All we kno Is this : no wanderer of the deep bath passed, Nor any harbour hailed her high and gleaming m lblein of eternity and tell us how buried low, _ I dreamt. Methought, amid the howling waves, A tall ship staggered, struggling heavily ; The storm-fiends foamed up from their buried caves, And blended the chafed ocean with the sky ; Amid the din, the sea-bird's piercing cry Mixed with the human shriek and wild farewell, As the black burial waves rose strong and high; And cave and cloud gave back the phrenzied yell Of hundreds as they plunged deep down that watery hell! Then my dream changed, and lo ! a flaming wreck Swept wildly by, and reddeted the wide air : Oh ! what bright terror lighted up the deck ! Forms writhing in the phrenzy of despair! Wildly arose the madly-muttered prayer Above the war of waves and crackling flame ; And dark shapes dropp'd in the dense smoky glare, That awful night, that crowds had loved to name. And talent, beauty, rank, in their bright lists to claim Next a strange vision fixed me, for I stood In the sea's bed, close by a huge ship's side, Wreathed thick with sponge; the grey and heavy flood Its stately cabin's oriental pride Had dimmed with sea-damps; shapes of fear did glide With glaring eyes along, but noiseless all ; And scarce distinguished, round lay scattered wide, With shroud of ocean flowers and seaweed pall, The pilgrims of the sea, abiding God's dread call. Slumber ye not as sound, y e ocean -dead ! As if earth's green trees guarded your repose ? Life is an ocean far more dark and dread : It bath no haven from the wrath of foes ; And the fierce deluge -waters of its woes Rise rude and rough around on every hand, Th' horizon frowning precipices close ; And more than mortal skill it doth demand , To steer life's shattered ship along Fate's rock-bound strand LITERARY NOTICES, Father John; or, Cromwell in Ireland. By S. E. A., Author of " Richard o' York," "The Luddite's Sister," &c. Whittaker, London ; Curry and Co., Dublin ; H. Perris, Liverpool The above work has just made its appearance, dedicated to those far-famed defenders of our Protestant faith—the Rev. H. M'Neile and the Rev. R. J. M`Gbee. We have perused the book with considerable attention, and it gives us pleasure cordially to recommend it to our readers. The writer, we believe, is one of onr fair townswomen, well know❑ in the walks of literature ; and, notwithstanding the many apolo gies modestly set forth in her preface, we must admit she has executed her task with more than ordinary ability. The religious, no less than the historical and political, reader will find in this volume much to interest—much to edify him. The fatal bondage of the devotees of that system which claims for itself the stamp of infallibility is strikingly contrasted with the glorious liberty of the Gospel. The character of Father John is beautifully drawn, as also are those of Kathleen and Allan, but that of Murdoch is, in our estimation, rather too highly coloured. We cannot conceive any human being, uniting in his person the sacred and endearing relationships of brother and cousin, to two of the chief actors in the scenes so ably depicted by the writer, capable of committing the enormities laid to his charge. With this exception, to gether with a want of perspicuity of arrangement observable here and there, we do not deem it too much to say that it is our decided opinion, as well as our sincere hope, that the writer will accomplish the object for which ber interesting work was designed—that of exposing two of the great prac tical errors of Romanism, namely, the " confessional" and the celibacy of her priesthood, and of exhibiting the only sure foundation of a sinner's hope—the free grace of God to all who trust in the all-sufficient sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. REPEAL-THE CORN-EXCHANGE (From the Dublin Evening 3fail.) Since the Father of Repeal has Delahunted the question itself, it can be no blame to us if we Burke the eaput mor tuum of its proceedings. At home the agitation is defunct; and if in transatlantic regions it still shows symptoms of vi tality, it is only because the morbidity prevailing at head quarters has not yet bad time to reach the extremities. At the meeting on Friday last in the Corn-Exchange—whilst the exchequer was a blank as to Irish sympathy, the Ame rican sympathy poured in abundantly in the shape of £4O from " The Young Men's Repeal Association" (making, with preceding contributions, a sum of £110)—of £4O from the Repeal Association of Utica ; and from Louisville the munificent contingent of 250 dollars. _ The nature of the sympathy, and of the services of which it is the bounty money and hire, may be clearly collected from the speech of the head Repealer for Ulster : " Some time ago (said the gentleman), amongst the Ame rican newspapers sent me, was one with the report of the proceedings of a public meeting of the friends of Ireland, at which Mr. Mooney attended, and made an admirable speech in the pure spirit of an O'Connellite, deprecating physical violence, and relying on the effect of moral, peaceful agita tion. An American gentleman who followed him k Counsellor Smith) declared, that he had listened to his eloquent address with great pleasure, and that he fully assented to every sen timent to which he gave utterance, ereept one. Counsellor Smith declared that the point on which he differed from Mr. Mooney was this—that Mr. Mooney declared his faith in the power of moral suasion ; but he (Counsellor Smith) had no faith in the case in moral suasion ; that, in his opinion, justice was to be wrung forth from the blood-stained hand of England only by' gunpowder suasion and American sua sion ;' and this was hailed by the assembly with peals of ap- plause." It is quite unnecessary to analyse the speeches of the Lord Mayor of Dublin on the occasion; our readers have them by heart. The only thing like`novelty is the admission that, for the present at least, ministers were not doing Ireland " any actual or intended harm ;" and the only thing having the shadow of importance, the confession, that, till he can have a roll of five millions of repealers, and a farthing a week from each of them, he may just as well throw his bon net at the moon as attempt to disturb the legislative union. Five millions of farthings'. Why the receipts of last week show there are not three men in Ireland that care one far thing about it. AMERICANISMS.

