Here is the secret of their hostility. But for this, he might plot and poison as he pleased. The Jezebel" Jere miad would have passed without_ rebuke, and not an arm would have been thrust between the traitorand the Throne. But Mr. M`Neile has no such impunity to expect. He has placed, his country - under - too many obligations, and he he has touched her enemies in a point the tenderest that can be pressed on consciences of shame and guilt. He has exposed the profligate principles by which, in an age of ignorance, they im posed upon the world—he has denounced' them with a fervency and a force which have impressed the public mind, we trust indelibly, with a conviction of their in famy ; and were he but aided as energetically as he ought, it would be difficult, notwithstanding his hold upon the human heart, for the Old Serpent again to enfold any considerable portion of England within his coil. In truth, we are now in a position to estimate the amount of our obligations to men like Mr. M`Neile. " Blessings brighten," as the poet tells us, not while they are with us, but, " as they take their flight ;" and it is only when England—should it ever please Provi dence so far to abandon her—it is only when England is again within the grasp of. Popery—her candlestick removed, her light extinguished, her people performing a pilgrimage to some holy well, or indulging in the in tellectual recreation of bowing before some idol which their hands have made—it is only then, should a little of the salt be spared to preserve the case from putre faction, that a right sense mill be -entertained of the magnitude of the services which the Champions of Christianity have conferred on her. It is the fashion to hold these men up as the enemies of the people. Why they are - the best friends the people ever had. It is for the.people they have toiled and fought—would we could say, and conquered. Night and day have they devoted' themselves to their interest. In season and out of season have they laboured in their service, and la boured, too, to secure for them a freedom better than master ever conferred upon a slave : yet because they have done this they are misrepresented and reviled. But, " the disciple is not above his Lord." This is a part of their wages, and they must be content. , Let us Conservatives, however; learn a lesson from the example of Mr. M'Neile. We see .what, even on the admission of an opponent, has been effected by a single man. Few, we know, can accomplish what has been accomplished by ability and energy like his ; but have we don e Wh at ,in us lay? Are we doing it now ? Are we acting like men who, instead of being con tent with reposing under the laurels plucked,.by others, are endeavourin g each to gather a laurel for himself ? If not, how can we affect surprise when the battle goes against us ? Shall we, with the means of victory in our hands, suffer Ourselves to be driven ingloriously from the field ? What answer can we give to men who, having borne the burden and heat of the day, shall point to our remissness as the cause of their defeat ? (From the Argus.) The suite of private apartments now preparing at Bucking haul Palace for the reception of Her Majesty and her Royal Consort, Prince Albert, on their nuptials, are on the north wing, overlooking the Palace Gardens and Grosvenor Place.

The prevailing colour is of maiden's blush, ,with milk-white mountings throughout the suite s the cornices, ornamented ceilings, and mouldings of the architraves to the windows and doors, 'are all burnished gold ; the character of the embellishments are what the original architect, the late Mr. Nash, called his Athenian order, and are a compound between the Italian, Roman, and Greek members. The following outline of the grourid-plan will afford our readers a slight .idea of the ar rangements which, when completed, will combine perfection with privacy. It will be seen that the Baroness Lehzen has posted herself at the entrance, the door of her apartments opening directly opposite to the private reception room, or antechamber of the Queen, so that no person can enter by the private stair-case without her observation, there being but a narrow passage between the Baroness and the royal pair.

Our; market this morning was rather sparingly supplied with English wheat; but as We had only a thin attendance, of town millers, the quantity offering proved fully adequate to the demand, and whilst the choicest samples found pur chasers at about the quotations of this day se'nnight, all light and inferior descriptions hang heavily on hand, although a reduction of ls. to 2s. per quarter would have been ac cepted. In foreign wheat very little business was transacted, and the value of this article underwent no alteration. We experienced a low demand for flour, and the few sales effected were at last week's rates. The recent arrivals of barley were large, and our maltsters and distillers evincing little dispo sition to purchase, the trade in this grain must be noted dull at previous prices. Of oats the fresh arrivals from Scotland and Ireland have been considerable, and a great proportion having arrived in bad condition, are quite neglected, and where sales were forced in order to clear vessels, au abate ment of 6d. per quarter had to be acceded to.

