41 ottrp. LINES ON THE LATE ROYAL NUPTIALS. BY JAMES MONTGOMERY. Ocean and land the globe divide, Summer and winter share the year, Darkness and light walk side by side, And earth and heaven are always near. Though each be good and fair alone, And glorious in its time and place, In all, when fitly pair'd, are shown More A their Maker's power and grace. Then may the union of young hearts, So early and so well begun, Like sea and shore, in all their parts, Appear as twain, but be as one. Be it like summer; may they find ► Bliss, beauty, hope, where er they roam ! Be it like winter, when confin'd— Peace, comfort, happiness, at home! Like day and night—sweet interchange Of care, enjoyment, action, rest ; Coldness nor absence ne'er estrange Hearts by unfailing love possess'd. Like earth's horizon, be their scenes Of life a rich and varied ground! And, whether lowering varied Serous Heaven all above it and around! When land and ocean, day and night, When time and nature cease to be, Be their inheritance in light, Their union one eternity ! THE WAR WITH CHINA. (From the Morning Herald of Friday.) From sundry questions addressed, last night, to Lord John Russell and to Lord Palmerston, it appears that ministers have no " official" intelligence as to any proclamation of war against China. (These men never have " official" accounts of any thing, at the proper time.) It appeared, further, that the war will be carried on at the cost of the united Empire, and in the name of the Queen of England; and that no mes sage from the Throne twill be sent to the Houses of Parliament. Hero again we are to he favoured with a violation of all precedent by the Queen's reputable advisers. This war with China may lead to results of a fearful character. England is not in a position lo engage wantonly in war. Her cause of quarrel ought to be, beyond the possibility of cavil, just. She ought to stir only in the maintenance of her true interests, in the assertion of her honour. England, under her present rulers, has not stirred to defend her interests or:lie honour in cases in which both have been grossly assaiked by Russia, by France, and by the United States. 'England is now about to vent her wrath upon China„\in a case in which truth and justice are on the side of our opponents. The present occupants of office have so conducted the affairs of the country, as to swell its expenditure greatly beyond its income. This result, too, has been brought about simultaneously with the establishment of a course of policy, unparalleled in point of mean ness and indecision. The cowardice, and stupidity, and baseness of the " Liberals" have cost England more than the most manly and unflinching course of action could have done. We have truckled to Russia, and to France—yet we have saved no money by the debasing experiment. We keep our army below the level of efficiency which the services imposed upon it require ;—we starve our navy—yet still we run in debt. New taxes are the concomitants, under whig rule, of the basest parsimony in the administration of the naval and military services ; and at the very mo ment when new taxes have been rendered indispensa ble by whig folly, in other respects, our rulers think fit to rush into an unprovoked and most expensive war with China. The additional pressure upon our revenue will, moreover, be surpassed in intensity by the additional pressure upon our trade. The French have offered considerable obstruction to our commerce on the coast of Africa, and in South America—while Russia has driven us from certain profitable markets in the East of Europe. It has now become the gra cious pleasure of our ministers to destroy our trade with China—to hand over, in fact, that trade to our rivals of the United States. We have truckled to Russia and France—because France and Russia are strong ; we seek to bully China, because China is reported weak. Yet it is far from improbable, that we may meet strong foes, when we anticipate only a feeble one; it is not by any means unlikely that having quailed before the armaments of France and Russia in other quarters of the globe, we may yet be doomed to encounter them in the Chinese seas. The French government has actually directed a fleet of observation to follow our squadron to the coast of China. The navy of England was not wont to be " dogged" from hemisphere to hemisphere ! " We cannot be expected," exclaimed Lord John Russell and his fellow-pillagers of the public purse, " to keep up war establishments in time of peace." Where, however, is peace to be found ? We have war in India, war on the coast of China, war in Canada— and the signs of arming for war on the part of all the great nations in Europe! Our fleet, all the while, is dismantled and only half-manned—the pretext being the inability of the country to sustain the expense of protecting her coasts and her trade. Yet money by millions is about to be wasted in the prosecution of our disgraceful outrage on the laws of China—money, which, if judiciously applied to the uses of our navy, might enable us to defy the combined fleets of Russia, France, and the United States !

