THE PRIVILEGE QUESTION.—TYRANNY OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. (From the Morning Herald of Tuesday) The House of .Commons has, in the plenitude of its wisdom. resolved, that all sheriffs and under sheriffs, " and others,' who shall aid Stockdale in carrying on his fresh actions against the printers of the house, shall be deemed guilty of a contempt, and of a violation of the privileges of the house. • • • • •-- - Uqient Ullwaßi.<4 to, will, of course, treat with the scorn which it merits -this new resolution of the " tyrant majority." The Attorney-General, moreover, moved that the ion of Stockdale's attorney, and a clerk of the same gentleman, should, for the offence .of serving certain notices on Messrs. Hansard, 6e, to-night. (Tuesday,) brought to the bar of the house. The motion was carried ; and the son and" clerk of Mr. Howard will, of course, be committed to Newgate. Lord HOWick remarked that the best.mode of sub duing the contumacy of Stockdale and of his attor ney, would be found in adding to the severity of their imprisonment —in debarring these persons, in short, from all intercourse with their friends! The Hbuse of Commons is . labouring hard to ren d,,-.i its=4 utterly odious and desPieable. .It is gratify ::;i4 to reflect, that in the impending struggle, the as twrters of "privilege" must, assuredly, be discomfit 1. How pitiiuily malevolent was the suggestion of Lord Howick—how exquisitelY Characteristic of that feeble aid wa.pish mtender to statesmanship ! Why did riot this inagnanimous personage propose, at once, the. coinalittnem of Lord Chief. Justice Denman ? Stockdale and Howard can effect nothing towards. the annoyance of that house; of which Lord Howick is a worthy member, excepting through the agency of the law, and of the oracles of the law. Why, then, does not _Lord Howick attempt openly, and at once, to si lence those oracles ? Sir John Campbell, too, • means to commit Mr. Howard's clerks ! Well, what then ? Is he prepared to commit all the clerks in London ? When dos 4 he propose that this unseemly exhibition on the part of the House of Commons shall terminate? What, moreover, do Lord John Russell and the At torney-General mean by the Words- "and others," rAtifliftit/IY.:4ltakt night , The resolution is addre sse d ; to' the under-she riffs, and'others.!' Does the phrase "others" prebend the jury ? Does it comprehend the bar ? Does it comprehend the judges ? . Sir-Edward Sugden asked an explanation on these . points:from Lord John Russell, but th e Colonial 'Secretary. appeared .exceed ingly unwilling to grant the required information. The whole affair is infinitely disgusting. Colonel Sibthorp stated that, at a dinner amongst his constitu ents, he proposed the health of the sheriffs, and that the toast was received with three cheers.. The feeling exhibited by the entertainers of the-gallant colonel is, we Will venture to say,- the feeling of universal Eng and.- To men who love Our old institutions, it must afford unmixed delight to perceive the democratic branch of the Legislature covering itself with contempt. The House of Commons has, for a long time, been, in its collective capacity, .1 body of revolutionists. The House of Commons first rose into importance by op posing certain acts of royal tyranny. For a long time past, the tyranny of the house has exceeded any other tyranny on record. The House of Commons has swallowed up all the substantial power that used to re side in the monarchy. The House of Commons has, recently - , sought to annihilate the functions of the aris tocratic branch of, the Legislature. In every movement of .tliO .19Wer mey , hclraced a grasping, mono polising, tyrannical spirit.. liot the HoUse of Commons;it maybe urged, is the =stonier of the rights•of the people; and for the main tenance of these rights, the " privilege" claimed is re . quisite." The rights of the peoPle),_ Qf what rights of the people has the House of Commons approved itself the: guardian ? The House of Commons is not more hos tile to the Crown and to.the House of Lords, thin it is to the best rights of the people of England. The House' of CointizOns has, for a quarter of a century, laboured to deprive the industry of England of all protection.- The House. of ,Commons has ruthlessly consigned nearly a million of hand-loom weavers to semi-starva-- tion—has doubled, by the act of 18 19, the poWer of ney over labour—has deprived tens of thousand's of labourers of employment, by means of free-trade— and, then, by robbing the whole body of the labourers of England of their constitutional rights—rights gua r..nteed by the 43d of Elizabeth—has placed in peril the hole of our social fabric!

