I.—The accounts br,Jught by the latest pro vincial journals are, in the aggregate,by far the most favour able tat have been received since the first appearance of the distemper, and the opinion is gaining ground. " that the injury sustained will prove to be,. - very short of what was ap prehended, and the groat alarm and excitement created con siderably exaggerated, and in. 'many instances for interested purposee." ; Such is the view now entertained of the subject by a Repeal paper (the Cork Reporter), and having made the candid admission that the panic was kept up, if not created, for as i "interested purpose," it will scarcely answer hereaftee to charge those who, from the outset, were inclined to take a less gloomy view of the prospect, with being actuated by factions motives in their opposition to sh e reiterated cry of impend ing famine. There is .a wide difference between actual star vation and temporary scarcity—the latter being of itself an evil of sufficient magnitude to justify the precaution of any Government sincerely disposed to take measures for avert ing what, in Ireland, must be regarded as a national ca lamity. The reports from Cork, Kerry, Wexford, and some districts of the north, an speak of the gradual subsidence cf the disease which, from whatever cause, appears to have re• calved a decided check: ; and there is every hope that from the great abundance the crop, and admitting that the average loss all ov(z the' kingdom would amount to one fourth of the whole„ enough will remain to preclude the pos sibility of an actua.i dearth of this essential article of food. Several other provincial papers have given less favourable accounts. LIVERPOOL, DEC: 2, there would probably be produced a ' pressure from with out' which no Government would be able to resist. Those who have proposed or supported measures which are in their nature destructive to the interests of British industry, or who, disapproving of those measures, bad not the courage to oppose them, will bear the entire and exclusive reaprisibilit of the result. The intense and intolerable misery winch all the productive classes would suffer under a general applica tiou of free trade might, as a natural, if note neceisay con sequence, produce a wcial revolution, and the rights of pri vate ;property in laud, which already are openly assailed, might then be openly attacked, and property of every de scription might afterwards become the object of spoliation.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 2. _ _ _ POSITION OF ['HE CORN-LAM' QUESTION. (From the Eclectic Review for December.) Another heave has been given to the progress of the corn-law question, by circumstances which .man cannot regulate, but on the occurrence of which or something similar, he was as much bound to calculate, as sea-going man is to be provided with the means 'of reefing his , sails, in the knowledge that though none can foretOl the precise period of a gale, a gale at some time is in the first class of certainties. A failure has been announced in the potato crop ; thus reducing the numerous class who in the language of ecclesiastical dignitaries "rejoice in potatoes," t o t r y w h a t th ey can make of mortifying upon wheaten flour, after the counsels of that celebrated French princess, who said, that sooner than (lie like the people who starved for want of bread, she would live on macaroons. And this is backed up by continually ac cumulating reports, that the wheat harvest in most parts of the country is defective either in quantity or quality, and that the other countries of Europe, with the anim portaut exception of Denmark, are buffering under at least a jealousy of short supply. And here it is that our quarter-deck people have con trived to move a step towards the solution of the ques tion. A belief is clearly among the crew, that a gale of 'wind is coming on, and a winter's night in prospect , makes it doubly important to prepare. Of the officers some take one side and some the other ; but there is shrewdly surmised to be an interest among them in keeping things as they are. In some way or other the sensibility of their breeches' pockets is suspected to be involved in denying the danger, and carrying sail through all, though at the risk of sending the masts over the side, when they are supposed to count upon having the boats at their disposal, and escaping the de struction which is to fall on the ignoble herd. In this state of things the chief mate—(for the captain is too great a personage to have anything personally to say to it., nor would much difference be made by the fact if it took place)—the chief mate holds a council—half a dozen councils—hour after hour of precious time expended on each. By this be recognises to the fullest, extent, that there is a popular belief—a creed among the unaccounted vulgar, who are to go the bottom in the event of,ill success, without a boat to help them—that a gale is close at hand.

REPEAL ASSOCIATION. The usual weekly meeting of the members of this body was held to day at one o'clock, iu the Conciliation-hall, and was rather thinly attended. Mr. O'Connell, who was at a meeting of the Corporatioei at an early hour, nude his ap pearance in his alderir,Etic robes and cocked hat, and was accompanied by Mr. O'Brien, M.P., Mr. J. O'Connell, M.P., and several of the Less prominent members of the Committee. Upon the motion of the Learned Gentlemen, the chair was taken by Mr.. ichard A. Fitzgerald, M.P. for the county of Tipperary. The CHA _mews briefly addressed the meeting, and handed in 2/. as his own subscription and that of his infant son, for the present year. He said, that since he last had the honour of attending in his place in that Hall, he had trevsSiled over a great part of Europe, and he was happy at being enabled to state that there was a strong Peeling in favour of the struggle Irishmen were making to `restore to their country her Parliament; while, at the aline time, he never heard anything urged which did not fully bear out the doctrine preached by their great leader—" peace and perseverance."—(Hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman having in very warm language expressed the indignation he felt, as a Roman Catholic, at being obliged to take the oaths put to Members of his religion upon taking their seats in the British Senate, went on to say, that he felt some difficulty on his way home to decide as to whether he should remain in London and watch the proceedings of the Legislature upon Irish affairs, without meddling in anything English, or come home and take hie place in the Conciliation-hall, .the repre sentative assembly of Ireland.