POETRY. lUZZA FOR THE RULE OF THE WHIGS ! ." OLD ROSIN THE BEAU." (From Blackwood's Magazine.) All ye who are true to the altar and throne, Come join in this ditty with me; And you who don't like it may let it alone, Or listen a little and see. How quietly now we may sleep in our beds, And waken as merry as Brigs; Though fears of rebellion hang over our heads. We're safe while we're ruled by the Whigs. 4ln the 'nineties we saw (I remember the day) Revolution disguised as Reform ; But the country was saved in a different way, ay the Pilot that weather'd the storm. ‘Our vessel was steer'd by the bravest and best, And, except af : ew quality sprigs, The whole English nation had thought it a jest To propose being ruled by the Whigs. Batas matters now stand in this ill-fated realm, When old comrades will give us the slip, ~_...., We are strangely compell'd to put men at the helm To prevent them from scuttling the ship. Only think, for a moment, if Russell were out, How wild he'd be running his rigs ! About popular rights he would make such a rout— 'Tis lucky we're rule_ by the Whigs. The Church—can you doubt what her danger would be Were Tories at present in power? Lord Jahn, or his friends, we should certainly see Attacking her posts every hour. But as long as the Bishops may help out his leas& lie won't injure a hair of their wigs ; Nay, he even proposes the list to increase— So huzza for the rule of the Whigs! If Grey were at large, how he'd lay down the law On the cures he Ku: Ireland had found; And swear that he never would rest till he saw Her Establishment razed to the ground. But Grey, while in office, sits muffled and mum, Like a small bird asleep in the twigs; And Ward, in the Commons, is equally dumb— So huzza for the rule of the vi higs If any of us had made war on Repeal _With the weapons that Clarendon tries, At the wrongs of did Erin would rise. By millions of noisy Milesians back'd, From the peer to the peasant that digs— How would Monaghan murmur that juries So huzza for the'rule of the Whigs! On Aliens or Chartists to hear them declaim You'd think Castlereagh came from the dead Though the mixture of metaphors isn't the say And the courage and coolness are fled. But the Whigs are becoming respectable men As any that ever kept gics. SO huzia fo-r-t-hebru..l7anth'e"WY Go on, my good lads—never think of retreat, Though annoy'd by a squib or a squirt You're fulfilling the fate such impostors should meet, And eating your bushel of dirt. Then swallow it fast, for your hour may not last — We shall soon, if it pleases the pigs, Give your places to men of a different cast, . _ NOTICES Blackwood's Edinb This magazine for the present month contai More than the ordinary proportion of review: however, are of works of a first-class character. a rticle, • esneciallv. a review of " A Trantiqo nn cession to Property vacant by Death, I °° ll , Esq., is very interesting, as shewing _ that very able man u tt er ly oppose d t o the views of of our modern liberals upon the subject of the la' tail, which he maintains to be not' only esser' Present balanced state of British society, but a" 10 an ec onom i ca l v i ew.

