This work, though published at sal o sml a price, will greatly sur pass everything that h as y et appeared, even at double or treble the sum. The Engravings will form a Gallery of Fine Art. The first artists in the world will be employed upon them, and the printing and all the details will be executed with the greatest care, a new Printing Establishment being fitted up expressly for the purpose of bringing out this New Series of the Illustrated Exhibitor. The First Num ,er will be ready with the Mag,azines for January, 1852. Mewlly Parts Bd. ; or, when Five Numbers, 10d. each. The ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR and MAGAZINE of ART will not o form a Gallerof Pictorilllustrations, but will also contain anly ably instructive articles on a va r ie t y of subjects, interesting and instructive to all elassee, arranged under the following heads : I. WORKS of the GREAT MASTERS. Copies of the most celebrated Works of the Great Masterss of all Nations in Painting, Sculpture, and other branches f 11. The PORTRAIT GALLERY. _ Which "Oil be' enriched -Ty itik niggraphical Fgaetchea.and-temini... cences. The Portraits will be engraved with the greatest care by first-rate artists ; and, t oge ther with the Blogr enhies, will p rove of d ee p interest and profit. M. HISTORICAL EVE Each article will be accompanied by a splend.. .dgraving. As the most striking events in the history of other nations, as well as our own, will be included, this will prove a medium for the communica tion of much valuable auAnstr d iuctive information. IV. RCHITECTURE. This department will comprise the finest specimens of the Archi tecture of Europe, including the Cathedrals and other Ecclesiastical Buildings of England and the buildings possessing claims to s idences, architectural taste and beauty. V. SCIENTIFIC I DISCOVROVER3EIENIES, INVENTIONS, and TS. This department will embrace a vast range of subjects ; and as the articles will be written in the clearest and most practical style, and illustrated and explained by a number of suitable diagrams and en gravings, it will be deeply interesting to all who desire information on such subjects, hut especially to youthful artisans and mechanics. VI. The WORK eIIOPS MANUFACTuRIESS. and L A.BJRATO- RIES of ENGLAND and the WORLD. In this department one grand object of the recent Exhibition of the Industry of All Nations will be fully carried out, namely, t e deve lopment of the faculty of invention. It will include minute descrip tions of the processes by which the various raw materiais with which the earth abounde are made to supply the necessities, and to minister to the comforts and elegancies of life. The Pictorial I his trations will bye,nueou and the uescriptions will be written in an educational styl sech as to convey instruction and entertainment to families and general readers. VII LOCAL and DOMESTIC SCENES. These will include some of those events which occur in cities, in towns, and in familiar life, which are well deserving of notice, and which admit of beautiful pictorial illustration. Such are national commemorations, the internal arrangements of Government esta blishments, scenes in domestic life, &C., &c. VIII. itEMINI , CENCES of the GREAT EXHIBITION. Consisting of Pictorial a nd Literar y Illustrations of those interest ing objects in Art and science for which space -ould not be f o und in Volume the First. Although the Illustra,ed Exhibitor contains a larger and more choice celleetion ot the valuable contributions to the World's Fair than has been ever belore attempted, yet the various and unique sul jects still to be introduced will be found worthy the reader's best attention. IX. The LADIES' DEPARTMENT. This curious and useful portion of the work will be under the su perintendence of one of the principal fenimes d'aiguilles of the will b ud will be made peeuliarly tuceptable to female readers, as it will be accompanied by a series of illustrations of the most novel and ele gant designs in embroidery, and every kind of ornamental needle work, the latest fashions in dress, &c., &c. It must be obvi ous to the most casual observer, that the specimens of art and manufacture recen collected in the Great Exhibition of th e Industry of All Nations have wonderfully improved the t a ste of all classes of the community, and have inspired them with a oho i°- t h e beautiful, and a desire to excel, whleh no lecturer, or books, w ever well written, con d possibly have done. The object of the Illus trated Exhibitor and Magazine of Art will be to combine lucid ndwrit ing and pict o rial ill ustr ation, addressing itself at on ce to the uer stanling and the eye. And should this New Series, published as it will he at so low a price, answer the description given in this l'ros pectus, it will evidently be the greateit literary undertaking of the present day. The bringing out of each weekly number will involve a large outlay, but John Cassel relies with confidence on the support of all classes of the communitybelieves that this his publication will be truly National in its character, and will secure not fewer than 200,000 Subscribers.