—(Cheers.) His decision was, however, in favour of Irel an d. H e was a peace f u l ag i tator; yet, if the necessity arose for it, his arm would not be want ing to protect his fellow -countrymen from unjust oppression and. tyranny.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL said, he was deeply affected at being Coliged, in the discharge of his duty, to announce the death of his Hon. Friend Mr. Hutchinson, whose last subscription was acknowledged on the previous day they met. It was at all times a melancholy task to make such an announcement, but particularly so when it referred to a patriot, who was an influential member of a bigoted Conservative family.(Hear.) Mr. O'Bnieer also expressed his deep regret at the loss which. Ireland had sustained by the Hon. Gentleman's death, and took the opportunity of noticing a subject he had re ferred to on the previous Monday. He had stated that an eminent barrister was obliged to cease from practising in the Court of Chancery, owing to the overbearing impudence of Sir Edward Sugden, and he had mentioned the cause and other particulars concerning the cessation. Now, he (Mr. O'Brien) had since beard that his information was incorrect, and in justice to his Lordship he felt bound to state it pub licly ; at the same t i me h e could not b ut still give expression ' to the general feeling of the Bar upon the subject generally. As far as he (Mr. O'Brien) was personally concerned, he always found Sir Edward Sugden most polite, and he would be most happy to see him on the English Chancery Bench, which he had heard was likely to be vacant by the retire ment of Lord Lyndhurst, and they would place in his stead a member of the Irish bar, of Conservative politics, whose ap pointment would give universal satisfaction.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'CONZiELL added his testimony in favour of the gentleman Alluded to by Mr. O'Brien, as being qualified to till the ()Mee of Chancellor in Ireland, observing that the pre sent. Chancellor was not less impudent, because he had failed to oblige him to give up practising in his Court ; and then reoceeded to apologise for appearing in his corporate robes, , rlleging, as his excuse, that he had been at the meeting of the Corporation, to propose Alderman Keshan as the Repeal Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, which appointment w as seconded by Alderman Kinahama, , Conservative member of the Council, whom he said he was ready to propose himself next year, if he only decla re d f or a d omest i c Legislature.—(Hear.) The Learned Gentlemau then went on to allude to the letter of the Times Commissioner, dated from Kerry, and said he knew no one to whom he should feel under greater obliga tions, for his fabrications had shown him (Mr. O'Connell) that he was mistaken as to his opinion of the Irish Tory press ; and from what that press had in justice, done for him, during the last fortnight, he would beat them out in kindness, and for the future—no matter what they said of him—no matter how much they abused him—ho would never say a word against them; and amongst those papers to which he felt most particularly obliged were—the Evening Moil and Evening Packet.—(Hear, hear.) He (Mr. O'Con nell) was now done for ever with the " gutter" Commissioner, whose rascally paper had not the common honesty to publish his defence in full, after publishing a grossly libellous attack ; but the secret of it was, that the Irish Conservative gentle • man was a man of honour, while the writers of the English Conservative Journals were the most calumnious liars that ever lived.—(Cheers). Mr. O'Butex next addressed the meeting, in bringing up a report oa the grand jury law from the committee; and in doing so took occasion to allude to the present state of Ire land. He first referred to the failure of the potato crop, and again, for the last time, called on the Government to conic forward and provide against the starvation of the Irish people, suggesting as the only remedy that the ports should be thrown open, and rice, fish, corn, and other provisions purchased, and stores for the poor, who should be provided with employment, to enable them to pay for their own sup port, and be under no compliment to England for anything. —(Hear, hear.) To purchase provision without calling on the English people he would suggest an absentee-tax of 25 per cent., and a property-tax, to include all theme whose „property was rated above 501. per annum under the poor-law valuation.—(Cheers.) Something it was plain, should be done for the people would n o t s t arve ; and that " something" should be, in the first instance, to open the ports. The question had been agitated in England, and the corn-law question was also engrossing much attention, for within the past week Lord John Russell had joined with the members of the Anti-Corn-law League, and on most import ant terms.—(Hear.) Mr. Cobden, Mr. Villiers, and other leading members of that body, bad publicly announced that they would support no party that did not act with them on the corn-law question ; and rn conformity with that announce ment his Lordship had joined them,—and they would, no doubt, endeavour to merge the question of repeal in the corn-law question. Mr. O'CONNELL.—Never.—(Loud cries of " Never, never.") Mr. O'Coxseee then read an article from the Morning Chronicle, in which the propriety of erecting a statue to Cromwell in the new Houses of Parliament was vindicated, and went over the old farce which has been re-enacted each week for some months past, of the Wexford slaughter, &c., to show that he was a man of the most bloodthirsty and profligate character, and thus unfitted to be preserved in the recollection of the English people.—(Hear.) In conclusion, he gave notice that on the next day of meeting he would go fully into the foreign and domestic state of Ireland, and lay before the Association an Act of Parliament, to enable her Majesty to summon her Irish Parliament. The rent was then announced to be 262/. 7s. 30., and the meeting, at four o'clock, adjourned till Monday next. LEEDS, DEc. 2.

