ottrp. TO All. S. Solgo--" Oh, wilt thou think on me sometimes," &c. &c. Oh, meet me once, but once again, Where oft before we've met ; Oh, let me not now plead in vain, By all I 'd fain forget. Oh, meet me once, but once again, In kindness then we 'II part ; Yet tell me why no more I claim An interest in thy heart. Oh, meet me once, but once again, Then set my doubts at rest, And tell me how I too may gain Peace for my throbbing breast. Oh, show me how I may forget, As thou so soon bast done, The happy time when first we ►net, And my poor heart was won. Oh, meet me once, but once again— Oh, meet me. I implore ; Thy absence only makes the chain To gall thy captive more. Thy coldness cannot blight my love, As thou wouldst seem to think ; My constant thoughts of thee but prove Its firmness will not shrink. I would that thou couldst love me more, Or I had loved thee less ; Thy coldness then I 'd ne'er deplore, Nor seek for greater bliss. Then meet me once, yet once again, And then declare my doom ; Let thine own lips-the cause proclaim, Why thou art chang'd so soon. Hope-street. LITERARY NOTICES.

Painter. burgh : William Blackwood and Sons. t ••• , j . , t 7 :?• •• ;ri •. 4 . • • - • , • P• I• P; , V Y., The British and Foreign Review; or European Quarterly Journal. No. 20. London : R. and J. E. Taylor, Red Lion-court, Fleet-street. This number opens with a masterly article on " Our Re lations with China, and the Opium Question." Some of its views, however, appear to us too favourable towards the pre sent degraded crew in office. The writer has evidently a leaning towards Whiggery, he would not denounce Sir James Graham's motion as factious and unwarrantable. The article on " Belgian Literature" displays considerable his torical research. The account of " Lapland and the Lap landers" is exceedingly interesting, and furnishes us with many curious particulars respecting the habits and customs of the inhabitants of that inhospitable region. We cannot avoid expressing our utter repugnance to the opinions in sinuated in the article on " Niebuhr's Life and Opinions." The Neologian, half-infidel sentiments of Niebuhr have done much harm. The less that is known of his works in England the better. There are many valuable truths and important suggestions in the remarks on " The Progress and Prospects of the Self-supporting Emigration System." The analysis of " Tocqueville on Democracy" is a very able article. The re maining articles are " The Recent Occurrences in Cracow," " Pulpit Eloquence in America," and " Austria in Italy," the last of which possesses much interest. Blackwood's Magazine, June, 1840. Edinburgh : W. The first article in the present number is an elaborate and powerfully written article on " The Opium and the China Question," in which this delicate and difficult subject is tem perately and ably discussed. This topic is also handled with much judgment in a " Postscript," written in consequence of the speech of the Duke of Wellington on this question. The writer's opinions are concurrent with those of the noble Duke. The story of " Carlo Sebastian, the Aid-de-camp" is brought to a happy conclusion. The continuation of " Ten Thousand a Year" possesses an absorbing degree of interest. The close of the trial is extremely well wrought out, and winds up the feelings to an almost painful degree of excitement. " Wild Oats—a new Species," contains many valuable truths. We especially recommend to the notice of our readers the excellent article on " The Progress of Pro testantism in France." The information which it embodies will be new to most of them. "My Old School" is a well written sketch. The poetical contributions in this number possess a very high degree of merit. The essay on " Per sonification" displays great originality of thought. On the Whole, this is one of the best numbers of Blackwood, both as to the variety and the excellence of its articles, that we have ever perused. Fraser's Magazine. June, 1840. London; James Fraser, This number commences with an elaborate and well reasoned article on " Milman's History of Christianity." The writer is exceedingly severe in his criticisms, but not more so, in our opinion, than the occasion justifies. He very justly remarks that the above work " in style, in tone, and in method, is stamped with the Gibbon mark." The account of " Modern Greece" embraces much that is at once novel and interesting. The writer is evidently a man of accurate observation. The article on " Eloquence" displays a sound judgment and great power of discrimination. " A Shabby Genteel Story" is amusingly rich in its humour. We promise ourselves many a hearty laugh from the sequel of this tale. " Woman and the Social System" is a splendid article, and one which, for the sake of the salutary truths which it contains, ought to be most extensively circulated. The " Extracts from my Journal between Chili and Jamaica" furnish us with some very interesting and authentic particu lars respecting the state of South America. The " Pictorial Rhapsody of Michael Angelo Titmarsh" abounds in quaint humour. The able examination of Lord Stanley's bill de serves a careful perusal. It forms a complete resume of the whole subject. Dublin University Magazine. June, 1840. Dublin : W We have seldom opened a more attractive number of this excellent magazine than the one before us. The first article to which we instinctively turned was the continuation of the laughable adventures of " Charles O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon." The incidents related in the four last chapters are of the most mirth-provoking character. The remarks on "The Irish Municipal Reform, and Lord Stanley's Regis tration Bills" are highly pertinent and instructive. The " Portrait Gallery" contains a capital likeness and a well written memoir of Sir Philip Crampton, the Irish Surgeon- General. The facts disclosed in Dr. Walsh's paper on " Our Fellow Lodgers" are of the most startling and extraor dinary character. There arc some beautiful specimens of poetry in the " Stray Leaflets from the German Oak." The concluding part of the memoir of Swift has afforded us a rich treat. " Romish misquotation exposed" is a slashing article, giving us but a very indifferent opinion of Father Maguire's honesty. " Birch's Faust," Rough notes on a Ride from the East," and " The Pope's Bull," are all well written articles, ant! worthy of the character of this periodical. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine, June, 1810. Edinburgh : V This number opens with an exquisite sketch, under the title of " The Green Lane," in which the exclusive natural beauties of Old England are graphically and eloquently de- ' picted. The " Sketches of Life and Manners, from the Autobiography of an English Opium Eater," appear to be as interesting as ever, front the cursory perusal which we have been enabled to bestow upon them. They abound with beautiful imagery. The " Memoirs of Jeremy Bentham" contain some curious anecdotes, as do also the " Memoirs of Sir Samuel Ron►illy ;" but both these articles are pervaded by a spirit of democratic philosophisin against which we must enter our protest. "Isit a Revolt or a Revolution?" breathes a revolutionary spirit throughout. It is the produc tion of a political dreamer, whose idol is " change," whether for good or for ctil it is immaterial. The review of Lady Morgan's new work, " Woman and her Master," is very ably executed, though we cannot assent to all the views of the writer. He is too much of a Benthamite for our taste. " The Whig and Tory Veto Measures" will be chiefly inter esting to our friends of the Church of Scotland. The mis cellaneous contents of Tail's Magazine are highly interesting. _ . The Churchman. June, 1840. London: W. E. Painter, 342, Strand. This is an excellent number. The introductory article on " Prejudice" is calculated to effect much good. It has been very seasonably introduced. The remarks on " The Charac ter of Stephen Gardiner" are extremely curious ; but we think that they are much too favourable to that prelate. The continuation of •` Continental Literature" contains some striking and original observations on the works of Bouterwek. " The only Daughter".is an affecting narrative, and might be converted into an excellent tract. " Popular Superstitions" promises to be a very interesting, series. Under the head of " Divines of the Romish Church" we have some pertinent remarks on the eloquence of Bossuet. The casuistical cases answered by the editor of the Churchman will probably set many a troubled mind at rest. The Village Churchman. Jnne, 1840. London : W. E We are always glad to receive this little publication. It breathes a truly_ piou.4 and catholic spirit in every article. The confirmation of " The Pious Churchman's Sunday," in the number before ❑s, must do much good, if carefully perused. The article on " Popular Objections to an Esta blished Church" is cell written, and furnishes satisfactory replies to the most prevalent of those objections. " Hints on Popery" are also good. The aecouPt of the " Church of England Societies," the " Village Churchman's Sab bath Meditations," and the miscellaneous articles in this ex cellent periodical are .well adapted for popular perusal. The New Statistical Account of Scotland. No. 26. Edin- The mass of information respecting the antiquities, topo graphy, natural history, statistics, parochial economy, agri culture, &c., of Scotland, which has been collected together in this work is truly a.stonishing. We cannot avoid once more expressing a wish that we possessed such a work de scriptive of England and Wales. The part before us con tains a beautifully engraved map of A rgyleshire, and a copious description of the county of Lanark, including the several parishes of Carmichael, Pettinain, Carstairs, Carluke, mumsock, Cam 3usnethan, Bertram Shotts, Old or West Monkland, Govan, Dalserf, and Botherell. Parliamentary Speeches. Session, 1840. Part 2. London : W. E. Painter, 342, Strand. Mr. Painter deserves the thanks of every conservative for his spirited undertaking in thus republishing the most cele brated speeches in parliament, in a mode, and at a price, which places them within the reach of the humblest indi vidual. The speeches contain intrinsic evidence of a careful revision. Any person sending a fourpenny piece, in a pre paid letter, may have any of the speeches forwarded in return. This is a great advantage, of which, we trust, our country men will extensively avail themselves. The present part con tains the speeches of the Bishop of Exeter on the " Progress of Socialism," those of Mr. Hume, Mr. Liddell, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Goulburn, Col. Sibthorpe. Sir James Graham, and Sir Robert Peel, on the " Provisional Grant for Prince Albert, and those of Mr. Herries and Mr. Goulburn, on the " Financial State of the Country." Party Politics and Political Prospects. A Letter to the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M.P. London : W. E. Painter. This pamphlet contains an able and eloquent review of the policy pursued by the two great contending parties in parliament—the one, comprising her Majesty's ministers ; the other, the great Conservative party opposed to them. The author has carefully noted down the progress and fall of the Whig party, on the one hand, and the progress and rise of the Conservatives, on the other ; and concludes with some very sensible practical suggestions, which merit the at tention of every true patriot. Brother Jonathan, or " The Smartest Nation in all erect. tion." Edited by Paul Patterson. Illustrated by Robert Cruikshank. Nos. 1 and 2. London : Hugh Cunning. ham, 1, St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar-square. This is another capital serial work after the Pickwick school. Looking at the rich humour which pervades the numbers before us, and the attractive adjunct of the beauti ful coloured aquatint engravings, we have no hesitation in pronouncing Brother Jonathan a " decided hit." It affords some very amusing pictures of American habits, fashions, manners, and morals, which appear to be sketched with fi delity. The descriptions of "Liberty Hall" and of "The Duel" are excellent. If the sequel of this work should con tinue to sustain the same character as the numbers before us, in point of amusing delineation of character, it cannot fail to become exceedingly popular. The Illustrated Shakspere. Revised from the best Autho rities, with Annotations and Introductory Remarks on the Plays. Illustrated with nearly One Thousand Engrav ings on Wood. Parts 13 and 14 London : R. Tyas. 8, Pa ternoster-row. We have