H e wished to see it protected in every spot, in every quarter of the land, and shielded and guarded by the arms of the brave of their country." The Bank Bill had not passed the Senate. It had been laid aside for a day or two, in order that the Loan Bill might pass without delay. The opposition -did not, however, seem disposed to meet the wishes of the ministerialists, notwith standing the latter urged, as a reason for expedition in the passage of the measure, that the national treasury was nearly empty. Mr. Everett, of Massachusetts, had been nominated by the President Minister to London. The prodUce, money, and stock markets had not under gone material change in the short interval between the 16th and the 18th ult. The shares in the Bank of the United States had fallen to 17.!. It appears, says a Washington correspondent of the Herald, that Mr. Webster has now another gordian knot to cut that presents even more difficulties than the case of M`Leod. The vicegerent of Christ on earth, his holiness the Pope of Rome, in the exercise of his apostolic functions, called the Bishop of Detroit to appear before him in the year 1838 or '39. The latter, in obedience to the divine mandate, repaired to Rome and kissed his holiness's great toe with all due humility, as becomes an orthodox christian of that old school, and a citizen of these United States ! It appears our poor Yankee Bishop (Reese) was thrust into prison in the holy inquisition, and urged to resign his apostolic functions of pastor of the diocese of Detroit. tie refused, and con tinues to languish in the dungeon of the holy inquisition, cut off front all communication With his country and friends. This will be officially communicated to the department of state to-morrow by a catholic priest, who says our worthy fellow-citizen is suffering this prolonged incarceration owing to certain calumnies of his colleagues in th e United States, who have been accessary to his imprisonment, and have known the fact ever since its consummation, but have care fully kept it a secret from the laity in this country, and espe cially from the flock of the sufferer. A citizen of the United States called to Rome to be judged by his holiness for acts alleged to have been committed in the United States, is an anomaly, at least in the history of our country.

M'Lton's CASE.—This case, we learn, cannot be carried into the United States courts at all. It may be carried to the Court of Errors, the highest state court, but no further. The next step is, either his liberation or his trial, according to law. The probability is that he will be tried at once.— New York Herald of 17th ull. The Herald repeats a statement previously made by it, that M`Leod's case will not cause any difficulty between Mr. Fox and Mr. Webster. The Times and Evening Star, alluding to the opinion delivered by the Supreme Court, says, that the opinion meets with but little favour at New York, where it is considered unsound in its positions and principles, as connected with the law of nations and inter national law generally. Mr. Pickens, the author of the celebrated Report from the Committee of Foreign Relations, pronounced the opinion of the court " an able one, which never could be gainsaid in the United States or Great Bri tain." In a debate, in the House of Representatives, on the 16th ult., on the Fortification Bill, this gentleman, refer ring to M`Leod's case, said, " He trusted that M`Leod would be tried : it was due to the independence and rights of New York that he should be ; but he hoped that he would have a fair hearing, and, above all, it was due to the people of New York, to their character, to our free and glo rious institutions, that he should have an impartial trial." Several other members, in the course of the same debate, stated their approval of the opinion delivered by Justice Cowen. _ _ Mr. M'Leod's case was the prominent topic in the debate on the debate upon the Fortification Bill, inasmuch as, in the opinion of the speakers, it might lead to a serious diffe rence between the United States and Great Britain. Mr. Brown, of Philadelphia, said, that he had, on the 15th, stated to the committee the utterly exposed and defenceless state of the city of Philadelphia and the shores of the Delaware, and the necessity there was for some early or immediate measures for their defence. " The remarks since made," said Mr. Brown, " by gentlemen of all political parties, in relation to the difficulties existing between this country and Great Britain, had convinced him that war was not improba ble, but likely to come upon us." Mr. M'Keon said, that it did not become the United St a t es " to qu a il before the inso lent and arrogant power of Great Britain. He had no idea that she would be so anxious to declare war against us. The great interests she had at stake would induce her to consider well before she warred against this country, even if M`Leod ' " be not released, or acquitt e d according to her request. Ar l'e°d must be tried : if g u ilty, he would'b' e added Mr. M Keon, convicted. If he was not present at the burning of the Caroline ; if he can prove the alibi he says he can, let him at once submit to a trial, and then, in a short time, the whole case will be at an end. M'Leod's case would be at an end; but the Caroline mtissacre and burning were not at an end. He gave gentlemen in power notice, that he c satisfactorily prepty, an d t h e mur d er o settled a point wou ld never cease his pursuit of that q uest i on. To that he would hold the present administration. A s l ong as h e held a seat on that doo r he would unce as i ng l y pursue the subject, which involved the question of a viol a ti on of the ter ritory of the state, f one of his fellow-citizens." The deb ate on the Fortifica tion Bill was resumed on the 17 th ult. M r . F err i s , until the l' burning saw of New York, in the course of it spoke in support of a large appropriation for the purposes of national def ence . T he conclusion of his speech was as bellicose as th e speeches •de livered during the 'debate generally had been.