DESIGN OF THE POSTAGE COVER.—In less than half the usual space for the face of a letter, the artist, W. MulreadY, R.A., has placed groups of upwards of forty figures. In the centre is Britannia in the act of despatching four winged messengers. The figures on each side of her are groups emblematical of British commerce, and communication with all parts of the world. On the right are East Indians on elephants, directing the embarkation of merchandise ; next Arabs, with camels laden ; next, Chinese ; on the left, Ame rican Indians concluding a treaty, and negroes packing casks of sugar. The whole design occupies rather more than an inch in width along the face of au ordinary envelope. In what may be called the foreground on the one side, a young man is reading a letter to his mother, whose clasped hands express her emotion at its contents; on the other side, is a group of three figures, each one eagerly pressing around to read, or at least catch a sight of the welcome letter.— Westminster Review. WAITING TO " GO OVER THE WAY."—Many versons complain that Sir Robert Peel's conduct is inexplicable. They cannot imagine why he so patiently stops on the oppo sition side of the house, when by a vigorous move he might transfer himself to th e other. And what makes the matter still more of a puzzle to them is, that he ever and anon ex hibits indubitable symptoms of an intention, nay a desire, to "go over the way." But Sir Robert's case is not so enig matical as it appears, and may be illustrated by an old story, which, if it be only a juke, nevertheless carries a good moral with it. " One day," says the narrator, "I observed a sim ple countryman standing on tip-toe against the Mansion House, manifestly with the intention of crossing over to the bank. On my return that way, there he was on tip-toe still ; and so, on a third, fourth, and I don't know how many visits to the spot, I found him fidgetting to make a start, but not an inch nearer the object he had his eye upon than he was in the morning. At last, out of a mixture of compassion and curiosity, I asked the poor fellow what he wanted, that he waited there so long, anti his answer was that he wanted to go over the way to the bank (as I suspected), but that he was waiting till all the carriages had passed." The appli cation to Sir Robert is too palpable to need pointing out ; but if he continues waiting till the Irish agitators have done crossing his path, he will find the obstacles to his " going over the way' as interminable as the co untryman did the carriages, and, like him, throw away all h is patience at last. —Morning Herald. fniptrial piritaintitt: HOUSE OF LORDS.—TkMRSDAY: EAST AND WEST INDIA PRODUCE. Lord SEAFORD, on presenting a petition very numerously signed against any relaxation of the duties on East India pro duce, took that occasion of calling their lordships' attention to the subject of an experiment which was being tried in the West Indies—an experiment of vast importance to the inte rests of proprietors of West India property. Their lordships were aware that in carrying out this experiment the staple commodities of those colonies were diminished, and the ex penditure of producing them increased. Their lordships, he felt assured, would be disposed to afford that protection which was fair and reasonable to the petitioners. The colo nies were placed in such a position that they required all the protection which the mother country could give. He would now move to refer the petition to the select committee sitting for inquiring into the subject matter of the East India peti tion which had been some short time ago presented to their lordships.—Referred to the select committee. Lord ELLENBOROUGII said he held in his hand a petition from Glasgow, but as its prayer was similar to that of the petition from the directors of the East India Company, he would not trouble their lordships with any remarks, but move to have it referred to the select committee,—Referred accordingly. Lord E LLENBOROUGH presented a bill to provide for the more efficacious practice of " vaccination," which, after a few words from the Marquis of Normanby and the Earl of Had dington, was read a first time, and ordered to be read a se cond time, and the discussion taken in committee on Mon day. The Marquis of NORMANBY stated that, in consequence of the question put to him on a former night by the Marquis of Westmeath, he had made inquiries, and he found that the statement as to the commutation of the sentence of death passed upon the man named Lynam, convicted for murder recently in Dublin, was correct. He learned•that there had already been executed for that crime four of that man's ac complices, and another afterwards had received a commuta tion of the sentence of death to transportation for life. To discuss the grounds of the commutation in that house would be exceedingly inconvenient. Lord MONTEAGLE, in answer to Lord Redesdale, said that the returns respecting the destruction of " Exchequer re cords" would be, he expected, ready by Monday. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TuURSDAY. A great number of petitions on various subjects were pre sented. A new writ was ordered for the borough of Wood stock, in the room of the Marquis of Blandford, now Duke of Marlborough. _ _ _ PRIVILEGE. Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented a petition from Mr. Han sard, stating that he had been served with a new writ of in quiry for damages, and praying for the protection of the house. The petition was read at length by the clerk from the table of the house. Sir W. FOLLETT asked if there was not another action ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said another action had certainly been commenced, and the venue laid in Hertfordshire. The Sergeant-at-Arms stated that four of the officers of the house, namely—Charles Stein, William Bellamy, J. Lead, and John Mitchell, had been served with notices of action on the behalf of Mr. Burton Howard. A writ had been issued against the Deputy-Sergeant, but it had not been served. On the suggestion of Lord John Russell, the Sergeant-at- Arms and the messengers were ordered to hand in these notices. Mr. WOODHOUSE gave notice, that unless Dr. Bowring's report on the continental commercial league were presented this week, he should move that it be presented forthwith. (Hear.)' The hon. member also gave notice of a question to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with regard to the exclusion of the bills of exchange from the inquiry into the banking system ; also respecting the £1 notes in Scotland and Ireland. Mr. EASTHOPE gave notice that, soon after Easter, he would move that dissenters be relieved from the payment of church-rates. ..__._ Mr. Humz gave notice that, this day fortnight, he would move that the pension of £21,000 to the King of Hanover be suspended while he remained sovereign of that state. (Hear.) The hon. member also postponed his motion relative to the Turkish question till that day fortnight. WAR WITH CHINA. Mr. M`KINNON begged to ask the noble lord whether the government were aware that the governor-general had de clared war against China, as reported ? Lord J. RUSSELL said the government were not in pos session of official information of any act amounting to a declaration of war. Directions had been given by the go vernment to the governor-general to make certain prepara tions ; and although no official intelligence had been recived, no doubt those preparations had given rise to the report. He spoke, however, only from conjecture; he had no official information whatever. _ Sir R. PEEL---Supposing that the report were to prove true, and that a declaration of war had been made, he would like to put a few questions to the government. Ist. Sup posing such a war were made, was it to be carried on on account of this country, and at the expense of the United Empire? 'idly. Whether, supposing the report were true, it was the intention of her majesty's governikent to bring down any message to parliament announcing their intention to resort to hostilities ? Lord PALMERSTON apprehended that any communication which might take place with the government of China, would be carried on by the authority of, :cud in the name of, the Queen of Great Britain. Whatever assistance might be afforded by the governor-general to us in any operations that might take place against China, would be lent to this country, and would not be on the account of the East India Company. It was not the intention of the government to bring down any message to the house upon the matter. Sir R. PEER had said, supposing that war was proclaimed, in that event he wished to inquire whether any formal mes sage would be sent down ? • Lord PALMERSTON.—The communications which would take place between this country and the government of China would take place in the name of the sovereign of Great Britain, and not cn account of the East India Company. (Laughter.) Sir U. PEEL.—III the case of wat entered into by the Indian government, and on its own account, he could under stand why there should be no message, because it would be ruled by precedent. But in the case of a war entered into on account of the British government, at the charge of the British crown, and in the name of her majesty—such being the state of things, he apprehended that the house ought to have some formal notice of it. Lord PALMERSTON had used the word " communications," not the word "hostilities." (Laughter.) Mr. PALMER begged to ask whether the instructions sent alt to the governor-general of India differed from those which had been sent to Sir F. Maitland ? Lord PALMERSTON'S reply was inaudible. Mr. IlmutrEs said the noble lord had laid upon the table certain documents relative to the communications that had taken place between the governor and the parties claiming compensation for the opium destroyed. None of these papers came down later than the 13th of June, 1839, and he wished to know whether there were any additional documents on the subject to be laid before the house. He also wished to know if there were any further documents with respect to the instructions sent out from that country to the British super intendent at China ? Lord PALMERSTON said all the communications that had taken place between the parties claiming compensation and the government, had been laid on the table. With regard to the other question, all papers which had been called for by the motion, and everything bearing upon the question had been laid on the table. LAW REFORM. Mr. AGLIONBY said it had been intimated that certain law reforms were about to be introduced, and among the rest that two new judges were to be appointed to the Court of Chancery. He begged to ask the noble lord whether the reform was to be limited to the appointment of these two judges. Lord J. RUSSELL could hardly give an answer to the question without anticipating the statement which would shortly be made by his noble friend the Lord Chancellor, on introducing the bill in the other house. HILL COOLIES Sir J. GRAHAM said that in 1828 a commission was ap pointed by the Governor-General of India in council to insti tute inquiries and take evidence as to alleged abuses in the treatment of Hill Coolies in that country. Another com mission was subsequently appointed of persons of distinction and eminence of Calcutta, which had made a report. Was the noble lord cognisant of the existence of any such docu ment. Losd J. RUSSELL was quite aware of the