The last to bid the cry of warfare cease, The first to make a malady of peace. The laud self-interest groans from shore to shore, For fear that plenty should attain the poor.* See these inglorious Cincinatti swarm, Farmers of war, Dictators of the farm ! Their ploughshare was the sword in hireling hands, Their fields manured by gore of other lands ; Safe in their barns, these Sabine tillers sent Their brethren out to battle—why? for rent! Year after year they voted, cent. per cent., Blood, sweat, and tear-wrung millions—why? for rent ! And will they not repay the treasures lent ? No ; down with everything, and up with rent ! Their good, ill, health, wealth, joy, or discontent, Being, end, aim, religion—rent, rent, rent ! Lo ! Mother Church, while all religion writhes, Like Niobe, weeps o'er her offspring, tithes ; The prelates go to where the saints have gone, And proud pluralities subside to ono ; Church, State, and faction wrestle in the dark, Tossed by the deluge in their common ark. Shorn of her bishops, banks, and dividends, Another Babel soars—but Britain ends." " In proportion as nations grow more corrupt, more dis. grace will attach to poverty, and more respect to wealth. But these are two questions that would completely reverse this order of things—What keeps some persons poor ? and what has made others rich ? The true answers to these queries would often make the poor man more proud of his poverty, than the rich man is of his wealth ; and the rich man more justly ashamed of his wealth than the poor man, unjustly, now is of his poverty."

REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.—The an nouncement which we made, last week, on our own responsi bility, that we had good reason for believing our present popu lar Mayor had made up his mind to solicit from his fellow townsmen the honour of representing them in Parliament, has elicited, since Monday, a very general expression of feeling and of opinion on the subject. The result of the announcement of Mr. Walmslev's intention to become a competitor for the ho nours of the represent ation must be deemed highly satisfactor y . Men generally are a g reed as to his q ualificatio ns f or discharg ing, efficiently and faithfully, the legislative duties to which he aspires. The only question about which there exists a doubt is, whether the time has arrived when the majority of the elec tors are prepared to support the claims of a resident fellow townsman to represent them in the House of Commons. Much, very much, will depend upon the man. If he be popular as well as able, the preju dice will be found to be almost ino p er ative. Whether the popu larit y which Mr. Walmsl e y has a cqu i re d. and justly acquired, will enable him to overcome the objection urged against all townsmen remains to be seen. Great as his present popularity is, it may be fairly expected to become greater, and to be as permanent as it is high. 'Whilst, there fore, as we said last week, we are not very sanguine of the suc cess of any Reform candidate, in the attempt to wrest the monopoly of the representation from the hands of the Tories, backed as they arc by the preponderating votes of the old free men, we are still ready for a trial of strength between the Re formers and the Tories, and deem Mr. Walmsley as likely a candidate to win with as any resident gentleman who has been named in connexion with the representation of Liverpool. Whether another gentleman should be associated with him in the character of a candidate is a question for the future consi deration of the Reformers.—Liverpool The Riglit Hon. General Sir George Hewett, South Bart., G.C.8., died this afterno on ( Satur day), at half-past - three o'clock, at his residence , F reemantle P ark, near ampton, in the 91st year of his age. His loss will he greatly regretted by his family and numerous friends, but more espe cially the poor, to whom he was a m ost liber al benefactor. Sir George was the fourth on the list of Generals, having attained that rank in 1813, and was Colonel of the brave 61st Reg' ment, which landed at Southampto n last week, from Ceylon ' : and it was somewhat singular that, although enjoying tolerable henith a long time preceding, and atixer::l; NN iShin, t o see his old comrades once more, took to his bed on 'that day. - Hampshire Telegraph. RE-UNION-LOWER CANADA. At a meeting of a number of citizens of Quebec, in vited to receive the report of a committee appointed at a previous meeting, to prepare resolutions on the pro posed re-union of Upper and Lower Canada, held at the hou►e of E. Glackemeyer, Esq., on Friday, the 17th of January, 1840, John William Woolsey, Esq., was called to the Chair. E. Glackemeyer, Esq., was re quested to act as Secretary. The Honouraldes R. E. Caron, and John Neilson, T. C. Aylwin, H. S. Hoot, and E. G!ackemcyer, Esqrs., reported the following re solutions, which were read by the Secretary : Resolved—l. That in a Message from his Excel lency the Governor-General on the subject of the re union of the provinces, transmitted to both Houses of the Legislature of Upper Canada, on the 7th of Decem ber last, it is stated that "so far as the feelings of the inhabitants of Lower Canada can be ascertained, the measure of the re-unio❑ meets with apprabation." 