TOBACCO MANUFACTORN AT MANILLA Our Manilla correspondent informs us that he has just re turned from a visit to the government manufactur e of cigars in that city, and observes that this manufacture isa close of governmen t monopoly, yielding a clea r revenue above 1,000,000 Spanish dollars annually, and that it is incre a sing. Tne tobacco, which is of the finest quality, is grown ins the northern provinces of the Phillippines, anti may be increased h infinitely; it is bought of the grower by the Manilla govern ment at a very remunerating price, but can only be sold to government ! In the enormous warehouses in Manilla, 7500 women, and 2000 men are employed, With a number of clerks and super intendents. They are all housed and protected from the weather as coolly and healthfully as the first merchant in INlaailla- r they are paid by the number each prepares, and therefore their industry, without coercion, is unceasing —the work people are divided at tables, sitting ten at each —every six tables have a female superintendent, who is responsible to the clerk of the works for the number and quality of cigars delivered, and who pays the sixty workers at her tables, and has an open acconnt with the clerk. These old ladies make large sums by advancing money to the girls under their care, on the security of -their week's wages, at worse than Jewish interest. The usual or average rate that a woman can earn, in making cigars, is about 37 100 of a dollarper diem—at our present exchang e , I s. 10d ; b ' ut many grades of quickness of hand exist, and e several hun d. d reds of women earn the large m i d sum of fro Per day ; and when it is consi dered that every arti c l e of life here is at a price five times lower than in Engl an d, the , women beat the men in making` e'e wages are very high. The gars. The foreign export cigars are a separate branch of the es tablishment, and though more fair to look on (the most ex pert hands are engaged to prepare them), the material is pre cisely the same. The portion of hands employed in prepar ing the export cigars is as 2 to 51 for home use, but export is increasing here ; the present price of 1000 e xport cigars at the manufactory is 71 Spanish dollars. The division of la bour is perfect and systematic. A snuff manufactory forms apart of the establishment, and works up the tobacco which is too small for cigars" The vernment of Old Spain has recently incre ase d its ordersgfoo; raw tobacco very largely , and places the quality on the . same footing with the best Havannah. The gross sum paid out in wages and prime cost in this admirable institution is 1,500,066 Spanish dollars, and the net profit' exceeds a million, and is said by some to amount to 1,200,000 dollars. The boys and girls only work from seven until twelve a.m., and from two to six p.m., and a merrier or more industrious set it is not pos. sible to see; they are in separate galleries. The artifictrs are bound under penalty of dismissal never to blunder the number of cigars in a bundle, and to distribute weight equally ; they never count or weigh, yet, from long practice, it is done as quick as lightning, and always right.—Morning Herald. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—On Christmas Day evening, as Mr. and Mrs. Shuttleworth, of Sheffield, accompanied by a gentleman and lady, w i t h an infant child, were proceeding in a four-wheeled vehicle from Calow towards Chesterfield, on arriving at the top of I - lady-hill, the horse suddenly broke into a full gallop, and descended the hill at a furious rate. The females, alarmed at theirdangerous situation, screamed, v: rich caused the animal to increase its speed in spite of all the efforts made to prevent it. At the bottom of the hill" the vehicle came in contact with the battlements of the bridge on the north side, with great violence, and precipitated the adults over—the females into the river, where they must have found a watery grave, bad not the men, who fell on the hank, and had sustained but little injury, instantly recovered their feet and plunged into the water to rescue them. As soon as this was done, they next became concerned for the child, but were soon attracted to the road by its cry. The child was discovered three or four feet from the horse's head, and strange to say, unhurt, although it must have been thrown a distance of not less than seven yards. Mrs. Shut tleworth is very much bruised and cut about the head and face, but is fast recovering; the` Others have sustained no other injury than a few . bruises. The carriage was literally dashed to pieces by the shock, but the horse is unhurt.-- Derbyshire Chronicle. • FACETIX.

A gentleman employed an Irishman to trim a number of fruit trees. lie went out in the morning, and on returning at noon, was asked whether he had completed his work.