already expressed our warm approbation of the plan and execution of this admired edition. The illustra tions continue to be as attractive as ever. The numbers be fore us contain Timon of Athens and Hamlet, the annota tions on the former of which are exceedingly interesting. No Englishman, who feels any pride in the literary character of his country, should be without this beautiful and unique edition of Shakspere. Master Humphrey's Clock. By Boz. Part 2. London Chapman and Hall, 186, Strand ; Liverpool : W. Webb Castle-street. This number of Humphrey's Clock is far more interest ing than the first. The introduction of our old friend Pick wick as a member of Master Humphrey's club is a capital stroke of policy. The formation of " Weller's Watch" in the kitchen of the old mansion promises to afford a rich fund of amusement. The incidental tales, especially the " Visit to the Curiosity Shop," are exceedingly well told. The dia logue between Mr. Quilp and the ladies is highly charac teristic. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. NATIONAL EDUCATION. (From the Sta f fordshire Gazette.) We regret to perceive the tone taken by the Times newspaper on this important subject, and the more so because of its vast influence, and of our general ac cordance with its principles. The Times observes, with reference to the grant of £30,000 last year carried in the Commons, by a majority of two, that, "a condition was attached to it that ministers should appoint in spectors to attest the proper employment of the grant; and never was a more foolish or petulant thing done than the refusing of this grant, or their share of it, by the members of the Church of England, which refusal left government the power of lavishing it without restraint on the school establishments of the political dissenters; whereas, had the church members grasped their of what had in a great degree come from their own pockets in the shape of taxes, there would not have been one dissenting school in five which would have been found to have performed the conditions of the grant, nor one in . five of the Church of England schools that had neglected them." Now this is not stating the case fairly : the members of the Church of England did not refuse to accept their share of the giant simply because inspectors were to be appointed, but on account of other conditions stipulated for, which involved their conscience and consistency—they must either have admitted a mutilated Bible and popish and socinian inspectors, men of all creeds and men of no creeds, to dictate the course of instruction in their ' schools, or reject a grant to which such impudent con ditions were attached. The best supply, however, to the mistakes of the Times, has been very seasonably supplied by that excellent nobleman, the Earl of Win chilsea. At a meeting of the Protestant Association, on Wednesday, assembled to discuss this subject, his lordship delivered his sentiments as follows, ands in which we heartily coincide :—" We are assembled," said his lordship, " upon this occasion to protest against the further continuance of that unscriptural scheme of national education, against which we raised our voices last year, and in favour of which only the miserable majority of TWO could be obtained in the lower house of parliament, while in the upper house an immense majority of M. opposed it, adopting an ad dress to the Throne, praying her Majesty to withhold her royal assent to the measure. But notwithstanding this declaration against that scheme of education by so large a majority of the hereditary advisers of the Crown, an incompetent and daring ministry have dared, being compelled by their Popish masters, in direct violation of the best feelings of the people, to advise their Sovereign to force that scheme upon the country at large. We are assembled to sup port our opinion, which is founded on the whole authority of Scripture, that no system of national edu cation can or ought to be acceptable to a Christian country that does not take the Bible, and the whole Bible, for its foundation, and all those religious prin ciples which the Bible inculcates. It is that religion which can alone be of any service to man, and afford him the slightest benefit in this life ; it is that religion alone which can elevate the man and bring his heart and life into subjection to the Almighty. Such a re ligion as that, indeed, is the only religion worth pos sessing ; it is a religion which makes a man happy in himself and a blessing to the community to which he belongs. The system of national education which we stand forward to advocate is one which should re ceive the support of every Christian ruler ; for it has for its object the moral improvement of the popula tion, the formation of upright character, and the in culcation of Christian conduct ; a system which will be the best security of the public tranquility, and the on!y safeguard of the peace of any coun try, a system which alone can maintain undis turbed and unpolluted the Throne and the Altar. The true Christian is the true and genuine patriot ; amidst the sneers and scorns he meets with from the thoughtless and carelesss world, through evil and through good report, lie continues his even. consistent ' course, his will ever regulated by the laws of God, r and his every action in unison with the motto, " Fear . God and honour the Sovereign." The true Christian - in his relative duties as a father, a husband, a son, a . brother, and a neighbour, as a master or a servant, as aiil a e n r d or h( a m s e u st bje e c o t n , rs i e, is inva riably found an inflpnuerisieueind by. those just those religious principles sup ported hich he draws from the ' aßnidbler,esaildetwloilfehtheeacnnmalmonnenietntitl,erhii,simistoththe the es t e religion,m and these are the principle s which, if generally taught and diffused throughout the world, would convert this earth, which sin and misery make a very hell, into a very paradise. We are met to oppose that system of national education, which whatever may be the declared opinions of many who support it, we well know and to was con cocted at Rome , fraudulently to try to deprive Eng lishmen of the ri.ghtofreadi reading the of the for ward the ever- c her i s hed design to bring this country under the domination of the Church of Rome again.

