Political discussion looks strange enough In verse, but into Thalaban verse it arranged itself dire:tiy. Here it is:— "You would not cure these evils by resolving That there should be no more monarchs, Nor miukters of state, Nor of the go•pel ; No interpreters of law; No general officers; No public councils. You might change th-3 names ; The things in some shade must remain." "Wise men will apply their remedies to vices, Not to names; To the causes of evil which are permanent, Not to t be occasional organs • By which they act, And the transitory modes In which they appear. Otherwise you will be wise historically, A fool in practice !" Afaeetious dialogue, " The Peaceful Lieutenant and his Friends," treats de omnibus rebus, &e., in a vein of agreeable satire, though the " confab" of these same nautical gossips appears to us to be somewhat spun out to the limits of garrulity. What the particular merit of t he 'Contribution about " Michael Angelo and the Friar" we can nowhere discover. The only truly poetic line in the whole contribution is the one here itelicised— " The thoughts That bear me company the livelong day, Through my thin sleep look in epic me still." The other metrical piece in the number, being a trans lation from the German, called " The Flowers' He eeenge," we remember to heve met with previously. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton continues his charming novel 'with unabated evidences of humour, wit, and wis dom—rlashtd at moments with an agreeable me lencholy—the story gradually unfolding its tortuous involvement. Leonard Fairfi , Id promises to be the hero of the narrative, and we have a suspi cion that, lady us she is, the little Violante may Prove towards him what Pauline was to Melnotto, and Leonora to Tessa. In an admirable argument carried on by the Parson and actor Riccabocca in the presence of Lenny, the author refutes in a masterly manner the old blunder, tint Lord Be con ever made such a non sensical assertion as that, " knowledge is le.vver." Here is a glarious passage from the more sententious part of the contribution to Blackwood by the great poet novelist : "At this day, there is a vast increase of knowledge spread over all society, compared with that in the middle ages; but is there not a still greater distinction between the highly educated gentl-man and the intelligent mechanic, than there urea then between the baron who could not sign his name and the churl at the plough ? between the accomplished statesman, versed in all historical lore, and the voter whose politica are formed by his newspaper, than there was be rep. the legislator who passed laws against witches, and rr e e burgher who defended his guild from some feudal ag 'eTtls'`'n? between the enlightened scholar and the dunce o th f e oYeihtheaacie there was between the monkish alchemist and yesterday ? Peasant, voter, and dunce this Century are no doubt wiser than the churl, burgher and blockhead of the twelfth. But the f - ""ernan, st atesman, an d sc h o l ar o f the pre,ent age are at b e ast quite as favourable a contrast to the alchemist, witch hil_r_ner, and baron of old As the progress of enlightenment _us done hitherto, so will it over do. Knowledge is like capital: the more there is in a country, the greater the dis parities in wealth between •.ne man and , nother. There fore, if the working class iecrease in knowledge so do the other classes; • . and if the working class rise peacefully and le gitimately into power, it is not iu proportion to their own knowledge alon e , b u t ra th er according as it seems to the edge of the other ordrs of the community. that such augmentation of proportio e eal power is just, and safe, and Wis e .e L eonard seems in a fair way to acquire both fortune and celebrity. An interesting review of Mr. Wright's very cUrien, " Narrative of Sorcery and Magic" follows the ' e ighth iostalment of the " Varieties of English Life." r the entertainment of those unacquainted with the . ° l d fables anent the loups-garous, we quote the subjoined It ceodote:-- "It i s asserte d b y a ser i ous an d i n t e lligent writer of the tuna that, in 1188, a gentleman, looking out of the window L his chateau in a village two leagues from Apchon, in the fo untains of Auvergne, saw one of his acquaintances going she hunter, whilst occupied in the chase, was attacked be a ufierce she-wolf, and. after firing at it without effect, struck it with his hunting-knife, and cut off the paw of its right tore n, Where u p on i t i mme di ate l y too k to fli g ht.

What was ir s urprise on drawing oat a lady's hand, with a gold tingateeru one finger !