A committee has been ap pointed in the House of Assembly to equalize the currency. The committee which had been named to decide upon the subject of reporting the debates, handed in a report in favour of the Assembly subscribing for five hundred copies of the " Mirror of Parliament." It was also stated by the com mittee, that they had written to the proprietors of the French journals in Canada, to know upon what terms they would engage to publish, in the French language, the parliamentary debates as they appear in the " Mirror of Parliament." The consideration of this report was postponed till a future day. A great discussion has taken place in relation to the Lower Canada elections. By some of the members it was contended that the law of Lower Canada, commencing Ist May, 1836, had not expired, in consequence of there having been no regular session in law since that period ; for, although the house bad met twice, and been as many times prorogued, still, as no bills which had passed had received the royal assent, there had therefore been no session, even though the parliament had been called together : by others it was con tended that, whenever the members had met in parliament, there had been a session. The government plan of banking and currency is nearly matured. The Speaker has given his first parliamentary dinner. A number of citizens of Quebec, mostly of French origin, have put in circulation a petition to the Provincial Legisla ture, praying the house to intercede with the Queen for a full pardon to all persons implicated in the " troubles " of 1837- 1838. The 43d regiment has arrived at Toronto. Both provinces are unusually healthy. The governor-ge neral has quite recovered.

TO CORRESPONDENTS If a " Sunday-school Teacher " had written his communi cation upon one side of the paper, and forwarded it at an early hour in the day, we might have been able to have used it ; but it was received too late, and, for the cause assigned, it was useless. It is left out for him, if he thinks proper to re• write it. Ebr Zibrrpool &tanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 10, 1841. By the papers brought last week by the Crane, we observed that the good people of the West Indies, who had just heard of the defeat of ministers on the sugar question, were wondering what would come next. We are not surprised at their perplexity; but amidst the diversified intelligence contained in these papers, it gave us pleasure to observe that the prevailing tone of feeling is far from despondent. A public meeting, most numerously attended, had been held at Trinidad, at which strong resolutions were passed " condemnatory of the presumption that there was a necessity for the mother country to resort to other than her own colonies for a supply of sugar, especially to those cultivated by slaves, and declaring that that island alone, from its extent and fertility, was capable, with a sufficient la bouring population, of producing more sugar than the inhabitants of Great "Britain can consume, and at a cheaper rate by free labour than it can be raised in any country where slavery prevails, provided the restric tions which now impede the free current of immigra tion be removed, and that an adequate protecting duty be continued to the British grower until he can obtain a sufficient supply of free labour. These resolutions were to be forwarded to the Colonial Secretary, and the official support and recommendation of the Governor requested." . _ _ Here then is a statement which is well worthy of consideration, granting even that it should in some measure exaggerate with regard to the capabilities of this one island. It shows the strong confidence enter tained by the inhabitants in its resources—a confidence which it is not to be supposed they would either feel, or affect, if there were not some foundation for it. They assert that Trinidad alone is capable of producing more sugar than the inhabitants of Great Britain could consume. We have no need to put the assertion to the proof; but there is enough •in it to make us pause when anything so anti-national and monstrous is pro posed as that of abandoning our own colonies, and re sorting to slave-cultivated countries for an article which these, our own colonies, are capable of supplying us abundantly with. It is a healthy sign that there is almost no other se. rious complaint but the want of labourers in the islands, and that great exertions are being made to procure them. Th ere i s no despair of being able t o cultivate by means of free labour only. Recent efforts to obtain free i mm i gran t s have met with encouraging success. At Jamaica it was ascertained that only two families, from London, had quitted the island, and that the departure of these was looked upon rather as a gain —contrary to a report that many late immigrants, becoming dissatisfied, had left. A Mr. Hamilton had given evidence before the committee of the Agricultural and Immigration Society highly favourable to the plan of procuring