Vottrp. REMINISCENCE, Red by a remark of my little son, at four years old, — Mamma, I'll say my prayers now, and not keep God Biting any longer for me.' BY THE REV. J. B. M'CREA. (For the Liverpool Standard.) O Lord, dost thou stand at the gate, And patiently sue for admission • - , (1441 ,fie:` Shall mortals permit thee to wait, Whose it is to bestow, not petition • -Assliv.i Shall sinners their hearts not unlock,. 7,7 When thou wouidst with mercy come And wilt thou still graciously knock For entrance at chambers of sin? Lord, put through the lattice thy hand, And open the door of my soul ; Nor like a wayfaring man stand, • Beseeching, with power to control. Lead captive, who king only art, The strong man that keepeth possession ; Assume thou the throne of my heart, And banish the seed of transgression. Come over the threshhold of sin, Nor tarry without any longer ; For cold and ungrateful I've been, Yet thy love than woman's is stronger. Come in, with thy graces, and make My bosom thy place of abidal ; The things of Immanuel take, And be this the day of our bridal. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE PRIVILEGE QUESTION.—TYRANNY OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. (From the Morning Herald of Tuesday.) The House of Commons has, in the plenitude of its wisdom, resolved, that all sheriffs and under sheriffs, " and others," who shall aid Stockdale in carrying on his fresh actions against the printers of the house, shall be deemed guilty of a contempt, and of a violation of the privileges of the house. The sheriffs, under-sheriffs, " and others" alluded to, will, of course, treat with the scorn which it merits this new resolution of the "tyrant majority." The Attorney-General, moreover, moved that the son of Stockdale's attorney, and a clerk of the same gentleman, should, for the offence of serving certain botices on Messrs. Hansard, be, to-night. (Tuesday,) brought to the bar of the house. The motion was carried; and the son and clerk of Mr. Howard will, of course, be committed to Netvgate. Lord Howick remarked that the best mode of sub duing the contumacy of Stockdale and of his attor ney, would be found in adding to the severity of their imprisonment—in debarring these persons, in short, from all intercourse with their friends! The House of Commons is labouring hard to ren der itself utterly odious and despicable. It is gratify ing to reflect, that in the impending struggle, the as serters of "privilege" must, assuredly, be discomfit- . ted. • How pitifully malevolent was the suggestion of Lord . Howick—h ow exqu i s i te l y c h aracter i stic o f t h at f ee bl e and waspish pretender to statesmanship ! Why did : not this magnanimous personage pro Pose, - at once, the commitment of Lord Chief Justice• Denman ? Stockdale and Howard can effect nothing towards , the annoyance of that house, of which Lord Howick is a worthy member, excepting through the agency of the law, and of the oracles of the - law. Why, then, does not Lord Howick attempt openly, and at once, to si lence those oracles ? Sir John Campbell, too, means to commit Mr. Howard's. clerks !- Well, what then ? .Is - he prepared to commit all the clerks in London ? When does he propose that this unseemly ,exhibitiOn on the part of the House of Cominons shall rertniriate ? What, moreover, do Lord John Russell and the Al-: ,t torney-General mean by • the words- ana others," which occur in their resolution of last night ? The reolution is addressed to the "sheriffs, under-she riffs, and others." Does the phrase "others" com prehend the jury ? Does it comprehend the bar ? Does it comprehend the judges ? Sir Edward Sugden asked an explanation on these points from Lord John Russell, but the Colonial Secretary appeared exceed ingly unwilling to grant the required information. The whole affair is infinitely disgusting. Colonel Sibthorp stated that, at a dinner amongst his constitu ents, he proposed the health of the sheriffs, and that the toast was received with three cheers, The-feeling exhibited by the entertainers of the gallant colonel is, we will venture to say, the feeling of universal Eng and. • To men who love our old institutions; if must afford unmixed delight to perceive the democratic branch of. the Legislature covering itself with Contempt. The House of Commons has, for a long time, been, in its collective capacity, a body of revolutionists.. The House of Commons first rose into importance by op posing certain acts of royal tyranny. For a long time past, the tyranny of the house has exceeded any other tyranny on record. The House of Commons has swallowed up all the substantial power that used to re side in the monarchy. The HouSe of Commons has; recently, sought to annihilate the function's of the aris tocratic branch of the Legislature. In every ‘ snovemeot • of the lower house, may be traced a grasping, mono polising, tyrannical spirit. . But the House of Commons,. it: may - be urged, is the custodial. of the rights of the people; and for the main tenance of these rights, the "privilege" claimed is.re quisite." The rights of the people ! Of what rights of the . people has the House of Commons-approved itself the guardian ? The House of Commons is not more hos tile to the Crown and to the House of Lords, than it is to the best rights of the people of England. The House of Commons has, for a quarter of a century, laboured to deprive the industry of England of all protection. The House of Commons has ruthlessly consigned nearly a million of hand-loom weavers to semi-starva tion—has doubled, by the act of 1'319, the power of money over labour—has deprived tens of thousands of labourers of employment, by means of free-trade-- and, then by robbing the \vhole body of the labourers of England of their constitutional rights—rights gua ranteed by the 43d of Elizabeth—has placed in peril the whole of our social fabric ! The rights of the people were never subjected to 'hostility so unrelenting, as that to whi c h they have been exposed on the part of the House of Commons.