SIR —The Bin's vic,ery at Epsom in the race (or the Metrepolitan Hanebeep bail a most electrical effect upon tee nerves of the fll:lie; the horse sent to the scene of actien at thelest moreeet was actually left out of the t''t tif starters on the cards of the day, and eons: silently, except while running , and in a -few other rare instances, not backed for a siegle farthing; severed of the hook-makers cleared handsome sitekes very in" from 2001 to 10,0001., but in ime single iestaree have I heard of any of the pubic, with the exception of Sir J. Hawley, who only sported a cool hundred on it, dropping in for a "good thing." I, having understood that be would not be sent, did not teee his elaaree into censideretion, but gave the race to Comas and Suertse, who ran home a bad third arid fount,. My seine ion for the Two years old Stakes, Flirt at,d the Old Lid. were first and second; they beat a large field, but all b hind them belong to the trashy class. The great City crack, Prince Rupert, that was to have carried all before him, verified my prophetic words in Note No. 26, where I remarked, that it was " with him as with The Grceh at Northampton, HIS DAY has not arrived. I was on the wrong eceut altogether for the City and Suburban handicap; old Eithiron, with Bst 51b on his hack, winning very cleverly from Eva, same age, 6st 91b, and Pitsford, 4 yrs, Bst 51b—there was not halt a length between the trio. The performance of; the last named must be borne in mind; it was first rate he gave his year to Eltkiron, and hie year and 191bs to Eva, allowing for her sex. The day's sport altogether eas excellent, and indicative of what we may expect throughout the year. 01 Friday list I put forth my view of the New market running for the present week, and up to the present time bud I have but few alterations to make in the same. To-day's races will have a slight effect upon future events, as, bar an accident, in my opinion, it is a certainty for Midas for the R. M. Stakes, which if it proves so, he will put in a stronger appearance in the Derby market, and may find supporters for the Two Thousand Guineae; a-d, moreover, should Iris win the D. M. Stakes, beatieg Cuticula, it will make her a great pet for the One Thou sand Guineas and Oeks. The running and jumping ca pers of the high-spirited Hesse Homburg at Epsom sent her up some fifty per cent, in my estimation for the New- Dttrket Ilandiesp; which fact, with the price at which she was being backed on the Downe, was published in the Express Edith nof 7 /c Sun on Friday evening. In note No. 28, of that day, I selected Antigone as the re presentative of the Goodweod stable; she is, however, now superseded by H esse H o mb u r g , w h o , i n m y o pi n i o n , will sui,ersede all others in the race; the result, 1 fancy, will be something alter this style:— HESSE HOMBURG 1 QUASIMODO or CHAMPION BUSIIRANGER or WINDISCHGRATZ 3 Bushranger and Windischgratz have been supported heavily during the last few days, and their prices this morning are quoted at 6 and 4to 1. It is said I'itsford will co; if he does, he will run up. Hernandez will win the Riddlesworth, and find backers for the Derby at 33 to 1, or else will be beaten by Naptbtt, and sent to the right about. The field for the Column Stakes, it is pre sumed, will consist of Lady Sale filly, Payment, Ariosto, Merry Peal, Blade Sea, or Palmyra filly, Trinket and Hatherton; the result as follows : ARIOSTO (Nat) 1 PAY el EN I' MERRY PEAL (Marson) 3 The field for the Port Stakes is likely to be larger than I anticipated last week, viz:—Clincher, the Knight of Avenel, Bee hunter, Officious, and King of Outie.

Sir,—On Wednesday the 2nd care the question of the second reading of the County Franchise Bill. No body doubts that the extension of the county franchise is a good thing, as it is a good thing for a man to open his doors and go away to his work by six o'clock in the morning. But if the man have got a hint that an enemy is waiting to enter and take possession, he will bo a wise man if he defers the epenieg till nine. This is precisely the present case. There are clear indications that the County Franchise Bill is pushed forward, not with a view to promote the obtaining its object, but to serve some project of the actors, involving the weightiest loss and damage to the ultimate pros pects of progress in the direction professed, even to the extent of diving out the Government which has engaged to move in the direction desired, and bringing in one bit terly opposed to it. For my own share in this business, I Ml back upon professional prejudices; and if you jent to them, you onght to have consPerea' it before you elected me. I won't give up my post. I was sent to Parliament to sup• port Free Trace 4bd the Extension of the Suffrage. And though it has been grief and bitterness of heart to me to see how the first of these causes in particular was aban doned to the enemy,—to see how the golden opportunities for exploding the blunders and fallacies of the Protec tionists during three sessions of Parliament have been :brown away, and now the question is to he broug ht to the test of a General Election while one shin liai - been Casting away its advantages, and the other has been fighting up its cause from tLy to day with all the vigour vt hich great talents, great interests, and great influence can coutmand;—though I have been doomed to see this without h, ing able to help it, because when one wet of advocates have been sent to the house of Commons u.