PROGRESS OF POPERY IN EDINBURGH._ We (From .the Scottish Standard.) w e artakilikaeskta7say it, butit is probable, that in no part of the Bridals dominions are greater exertions being made just now for the spread of Popery than in 'Edin burgh. - On Saturday last, a newspaper was started in this city, avowedly for the purpose of upholding and pro moting *Popery ; and it is boasted of by its proprietors, that it is the first and only newspaper established in Great Britain-;--a most enviable distinction for " Modern Athens," certainly ! We understand, too, that a plot of ground, about five acres, has been purchased near Inverleith-place, upon which is to be erected a Roman Catholic college. There is already a convent in Edinburgh, w hi c h is repre sented to he in a very flourishing state. It may b e re marked, moreover, as a pretty significant sign o f t h e times," that, on Monday last, the Queen's nuptual day, Divine Service was performed in the Roman Catholic chapel, Broughton-street, " for the purpose," as the ad vertisement expressed it, "of imploring th e hie„ing of HEAVEN on her Majesty's marriage." Who ever before heard of " the blessing of fir:AvEs" being " implored" by the church of Rome upon a sovereign whom that church ' regards as a "damnable heretic ?" Depend upon it, " there is more in this than meets the eye." And, really, loooking at it all in roper seriousness, we are constrained, however humiliating it may be, to think that there is some truth in the boast of the Popish bishop, Dr. WHale, that " Scotland is beginning to revere the memory of St. Co lumbkill, the founder of its religion, rather than that of John Knox, who was its ruthless destroyer. NATIONAL EDUCATION -PAPAL INTERFEIL (From the Dublin Even• g Vail.) bosom There is now raging i n t h e bos "1 of the Ro m on Ca tholic Church in Ireland, a controversy ve formidable and fierce enough to terminate in schism, and, if both the parties be in earnest , to eliminate one of n the dissentient bodies from the orbit in which , hitherto, it has round the centre of unity and community' of dpnerLed The National Board is the bone of contention. sixte,e;. Of the six-and-twenty Titular Prelates of Ireland Intie given in their adhesion to the plan of National Educti.i4i— as sufficiently Popish for the purpose—whilst.tessj4ic c .iii denounce it as not Popish enough by many degrees. At the head of the majority stands DR. MURRAY, soi.disant Archbishop of Dublin. • Doctor MAC HALE, the soi.disant AgelbilluiV of Tuna, is the leader of the vigorous min ority. It were a matter of little avail, in the present state of the question, to enumerate the extent and import ance of the differences between those conflicting bodies. Suffice it to say, that if Doctor MACHALE, be willing to maintain his own assertions, it is morally impossible that he or his follower can conscientiously remain in commu nion with either the head or any portion of the Church, maintaining opinions and sanctioning practices so diamet rically opposed (as he conceives and states them to be) to either christian verity or the peculiar doctrines and dicipline of the church of Rome. But such an inquiry is now beyond our purpose ; and we turn from it to consider -the quarrel as it stands at this moment. ;.. appear that both parties havetappealed to the POPE tor his decision on their differene and each party, in its turn; boasts that hiS Holiness - saiktions its peculiar views. The Dublin Monitor is the; exponent of the Murrayvians, the Freeman's Journal: is ; the aknowledged organ of the MitellattAx§. In, the former—the Dublin Monitor of Saturday, the 15tb - instant—we find the fol fowing annonncement respecting the Papal decision : " The Catholic Prelates met in this city on Tuesday last, and on Wednesday the final decision of the Pope arrived, and was made known to them. And what is the Pope's decision ? Exactly what we stated on the 10th of December, 18. T), it would be—favourable to the principles of the Education .Board. The Pope has rejected Doctor•MacHale's appeal!— refused to entertain it !—and : has affirmed the decision of the majority of the Catholic Prelates, who, in February, 1839, by an overwhelming majority, declared that the Board was entitled to, and did possess; the confidence of the Catholics of Ireland! Thus is the question set at rest, we hope, for ever." Well,. what say the MacHahans ? The Freeman of this morning, with reference to the paragraph we have just quoted, thus triumphantly responds " '1 he foregoing certainly looks exceedinly imposing ; but the old adage which says • one story's good till another is told' never was better exemplified than by the following pithy epistle from the Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of Ardagh " TO THE EDITOR OF THE FREEMAN. "'Coffey's Hotel, February 16, 1840. " Sta— I have just read, in an evening paper of yester day, an article on the subject of national education, in which th 6 following paragraph occurs :—' The Catholio met in this city . en...T.uesday_ly: and 'was 17,a[Cileneksn'iolnug them.' :" In order that no one may be misled by the above as sertion, I beg leave to make known, through the columns of your paper, that no decision of the Pope relative to the sys tem of national education has been communicated to the assembled prelates; and that, on the contrary, I have myself this day received an official letter from Rome, stating that the authorities were resolved not to enter on the consider ation of this important question until after the arrival of our deputy, who, up to the date of the letter received this morn ing, had not reached Rome. "' I have the hononr to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "' W. HIGGINS. '" Thus stands the quarrel—involving either party in he resy and schism, as the POPE may decide—at the present juncture ; and a very pretty quarrel it is. But not for this purpose do we advert to it. Our object in calling attention to it is to impress upon the public mind the fact, that a foreign authority assumes the right to interfere with the domestic concerns of this country—that there exists in Ireland a body, which, disunited in itself upon principles of detail, is united