Vottrr. THE IMMOVEABLE KINGDOM. A NEW-YEAR ' S EXERCITATION. BY THE REV. J. B. M'CREA. HEBREWS, xii. 28. since first the voice Almighty spake The planets to their spheres, And burning suns began to make Their count of days and years ; What mighty myriads of mankind Have moved this earth upon, That, like the snow-flakes in the wind, Are drifted, thaw'd, and gone ! Not mind of mortal man can tell The victims - of the flood, When Cain's descendants, fair and frail, Had sinn'd with sons of God ; What untold multitudes were slain, By vengeance of the Lord, When on the Cities of the Plain The fervid torrent pour'd. Who can recount the nations gone, When Nimrod's kingdom rose, The germ of that " great Baby lon," The " queen of pride" and woes ? Where are the tyrant Pharaohs now, That Jacob's children tried? And Asshur, that, with haughty brow, The King of kings defied ? Where is the Persians' gorgeous throne, Their armies as the sand ? Where mighty Philip's mightier son, Not Persia could withstand ? Where are the hosts of sanguin'd fame, 'Neath cross and crescent led ; Of Christendom, by sword and flame, The pride, disgrace, and dread? Of martyr'd millions not to think, That died by brand and blade ,• Their blood the mystic harlot's drink, The church's triumph made. With all the souls that into birth Have burst from age to age, Unspoken done their part o earth, And glided off the stage. Gone all, just as a wither'd leaf, Or insect on the stream : Their being, glory, history brief As half-forgotten dream. One kingdom, 'mid the wrecks of time, In growing glory stands ; Cities and palaces sublime, Unbuilt by human hands. Deeper its firm foundations be, Than ocean's caves descend ; And further than remotest sea, Its unknown bounds extend. Its conquering subjects daily bring Their trophies to its gates ; And here an everlasting King With grace unwearying waits. When quench'd the sun's unwasted ray, And stars have ceased to shine, Shall flourish through eternal day, This kingdom all divine. LITERARY NOTICES. Tie Foreign Quarterly Review. January, 1840. London : Black and Armstrong, 8, Wellington-street (North), Strand. It is some time since we have been favoured with a copy of this very able review. The contents of the present num ber justify us in attributing to it a greatly improved charac ter. The first article, on " Euripides and the Greek Drama: its Musical and Religious Importance." is very cleverly and learnedly written ; but we cannot assent to many of the opinions advanced by the writer. His views on the subject of religion are very loose and theoretical. The review of " Shubert's Travels in the East" possesses considerable interest. The elaborate remarks on the " Indications of Philosophic Progress in America" are evidently froin the pen of a Unitarian, or something more. We have been highly delighted with the excellent article on " Architecture at Home and Abroad." It furnishes much information of great value, both to the professional as well as the general reader. Much curious research is displayed in the paper on the " Identity of English, Classical, and Oriental Literature and Interests." We think many, if not all, of the grave questions which the writer has strung together might be answered on reference to the Scripture history of the confu sion of tongues at Babel. The etymological quibbles in the review of Deschappelles' work on whist have afforded us much amusement. The article on " The Apocryphal Books of Isaiah and Enoch" abounds with much curious matter, that will give great delight to the scholar and antiquarian. The statesman may derive much benefit from the perusal of " Turkey, Egypt, France, Russia, Asia, and the British Ministry." We do not concur in all the views of the wri ter : but he has put on record some valuable truths, to which it will be well for this country to pay a prompt attention. We particularly recommend a perusal of the remarks on the relations of this country with China. Under the head of " Music at Home and Abroad," we are furnished with a large fund of interesting information from all quarters of the globe. The writer has displayed great diligence in the collection of his materials, as well as tact and judgment in their arrangement. Corifestious of Harry Lorrequer. No U. Dublin : W Curry, Jun. and Co. The inimitable Harry, much to the regret of admiring thousands, has brought his amusing adventures to an abrupt conclusion. The regret is not, however, unmixed with a feeling of satisfaction at the happy termination of his trials and anxieties. The last chapter leaves him, after all his sin gular " ups and downs," and " moving accidents by flood and field," a Benedict. The scenes at Munich, described in this part, are exceedingly droll. The ruse by which he ob tains the hand of Lady Jane is capitally managed. We re joice to find that the pen that has afforded us so much amuse ment in Harry Lorrequer, is now engaged in preparing Charles O'Malley, or, the Irish Dragoon, for the press. We anticipate a very rich treat from the forthcoming work. We must not omit to mention that " Phiz," in the illustra tions of the number before us, has outdone himself. The Art-Union. No. 12. London :W. West, 1, Cathe rine•street, Strand. This excellent periodical is expressly devoted to the fine arta, and contains a succession - of ably-written essays, cri tiques, and reports, on matters connected with painting, sculpture, engraving, and architecture. It furnishes a de tailed account of all the exhibitions, metropolitan and pro vincial ; of the progress of foreign art ; and of all new pub lications, at home and abroad, connected with the fine arts. Many of the lighter articles in the Art-Union are from the talented pen of Mrs. S. C. Hall, whose husband, we believe, is the editor. The extended circulation of this spirited jour nal must have an unfailing tendency to improve and elevate the