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.—A man in Massachusets, having the fear of the fifteen gallon law before his eyes, drank a quantity of morns multicaulis tea just before going to bed; and when he woke up next morning the liquid had passed through his skull, and formed a silk night-cap which covered his head.

A coroner 's inquest has been summoned, and have adjourned for a fortnight, and as the matter has been actively taken up by some of the police,_ hopes are entertained that so me li g ht will be throw n upoiothe subject, involved as it is at present in the most inex plicable mystery. • MISCELLANEOUS. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—The foundation walls of the new houses of parliament are nearly completed, and it is expected the first stone will be laid by her Majesty early in the spring. It is known everywhere on the Continent, in all courts, great and small, that the three Cobourgs, father and two sons, are to arrive about the 20th of January, and that the marriage is to take place on the Bth of February.—Corre spondent of the Brighton Gazette. HONESTY REWARDED.—On Friday morning the son of Mr. James Haslam, waste dealer, of Bury-street, Little Bolton, lost a £3O note. A poor old man shortly presented himself with the note, when, as a reward for his honesty, the boy's mother generously offered him sixpence, which he in dignantly refused. An innkeeper in Maidstone had a cod-fish sent him last week, which when open was found to contain 30 star-fish, 2 gallons of sea-weed, 4 dabs, and 6 large whitings. We have had great pleasure in hearing that her Majesty has been pleased to lend to the National Exhibition, about to open, two of the most distinguished paintings of Wilkie, " The Guerilla Council of War," and " The Maid of Sara gossa.''—Ministerial paper. A strong force of the metropolitan police is to be immedi ately sent down to Monmouth, consisting of picked officers. This step has been taken in consequence of the apprehensions of the inhabitants of that town. Some of them have left town this morning by the Gloucester day mail.—Globe. Sometime since a party from the neighbourhood of Staple hurst having left their naive home and settled in America, wrote to the friends they had left behind, with this address, " Old England, Staplehurst, Kent, near Maidstone." The postmaster was puzzled, but after sundry conjectures and consultations, with a little peeping and prying, the letter found its right owner. THE CATHEDRAL IN CALCUTTA.—A few days since we stated that the Bishop of Calcutta had given £20,000 towards the erection of a cathedral in his dioceir.. It may now be added that the whole expense, including the endowment, is estimated at £60,000. We have great pleasure in stating tbat the subscriptions promised in Calcutta to the 12th of October were £15,300, that the Christian Knowledge Society has voted £5OOO, and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel has promised to endow a prebendal stall, which is equivalent to £3ooo.—Courier. On Saturday morning a pedestrian match came off between Clark, the celebrated Staffordshire runner, and Freers, groom to Captain Lauens, of the Guards, for 100 sovereigns, to run (each in a contrary direction) round the outside of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, starting from Tyburn-gate. Freers ran along the Uxbridge-road, through Kensington-lane, Kensington, Knightsbridge, Piccadilly, and Park-lane, into Oxford-street, to Tyburn-gate, a distance of four miles and a half, in 23 minutes and 45 seconds, beating Clark by upwards of a quarter of a mile.—Standard. Few persons perhaps are aware that ,VOO,OOO were left to the University of Oxford by Michael Angelo Taylor, to build a picture gallery and lecture rooms connected with science and arts. A dispute having arisen between his relatives and the trustees respecting the will, the latter, rather than risk a suit in Chancery, ye agreed to take £75,000, and have begun clearing the foundation for the building. They have removed the old houses at the corner of Beaumont-street, St. Giles's, nearly opposite St. John's College, which is the most centrical they could meet with. " DEATH OF MRS. BROUGHAIt THE MOTHER OF LORD BROUGHAM.—Died, on the 31st December, at the hour of ten in the morning, at Brougham Hall, 'Westmorland, in the 87th year of her age, Mrs. Brougham, widow of the late Henry Brougham, Esq., and mother of Lord Brougham. She was a lady of the most amiable disposition, and was universally respected and esteemed, almost adored, by those who had the honour of her acquaintance. No lady in the north of England was more refined in her manners and beha haviour, and no one was more endeared to high and low, rich and poor. Above all, she was truly a religious character ; and the consolations which Christianity affords enabled her to bear with fortitude and resignation the bereavements which it washer lot to suffer. Reposing with confidence in the all-wise disposals of Providence, she felt her sorrows as a mother, who lamented the death of her children ; but she bore her sorrows with the resignation of a Christian, who hopes and expects to meet in another daidiednd e i n happier the L or,dv,ear world, whom she so much loved, where there shall be no mor e sorrow, but where tears shall Brougham Hun th N e vho fri w en a d shed us in his of the poor was that had to help him. e wiped c i bi p lt e eh d o de from fatherless, eyes, sß, rou and of him none dow posterity with that of her highlY eyes to th e bli n d , an d f ee t was she to the lame."