THE BISHOPRIC OF JERUSALEM.—The Frankfort Peat Gazette of the 19th instant states, under date Berlin, 13th, that the Prussian clergy were much displeased with the cir cular of the Archbishop of Canterbury, respecting the new Bishop of Jerusalem, in which it is said that the esta blishment of that episcopal see ,would greatly tend to unite the Church of Germany with that of England, and induce the former to convert itself. " Our clergy," observes that journal, " is opposed to such a conversion, and intends, con sequently, to address to the king a protest against that cir cular.

The Earl of ABEP,DEEN laid upon the table the quintuple treaty for the suppression of the slave trade, and expressed his great regret that th e French ratification had not been ex- nor could be state any precise thee at which it expected. Ile felt that his first duty was, neither anything which could throw the slightest ob -4 a which was tl:e wa ratification of the treat hesion of France. It w the other four powers, and he had to observe that t___ of 1831 and 1833, to which France was a party, wa_ full force. By that of 1831, the mutual right of search was guaranteed ; and by that of 1833, the equipment of slavers was considered as prima" facie evidence of their Occupation, and afforded sufficient ground of capture. The only differ ence between these treaties and the present was, that the lat ter gave a more extensive latitude in which to exercise the right cf search. It' was impossible to conceive that the causes could long prevail which had prevented the King of the French from ratifying the treaty ; and he, therefore, hoped that ere long the whole five powers would be united in great ob; :t which they had in view Lord BROUGHAM said lie had heard with the deepest re gret the announcement of the noble earl of, he hoped, the temporary postponement of this important treaty. If there prevailed a suspicion in any quarter that the government, the parliament, or the people of England, bad any sinister ob ject in view connected with the right of search—if there existed a suspicion that they were actuated by any other mo tive than a desire to put an end to the abominable traffic in African slaves—he could only say that it was one of the most mistaken delusions that ever fastened itself ou the human mind. Lord COTTENHAM laid upon the table his bills for local jurisdictions, and other legal reforms, after which their lord ships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—MONDAY. Sir G. COCKBURN, in reply to a question from Captain Berkeley, said that Mr. Elton had been released from con- tinement, not from any dissatisfaction with the court-martial, but entirely as an ac t of clemency on the part of the crown, it being thought that the discipline of the service had been sufficiently vindicated. Sir R. PEEL laid upon the table the quintuple treaty, stat ing that the ratification by France had not been received, but he hoped ere long the causes would be obviated which had operated to delay the exchange of that ratification. Lord PALMERSYON coincided in the hope expressed by the right hon. baronet, and said that the plenipotentiary of the King of the French had not exceeded the powers confided to him in signing the treaty. The adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. HARDY, who condemned die system of agitation which had been pursued throughout the country against the corn laws, and contended that the protection to agriculture was for the benefit not merely of the landed interest but of the whole community. He, as a manufacturer, approved of the measure of the Go vernment and advocated the sliding scale as calculated to prevent enormous I.luctuations in price. Colonel Fox was in favour of the gradual abolition of the whole of the duties on foreign corn, and objected to one word only in the motion of Mr. Villiers, the word "now." He could not vote for the immediate total abolition, owing to the consequences which might follow so sudden an alteration; and, therefore, would not vote at all upon the question. Mr. H. LINDSAY suggested the propriety of fixing the duty on corn according to the price on the day it was shipped, and not according to the price on the day it might arrive, which plan would materially lessen the risk which the fluc tuation of price entailed upon the merchant, without injuring the revenue. Mr. SMYTHE defended the policy of the measure proposed by Sir R. Peel, and said he was glad to see the principle of undue protection crumbling into dust. The question of the corn laws had been properly dealt with by only only four British Ministers—Lord North, in 1773; Mr. Canning, in his unsuccessful measure. of 1827; the noble lord (Lord J. Russel,) in his measure of last year; and by the right hon. baronet, in the measure before the house, which he thought superior to any of them. He urged the right hon. baronet to proceed in the course in which he had embarked, and to earn for his reward the prayers and blessings of a relieved and grateful population. Mr. MACAULAY said he feared, in the course he meant to pursue, he would differ from a large portion of his consti tuents; but he could not consistently support the motion of the hon. member for Wolverhampton, because of the intro duction of the word "now." He could not acquiesce in the principle laid down by the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel,) that the cheapness of food was not necessarily an advantage to a people. The principle might be true if wages fell with the price of food ; but those two things were independent of each other, as was proved by the fact that on the banks of the Ohio the price of food was twice as cheap as in England, while wages were twice as high. The right hon. gentleman then contended against the motion that our political depend ence would be endangered by a dependence on foreign nations for our supply of grain, as was evinced by the fact that we imported 1,600,000 quarters of foreign corn in 1810, the greatest quantity ever imported in one year, and one-half of that quantity was from France, with which country we were at war; the continental system being then in its fullest force, and we believe that not one single quarter of it was supplied. from America. It was of great importance that this ques tion should be settled • but from the arguments on the other side, it seemed as if this was but a first step in the way of abolition. The right hon. baronet at the head of the Home Department disclaimed anything like finality in legislation, and other hon. gentlemen on his side of the house spoke of it as a considerable first step in the way of concession, though, in his opinion, it scarcely gave one farthing in the pound. With respect to a fixed duty, he looked upon it as a compromise, and was willing to take it on the principle that he would refuse nothing in the shape of improvement but in principle he was opposed to any duties levied upon corn, for the purpose of proteetionalene, . . Mr. S. WORTLEY denied that Sir R. Peel had ever laid down the principle