THE inaugural address of the new President of the United States, which we gave in a second edition on Tuesday last, contains a passage bearing upon the question of his proposed domestic and commercial policy, which is rather significant. The President says—" It shall be my study to re commend such constitutional measures to Congress .ary and proper to secure encou ragement. protection to the great interests of agriculture, commerce, and manufactures, to im prove our rivers and harbours, to provide for the speedy extinguishment of the public debt, to enforce a strict accountability on the part of all officers of the govesnment, and the utmost economy of the public expenditure." Viewed, as these remarks ought to be, in connexion with General Taylor's profession of a pacific foreign policy, and non-in terference in the affairs of neighbouring countries, we can only arrive at the conclusion that the prin ciples of his government will be totally antagonistic to those of his predecessor; and that they will be directed strictly to the development, through the medium of peaceful and protected industry, of the var, ::::1111: j , f :le count. v, uver which he has as may be neces anc7 Loyal Canadians from all parts, eas t an d wes t, north been called to rule to zanowten, ann trOun litotleriett to Sherbrooke—are raising their indignant protest against this nefarious scheme. Every telegraphic report, every mail, and every newspaper, bring the news of mass meetings and indignant resolutions protesting against the ministerial scheme. Montreal, Quebec, Kingston, Toronto, Hamilton, and every town, every county, every village, and every hamlet, have spoken, or are speaking, in burning• words. The whole country is on fire. The conservative press is raking up the vocabulary of the English language for the strongest words in which to express its protest. This language is no exaggeration ; it does not picture the reality. And truly this scheme of this radical ministry is not of more immoral tendency than it is extraordinary. It has no parallel in English history, nor in any other that I am aware of. In vain has Sir Allan M'Nab, the gallant leader of the conservative opposition, told them in their places in parliament the story of rebellions in England, rebellions in Ireland, and rebellions in Scotland, and asked them to show when the rebels who got them up were ever paid. As the gallant knight told them, rebels were never paid but once. and that was when the Scotch got paid for their king. The ministry with indecent haste seem disposed to carry this measure threm,l, It has been urged that these sentiments may bt regarded as words of course, having nothing but a general import. Those who express these opinions, however, do not hear in mind the straightforward character of the party by whom they are put forth. General Taylor is no diplomatist ; no dealer in that kind of language which is said only to be used to conceal thoughts. It is known of him, publicly, that he is, and ever has been, the advocate of a policy thoroughly protective of the industry of his fellow-citizens ; and when he assures us that he meditates the speedy extinction of the public debt, we cannot but be perfectly aware that he intends to effect this by the agency of a protective tariff alone. Such a man is not to be deluded by our own pet notions of political economy. The distinguishing characteristic of his mind is that plain common sense, which regards it as emphatically the best po licy of a new country to dispense, as much as pos sible, with all ' . he in- the debate in committee has been long and wearisome, dustry of its and has occupied about a fortnight.

COLONIAL OFFICE MORALITY. MR. BENJAMIN HAWES AGAIN! On Thursday night last, a rather barefaced specimen of ministerial shuffling was afforded by the Under Secretary to the Colonies, a gentleman already celebrated for his adroitness in keeping back important information con nected with his department. Mr. W. E. Gladstone had asked some questions relative to the proceedings in Ca nada, with respect to the proposal before the legislature in that colony, to give compensation for the losses sus tained by parties implicated in the late rebellion. The two first of these questions elicited only some general re marks of a rather quibbling description. The last, how ever, was one to which a simple " Yes," or " No," was required. It was " whether any official intelligence had yet been received with respect to these transactions in Canada ; and, if so, " whether the Government was pre pared to lay it on the table." We give Mr. Hawes' reply from the report in the Times : In answer to the third question, he must state that no de. spatches whatever had been received from Lord Elgin with respect to these transactions, either before or since the subject had occupied the attention of the Canadian Assembly, and, therefore, there were no despatches to produce. [Here Sir G. Grey made an observation to the honourable member.] He used the word "despatches" advisedly, because Lord Grey had received a private letter on the subject. (" Hear, hear," from. the Opposition benches.) It was only on yesterday it was re ceived." The worthy ex-soaphoiler seems as difficult to catch as a certain animal whose tail is occasionally rubbed with the material which he has been used to manufacture. First, he slips out of the grasp of Mr. Gladstone with the as sertion that " no despatches whatever" had been received. Next, we find Sir George Grey maki ng a commun i cat i on to him, the purport of which was most lik e ly t o rem i n d the right honourable under secretary that the assertion was rather too bold, in the face of a little fact, of which both were aware. But Mr. Hawes had still a loophole of escape, and flippantly continued that he had "used the word despatches advisedly, because Lord Grey had re ceived a private letter on the subject." Of course he used the word " advisedly." The evasion was premedi tated and deliberate. Mr. Gladstone asked if " official information" had been received. Mr. Hawes said that no "despatches" had been received; and doubtless in tended to escape the importunity of hisquerist by th e quibble. But was not the " private letter" itself, if such a term can be applied to a communication, from the Go vernor General of an important colony, to the head of his department at home, at an important crisis and upon official business, precisely the sort of " official intelli gence" which Mr. Gladstone asked for ? Sir George Grey, who attempted to whitewash Mr. Hawes, told the house that "it showed that the Compensation Bill" —the bill enquired about—" had not