Vottrp. THE WEEPING WILLOW OF BABYLON. The following verses were written by the Marquess Wel lesley, eldest brother of the Duke of Wellington, at his seat, Fernehill, near Eton, the other day. The composition is good and elegant. It is at least an innocent and even digni fied amusement for an old prime Etonian, now in his 80th year:-- _ The first of this race of willow was introduced into England in the last century : it was brought from the banks of the Euphrates, near the ruins of Babylon, where this willow abounds. This is the willow on which the Israelites " hanged their harps," according to the Psalm 137 " Super flumina Babylonis." " How shall I sing the Lords song in the land of a stranger ?" Dishevelled, mournful, beauteous type of Grief That seem'st in tears to bend o'er Thames's tide, And still to rue the day, when Babel's chief, High on thy parent stream enthroned in pride, Beheld upon thy melancholy boughs The harps unstrung of Israel's captive band, When heart, and voice, and orisons, and VOWS Refused the haughty victor's stern command To move great Sion's festal lay sublime. To mingle heavenly strains of joy with tears. To sing the Lord's song in a stranger's clime, And chant the holy hymn to heathen ears, Down by Euphrates' side they sat and wept, In sorrow,mute, but not to memory dead ; Oh Sion !--voice and harp in stillness slept, But the pure mindful tear for thee was s hed To thee, beloved Sion! vain were given f • Blessing and honour, wealth u The glorious p res ent majesty fa Heavenl cr—in vain Irradiated thy chosen holy fane Fallen from thy God, the heathen's barbarous hand Despoil* thy temple , and t hine _ altar stains ; 'Refs of her children mourns the par ent land, And in her dwelling s death lik e s ilence reigns. ument to l • Rise, sacred tr ee H o w Vanity an How lead to W te o l ; Under what wrath unfaithful Israel fell, What mighty arm laid Babel's triumphs low, Rise, sacred tree! on Thames's gorgeous shore, To warn the people, and to guard the throne Teach them pure religion to adore, And foreign faiths, and rites, and pomps disown ! Teach them, that their forefathers' noble race, With virtue, liberty, and truth combined, And honest zeal, and piety and grace, Tne throne and altar's strength have intertwined : The lofty glozies of the land and main, The stream of industry, and trade's proud course, The majesty of empire to sustain, God's blessing on sound faith is Britain's force. Me, when thy shade and Thames's meads and flowers Invite to soothe the cares of waning age, Ma y memory bring to me my long-past hours To calm my soul, and troubled thoughts assauge ! Come, parent Eton !, turn the stream of time Back to thy sacred fountain crowned with bays ! Recall my brightest, sweetest days of prime ! When all was hope, and triumph, joy, and praise. Guided by thee I raised my youthful sight To the steep solid heights of lasting fame, And hailed the beams of clear ethereal light That brighten round the Greek and Roman name. 0 blest instruction ! friend to generous youth ! Source of all good! you taught me to entwine The muse's laurel with eternal truth, And wake her lyre to strains of faith divine. Firm, incorrupt, as in life's dawning morn, Nor swayed by novelty, nor public breath, Teach me false censure and false fame to scorn, And guide* steps through honour's paths to death. And thou; time-honoured fabric, stand ! A tower hapregnable, a bulwark of the state ! Untouched by visionary folly's power, Above the vain, and ignorant, and great ! The mighty race with cultured minds adorn And piety, and faith ; congenial pair ! And spread thy gifts through ages yet unborn, Thy country's pride, and Heaven's parental care. WHIG-RADICAL LOYALTY. (From the Staffordshire Gazette.) . In comm on w i t h a ll h er l oya l su bj ects, we s i ncere l y rejoice on the occasion of the marriage of our youth ful Queen. Happy in being united to the object of her affections, but happier still in the kind disposition and spotless character of the husband of her choice, we trust that under Providence she is destined to en joy a full measure of conjugal bliss ;—we trust too, that in her illustrious consort she will find a bosom counsellor, not less able than anxious to protect her in all the difficulties, and advise her in all the perplexities inseparable from her exalted station. But still we are disposed to congratulate the country on the great event of the week, it were idle to deny that our satisfaction is not wholly without alloy. We had hoped that in the conduct of a great national so lemnity, all political feuds would have been forgotten, all party jealousies laid aside, and the honour of the Sovereign alone re g arded ; but no : the same worth less crew that in furtherance of their selfish and sor did ends have gone nigh to compromise the character of their maiden Queen, have now done all that in them lay to prejudice her prospects while entering into the holy estate of wedlock. Instead of following the wholesome precedents of former reigns, and inviting the flower of the British peerage without distinction of Party to assist at the royal nuptials, or to partake of the royal hospitality, we find that with hut two excep tions, none of the conservative nobility were permitted to bear a part in the rejoicings of the day ! Of these two exceptions the Earl of Liverpool, an old personal friend of the Queen, was the one—the Duke of Wel lington, invited only three days before the wedding, was the other. Such exceptions serve only to heighten the marked affront which was thus put upon the rest of the conservative peers, whose loyalty, had it not been of that sterling Rind which forgives while it grieves for the acts of a young and ill-advised monarch, would have