The library of the late Dr. Butler, Bishilp of Lichfield, is said to have cost him nearly £30,000. On Christmas-day, a turtle, weighing two cwt., was found alive on the beach near Christchurch-head. Salisbury Journal. James Smith, Esq., the author of " Rejected Addresses, expired last Tuesday' morning, at his house, in Craven-street London. CAUSE AND EFFECT.—Perhaps there are no two words which more distinctly point out cause and consequence than these—gin and bitters ! Horses consume in England the produce of seven million acres; there are one million horses for labour, and two hun dred thousand used for pleasure in England. In the lowland neighbourhood, eastward of Wakefield, there are large quantities of potatoes perishing in the ground, in consequence of the wet season. The Rev. 11. Pepys, brother of the lord chancellor, has received the appointment to the see of Sodor and Man, va cant by the translation of Dr. Bowstead.—Ministerial paper. LARGE MUSHROOM.—Last week, Mr. Benjamin Hartley, stone-mason, got a mushroom 19 inches in circumference, in a field belonging to Thomas Ashton, Esq., of Park House.— Preston Pilot. RURAL POLICE.—We understand that Captain Woodford , the chief constable of the police force in Lancashire, has se. Itcted Capta-in Willis to be the assistant chief constable. — Lancaster Gazette. A prospectus has just been issued for the formation of a joint stock company for the manufacture of worsted and yarns, at the city of Durham. It is proposed that the capital shall be £30,000, in shares of £lOO each. A star set with diamonds, and a dressing case beautifully mounted in gold. are ordered of Rundell and Bridge by the Queen, as a present for Prince Albert. Their cost will be about £1,500. So rapid has been the spread of civilisation in the Sand wich Islands that more than 800 English and American set tlers already reside in the capital, Honololu, and have esta blished a theatre among their public amusements. Mr. George Child, innkeeper, of Criggleston, near Wake field, has now a second crop of apples this year, amounting to nearly a score, upon a tree in his garden, which are nearly as large and as well flavoured as the first crop.—Leeds In telligencer. The head keeper of the forest of Munderich, near Doun stetten, in Wurtemburgh, killed an enormous wolf a few days ago. The animal measured 5 feet 7 inches from the point of the nose to the tip of the tail, was 2 feet 7 in height, and weighed 87 lb. CALICO PRINTING IN ITALY.—One of the most extensive engravers to calico printers in Manchester is now executing thirty-eight 9-Bth engraved copper rollers for a calico print ing establishment in Naples ! Messrs. M`Farlane and Briggs, of Manchester, are making a three-coloured machine for the same. " Albert"—a name almost obsolete in this country—will become not only fashionable but common after February next; indeed, the ladies entertain the opinion that more Al berts will be registered in the course of next year than have been chronicled for the last century. We believe that the new commission of colonial lands and emigration will consist of Colonel Torrens, who has hitherto acted as chairman of the South Australian Board; of Mr. Elliot, the agent-general of emigration ; and of the Hon. Ed ward Villiers, the brother of Lord Clarendon.—Globe. John Matthew Galway, Esq., of the county of Waterford, has made an abatement of 30 per cent. in the rents of all his tenants who were spirit-dealers at Dungarvon and Abbeyside, in consequence of the progress of temperance in that quarter, to the great detriment of their receipts! ! ! Lord Francis Egerton, M.P., has determined to erect a splendid mansion on his estate in Lancashire, Worsley Hall, his present residence, being neither commodious for the family nor agreeable to his lordship's taste. The new build ing is to be in the Gothic style of architecture, and will be commenced immediately, a gentleman having left town to superintend its erection. We regret to observe the ship Sackville, Captain Fiddes, from Sierra Leone, with a valuable cargo of African timber, for this port, consigned to Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, having arrived off Penzance on the 19th instant, was blown back, in the late easterly gales, as far as Scilly, became water logged, and sank ; crew saved by a French vessel, and landed at Falmouth.--liampshire Telegraph. REPORTED CHANGES.—It is whispered about among the Whigs that Lord Fortesque is to leave Ireland, and to take the place of Lord Normanby at the home department. That Lord Normanby is to go to Paris, and Lord Grenville to India, whither . Lord Normanby would have gone, but that, "my lady" objected. The lord lieutenancy of Ireland, it is said, will be accepted by the Duke of Devonshire. — Morning paper. PIGEONING A FORTUNE.