For t ea , for cotton, and o f , and f or tobacco, we are now dependent on rival, or on states ; and it much concerns the prosperity of Great hostile Bri tain, in the present condition of the world, to depend a much as possible on her own resources, and on those a s f her colonies, and as little as possible on the continuance of goodwill on the part of foreigners—inasmuch as th e vast majority of the foreigners with whom we deal, look to the subversion of the power of England, as to the con summation of their most dearly-cherished schemes. - ...w► -- PROGRESS OF POPERY IN EDINBURGH.

NATIONAL EDI:CATION—PAPAL INTERFER ENCE. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) There is now raging in the bosom of the Romon Ca tholic Church in Ireland, a controversy formidable and fierce 'enough to terminate in schism, and, if both the parties be in earnest, to eliminate one of the dissentient b o di e s from the orbit in which, hitherto, it has moved round the centre of unity and community of doctrine. The National Board is the bone of contention. SL: teen of th e - TitTtlar Prelate s o f I reland have given inheir adhesion to the plan of NatiOrial tdUcation, as suf4ciently Popish for the purpose—whilst ten o f t h em denounce it as not Popish enou gh by many degrees. At the head of the majority stands Du. MURRAY, 804:-diSant Archbishop of Dublin. Doctor Mac , —ALE the 3oi-disant Archbishop of Tuatn, is the leader of the vigorous min. 4.' ~S. . - ority. It were a matte/ of little avail, in the present state of the question, to enumerate the extent and import ance of the differences between those conflicting bodies. Suffice it to say, that if Doctor MAcHALE, be willing to maintain his own assertions, it is morally impossible that he or his follower can conscientiously remain in commu nion with either the head or any portion of the Church, maintaining opinions and sanctioning practices so diamet rically opposed (as he conceives and states them to be) to either christian verity or the peculiar doctrines and dicipline of the church of Rome. But such an inquiry is now beyond our purpose ; and we turn from it to consider the quarrel as it stands at this moment. It should appear that both parties have appealed to the Porn for his decision on their differences, and each party, in its turn, boasts that his Holiness sanctions its peculiar Views. The Dublin Monitor is the exponent of the murrayvianS; the Journal is the aknowledged organ of the MACHALIANS. In the form er — t h e D u bli n Monitor of Saturday, the lath instant--we find the fol fowing announcement respecting the Papal decision " The Catholic Prelates met in this city on Tuesday last, and on Wednesday the final decision of the Pope arrived, and was made known to them. And what is the Pope's decision ? Exactly what we stated on the 10th of December, 1839, it would be—favourable to the principles of the Education Board. The Pope has rejected Doctor Mac Hale's app eal!— refused to entertain it !—and has affirmed the decision of the majority of the Catholic Prelates, who, in February, 1839, by an overwhelming majority, declared that the Board was entitled to, and did possess, the confidence of the Catholics of Ireland! Thus is the question set at rest, we hope, for ever." Well, what say the MacHalians ? The Freeman of this morning; with reference to the paragraph we have just quoted, thus triumphantly responds : " The foregoing certainly looks exceedinlv imposing ; but the old adage which says one story's good till another is told' never was better exemplified than by the following pithy epistle from the Right Rev, the Lord bishop of Ardagh "'TO THE EDITOR OF TILE FREEMAN. • " Coffey's Hotel, February 16, 1810. " Sin— I have just read, in an evening paper of yester day, an article on the su bject of nationaleucation, in which the following paragraph . occurs The Catholic prelates met -in this city on Tuesday last, and on Wednesday the final decision of the Pope arrived, and was made known to them.' " In order that no one may be misled by the above as sertion, I beg leave to make known, through the columns of your paper, that no decision of the Pope relative to the sys tem of national education has been communicated to the assembled prelates; and that, on the contrary, I have myself this da2oreceived an official letter from Rome, stating that the authorities were resolved not to enter on the consider ation of this important question until after the arrival of our deputy, who, Up to the date of the letter received this morn ing, had not reached Rome. " I have the hononr to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " 0 W. HIGGINS. '" Thus stands the quarrel—involving either party in he resy and schism, as the POPE may decide—at the present juncture ; and a very pretty quarrel it is. But not for this purpose do we advert to it. Our object in calling attention to it is to impress upon the public mind the fact, that a foreign authority assumes the right to interfere with the domestic concerns of this country—.that there exists in.lreland a body, which, disunited in itself upon principles