It was notorious that, for the time, the official Whigs represented that party in the House which most nearly resembled the working majority of former days. But the casual resemblance of a narrowly-matched division and an incidental defeat to the great party struggles of the past, served as as ex cuse tor advertising the necessity of the actual Ministry to the country, by successive displays of the compara tive weakness of all available rivals. It was hoped that wavering adherents would be united by a semblance of a defeat, a rally, and a recovery of office. In case of failure in the prospect of an immediate return to power, the same object might, it was imagined, be still more effectually secured by cementing in Opposition the.ties which had been loosened by the official indisposition of a safe-seated Ministry to concur in the policy of their more eager followers. The experiment has failed, not from want of ingenuity in its contrivers, but because they misapprehended the circumstances with which they had to deal. The impossibility of stepping twice into the same current has been a proverb ' from the days of Htraclitus, and it is a mistake to identify the present condition of politics even with experiences so recent as the time of Lord Melbourne. Lord John Russell returns, as he anticipated, to office— but without an additional resource, and without a diffi culty the less. The impassive and intangible Opposi tion has become less definite and palpable than before, from the inconvenient proof which it has afforded that at present it cannot form a Government. The Ministry is still protected by independent friends, who will, as they have hitherto done, take the liberty of resisting its er rors; and the absence of direct hostilities will only weaken still further the allegiance of wavering and dissatisfied supporters. A Ministry of transition is a modern Freach invention; and it will not succeed in England.

All sections df the House are ready to give a fair trial to a Government placed in so peculiar a position; bat none will take its measures on trust. A judicious Budget, and a well-con trived series of law reforms, including a measure re specting the Court of Chancery, might go far to oblite rate the memory of recent blumders and failures. HERALD.—We may well leave the rival manifestoes of Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham to produce their natural effect upon the public mind. They will not fail to do their work throughout the country. It is now ascertained beyond a doubt that the followers of the late Sir Robert Peel are committed to a Puseyite policy and to every unhappy measure which such policy involves, whilst the adherents of Lord Stanley are ready, for the sake of the Throne and the institutions of the land, to make every personal and party sacrifice consistently with the maintenance of convictions under the influence of which they have pursued their opposition to her Ma jesty's Government from the year 1846 until the present hour. It is in no spirit of triumph or party rejoicing that we receive from the lips of Lord Aberdeen and his friends the melancholy announcement, that, happen what may, they will be no parties to the vindication of the Protestant character of the country; that they will take no steps to put an end to treachery, however flagrant, within the Church, and to aggression, how ever insolent and unjustifiable, from Rome. The confession, coming from public men in whose hands the destinies of the empire have already been, and who still prefer their claim to office, is sufficiently dis astrous. But the other day and the union between Conseriatism and Protestantism was complete. What ever the difference of opinion respecting the propriety of tolerating the professors of a creed that glories in nothing so much as its own intolerance, with respect to the one vital point, of upholding the Protestant rights of the people and of securing the foundations upon which the Throne itself is based, unity of sentiment was per fect. We have waited until this moment to learn the full extent of the disruption of 1846. Had every fol lower of Sir Robert Peel without exception consented five years ago to the commercial legislation against which they conscientiously protested, it would have been impossible to continue the connexion now. The terms of union between the two sections demand a renunciation of principle and an acquiescence in a policy from which Liberals themselves recoil in fear and trembling. The disciples of Sir Robert Peel, revelling in apostacy, refuse to co-operate with Lord John Russell, because the liberal notions of the Whig Prime Minister do not degenerate into licence. Lord John, with all his Whiggism, would still vindicate the national faith. Sir James Graham repudiates any religious supremacy whatsoever. The former, tolerant enough in all conscience, would stand between the Queen and a foreign priest, daring enough to usurp her sacred rights: the latter knows no such rights, and discerns no reason for Ministerial interpo sition. A Government might have been formed a week ago—the Queen need not have been left one day in the anxiety of her unparsllelcd position, bad the lieeraliim of Sir James Graham been less wanton—had his en mity for Protestant institutions been less vehement and decided. Let the people of England take cognizance of the fact. If there is to be fusion of parties, the fusion must be at the expense of the nation's faith. If we are to have the great advantage of Sir James Graham's public services, it must be at the sacrifice of all that Lord John Russell has told us to be essential to the nation's independence and the