TIRE STIN, TO THE EDITOR OF THE S UN. you have the goodness to insert the enclosed extract from a recent letter to an M.P. for one of the most important constituencies in the kingdom ? The letter speaks fJr itself; no opportunity should be lost of impressing these views upon Ministers and the public. The country stands indebted to you for your fearless advocacy of measures necessary to the salvation of the country.—l am, Sir, yours, &c. HONESTAS. April 23, 1850. EXTRACT. "As respects the trade of this port, I never remember its being in a more unpromising state," a leading Libe ral and Free-trader, and one of our most considerable merchant importers, a man very cautious in saying any thing that could reflect on recent measures, observed in my bearing a week ago; " there is no one article on which a capitalist can lay his finger that will pay for im porting." With respect to the navigation-law repeal. he observed, " Ministers ought first to have taken oil the timber duties, and the other burdens on shipping; and also the taxes on all articles consumed by seamen and their families." These remarks were wrung from the party in question by the exigency of the facts al touching his trade and pocket. I considered them on every account notable, as coming from a man most un willing to say anything deprecatory in any way of the policy of his party. There is a growing impression through the country, among men of business, that Ministers are on the wroi4 tack. Free-traders, to be true to their principles, sr. compelled to fling Ministers overboard. For my part, I shall cot part with approved principles out of respect t, Ministers; lam a Free-trader. Ministers are putting free trade under crucifixion; they are determined, it seems, to maintain the burdens on industry; their policy is a mass of contradictions. Sir James Graham showed (what everybody else knows) that the major half of the entire revenue is exacted from industry and production. It requires no wire-drawn argument to demonstrate the folly of this; it is palpably the story of the goose anc the golden eggs. A ridiculous and sophistical attempt is made in the Economist, of the 2d inst., to support the views taken in a childish pamphlet, by Mr. Norman, or, the relative taxation of this and other countries, re ceetly out. Neither the pamphlet nor the review in support of it touch the question. The clamour against the distribution of taxation, and the share of it allover to industry, cannot, be tried down by the declamation of political ecollomists, whose principles are of a late date. however old - they may be. I take in the Economist, bu am astonished at its casual nonsense. The topic, how ever, is of the first importanne; the difficulties of the country must be solved upon this topic. Free trade anti burdens on industry cannot co-exist; an election must be made. Ministers, like the intending Bishop, choose " both;" they must go down. The country will have free trade; Ministers have given it by initiation, am cannot be allowed to destroy their own child. I am sorry to see men of local influence, here and there, hitherto ranked as staunch Liberals, going over to the Protectionists. They do not see their way out uf the existing and prospective depression. The depression of the moment is of less consequence; it is the pro speetive appearance. Ministers deny that prospects art bad; these people use their own eyes, and see nothing to hope in the future; unwilling to enter on economical in quiry, they denounce the proximate cause, free trade, and go over to the Protectionists. This is a daily occur rence; our late mayor is one of the number. It requires a hero to deal with the question of taxation, overlaid as it is with the public debt, and people will not be heroic. Ministers have placed the country in a predicament be a c( ntre-temps, and seem to have made up their minds to leave us in the lurch; they have given us one-half of a great measure which is fatal without the other. The country is awakening to the position, and will carry out the policy which Ministers seem determined to vacate. I do not find Mr. Cobden's precise views much in favour. The reduction of expenditure is not so much what is wanted; distribution of taxation, not amount, is the mater evil. Industry, protected or unprotected, canna afford the sums it is mulcted in. Property can, it required. But how is either industry or property advantaged by discharging several thousands of subor dinates, civil and military, the majority of whom must he thrown instanter upon the labour market, already greatly overstocked, and by the labour market upon the public purse? This is the question asked among plain people, " We are now supporting the said thousands in a particular industry (civil or military, it matters not). receiving in return a certain quid pro quo, is not this better than placing them in the lamentable category of the distressed, and so admitting them by a legal neces sity to a charge on the public purse without a return of any kind?" I beg to say, that from all I can gather here and elsewhere, these dismissals from the army, navy, and dockyards (that is from the Government in dustries) are excessively distateful to people of all poli tical colours; the question put is, " Cut bono?" It is remarkable the coolness with which Ministers announce reduction of force in the dockyards and the army, the effect of which is starvation, while the real burdens they do not put a finger to; the same holds of the dismissal of civil employees at small salaries. The country will derive no immediate benefit. This division of labour is as much oppressed as the other. The fact is, topical treatment of this kind will not do. If we are to have free trade we must have simultaneously an entire revi sion of taxation; every interest demands it, not this or that interest, but the whole industry of the kingdom; we shall be swamped by foreign competition without it-- as a Free-trader I say it. The country labours