of 'detail, is united in its acknowledgment of the Papal authority to legislate for the national education of her Britannic MAJESTY'S subjects ; and that whatever way the question be decided, the decision stamps the future education of Ireland to be, and to continue, Papis . tical. For, if the POPE decide against the Board, it will follow that the system advocated by Mac Hale (which is exclusively and professedly Popish,) must be adopted in the schools for the population ; whereas, on the other hand, should his Holiness decide for the Board, his fiat will be the acknowledgment, that the system of the Board is sufficient in all the essentials of a Papistical education. We do not deny the right or the duty of the Roman Catholic Prelates to seek by all means strictly national, and independent of foreign influence, that such should be the case. Nay, considering the polity of the Church. of Rome, it is natural her prelates should seek both at.horne: and abroad, by foreign as well as by national means—per fas et nefas—the accomplishment of their peculiar views. But we do not see why—(nay, in these very circumstan ces we see the reason why they should not)—this Pro testant state and its houses of legislature should surrender the national education to the hands of a foreign power, and the officials which in this country acknowledge and obey its sovereignty. If the POPE may legisiate for the edu cation of the country, he may surely direct its religion. If me permit him the one power, how shall we restrain him from the other ? And if in spirituals he gain the as cendant, it is little matter in what hands the temporal power may appear to reside, for virtually it will rest in his. The union of church and state will be that of the British Monarchy with the Church of Rome. Whether this conclusion be pushing the argument to an extreme at which it is not likely to arrive, or whether it be but the anticipation of what must happen if not timely prevented, is what we shall not determine. This we know, that in times when Popery was the sole dominant church, ere the abuses of her pOwer had rendered the Reforma. tion inevitable, neither Englishmen nor Irishmen would have tolerated this foreign meddling with their domestic concerns ; and a new statute of Premunire would have asserted their national independence, had the Papacy of the day presumed to dictate to them in what manner their children shnuld be educated. . But, .as we have often said, there is nothing national in the character of Irish Popery. There is plenty of an fit - Ai-1300i Spirit, which those who entertain it misrake for independence . and patriotism: Mit set Ireland adrift 4p,triprrinfi,nritthe next day - we s h ou ld - find her sons dashing her to some foreign craft or other, and shouting vivai for liberty in the wake of her new Papistical mistress. It is eloquently observed by some writer, that memory has rich gems of pleasure that she can call up to gladden the heart evheretime ha's furrowed the cheek, and sprinkled the sorrows of age upon the honoured head. THE 'NARAS, A NEW FRUIT.— The 'naras was grow ing on little knolls of sand ; the bushes were about four or five feet high, without leaves, and with opposite thorns on the ligbtand dark - green striped branches. The fruit has a coreaceous rind, rough with prickles, is twice the size of an orange, or fifteen or eighteen inches in circumference, and inside it resembles a melon as to seed and to pulp. I seized a half-ripe one, and sucked it eagerly for the moisture it con tained ; and it burned my tongue and palate exceedingly, which does not happen when this mos t va l ua bl e f ru i t i s ripe— it has then a luscious. subacid taste. Some plants of 'naras are now growing in England (March, 1838), from seeds which I brought home : they are a foot high, and beginning to branch, having two thorns at each articulation, and a stipule scarcely to be called a leaf between them, on the axis of which is a bud, but no leaves.—Alexander's Expedi tion of Discovery. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND SIR JAMES IVIACDON. ELL.—A friend has related to us an anecdote illustrative not only of the high opinion entertained by his Grace of this dis tinguished general, but of the _delicate generosity displayed by Sir James to a non-commissioned officer of his regiment. Some three years ago, the Duke of Wellington was waited upon at Apsley House by two gentlemen, who announced to him that, as executors of the will of a deceased friend of ec centric habits, who had left £5OO to the bravest man in the British army, they called for the purpose of handing to his Grace a check for that amount ;. being fully satisfied, that in so doing they should religiously fulfil the duty imposed on them by the testator. The Duke thanked them for the com pliment they had paid him, bat resolutely declined to receive the money ; alleging, that the British army contained many as brave men as himself. After several pressing remonstran 0, his Grace's •Yisitors• earnestly requested that be would consent to become arbritrat_or in. the matter, and indicate the