labourers from the superabundant popu lation of Sierra Leone. During a residence at the lat ter place, where every source of information had been open to his inquiries, he had become convinced that when the absolute freedom and the high wages of la bour which await the emigrants in the colonies became known, an abundant supply would he obtained from the surrounding countries. In such intelligence we discover a spirit of activity and enterprise which augurs most favourably for the future prosperity of our West Indian colonies, provided only that they receive that protection and support from the home government to which they are justly entitled. We possess in that re gion a mine of wealth as yet but imperfectly explored, and not half developed. We have as yet but a most imperfect idea of what may be done there by free la bour. "Absolute freedom and high wages" will not fail, after a while; to produce the effects which so tempting a bounty is well calculated to do, and bring into the market an abundant supply of labourers, and "absolute freedom and high wages" will be certain to beget in the seettlers a spirit of acquisition, and a de sire for the luxuries of life, which will be beneficially felt at home in an increased and increasing demand for our manufactures. Here is a market subject to no va riation from the interference of foreigners, and where, without being contaminated by the pestilent vapour of slavery, our trade may he as free as the air we breathe. If all the discussions we have lately had on foreign trade, shall have the effect of calling public attention to the immense resources possessed by this country in her colonies and colonial trade, and a proper cultiva tion of them, the consummation will be indeed a most happy one. Complaints are made in the Jamaica papers of the increase of mendicancy in the streets, far beyond what was ever known before, and the fact was giving rise to speculations on the prospective necessity of regular assessments for the relief of the poor on the principle of poor laws in the mother country. The existence and the prevalence of mendicancy is, however, a natural consequence of the enfranchisement of the people from slavery, foreseen and foretold by prudent observers at the time of the passage of the Emancipation Act. The same result may invariably be traced in the history of all old communities, where, on the abolition of the feudal system, the people released from a state of vas salage in which the duty and the burden of their sup port fell upon the liege lord or proprietor, were, in re turn for the personal liberty and rights thus acquired, thrown upon their own industry and resources for support. It is not difficult to comprehend that sooner or later the West India colonies will have to resort to poor laws in addition to the laws for the suppression of vagrancy which they have already enacted. Some of our brethren of the Conservative Press are not disposed to acquiesce in the policy of that self denying ordinance of Sir Robert Peel, which will have the effect of leaving in the hands of an individual Whig the office of Speaker, with all its emoluments and dignity, and certainly it is no trifling sacrifice : such a one as we should never expect from a leader of the adverse party. We have struggled, say the dissen tients, not only for a change of measures, but a change of men ; we have fought hard, and we have won : why then are we not to reap the fruits of a glorious vic tory ? We have had enough of conciliation, and must have no more of it. Was it ever heard that the Speaker of the House of Commons was the chosen of the minority of the House ? Sir Robert Peel has, by this false move, greatly damped the ardour of his friends, and, if he continue to act on this tack, must destroy either the cause confided to his conduct, or himself as the leader of the Conservative party. Such is the view taken of this step by some of our talented and esteemed confreres of the constitutional press, and we freely admit that, at the first blush, the case might easily wear that aspect with which it seems to have presented itself to them ; but a very slight annotation of particulars must serve to show that they judge hastily. We admit that we have been engaged in a long and severe conflict ; but has it been for nothing more than to put a few individuals of our own party into com fortable berths ? Has it been no more than a scramble for offices, and do we lose the fruits we looked for, when a single place or pension which might have been secured to a follower eludes our grasp ? Surely it will not be said so. Conservatism, as we understand it, has had in view a far nobler and more comprehensive range of objects. Its steady, unvarying principie, we take to be the greatest happiness of the greatest num ber by the agency of sound instruction and just mea sures, and we shall not permit ourselves to call anything anti-Conservative that does not aim at obstructing, or that is not practically a hindrance to, these