Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., THE ATTRACTIVE MAN. By Mrs. TROLLOPE. Among all the novels of Mrs. Trollope, numerous, varied, and admirable as they are, we do not call to min d one which has afforded us so much pleasure and profit as this new one now before us—not one la which the characters so satisfy the judgment as to their truth, while they excite the fancy, and stir the feelings by their bold, vigor ous, and spirited painting, and by the situations in which the won derful inventive faculty of this writer places them. The hero is a consummately drawn character, and one that is new to the modern rovel reader. Yet how perfectly: natural, how true, and yet how exciting, by the perpetual curiosity attendant on his brilliant career. The novel will be universally read, and will, we suspect, become the primp favourite of all the writer's works."—Court Journal. Henry Coiburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

It is true, he cannot outbid the present offer made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL; but if he is anxious, as he has hitherto shown himself, to cul tivate the support of the great manufacturing districts, and remove the ab3urd anomaly that still exists respecting the trade in corn, he must come up to the same pitch with his rival, conciliate the feelings of the great mass of the people, and " put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people." These are not times to trifle with the community by neglecting the general good for the benefit of a few monopolists. The danger of famine, at least high prices, is beyond the possibility of a doubt, and should the winter prove severe and a scarcity ensue, the sufferings of the people would generally and justly be attributed to a scheme which had only one real objection in view—to raise the prices of the necessaries of life, and put money into the landlords pockets, but which has inflicted still greater evils by stinting the cultivetion of grain in corn-growing countries, and thereby depriving the starving peo ple of Great Britain and Ireland of supplies which otherwise would have been bountifully provided. For these reasons we regard this plain, unassuming letter of Lord JOHN RUSSELL as the most important docu ment that has appeared for many years. It will form a watchword for the whole Liberal party; its statements will be re-echoed throughout the United Kingdom, and no rest will be given to any Minister, of whatever party, till the corn-laws are utterly abolished, and every restriction on the admission of food and clothing used by the people be finally removed. With the appeal of Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the men of his order we close these (remarks.—" It is no longer worth while to contend for a fixed duty. In 1841 the free-trade party would have agreed to a duty of Bs. a quarter on wheat, and, after a lapse of years, this duty might have been further reduced, and ulti mately abolished. But the imposition of any duty at present, without a provision for its extinction within a short period, would but prolong a contest already sufficiently fruitful of animosity and discontent. The struggle to make bread scarce and dear, when it is clear that part, at least, of the additional price goes to increase rent, is a struggle deeply injurious to an aristo cracy which (this quarrel once removed) is strong in property, strong in the construction of our Legislature strong in opinion, strong in ancient associations, and the memory of immortal services." vines now entered warmly upon the course that had been opened to them. There, as in Paris, savings and credit were both engaged; the bankers realised the premiums paid by the departments. The latter, how ever, soon found that they , had taken too heavy a burthen upon themselves, and the shares came back to the capital, but they found the paternal dolr closed, the first sellers would not run a new chance, and it was neces sary to seek for other purchasers. Thus the Bourse was daily more and more encumbered with shares." The re marks on the Oregon affair are confined chiefly to the Op position papers. The National, with its usual honesty and impartiality towards England, declares that the Ameri cans have right on their side, and have only to remain firm. The Courrier Francais says all will end in smoke " We think there will be much ado about nothing. When American and British pride shall have cast oft its fumes, when the journals of the two countries shall become weary of telling each other coarse truths for the edification of the galleries, and when, above all, the dread of a war shall have shaken credit, and put a check upon commercial transactions, a•znoment will come when they will both listen willingly to the voice of reason, and conciliation will be easy." The following are the only other extracts from the papers of interest :- " It appears (says the Constitutionnel) that the naval forces intended to act against Madagascar are much greater than was at first supposed. It will almost form a squadron, for at least four, if not five ships of the line or frigates are talked of, besides sloops and store-ships, without reckoning those of the Bourbon station, which are to take part in the expedi tion, with the further addition of two steam ships." " We find the following in the Semaphore of Marseilles of the 21st The Marquis de Lavalette passed through Mar seilles the day before yesterday on his way to Toulon to re ceive Ibrahim Pacha, who is expected to arrive there to morrow or the next day, in the steam-frigate Nile. The Egyptian Prince arrived in it at Genoa on the 15th, and on landing was saluted with guns from all the ships of the Sar dinian squadron, the sailors mannin4 the yards. Ibrahim visited the King, Charles Albert, who received him with great distinction, and invited him to a grand dinner of 45 covers next day. On the 18th he was to be present at a grand review of the troops given by his Majesty in honour of the Prince's arrival." " The German Universal Gazette has the following from Palermo, dated the 6th M. de Montebello arrived here on the 30th ult., to compliment the Em peror and Empress of Russia. The Ambassador was well received, and invited to dine with the Emperor. His Excel lency announced the speedy arrival of two French Princes."'