national taste. NORWICH UNION FIRE INSURANCE SOCIETY ESTABLISHED 1821. At the Annual Meeting of the Proprietors of this Society, held at the Office in Surrey-street, Norwich, on Tuesday, the 15th day of January, pursuant to notice in the Gazette, and also in the Norwich newspapers, called to receive the Report of the Board of Directors, Edward Temple Booth, Esq. Pre sident of the Society, in the Chair— , The Secretary (Samuel Bignold, E sq . ) Michaelmas cash ac counts for the eighteenth year, ending at last, and also a statement as collated with the returns furnished to the Stamp Office of the aggregate amount of the property insured by this Society. The President then addressed the Members, and state d that he had the hig h gratification of meeting th em with a most favourable Report. That the Directors, after the most careful consideration of the present state of the affairs of the Society, had resolved to appropriate the sum of £30,000. profits for the past year, of which £lB,OOO. would be devis able at the next triennial return amongst the Insurers, and £12,000. became the exclusive property of the Proprietors, 46000. thereof being put to their reserved fund, and £6OOO. being applied for the annual dividend, which for the present year would be £3. 15s. per share, or £l2l. per cent. on the Paid-up capital. The President then adverted to the present state of the Office, which he stated was in every respect most prosperous, for the reserved fund , belonging _ exclusively to the Proprietors now amounted to £ 45,434 • over and above the original capital £66,000.and that this had accrued wholly from the past profits of the Institution. That there was £36,000. in the insurance fund, Also consisting of realized profits, applicabl e to f uture returns to the policy holder s, he ' surplu s b a l ance of £12,800. after providing for .every contingency to th e cred i t of the Society on its accounts at the commencement of the current year, which would end at next. Michaelmas ' fhe Pre s id ent further called attention to the fact, that the premiums of years increased on an average i n surance had in the last ten year's increase exceeding 4 ( 1) 0. £2OOO. per annum, the last Mr. Joseph Stannard inquired when the term of the So ciety's partnership expired, and an , ,wered that it termi nated on the 6th of August, Ism, which period all the sav i n gs now forming the reserve fun n a i a , d a s thereto, whatever ad ditions might in the mean time be ereto, would be distributed pro rata amongst the holders of the £2,200. shares. The Secretary (Mr. Bignold) entered at great leng l t l .h into the concerns of the Societ y , which he described, bot as to the extent of its business and in its results, to be prosperousu beyond all former pre cedent. Mr. Bi g nold dw elt 111.1 y on the fact that th e business now amounted to i - fifty seven millions, of which u p wards of nine millions w as ( agricultural property alone, being one-fifth of the whole sum insured by all the offices collectively (45 in number) on that species of property. That the yearly premiums had risen to £ 7 7,766. That the nrotits of the Office had in the two last years enabled the Directors to apportion between the Insured and the Shareholders £60,000, three-fifths belonging to the former class, and two-fifths to the latter. That the Proprie_ tors' dividend had now for two years amounted to £l2i per cent. on the capital paid up, causing an annual distribution of £8250, whilst the prospect on the year iu which we were now entered gave promise, from the small amou nt of losses, to equally favourable results. The Secretary added, "We have had no litigation; all is smooth and tranquil over our vast connexion. The p ar ti cu l ars spo k en to are facts on which t he Norwich Union Society may challenge comparison with tiny other similar Society in the kingdom." It was then moved by John Stracey, Esq. (one of the So ciety's Trustees), seconded b y William I{ackham, Esq., and unanimously resolved— That it be referred to the Directors tog i te into consider ation the services of the Secretaries, w ss, which kf i e s great increase of the Society's business, reference to the i millions sn sinceear y fifty-seven millions, and has advanced twelve in any addition has been made to their remuneration. E. T. BOOTH, Chairma n. The President having l eft the chair, i t was moved by Ed ward Browne, Esq., of H.ethersett, seconded by Wm. Martin Seppings, Esq., and unanimously resolved— That the thanks of this meetiug be given to the Directors and Officers of the Society, for their successful coiiduct of its affairs, and particularly to the President (Mr. Booth), for thh ability with which he has discharged ,the duties of Chair as'this day.—Norwieh Mercury. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Scottish Standard.) TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAIN! ARID TO THE FRESS, THE MOST POWERFUL ORGAN OF DIRECTION or, PER VERSION. This may seem a most magniloquent address, but it is exactly the address required by the subject, and no more ; for the subject is one of VITAL interest to the STATE, and, of course, to the WHOLE PEOPLE; and it is through the press alone that I can be heard—and, if it be at all deserving to be heard—it should be through the whole press. The subject I am to speak of is the CORN-LAW ; that question that has been argued so long, as to have become at last inexplicable in the general apprehension ; but the reason is, it has seldom been argued aright. The study of the sub ject for twenty-five years, and, during all that time, comparing my, reasonings with events, enables me to say, that upon this subject THE PEOPLE ARE DECEIVED, by thOse who would tempt them to relinquish the mainstay of this state and its reasonable protection,—l mean our NATIVE AGRI ' CULTURE. _ _ The existence of an anti-corn law league in England