resented such a cruel—such a deliberate insult. kiappily, however, for the Queen, the acts of her mi nisters are not confounded with her own ; would that she were well assured that they whose devotion she has been taught to question are the most zealous guardians of her injured dignity ;—yes, and it is only among the opposites of her present ministers, that honour, fidelity, and loyalty are to be found ! Loyalty indeed ;—the word jars on the ear when tit tered by whig-radical lips,—and yet they would have the country to believe that all its loyalty is confined to them. Granted that we find them on all public occa sions boasting of the devotedness of their affection to the royal person—of their anxiety for her happiness, and their zeal for her service ; granted too, that we find them whenever a hasty word escapes the most humble of th e i r opponents, eager to ma k e i t a pretext for i m p eac hi ng the honesty of the party and lowering them in the eyes of their mistress ;—we however can discern 110 loyalty in all this, we see nothing on the contrary but seltish ne6s an d s h ame l essness .—Wh en the day c omes , an d come it must, of conservative as cendancy, w e s h a ll t h en see whether the ex-ministers will maintain th e same pr i nciples, and speak the same language that m ar k e d their official career;—we shall then see whether they will retain the same respect for their Sovereign, and the same constitutional reverence for the ministry o her choice ! Of whiy-loyalty some remarkable instances are on record, a n d may not here b e out of pl ace. Many of our readers will remember how Fox (in opposition) as sailed the character than f h good King George the Third, whose head he more enan onee demanded in the ar dour of debate, and w hose death he declared would be but a feeble expiation of the calamities he had brought upon the country! Descending to more recent times, who can have forgotten the language in which the en tire whig party indulged W hen King William the Fourth paused for one week in his career of reform, and placed the Duke of Wellington in the po s t w hi c h bad been so insolently relinquished by Lord Grey. The foul-mouthed threats and treasonable harangue of of that brief period almost transcend belief, n us in no doubt as to what Queen Victoria may expect whenever she shall see fit to dismiss the destructives from power. It is when exposed to slander and per secution that true loyalty is displayed, and not when basking in the sunshine of court favour ; and, tried by this standard, the contrast between Conservatism and Whiggery is complete. It may be said that in our own county, for example, the rejoicings on the occasion of the Queen's marriage have been principally confined to the side of our op ponents; they have, and properly so ; for while it is one thing to offer public insults to a reigning sove reien, it is another to convey to her the marks of pub lic approbation. To the former we should never stoop; the latter, for the present at least, perhaps, comes best front our opponents. In conclusion, we shall only observe, that if the wn Tradicals had been - 1h o called when the return of their p ar t y t o p ower , though for by the peo ple, was pre vente d by a knot of bedchamber women, this country, in all probibili ty, would have b een ex posed to the horr ors o f civil War . That such a dire we calamity did not then b e f a l it, ance of the conservative part y; tiat a like hazard owe to the forbear: should not again threaten it, wrust to Prince Albert to prevent. wa r The " great anti-corn law meeting," which the city the other day, would appear to be a failure, s fo hemld the anxiety now shown to gain signatures to the petitions which were then agreed to. In the lobbies of the courts of law, at Guildhall, this morning, two men were in attenriance, to solicit signatures to the anti-corn law petitions. The majo rity of the persons who attached their names to these preci ous documents were attorneys' clerks, many of them mere lads. How, then, these petitions can be represented as cow_ bag from " the merchants, bankers, and traders of the city of London," we are at a loss to say.—Courier. TH E QUEEN'i Gi &NT CHEESE.—The Pennard cheese was made on the morning of the 20th June last with the milk of 7JO cows, fifty dairy maids officiating at the ceremony. The shape is an Octagon, the lineal edge 14 inches, depth 22; measures, Irons angle to angle, 36 inches, containing 20,820 cubic inches; weight 10 cwt. A powerful press was made for the occasion, capable of giving a pressure of 40 tons. " The follower" is formed of a block of mahogany five inches thick, with the royal arms sunk in it, which appears in has relief on the top of the cheese. To prest,we it effectually from vermin, &c., a prison of beautiful wire-work surrounds it, covered with an octagonal pyramid of the same, surmounted by the royal crown. On the Queen's wedding-day a party from Il nposter was received by Messrs. Norris and Dunkerton, the projectors, and entertained ill the roost hospitable manner, in the room where the cheese stands, when a sung written exprmly for the occasion by Nir. T. Dibdin, and set to music by T. Williams, was sun g t o the great delight of a nu microns compauy who had assembled on this joyous occasion. The following is one of the verses " The Pennard men then built a cheese The like was never teen ! "'Vas made, and press'd, and fit to please Our gracious lady Queen ! And wedded to her royal love, May blessings on her fall, And Pennard cheese at din er prove The bat thing—eir alll fmptrial parliamtnt. HOUSE OF LORDS.