Lord Hill commenced his military duty at Edinburgh, where he had the advantage of the best society, and received from many of the nobility and first families particular notice. His removal from Scotland took place in consequence of an offer he received of a Lieutenancy, in Captain Broug4ton's (afterwards Lieutenant-General Sir John Broughton) inde pendent company, on his raising the usual quota of men ; this he soon accomplished, and then removed as Lieutenant to the 27th. His friends being anxious for his eurly promo tion, obtained permission for him to raise an independent company, which gave him the rank of Captain in the army, in the year 1792. In the interval of his being attached to any particular corps, he accompanied his friend, Mr. Francis Drake, who went out as Minister on a diplomatic mission to Germany, whence Captain Hill. through the recommendation of his friend, proceeded to Toulon, and was employed as Aide-de-Camp to the then successful General commanding there—namely, Lord Mulgrave, General O'Hara, and Sir David Dundas. Capt. Hill had not at that time attained his 21st year, but had the honour of receiving from each of his commanders decisive proofs of their approbation. His next appointment was to a company in the 53d, with which regiment he was on duty in Scotland and Ireland. His conduct at Toulon recommended him to the notice and friendship of Lord Lynedoch, who made him the offer of purchasing a majority in the 90th : this step was gladly ac ceded to by himself and friends, and was soon followed by promotion to a lieutenant-colonelcy in the same regiment. He went through arduous duty with the 90th at Gibraltar and other places, and had his full share in the memorable Egyptian campaign.

On Gewwal Hill's arrival in England, in the beginning of the year 1809, he found himself appointed Colonel of the third Garris3n Battalion, and about the same period he be came posnssed of Hardwick-grange, an estate left to him by his untie, the late Sir Richard Hlll, Bart. At the battle of Tallavera General Hill was slightly wounded on the head. After which, the activity which enabled him to surprise a considerable corps of the enemy under General Girard, at Arroyo de Molino, is indicative of his high at tainments as a military man.

Peace having been signed at Paris, in May, 1814, his lord ship returned to the bosom of his venerable father and his friends at Hawkstone, in the followinr. month. On his road thither he was received with the utmost enthusiasm in every town through which he passed. His return to his native county was 'anticipated by the inhabitants with the liveliest A day was set apatt fora public dinner and rejoicing 3 I • with all the honours and enthusiasm of a triumphal entrance ; the town poured forth its population to gratulate him ; a cavalcade, comprising the principal personages in the county, escorted his lordship into the town, and he afterwards dined at the Town-hall. A short time after, the freedom of the borough was presented to his lordship in a gold box, and th reedom of the Drapers' Company "His lordship now o pass the remainder of his days . upon his estate a n d among his friends; but he was imme diately appointed to take command of an expedition against the Americans. Happily, however, the in that power terminated with the signature of ;ociations with the return or lionaparte from Elba, on the 4th of March, 1815, and his reascendancy in France, Lord Hill was offered a command in the Netherlands, and was present at the ever lemorable battle of Waterloo. His lordship, on that oc on, bad a horse shot under him ; and his two brothers ounded. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir R. Hill was ahot through the upuer part of the chest, but not deeply wound was in hiS•thig right arm, and the ball entered leis Lieutenant-Colonel Clement Hill's 11; a sabre passed quite through the Perhaps the occasion on which his lordship most distin guished himself was the desperate fight of Almarez, in 1812, from which he took his second title. Wellington directed Sir Rowland Hill to destroy the bridge of Almarez, defended on both sides of the river by very formidable works and a work, watcl soldiers were crowded on the parapet of thei the progress of an attack upon Miravete which, however, was merely a feint, intended to have been simultaneoua with the escalade. They had no suspicion of an attack till the rush of the assailants, the sight of their ladders, and the opening of their firing parties, thinned them, already on the alert, into swift resistance. With a good order, exceeded only by their valour, the 50th Regiment, and one wing of the 71st, soon mounted the parapet, and the defenders gave way. Their contest for the interior defences was but short ; they abandoned the intrenchment and tower, and fled to the tete de pont. Here was a scene of great con fusion ; for the pursuers entered the work with them. They rushed upon the bridge; but three oflhe boats were already cut away by the fugitives who first crossed. Many fell or leaped into the river, and were drowned; and about 250 wer made prisoner The river was soon passed; the towers and magazines in the fortes, and in the tete de pont, were blown up; the guns thrown into the Tagus; the palisades,:barriers, stores of tim ber and of tools, the pontoons and their carriages, were con sumed by fire, and the works utterly effaced and destroyed. This important service was effected with the loss of only 15 officers and 162 privates, killed and wounded. In reference to the battle of Waterloo, it is observed by Captain Boyle Sherer, that there does not seem to hove been that accurate information gathered of tne share borne by the corps under Lord Hill in this memorable battle as in those actions already recorded. It is true, that for some time the corps of Lord Hill took no prominent part in the engage ment. The post of his Lordship during the severe combats at Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, and on the centru of the position, was on the slope of the heights of Merke Brrine, to the right of the Nivelle-road, covering the right wing of the general line. From this position he anxiously observed every movement of the enemy ; and, as Napoleon gradually con centrated his left in the_ impetuous attacks upon Housou mop* ..., his Lordship carefully opposed him until the whole of his command was formed in squares on the heights which overlooked that important position between the roads of - and Gemappe. From this moment to the triumphant of the battle, he directed their operations in person. J great crisis of this conflict, when Napoleon made A effort, and the Imperial Guard advanced to the at ...lC, the services of Lord Hill, and especially of that brigade of his Lordship's corps commanded by Lieutenant-General Adam,.were conspicuous ; and by the judgement and ardour with which he supported the British Guards, be largely con tributed to the final and glorious result. In the year 1828, his Lordship was appointed the General Commanding in Chief of the Army of England, a situation at the Horse. Guards which he continued to fill under save , e• • . • e Lord Hill, as a commander, never suffered a defeat, yet no heedless sacrifice of life ever purchased for him the field of victory. The laurels he bravely won were solely attributable to his generalship and extraordinary skill in directing the energies of hi s t r oops under his command :—" With Hill," it was usua ll y o b serve d by the soldiery, " both life and victory may be ours." The Soldier's Friend was his acknowledzed title. His lordship was in his 71st year, and i s succee d e d i n his title by his nephe w a n d heir, Sir Rowland Hill, Bart., M.P., of Hawkstone, which will consequently cause a vacancy in the representation-of the northern division of this county.

Iler beauty, certainly, was not the cause . of discord between the two benedicks (of whom the former did not appear at the examination) but there was a small property, of which she had the management for two children by a former marrirge. fOr her MURDER AT YARMOUTH.—A few days ago two ferrymen, named Cook and Mann, having to settle about some fish which they brought to market, and Mann not giving full sa tisfaction to the other, a quarrel ensued, and Cook knocked Mann down, saying, " Now, you , I will do for you." and gave him a kick in the abdomen. The poor fellow never spoke afterwards, and expired in about an hour.

