VI 1 I ntlilart qAtIL f!-W' LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1851. Red-tapism has, in France, received a blow so severe that it may be seriously doubted whether it can ever again, as a system, recover its ancient predo minance. It has been demonstrated most clearly that the Government of a great commonwealth can be cerried on vigorously and satisfactorily without the assistance of those men who have hitherto been re garded as the necessary conductors of an administra of extra o rdinary and almost Lion. During a p eri od executive powers of the unprecedented difficulty, t h,,, Republic have been entrusted to statesmen unhack neyed in the proceedings of the Legislature. With out being the leaders of an influential party, without being connected in guy other of the influenti a l factions in the Assembly, the members of the prese n t Ministry of Transition have, mverthele,s, contrived to regulate the interests of the nation in a m anner the most effective and commendable. They have triumphed in accomplishing labours which lied baffled the skill of men, politically speaking, their superiors, men of considerable practice, and of comprehensive experience. The experiment adveltered upon by Louis NAPOLEON, in a coorea nt of suprwrne embar rassment, has, in fact, sac-1.,N1e,1 " to a miracle." Defied as he was openly and 11:greatly by the majo rity of the Legisheive Aasetnbly, hampered in all his efforts to watch over the destinies of France, contemned in all his endea opposee in every scheme, yours at conciliatio n, in every of fi c i a l s uggestio n , i n every m i n i ster i a l mea sure submitted at his dictate to the opinion of the popular representativ -4 s ,— the PRE •IDENT was corn- An.: 'peAeill resort to some such desperate method of l:?:-‘--ren de . tatielf indep •nient, an d of imparting a :i ..1144eark:Aitaou t of strength to his Government. ) p . pell4 l .h2e'o l( t but t e mperate Tnessige, in which he r i . p,iiri 0n33 . 50Mp1e Parliament of the Ps-public his de k"-\)ce.l, --tcr*iilti96:to , elect from without its walls the Mi \e• '-e..„eastere9n tiati ifferent departments of the Adminis ,_ Al a a THE SUN, tration. A Cabinet of Transition it was called for 1' the nonce, but since the morning of its appointment it has still continued to hold its ground in defiance of the most contemptuous opposition. Than this assuredly nothing could scarcely have been more unpalatable to the rival politicians grown grey in their career as administrators. It is proclaimed to the people that the affairs of the country can be at tended to without any mediate or immediate aid from themselves, and that men, so to speak of pro vincial reputation, have done more for the good of the population than the statesmen who have hereto fore dreamed of monopolizing to themselves the per quisites and the privileges of Government. In consequence of these recent occurrences, the cause of the PRESIDENT has been amazingly strengthened in the estimation of the general community, while that of his calumniators and assailants has been deteriorated very nearly beyond the reach of redemption. Not withstanding all the sinister predictions made by the counter-revolutionists, with a view to depreciate the influence of Louis NAPOLEON among the multitude, his integrity has been displayed so conspicuously as to be now visible in the sight of all men. Scarcely three months have elapsed since it was prophesied that he meditated a coup d'etat, yet he has done no such thing, but on the contrary has preserved the capital in a state of uninterrupted tranquillity. It was said that he was about to take up his residence in the palac e of the Tuileries, yet he is to the pre sent moment residing in the Elysee Nati tional. It was asserted that he had become altogether dissatisfied with his simply democratic and magisterial prerogatives, yet he is nothing more even now than mere Monsieur le PRESIDENT. He has failed to grasp the fasces of a Consul, the sceptre of a King, or the diadem of an Emperor. There are no golden bees embroidered on the dais of his banquet ting-room. The illoniteur has recorded no repetition of an 18th Brumaire. The Assembly has neither been decoyed to the gardens of St. Cloud, nor driven at the point of the bayonet out of the windows of the Orangerie. M. THIERS can eat his cutlet undis turbed before going down to the Repub lican Parliament to declaim against the in dividual he was wont to laugh at in his sleeve as the planche Napoleonienne. M. BERRYER can move without impediment to the tribune, where he unfolds the brief occasionally entrusted to him by the Count DE CHAMBORD. The Orleanists can correspond in freedom with the Prince DE JOIN vILLE, or with the guardians of the Comte DE PARIS. Every section of the counter• revolutionary party continues to be un fettered by any arbitrary proceedings on the part of the PRESIDENT of the Republic or his Government. And yet this is the traitor to the Constitution, who was said to be plotting for the seizure of the reins of despotism ! This is the man who was three months ago to have strangled democracy in the capital, and to