in its acknowledgment of the Papal authority to legislate for the national education of her Britannic MAJESTY'S subjects ; and that whatever way the question be decided, the decision stamps the future education of Ireland to be, and to continue, Papis tical. For, if the POPE decide against the Board, it will follow that the system advocated by Mac Hale (which is exclusively and professedly Popish,) must be adopted in the schools for the population ; whereas, on the other hand, should his Holiness decide for the Board, his fiat will be the acknowledgment, that the system of the Board, is sufficient in all the essentials of a Papistical education. We do not deny the right or the duty of the Rotnan Catholic Prelates to seek by all means strictly national, and independent of foreign influence, that such should be the case. Nay, considering the polity of the Church of Rome, it is natural her prelates should seek both at home and abroad, by foreign as well as by national means—per fas et nefas—the accomplishment of their peculiar views. But we. do not see why—(nay, in these very circumstan ces we see the reason' why the . ) , should not)lLthis Pro testant state and its houses of legislature should surrender the national education to the hands of a foreign► poWer, and the officials which in this country acknowledge and obey its sovereignty. If the POPE may legisiate for' the edu cation of the country, he may surely direct its religion. If me perMit him the one power, how shall we restrain him from the other ? And if in spirituals he gain the as cendant, it is little matter in what hands the temporal power may appear to reside, for virtually it will rest in his. The union of church and state will be that of the British Monarchy with the Church of Rome. Whether this conclusion be pushing the argument to an extreme at which it is not likely to arrive, or whether it be but the anticipation of what must happen if not timely prevented, is what we shall not determine. This we know, that in times when Popery was the sole dominant church, ere the abuses of her power had rendered the Reforma tion inevitable, neither. Englishmen nor Irishmen would have tolerated this foreign meddling with their domestic concerns ; and a new statute of Prernunire would have asserted their national independence, had the Papacy of the day presumed to dictate to them in what manner their children should be educated. But, as we hive often said, there is nothing national in the character of Irish Popery. There is plenty of an anti-British spirit, which those who entertain it misrake for independence and patriotism : but set Ireland adrift.: to-morrow; - and the-next day we should find her sons lashing her to some foreign craft Or other, and shouting vivas for liberty in the wake of her new Papistical mistress. It is eloquently observed by some writer, that memory has rich!gems of pleasure' that she can call up to gladden the heart when time has furrowed the cheek, and sprinkled the sorrows of age upon the honoured head. Tux 'NAats, A.-NEW FRUIT.— The 'tiaras was grow ing on little knolls of sand ; the bushes were about four or five feet high, without leaves, and with oppo ite thorns on the light and dark green striped branches. The fruit has a coreaceous rind, rough with prickles, is twice the size of an orange, or fifteen or eighteen inches in circumference, and inside it resembles a melon as to seed and to pulp. I seized a half-ripe one, and sucked it eagerly forthe moisture it con tained ; and it burned my tongue and palate; exceedingly; which does not happen when this most valuable fruit is 'ripe— it has then a luscious subacid taste. Some plants of 'tiaras are now growing in England (March, '1838), from seeds which I brought home : they are a foot high, and beginning to branch, having two thorns at each articulation, and a stipule. scarcely to be called a leaf - between them, on the axis of which is a bud, but no leaves.—Aleaander's Expedi. lion of Discovery. '• THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON AND SIR JAMES MACDON ELL.—A friend has related to us an anecdote illustrative not Only of the high opinion entertained by his Grace of this dis tinguished ' general,- but of the delicate generosity - displayed by Sir James to a non-conunissioned officer of his regiment. Some three years ago, the Duke of Wellington was waited upon at Apsiey House by two gentlemen, who announced to him that e as executors of the will of a deceased friend of ec centric habits, who had left £5OO to the bravest man in the British army, they called for the purpose of handing to his Grace a check for that amount ; being fully satisfied, that in so doing they should religiously fulfil the duty imposed on them by the testator. The Duke thanked them for the com pliment they had paid him, but resolutely declined to receive the money; alleging,,that the British army contained many as brave men as himself. After several pressing remonstran ces, his Giace's visitors earnestly requested that he would consent to becomearbriti'ator in the matter, and indicate the individual on whom the bequest shohld he conferred.. To this appeal he eceeded ; promising, in.,the course of two or three days, to give the, matter his consideration, and report -to them he !Ceti t. At the appointed time they again made t tit appearance at Apshiy Hoese , . The Duke received them with great courtesy ; but assured them, that he had found the ask a great deal more difficult than he had anticipated. After enum 'rating to them the various battles in which he had been engaged, and some of the most striking feats of heroism he hau witnessed, he suggested, that it; they bad no objection s he e ould make his selection from the battle of Waterloo, ; that being the fast, the greatest, and most important, action of the war. This• point being adjusted, his Grace proceeded to state, that Huguemont having been the key to his entire po ition, and that post having been defended not only with the most complete success, but with the most chivalrous brayery, t . 7 Mejor General Sir James Macdonell, who commanded could point out no one shfully entitled to the legacy a . 6 , e t r i e ult h _o e _fe,r.