—In 1834 a pigeon was shot on the premises of Mr. Hughes, a cottage renter at Wotton, Hants, in the crop of which a few grains of barley were found, which Hughes sowed on his allotment. The produce was re sown four successive years, and in the last harvest has pro duced eight quarters and six bushels, which, at the present price of malting barley, must be worth nearly. £2O. Two men, near Buxton, have been, by a fall of earth, shut up in a cavern five days, and four nights, although miners, quarrymen, and colliers from a distance of twenty milesflocked to the place to render.their assistance. When taken out the men were found in a state of great exhaustion, but they are fast recovering. " Letters froM Italy slate that Venice has suffered dreadfully 'froth the rains and consequent inundations, which covered the streets and squares with water, the waves injuring the palaces. The sinking of the water has left the streets covered with pu trid matter; the shops and depots have had their contents spoiled, and' the desolation is universal. The Sardinian government, with a view to repress the praCtice of duelling as much as possible, has denounced in the penal code just promulgated, a heavy ponalty upon the survi vor in a fatal meeting, but made it reducible in proportion to the provocation given, and the nature of the circumstances attending the fight. The action brought by Lady Lytton Bulwer's solicitors against the proprietors of the Court Journal for a libel, con tained in his number of October 19, giving an account of an alleged - scene.at Lady Ahner's soiree, in Paris, between Lady Lytton Bulwer. and Mr. Henry Bulwer, but which never took place, has been stopped,. owing to a notice from Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer to his wife's legal advisers not to proceed in his name. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAIuaN-r. —The embanking wall which is to enclose the terrace on the river front of this magnificent structure, is now considerably above the level of high water. We understand the delay, or rather stoppage, tvhich took place in the works was occasioned by the defici ency in the supply of the granite which was being used in the structure; but this difficulty has been now removed by the importation of large quantities of granite from the quar ries in the neighbourhood of Dalkey, a town on the southern shore of the bay of Dublin. At this: moment we are in a state of War with China; and the loss to the British Exchequer in 1841, consequent upon this state of things. will be no less than FOUR MIL LIONS STERLING ! There can be no doubt but that Govern ment have taken some measures to restore the trade with China. What those measures are, we do not, of course, pretend to be acquainted with, and must patiently abide the time when her Majesty's ministers may deem it proper to communicate the facts to the British public. Lancashire, Yorkshire, Devonshire. and Scotland have severally lost a good and profitable customer in China; and this loss, so long as the intercourse is suspended, will continue to be felt with increasing severity daily. Birmingham too, will neces sarily suffer greatly by this event.—Commercial Gazette. Our merchants have much cause to complain of what is doing at Buenos Ayres, if the news thence received be cor rect. It appears that owing to the blockade carried on by the French, British property to a vast amount is locked up and has been locked up for nearly two •years. Why is this permitted? We have known when it would not have been endured. By the last accounts, the French had landed a body of men and taken complete possession of Monte Video. Yet our ships of war, if present at all, are bade to look quietly on. These things remind us of Dr. Croly's celebrated Preface. When the government of England leads to Papacy, or even connives at it, reverses, indignities, and national degradations invariably follow. We must ex pect it.—Lancaster Gazette. HUNT EXTRAORDIN A RY.-011 Friday, as the : deer belonging to Colonel Brown, of the 2d rifles, quartered in 'Windsor, and whose military exploits have before been re corded, was accompanying the :regiment up to relieve guard at the castle, he incautiously quitted the ranks, which being observed by a large Newfoundland dog, named Baby, belong ing to the proprietor of the White Hart Hotel, he gave chase, and was led, at a killing pace, along High-street to Sheet street, where as a bold soldier, the deer wheeled about, and faced his pursuer, and Baby not being altogether thorough bred, and intimidated by the fierce position of the animal, turned tail, but afterwards renewed the chase, at a respectful distance, to the barrack gates, where the noble animal sought and received protection in its own quarters. TAE SEASON.