What a person liku — t if!"• --. 'sri may think or say is of very little moment ; but there is a class whom the Morning Chronicle insults, by assuming the author of " Coningsby " to be its type, who foolishly adopt the opinions ascribed by our Contemporary to the individual in question. The reply of the Morn ing Chronicle to this class is perfectly just— who could have more effectually defended all the great interests of the country than they have been defended by Sir Robert Peel's Govern ment ? The Right Hon. Baronet, it is true, has cutoff some impossible duties from the sliding-scale, that only rendered odious that protecting law ; true, he has re pealed an invidious and perfectly unnecessary pro hibition upon the importation of foreign cattle. Many more things of the same kind has he done ; but mark on the other side what he has prevented— the budget of 1841—prevented it not merely for the time, but permanently. By the corn-law and tariff of 1342, and by the sugar Bill of the present year, the principle of protection is incorporated es sentially in the commercial constitution of the country ; for whatever is bound up with the majority of great interests may be said to be so essentially incorporated ; while the restoration of the public finances to a state of prosperity without example, must take away motive and excuse for a recurrence to such desperate experiments as those attempted by the Whigs in 1841. Some time or other the Whigs will come again into office. We hope and believe the date of the visitation to be very distant, but the revolution of years must be expected to bring round Whig Ministries, as well as pestilence and scarcity, and other calamities, such as accompanied the last Whig decade of adminis tration. When, however, the Whig Administration shall come, the measures of the present Administration will have neutralised its power of evil, extensive as that power must be confessed to be. The principles of protection, once as it were wedded to the strict rule of reason, can never be divorced from that rule. So much protection as is justly due will be always freely conceded, because no more will be asked. " A useful factor" indeed has Sir Robert Peel been to the great interests of the country, and to the country itself, useful to the future as well as to the present.

I can only reply, that such ways are not my ways, and that I could derive no satisfaction from exchanging principle for expediency. So, like a wounded deer, I am discountenanced by the whole herd. "My present position seems to be this. Though a determined upholder of the Church of England and of the State—of Protestantism and of Protestant ascendancy —an undisguised Conservative of the ancient and once admired British Constitution and the institutions of our country—l am disclaimed by those who lam compelled to think should be what I am. The post which I held for many years as the Sovereign's lieutenant in this county, my sovereign was advised to deprive me of, and I was unceremoniously discarded, merely because I dis dainfully resented the molestations of one of her Ma jesty's high officers—and this after having served four sovereigns loyally, faithfully, zealously, and, I hope, efficiently. "You and others may think that I have written bit terly. It may be so ; neither my recollections nor my present situation are very pleasing or flattering. How ever, I may say with the Frenchman—'J'ai tout perdu que mon honneur e and that, I thank God, is preserved to me, and it is a true and lasting consolation—l care for, I want nothing for myself that my Sovereign or a Minister can confer upon me. Fortunately for myself, I am unambitious of power, and best pleased in the en deavour to be a good subject and a good eitizen—and it is well that I am so, as I might not inappropriately liken myself to an infected plague man. For who dares to come in contact with me ? To do anything for my be nefit or advantage would be to render himself suspected, he would immediately be clapped into quarantine, and subjected to potent fumigations, and the severest scru tiny, CLARA SEYTON'S NEW ENTERTAIN MENT.

The DIRECTORS hereby give notice to Members whose Premiums fall due on the sth of April next, that the same must be paid within thirty days from that date. The Premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, on the sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, us Members, on the sth of April next, should appear, or lodge their pro posals, at the Office, on or before that day. So various are the plans now before the public for the Assurance of Life, that it may seem difficult to make choice between them. As, however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the annual premium than experience has hitherto shown to be necessary, but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the fol lowing classification may be made Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and other profits is divided, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders. 2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured. 3d. Offices of a strictly mutual character, where the whole of the profit is equitably distributed amongst the Assured only. The METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established in 1835, and although no paid agents for town or country have at any time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising resorted to, vet its advantages have been. so well appreciated by the public, that the annual premiums already exceed 50,0001. In consequence of the prosperous state of the Society's affairs, the Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing have been re duced Forty-two and a-Half per cent. A plan of the Society, with Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on application, at the Office. RICHARD HEATHFIELD, Superintendent. Princes-street, Bank, March 19, 1845.