people's safety. We know the price of the Peelite faction. Are we ready to pay it? Are we ready to take the first great step in the downward path that leads inevitably to moral, social, end spiritual destruction? Let us not blind our eyes to the fearful peril that surrounds us. Once con fess that we have neither power nor inclination to op pose the designs of Rome—designs that know no limit, and take no account of difficulty or obstacle—that what ever may be the amount of the Pope's demands, and the extent of popular resistance, yet no hand shall be put forward by the Executive to check the advance of the insolent intruder, and who shall define the bounds of this country's great humiliation? With free hands, God knows it is difficult enough to preserve spiritual liberty in the presencaof an institution which acknow ledges no obligations that clash with the advancement of its prime objects. Let our bands be fettered by our rulers, who, in loyalty and duty, should rather arm and strengthen them, and the glorious privileges of intel lect and soul, which it took ages to secure, and the blood of the best men to hallow, are gone from that hour. What shall save the country from the curse of priestcraft when its governors proclaim the dismal fact, that, against the insidious attempts of even a foreign and an inimical priest, England has no remedy and can demand no protection? Are we, with respect to our own ecclesiastical governors, in so satisfactory a state that such a statement can be put forth with safety? Is it not evident that it but requires legislative sanction to so fearful an announcement in order to stimulate once more into disastrous action the avowed enemies of Pro testantism, who wait within the pale of the Church, eat ing of her substance and partaking of her blessings, only the more effectually to betray her into the hands of that very power which Sir James Graham and his friends are sworn to defend in its most glaring and unwarrant able attacks against the liberty of the people and the rights of the Crown? Can we invest the Pope of Rome with authority and influence over British subjects, and deny the same prerogatives to our own parish priests? Can we abet Popery and disavow Puseyism? Dare we sanction the audacious intrusion of Dr. Wiseman and put limits to the priestly domination of Mr. Bennett? The thing is impossible. Because it is impossible the scandalous attempt to put down the Protestant feeling of the nation is made by the Puseyite faction. The greater crime includes the lesser; the patronage of Pope Pius involves toleration and approval of innova tion at home and at our own doors. With this fact before their eyes, let Englishmen accept the services of Sir James Graham and his abettors if they will. They will perpetrate the folly, at least, without reason for com plaint. Nothing can be plainer than the manisesto of the Peelites. Whether they accept office as a party, or in conjunction with the Whigs, they are for the Pope abroad and for Puseyites at home. They condemn the letter of Lord John Russell in all its parts. They will , bring Rome hither, and they will carry us to Rome. Protestantism, the sanctifying principle of their fathers, is to them a fable. When Sir James Graham proposed the Maynooth grant, he tells us that he looked forward to this moment, and he rejoices that it has finally ar rived. The case for the nation to settle is not a difficult one. Protestants of every church and sect will do well to consider it whilst there is yet time. Aware of the universal danger, we should take shame to ourselves if we permitted considerations of a political character to militate against the duty incumbent atitthe a juncture upon every Protestant in the empir entreat our fellow-subjects, whatever may be theira strug litical prepossessions, to forget them "w' whe n liberties gle becomes inevitable for the reservation of _ y b this dearer to us far than our lives. Popish aggression, if not to take What us e ° when the souls of the gloom and degradation of a . in the hands of a priest men were mere objects of trafficeiir niecommore back to hood careful for nothing own supremacy, and the annihilation of intellectua l shindependence? We be lieve and hope that during p nations strong and fortunate t wi ll t be made to do violence to events?, no rash attemp t what we know to be Peelites may be to serve convictions. • federates, they are far too discreet to their Puseyite con upon their Eager as th t e he n desperate undertaking until the v-se,nnsteurvef the whole country is taken upon the point. Let there be no mistake when the hour for collecti ng t h e nation's suffrag6s shall come. There may be doubts and difficulties surroundieg questions of mere commer cial and political import. Upon the question of pre serving our national faith inviolate, Protestant men can not entertain two opinions. We may love toleration, and yet cherish our own spiritual freedom. Even Free traders may net be anxicus to secure the favour of a free-trade Government by the renunciation of their Pro testant institutions. Let the point by all means be as certained with all convenient speed. Lord Stanley has wisely declined that if the next Parliament shall decide against the financial and commercial policy which be now holds to be essential to the well-being of the country, he will at once acquiesce in its verdict, and protest no longer against the measures of his political foes. If a general election shall also pronounce in favour of Sir James Graham—Popery and Puseyism—we shall be the last to murmur egainet the verdict, however much we N°.18,236.] LONDON, WEDNESDAY .., 7 MARCH 5 , 1851.