The nineteenth century had not time to stare. There was not even a London Punch to laugh at such a Judy, and so Moses was belted and spurred, no man gainsaying ; and knighthood, that was Sidney's once, is just the thing for Sir Peter Laurie now. And if a Jewish knight, why not a Jewish senator ? True, there is something grand in the idea of a nation that never, since the Wittenagemote, has seen a lawgiver unbaptised ; and then there is still a red cross in the flag of England ; and there has been a pleasing notion that the Christian faith was part and parcel with the British constitution ; and even we in America, averse to church and state, have long allowed ourselves to ad mire one exception to the rule, and to confess fhe majestic figure made among the nations by a Christian empire, shining forth in splendid contrast to surrounding kingdoms, some of them infidel and some of them superstitious, but she alone the witness to reasonable faith, and faithful reason. But who re gards it in this light ? Who among you stands up to warn his country of the glory that is departing ? Who has said anything in parliament at all adequate to the turning-point of a nation's religion. I have looked for some one to speak as Burke would have spoken, of " uncovering your nakedness, by throwing off that Christian religion which has hitherto been your boast and comfort." I have longed to see his promise made good,—" we shall never be such fools as to call in an enemy to the substance of any system, to remove its corruptions, to supply its defects, or to perfect its construction." I read The Times, but as yet I have looked in vain. A few honest remonstrances have indeed been ventured and cries of oh, oh and vociferations of buck toothed laughter from the benches that support the honourable members from Cottonbnrgh and Calicopolis. But who has stood up as for altars and fires ? I hope, ere this reaches you, the question will be creditably answered. I hope the Christia nity of England will not die without a struggle. I suspect it will be of no use, but I look yet for some John of Gaunt in the House of Lords. Imagine him, my Basil : "This sdept - ered isle, This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England, Renowned for her deeds as far from home (For Christian service and true chivalry) As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry Of the world's ran , om, blessed Mary's son ; This land of such dear souls, this dear, dear land, Dear for her reputation through the world, now—pawn'd out to Jews!" _ _ This is what ought to be said ; and I look for it, if not from the Lords spiritual, then even from Lords temporal. But surely it would well become the primate's mouth I Of course, it would do little good ; but then the religion of England would fall at least dramatically. It would make a picture quite as good as the death of Chatham. Do you remember the lawn sleeves in that nietnrp The hishans are "in at the death_"— sing more The story of " The Cartons" progresses favourably We have only room for the following beautiful lesson on EARLY RISING. I was always an early riser. Happy the man who is ! Every morning day comes to him with a virgin's love, full of bloom, and purity, and freshness. The youth of nature is contagious, like the gladness of a happy child. I doubt if any man can be called " old" so long as he is an early riser, and an early walker. And ob, youth !—take my word for it,—youth in dressing gown and slippers dawdling over breakfast at noon, is a very decre- pid ghast►y . image of that youth which sees the sun blush over the mountains, and the dews sparkle upon blossoming hedge rows.

THE NORWICH RIOTS. —One of the constables injured by the mob at Norwich, in an attempt to rescue some re fractory paupers from their custody, has died. The sale of the magnificent effects at Stowe, the Duke of Buckingham's seat, will positively take place next month. Mrs. Newlove, the old lady, who, with her son, was so brutally injure.' by some burglars at Warthill, near York, has since died of her wounds. The British brig Brothers was wrecked on Tampico Bar on the 3d of May, and it was feared would be a total loss. Her cargo was valued at 150,000 dollars. It has been remarked, that nearly all the Duke of Buckingham's farms, which have lately been sold, have been bought by the tenants who occupied them. Mr. Macready has been engaged at the Birmingham theatre for Thursday and Friday next, the 6th and 7th instant.

The Gipsey steam-ship was lost on a voyage from Lon don to Bahia, during a severe storm. The crew escaped on board a pilot-boat belonging to the Scilly Isles, and the steamer was seen to go down in deep water soon after. DERBY SWEEPS.—In the House of Commons, on Wed nesday, Sir G. Grey said that what are called " Derby Sweeps" are illegal, and that the Excise had received instructions to put a stop to them for the future. J. R. E.