has long been known; it is now extended to Scotland. It is seeking support by the most 'extraordinary exertions, and it is receiving it. In the meantime, the farmers of the country seem to consider themselves bound not to stir in the matter, because they have been led to regard all questions of public policy, and on which there may be differences of opinion as PARTY POLITICS ; and the landowners seem not to stir in it, either because the prejudices against them, having been raised to phrenzy, they have no hope ; or because they trust to their influence in parliament. The events of a very few months back should teach the landowners, that the distrust that has long been inculcated as to PRINCES, may now he extended to PARLIAMENTS ; and as the farmers, if they stand to their Shibboleth, they will find themselves like the Jews in their last siege—who were massacred by thousands on the Sabbath, because they believed it unlawful even to " do good on the Sabbath." I set out by admitting that there are many men of the most respectable character as men, and men of business, intent on aiding the anti-corn law league ; but their opinions are, as it were, the. opinions of the day; that a PRO-CORN-LAW advo cate, may seem almost a man standing alone and crying in the wilderness ; and yet I profess myself such an one—and say again, the people are deceived. I do not build anything upon the fact, that the anti-corn law league has lately been defeated here in all quarters by Chartism, because that is merely a side-wind ; but the finding themselves called " RASCALS," and this with every appear ance of the deepest sincerity, by the men they say they wish to benefit, and whom, I believe, they wish to benefit, should make them consider whether in some part of their arguments, either as economists or statists, there is not a flaw which these men can see. I think there are many which these men see, and more which they do not see ; and I shall endeavour, very briefly, to establish some of them. At a late attempted meeting in Edinburgh, for the abolition of the protection to agriculture, a pamphlet was left for dis tribution in the hall, of which I received a copy. It gives out FOURTEEN PROPOSITIONS, every one of which is liable to objection on some ground :—that is, either as inapplicable truisms, as unsound assumptions, as false conclusions from premises perhaps correct, or as contradictions of forgone positions. It is, of course, impossible here to enter into them all; but some of them will obtrude themselves in the sequel, and of them I may speak. It is impossible, also, in the compass of a paper like this, to establish an argument like this. It , will be enough to raise doubts of the arguments held to be established against it. Ist. They say agriculture is the creature of manufactures. This is of little consequence, but it is untrue. They may as well say the father is the child of.his son. It is true the son may, Yiy (glance, enrich the father ; but that does not alter their relation, nor is it the necessary or the usual course. 2d. They say next, that it is by excluding manufactures from the market of the world, that the agriculture of this country flourishes as it does. But with equal reason, at least, might the agriculturist say, that it is by excluding him self from the markets of the world, that the most important and extensive manufactures of this country, ever came to have an.existence- 3d. They say, that were protecting duties upon corn re moved, we should have CHEAP CORN. I answer, more Scot tie°, has the, protection of the manufacture of cotton goods, led to dearth in those goods? No. It has, on the contrary, not only lowered them in this country, but over the world. It has given us all of that manufacture that we possess ; and that is considered so important, that now it arrogates to be almost alone considered, in the arrangements of the state. Has the protection afforded to the manntacture of iron, given us dearer iron ? No. It has cheapened iron universally. Has it given us an inferior article? No. On the contrary, no artizan will now lay his hammer upon foreign iron, if he can procure iron the manufacture of this country; and that manufacture is every day, that every hour of the day and night, extending and improving, and directly or indirectly it is supporting millions. So was our manufacture of cloth ori ginated ; so that of silk ; so that of almost every important ingredient of wealth or, of existence. And can protection and encouragement, so useful as to every thing else, be baleful only as to CORN ? Quite the reverse, though it is one of the insanities of the hour to hold so, as I shall by and by esta blish. 4th. They say, not only. would the removal of protection from agriculture give cheap bread, but cheap bread would give cheap labour, and a new and inconceivable impulse to manufactures commonly so called. All these are given out in the most dogmatical manner ; as irrefragable truths ; they are the staple of the arguments for removing the protection from agriculture in this country : and they are all untrue. I shall prove this as to the most important of these positions, namely, that " cheap bread would give cheap labour," from the very pamphlet left in the hall of the late meeting, as fol lows—" The price of labour (says that pamphlet) is not re gulated much, if at all, by the price of food. It is regulated almost entirely by the demand and supply of labour !"