(Incorporated ander 7 and 8 Viet., cap. ne.) The leading principles of this Office ar3—Moderate and equitable Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual. division of Profits. Tke difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of gam than calculation. It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the amount of annual Premiums received by each. It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium far Fire Insurance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as security against less for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to tine, adopt such rates of Premium as• the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. With this view an annual investigation will be made into each class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have been in force for three years. Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon every description of Property on moderate terms. Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

None are genuine without Mechi'► name, which imitators dare not put on the spurious strop; yet, strange to say, many perfumers call ing themselves respectable, endeavour to palm this rubbish (they cost from 3d. to sd. each in Sheffield) on the public as Mechi's genuine str , p, although they possess no sharpening properties whatever, but the very reverse. The well-known Magic Paste is an invaluable auxi liary to the Strop, and its renovating properties are truly astonish ing.

A NEW and very curious invention connected with Dental Surgery has been introduced by Mr. HOWARD, of 17, George-street, Hanover-square ; it is the production of an entirely NEW DESCRIP TION OF ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfrctly resemb:e natural teeth, as not to be distinguished from the originals by the closest observer. They will never change colour or decay, and will be found very superior to any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex traction of any Teeth or Roots, or any painful operation, and will support and preserve the Teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastication. The invention is of importance to many persons, and those ,who are interested in it should avail themselves of Mr. Howard's NEW DISCOVERY. HALLWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL. banal 4.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—The Ministerial alternative is very simple but very strange. The Whig Cabinet will be either im becile or despotic—imbecile if it receives no increase of support, despotic if it is mantained at all hazards, in sheer despair of successors. Lord John gave a faint foreshadow of this predicament last session, when, on the quetstion of the African blockade, he peremptorily commanded the votes of his party under threat of im mediate resignation. But if the menace was so effectual when the contingent disorder of the State was only pre sumptive, what would it be after the experience of the lasttwelve days? Assuming that politicians of all parties acknowledge the absolute necessity of carrying on the Queen's Government, what is to be the limit of Lord John's authority while it is notorious that none but he can be found to carry it on? On the other hand, if these conditions of his official existence procure him no extra. ordinary consideration, he musteither relapse into weekly minorities or he must abstain from introducing any mea sures likely to create a debate or incur a division. And all this because Parliament is deprived of a constitutional Opposition. The theory of our government presumes that the successors of a Minister shall be supplied ipso facto by the conditions of his defeat. The party by which he is outnumbered proves itself to be the more legitimate representative of national opinion, and an exchange of characters terminates an act of the po litical drama. In past times these two parties were Whig and Tory, and their respective proceedings, in so far as they extend beyond a repartition of the sweets of office, could be easily anticipated. At present there are no Tories, and, in some sense, it would be quite as well if there wero no Whigs. There are signs, indeed, abroad which almost suggest a doubt whether the antagonist principles which have animated English parties for two centuries, add which have been traced even to the mar casting their ancient skin for some new complexion. No party can now disclaim resolutions of progress; the question is scarcely one of route—only of speed. Yet it is in the full blaze of this truth that the Protec tionists abdicate their political functions for theisake of what can hardly be termed a principle, for what more nearly resembles a pri v il ege , b ut which is at any rate absolutely exploded and gone. They speculate on a signal stroke at the next election, apparently reckoning that the people who fought successfully for a theory will surrender a