under a grand anomaly--an oppressed trade invited by Ministers to free competition. Ido not hesitate to say that if the taxation of the country, with the interest on the national debt, is to be raised as heretofore from industry, we may as well re turn at ones to protection, as our ruin will be longer de layed; and on that ground those who think with me would (to gain time) support a protective policy. The prospects of the country, if Ministers do their duty, are, I conceive good; we cannot, however, expect to jump all at once into a stn's of prosperity. It may be some time before the real effects of free trade (when we get it) can ensue. The consequences of a long course of bad legislation will not be effaced in a day; some years must elapse before the question can be truly put— " W hat permanent advantages have we derived from change of policy ?" It is preposterous to talk of free trade having had a trial; we have not got it yet. Five years, at least, must elapse after its accession before the question can be put. Seeing, however, that for many years past distress has been the order of the day, I look for early good results from the real institution of said policy, the national debt notwithstanding. I believe it is perfectly practicable to pay off the whole of the national debt within five years, and that the best results would attend its disbursement. I say this advisedly--half-a-dozen business men would readily propound the modus operandi, the question only wants looking at, the operation would be harmless. I imagine the year 1860 will see the country without a debt at all. We have entered on a course which cannot be arrested. Lord John would be alarmed could he foresee half the good he has unwittingly done the coun try : there are other public men competent to the task. The Chancellor of the Exchequer need not be under any apprehension for the good faith of John Bull. John Bull's moral qualities are far beyond the Chancellor's perception. He can pay the debt, and he will. No thanks to the Chancellor, however, whose three-quarters cf a million is perfectly entertaining. As respects the actual state of trade, really the pub lished lists of imports and exports are no certain crite rion; it is well known that the great bulk of imports have lett a loss; the lists certainly show the quantity of trade done, which is showing just nothing ; in fact, a very large trade is a suspicious circumstance, and has often been the causative forerunner of the most disas trous periods; certainly neither labour or capital have room for congratulation in this part—the former is undergoing a modified starvation, existing on half a loaf, the latter is on the tramp for employment. As respects shipping, the prospects for English ships is very bad this year. lam sending out foreign ships on long voyages at rates that no English ship can sail at. Like all the other industries of the kingdom, British ' shipping will require to be relieved of all the burdens, of whatever kind, susceptible of removal. We do not re ' quire folio volumes to decide these matters. While Mi nisters put their spectacles on the country is placed hors de combat. March 18, 1850. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stu,—As a paragraph in your police report of yester day, relative to the escape of two prisoners from a cell at Marlborough-street, is calculated materially to damage the reputation of my patent looks, will you kindly allow me the following statement: — I have carefully examined the lock on the cell door, and I can most positively state that not only was the lock not picked, but that no attempt to pick it has ever been made. This is also the opinion of all the authori ties at the office. For obvious reasons, I cannot at present give any fur ther explanation.—l am, Sir, your most obedient ser vant, JOHN CHUBB. 57, St. Paul's Churchyard, May 4, 1850. The mackerel fishery for the season may be considered as finally closed, the boats, with two or three ex ceptions, having left Plymouth for their respective destina tions during the past week. Immense quantities of fish have been taken, and we learn, that from the competition of the buyers, higher prices have been paid here by them than the returns from London and various other markets would jus tify ; so that the fishermen have fared better than the fish monger. Many thousands of pounds have been paid the railway company during the season, and large sums of money have also been spent in Plymouth, not only in sup plying the crews of upwards of 200 boats for nearly four months, but in defraying the cost of landing, packing, and conveying the fish to the railway station. The mackerel fishery, which has only been known to Plymouth for the past few years, as no one imagined that the fish was off our coast at so early a period of the year—has now b ec ome a strong feature in the trade of the port, conferring considerable benefit on the town. Taking each boat and nets to be worth 5001., a sum, we understand, below the mark the value of the fleet would be 100,0001., and as the beats average seven men each, the number employed and to be fed is about 1,400, making no small addition to the num ber of consumers. In addition to this, many French vessels visit the port during the reason, fiir the express purpose of being supplied with mackerel. The benefits, therefore, aris ing to the trade of the port generally, from the fishery, is so considerable, that it behoves all classes to assist as far as possible, the enterprising spirit of the owners of these craft, and to allow them every possible facility which the port affords on their periodical visits. The men, are in general, a fine set of hardy fellows, and, on the whole, their behaviour has been very orderly.—Plymouth H erald.h LEICESTER TRADE.—General trade continues dull for the col coldness s se o as f season e o f s t p h r e i n y g , e , a r, but, whichas fineis partly weatherattributable a n t o im provement is confidently anticipated.