TRADE WITH CHINA. An important fact, connected with the state of our relations with China, is communicated from the United States. It is that the merchants at Canton are dis posed to assist with those of Great Britain in obtain ing from the government of China treaties of com merce, by which the trade of both with the latter may be based on a solid and satisfactory foundation. A memorial had been presented to Congress for the in terference of the Government of America in aid of the attempt which is about to be made by Great Britain to effect this desirable object. The following is a detail of what has taken place in America on this subject. It is from.a communication dated Washington, 24th ultimo " Several of our merchants at Canton interested' in the China trade have memorialised Congress, setting forth the recent proceedings at Canton, and soliciting a co-operation by the Government of the United States with that of Great Britain, in establishing commercial relations with China - on a safe and honourable footing, and especially in obtaining the following concessions : " Permission for foreign envoys to reside near the court of Canton on the terms and with all the privileges recorded at other courts, through whom appeal may be made to the Imperial Government in cases of difficulty with the local authorities in the prosecution of our commercial pursuits. " Second—The promulgation of a fixed tariff of duties on articles both of import and export, from which no deviation shall be allowed on any pretence whatever. " Third—A system of bonding warehouses, or some regu lations permitting the transhipment 'of goods, as may be de sirable to re-export for the market in China. " Fourth—The liberty of trading to other port or ports in China than that of Canton. " Fifth—Compensation for the losses caused by the stop page of the whole legal trade of the port, and the consequent detention of vessels and property, with a guarantee against the recurrence of similar arbitrary acts, and security for the free egress from Canton and other ports of all parties pot guilty of crime or civil offences at any and at all times. " Sixth—That until the Chinese laws are distinctly made known and recognised, the punishment Of wrongs committed by foreigners upon the Chinese or others shall not be greater than is applicable to the like offence by the laws of the Uni %rritlteatis.2.r.l?Alachdiardl4 gilj ,7 iiii i j i ne'r e ihritirthe guilL . of the party shall have been fully and clearly proved. " The memorialists (Ame r ica ns ) ' avow their opinion that the course pursued by the Chinese commissioner was unjust, and no better than robbery ; . that if satisfaction is not yielded to the demand of the British Government, a blockade of the chief ports and rivers of China ought to be resorted to, and that the appearance of a naval force from England, the Uni ted States, and France, on the coast of China, would, with out bloodshed, obtain from the Chinese Government such acknowledgments and treaties as would place the foreign commerce upon a safe and advantageous footing.. " The memorialists further ask that should the Government of the United States determine not to interpose in the affairs of American and British citizens in Canton, then they ask for the appointment of an agent or commissioner to reside at Canton with a sufficient. naval force to protect American com merce and the persons of American citizens from being held responsible for the acts of lawless traders and for the hostile operations of a foreign fleet, or at least to prevent any paper blockade from interfering with their commerce and also to secure u participation in such privileges as may be granted by the Chinese to other powers." CORN LAWS (From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald.) In my last letter I charged upon the anti-corn law orators this gross absurdity—that " they assumed their conclusions in order to prove their principles." If their conclusions were right it would be less matter, but they assume that which I totally deny, and which all their opponents deny, merely for the purpose of deluding their followers. For . example—they most unblushingly assume that the corn laws were enacted merely for the benefit of the landlords. Now the author of the " Claims of the Landed Interests" dis tinctly denies such to be the case, and proves, by an analy sis of the respective contributions Made by the commercial, manufacturing, and agricultural classes, towards the welfare and prosperity of the community at large, that agricultural protection wasfor the good of the public, and not for the benefit of landed proprietors alone. If the anti-corn law orators deny the truth of this allegation, let them disprove the arguments of the writer in question; but this has never been done yet, nor ever will be done in my mind, either by them or anybody else. Again—the anti-corn-law orators assert that the corn laws keep prices high, although it is notorious the prices have been for many years under the average of the-tinie• the said laws were enacted; whilst others of their partisans, taunted with this fact, which cannot be denied, turn round on their Opponents, and say, if these corn laws don't keep no the price of corn, what objection can you have to their being 'abolished ? For ;m answer to this question, I again refer to the writer I have already alluded to, who satisfactorily proves this paradox, and shows how a free trade in corn would effectually ruin the British farmer, although a protecting duty cannot screen him from the effects of home competition and abundant har vests. But this is not all—the same parties assume that if we take foreign corn free, the continental states will take our manufactures free, and two of the speakers tit the Manchester dinner boldly asserted that Dr. Bowring had been charged with such a declaration.