Individinil siTiviniziaiei s beqeeet ,should be - conferred. , To this appeallie -- i&eded c.earo - Misirig,in the Course of two or three days, to give the mater his consideration, and report to. them the; remit. At the appointed time they again made t.h.eir appearance at Apsiey House. The Duke received_them with great courtesy ; but assured them, that lie had found the task a great deal more difficult than he had anticipated. After enumerating to them the various battles in which he had beers engaged, and some of the most striking feats of heroism he. had witnessed, lie suggested, that if they had no objection, he would make hii selection from the battle of Waterloo, ; that being the last, the greatest, and most important, action of the war. This point being adjusted, his Grace proceeded to state, that Hugueruont having been the key to his entire po sition, and that post having been defended not only with the most complete success, but with the most chivalrous bravery, be Major General Sir James Macdonell, who commanded there, he could point out no one so fully entitled to the legacy as that officer. The executors repaired accordingly to Sir .lames Macdonell, and having acquainted him with the de gsulsrlisTeodf a th a e ,a D rk ul! o e r o is f is W o c i ll .a i e n e g , t s o a n `Wellington, tendered him the mone y ..

Zairian, ty, 'l , lOl, HA TRADE WITH CHINA. An important fact, connected with the state of our relations with China, is communicated from the United States. It is that the merchants at Canton are dis posed to assist with those of Great Britain in obtain ing from the government of China treaties of com merce, by, which the trade of both with the latter may be based on a solid and satisfactory foundation. A memorial had been presented to Congress for. the in terference of the Government of America in aid of the attempt which is about to be made by Great Britain to effect this desirable object. The following is a detail of what has taken place in America on this subject. It is from a communication dated Washington, 24th ultimo : " Several of our merchants at Canton interested in the China trade have memorialised Congress, setting forth the recent proceedings at Canton, and soliciting a co-operation by the Government of the United States with that of Great Britain, in establishing commercial relations with China on a safe and honourable footing, and especially in obtaining the following concessions : " Permission for foreign envoys to reside near the court of Canton on the terms and with all the privileges accorded at other courts, through whom appeal may be made to the Imperial Government in cases of difficulty with the local authorities in the prosecution of our commercial pursuits. " Second—The promulgation of a fixed tariff of duties on articles both of import and export, from which no deviation shall be allowed on any pretenCe whatever. " Third—A System of bonding warehouses, or some regu lations permitting the transhipment of goods, as may be de sirable to re-export for the market in China. " Fourth—Vie liberty of trading to other port or ports in China than that of Canton. " Fifth—Compensation for the losses caused by the stop page of the whole legal trade of the port, and the consequent detention of vessels and property, with a guarantee against the recurrence of similar arbitrary acts, and security for the free egress from Canton and other ports of all parties not guilty of crime or civil offences at any and at all times. " Sixth—That until the Chinese laws are distinctly made known and recognised, the punishment of wrongs committed by foreigners upon the Chinese or others shall not be greater than is applicable to the like offence by the laws of the Uni ted States or England, nor shall any punishment be. inflicted by the Chinese authorities upon any foreigner until the guilt of the party shall have been fully and clearly proved. " The memorialists (Americans) avow their opinion that the course pursued by the Chinese commissioner was unjust, and no better than robbery ; that if satisfaction is not yielded to the demand of the Britis Government, a blockade of the chief ports and rivers of China ought to be resorted to, and that the appearance of a naval force from England, the Uni ted States, and France , on the coast of China, would, with out bloodshed, obtain from the Chinese Government such acknowledgments and treaties as would place the foreign commerce upon a safe and advantageous footing. " Thememorialists further ask that should the Government of the United States determine not to interpose in the affairs of American and British citizens in Canton, then they ask for the appointment of an agent or commissioner to reside at Canton with a sufficient naval force to protect American com merce and the persons of American citizens from being held responsible for the acts of lawless traders and for the hostile operations of a foreign fleet, or at least to prevent any paper blockade from interfering with their commerce and also to secure u partidipation in such priviieges as may be granted by the Chinese to other powers." CORN LAWS. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) In my last letter I charged upon the anti-corn law orators this gross absurdity—that " they assumed their conclusions in order to prove their principles." If their conclusions were right it would be less matter, but they assume that which I totally deny, and which all their opponents deny, merely for the purpose of deluding their followers. For example—they most unblushingly assume that the corn laws were enacted merely for the benefit of the landlords. Now the author of the " Claims of the Landed Interests" dis-. tinctly denies such to be the case, and proves, by an analy- - sis of the respective contributions made by the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural classes, towards the welfare and prosperity of the community at large, that agricultural protection wailer Me good of the public, and not for tht benefit of landed proprietors alone. If the anti-corn.. law orators deny the truth of this allegation, lej ',ll:ea disimoii the arguments of thewrzter:in vie - stiOn I but this has never been done. yet, min , ovsr.will be done in my .mi n d ; eithei them or anylto . dy• % e.ise. Again—the an ti- corn -l aw ora t ors assert . that . the corn laws keep p r i ces hi g h, a lth oug h i t i s notorious tne.prioea - have-been . for many years under the average of the time . the said laws were enacted ; whilst others of, their partisans,. taunted with this fact, which cannot be denied, turn round on their opponents, and say, if these cores laws don't ! keep up the price of-corn, what objection can you hav e to their being abolished? For an answer to this question, I again refer to the writer I have already alluded to, who satisfactorily proves this paradox, and shows how a.free. trade in corn would effectually ruin the British farmer, although a protecting duty cannot screen him from the effects of home competition and abundant har vests. But this is not all--the same parties assume that if we take foreign corn free, the continental states will take our manufactures free, and two of the speakers at the Manchester dinner boldly asserted that Dr. Bowring had been charged with such a declaration—but when-Dr. Bowring gets up what does he say ? Why, he says nothing, qf the kiwi. He does .not say even anything like it, and the matterremains ex actly as it was before—a , mere . assertion of interested parties, unsupported by any official declarations-of the kind whatever, as far as the public are yet infoemedupon.the subject. .Then, if we appeal to facts, what do we see ? . Why this—that since we have taken their corn free, they hale taken less of our goods than ever; and by referring to Porter's Tables it will be seen that in the years /832, 1833, and 1834, when we took none of their corn they took mars of our manufactures than ever they have taken since, when we have taken corn to the amount of many millions sterling. In reality we are now suffering, not from the effects of agricultural protection, but from the effects_of .. net having agricultural protection enough. Had we had protection for other agricultural' koduce;'flax and hemp, tallow and butter, clover and rapc= , s'ectl, so Much land would not have been turned to the growth of wheat; and, in that case, the price of that article would not have fallen so low as to put a stop to its cultivation ; and we are now suffering from the effect of bad se:wons - superinduced upon a short ' quantity sown, owing to the said low prices. I cannot speak with patience of the mischievous policy at pre 'sent fashionable. Is not the riches of a country the produce of its soil ? Can an; sane man deny this position ? And is it not admitted and acted on when we look back and see what pains were formerly taken to naturaliNe tho mnlbel'ry and the ' silk-worm, and how much is now done to promote the growth of our own tea in our own territories in India; and if our millions of waste acres at home could be made to grow cotton wool, what toil and trouble we should be at to introduce the plant ! What companies would be formed to cultivate it ! What premiums would be offered for successful exertion! What exemptions from rates and tithes and taxes to guard the speculators against loss ! What a rise there would be in three millions of acres of reclaimable land if these specula tions succeeded. But let me ask, is corn which they will grow, a less valuable product than cotton, which they will not And are we to let these acres remain waste, and as many more remain half-cultivated, which would produce more wheat than ever we should be able to consume, and, at the same time, spend our revenues in expatriating the very people who are necessary to their cultivation. The whole is anomlapus and inconsistent, but the real fact is, we are under the government of non who are ignorant of the true inter ests of the nation, and have not ability or inclination to learn them. But I have already gone beyond the botinds of a let ter, and I therefore conclude. MORAL HARMONY. (From the Watchman.) There is a cottage, and the children are playing around it.