About two o'clock on Tuesday morning, the lightning was extremely vivid, and was accompanied by awful peals of thunder, almost resem bling the report of a park of artillery. The storm ceased before four o'clock, and the weather has since been tine and dry, but somewhat cold. On Thursday night there was a slight shower.—Leeds Intelligencer. Mt./ORE.—The origin of Lalla Rookh was an application made to Moore, by Messrs. Longman and Co., to write for them an epic poem, in which there should be no allusion to the ancient classical authors; they being responsible for the highest sum ever given for an epic poem. Mr. Perry, it was agreed, should decide the amount, which was fixed at 3,000 guineas.—Literary World. We regret to state that Mr. Ilorsman has been returned for Cockermouth. This result has been occasioned, as we learn from a person on the spot, by the fact of General Wyndham having declined, when lie took possession of his property at Cockermouth, to comply with the urgent request then made to him to become a candidate for the representa tion of the borough on the first vacancy. In consequence of this refusal many of the electors, who would otherwise have supported General Wyndham, became committed; but this difficulty will not operate on a future occasion, so that we may confidently add Cockermouth to the list of places which, at a general election, will be rescued from the whig gr as p._ Brighton Gazette. THE AFFAIRS OF BRITISH GUIANA. In our last we briefly detailed the proceedings in the Com> bined Court of British Guiana in reference to the new Civil List. We now proceed to extract from the Guiana Times a complete exposure of the disgraceful job of which the planters of British Guiana were the intended victims After enume- rating the progress made in the discussion'of the Civil List question in the Combined Court, and expressing a wish that the Court of Policy might retrace its steps, the Guiana Times proceeds to review the mode in which the colony has been treated by the Whigs and their congenial underlings. The following are its remarks : For some months after the termination of the apprenticeship fallacious symptoms of prosperity blinded many, who had a sincere anxiety to arrive at the truth. A large quantity of money, at its lowest amount, half a million sterling a-year, being retained in the country, and distributed, in the form of wages, among the labourers, gave rise to many novelties in our internal trade. Stores rose, with prodigious celerity, and at a short distance from each other, in both town and country : cottages started up with proportionate rapidity : it was believed that the colony was being regenerated, and that there would be no end to the briskness suddenly infused into commerce. His Excellency the Governor was careful to in form the Secretary of State of the changes progressing under his administration of the new order of things. The Parlia mentary papers contain notices of the obscurest bush-lot, where only some temporary shelter has been put up. " The village of Mahaica, and the hamlet Mahaicony are rapidily increasing, and some settlements are springing up, near AbarY." On some nameless spot, " many plots of land have been purchased by labourers, and preparations for building cottages are in progress :" " Frederick sburgh is greatly increasing :" " Georgetown district: buildings being erected in all directions." " The new appraisement of Georgetown shows an increase in the value of buildings and lots, in three years, since the last appraisement of 1836, amounting to upwards of 600,000 dollars, or more than £120,000 sterling," a fact so gratifying and considered so important, that it went home, carefully preserved in a sepa rate despatch, exclusively appropriated to its announcement. It was on the perusal of those communications, that Mr. Ste phens, the pious author of the documents published with the . signature ".1. Russell," exclaimed, with hands clasped, and eyes turned upwards towards Heaven, " Our brethren of Africa have become shop-keepers, and petty traders, and hucksters, and small freeholders :—a blessed change which Providence has enabled us to accomplish." Had Mr. Light stopped there, he might have been consi *sidered a harmless man, of a visionary fancy and chimerical notions, but a benevolent and warm heart. But he had not the discretion, or, more probably, he wanted the candour, to separate and direct marks of prosperity, impressed on the colony by the commencement of the free system, from the slow, but sure and fatal symptoms of a general decline, originating in the same memorable event. Not only must lie represent the peasantry as placed in the way of comfort and happiness, but he must needs describe agriculture as flourishing, and, in a series of despatches, which never, like others of his communications, saw the light through his in strumentality, but the fortuitous publication of which, at intervals, covers him with confusion, and eradicates from the breast of every rational colonist, all respect for him as a ruler, and nearly all esteem as a man, must needs concoct a mass of fabrication, the absurdity of .which has, at length, become evident to the Secretary of State himself. The de crease of colonial produce, continued, he admitted, but, " the lengthened drought of the last, and beginning of the present quarter, would have caused diminished crops under the most coerced system of labour." " Even supposing the exports of sugar for the year 1839, from this colony, to reach only 85,000 hhds., the returns in money would be larger an when the produce had been at its greatest extent Many of the la . boUrers; who had purchased the land on which they erected cottages, did not abandon field-labour." " With such data,"—the returns of stores and merchandise, " His lordship might judge . of the prosperity of the province, unconnected with"—those very troublesome things—" ex ports or imports." Nay, the people on the east coast could not purchase Northbroke, without its being gravely asserted, that " the rules which they had drawn up for their " com munity were so rigid, that none but the determinedly indus trious and sober would be tempted to 'obtain a settlement among them." " There were surpluses in the colonial treasury," capable of indefinite multiplication, and perfectly inexhaustible : And, climax of ingenuity ! topping-stone of the inventive art! " emancipation had not diminished the prices of property, the best proof of the confidence in the steady prospects of the colony :" for " Plantation Windsor Forest, Demerara, sold for £42,000, the full value, undimi nished by emancipation." For a time, the colonial Secretary of State lent a willing ear to the flattering tale. He " had great satisfaction in re ceiving the conclusive proof, which th Governor's despatch afforded, that the resources of the colony had not only not decayed, but bad undergone a decided improvement since the abolition of slavery and the termination of the apprentice ship system." But, at last, common sense, and the repre sentations of the colonists in