In this position of things, what does our Palinurus, chief of all with the exception of the seed of the gods that tenants the state cabin, finally decide on? lie de cides, that though the growling of the coming storm is not reduced but heightened, and without a shadow of reason to show except that the gentlemen do not like it, he will say we will go on as we are, and if the gale comes and all effort at taking in a reef is too late, we will read the Prayer for Fair Weather as by law established, and put the officers into the boats when the rest must clearly go down. In this state of being " doubly armed," end with the certainty that the abolition of restrictions on the provi vision of food must come hereafter, because it does not come now, it is time for those to be looking about them, who are the enemies not only of the evil principle im mediately concerned, but of other evil principles which hang by it and own a common origin. In public ques tions, which can only be settled by the gradual prepon-. derance of opinion under whatever disadvantages ex -1 pressed, there is very little use in the concealment which may be prudence in more limited concerns. The adver sary " knows his strength, and we know ours." Lord Ashley's declaration is decisive on this point. Instead of being an indication of personal weakness, as in some quarters unwisely intimated, it was the cool decraratic•n of a good officer, taking a leader's view of the field, and counselling the taking up of the inferior position, be cause the higher was no longer tenable. Such a moment was no time for discussing the principles of a cense ; all men are supposed to have made up their minds on these before they present themselves to a contest. A good leader does not request his followers to throw themselves into a gulph because their came is good; he does what is much more likely to be of use, desires them to take up a contracted position which he points out. The time then seems come, when, as Meuse Head- rigg invited the Life Guards under Claverhouse in their retreat, the enemy may be called upon to " tarry," and be in no hurry to get away from the consequence's of his defeat. There is more to be done with hire, before, he is quit ; why will he not stand like a man, and de fend his grand position, or else quietly give up -the others which will be found to hang by it?. The corn laws were not merely enactments for finding portions for the ruling classes' daughters ; they were th e ban ner, the cockade, the representative by concentration, of their general right of wrong. If it is once discovered ' that the ruling classes cannot keep their corn-laws, a a host of questions they "may not look upon," will be gathering fast about them, each grimmer and more ab horrent to them than its p re d ecessor . Nothing is more certain than that the maintenance of wrongs at large depends on the invulnerability of each particular one. The boy who would not say A because he knew he should bo asked to say B, is the true and only type for the policy of wrong-doers. Why not hold out a little longer? Is it not plain that the corn-laws are in the fact of being surrendered, and legions of strange aspect, 4 leaving no hope to the claimants of the marriage por tions but from their quarrelling with one &other, are standing on the slip for the first entry at the beach that shall be made? If the monopoly of the bread that perishes cannot maintain itself, what sanctuary can be, depended on, where the suffering genius of wrong may hide the sorrows of her pocket and her heart ? The League, with vast resources in possession and almost boundless ones behind, has made an inroad into the fortress of misrule, and as regards the county regis. ration, may be said to have recover e d th e Constitution. Not a man who has an honest purpose bat may take advantage of the expensive machinery here established to his hand, and march in to take his own share of the recovered power, if he can only stomach cheap bread •as an accompaniment. It is, therefore, for all that con ceive themselves wronged, to Blake a part in the move ment ; and if they do not, they are not men who know how to shut their mouth when a good thing is pfts into it. There may be battles after the battle of Armaged don ; but a man will not be the worse for having been there, and on the right side. Of course, when the League bas m ined its point, there will be a great brealing-up into it biultiplicity of directions ; Ptolemies of all kinds, parcelling out the empir e o f th e defunct Alevander. But nothing is clearer than that they will have gained by the previous union, and not lost. Darius, then, must settle his affairs with the Macedonian as he can ; and when that scene of the play is played, his successors may count on finding the Ptolemies in positions of theft own. EARL STANHOPE AND THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE FARMERS. The following is a copy of a letter addressed by the Right Hon. Earl Stanhope to Mr. Twiss, Secretary to the Cam bridgeshire Farmers' Association, in reply to an invitation sent to his Lordship : " Chevening, near Sevenoaks, Nov. 26. " Sir,—l am favoured to-day with your letter, inviting me to attend the 'dinner of the Cambridgeshire farmers on the 16th of January next, and I need not assure you that I have always been most anxious to 00-operate whinny countrymen in defending their rights and interests ; but I received from them so little support that my exertions in Parliament were utterly useless, and I. have therefore retired for the present from public life. The circumstances which induced me to form that determination are fully explained in my letter to Mr. Wing, of Aylesbury, which was published in the Morn ing Post of the 21st of April last, and it would be unneces sary to repeat them. It would also be superfluous for me to advert to the opinions which I have so frequently expressed, both in and out of Parliament, on the necessity of securing full and effectual protection to British industry in all its various branches ; fur those opinions ought to be well known, and I have reason to believe that they are approved by the great ma.;ority of my countrymen. " It does not appear from your letter that the Cambridge shire farmers require my advice, which could be of no ser vice to them unless it was followed, and this was not the case on former occasions, of my assistance, which would be alto gether unavailing unless they propose to act in concert with other counties in a combined plan of operations, and to co operate with other classes of the community in order to obtain that redress of their grievances which they have an undoubted right to demand. I think, therefore, that my presence at the dinner would not be useful, and I must beg to decline the invitation with which they have honoured me. " It is the duty, not only of the farmers in Cambridgeshire, but also of all those who are interested in agriculture, whe ther as landlords, as tenants, or as labourers, in every part of the United Kingdom, to consider what is their present si tuation, and what are their future prospects. " The free-trade policy of the present Ministers, who would never have been restored to power if their new corn-laws and their new tariff had been expected by those who sup ported them at the last general election—the base and treacherous and unprincipled conduct of so many of their adherents, who, by an utter disregard of their promises and professions, have covered themselves with indelible dis grace, an justly incurred the hatred or contempt of their fellow-citizens—the indefatigable: exertions and reckless at tempts which are made by some enemies of the corn-laws, and the culpable supineness of the agricultural ',;ammunity, which seems at present to be quite benumhtit and paralyzed, o_7..cing this country in a o tl f te t e h e e c u ir t c rn um os s t ta d n a c n es ger c , ozr i, i . n `7o often, but Si) ineffectually, re which it could be rescued —alls ta l y commended, —by en4:21•1•52 and union. Patriotism and public spirit appear to be "aimost extinct, an that which I have d those who are unable to see the perils V,th which they are surrounded on all sides, or who are 'unwilling to adopt adequate measures to avert them, ', nay at last be Instructed by experience and the evi dwee of facts. • HORTICULTURAL SOCIETT.—The last meeting for the year was held yesterday afternoon, at the rooms of the society, in Regent-street, when, notwithstainding the advanced period of the season, there was a very supdrior show of both fruits and flowers. The chair was taken by B. W. Barchard, Esq., and the company was numerous. Amongst the fruit; were some fine specimens of black Ilambro' grapes grown in' a house without heat by Mr. Crawshay, Colney Atoll ' s; Queen pine-apples, of good cultivation and large size, from Mr. Birsby, and peaches from Mr. Ware. The fruit from the gardens of the society were, of pears, Glbut Morceau, Ne Plus Meures, Winter Nelis, Bergate Ca dette, which ripens in su ccess i on a ll throughout the winter; and Beurre d'Aremberg, a fruit which differs much in character and properti es , accor di ng as 'it is cultivated ; , and the apples were Golden Reinette, Claygilte, Pear main, Sam Young, Mere de Menage. and Ducnmelon's Seed hng. Amongst the flowers was a collection of orchidacea, amongst which was one of a delicate and powerful odour, the flowers of which are used by the females of Brazil to adorn and scent the hair. There were also three collections of several varieties of chrysanthemums, showing the great im provement which cultivation has made in the appearance of this favourite winter flower. The prizes awarded were silver' Ktightian medals to Mr. Crawshay for gripes, and Mr.. Plumley fur heaths; and silver Banksian medals to Mr. Lawrence for orchidaceous plants, and Mr. Ittgore for a spe cimen plant.