2. That we arc not aware that any steps have been taken to ascertain the feelings of the inhabitants of Lower Canada, on the measure of the said re-union, unless it be a reference which is reported to have beer. made by the Governor-General of certain propositions to a meeting of the Special Council for the said pro vince, which meeting was called by proclamation dated at Montreal the sth of November last, to meet at that city on the 11th of the same month, and at which, from the nature and insufficiency of the notice, the distance of the residence of several of the members being nearly 300 miles from Montreal, and the difficulty of travelling at that particular season, was attended by only about halt the members of the said Council. 3. That the Special Council has no representative character, in so far as the inhabitants of Lower Canada are concerned, but that the members thereof arc ap pointed by the Crown, during pleasure, and have cnly an existence for special purposes to the Ist of Novem ber, 1840, under the Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, Ist Victoria, chapter 9, and cannot in any way be considered as expressing the feelings or wishes of the inhabitants of this province on the mea sure in question. 4. That in the said Message, it is further stated that her Majesty's advisers had refrained, during the last Session of the Imperial Parliament, from pressing im mediate legislation for the re-union of the provinces, not from any doubt as to the principle of the measure, or its necessity, but " solely from their desire to ascer tain more fully the opinions of the Legislature of Upper Canada, and to oollect information from which the de tails might be rendered more satisfactory to the people of both provinces.'' 5. That whatever events have marked the recent history of Lower Canada, and led to the suspension of the Constitution, as stated in the said Message, similar events have occurred in Upper Canada, and the same difficulties have existed in the legislature of both those provinces, at the same period. The main difference has resulted from the fact, that in Upper Canada an appeal was made by the authority of the Crown, in the year 1836, to the sense of the people of Upper Canada, on the then existing differences between the Imperial Government and the Representative Assembly ; while no such opportunity was allowed to the inhabitants of Lower Canada; but the Constitution of this province was suspended to the Ist November, 1840, in the First Session of the Imperial Parliament, held after the breaking out of a partial rebellion in the district of Montreal. 6. That the Act of the 31st Geo. 111., chap. 31, to make further provision for the government of the pro vince of Quebec, was enacted by the Parliament of Great Britain, upon petitions submitted at various times from the inhabitants of this province, of different opi nions and feelings, and was passed after an agent for cer tain of the petitioners was heard at the bar of the House of Commons ; and it is to be inferred, that all interests in the province were fully considered by Par dement, before deciding on the important question of establishing the constitution of the government of a distant dependency of the Crown. 7. That the said Act was gladly and gratefully ac cepted by all the inhabitants of the said province, who cheerfully discharged their duty to the Crown for the defence of its Government, as established in the said province by the said Act, when it was attacked by the United States of America in the years 1812 and 1813, io as to merit the thanks of their gracious Sovereign ; and it is only within the last seven years, notwithstand ing the dissensions which are inseparable from free go vernment, that any complaints have been made apin6t the said Constitution, or proceedings had to obtain any alteration thereof ; but on the contrary, a general desire had previously and repeatedly been expressed in humble petitions to the Sovereign and Parliament to maintain the said Constitution, and transmit it unimpaired to posterity. 8. That whatever may have been the difficulties which subsequently occurred in the Legislature, and the de plorable events in the district of Montreal, the whole body of her Majesty's subjects in this province ought not to be held responsible for them, or be exposed to lose that constitution of government which was so lemnly granted to them by Act of the British Parlia meat, and be exposed to the manifold dangers and d;ffi culties Ada have too frequently resulted from consti tutioual changes. 9. That the same spirit of justice which induced the British Parliament to re-establish by the Act 14th Geo. 111. cap. 83, commonly called the Quebec Act, the laws of Canada, which had prevailed in the said pro vince from its earliest settlement, required a division thereof, that the majority of the persons who had set tled in the upper part of the province should enjoy a system of laws wish which they were acquainted, and that now that the two provinces have grown up under the sanction of the Imperial Parliament, with different codes of law, and are distinct in almost everything that contributes to hat monious action in political societies endowed with Representative Assemblies, their re-union could produce nothing but renewed dissension, confusion in the laws which regulate property, oppression and violence, the utter insecurity of persons and property, and the total interruption of public prosperity. 