their petition, as well as of the West India merchants resident in England, seem to have opened his lordship's eyes to the real condition of affairs. In the despatch of the 15th of February, which no colonist that has perused its contents, can to his dying day forget, Lord John Russell, approaching as closely to the tone of reproof as the courtesies of official intercourse admit, informs Governor Light, that " the decline of produce is unquestionable :" and " that some part of it may be owing, as lie asserts, to the lateness of the season, but no doubt can exist as to the fact of a remarkable falling off in the quantity of produce during the first year of freedom." Then, alluding, we are entitled to presume, to some secret statements of Mr. Light about in sufficient wages, his lordship says, "I am not 'disposed, as a general proposition, to refer this falling off in the produce to the want of adequate wages as its cause. Many vexatious disputes have, no doubt, arisen :" and so forth. " But a larger and more general cause has led to the decline of culti vation of sugar and coffee." And his lordship calmly and reasonably goes on to argue, in the spirit of the letter ad dressed to him, some time back, by . Mr. Burnley, of Trini dad, that the facility of subsistence between the tropics, and the want of a middle class of population, are obvious causes of the decline alluded to, and not either dry seasons or low pay. But, concludes his lordship, in so many words, with the coolness of an experienced surgeon, anatomizing a living subject, indifferent to the nerves, sinews, and blood-vessels, which his knife divides, ' wages are high in Guiana and low in Hindostan : it is a mere matter of calculation to the ca pitalist in whether of the two countries he ought to raise his sugar: the sugar trade may quit Guiana for Hindostan, as the silk trade quitted the east for France, or the woollen trade Tuscany for England : but her Majesty will be satisfied if Guiana flourish, hereafter, in a different sense from that in which it has flourished hitherto, if her subjects there, rescued from the lash of compulsory toil, become, by the help of Providence, shopkeepers, and petty traders, and small freeholders.' A despatch couched in language less, capable of being misunderstood, it is impossible to imagine. The perusal of it produced on the minds of the people of this colony, an effect analogous to that of a thunder-clap. Yet, no one could deny that its train of reasoning was natural to a statesman, bound by no ties of affection or interest to any particular portion of the British empire, but casting, without, passion or selfishness, the destinies of its united millions. That despatch reached governor Light on the 21st March, by the same vessel which conveyed to him Mr. Young. With a disingenuousness the exposure of which may call up a a blush to his cheek, he kept it back from the public. Lord John Russell did not consider it to be private, for he laid it before the House of Commons. Yet, we say, his excellency kept it back from us. Its contents did not leak out, even through the ordinary chink—the garrulity of the people around him. The two houses of legislature met ; speeches were made and addresses delivered ; yet not a whisper was breathed about that despatch. Probably, the chief justice alone shared, with the governor and the government secre tary, the knowledge of its contents. The financial representa tives, after much earnestness of application, extorted the pe - • rusai of several despatches ; that despatch was not amongst them. Nevertheless, with a penetration which redounds to their credit, they acted as if they had seen and read it from beginning to end.* It arrived in the colony, among the par liamentary papers, a few hours before the division took place, and the most moderate men. when they perused it, acknow ledged that the colony had been led to the brink of a preci pice by the governor, from which the firmness of its accre ditted representatives alone saved it. We seem at last to have reached the most disreputable act in the whole course of his excellency's administration ; that he, appointed to guard the interests of the colonists, should seek—furtively hiding the information which he possessed, to betray the colonists into a fatal compact, to endure for twenty-one years. But we dismiss this part of the question, for the personal demerits of an individual are of small moment, compared with the fate of what ought to he a great country. The assertion has been never denied, although reiterated, times innumerable, that the projected civil list had its origin in this colony. His Excellency, in the end of July, last year, " called the attention" of the Secretary of State—that was the expression—to the necessity of being prepared with a new civil list, and " respectfully submitted the propriety of pro viding more liberally for the public officers :" he stated the dearness of provisions, and, (for the first time, it would seem,) the difficulty of obtaining labour, but only as regarded menial services : alleged the community to be well disposed, (the despatch has not as yet been published in this country, being studiously kept back,) to admit the propriety of in creasing salaries : announced that, "could any boon be offered to the colonists, he did not despair of fising the salaries at the increased rate on the civil list :" " and begged the Minis' s ter to strengthen materially his (the Governor's) position, by signifying to him his approval of the civil list he bad pro posed, or any other he might consider to be just, previously to the meeting of the combined court." Lord John Rus sell's reply to all this, it was deemed not unsafe to publish. He gave, willingly, and, we dare say, without deep considera tion, the required approval, insisting, however, on a pro vision for the pensioners : and what position did the Governor assume then? The project, created by himself, and only permitted by the Secretary of State, he held, in terrorern, over the combined court, as one, the terms of which he could not stow depart from. The Colonists are certainly, as much indebted to the gentlemen, who move for the production of parliamentary papers, as to any other class of Members of the Imperial Legislature. We said it was likely the Chief Justice had seen the despatch of the lath of February. "If the East Indian capitalist," says Lord John, "can compete with the Demerarii planter, the sugar business will rise in Bengal, and the Cooly remain at home : the plantation will be found for the labourer, and not the labourer go to the plantation." The Chief Jus tise tells you, that " the English nation, which cries for cheap postage and cheap corn, will have cheap sugar too, and that the harvest of the West Indies will last no longer than the next three years." The man must be blind, indeed, who does not perceive in this the clearest indications of the ap proach of one of the most momentous changes in the com merce of the world that has ever presented itself to the con sideration of the political economist.

