Resolved unanimously— " That this Court do present an humble and dutiful Address to the Queen, congratulating her Majesty on her safe delivery, and upon having given birth to an heir presumptive to the crown of the realm." Resolved unanimously— . . . . MONEY MARKET and CITY NEW S. (TUESDAY EVENING.) CH RONICL E.—The satisfactory turn which the E4S_ tern question has now to all appearance decisively assumed, and the continued firmness in the Paris prices, have bleu the cause of the buoyancy in our funds to-day. The state of the Account has also tended to support the speculations for a rise, which have been strongly maintained throughout the day, although money has been worth six per cent. in the English House. Out of doors the rates of discount con tinue the same, but we believe bullion has been rather on the increase in the Bank coffers of late, and their position is understood, on the whole, to be more comfortable. The amount of bills out at one time in Great Britain and Ireland dining the year 1839 has been estimated by Mr. Leathern at 132,123 4601. •He arrived at this con clusion by the following process of calculation. For his basis he took the return of the bill stamps made by the Stamp-office to an order by the House of Commons, and having, by an inspection of bills running, discovered the medium sum which each denomination of stamp bears, he then ascertained the mean average date at which bills are drawn to be three months. His next step was to find the proportion which foreign bills bear to the whole of the in land bills, which he estimates at one.sixth, and on these data he gives the following results : -- AMOUNT OF BILL STAMPS IN THE WHOLE OF THE YEAR 1639. Bill stamps for Great Britain, creating the sum of Irish bill stamps, creating Bills created by compounding for the stamps, . being found to be one-sixth of the whole returned for notes and bills BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY. —.The adjourned inquests upon the bodies of Scaife and Rutherford, the two unfortunate wen killed by the bursting of the boiler on the Birming ham and Gloucester Railway, were resumed before Mr. Docker, at the Cross Hotel, Bromsgrove, yesterday. It will be recollected that the inquest was adjourned at the instance of the Coroner, to allow the attendance of Mr. Horton, the boiler-maker, who, it was stated by Dr. Church, the engineer, had made the plates of the boilers thinner than directed in his instructions and specifications. Dr. Church was again examined, and stated that he be lieved all the plates of the boiler had been made according to order ; he considered a quarter of an inch would be a safe thickness far a plate in the position of that which burst, but the plate which burst was from some cause or other only 3-laths of an inch thick. John Riley, foreman of Mr. Horton, the maker of the boiler in question, could not say whether a quarter of an inch was a safe thickness for a boiler of that dimension. lie recollected giving the order for the plate which was rent to be cut out of the iron which was supplied by the Doctor. Could not account how the plate which burst was thinner than the tso others, except that Mr. Horton bad exceeded his order in two plates, and acted according to order in the one which was the cause of the accident. " That an Address of Congratulation be presented to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, on the safe and happy de livery of her most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and on the birth •f a Princess Royal." Resolved unanimously— " That compliments of congratulation be presented to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, on the safe and happy delivery of her most Gracious Majesty the Queen, and on the birth of a Princess." WOODTHORPE. £394,203,000 55,615,722 3,176,000 CORONER—Can you account for it how the plate which burst, and which, when made, was a quarter of an inch thick, is now only 3-16 the ? Witness—lt might partly arise from expansion, and three years' wear is a long time. The Foreman—lf you had made that boiler, indepen. dent of any order, what strength would you have made the plates? Witness—Three-eighths. By the Foreman—Now do you think a boiler of one quarter of an inch thick safe or insecure ? Witness—l do not think it would be safe at less then 3-Bths, but I only speak from my experience as always making boilers thicker. lam not much acquainted with the making of locomotive boilers. Mr. Horton was also of opinion that the plate of a quarter of an inch thick for such a boiler was not safe. After some further evidence, the CORONER addressed the Jury, and said the first consideration in this case was the degree of criminality which attached to any parties, if any criminality did exist, but to establish criminality it was not requisite that design should be established. To as certain if any degree of criminality did exist, the Jury must look to the circumstances, and, if they could be ascer tained, the causes from which the accident arose. As it took place on the Gloucester Railway, the first responsi bility rested upon the directors and officers of that esta. blishment ; and he therefore called their attention especi ally to the evidence with regard to the precautions taken by the Company before the engine was introduced upon the line, and the subsequent experimental trips made by the Company's servants. The next responsibility attached to the proprietor of the boiler, who it was stated had no knowledge of the nature of boiler-making, and that he placed confidence rather in the engineer, Dr. Church, than in the opinion of the boiler-maker, Mr. Horton. The Coroner next referred to the first evi dence of Dr. Church, which, in his opinion, was highly censurable. With regard to the actual cause of the acci dent, he thought they woula agree w i t h hi m , t hat it was to be attributed to the thinness of the boiler. It was by every witness except Dr. Church declared that a quarter of an inch was too thin a plate for a pressure necessary for working locomotive engines, such as the one which had been the cause of the accident. With respect to the deo dand, he might then state, that it was the law that any thing moving to the death of an individual was forfeited. The Jury would have to say whether in this instance the engine was a deodand. After citing various authorities he gave it as his opinion that the engine as well as the boiler was liable to a deodand, and, after reading the whole evidence, he left the case for the consideration of the Jury. The Jury retired for about two hours and a half, and upon their return, about half past twel ve o'clock, br ought in the following verdict : 6)452,994,722 Add one-sixth of the inland bills for foreign bills 75,499,120 PROVINCIAL BANK OF IRELAND, London, 42, Old Broad-street, Nov. 23, 1840.