10. That we have 'observed with profound grief the erroneous and injurious aspersions on the character of the inhabitants of this Province generally, contained in the " Report on the affairs in British North America, from the Earl of Durham, her Majesty's High Com missioner, presented by her Majesty's command, and ordered by the House of Commons to be printed on the 11th of Febtuary, 1839," and more particularly those parts of she said report which represent. the inhabitants, sprung from different natural origins, as animated by the unchristian spirit of irreconcileable hatred to each other, and irretrievable enmity to her Majesty's Govern ment, even to the extent of a traitorous co-operation with her Majesty's enemies in any future attempts to invade this province. Imputations so unfounded, laid before her Majesty and the British Parliament and nation, are utterly unaccountable to loyal subjects and honourable men in this province, and are in no ways justified by the misfortunes which have resulted from dissensions similar to those which have prevailed in almost every country, including the Home Dominions of the Crown, and most of its colonial possessions. IL That we are fully persuaded, that the experience of the past will serve as a beacon to warn all parties of past errors, and that the Representative Assembly of Lower Canada will study to promote harmony among the different branches of the Legislature and all classes of the people, make adequate provision for the support of Government and the administration of justice on the principles of the British Constitution, provide for any improvements which time and circumstances may have rendered necessary to afford a fair and equitable re presentation to all classes of the inhabitants, and in every part of the province ; for the application of any duties which the Imperial Parliament may think propsr to impose on goods entering the St. Lawrence, to faci litate the opening of a ship navigation from the sea to the great lakes, and for the improvement of the laws of the province, and the general advancement of its pro sperity. 12. That the terms on which it has been proposed in the message before-mentioned, to effect the said re union, whereby a section of the country of only about half the population and wealth of the proposed united province is to have one-half of the representation, and thereby possess th e p ower o f t ax i ng th e g reat majority of the inhabitants without their consent, and applying the proceeds to a sectional portion of the pro vince, while a large debt contracted and spent for the improvement of Upper Canada, is to be imposed on the inhabitants of Lower Canada, afford sufficient evi dence of the erroneous information and unconstit.- tional designs, which have presided at the formation of the said plan, and are a sure indication of the evils which must inevitably result from the sanction thereof by the Imperial Parliament. 13. That the Constitution established by the said Act, 31 Geo. 111., chap 31, be maintained, and no alteration thereof be effected without the inhabitants of this province having had an opportunity of being heard on any Bill to be introduced into Parliament for that purpose. And the question of concurrence being separately put on each Resolution, the same were unanimously agreed to, viz. :—by Messrs. T. C. Aylwin, Advo cate ; M. Borne, J. P. ; A. Berthelot ; J. 13, E.

On no subject has greater delusion been practised upon our working-classes than in the matter of wages as affected by restriction s upon tra d e i n co rn. The Tories and many of the Ch ar ti sts agree i n ma iCtaining that wages will inevitably f a ll i n a correspon di ng 1 71tio with the price of food ; they assume t h at t h e wage :4 of the Continental labourers ar e muc h l ower than those...d ile British labourer ; and that th e di m i nu ti on i n th e of food, by the removal of th e C orn -l aws , wou ld taut immediately to depress to the level of the foreigners, the wages of our labouring population. In this there is the grossest tallacy, without even the pretence of a reason to conceal it. In the first place, it is falsely assumed that the rate of wages is determined only by the price of food. Facts staring us in the face every day, give the lie to that assumption. Food, during the last three years, has nearly doubled in price, White - wages have, in almost every instance, considerably fallen. Then, again, it is equally falsely assumed that the real wages of the Continental operatives are lower than those of the English. By " real wages" we mean the relative quantity of the necessaries and comforts of life which can be procured in exchange for them—that man, for instance, receiving the highest real wages who is able to command with them the greatest quantity of food. —Now, we hold that the fact of immense numbers of our most skilled artisans now leaving this country for the Continent, is in itself a sufficient disproof of the assumption made as to the lower wages of the Conti nental operatives. Would Englishmen and Scotch men break up the ties which bind them to home— voluntarily undergo the toils and troubles of emi gration to new countries, and consent to Fettle down among strangers and foreigners, for less wages ? Yet every month our best mechanics and artisans are leav ing our manufacturing towns, Manchester, Leeds, Dundee, Sheffield, &c., for Germany, Belgium, and France. The truth, is, they are offered higher wages abroad ; their skill is better remunerated abroad ; and they go abroad accordingly. The relatively superior condition of the foreign la bourer is, however, proved beyond the