The Directors having determined to reduce the charges upon goods and Cattle carried by this Company, and to alter the classificatlox of goods from and after the 24th inst., the public are Informed that the particulars of the new rates and _classes may be known at any of the stations, and printed bills will 14 forwarded to any address by post, upon application made at this Office. It is strongly recommended that all merchandise, packages, or goods, intended for this Railway, should be sent direct to the station, or to one of the appointed receiving-pouses, according to the pub lished list, as the Company cannot be answerable either for the rate of charge, or the punctual transmissson of goods forwarded through other Offices. CHARLES A. SAUNDERS, Secretary. Paddington, March 20, 1845. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. CITY, TUFSDAY EVENING. TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 191 per mills, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 64 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 90, it follows that gold is rather more than 1 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 1011 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 104 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 124, it follows that gold is 1.02 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London is 110 per cent. ; and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.42 per cent. in favour of England ; but the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight, the interest must be added to the above difference. tzt4i 'Lc,!:„,_ _4l „ ESSEX 7 • BEAUTIFUL AND PICTURESQUE VILLA GE OF F.0743EN WITHIN TWO MILES OF COLCHE STER.

It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of Norfolk. that, during heavy gales, the immediate vicinity of Yarmouth Roads is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of England. The number of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton, and especially the Scroby Sands, has long ago induced a hardy, brave, and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of property and life along the coast. A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long, and from 30 to 50 tons burden, hare, at an expense of from 3001. to 4001. each, been-built by tile: joint contributions of the Beachmen, who have f rmed themselves into companies for that purpose. With these they often leave the shore at the moat imminent risk of their lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less earnestness and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in prospect is rescuing from a watery grave some of their fellow creatures. On no occasion is it remembered that this noble and disinterested daring was more magnanimously displayed than on Sunday, the 26th of January, 1845, on which day, during a veryheavy gale from N. W. and by W. no less than live brigs were in distress, four upon the Scroby Sand and one upon the Barber. In no one of these cases was there, at the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi lity of saving anything like property. Nothing, therefore, but the warm promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the Beachmen to man their boats : yet they hesitated not a single mo ment, but at once launched their gallant barks and set forward to the rescue. Happily their efforts, in four instances, were successful in saving all the crews. The Caister Beachmen, with their yawl, Storm, succeeded in saving the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number. The Holkham Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons, went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew, nine in number. The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48 tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine in number. The Star Company, in their yawl, Phoenix, went off to the Ann, of Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stem and carrying away the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of nine men. Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in addition to the immi nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably in the injury done to their property—for which no remuneration can be anticipated but from the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement. The Beachmen of the " Phcenix" having safely landed the crew of the " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh crew of the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded to another vessel lying In distress on the Scroby ; the wind was then blowing a hurricane. On nearing the vessel, they found the sea running over her, and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her ; failing to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed her to pieces ; when the Beachmen—with the exception a( one man (named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board the brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre mendous violence over her bull. The accident being witnessed from the shoes several men belonging to the different Companies manned the life-boat and flew to their as sistance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap pily she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom I were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some drowned on the wreck, Six only of the " Phoenix's crew were savedl; and of the brig's crew, who were in a state of exhaustion when the " Phcenix" first reached ber, the whole perished. Thus in the noble attempt to save the lives of their fellow-men, seven of our gallant beachmen found a watery grave, leaving behind them four widows and fourteen children (ten of whom are under twelve years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged mothers of the three single men. Their na ,ies were Abraham Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve (widow and three children), Lanham (alias James) Hilling (widow and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, George Points, and James George, single men, but upon whom their widowed mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence. To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others— to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and to form a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of sufferers under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present appeal. Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and Co., and Sir R. C. Glynn and Co., London ; and at any of the banking houses in Norfolk and Suffolk.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 25.—The Dublin, 50, Captain Tucker, flag of Rear-Admiral Richard Thomas, late Commander-in-Chief in the Pacific, arrived at Spithead this morning, where she brought up, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief, Admiral Sir C. Rowley,"with 17 guns,,whieh was acknowledged by the flag-ship St. Vincent. The Dublin left Valparaiso on the 28d of December, called at Rio on the 27th of January, and left on the Ist of February. The crew manned yards on the Admiral leaving the ship this morning, and gave him three hearty parting cheers. Having been fitted out here she will most likely proceed to another port to be paid off. She has been in commission nearly four years. The Dublin brings the report that the Gorgon steam sloop, Captain Hotham, had repaired at Rio the damages she sustained by being driven ashore at Monte Video, and was about proceeding to the River Plate to com plete her period of service, when she (the Dublin) left Rio. The Dublin has brought upwards of 150 invalids from the squadron, and twelve boxes of specie, which were landed and dispatched to the Bank of England this morning. The Collingwood, 80, Captain Smart, flag of Rear- Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, C. 8., G.C.11., arrived at Valparaiso, last from Rio, on the 15th of December. Rear-Admiral Seymour immediately assumed the chief command in the Pacific. We are informed that the Collingwood, in the passage from Rio to Valparaiso, sprung her main-yard during a squall, while taking in the mainsail in beating into the Falkland Islands. All well on board. The Echo steam-vessel, with Mr. Brown, the Assistant- Master Attendant of the dockyard on board, and the Comet steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Pretyman, which went out on Sunday morning to render assistance to a ship reported to be in distress, returned yesterday morning; the latter without having discovered the cause of the alarm, and the former with the report that about a mile and three-quarters off St. Catherine's Point (at the back of the Isle of Wight), a Russian sloop, laden with fruit from Lisbon, had stranded and gone to pieces —crew saved. The Sparrow ketch, Lieutenant-Commander Otter, wont out of harbour to Spithead yesterday. The Emerald tender went out yesterday with Captain Moubray, of the Victory, on board, to muster the crew and inspect the Eagle, 50, Captain Martin, flag of Rear- Admiral Inglefield, prior to the payment of advance wages. The Mercury tender embarked a portion of Admiral Inglefield's baggage at the Victoria Pier yes terday morning, and we believe the Admiral will join to-morrow, and sail either the same evening or on Thurs day morning, calling at Plymouth to endeavour to make up the complement. The Resistance, 42, troop-ship, Commander Patay, ar rived this morning from Halifax, with a detachment of the 74th Regiment on board, and a few invalids. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander Bower, late from Cork, was taken alongside the dockyard jetty yesterday morning to fit for Mediterranean service. The Neptune, 120, has had her mainmast taken out and transferred to the Hibernia, and having been supplied with a new one, she was hauled out of the basin and taken to her moorings yesterday. The Neptune is now finally advanced for the pendant. The Victory, 104, Captain Moubray, flag of Rear-Ad miral Hyde Parker, C. 8., is undergoing a refit in her rigging, her late gear having been in use upwards of eight years. The Court-martial ordered to be held on a supernumerary boatswain of this ship, for neglect of duty, &c., and which was expected to have taken place yesterday morning, is postponed, on account of the in disposition of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker, who inva riably presides at Courts-martial held at this port. The shell practice from the Excellent upon the Swift sure was resumed yesterday morning, but the fog has been so thick to-day as to preclude the continuance of the practice. The Collingwood, 80 ; the Talbot, 26, Captain Sir T. R. T. Thompson, Bart. ; the Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze ; and the Cormorant steam sloop, Commander G. T. Gordon --were at Valparaiso when the Dublin left. The Alfred, 50, Commodore Purvis ; the Crescent, 42, Lieutenant-Commander Hemsworth ; the Gorgon, steam-sloop, Captain Hotham ; the Viper, 6, Lieutenant- Commander Carter ; and the Linnet, 6, Lieutenant- Commander Dicken ; also, the French steam-frigate Fulton (which towed the Dublin out) ; the American frigate Raritan), 60, and brig Congress, 10 ; and the Portuguese frigate Diana, 46, and brig Samuga, 14— were all at Rio when the Dublin left. At which time The Modeste, 18, Commander Beate, was cruizing in the river Columbia. The Thalia, 32, Captain Hope, was at Mexico waiting to embark freight for England. The Carysfort, 26, Captain the Right Hon. Lord W. Paulet, was in the Gulf of California. The Salamander, steam-sloop, Commander A. S. Ha mond, was at Otaheite. THE EASTER HUNT. The Easter hunt with the Queen's stag-hounds, this season, was expected to have been a very uninteresting