BRADFORD, DEC 25.—Wool—The wool market is not marked by any particular change. The dispropor tion between the price of wool and that of yarns acts as a barrier to extended operations, as the spinners only buy sparingly; nor do we expect to see much activity so long as this disjointed state of things continues. Yarns —There is a decided improvement in the demand for yarns, and although better prices can be realised than were current in November, still the rates as they now rule are anything but satisfactory, and such as will only tend to keep the production in its present limited. form. Pieces—The business doing is fully as much as is usual at the close of the year, and with a firmness in price that has not been manifest for some months past. TRADE OF MANCHESTER, DEC, 24.—Christmas fall ing o❑ the Thursday, or mid-week market-day, there hs,3 been rather snore business to-day than was expected, but there is no change of prices, or indication of a larger general and permanent domand at present. There has been a fair business in the wider shirtiurs suitable for China and for good printing, cloths, at full prices. There is not a large busieesa in domestics, but they still move off in fair quantities for the home trade. Some large orders have been given out this week, and a fair business to-day in yarns at steady prices. The cloths most in demand are common qualities of maddapeiams, and prices are low and unremunerative, but there has been a check given to the production, which will pro bably prevent the accumulation of stocks. After the holidays are over a rather large demand or the staples of this market is anticipated, at the low prices which cotton manufactures have reached under the guarantees which exists for low-priced cotton, in the unexampled supply of t hat article acknowledged to be forthcoming.

By the Royal Mail steam-ship Avon we have re ceived our u sua l correspondence and files of papers from the Pacifi c ports. The rtes from Valparaiso are to the 26th o f October. With reference to the revolution i n Chili, the Tr a lpwaiso Mercantile Re porter gives the f o ll ow i ng latest i n t e lli ge nce : We exp,re sse d i n our last tation of bein g a bl e to inform ou r friends, at the sailing of this steam e r, o f t h e ent i re settl i men t of the disturb anceswhich only ext en d e d to S erena st d C o in the n ort h an d south. B a t our expectations o u r report the exp.ee. have only been p art l y rea li sed. D e riot in the north, which the peopl e o f C op i apo too k n o part, has been successfully quench e d. Th e troops Co quimbo, and in of the insurgents, at the head of whi c h s t oo d G eneral C arre ra, were beaten near Petorca by th e G overnment !aces, consisting of 1,200 men under G enera l Vi daurre , who took 300 pri soners. The enga gemen t l aste d three hours, and the killed and wounded amounted to about 400, taking both sides. Carrera made his escape, aid was followed by the Government troops on his flight " From Copiapo 300 men were seat against Coquimbo to cut off the enemy's retreat, which likewise succeeded, and with the exception of a small number holding out in Serene, we may consider that in the north the revo lution is extinguished, and that no new attempt will be made, which, in fact, in this country can never be suc cessful, as long as the civic forces' of, the country are adverse to it. The best proof of our assertion is, that neither Santiago, nor Valparaiso, nor Copiapo, have taken any part in the disturbances, but, on the contrary, what with safety guards and civics , have supported the Government and upheld the p eace. The places in which this revolutionary spirit has mostly shown itself are those who have voted for General Cruz during the elec tion, and feel aggravated with the issue. Santiago and Valparaiso, as before stated, bear no signs of disturb ances, and philharmonic bails, concert., and theatre belie the possibility. An effort to raise disturbances was made in Aconcagua, but prevented by the consta bles, so that we are entitled to arrive at the conclusion that this so called revolution is only local, and by no means general. " The Government troops from the north are now being shipped to the south, where General Bulnes, with from four to five thousand good soldiers, is supposed to b e able promptly to restore ordar and peace. " With our limited means of communication the transport of troops is often connected with difficulties, this being one of the reasons that we are not able by this steamer to inform our friends of the definite result of affairs in the south. We can only add that the Gai , and that the insur gents are short both of money and arms. We must, vern ment troops are well organised how ever, regret