that cheapness of food was not at all times a blessing to the people, though he had said that the cheapness of food was not always a proof of the prosperity of a people. He then proceeded at some length to advocate the proposed measure of the government. Mr. MITCHELL did not prefer the proposed scale of duties to a fixed duty, but viewing it as a great improvement, and seeing no chance of a better, he was willing to give it a trial. Mr. C. BULLER opposed the motion of the hon. member for Wolverhampton, on the ground that vested interests had grown up under our protective tariffs which they had no right to rashly sacrifice, however true abstractedly might be the principle upon which it was proposed to do so ; and sa crifice those interests they certainly would if they suddenly abrogated all those protective duties. The hon. member then advocated the principle of a fixed duty in preference to the sliding scale proposed by the government. He admitted, however, that the latter measure would do a great deal of good, but it would not give a steady supply of corn, which was the great desideratum to _be held in view, in order to give an impulse to the manufactures of the country. - Mr. HOPE attributed the distress of the country to over production, and unless hon. gentlemen on the other side could show that over-production did not exist, all their argu ments against the corn-laws fell to the ground. Mr. Rtca must oppose the motion of the hon. member for Wolverhampton, though he was anxious to extend the principles of a free trade in corn as fur as they could be ex tended with safety. He was in favour of a fixed duty, and regretted the motion of last session was not agreed to. Mr. AIILNES felt for the situation of Mr. Villiers, melan choly as it must be when he saw friend after friend dropping from his side ; the boldest openly opposing him ; the timid refusing to vote at all ; and thought he must by this time be convinced of the impolicy of interrupting the discussion be fore the house by the intrusion of an abstract question upon which he could find but few to support him. The hon. member contended for the right of the landholder to protec tion, and said he would oppose the motion of the hon. mem ber for Wolverhampton. It was by the protection that the landholders received that they were enabled to pay the fund holder twenty shillings for the thirteen or fifteen he had ad vanced ; and it' the landowner were not able to sustain that duty he must fall, and in that fall would be sure to drag down the fundholder with him. He could hate wished, however, that the scale proposed by Sir R. Peel had been more liberal, for he did not feel quite sure that his scale would produce the effect he aimed at, of keeping ihe price of corn as nearly as possible between 5.15.• and.sBs. Mr. WAXLEY said there• was scarcely a child that could walk, or a map who earn wo shillings a day, that did not understand th% quest . It was only in that house that it admitted of mystification. He wished to know what they meant in that house by protection to agriculture. Did,they mean protection to themselves in the possession of their houses, their parks, their herds of deer, and their hounds ; or did they mean protection to the labourer of his 7s. a week ? They were carrying their system of protection to such an ex tent as to render insecure all the institutions of the country. The whig minister of last year proposed to raise the revenue by reducing taxation, whereas the right hon. baronet pro posed to retain the duty on corn. What did the people gain by that? He freely admitted that the right hon. baronet's proposition was better than the existing I , w, but it was not calculated to lower materially the price of corn, and would not therefore give any real relief. The corn law was the master infamy of the world—the landlord's curse upon the poor man's industry. There was, however, in his opinion, no hope of relief for the people unless by a reform of the Re form Act, so that the working classes might be represented in that house. Mr. MuNTz said he should vote for the motion of Mr. Villiers, although he did not think the abolition of the corn laws would produce all the benefits to the country which many people imagined. He could not, however, justify the proposed measure, and that was his only ground for sup porting the motion for total abolition. The hon. member then contended that the corn and currency questions were so connected that they could not be advantageously discussed separately, and quoted a similar opinion expressed in a pamphlet written by Sir James Graham. Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved the adjournment of the debate, which was immediately agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD began the adjourned debate by a speech for the repeal of all the duty on corn. He was resolved to take every constitutional means of agitating the question out of the house as well as in it. _ _ Mr. WYKEn AM MAnTIN showed by detailed calculations, that the landholder pays a very much larger contribution than, the fundhclder to various levies, particularly to the poor's rate and to the highway-rate. Mr. VILLIERS (Sudbury) was understood to deny that the landholders bear more than their share of public burdens. Sir C. BURRELL insisted on the superior importance of the home trade as compared with the foreign. He had his doubts on the sufficiency of Sir R. Peel's protection, which, how ever, under the circumstances connected with it, he meant to support. Mr. PowELL urged the necessity of doing something for a population which would be otherwise ungovernable. Lord GRANBY expressed his deep sympathy with the ex isting distress, and his apprehension that by a repeal of duty that distress would be increased ; for such a measure would narrow the home-market, while the increased cheapness of bread would propably be neutralised by a proportionate re duction of wages. Sir R. Peel, so long as he should continue to keep Britain dependent on her own efforts, would have no thing to dread from foreigners. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL was much disappointed that the government measure did so little, especially after so much time had been taken for deliberation. He had heard nothing to satisfy him that a fixed duty was not better than a sliding scale ; and he did not believe that speculation would be materially checked by the new plan. The observation of Sir IL Peel, that a fixed duty, if once removed in time of scarcity, could never be re-imposed, was a stronger argument against the corn-laws than any advanced by the leaguers, lay or cle rical ; for it was an admission of the injustice of thole laws. Though he should have preferred a fixed duty to a total re peal, he pref erre d a total repeal to the government plan, and would that r.