• the declared supporters of a cause, the House will net tolerate the interference of au interloper in the shape of a borough representative who makes his appear ance in the following Parliament;—though to all this I may be obliged to submit with such patience as I may, I will not be cajoled into giving up my post and entering into a plan for bringing in a Protectionist Government, by any representations of the good that is to arise to anybody from fighting the Corn-law question over again, or the exct.llent men who are to be brought into notoriety aLd power as the final result of thus throwing the thing away when we have got it. . . _ I am. not inclined to mince the subject. If ever there was a political party thst deserved to bo beaten, it is what calls itself the Free-Traders. They have wooed and courted defeat and the restoration of their enemies, by acts both of omission and commission. The latter part begins to explain the former. Without charging them with anything beyond human infirmity, they have allowed themselves to be bewildered by the phantom of some power which they could never wield, and which no substantial portion of the community would trust them with for a fortnight; and for the sake of this phantom, like the unhappy dog in the fable, they heve been content to give up the meat that was in their mouths, and try the chances of restoring your bitterest enemies to power. And all the time they have been thus engaged, their opponents have been sowing the seeds of strength, by quietly rallying all whom a sense of indivi dual interest could collect to their banner, planting their dogmas in Parliament with the reputation of being an confuted and unanswered, and displaying all the qua lities of foresight, perseverance, and discretion, which are equally at the command of a bad cause and a good. I say again, if the merits of the combatants on the two sides were to settle it, you would ail have to turn into the poor-house, that Lord Stanley and his regiment might take the bread out of your mouths. I confess to having been once under the delusion, that the commercial community of England under its actual organization was competent to find rulers for ,the State. Tyre, Carthage, Venice, Genoa, Holland, floated before my eyes, and made me believe in the possibility of such a consummation. The single fact that they had not the genius to maintain their post while they had it, has plunged me into the lowest depths of that change of mind which constitutes repentance and conversion. I have been told I said a strong thing on one part of the subject. I said I had as lief see London six weeks in the occupation of a foreign enemy, as the Protectionists six weeks in power ;—that though the evil might be more concentrated, it would not be greater in amount. I used the obsolete but thoroughly English phrase, on purpose to be able to swear to it; and I am here to maintain the literal truth of the assertion. That there would be great suffering, fearful loss of life, before the one conclmien was arrived at, nobody can deny. But what would be the suffering, what the loss of life, if yon and ail who tithed in your position throughout this wide country, were to be starved down to the measure of Pro tectionist permission to exist? Have I not seen the Siege of Belton? Do I not knew how the weak among you must die in holes and corners, under lingering courses of thin porridge in which a little arsenic would ,be a mercy? And have I not the power to calculate hOw:far the totahof the suffering thus spread like rein sikrui butter over the surface of the lend, isolild ex ceed the lump, - however disgusting, which could be tkefeeiarily cencentritted in the limited area in the otter case supposed? - No; if we- were to have our choice like David, let us fall into the hands of all and anybody rather than of such men, as those who cull themselves the Free-Traders are at this moment eager to bring into the Government. I am glad to see an evening paper (Globe) repeating my figure of speech, and a noble Duke giving it vogue by referring to it at a political dinner. He does not seem to have quoted from a vexbally correct report; and if he had, I should have disabled his infer ence, by asking what reason there was for concluding me disposed to do the Lord's work slackly, in either of the cases which were presented as parallel. Liberal atter Liberal, men of undoubted attachment to the cause they profess, rose to implore the mover not to persist in his motion; and be ended by an indecisive kind of declaration, that he would not personally de mand a division. But the power that is behind, did it for him, and not more than one or two known Liberals had the resolution to resist the imposition by voting against it. The morsel prepared for us is this. A party blinded by some prospect of power or influence to accrue to themselves, shape a motion for a purpose laudable in itself, but under circumstances where it is visibly intended to do mischief and bring in an enemy. And then we are to be asked on our allegiance, to swallow the pill. It is exactly the case formerly pre sented. An enemy stands at your door at six in the morning and says, " Now as you value the reputation of an industrious hard-working man, go to your work and let me in." And this is what is to be presented to us, as often as may suit. Though the presenter should clothe himself as an angel of light, I will do again as I did before, and vote against everything that is hostile to the permanent interest of my constituents. In the " Votes and Proceedings" of Thursday, is a curious mistake in the notice of a Petition from Brad ford. It is found commemorated under the head of " Slave Trade," as a Petition for " suppression of the slave trade in the United States of America ;" the fact being, that it was a Petition for interference in behalf of British seamen taken out of their ships in ports of America, and imprisoned during the stay of their vessels, on account of their complexion. As mistakes will happen in the best-regulated families, this may be set down as a clerical error; and you will see the matter correctly reported in the ac count of ' Petitions in the morning papers, as notably the Times and Post. On the whole, however, it might not be amiss, if some who were not engaged in the pre sent Petition would petition again, either in the same terms or with such amplification as should make a re petition of the mistake impossible. On Friday the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought forward his altered Budget. His progress was a tri umph. The Free-Traders, with the exception of their accredited leaders, gathered round him, and avowed the from contest to be, between raising the public supplies the rich and from the destruction of monopolies, and raising them from a tax on bread. It was quite sur prising to see the number of Members who turned out in support of the principle of an income-tax; I had no idea the truth had made such way. The moment is critical for the working classes, who are in the act of rising in political power and importance. Either they will know that it is their battle that is fighting, or they will not. According to the knowledge they display en this subject, and the course they take in consequence, _will depend whether. they shall .gain or not by the pre sent tide which is in their favour.