that the effects of this revolution has caused a paraiysation of trade, and thrown an impediment in the march of public enterprise, the effects of which cannot fail to be felt by the very people who have raised the standard of rer)lt.' Bulnes. They are said to number about 4,500 men, in a good state of equipment and filled with enthusiasm. Atter making all due allowance for the partiality of their friends, wo are persuaded that they are in all respects superior to their foes, and anticipate that the intelligence, when it does come, will be of victory. "On the 20th the advance guard of the Government troops began to march from Loncomilla towards Chil lan, having been detained_ by rains. Bequenano, the, Commander-in-Chief of the insurgents, started from Concepcion on the 16th. "Oa the 9th inst. the Government paid the regular dividend on the internal debt, and also cancelled the usual amount of the bonds. " CUSToni•RoUSE.'—On the 22d instant the new Cus tom-house regulations went into effect. The duties, for the most part, henceforth are 25 per cent. Many ar ticlas, as raw materials for manufacturers, are Ire c•; others, as jewelry, at 2 per cent. only; ready-made clothing at 30 per cent.; and tobacco at 100." The - Valparaiso Reporter supplies the following items of news from the neighbouring states : " Ecuador—The presidency of General Urbina has been unanimously accepted, and it is probable that peace will he maintained for some times. •' Peru is in perfect tratqui:lity, and this peaceable state will, no doubt, greatly contribute to its aivance meat in commerce and liberal institutions. " Bolivia is also in peace, although Congress has not fulfilled the promises with which it began its meetings. At first, some of its members dared to raise their voices and claim reforms in the Government, but they were speedily silenced, and Congress will close its meetings without having done anything except abolishing the Quina bank—a measure which Government had resolved on before." COMMERMILL -INTELLIGENCE. (From the Valparaiso Mercantile Reporter.) VALPARAISO, OCT. 26. During the present political disturbances in the coun try no change for the better. as far as the home trade is concerned, can be looked for. We have no doubt, and have sufficient information to assert, that though at pre sent the political sky of our formerly peaceful Republic is clouded, those clouds will soon be dispersed, .and that the cauntry cannot losa its prosperity through the politi cal intrigues of a few. Meanwhile, however, until the disturbances in the north and south are entirely settled, the confidence both of buyers and sellers is shaken. These remarks apply to the home trade, but bear no al lusion to the export trade with our customers of Salta Bolivia and other parts who have to lay in stocks during the coming month for the approaching summer season. Our market is well assorted of English, French, and German goods, and importations during tho month have been considerable, particularly in plain cotton goods from Mancheste, which would have 'net with ready sale under different circumstances. The new tariff, which went into force on the 22d of this month, has caused a considerable activity in the Custom house dispatches, particularly in the dispatches of French silks, the duty on which is now 10 per cent. higher than formerly. A sale of about 20,000 qtls. nitrate of soda has been effected at 18 rls, partly deli verable during the month and the remainder in Decem ber' and this high rate is likely to continue while freight for British shipping keeps at the present rate. No alteration has occurred in the rates of freight for produce to Europe since oar report of last month; few charters are in the market, and quotations may bo nominally made at 30s. for nitrate of soda to Liver pool, and 355. to a safe port in the United Kingdom, calling at Cork for orders; rates for other produce in proportion. Freights to California 8 dollars. The Hamburgh barque Adolph was sold by auction at 3,000 dolls. Under prevailing circumstances we can make no alterations in our price current, and our quota tion must be considered nominal. Neither have any transactions taken place in our staple export articles, as fl cur, barley, and other alimentaries, the principal port of shipping, Concepcion, being blockaded. The nominal price for flour may be quoted at 9 dolls. 4 fo. bl. 200, and 4 dolls. per fanega for small quantities of barley has been obtained. Neither can we report any transactions in coals, copper, or quicksilver. The silver, in bars, arrived by the Bolivia, were sold at the commencement 10 dolls. sr. to 10 dolls. fir. per mark, and 10 dolls. 4r. has been since accepted for some small parcels remaining over.