appointment of a commission on the subject of Hill Coolies. He (Lord J. Russell) would state, in reply to the questions put to him, that the right hon. baronet, in saying that the document alluded to bore upon the general question, was mistaken. It did not bear upon the prohibition of the emigration of the Hill Coolies to the West Indies previouslyto the prohibition. Sir J. GRAHAM said he understood there was a report drawn up on this subject by a competent board in India and he also heard it was the intention of the government to in troduce a measure touching this question into parliament. He wished to know if the noble lord intended in the absence of that document by a law on the subject, to reverse the decision come to prohibiting the emigration ? or did he pro pose to bring the measure on simultaneously with the report? or to postpone the introduction of the former until next session, in order to give time for the receipt and for the con sideration of the latter ? Lord J. RUSiELL would only say, in reply to the ques tions put, that he should have been glad to have availed him self of the report alluded to ; but that neither he nor his right hon. friend, the President of the Board of Control, had received any such document. Lord STANLEY said that it had become generally known that an ordinance by a local legislature at Demerara had issued to encourage emigration, which had been sent over for g a p p ua p vn r ei e o r (In v a eb l ye t n o atn t h he oardd g ed o ri s v ia e nl r l n ec i wo u eu e dn n .c t ilTa That, oe h r o v t m e ht eue directionh T e w h e i s v , e r h , oowwf was ts v h e ee r e , h ec uo t ro e : e n o i a n i s i g d o e v r e e r d n m s a e t n i s t fa a e s t u t r o y h eHseo wished s o h f e d m t e u as k u r u e e w whi w ch t w h o e u r l e d a ü b; objection to lay on the table a co py of the ordinanc e Lord J. ii.ussELL said his n oble friend was quite correct in statinc , that such an ordinan ce as th at a ll uded to had been forwarded' to that country, but it was not the fact that any order in council to the effect mentioned had been sent out to Demerara; bun a despatch had been forwarded to the go vernor, accompanied by a sketch of a n or di nance, which it was h o ped, would, if passed, be eonsidered satisfactory to Government and the colonists. It was not usual to give a copy of such documents to the ordinance in question, but he he should have no objection to lay on the table copies of the despackhes on this subject. Lord STANLEY asked whether there would be'any objec tion to the production of the reasons alleged for the dis allowance of the ordinance. Lord J. RUSSELL said the reasons would be found in the despatches alluded to by A a motionityfourfanl3o6the tu r trialB6 . of the Bude lights was carried S motion fotirletleleaupmpositnatumeeesnteffofeeatiusgeltehcet comMinr.ittSeLeArOEinquire into Y h l u e t a oi l o t nn h of the i n F li t a ß b s i t r an .

HOUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. The Lord CHANCELLOR presented his promised bill, understood to be respecting new judges for the Court of Clnncery, but which he called a bill " to facilitate the ad ministration of justice." He made no observation upon it, as the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer was not present , but simply presented the bill. It was read the first time, his lordship adding that he would hereafter name the day for the second reading. On motion of Lord ELLENBOROUGH, the Vaccination Extension Bill, was read the second time. --- - There was again a conversation between the Marquis of Westmeath and the Marquis of Normanby respecting the commutation of the sentence of death on the convict Lynam, in Dublin ; but no information was elicited, the noble Home Secretary stating that, if a specific motion were submitted, be would endeavour to meet it. After the presentation of many petitions on various sub jects, their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. After the presentation of an immense number of petitions, Mr. Fox MAuLt presented the reports of the poor law commissioners, containing also remarks on past and pro. jected measures regarding the poor, and of the inspectors of prisons, Scotland. Mr. CRAWFORD stated that, on Monday, he should pre sent a petition from persons interested in the opium delivered at Canton. _ _ Mr. WODEHOUSE stated that on Tuesday he should move ' an address to her Majesty, praying that she would be pleased to order the report of Dr. Bowring, relative to the Prussian- Germanic League, to be laid on the table of the house " forthwith." Mr. ACKLAND asked when the papers respecting the grant of education would be presented. Lord J. RUSSELL answered that he had already presented them, and that they would be printed forthwith. Lord LINCOLN asked when the constabulary bill, which the Under Secretary for the Home Department had obtained leave to bring in, would be presented. Mr. F. MAULE intimated that he had received so many suggestions, that the bill was altered, but it would be pre sented soon. Mr. GOOULBURN inquired whether despatches had•-been received to the effect that, in the legislative council of New South Wales, propositions were made for the establishment of schools in which the tenets of the Roman Catholic faith were to be taught. Lord J. RUSSELL' answered that there had not been re ceived any such official communication. Sir J. GRAHAM repeated a question that he formerly put, as to whether the Government had received any official com munications with regard to hostilities between the British and Chinese vessels, of which Lord J. Russell admitted that he had received private information. Lord J. RUSSELL again answered that no official informa tion had been