have dispatched his imperial emissaries, with almost irresponsible autho rity, in each of the eighty-six departments ! After the glaring falsification of these prophecies, it is to be hoped that the real enemies of the Republic will refrain for a while at least from directing their poi soned calumnies against the heads of the veritable guardians of the Constitution. Uneloaked themselves in their endeavours to uncloak their antagonists, they must surely pause for a time before they venture once more to tamper with public credulity. The people will not readily believe their bodings of evil however emphatically pronounced, or however circumstantially attested. Besides, they should bear in recollection the sagacious hint of the fabulist —or, when the period of peril really does arrive to the Republic, their warn ings will be regarded with either silent contempt or manifest derision. Nevertheless, under any circum stances, we cannot but think, when we look back upon the record of the events which have taken place in France since the February of 1848, but more espe cially since the memorable 10th of December, that the veritable source of danger to the Constitution, and generally to the whole sacred cause of democracy, may be discovered in the bosom of that very faction which has hitherto most noisily pronounced Louis NAPOLEON the secret traitor to the Republic. We mean, of course, the highly conscientious faction of the Le gitimatists, embracing the advocates of both the Bourbon and the Orleans dynasty. Among these sinister politicians may, unhappily, be discerned most of the eminent and practised statesmen in France. Fortunately, however, the object of their calumnious animosities has recently shown both them and the nation that he can manage admirably well without having recourse to their personal assistance. Hence the cause for congratulation to the Republic, which we continue to recognise in the career of the Cabinet the world was at first disposed to laugh at, but which is now widely and favourably known as the Ministry of Transition. The Bishop of CLIFTON, as Dr. J. W. HENDREN is pleased to designate himself, has written forcibly on the disgust excited in the mind of Miss AUGUSTA TALBOT for what is termed fashionable life, of the little happiness she derived from the " charms of society," and the anxious yearning after the peaceful retirement of " the Lodge," which induced her " to beg admission as a postulant—that is as one intended to become in due time a nun, if considered to be properly qualified ;" in accordance with which feel ing, " she wrote a most earnestly supplicating letter to that efftct." The Right Reverend Doctor has also kindly informed the public of the "consternation" excited in the convent by the proposition. Many of the nuns objected to it strongly—not on account of any personal feeling against the dear creature who had been educated under their auspices, but for " the reason that they would be accused of having in veigled her to enter among them on account of her wordly advantages." This would probably have proved fatal to the hopes of the youthful aspirant, but for the opportune interference of the benevolent Bi.ahop, who stepped forward, the deus ex machina, to remove all impediments to the consummation so devoutly to be wished for, which would enable Miss TALBOT, if she should satisfactorily pass through the preliminary ordeals; to spend the remainder of her existence in tranquil seclusion, and devote her 80,0001. to the building and endowing of churches and chapels, and schools and hospitals, and 'orphan ages, &c., which are so much required, as the' Ca tholic Church in England is very poorly provided." He certainly made the suppliant know the value of the boon he was conferring. lie told her that he " did not consider her at all fitted for the conventual life, but that he might be wrong in his judgment, and therefore would not oppose her wish, if the commu nity were willing to give her a trial." Even this ob stacle was cleared any by the kindness of the eccle siastical superior, who wrote to the lady abbess in a similar way, "but adding, that in such a case the cen sures of the world, which they apprehended, must be disregarded." And thus it happened that the earnest prayer of the petitioner was granted, and that, " ac cordingly, she was admitted somewhere about the be ginning of September." It may be interesting to our readers to quote the fol lowing extract :from The Secret Instructions of the Je suits, which are given in an admirable pamphlet,* to which we have already directed the public attention in our impression of the Ist inst. It shows the mode in which the members of the society are to act to ward those whom it is desirable to inveigle into a convent. They are informed " HOW WIDOWS' CHILDREN ARE TO BE TREATED TO MAKE THEM EMBRACE A RELIGIOUS LIFE. " Mothers must press upon their daughters the diffi cultie% of tho marriage state, with the miseries they have endured themselves, and when they are growing up must rqius e them a ll that is attractive in drt , ss, promising them con.iclersbl,l portions if they become nuns.