The passions are in morals, what motion is in physics; they create, preserve, and animate ; and without them, all would be silence and death. Avarice guides men across the deserts of the ocean; pride covers the earth with trophies, and mausoleums and pyramids; love turns men from their savage rudeness; ambition shakes the very foundations of kingdoms. By the love of glory, weak nations swell into magnitude and strength. What ever there is of terrible, whatever there is of beautiful in human events, all that shakes the soul to and fro, and is remembered while thought and flesh cling together, —all these have their origin from the passions. As it i‘ only in storms, and when their coming waters are driven up into the air, that we catch a sight of the depths of the sea, it is only in the season of perturbation that w: have a glimpse of the real internal nature of man. It is then only that the might of those eruptions shaking his frame, dissipate all the feeble coverings of opinion, and rend in pieces that cobweb veil. with which t i In" hides the feelings of the heart. It is thenoii the l Nature speaks her genuine feelings: and, as he darkness, night of Troy, when Venus illumined k t so may we , Aneas saw the gcds themselves at wor n when the blaze of passion is flung up? : rri an's nature, mark in him the signs of a ce!estial origin, and tremble at the invisible agents of God! extinguished: their Look at great men in critical and perilous moments, when every cold and little spirit harmless ; and at the ttle spirit is passions always bring them nt to perish, they emerge into very moment when they Seem , in the midst of his mutinous greater glory. against the Cartes,breaking in pieces ru . ssis, combating soldiers; Frederick of P passions • • armies of three kingdoms.., empire; — their led all these great the Mexican enlPl strongly upon the objects of men to fix their attention .1LNI: .i. s. d. 11 0 • 21 0 • ISO • it 0 b• 0 50 • 4S • SO • 50 • 21 • 49 • 90 0 SO 0 10 0 0 d 'Dividend per Annum, W 21. 10s. 161. 201. 31. 18s. 11.

It is in feet the great passiona.alnue which enable men to distinguish between what is diffi cult and what is impossible: a distinction always don founded by merely sensible men; who do not even suspect the existence of those means, which men of genius . employ to effect their object. It is only passion which gives a man that high enthusiasm for his country, and makes him regard it as the only object worthy of human' attention ;—au enthusiasm, which to common eyes appears madness and extravagance; but which always creates fresh powers of mind, and commonly ensures their ultimate success. In fact, it is only the gieet passions, which, tearing us away from the reductions of indolence, endow us with that cositinuity of attention, to which alone superiority of mind is attached. It is to their passions alone, unr!er the providence of God, that nations must trust, when peril , gather thick about them, and their last moment, seem to he at hand. The history of the world shows us that rarn are not to be counted by their numbers, but by the fire and vigour of their sense of injury ; hy th e i r memor y passions; by their deep of past glory; by their eagerness for fresh fame; by their clear and steady reeolutam of e.r.sitig to live, or of achieving; a pait;cular übjPet, which, when ir is once formed, strikes off a load of manacle. and chains, a tici gives free space to all heavenly and hero c feelings. All great and extraordinary actions come from th.. hear!. There are seasons in human affairs, when qualities fit enough to conduct the common business of lie, are feeble and useless; and when men must trust to Qui e ttee, for that safety which reason at such tim,s can nsver give. These are the feeling: which led the ten thousand over the Carduchian mountains; these are the feelings by which a handful of Greeks broke in pieces the power of Persia: they have, by turns, humbled Austria, reduced Spain; and in the fens of the Dutch, and on the moun tains of the Swiss, defended the happiness, and revenged the oppressions of man! God calls all the passions out in their keenness and vigour, fir the present safety of mankind. Anger, and revenge, and the heroic mind, and a readiness to suffer;—all the secret strengtb, all the invisible array, of the feelings,—all that nature has reserved for the great scenes of the world. For the usual hopes, and the common aids of man, are all gonel Kings have perished, armies are subdued, nations moul dered away! Nothing remains, under God, but those passions which have often proved the best ministers of His vengeance, and the surest protectors of the world.-- Sydney Smith. ESTIMATE OF THE POETICAL CHARACTER OF WORDSWORTH. (From " The Poetry and Poets of Britain." By Daniel Scrymgeour.) WILLIAM WORDSWORTH. (1770- .) A great portion of Mr. Wordsworth's life, since the completion of his education at Cambridge, has been passed amidst the mountain seclusion of Rydul Lake, in Westmoreland. His genius was compli mented with the laureateship on the death of Mr. Southey. No man, perhaps, ever made poetry, not merely the constructive part of the art, but its whole feelings and contemplations, so completely his occu pation. His youth fell fortunately in an age when the poetical literature of Fngland had begun to re vive; but the criticism of the times, independently of political animosities, did not yet seem to have tem pered its taste to the novel music of the " Lake '' bards. (1) Cowper, and Burns, and Crabbe had struck out new paths, and the academic steps of Wordsworth followed their track into nature with such literal fidelity as to border on the practical exaggeration of his own theory respecting the extent of field and mi nuteness of variety afforded by nature for the pure poses of poetry.