ACCIDENT ON THE EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—On Saturday evening last, about seven o'clock, an accident occurred on the Edinburgh and Glasgow RC way, near the station at Kirkintilloch. On the arrival at that station of the train, which leaves Glasgow at fix o'clock, the five o'clock train being behind time, the engine which generally returns singly was sent to its assistance. It had not gone four or five hundred yards beyond the station, when the engineinan gave the signal that all was not right; 14hen the aters at the station proceeded to the spot they found that a weaver belonging to Waterside, about a mile diatant, had been lying on the line, and the engine had passel over his right leg about the ankle. He was immediagely brought to the station, and medical aid sent for, but the trgik arriving from Edinburgh in the interim it was thought aTiisable to bring him to the infirmary, where, after having his leg anVi tated a little below the knee joint, we understand he rs doing well. No blame can be attached to the railwoi company, as the man had been brought back and previously warriad. He was quite insensible with liquor, and seemed quite un- ' conscious of the damage he had sustained. The engineman saw him only a few yards distant, and brought his engine up, but not until about 100 yards past.--G lasgow Herald. His Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, as we have already stated, embarked on boa r d th e Ingermanland, Russian frigate, on Wednesday last, with the intention of proceeding direct to Italy, but his Imperial Highness has been hitherto prevented from proceeding on his voyage by the prevalence of contrary winds. At the date of the last accounts the Ingermanland had not left the Sound. "I am aware that in some parts of the coun t ry th ere are andfitrmfearlss falsehoods without so f their m e bringnemi enemies, ed by the mis re p resen t a ti ons begin to view w ith indiffer ence a repeal of the corn-laws, as they suppose that it is in evitable, and that it would be less injurious to them if it were immediate than it would be after their capital had been en tirely exhausted. If, indeed, that measure is to be considered as inevitable, from the zeal and perseverance of those who op pose the corn-laws, and from the lamentable torpor of those who ought to support them.;l do not, like Lord Ashley, wish or seek any compromise, in order, as he expresses it, to break the force of an inevitable blow.' On the contrary, if free trade is to be applied with respect to corn, the same principle must also be applied with respect to all ether articles of ge neral con s umpti on , an d t o a ll th e o th e r products of Briti s h industry-, and in such a case let the repeal of all protective duties be immediate and entire. Under such circumstances I say again, as I did in the House of Lords, I throw down the gauntlet, and dare you to the attempt.' The effect would be so violent and so sudden, that even those who are the most supine would be compelled to act, that even those who are the most prejudiced would be convinsed, and LADY VILLIERS.—We are exceedingly baploy to:j state that the accounts received daily in t ow n f rom Upterf House continue very favourable. Her Lauyship has nearly' recovered from her late serious attack of illness. The Bath Corporation has, by a majority of 23 to 14, rejected a proposition for raising the Mayor's salary from 200/. to 300/. per annum. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond and the Ladies Gordon Lennox have arrived in town, from Gordon Castle, North Britain.

THE SUN, _LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER RENEWAL OF NEGOTIATIONS waif BRAZIL FOR THE MORE EFFECTUAL bUPI'RES OF THE SLAVE-TRADE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Jornal do Co-nmercio of Rio de Janeiro, of the . 11th October, announces to the public that M. Galva.) and Mr. Hamilton had been appointed plenipotentiaries on the part of Great Britain and Brazil to conclude a convention which might promote the suppression of the slave-trade without injuring the lawful commerce of the empire. On the next day, the 12th, the following leader appeared in the same paper:— " On the 20th of July last, when we' endeavoured to refute a leading article in the Times of the 15th of May preceding, which sought to impugn the declaration made by the Imperial Government that the convention 'of 1817 had expired, we stated it as our opinion that the Times, in the article referred to, had no other object n view than to induce the Brazilian Government, by hohNng out a threat, to accede to the renewal of stipu lations which should revive the conventions whose ex istence had just terminated. The right which England pretended to arrogate to it ,elf by virtue of the first article of the treaty of 1826 appeared to us so extravagant and extraordinary, we looked upon it us impossible that the statesmen at the head of the affairs of Great Britain should wish to ap pear before the civilised world as sanctioning the putting the threat held out by the Times in force- - When Brazil entered into the convention of 1826, now under consideration, England had already decreed, by an Act of Parliament, that trading in slaves (by British subjects) should be deemed piracy, and, conse quently, the first article of the convention referred to lees not contain a reciprocal or mutual, but a one-sided or partial stipulation. By that article Brazil engaged to dear likewise, the trading in slaves piracy by her municipal laws ; but England came under no new obli gation, because, as we have already stated, she had previously promulgated such a law. This circu ms t ance is of itself a sufficient proof that it was never intended at that time to declare the slave-trade piracy " by the law of nations." If such had been the intention, the Brazilian negotia tors most certainly would not have agreed to an ar ticle imposing a one-sided obligation, that is, on Brazil alone, inasmuch as the slave-trade not being deemed piracy in England by the law of nations, but merely by the law of the land, it would have been necessary, to have rendered it piracy by the former, that the obli gation should be the same on both the contracting parties. It is unnecessary to extend our arguments on this point; we shell. therefore, confine ourselves to asserting, for the second time, that if the first article of the con vention of 1826 gave England the right, as the Times terms it, exceeding that of a belligerent, th e secon d an d third articles of that convention would have been wholly unnecessary which put in force the convention entered into with Portugal in 1817, establishing the right of visit, search, and detention, and creating the mixed Commissions for deciding the cases of vessels so de tained for a definite period. As an irrefragable proof that England does not pos sess the right she arrogates to herself, we need only refer to the very reasoning the Times itself resorts to in insisting on such right. Proposition—" The first article of the treaty of 1826 gives her Majesty the right to order all Brazilians found on the high seas, engaged in the slave-trade, to be seized and punished as pirates, and to dispose of the vessels on board which they were taken as bona piratorum." Proof—" This is the interpretation which the states men and legal authorities of England give to the first article of the convention, and nobody can dispute its correctness." Let the English statutes (canons) speak for them selves, and the English jurisconsults supply the reason. Notwithstanding the conclusiveness of this lin e of argument of the Times, it nevertheless seeks a justifica tion for the violent measure the British Government was about to adopt, by alleging that nothing but an imperious necessity could induce that Government to avail itself of so rigorous a measure; and asserts that such necessity anises from -Ist. The negligence of the Brazilian Government in fulfilling the obligations it incurred. 