\'il fi li o er u s r ' i s sh m b o e t s ion t support agriculture would N l withoutartificial \N'asua pers s d u e p d . port. Sir P. BunnErr comp l a i ned that Mr. VILLIEits, though his manner was smooth and gentlemanlike, hn h h ad e i b n e v e id n ie nc u lo s s ly t acrimonious in his doctrin es , espec i al l y pointed out that the landed proprietorsw w e t za small body of greatlyc un t r ym x n _. a g e e only about 3 0 ,000. oppressing 400,000 of The evils of the existing Corn Laws had been ir ? geratcd; hut Sir R. Peel's proposal had theadvantage of removing what was most unpopular in their composition without destroying what was really useful in their practicl ' opera ti o n. Cheap corn would not improve the condition of the labourer: his state was never better than during the high prices of the war, when corn was sometimes at 120 s. or even 130 s. a quarter. Even now our agricultural population would be well off were it not for the influx of poor from Ireland. LAO WO tliVo I that thi3 th duty on cant be continued the more would the difficulties of the be increased. We ought to beware of such a policy. . _ B urp By endeavog to avert taxation we bad gained our empire in the East,llidies, while the western continent bad been lost to us by a contrary attempt. He addressed some exhorta tions and some Latin quotations to Sir Robert Peel, whom he invited to a liberal policy. _ _ Mr. STANTON defended the manufacturers, but desired to do justice to the landlords. Mr. P. STEWART declared thst i❑ the county which he epr vented the speech and plan of Sir R. Peel had been ►ece.ved with surprise and consternation. He enlarged upon the existing distress. He contended that personal property bore as full a proportion of the public burdens as real estate; for if the landed interest alone paid land-tax, they were exempt on the other hand from legacy duty. Sir R. Peel, in 1828, had said, that Britain did not grow corn enough for her population, though he now tried to maintain that she was able to raise her own supplies; and Sir J. Grnham's pamphlet on corn and currency contained a passage recom mending a fixed duty, which recommendation might be set against the present opinions of that right hon. baronet. The history of all the successive corn laws had proved that the principle of them was a fraud on the landed interests, and an injury to the commercial ones; and he would support it no longer in any shape. Mr. WonEtiousE, referring to the year 1810, when, as observed by Mr. Macaulay, a great quantity of corn was im ported from the continent of Europe, explained that this was owing to a special relaxation made in that year by Bonaparte, to favour a speculation of some of his Marshals. He con tended that the landlords bore more than their proportion of the public burdens. He admitted that wages did not follow every rise and fall in the price of corn ; but a permanently high price of corn was productive of a permanently high rate of wages. He approved of the relaxations intended as to wheat and oats, for these were the food of man ; but he did not concur in the proposal to diminish the protection upon barley. Dr. BOWRING stated, that the governments engaged in the Prussian League had expressed themselves willing to grant some modifications in their tariff if this country would yield something as to the importation of their minor produce; further modifications, if England would make a concession as to the importation of their timber; and still further alter ations, if parliament would admit their corn. The principle now enforced by this motion had gained ground ; it was supported by yearly increasing numbers in parliament. The sliding scale of Sir R. Peel imposed higher duties at given prices than the sliding scales of other states. If corn was to be taxed at all, home-grown corn ought to be taxed as well as corn from abroad. The progress of our legislation, he feared, would depress the agriculturists, and stimulate the manufacturers of other countries. He enlarged on the present distress, specifying several employments in which wages are miserably low. This distress was leading to a demand for great political changes. The feeling was, that in the House of Commons there were too few who represented the many. Mr. BENETT assured the house that thers was a great re action in the opinions of the labouring classes on this subject. They bad become aware that the rates of wages bore a pro portion to the prices of wheat. The real object of the anti corn-law party was to reduce wages, that they might compete with the continental manufacturers, but they had not now, as formerly, the manliness to avow their motive. Mr. GIBSON rejoiced in the admission now made on all sides, that no legislation can be justified for the sake of a particular class. Yet it was for the sake of a particular class that these laws were maintained ; though that class were re markably sensitive in denying it. They talked about inde pendence of foreign supplies ; but he bad heard of no country in any age which failed to get supplies of food when it had the means of purchasing them. As to the charge of over production, he denied that more goods had been manufac tured than the manufacturers had a right to expect that they would sell. The competition of foreign manufacturers na turally reduced employment and wages in England; and it was too hard that the artisan, with wages so reduced, should not be allowed to get his food at the cheapest rate. It was said that exports had increased ; but the question was, had the increase been so great as it would have been without these laws ? The farmers had no interest in them ; they were im posed only for the maintenance of rents. Ile admitted that anti-corn-law agitation was an evil, but it was an evil caused by those who maintained these laws, and he thought the anti corn-law league were performing a sacred duty. He would advise farmers to take care how they entered into leases based upon any such foundation as the proposal of the Right Hon. Baronet ; for a system could not be permanent which de pended upon wrong. Mr. ESCOTT protested against the mad disturbance of a system under which so much property had been invested, and in which so many interests were involved. Was the house prepared, before the ink of the last agreement for tithe com mutation was dry, to rescind the very ground of the contract? And what were the people to gain, even in cheapness, by the projects of the gentlemen opposite? Why, within three weeks from the time when the late ministers were proposing a fixed duty of Bs., corn was coming into this country at a duty of Is. Was wheat to be the only article untaxed, when every other product of this country was protected? In France bread was 30 per cent. cheaper than in England ; but then wages were 70 per cent. lower. The manufacturers owed to the agriculturists what the agriculturists could never owe to the manufacturers—existence itself. He illustrated from Roman history the danger of relying on foreign supply. For his own part, he would stand by the landed, which he considered to be the English, interest. Mr. EWART then moved an adjournment of the debate. — Adjourned. 