—and this is perfectly true. Labour is cheap abroad, not because food is cheap, but because there is nothing to pay for them. sth. They say, that were the corn protection abolished " there would be at once and permanently an additional de mandfor our goods. By our consenting to buy corn from abroad, for instance, foi eigners would be enabled to indulge proportionally in the purchase of our cotton and other com modities—our commercial navy would also be encreased," &c. Now, is not this all mere theory? Foreigners begin not to like our goods, and they say there is cause they have determined to manufacture fur themselves as far as they can ; and this is the natural and inevitable course. But supposing this theory realized to the fullest extent, cui Bono where would be the profit ? I say there would not only be no profit, but there would be AN IMMENSE and RUINOUS Loss ! The reason is this. CORN IS a MANUFACTURE just as much as cloth. I said this many years ago, both of corn and all agricultural produce—and it is now admitted. 2d. Corn is a manufacture WHOLLY NATIVE. We have no deduction to make from it, for staple or accessory. ALL that we save by manufacturing CORN is GAIN. Are our "cottons and other commodities" native I Suppose we pay for corn in cottons, how much do we, as a nation, gain by that ? Have we not to deduct the price of the raw cotton ? the expense of pur chasing and bringing it home ? duty ? transport to the seat of manufacture ? tear and wear of machinery ? carriage for ex port? expense for export? sale? insurance? expense of purchasing and transporting the corn, &c. &c. ? In short, we gain nothing as a nation, by the manufacture of cotton, but the price obtained for labour ; a very inconsi derable proportion of the whole article. Suppose we pay only 20s. a quarter for corn, hi cotton goods, still, all is paid in capital except the mere labour ; although part of that capital may have been paid in America, part in this kingdom, and part abroad, still it has been paid : and of the 20s. price, 15s. at least are capital, and only ss. gain ; perhaps not one half. Now, by raising corn for ourselves, we have the whole for our labour, the whole is gain. The gain from farming, too, is not only all gain, but certain gain to the State. The sale of manufactures may often, and in an infinity of cases does, lead to actual loss to the State. There is loss to the state the moment that the price obtained fails to equal the original materials, and the charges of importing and exporting, tear and wear of machinery, and interest of capital ; and this happens much oftener than is supposed. In short, manufactures, except from native materials, give immense room for juggling, and in many casses are a JUGGLE MERELY, Though the mere manufacturer, after grinding the bones of his pauper dependents into his painted trash, which he never expects to see purchased by people in their senses, may make an ample fortune, the merchant may rea lize not one sixpence ; and if the trash rots abroad, as much of it does, the whole is a dead loss to the country. By agri culture she can never lose. Even if her agriculturist could be turned into a manufacturer, therefore, and made depen dent upon the vicissitudes of trade, from change of taste, bad patterns, bad prints, bad materials, bad texture, everything that a reckless man can do to swell his own gains (and there are some such), regardless of the interest or character of the country, is he not deserting a sure and gainful trade, in na tive materials, for a trade wholly uncertain in its gains, and even in its existence, and based on foreign materials ? He is. But, 6th, say that it is gainful to prosecute manufactures for export (as to the extent of what can be obtained for la bour, I admit it is), does the production of our native agri culture repress this ? It is said it does. I say no ;. and I will show immediately that I am correct. I have spoken of the gainful nature of agriculture, and it may be shewn at once from this, that whatever isfraised be yond the seed sown, is all gain to the STATE. It is clear to the dullest comprehension, that paying capital for agricui tural produce, creates a tremendous loss ; and I have shewn that our payments in manufactures are only a little mitigat ed ; that is, by what we can contrive to obtain for labour. I did not then state, however, what I now state, that by pay ments in manufactures, we may pay much more than in money ; because if we pay in a depreciated manufacture, twice the money price may be embarked in materials, and expenses of manufacture and export, apart from the only paying ingredient, that of labour. By raising corn for our selves, we eva d e al l poss ibili ty o f l oss o f capital to any extent; and ca Pitar, as they say, produces capital. As our opponents admit that price in everything depends upon demand and supply, is the agriculture of Great Bri tain, indisputably the most efficient in the world, in spite of all drawbacks, likely to raise price, or to lower it ? Can there he any doubt that it lowers it, when we consider that eight quarters an acre are often produced here ; while on the con tinent (according to William Chambers, himself a free trade man) the ground is often hardly scratched, by cows yoked by the horns ! 3d. Is bread the only ingredient entering into the food of man, and, consequently, into the price of labour ?—Must we notpt add house- ren t ( not paya bl e to the l an d -owners) , f ue l, i othes, drinks, and all colonial products, including their enormous taxes ? 4th. if cultivation does not cheapen bread, (which I say it does), does it not cheapen butcher's meat, vegetables, l ea ther, tallow, and woo tie our opponents say no ! that by cultivation "we diminish extent W pasture land ; and limit the rearing of black cattle and sheep." Can these men know, that by c ultiv ation we raise tons of provisions both for man and beast, from acres that but for cultivation would hardly yield pounds ? • That by the interstitial e crops um ntthe ftounrd- sessa r i 1 y accompanying the rai s i ng o f coy i t c ' e:Skre, moreknow wi d ) inr n, these grass, i p m o a s possibly l b e y nips, potatoes , a nd ve g etables, of every c,tnl h d of cattle as well as men, are raised, compensated by pasture, exclusive of th e pro ducts of corn and straw.