We are indebted to a correspondent for some interesting extracts from the private letters of one of the American cot ton planters in Bengal. Our readers will learn with regret that hitherto the experiments in that presidency have been failures. This, however, is entirely to be ascribed to the unfavourable nature of the climate in Bundelkund—the wi thering hot wind which prevails there having blasted the hopes of the planters. The intelligent writer, however, does not despair of being able to find suitable beations where these disadvantages do not prevail. The indigenous cotton appears to thrive better than the American—and there is a marked superiority of the American over the native mode of cultivation. The planter says : be tront I " Had tho s e who ttled us here explored all India for the t, this would have been the spot they n. This is proved from the fact that in the , part of the Dooah and Btindelkund, where we are located there are no indigo factories or sugar mills ; in a word, thare is nothing produced here but a little miserable grain, which affords the people a precarious subsistence, and a little poor cotton which affords them scarcely clothing, and which is too uncertain to risk being planted by itself, but is sown with a dozen different kinds of pulse. Notwithstanding the unfortunate result which has attended our efforts here, we do not despair of success in a more genial clime; and I doubt not that India possesses territory equal in extent to the whole cotton growing region of the United States which will produce the article ; and, with the assistance of govern ment, which I am sure the present rulers will lend, we will find them out ;. and judging from the description► Hamilton's Gazetteer gives, I would venture to point out the following countries in which I think the American cotton very likely to , succeed, viz., Bengal about Dacca, Moorshedabad, Bhan gulpore, Jumu!poor, Dinagepoor, Rungpoor, and even to Ghornekpoor, Oude, Rohilcund, &c. In the selection of these districts I have_ kept entirely out of, the range of the .• • course of this part of the country hot winds. I may also add Malwa, particularly about Saugor and Jubbulpoor. From the latter district Captain M`Leod sent us some seed, and on looking over them I found a lock of cotton, which I think particularly good. I need not attempt to enumerate the many sections of country on your side of India in which I think good cotton can be produced, as you will have a great acquisition to your practical knowledge in the planter who is qf setting out for your presidency. The native upon the ev nourishes most luxuriantly under our Mode of culti vation ; the hot wind does not affect that so much as it does a foreign plant. It is not very prolific under any circum stances, but from its present appearance it will produce a great deal more than the natives realise from it, but unfor tunately we have planted largely of the American variety, and but sparingly of the indigenous. The rain just came in time to save the khureef, or wet weather crop ; so, upon the whole, this will be a good season for the native grain crops. The khureef will not be so good as it would have been with a shower or two in August, but the people will not starve. The Indian corn crop is entirely cut in this neighbourhood. —Bombay Times, Nov. 2. REVIVAL OF THE SERGE MANUFACTORY.—We are hap py to tind that the good news from India and China has had the effect of re-animating the serge manufactories in Devon, which had been drooping for some time past. The extensive factories for this article at Ashburton and neighbourhood, have been set upon full work ; and the inhabitants seem in spired with a new life, at the prospect of a revival of trade to the East. ARRIVAL OF TIIE TREATY CIIINA.—The Locust steamer_ ND DESPATCHES F 11.03.1 Commander John Lunn, arribed at Plymouth on Friday from Malta, which she left on the 25th ult., bringing Major Malcolm, Secretary of Legation, and Commander C. Richards, of her Majesty's ship Cornwallis, the former charged with the Treaty of Peace vv.,,Luueu with china, and the latter with despatches for the Admiralty, with which they immediaeely on landing proceeded express for London. —Although Germany iron, in the mountains their product does not suffice to ...cent of consumption, and that of the railroads in progress on so many points of her territory. The imports of this metal continued, therefore, still on the increase in Hamburg, and principally from England; from whence, in 1841, no less than 30,000 tons were despatched and received in that port, and which, according to the basis of valuation there, represented a value in sterling equal to about £320.000. .—Barcelona, which was said to have submitted to ,„.nt, still holds out. The Junta wanted to surrender certain conditions: these his Highness refused, insisting that the surrender must be unconditional. The Junta re turned to the city, roused the citizens, and caused the toc sin to be rung, for the purpose of raising the whole district. The Regent was preparing to bombard the city ; one account says that the bombardment had actually commenced. An English and a grench squadron had assem bl e d i n t h e roads of Barcelona. The Christinos were suspected either to have had a hand in getting up the insurrection, or of a design to turn it to the advantage of the cause of the exiled Queen. Major Malcolm, the bearer of the despatches from China, with the treaty entered into by the Emperor, landed at Devenport on Sunday. He left Nankin on the 16th, and Hong-kong on the 26th of September, in the Auckland, and arrived at Suez on the 9th ult. On his reaching Alexandria, no English steamer being present, he proceeded by an Egyptian steamer to Malta, where he arrived on the 20th, but was detained, in consequence of there being no steamer ready to put to sea, till the 26th, when the Cyclops having arrived from Corfu, he proceeded in that vessel to England. Some of the accounts brought by this channel state the sum shipped by the Blonde frigate to be 5,000,000 dollars, instead of 3,000,000 dollars, as first stated.