2d. The eagerness it evinced to avail itself of the first pretence it had for considering the stipulations of 1817 null and void. 3d. The having rejected systematically all the propo sitions made by the English Government for the more effectual suppression of the slave-trade. If there are any grounds for the first imputation, all the blame rests with the "English" Government. The acts of violence to which alone it has had recouree for the suppression of the trade, have irritated the Bra zilian population to such a degree, that the Imperial Government has found its impracticable to adopt those efficacious measures which alone can put a stop to the trade in the interior. The Times and the English legal authorities are well aware that a sincere and efficient co operation on the part of this country would be more conducive to the putting down the trade, than all the virulent means practised by the British cruisers; but the habits of force and coercion which England cannot divest herself of, preclude her from recurring to those means by which only she can obtain such necessary co operation. As to the second allegation, namely, that Brazil eagerly seized the first opportunity which offered to get rid of the stipulations of 1817, we assert that Brazil did ao more than she had a right to do. She acted agree- Ible to the stipulations then in force, if, under the eoloar of those stipulations, so much violence was exer cised, not only against the illicit, but likewise against the lawful, commerce of this country; if it was always im possible to obtain redress on any occasion for the acts bf piracy committed by the English cruisers, not only an vessels engaged in lawful foreign commerce, but like wise on coasting craft; if the sentences of the mixed Commissioners, adjudging indemnification for damages and losses sustained, were never carried into execution by the English Government; if, latterly, the British Commissary-Judges have taken no notice of the instruc tions contained in the convention of 1817, but have acted on instructions received from their own Govern ment without their having been communicated to the Biavgian Cabinet, it is, indeed, most extraordinary thafihe endeavours of the Brazilian authorities to get rid of a system so prejudicial to its commerce should, by any possibility, servo as a pretext for acts of increased violence. The third allegation, that is, of the Brazilian Govern ment having systematically rejected all the overtures made it by the English Government for the more effec tual suppression of the slave-trade, is absolutely false. On the 27th of July, 1835, some additional articles to the convention adopted by the treaty of 1826 were signed by M. Alves Branco and Mr. Fox, the which were laid before the Chamber of Deputies, because they could not be ratified by the Regency without the appro bation of the legislative body. The first "Majority Ministry " examined those " additional articles," and came to a conclusion, that they could not be ratified as they were then drawn up, since they wetuld tend to the complete annihilation of the lawful commerce of the empire, for they would have established such eases as would have been considered prima facie ground for the condemnation of any Bra zilian vessel whatever. The Imperial Government, in consequence, proposed to Mr. Ouseley a modification of those "additional articles" in such manner that they should put an end to the slave-trade, without, however, oppressing or ruining the lawful trade. Mr. Ouseley declared himself ready to acquiesce in such a modifica tion, but, on the Senator Senhor Lopes Gama having been nominated plenipotentiary on the part of Brazil to treat with Mr. Ouseley in order to arrive at a defini tive settlement, Mr. Ouseley, after a great many ter giversations, confessed that he was not furnished with the requisite "full powers " to enter into such a nego tiation. On this occasion Senhor Lopes Gama had irawn up the rough draft of a treaty to serve as a basis for such negotiation, which rough draft was commu nicated to Mr. Ouseley—a substantial proof to all the world of the good faith of the Imperial Government. Things remained in this state till 1842, when Mr. fiamiltsen presented a new proposition, which he asserted was based on the draft made by Senhor Lopes Gama ; but, in fact, the proposition of Mr. Hamilton diverged, in the most essential points, from that of Senhor Lopes Gama, and these divergencies would have given a death-blow to our licit trade: consequently it was inadmissible. Taking this very succinct but most faithful exposition into due consideration, the civilised world will be able to decide whether it was the Imperial Government which systematically resigned the offers made by that of Eng land for the more efficacious suppression of the slave trade, or if it was not the English Government that systematically sought to sacrifice the lawful commerce of na ti o n (its friend) to its projects with respect to the slave-trade. ;; s ed to all the poi n ts i n We believe we have now rep the article of the Times alluded to deesZviog of notice. The rest consists of a declaration very common-place, on thie inhumanity of the slave-trade, but which coselea with a bad grace from those who, for many years, carried it on with the most atrocious cruelty—from those who forced such an infarious traffic on their own colonies— from those who, not long ago, under pretence of pro meqag the prosperity of its Asiatic agriculturists, com pellad the Chinese to receive, at the point of the bayonet, a poigon that brutalises and kills them. The English authorities, so long as the slave-trade was useful to the nation, permitted it, without reference to those principles of humanity which now agitate their busoms. The same zeal which they then displayed to supply other countries with slaves, they now exercise in suppressing the trade in them ; but their motive is evi dently more of a commercial and political character than Etcra humane one. In fine, we are free to acknowledge that humanity would be greatly benefited if England could carry her point s and that Brazil ought to assist her by the stipula tions of the first article of the convention of 1826, and by all the means in her power endeavour to extinguish the demand for slaves in the interior of the empire, which no doubt feeds the trade. But as England recurs solely to force and violence, thus, under pretext of suppressing a trade the municipal law of Brazil should consider to be piracy, she herself commits an act of piracy (that is, the right which the Times calls " exceeding that of a bel ligerent"). We are led to believe that, so long as those acts of violence shall continue, it does not behove the Brazilian Government to use the least exertion in ren dering assistance. Such exertions, which would expose the Brazilian Gtvernment to great unpopularity, and, perhaps, lead t9atesistance in the interior, can only take place on ofa mutual good understanding ; but as England, instead harmony, has substituted violence, and relies entirely thereon, fancying that placing the Brazilian Govern ment in disrepute would promote the object it feigns to have in view, we are of opinion that the Imperial Govern ment, protesting against the proceedings of the British Gsaugnment, ought to consider the treaty of 1826 broken unenhat Government, being wadeceived, shall fig,4 that BRISTOL, DEC. 2.