In a second edition of the Times, we find the follow ing particulars of the adjudication of the Paris and Stras bourg and Tours and Nantes lines of railway, which took place on Tuesday:- " We have received by extraordinary express the Paris papers of yesterday, with letters from our correspondent, data half-past three o'clock P.M. ; the latter state that at three o'clock yesterday the Paris and Strasbourg line was ad judged by the Minister of Commerce to the united com panies represented by General Cubieres on a lease of 43 years, 286 days. " The Tours and Nantes line was equally adjudged to the Company represented by Count de la Pinsonniere, Messrs. Mackenzie, O'Neill, and Co., on a lease of 34 years and 15 days. The corn-law is prodecing its effects even more rapidly than we had anticipated. The people of Eng land are at this moment, paying weekly 400,0001. I more for bread-corn than they were paying this time last year, and, as a natural consequence, the trade of the manufacturing districts is suffering. Mr. COBDEN, at the great free-trade meeting at Sheffield, on Monday last, declared that, " within the last six weeks they had suffered in Lancashire a more sudden and severe depres sion than had been sustained since the time of the peace." lie adds, "It was not a difficult matter to account for the suddenness of this depression. They had a wheat harvest deficient in quality and in quantity in this coun try, and they had also the failure of the potato crop ; and these evils together caused a rise of at least 50 per cent. in the cost of their provisions. Every one before him, both the wholesale and retail dealer, understood what were the legitimate effects of a bad harvest. Every body, therefore, was acting upon that knowledge, which, to no small extent, was owing to the preachings and teachings of the League. Everybody understood that the high price of food, which was the result of a bad arvest, caused a bad state of trade, and the wholesale and retail dealers, immediately that they saw the pros. pect of a bad harvest, before them, ceased to buy large stocks of manufactured goods, lest by-and-by these stocks should be left unsaleable' on their hands. What becomes now of that fallacy of the monopolists, that when bread is dear wages rise? Bread is dear— have wages risen ? This corn-law we are told was enacted for the especial benefit of the agricultural labourer. Does he now receive a larger sum weekly for wages than he received this time last year ? If the monopolist doctrine were true he ought, and he ought also to be a better customer to the manufacturer, now that bread is dear,Abanhe was when bread was cheap. But he is not a better customer now than he was last year, because, as he has to expend a larger amount of his wages for bread, he has the less to spare for clothing, and he knows to his cost that his wages have not risen as the price of bread has risen. Working men have found out the delusion which the monopolists have been practising on them, and it will go down with them no longer. To quote again the words of Mr. COBDEN—" Working men now understand that a high price for provisions does not cause high wages, but, on the contrary, that high wages and a low price of food invariably accompany each other." That a period of distress is fast approaching in the ma nufacturing districts, is, we fear, but too evident, and dis tress and famine, says Dr. THOMSON, at the Sheffield meeting, are always the forerunners of pestilence. But that the corn-law will be suffered to do its worst we cannot for one moment believe. Thanks to the la bours of the League, the people are now enlightened, as to the cause of their distress, and, as was well observed by Mr. BRIGHT, whose speech at this meeting was one of the most admirable which that eloquent ad vocate of free trade has ever delivered—" The people constantly and invariably attribute the pre sent depression of trade to the operation of the corn-law. This law, which was passed ostensibly for the purpose of protecting the native industry of the country, and to give us, who are manufacturers, a con stant supply of good custom from the home trade, to give to capital a fair profit, and to labour fair wages ; this law, which promised so much is now looked upon by almost everybody as the guilty party, in causing the present almost universal depression." Under these circumstances there cannot be a doubt but that the great majority of• the people will join the League in making " a long pull, a strong pull, and a pall altogether," which shall, to use a legal phrase, at once prostrate the nuisance of monopoly. The resolution which Mr. BRIGHT proposed at the Oldham meeting should be made a standing resolution at all anti-starvation meetings throughout the country. If at all those meet ings