4701 i OKM ii MIT 14 ti NI 'lit, Alert packet,with the West India mail, fining s advices from Jamaica to the 19th ult.; Demerara to the 9th, and Antigua to the 14th. The Jamaica papers confirm the cap ture and destruction of the fleet of Carmona, the rebel chief who had set up his forces against Carthagena. The gallant conduct of Lieutenant de Conroy, of her Majesty's brig-of war Charybdis, who, in repulsing an assault upon an English merchant-frigate, rendered valuable assistance to the Cartha ena cause - l ed to in the most • is alit gratifying terms, while, .s a reward for his courage and bravery, the governor had :eded, as his prize, the enemy's brig Maroc:llMo. Cannella was so incensed at the destruction of his tleet, mainly brought about by the admirable tact of Lieutenant de Coutcy, that he had, alisurdly enough, declared war against England. The siege of Carthagena, however, continued from the sub urb of Simani ; but as the defence was spiritedly kept up, and the enemy had but a small supply of ammunition, it was not expected to last for a long while. The accounts from Venezuela state that matters were quiet and prosperous there. full tit Demerara at the latest date was in an unsettled state, owing to the endeavour of the planters to force the labourers into submission as regards certain rules and regulations which they had issued for the better working of the estates, and which they desired should take effect from the first day of the new year. These rules and regulations, the result of several meetings of the planters, were framed to reduce the price of labour in proportion to the market price of produce, but without the ordinary course of having first consulted the labourers, or their " headsmen," as the chief among them are technically termed, and this is the great point in which the planters appear to have erred. The labourers seem to have been but little aware that any new rules or regulations would be attempted to be introduced for the present in the estates, although they well knew that complaints were made by the managers of the small profits resulting from the work ing of the plantations at the current price of labour, and they, therefore, were greatly surprised to find, as if by a si multaneous movement, the various localities placarded with these new regulations, which in several cases imposed severe restrictions, besides the lowering of wages. Among these were the refusal of employers to allow labourers to keep stock of any description, the reversion of pro visions they cultivated on estates to the original pro prietors, when they left or were discharged, and an in crease in the period of the day's labour, with a notice attached to the effect, that forty-eight hours' servitude after this publiCation would' be' taken as the act of consent by the labourer to be bound by them. Hence followed a general " strike," and from the Ist of January up to the Bth, most of the plantations were abandoned by the labour ers, who having had interviews with the Governor on the attempted enforcement of these rules, refused to return to their occupation without concessions were made. The Por tuguese emigrants alone remained passive and obedient to the will of the planter. In consequence of this new feature in the state of affairs, the local press were arduously advo cating the cause of their respective patrons, and while the planters' organ, the Guiana Times,%is sedulously recom mending the maintenance of firinness and perseverance in the enforcement of the new rules and regulations, the Gui ana Chronicle urges the necessity of conciliation and tem perance by the planters towards the labourers, who are said to be much disposed to meet their employers in a fair and equitable reduction, in order to bring matters to a satisfac tory conclusion. This resistance by the labourers at the present period appears to be usifortunate, as the crop was in a forward and promising condition. At Trinidad there had also been a reduction in wages, accompanied by the abolition of allowances, but the manner in which it had been effected was by the introduction of the alteration to the immediate notice of the labouring popula tion, who were made acquainted with the fact of the neces sity of such a proceeding, and who, having readily agreed to it, were working with a promptitude scarcely to be expected from their altered circumstances. The canes for the ensuing crop were looking exceedingly well, but the past month had been unusally dry, which was not considered to be conducive to the health and vigour of the young plants. The Legislature was sitting, but the business was merely of local interest. At Barbadoes and at Antigua there also had been:experi enced a want of rain, but on the whole the prospects of the crops were promising. A meeting of the Barbadian mer chants had taken place for the twofold object of petitioning the Legislature to reduce the expenditure of the island by the partial disbandment of the militia and the police, and to effect thereby the imposition of a smaller duty on all articles imported. From the whole of the islands complaints are made of the dull state of trade, but the sympathizing effect of the same state of things existing throughout the continent of Europe does much to allay the fears the colonists would otherwise entertain. The Royal mail line of packets pro mised great advantages to these several localities in the transmission of merchandise and correspondence. DISSENTING VIRULENCE AGAINSTTriE CHURCH, THE MAGISTRACY, AND THE GENTRY. (From the Nonconformist of Feb. 9,a Dissenting Newspaper) One is at a loss to understand what is the moral of a national church. Itneither distinguishes nor unites. It adds no power to example—it reflects no truth. It is not an association oflike with like—but a mere conglomeration of anything and every thing—homogeneous and heterogeneous. It sets off neither doctrine nor character—for although its articles are written in a book, it is not at all necessary that they should be be lieved by its members—and although rules for discipline may be discovered in its canons, they are in all respects, saving a pecuniary one, as practically obsolete as the curfew-bell of the Normans. The church is the nation, and the nation is the church. According to the theory of this precious scheme, membership depends upon the accidental locality of birth. It is not particular as to character. Newgate is full of its members—so is the House of Lords. It receives the refuse of all other sects. All is fish that comes to its net. Avowed infidels have communed with it. Gamesters, due lers, adulterers, scoffers, the foes of God and the pests of man, all fraternise in this wonderfully comprehensive eccle siastical society. And there they arc mingled together pen men, for what conceivable purpose it would puzzle the most sagacious to divine. The charm song of the establish ment is full of charity— " Black spirits and white, red spirits and gray, Mingle, mingle, mingle, you that mingle may." The point blank unscriptural or rather anti-scriptural cha racter of this national church, is no less marked a character istic