fact; that they who wrested cheap bread from the hands of their opponents will now, after four years' experience of the blesiing, permit it to be taken out of their mouths. Omitting, however, these anticipa tions, have they no eyes for what has just been demon strated in broad daylight? Something has been shown beyond the impossibility of a Protectionist Cabinet. The points on which Sir James Graham and his friends dif fered from Lord John Russell are explicitly stated to have no bearing whatever on the question of free trade. No single person to whom Lord Stanley applied would give his assent or sanction even to that morsel of sham protection by which his Lordship sought to save conscience and credit together. However disguised, transformed, or diluted, they would have none of it. Of the qualifications of his own clients for State concerns the Noble Lord has himself given a description; and if to these data we add those unmistakeable convictions which gleam through the speeches of the two chiett; themselves, and which have already evoked the suspicious resentments of their fol lowers, we shall arrive at the incontestable, conclusion that there exists not in the kingdom one single indivi dual of political knowledge or experience who consi ders protection recoverable at the expense of free trade —not one man with common competence for office who does not repudiate the desires for which a great party has already sacrificed itself, and is prepared to sacrifice more. But, though we hold that on the great question of free trade, aed indeed on others to, there is no longer room for two opinions among those pretending to the government of this country, it requires no arguments of ours to show that in matters of general policy an infinite sphere is opened to competition and rivalry. Under such circumstances as have been now disclosed, it would have been justifiable even for political dissentients to have kept terms with a Cabinet for which no sue oesior could be discovered. We own, however. to more positive sympathies than these. We gave Lord John Russell's Government our independent support, because we conceived that on many important points it was deserving well of the country. We acknowledge, too, that as far as party symbols admit 'of translation into that language to which alone the nation will now listen, there is more to approve in the Whigs than in the Conservatives, though this—to such anomalies have we come!—is a point on which independent Liberals are by no means agreed. But how many subjects are there on a hich, but for this deadly and stupifying dogma of " protection," a Parliamentary Opposition well led and well instructed might have recently built up a reputa tion! Above all, there is that crying sin of party bigotry of which our present Premier gives such an un disguised example. Lord John is enveloped in his " party;" nay, he glories in the fact, and proclaims his adherence to " traditions of government" at every crisis of his fortunes. But what are " traditions of government?" They are broad rules of policy which in difficulties or temptations of State may suggest a true course, and which varied with contending parties accord ing to the principles they inherited. It was a Tory tra dition that monarchical right was divine; it was a Whig tradition that such right flawed from the people. It was a Tory tradition to look to France; it was a Whig tradi tion to look to Holland. These maxims did good in their day, but the age has outgrown them. They are of no more avail than the secret receipts by which chymis try was handed from adept to novice or than the myste ries which passed from masters to apprentices in the guilds of trade. On these points Lord John's constitu ents are now just as wise as himself. As far as " traditions of Government" mean certain Whig observances, the sooner they are forgotten the better; as far as they imply broad principles of legislation, they are known to every elector in the kingdom. Education has here placed the scot and lot voter on a level with the Mi nister of State. It is a " tradition of Government" that the Pope shall have no authority in this realm of Eng• land, and Lord John correctly enunciated the maxim. But this everybody else knew too, and what they wanted was a statesman to put the maxim judiciously in force. It is a tradition of driving that you take the left hand when you meet and the right when you pass, but a man whose reliance was confined to this tradition would hardly find his way to Epsom. We cannot, unhappily, dispense with " parties," and with this conviction we must recognize the claims of partisans. But the more effectually this disagreeable element of constitutional Government" can be repressed the better will it be both for Ministers and people. It was not by " traditions cf government that yeel won his enonaments and his re nown. His . greatest and most: enduring achieve ment utterly dislocated a " party." If statesmen will look not only to traditions, but to the age and its exigencies, they will never want supporters, nor shall we risk any recur rence of the present perplexities when once an honest rivalry has been established in Parliament on the com mon principles of rational progress and public good. CHRONICLE.