JEWISH DISABILITIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I do not pen these few lines with any expecta tion of ever finding consistency in human legislation, nor with any view of arguing the subject to which I am about to refer; but I watt) merely to call your own at tention, to what I have just read in your paper. On the 3d instant, according to your Parliamentary report, Sir Robert Inglis opposed the admission of Jews into our Legislative Assembly because they were "unfit to legislate for the Christianity of the country," and because he considered it his duty to " maintain the Christian interest intact in the Legislature," thus ac lEnowltclging the House of Commons the right place for religious law -making. On turning, however, to another column of the same parr I find the Hon. Baronet on the very next evening opposing Liir B. Hall, and "protesting against this House being made the arena of any religious discussion, becaus e it contained in it men who were not fitted for legislation on any subject connected with the Church."

By the royal mail steam-sh'p Asia, Captain Judkine, we have advices from New York direct to the 26th ult. She brings a large number of passengers, and 152,0001. ia specie on freight. The Asia was tele graphed off Holyhead nt one o'clock to day, having made the quickest passage on record. The United States mail steamship Franklin ar rived at New York on the 22cl ult., and the United States mail steamer Arctic on the 231 tilt. By the steam-ships Crescent City, Ohio, and Pro metheus, we have advices from San Francisco to the 15th of February. Collectively these vessels had on freight specie to the amount of 1,V5,0001. in geld dust. The B:itish mail steamer Conway arrived at Kingston from St. Thomas's on the 14th tilt, and sailed the same day for Vera C ruz. The mail steam-ship Clyde was et Chagres on the 11th ult. From the Alta California we extract a summary of events : " Since the departure of the last steamer for Panama the Indian difficulties have been on the increase rather than otherwise, and murders, robberies, and reports o f hostilities, coldisions, and battles, have been rife. Eh. forts have been made in the Legislature to raise funds and. State troops for carrying on the war. One of the Governor's aids, Mr. J. Neely Johnson, has been dis patchod by his Excellency to the scene of disturbances, to act on the part of the State with the United States Indian Commissioners. Authority has been given to raise a force of volunteers to be used in case of necessity. The commissioners have also left Stockton with an es cort of some hundred United States' troops, and it is confidently believed that, if no obstacle, aro thrown in their way by revengeful or interested men, they will be able to form treaties with the mountain tribes, and thus give quiet t o t h e country. They aro men of the right stamp, acquainted with the Indian character, and dis posed to deal justly with them, we believe. The wea ther has continued dry ' and, for w i n t er , won d er f u l ly warm, sometimes as hi g h as 75 degrees, and seldom as low as 50 degrees; last evening it was at 47 degrees. We have not had five inches of rain since last March. The fear now is, that we shall have no more rain, the conscuences of which will be severe disappointment to those engaged in the dry diggings, and, perhaps, fatal to the stock and agricultural interests. Our Lsgislature has been battling for many things, but has won few vic tories. Don Quixote conflicts with windmills, amend iag Acts by making them worse, and passing a very few which may be beneficial, `logrolling' for the office of United States Senator, for establishing the seas of Government, for ousting each other out of their legiti mate legislative saddles, &e., have been the chief public occupations of our legislators. They have fixed upon next Monday as the day to elect a Senator to the seat of Mr. Fremont, after the 4th of March, and various aro the speculations concerning the result. Some be lieve Mr. King will be elected—some Mr. lloydeefeldt, while others have growing faith in Mr. Fremont, in whose favour there has been an undoubted reaction on the part of many. This was a perfectly natural result. Whenever opposition is carried to persecution it defeats its end, and assists the wrong party. Such has bean the case with Mr. Fremout. The health of the State is of the 11308 t glorious description; there are scarcely any deaths or sickness in any part of the State, so far as we have heard. There is no healthier country on earth. The excitement about