He declaims fluently concerning political rights and moral orgaOisation, and talks of signing the people's charter. " What is the 'charter ?" - asks a little boy, as he munches his brown bread and butter. And thatman seeks oftentimes the happy house. And he gains the affections of the simple village maiden. Why should she doubt? He was her father's friend. The days . come when he speaks of marriage, but he has conscientious objections to bands. Why? He is a philosopher. He has exploded that ancient folly, the Church of England. He believes in no God—not be ! God, he maintains, is the invention of the priest ! The philosopher would burn the cross of Christ for firewood. " Do not marry him," whispers the conscience of his be trothed. " I love him," replies her inclination. Conscience fails. The girl forgets her mother's remon strances, and goes forth into the world with him to whom she has trusted her guileless heart. They arrive at-. They are united at the Hail of Science, on the principles of social harmony. Ten mouths pass away with the usual alternations of life. And then there seemed a probability that the village girl would become a mother. " How tiresome !" said her reputed husband, as he took the last shilling from her pocket during her calm sleep, and escaped from their little house, two hours before day light. 'She laid the tea-things for him as usual in the evening, but he came hot.

Tire old magistrate wept as he told her how she had been de ceived. The cold-hearted workhouse received her, and the paupers looked bitterly askance as they saw there was no marriage ring on her finger. Her child was born, forlorn and fatherless—the weakly offspring of the broken hearted. There is a mad-house at D—. There is there the wreck of a once beautiful form. The symmetry of the features re mains, but the lustre of reason has paled and expired. She moans and walks alone. The keeper will tell you that she. is near the grave. \Vito Is SHE? WHo IS sHE?

ELOPEMENT.—On Sunday night, the 2d inst., a lass, named Judy Bourke, eloped with a gallant gay Lothario, the name of Philip Walsh, of Ballinacooly, near Piltown ; the former taking with her £3BO, which had been collected as county cess by her brother. The loving pair evaded the vigilance of the police until Friday night last, when they were arrested by Constable ArCarthy and party , of the P a lenbower station, at a relative's house.

There is no subject of more momentous interest to every civilized nation, than an inquiry into the present position qf England ; there is no topic of higher importance (socially speaking) to the whole family of man, than an endeavour to ascertain the future prospects of England.. The first branch of inquiry would involve an investigation of proximate and remote causes of almost indefinite extent, end, on this oc casion, an exposition of results is all that can be expected, reserving for a subsequent period, more minute, and, perhaps, more satisfactory details. One of theinost prevalent existing opinions is, that land has witnessed the acme of her power, and, having passed the meridian, now hastens to decay. This inference is er roneously drawn, from observing, Ist, that individuals of the animal and vegetable kingdoms have their periods of youth, age, and death.; * and, 2d,.that all the great nations of ,anti quity have perished, leaving scarcely a vestige of their name ; the antiquary with difficulty tracing the spot on which the metropolitan cities of vast empires once stood'. But the inference is unsubstantiated in its premises, and not fairly supported in its conclusions. Exa m i ne one o f the primeval forests of America—it has existed there for ages ; its limits, defined from the adjacent prairie by a broad and clear savanna, on which not a shrub is seen. True, the in• dividual trees of the forest perish, but their place is imme diately filled up ; ages roll on—tree succeeds to tree—the forest never becomes the prairie—and at the end of centuries is found in all its beauty, denseness, and vigour. The same principle is applicable to herds of animals, and to congregated masses of our fellow-creatures. Thus, also, is it with a na tion : individuals die—the nation lives, and will continue to flourish for ages, so long as the elements of moral disease are subdued by virtue. The analogy, therefore, between the existence of an individual of a species, and the aggregate of a nation, is incorrect; so also is the conclusion drawn from the supposed analogy. Empires, kingdoms, and republics have risen from infancy to maturity, and. then perished. No form of government. whether that of absolutism or democracy, has been found sufficient to save a nation from final extinction ; the seeds of dissolution were sown at birth, and were evolved when the physical and intellectual structure began to wane. Babylon and Nineveh—Egypt and Jerusalem—Tyre and Carthage— Athens and Rome—have all in succession risen from insig nificance to power, and then vanished like the " baseless fabric of a vision," leaving scarcely a" wreck behind." But because these memorials and records of mere human great ness are before us, does it necessarily follow that all nations must have their rise and fall? Sacred 'Writ most fully in forms us of the cause of the destruction of kingdonis,—be cause the people forsook the worship of the only true God, became idolaters, and were consequently destroyed by the very effect of their own vices and crimes. If Jerusalem, once the ark of a pure religion on earth, was destroyed, as