And are we to believe the charlatans wlid tell us that as war is the worst of crimes, nationality is the most foolish of dreams? Shall we not still continue to think that the shores and the valleys of our country are dearer and more beautiful than the shores and the valleys of all the world besides ?

It will at once be seen that Mr. Maccall con demns what he conceives to be wrong, or injustice, with no sparing hand. So generous and . deVoted s' disciple of the True, he abhors the False ; and, like another David, hurls 'the sling and stone of fervent denunciation against the Golialis of Pro gress, Whether iri Russia, or elsewhere. We com mend him for his daring, honest, and outspoken spirit; - Were there many such' men, the world would be the better. We shall close this - notice of Mr. Maccall's pam phlet by the following brief but graphic description of France and its manners - " The French are a great and gallant people : none so willing to admit that as I; but they are not a poetic or original people. They are satisfied if they can put the stamp of 'fashion on whatever they approach, but with the essence of things they do not bother themaelves much. They have more ingenuity than talent, more talent than genius ; and though in their epic moments, their revolutionary outbursts, there is no nation so stupendous and imposing ; yet,. in their normal existence, they are satisfied if they can make-.women all over Europe wear 'pre posterous bonnets, liker fat and dropsical pigtails, than anything 'else; and the men preposterous trowsers, which look as if the wearers had stolen the coverlets of patches made by' their grand mothers, cut them with a carving knife, and pastod the shreds with treacle into Siamese twin bags." There, reader, what do you think of that ? Does it not equal anything in "Thackeray's Lectures ?" In the case of the Maitlands and the Gloucester, Aberyst with and Central Wales Railway, the Lords Justices have decreed for £40,878 against Maitland the elder, and for £20,046 13s. 8d against Maitland the younger. In the appeal case of Bryson, and the Warwick and Bir mingham Canal Navigation Company, the Lords Justices have dismissed the appeal with costs. Mr. G. V. Brooke, the eminent tragedian, has distributed among the poor of all persuasions in 'Belfast, upwards of 1-30 pairs of blankets through the clergy of the town of all the churches. It is Mr. Brooke's habit to offer a similar benefaction each Christmas to the poor of tho town in which he happens to be located. CI itimus GIFTS,—A benevolence originating with Mr. H. Neil, Surgeon, who has had in the establishment of it valuable aid and co-operation from Mr. R. C. Gardner was yesterday manifested in Abercromby Ward. Upon that occasion about 80 tons of coal were distributed by the con servative committee of the ward through Mr. Christian to nearly 300 of the old and poor inhabitants. A- private letter from Madrid mentions that a duel has taken place between the Marquis de Turgot (the French ambassador at that Court) and Mr. Soule (son of the Ameri can Minister). M. de Turgot was severely wounded. 'rho cause of quarrel is not stated. —London _Paper. [The cause of quarrel is known. M. Turgot made some observation on the dress worn by his antagonist's mother, in Mr. Soule's hearing, on which the latter struck him.] Mr. Charles Lowcock, of London-road, has perhaps the best display of meat in that locality.

CAUTION To LADIES.—A respectably dressed, lady-like woman - on the shady side of" forty," but with considerable pretensions to those qualities which tradition assigns to the never-dying widow of that blissful age, was charged at "the police-office, yesterday, by revenue officers Dodd and Har ford, with, in the first instance, attempting to smuggle, and, secondly, with destroying a Queen' s seizure —i n other words, a quart of precious Irish whiskey, of that superlative quality, alas! that a head-ache could not b e found in gallons of it--undcr the following circumstances : When the " Iron Duke" 'reached the landing-stage on her trip from Dublin, the prosecutors observed the defendant, who gave her name as Mrs. Jane Smith, anxious to prevent sonic of her luggage being examined. One of the officers accordingly followed her to the cabin whither she had retreated, but found nothing in her possession.

The vessel had sustained considerable injury in the gales of Saturday and Sunday, having lost her foremost, main-top-mast, and bowsprit; besides damages to the hull, which induced those on board her to believe she would strike off the Old Head. She was fallen in with by a Queenstown pilot cutter, and subsequently the Eagle steamer was dispatched to her assistance. The schooner was then towed into Queenstown, where she arrived yesterday morning. The captain, mate and crew, after - abandoning the vessel, got ashore at Kin sale, whence they proceeded to Queenstown and arrived yesterday. The value of the cargo was between .15,000 and £16,000..

CHRIST-IMS FOR THE POOR.—A gratifying sight took place this morning at the soup kitchen, in Ham-yard, St. James's. The committee of that institution having deter mined to give to the really deserving poor a dinner to cele brate the return of the most auspicious festival, and their benevolent intentions having been most charitably seconded by the nobility and gentry, they were enabled to carry out their philanthropic object to the fullest extent. The dis tribution of food commenced accordingly at nine this morn ing, which consisted of 41bs. of roasting meat, 21bs. of pudding, half a quartern loaf, and -2 oz of tea, Scaz-Globe of Saturday.