Six INCENDIARY FIRES.—On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday se'nnight, there were no fewer than six incendiary 'fires in Hertfordshire. One of 'them was at Harlow, on a farm in the occupation of Mrs Win. Barnard, belonging to the late Marquis of Bute. The value of the stock de stroyed is estimated at £3OO, and of the buildings £l7OO. Both are insured.—ln another case, that of Mr. Squires, of Waterford-mill, the loss of the tenant is calculated at £2OO. A man is in custody on suspicion. IMPROVEMENT OF BILLINGSGATE MARKET.—The cor poration of London are about to remodel this market, and erect a structure, the architectural proportions of which shall harmonize with the new Coal Exchange now erecting opposite Billingsgate. The chain of houses known as Darkhouse-lane are to be removed. The old dock, from the fish now being chiefly brought to market by railway, is to be filled up, and a commodious market-place formed on the entire site, being an area of about 15,000 square feet. A verdict of wilful murder has been returned against a man living in Sandgate, Newcastle-on-Tyne, for the murder of his infant illegitimate child. The wretch went to the residence of its mother, took the child from the cradle and dashed it on the floor;, he then took it by the legs and swung it about and then clashed it again to the ground, exclaiming, " There, it it will not need much after that." It only lived a few minutes. SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.—An inquest was held, few days since, on view of the body of the Rev. H. Brad ridge, aged 62, for some years minister of the Parish Church at Slapton, Devon. Deceased had been out of his mind during the last five years, and had been constantly watched over by a keeper. Unfortunately, on Friday week, he found an opportunity of getting out at a private door. Search was made for him, but without avail, till the next day, when he was discovered drowned in a quarry pit containing six feet of water. He had a rope round his neck, with a stone attached to the end of it. SHOCKING PROFANENESS.—On Friday an inquest was held at Hampstead-road, London, on the body of Mr. E. A. Ashford, aged twenty-five, a medical student of Uni versity College, who destroyed himself by taking prussic acid. The deceased left behind him the following letter to his mother :—" Dear Mamma,—Tell the twelve idiotic cheesemongers, grocers, &c., who will form the British jury, that the proper verdict to return is, that E. A. A. died because he could not live. By G—d, that's the truth. God bless you, my dear mother and sister.—E. A. A." Verdict, " Temporary insanity." THE SEVEREST REPRIMAND.—On Friday week, Mr. Davis, one of the clerks of her Majesty's ship Prince Re gent, 92 guns, was called upon the quarter-deck, and com pelled to read aloud, so that the whole of the officers and crew (about 900 in all) could hear distinctly, a series of letters, in which he had slandered the captain, of f icers, and the ship in very unmeasured terms ; these letters were addressed to a friend on shore, but who having quar relled with the officer, sent the letters of the latter to Captain Martin, who reprimanded the author in the above manner. SUNDAY CRICKETING.—The minister of Horton, Oxon, and Studley, Bucks, has signified his intention of provid ing bats, balls, wickets, &c., for the young men to play at cricket after service on Sundays, and also on other days. The scenes of " pitch and trustle," and other gambling tricks on Sundays, have been very annoying to many in the parish and to strangers ; and is in a great measure with the view of preventing them that the rev. gentleman has determined on introducing the healthful recreative game of cricket amongst those who have hitherto spent their time in a much worse way.—Hereford Journal.— [This is only substituting one sin - for another. On our contemporary's own showing, it is worse than "doing evil that good may come."] CATTLE FROM PORTUGAL.—TWO large and powerful steamers are now plying between Oporto and ton, for the purpose of importing Portuguese oxen average cost in Portugal is about £8 per head, and the fetch here about £2O per head, some of the finest At first they were sold in the London market, good market has now been found at Southampton Portsmouth ; in fact, the butchers of those towns have agreed with the shippers to purchase all that are brought over.