the Gold Bluffs has not died out, but much subsided. It yet remnies for the companies engaged there to prove whether the amount of god can be made profitable to them. Individuals can scarcely expect to make piles by isolated labour in that place. The Klamath, Scott's River, end other localities in the extreme north of the State, seem to Lear the palm in the faith of our people in their richness. It is to be he pad that it is something more than distance which lends enchantment to the view in this matter. The expeditiens tent to the Colorado River are progress ing in their purposes. Lieutenant. Derby has parsed up the gulf and some distance up the river; and Major Ileintzeimaids command is also at the river. The squat ter question has subsided somewhat of late; the judicious decision of our Recorder and some other officers' opinion have contributed, in connexion with the opinions of the press, to cheek the great tendency to forcible entries and occupation of other people's land, which for a while seemed a mania hero. Our State laws having been found inadequate to the wants of some localities, the people have been dispensing justice under the code of Judge Lynch, The Legislature has passed the Loan Bill for raising a loan not to exceed 500,000 dolls. It is not very probable that anything can be negotiated under that or any other Act, unless some measures are found to raise the present credit of the State. Business, which has been exceedingly dull, seems at last reviving. We had a conversation with a gentleman yesterday, upon whose word we can place the utmost reliance, who informed us that an immense discovery of gold has lately been made upon a hill in the vicinity of the Mokelumne river, which had never previously been wrought. A party of four struck upon the very summit, some three weeks since, and, by digging down fifteen feet, have thus extracted over 4,000 dolls. The gold, although much coarser, is similar in colour to that found in the vicinity of Nevada, black and rusty. The gentlemen who have been work ing this have bad much difficulty in washing, being obliged to convey their dirt a great distance to water. The continued discoveries which arc being made upon the hill tops are opening new resources in the mineral wealth of California. The idea that the gold of Califor nia has been exhausted is ridiculous in the extreme." The Pacific News contains the following : " The Chesapeake returned from Gold Bluff on Satur day, and, from the number of passengers who returned in her, the public will get the impression that the • for tune of all' which was supposed to be in that particular locality for the mere picking up, is not of as golden a nature as was anticipated. From one of the passengers of the Chesapeake we learn that the bank in the vicinity of the Bluff, and for several miles north and south of it, contains large quantities of black sand, in all of which may be found what is termed ' scale gold,' but in particles so fine as to prevent its being separated from the sand by the ordinary process of washing, and that mining can only be made profitable by the labour of well-organiz companies, aided by such machinery or cpparatus as will enable them to assay, or precipitate by acids. Our in formant also extended his examination to the Bluff, but his impressions were anything but satisfactory. He ex presses the opinion, however, that the same obstacle to succeas presents itself there as in the case of the sand found upon the beach, and that the whole undertaking will ere long he abandoned, because of the expense and labour attending the separation of the gold from the foreign substances with which it is found to be so thoroughly mixed." Relative to the quicksilver mines in California, the Placer Times says : " It is very generally known that quicksilver mires', have been worked to some extent for many years in Ca lifornia, hut until the discovery of gold little attention has been bestowed upon them. For some months past quicksilver has been offered in our market, known as coming from the New Almaden mines. The principal mines in California are the Guadalupe and New Alma den, and aro situated in the same neighbourhood, some four miles distant from each other. Those mines ere about eight miles from San Jose, and can be reached by a good road st all seasons of the year. We are told that the mines are now worked extensively, the produce amounting to several millions of dollars in the present ,seasust, arid that the yield from the ore is almost past heliefe 85', per cent. of pure mercury is not au uecom- MOTr