great ob jects. The simple question then is, does our leader make any sacrifice of our great cause, whatever he may do as regards his immediate friends, by declining to wrest the office of Speaker from the hands of its pre sent occupant ? We answer that question in the ne gative, and for two reasons—first, because the office is not a party one, but judicial rather than political, and because, when it is fairly and properly discharged, as it is allowed to have been in this case, Conservatism can sustain no injury from its being in the hands of a merely nominal Whig ; and, secondly, because Mr. Shaw Lefevre would not be removed without the country having to pay him a pension of £4,000 a-year. This latter consideration would probably he but a ba gatelle in Whig estimation, but it is something in the contemplation of a Conservative, and, as an evidence of principle, it will be a great deal in the opinion of the country. Whigs talk of economy; let it be seen by the people that the Conservatives practise it. Sir Ro bert Peel is bound to act in conformity with his own opinions, and ought not to suffer in our esteem for his strictness in this respect, and it is known that he ar gued against the selection of Mr. Abercromby to fill the office of Speaker chiefly on the ground that it was not a political appointment, and that mere party consi derations ought to he laid aside in selecting the person to occupy it. The Whigs, it is true, did not adopt this doctrine, or at least took good care that the most " senseless and fit man" should be of their own party when they were strong enough to make a choice ; but their example in this, as in most cases, is good only for avoidance, not for imitation. Suppose our leader were to follow it, we should be glad to know how our dis sentient friends would answer the objections that would instantly be raised against him ? Could they reconcile such conduct with his own preaching, the litera scripta of which may readily he found in Hansard's Parlia mentary Debates, or with his high character as a states man and economist ? Would they have him " give up to party what was meant for mankind?" Such a step we do not at all look upon in the light of unto ward conciliation, but as the dignified proceeding of a man and of a party resolved to act steadily upon prin ciples most conducive to the interest of the country, whatever loss it may occasion to themselves indivi dually. This is just what we desire our leaders would make the polar star of their conduct—to adhere to principle, and yield as little as possible to expediency, whatever amount of temporary inconvenience such strictness may involve. As to conciliating by conced ing against principle to the demands of our adver saries, or filling offices voluntarily from their ranks, we utterly abominate the practice, and would go quite as far as any of our contemporaries in condemning it. We trust it is a rock which our leader will be careful to avoid; but we acquit him of such an intention in this instance; and add that if, during his administra tion, he shall give no other or further occasion for such an imputation, he will do well. The Americans begin to wax - insolent. McLeod is still their prisoner, and the rem onstrances of our mi nister are treated with contempt. Their conduct is disgusting beyond measure; but bow far is forbear ance on our part to be extended ? By the intelligence last received, it appears plainly that hitherto it has only had the effect of augmenting the insufferable vanity and presumption of the republicans, and war with England is become as familiar to their tongues as if they cared nothing about it. Truly, unless we mean to give up our innocent countryman as a peace offering to the offended dignity of Yankee land, it is almost time to rescue him out of their clutches. This is another admired part of Lord Palmerston's foreign policy, and one knows not which to laud most—his war-system with the Chinese, or his peace-system with the Americans. A war with America is most likely another precious legacy about to be left by the Whigs to their Conservative successors in office—a war, by I the way, which would have been easily avoided had L timely demonstration been made, that our countryman must neither be unjustly put to death, nor kept in prison. Wars of all sorts are detestable, and a war With America would be of all wars the most foolish and unnatural ; but submitting to such outrageous conduct as we have endured from the republicans in the person of NPLeod, is not the way to avoid a war, but the way to bring it on. Since the Americans are so anxious for a scrimmage, it would be advisable to help them to it early; we shall certainly be rather late with our demonstrations, either when our countryman is hanged, or the republicans have had time to prepare themselves. Defend us from Republicanism, and a State without a Church, say we. America is surely at this moment a fine specimen of its working ! Great energy there may be indeed under such a