—A meeting of considerably less than two hundred of the former supporters of the Govern ment, divided within itself by the determined resistance of a large number of Members to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, can scarcely have been reassuring to a Pre mier tottering in his seat. The temporary success of a similar manoeuvre last year, in securing the maintenance of the slave squadron, may, perhaps, have inspired Lord John Russell with a confidence in the influence of an ap peal to his adherents, which has not been justified by the result. Thero can be no doubt that he concurs in the desire which his few but faithful advocates have re peatedly expressed for the reconstitution of a thorough going Opposition —or, as an alternative, for the discon tinuance of all hostile criticism and independent political action. It is no small convenience to a Minister to know that every measure which he proposes will be censured by a minority sufficiently considerable to secure him the support, right or wrong, of a still more trustworthy ma jority. The fatal moment when the balance of numbers may turn is seen with only occasional and remote alarm: and in the meantime the daily conflict presents a source of constant excitement, secured against excess by the comfortable certainty that the result will be an inevitable victory. With a small Ministe rial majority, every division turns more on the question of men than on that of mea sures; and a politician brought up in exclusive devotion to his party finds it a labour of love to concentrate his energies on the duty of keeping his friends and himself in office. Lord John Russell has had long experience in such contests, and in the midst of the security afforded by the absence of rivalry he must often have regretted the days when a Prime Minister had always a leader of Opposition to meet. The recent condition of the House of Commons, with its independent sections of voters, subdivided even among themselves in their opinions on particular questions, undoubtedly involves disadvantages. On the other hand, a vigorous and efficient Minister would find his account in the floating and unpledged character of the majority through which he must carry his policy into operation. Large end popular schemes, recommended by a prudent forethought, and enforced by a determined will, would produce union among those who are open to reason, and in that largo por tion which naturally inclines to the strongest. The late resignation was prompted by the un easiness of a position which could only have been unde sirable to a Minister who had no definite policy to fol low. In the last four years there has been time to effect many reforms which would have met the general wishes of the country; and the Parliamentary support which the Government could have commanded would have been o more than sufficient to achieve them. But as none f rn.. these had been attained or attempted, the House of Co mons became daily more untaanage"" Dis of some of the R o man Catholic Members w ti th on, and r. the raeli, the majority on Mr. Locke King'sins°trong m impending r e j ec tion of the Budget, were intima tions that the House considered the m erits of the Minis ters for thehort comings of their policy. no lon ger su ff i cient Lto°rdeoJroahPuesate Russell, in accord ance with the traditions of his school, either misunder stood the nature a t h e warning, or at leas. , aff-c,cd to misunderstand it.

MALTA, FEB. 25.—W0 have no naval movements whatever to report beyond the arrival and departure of mail steamers. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, however, ever alive to the necessity of keeping all hands in exercise during the monotony of a stay in port, is continually bitting upon happy expedients so to do. Last week an alarm of fire on board the flag-ship was given to ace how quickly assistance would be rendered, and lo and behold engines were playing upon the supposed ship on fire as if by magic. On the 24th "Shift top-masts" was unexpectedly displayed at 9 sac, from the mast-head of the Queen, when the same was effected in the following order:— The time noted is from the moment the signal was made, until the topgallantmasts were up again and fidded; topgallant and royal yards were not crossed, as is cus tomary, at eight on that morning. The Albion's main topmast was at least twenty minutes delayed from the carrying away of the hawser, and something similar occurred as regards the foretopmast of the Ganges, but we have heard of no personal injury of any consequence.