yield. elt was reported at San Francisco that a diMculty had arisen between the commander of the French gate Serieuse and the Government of the Sande icli Islands. The commander demanded the payment of 25, 1, 00 dolls. as a commutation fur customs alleged to o have been collected contrary to treaty obligations. The King refused to accede to this claim, and threw himself on the protection of Great Britain and h United States. Upon this the French commander landed his men at Honolulu, and prevented several Hawaiian vessels from proceeding to sea. A shocking murder bas been committed on the Chagres river. The victims were eleven in number —eight men, two women, and one child. T wo men, named Fidele Pepin, a native of France, an d L eoncre Landry, goldbeater, of Paris, were among the number. Our a dvices f rom Mexico extend to the 9 2d of Feb ruary. The administration of Arista did not appear to give satisfaction. Senor Facio, the Minister to E ng l an d, was to retain his appointment ; a charter had been issued for the construction of a railroad from Vera Cruz to Medillin ; one of the waggons of the freight line had been attacked near the city of Alexico, and a large quantity of goods carried off. The New Orleans Delta reports that the Mexican Senate, in secret session, declared Jose de Garay's grant of the right of way across the Isthmus of Te huantepec null and void, he having forfeited the same twice. From San Juan de Nicaragua we have intelligence to the 14th ult. The steamer Director was running regularly on the lake. The news of the battle be twec,n the armies of the Republics of San Salvador and Guatemala is fully confirmed ; the former lost 528 men, '2OO prisoners, and a large number of guns. The King of Mosquito was staying on board her Ma jesty's schooner Bermuda. The English Consul, kir. Chatfield, had published a letter claiming, under the Mosquito King, the territory close up to Trusillo. The British fleet bad sailed towards Guatemala. We have accounts from Kingston, Jamaica, to the 14th ult., being a fortnight later than our previous adviccs. The cholera was fast disappearing from the island. The north side papers bad not recorded a single case as occurring iu that part of the country, although the disease bad appeared in the mountains of Westmoreland. Sugar, 20s. per 100;b. From Havannah we have advises to the 19tl i but the intelligence contained therein is uninter es ti ng. The ice en the St. Lawrence having broken up, the navigation was completely open. COD!'

There is very little doing in freights, and the rates are hardly so firm. Engagement for corn at 4 to 4d.; heavy goods at 17s. 6d to 20s. To California there is morn offering, and the rates are nominal. The dry goods trade is still under a cloud. Buyers do not come forward numerously, and the few that do, buy sparingly, while the station sales, which have been large during the week, have supplied the best part of the de mand. The country trade is later than usual, and stooks, which are only moderate in reference to the usual de mand (and which we believe to be only retarded), are yet felt heavy while that demand is suspended. Prices consequently have no firmness, and both cotton and woollen goods tend strongly to a decline. The market thus favours the buyers, to continue which is an induce ment to buyer s to delay as much as they can, for their own interests, the bulk of their purchases. Aches—The market is very quiet; smell sales of pots at 5 dolls. 25e. and 5 dolls. 75c. pearls. Cotton—is less firm, and a decline of has been submitted to, at which 1,000 bales have been sold. light.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] , 1 EAST ANGLIAN RA L " WAY • TO THE EDITOR OF Till SUN. SIR,—In the City a rticle in the HE of th e 1 8t h ult. they name this railway, in conjunction w i t h t h e Caledonian, as having risen from 70 to so per cent. without any appar e nt c ause to justify it. They do not say a word that our shares are still at 400 per cent. discount; nor can I see any just compari we h av e given none, b ut j ust rece i ved one. son of the two lines. The Caledonian i s we i g h e d d own by lz uaran tco s ; any outlet from o nr li ne . Th e G reat We have hitherto had to depend upon residential traffic, v.ithout Northern h as a fforded us one to the south and west; it has emancipated us from the Eastern Counties, and further mom will „ a ble us to receive th e grea t d roves o f cat tl e r. , station to the pastures of Nor- Alarki I , which hav e now to be driven from twenty to from fo Ik, s tp e e ., ir g thirty w iles.