But this grave question remains, If every man whom our climate predisposes to indolence, have, within a few years, an opportunity of leading, without immediate inconvenience, such a life as the Secretary of State contemplates without emotion or alarm, what will become of this country as a producing and exporting country? Could any cabinet expect, for twenty one years of unproductive flourishing times ? It is quite i nc redible. The Secretary of ness, a rate of remuneration eq only by that g i ven i n list from the its provisions : his views of gen tlemanroost largely interested in d, we are • s of colonial society from a very different, and' we grieved State manifestly draws his ideas of . t the civil emancipated labour- New Orange Nassau been purchased by to say, a sounder source. Already have Northbroke and lil * We are in error. They would not lave offered so ral a civil list of their own. r ; another plantation on the same coast is now the subject of a treaty, preliminary to a similar purchase. If the present high wages continue unabated, plantation will follow planta-' tion. We very cordially assent to Lord John Russell's sen timent, that " there is nothing in this singular or culpable, since no man in England, who has capital sufficient to keep a shop or rent a farm, will follow the plough as a day la bourer." The purchasers of Northbroke did not know their own motives of action as human beings, when they declared their " firm determination, as a body, to continue to labour daily on the several plantations where they were employed." The officer whom they addressed displayed equal ignorance of frail humanity, when he wrote of the rigid " rules of their community excluding all besides the determinedly industrious and sober." No one now seeks to compel these people to promote the splendour of the empire by keeping its com merce up ; but why strive to mock, with ancient and obso lete munificence, the desolation of abandoned fields, or the wild luxuriance of spots of ground, yielding sufficient subsist ence for the wants of the day, but nothing beyond ? Without immigration, then, it is of no use to talk of your civil list. But you say you will allow us to have immigrants. Not, however, from Africa or the East Indies ; iu the latter country, you openly contemplate the creation of sugar estates : a scheme which possesses several of the ingredients necessary to success, first, as it would benefit the Corporation of Lea denhall-street, next, as it would rescue the Coolies, con fessedly wretched, from sheer starvation ; thirdly, as it would counterbalance the exertions of the foreign slave-dealer. Now, how, with such a scheme staring us in the face, could you ask us to consent to your proposals, submitting, at the same time, to restrictions which must prove our ruin ? A taunt about our wishing to deal in human flesh, comes with but a bad grace from any servant of the local government. Were that civil list granted, the immigrant's flesh, who arrived here from the United States, could be said to be purchased, as truly as that of the African or Cooly. It is inconsistent, if such is the traffic which we actually wish to drive, to let us deal in Americans, but to shut up the Indian market. The government secretary, if he obtained his £2OOO, under the conditions carried out by him, would owe the odd £BOO a-year to the purchase of the sinews, bones, and flesh of his fellow-creatures, fellow-immortals, aiming to fulfil the high destinies of their moral nature, just as truly as if we had agents in all the Presidencies, and along the whole African Coast. But it is monstrous to set up a clamour of trafficking in human flesh. Trafficking in human happiness, rather ! and adding to the well-being of thousands of individuals, while we would develope the capabilities; and accumulate the wealth of the state. Our financial representatives proposed to give £7OO sterling a-year to each of the stipendiary magis trates, who were to be nominated by the home government, and four of whom must speak the Hindostanee language. If the liberality and sound discretion of this part of their offer, do not very forcibly strike the British parliament, some ho nourable members mingled but little sincerity with their high-sounding and ambitious declamations, against what they denominated the Cooly slave trade. But not only was the immigration offered by the local go vernment, as part of their consideration in the bargain, limited in extent, but also _of the most precarious duration. There was no guarantee given, of the perpetuity of the per mission to freemen to emigrate hither. The very year after the.eommencement of the civil list cycle of twenty-one years, pl'ohibitions the most stringent might have been imposed. And only observe by what process the appropriation of money was to have been regulated. The Governor 'Was to have allowed, annually, such an issue for immigratiOn purposes, as he might consider expedient. We know that, last year, his excellency - sent home such representations to Lord Nor manby, that the noble marquis declared the colony incapable of supporting the expenses of immigration, since it could not, as he said, meet the exigencies of some of the most important departments of the state. Now, nothing was more likely then that some crotchet might enter into the head of the ex cutive, which if the combined court rejected, the execu tiv e would not past immigration. Suppose that the govern ment candidates had been returned to the two financial serts, at the late election, instead of the popular, and the votes in the combined court been equalized, the governor having a casting vote. The financial body must have quietly taken, without murmuring, such despatches as his excellency chose to lay before it. The civil list would have been passed, giv ing the governor £6000., the financial body not knowing that there existed a despatch allowing his excellency a govern ment house out of the parliamentary relief grant. The - civil list secure, the contents of the despatch would have gradually leaked out. A future combined court, more popularly con stituted, would