There is a tradition in Edinburgh that some centuries ago a bag-piper entered a subterranean passage at or near the Castle, intending to proceed underground down through the centre of the old city to the palace at Holyrood House. It is said, also, that ho was a distinguished Highland chief, and that he under took to play the pipes during the time of his progress. He entered, according to the story, on his perilous and singular adventure, but having never again made his appearance, imagination, ever attendant on the supernatural, gave forth that the mysterious piper was still on his underground jour ney, and that often, at the " sins' short hour ayont the twal," his pibroch might be heard in the quiet courts and closes of the Hi g h-street and Casongate, i n plaintive and melancholy strains, asif it were bewailing a long exile train the beloved hills of his northern nati vity. For some time back, numerous workmen have been employed in excavating and building a spacious reservoir at the Esplanade, for the better supply of the inhabitants of Edinburgh with water; and on Saturday morning last, while the workmen were engaged in level ling the east end of the Esplanade at the Castle, the earth suddenly gave way, and presented to their view a large cave or passage. Two of them entered with a candle, but, from a superstitious fear, probably, were deterred from proceeding and exploring it thoroughly. A gentle man, however, named Mr. James Sinclair (Unicorn Pursuivant to the Scottish College of Arms), who hap pens to have property in the vicinity, having heard of the circumstance, took a mason, named Bruce, along with him, during the time the workmen were at din ner, and determined to explore this singular cavern. Although several cart loads of stone and earth had been thrown in, the two men managed to get access into the chamber or passage, when Bruce, the mason, discovers, as he sty les it, " a cave dug by no mortal hand;" and in which, to their astonish ment, were found a quantity of human bones, a coat of mail, and the drone at a pipe! Whether these relics are any part of the Highlander, and of his costume and instrument, who form the subject of the tradition, it is not easy of course to determine, but it certainly gives room for very plausible conjecture, and throws an air of truth on the olt4 story. A certificate, narrating the cir cumstances of the discovery, together with the relics, is to be laid before the Royal Society of Antiquaries. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COVENTRY RACES AND STEEPLECHASES.

MONSTER CORN STORES FOIL OTTINGHAM.— The agriculturists of this and the adjoining counties who attend the markets at N ottin g h am, have been su bj e ct t o great inconvenience, trouble , an d expense, thro ug h no t find ing s convenient until suiwarehousessuitable purchasers might be wherein to place the p found for it at a fair marke t p rice, and, conseq uen tly. many farmers have been driven to sell a t less than th e ru li ng p r i ce rod p u r c o e pe o r f an th d eirfarm for want of such store• rooms to place their corn in until the next or some future market day. The Midland Railway Company, seeing the necessity for a building of sufficient magnitude, have, therefore, resolved to build a warehouse large enough to contain 14,000 quarters of corn. They ad vertised for a builder to erect a _ war ehouse of eight stor e y s high, with room underneath to allo w laden waggons to enter under cover with their freight, and Mr. George Thompson, the respectable builder, of Derby, has obtained the contract to carry up such warehouses, 110 feet in length, by 75 feet in width, the foundations to be formed of stone and concrete, the walls of brick, &c. The buildings are now in progress, to be finished by July next, when one of the largest corn stores in the north will be found standing on the ground be longing and contiguous to the Nottingham railway station. Nearly 11 millions of bricks, besides other building mate rials, will be consumed in the erection and finish of these great corn stores. The farmers will, by this gigantic enter prise of the railway company, have a greater chance of selling without submitting to a reduction in price, or running the risk of disposing of their grain to a needy or doubtful buyer. Instead of offering by sample, the bulk will be at hand; the bargain struck will enable many a needy man to take home with him the money, instead of waiting two, three, four, or even more weeks before he i s paid; in fact, ere long, Not tingham sample and credit corn market will become a pitch and cash one. —Derby Mercury. A BULL TERRIER ROASTED IN THE ASII.PAN OF A LOCOMOTIVE.