Twice she EVIDENCE BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON SUGAR AND COFFEE PLANTING OF MR. BURN, THE COMPILER o' :THE " COMMERCIAL GLANCE," AS TO THE EFFECT ON THE COTTON TRADE, OF THE DISTRESS IN OUR SUGAR GROWING COLONIES. We have had occasion to present to our readers abstracts of the vtluable labours of Mr. Burn, of Manchester ; and we have now the pleasure of laying before our readers a detail of some important evidence, on a subject upon which he, above most other men is well informed, given before the Select Committee on Sugar and Coffee Plant ing. We may mention that it is introduced in the Com mittee's Report in the most complimentary manner : "Mr. Burn gave information to the Committee, derived from the most industrious research, of the deepest interest and the greatest value. He presented to the Committee a Table, by which he showed that the total value of cotton goods exported to the British West Indies, Mauritius, Bombay, Madras, and Calcutta, in the 19 months from the 22nd of January, 1845, to the 22nd of August, 1346, was £5,988,544; that in the same period the total value of goods exported to Cuba, Porto Rico, and Brazil, amounted to .£2,490,776, making a sum total of £8,479,320. That in the 19 corresponding months after the passing the Act of 1846, from the 22nd of August to the 22nd of March, 1848, the total value of goods exported to the British Colonies was £'4,856,286, showing a decrease of £1,132,263. To counterbalance which, the exports to the slave-holding countries increased to £'2.946,151, showing an incyease of £455,381 to valance against the larger decrease to the British Colonies; showing, as the general result, a decreased trade to the sugar-growing countries, slave holding and free, of £676,887. " But Mr. Burn did not stop here, having shown to the Com mittee that the weight of Cotton consumed in the goods ex ported in the first period was 144,224,977 lbs., and that the price in the former period was 4id. per lb. ; that the value of the raw material was but £2,854,452,. which would have to be deducted from the £8,479324, leaviug £5,624,872 for wages, and profit, and working, in the period of 1845-46, while the price of Cotton having risen in the period between the 22nd August, 1846, and 22nd March, 1848, to Od. a lb., the di minished weight of Cotton, amounting only to 124.768,560 lbs., constituted a value of W 3,139,214, which, deducted from £7,802,437, the value of the manufactured goods exported in the latter period, left only £4,683,223, being a diminution of £941,649 in the sum left for wages, and profit, and working, in the period of 1846-48, as compared with 1845-46; and whilst thus he showed that instead of bringing wealth and pros perity, a diminished trade and diminished amount of wages to the extent of £941,649 had followed upon the passing of the Act of 1846, he went into a calculation, by which, having shown that there were employed in 1846, 617,252 hands, in 1847 there were but 451,727 hands employed in the manufac ture of Cotton in England, leaving unemployed in 1847, as compared with 1846, 165,827 hands. And then he went on to show that, assuming even that the Act of 1846 had a right to take credit for the cheapening of sugar to the extent of 1i a'b., which your House is aware would be equal to Wl4 a ton, and allowing that the whole 617,554 persons, employed and out of employment, had consumed 23f lbs. of Sugar per head per annum, they would only have gained by this reduction £144.702 to set off against their loss in wages, and profit, and working, of £941,649; so that upon the balance of gain and of loss, it would seem that the Cotton manufacturers of En gland, in wages, profit, and working, have lost £796,947,' simultaneously with the change of policy which was to confer such mighty benefits and such unbounded prosperity upon them. Now, taking the wages of the operatives at 9s. a week upon the average, £796,947 would be equivalent to the wages of 18,533 operatives in full employment for 95. weeks, and for 34,976 operatives for one year. Asked if in the history of Lancash►re a period had ever been known when for so very long a time so many operatives had been out of employment and working short time: he answered, he never recollected so many; that it was decidedly worse now than it was in 1840 and 1841 ; that they had decreased in quantity more Cotton in • 1847 than they coniumed altogether in 1826. - That in 1826 there were only entered for home consumption 376,733 bags of Cot ton; the decrease in 1847 was 441,053 bags of Cotton as com pared with 1846. The greatest decrease that had ever ap• peared having occurred in 1839, when the decrease in the manufacture amounted to 221,605 bags of Cotton. And with respect to the state of Manchester he said, that in 1826 the casual and Irish poor amounted to but 72,362 persons, and the cost of their maintenance to £10,475, whilst in 1847 their casual and Irish poor amounted to 149,504, and the cost of 1826 amounted to ss. i only of the rental : th ren in 1847 Corporation ha A. manufacturer of Birmingham has received an order ndson of Mehemet Ali, for chim- from Abbas neypieces,• grates, fenders, ashpans, fireirons, &c., for The Ihill Packet mentior that during a thunder a on Sunday wee )use n CCIDENI •A man at Ne riding the f rton, Nirc rem ost )osts, and d part of the covering of the bed in which the farmer lisle Cot of one of isive mea- Rev.