HERALD.--From South Australia the dates are to the middle of July. Here also colonial revenues are in dis order, the excess of expenditnre over revenue for the last year being calculated at 45,0001. The number of vessels which had entered Port Adelaide and Encounter Bay during the year, during the six months previous, is stated at 108, of the tonnage of 20,153. Of these 20 direct from this country, the remainder from Sydney, Port Lin coln, India, &c. The total tonnage of the first half of last year was 21,109. In August, 1839, the population was estimated at 8,250, but is now supposed to exceed 13,000. In the same month last year the sheep in the colony were calculated at 58,000, horned cattle at 6,250, horses 520, pigs 1,000, and goats 180. The sheep now are estimated at 150,000, horned cattle 10,000, horses 1,000. On the increase of stock and the promotion of agriculture the existence of the colony no less than its prosperity may be said to depend. The people, however, seam more anxious and noisy about municipal corporation bills than about ma terial improvements.

The following are the facts, as related to us, and seldom has it been the task of any writer to record so dire an issue of an expedition in which British courage and British thunder were opposed to barbarians. Report says, that the islanders were commanded and instructed in the detente of their fortress by an European armourcr, who has been resident among them for the last eight years. On the arrival of Captain Croker in the Favourite at the island of Tonga, be found that the missionaries were embroiled in a quarrel with the heathen or unconverted natives of the island, touching some religious dispute, and that the hea% then population had retired, and eschewed all cutiltillinica tion with the missionaries and their tiaaVe converts. As soon as the dispute bad reached this crisis, the heathens took possession of a fort situsto at a short distance from the beach, which they proceeded tc strengthen and fortify; Captain Croker arriving at this juncture, endeavoured to effect a reconciliation between the dis- putants ; this he had nearly accomplished, the bottle natives having received into their garrison a flag of truce sent in by Captain Croker on behalf of the missionaries, 6' We find that Thomas Scaiffe came to his death in consequence of the bursting of a boiler of a locomotive engine called the Surprise,' the property of Mr. Samuel Aspinall Goddard, by the boiler being constructed of iron plates which in evidence appear to have been of insufficient thickness."

During the time these negotiations were t akin g place, Captain Croker had caused three earronades t o be ratify and thetiat o ii n n di l tic iri o n n ic i di i. brought from on board his ship, and dragged to an emi nence commanding the heathen garrison, being distant at out 500 yards. These guns he had mounted, and brought a supply of ammunition to enable him to drive the natives from the fort, should they attempt to resist or refuse to comply with the conditions offered them. Captain Croker found, on entering the garrison, that it contained about 1,500 natives, all of whom treated him with great defer ence, and at the close of the conference requested half an hour longer to come to a decision. This (.captain Croker consented to allow, and informed them, that unless the gate of the fort was thrown open et the end of that time, he should batter it down. Captain Croker then proceeded and made what he deemed the necessary prepara tions to storm the fort if not surrendered ; scaling ladders, &c., were hastily constructed, and a large party of seamen, marines, and converted natives, to the number of 1,700 or 1,800, were assembled on the tibinence, ready to open a fire on the fort. The garrison, ere I the time allowed had expired, sent to the European catty ' to sette that they were willing to concede all things demanded of them save the humiliation to which they hove gined they would subject themselves in at OnVt; flieet ing and holding intercourse with their ; they would rather not meet them face to free Captain Crolier's "" for some Om to come. t —PIY Wait, that the ernes propose must be COMplted further trim% iOati with, and, no o _ n o . r riving at , ere upon tift tea, but this playing at lone-bails not inc appointed the Paiittirite s int n et opened COra . ing with the ardent temperameht a the bone% murder, he sordeied bia inn 4o toile)* him, and pro ceeded th Within I'so yards of the fort.