possibility of a doubt, by the Government statistical tables, lately ar ranged and published under the superintendence of Mr. Porter, of the Board of Trade. This subject is very clearly stated by a Correspondent of the Times, from whose communication we cull the following : The money wrtges of a journeyman carpenter, of the first class, at Warsaw, in Poland, arc six florins I per day, which reduced into English money, make 3s. sterling. In London the wages of the same de scription of workmen are ss. ; in Manchester, 4s. ; in Glasgow 2s. 4d.; in Londond err y, 2 s . Bd. ; an d i n t h e I Welsh Ironworks, 3s. 6d. In respect of nominal wages, then, the English and W e l s h a pp ear t o h ave 1 the advantage over the Polish workmen. When we come to examine into the matter, holever, we find the advantage to be only apparent. For when we compare the relative prices of food in Britain and Poland, we find the foreigner to have, in all respects, the most de cided advantage. Thus, the average price of wheat at Warsaw, from 1825 to 1832 inclusive, was 235. 11d. per quarter ; while at London, during the same period, it was Gls. 11d. per quarter. But Polish wheat being the finest in the world, is worth more by I Is. Bd. a quarter than the average kinds of English wheat, witieb, therefore, would make the price of wheat in Eng land from 1825 to 1832, of a quality equal to Polish, 735. 7d. per quarter. '['has the price of corn is in Eng land 200 per ceat. higher than in Poland. We now find that the wages of the Polish carpenter, though nominally 'Jess, are really much higher, than those of the British operative. For with his wages the Pole is able to command more than three times the quantity of food which the best London workman can do—thn real wages of the former being thus equivalent to what Itls. 4d. a day would be to the latter :—" Now this is somewhat startling (says the Times Correspon dent), and we should hardly have imagined that the wages of a Polish carpenter would so greatly exceed the wages of t'ae same class of workmen in the richest city in the world ; but this arises from the difference in the price of food, and that the calculation is correct we shall at once perceive, if we state the precise quantity of food that the two workmen are respectively able to obtain by nr!ans of a week's wages : The week's wages of the Warsaw carpenter, at 4s. per day, being 1/. 4s ; this, at 235. lid, per quarter, will purchase of wheat 8,003 The week's wages of the London carpenter being► at ss. per day, 1/. 10s., this, at 735. 7d. per quarter, will purchase Difference 4,741 The Warsaw workman has therefore the means of purchasing more than 41 bushels of wheat per week, over and above what the London carpenter can pur chase ; the excess of the former being in the propor tional difference of 146 per cent. Real Class of Artisans. Polish English wages in money. money. food. fl. gr. a. d. s. d.

Tanners Masons Thus does it appear evident that the real wages of labour in Poland far exceed those of the United King dom; and from this do we perceive the benefit of low prices of food, and how greatly they tend to improve the condition of the labourer. " It is this high rate of real wages (concludes the Correspondent of the Times) that indu ce s th e G erman mechanics and artificers to flock to Poland, where they make money, and then return to their own country. For this fact we have the authority of Mr. Jacob ; and this brings us to a new view of the subject. " Taking, then, as before, the case of the carpen ter for an example, it is evident that the carpenter at Warsaw is much better able to make a provision against sickness, infirmity, and old age, than the English carpenter. And to state the difference in their several abilities in this respect at ss. per week, is to be very moderate. Let us, therefore, suppose that the saving commences at the age of 25 years, that it is continued to the age of 50, and the rate of int erest is four per cent. Now , at this rate of interest a weekly saving of ss. will increase in 25 years to 558/. 3s. ; an d therefore in the respective ab iliti es age of th e P o li s h and ' English carpenter t o make .provision again s t o ld a and infirmity, the d i fference will least a mount to 55 g / - in money ; and if we the n consider the price of food • Poland,as we have shown, is only one-third of the • pric h e . in England, the real difference is three times 5581 is 1,67 41 .; and to this extent , at least, is the con”ditwionleohf the Polish carpenter better than that of the EEnglish carpen ter, at the end of a labour of twenty-five years. In s h ort , s uch are the means of the Polish carpenter, that with lowest e sca rcely an effort, and with th e low • possible degree of prudence and frugality, h e can lay by a-week, and thereby make th a t provision or r a future day, which, in twenty-fiv e y ears, s h a l l be equal to 1.674/., according to the p r i ce o f f oo d in England ; but for the English carpenter t o d o t hi s, he must lay by 15s. a week, which is plainly impossible. " In every point of view, therefore, and whether as respects the p resent en j oyments or future hopes and condition of the working-classes, we see the benefit of low prices of food."—Leeds Times. CORN-LAWS.—The Anti• Corn-law Meeting, held in Wolverhampton on Tuesday last, passed off admirably, and is another addition to that long list of triumphs of which the men of this district are so justly proud.