THE UNITED STATES. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY AFTERNOON. The Humboldt has just arrived off Cowes, on her way to Havre, with the mails for England. She left New York on the 15th instant. She brings 600,000 dollars in specie, mostly in American gold. Kossuth had been received in the city of New York in the most !zoggp~mlatnier: -- -111made hie_ great Frei:&nate is almost speech on the . the Oc cupied with Kossuth. We leern that the resolution of Wilcox relating to him passed the thaited States Senate by a vote of 36 to 6 ; it will pass the house by a larger majority. The New York Herald thus describes the plans of the various adventurers now in America, and gives the palm to Lola Montes : " There is the plan of Mazzini's Italian loan in London, upon which it is said he has already suc ceeded in raising two millions of dollars. There is the plan ofDr. Kinkel, for the German national loan of two millions, to be redeemed by the future republican nationalities of Germany. There is also the plan of Lo pez and his confederates, pledging the public resources, &c., of the country to be conquered, to the liquidation of the bonds. Dr. Kinkel's, ac cording to certain late proceedings at Cleveland, Ohio, is the most startling, comprehending not only the liberation of Germany, but of all the slaves of the Southern States. But the plan of Lola Montes to rescue her beloved Bavaria, King and all, from the outrageous Jesuits, is at once the simplest and most fascinating. No doubt in the w o rld, th e b ottom of t volution o in raise Bavaria,the sinewsan d that of f w h a e r r . h mission designs g t n o s this is c a o u r n e She is a Red Republican —very red, with delicious black eyes to boot. But she keeps her own coun sels ; and, under the plea of her personal necessities, she intends to achieve the independence of Bavaria by dancing. It was the legs of Fanny Elssler that topped out the Bunker-hill monument. Her name is thus for ever identified with one of the most glo rious battles of our revolutionary struggle. Thus, we suspect, does Lola intend to identify herself with the freedom of Bavaria ; not by building, but by de serving a monument." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, DEC. 12, 6 P.M. MONEY MARKET.—The Stock Market opened this morning dull and depressed; quotations for nearly every fancy in the lists fell off a fraction, and there was every appearance of a popular break down. BREAD STUFFS.—FIour varied little. COTTON.—The demand was active. FREIGHTS.—Moderate. EXCHANGE.—Active, but rates firmly sustained. We quote bills on London at 10/ to 10i per cent. premium. ANOTHER POISONING CASE IN SUFFOLK. Boil' ST.EDMIINDS, DEC. 24.—West Suffolk is fast rivaling the reputation of East Anglia for poisoning by arsenic. Not long ago an old man of eighty was committed to Bury gaol on a charge of administering arsenic to Ms daughter-in-law ; and this day (Wed nesday) a farmer, named William Baldry, living at Preston, near Lavenham, was fully committed, charged with an attempt to poison his wife. The sub joined evidence, on which the prisoner was committed, was taken at the gaol, before the Rev. N. W. Hall ward. The wife, who is suffering severely from the effect of the poison, had previously made a statement to the magistrate, expressing her belief that her illness was occasioned by poison administered to her by her husband. She was too ill to attend the inquiry to day, but her deposition was read over to the prisoner, who betrayed a good deal of emotion on hearing it. A child of the prisoner, two years old, and a servant girl, are also both ill from having partaken of some portion of the drink in which it was mixed. Harriet Cone, a widow, and tdbther of Mrs. Bal dry, wife of the prisoner, stated that her suspicion that poison had been administered to her daughter was first excited on Saturday, the 22d of November, and on the following morning (Sunday) she ex amined a glass out of which her daughter had drunk some beer the night before. She rinsed the glass and poured the contents into a small scent bottle, which she put into her pocket, and kept there until the Monday .week following, when she gave it to Mr. Vincent, a surgeon, at Lavenham. The Satur day following, witness was making coffee down stairs, and poured.out two cups, one for her daughter and one for her son-in-law. She left the room not more than two minutes to put some milk into it, and then took a cup of coffee to her daughter, no one else being in the room. Witness sugared the coffee in her daughter's room, and tasted it herself, before giving it to her daughter. The latter drank the greater part of it, and then turned the cup of one si de, exclaiming, " Oh, mother, what is in on here ? She then poured the r ema i n d er kthe th e co ff ee too irlto the saucer, and witn ess cup and saucer down stairs, and showed it to th e ' saying, " What is in thi s co ff ee ?" pr.t must iso ner, He s aid p i t have come out of the s ugar.