I shall feel greatly obliged if you will have the goodness to notice this in a prominent part of your next paper, and to give it the most positive contradiction, as the documents before referred to were all safely deposited on Saturday, the 29th ultimo, both at the Boaril of Trade and the several places requisite to do so, to comply with the standing orders of Parliament, in order that all parties interested in the undertaking, and the public generally, may be correctly in formed upon this mattcr.—l remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, W.

Jenny St. Leon, who was announced to perform at the Strand Theatre last night, we beg, in justice to that lady, to contradict the asser tion that she " disappointed at the last moment." Her name should not have been inserted in the bills, we having made known to the management on Saturday morning that Madlle. Jenny St. Leon would not under any circumstances appear at the Strand Theatre.—Your obedient servants, TURNOUR and lIOLLINGSWORTH. December 3, 1845. THE LATE MIDLAND RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The inquiry into the causes of the death of Police-sergeant Stubbs, which was adjourned in order to have the evidence of Walker, the stoker of the pilot-engine, was resumed on Monday afternoon last, at three o'clock, in the Council chamber of the Court-house, Leeds. Walker was in attend ance at the time required, havingbeen brought from Brighton, where he has been residing since his discharge from the ser vice of the Midland Company. His evidence of the progress of the pilot-engine, up to the place where the collision took place, corresponded in every material particular with his de position at the inquest on Mr. Boteler. On that occasion he stated, that as they were coming up to the mail-train a white light was seen, and continued to be exhibited up to the time of the accident taking place. It was afterwards suggested that this might have been a green light, which at a distance had the appearance of a white one, and Walker had gathered his impression respecting it when at a considerable dis tance from the mail train. Upon this question he was strictly examined, at the adjourned inquest on Monday last, by Mr. Blackburn, the Coroner, but he made a very confused state ment as to the use of signals. It was evident that he was, in a great measure, ignorant of the rules laid down by the Mid land Company for the use of signals, and he could scarcely be expected to be otherwise, for he said he was a very bad reader, and the rules had never been read over to him. He was clearly deficient in every important part of his duty, and grossly incompetent to be entrusted with any portion of the management of a railway locomotive engine. Ho asserted that the red lights were seen by him and Wheatley half a mile distance from the train before them, and from that time they did everything they could to stop their engine, although he afterwards admitted that an engine going at their speed could be stopped in 300 yards. This statement being in itself a decided contradiction, and his testimony in other respects so ,very equivocal, the Coroner said he thought himself scarcely justified in continuing his examination. Eventually the jur3 decided to dismiss from their minds this man's evi dence. Time Coroner then made some suitable observations upon the evidence; after which the jury consulted together, and returned a verdict of" Manslaughter" against the driver, Thomas Wheatley. Sir Isaac Morley and Mr. Houldsworth, two of the Midland Directors, were present at this adjourn ment of the inquest. PRICE OP GOLD.—The premium on gold at ?aria is 12 per mills, which , at the English Mint price CZ 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex c h ange o f 25 45 ; and the exchange at Paris on Londea at short being ce'At. dearer in London urgh, the price of gold 25 60, it follows that gold is 0 . 59 per than in Paris. By advices from is 4331 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9}; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 10, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburgh. Sir Henry Pottinger, whilst her Britannic Ma jesty's Plenipotentiary in China, presented a silver cup, weighing upwards of 130 cameos, to Captain W. Warden, commanding the East India Company's steam-frigate Queen, in the Chinese seas, as a special token of his regard and esteem for his public services at that time.