received on the subject. The letters received were not such as he could produce to the house. Sir J. GRAHAM continued—Was there no communication by the last mail? Lord J. RUSSELL rejoined—none. Sir J. GRAHAM asked whether, by the last arrival from India, no further intelligence repecting the proceedings at Canton had been received. Lord PALMERSTON answered that uo accounts later than those already laid on the table of the house had been received —no official accounts. His lordship, shortly before the house adjourned, said that since he gave the former answer, he had received dispatches from China, dated October and Novem ber 3, and which should be printed by Monday. The first represented that arrangements had beeh made for re-opening the trade; the ships, however, to remain below the port, disturbances arose, and led to the action which had been no ticed in the newspapers, and the arrangements were conse quently broken off. Mr. ENVAILT asked the President of the Board of Control wilet.hcr I.e was able to give any further information regard ing the growth of tea in India ; and whether he had any communication to make respecting the letting of free lands in that country. Sir J. HODNOUSE answered that he should have no ob jection to give all the information he was in possession of upon both points. On motion of Lord J. RUSSELL (his lordship deferring the question of privilege arising out of ti.e Serjeant-at-Arms' communicatiou and evidence) the house, after some discus sion, in which Sir E. Sugden, Mr. Pemberton, &c. took part, resolved into committee on the printed papers (sum mary protection) bill, in which, it will be seen, a desultory discussion also ensued, and amendments were proposed. Mr. JONES moved, as an amendment, a clause to subject persons giving false evidence before committees of the House of Commons to the pains and penalties of perjury, though such evidence be not given on oath." After extended discussion, the committee divided on it, and it was negatived by —ayes, 20 ; noes, 120 ; majority against it, 100. On motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the house then resumed the consideration of Messrs. Hansard's petition, representing that Stockdale had commenced another action ; and his lordship proposed to pursue the course adopted regarding the former actions, and he moved that, in commencing such action, John Joseph Stockdale had been guilty of contempt of the privileges of the house. After short discussion, and opposition to it from Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Law, &c., the house divided, and the resolution was carried by—ayes, 98; noes, 35; majority in its favour, 63. The house resolved into committee of supply, in which Mr. Maeauley moved the remaining army estimates. M. Meyerbeer has been made a chevalier of the order of St. Ernest by the Duke of Saxe Gotha, on occasion of a grand musical composition made by him for the opening of the theatre of Gotha. The solicitors to the assignees under Chambers bankruptcy sent in a bill for £350, of which £305 was struck off on taxa tion. One item disallowed was a charge of £29 18s. 6d. for circulars convening a meeting of the creditors. We understand that the breadth of land sown with wheat is this year greater than for several past years, and at the same time that the stocks in the hands of farmers are much more considerable than at a corresponding period in 1839. The Archbishop of Canterbury has been pleased to confer upon the Rev. Thomas Jessop, 8.D., vicar of Wighill, Yorkshire, the degree of doctor in divinity, in sole consi deration of his eminence in learning and the high respect ability of his clerical character. _ MURDER. — Notice has been issued from the office of the Secretary of State, offering £2OO reward for the discovery of two persons who, on Monday night last, attacked and bar barously murdered Shadrach Lewis, of Parkydroifa, in the county of Pembroke. On Wednesday evening last, some villains contrived to ob tain ingress to the bed-room of Mr. E. Hulrue, Boardman street, Manchester, and took from a drawer upwards of £2OO in notes and cash. £2O reward is offered for the apprehen sion of the thieves. FLEETWOOD.—We understand that the lighthouse which is erecting at this port, under the superintendence of Captain Denham, R.N. is expected to be ready in a short time. It is supposed that the first light will be shown early in April.— Preston Pilot. We are informed that such is the pleasin g r , progress of tem perance among the working population of Birmingham that the consumption of beer, since Christmas, supplied this:A.loi the beer-houses, has fallen more than one-third from the quantity usually consumed at corresponding periods.—Bir mingh ana Advertiser. The cod fishery is at present prosecuted with a spirit and success hitherto unprecedented. It is estimated that during the bygone week not fewer than from 6000 to 7000 have been taken on the bank off Douglas Head ; the average price vary ing from 9d. to is. each. Immense quantities are forwarded by steam to Liverpool, exclusive of those purchased by the numerous " runners" for the English market.—Mona beral. QUITE ROMANTIC.—A Mr. Wood, of Broadstairs, is an nounced to have received the appointment of page to the Queen; and the papers say this lucky Mr. Wood, when a little boy, was found by the royal party sleeping on the beach at Ramsgate, when the Duchess of Kent asked him if he would like to enter her service. He, of course, said he had no objection, and was made footman to the Queen. An attorney, named Else, rather diminutive in his stature, and not particularly respectable in his character, once met Mr. Jekyll. " Sir," said he, " I hear you have called me a pettifogging scoundrel. Have you done so, sir ?"