In reply to a question from the magistrate, the witness stated that her reason for not telling Mr. Vincent was, that she was afraid he would inform her daughter, and that it might frighten her to death. Mr. E. Image, surgeon, of Bury, stated that on Tuesday week Mr. Vincent sent a bottle to him to be analysed, which he did the same day, and found it to contain no metallic poison. On the following day Mr. Vincent brought a little flat bottle, jbout half filled with what appeared to-be ilvater,iiiith a white sediment at the bottom; The witness had since ana lysed the contents of the bottle, and found arsenic in it. The bottle had been ever since in his possession. P. C. Caldwell, the next witness, deposed that he was at the house of the prisoner on Wednesday evening last, when the prisoner told him that he had mixed two powders, a portion of one in some beer, and the other in some coffee, which had been given to his wife ; that be had taken some of the powder him self as medicine, which made him very sick, but that he afterwards felt better, and thought that by giving her some it would also make her better. The pri soner further said he bought the powders of a man named Attwood, at Bildeston. He then said that he had got three fat pigs in a hovel, and that he would give Mr. Vincent one, and himself (witness) any amount of money not to say anything about it, as no one would ever know it. SIR C. NAPIE lA.'S SERVICES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—Sir Charles Napier, in a letter to you, which appeared in the Times this morning, coolly asserts that my statement of the 20th inst. is a notorious falsehood. May I request you will oblige me by al • lowing me to prove, though the columns of your journal, that if it is so, I have been unconsciously led ' into error from not having seen Sir Charles Napier in the usual place for a commander who could with justice lay claim to having " stormed Sidon and taken the garrison prisoners ;" Sir Charles Napier's assertion, " I stormed Sidon and took the garrison prisoners," leading every one to believe that he headed the troops and led them to the attack. The first question I would ask Sir Charles Napier is—Who was the British officer who so gallantly dashed across the bridge into the town at the head of the Turkish troops? Not Sir Charles Napier, but Mr. Arthur Cumming, now Commander Cumming, of the Royal Navy. Secondly,—Who led the battalion of Royal Ma rines to which I was attached up to the sea-gate of the town to support the Turks above-named ? Not Sir Charles Napier, but Captain Morrison, of the Royal Marines. Thirdly,—Who led the battalion of Royal Marines that marched to the attack of the other sea gate ? Not Sir Charles Napier, but Captain Whylock, now Colonel Whylock, of tl:e Royal Marines. Sorely, if Sir Charles Napier was not at the head of either of thesa bodies of troops, he cannot well take all the credit to himself of having " stormed Sidon and taken the garrison prisoners." Sir Charles Napier might have gone up, outside the walls _of the town, to the upper ors-land - gate,- but the point of attack on which the largest body of troops was concentrated must have been the post of danger ; and I am still of opinion that if an officer does not lead on his soldiers to the attack, but crawls round outside a wall whilst the first and hottest brush is going on inside, he cannot with any modesty lay claim to be considered the great warrior Sir Charles Napier would wish to make' himself appear. I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, Dec. 26. A ROYAL MARINE. THE REV. P. COOPER. (From the Cork Southern Reporter.) The more we reflect on the letter addressed by the Reverend P. Cooper to the Freeman's Journal, the more astounded we are at the audacity of its tone, the more amazed at the indiscretion of the writer. That the reverend gentleman could have imagined any journalist, not reduced to the condition of absolute servitude, capable of submitting to the dictatorial command conveyed in it, is more than we are able to comprehend. But if he did imagine that his threaten ing missive could produce the effect, and