THE author of this pamphlet has been long and, favourably known as an earnest, vigorous, and original writer ; and . his works generally are characterised by broadness of design—depth of thought -- extraordinary energy and exquisite taste. Although we cannot in several respects agree with Mr. Maacall's conclusions, neverthelegs we truly admire his manly sincerity—generous impulses and undoubted genius. We never penised his writings without being benefited thereby, and feeling our hearts stirred up to labour in the cause of humanity with greater devo tion and more untiring zeal. The pamphlet before us is to be chiefly commended for its suggestive ness. It is an elegant and eloquent protestation against popular abuses and errors ; and will net fail to commend itself to the enlightened and liberal reader.

Another body went ashore at the North Bull, and the skeleton of another man was washed ashore at Sandymount. Mr. Davis, the county coroner, to whom the several cases were repor t e d , declined holding any inquests, considering them to have been the bodies of. some of the unfortunate persons lost in the • Queen Victoria steamer, and thrown up by the late storm; and gave orders for theta All to be interred in the churchyards nearest to-where they were - found. - The bodies were mere 'slielettins, and in most instances imperfect:Se - that identification was altogether out of the question.

It is proposed, with the concurrence and under the sanction of the Port Carlisleßailway Company, to .take advantage of this, and to construct a Floating Dock and Harbour at Billoth Bay, and connect the same with the Port Carlisle Railway, by a line, of Railway twelve-and three-quarter-miles in length, joining the Port Carlisle Railway at Drumburgh, thus making the. whole distance from Silloth Bay to Carlisle twenty-one miles. A large and increasing trade is carried on by Newcastle and the dthcr rut La uu the East Coast of England, with the West coast of England and Ireland, which the existing Ports on the West coasts are quite inadequate to accommodate. A great part of the traffic is now conducted in sailing vessels round the South of England or North of Scotland, the former being a distance of about 1,000 miles, whilst if goods carried across from Newcastle to Silloth Bay by railway were shipped there, the distance to Ireland would be under 200 miles. The important and increasing City of Carlisle is now one of the greatest railway centres of the kingdom, —the Lancaster and Carlisle, the Caledonian, the Glasgow and South-Western, the Newcastle and Carlisle, and the Mary port and Carlisle lines t all meeting there, and another line from Hawick to Carlisle, in continuation of the North British is also in contemplation. The projected Harbour at Silloth Bay would be the nearest deep-sea harbour to this great centre of 'railways, and as the Solway Frith in which it is situated runs up so far into the land, as a glance at the Map of England will show, the Carlisle and Silloth Bay'Railway, with the Port Carlisle and Newcastle and Carlisle Railways would form a direct Railway connection between the, Ger-. man Ocean and the 'lrish Sea at the narrowest part of the Island. The Harbour at Silloth Bay would thus afford the readiest and best Port for the coal, coke, and manufactures' of Newcastle and the surroundingidistrict sent to the Irish market. Steamers would also be enabled to ply between Silloth Bay and the ports of Liverpool, Dublin, Belfast, and other ports, by which short and easy passages would be afforded at regular hours, quite independent of the tides. It.fs proposed, in the first, instance, to make a Floating Dock, at Silloth Bay, of about four acres area, which would serve as an Entrance Basin to Docks of a larger area, to be constructed when the increase of trade should require them. The Line from Silloth Bay to Drumburgh, on the Port Carlise Railway, would pass through a fine agricultural country, and ..a ,considerable income from local traffic and passengers may safely be anticipated. A single line only will be laid down in the first instance, but sufficient land will be taken and works constructed for a double line when the same may be found necessary. The landowners are in general strongly in favour of the line, and some of them are upon the Provisional Committee, and promoters of the under taking. The country through which the line passes is per fectly flat and level—there will be no heavy earthwork or expensive works of any kind—and it is estimated that, allowing liberally for all contingencies, the total costs of the Railway, including the purchase of l an d, w ill not excee d 65,000, bei ng a t the rate of £5,000 per mile. Contrac tors of undoubted respectability are ready to undertake the construction of the line for this sum. The Estimates for the Dock and Harbour have been pre pared byafr. J. B. Hartley, of Liverpool, Hho has had great experience in the planning and carrying out of such works. They amount to £60,500. The total estimated cost of the works will thus stand as follows : Cost of Railway Cost of Dock and Harbour Parliamentary and Preliminary Expenses and Contingencies £65,000 60,600 £135,000 The sources of traffic have been carefully inquired :into, and fully tested by persons:extensively engaged in shipping and manufactures, and in every way compe t ent to make a correct estimate of the various kinds of merchandise 'that will enter the harbour and pass over the line. Taking into account thepresent actual traffic from Newcastle to Ireland, now carried by a long sea voyage round the island, and which would be diverted into the now line, together with the local traffic, a minimum return of £2O per mile per week may be safely calculated upon for the Railway, which, with the receipts from the Dock Dues would yield a divi dend of upwards of six per cen t., after allowing 50 per cent. for working expenses. The undertaking► has the cordial support of tho Port Carlisle Railway Company. Arrangements will be made with this Company, under the sanction of Parliament, for facilitating the carriage of goods over their line.