--but when Dr. Bowring gets up what does he say? Why, he says nothing qf the kind. He does not say even anything like it, and the matter remains ex actly as it was before—a mere assertion of interested parties, unsupported by any official declarations of the kind whatever, as far as the public are yet informed upon the subject. Then, if we appeal to facts, what do we see ? Why this—that since we have taken their cern free, they have taken ihs of our goods than ever; and by referring to Porter's Tables it will be seen that in the years 1832, 1833, and 1834, when we took none of their corn they took more of our manufactures than ever they have taken since, when we have taken corn to the amount of many millions sterling. In reality we are now suffering, not from the effects of agricultural protection, but from the effects of not having agricultural protection enough. Had we had protection for other agricultural produce, flax and hemp, tallow and butter, clover and rape-seed, so much land would not have been turned to the growth of wheat ; and, in that case,_ the price of that article would not have fallen so . low as to put - a stop tortl gultivation ;. and we are now suffering from the effect of, bad seasons superinduced upon a short quantity Sawn, owing to the said low prices. I cannot speak with patience of the mischievous policy at pre sent fashionable. Is not the riches of:a country the produce of its soil? Can an: sane man deny this position? And is it not admitted and acted on when we look back and see what pain's were formerly taken to naturalise the mulberry and the silk-worm, and how much is now dOne to promote the growth of our own tea in our own territories in India ; and if our millions of waste acres at home could be made to grow cotton wool, what toil and trouble'We should be at to introduce the plant ! What companies would be formed to cultivate it ! What premiums would be offered for successful exertion ! What exemptions'from rates and tithes and taxes to guard the speculators against loss What a rise there would be in three millions of neres of reclaimable land if these specula tions succeeded. But let me ask, 'is corn which they will groo,4,ks Valuable product than cotton, which they will not Aiikteare we to let these acres remain waste, and as many more remain half-cultivated, which would produce more wheat than ever we should be able to consume, and, at the same time, spend our revenues in expatriating .the very people who are necessary to their cultivation. The whole is anomlaous and inconsistent, but the real fact is, we are under the government of men who are ignorant of the true inter ests of the nation, and have not ability or inclination to learn them. But I have already gone beyond the bounds of a let ter, and 1 therefore conclude. MORAL HARMONY. (From the Watchman.) There is a cottage, and the children are playing around it. A sweet girl somewhat older sits knitting near the door, with its perfurned.porch of honeysuckles. A man approaches that residence of innocence and simpli city. fle enters the lowly chamber. He claims an ancient acquaintanceship with the happy family. He is welcomed by the inmates, for he says be knew their father. The little ones climb his knee. He is made, in the true sense of that holy phrase, AT HOME. Shall I describe the visitant? Hewears the garb of a me chanic. He converses about science and the march of intel lect. He declaims fluently concerning political rights and moral organisation, and talks of signing the people's charter. " What is the charter ?" asks a little boy, as he munches his brown bread and butter. And that man seeks oftentimes the happy house. And he gains the affections of the simple village maiden, Why should she doubt? He was het' father's friend. The days conic when he speaks of marriage, but he has conscientious objectiuris to . bands. Why? He is a philosopher. He has exploded that ancient folly, the Church of England. He beliqves in no God—not he ! God, he maintains, is the invention of the priest ! The philosopher would burn the cross of Christ for firewood. " Do not marry him," whispers the conscience of his be trothed. " I love him," replies her inclination. Conscience tails. The girl forgets her mother's remon strances, and goes forth into the world with him to whom she has trusted her guileless heart. They arrive at-. They are united at the Hall of Science, on the principles of social harmony. Ten months pass away with the usual alternations of life. And then there seemed a probability that the village girl would become a mother. " How tiresome !" said her reputed husband, as he took the last shilling from her pocket during her calm sleep, and escaped from their little house, two hours before day light. She laid the tea-things for him as usual in the evening, but he came not. She trimmed her lamp at midnight, listening at every foot fall as it echoed in the silent-street, yet he came not. And the truth by degrees stole on her desolate spirit. She went forth in distraction to the officers of justice. The old magistrate wept as he told her how she'had been de ceived. The cold-hearted workhouse received her, and the p.aupers • looked bitterly askance as they saw there was no marriage ring on her finger. Her child was born, forlorn and fatheriess—the weakly offspring of the broken hearted. There is a'mad-house at There is there the wreck of a once beautiful form. The symmetry of the features re mains, but the lustre of reason has paled and expired. She moans and walks alone. The keeper will tell you that she is near the grave. WHO IS SHE? WHO IS SHE?