Some indignation was once ex pressed at the idea of purchasing back our brave fellow coun trymen ; they have been purchased, with a large bribe to their keeper.

TIE. PRESENT STATE OF Moscow.—The Russian jour nals give some details, relative to Moscow, which are not without interest. Towards the end of the 17th century, ma nufactories of cloth, silk, cotton, glass, porcelain, and crockeryware, were established in this city, but without any decided effect until 1822, when, in consequence of the pro tective system adopted by the government, Moscow became the centre of a vast number of manufactories, all in the most flourishing state. At present there are, in and about the city, not less than a thousand of these establishments, send ing forth goods to the amount of 40,000,000 silver rubles a year. Upwards of 40,000 workmen are employed in those manufactories, besides 30,000 in various trades. The pro sperity of the city has, in fact, increased to such a point, that all traces of the terrible catastrophe of 1812, by fire, are entirely effaced. LORD ELLENuonoNq Ifs POLICY.—We quote with plea sure the following extract of a letter from an officer on the personal staff of the GOvernor-General of India. The re marks at the commencement seem to us to throw more light on Lord Ellenborou g h' s po li cy , hi t h erto s h rouded in such mystery, than is likely to proceed from any other quarter previous to the discussion of which it will be the subject iu Parliament, and the fact mentioned in the sequel is both novel and interesting :—" Simla, sth October, 1842. I dare say there has been an outcry against Lord Ellenborough in England, on the supposition that he was going to withdraw the armies without visiting Cabool or Ghuznee. The fact is, he did not choose to disclose his views and intentions to every babbling newspaper editor in India, who would soon have given information to the enemy. The result of his secrecy has been mantfest. The Affghans, under the im pression that Nott would retire without taking Ghuznee, did not think it worth while to garrison or improve the defences of the pace; and did not find out that he was coming that way till he was within 80 or 90 miles of it. What, indeed, would better have shown Lord Ellenborough's judgment and prudence, than the complete success with which his measures have been crowned ? The country owes him a great deal. A clever stroke of policy has been his order to Nott, to con vey away from Ghuznee the gates of the Temple of Sacu nauth, which originally belnnged to a Temple in Guzerat, and which were carried away to Ghuznee from thence 800 years ago, by Mahomoud of Ghuznee. They are the chief trophy of Mahometan conquest existing; and their being restored to India, and to their proper Hindu temple, will have the most gratifying effect in convincing all Asia of our irresistible power. The Hindus are delighted and the Mus sulmans are quite dispirited. The story of the gates is so well known in India, that all the natives are quite familiar familiar with it, and long before we heard here of Ghuznee being captured, we heard the bazaar report of the gates being carried away from Ghuznee."—Glasgow Courier. SWAN RIVER WHALE FISHERY.—A few days ago some remarks were made upon the wealth the Americans were deriving from the whale fishery at the Swan River; and in volving, as it appears to do, the enterprise of the British merchant, who, from all that can be learned,, had not ex plored that part of the southern seas with anything like the success attending our Transatlantic brethren, the subject deserves increased attention. The Americans, it would seem, are making the trade in oil, or at least the produce of these fisheries, entirely their own ; for whereas, in two or three instances which have come under our own special observa tion, it has been discovered that while a fleet of American vessels have fished, as was stated the other day, in the most successful manner in the bays of Western Australia ser f a dozen of our whalers visit those )rodent, who has forwarded some statistics OXFORD POLICE -.-COURT.—On Friday se'nnight George hoemaker, residing at Oxford, was chaaged be nd magistrates, under the vagrant act, with fore the mayor ;c., to deceive ad impa on Ann Paul- ing, u folloWing circumstances Pauling, of a joutnejunan coachsmith, residing in Abingdon, I with fits, went some time back to Oxford for The prisoner, having ascertained her errand that he was in possession of an effectual order, and agreed to cure her for a sove- reign.