government, -but it affords no security for national truthfulness, honour, or fidelity; and, however some may prosper who live under it, it is by no means so desirable for other States to come in contact, or so . easy for them to hold relation, with it. The Protestant Association of London has origi nated a petition to Parliament for inquiry into the abominable outrages committed in Ireland at the late elections, and we hop€ to see a similar petition from Liverpool, and indeed every good conservative town and place in the kingdom. The popery of Ireland is a reproach to England—its execrable licentiousness our standing disgrace. Nothing has been done to curb, but every thing to pamper and indulge it of late, and the first moment of trial at once developer the ruinous consequences of so mistaken a policy. The people of England must take up this matter, and not leave it discretionary with any ministry to act upon a system so cruelly injurious to Ireland, and so dange rous and detrimental to the empire. The civilization of Ireland is not to be effected by falling in with the views of popish priests ; that method has been fully tried by the Whigs, and its only result is, to make the people more brutal and barbarous than ever. We shall soon have a change of administration, let us be certain of having a complete change of government at the same time. The agitator is making good use of his time, well knowing that the days of his bad eminence are num bered. Certainly he makes no mystery of his trea sonable intents ; while the nominal Chief-Governor dares not say a word, and Lord Morpeth dines in company with him, nay, condescends to go on visits specially to meet him. Is it any wonder then that treason gathers strength, and that the plot which is to sever Ireland from England thickens ? American sympathizers have been sending money to aid the in surgent cause, and hasten the Irish declaration of in dependence7—and O'Connell rejoices that, thanks to steaming, Ireland is now but a ten days voyage from New York—a fortunate circumstance indeed, if it could induce himself and a very large train of his followers to make the transatlantic trip, and repeal the union between themselves and the " bright gem of the sea" for ever—but not at all an unfortunate one as regards the integrity of our empire. This steaming is a game that two can play at, and if it be begun, all we shall say is, that we back Old England against the world. But we desire to make no boast on this head; a great deal of mischief might be done before steaming, with all its wonders, could be made available to arrest its progress ; what we desire to see is, the sister country judiciously and wisely, but effectively governed ; for this is a point in which every British subject has an interest. The Whigs are a cunning race ; but the Whigs of our Town Council seem to possess a perfectly diame trical character, and to be afflicted with that unerring sign of approaching fall which the poet alluded to, when he wrote—" quos Deus vult perdere prius de mentat." Can any of our townsmen have read our report of the proceedings of the last council meeting, without being perfectly amazed at the folly which could prompt the " liberal" and reforming portion of that body to sneer at the above mention of " economy in the Town Hall Estabiishment,"—a theme upon which so many of them have been eloquent in day s gone by. Can we help wondering at the blindness which cannot see that the day is coming when such eloquence may again be found serviceable—when, ex cluded from civic banquets, and shut out from the likelihood of riding to conventicle or mass-house in a mayor's coach, it may become patriotic and convenient to assert with Mr. Yates the propriety of a civic functionary " entertaining his private friends out of his private purse, rather than out of that of the public," and the benefit to his health to be derived from walking instead of riding " Posterity, we fear, will scarcely credit that a party so liberal, so self-denying, and so virtuous, could for a moment hesitate to sacrifice the tinsel and state which belong to office, to purchase a boon so great, as the enlightened councillor for Toxteth shewed the possi bility of attaining, by substituting biscuits and veal pies for the Town Hall turtle, and a walking-stick and strong shoes for the mayor's coach. We are heartily sorry that Mr. Yates did not, by the proposal of a substantive resolution on the subject, place on record the names of those " liberal" and re forming-councillors who are so flagitiously- in love with Town-hall dinners, and so unmindful of their health as to walk when they may ride in state. We must confess we have met few Whigs who would do any thing of this kind when put to the test, however loud may be their professions of single-minded patriotism when on the shady side of office. Our wonder is not therefore that Mr. William Earle and other similar jokers of his party were disposed to laugh down the proposition in question—being for