Sunday night, the 2d inst., a lass, named Judy Bourke, eloped with a gallant gay Lothario, of the name of Philip Walsh, of Ballinacooly, near Piltown ; the fnriner taking with her £3BO, which bad been collected as county cess by her brother. The loving pair evaded the ment vigilance of the police until Friday night last, when the y werere arrested by Constable M'Carthy and p art y , of the y-eet. understand that the money i y a le n t , i le. bo d wer station, at a relative's house.

There is no subject of more momentous interest. to. every civilized nation, than an inquiry into the present position of England ; there is no topic of higher importance (socially speaking) to the whole family of man, than an endeavour to ascertain thefutuie prospects of England. The first branch of inquiry would involve an investigation of proximate and remote causes of almost indefinite extent, and, on this oc casion, an exposition of results is all that can be expected, reserving for. a subsequent periodemore minute, and, perhaps, more satisfactory details. One of the most prevalent existing opinions is, that Eng land has witnessed the acme of her power, and, having passed the meridian, now hastens to decay. This inference is er roneously drawn, from observing, Ist, that individuals of the animal and iegetable-kingdoms have their periods of youtii,. • age, and death ; * and, 2tic that- all: the great nations of anti quity have perished, leaving scarcely a vestige of their ligme the antiquary with difficulty tracing the spot on which the metropolitan cities of vast empires once stood. . But' the inference is unsubstantiated in. its premises, and not fairly supported in its conclusions. Examine one of the primeval forests of America—it has existed there for ages ; its limits, defined from the adjacent prairie by a broad and clear savanna, on which not a shrub is seen. True, the in dividual trees of the forest perish, but their place is imme- diately filled up ; ages roll on—tree succeeds to tree—the forest never becomes the prairie—and at the end of centuries is found in all its beauty, denseness, and vigour. The same principle is applicable to herds of animals, and to congregated masses of our fellow-creatures. Thus, also, is it with a na tion : individuals die—the nation lives, and will continue to flourish for ages, so long as the elements of moral disease are subdued by virtue. The analogy, therefore, between the existence 'of an individual of a species, and the aggregate of a nation, is incorrect; so also is the conclusion clrawn.from the supposed analogy. Empires, kingdoms, and republics have risen from infancy to *maturity, and then perished. No form of government. whether that of absolutism or democracy. has been found sufficient to save a nation from final extinction ; the.seeds of dissolution were sown at birth, and were evolved when the physical and intellectual structure began to wane. Babylon and Nineveh—Egypt and Jerusalem—Tyre and Carthage-- Athens and Rome—have all in succession risen .from insig nificance to power, and then vanished .like the " baseless of ,•••••••••,".• {' t• because these memorials and records of mere human great ness are before us, does it necessarily. follow that all nations must have their rise and fall ? Sacred Writ most fully in forms us of the cause of the destruction of kingdoms,—be cause the people forsook the worship of the sally true God, became idolaters, and were consequently i'estroyed by the very effect of their own vices and crimes. ..lsriisalea», once the ark of a pure religion on earth, was destroyed, as oft fore told by the prophets, when the measure of its iniquity was full, is it reasonable to infer that any heathen nation could long uphold mere temporal power? Rome, the mistress of the world, debased•by the grossest idolatry, demoraiized by the most fearful extent of slavery, corrupted by wealth, de void of even the semblance of morality,—could no more ex pect perpetuity, than that city which was once the temple of the chosen people of heaven. • As a wicked man is frequently cut short in his career of crime, so was the fall of Jerusalem and of Rome ; both were alike the persecutors of Christianity and the enemies of truth. The downfall of Jerusalem was essential to the spread of ' moral freedom ; that of Rome, to the extension of civil li berty. Natural causes, therefore, produce natural effects, as regards a-man or a nation; and when we find a nation running on in a career of vice and infidelity, we can no more be surprised at its destruction, than at the death of a neat who has drunk deep of the cup of sin and wickedness. Let us examine, if there be any resemblance between Rome and Britain. The one a constitutional free state—the other a military empire, where the sovereign power was sold to the highest bidder ;—the one a *nation where all are personally free—the other, where.