TIMES.—By advices from Hamburgh the price o gold is 4231 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 41, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13. 4/, it follows that gold is of the same value at Hamburgh as in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 5} per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.29, and the ex change at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 4 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. Notwithstanding the bargains in the English Stock market have been of little other than ordinary character, the apparent disposition on the part of the public to invest has strengthened the increasing firmness of the last two days, and Consols for Money and the Account have reached 90 to ; for the opening in January the quotation is 90k.

It was re fused on the ground that it ought to have been pre sented through the clearing-house. The bank sent word to the drawers, that they had left the City, and their office was closed. The cheat was then again presented for , payment after five o'clock, when the clearing house had closed. The banker refused pay ment, but offered to mark it for payment on the fol lowing morning. This was refused, and the check was noted for non-payment. Payment was again de manded in the morning for the amount of the check, and also for Is. 6d. noting, and ss. 9d. for one day's interest.

FItoM THE MORNING PAPERS OF Ting PAY. (Prom the Morning Chronicle.) The fall of St. Jean d'Aore has left the Podia o Egypt without a single strong place on the west coast of Syria. If M. Walewski had had Me greatest diOculty in the world to prevent Mehemet Ali from yielding to the conditions offered him by the Silken and his Allies, while he believed M. Thiers at the head of the French Ministry, now that the loss of St. Jean d'Acre is added to his other reverses (to say nothing of the losses mentioned In the article dated Vienna, Nov. 16, in our extracts from German !Japers, we may be sure that he will no longer hesitate. TheViehad nna a rticle alluded to states, indeed, that intelligence beets brought from Trieste that Count Walewski bad gone front Alexandria to Syria, with orders from the Viceroy to Ibrahim to evacate that country. This may perhaps, be premature u ; but the anxiety with the I l acha must now be to know whether he will be suffered to possess Egypt. No unnecessary delay on his part need now be apprehended ; and, we m laybut in fact, consider the Turco-Egyptian question as al arranged.

" Prudence," says ttid ptojedt, " commanded your Ma jesty to guard against all evetittiaiitles by precautionary armaments ; extraordinary credits have bde afi redepee t ) m e et them : we shall appreci ate the motivesand t n ployment of them. In this state of things, Sire, our con currence is acquired by you for an onourable as well as a just war. A peace without dignity would never butt been accepted either by France orher Kingun just was, ' violent agyre,sstion wlthout cause and without our manners nor object, would have acc:.""" it!tet l eith ft propresston peace, ilizotion with our ideas of . . sure ntace, which then, if possible, an honourable Ctiultia shall preserve from all infringement the Bur., r _ • --ld brium, is our first wish. But if from events it an.— , become impossible on these conditions, if the honour of France demands it, if her rights are not recognised, if her territory menaced, or ber interests seriously compro mised, exact it. Speak then, Sire, and at your voice the French will rise as one man, the country will shrink from no sacrifice, and you are assured of the national concur- rence." This is strong language ; but it is language to which n o exception can be taken by any other people. In England we should have been less ready to suppose the possibility of insult and aggression, and should have re served the expression of our readimess to make sacri fices to vindicate the national honour and insure its safety, till we had reasanable grounds of suspicion. But g reat allowance must be made for the efforts which have o long, and but too successfully, been made to represent the Treaty of the 15th of July as an insult to France, and to inflame the national mind with sentiments of hos tility towards the Four Allied Powers. Let us hope th a t now that tho Egyptian question is advancing ra. PRICE 5(1. pidly towards a settlement, the good feeling betwe the French and ourselves will speedily revive. The good and the intelligent of the two nations will feel themselves called on to use their best exertions to smooth down the animosities to which the last few months have given rise. The preservation of peace is a blessing which cannot be sufficiently prized. But if our neighbours be somewhat too ready, in the moment of excitement, to undervalue the calamities of war, some of our own countrymen advo cate peace on grounds which arc not the best calcu• lated to secure its permanence. There are many well-disposed persons in England, who are unable to perceive in what manner a disturbance of the balance of power can affect this country. :f Mehemet Ali had not been checked in his career, and Turkey had become extinct as a political body, haw long would the great Powers have abstained from seizing the fragments and how long would Europe have looked with pa' ,ieuce on the seizure of Constantinople by any o he great Powers ? Would