of it, than is its pitiful vacancy of all significance. As nothing more stupidly unmeaning can be conceived, so nothing more flatly contradictory of Christianity can be de- After having looked into this ecclesiastical cauldron, nto which are thrown indiscriminately " Eye of newt. and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing," one is amazed at the blindness of Men, who could ever have mistaken this thing for a Christian church. One is not so surprised at the prevalence of the mistake amongst those who never had a Bible in their hands ; but for those who have, the delusion is unpardonable. What ! is this mere aggregation of men, without assortment—this fraternisation of all characters, good, bad, and indifferent—this blending into one mass, without assimilation, of every variety of moral material—is this what was meant by the apostle, when he said, `'Ye are a chosen g eneratio n , a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people"—this,:that church of which Paul said that it was " the pillar and ground of the truth ?" We will not go further into the subject. We feel reason out raged and understanding insulted by the preposterous pre tence. Satanic craft could not invent a fouler or more ma lignant libel on Christianity. W hy , the very world has had virtue enough to spit upon it with loathing ' • and to give no equivocal intimations to th e p riesth ood of this lie in the name of truth, that if this be indeed what it purports to be, then revelation is but a fable — t he clumsy fiction of monks and priests. One word more and we have done. So long as those who know better, in assumed or mistaken charity, choose to recognise this mere worldly association as a church, and, more fearful of being thought violent than of actually conniving at a pestilential falsehood, refrain from denouncing it as an anti-christian imposture, so long must they expect its continuance and even its growth. From ali ranks, dissenters are hurrying to join this body, under the persuasion that it is one branch of Christ's church ; and that if there be some things in it capable of improvement, it only resembles in this respect the churches with which they have not been more familiar. When will our youth be taught, and our congre gations told, that a national church is no church at all—that it has none of the characteristics of a church—none of the powers of a church—none of the ends for which a church is constituted? It distinguishes not between the disciples and the opponents of Christianity. It is the " pillar and ground" of nothing but a vast hierarchical edifice. It is not associa ted goodness, nor meekness, knowledge, faith, nor love. It is a compulsory association of men in one company, with a view to their being taxed by one-order of clergy—and the sooner its real character is made known, the better. Your parsons, and squires, and magistrates, treble-dyed with gentlemanly vices, haughty in proportion to their own contemptible meanness, tyrants without courage, physical force men with white livers—these, the instigants of church and king mobs not many years since, the toad-eating sycho pants of the nobility, the "things that creep about great men's heads," these are the true " lower orders"—be they tory or whig, radical, or chartist. Let them bear this name henceforth and for ever. It belongs of right to them, and richly they deserve to enjoy it. DISAGRUEABLES OF ROYALTY.—When Queen Anne asked her witty Minister what it would cost to enclose the three Parks, he replied, " Only three crowns, Madam," the crowns, to wit, of the three kingdoms, so tenacoius are the English of their " rights." Of none are they more tenacious than of the right of way ; yet they will not give what they take for themselves. queen Victoria has not asked to enclose the Parks, but only to walk with others on Brighton Pier; and her loyal subjects will hardly allow her; they drive her away with vulgar obtrusiveness. It has been a complaint against our monarchs of late years, that they secluded themselves from their beloved people ; but who is to wonder that the beloved people treat them as they would the objects of a penny show, and with staring impudence convert them into a gratuitous exhibition ? The more social and considerate races of the continent reproach us with not being able to restrain our insolent curiosity or to consult the feelings of others ; and the Brighton ladies, who hustle round the Queen, confirm the reproach. The servility in volved in the rudeness ' the coarse idolatry of greatness which makes the starers forget in the Queen the woman and the lady, does not render it less disgusting. Queen Victoria has been offered the exclusive use of the Pier for an hour each day ; but it does credit to her sense and good feeling that she refuses to let her misbehaving subjects be shut out on her account. Perhaps that practical rebuke may shame them into decency.—Spectator. FRENCH OPINIONS UPON Boz.—The following critique is from the pea of the noted French critic, M. Jules Janin : " Amongst the morbid melodramatic tales of the day, which are greedily devoured, but undigested, by the unwashed of all countries, there is a large book by one Charles Dickens, who has written himself into a reputation. Nicholas Nic kleby' has been translated here in Paris, by a man of sense and ability, who we regret to see throwing away his time, trouble, and talents into such a common sewer of vice, filth, and iniquity. Imagine a shapeless mass of puerile inven tions, in which the horrible, the idiotic, and the fanatic are wallowing in the mud of an infernal slough of despond. There you see a set of smirking good folks, who have become stupid from excess of goodness, and bore you with their trivial inanities. Next come bounding on, blaspheming in their course, a grisly, fearful band of rogues, robbers, and wretches, whose very existence make you shudder. It is the most nauseous mixture that you could possibly imagine of warm milk and sour beer, of fresh eggs and putrid meat, of tattered filthy rags and brocade robes, of sovereigns and halfpence, of roses and dandelions—street-walkers and peers of the realm, porters and poets, ruffians and scholars, walk about arm-in-arm, in the midst of this insupportable cla mour. Do you like the smell of stale tobacco-smoke, of garlic, the taste of onions—do you like steel forks and pew ter-pots? If your taste leads you to these things, I would conscientiously counsel you to sit down and read Charles Dickens. What a chaos of running sores, loathsome ulcers, and chaste, sacred virtues! This Charles Dickens has ex tracted all the plague spots from Don Guzman d'Alfarache, all the dreams of Sir Charles Grandison, and thickened them up into this unsightly block of descriptions. 0, ye chaste maidens, more or less bashful, who have pored over Walter Scott's beautiful romances !—O, ye more animated admirers of ' Don Juan' and Lara r —and 0, ye cnaste enthusiasts for Clarissa Harlowe !'—hide your blushing cheeks, throw down your veils before Charles Dickens."