affair, not only from the extremely heavy state of the country for miles around Windsor, arising from the sudden breaking up of the long-continued frost, but from the great quantity of rain which fell throughout the day preceding, Sunday last. • Notwithstanding these gloomy forebodings, the morn of Monday broke most favourable for the lovers of the chase, and long before the appointed time for the meet on Stoke Common, not less than . between 400 and 500 well-mounted horsemen (incluchng a great many of the officers of the regiments stationed at Windsor, Hampton Court, and Hounslow, and several from the metropolis) had assemb led . on the heath. A great number of the neighbouring gentry and their fa milies, in their carriages, were also congregated in the immediate vicinity, while the pedestrians could not have amounted to less than between 3,000 and 4,000. The celebrated clipper, Rob Roy, was selected for the day's sport, to the great disappointment of those, but of those only, who were mounted upon second or third rate cattle ; for, upon all former occasions, none but the A. No. l's have been enabled to live with the Scot tish chieftain. Rob Roy, upon being uncarted on the common shortly before twelve o clock, took away in the direction of the vicarage at Fulmer, doubling to the left towards Hedgerley, and again back to the common, where, upon being met and turned by the foot people, be went away in right earnest a t a tremendous pace, tailing off several of " the half-gu inea hacks," to Fulmer Bottom, up the high meadows, skirting Bulstrode Park, to Hedgerley, where he doubled to the right, crossing the turnpike-road, and away to Stoney Dean, down the Three Households, into Chalfont St. Giles's, where he took soil for nearly a quarter of an hour, before he was whipped out of a large pond ; thus giving a little wel come breathing-time to many of the almost exhausted nags. Rob then again went away by the Vatch, on to Chenies and Latimers, crossing Shepperfield Common to King's Langley, in Hertfordshire, where he again took refuge in a pond, at the back of the church, and was there taken after one of the most gallant runs this season, of upwards of two hours and three quarters, over at least six-and-twenty miles of heavy country. Up wards of forty well-mounted horsemen were well up at the finish. The distance gone over, from point to point, "as the crow flies," was at least twenty miles. The run, throughout, was at a racing pace. The hounds, which went twelve miles to the meet, and were thirty two miles from the kennel at the take, returned to Ascot the same evening, having traversed during the day up wards of seventy miles. k man named Gatehouse, for an assault on a police constable, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment at the Middlesex Sessions• THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. The following letter appears in the Standard : " Clumber, March 12, 1845. " SlR,—When so few are to be found who will ven ture to speak favourably of me, I ought to be, and am, particularly obliged to you for the chivalrous audacity with which you dared to print the favourable view which you are good enough to entertain of me and my doings. I very sincerely thank you for your prompt interposition and ready self-sacrifice. " It has always been my strange fatality to have my motives and actions misunderstood, and probably few men living, not being public men, have been more vilified and injured than I have been. I have endured this per versity with patience and resolution, but at last I became disheartened and disgusted ; I found myself standing alone in the maintenance of opinions which I believed to be right ; everything fell away from me; one event after another tended to depress my spirits and my energy, and to remove those inducements which stimulated me to exertion. My health, my peace of mind, my circumstances (as I am not ashamed to avow, arising from no discreditable cause), required my retirement for a season. Unseen and forgotten, you may well imagine that I was astounded at seeing The Hafod Estate' heading a division in the columns of the Standard appropriated to the report of the de bates in Parliament. I, of course, read on with deep interest, and soon perceived the old leaven and the un generous motive for introducing my name upon the scene, finally observing that the malignants professed to be perfectly satisfied with Lord Lincoln's statement, as well they might, for its plain truth deprived malignity of its power to cavil on. "Pray observe that I by no means object to the watchfulness and untiring scrutiny of Messrs. Hume, Williams, and Co. I applaud their searchin g inquiries, but I disapprove of a malign and prejudiced influence which urges to suppose that every transaction connected with me and my family must of necessity be suspicious, corrupt, and improper. " When fairly exercised, I should be exceedingly sorry to see that the vigilance of the gentlemen was in the slightest degree relaxed; it gives health and life to them, and is constitutionally wholesome for us. Such refining and scouring is a national benefit, and although I do not desire to follow the newest fashion and to over whelm these gentlemen with fulsome compliments and eloquent laudations, yet I must confess that it would be really a public misfortue if the nation were deprived of the now very necessary services of such lynx-eyed and indefatigable detectors of abuses—such unwearied cleansers of Augean stables ; only may I caution them not to fall foul of me too hastily or so readily, for I can assure them that their efforts to prove me a scoundrel will only serve to make them appear spiteful and ridiculous. " But, more than enough of this. Sir, my principal cause for addressing you is not to censure or applaud Mr. Hume, but to supply a deficiency ; because Lord Lincoln, in his