THE MARQUIS CAMDEN.—This venerable nobleman, on Wednesday last, paid into the Bank of England, as teller of the exchequer, the sum of £23,536 135., which, added to the sums previously given to the nation by his lordship, makes the amount voluntarily surrendered by him no less than three hundred and forty-two thousand and sixty-six pounds. TRIALS.—(From a Yorkshire Correspondent.) — A coun trymen thus lately uubosomed himself to a " Ranter" preacher, who took occasion to ask him how he felt himself. Why, sir," quoth Hodge, " I've had trials as big as gae v6locks (iron crowbar) to swallow, but th' grease oth' Lord bad softened them, and they slipped down my throat like tal low candles."—Preston Chronicle. VALUABLE MINE.—A remarkably strong and valuable vein of lead ore has lately been discovered, and is now work ing, in the plantation near Jenkin Hill, in Thornthwaite. As much as eight tons of pure metal have been raised by two workmen in about a fortnight. Numerous extraordinary massive specimens of solid ore have already been taken out, varying from two to five cwt. each. It is considered to be the strongest vein of solid ore ever cut in this neighbour hood. The shareholders' prospects are at present very flat tering.—Whitehaven Herald. The command on the Brazil station has been offered to Rear-Admiral Sir James Alexander Gordon, K.C.8., and no flag-officer will in future be sent to the Cape. How far the Brazil command will extend, or who will have charge of the African coast, we are not aware; but it is believed that Commodore Sulivan's successor will have charge of the Cape. We further understand, that a commodore is to be sent into the Pacific, and that another commodore will have charge of the African coast.—Hampshire Telegraph. CATTLE CHALLENGE!—The following challenge for 1,000 guineas, open to breeders and feeders of sheep in all Eng land, appears in the Doncaster Gazette :--One hundred shorn wether lamb-hogs, bred and fed within twelve miles of Blyth, in the county of Nottingham, not exceeding sixteen months old at the time of showing, will be ready to be ex hibited against the same number and description of sheep (on the 28th of May next, at Blyth), that are bred and fed within twelve miles of any point in England, for 1,000 guineas. The stakes will be made on application to Mr. Inett, Barnby Moor, near Retford, any time when accepted. THE WEATHER.—We have had another week of delight fully fine weather,—the sun shining brightly during the day, and the sky clear and spangling in the night. The operations of the farmer in casting his corn seed to the ground have gone on briskly and advantageously. A bushel of March dust is said to be worth a king's ransom : we hope the old proverb will not be belied on this occasion. The silvery snow-drop, the golden crocus, the bright hepatica, and other earlier harbingers of spring have already unfolded their sim ple and pleasing beauties, and given cheerfulness and anima tion to the flower garden,—while the thrush, and other early songsters of the grove, have commenced "warbling their na tive wood-notes wild."—Manx Liberal. NEW BANK OF ENGLAND NOTE. — It has always been contended that beauty of design and workmanship is one of the best securities against forgery. This is at last felt even by the Directors of the Bank of England, and a new bank note is in preparation from a design by Sir Richard Westma cott, to be engraved by J. H. Robinson, and is expected to contain every beauty which art is capable of giving to it. What will be in this respect the character of the postage stamps, may be inferred from the artists who are employed in the production of them. We need only mention the names of W. Mulready, W.

', THE GERMAN LEAGUE AND THE CORN-LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. " Tell me of corn ! That was my speech—and I will speak't again The people had more absolute power, I say their nourish'd disobedience fed The ruin of the state." 37, Wood-street, March 10, 1840. Sir,—The popular outcry at this moment, is for a repeal of the corn-laws ; and hired lecturers are progressing through the country, in many instances giving a false colouring to this most important and difficult question of legislation, for the purpose of forcing the government into a compliance with the demands of the " Milocracy," who, under an apprehen sion that the future demand for their productions will be di minished by the natural competition of other countries, think, (or profess to think) to find a remedy in a measure which, if complied with, will reduce the value of the home trade without augmenting the foreign. One of the hacknied arguments in favour of a repeal of the corn-laws is that they prevent the exportation of British manufactures to European countries producing corn. An assumption is here made, and the inference calculated to be drawn by the attendants on- the corn-law lectures—that the countries alluded to produce little or nothing but corn ; or that if they do manufacture at all, it is only because England will not take their corn in exchange for her manu factures. It is also asserted that our exports to Continental Europe are already considerably diminished during the last few years, and this impression has taken root even among members of of the legislature itself. The proper way of dealing with so gross a fallacy is to exhi bit facts. The following table is from the Board of Trade, and it would have been brought down to 1839 but from the circumstance of the annual official report published being kept back, waiting matter from the Poor-law Commission ers : British Manufactures and Productions exported to all Europe. In 1828 £14,105,000 1830 15,954,000 1836 18,970,000 1838........ showing an increase upon the year 1838 over 1828 of £7,598,000. • Of these exports about £9,000,000 are annually exported to Germany and Holland, whilst our imports do not exceed £4,000,000, leaving a balance of £5,000,000 in favour of England, at present paid in specie to this country. According to all hitherto received authorities, this is the most valuable traffic a nation can have ; but new lights have broken in upon us, and all that has the rust of experience on it, is cast aside as useless.* It is also asserted by the " repealers," that if England took her corn from Germany, the Germans would cease to be manufacturers ; this is as great a fallacy as the former. The heated imaginations of the " immediate and absolute repealists" will not permit them to recollect, that the long warfare in which Europe was involved by the ambition of Bonaparte, caused the destruction of all the factories and looms that formerly existed in Germany ' • and that the unin terrupted tranquillity enjoyed since the battle of Waterloo, has encouraged a gradual investment of capital in those arts and manufactures, in which they in olden times excelled, and many of which in fact they imparted to us. That a country like Germany (Saxony in particular), pos sessing in abundance mines of iron, lead, copper, silver, tin, cobalt, arsenic, coal, sulphur, salt, &c., &c., with navigable rivers, good roads, and a most philosophic, patient, and in dustrious population, will retrace itself, and merely till the earth, because England may require some few millions in value of corn annually, is really too absurd to require com ment. But there now exist other causes why Germany must, of necessity, (provided the peace of Europe continues uninter rupted,) become a most formidable manufacturing rival to this country ; and these causes no government could have, or possibly can have effectually provided against. The German confederation," or " Prussian league," is now nearly matured, and may be properly termed a " Rus sian Germanic confederation" against Great Britain ; for it is under Russian auspices this confederation has been pro moted and fostered, and the principles alluded to in the note below ure to be strictly adhered to. A few years since was drawn up " A Memoir on the State of Germany, and her future commercial prospects, under the direction of a Mi nister at St. Petersburgh, and confidentially communicated to several of the German Government," with an express un derstanding that Russia would be the protector of the " German Confederation," and that under its auspices a preference for German manufactures would be given by Russia ; and not only a trade with Turkey and Persia be guaranteed, but that a commercial route should be opened into central India. Russia has now Persia and Turkey at her feet—she has driven her frontier forward upon Germany and upon North- • ern India—has the Black and Caspian seas at her command ; and, taking advantage of our rupture with China, has re cently sent an embassy to Pekin.t By the table of exports to Europe, it is evident we have hitherto sustained no injury ; but even those tables show a balance of trade against us as regards Russia, who, for years past, has been striking at our commerce, by the adoption of fiscal measures amounting almost to prohibition. The pro spective is, however, near at hand, and the time has arrived when it becomes the duty of the legislature to enter upon the inquiry (in connection with the corn-laws) of the future com mercial prospects of England, and not be carried away by the representations of the mercantile community to inflict an injury upon the agriculturiits, and thus eventually bring about one common ruin ; for if the corn-laws were repealed, and the German ports opened, whatever amount they receiv ed from us, either in gold or half-manufactured articles (such as yarns, twists, &c.), they would invest towards the exten sion of factories and mills, and thus increase the evil. 3: The repealists, in their discussions, sink the value of the British home trade altogether, which is of infinitely more va.. 7 hue than all the foreign trade we even have done, or shall do.. Supposing the rental of the land to amount £160,000,000 per annum, a repeal of the corn-laws would reduce it to £120,000,000, by which the home trade would be depreciated in a corresponding degree, to the utter ruin of a vast number of shopkeepers and traders. It is a remarkable feature of the timeS, that this portion of the community are so blind to their particular interests upon this important and complicated question. The pretence that the labourer anti artisan will be bene fitted by a repeal, is altogether a delusion, for in proportion as the loaf is reduced, so will the factory owners reduce the wages of their workpeople, and thus in every way will the circulating medium of the country be contracted ; whilst the interest of the national debt will remain the same, and the current expenses of the country (from the position Russia has assumed) go on increasing... The corn-law question is one of the most abstruse charac ter, and it is earnestly to be hoped that the government (now it is about to be discussed again) will not make it a measure of expediency to popular clamour, but go into it with a sin cere intention to support the interests both of the corn grower and the manufacturer, for unless the former is in a flourishing condition the latter must inevitably decline. There are two main considerations :- Ist. What advantage will it be to the artisan and trader if, in proportion as bread falls, wages and profits are to be re duced ? 