Might she not have been so " tired of leading such a life at home" as to be willing to embrace a religious life, and might not the unpleaiing matrimonial proposals have been urged on her for the same motives ? Mi3S TALBOT was not to become a professed nun until after she had attained her full age. If we wish to know why so long a probation was enforced upon that young lady, we may learn it from the rule con tained in Chapter 9 : " Never admit any one, except for very important reasons, to take his last degree while he is in expectation of being left an estate, unless he be a younger brother in the Society, tor above everything the greatest exertions must be made to augment lands, for ends known to the Superiors." Our space, unfortunately, will not admit of our availing ourselves more largely of the modes by which " rich widows," " rich merchants, citizens, and married people without families," are to be gained over, so that their whole property may fall to the society, if the plans pointed out be skilfully observed. To all who wish to know these matters more fully, we once more earnestly commend the last publication of the late lamented JAMES SEDGWICK, Chairman of the Board of Taxes, whose recent melancholy death must be fresh in the public recollection. • " A Letter to the Lord Bishop of London on the Pro mulgation of the recent Papal Bull." By a Barrister. London : J. Ridgway, Piccadilly ; W. and T. Piper, 23, Paternoster-row. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The negotiations with M. ODILON BARROT for the formation of a Paliamentary Ministry have been finally broken off. M. BARROT insisted that the Home Department should be given either to M. Du- FAURE or to M. LEON DE MALLEVILLE, and the PRESIDENT was equally determined that neither of those gentlemen should have a seat in the Cabinet. In the National Assembly yesterday, M. BAZE as cended the tribune, and demanded that the proposi tion of M. DESMARS, relative to the application of the law of the 31st of May, 1850, to the election of the President of the Republic, be placed as early as pos sible on the order of the day. The report on the pro position was deposited on the 21st of February last, and the Assembly had had ample time to examine the question. M. LEON FAUCHER observed that several other propositions to the same effect had been referred for examination to a Committee of the House, and that it would be advisable to wait until that Committee had made its report. He could not see the object of an isolated debate on the law of the 31st May, 1850, which, if attacked, would not want defenders in the Assembly.—(Murmurs on the Left.) M. BAZE replied, that the proposition of M. D.ll MARS did not imply in any manner the application or non-application of the law of the 31st of May, 1850. Its sole object was to induce the Assembly to decide by a formal vote that the law in virtue of which representatives of the people were returned, should likewise serve for the election of the PRESIDENT of the Republic. After a few words from M. DESMARS, the As sembly, being consulted, gave the priority to the motion of M. BAZE, and resolved that the propo sition of M. DESMARS should be discussed on Friday. A terrific hurricane raged at Lyons on the 22d. The Bourse continues tecble, and public securities have a downward tendency.

In an article on the Dresden Conferences the Mi nisterial organ of the Prussian Government declares distinctly that it is a chief point in the instructions of the Prussian Plenipotentiary to give his assent to no thing by which the Prussian Constitution can be affected. His MAJETTY'S Government are rather guided by the idea that even if it were possible to improve any defects in the Prussian Constitution by decisions taken in Dresden, the mode of effecting them would appear too dangerous to be adopted for the sake of the advantages of such alterations. The Prussian Chamber of Deputies voted, on the 21st, the Ministerial Budget by a large majority. The Emperor of AUSTRIA arrived at Trieste on the 22d. The Austrian Ministerial journals state that the question of the Presidency has been arranged with Prussia. She will share with Austria in the Presi dency of the Executive Committee, while Austria alone will preside in the Diet. A letter from Agram, of the 18th, ;states that in consequence of a rumour that Austrian troops, under the command of Baron JELLACHICH, were shortly to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Seraskier has sent persons of trust to the frontier to ascertain what foundation there was for such a rumour. This circumstance has caused a semi-official article con tradicting that rumour to be inserted in the Agram Gazette. ITALY. The Paris Ordre has the following : " It is positively asst rted that the Holy See has sanc tioned the project for carrying a line of railway through the Roman States, and that a Congress is now sitting at Rome for the purpose of determining the point where it shall cross the Apennines, and the amount that the Governments of Austria, Tuscany, Rome, Modena, and Parma shall respectively contribute to this enter prise. The object of Austria is, as soon as these means of communication are open, to make the Grand Ducal Government itself the unconscious in strument of her design of impeding the progress of the commerce of Tuscany, by imposing restrictions which will insensibly destroy the very principle of liberty. If Austria succeeds in persuading the Pope to consent to aid in the construction of a railway from Trieste to Leghorn, and to give up all the other projected lines—such, for instance, as those from Rome to Ancona and Bologna, or from 'Ancona to Civita Vecchia—she will undoubtedly endeavour to obtain great facilities in favour of merchandise destined for Trieste, and so to establish new restrictions, to the prejudice of Tuscan trade, in the hope of afterwards rivalling Genoa in the Levant. It is evident that Austria neglects no means of extending her influence in Italy, and Leghorn already begins to feel the effects of the policy she follows." The Milan Gazette of the 20thinst. publishes the following proclamation : Tho Emperor having, by a sovereign resolution, dated the 10th, ordered the establishment of a military cordon along the frontier from Sesto-Calende to Grave lona, and having granted the Customs officers who are stationed along that cordon, the same right of using their arms as the soldiers of the army, the inhabitants are informed that the Customs officers have received pre cise orders to fire on whoever shall cross the line of the cordon and not halt at the third summons, or who, on halting, shall not instantly lay down the arms he may have in his possession.