natural earnestness to acquit himself of all blame or dishonesty in the transaction, appears to me to have omitted to state that I also am justly clear of all blame. I may be too sensitive, but I fancy that I perceive what may be construed by the public into a supposition that I had been requiring something which it would be improper to grant. Such was not the fact. I resisted the claims of the Crown over my property, which I conscientiously believed not to exist, and still think were unfounded—but that was all. I neither expected nor sought that favour should be shown to me. I would not, for any consideration of paltry advantage to myself, tamper with any official man, and least of all when that man was my son, whose honour, virtue, and reputation would be dearer to me than my own. Still, however, my own honour, and re putation and unquestionable integrity, are most dear to me ; and I cannot endure that, even by implication, I should be suspected by my countrymen ; and as my vin dication, save by yourself, has not been attempted in terms, I must undertake to be my own herald, and once more proclaim my innocence, my negation of dishonesty in any shape, and call upon those who would rob me of my best possession, to remember that I am the same man yesterday and to-day, and that whilst reason maintains her sway, lam not likely to change my nature. Who steals my purse steals trash; but he who filches my good name, steals from me that which not enriches him, yet leaves me poor indeed.' " I distinctly declare, then, that Lord Lincoln has spoken the truth, the whole truth; and that, pure and clear as he is of a shadow of imputation in this transac tion, I am equally so;* and in fact I only most unwill ingly submitted to what, by the conditions of the origi nal purchase-contract, I was compelled to do—to effect a good and perfectly valid title to the estate, although I believed that the vendors to me had, for expediency, en gaged to yield to the Crown a right to which it was not entitled. This is my case; and if I were to write vo lumes, I could add nothing to its simple strength. "My statement, I perceive, has already run to a greater length than I intended; but whilst I am on the subject, having undertaken to be my own herald, and most anxious as I am—more anxious, possibly, than I may be given credit for—to stand well with my coun trymen, whose good opinion I value beyond all price, I must beg to detain your attention for a few moments whilst I allude to the past, and bring you to the pre sent, that you and they may be perfectly aware of what have hitherto been my dishonest gains. " When I began life I had the fairest prospects before me. In a political point of view I possessed great power. Though in the eyes of Reformers I was re garded as an obnoxious boroughmonger, still my power and influence were indubitable. I ask, did I avail my self of my position to do wrong? Did I sell the seats for gain, or dishonestly traffic with them, either privately or politically? Did I ever act un constitutionally as regarded them, or as con cerned the State? I aver that, to my knowledge, I never did, nor do I conceive it to be possible that I could, as such proceedings would have been utterly re pugnant to my feelings and principles. My boroughs, then, on the one hand, were not productive of profit, whilst on the other they entailed prodigious losses and sacrifices, by feeding the interest, by contests, petitions, and, finally, by their Parliamentary confiscation, when I was robbed, without compensation, of a valuable consi deration, probably not short of 200,0001. " It is true, honorary and honourable distinctions had been conferred upon me when a very young man. From the excellent and revered George 111. I received the Lieutenancy of the county and the Rangership of Sher wood Forest, neither of these offices yielding one six pence of emolument. These appointments I solicited of the King himself, and they were bestowed without hesi tation, and with that paternal benignity which, from my earliest youth, I invariably experienced from his Majesty. I entered upon the lieutenancy in times of considerable difficulty and much anxiety. I exerted myself to the ut most, and I hope not unsuccessfully, through many anxious years, when at length tranquillity was restored. I spared neither my person nor my purse: it was my duty so to do, and I rendered it with alacrity and diligence; perhaps I may have fairly earned an expression of thanks from the proper quarter; it would have amply rewarded me, but it was forgotten. Having had the honour of serving four sovereigns, I may be permitted to remark that the per contra in pounds, shillings, and pence, was the payment for the patents on every occa sion. No great profit here. " The garter I never would:ask for, though frequently invited to solicit the honour; when offered to me I de dined it, and suggested that it should be given to the Duke of Wellington, as I had no claim to distinction. I was commanded to accept it, and was: invested. The honour is great, and I hope that I am not insensible of its value ; but as my present object is to show that I cannot be charged with dishonest gain, I may be per mitted to mention that the fees are on a scale commen surate with the honour. " As noneof these distinctions confer emolument or patronage, it will be seen, that with the single exception of pay when on duty with the Yeomanry corps which I commanded, I have never drawn to the amount of one penny from th public purse, nor have I as yet obtained for my family any situation or emolument, though I ho nestly avow that I would not preclude myself from the right of fair and legitimate solicitation, if in favour of a proper and competent member of it. " It will be seen, then, that the public has no great cause to complain of my grasping, or dishonest gains. It may not have approved