Dr. Holmes is an American, and we Lave repeatedly been told that he was " a secdnd Tom Hood." We have read this volume of his poems, collected by a London pub lisher, and find that although it contains many humour ous poems, by far the best are those gravely written upon serious subjec!s. We looked for a mere humourist, —a man who could be funny, and play upon words—a writer who carried on a Pun-ic war against gravity, and, 10l we find that, though he does all this (and does it well, too), be does far better thing's. In fact, with th,. exception of Bryant, Longfellow, and Mrs. Sigourney, we find that America has not a better poet than thi Oliver Wendell Holmes. He has much uisappointed —very agreeebiy. We have done very little more, as yet, than glane, through the book. Poetry, to be fully enjoyed, must. b, read again and again, to bring out the hidden meaning, to show the music of the rhythm, t o d eve l ope the balance,: adaptation of the words to the expression of the thought. The first perusal of fine poetry, such as fills the velum, before us, is unsatisfying: it fills us with pleasure, but disarms criticism. Nor when we have drank in tto beataies when the heart expands with the nobi, th oug h ts w hi c h Geni us has poured out upon the page— can we coolly sit down to weigh the charm in the nicely - adjusted balances oF Criticism ; but, even if wet did sub feet these poems to such a trial, few faults could be de!ected. Dr. Holmes is a writer of whom America has every reason to be ?road. The first and longest piece, entitled " Poetry," was written, we bdieve, before its author had reached the age of three-and -twenty. Thus, in that piece, does Dr. Holmes tell us how general is the power which he at once possesses and illustrates:— " There breathes no being but has some pretence To that tine instinct called poetic sense : The rudest savage, roaming through the wild; The simplest rustic, bending o'er his child; The infant, list'ning to the warbling bird, The mother, smiling at its half-formed word; The boy uncaged, who tracks the fields at large; The girl, turned matron to her babe-like charge; The freeman, casting with unpurchased hand The vote that shakes the turrets of the land; 'The slave, who, slumbering on his rusted chain, Dreams of the palm-trees, on his burning plain ; The hot -checked reveller, tossing down the wine, To join the chorus pealing Auld lang syne ;' The gentle maid, whose azure eye grows dim, While .Heaven is listening to her evening hymn; 'The jewell'd beauty, when her steps draw near 'The circling dance and dazzling chandelier; E'en trembling age, when s p r i ng ' s renewing air Waves the thin ringlets of his silver'd hair ; All, all are glowing with the inward flame, Whose wider halo wreathes the poet's name, While, unembalmed, the silent dreamer dies, His memory passing with his smiles and sighs. If glorious visions, born for all mankind, The bright auroras of our twilight mind; If fancies, varying as the shapes that lie Stained on the windows of the sunset sky; If hopes, that beckon with delusive gleams, Till the eye dances in the void of dreams; If passions, following with the winds that urge Earth's wildest wanderer to her farthest verge; If these on all some transient hours bestow Of rapture tingling with its hectic glow, Then all are poets; and if earth had rolled Her myriad centuries, and her doom were told, Each moaning billow of her shoreless wave, Would wail its requiem o'er a poet's grave! " If to embody in a breathing word Tones that the spirit trembled when it heard; To fix the image ali unveiled and warm, And carvo in language its ethereal form, So pure, so perfect, that the lines express No meagre shrinking, no unlaced excess ; To feel that Art, in living truth, has taught Ourselves, reflected in the sculptur'd thought ; If this alone bestows the right to claim The deathless garland and the sacred name, Then none are poets, save the saints on high, Whose harps can murmur all that words deny." If this be not poetry, and of a high order, we know nothing of our art, and can only wonder where, how, and by whom it can easily be surpassed. THE CURRENCY. Amid the multitudinous din of Corn-law repeal', railway and potato privies, and other agitations which prevail, we hear the clear and steady voices of sc nta thinking men rai se d to di rect public attention to our national system of c urrency as an evil of far greater ' magnitude, and requiring more immediate reform than any other subject of public administration. More numerous and more frequent do these voices become every day. In almost every one of the numerous papers which have sprung up in support of the railway interest do we find able disquisitions on the subject of currency, in which the recent panic or sudden check which has been given to all enterprise, and the conse quent indiscriminate depreciation of railway property, are clearly traced to the mischievous operation of our money laws, and to the designs of selfish and interested parties, who profit and enrich themselves thereby at tho expense of the general body of the community. Severer of tee provincial journals follow in the same strain. In assemblies of commercial men accidentally brought to gether the subject is often mooted ; and in societies where public debates are held (fir instance, in the Coger's Hall, in St. Bride's-lane, in this City), it is a theme of disetnsion which excites equal, if not greater interest, than the repeal of the corn-laws. In deed in this Hall it is felt that the two subjects of corn and currency are co•relative, and that no legislation should take place respecting the one without the other being included. On this point the editor of the Barkers' Circular, of the 28th ult., says, "Firm in our own faith—rendered additionally firm and conclusively fixed by the circumstances and events of this period of time, we have a thorough conviction that a short ex perience of fete trade, under our existing monetary ,y s . t.m, would cause all the manufacturing districts to pay for a deliverance from the effects of free trade." And( if we r.:4:y judge ftoin the resuscitation, during the iass toe days, of Sir James Graham's celebrated pamphlet on '`Corn and Currency," by the Times, and the comments e) f the pi ni , on editor ‘sit ii the flasher.,' c c a j i o t Ur i s n journal n coincides u lit . pesed that the Tines is the organ of the bullionise party. But we cannot suppose it is ready wholly to 'ere entice the landed interest of the kingdom ; and, there fore, if the corn-laws be doomed, we infer that it would become the advocate of an amended cur rency talapeed to such an altered state of things. Under this view, its recent articles, which it premi,es to continue, may be regarded as a prelusory to a future decided advocacy of an amended money law whenever the proper time arrives. It is not only in the daily and weekly journals we find these indications of a growin pinion that our present system of money is un sound, but in those more deliberate emanations of the press, the monthly and quarterly periodicals, in one or ether of which there is always one or more articles eon denznatary of Sir Robert Peel's monetary legislation— never any in favour of it. All this is beginning to have its effect. There can be to question—indeed, we know-- that many members of the League are convinced of the pernicious influence of Peel's money laws, but refrain from diverting the weir tion of that powerful body from the single object they have in view, and which they have have so strenuously - end undeviatingly pursued. But what is of considerable importance is, that in the Conservative Clubs at the West-end the subject hail been introduced ; and in the agricultural protection societies there are many of the most intelligent of these, bodies who are now thoroughly satisfied that the policy of the agriculturists clearly is, that in the event of Sir Robert Peel attempting to remove, or even in any degree further to lessen, protection, they should insist contem poraneously for a reform of the currency. To the persevering efforts of Mr. Thomas AttwoocE and the Birmingham economists to awaken public at tention to the enormous wrong inflicted on the people by Peel's restriction of the currency—to the enlightened and philosophical writings of Mr. John Taylor, by far the most learned and luminous writer of the day on the subject—and to the disinterested and patriotic proceed ings of the Society for the Emancipation of Industry,. established for the purpose of diffusing knowledge of his principles, and bringing them to a practical bearing, are we indebted for the progress which has been made in the public mind in arriving at clear notions on the subject, and for those symptoms which betoken the adoption, era long, of a totally different system of money from what is at present established.