NAVIGATION OF THE THAMES.—The opinion is very prevalent that the intricacy of the navigation at the mouth of the Thames renders it perfectly secure against the approach of any foreign ships unprovided with pilots. For the purpose of undeceiving those persons who entertain thi s opinion, it may be mentioned that the Governolo (Sardinian man-of-war steamer of 1,400 tons, and mounting 12 long 63- pounders, lately arrived at Woolwich) found her way from Spithead, through the Downs and up the river to Woolwich without a pilot, though not a man or officer on board had ever bean up the river before.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 150 American, and 500 Surat, were taken on speculation; comprising 5,500 American, 500 Egyptian at 7fd. to 911, and 700 Surat at 4iti. to 50. per lb. The market was livelier, and closed firmly.—Railway Shares were dull, and prices were declining. Messrs. Laing and Bruxaer inform us that in respect to the Indigo sales, a printed document has been exten sively circulated, bearing the signature of" A Merchant;" and, notwithstanding the severity with which the pro ceedings of the brokers are castigated, they cannot be said to be altogether undeserved. There can be no doubt whatever that the character of the periodical sales has suffered largely in public estimation by the practice of making extensive declarations only to take the goods in; and the result has been, that buyers have to a great extent refrained from attending or giving orders, an effect we consider very deplorable as regards the in terests of all parties. It is to be hoped that the general approbation of the trade of the animadversions alluded to, may have the desired result of restoring the Indigo sales to their pristine respectability. The new constitution of Indiana provides that after the adoption of that instrument, no county, town, or city, shall subscribe stock or loan credit to any railroad company or other work of public improvement, unless such subscription of stock shall be assessed in the form of taxation, and the amount thereof so raised paid in cash at the time of subscribing the same. It is under stood that a similar provision has been adopted, to be engrafted upon the new constitution of Ohio. This will put a stop to the further issue of city and county bonds in Indiana and Ohio, and render their securities already issued and authorised more valuable. The prosperity of Canada has frequently of late been brought under notice, and considering the new era of competition, and the abolition of protection, this is most gratifying, as evidence both of innate strength and sterling resources. The proprietors of the Canada Company held their general meeting yesterday, and received a most favourable statement of the progress of their tenants. The company's operations are confined to the upper or western province, and the rapid acquisition of the freehold of the land taken by the hardy and in dustrious men who lease of the company, and who com menced with scarcely anything but their labour, proves a kindly system and a fair field. Ia the savings bank formed by the compa❑y for its own tenants exclusively, the deposits at the latest date exceeded 10,0001. The committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received a letter from their Venezuelan agent, dated La Guayra, Feb. 22, 1851, of which the following is an extract:— " My representation to Congress (urging them. to make arrangements for providing for the arrears of in= terest) was presented and read in the Chamber of Re presentatives on the Bth inst.; it was at once passed to the Committees of Finance and Foreign Affairs, for them jointly to report upon it. For the present the Finance Committee is occupied on the formation of a new law upon public credit that has been recommended by the Chamber as urgent, and to be considered preferably to every other matter before the Committee." The last week's Railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:- 1851. Great Western £13,204 North-Western 40,409 South-Western 7,969 Brighten Midland South-Eastern North Stafford 4,748 Caledonian 1850: £14;524 ... 40;659 ... 8,468 ... 7,694 „.„ 20,106 8,593 4,536 6,291 The English Stock Market has been heavy this morning.