the present in the sun,—but that they are so blind as not to perceive that their sun is about to shine on another side of the Council-room. In the mean time, Mr. J. B. Yates is a perfect paradox to us, and ought, p os iti ve l y , to b e the next mayor, were it only for the novelty of seeing a Whig pay over his allowance to the Corporate Fund, give good dinners out of his own pocket, and lay up the state coach in lavender ! There is no necessity for "pawning it," as suggested by the cynic philosopher of the Council-room. We cannot undertake to folloyi our Liverpool contempoary the Journal, in his ramblings ; we shall only say that it is no fault of ours that he has been so discursive, for it has not been in following, but in wandering away from the theme with which we supplied him, that he has performed so many escapades. We shall take up a few of his positions just to shew what an exceedingly inapprehensive and illogical race of people these free-trade blowers almost universally are. The first question he asks is, " What do we mean by na tional self-support..".' One would think it was not so diffi cult to understand the meaning of these words ; we would be understood as using them in their obvious sense, and as we could not hope to make that more plain by any further description, we leave our contemporary to the use of his dictionary, and the exercise of his own ingenuity for its discovery. " Nearly three millions of our population," he proceeds, " are at present dependent on foreign trade for their daily bread ; would our independence, as a nation, be weakened or strengthened by the extension of that trade ?" Now, let us answer this question which way we will, the answer is not of the smallest moment to the question of a foreign trade in foreign corn ; it has not the slightest bear ing upon, or relation to it. Our objection is of course not to foreign trade generally, but to foreign trade in an article with which it is in our power to supply ourselves ; to dis- placing our own labourers, and depressing our own farmers for the advantage only of foreigners. Our contemporary's next elucidation of the subject is as follows :—" Here lies the gist of the whole question at issue between us and the Standard. We contend that there were the English hand-loom weaver permitted to exchange his own piece of calico, the produce of his own toil, for two bushels of Polish wheat, he would be a more independent man than the weaver who, on account of our corn laws, is forced to give one piece of calico for one bushel of English wheat." So this is the gist of the question, in our contemporary's opinion ; in ours it is not at all the gist of the question, but exceedingly wide of it. The question is, what would be the effect of admitting foreign corn at a low duty, or without any duty, into our, ports; that is the question. Now how are we aided in the solution of this question, by a proposition to the effect, that the " English weaver permitted to ex change his one piece of calico for two bushels of Polish wheat, would be more independent than the weaver who is forced to give one piece of calico for one bushel of English wheat?" Why this latter proposition might be quite true in the abstract, and yet we should be no nearer in our ratiocina• tion to a repeal of the corn laws, by reason of our admittin, it; but the propounder alleges in addition, that this happ consummation is hindered only by the corn laws. The pr vation endured by the weaver takes place, he says, count of the corn laws." Now if this were true, the co, laws would be indeed a severe infliction on the poor weaver, and a great hindrance to his prospects of independence ; but " on ac is only an assumption—a mere assertion of an anti-corn LW advocate, and something which approximate:; :a little .earer to the " gist of the question" than the broad propo- ition with which he has connected it ; that's all. The :nglish hand-loom weaver, observe, who is to have " two ushels of Polish wheat, where he now gets only one !'.nglish," can obtain them only on the terms of " exchange ;" Int suppose the corn laws repealed, with whom is he to take the exchange ? Oh, the Polish serfs who grow this heap corn will make the exchange with him ! The foreign wheat grower desires nothing so much as to encourage our manufactures; they are only longing to be permitted to land their corn in our ports, in order—not to drain off our specie ;—oh, no ; but to have the extreme felicity of trans ferring their custom from their own native manufacturers to those of England, of Bolton, Manchester, Stockport, and all the other great manufacturing towns! Credal Judcens, Apqla ; non nos. There is much more excursiveness equally conclusive and satisfactory in our contemporary's remarks, but we cannot occupy space with its examination. We offer this one excerpt as a sample of the heap, and our readers may judge of it for themselves. For our part, we by no means in tend to insinuate or to affirm that our contemporary's rubbish