In the centre of the most fashionable and expensive part of the town, these so cieties of communists purchase or erect a splendid palace, and establish themselves en masse ; here they lounge in the drawing room s,thitten theirnoses against the windows, write their letters on club paper, seal them with club wax, impressed with the club seal ; dine, if they have the wherewithal, on the one and-ninepenny joint of the day, sip a point of port in soli tary dignity, then lighting their cigar, wend their way home, to a three-pair back in some part of the town never named to ears polite, where they can be accommodated for seven shillings a week, attendance inclusive. If you ask where they live ?—at the Club ; how they live ?—by the carte of the Club: what are their opinions ?—the opinions of the Club ; who are the best fellows in the world ?—Tom, Dick, and Roger, of the Club ; where is the best wine in London to be had ?—at the Club ; who have the whitest cravats and the reddest plush breeches in town ?—waiters at the Club ; where is the best letter paper to he had for the pocketing ?—at the Club ; the best society ?—at the Club ; what is the best mode of obtaining terrestrial felicity ?—become a member of the Club ! All this, however, is to be taken cum grano ; the Club is a very good place, no better for members of the wine committee, the dinner committee, the library com mittee, and the other committee : these people, who are usually old soldiers, in the economical sense of the term, make their own of the Club : the waiters understand them, the tradesmen understand them, the secretary un derstands them : they do whatever they please, and no ordinary member can do any thing, eat any thing, or drink any thin g but how and as they please. To the committee the Club is a home, to all others it is only a place where they are tolerated : the committee are masters, the members are guests ; the committee are the decemvirs, the rest the populace ; t.nd although there are in every club one or two brawling tribunes of the people, we never could find out that they made anything by their grumbling agitation. There can be no greater mis take than to suppose that, by being balloted for and ad mitted, you get into the society there may be in the sparkling lights, the cheering tire, and the waiters in , red plush breeches and white cravats, your subscription gives you the undoubted privilege to enjoy • if you are friend less out of.doors, you are equally iriendless in a club, where, in truth, you are regarded exactly in the ratio of the number of your friends ; there is no worse place for making up to or scraping acquaintance with your fellow clubmen ; there is a pride of repulsion among gentlemen in these soci eties, as if they should tell you by their looks, " If you have no friends, my good fellow, I have; if you want acquaint ance, I don't; if you come here to fasten yourself on me, your membership is no letter of recommendation."—Black wood's Magazine: The World of London. )I)ipptlig intelltanifr.

WAsoN, respecting the Ipswich election, the hon. member being of opinion that as Sir Thomas Cochrane was about to leave the kingdom, and as he was supposed to be able to give important evidence upon the Ipswich election petition, he should be examined at the bar of the house. This was opposed by the Attorney-General as unprecedented. The Cotrt of Queen's Bench had no such power with a witness under superna. If that witness chose to quit the kingdom he did so at his peril. The motion was ultimately withdrawn. In answer to a question from Mr. MACKINNON, . . Sir R. PEEL said it was his intention to proceed with no public business till the corn-law resolutions were disposed of. There was the strongest feeling at present among those inte rested in the corn trade against any delay in the settlement of the question. But he was not responsible for it. He could not interfere with the course which other hon. gentle men' thought fit to pursue ; but he thought it of so much im portance to bring in his bill on the sunject that he would interpose no impediment by bringing forward any public business before these resolutions were decided on. Colonel RAWSON asked when the bill relative to marriages in Ireland would be brought in, as the Presbyterians would be alarmed on hearing that no public business would be pro ceeded with till these questions were settled? Sir It. PEEL said that, as so many persons were in danger of being declared illegitimate, every facility should he af forded to carrying that bill through with as little delay as possible. _ The adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. EWART, who regretted that Sir R. Peel had not dealt as boldly with the corn-law question as he had done with the catholic emancipa tion. He supported the motion of Mr. Villiers, as did also Mr. H. P. Berkeley, who was of opinion that trade in corn should be left quite unshackled. Mr. Thor:NE:ix was of opinion that any duty on corn should be for the purpose of revenue only, and not of protec tion. _ _ Mr. HAsTIE also supported the motion. Mr. O'CoNNELL, In supporting the motion, said the house would not entrust legislation upon this subject to radicals and chartists ; and, upon the same principle, when he saw landed proprietors thus legislating, he could not help thinking that the poor were upon their trial.before a partial judge and a packed jury. Colonel CONOLLY, in opposing the motion, said they had heard much of the benefit which would be conferred upon the vast regions of America if the corn-laws were repealed; but he thought they should not exhaust all their sympathy on America, they should keep a small portion for our own agricultural population. Had there been anything like the indignation against the proposed measure which some hon. gentlemen appeared to think there was, it would ere this have exhibited itself in a way not to be mistaken. He be lieved, _however, that the country was satisfied with the measure. Mr. HAWES, in supporting the motion, said that all the old monopolists, and all the foreign merchants, would be glad to have the present system maintained, as it enabled them to indulge in most profitable speculations. He was of opinion that under the proposed measure corn would never be lower than 60s, and that its general range would be about 61s. Mr. MARK PHILIPS said he had always regarded the trade in corn as such a gambling speculation under the existing law, that while he was in trade he never shipped a cargo of goods upon the prospect of getting a cargo of corn in return. He contended that the people, by the petitions which they had presented, had proved themselves anxious for a total re peal of the corn laws. His own idea was, that it would be well to have a duty on corn, annually diminishing in amount until it vanished altogether. Sir R. PEEL said that all that had fallen from Mr. Philips had proved the correctness of what he had originally stated to the house, that there were various causes, independent of the corn laws' operation, to produce the distress which prevailed through the country. The hon. member had said that there had been a great decrease in the exports to the United States since 1833, and yet, although the corn laws were in opera tion, there had been no decrease in the exports from the cot ton manufactories in the north. How did the hon. member account for that consistently with the supposition that the corn laws were the cause of the distress ? It appeared, from Mr. Ilorner's report, that there had been ninety-three new mills erected in his district. Now, he could understand the manufacturers going on working the old mills at a loss in the hope of a change ; but if the business was so very slack, it was difficult to account for the erection of so many new mills. From all this, he would ask if it was not evi dent that the effect of the corn laws in producing the dis tress had been greatly exaggerated ? And indeed it also appeared that no great relief was to be expected from any change whatever which the house might make in those laws. `While he admitted and deplored the distress which prevailed, and even though the people might burn his effigy, still could he not abate one particle of the sympathy he felt for the poor of the country, or of his earnest wish that they might be • relieved. (Cheers.) The right hon. baronet then proceeded to contend that concurrently with great demand for employ ment in the manufacturing districts it frequently happened that partial distress was very prevalent in other parts of the country. With respect to the argument that foreign corn should be taxed for purposes of revenue only, he doubted if it was legitimate to tax it for the purposes of revenue at all, or if it were he could not conceive an argument by which they could resist a similar tax on home-grown corn. If he could only impress the house with the communications which he had received from various parts of the country, with re spect to his proposition, they would see it was as far as he could go without producing alarm, calculated to lead to dis astrous consequences. Mr. JOHNSTONE moved, and Sir J. EASTHOPE seconded another adjournment of the debate. Lord J. RUSSELL objected to Sir R. Peel's demand for speedy legislation. The question was one for Parliament to deliberate upon ; they, and not the ministers were to decide the question. Was the house to pass in a hurry a measure which ministers had taken so many months to consider? The manufacturers were bound to ponder it well; and the agriculturists, who had given way, would expect that it should be so well digested as to be permanent when once passed. He added a few words in vindication of Mr. Macaulay's withdrawal from this division. It was only what the conservative peers had thought it their duty to do upon the reform bill: After a few words from Sir R. PEEL, Sir C. NAPIER. questioned the practicability of bringing hither a cargo of American wheat within six weeks. The cry for a division then became loud and general, but the opposition held out for a still further prolongation of the debate, and it was accordingly adjourned.