passed. It had been read a second time, and was to go into committee, and several amendments were to be proposed." This important in formation Mr. Hawes would have kept from the house ; nay, would have led it to infer that no such bill had ever been proposed ; and had we not fortunately had a press in Canada, we should have been left entirely in the dark as to one of the most glaring outrages ever attempted to be committed by a miserable French faction upon the loyal Canadian people, until it had become law, only to be set aside by the veto of the national Parliament, after which, Sir G. Grey assures us that Lord Elgin " would, no doubt, send a despatch on the subject," and as undoubt edly attempt to gloss over the whole affair to the advan tage of his favourite rebel ministry. Of course, this is all in keeping with Whig ministerial practice. There is a license, apparently, which some MONTREAL, MARCH 1. Californian gold, reciprocity bills, protection and free trade, railroads, and free navigation of the St. Lawrence, bad times, and all the ordinary topics of common dis course, have been banished from the minds of loyal British Canadians, to make way for an excitement such as has not been equalled since those times when, some ten or eleven years ago, they left their homes and their beds in the dead of winter's night to shoulder their mus kets to put down French rebels in Lower Canada, and renegade traitors of British origin in Upper Canada. ' This excitement has been caused by the nefarious scheme of a radical ministry to INDEMNIFY the traitorous scoundrels who got up the rebellion ! The details of the scheme are briefly these :—Mr. L. H. Lafontaine, the French Canadian premier of Lower Canada, has introduced into the House of Assembly a series of resolutions for the payment of rebellious losses, by issuing debentures on the consolidated revenue fund of the province; and one of these resolutions provides for the payment of the losses of rebels. The radicals in the house are all powerful in numbers, and the resolutions have already passed through a committee, and the report of that committee has been adopted by a large majority. They will pass the upper house, filled as it is with the creatures of the government; and they may receive the assent of the Governor, weak as has been his career in Canada. ated, in 1 proces , drying, End finishing woven fabrics ; and he could not better explain to the jury the important nature of the invention, or the improvement effected by it, than by banding in a specimen of the cloth as produced by this n ting it with a piece as pre. ared by the ordinary rigid finishing machines. (Two pieces of muslin were here produced.) The stiff web was not sub mated to the operation of the patented machine, whilst the other was ; and he would leave it to the touch and sight of the jury, in order that they might see the differ ence in the fabric. He might state that the object of the patent was to give that elastic finish to the fabric which was necessary to make it a marketable article. By the old method, the web, when bleached, was placed on a machine which was called a clamping machine, which con sisted of two lateral rails, along which were placed several clamps, which caught the selvidge of the web. A screw was then applied to give the web the required tension, and it was then allowed to dry. (The clamping machine was here produced.) They would perceive that by this ma chine the web remained stationary during the process of drying. In the completion of cotton goods the use of starch was necessary; and before the invention of the patentees was first brought out the method resorted to for giving cloth this elastic finish was by the human hands— taking th gonal po )f the elotl m by t , and stretching it in a dia , whilst it was being dried. That was the r in which cloth was finished anterior to rand's_ patent —a model of which was a patent callec then in court, h he would explain. The object ) dry the web t eans of placing it upon a set of pins on each of the lateral frames, as used in the ordinary clamping machine. By this process the cloth was also kept in a fixed position during the process, and produced only what was called the rigid finish. This patent, however, expired, and it was open to all the world to use it as might be useful. Mr. Bridson had his attention called to the framing of a ma chine, which would have the effect of causing the weft and warp to go diagonally, from side to side, in order to produce the effect (though much improved) which had been formerly produced by the human hands. In fact the whole invention consisted in giving to the machine of Morand the motion of a parallel ruler impelled for wards, but making the distending motion at the same time. The first part of the machine he admitted was Morand's, the novelty being the progressive zig-zag pa rallel motion, which only could produce the elastic finish so requisite for the finish of i his cloth. The learned counsel then read a portion of the specification on which he relied, and exhibited a model of both the patented machine and the alleged infringement, the latter of which varied from the former only in making its movement for ward with the cloth,—goine step by step, from right to left whilst the cloth was being put upon the machine. He then supported his view of the law of the case by refer ence to the cases :—Walton v, Potter, as brought before Chief Justice Tyndal ; Morgan v. Seward, and Duke V. Pratt, in which Baron Alderson said that in the invention before him (a gasometre) there never were two things so different in form to the eye as the two machines before him. It was true, that for a mere principle a patent could not be taken out; the patent must be for some mode of producing a manufacture, or of carrying out a principle ; but if the patentee had succeeded in inventing a mode of carrying out his principle he was entitled to claim all other modes of carrying out the same principle, and any 'other mode than his would be considered a piracy. The questions for the jury to decide would be, first, as to the point of infringement; secondly, as to the validity of the specification, and thirdly, as to the question of novelty. He had, however, no fear for his client's case as the infringement was too transparent to be passed over by any intelligent jury. A number of engineering witnesses were then called and examined for the plaintiffs, in order to prove the infringe ment, and also the novelty of the machine, previous to its being patented. At the rising of the court, the plain tiffs' case was not concluded, nor is it likely to be for a day yet at least.