TO CORRESPONDENTS, " A Waverer's " doubts are quite uncalled for. Let our correspondent ascertain that the course which the Council are pursuing with reference to the Corporation Schools is right and all apprehensions of injustice vanish. The same thing cannot be both right and unjust at the same time. The circulation of the STANDARD needs no such propping up as the gratuitous 'distribution of trumpery almanacs would afford it. We have had frequent indications lately of the decrease in the issue of some of our contemporaries, which is, perhaps, one reason, amongst others, of the now rapidly increasing circulation of the STANDARD. " Disappointment " gives way to unnecessary sorrow. The progress of the Corporation Schools is extremely satis factory • and so far fro m th ere b e i ng any i ntention of re linquishing their management on the part of the council, we believe some members of the Education Committee are strongly impressed with the opinion that more accommo dation will shortly be required for the children, if their numbers continue to augmen t as t h ey have done lately. AR Effurpont &tan Darb. TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER - 13, 1842 Before proceeding to deal with the arguments ar I statements, put forth on Wednesday by the speakers in favour of a " liberalised" system of education in the schools of the corporation, we must confess that we are not at all disappointed in the gentleman by whom an infraction of the present scriptural system was proposed. Mr. George Hall Lawrence has always appeared to us to possess an unhappy indecision of character, which is calculated to stand seriously in the way of that career of usefulness, for which his talents so well befit him. Surrounded, by family ties and intimacies, with men entertaining principles directly in opposition to those which he professes to entertain himself, his mind is of that plastic order which allows itself to be moulded, unconsciously to its owner, into a shape which, if he could see it, he would spurn as unworthy of him. He stoops to view the world, and to look at principles through the vision of other men. Knowing and valuing the truth, he still coquettes with its opposite; and has imbibed the fatally erro neous notion that right and wrong can be made to meet, in some imaginary midway of expediency or accommodation. The question of education, so much mooted in our community—what is it viewed upon its broad ground ? It is simply this : upon what system of teaching can we most advantageously, and legally, expend the funds devoted by the council to educa tional purposes ? To enable us to reply to this ques tion, go back to the purpose for which we give educa tion at all. We do not seek to make philosophers, or political economists, or chemists, or mathematicians, of the children of our indigent fellow -townsmen ; we do not seek merely to instil into their minds a certain quantity of abstract knowledge; but, emphatically, we seek to render them in after life, by the seeds which we thus sow in. early life, good men, good Christians, and good subjects ! To effect this best object of all education, the system of teaching which we adopt must be one of which religion constitutes a vital por tion. This position Mr. Lawrence fully recognises : nay, it is almost universally recognised. But if there is to be religious teaching, there must be a test. We must have some criterion whereby to distinguish be tween the true and the false, or we may find ourselves engaged in teaching Mahornedanism, the worship of Juggernaut, or the religion of the American Indian, with the funds set apart for educational purposes by a Christian community. Accordingly, we have provided a test, the most universally received which we could provide—viz. the authorised version of the Word of God. What more of latitude, we ask, could be allowed, in devising a system of education which comprises, as an indispensible requisite, religious teaching? Surely none. To the children of dissenters we give teaching in the truths of the Bible, without obtruding upon them the tenets of any particular church. The chil dren of . members of our own persuasion we take to church every Sabbath; the children of dissenters we leave to be taken by their parents to their own place of worship, and exact from those parents a pledge that they will be so taken. Few will deny that, here, we open the door to the greatest number of, those who desire—what alone is worthy of being received—a scriptural education for their children. The Roman Catholics, however, stand aloof, and refuse the boon which we offer them. Whey will not, or cannot—for our present argument it matters not which—accept teaching in the truths of the Bible, unaccompanied by the glossing of their own priests. They cannot read that Bible, or allow their children to read it, even as a school-book ; and are, therefore, excluded—self-ex cluded—from our schools. We deplore this circumstance as heartily, and perhaps more heartily than some who make larger professions. We are more the real friends of our Roman Catholic fellow-townsmen, than all the Blackburns and Rath- - . bones who have philosophised and declaimed in their behalf. We wish to give their children what we deem ;he best gift which we have to offer—the same gift we give to our own children; but BIGOTRY steps in— and surely this is BIGOTRY !