—On Wednesday evening last, as the mail train was passing that portion of the Eastern Union line near Ipswich which divides Lady Harland's grounds, known as the " Wherstead Cutting," the driver became aware, by the unmistakeable evidence of his olfactory organs, that some thing much more savoury than coke was being con sumed by the fire of his engine ; and knowing that hares are frequently cooked in a similar manner, be yielded to the fond anticipation of a game supper at the end of his journey. On arriving at the terminus, however, great was his surpri.,e, equalled only by disappointment, on discovering that the self-immolated victim was not a hare, but a large dog of the bull terrier breed, which, having strayed on the line, and doubtless attracted by the glare of the fire in the ash-pan of the engine, had heedlessly rushed on its destruc tion, the poo r an i m al being completely roasted.—lpswich Exprefa. :8 OF YOUTH ! • located in Rome, who is wade to move in whatever way seems best to the person in Golden-square who draws the wires. Who is the puppet ? Who is the party by whom that puppet is moved ? The Pope is the former. Dr. Wiseinaa is the latter. What are the Pope and Dr. Wiseman ? What is the Roman Pontiff? A man intellectually imbecile—a person who cannot be said. to be in his second childhood, because he never emerged from his first. Pio Nono, it will be remem bered, escaped from his palace in Rome, when his life was in peril from those who know not what it is to re spect the persons of Popes, by assuming the character, and donning the habiliments of one of his own lacqueys. His costume would have been much more in keeping with his t eal character, had he attired himself in the apparel of an aged person of the opposite sex. He would then have looked what be is, an old woman. And yet this drivelling, senile :individual, who is contemned by those who are conventionally called his subjnets—this Pius the Ninth, who is kept on his throne by the bayonets of the Freneh —this poor halt-witted person—this apology for a Pore —this abortion of a Roman Pontiff—can be made the means, through the craft and cunning, the ambition and arrogance, of a Spanish price, naturalised in this coun try, of upsetting one Ministry, and preventing the for mation of another. He is found to be a fitting instru ment for suspendiog the sittings of the British Parlia ment, interrupting the business of this great country, causing infinite mortification and profound anxiety to the Sovereign, and setting at nought that extraordinary exhibition of sound Protestant feeling which lately filled Europe with amazement. Such are the two men who have created all the confusion which we have lately wit nessed in this country, and from the effects of which we have not recovered. Is it not humiliating in the extreme, that a country like ours should thus by accidental circumstances be placed within the power of two such men? The strings are pulled in London, and the puppet in Rome faithfully responds to the wishes of the party performing the operation. Dr. Wiseman sits in his house in Golden-square, and can at will set the Vatican in motion. He can do more than albite referred to by Shakspere, who could call spirits from the vasty deep,._ but could not make them come. Dr. Wiseman has only to wish or will that •fk cerWn thirgehttli be done in Rome, and it will b e -d one forth-- with, <i -Dr. Wiseman is himself paaotioallrihe Pope, as twriflenatimOgrack '2 3 is - vizer° t .121 44ried . to _ that appertains to England. 'And yet though Dr. Wise-- man, operating through the Pope at Rothe, has already, caused infinite confusion in this country, there is an un-. conquerable indisposition, on the part of many of our most influential statesmen, to adopt the only effectual means which exist, of chastising the arrogance and checking the audacity of this Popish priest: Others undertake to deal with him as the circumstances require, but afterwards shrink from the task. Lord Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, and others of the Peel party, belong to the former category. Lord John Russell and his Whig colleagues in the Cabinet, are to be classed among the latter. The Whig Government are obviously backing out of the solemn engagements they have made, in the face of Par liament and the public, to put down the Papal preten sions, and to punish the Popish priest by whom they were instigated. The measure which Lord John Russell introduced a few weeks ago into the House of Commons was notoriously inadequate to the exigen cies of the case. That we said, when we first were in formed of its provisions, and the entire country re-echoed the opinion w• then expressed. But inadequate as it confessedly is, the Noble Lord is now about to withdraw the few good provisions which the measure contains. It is to be rendered so mild and moderate in England, as to be almost inoperative, while Ireland is to escape altogether. The world may well stand aghast, as if incredulous of the fact, when it finds that Lord John Russell is the man who is acting thus—thus grossly be traying the interests of that Protestant religion of which, in his memorable letter to the Bishop of Durham, he came forth, purely of his own accord, as the champion. Nor is the betrayal of Protestantism, so far as the Prime Minister can