we extracted some statistics the other day was connected with the same movement, and that same document has been reprinted, with some addi tional remarks against the proposed arrangements. The object of the statements is to show that the three con tractors received from the public for conveying the mails to Halifax, the West Indies, and Alexandria, more than twice as much as could be expected from Post-office re ceipts ; and that the nation therefore incurred a great loss by paying the contractors large sums for conveying the mails, which all other ships and steamers are obli g ed to convey without pay men t. M uc h o f thi s l oss it is de clared is caused by confining the public patronage to a few, the virtual monopoly having enabled the contractors to exact important concessions. The terms of the Pe ninsula Company are then described, and the remarks conclude with the observation, that measures ought to be taken to ascertain from Government the course to be adopted in bestowing 170,000/ of public money. That public money ought not to be expended without due consideration on steam communication, or anything else, will be readily admitted ; but we do not see, till further evidence is brought forward, why we are to as sume that the Government acts quite blindly in making the contract with the Peninsula Company. A certain service is to be performed, and a certain Company under takes to perform it, nor do we see any competitors in the field who arc ready to state their terms, and show that the Government had better engage their services than those of the Company in question. Or is it intended that the whole communication with India is to depend, not on any arrangement with particular parties, but on the Post-office shipping letters by such vessels as happen to sail, as in the case of the comparatively unfrequented parts of the world ? As it would be impossible to insure regularity under this system, it is hardly to be supposed that its adoption is intended to be recommended. If re gularity of transmission is designed, which of course it is, it ought to be clearly ascertained, before the contract plan is attacked, that there are parties ready to start at stated times, and with the uncertain chance of passen gers, without the sure prospect of Government remune ration. We have been informed that communications with India have frequently been worked at a loss, and that nothing short of a Government contract would in duce a person to undertake the service for any length of time. Under these circumstances, it is premature to ob ject to the Peninsular contract till some more tangible reason is brought forward than any we have yet seen. At the same time all attempts that have for their object a saving in any department of public expenditure are worthy of favour and commendation. THE STADT DUTIES TREATY. The treaty was signed in London on the 22d of July, by the Earl of Aberdeen and Mr. Gladstone on the part of her Britannic Majesty, and by Count Kielmansegge and the Sieur Hupeden on the part of Hanover. The first article provides that Hanoverian vessels ar riving in British ports, and British vessels in Hanoverian, shall be subject to no higher dues or charges than na tional vessels respectively. By the second, third, and fourth articles, a reciprocity of free advantage is given to the British and Hanoverian vessels in carrying of goods to and from the dominions of either Power to the dominions of the other. Article five declares that, for the convenience of com merce, the advantages detailed in the preceding articles shall be extended to llanoverian vessels entering British ports from the mouths of the Meuse, of the Ems, of the Weser, of the Elbe, or from the mouth of any navigable river between the Elbe and the Weser, or between the Trave and the Memel. The sixth article ordains that, from the Ist of October next, the Stadt charges on British vessels shall, with a few exceptions, be the same as those - specified in the con vention between the " Elbe-bordering States," signed at Dresden on the 13th of April last. The excepted articles are to be charged only the two-thirds of the duties speci fied in the Elbe convention. By article 7, the contracting parties engage that no reduction of duties, nor any powers, privileges, or immu nities whatsoever, in matters of commerce and naviga tion, shall be granted by either to the subjects of any other State, unless Hanover or Great Britain, as the case may be, be entitled to the same advantages and on the same terms. The eighth article provides for the continuation of the treaty until the Ist of January, 1854, and to a further period of twelve months after either party shall have given notice of its intention to terminate the same. A conference was held at the Foreign-office on the 9th of August, between Lord Aberdeen, Mr. Gladstone, and the Sieur Hupeden. At this meeting the Hanoverian Plenipotentiary stated that it was not certain whether all the parties to the convention of the 13th of April would have finally ratified the articles of the convention on the Ist of October next. He, therefore, proposed that, until all the Elbe-borde rin g States have ratified the conven tion, the present dutie s shall continue in force wi th the exce ption of those on the ar ticles distinc t l y specified in the 6th section of the treaty of July. To this proposition the British Alinisters agreed, upon ce rtain precautionary c onditions bei ng conceded. - THE RAILWAY AND THE HARBOUR OF AYR.