—and denounces the gift as an unclean thing. In this state of things Mr. George Hall Lawrence obtrudes upon the Council a proposition which, no doubt, he conscientiously be lieves is to solve the difficulty. Mr. Lawrence propOses that " such a modification be made in the existing rules and regulations as would render the schools more available for the classes of the poor professing different'religious opinions, by allow ing their children the benefit of the secular instruction of the schools, the parties giving an assurance to the Committee that their religious duties should not be neglected." It is argued, "if you cannot induce these children to accept your religious teaching, give them what is the nearest approach to the whole good, which they refwe,—Seeidai the nearest apj whole good t is this, e helieve to he the .\s 7 c doubt much \viictlier it is ; doubt our right to give i utterly deny that it can be given without deteriorating the Va' lue of the whole, which we give to those willing to receive it. Religion; as a portion of education, should be mixed up with it so as to be inseparable from it. It should tem of teaching, and mingle with every atom of the knowledge which we convey. pervade our whok We might patch up, it is true, a thing with a prayer at the beginning, a hymn at the close, and reading, writing, and arithmetic in the middle, and then dock it at both ends for the benefit of those who desire " secular instruction ;" but has such a system any right to be called a system of scriptural education? Certainly not; and we defy Mr. Lawrence or any of his supporters to lay down a system, so divisible into " secular" and " religious," which is anything less than part INFIDEL arid part RELIGIOUS ! In operation the whole scheme, we believe, would be found utterly impracticable; and instead of a concession, only a mockery Upon grounds of expediency, even, the proposition of Mr. Lawrence is indefensible. That gentleman professes, by the sacrifice of a principle, or its sup pression in some cases, to seek peace; to put a stop to the agitation which has for years existed in the Council and the town upon the question of education, and to allay the animosities which that agitation es •cites. But where, we ask, is the hope apparent that such will be the result ? We do not find it in the temper of Mr. Hornby's speech; still less in the ani mus displayed by Mr. Blackburn. These gentlemen seek, for their party,,a position in our schools widely different from that in which the adoption of the pro position of Mr. Lawrence would place them. TheY contend, as a matter of right, for a full share of the education provided, proportioned to their numerical strength in the community; and to enable them to acquire this, they would revert to the late system, or they would secularise the system altogether. Nothing less than this would satisfy them ; and although, for the moment, they might accept the instalment offered them, it would only be to enable them to point to the principle which it would establish, and to sa y—and with justice—" You concede our right to an education which is not an education in the Scriptures as inter preted by the Church of England, and how can you draw the distinction, between our right to that and our right to instruction in the Scriptures as inter preted by ourselves ? You admit that the teaching of religion, at all, is not compulsory upon you; and yet you capriciously deprive our children of a portion of the benefit which is their right, whilst yon are teaching religion to your own." View the whole question as we will, the conviction forces itself upon us, that there is no safe middle path between the system at present established, and such a system as would satisfy the party of Messrs. Blackburn and Hornby. That system, however, it must be evi dent, now, can never be legally carried out. Upon this point, the opinion of the oWn-clerk himself, in whom, at all events, our opponents ought to:place con fidence, is conclusive. The system of the late Edu cation Committee is clearly and directly illegal; and although the Town-clerk was guarded in deciding that the " secular instruction" contended for was illegal, we are satisfied that the spirit of the decisions, which he referred to, is equally opposed to the legality of such teaching. Religious teaching there must be, ill any system of education provided for at the public cost ; religious teaching there must be, to render edu cation a boon worth receiving; and we ask—with con fidence that the judgment of every candid man will be with us—can there be devised any system which satis fies the requirements