—The proverbial fickleness of our climate has been strikingly illustrated this season, and indeed this week. On Saturday last a friend called and informed us that there was at that time a pear tree, on the estate of Mr. Simpson, in Quernmore, which was then in blossom and was also bearing fruit which had acquired tolerable shape. This for such a remote and hilly neighbourhood, and at such a time of year, is remarkable, as manifesting the mildness of the season. Last week also primroses were blooming in the garden. On Sunday, however, a sharp and nipping frost set in, so that the canal in many parts was coated thinly with ice. On Monday morning the temperature was very low, but with indications of approaching wet, and accordingly about noon rain set in and continued to fall heavily till night. On Tuesday we were again enjoying the mildness of autumn. — Lancaster Gazette. The anti-corn law men are labouring hard in their efforts to bring about a repeal. Agitation of every description is resorted to ; hired lecturers are traversing from town to town ; the radical press is teeming with articles against the landed interest; the working classes are called upon to de mand cheap bread ; and nothing is left undone which can in any manner bring about the repeal of these laws, and the consequent ruin of the landed interest. It therefore behoves all who feel interested in this momentous question, on which the very stability of the country depends, to be on the alert, making preparations for contesting with the repeaters this -great question in the next session of parliament. Petitions should be prepared from every town and village in the king dom, public meetings should be held, the humbler classes of society should be exhorted to co-operate in defending the corn laws as the only means of maintaining for them a fair remuneration for their labour.—Leeds intelligencer. THE BRANDY AND SALT UNIVERSAL PANACEA.—We have had several communications on this subject, and at the request of many of our correspondents we repeat the recipe. For the wonderful properties of the medicine, we refer our readers to our paper of December sth. Method of making the remedy :—Fill a bottle three-quarters full of brandy, after which add as much salt as will till the bottle for corking ; shake it together for ten minutes before it is used; let the salt settle to the bottom, and be particularly careful to use it when clear—the clearer the better. Many persons have made a great mistake in shaking it before it is used. The efficacy is not near so good, and to open sores the application is much more painful, from the particles of salt which are not dissolved in the brandy • but the salt and brandy should remain to gether, and when all the brandy is used off, more may be added to the salt. Though it is ready for use in twenty minutes after it is put together, it is good at any time after, and it is a perfect medicine, as it has the rare quality of being greatly efficacious for either internal or external application. SUICIDE. — The family of Mr. Parke, bookseller, were on Monday morning shocked by the discovery that one of Mr. Parke's apprentices, about fifteen years of age, and of the name of Arthur Kenneth Hay, had committed suicide in the course of the previous evening. The unfortunate youth took tea with the family as usual on Sunday, and went out a short time afterwards, with the intention, it was supposed, of going to a place of worship. At supper time he was absent, and did not make his appsarance in the house afterwards. The body was found quite stiff, in a small room at the top of Mr. Parke's printing office, used merely as a lumber-room, about eight o'clock the next morning, and a pnial bottle was disco vered near, which had contained prussic acid, no doubt the cause of death. The mind of the deceased had latterly seemed to be much unsettled by the reading of socialist pub lications, which he had procured without Mr. Parke's know ledge, and appeared to have studied with much attention. The deceased, who was a youth of considerable promise, was' son of Mr. Thomas Hay, of Shrewsbtiry, and nephew of Mr. W. Hay, silversmith, of this town.—Wolverhampton Chronicle. TIDE TABLE. Mrn.

During the former part of the week there had been released from bond 2600 qrs. of Wheat, 338 qrs. of Barley, 1015 qrs. of Beans, 687 qrs. of Peas, and igso Wis. of Flour.