of my acts, or of my opinions ; the Ministers of the day may have been of the same mind ; but at least it will be admitted that I have acted from a pure and conscientious conviction, and with an utter disregard of selfish consequences. "So in all measures of which I highly disapproved, whether Roman Catholic emancipation, reform, eccle siastical commissions, old corporations, Irish policy, corn-laws, free-trade, with many others, and more re cently the income-tax and tariff, Canada corn, and na tional education, &c., in which I may not have had the good fortune to concur with the Minister of the day—on all occasions I have not scrupled to disagree and oppose, whether as a candid friend or a candid enemy—nor can I do ray duty and abstain from dissent, when I see such Bills as the Jews' Disabilities Bill introduced into a Christian Parliament, and look forward to the promised measures which are to give a heavy blow and great dis couragement to the Protestant Church, whilst Popery is to be elevated and encouraged, and enemies to our faith, heretics, sceptics, or infidels, are to legislate for that Church which they abhor: such measures demand the stern opposition of every Christian, and every con scientious Protestant, who must too plainly and fear fully perceive how small is the consideration or care for the Establishment, but how great for her deadliest foes. Thus, when I have differed I have never done so from waywardness or faction, but as a painful performance of a duty—from an inward persuasion that though interest and ease forbade it, principle and conviction dictated and required it. These have been, and I trust will ever con tinue to be, my motives, my incentives, and my guides ; and although I will not pretend to assert that I have been right, I can safely declare that I believed myself not to have been wrong. " Many, perhaps, may remark—More fool he for his * " It should be borne in mind that Lord Linceln, though the chief, is not the only commissioner. He and two other gentlemen form the Board of Woods" &c. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—" Pity the sorrows of a poor old man !" is the burden of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle's letter to the Standard. We have transferred the document to our own columns, as a curiosity of its class ; and are impelled, by sympathy for the almost isolated state of the noble writer, to offer a few remarks upon his affecting appeal to the public in his own behalf. With respect to the proximate matter of provoca tion which prompted the Noble Duke to draw the pen in self-defence, we think he has amply vindicated himself from the imputations which were cast upon him —if, indeed, anything more could be desired beyond the triumphant answer which his son, the Earl of Lin coln, from his place in Parliament and as Chief Commissioner of the Board of Works, made to the attack—responded to, as that justification of his own and his father's conduct was, by the cordial concurrence of the House of Commons. This testimony is a volun tary offering at the shrine of truth—equally due to a political opponent as to a political friend. We were not of the number of the Duke of Newcastle's accusers, and might therefore be silent. Candour, if not a feeling of a higher and stronger character, impels us to aid the Noble Duke in vindicating his injured fame and feelings, when hen he appeals to his countrymen of all parties against an unfounded and unworthy accusation. Other topics are introduced into this epistle which, if not possessing equal claims on public sympathy, are not wholly destitute of interest. Tho Duke of Newcastle is now an old man; one of the very few now re maining of the Eldon school of politicians. To Lord Eldon, in some respects, he bore a similitude in the general character of his mind, tied to whom he adhered when the majority of his associates forsook him and fled. " When I began life," says the Duke of Newcastle, " I had the fairest prospects before me. In a political point of view, I possessed great power." There is much that is melancholy in the retrospect. The Duke, accord ing to the statement in his letter, has stood still, and beheld most of his early associates in political life pass into the grave ; while the few who remain have suf fered themselves to be carried away by the current of advancing opinion on questions which were, with him, sacred as articles of faith. He is left alone ; denuded of his political power. and deprived of his political asso ciates. Though we cannot regret the changes which have taken place in the political institutions and social relations of the people to which he alludes, we can easily understand the dreary feelings with which they are con templated in themselves, and in their consequences, by one circumstanced with relation to them as the Duke of Newcastle has been, and now is. We admit the Noble Dake's claim to " having acted from a pure and conscientious conviction, and with an utter disregard of selfish consequences :—ln all the measures of which I highly disapproved, whether Roman Catholic Emanci pation, Reform, Ecclesiastical Commissions, old Corpo rations, Irish policy, Corn-laws, Free• trade, with many others, and more recently the Income-tax and Tariff, Canada Corn, and National Education, &c., in which I may not have had the good fortune to concur with the Minister of the day—on all occasions I have not scrupled to disagree and oppose, whether as a candid friend or a candid enemy ; nor can I do my duty and abstain frem dissent, when I see such Bills as the Jews' Disabilities Bill introduced into a Chris tian Parliament, and look forward to the promised measures which are to give a heavy blow and great discouragement to the Protestant Church ; whilst Popery is to be - elevated and encouraged, and enemies to our faith, Heretics, Sceptics, or Infidels, are to