is worse than the rubbish of other people who belong to the same school ; but we would just beg our readers to remark upon what wretched and unstable grounds the'whole party proceed, and how exactly the heat, and zeal, and noise with which they usually pursue their objects, seem to be proportioned to the want of clearness in their understandings, and of all precision in their reasoning. Our contemporary, after drawing a most mistaken inference from some former remark of ours, and perverting our mean ing, asks if the " self-supporting principle has not failed, because, during the last four years, we have annually im ported more than 2,000,000 quarters of foreign wheat? Although," he says, " our farmers, encouraged by monopoly prices, have raised as much grain as they possibly could ; and although our corn merchants have imported large sup plies from abroad ; yet, in spite of all this, several millions of the population have been half starved on account of the dearness of food and the consequent scarcity of employment. Since such, then, are the results of that agricultural protec tion which he defends so strenuously, we cannot understand why he should speak of it as a self-supporting' system." Begging our contemporary's pardon, the self-supporting pr'neiple is not in the least affected by the main fact to which ~e alludes, namely, the importation of foreign corn in con- sequence of unfavourable harvests at home. Does he quarrel with the circumstance that the protection of the farmer is Self-support is the rule, but lot carried higher than it i unfavourable seasons cause a very just exception to, and deviation from, it ; this is the farmer's loss, our loss, and every body's loss ; but the misfortune is rendered as light as possible by the operation of that sliding scale which lets in the foreigner's corn when we stand in need of it. This is no failure at all of our principle ; nay, it is a confirmation of its excellence ; because, if it were not for the rule—the law which gives the native farmer protection—the self-support thus established as the ordinary regulation, we should very likely look to foreigners in vain in bad seasons, or at least find it much less easy to meet our difficulties than we are able to do under existing circumstances Our contemporary next resumes his favourite topic of Italy 7id the Italians, and endeavours to prove, if we rightly un lerstand him, that the great complaint of that country is not opery, but an excessive attention to the cultivation of its •oductions, and the absence of power-looms and cotton fac- Now, we should only smile at such a paradox if it were sported by any other than an advocate or a member of the anti-corn law junto ; but of such parties, this and other such absurdities constitutes an important portion of their stock in trade ; it is actually a discharge of their most heavy artillery, and they expect it to do great damage. Our Jour nalist argues that because, in a dark age, the Lombard cities obtained for themselves a comparative amount of indepen dence, and carried on an extensive trade, that therefore Po pery has nothing to do with their present degradation, and that of all Italy. Ile should have carried his inquiry a little further, and have asked whether the advancement was effected in harmony and correspondence with the genius of Popery, or in spite of, and in opposition to it ? But no ; an anti-corn law advocate cannot be expected to be over perspicacious on this point. It is the agriculturist, and not the Pope, of whom he is in dread ; he thinks nothing of submitting to the " su preme jurisdiction of the Pope," as he delicately calls it ; but the plough and oxen of the farmer, and the simple appa ratus of their protection, arc a perpetual raw-head and bloody bones to his imagination. Oh lamb-like Pope ! Oh most sa vage and truculent farmer ! But there is an inspiration in the cotton-mill which, we )wn, we have never imbibed, and as there is said to be a pleasure in madness which none but madmen know," we must leave our contemporary to speak under its power. Without the high artificial heat of the mill, the smell of the oil, the rattle of the looms, and the fuz, no man could pro perly mount the tripod, and declaim against the balmy air— the vine-clad hills- -the cloudless skies—and (oh tell it not in Gath !) the" rude out-door 'cultivation of sunny Italy. These are the appliances to give wings to the poetry of cot ton. Let the agriculturist then beware, for the fire kindles, and the bard, " rapt, inspired," will convert your agricultu ral paradise into a wilderness—Popery into an angel of light and love—and the close factory, with all its infant slaves, and the densely inhabited manufaCturing town, with all its vice and filth, into an earthly heaven. Happy are they whom the gods have made poetical : for our part, we are so little liable to these tricks of the imagination, that in a mill we see only a mill, as in a sheep a sheep, or in any other matter-of-fact object its like.