—TaunspAY.. A bill, of which the object was stated by the Marquis of NORMANDY to be to enable the visiting magistrates, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to relax the regu lations of the Prisons Acts, as regarded debtors who were confined in the same prisons with criminals, was read ase cond time, and ordered to be committed the next day. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER brought forward the motion, of which he gave notice. towards the latter end of last session, on the subject of railroads, and the supply of the metropolis with water. He wished to have the attention of a committee directed to the measures which he understood, by conversing with eminent engineers, were practicable for adding to the security of railroads. With respect to the su pply of water, he enumerated the various companies which had been formed, and their plans, and concluded by moving for a select committee, to take into consideration the present state of railroads, in regard especial'y to the means of security .against unforeseen dangers ; also to take into consideration the present supply of water to the metropolis, and the state of the sewers. The Marquis of LAICSDOWNE thought it would be more convenient if the questions were separated. The Earl of ABERDEEN deprecated an inquiry to discover some means of security against unforeseen dangers, as no acci dents of the kind contemplated had yet occurred on railroads. He should not offer any objection to the inquiry proposed re specting the supply of water to the metropolis. After some conversation, the Marquis of WESTMINSTER, agreeably to what appeared to be the general feeling, con sented to abandon the first part of the subject (railways), and to confine his motion solely to the supply of water and to sewers. Viscount DUNCANNON having afterwards suggested that the noble marquis had better confine his motion to the supply of water alone, his lordship assented ; and the motion, as agreed to, was " That a select committee be appointed to take into considerationt he supply of water to the metropolis." HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. After the presentation of many petitions, Lord SANDON inquired whether Sir R. Inglis would defer till after. Easter, and thereby oblige many parties, his contemplated motion for Tuesday next, as to " the duty of the nation to provide for all the people further and full means of public worship and re ligious instruction in the established church. Sir R. 'Nous said that he bad received so many solicita tions on the subject, that he yielded, though very reluctantly, to defer his very important motion till after Easter. Mr. EWART stated that it was his intention hereafter to move that a copy of the warrant of his late Majesty throwing open the Court of " Common Pleas" to the legal profession generally, together with a copy of the judgment delivered by the judges of that court, again shutting it to all but a privi leged class (the sergeants.) Mr. HumE saidthat on Thursday he proposed to move for a return, showing the state of representation in England, Scotland, and Ireland, being a continuation of that which was made in 1834. Also, that on going into committee of supply he should move for copies of all communications, papers, and despatches addressed to her Majesty's Govern ment, on the subject of the war in China. And that to-mor row he should ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer to fix a time to bring on his motion for a •elect committee to inquire into the system of banking. CHINA. In answer to a question from Mr. GEORGE PALMER, with respect to the granting of clearances of British vessels for China, Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that, in granting such clear ances, the government assumed no responsibility as to the regulations which might be made by the Chinese govern ment, or the changes which might take place in our political relations with that country. On Mr. HUME declaring that it appeared to him very essential to the commerce of the country, that merchants should be informed what had been the nature of the instruc tions sent out by the government, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that government could not enter into explanations on a subject of the kind without notice. COMMERCIAL. TREATY WITH FRANCE. In answer to a question from Mr. PARKER, Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that the government had been engaged in negotiations with the French government, with the design to promote, upon fair and honourable terms, the commercial intercourse between both countries ; and when the treaty was concluded, there would be no delay in laying it before the house. Lord GEORGE LENNOX moved, that there be laid before the house the names of the military and naval commissioners, and the date of the appointment of that commission, with a view to ascertain from the government, or some member of the commission, the cause of the delay in the publication of their report. Allusions having been made to the possibility of a brevet on the occasion of her Majesty's marriage, Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN stated that there would be none. Lord GEORGE LENNOX withdrew his motion. FINANCE. Mr. HEnRIES brought forward his motion for certain re turns exhibiting the state of the finances of the country. The only portion of his motion as to which he understood there was to be any opposition, was that which called for an account of the income of the consolidated fund, (including therewith the duties on sugar,) and of the charges thereupon, in the year 1839 ; distinguished under the principal heads of receipt and expenditure ; and also an estimate of the same for the year 1840, showing in each case the surplus applicable to the supplies voted by parliament. The object was mainly ad dressed to that portion of the return which comprised an es timate of the pecuniary resources of the country for the cur rent year. To the necessity of producing this, in reference to the present state of the financial affairs of the country, the main part of his argument on this occasion would be addressed. The right hon. gentleman concluded with moving for a great variety of returns calculated to throw light on the various points urged in the course of his speech. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he would nar row the question as much as possible by stating at once what part of the returns he was willing to give. The part of the motion to which he objected was " the return of the esti mated income of the Consolidated Fund for the year 1840." It would be almost impossible now to give any thing like a calculation on which the house could rely. The prospects of the commercial world for some time past had been gloomy ; and it was to the opening of the spring trade that govern ment must, in a great measure, found its views as regarded the customs and excise. As to the post-office, nothing but a sense of public duty would induce him to withhold any in formation from the right honourable gentleman ; but he could not afford at present to the right honourable gentleman the information he sought on this point. Mr. HUME said, he must tell the noble lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, and the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he was surprised at their resisting this mo tion. If the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer would send for the heads of the excise, customs, and stamps, he would in a few days be prepared to give the information required. If it was said this was a factious motion, be would say in return, " Defeat it by agreeing to it." To refuse in formation, gave the impression that there was something to conceal. After a brief reply from Mr. HERRIES, the house divided, when the motion was carried by a majority of 182 to 172. A motion was then made by Mr. BROTRERTON, that no new business which shall be objected to by five members, be brought on after twelve o'clock at night, which was lost by a majority of 145 to 25.—Adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. The Marquis of LANDSDOWNF presented a petition (simi lar to one presented on a former evening to the House of Commons) from the East India Company, in behalf of the native population of India, praying the adoption of measures to remedy the commercial disabilities which affect that po pulation. These disabilities exist in the present state of the sugar duties, and in the duties ou spirits. The petition likewise prayed for a protecting duty to encourage the culti vation of Assam tea. Lord Lansdowne observed, that, though he was not prepared with any proposition on the part of the Government, he considered the representations of the petition deserving of the most serious attention. The petition, at the request of his lordship, was read at length by the clerk at the table. Lord ELLENBOROUGH thought that the petition being so important, ought to be referred to a select committee. India, not being represented in Parliament, is entirely at the mercy of the British Legislature. Lord MELBOURNE, without an introductory speech, as he did not anticipate any opposition, moved an address to the Queen, congratulating her Majesty " on the happy event of her nuptials." The Earl of ABERDEEN (in the lamented absence of the Duke of Wellington) seconded the motion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY warmly supported the address. _ _ The address having been adopted, Lord MELBOURNE then moved " that a message be sent from this house, to congratulate his Royal Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha on the solemnization of his marriage." Lord MELBOURNE also moved " that a message be sent to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, congratulating her upon an event so deeply interesting to her, and of so much importance to her Majesty's subjects." The Lord President (the Marquis of Lansdowne) and the Marquis of Anglesey were directed to deliver the necessary messages. The prisons' act amendment bill having passed through committee, their lordships adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. After the presentation of many petitions on a great variety of subjects, Mr. LEADER stated that on Tuesday he should bring for ward his motion, previously deterred, regarding Frost, &C. Mr. Rura said that on Monday he should put a question regarding the dethronement of the Rajah of Satara. He then inquired whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer could name the day on which he would bring forward his motion for the select committee on banking, &c. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER answered, that he could not now name the day, but he hoped to be able to do so next week. Sir It. PEEL made inquiry respecting the authenticity of Governor Harvey's despatch from New Brunswick, published on Thursday, and other official papers that also appeared ; but Lord J. RUSSELL said, that not having read the despatches and papers he was not prepared to give explicit answers. The Right lion. Baronet then inquired when they were likely to receive the papers regarding the proceedings at China; but no answer was given. Mr. PAKINGTON asked whether there was likely to be in troduced a bill for the union Of the Canadas ; and whether there was any truth in the rumoured resignation of Gover nor Arthur ?. t SS u E ,o L u r id sa h id e ethonatsiapected—that de b r i e ll d o b n y t t i h ie e G s o u v b e je rn ct m w en a t s , anexd t hat he ill to expectedthat thbill to that orArthur's resignation, he had not re - house.