legislate for that Church which they abhor. Such measures demand the stern opposition of every Chris tian and every conscientious Protestant, who must too plainly and fearfully perceive how small is the consideration or care for the Establishment, but how great for her deadliest foes." With reference to the policy, past and present, of those who now direct the des tinies of this great country, the Duke mildly observes— " I am disclaimed by those who, I am compelled to think, should be as I am." To the question, " Why, then, does he not follow the ways of the world ?" the Noble Duke replies, " Such ways are not my ways. I could derive no satisfaction from exchanging principles for expediency. So, like a wounded deer, lam discounte nanced by the whole herd." We cease to war with the foe who has retired from the battle-field. Although we retain the same antagonistic position to the principles which the Duke of Newcastle upheld whet' he occupied no insignificant post in the war of parties, we respect the consistency which has marked his political career, as contrasted with that of the converts to expediency to which he alludes, with a bitterness of feeling which their desertion of him has provoked. His reproaches find au apology in the neglect of which he has eloquently com plained in the letter before us. STANDARD.—It is among the earliest and most important precautions adopted by the skilful defender of a military position, to call in his troops from un tenable or useless posts, in which they would squander their lives to no purpose, and to remove everything that could cover the advance of an enemy. It is im possible, however, that those arrangements can always be made without exciting dissatisfaction ; some men will attach importance to positions held by others to be untenable or useless, for all were never agreed upon any plan ; some will even sus tain material injury from the necesssity of surrounding the position with an open field. Still, if the common defence is to be made, such sacrifices of opi nion, and even of interest, must be made. It is in civil polemics as in " the trade of war,' untenable or useless opinions, how fondly soever cherished, must bo surren dered. Meaner interests must be sacrificed in order to protect vital principles and paramount institutions. This will always produce a great deal of murmuring on the part of those whose particular opinions or interests may be in fringed upon ; but the honest and firm statesman will disregard this murmuring, and even the obloquy into which, after a little time, the scattered reproaches of the multitude may consolidate themselves. He is contented to know that he has defended all that ought to be de fended, and all that can be defended. Our reflections have been turned into this channel by the following conclusion of a well-written but reproachful article of this day's Morning Chronicle :—" Mr. D'lsraeli, how ever, is of opinion that Sir Robert Peel is needlessly letting the agriculturists down, that ho is actu ally and essentially sacrificing them, and that from pure love of him they accept him as the most agreeable executioner. Like condemned and despairing wretches, they consent to inevitable death, and are consoled by having it of their own direction and choosing, " Like maudlin Clarence in his Malmsey butt. And such, no doubt, is the opinion of a great portion of the agriculturists themselves. But men of common sense amongst them must see that Sir R. Peel has ma naged their estate better than any other steward they could have appointed. See at how small a real sacrifice of agricultural interests he has contrived to purchase, not only the acquiescence, but the support and applause of our amiable Opposition. Nor does heseemat all likely to sacrifice one iota more tha n the exigencies of the time may imperatively require. We deny altogether the jus tice of considering t he Protectionists as victims either innocent or asleep, or about to be slaughtered. Let not the Liberals go to sleep themselves with such an idea. Their antagonists, they may depend upon it, are wide awake, Buffer aware of what they do and what they , and how much they will suffer. Peel is their instrument, not they his dupes. They may sneer at him and damage him, in order to humble and master him—besides the advantage of giving themselves the air of injured men—but depend upon it, on the whole they are satisfied, if not with Peel, at least with Peel's work , and the y regard him as a very useful anti-Liberal factor. Farmers murmur, Whittaker : " St. Stephen's, Walbrook, March 24, 184 g. " The rector of the parish having observed upon the church door a notice for a vestry meeting on Easter Tuesday, signed Michael Gibbs and Thomas Whittaker hereby protests against that meeting, as being summoned without the rector's consent, and therefore contrary to law. " GEORGE CROLY, LL.D." The authorities on which this protest was founded were-Ist, the opinion of Dr. Phillimore, given expressly on the point—namely, "The usual, and therefore, under ordinary circumstances, the preferable cou rse is for the churchwardens to give notice for the holding of the vestry, but, in so doing, they are ministerial to the in cumbent, and they are bound to consult his wishes be fore they do so."