Portuguese Four per Cents. are 341, and Pe ruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. are 85 to 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 58i. Mexican . Bonds are up to 33i These rates exhibit the un steadiness of the market, or rather the want of uni formity. Mexican are better, while Spanish are worse and so with others. In Railway Shares the settlement of the account is progressing, and the market is much agitated in conse quence. Enormous rates of " continuation" have been , paid, 30s. and 40s. per share having been asked, for in stance, upon Great Western, and when this was declined the "closing" price one moment was 87, and immedi- ately after 89i was asked to the same party as a buyer back. All Shares are lower, therefore, the decline being 11. to 21. on North-Western, about 11. on Midland, and proportionable amounts on the smaller lines. The Foreign Shares have been very quiet, and better than the English, a good many names having been given by par ties intending to invest. QUARTER TO TIMES.

He should be quite ready to accede to the course which his Lordship had marked out, and with regard to the second point of the petition, the removal of Dr. Doyle, he should certainly desire the matter to be heard in open court.

The claim was for 421. 17s. 1 Id. for duties paid on brandies supplied to the defendant. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default; it was therefore only necessary to prove the amount due. Mr. Hudson, a clerk in the plaintiffs' service, watt called, and proved that they cleared out brandies for defendant in November, 1850, the duties amounting to 421. 17s. I Id., on which sum plaintiffs claimed interest, the amount not having been paid at the end of the month. according to the custom of the trade. Witness pro" duced some letters, but had never seen the defendant write; he had acted upon the orders in the m. The plaintiffs' attorney put another letter in the hanne ds of the witness, who pronounced that a lso to be genui to the best of his belief. The plaintiffs' attorney said that it was only received this morning, and contained a remittance. ta The UNDER•SHERIFF said that was a very su bsta ntial proof, and asked what verdict was aske d for, as the in terest could not be claimed unless the cu stom was shown to have been within the defendant's knowledge. The plaintiffs' attorney said he must take a verdict for_ the whole amount, as the remittance was only in half notes, and it was not easy for the jury to divide their verdict. The jury then gave a verdict for the amount claimaent d, a nd interest from the date of a letter from defend offering to pay the same in consequence of not being ably to meet his engagement. This was the only case tried. The UNDER-SHERIFF said he could not keep the juror. in waiting, and struck the other causes out o f the Hit.

(Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.) lIHIS TALBOT'S CASE. In this petition, Doyle v. Wright, which stood until to-day from Saturday last, Mr. BOLT said, that in the affidavits which had been filed by the other side in this case since Saturday last, he perceived, that besides the prayer for general relief, an application was made to remove the present guardian, Dr. Doyle, from his office. There were, therefore, two distinct objects in the petition,—one to fix a future residence for the young lady, and the other re lating to the conduct of the present guardian during the time that he had occcupied that post. With reference to the latter object in the petition he should not be in a position to enter into any discussion before Saturday, because many matters had been introduced into the affidavits which had been filed of which he had no previous knowledge. He saw no reason, however, why an order should not be at once made on the first matter stated in the petition, relating to the future residence of the young lady, and in a mat ter of the kind he thought it would be desirable that his Lordship should at once proceed with it if he thought fit, without referring it to the Master, before whom the in quiry would of course be long and tedious, extraneous matters would be introduced into it, and a great part of the minority would have slipped away before any deeision was come to. He had already suggested one scheme, and would be ready to suggest another, either of which would be acceptable, he believed, to the young lady herself, and if the other side had any counter-scheme, he should propose that all should be considered together by his Lordship at as early a period as possible without reference to the Master. With re gard to the other part of the case, he had nothing what ever to ask, but that a very early day should be fixed for its discussion, and he should be perfectly ready on Saturday, if his Lordship thought fit to fix that day. All parties could but be actuated by ono single desire, that of promoting the happiness of the young lady herself. Mr. P. WooD differed entirely from his Learned Friend's assumption that the two objects of the petition were separate and distinct. The consideration as to whether Dr. Doyle had performed his duties as guar- dian