Loss to the country by pasturing or exactly thirty-Seven times the sum that would be lost by the laxdowner ! As a general position, the landowner's inte rest is only one, and a trivial one .comparatively,' of very many interests. By the Assessments to which be is liable, I particularly in some parts of Scotland, for county and paro chial burdens, roads, and bridges, &c., his interest is often reduced to a mere fraction. The fact that land seldom yields four per cent. on purchase money, shows that either the interest is not considerable, or it is overpaid for. Both are perhaps true. The original character of landlord was rather administrative than lucrative. It was a post of ho nour, and it is still regarded as such, and paid for accordingly. It may be that in many of the efforts that have been made for the encouragement of agriculture, the landowners have had an eye to their own interest. lam not aware that there is, or can be, any other general motive of action. But when we see them, with equal vigour at least, applying themselves to the promotion of every species of manufacture promising to be useful to the country, and protecting them by every rate of duty, from one to one hundred per cent., or by abso lute exclusion if that seemed' necessary; and paying those duties themselves, either - directly, for their families and es : . tablishments. or indirectly through every one paying them rent, I cannot but think that they acted from national feel ings ; and it is clear they have produced the most splendid national results ; for, by protecting and encouraging agri culture, they have covered the country with beauty and fer tility, and enabled it to raise up those manufactures that have so greatly augmented its comfort, and perhaps its wealth, though not to the extent they now arrogate, nor authorising the engrossing preference they so insanely seek. Does HOLLAND, a country naturally so much more commer cial than BRITAIN, yet despise its soil? No. It cultivates every patch. Why should not Britain ? It could be so much better employed, say our opponents. Show us that I I am decidedly of opinion that, even in Britain, AGRICULTURE is the vine—manufacture (commonly so called) the branches. The proprietor of a Highland estate, only to a small extent arable, seeing the difficulty his tenant had, in conquering the effects of the late unfavourable season asked him why be cultivating,did not at once give up the idea of iltivating, depending wholly on pasture ? The man's answer was, I think instruc tive—" By cultivating, I can maintain my family and esta blishment in comfort ; by pasture, I would not have the means of maintaining myself; for the acre that at present yields me five or six bolls of victual, could not, in the space of three years, pasture a sheep ; and what could I purchase with that ? It is true we must labour for it; but in every event we must labour ; and perhaps at something not so sure ?" This man's answer may stand for that of the country. His case is ours. He cared nothing about protec tion—be only wished to be allowed to labour. But had rents declined, his landlord must have enlarged his farms, till by diminishing the number of families, and lessening the ex pense of looking after the flocks, he might have drawn the former income, or as near it as possible, from one farm, as from many. In this way the landlord would have lost no thing—perhaps lie might have gained ; but the country would have lost strength in the loss of several industrious families ; and wealth in the products that maintained them. It is true, a manufacturer or two, for the foreign market, might have replaced the twenty or thirty agriculturists lost; but I am-to learn that we ought in any sense, to have " doated on the Exchange." Your space will not allow me to go farther at present. I shall show in a subsequent paper, that the rage at present ex hibited to destroy our agriculture, proceeds not only from ignorance as to the value and necessity of agriculture to this country, but also from being ignorant, that it is not the protec tion aflbrded to agriculture, that is raising the price of its products, but an utter disregard to the operations of those who are allowed to interpose themselves between the grower and consumer, and that manufactures, so far as they are repressed, are repressed to a great extent, by the fault of manufacturers themselves and their dependents. D. BAIN. THE MANCHESTER ANTI-CORN-LAW DEMON- STRATION. (From the Kentish Gazette.) A " grand" meeting of the enemies of the farmer took place at Manchester a few days ago. Twenty-seven members of parliament attended, to give their name and weight against the corn-laws, and, singular enough, not one of them holds an acre of arable land in the country. These are certainly the right sort of men to sit in judgment on the farmer. If land realised only a shilling an acre, what would it signify to them ? They might, with the rest of the community, be in direct sufferers, but the demon of ruin would have spent itself ere it reached their dwellings.