not a war among the other great Powers of Europe be attended with the most disastrous consequences to ourselves as a trading and manufacturing nation ? But let us suppose that England in the outset took no part in the war —how long would it have been possible for her to preserve peace amidst all the casualties of war by sea and land ? Even the people of the United States, remote as they are from Europe, were dragged into a war by the interference of the belligerents with their ships. It is not, therefore, by wishing for peace, that we can always preserve it. Lord Palmerston has acted more wisely in guarding be times against the occurrence of a state of things which must have led eventually to war. Something must be risked in most determinations, but a wise man makes his calculations in order that he may adopt the course which promises to be attended with the least risk. In the present case there was, on one side, all but the cer tainty of a general war, if the integrity of Turkey was not maintained ; and on the other, there was the possi bility of the French, in moment of frenzy, coming to the insane determination of making war on all Europe for the sake of supporting the Pacha of Egypt in his usurpations and . ;iews of aggrandizement at the ex pense of Turkey. Lord Palmerston would not have been justified in assuming that the rulers of France could be guilty of the madness impl;ed in the above supposition. Justice will soon be done to Lord Pal merston even by those who, with peace in their mouths, were taking the most effectual means to produce war. (From the Morning Post.) We conceive that a goad deal of consideration must be allowed for the peculiar position of M. Guizot at the present moment. The difficulties we allude to are such as might well have prevented him from taking office, were it not that graver consequences still, to his country and to all Europe, would have been the result of his refusal to take office. He is obliged to change the policy of the late French Government in respect. to foreign affairs, and to declare a very different policy. This is due to his own character, and necessary to extricate Europe from the circumstances of alarm and from the prospect of proximate; war which existed while his predecessor was directing a shuffling diplo macy, and preparing vast armaments for no declared purpose. But while the new Minister adopts and declares a different policy for the future, he is by the necessity of his position thrown upon a defence of the acts of the Crown, under the guidance of the late Minister. He cannot say that the acts of the preceding Government were wrong—the armaments needless and irritating—the expenditure extravagant and wasteful. He finds himself obliged to support the previous actions of the Crown, while changing the po licy of the Crown which led to those actions. Hence we perceive an unavoidable contradiction, or, if not that, a want of harmony in his statements to the Cham ber. But we arc glad to recognise throughout the whole a spirit in favour of peace, and a frank avowal of what we may call the philosophy of peace as the basis of his policy. "In the past," he says, "he has no thing to defend, and the utmost reserve is imposed upon him with regard to the future." Still, however, he does state something of the past, and maintains that a neces sity existed for what has been done ; and as to the fu ture, if he abstains from detailing anything specific, he does not:withhold his distinct opinion that France should no longer seek to establish influence by war and revolu tion. The treaty of the 15th July, he says. appears to the King's Government to be fraught with danger, because the Four Powers may be led on further than they wished or intended, and " hence," he argues, the necessity of the armaments ordered by the King, neces sary, though the dangers they are intended to meet may never come." Now, it is clear that the justification of the enormously expensive armaments ordered by the Government depends upon the amount of probability that the acts of the Four Powers would require France to go to war. If there were a very slight probability of j a slight expense, usly such a contingency, itevrekl but no more. If, how sower appear that the greatest, and almost the sole, probability of general war arose out of the very preparations of France against a general war, if, we say, that proposition be established, it will not be easy to show why such expense should have been incurred unless war, for its own sake, be held to be an advantage to France. M. Guizot says that France has nothing to reproach herself with ; but after wards he speaks of the fault she has committed although he couples this country in the same transgression France and England were agreed as to the necessity of preventing hostilities, and as to the necessity of gua ranteeing the independence of Constantinople. They only differed as to the arrangement between the Sultan and the Pacha. I think it a great . fault on the part of the two countries to have allowed this difference to continue and to widen, and to have ntade it the knot of the question. The great policy and superior interest of Europe was the maintenance of peace everywhere, and always the mainte nance of security in people's minds and tranquillity in events. But the great policy was sacrificed co the little policy, and the superior interest to a