Mr. LAW deterred till Monday his motion for calling the attention of the house to the petition of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the city of London, " for libera tion of the Sheriff of Middlesex." Mr. GODSON gave notice that, on Monday, he should move the liberation of such sheriff. _ _ A new writ was ordered for Morpeth, in the room of Lord Leveson, who had accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, after which the house adjourned till Monday. RETURN OF HER MAJESTY AND PRINCE ALBERT FROM WINDSOR. (From the Morning Herald of Saturday.) It having been announced that her Majesty and her Con sort Prince Albert, as . well as the other illustrious personages, who have been visiting at the castle, would return to Buck ingham Palace yesterday afternoon, the road from London to Windsor was for hours crowded by persons on foot and in vehicles of every description, anxious to obtain a sight of the royal pair. By two o'clock, at least 4,000 persons were assembled on both sides of Constitution-hill and at Hyde-park corner, and along the carriage-road in Hyde-park, and a line of car riages filled with ladies, many of whom wore white favours and rosettes, formed on the north side, extending nearly from.. Apsley House to Kensington, while the foot-way was covered by pedestrians. At Kensington the arch of evergreens which excited so much admiration on Monday had been kept in the same state in anticipation of the royal party, and in the course of the forenoon the ornaments by which it was adorned were re moved from the east side and placed on the west side, facing the road from Windsor. The flags were also again hoisted, and a profusion of white favours were again displayed. At Old and New Brentford the triumphal arch near the Royal Hotel (in the former), and near the Castle Inn at the east entrance of the town and opposite the church at the western end of the latter still remained in the same condition as on Monday last. Both towns were also much crowded, but by far the most numerous assemblage along the road was at Brentford-end, it being known that the royal cavalcade would change horses at the house of Mr. Breakwell, the Coach and Horses Inn. closely adjoining the lodge of Sion House. It was, however, half-past two o'clock before the royal cortege appeared in sight. It consisted of five carriages, each drawn by four horses, the servants and outriders being in scarlet liveries ; the first carriage contained her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the others the Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent, their Serene Highnesses the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, and the hereditary prince, with their respective suites. Notwithstanding the very thick, raw, cold fog which prevailed during the day, the windows of her Majesty's carriage were kept down, and while passing through the above places, their speed was lessened by order of her 'Majesty. At Brentford-end fresh horses and a fresh escort, consist ing of a troop of the 14th royal hussars, had for an hour and a half been waiting, and during the four minutes occupied by the taking off and replacing the horses, the numerous assem blage of persons present crowded round the carriage, to obtain a sight of its royal occupants, both of whom, we are happy to say, looked remarkably well, and were throughout the delay cheered most enthusiastically. On entering New Brentford the royal standard was erected on the church tower and the bells set ringing, which, joined with the loud rivas of the assemblage, rendered the scene most animated. At Hammersmith, also, an union jack was dispayed on the church steeple, and the bells rang a merry peal. At Ken sington, however, owing to the unaccountable remissness of the parochial authorities, the church tower was minus a flag, and the bells rang no merry peal. The royal cortege reached the entrance of Kensington at ten minutes before four o'clock, at which time it was nearly as thronged as on Alonday last. Every window was crowded, and the pavement impassable. As it entered the High-street, the acclamations were long, loud, and continued. The car riages proceeded through the town at almost a walking pace, and the Queen as they passed each house, appeared to recognise the (to her) faces of its inhabitants, returning their demonstrations of loyalty and affection in a manner which will not soon be effaced from their memories. The acclamations were continued throughout the progress through Hyde Park and Constitution-hill to Buckingham Palace, where her Majesty and her illustrious consort arrived precisely at ten minutes past four o'clock. COURT CIRCULAR.--SATuaDAy. . • - . The Queen andlts Royal Highness Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha arriv e d a t Buckingham Palace, at Lye minutes past four o'clock, yesterday afternoon, in one of the royal carriages and four, escorted by a party of light dragoons, from Windsor Castle. Her 'Majesty and the prince were re— ceived with loud and frequent gratulations by a numerous body of spectators who had assembled in the vicinity of the Palace. • The royal standard was immediately raised on the marble arch. Several of the Queen's carriages followed, con taining her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Seiene Highnesses the Duke of Saxe Coburg and Gotha and Prince Ernest, the Countess of Sandwich, Lady F.