They did not expect any return for the £142,000 they had been foolish enough to expend upon a West Indian investment. The then price of sugar would only give them a gross return of £60,800 to be placed - against an annual expenditure of £60,300, leaving a balance over expenditure of only a'iout £5OO to go against the interest of the annual outlay, and preclud ing the recovery of a single shilling of the original invest ment. It was the memorial of these unfortunate persons that Earl Grey used for such a purpose as the one quoted above ! The answer of the English Secretary of State for the Colonies, when charged with this distortion of an im portant document to support. his own views, is this—' I ac cepted the testimony of the memorial as to the facts of the case, but I did no t abide by its authority in matters of opinion.' "The public must be left to form its own judgment on this state of facts. It is deplorable to find an English. statesman's name mixed up with such a transaction_ Nothing, one should imagine, but an inborn sense of honesty and uprightness is needed in order to arrive at a correct decision upon this case. Who amongst our read— ers would have taken a letter from his pocket and used its contents in the course of business as Earl Grey did this West Indian memorial ?" SUICIDE OF A LADY.—At Bideford, on Wednesday week, Mrs. Mary Madelina Bourmaster Douglas, aged 39, wife of Major Douglas, of the Royal Infantry, and. daughter of the late Gen. Sir William Dixon, committed suicide by taking prussic acid. She had been married to Major Douglas about 21 years. and was the mother of ten children. seven of whom are living. The deceased, who had been in India with her husband almost ever since their marriage, returned to England about twelve months ago. Major Douglas landed at Southampton some three weeks since, and having joined the deceased at Exeter, they repaired to Bideford, where they were lodging when the fatal event occurred. The deceased had appeared as usual up to the afternoon of Wednesday, although the persons with whom she lodged deposed that she was fre quently much dejected, and that her manner often sug gested to them doubts of her sanity. Major and Mrs.. Douglas and three of their children dined together, and deceased seemed in g o o d sp i r it s , an d ta lk e d w i th her hus band, with apparent pleasure, of their proposed embarka tion for India in October. Soon after dinner she sud denly rose from the table, and after the lapse of about half a minute returned hurriedly, and rushed into the drawing-room, where she fell senseless on the floor. Messengers were despatched for a surgeon, who arrived_ within five minutes, when he found life not suite extinct, but death occurred within a minute of his arrival. A bot tle was found on deceased's dressing table, which had con tained prussic acid, which it appears she had procured in two separate quantities under pretence of poisoning eats. A BILL STEALING AND THREATENING-LETTER Es- TABLISHMENT.—Mr. Robinson, the Superintendent of the P division of Police, waited on Wednesday on Mr. Elliott, at Lambeth-office, to report to the Magistrate the result of his inquiries respecting a gang of swindlers in the Albany-road and Kent-road, who appear to have carried on a system of fraud to a most incredible extent. The transactions being carried on in writing, the persons duped never saw the face of the sharpers by whom they were swindled, and cannot therefore identify them. From the number of names assumed by the swindlers, it seems almost hopeless to bring home any specific charge to them.

NECESSITY OF A DUE ALLOWANCE OF SLEEP.—Habit influences in some degree the amount of sleep that is re quired. It should be said, however, that it is never well to withhold any of the revenue that is justly due to the drowsy god. A man may accustom himself to take so lit tle sleep, as to be greatly the loser thereby in his waking moments. It may be commonly observed, that those persons who spend less time in sleep, than is usually found needful by others of the same age and strength and occu pation, consume a much larger portion of their days than others do, in a kind of dreamy vacancy, a virtual inactivity of mind and body. The hours expended in sleep are not the only hours that might be justifiably deducted from the sum total of the life, as having been lost to it : numbers of moments hre daily spent in an absolute inaction of mind and body ; and sleep cannot be robbed of its dues, with out adding largely, and in greater proportion than the time habitually stolen from the sleep, to that which is wasted in such waking reveries. In order that the mind may have the power of undergoing trying and exhausting labour, that it may continue in the full possession of its capitalists, that it may continue to be undulled and un blunted by such wear and such use, an amount of sleep must be allowed, which is proportionate to the severity of such work, to the engrossing and expending nature of the mind's employment. The nights may be robbed of the hours of sleep ; and the time so stolen may be devoted to toil of mind or of body ; but the endurance by the system of the undue waste and imperfectly restored balance of the vital force, even if somewhat protracted by the strength of the constitution, or if prolonged somewhat by the energy of a determined will, or by the spur of a great necessity, or by the desired goal of a great ambition or darling hope, must be short-lived. The system cannot be robbed of its sleep without a corresponding disturbance and derange ment of the functions; the power and the equilibrium of the vital forces will become so far affected, as to involve disordered action; and thus indirectly by forming part of the common organism, and directly by the diminished tension of the vital forces which supply the sensorium it self, the mind will become unable to continue its exer tions. Many an, ardent and hopeful aspirant for collegiate distinctions, many an anxious labourer for professional eminence, has thrown away his hopes in thus vainly struggling to cheat the system of this great requirement. —Dr. Robertson on Diet and Regimen. change." he cool birthday on the 19th ul k scholars, of whc the afternc opened at U past four o'clock On Wedn paper before five o'c urch I ven in t he Nort rich was run at t was put On TuesC by inviting the Town rapidity with which Le Sun of Thursday. .ished by that a meeting of the held.