secondary one. Count Montalembert calls my view selfish and mean. On the contrary, I think it the only moral, just, and universal policy. For fifty years the world has been torn and shaken. The most salutary results have arisen from the convulsion, at least to France. But they cast dear, and the results are worth nothing, if they be not allowed time and calm to acquire solidity. Peace alone can do this. The fifty past years have been the reign of passion and of force. It is time to substitute something else, viz , the reign of order, justice, and right. Peace is desirable, not merely for ma terial interests, but forth e great moral interests of society." If it be true that the great policy and superior interest of Europe lies in the maintenance of peace, and of a sense of security and tranquillity in people's minds, surely M. Thiers has much to answer for. Who so much as he spread alarm and disquietude throughout Europe within the last three months ? Yet M. Guizot says that the Treaty of the 15th of July being con cluded, and France, abandoned, isolated, could do no other than that which she has done, assume an armed attitude, but still pacific and expectant. No one can suppose that M. Guizot is blind to the inconsistency of a cou „:ry being armed to an extraordinary degree, and yet pacific. No one is better aware than M. Guizot I that the arming o f 1 7.?nce went very nearly far enough to make peace impossible, ,:rid that if it had gone to the extent intended by M. Thiers a General war would, in all probability, have b een the result. We fear tuheT the harmony with the general character of t p hil oso phy of M. Guiz ot is not verr h n a tion. The grea ter will be his glory if, e renriccth. withstanding the difficulty which this fact throws in his way, he should be able practically to establish his philosophy as the rule of French policy. If he can, it will be a great achieve ment for his country and for Europe. We are, how ever, more decidedly in favour of his policy than he is himself ; for we think it would have been always best, whereas he avows that war and revolution have been legitimate means of French influence. We do not like such avowals, even with respect to the th p a a t st t . h . e I t t im is e , however, fully admitted by the Minister and ha f t for such means of influence has gone dby, l'he posite means should now be employe. For a long period we have had a is very important, and, therefore , d t w ic e () i g n r s e e a r t t m it ea h a p s e a r a s e s fi ' n e .

EVENING EDITION. 'in our Contempora ry's imagin a ti on . N o body but him self ever beard of it. It is true that the Tories, seeing no other prospect of office, might feel disposed—as we doubt not they do—to play the apostate to their prin ciples, as the Times has done before them ; but a hat inducement the Administration of Lord Melbourne could have to dissolve itself for the purpose of males ' can with Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, and others of their political views, is one of those things which are beyond the reach of our comprehension. For five long years have Ministers withstood all the artillery which the Tories could bring to bear against .them, and why they should now capitulate to that faction is one of the'-. things which they themselves only can explain. 11-. Times arrogates great credit to the Tories for n. becoming parties to a coalition Cabinet. T he mer would be all the greater if the opportunity had es, : been afforded, or the offer ever been made to them. H Lord Melbourne made any advances to the Tories,. with the view of forming a coalition Cabinet, and they had refused to listen to his proposals, then, indeed, they would have had Some reason to take credit for their po litical virtue in resisting temptation ; but until their in tegrity has been thus tested, we must be excused for not believin g th a t they possess it. The days of coalition Cabinets have for ever passed away. No Ministry that does not take a decided course can ever receive the sup port of the countely ; and need we say that without the support of the country' no Administration could survive a month. The Ti mes a ff ects t o di ssu ade its party from coalescing with the Whi g s, were toj o in the M e lb ourne C a binet they would damage thereby irretrievably on the ground that if they their character. What character, may we ask the Times,remains with the leading Tories, which can thus run any risk of being ire. jured ? They have notoriusly lost all political charack ter already. When the Times talks of Sir Robert Peel entailing disgrace on himself, were he to become member of a coalition Cabinet, the Times must be levelling the most bitter irony at the head of the unfore tunate Baronet. What deeper disgrace could be bring on himself by any future political act of his than alres4 attaches to his name? What principle of importance which he ever held has he not, at one time or other. abLindoned? His very name is proverbi ally synony r mous with apostasy . Even in the eye of h is own gritty he has already reached the low est depths of degradation as a politician. In the event of a coalition Ministß* being formed, the disgrace could attach exclusively to such of the Liberals as had become parties to it. But of such coalition Cabinet there is nof, we repeat, the re motest probability ; not ono whit more, indeed, than there is of