On crossing the Picture Gal lery the band of the Ist life guards, who were stationed in a recess, played " God save the Queen." The royal dinner party at the palace last evening included the Earl of Errol, the Earl of Uxbridge, and the Earl of Surrey. The band of the Ist life guards attended at the palace during the evening. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a small party at dinner, including the Danish Minister and Baroness Biome, the Netherlands Minister and Madame Dedel, and the Hanoverian Minister, on Thursday evening, at Cambridge House.

Her Majesty was es corted by a company of the 2d life guards ; and the distin guished visiters at the castle, with her Majesty's suite, fol lowed in several of the royal carriages and four. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left for London shortly before 11 o'clock this morning, attended by Lady Fanny Howard. (From a Correspondent of the Mor)zing Herald.) Orders were issued this morning for the royal carriages to be in attendance at the castle at half-past 12 o'clock, to con vey her Majesty and his Royal Highness Pince Albert, and her Majesty's distinguished visiters and suite, to Bucking ham Palace ; but in consequence of the dense fog which pre vailed, from the early part of the morning to this period, the order was countermanded, and the military escort dispensed with until two o'clock. At that hour her Majesty entered her carriage in the Quadrangle, to which she was escorted by and leaning on the arm of the prince. Her Majesty looked remarkably well, appeared in excellent spirits, and jumped into the carriage, warmly muffled up in fur, with great buoy ancy. The only personage in the carriage of her Majesty was the prince. In the second carriage were the Earl of Errol, the lord steward of the household, and Lord Alfred Paget, the equerry in waiting. In the third carriage were his Serene Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg and his son Prince Ernest, the father and brother of the royal bride groom. The remaining portion of her Majesty's distin guished visitors mid suite followed in five other of the royal carriages. The Baroness Lezhen left the castle two hours before the Queen in one of the royal carriages and four (the baroness's usual mode of travelling) for Buckingham Palace. The jewels of her Majesty (supposed to be worth upwards of half a million of money) were consigned by the Queen to the baroness to be conveyed to town. It is expected that the names of those individuals who are intended to form the household of the prince will ap pear in the Gazette of Tuesday next ' • but the greatest secrecy prevails at th e cas tl e on the subject, and, indeed, I may say, the utmost mystery is observed. I believe I may state that Sir George Anson has received an ap pointment from the prince, and that Mr. Brown, of Sheet street, who has been appointed surgeon and apothecary to his royal highness, will receive the honour of knighthood. I stated, a short time since, that the dry -rot had been dis covered in the private apartments of the castle, and that workmen were engaged in endeavouring to stay its ravages. The works were compelled to be brought to a temporary close, to enable the domestics to make the necessary preparations for the Queen 's arrival on Monda y last. The r oof of the principal dining-room, in which the rot was most prevalent, w as patched up n the occasion of her Majesty's visit; but the workmen wil e s coled. -commence their operations to-morrow, and continue them until the which wa p s et erected by George The splendid conservatory IV., at the Royal Cottage in the Great Park, is to be o l r re moved from thence to the Slopes. Its destination is sup posedd of the North Terrace. job i m to be at the eastern en • o'clock, but it was not this morning, between ten and elevenher Royal Highness to Her Royal Highness the u known whether it was the intention of . er t Palace. The Duchess of Kent left the castle proceed to Buckingham or to Kensington , who was in waiting upon her Royal Highness. Duchess was accompanied by Lady Fanny. Howard, BRITISH COLONIES AND CAPITAL IN THEIR MUTUAL RELATIONS. Commerce successfully prosecuted necessarily causes an accumulation of capital, for which profitable employment is continually sought. It is for the weal of the whole commu nity that the surplus capital of the kingdom should be invest ed within the limits of the empire where it was created • and it is for the direct interest of the capitalist hi mse lf that he should have the principal of-his money always within his controul, and the dividends Ile expects subject to the laws of his own country, and independent of the casualties of war or peace. Vast sums of money have been expended in milling speculations in South America, or invested in foreign loans, from which neither the country nor the owners of the capital have derived