The question of war or peace is the most mo mentous that can agitate the councils of two groat nations. It involves such a magnitude of evil or of good as he must be dull indeed who contemplates without emotion, or makes his election withmtt pause. The character of a nation is a topic which xiaay not be jested with, as on it hinge the chances of a ,secure peace or a sanguinary war. We would treat this matter with the gravity it deserves. We would import a due measure of ear nestness and seriousness into every subordinate dis cussion which is linked to it ; we would, therefire, while we unwillingly depart from our usual . practice of disregarding the cavils of our contemporaries, treat the tone and temper of our antagonists who . ,discuss it, with as much fairness, moderation, and gravity, as their mode of discussing it deserves. If we smile, it is not from any indiff e rence t o th e importance" of the dispute at issue; we leave it to our readers to explain the cause. A Whig contemporary yesterday handled the topic in his funniest way. He began-by c.ondeaussiasg the' -:-; want of judgment we displayed in publisAiing the letters of British officers from Tangiers. He depre cated the temerity—he questioned the grifunds—of our criticism on the seamanship of the Prince de Joinville and the gunnery of his fleet; he proceeded. to unsay all that he had most strenuously-urged the day before ; talked with mild philanthropy of the be nefits of peace, as though he had not done ,his test to hound on the dogs of Ate, and raise a flame of inex tinguishable hate between England and France ;-- and then—after this exquisite specimen of sp if-ab sorption—quietly ended by quoting the communica tion of a correspondent at !Tangiers, which confirmed in every particular the facts which we had stated, and the inferences which we had implied. So much for the feuds of party, when a question which affects the dignity and greatness of the country is at stake It is human nature peeping out through the shreds and patches of faction. It is Winifred Jerikins,lisking " What are all these rarities and vagaries to the heavenly Jerusalem ?" and forthwith proceeding to comment upon a tippet, gauge the dimensions of a hoop, or the profundity of a flounce. The truth is, Englishmen of all parties feel alike on the present relations of France and England. They are zealous for the honour of their country ; they re member with pride the struggles and the dangers, the triumphs and the splendours, of the past; they would not sully the glories of the olden by the humi liation of the present time ; they would not bequeath to their sons a less noble heritage than they-them selves derived from their sires. Hence the anxiety that no unworthy compromise may be effected, no degrading concessions tendered—that France may not exult over a clever manoeuvre or an insidious vic e tory. But the same men also remember the horrors and the atrocities of all wars—horrors and atrocities which the last great conflict between the two king doms realised in their gloomiest form, but which England, straitened and hard-pressed though she was, felt less than any other State of Europe. They remember the mass of human suffering accumulated in every hospital, the annihilation of human liberty in every city of the continent; and while they think of the severer woes which war brings upon mankind, is it strange that they should also remember the weight of taxation it imposes ; that remembering this, they should deprecate an appeal to arms, and pray that there may be peace in Europe ? Yes, it is not peace between two great and often antagonist nations; it is not the harmony of the lily and the rose alone that men think of; it is the concord of many kingdoms, the tranquillity of in. numerable States, and the pacification of Christen dom, that men consider when they long for peace. England and France at war, where would be the tranquillity of Europe? England and France in harmony, what great or desolating war can interrupt the happiness of the world ? It were as reasonable to suppose that the great bodies in the physical world could come into mutual collision, without carrying havoc and destruction amid their dependent satel lites, as that the two kingdoms of France and England could contend, without involving the other States of Europe in the fortunes of the contest. And it is the consciousness of this—of 'the peril to which a rash engagement in war would expose more than the first parties to it—of the responsibility which lies upon men in high station—of the enormous evil that one hasty or ill-judged measure may introduce amongst other elements of disturbance—it is this which, felt in a lesser way and with a less individual interest by men in private station—should exert a strong and intelligible influence upon the mind of Ministers, on whose every word and every sentence depend, humanly speaking, the chances of war or peace. A Minister of Foreign Affairs cannot but feel the momentous responsibility too deeply to act with precipitation. He should be cautious and wary, therefore, not to be the first to throw away the scab bard, and to plunge Europe amid the conflagration of an unnecessary and unnatural discord. But, in his anxiety to insure the blessings of peace, he should not he disposed to truckle with ignominious humility to exorbitant demands or insolent proposals. He well knows that between two great nations the only terms which one ought to offer, and the other to accept, are terms of equality and reciproCity. He must make no adulatory supplications to the magni tude of French power or the arrogance of French ambition. lie must be aware that base concessions would stink in the nostrils of the English people ; that his sacrifice of national [dignity would be the certain excitement of national wrath, and that a peace founded on undue 'pretensions, and undue sub mission, would but pave the way to a war such as only an insulted people would wage to resent a foul dishonour and a monstrous injury. Lord Aberdeenc and M. Guizot both know the value of Oil*, ant. the enormities of war. They both know the 'Meta rests of their respective nations, and, left for theme selves, we doubt not but that they would disappoiSak the rabid votaries of Bellona by doing all they could to foster the confidence and increase the amity of those whose Ministers they are. A word for ourselves. We have been—and may again be—accused of using our influence to foment. the bad passions with which France and England are now disturbed. " God help ye, 'silly . ;tines . ?" What is the gist of our offence? •Vire report the ob servations of British o ffi cers present at Tangiers, eye witnesses of the operations carried on, and capable of testing their skilfulness from their own profes sional experience ; these accounts give us no exalted opinion of French naval tactics; we publish them ; we draw inferences from them. What then ? I s this, too, to be a national Insult to France ? h England or the English Cabinet to be held respon sible for the records, however authentic—fo-r the opinions, however just, of the Times ? It is no mat ter to us, whose opinions or sentiments we are sup posed to represent. But we do protest agaitist any misrepresentation of our objects. We do .protest against the imputation of ;fomenting hostilities be tween England and France. But, at the same time, we do protest against the mouse -like pusillanimity of being supposed not to know where our stren g th lies in the hour of danger. G o d forbid that there should be war, say we. God forbid that we -should be the first to provoke an appeal to arina! But we say no less firmly and sincerely—"lf we are to go to war, we know the secret of our strength. * It.is in the justice of our cause, in our clinging' islhere - nce to peace, as long as peace remained in view f it is 'also in that navy, which, under God's blessing,thea tarried our flag triumphantly to every quarter vf therworld, and which, we fondly hope, shall yet wave as.proudly as it did at Ushant, at the Nile, at Trafalgar.'„ It is no fault of the French that they are not ,made for sailors ; but it would be a great fault on our part, if Iwe did not profit by our proficiency on our own ele ment.—Tinzes. -.• TEIE PATENT COMPOSITE CANDLES.
