but at Berlin ; but here, as well as at Berlin, we
may take the liberty to say, 'Curse not the king;
no not in thoughts . . . for a bird in the air
shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings
shall tell the matter.'"
The gale of Monday morning seems to have
raged with great fury in various places inland,
as well as on both coasts. At York, fourteen fine
elms—some of great size--which adorned the
public promenade by the Ouse, were uprooted.
At Scarborough, too, the storm is described as
having been of fearful violence, and a man was
killed there by the fall of a stack of chimneys.
Two vessels have been wrecked at the mouth of
the Tyne. The damage to fruit trees is every-
where described as most lamentable, after the
splendid promise of productiveness which they
before presented.
Official returns just published show that the
imports of raw -cotton in 1850 *attained a total
considerahly in excess of the imports of any former
year, amounting to 1,225,989,072 lbs. From
tables given it would appear that, notwithstanding
the enormous increase in the demand for raw
material, Lancashire is now less dependent upon
the United States by about 9 per cent. than she
was in 1843 ; and the impression made by the
efforts put forth to develop new sources of supply.
will be seen when it is stated that while in 1843
the receipts from other quarters were only
98,4M,596 lbs., in 1859 they had reached the
encouraging total of 264,281,808 lbs. The main
advance has been in British India.
We give at more length than its intrinsic
merits perhaps would require, a speech made by
Mr. Bright, at a reform meeting in Manehester,
yesterday ; kit it lutist certainly have been a rich
treat to hear Mr. Bright pleading the cause of the
British Constitution ! Who does not remember
his challenges at Birmingham but a few months
ago, " What is the British Constitution ? Where
is its Did anybody ever see it or feel it ?" But
now in the vain hope of raising an agitation
against the HOuse of Lords, the arch-declaimer
talks of nothing but precedent, privilege, and
the Constitution; and instead of asking for
reform, he calls upon the people to support the
Lower House "in maintaining the rights and
privileges that had been fought for, bled for, and
handed down to them in sacred trust by their
forefathers.," .

THE GAMESTERS.

:N MooßE's tragedy of " The Gamester," we

behold a faithful delineation of Beverley's career
at the gaming table, under the crafty and too

successful machinations of the fiendlike Stukely,

The delirium of the game in which all is staked
on the hazard of a die, is too speedily followed by
despair and total ruin. This vine is not confined

:o private life. At present we nave at least two

great political gamblers, who have staked the

welfare of nations to gratify their own unscru-
pulous lust for power. What &ukely was to
Beverley, LOUIS NAPOLEON has been to Mr.