remember this double-dealing, and attack sonic analogous annual allowance : the governor, in revenge, would shut up all the immigration supplies, declaring the more pressing exigencies of the country unprovided for. Co lonists, you can hardly have a conception of the dangers, from which the vigilance of your representatives has rescued you. You may despond as you see the executive now vin dictively locking up your own resources : your immigration society, destitute of funds, appealing to your exhausted purses : the very, items proposed for improvements by steam machinery, rudely erased by the hand of authority. But, recollect, the guardians of the public chest have still one check left on official tyranny. On the 6th of March last, the governor, in the court of policy, read a minute, a solemn document placed on record, in which be stated that he consented to let thirty thousand dollars stand on the estimate for the use of the immigration society. Au item thus placed there, must, of necessity, come before the combined court, by which, beyond a question, it would be carried unanimously. Will it be credited that his excellency, to hamper the colonists, threatens to withdraw this item from the estimate, and place it beyond the power of the combined court even to entertain it ?' Ile has given the instructions of Lord John Russell a retrospective effect, menacing to violate his own high honour as a ruler. We trust that he will withdraw this unjust and arbitrary proce dure. But if he do not, the colonists would, we are certain, justify their representatives, if they threw such impediments in the way of raising the yearly supplies, as would involve him in difficulties, of the nature of which he has little con ception. The step is not to be taken rashly, but, once taken, must not be receded from : for this tyranny is becoming in supportable, and must be shaken oil*. Whoever he be that stands between us and our attainment of prosperity, or, rather, the preservation of our being, must be punished for his rashness, and held up, a conspicuous beacon, to warn off all future rulers from those dangerous aggressions. Last year, the governor also, in a minute or speech to the court, declared that be " should not have felt justified, ac cording to his ideas of the prosperity of the country, to have given his assent to the import tax." This year, he is willing to allow an import tax, provided we allow him the civil list which lie asks. Such a tax, (of course, on British goods is meant,)was imposed sonic years back, levied for a short time, and then suddenly discontinued. CoOld the financial representatives have been satisfied with less than they required, a guarantee that the import duty should be co existent with the civil list, of which it professed to be in aid? But observe the cunning of even this proposal of a boon. The local government offered, indeed, to permit an import duty, but they themselves were to regulate its amount. Give us permission to raise a' tax, while you retain its possible amount in your own keeping, and your permission is totally valueless. An artifice was praCtised by the local government, when they submitted to us the civil list as a whole. This was met by the financial representatives, by a cordial anxiety to sacrifice individual differences of opinion as to the details, In sanc tioning their conduct with his approval, a man does not bind himself to anything beyond an acquiescence in the great general principle of demanding an adequate and permanent remuneration for the concessions which they make. The civil list of the local government proposed for educa tional and ecclesiastical uses, 11,150, a sum ridiculously in adequate. That of the popular representatives, in round numbers, £lO,OOO, (51,266d01., 67c.) Some fault may be found with the distribution of this amount between the epis copalian and the Scottish communions. The local chief of the Romish church has taken the alarm, and convened a Sun day meeting for the support, as he terms it, of the just views of the local government. His notice is what may be fami liarly termed fussy, but is not likely to attract many ad herents : for the Romish bishop is so domineering, so un popular, so fond of keeping the management of the funds of his congregation in his own hands, and conducting it in his own way, that his flock are not likely to fall into the trap which he has laid for them, or to wish to see a rapacious and irresponsible man entrusted with additional means of spurn ing at them and outraging them. By the term " a few financial representatives," the reverend gentlemen designates, let us remind him, the whole financial body. The assertion that the court of policy have voted the means of competent support to the Roman Catholic clergy of this colony, but that the financial representatives attempt to withhold it, is a false hood, disgracing the author's cloth, and affronting the cross under which he ministers. The court of policy placed nothing on the civil list for the Romish church. Every respectable Roman Catholic, on the day of meeting, after he has humbly offered his adoration to his Maker, will quit, we are certain, in thorough disgust, the sacred edifice profaned by the brawl ing of that turbulent and grasping priest. If a discussion of the minuti& of the civil list had been permitted to result in separate divisions, some liberal modification might have been made, of the provision for the two establishments. But now the Romish bishop has sunk so low, as to fawn, in the hopes of pecuniary aggrandisement, on an authority who professes to hold him in such abhorrence, that he has vowed never to sit again beneath the same roof with him. And now, with these considerations before them, and a hundred others which will be suggested to them by the peru sal of the recent debates or by their own reflections, our readers may judge of the debt of gratitude they owe the popu lar representatives. The discomfiture which they have sus tained, ought to teach the members of the local government to moderate their desires, and bound their aspirations after emolument by their real usetulness