wrote it merely to frighten the editor of the Freeman ' s Journal into a suppression of the manifesto of Mr. Keogh and his colleagues, his conduct would not appear so pre-eminently absurd as it now does. For, evidently more than doubting the acquiescence of the Freeman, in his extraordinary demand, he yet insisted on hav ing the fact, that such a demand was made, pro claimed to the world, by the publication of his letter. He felt it to be more than probable that the journalist could not bow to the degradation of complying with his orders : and yet he seems to have been quite satis fied that the country at large was sunk to such a point of baseness, as to concede that he was justified in issuing them. A grosser insult to the intelligence and independence of Catholic Irishmen we really could not conceive possible. We should like to IND sir who or what Mr. Cooper is, that he dares to forbid the publication, by the Irish Press, of an appeal to the Irish people, by cer tain of their representatives, on a subject in which they arei mmediately and seriously concerned ? By what authority does he assume to intermeddle in the business ?—ls it as curate of one of the metropolitan churches that he constitutes himself censor of the Press?—" Don't dare to print the mischievous letter of these Parliamentary busy bodies, till you know what the Primate thinks of it; or, if you do, let the country know that I, the Reverend P. Cooper, one of the curates in Marlborough-street, warned you not ? —Risum teneatis amici Why, his reverence medi tated a coup d itat. What twenty-four Archbishops and Bishops, and a supernumerary, did not even at tempt, at Thurles, the Reverend P. Cooper made a bold effort to accomplish on the 18th of Decem ber, 1851. The 18th Brumaire was a joke to what he tried to do, but—as failures will occur sometimes — didn't. 2 € %T27 bottom. She saw the prisoner give the beer to her daughter, first putting in some sugar from a basin on the stand, an d st i rring it up. Witness grated some nutmeg into it, and her daughter drank part of it; while holding it in her hand, Baldry said, " Ain't you going to drink it all ?" but she said she was afraid, for the doctor had forbidden her beer. He replied, " Drink it all out ; it won't hurt you:' He had procured the beer by her daughter's desire. About half-past three in the mornin g, a f ter dr i n ki ng the beer, witness's dau g ht er was very sick, and vomited for two hours.

She kept the scent-bottle in her pocket, with the stuff in it, from the Sunday morning until the following S 4. turday. Mr. Vincent, the surgeon, had come there during the week—she did not know how many times; and though she saw him every time he came, she told him nothing of the bottle during that week. When he came on the following Monday she gave him the bottle. It is important to add, as assigning a motive for the commission of the alleged crime, that in the wife's deposition she stated that some time ago she had a sum of money left her, part of which she gave to her husband. Latterly he had pressed her for the re mainder, which she refused to give him, and that ever since he had treated her hardily. But, as it is hardly probable that he acted in his simple capacity of curate, in what other did he " warn" the Freeman ? Is he Censor of the Press "in petit; ?" Does the Primate intend the reverend gentleman for this distinguished post ? If so, we must " warn" him that he has made a great blunder, in anticipating the period of his appointment. Ire land has not yet been " ultramontanised" enough to begin this sort of work. Our countrymen have been accustomed, so long, to so much freedom of the Press, at least, as consists in the publication of letters from patriotic M.P.s, that they will by no m eans un derstand Mr. Cooper's mode of dealing with It would demand, at least, a f ew years ' them. acquaintae with the curriculum of the University that is to be, to bring their minds into accordance Metropolitan Curate. with that of the Let no one supose that way in taking up p this letter s o f our the sooner the country reverend gentleman has a o a f re, \ going out , . ilr.