-nine-tenths of the people were bonds men, serfs, and slaves ;—the one an insular-maritime power, whose colonial possessions serve to augment its resources, and to increase its oceanic supremacy—the other a territorial state, whose very extension of dominion served but to weaken its strength, and to diminish its capability for defence ;—the one enjoying all the arts and elegancies which adorn and re fine social life, traversing land and sea with a celerity and certainty hitherto unknown, and using its wealth in the con atraction of immense works, which tend to benefit mankind —the other restricted chiefly in its mental efforts to archi tecture, and the showy and specious arts, making war its chief object ; and destitute of that extraordinary instrument for the extension of knowledge- . --the press. Finally—the one a Christian, the other a Heathen people. In a future number, we shall endeavour to enter more at length into this important question, because no man of a re flective mind would struggle to advance and elevate his country, if he thought that he were hastening the period of its ultimate declension and death. Th e g l ory o f a nat i on 'would then be sienilat to the :fleeting fame of a selfish indivi dual, both transient :.useless to their possessors, and inca pable of transmission to pasted; y. He who loves his country for.the sake of the good whickshe accomplishes, and by rea son of her Christian principles, will not, cannot, thick that the meridian of her existence is passed, while there is, aught of good to be fulfilled, and while Christianity exists on earth. Most certain is it, that a nation without true religion, is like a house built on the sand, which the winds and waves de stroy ; and if England be that house constructed on a rock•—• which Revelation predicts—then may she defy the tempest, and the not less sure but mere insidious effects of time. We may now briefly advert s to the present state of the Bri tish empire. It is certainly one of peril, and fraught with imminent danger; but still not without a bright and clear vista. The doMestic condition of England, Ireland, aml Scotland betokens the 'struggles 'of an industrious people to raise themSelVes - frotu poverti; and to provide for those who are to succeed them. We behold a denser population in pro portion. to the soil, than is to he found in the aggregate in any other nation; in some parts 300 mouths to the square mile. We see that soil entirely pre-occupied, and brought to a high pitch of cultivation by the accumulated capital of centuries ; yet year by year less capable of producing an ade,- , quate supply of food, to meet the demands of a rapidly, aug menting population. Steam-machinery—that efficient in strument for raising man from the condition of a mere beast of burden—while it lowers the price of labour, lessens the number of labourers required • and if brought successfully}, into use in agriculture, it will tend still more to cause the evils of a redundant population to he more and more severely felt: With this reduction in the means of employment, and in the wages . of industry, we find an in cr e as i ng apt i tu d e f or intellectual arid social enjoyment's, and an unwillingness to.l submit to physical suffering.and privations, which were here tofore silently borne: • - The recent extension of political rights has left a large mass of the'peojole dissatisfied, because they find themselves pre cluded from the exercise of those immunities to which they look—as ameans'th an erid-s-namely, the benefitting of their social condition. Extreme 'democratic opinions are, there fore, rashly advocated, and the balance of a constitution, which it has been the efforts of ages to keep equipoised, is in danger of final overthrow; the sword of physical power being, in fact, ready to be cast into the scale : while educa. tion, in itself a blessing if accompanied with religious instruc. tion, will bat lead to further desire for change, unless food raiment, and an abundance of all the necessaries of life, be. come easier and easier of attainment. Let us now glance - at iire •-• condition of the transmarine provinces of the empire : where do we find peace and con tentment ? It was the sarcastic remark of a nobleman who filled, within the last few years, the office of Secretary of State for the Colonies, that the " only Colony in tranquillity was Heligoland I" We pass without comment the questions of the state of Canada—of the West Indies—the East Indies, &c., they are well deserving of the most serious attention, and calculated to excite the most anxious solicitude ; but we do not desire to make such topics mere party questions, and our future numbers will contain ample discussions respecting their political and social wants. The condition of our Colon ial possessions, as well as that of our domestic state, is not the result merely of yesterday, but the sequence of causes, some of which are of long standing, and the effects of which though often predicted. have always been neglected. The unfriendly'bearing of our foreign relations, is what may naturally be expected from rivals jealous of our political power—thirsting for our territorial wealth, and desirous of enriching themselves at our expense. There is not a king dom in Europe, nor a republic in Anaerica, in actual friendly alliance with us ; and were a general war to occur, England would not possess an ally, unless self-interest prompted a co-operation. Many, indeed, of the continental nations would rejoice in the destruction of the British Empire, as if they expected to rise on its ruins. In the midst of these surrounding perils, we see no efforts made by genius and wisdom, to avert impending evils; tem porary expedients are resorted to, and the energy and abilities of the country are wasted on acrimonious strife, and directed to no grand or definite, principle for the preservation•of the social edifice, and the maintenance , cf the integrity of the empire. Yet, however gloomy may be the present, there is.no real. cause of alarm for the future ; from the very nettle danger, we may pluck the flower safety ; and out of the destructive elements around, we may gather the means of advancing, se curing, and establishing our power for ages. It is true that we are endeavouring to pay in gold, at £3. 