- The discussion brought on at the close of last session of Parliament by Mr. Spooner and Mr. Newdegate, is tkit be renewed early in the ensuing session ; and we anti cipate not merely the adhesion of a numerous body of Members to their views, but a very great excitement out of doors on the subject, for every day a knowledge of it is spreading not only in the middle classes, but amongst working men, by means of those journals which are po pular with them, and in which the "fatal" effects of our present currency on the industry of the country are illustrated in a very talented and lucid manner, cif - noting a the?ough knowledge of the whole subject on the part of the conductors of these journals. It will be recollected that, in the course of the debate referred to, Sir Robert Peel took occasion to raise a laugh among his supporters by sneering at the work of Mr. Allison, the learned historian of Europe, entitled, England in 1815 and in 1845; or, a Sufficient awl Contracted Currency Compared." Mr. Allison has recently published a " Postscript " along with a seeond edition, in which he notices the observations with which the Premier was pleased to honour his work. A corn- pleter refutation, a more thorough exposure of ignorance and quackery than Mr. Allison's reply to the Premier, we do not recollect of any public man ever being visitud. with ; and we predict that, on the next occasion, Sir Robert will exhibit a little more modesty thau be did when he ventured to sneer at Mr. Allison. But this is not all. Not only are men wishing a re form of the national currency—not only are all reflective men engaged in business convinced of the necessity of something being done to protect them against those, periodical convulsions by which their property is sacri ficed, in order to uphold the credit of an exclusive corpo ration. whose capital does not exceed 14,000,000 L, and to enable a few Jew jobbers to profit by the ope ration, and which can only be done by breaking: asunder the golden bands with which Peel's legis lation has bound them but they are beginning to have glimpses of A mighty power which has been hitherto allowed to lie dormant, and which power consists in an extensive mercantile association, mid enlightened organisation of mutual credit, independent altogether of the Legislature, whose sanction is not necessary for its successful working ; for although it is the prerogative of Government to fix and determine the. Icgal tender money of the country as the common mea sure of value, yet with commercial-obligations to pay any amount in that money, Government has no right whatever to interfere. Interfere it may arbitrarily, but constitutionally, on principle, it dare 'hot interfere. The numerous exchange companies lately established in. Scotland, in defiance of, and to set at naught, Peel's banking monopoly, created in 1844, and the railway banks which have been projected, are illustrative of ass consciousness of this power. Only let a proper ma chinery for its working, be devised, and we are satisfied as wonderful a power will have been evoked in the moral world for the distribution of the products of industry, and the comfort, happiness, and enjoyment of tle great body of the people, as the application of steam, through the inventive genius uf Watt, was in the material world, with all its appliances, minute and gigantic, and which only require the "com plement" of a scientific currency or effective distributive agent to make these appliances subservient to the uses and enjoyments of all the people instead of the instru ments for enriching a few, and erecting a manufacturing and commercial oligarchy more grinding and oppressive to the people then the worst system of feudal vassalage. that ever existed.

The Shaksperians have taken this theatre for six performances, and they commenced their campaign last evening with the Merchant of Venice, Mr. Gregory ap pearing as Shylock. Now, considering that Mr. Gregory was for years the avowed editor of the Satirist news paper, and remembering, moreover, that his appearance, two years since, at Covent-garden, in the character of Hamlet, was rendered memorable by a row, which has not been equalled since the 0. P. riots, it was to have been expected that his a pp earance at the Strand would have given rise to great opposition. The house was crowded long before the commencement of the play, and the appearance of Mr. Gregory as Shylock was the signal for a burst of groans, hisses, and all sorts of unseemly noises ; those were immediately drowned in a most enthusiastic burst of cheering, and it was evident from that moment that the supporters of Mr. Gregory were in the majority. The minority, however, instead of gracefully succumbing after making their pro test, chose to interrupt the performance, and a cry was raised of " Turn them out," which was responded to verbatim et lite, cairn, and sundry of the most noisy of the dissentients were ejected vi et armis. The play was suffered to proceed tolerably quietly until the scene be tween Shylock and Tubal, when the dissentients made a desperate rally. They were, however, again outvoted, and an ejectment by summary process having been served upon some half dozen of them, the play pro ceeded to the end without interruption. At the conclu sion Mr. Gregory was called tor, and was received with three cheers, so that, as faithful reporters, we feel bound to state that his supporters completely drowned his opponents. And now as to Mr. Gregory.s right to claim the homage which is due to one who Is capable of supporti ng th e fi rst range o f ShaksP"ian cha racters. Looking at hi s Sh y l oc k o f l as t night without prejudice—considering it as the Shylock , not ot of Mr. Gregory, but of Mr. Smith, o r of Mr.An y-body-elsethe Kean (anct . wftere could an not actora ser vileh a most promising debl;l ve y bad seen for 3 . . fresh from the provinces—we should say ,ea t r h s a . t it m wassell( hi s part, although, like all yett e upon the Shylock of Edmund nltt was s t actor im fi i i ta id th a L bet l tr wmasodeelvi/, d young actors, he was rather too much intent upon a just conception of making points than upon infusing into the character that unity which is the distinguishing characteristic of perfect artist. Time and practice would make Mr. Gregory a first-rate actor; and as it is, we know not where, even among professional artists we should find a better Shylock—Macready's Shylock is inferior to it in conception, and Charles Dean's is not equal to it in power. With regard to the other characters, all that we will say of them is, that they were supported by amateurs. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF RAILWAY SHARES. — Yesterday information was received by the police that be tween ten and eleven o'clock, on the night of Saturday last, as Mr. Richard Avery, of No. 5, Patton-place, Walworth, was crossing the road from the Alfred's Head to the Elephant and Castle, his coat-pocket was picked of no fewer than 695 railway and other shares. The robbery is supposed to have been committed by two women, of mean appearance, who walked behind Mr. Avery. /-/ 1'74 - r / r ./ SURGERY. Brown, F.