(2) His new (8) poetical experiment, in which Mr. Coleridge shared, appeared in the Ly rical Ballads in 1798. The poet and his associated friends struggled stoutly against the ridicule and hostility which their " school " drew down on them ; and their perseverance has been rewarded in the popularity of much that was so mercilessly derided. The feelings touched by some of these pieces, their pathos, and truth to nature, won them way in popular estimation. Mr. Wordsworth's great work, "The Excursion," is a portion of a philosophical poem, in three parts, to be entitled " The Recluse," "contain ing views f man nature, and society,"(4) " having for its principal object the sensations and opinions of a poet living in retirement." The portion published presents a group of beautiful and profound thoughts, —of splendid and pathetic descriptions, united by a slight narrative, resulting from the poet's accidentally , meeting a Scottish pedlar, "the grey-haired Wan derer," whose peculiar education has made him a moralist, a philosopher, and a Christian. They join, and are joined by, other personages, and the poem consists chiefly- of a semi-dramatic exchange of argu ment and sentiment among the characters. The main moral seems to be to justify the ways of God to man, and to encourage the hopes of the wretched beyond the grave. The ethereal metaphysical specula tions of "The Excursion" render the thought often obscure, or at least difficult to be appre hended ; but the calm beauty of its pictures of solitude,—of lowly, suffering worth,—the fre quent energy and vivacity of its imagery—and its un ceasing heavenward enthusiasm—are qualities that stamp it with the seal of one of the noblest of ima ginations. Many of Mr. Wordsworth's smaller . poems are "flowers fresh with childhood ;" and among those of a more extonded aim, what, in grace of de lineation, or delicacy of fancy, can equal ".ttuth;" in affecting simplicity of circumstantial lineament of things in them elves morally and poetically beautiful, than " Michael," or the " Cumberland Beggar ?" and in " Tintern Abbey," the whole sympathies of the poet's nature, in reference to the relation of man to the external world, are poured forth in exemplifi cation of one of the prominent characteristics of Cowper's genius. If Cow per has taught the new generation to renew the habit of looking " at nature," the telescopic power of Wordsworth's poetry has vastly extended our sphere of vision—has brought the minutest and the nearest, as well as the most die tent, the vastest, and most undefined objects, within the sphere of our sympathies—has widened the glance of faith, and hope, and charity—and has given to the " humblest daisy on the mountain-side," not merely " a voice to bid the doubting sons of men be still"— the cold tongue of dogmatic theology might do this— but a voice with the power of the Mosaic rod, to draw from the flinty and unfeeling heart the gushing waters of all that is holy in piety, pure in affection, and hopeful and consoling amidst the obduracy of sorrow-hardened humanity. In Wordsworth's poetry the soul of man animates nature, as, in the Platonic philosophy (5), the Deity was the innate spirit of the universe. Nature inhabits him, and he inhabits nature, with a reciprocity of life-giving influence. " The sounding cataract Haunted me like a passion. • • • • The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood, Their colours and their forms were then to me An apps tite, a feeling, and a love." Byron and Burns are beings apart from Nature, to whose enjoyment she bolds the cup, accepted by the one with haughty disdain, or drained with the sullen gratification of selfish passion—by the other with hearty and benevolent relish of the enjoyment, but with the eagerness that deadens and kills while it gratifies. But Wordsworth shares her " boon-ness" with herself, as if the very flowers were conscious of his verse; " us i n g," Christian-like, "as not abu s i ng ." In estimating the spirit and tendency of Mr. Wordsworth's poetry, we have looked on its better side, and have disregarded the adhering vitiations that d lvpoeticalomrhrtidh los,tssl es t opt h ryh e et lihoxce,rtayehlon.

Mr. Wordsworth has classified his collected works —which he is fond of viewing as parts of an architec tural whole, and would wish to be judged as such — into, I. Poems referring to Childhood; IL Poems founded on the Affections ; 111. Poems of the Fancy; IV. Poems of the Imagination; V. Sonnets, Inscrip tions, &c. ; all forming, as it were, " the little cells, oratories, and sepulchral recesses" of the " Gothic Church" to be reared in " The Recluse." • (1) From the residence of Mr. Wordsworth, Mr. Southey, and Mr. Coleridge, near each other swot% h . lakes of Westmoreland and Cumberland, they and t h eir " school" were termed in ridicule, by some of the re - views, the " Lake Poets."