the least benefit. Had this wealth been ex pended in the British colonies, great losses would'have been avoided, and many advantages gained for the whole empire. Colonies, therefore, afford ample scope for preventing the effects of that plethora of wealth, which a is as fatal to the body politic as a superabundance of the vital fluid would he to the corporeal frame. Lord Brougham, in his work on the colonies, published at the beginning of the present century, and full of valuable obadivations on the impor tance of the transmarine possessions of England, justly remarks as follows :—" A people possessed- of an overflow- ing capital, is, of all others, the very one that stands most in need of foreign colonies, in order to obtain new openings, and to secure the possession of these openings at all times,under its own command. * * * * The prosperity of the Dutch was checked, and finally ruined, by their not having colonies sufficiently extensive for the em ployment of their capital." Venice tell from the same cause; the wealth of both was invested in foreign states—they became the money brokers and usurers of Europe—other pursuits were neglected, and distress and ruin ensued. There is a very great advantage in investing the capital of the mother country in the colonies ; it produces a better knowledge at home of the actual condition of those colonies ; it creates a greater (because a more selfish) interest for their welfare ; and it binds by closer ties England and her distant connec tions—making the prosperity of each conducive to the gene ral welfare of both ; thus forming a really golden link, more durable than any system of government, however restricted, or unrestricted in its forms. One of the leading indications of the decline of Rome, was the wealth of Pompey, Lepidus, Crassus, &c., whose enormous riches rendered them fatal instruments for accelerating the downfal of their country. To engage in commerce or mercantile transactions of any kind was considered by the Romans as derogatory to their rank, and the lending of money on usurious terms was the only mode in which wealth could be employed. In England riches are accumulating in the hands of a few individuals, and it should be the duty of a far-seeing statesman to coun teract this natural tendency, and to dissdminate the wealth of the country over the largest extent-of surface, and among the greatest possible number of individuals. Our colonies offer an almost inexhaustible sphere of operations for the pro fitable use of British capital, skill, and industry ; the many millions of acres of fertile land which they contain would employ all the surplus capital in the world, and provide food and occupation for an incalculable number of inhabitants. — The Colonial Alayazine. STATE OF TRADE MANCHESTER:.—We are glad to state, that the extreme de pression which prevailed in this market on Tuesday last, has given way to a rather more cheerful feeling. On Thursday and yesterday there was a very fair demand for yarn, and the spinners found it easy to effect sales, though with out obtaining any advance in price. In the goods market there was not quite so much elasticity ; but still some im provement was manifested, and manufacturers appeared in rather better spirits than at the commencement of the week. —Manchester Guardian.' LANCASHIRE.—The silk trade at Middleton, Failsworth, and Leigh, and other towns in the neighbourhood of Man chester, continues to improve daily, and several manufacturers have this week been in various towns in search of weavers. Some very particular fancy sorts have advanced the wages of weavers one halfpenny per yard, yet wages are very low ; but operatives employed in the silk trade are generally better em ployed and in better circumstances than those in our trades. Calico block-printing is a little better this week, and hopes are entertained that it will still improve. The course nan keens, woven by the hand, are nearly extinct, and the greater part of light goods and low reeds are now manufactured on power-looms, which is the reason so many old people are out of employment ; the fancy nankeens and very fine broad ging hams are very brisk, but wages are lower than they were twelve months ago. The trade in cotton mills at Stockport is yet in a depressed state ;—a very great number of hands are without work, and distress is alarming ; many have turned out in consequence of an attempt to reduce wages. The cot ton spinning in some of the towns near Manchester is rather duller this week • and on Tuesday the hands in some of the mills commenced working shorter time, but the hands employ ed in power loom weaving have more work than the Spinners ; indeed, power loom weaving in general is moderately brisk, but the manufacturers were never getting less profits by their goods than they are at this time. The flannel trade at Roch dale is rather worse this week and some of the small manu facturers have reduced the hand loom weavers' wages; but there are very few goods now manufactured by hand, but the power loom branch now increases. Mechanics and other trades are much the same as we stated in our last. There is great distress among the cotton hand loom weavers of various sorts in Bolton, but we are glad that some of the most res pectable and influential gentlemen have taken the state of the poor in this district into consideration, and they are giving relief to hundreds of families. Wages of the hand loom weavers are considerably lower than they were twelve months ago ; work being scarce and provisions high is the cause of present distress.