On one point I want to answer what I think a fallacy, thrown in the way of the - working elasses. An Hon. Member who is a great advocate for applying money to the reduction of the national debt, advanced, in perfect sincerity and conviction there can be no doubt, that the working classes were not interested in the taxes being paid by the rich instead of by themselves, because what was taken from the rich was so much taken front what they could expend upon the working classes. Now in this I oeserve the mistake, of not perceiving that though not expended on the working classes by the rich from whom it is taken, it is expended on them by the Government that takes it. Put the else for instance which the West Riding ought perfectly to understand, that 0,0001. is taken from the rich, and expended on soldiers' clothing. Is there any consequence in the ag gregate, but that tenter-hooks at Leeds and Halifax blush scarlet, instead of displaying the cooler variety of sad colours? And when Hon. Gentlemen tax the country to the amount of what would fit out thirty sail of the line, to spend upon a baby-house which has not room for the members of the House of Commons when it is done, is there any doubt of the money being spent upon the working cleeses, though not in the same places as if it had been lett with the owners.? In confirma tion of which, you shall sometimes hear men advo cating taxation on the ground that it raises money to be spent upon the working classes. The evil then is not litre at all, but in the fact that the taxed get nothing for their money, which they would have done if allowed to speed it their own way. I therefore beg the working classes not to ask to pay the testes themselves, upon the strength of this argument. The Resolution for raising the Supply, passed without a division; though the Protectionists threaten that on black Monday they will do what they will do, on bring ing up the Report. I think their chance is over. There wants nothing but sticking to them in the House of COllllllOll5 till next General Election, —doing in short everything which has not been done hitherto,—to make it perfectly safe to trust to the decision of the country on the wretched fallacy of what they call Protection to British Industry, by which they moan robbing Bradtord to give the amount to themselves, and robbing the com munity for love besides. _ _ . In conclusion, I will beseech you to remember, that the condition of this life is, that those who will not keep a thing when they have got it, shall have it taken from them. For the Hike of those poor souls who are marked to perish if in spite of warning, in spite of entreaty, the citadel of Free Trade is given up by a determined, reso lute, cold-blooded opening of the doors to the enemy and forcing him to come in, I would implore of you to bestir yourselves in time if there is anything in j our power to do, and not leave the cause we have toiled for, the cause we have won, the cause in NV hich you and yours are as deeply concerned as human history can show, the cause by which all other reforms are hang ing., to be sacrificed to any man's visions of better things that are to come for any body, by throwing the whole again into the lottery of war. I am, Sir, yours very sincerely, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 7th April, 1851. GENERAL KLAPKA AND LORD ;c on the Consolidated Fund, at the Quartet LYNDHURST. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—ln Lord Lyndhurst's speech, delivered in the House of Lords on the 27th of March, there is a passage running as follows: " But this is not all. I have a case still more striking to bring under the consideration and attention of Go vernment. There is another central committee in this city—where the branches meet I know not—who style themselves the Central Committee of Hungarian Re fugees. One of the leading members of this committee is a person named Klapka, an officer who served in the insurrectionary war in Hungary, and who commended the fortress of Comorn at the close of that war. Your Lordships are aware that a large body of Hungarians were driven from Austria into Italy, and were incorpo rated into the Austrian army in Lombardy. Avail ing themselves of this object, this committee have • lately issued a proclamation, addressed to those Hungarians, and couched in language of a most inflammatory character, and containing topics also of a most inflammatory and exciting description, calling upon them to desert their ranks, pointing out to them how they could do this most effectually and most de structively to Austria, instructing them how to act in the event of a war, what signals would be made, and what co-operation they would 'receive. This proclama tion is signed by the individual to whom I have referred, General Klapka; and a more flagrant violation of the protection afforded to a refugee I cannot conceive." Although I formerly disdai❑ed refuting certain mic representations made by M. von Manteuifel in one of the Prussian Chambers, who was pleased to transpose me to Schleswig-Holstein, yet I feel obliged emphati cally to contradict any untruth uttered in either of the !Looses of the British Parliament. Accordingly, I declare— 1. For more then a twelvemonth I have not been t c h o e ca r m o t e t e o e f a t m h e e n t lead ion e e r ci s , b o y r Lord.l 'vveinngalnasn Lyndhurst. 2. f n a ° p r y a o m f e e 2. I never addressed a proclamation to the - Hungarian soldiers in Italy calling upon them to desert their ranks. Nobody who knows my character will think me cap able of au advice calculated, under the present circum stances, to sacrifice and deliver those unfortunates to ruin and still greater mizery. I declare any procla mation of the kind, if there be any, as altogether fake, or trumped up, perhaps, by the agents of the Austrian police. Lord Lyndhurst's remarks, therefore, rest upon:snore fictions, and it is only a wonder that the Noble Lord should have forgotten his mission and high situation, which ought to have preserved him from becoming a tool for the intrigues of the Austrian police. I leave to the English people to appreciate his Lordship's disavowal of their own history and principles, which some centuries ago laid the foundation of their present greatness and glory. So much for the refuta tion of unprovoked calumny ! So far from being over awed by such and similar proceedings, and the despi cable snares of the Russo-Austrian police, I shall never cease doing what I hold suitable to the interest and deliverance of my oppressed and unhappy father land, as far as I can do so without violating the laws of that country where I met with an hospitable recep tion. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, Paris, April 4, 1851.