(From the Spectator) In the bill now prepared, or in preparation, for naturaliz ing the Queen's future husband, it is proposed to give a power for conferring precedence upon Prince Albert above her Ma jesty's uncles, the Dukes of the Blood Royal. This, we believe, would be not only unprecedented, but contrary to all principle applicable to such matters. By the common law the Sovereign might confer on his subjects whatsoever place and precedency he thought proper ; but it has been held that the statute 31st Henry VIII. for " placing the lords," re strains the crown from granting to a peer a higher place than the date of his patent would entitle him to claim ; and under the Acts of Union with Scotland and Ireland, the crown can not, by its own authority, grant to persons not peers prece dency over peers, or assign to any peer a place higher than belongs to the date of his creation. An act of parliament, therefore, becomes necessary to enable her Majesty to bestow upon Prince Albert the rank and precedence destined for him in the royal inclination. Should parliament pass the bill for the purpose mentioned, it will become a party to the degradation of the Blood Royal. Next to the King, the Royal Family are held in highest consideration by the law. Although the wives of the King's sons, grandsons, brothers, and nephews, are held to be part of the Royal Family, the law does not invest with the same character the husband of any female relation whatever, not even of the sovereign's only child, heiress presumptive to the crown. The constitution takes no cognizance of any male relation of the Royal Family by marriage; limiting its regards to those who may succeed to the throne, or from whom the right of succession may be derived. For these reasons, members of the Blood Royal have always occupied a higher station in the country than any other persons what soever save the sovereign, and have never been postponed in rank to any others. By the common law and by the statute their rank has been fixed ; and to place any person between them and the throne is a violation of an established right, if not inconsistent with the principles on which the English monarchy is founded. No similar usurpation to that now in contemplation has ever been attempted. The English history furnishes no in stance of any person not of the Blood Royal taking prece dence of the Blood Royal ; and we can only discover three cases in which individuals have been placed above the Arch bishop of Canterbury and the Great Officers of State. Prince George of Denmark was invested by the statute Ist William and Mary with that privilege • but his son, the young Duke of Gloucester, ranked before his own father, because he was of the Blood Royal. After Queen Anne came to the throne, Prince George, her husband, obtained no higher rank. The Princess Sophia, her son, the Elector of Hanover, and the Duke of Cambridge his son, were authorised to take place before the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Great Officers of State, the Dukes and other Peers, by an act pasSed in the 10th of Anne. Prince Leopold of -Saie,,Coburg obtained a similar precedence by act of parliament—the exception of the Dukes of the Blood Royal being especially named in his case. Thus it appears that there is neither principle, law, nor practice in favour of the measure by which it is proposed to thrust aside the Dukes of the Blood Royal to make a place for Prince Albert nearest to a throne which his birth forbids that he should ever inherit. The thing may be done, nevertheless. The Whig minis ters are ready to gratify the Queen in this matter. Will they, indeed, stick at any thing to retain the Royal favour ? The Duke of Sussex has been applied to for his consent ; his Royal Highness has not refused, and it is thought that promise of the additional income so shabbily denied to him last session might, in a peat degree, overcome his scruples. The Duke of Cambridge has undertaken to waive his claims ; and it is not unlikely that his complaisance may be rewarded by the command of the army. His Majesty the King of Hanover, heir presumptive to the Crown of these realms, may not be so easily sopped ; he is the person most particularly affronted by the intrusion of a stranger into a place never before occu pied save by a prince or princess of the Royal Blood. As to the House of Commons, their consent may be relied upon ; a majority of five, or of two, will be sufficient, Our curiosity is to see how the Lords will act. Will they agree to degrade the Blood Royal of England ?—will they be won over to sanction a violation of the principles of the monarchy? If the Royal Dukes consent to be degraded, and Lords and Commons are ready to aid in the Prince's elevation above the children of George the Third, so be it. But let there be no complaint in future of popular want of veneration for "il lustrious" blood. MACHINE FOR STONE-CUTTING. An important invention we saw in operation to-day at the marble manufactory in Wilson-street, near Broad. A newly invented stone-dressing machine, which promises, so far as we could judge, to be an improvement of great utility in this branch of the mechanic arts. It consists of an immense frame of cast iron, 23 feet in length by 5 in breadth, and 5 feet high, with its contents and appurtenances, weighs nearly ten tons. Within this frame are two long cast iron cylinders, of about 20 inches or 2 feet diameter, in one of which is in serted, in spiral lines, a number of hammers or chisels, tem pered and shaped to suit the purpose of cutting away the stone, which they do with admirable exactness, striking the surface in quick succession, as the cylinder passes over it. These