THE FELONY BY A CLERGYMAN'S SONS.—At the Middlesex sessions, on Wednesday last, before Mr. Ser geant Adams, and a full bench of magistrates, Charles and John Remington, whose committal on a charge of felony we noticed last week, were indicted, each of them, for stealing a pair of trousers. The prisoners pleaded guilty. The facts connected with the case were given by us last week.—The learned Judge said, that he bad in his hands a letter from one of the parents of the prisoners, and proceeded to read the letter in cin undertone to the magistrates on the bench. The letter contained :the names of several very respectable persons, and was couched in very pathetic and feeling terms ; in addition to which, it alluded to matters of a private nature, which were not intended to be made public, and therefore it was not read aloud. The learned judge said that it was a very painful case, and taking into consideration all the circumstances, the sentence was, that Charles be kept to hard labour for three months, in Westminster Bridewell ; and John, for the like period in Cold Bathfields.—The prisoner John said that both he and his brother were extremely sensible of the consideration and leniency his lordship had shown them. VARIETIES. ILLEGAL INOCULATION.—At the Dorsetshire assizes, on Friday week, Matthew Squires was indicted for the manslaughter of Samuel Strand, by inoculating him for the small-pox. The prisoner, at the express request of the parents of the deceased, a child of three years of age, inoculated him at a time when the small. pox preirailed in the neighbourhood. The child died about fourteen days afterwards from small-pox. After the examination of the first witness, some communication took place between the learned Chief Justice and the counsel in the cause, and the prisoner then pleaded " guilty." Lord Denman, in pass ing sentence, said he was very glad this indictment had been preferred, and he hoped it would be made generally public, that if a party ventured to inoculate another, he was not only liable to imprisonment under the statute, but in case death ensued he was liable to be indicted for the crime of manslaughter. He considered it a very grievous offence, as it might not only occasion the death of the party inoculated, but thousands besides, as it was impossible to see where the mischief would end. How ever, taking into consideration the extenuating circum stances which had been urged by the prisoner's counsel, and the punishment which the prisoner had already un dergone, he thought he might be justified in passing a nominal sentence, which would be imprisonment for two days. MURDER AT THE BRITANNIA BRIDGE.—At the Car narvon assizes, on Wednesday, John Pritchard, charged with the wilful murder of John Rowlands, at the Britannia bridge, on the night of the 29th of July last, was acquitted. The case excited the greatest interest, not only from the crime of murder seldom occurring in this portion of the country, but also from the mystery and obscurity with which the whole of the circumstances relating to the fear ful deed were enveloped. Thomas Powell, a sailor, stated that he was confined in Carnarvon gaol, and whilst there the prisoner voluntarily confessed that he had had a quar rel with Rowlands, concerning a young woman, who used often to go down to the prisoner and remain with him all night, whilst he was on duty ; that Rowlands had upbraided him, on which he, (Pritchard,) charged him with having told his wife of the woman. This was denied by Row lands, when the prisoner picked up a piece of iron and struck the deceased, who said—" Don't kill me, John." He repeated the blows, and then threw the deceased from off the stage. The prisoner said that he had filed a key, and that he and the deceased used often to rob the stores. (This key was found on the person of the murdered man.) The witness had been charged with stealing bread, but he was acquitted on his trial. He varied in cross-examination considerably, as t o th e ti mes an d n i g h ts on which his com munications with the prisoner took place. In a subse quent trial the prisoner was found guilty of theft, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment Stneral i~rPllaitn, Sir Charles Napier took his departure for the Saturday evening.