This morning .(Saturday) being market day brought. together an unusual concourse of 'our townsfolk, it being unders'ood that the suffrages of the electors were to be solicited by three candidates all on the spot— Mr. Bethell, Q.C., Mr. Ferrara], and Mr. Houghton, the same who bad contested the borough on extreme opinions in op position to Mr. Calvert. The extravagance of Mr. Fer rand's views, and the violence with which he enforces them, are well known, and as Mr. Bet hell has come forward on moderato principles, the Liberal party have prevailed on Mr. Houghton to retire from the field rather than run the risk of suffering Mr. Fer:and to slip in through any division of forces in the opposite camp. On the Papal question, Mr. Bethel!, in his address, declares himself utterly " opposed to the establishment of a Popish hierarchy." " Believing it ne cessary to maintain the measures which have lately afforded the largest field to commercial and manufacturing enter prise, he is still keenlyalive to the necessity of adopting every step to relieve the agricultural community from every undue burden." He adds, that "he present.; himself unfettered by any pledges, and stands before them an independent candidate for their suffrages." The contest promises to be a severe one •; though, as far as an opportunity has vet offered of canvassing the town, Mr. Bethell's reception has been most flattering, influential persons of all parties appeai - ing anxious to sink their differences in order to secure the services of so distinguished a candidate. It is thought that even the more ardent supporters of Lord Stanley's policy, cautioned by their Noble Leader at the recent banquet, that " true prudence and true statesmanship point not at the hasty reversal of all that is done," will be reluctant to Tn bas-rrrassnd. stheir cause by entrusting it to the keeping of Mr. E WEST SOMERSET ELFCTION.—The election is fixed by the High Sheriff for Thursday next, and i o t o is o n e o s -v i ascertained beyond doubt that there will netbeauY Langton, Reform grand sonT he o o f n t l nye late candidate Colonelbe quite, half a cen- Member for the county for nearly, if not . dProtectionist who is the son-in-law of on principles. thet cen tury. ry D . o kMer. of William u cki Buckingham, e Langton, ooin w r.

Illt ess, however, which oin him in prayer that the health of their prevented the Bishop from leaving his home, would deprive the parishoners for a time of his pastoral advice. It was a subject which they would, deeply regret, and he begged his respected diocesan might speedily be restored. Mr. Liddell proceeded to say that he would take that opportunity of ad ding a word or two on the subject of the changes which had . taken place in the mode of performing the services of that church. For some time past ceremonies had been observed parishoners to:.i at St. Paul's to which many persons were attached, but which had been altered since his connexion with the district. He trusted the congregation would not blame him for the changes which had been made It was not by his own au thority the alterations had been effected; all the alterations had been made on the suggestion or at the request of the Bishop of London, who had expressed himself willing to take all the :esponsibility. SECESSION.--On Thursday last, the Rev. T. Min ster, vicar of St. Saviour's Church, Leeds; Rev. Mr. Combs, the Rev. Mr. Rooke, curates of his; and the Rev. Mr. Lewthwaite, of Clifford, were formally received in the Roman Catholic Church, St. Ann's Church, Leeds. Seven or eight lay members, including the matron, assistant-matron, riad servant at St. Saviour's Orphan Establishment in con nexion with the above church, were received on the tame evening. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. respectfully beg your insertion of the follow ing explanation respecting an acrostic on the name of " PHELPS," which appeared in The Sun, of Monday, March 31. I am, myself, solely to blame for the wrong done to Mr. E. L. Blanchard. On looking over the papers of my son, after his decease, I found the lines in question wr►tten in pencil, in my son's handwriting, and, as he was in the habit of writing such things, concluded, too hastily, they were his composition. I, myself, covered the pencil marks with peu cod ink, and added my son's name, which you will see by the original, enclosed, is in a different hand from the rest. Mr. E. L. Blanchard will, I trust, be satisfied with this public apology, and I am sure all who know me will believe I would not wilfully attempt such a misap propriation. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, FREDERICK WILTON, Stage-manager, Britannia Saloon. 6, Wallbrook-place, East-road, Hoxton, April 5, 1851.

Smith, the appruver, is also in Horsemonger lane. A warrant has been received by Mr. Keene for his detention until the next assizes. In consequence of the statement of Mrs. Holiest that he was the man who fired at her husband, the Government believe that Smith has de ceived them, and be is therefore to be indicted at the next assizes for the burglary. Smith does not appear to like this new state of affairs. lie say 3 it's a shame the bill has not been acted up to, and that if he had " knowed" i% be would have kept quiet, and chanced it. Calcraft will be the ex ecutioner. It will take place at eight o'clock in the morning. Dispatches were received on Saturday from the Go vernor of Gibraltar, at the Colonial-office. EVENING, 981,869