CHINA. (From the Glasgow Herald (a Tory Paper). • Attempts arc made to excite a popular feeling againtst the whole proceedings with reference to China, and with this view the entire question is treated as if it were the intention of Britain to irisist on the perfect ' freedom of the opium trade. It is not fair so to repre sent the matter. The question is not whether China shall be permitted to regulate her foreign commerce at her pleasure, and to debar what articles she chooses from admission to her ports. Her right to regulate her whole trade and interval policy is not in the smallest degree disputed. Let her prohibit any traffic, and sire is en titled to enforce the prohibition. But what Britain has to complain of, and must exact reparation lor, is this—that the Chinese authorities have gone be yond the mere enforcement of their commercial regula tions, and have been guilty of the most gross maltreat ment, not only of innocent British subjects, who were guilty of no violation of their laws, but of the British Superintendent, who was honestly co-operating with them in their efforts to put down the opium traffic. The crime against Britain is not that the opium trade was prohibited, or that opium snaunlers were punished. So far the right of the Chinese is fully admitted. But \ they assailed and violently imprisoned British subjects, 1 who wcro notoriously innocent of any v i o l a tion of their laws, end who were outraged, both in person and property, in order that the sufferings of the innoc ant might facilitate the punishment of the guilty- This is contrary to every principle of reasm.' or justice—and if Great Britain permitted suck lan iniquitous course to be pursued against her subjects abroad, she might as well proclai,m at once that her foreign traders had no right to look to the mo ther country for protection. if anything is demanded from China beyond what is reces,ary for the maicte nanee of common justice, then there may be grouWs for condemning the course adopted by the British Go vernment. But if nothing is asked but an acknowleofe- I meat of the common law of nations—if all that is re quired is security for the persons and property of those who, trusting to the faith of these barbarians, enter into commercial intercourse with them, and preserve them selves guiltless of any off:glee against their laws—then we shou.d imagine that the most philanthropic among us would find it difficult to say that what we now do is wrong. We are more and more persuaded that there will be no war—that the just demands of Britain, backed by an efficient force, will he at once acceded to. IVe require nothing more than justice, and nothing more will be asked. And we have little doubt that the jus tice which was refused to the unprotected stranger will be yielded to the imposing argument of a powerful fleet. We repeat that if the slightest interference with the internal government of China was contemplated, it would be deserving of the severest censure that could be bestowed upon it. But we cannot think that there is anything wrong in extending the protection of tile Bri tishNords that this yea r determination ete ago rminiagthimotn have‘ o vs empire to all h er su bj ects i n every quarter of the g n i o ° t b m e. ani O fe u st r er regretslyooaer. v is, saved fleets now.

By re ference to the date of their respective commitments, it appears, that collectively they had been in gaol 370 days, and must, therefore, have partaken of 1,110 meals at the expense of the county, while many of their families were supported by p a _ roehial assistance.

It contains two or three paintings and one statue at least of great merit. The Venus Tbor waldsen is a beautiful piece of workmanship, and surpasses any of the Graces by Canova, and perhaps every Modern represen tation of the female form in marble. Though the attitude and proportions are different from those of the Vining di Medici there is a strong resemblance, yet not the resemblance of ser vile imitation. The painting of the " Israelites in the Wilder ness," the " Cordova Venus," said to be by Titian, arta the `Day of itegment," by Lucas Van Leyden, are of a sal - erior class.