to the country. Which of them has ever introduced a salutary and practical improve ment into any of our institutions ? To which of them do we owe any reforms in our legal code ? Is not the best of them merely a respectable performer of • ordinary duties, in the discharge of which he seldom, if ever, deviates from the humble routine of his inglorious and forgotten predecessors ? Does the honourable gentleman, whose talent is the most conspicuous, exhibit any of the commanding genius that fits men for conducting great enterprises ? Is lie niore than a ready and eloquent debater, and a docile and clever servant ? Are not complaints universal against the uncertainty of the principles on which justice is administered? Which of the most experienced of the practicioners at the bar, can cal culate the future decisons of the supreme court by past prece dents ? or understand the existing system of jurisprudence, Dutch statutes interpreted by judges quite ignorant of the laws and practices of Hollaud ? Do not the public buildings form a vast castle of indolence, in which, beneath the very eye of the executive, judges, sworn clerks of all descriptions, magistrates, and custom-house officers, drag on, while the public work is neglected, from day to day, a listless and lux urious existence, or if they are industrious, are active only for the mischievous purposes of party politics ? But we need not rest the rejection of the proposed civil list on the defects or inefficency of the executive government. It is sufficient to have proved that, while the revenue is annually falling off, and the expenditure increasing, it is only immigration, and an equal division of taxes, that could have enabled us to bear the burden prepared for our shoulders by the local govern ment. It' we are to sink to the condition of a nation of pro vision growers and petty shopkeepers, the affairs of our state can be managed well enough by members of our creole popu lation, who will be satisfied with emoluments proportionate to the minor importance of their functions. There will be no need to attract to our shores a horde of dependent stran gers, that we may pay them extravagently while in office, and give them after they retire, an allowance which they shall spend for the benefit of lands with which we have no manner of sympathy. POST-OFFICE PENNY LAIIELS.--It may prove an awk ward thing to give or lend a penny label to a neighbour, as it subjects the party to be seized forthwith by the collar, and lodged in gaol. By the 2d and 3d Vic., c. 52, sec. 8, the rates denoted by the labels or covers are to be deemed stamp duties, and the paper impressed with postage stamps is sub jected to all the regulations, pains, penalties, and clauses contained in the acts relating to stamp duties. The labels are, therefore, under the protection of the statute 3d and 4th William IV., c. 97, by the 12th clause of which, if any per son shall hawk or carry about for sale any stamped paper, " or shall utter or offer for sale or exchange, at any house, shop, or place, other than the house or shop in which he shall reside, or bond fide carry on his trade or business, any stamped paper," he - shall forfeit £2O, and any man may apprehend him. He may be further fined £2O for selling stamps without alicense, and the informer may have all the penalty, at the option of the commissioners of stamps. By the same act, if any person shall fraudulently get out of, or discharge from any stamped paper any matter or thing thereon written, printed, or expressed, he shall be judged guilty of felony, and be liable to be transported for life. The same punishm en t may be awarded to any per so n who shall knowingly u se , or have possess ion of," any stamped paper, from which an y matter or thing shall have been fraudulently erased, cut, scraped, discharged, or gotten.

The arrivals from abroad include 8250 qrs. of Wheat, and 11,000 barrels of Flour, and there have been duty paid on 5,600 qrs. of Wheat, 2,080 qrs. of Barley, 124 qrs, of Peas, 593 qrs. of Beans. and 4,240 barrels of Flour. The favourable weather we have experienced for the grow ing crops has had the effect (usual at this season of the year) of checking any activity in the corn trade ; at a decline of 2d to 3d per bushel, however, from the quotations of this day se`nnight, a tole rably fair business has been done in free Foreign Wheat for con sumption. Two or three buyers have appeared from a distance in the country American Flour, dirty paid, has met a moderate vend at 355 to ?5s 6d per barrel in bond 2:',s is the top price, and no transactions of moment have transpired, The better qualities of Oats have been held for previous rates ; but secondary and inferior descriptions have offered on easier terms, and few of any kind have been sold. Oatmeal, upon a little more extended demand, has maintained last week's rates, 34s to 31s lid per 2401b5. In Barley, Beans, or Peas, there is no material change to report. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JuNI 8. Our supply of Butter since this day se'rinight has been most abundant, and prices have experienced a rapid decline. Pine Car low, Kilkenny, &c. is not this day worth more than 95$ per cwt., whilst brands of indifferent repute are ineffectually offered at 88s to 90s. Consumers will continue cautious for some time. Pickled Butter has fallen 5s per cwt A few hundred firkins have been sold at 98s to 100 s. Holders are anxious to lessen stocks, and we believe 95s would nBt be refused. Nothing new in Beef and Pork. Bacon is brisk and worth 82s per cwt. CES CURRENT. MAIMER,IO cwt. s. d. s. d.

Paganini's remains were embalmed, to be removed 10 Genoa. his native town, for interment. The most wonderful Pe,%, former of the violin has been taken from the musical world.

Tie carried execution o ,a the fiddle beyond any former or subsequent performer, and l it almost demoniac feats of dexterity were only equalled by his tout ing tone, beautiful expression, impassioned feeling, and corre.` intonation. His compositions partook of his unearthly appearanc e his style was " sad by fits," by starts was mild.