—Preston Chronicle. LEEDS.—The transactions in our cloth halls gradually improve in extent, though the manufacturers complain that they are unable to obtain an augmentation of price commen surate to the present cost of the raw material. Most of the - manufactories are running longer time than they were a month ago, and as a necessary consequence there is more activity perceptible in the warehouses. BRADFORD MARKET.—There was a fair attendance of stuff buyers at our markets on Thursday, and we understand the amount of business done was middling ; prices, however, could not be advanced yet for goods. There was no material alteration in the yarn department, and no new feature in the wool market, except that prices were not quite so firm, al though no tangible reduction could be quoted. On the whole, the market was as good as could be expected. We understand that the applications for relief diminish in pro portion as the trade gradually improves. This is fortunate, as the subscription fund is nearly exhausted. WAKEFIELD WOOL MAKKET, FEB. 12.—There is no new feature in the wool trade since our last report. The arrivals in combing fleece wools are yet very partial, and the market continues to be barely supplied. The demand is, however, by no means active. Prices in all descriptions for the last ten days are without variation.—Leeds, Intelligencer. DUNDEE.—There has been an increased demand for se veral kinds of yarn during the past week, and some large sales have been effected at a slight advance on prices, although not to the extent of yielding a remunerating profit at the present rates of flax. As there has been no rise in the prices of linens, our manufacturers say the advance has begun at the wrong end, although they still entertain favourable hopes of a gradual increase in the prices of linens.—Dundee Courier. _ . The MARKET for METALS has been without the slightest interest, and there have been no public sales of East India tin. Generally, however, prices are slightly lower, and there is an expectation that British iron cannot maintain the pre sent rates. ECCLESIASTICAL AND UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

TObl DIBDIN AND THE LOZENGE.—Tom Dibdin had a cottage near Box-hill, to which, after his theatrical labours, he was delighted to retire. One stormy night, after Mr. and Mrs. Dibdin had been in bed some time, Mrs. D. being kept awake by the violence of the weather, aroused her husband, exclaiming. "Tom, Tom, get up !"—" What for ?" said he. —Don't you hear how very bad the wind is?" — ls it?" re plied Dibdin, h a lf asleep, but could not help punning. " Put a peppermint lozenge out of the window, my dear. It is the best thing in the world for the wind." —Bentley's Miscellany —Portfolio of Peter Popkin. tpp Ina Entelligentr, FRIDAY, FEB. 14.—Wind AnnivEn—Commerce, Adele, from Bombay ; sailed from St. Helena 2nd Jan.—Clio, , from Halifax SAlLED.—Frances, Sharp, for Hobart Town and Sydney—Cintra, Renfree, for Port Philip and Sydney—Santon, Iluxtable, for Calcutta —John Woodall, Williams, for Rio Janeiro and Calcutta—Frank land, Pearce, for Cape of Good Hope—Anne and Jane, Cocks, for Berbice—Plata, Carr, for Trinidad—Albyn, M'Laren, for Havana — Copse, Lowthean, for Jamaica—Stanley, Pugh, for Hayti—Frances Barclay, Bartlett, for Valparaiso—Clydesdale, Campbell, for Antigua —Eliza Killick, Waugh, for St Thomas and Hayti—British Tar, Blenkhorn, for Savannah—Frankfort, Russell, for New York—Eliza Thornton, Foss ; Lady Stormont, Griffith ; St. Leon, Wescott ; Wave, Broadfoot : and Humber, Wildridge, for New Orleans— Thomas P.

The arrivals from abroad consist of 6100 barrels of Flour and 590 qrs. of Wheat from the United States. Though we have not had anything like an active demand for Wheat, holders of free foreign (the stocks of which are now small) have not only been able fully to maintain prices, but have, in some instances, realized a little advance on the quotations of this day se'nnight : lls to Us 6d on the present rates for lower Baltic red; lOs tid to lls 3d for French and Barletta: les 3d to 11s for the general runs of Mediterranean : los 6d to iOs gd for Odessa soft, and gs 6d to gs _gd per 701 b. for hard.