oft fore told by the prophets, when the measure of its iniquity was full, is it reasonable to infer that any heathen nation could long uphold mere temporal power ? Rome, the mistress of the world, debased by the grossest idolatry, demoralized by the most fearful extent of slavery, corrupted by wealth, de void of even the semblance of morality,—could no more ex pect perpetuity, than that city which was once the temple of the chosen people of heaven. As a wicked man is frequently cut short in his career of crime, so was the fall of Jerusalem and of Rome ; both were alike the persecutors of Christianity and the enemies of truth. The downfall of Jerusalem was essential to the spread of moral freedom ; that of Rome, to the extension of civil li- berty. Natural causes, therefore, produce natural effects, as regards a man or a nation; and when we find a nation running on in a career of vice and infidelity, we can no more be surprised at its destruction, than at the dcath of a man who has drunk deep of the cup of sin and wickedness. Let as examine, if there be any resemblance between Rome and Britain. The one a constitutional free state—the other a military. .empire, where the sovereign power was sold to the highest bidder ;—the one a nation where all are personally free—the other, where nine-tenths of the people were bonds men, serfs, and slaves ;—the one an insular-maritime power, whose colonial possessions serve to augment its resources, and to increase its oceanic supremacy—the other a territorial state, whose very extension of dominion served but to weaken its strength, and to diminish its capability for defence ;—the one enjoying all the arts and elegaucies which adorn and re fine social life, traversing land and sea with a celerity and certainty hitherto unknown, and using its wealth in the con struction of immense works, which tend to benefit mankind —the other restricted chiefly in its mental efforts to archi tecture. and the showy and specious arts, making war its ;chief object; and destitute of that extraordinary instrument for the .extension of knowledge—the press. Finally—the one a Christian, the other a Heathen people. In a future number, we shall endeavour to enter more at length into this important question, because no man of a re flective mind would struggle to advance and elevate his country, if he thought . that he were hastening the period of its ultimate - declension and death. The gloi'y of a nation would then be similar to the fleeting fame of a selfish indivi dual, both transient—useless to their possessors, and inca pable of transmission to posterity. He who loves his country for the sake of the good which she accomplishes, and by rea son of her Christian principles, will not, cannot, think that the meridian of her existence is passed, while there is aught of good to be fulfilled, and-while Christianity exists on earth. Most pertain is it, that a nation ivithopt true religion, is like a house bruit on the sand, which the . winds and waves de stroy 3 s and if England be that houSe constructed on a rock— whioh;Revelation predicts—then mayshe defy the tempest, and•the.not less sure but more insidious effects of time. • We may now - briefly advert to the present state of the fish empire. It is certainly one of peril, and fraught With imminent danger.; but still not without a bright and clear vista.. The domestic condition of England, Ireland, and Scotland - hetokens..the struggles of an industrious people to theins:dves from poverty, and to provide for those who are to succeed • them. \i 'e behold a denser population in pro portion to. the soil, than is to be found in the aggregate in any other nation ; in some parts 300 mouths to ; the square .mile. We see that soil entirely pre-occupied, and :brought to a high, pitch of cultivation lay the accumulated capital of centurif.s t yet year by year less capable of producing an ade quate supply of food, to meet the demands of a rapidly aug menting _population. Steam-machinery--that efficient in strument for raising man from the condition of a mere beast of burden—while it lowers the price of labour, lessens -the number of,' labourers required and .if brought successfully into use in' agriculture, it will tend still more to cause the evils of a redundant population to be more and more severely 'felt. With this reduction in the means of employment, and in the wages of industry, we find an increasing aptitude for intellectual and social enjoyments, and an -unwillingness to submit to physical suffering and privations, which were here tofore silently borne. The recent extension of political rights has left a large mass of the people dissatisfied, because they find themselves pre cluded from the exercise of thosc immunities to which they look—go a means to an end---namely, the benefitting of their social condition. Extreme democratic opinions are, there fore, rashly advocated, and the balance of a constitution, which it has been the efforts of ages to keep equipoised, is in danger of final overthrow ; the sword of physical power being, in fact, ready to be cast into the scale : while educa tion, in itself a blessing it' accompanied with religious instruc tion, will but lead to further desire for change, unless food, raiment, and an abundance of all the necessaries of life, be come easier and easier of attainment. Let us now glance at the condition of the transmarine provinces of the empire : where do we find peace and con tentment ? It was the sarcastic remark of a nobleman who filled, within