cylinders have three distinct movements, one rotary, one perpendicular„ and one horizontal. The second cylinder covered with emory, and intended for polishing, moves with great velocity, and finishes the work in the handsomest man ner. The gearing is so arranged with screws, that the ma chine feeds itself while in operation, upon the same principle that a log upon the carriage of a saw mill feeds the saw—with this difference only, that the stone remains stationary and the horizontal movement is performed by the cylinder, which, being fixed in a similar frame work, slides upon the great frame which contains the stone. This stone dresser, as we judge, will perform the work of. aidoce.ahftog.cig,frtsiageer chisels agsyo t r, t ta:ghnl,cotitys.ugn whichetes in n a c n tan d ne may:.cbe tt donebi n e used g :by by hand. cylinder, d o s e r n r almost almostß y e v e e r e yh everya s n p g e ke c i inee kind machine a r a n nc a hb m ien e ee n x t ei a lc l aust eb work, deelvni t hstiurcslti facility.sea t s u g p r o i o nt v i iosnuagr,gcrflistetyei gratifying and that it has been taken in I si v elo n u c i l ml b dp y a public spirited and wealthy become e e g o e l ne th ra e l. i inve i . h n e tio t n m .. d i y s a c i i i t x iz io en us , N t v h h a o cits aw b a ei r i e efi o t f s t and expensive process of preparing stone for building pur poses, Ly hand, has caused this material to be much less used than we hope and expect to see it hereafter.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY EVENING. Either owing to the boisterous weather, or the near ap proach to the day when the acceptance must be made known for the Chester Cup, there was next to nothing accomplished this day at noon, nor has much life since been perceptible in the betting. The Cheshire baronet's horse, with Sst. 61b, and the certainly favoured Cruiskeen, are decidedly the fa vourites ; and few will exceed by one fraction the figures attached. Abraham Newland, king Cole, the Dey of Al giers, Imogene, Retriever, Tamburini, St. Bennett, Captain Pops, George, the Feather weight" (Colonel Peel's roan by Augustus), Sir Ralph, Caravan, and Mr. Speed's horse, have all to our knowledge been supported more or less. On the other hand, Lanercost. The Doctor, Lightfoot, The Dean, and Malvolio, are atprssent so out of all fashion, that their owners or trainers might have sealed the letters of " resignation." On Friday we stated that 10 would be given versus the field : it is requisite to state that the half score would now be willingly accepted in the very best quar ter, or 50 to 20 that five defeat the field ; it was offered to be laid at 30.

THE OAKS.—No betting to-day. SECOND EDITION. Standard-office, Eight o'Clock. SOUTHWARK ELECTION-YESTERDAY. (From the London Standard of Last Evening.) The polling for this borough commenced at eight o'clock this morning. The only candidates were Mr. Walter and Mr. Wood. Placards were posted through out the Borough announcing Mr. Curling's retirement from the contest, and calling upon his friends and sup porters to vote for Mr. Wood: The following was the state of the poll at the hours mentioned : STATE OF THE POLL. TEN O'CLOCK. Wood Walter ELEVEN O'CLOCK. Wood Walter 1232 1019 TWELVE O'CLOCK. Wood Walter ONE O'CLOCK Wood Walter TWO OSCLOCK. Wood , Waiter THREE O'CLOCK. Wood . Walter , CLOSE OF THE POLL, Wood Walter 2052 1504 Mr. Curling, the professedly independent liberal candidate, was bought off early by the ministerialists, when it was too late for a new canvass of his votes by Mr. Walter. TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY. Until four-o'clock the room wa's but thinly attended, and betting flat, its only novelty being the re-appearance of Lord Jersey's non-favourite, Glenorchy, who was backed in four or five quarters at 30 to 1, in tens and points. After this hour there was a strong influx of subscribers, and business became unusually animated. It did not close until half-past six. The difference between the two principal favourites at the close was very trifling; 14 to 1 having been offered cur rently against Theon during the whole of the afternoon, 16 to 1 taken about Angelica colt, and 1000 even laid betwixt them. We should not have been surprised had 15 to 1 been offered on the field, to have seen Angelica colt taken in pre ference to the north country nag ; 7 to 1 about the two would have been accepted. Bokhara was backed early in the after noon at 17 to 1, and we are informed that 2,000 to 120 was also. taken ;- this bet, however, we are unable to trace. Launcelot opened at 18 to 1 (t), and at this price he con tinued until a considerable number of the subscribers had left, after which two points more were laid :three or four times. Confederate's party, not quite " convinced," in.. creased their investment to a considerable extent. at 18 to 1, at which quotation he commenced and finished ; we believe these odds might have been obtained at the close. Muley Ishmael was backed for a small sum at 20 to 1 ; and, from the number of inquiries made we expect to see him " go-a '•head" ere long. Gambia, after a short reign, abdicated-25 to 1 was betted at the beginning, and five points more at the end; there was a woeful falling off in the number and.fond ness of his partisans. Ottoman, as might have been antici pated from the termination of the betting on Thursday last, " came again" in great force ; 25 to 1 was taken to a large amount, and when we left it was a question if any one would have laid so much against him by a couple of points. There was no other change in this race beyond the decline of Assassin to his old position, nor was anything [done on the Oaks worth dwelling on.