Audacious in i:s object, and insolent in its tone, every newspaper which is not the 1 mere tool of some enslaving influence should denounce it. Not because the threat comes from an individual, of very small personal pretensions; but, on the con trary, and a fortiori, because a sort of weight is at tempted to be attached to the Curate's admonition, by coupling with it the Primate's name. The com mand of Mr. Cooper would be merely ridiculous, but it has a significance which becomes important when connected with the allusion to Dr. Cullen. Were the act on which we comment that of the latter, it would merit still more resolute rebuke. MRS.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. THE WOOL TRADE.—LONDON, DEC. 24.—The im ports of wool into London during the week ending to day, have been large, 3,038 bales, of which 1,195 were from Sydney, 558 from South Australia, 383 from Mo pdore, 548 from Taganrog, 113 from Germany, 115 from the Cape of Good Hope, and the rest from Peru, Odessa, &c. The market has been rather quiet, the holidays interfering with the usual course of the trade. ENGLISH WOOL.—LEEDS, DEC. 26 —There has been a fair extent of business done this week, and prices are firmer, with MI upvard tendency. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE.—LEEDS, DEC. 26.—1 t is usual to find, at this season of the year, business opera tions conducted on a very limited scale, and the past week has formed no exception to the rule. We are, however, looking forward, with the beginning of the new year, to a considerable improvement in all branches of the wool trade. TRADE of LEEDS.—Wo have no new feature to re port of the state of our cloth markets, business at the halls being, as usual, very dull at Christmas; and this being the season for taking stock, there was a very thin attendance of bayers at the market both on Saturday and Tuesday.

An h ones t cause stands in need of no perplexed and e l a b ora t e expos i t i on. For our such owa part, reposing as, i n common w i th the Parliament and the country, we have reposed entire confidence i n Lord Palmerston's administration of foreign affairs, and sensible as we consequently are of the heavy loss which the Crown and the country have sustained in his retirement from office, we sought with impartial care, in the statement which the Times was originally instructed to make upon the subject, for some grounds of state policy sufficiently strong to account for so startling an event. We sought in vain. The reasons essigeed by the Ministers for their olNn conduct were discreditable to themselves and humiliating to their country. It became our duty, as public journalists, to notice this fact, and to offer such comments as were re quired by the importance and magnitude of the ques tion. We did b 0 with deep and unaffected pain. We indulged in no surmises—we offered no suggestions. As far as Lord Palmerston is concerned, we were contented to wait for such explanations as he shall think it fit to give or to require in his place in Par liament. Teat Noble Lord, with a dignity and for bearance well suited to his high place, and higher character, has sought no means of anticipating the solemn and searching discussion which, no doubt, awaits this grave business in the House of Commons. Had the Ministry followed so prudent an exa m pl e , they m i g h t, at least, for a few weeks, have spared themsel ves the unhappy they now re self-exposure under which sue- ar• They hive adopted another course, and they must bear, as they best may, the just and I inevitable consequences of their startling act, and of their still more startling attempts at its justification. We have d eemed It right thus emphatically to remind our rea d ers, that all the remarks which we have offered h ave b een made upon the eete as stated by the Goesf nment i tself, arid not b which was exclusi ve l y i nstructed to y us. The journ al p u blish the fact was enabled by th e same authority to assign its cause. We did not, and could not, question the ve racity of the Times, or its right to make the an nouncements in question. 'Ye took them as they stood on its officially inspired Page. We believed, and we believe, them to have been perfectly accurate. The Times, then, said that it was not " Lord Grey," nor " his connexion," nor any " rival faction in the Cabinet." " Lord Grey," on the contrary, an d his connexion," and " most of their colle a gues, were ig norant of the object for which the Cabinet had been summoned to meet." They learned then that object for the first time by the announcement made to the Cabinet in its sitting of Monday last. From this and other similar statements put forth in the Ti mm, we yesterday showed, beyond the possibility of contra diction, that as the cause did not exist i n any " rival faction" of the Cabinet—and as it i s further notorious that it did not arise from any withdrawal of Parliamentary or public confidence) from Lord Palmerston, it could have its origin no where to England, Whence, then, came it ? We did not answer that question for ourselves—we found it s answe r in the Times. Our contemporary said, in language which he could not have ventured to employ without authority, " Her Majesty's Government could not be indifferent to the fact that, from one cause or another, the administration of foreign af fairs by Lord Palmerston had apparently left him without an ally in Eu rope, an d , as some thi n k, with out a friend." " The elder statesmen of Europe," it was added, "regarded him witb a degree of hostility and distrust." This, be