betray it, the only unfortunate circumstance in connexion with this matter. Lord .John Russell has offered an unwarrantable and gratui tous outrage to the principles and sensibilities of the Protestant people of the land. His notable letter to the Bishop of Durham was regarded by them as an appeal to the country to rally round the Protestant standard, which the Prime Minister then erected. Most nobly did they respond to the appeal. Promptly, energetically, and universally did they rush, as they hoped and be lieved, to the rescue of the Protestantism of the land. Never in the history of any country was so imposing a moral spectacle presented, as that which England ex hibited a few months ago, when a people rose up, in their might, as one man, to express their unmeasured indignation at the insult.to the Sovereign, and the out rage on the religion of these realms, hich had been offered by the Pope, by the publication of his notable rescript. Lord John Russell has, in effect, concurred with Dr. Wiseman in treating the demonstration of Protestant feeling then made as if had been an idle unmeaning outburst—a manifestation to be treated with utter disregard, if not to be laughed at as a piece of enthusiastic folly. The Noble Lord seems to forget, that if this display of Protestantism was weakness, if not folly, no man 'figured more prominently than himself in making it. He was the firs: to move in the matter. Ile took the initiative. He set the examp'e. Let him, then, at least, remember this—that in treating with disrespect the recent ebulli tion of sound Protestant feeling, be is pronouncing a severe censure on himself. But the Whig Premier will find that ho is doing something more, by ignoring the manifestations of Protestant feeling which we have lately witnessed, than censuring himself. He will, before long, discover, that he has 4. tieetually laid the axe at the root of whatever little prestige still attaches to his character as a Minister of the Crown. He will sink beneath the load of popular displeasure which his infidelity to the great Protestant principles which he enunciated in his letter to the Bishop of Durham, and to wh' .;h the country, 'since the publieation of that document, have given so striking a proof of its adherence, will draw down upon him. What is he at this moment? What is his Minis try at this hour? He possesses no moral weight—it has no prestige. He is but a provisional Premier—it is but a transition Cabinet. The country pants for a Prime Minister of high principle; it longs for a Ministry of elevated character. It will have both, and it will have them soon. The present state of matters can only be of short duration. We have elsewhere shown that the return of the Whig Ministry to power is anything but satisfactory to the country, and certainly is not calculated to raise modern statesmen in public estimation. But there is one mem ber of the Administration which was, and again is in ex istence, whose reinstatement in office has caused some thing more tha❑ surprise. It is difficult to say whether we ought to feel most amazement, mingled with another emotion, at the conduct of Lord John Russell in inviting Sir Charles Wood to return to the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, or at the conduct cf the Right Honourable Gentleman in accepting the invitation. It is, en the part of both, an act of flagrant indecorum. Respect for public opinion ought to have prevented so great a scan dal, as a Minister resuming the functions of an office for Ivhich he had, amid the jeers and scorn of the entire community, proved himself, by his late Budget, to be wholly incompetent. And to aggravate the matter, the Right Hon. Gentleman returns to Downing-street withia little more than a fortnight of the promulgation of a financial scheme which has been received with shouts of derision in all parts of the land, and which had not, even in the House of Commons, where private friendship will induce persons to go great lengths, one single voice raised in its favour. We entirely concur with The Sun, when our contemporary says--" We have, in common with the great body of the people of all classes and parties, viewed with regret and disgust the resumption of office by Sir Charles Wood. At first sight it appears like a deliberate insult to the community, to restore that most unfortunate and incom petent financier to a situation of such importance. It seems as if the voice of public opinion were alighted and despised, and that Lord John Russell had obstinately determined to force that bitter dose, ' THE PRECIOUS BUDGET,' on the afflicted and indignant nation. But the point happily admits of another and more satisfactory solution, ann until we hear the ex to give hint sub ject of the' financial scheme,' on maintained an unbroken silence, i_ ',' It really looks as if the ' the benefit of the doubt. fishingall sides interrogatories the House, we that t a hb: werelGovernment boe s v ci d ed d ri l s r r p e m e s o g s es e en d at.