to the young lady in a manner most likely to con duce to her happiness, would certainly have a considerable effect on the question of fixing a future residence for the young lady, because it would enable his Lordship to form an opinion as to which of the two parties, Mr. Berkeley or Dr. Doyle, he should be most inclined to give the preference in the disposal of any matters con nected with the young lady. He (Mr. Wood) conceived he should be prepared to show, as a ground, if not for the removal, at least for the suspension of Dr. Doyle from his functions, that ho had not exer cised his authority in a manner at all conducive to the happiness and welfare of the young lady herself; then ho apprehended his Lordship, or the Master, if it went to him, would bo in a much better condition to know what comparative regard he should pay to the respective schemes suggested by Dr. Doyle and Mr. Berkeley. If his Learned Friend (Mr, Bolt) were disposed to consent to one order being made upon both the two points of the petition, he should propose to refer it to the vacation Master to settle the scheme of residence, and in this way there was every chance of obtaining a report before the com mencement of next term, because in a case of this kind so nearly affecting a ward of the Court, of coarse every diligence would be used to come to a speedy decision; and with regard to the removal of Dr. Doyle, of course the discussion must take place in the usual manner. Ho did not think it would be desirable to trouble his Lordship with the selection of the residence of the young lady, because it was a question which would re quire a great deal of investigation, but of course if his Lordship chose voluntarily to undertake the task, the parties would feel under an obligation tO, him. He must, however, request that the question must not be limited simply to the fixing of the future residence of the young lady, but that point and the other, as to how Dr. Doyle, after all that had occurred, could be allowed to have the least share whatever, either in selecting a residence for the young lady during the rest of her minority, or in any single step which might affect her happiness or welfare, both these considerations he should submit must be discussed as one question. Mr. BOLT said ho was quite willing that such should be the arrangement, and that both should be discussed as one question. Dr. Doyle had nothing whatever to fear from that course. The only question was, whether the matter should be discussed before his Lordship or the Master, and upon that he would observe, t h a t of course no one for a momen t cou ld d ou bt but that in de ciding the strictest def erence wou ld be paid to the feel ings of the young lady h erse lf, an d if this inquiry went h he before the Master it wou ld occu py , some tia n, n a o s that young lady's feelings be v i o l a ted during te:Trosen Lordship period, he felt justified in pressing u whole case together on an early Lordship course, s ree his Lord Mil) :ynsatnaak the to .c to dispose of this case at once himselfp, and to take course, whether it were disposed Of be o r p y or a Master, the question of publication ria remain just the same, because it would e whateverc uhl he vc the di w s o re. tion of whoever was the judg e to bear in and thought best.

Miss Talbot would, therefore, arrive in town on Monday, and bo received into the charge of this lady, whose name he would hand down to th bar. It would be desirable to depart as little as possible from the general course of proceeding in these cases without some strong reason being assigned; and therefore he thought it would be better to go before the Master with tho Fchense for future residence. - Ile himself would have suggested an arrangement on the sub ject, but perhaps both parties would feel greater difficulty in objecting to it than if it came be fore them in the regular way; he should, therefore, re- 22 0 21 19 1 .---. 433 ANALYSIS OF THE DIVISIO: Stanleyites ...

It was a minority made up of Roman Catholic representatives of the Pope, of Puseyites, of Unita rians, of men of no religion, and of the Manches ter school of politicians. Among the leading Trac tarians, we find the names of Sir James Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Mr. George Smythe, Mr. Hope, and Mr. Roun del ' Palmer. Among those who, speaking of them as we find them in the House of Commons, are remarkable for their libe rally on religious matters, are Mr. Joseph Hume, Mr. W. J. Fox, and Mr. Feargus O'Connor. The more pro minent names among the Manchester class of politicians are, those of Mr. Cobden, Mr. Bright, Mr. Milner Gib son, and Sir Joshua Walmsley. Adversity, says the proverb, maws us acquainted with strange bedfellows. It would be invidious to mention names, but when the miscellaneous assemblage, constituting the minority, ings in the lobby, there must have arisen in many a heat emotions of self-reproach at the awkward associatioa which then. took place. The extremes of bigotry Bra latitudinarianism were amply represented in that mo o ' rity.—Morning Advertiser. H. BAILLIE. (BEING A NEW SONG TO AN OLD TUNE) (From Punch.)