it remembered, is the only affirmative statement in which the Times was autho rised to indulge up to yesterday. He had abundance of negatives. It was ";not Lord Grey." .; It was " not Lord Grey's connexions." It was "not any conspiracy." It was not any " rival faction in the Cabinet." And after having exhausted all conceivable " nots," we are informed that the Government were dissatisfied be cause " Lord Palmerston's administration bad not left him an ally, and, as some thought, a friend, in Europe, whose elder statesmen regarded him with a degree of hostility and distrust." This, then, is, as we have already shown, the real motive of the Ministerial act, and the only one which, through their chosen organ, they have assigned. We empha tically repeat that it was not suggested by us. We could not have supposed that there existed any Englishman—much less any English Minister —who would have entertained and avowed a sentiment so unworthy of his country. We learned, with an astonishment which the country will share, that, nevertheless, it has been published in English, and in a paper officially entrusted to make known a change in an English Ministry of which Lord John Russell is the head. However incredible, it is true. " Who would not laugh, if such a man there be? Who would not weep, if Atticus were tee?" Now there can be no mistake about the meaning and intent of the very remarkable words which we have - quoted. It is not therown *Web is " left - without an ally or a friend in Europe." This would be di rectly the reverse of the fact. For every state in Europe is " left " either in close alliance, or on terms of complete amity with England. In like manner, it is not the Crown of England which was alleged to have been distrusted or disliked by the elder statesmen of Europe. No. It was Lord Pal merston, the Minister, who had no "ally or friend" among the elder statesmen of foreign European Courts. Would the English public have hcnoared him with so much admiration and confidence if he had ? Wherefore should her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, or any other of her Minis ters, form private and personal alliances with the Ministers of foreign Courts. If any one of them has, it is high time that be should be dismissed from an office whose duties he cannot impartially discharge. But this is the new and degrading doctrine which we condemn, and which will be regard e d w ith s till severer condemnation by the people of England. Be cause Ministers of foreign Courts—the elder states men of Europe —men sworn to maintain interests that are not English —cannot succeed in decoying into private alliances a member of the English Ca binet, that member must retire from office. In other words, it is not the Queen who must choose her own Ministers—it is not the public confidence in their integrity and ability that her Majesty must regard in making her selection. She must see that her confi dential advisers have confidential " allies" and " friends" amongst the Ministers of foreign Courts, and the " elder statesmen of Europe" must construct the English Cabinet from men 'whom they, and not she, can " regard without distrust and hostility." Upon reflection, it seems that the Times has dis covered the melancholy indiscretion of which his official instructors have been guilty. Yesterday he assumes a different tone, and, deprecating an y official or authoritative information, suggests a new and totally different cause for the retirement of Lord Palmerston. It is not now the Noble Lord's hos tility to foreign States or Ministers, or the hos tility of foreign States and Ministers to him. It has now become a " serious and unfounded imputation on the Government to suppose that the removal of Lord Palmerston has been instigated by the agents of fo reign Courts," If it be so, we repeat, it is the Ti mes and his Ministerial instructors alone that has visited the Government with such imputations. Th ey f orm their own, and their only, explanation of their con duct:But the Time;si coming to the rescue, says th e y , know nothing about the matter, for it was Lord Pal merston's friendship to France, and not foreign dis trust of him, that led to his retirement. He a pproved, it is alleged, of the course adopted by the President of the French Republic, and his colleagues not only "differed from him in their views" on this subject, but there was "a marked difference between their mode of dealing with the emergency" and that of the Noble Viscount. The Times takes great care to impress upon his readers that he does not speak here from offi ci a l information. It is well that he enters this caveat. For we do not hesitate to assert, upon grounds and authority which leave on our mind' no doubt of the fact, that, wh en the matter shall be fully investigated, and the pr oo f s l aid before t h e pu blic, it will be found that the Cabinet has, Lord Palmerston's retiree since the Fh G ment, officially " I :r n Z cated „,„ and ents" to renc precisely similar overn in meat" those every respect to which had been communicated to that Government by Lord Palmerston, and that there is " Do differenee ,, whatever between th e i r "mode" and his of dealing with this emergen c y. W e ma ke this statement with the fullest confidence that i t will be found correct, and we have a claim t o be believed, inasmuch as we have never misled the public mind in any matter. There are one or two more points to which we must return, but our time and space compel us to leave the subject here for to da y. " A MERRY CURISTMAS AND k.