At a marriage which was solemnized at Christ Church, Bristol, a fcw days since, the officiating clergyman closed the ceremony by raising the veil of the bride, impressing a kiss on her forehead, and then blessing her from the altar. This, which is said to be a revival of an old custom in the church, excited some commotion among the nu merous persons in the body of the sacred edifice. INDIA RUBBER. PAVEMENT.—The court-yard of the Admiralty, Whitehall, has been covered with a pavement of India rubber. It is laid down in pieces about twelve inches square and one in thickness. The quadrangle at Buckingham - -palace, formed by the erection of the new wing, will also be covered with this material, which its projectors have named " Kamntolite." Its chief recom mendation in that it-deadens all sound. The barque Commerce, 267 tons, Alexander Halliday, master, of and from Galway, with 68 passengers, for St. John's, New Brunswick, was totally lost on Port Monton Island, a little to the westward of Liverpool, Nova Scotia, on the morning of the 31st May, and we regret to state that eight of the passengers, and an apprentice belonging to the ship, were drowned. WASTE LANDS.—It is stated in " Fleming's Policy," that there are 14,700,000 acres of waste land in the United Kingdom, viz. :—ln England, 3,454,000; in Wales, 530,000 ; in Scotland, 5,250,000 ; in Ireland, 4,600,000 ; in the British Islands, 166,006. It is believed that one fourth might be reclaimed for wheat culture.

On Sunday week, about one o'clock at noon, the mill of Messrs. Hirst, Day and Co. known as the Albion Mill, at Dewsbury, was burnt to the ground. The damage sus= tained is supposed to be from £BOOO to £9OOO. The co n . flagration is said to have originated in the spontaneous combustion of some waste material. Upwards of one hundred mill hands will be thrown out of employment by this calamity.

STEAM BOAT EXPLOSION.—The steamer Neptune, be longing to North Shields, was off the port, a distance of about six miles, on Wednesday in last week, when the boiler burst, and the captain, named Benjamin Baxter, was so severely scalded, that he died shortly after being landed at North Shields. The fireman also, named Wm. Robson, is not expected to survive the injuries he received from the same cause.

The dwelling house was filled with water, to a considerable height, and soon rendered tenantless. Another rivulet which flows into the Allen, at Allendale Town, came down in such fury as to choke up the bridge over which the turnpike road crosses, sweeping away a considerable portion of th 3 arch and embankment along with it. The candle house at AHendale Town was filled with water within a' few inches of the top, and the chandler ' in attempting to save the life of his dog, narrowly escaped through a window with his own At a house near the village Of Catton the water ac cumulated to so great a depth behind the house, that it burst open the back door and rushed out at the front, carrying a portion of the furniture along with it down the road towards the village. At Mount Pleasant, a thunder bolt struck the chimney top, brought Gown a parr or ceiling, and made a small hole through the lintel of the chimney-piece, which is an immense block of freestone.— The water entered the horizontal flues at Langley Smelt Mill, 4 and swept away lead fume of considerable value. At Stublick the lightning set a thatched cottage on fire, and burnt it down. The cottage was not inhabited. Two cows were killed, one at Old Town, and the other at Newfold House. Some persons were stunned and slightly injured; but, fortunately, no lives were lost. The grass and turnip fields have sustained more or less injury, accor- - ding to situation, and in some fields the soil has been com pletely swept away. DR. WISEMAN AND HIS CHAPEL.—From the Ere Nouvelle (Paris paper) of the 20th instant, we translate the following fragment of a letter which had been addressed by " Mgr. Wiseman" to 'all the Bishops of Germany, Belgium, and France, inviting them to assist at the open ing of the Popish Chapel in St. George's-fields on Tues day next. Dr. Wiseman's object is to edify us, poor ignorant Protestants, with a " demonstration"—a not "unusual thing in these exciting times. If any part of this demonstration take place in the public 'streets, we trust that the attention of the police will be directed thereto. Here is the portion of the letter alluded to :—" The 4th of July is the day fixed for the solemn opening of the large church of St. George in this city, and I ardently desire, not only that the ceremonies should be performed with all suitable pomp, but also that our holy religion should derive from thence a new splendour and a powerful impulse. Nothing can make us. more surely attain this double object than the presence of foreign pontiffs. The presence of a great number of bishops will add much to the splendour of the solemnity • it will prove, moreover, to Anglicans and other Protestants, that it is we, and not they, who are recognised abroad as the true Catholic Church of this country, and will give to all a visible proof of the unity of the faith and of worship which binds toge 'the pastors of the universal Church. I need not add what consolation the presence of ' Your Greatness' (Voire Grandeur) would afford to the Catholics themselves. I come then, in all cordiality and effusion (sic), to invite Your Greatness to do us the honour of assisting at this festival—the greatest, probably, and the most splendid that England may have seen since the period of the Refor mation." Dr. Wiseman depends, then, upon a theatrical display to convince Protestants that the Romish Church is the true Catholic Church of this country.—Church and State Gazette. relief of t nexamplect 1 it is to L t fifty years, the atic-lit fifty years; but 1 though heavy ever m most ( industry Warwicl ely,Cor '9d. a 1 inmouth, the d ; where , Norfolk.