East on for 34d THE UNITY OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. —Between the events described in the opening of the Book of Genesis and those at the conclusion of the Apocalypse the inter val cannot be less than about six thousand years. Ob serve, now, there are the same characteristics in both these books. One is reflected in the other. The Book of Genesis reveals to us Almighty God, the Creator of all things very good ; Adam, for me d f rom the earth ; Eve, taken from his side ; the S erpent i n Paradise ; Man tempted. and driven from Eden ; and the way of the Tree of Life guarded by a flaming sword ; and a promise made in mercy that the seed of the Woman should bruise the serpent's head. Such are the first records of Holy Scrip ture. Pass now from the first chapters of Genesis to the last chapters of the Apocalypse. The same God is re vealed, seated on His throne ; heaven and earth ado re Him : man also i s there, Adam is there in Christ, the second Adam : Eve also is there, in the bride of the second Adam, the Church : Paradise also is there, not lost, but regained : and the Tree of Life is there, no lon ger fenced with a flaming brand, but open to all for the healing of the natzons: and promised to all who overcome. We see also there the Dragon, that old serpent. Accord ing to the first prophecy of Scripture he has bruised the heel of the woman's seed. Christ has been wounded and slain; but He liveth, and was dead; and, behold, He is alive for evermore, and has the keys of hell and of death ; and He has now bruised the serpent's head, and He chains him, and opens the bottomless pit, and casts the old serpent into the lake of fire and brimstone, there to remain for ever. Here we see striking evidence of unity in the whole texture of the sacred volume; and when we consider how long a period of time separates the events of the Book of Genesis from those of the Apoca lypse, we recognise a remarkable confirmation of the truth, that the history and the prophecy are from the same Divine hand, and that the events themselves which at t u h e rt h y e so d :, s e s a c n r d i b e y e a a r r e s u a n r d e e r a s t h e o n c e o n d a t r y o .

We should be as happy as the most sanguine of the Society of Friends to see such a mode of settlement adopted; but, in common with some other people, are rather doubtful as to its practicability. We are willing, however, to be convinced ; and there is unfortunately just now a wide field for the experiment being made. Let Mr. Bright, and a few coadjutors amongst the Peace Society, try their persuasive eloquence in settling the dis putes between the Sikhs and the East India Company, or Mr. Cobden use his influence in the settlement of the complicated affairs of Austria, Italy, and Sicily. Mr. John O'Connell might take in hand the restoration of the unfortunate Pope Pius, and Mr. Brotherton effect an amicable arrangement between Russia and the Porte. If successful, of course we should be able to dispense with both army and navy, to the great delight of our Financial Reformers. Many people, however, consider that attempting arbi tration in international affairs is beginning at the wrong end • and that we mi g ht w ith a d van t age en d eavour to settle our individual differences by this mode, and thus save largely in the cost of lawyers and police. Thus we might decide whether John Nokes, who picks pockets for a living is better entitled to the watches and other valua• bles which he takes a fancy to than other parties who have bought and paid for them, or whether Thos. Stiles has as much right to punch his neighbour's bead as to run his own against a wall. A happy world this would be to live in if we could regulate it after this fashion ; but the num ber of arbitrators required to keep us all straight would be rather a large one. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Two o'clock, p.m. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.-THIS DAY - - The arrivals coastwise and from Ireland, since this day week, comprise little more than a moderate quantity of Oatmeal, and a finr sannly of 11S.1r. . . Luau.; (nose rrom America containing merely 1,579 qrs. of Indian Corn, against 9,784 exported during the same period to Ireland: the north and south of Europe, however, furnish a goad supply of Wheat, a moderate import of Oats and Flour, with a few parcels of Beans thence and Egypt. At the opening of our Corn Exchange this morning, the holders of Wheat were more firm, and required a small ad vance for very prime samples, which not being complied with, a tolerably fair amoun t of business was transacted in the gene ral qualities of this Grain, on the terms of Tuesday last. American Flour met enquiry, but being held at 235. 3d. to 235. 6d., and wholesale buyers refusing to pay more than 235., at which some quantity would have been taken, the business upon the whole was rather limited in amount. Barley and Malt, upon a moderate sale, remained at late prices. In Beans there was no alteration, except Egyptians, wh were held more firmly, and 245. required for best parcels. Pease no variation.