Malting Barley supported its price, though the sale is not brisk. Oats and Beans have been dispused of on rather lower terms. SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, FEB. 23. We had a short supply of both Beasts and Sheep at our market to-day, particularly Sheep, the supply was very limited. Beef of good quality was worse to buy, but for Mutton there was a brisker demand, which produced from a id to a Id per lb. higher than last week. All was sold up in good time. Best Beef 6id to 7d, middling 6d to 61(1; best Mutton 7d to ad, middling 7d to lid per lb. MANCHESTER AND SALFORD HIDE, SKIN, AND TALLOW MARKET, FEB. 23 The price of heavy Hides' has declined, and above SOlbs 3id per lb, under 601bs 12s each. Large skins (Irish and Yorkshire) 55 to 65 6d; Cheviots and half-bred 4s to ss; Scotch as 6d to 3s 6d Tallow, as per stone of 141bs. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 21 We had a very indifferent supply of English Wheat this morning, and the millers being needy buyers, we were enabled to establish an advance of is per qr from this day se'nnight ; this improvement had no effect on the free foreign, and the sale was very heavy at last Monday's prices, and there was no demand for bonded. Barley, Peas of all s-rts, and new Beans are Is lower, and Oats are a dull sale at a similar reduction. WEDNESDAY, Feb There Is very little English Wheat on sale to-day, and prices are nominally the same as on Monday. The demand for foreign was limited, and it is held on the same terms. In Spring Corn there is no alteration. • SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, FEll. 21. The improvement in the weather for slaughtering, and the cir cumstance that on Friday last the butchers were exceedingly backward iq purbhasing any description of meat, together with the fact of the supplies of to-day being moderate. the trade to-day was better for everything, and although not brisk clearances in all cases were effected, Beef of all qaalities recovered the decline noticed on Friday last. Prime South Downs fetched is per stone, which was an improvement of 2d on that day's price. Inferior coarse quality however declined 2d. Inferior Veal was a shade lower, but prime sorts, and Pork of all kinds, were Arm at former rates, (Per stone of Sib, sinking the offal.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FEB. 22 There has been scarcely demand sufficient to constitute a market, so that we have no change to notice. About 1000 bales sold at yesterday's prices, all to the trade. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 24 Yesterday the demand for Cotton was so trifling , as scarcely to constitute a market, and only 2500 bales were sold. To...day the business has' been more extensive, and fully 3,500 to 4.1:00 'bales Itave been disposed of at similar prices to those current last week. 1,500 of these were for export. The market is pretty well supplied with American Cotton, ranging from 5d to 54d or id, but for all descriptions of fair and upwards, buyers have not much choice, and are compelled to give the same prices as for the last month or six weeks. This difficulty is likely to increase, owing to present range of import averaging much below par. Pretty conclusive symptom (as the Yankee would say) that the crop will not be a heavy one. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 22 Except a few parcels of Oats, and a good quantity of Oat meal, we have had but little fresh in from Ireland since Tuesday last, and nothing worth naming Coastwise ; the arrivals of Foreign Wheat, however, continue liberal, being equal to the import of the previous week, but of Flour consist of only a few hundred barrels. We had few country buyers in attendance at our market this morning, and the transactions in Wheat, being chiefly confined to a retail local demand, were altogether to a limited extent ; we reduce our quotations for all kinds fully in the proportion stated on Friday, and in some instances even a greater decline was taken. . , . . Flour 6d. per barrel cheaper, and only prime brands sale able. Barley, Malt, and Pease continued quite neglected to-day, and, as well as Beans, were nominally cheaper. The Oal trade remained exceedingly dull, and for the best new Mal 2s. 11d. per 451bs. is barely obtainable, while Oatmeal, upor a very moderate enquiry, is 6d. to 9d. per sack lower than or this day week. In the Bonded Market no business has transpired, except the purchase of 1000 quarters American red Wheat, to arrive, at 46s 6d per quarter. States Flour, on the spot, is offering at 26s 6d per barrel. LIVERPOOL HAY AND POTATOE MARKET, February 24. s. d. s. d.l -. _. _. _. s. d. s. d. Potatoes, 9 lb.