the last few years, the office of Secretary of State for the Colonies, that the " oily Colony in tranquillity was Heligoland.'" We pass without comment the questions of the state of Canada—of the West Indies—the East Indies, &c., they are well deserving of the most serious attention, and calculated to excite the most anxious solicitude ; but we do not desire to make such topics mere party questions, and• our future numbers will oontain ample discussions respecting their political and social wants. The condition of our Colon ial possessions, as well as that of our domestic state, is not the result merely of yesterday, but the sequence of causes, some of which are of long standing, and the effects of which though often predicted. have always been neglected. The unfriendly bearing of our foreign relations, is what may naturally be expected from rivals jealous of our political power—thirsting for our territorial wealth, and desirons of enrichini themselves at our exnPnse. There is not a king 11Qm urope, nor a republic in America, in actual friendly alliance with us ; and were a general war to occur, England would not possess an ally, unless self-interest prompted a co-operation. Many, indeed, of the continental nations would rejoice in the destruction of the British Empire, as if they expected to rise on its ruins. In the midst of these surrounding perils, we see no efforts made by genius and wisdom, to avert impending evils ; tem porary expedients are resorted to, and the energy and abilities of the country are wasted on acrimonious strife, and directed to no grand or definite principle for the preservation of the social edifice, and the maintenance of the integrity of the empire. Yet, however gloomy may be the present, there is no real cause of alarm for the future; from the very nettle danger, we may pluck the flower safety ; and out of the destructive elements around, we may gather the means of advancing, se curing, and establishing our power for ages. It is true that we are endeavouring to pay in gold, at £3. 17s. 10-.ld. an ounce, a debt of £800,000,000. contracted in a depreciated paper currency ; and that £30,000,000. of annual taxes are required to pay simply the interest of that debt, without the accumulation of any sinking-fund towards its final liquida tion. But the property in the United Kingdom is almost incalculable. That of land alone is estimated at two thous and millions sterling ! England is not, therefore, insolvent ; and whenever an able financier chooses to grapple with this vital subject, there are ample means for its adjustment. Of the 28,000,000 inhabitants in the United Kingdom, nearly 20,000,000 are unfortunately living from " hand to mouth," by precarious labour, and scantily supplied with the necessaries of life. Yet this very abundance of labour may be rendered of the utmost value, was there perfect freedom of commerce, and no monopoly of the money phich legiti mately represents trade ; in other words, were there equal laws of freedom for the transfer of commodities, and of their representative value. The great reform is now in process of accomplishment by the joint-stock .sy*tem• of banking, by _weans of which, if gradually and cautiously brought into - operation, trade will be saved from future panics, and the country fr_om ruinous vicissitudes in, its monetary affairs. Thus, steadiness of employment, and remunerative prices, will raise the value of property, and spread plenty throughout the land ; and when 20,000,000 of now half-fed, ill-clad, and imperfectly educated beings shall have been raised in the social scale, we shall daily find fresh sources of employment, and means will be multiplied for deriving the full benefits of the industry of intelligent, and morally disposed millions. (To be continued.) * " The world, like the individual, flourishes in youth, rises to strength in manhood, falls into decay in age ; and the ruins of an empire are like the decrepit frame of an indivi dual, except that they have some tints of beauty which na ture bestows on them."—Consolations in Travel.

" Our correspondent at Vienna," says the Journal de FranVort, " informs us that another bond is about to be added to those which tie the ducal family of Saxe Coburg Gotha and the reigning family of France, by the marriage of Prince Augustus Louis Victor, a captain of cavalry in the Austrian service, with her Royal Highness the Princess Clementine.

The busi ness done since last week has been large, and the market tolerably steady without any material change in prices. The import of the week amounts to 14,891 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 18. (From. the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) With the exception of Oatmeal, the imports from Ireland, coast ways, and from Foreign ports, have been very small since last Tuesday, and during the past week the demand has been very moderate for every article in the trade, but at fully the price last noted. . The only alteration in the duties on Foreign Grain since Friday last, is an increase of Is 6d per quarter on ° Beans and Peas; a few thousand barrels of American Flour have been sold on the passage at 30s per barrel, and small parcels in bond here at 30s 6d to 31s, Grain in bond sells only as if free, allowing the duties. At this day's market there was a very moderate demand for every article in the trade, but at fully the prices of last Tuesday, and in some few instances for good sweet red Foreign Wheat an advance of 2d per 7olbs was obtained.