HUGH MINEILE.—This eminent Minister delivered a most instructive and powerful discourse on Thursday, the 29th ult , to a large congregation, in the new Church of Crosshane, which was consecrated a few weeks ago for the worship o f th e one li v i ng an d true G o d , an d wich is situated but a few miles from his native place. His text was taken from the book of the prophet Zachariah, 4th chap. Gth and 7th verses. It would be utterly impossible, with the greatest advantage of language, to convey even a faint idea of the capabilities of Mr. M`Neile as a pulpit orator. The most sacred devotion is embodied in every sentiment that flows from his lips; the most searching pene tration and the most extended range of th oug ht are exibited in the developMent of each part of his discourse ; and in elucidating his views, his similes, though taken perhaps from the very commonest objects, are made, by the beauty of his diction, and his powers of explanation, subservient to the working out of results in argument, at once the most commanding and truthful to the judgment. And still our ideas of the greatness, both of the depth and expansion of his intellect, are increased in enduring splendour when, with the precision of an artist, he embodies in one beautiful whole those distant but perfect members that his mighty mind had created : but transcending his other talents, and beaming like a sun amid his other perfections, is the wisdom where with he adapts his views to the capacities of his hearers ; with the tender care of a Christian pastor he metes out the word of life to all as their strength requires it; while over the wise he exercises a judgment able to subdue their preju dices or meet their expectations of knowledge, he causes the waters of life to distil over the minds of the simple as the dew-drops upon the tender herbs; sedulous to convey in struction in the most pleasing manner, he is careful to guard against any expression likely to wear the most distant sem blance of trifling ; as a good physician, he weighs the depth of moral depravity with the infinite potency of the healing balm of Gilead ; and dissecting every feeling that would seek for a remedy more likely to palliate the evil affections of man's heart, he preaches alone Christ Jesus and him cru cified. Aided by the wisdom that cometh from above, may he long stand forward as the champion of Bible truth, which is our common Protestantism ! After the discourse, a col lection amounting to near £l5 was taken up, to assist in en closing with a wall the new erection.—Londonderry Sentinel. THE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.—OH Wednesday morn ing a letter from.the Rev. Mr. Hodgson, a clergyman of the established church, recommending a union of the Wesleyan Methodists with the church, was brought before the notice of the Conference, and gave rise to a long and interesting discussion. Among the speakers was Dr. Bunting, who took occasion to observe—in reference to one portion of the letter stating that those of the Wesleyan ministers who had passed the presidential chair should be made bishops —that no power whatever should ever induce or compel him to be made a bishop. He .had received a great number of com munications on the subject of the union of the Methodists with the church ; and he was induced to believe, that many persons attributed to him a power and an influence which he did not possess. Why those communications were addressed so pre-eminently to him he could not conceive ; but the fact was, that he had received two letters from members of par liament, thanking him for their elections, though he did not know those gentlemen, had had no previous communication with them, and was totally ignorant, before they themselves informed him, that they had been elected at all. One of the members in question was a tory, and the other was a whig. He mentioned that to show what a mistaken notion some idiscussion, c o nnection it people had of his intlueice r d the im c p o o u r r t s a e nc o e f u with the Wesleyan body.i—l was stated, that no official correspondence could be entered into with Mr. Hodgson, as he could have no power or authority to make any proposition that would be regarded by the church at large as authoritative. It was, however, re solved, that a reply be sent to him, thanking him for his kind motives in writing the letter, and expressing a desire that g may obtain among all religious greaterdenomu denominations. of T feeling is discussion occupied the greater portion of the forenoon. At five in the afternoon the Conference re-assembled for the ordination of the young men w h o were admitted to the m i n i stry, of whom there are between 30 and 40. The public were admitted, and the chapel was filled to overflowing. On Thursday afternoon, in consequence of the stationing committee being required to commence its deliberations, the general body did not sit more than about an hour. In the evening, the Rev. Robert Newton, the ex-president, delivered a charge to the newly ordained ministers, hi Oldham-street Chapel. The service was open to the public, and the congregation was very nu merous. On the question of the silk gown, the Conference has decided, that no preacher shall wear it without express permission from the Conference; and Dr. Bunting, by the direction of the committee, administered a reproof to the Rev. W. Bunting, and the Rev. Mr. Waddy, of Hull, for having appeared in the gown in the pulpit. Yesterday the. Conference was occupied in fixing the stations of the various ministers for the ensuing year. We may men ti o n, for the amusement of ou r readers, that a Mrs. Martin, a lecturer on socialism, sent a challenge to the Conference to discuss cer tain topics in connection with her views ; but we hardly need state, that the Conference did not accept the invitation. We believe that the Conference has not returned any answer to the letter from the committee of arrangement for the proposed conference of ministers on the corn-laws. —Man - Chester Guardian.