—And also " Steer's Parish-law," p. 267. Notices for church matters, regularly, are to be called by the churchwardens, with the consent of the minister. There is also an express judgment of Sir John Nicholl to the same effect. No question of Church law is more incontestible. Notwithstanding this protest Mr. Michael Gibbs and Mr. Thomas Whittaker presented themselves in the yes-. try-room at ten on Easter Tuesday. The rector then once more declared that the meeting was held without his consent, and therefore illegal ; and Mr. Michael Gibbs, without adverting to this protest, demanded that all persons not members of the select vestry should retire, which the parishioners present declined to do. Mr. Thomas Whittaker then said, " I move that the select vestry do adjourn to the Lord Mayor's private residence, 33, Walbrook." Mr. Eddison then said, " I second the motion." Mr. Michael Gibbs then held up his hand, declared the motion carried, and they left the vestry-room ; Mr. Thomas Whittaker returning to " invite the rector to follow them." To which the rector replied, " I invite you, sir, to stay here and de your duty." [Thus ended the meeting, in which but three indivi duals, calling themselves select vestrymen, appeared, and thus the parish, now for the third year, is to be kept in the same state of confusion, which is already so well known to the public. Three individuals are to have the election of the parish officers, and if Mr. Michael Gibbs shall so please, it will be in his power to be re-elected in the same easy ard independent style to the last hour of his natural life. This is the twenty-third year of his holding the same. Since the period when the account of his stewardship, (luring nineteen years and up wards, was demanded by a bill in Chancery—an investi gation which is still only in progress—no account of his conduct of the parish moneys has been given to the pa rishioners, the whole of the parochial income being still in the hands of Mr. Michael Gibbs. We recollect no more unaccountable case coming before the public. How long the whole property of a city parish is to be left thus to the management of an individual, is a question, we think, naturally calculated to call up public sympathy. What are the ecclesiastical authorities about ? What is the law fit for if it cannot meet such conduct ? We see that a meeting of the parishioners at the Vestry-room is announced for Thursday next, at ten in the morning. This will probably throw some new light on the matter. The whole affair is extraordinary, but the stubborn re tention of office by any one person for twenty-three years, and especially under the strong and explicit re marks which have been made in the course of the last two years, uppears to us the most extraordinary portion of the whole.—ED. M. C.] —Chronicle. STATE OF TRADE. The breaking-up of the frost has not yet restored ani. mation in this market. The demand for yarn wag yesterday more limited than for some time past ; and some of the buyers for Russia and Germany were offering orders on lower prices. We be lieve, that, at a very trifling concession from the previous rates, a considerable amount of bu siness would have been done. The spinners, how ever, being almost all under contract, refused to give way, and the transactions were consequently limited. In the goods market, the accounts from India and China have tended to depress the prices of shirtings, which, as well as most descriptions of printing cloth, have been sold on rather lower terms ; and the market generally is heavy. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, MARCH 24. —There is no improvement in the market to report to day. The demand still continues very limited, and prices ruinously low. The wool market has been quite as dull as that for flannels ; and there seems no desire on the part of the manufacturers, to purchase except for imme diate use.—Manche.9ter Guardian of this day. TUE WILL FOIIGEBS.—It would seem, from some letters received from Barber, dated the Cape of Good Hope, September 22, that he still confidently hopes his innocence will be established, and that he shall speedily receive notice of recal from Australia. Speaking of his condition on board, and his hopes for the future, he says in one of his letters to a friend :—" I am glad to say that, in spite of small-pox and other illness on board, and still more the horrible cruelty of my case, my health has not suffered seriously, but what I have had to suffer in such a pandemonium as a convict-ship you can re adil y imagine; but it is my determination to bear to the utmost of my fortitude all that may be cast upon me until that day when my innocence shall be acknowledged at least by all the impartial world. Sure lam that day will come if my few friends will exert themselves. I am pretty well occupied on board, being librarian, chap lain's clerk, and inspector of police. Luckily there is one convict, M'Cullura, whose heart and head well qualify him for an associat e, and we fill up all our leisure time in reading and discussion, so that I hope to make excellent use of my time in improving my m i nd. . . . . lam glad to say that the surgeon superin. tendent has interested himself about me and convinced himself, from Fletcher's statement and manner, of my i nnoce nce, and will furnish a declaration to that effect. I am treated with much consideration by the • • . • prisoners. There is a general and firm belief on board of my innocence, and although our costume is the same, I receive much respe ctful attention ; they will never allow me to perform any of the drudgery of the ship ; but for a ll this my fate is a terrible one. One convict has es caped since we have been in the bay, but this is a step I will never attempt. No; nothing could be appreciated by me but a restoration to the credit and esteem from which I have been most cruelly driven. . . . . It is lamentable to think how nearly we succeeded in my deliverance on trial ; but God's will be done, and by unceasing exertions I may yet have an autumn of hap. piness and honour. . . . . I have just received a visit from an inhabitant of the Cape, formerly of London, who tells me of a declaration which, he says, appeared a few days after Fletcher's, signed by Spnders, and in exculpation of me. He says that the impression at the Cape is, that I shall soon call there on my return." —Britannia. THE LATE EXPLOSION AT BLACKWALL. Mr. Lowe, the managing engineer of , Messrs.