We heard a few years agoof the terrible discovery referred to ; and we have since heard that the efficacy of this frightful means of war has been tested and admitted by commissioners appointed by the Govern ment. "The mischiefs of neglect already committed externally are known. A more serious point we now bring under con sideration. It has been public and notorious, that experi ments of a most formidable character as to projectiles have been made ; that in England this has gone so far as to ne cessitate a great change in our defensive system. This has been confessed by those best calculated to judge ; has been examined in scientifically, by official order, years ago. Cer tificates, couched in terms it would be difficult to surpass, have declared that the invention is far beyond any effort of information ; that the existence of Great Britain depends upon it, that the fate of the navy must go with it whereever it is carried by the inventor ; royal sanction has been given ; the royal signature pledged, and for years, to the individual. Everything that words could.,proinise, or incredulity require, has been exacted ; and every proof demanded has been given, till doubt was converted into admiring consternation. " Why is this power, against which all resistance, even that of the strongest fortifications, is impossible, still unob tained for the country ? " Is it to be allowed to go' to other countries, for them to turn it against a country they envy, and would fain destroy ? Where lies the obstruction, then ? Is it really in that one sole quarter where inactivity and imbecility have been so often and so justly charged of late? The whigs boast of economy; and the saving consequent on adopting this invention is ad mitted to amount to millions ; enough to pension off all those who might suffer by the change, and still produce a vast dimi nution of expenditure to the nation, as well as secure it against all contingencies for the future. Why then is all this thrown aside ? Is it that the services of the present head of the Ad mirality are so valuable, that even millions, annually saved, would not console the nation for his single loss ? STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER.—There was not quite so much business doing yesterday, as on the preceding Tuesday, and price, both of goods and yarn, may be considered a shade lower than on that day. The' diminution in demand appears to have arisen from the rapid decline in the price of cotton, at Liverpool, last week, and the uncertainty of the buyers as to the extent to which that reduction may proceed, rather than from any real deterioration in,this market. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, JAN. 20. The flannel market to-day has been more than usually dull, and the sales have been very limited. Work begins to be scarce, and the labouring classes are at the present time suf fering great privations. Some twelve months ago, a dwel ling house could with difficulty be obtained ; but now, " this house to be let," is posted in every part of the town.—ln the wool market there is no change to report : prices remain firm. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, JAN. 21.—This market pre sented much the same appearance as last week, there being considerable inquiry after most descriptions of woollen and fancy goods. The sales effected were not extensive, but prices remain firm. Great caution is exercised by all parties, and the severe struggle will doubtless terminate in a gradual advance in the price of goods. Wools are in tolerable de mand. In' short, it is evident there is a gradual but very slow change for the better ; but little confidence of permanent improvement is entertained without a complete repeal of the corn laws.—Manchester Guardian. BLACKBURN.—. Through the past week our trade has been less animated than during the three or four weeks last pre ceding ; and in some_flescriptions of both yarns and goods, recent prices are barely maintained.—Blackburn Standard.

The sales on Thursday last were 3000 bags, Friday 5000, Saturday 4000, Monday 6000, and to-day 3000. The business done since last week has been considerable, and every disposition is evinced by holders to meet the demand ; exporters have taken rather freely during the last few days. The new crop, of which a quantity has been in the market, appears of excellent quality. Prices remain without change. The week's import amounts to 40,148 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JAN. 21 In addition to the large imports noticed in our report of Tuesday last, we have to report since then, from various sources, a moderate supply of Wheat, Barley, and Oats, a fair quantity of Beans and Pease, with upwards of 12000 sacks of Oatmeal from Ireland, and 11,396 barrels of. Flour from Virginia and New York. The dull accounts received this morning from Mark-lane, ap peared not to produce any further material influence upon the Wheat trade here to-day; on the contrary, as the millers have been. lately on the reserve and needy buyers were obliged to supply their immediate wants, the transactions in the general qualities of Foreign Wheats were effected to a moderate extent at the reduced rates of Friday; and although in English little business was done, and Irish new was almost wholly negleCted. the market closed rather more firmly for the two former descriptions.—All kinds of free Flour con tinued to meet a very limited demand on rather lower terms; and bonded samples, still moving oft slowly, were offered at 208 per . _ barrel.—Barley and Malt remaine —Beahs dull of sale at the decli Scarcely obtained our last quotati ment in the demand, recot•ered tti Oatmeal, for which the holders reeede, nearly maintained its pre , WHEAT, per 701bs s. d. s. d. 1 English Scotch 9 9 10 9 din sh3W request at former prices. ine above mentioned ; and Pease ions. —Oats, with a little improve. le rates of this day se'nnight ; and were in few instances disposed to vious value.

The Butter trade has been very flat during the last few days, and we think a feeling is evinced to accept less money.—Pickled Butter is still excessively dull at 86s to 87s—the cause we apprehend, is to be found in the unsettled state of South America.—Beef and Pork only required for ship stores, in which way the former sells at :05s to 112 s 6d per cwt. for Prime Mess and the latter at 75s per barrel. —Bacon is firmly held at last quotations, say 48s to 50s. An opinion obtains that there will be considerable activity in this branch of the trade ere long. The operations in the London market are to a large amount.