It further appears, from the census of 1841 as compared with that of 1831, that t her of men employed in agricultin is not increasing And it is furtfier‘probabli; that from the adoption of various sanitary measures, and the general improvement of medical science, the increase in future years will be in even a higher ratio than in times past. jf,then, there should be that increase which seems so highly probable, and if the land cannot employ them, what is to become of them, or of the land either? espe cißlly if, as must some day happen, the manufacturers should come to a check, and not be able to receive the usual influx. It really seems as if they must tail back upon the land till they swamp all the rents, unless they be provided with a new home iii the Colonies, where they would not only cease to be burthen some to the land, but ,would become even beneficial to it by their demand for manufactured goods, thus enabling the ma nufacturers to continue their usual drain of the waste water from the land. Our export trade is already greatly indebted to the Colonies, which, including the United States, take now twenty-eight per cent. of our whole exports. Let us once lodge a nation of 5,000,000 in New South Wales, which, by the operation of natural laws, would soon become 10,000,000 and a 0,000,000, and imagination eon ,carecly set bounds to the demand which might arise for the products of our manufactur ing industry." That tbe condition of the emigrants would be improved, we need only refer to the extracts which we gave a week or two since from Mr. Waghorn's pamphlet. The plenty which is proved to exist in those distant rezions contrasts tantalizingly with the want and misery from which too many of the inhabitants of this country are unfortunately suffering. * A monthly publication, which ought to be extensively cir culated.

The London Times on Tuesday volunteered a defence of the officials of the Colonial-office from Ihe charges brought against them by Lord George Bentinck ; and read a lecture to that nobleman for the alleged crime of accus ing men without proofs to support his accusations. The explanation (!) given on Tuesday night, however, in the House of Lords, and the able statement of the Case by Lord Stanley, appears to have wrought a change in our contempary's opinions. Admitting the possibility of an accidental mistake, with respect to Sir C. Grey's despatch, he coincides with Lord Stanley in condemning the conti nued withholding of the despatch in question, after the error committed had been discovered, and the total sup pression of an important paragraph in Governor Higgin son's despatch. Upon the subject of the misrepresentation of the substance of the memorial from Jamaica our con temporary is rather severe ; and we give his view of that transaction at length, as confirmatory of those which we have ourselves already expressed With regard to the West Indian memorial—on which after all, the substantive charge against Earl Grey rests — the case is equally clear. The tendency of Earl Grey's statement was absolutely to lead the house into gross error. All the peers present, all who read Lord Grey's speech, must on the strength of this memorial, so ex pounded to them, have arrived at the conclusion that a number of planters were investing capital in Jamaica — and doing well." " The unhappy memorialists had but little idea of the use to which their complaints would be applied by the Colo nial Secretary. " Earl .