of the law, which fulfils all the objects which we have in view in giving education at all, and is at the same time more tolerant to those who differ from us upon points of interpretation of the Word of God, than the system established by the pre sent committee ? Let us urge, then, upon those Conservative mem bers of the Council, who have betrayed a leaning towards concession upon this vital point, to re-examine the question intently, before they commit themselves to the ignis fatuus chase which they are urged to enter There never can be a compromise upon this question ; there never ought to be one ! It is an amiable feeling, no doubt, which urges them to hold out every inducement to the children of their poorer brethren to embrace the advantages of education. It is a Christian feeling which teaches them to sympa thise with the deprivation to which they are coerced by their religious belief. But they can never, we feel assured, satisfy their consciences that they are doing a kindness to those children in giving them infidel know ledge—in giving them an education from which the very name of God, and of the Saviour of the World, is to be excluded. They may attempt, indeed, to salve over the feelings of repugnance to such a course which will sting them in their solitary hours, by re ferring to the saving clause in Mr. Lawrence's motion. They may say, it is true, we have consented to bring up these poor children " without God in the world," for a portion of the day; but we have taken security from their parents that religion will be taught them in their own homes—in the wretched cellars and alleys in which they live, surrounded by vice and immorality in all their most loathsome forms. But oh, what a mockery is such a dependance ! Throw away, Gentlemen, this flimsy covering with which you are endeavouring to exclude the light from your eyes ! Cast off the deadening weight of that am bition to stand well with all men, with which you are seeking to stifle in your own hearts the convictions of truth ; and be, upon this great question, at all hazards, and in despite of the sneers of the world, CONSISTENT and MANLY ! We are quite as sorry as the Journal can have been hat it was out of our power, by quoting his "argu aents for the STANDARD," to place both sides of the uestion before our readers ; and also that it was cow ulsory upon us to divide our remarks, in reply to tem, into two portions. The demand upon our space, created by such an arrangement, would have been much too great ; and, moreover, the public do not relish very lengthy articles upon any subject. As we see, there fore, that, without such a course on both sides, our contemporary does not think it is worth while pursuing the controversy, we shall, at present, merely reply to a few portions of our Let week's remarks, in which he has a little misinterpreted us. In the first place, then, we have not, at all, given up the advocacy of a sliding scale; and shall not do so until we are convinced that the present one has failed in its objects, which were, we conceive, to combine a regular trade in corn, with adequate protection to the native grower. We submit that, to some extent, it has been successful already ; but the trial which it has had is scarcely a fair one. When it has failed, after a 'air trial, to produce the results which we anticipated from it, we shall not hesitate to say so. In the second place, we took exception to the Jour nal's entering upon a lengthy argument against a sliding scale, because we conceived that such argument was beside the immediate subject which was proposed for discussion—the mode in which free trade in corn was to operate upon the manufacturer. We may have been wrong in restricting our opponent from entering upon the alleged demerits of a sliding scale. In strict fact, we scarcely did so restrict him; but we were not called upon to enter upcn its defence. If we were successful in showing that his expectations of advantage, and those of his party, from such a change, were fallacious or overstrained, we were abundantly satisfied. And we maintain that we have so succeeded. We have shown that, by the admission of the Journa himself, the sum of benefit to arise is measured by the amount of foreign corn which we shall be able to con sume, and an imaginary power acquired to import regularly as a remittance for our manufactures. In establishing this point, we conceive we have done something for the cause of truth—something to dissi pate the absurdly exaggerated anticipations of free traders ;—for we are satisfied that the disappointment of the fears of the advocates of moderate protection to the agriculturist will not be one-half so great, at the small amount of injury sustained—should such be the result of a free trade in corn—as will be that of the manufacturer, at the small amount of benefit derived by himself. With respect to the ability of the United States to compete in corn-growing with continental nations, the Journal has not satisfied us.