Colonel Sibthorp becoming Prime INl:nister before the close of the approaching session. (From the Morning Ikrald.) The Globe of last night contains an article, charac tensed by more than its usual flippancy, in which it professes to invalidate the statements, made in yester day's Herald, respecting the note tram Lord Palmer ston, which we stated Lord Granville had communi cated to M. Guizot. The Globe promises to " de molish" our " claims to public confidence ;" we will en deavour to show Low effectually. In the first place, the Globe roundly asserts that " no such communica tion as that stated by the Herald was made by Lord Granville to M. Guizot." Indeed! What authority does the Globe adduce to prove its assertion? How ever favoured by the Foreign-office, the Globe could not be aware of what took place in Paris during an interval when the communication between London and. that capital was interrupted for several days ; for, be it observed, no news from Paris later than Thurs day had been laid before the British public till the publication of the morning papers of yesterday. But, says the Globe, by implication, " We have Lord Palmerston's authority (either specifically or generally) for denying the fact," or, at any rate, INS adhere to our assertion quand me»te. If Lord Pal merston did furnish the authority for the denial of the Globe, we have only to observe that a few days must prove the integrity of even his Lordship's refutation ; many of Lord Palmerston's statements have, ere now, been denied ; and, not to multiply instancesut to con tent ourselves with the most recent—the celebrated letter of M. Thiers consisted of little else than the contradiction of his Lordship's allegations, which the Globe was content to pass over sub silentio. If rh e Globe, skilled in that species o f controvers y w h ich formed the substance of ancient Pistol's argument, gives the " word of denial" on its own account, our com ment is simply this—that it reminds us of a lady of coafessedly doubtful reputation, who, being accused of infidelity, informed her friends that they had " her au thority for repelling all such calumnies." The party interested in the contradiction is cx officio the party best cognisant of the facts ; but there is the jury of public opinion. To proceed, however, with the details of this " demolition," the Globe states that the contents of the note " are not merely false, they are absurd ;" and supports this averment by explaining that "the con ference has never held any terms,' i. e., relations, with Mehemet Ali." To what end, then, have the prop°. sitions tended, avowedly proceeding from the con- : ference, which, throughout the whole affair, liSv offered certain conditions to the Paella of Egypt t Wily was an interval granted to Alehernet Ali for the acceptance of those conditions, if the conference had no share in propounding them ? If the " relations" subsisted only between-tite4our Powers and the Sul tan, how did it hrtppen that the squadron of Adm. Stor ford was made the medium bf communication ? It wot4l have been time enough far the British fleet to ba y a sailed from Vourlah after Mehemet Ali's rejection of the Sultan's terms, if the Mice were only t% have operated apres . le coup. Did Ossiaisel Hodges receive his in structions from the Sultan or from Lord Ponionby ?—if from the latter, with what degree of pretension to com mon sense can it be alleged that " the political relations S G u l l o t b a e n s u a d n d d e y o t a c w q u i t i h re d A t l h e , h , e k m n e o t w eAdA e into which the Four Powers h a ve entered are with the office r t ' hat thee as of an "e . ryrenzetleur" is one which be s t b e fits the cha racter of its patron ? The next assertion of the Globe is another unqualified contradictipn, based upon no authority better than its own assertion. Alludin g to the means which have been taken to foment an insur rection in Egypt, which the Globe says is " pure inven tion," is it not " beyond all powers of face" unblush ingly to deny that the inhabitants of Syria have de rived their means of resistance to the Pectin by the dis tribution amongst them of Brit i sh arms and ammunition ? Has not M. Guizot positively declared that Lord Palmex ston took advantage of the first symptomsof insurrection in Syria to proceed at once to extremities with Mehe met Ali ? Who, then, more likely than he to foment the insurrection which he has already encouraeed? The " additions" to the statements in the Herald are alleged to be "of equal worth with the other parts of the article." The Glebe, for once, is right ; they are so ; and whether characterised as " fooleries" by Lord Palmerston or his deputy, they belong to that category of revelations which nether would willingly have made to the public. The treaty of Unkiar Skelessi is a "foolery," perpetrated by Lord Palmerston, but given to the world through the columns of the Morning 'He rald ; the " Treaty of the Quadruple Alliance" is an other, by the same eminent hand, communicated through the medium of the Morning Herald ; and more recent state papers have made their first appearance in the Morning Herald, all of which may prove, as Oxenstiern observed, " with how little wisdom the world is go. verned," but cannot invalidate our claim to be consi dered the first to put the public in possession of the real facts of the several questions at issue.