17s. 101 d. an ounce, a debt of £800,000,000. contracted in a depreciated paper currency ; and that £30,000,000. of annual taxes are required to pay simply the interest of that debt, without the accumulation of any sinking-fund towards its final liquida tion. But the property in the United Kingdom is almost incalculable. That of land alone is estimated at two thous and millions sterling England is not, therefore, insolvent ; and whenever an able financier chooses to grapple with this vital subject, there are ample means for its adjustment. Of the 28,000,000 inhabitants in the United Kingdom, nearly 20,000,000 are unfortunately living from " hand to mouth," by precarious labour; and scantily supplied with the necessaries of life. Yet this very abundance of labour may be rendered of the utmost value, was there perfect freedom of commerce, and no monopoly of the money which legiti mately represents trade; in other words, were there equal laws of freedom for the transfer of commodities, and of their representative value. The great reform is now in process of accomplishment by the joint-stock system of banking, by means of which, if gradually and cautiously brought into operation, trade will be saved from future panics, and the country from ruinous vicissitudes in its monetary affairs. Thus, steadiness of employment,.and remunerative prices, will raise the valueproperlY; and spread plenty throughout the land ; and when 20,000,000 of now half-fed, ill-clad, and imperfectly educated beings shall have been raised in the social Scale, we shall daily find fresh sources of employment, and means will be multiplied foideriving the full benefits of the industry of intelligent, and morally disposed millions. (To be continued.) *" The world, like the individual, flourishes in youth, rises to strength in manhood, fall 3 into decay in age ; and the ruins of an empire are like the decrepit frame of an indivi dual, except that they have some tints of beauty which na ture bestows on them." —Consolations in Travel.

The Tallahassee Star has the following creditable matter relative to American civilization :—" Colonel Fitzpatrick arrived on Tuesday, at St. Mark's, from Cubd, with 33 bloodhounds and six Spaniards, their trainers and keepers. If these hounds are put into service we have more confidence in the speedy close of the Seminole war than ever before." " Our correspondent at Vienna," says the Journal de Franhfort, "informs us that another bond is about to be added to those which tie the ducal family of Saxe Coburg Gotha and the reigning family of France, by the marriage of Prince Augustus Louis Victor, a captain of cavalry in the Austrian service, with her Royal Highness the Princess Clementine.

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY.—Frost, Williams, and Jones arrived he r e thi s morning early, in the Usk steamer, after a boisterous passage of thirteen days from Cardiff, part of which time has been spent, from the severity of the weather, in Ilfracombe, Padstow, and St. Ives. They arrived in good health, but in bad spirits—Frost, in particular, having anxiously inquired if the Queen had extended mercy to them on her marriage. They were immediately transferred to the York hulk, and placed in a ward by themselves, which had been prepared for the purpose, so that they may hold no communication with their fellow convicts ; and though they were immediately clothed in convict aarel, they will not be sent on s h ore to work, without further instructions from the Secretary of State's Office. Under the usual regula tion, however, of their letters being unsealed, they will be permitted free communication with their friends; but no, one, from idle curiosity, will be suffered to intrude on them. —Hampshire Telegraph.

The sales on Thursday last, were 5000 bags, Friday 6000, Satur day 3000, Monday 3000, Tuesday 3000, and to-day 5000. The busi ness done since last week has been large, and the market tolerably steady without any material change in prices. The import of the week amounts to 14,891 bags. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, FEB. 18. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) With the exception of Oatmeal, the imports from Ireland, coast. ways, and from Foreign ports, have been very small since last Tuesday, and during the past week the demand has been very moderate for every article in the trade, bat at fully the price last noted. The only alteration in the duties on Foreign. Grain since Friday last, is an increase of is Gil per quarter on Beans and Peas ; a few thousand barrels of American Flour have been sold on the passage at 305 per barrel, and small parcels in bond here at 30s 6d to 3:s, Grain in bond seiLs only as if free, allowing the duties. At this day's market there was a very moderate demand for every article in the trade, but at fully the prices of last Tuesday, and in some few instances for good sweet red Foreign Wheat an advance of 2d per 70lbs was obtained. _ WHE AT, per 701bs s. 6. s. d.