2nd. In the event, of war or short crops in the countries we are called upon to depend on for corn, how is this country to be protected from famine, or, what is equally bad to the poor, famine prices ? The legislature will also do well to consider that any ma terial alteration in the protection yet given to the agricultu ral interests, may only ameliorate what must eventually take place, viz., the extension of German commerce and wealth, and her manufacturing powers increased to as great an extent as those of Great Britain, whilst the former will be unin cumbered with debt, and with a mere nominal taxation, and the latter burthened with the interest of a heavy national debt, and enormous annual expenses of government. - The following extract from an Augsburgh Gazelle will evince the feeling towards England :—" The English corn bill does our agriculturists but little injury ; it is far more prejudicial to English merchants. At all events, it does not seem likely that Germany will make a treaty with England, for our views and interests are too much opposed to, each other." In fact, turn to vvhatever German document you will, the same tenor of feeling is exhibited. The Germans desire no thing more than to see the corn laws repealed, promising a reciprocal treaty when that is effected, that it is thus they amuse such men as are put out by the Board of Trade (here) to negotiate on commercial matters with some of the first diplomatists in the world. At this moment England presents the humiliating and lamentable spectacle of a mighty nation directing its powers and energies against itself—blinded and hoodwinked by fo reigners, and alternately bullied and cajoled by factions at home. With a decaying trade and revenue, and increased expenditure, great must be the moral energies by which (under Providence) this country will be enabled to hold its position among nations—still " Naught shall England rue. If to herself she prove but true." WILLIAM HULL, * Grotius, Vatel, Puffendorf, and others, hold -Ist. That as the number of inhabitants constitutes the strength of a nation, so its real riches will arise from having a great number of people employed at the expense of other states. 2d. That in the balance of trade (which arises from one state selling more goods than it takes in return, and which is paid in the precious metals) consists the profit of such trade. 3d. That every farthing expended with a foreign state for articles which may be produced at home is a double loss to the nation, as being so much money sent away from the country, and so much loss to the native artisan and labourer, who would be otherwise employed in producing them. These principles have ever been maintained by the Duke of Wellington in and out of power. "l* The Saxons are at this moment actively engaged in opening a trade with the United States and South America, particularly in cotton hose, woollens, &c. ; and the Dutch arc now invited to become parties to the " League," under a promise of a preference to the productions of Java to those of our colonies. — fani;fiiieniial German m.anufactnrer recently told the author that all the profit made by corn exported to England,, is employed in promoting the principles of the Prussian League.

OYSTERS. — The oysters at the British coasts have long been admitted to be the best procurable in Europe. The Romans paid great prices for them, although it is not likely that they would then be taken to Italy in a very fresh state. Of the British coasts, the districts most famous for their oysters are the shores of Kent and Essex. Those found near Milton in Kent, and usually called the " native" oysters, are perhaps the very best ; they are small, round, plump, and white, with thin shells, which are easily opened. The oysters found in the river Coln, on which stands the town of Colchester, in Essex, are also of excellent quality, and arc renowned over the whole island. Marlow has made them classical by causing Justice Greedy, in " A New Way to Pay Old Debts," to say that he had nothing to speak of this morning before breakfast, except a barrel of Colchester oysters. The Coln, near that town, forms a great many arms and creeks exceedingly well suited for the formation of oyster-banks. The Dorsetshire oysters rank next in esti mation to those of Essex. Those of Pool, especially, hold a high reputation, as do those also of Feversham in Kent, of the Isle of Wight, and of Tenby on the coast of South Wales. Vast quantities are carried to the continent from the Kentish coasts. Several hundred vessels were at one time employed annually in this trade alone. In London, during the proper season, the trade in oysters is very considerable, both for exportation into the country and native consump tion. The dealers bestow great pains in preserving and feeding the oysters in tubs, containing an infusion of salt water and a little oatmeal. Besides those on the English shores, oyster-banks are common on the northern coasts of Ireland. The Scottish capital has been, till a recent period, plentifully supplied with good oysters from the Firth of Forth, in its immediate vicinity. Nearly opposite to Leith, there was a large deptit of them, formed around or near the objects bedsn e o a f r islet of Inchkeith. Local poets speak with rapture of the delicious caller (that is. fresh) oysters which were to be had in Edinburgh for evening festivities. From mismanagement, to n ar o ti f fic its ial r s th s e u r p n pl s i i e d d e. from or some other cause, the Edinburgh oysters have greatly degenerated in quality ; and the town has consequently lost Arklow,. a little to the east, and oysters are conveyed thence Sutton, Polebeg, and Dalkey, places but a short way from Dublin, additional supplies procured for the tables of the a th ttr e a c c a t p io it n al, o D n u t b b l e in no i are Irish metropolitans.