it were resolved, " We won't stand it any longer," the affair would be very soon settled. Mean while the League is proceeding steadily and deter " For the Paris and Strasbourg line there was no compe tition. For the Tours and Nantes line there were 'two bidders—namely, the Company represented by Messrs. La Pinsonniere, and the Company of Post-masters represented by M. Dailly. The biddings were to lease the line for a number of years below the minimum (35 years) fixed by the Minister. " Mr. Mackenzie proposed taking the line at a reduction ,of 350 days. " M. Dailly proposed taking it at the maximum:. " M. La Piusonniere was consequently declared the suc cessful bidder. " Considerable excitement has 'prevailed here during the day,' says our Bourse letter of Tuesday. 'At the commence ment of business attempts were made to sustain prices. The Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. were respectively quoted at a higher tlgure than the closing one of yesterday, but they speedily gave way. A similar remark is applicable to Shares. Northerns, which were up to 824, subsequently receded.'"

Lord Joust RUSSELL, during his quiet retreat at Edii,burgh, has employed his time usefully in viewing the alarming state of the corn and potato crops, and has erubodiel his sentiments on that important question, as well as others connected with it, in a letter addressed to his constituents, the electors of the City of London. With one exception, and that is a most important one, there is little new in the letter, and hardly any opinions expressed which have not occurred to most persons con versant with the working of the obnoxious system of corn-laws, and especially the ruinous effects of the sliding scale, but even in that case his Lordship's opinions, though not differing materially from those entertained by the great body of free-traders, may be regarded as of the greatest value, and the most decisive proof that the fate of the corn-laws is sealed. His Lordship, with that good sense, candour, and independence for which he is justly admired, even by those who disagree with him, admits that he has changed his opinions, and is fully convinced that the trade in corn must be free. " I used," says he, "to be of opinion that corn was an ex ception to the general rules of political eco nomy, but observation and experience have con vinced me that we ought to abstain from all interference with the supply of food. Neither the Government nor a Legislature can ever regulate the corn-market with the beneficial effects which the entire freedom of sale and purchase are sure to produce." These are noble sentiments for a statesman so intimately connected by blood with the first aristocratic families in the kingdom, but they are chiefly important as the deliberate expressions of the leader of a great party, and the only real antagonist whom Sir ROBERT PEEL has to fear. It is in that sight that we view the question, because from the new position of the parties the most beneficial and decisive results may be anticipated. In almost every great measure introduced by Sir ROBERT PEEL sine:, he assumed the reins of Government in 1841 he has only been an imitator, and in that respect he has surpassed all former statesmen. He is taught by the enemy; he adopts his principles, and to give them some show of originality, he carries them to the utmost extent that the circumstances of the country and the prejudices of the people will allow. The Maynooth Grant, the Colleges Bill, a system of conciliation to wards Ireland, and every new measure adopted for the government of that country—all were stolen from the policy h e h as acte d on the Whigs. In his commercial same principle. He took the original idea from his antagonists, clothed it in a new shape, a n d, w i t h t h e exception of the corn-law, has far outbid them in con ces.iotts to the free-traders. But even on that head he has done something. The admission of foreign cattle and provisions at a moderate duty, and, above all, the Caned.' Corn Bill, were movements in the right direc tion, and held out a hope, nay led to conviction, that as soon as time and circumstances would allow, he would go the whole length. When hi s new sliding scale was introduced he had nothing to fear from Lord JOHN RUSSELL. The MELBOUNE Ministry made a great blunder, when they touched the corn-laws at all, to propose so little relief. In fact, the Bs. duty was scouted by the free-traders, and justly regarded as even worse than the sliding-scale. The evils of that preposterous and unjust arrangement were so manifest, that they rifiksttin:a StiOrt timg work their own cure, and the eur.e,Tm#ennaencedrbus from a fixed duty there was *Ate - ofj retiek'anCthat scheme, therefore, rece i '4l/:tte‘griatis , Pori'front, no quarter whatever.

" Register! register ! register 1" is now the motto of the League, which they have bor rowed from Sir ROBERT PEEL ; and the day is not far distant when he will return the compliment, by assuming as his own, their motto—" Free Trade with all the World." We have received Madrid journals of ;.he 18th inst., but they bring no intelligence of the slightest interest. The Funds were rather flat on that day, and only a few transactions took place in the Three per Cents., which closed at 36i at sixty days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the panic in the share market and the intelligence from the United States respecting the Oregon question. In reference to the first subject we regret to find that several of the Opposition journals attribute the fall in the share market in a groat measure to English jobbers, who sold out when the prices were at the height, and after realising considerable sums disappeared. It is not fair to state the case in this manner, for it is well known that French speculators adopted the same course, and that many persons in this country, so far from having made money in French railway shares, are losers to a great amount. Such a system is not peculiar to auy nation, and the French are quite as clever in seizing the fit occasion to buy or sell as the English. We also regret that the Constlationnel, a journal that should be above national prejudices, should encourage rather than check them by directing its remarks not so much against these English schemers as against the country. For instance, it says: —" When we expressed our fears as to the violent and excessive displacement of French capital it was said that the English would come to our aid. In fact, the English capitalists did arrive, and they figured in the list of direc tors of most of the companies which was multiplied with such frightful fecundity. But all these bankers, these directors, these engineers, these squires, whom we bor rowed from England were only financial supernumeraries who soon disappeared after making us pay for their credit at an exorbitant rate." Sentiments like these may be well chargeable with ingratitude. The French lines completed and in progress owe much to English capital and English artisans and labourers, for without them we are fully convinced that not one-half of the work would have been done. The writer in that journal is well aware of the fact, and he therefore finds it neces sary to find other causes for the panic besides the schemes of gambling Englishmen. "Up to the time of the adjudication of the northern line, the provinces had to a certain degree refrained from taking part in the speculations of the Bourse of Paris; but when this line was adjudicated, the bankers who had five, ten, fifteen, and twenty thousand shares in the affair, and who were afraid of provoking a premature fall by sales in Paris, sold their shares in the principal cities of the kingdom, Lyons, Marseilles, Strasbourg, &c. The pro• LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S LETTER ON THE CORN LAWS. (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) If the head of the Government has lamentably failed in his duty at the present alarming crisis, the same can not now be said of the leader of the Opposition. Lord J. Russell, having stood out with desperate courage for a fixed duty, long after it had been forsaken by all but a small faction of his party, has now, with a wiser courage, avowed himself a TOTAL AND IMMEDIATE FREE TRADER. We knew this must come at last. It comes now with the greater effect that it has not come sooner. The statesman, who leading an Opposition, has for four years studiously, sometimes almost offensively, repudiated the object to which the desires of a larger majority of his party than any other question of the day has brought together, have been most strongly directed, cannot be suspected, at any rate, of insincerity or interested motives in his now late con cession. Lord John Russell has shown too often, by his acts, his scorn for the Peel policy of feeding the passions of an Opposition in order to ease the way to power, to render it possible to ascribe any other motive for the re markable letter to the electors of London, which we print in another column, than a conscientious conviction of the error of his past opinions, and the greatness of the now impending danger. Letters to constituents seem to be becoming the great vehicles of political action. We had a letter from Lord Ashley, which did its work: we have now a letter from Lord John Russell, which will do greater work. It was startling to hear Lord Ashley say that the corn-laws were doomed. Lord John Russell has now doomed them irretrievably. We only wanted all the minds and great names of the Liberal party united in the cause to ensure victory. Mahomed has now come to the mountain, which would not go to him. Lord John Russell has now put himself in his proper place, at the head of, and not aloof from, Mr. Cobden and Mr. Villiers ; and the corn-laws will not live another year. Lord John Russell is a nervous writer ; and we could have forgiven even a longer halting to end in such a vigorous condemnation of the bread-tax. " Let us, then," says Lord John Russell, in words which will carry joy and hope from one end of the United Kingdom to the other—" Let us, then, unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of corn me. ce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people."
