ADAM GRAEME fof MOSSGRAT. A Story of
Scottish Life.. By the author of "Margaret Maitland." &c._
This is an undoubtedly fine story, the finest, perhaps, that
the author has ever written. In the " Memoirs :of Adam
Graeme" we have the history of two generations, one con-
nected with the other in a manner skilfully wrought, and full
of breathless interest. Nor must we forget the great charm
embodied in the episodes of life in "Fendie," in which a
stern and inflexible old father stands saliently forth, like a
type of the " David Deans" of Sir Walter Scott. It is a
story of disappointed love chastened down by years of part-
ing, and the conquest of a strong yet humane heart over its
first wild tempest of passion. The style, at once vigorous,
poetical, idiomatic, and picturesque, will enchant the reader.

SUICIDE IN KENSINGTON.GARDENE.—Yeaterday
morning; soon after six o'clock, some lads, on crossing the
Serpentine-bridge in Hyde-park, observed what they con-
sidered to be a hat floating in the ornamental water in Ken-
sington-gardens, and they commenced pelting it with stones
to drive it on the shore. A gentleman had his attention
drawn to what they were doing, and he, suspecting it was
something more than a hat, went to the Receiving-house at
the Royal Humane Society, and having informed Mr. 17,7
Hams, the superintendent, of the circumstance, one of the
society's mea was sent in a boat to the spot, and aeon _

ocluar..ted, not altogether ineffectually, with the
Niftier

chiefs of Tirroo as well al with the most renowned
among the marshals of NAPoLLON—and that his name
has become somehow associated with a series of rather
remarkable victories extending back from the field of
Waterloo to the walls of &ringapatam. That these
deeds have been, hitherto, va3girly attributed to the
Duke of WELLINGTON, appears to be indisputable, if
we are to attach any credit whatever to the luminous
records of NANER, or to the picturesque and elo-
quent descriptions of ALISON. Unquestionable,
however, though these facts may have been consi-
dered, heretofore, they must at length be altogether
abandoned as worthy of not an instant's consideration :
for the Duke of WELLINGTON was on Tuesday last
quietly and deliberately pooh-poohed by Mr. COBDEN !
Really, his Grace might have anticipated a little more
respect both for his age and his career, from a man
who had formally grasped his hand with the grasp
almost of friendship only a few months since, in the
presence of many thousands of people, in the Palace
of the Great Exhibition. So entirely and rapidly,
however, has this incident been forgotten by the
Member for the West Riding, that he takes occasion
to sneer at the Captain in so many memorable battles
(behind his back) from the platform of a concert-
room in Marylebone. Considering all that the
Duke of WELLINGTON has done, considering the
years which have passed over his head in the ser-
vice of the country, both civil and military, we must
acknowledge our incapacity to recognise the delicacy
of Mr. COBDEN'S observations.

CICERO in his very noble and exquisitely beautiful
dissertation, De Senectute, has placed in the mouth
of the venerable CATO words such as, might not
inaptly have fallen from the lips of the Duke of
WELLINGTON. We are induced to call this
circumstance (we might almost designate it
this coincidence) to the recollection of the
lettered reader, because of the coarseness of the re-
mark made by Mr. COBDEN on the occasion referred
to, when he spoke of the brave old warrior still at the
head of the authorities at the Horse Guards, as one
who had originated " outcries about danger which
ought only to have proceeded from women or chi!.
dren." Abuse, by the way, is not argument—neither
can logic be regarded as answered by contumely.
But what are those Ciceronian sentences which
might, according to our thinking, be not inappro-
priately uttered by the Duke of WELLINGTON ? "I
am now," says CATo, "in my eighty-fourth year,
and I wish I had reason to boast with CYRUS, that I
feel no sensible decay of strength. But although I
do not possess it in the same 'degree as when I made
my first campaign in the Carthagenian war, in the
course of which I was advanced to the rank of Ques-
tor, or when during my consulship.l commanded the
army in Spain, or when four years afterwards I was
military tribune.at the battle of Tbermopy!m—yet I
can with truth, you see, affirm that old age has
not totally relaxed my nerves and subdued
my native vigour. My strength has not yet been
found to fail me, either in the senate or the assemblies
of the people, when my country or ray friends, my
1 clients or my hosts, have had occasion to require
my service." Place those declarations in the mouth
of the Duke of WFLLINGTON, and they will be found
not less accurately descriptive than they were when
attributed to C.mro by the greatest of all Roman
orators. Yet this is the very man whose name has
been selected by Mr. COBDEN as a target for his not
very graceful or rhetorical shafts of derision !
" he whose fame outshines the fabulous!
Sublime with eagle front, and that grey crown
Which Age, the arch priest, sets on laurell'd brows;
Lo, Gtrainr, bending with a world's renown!
Yet those grey hairs one ribbald scoffer found;—
The moon sways ocean. and provokes the hound."
King Arthur, Book v., stanza 14.

Let those majestic verses of the bard of Carduel,
those verses in which Sir BOLWER LYTTON (in the
true prophetic spirit of poesie) offers that noble weed
of praise to the Conqueror of the Peninsula, be the
fitting response to the right trusty and valiant knight
of the shire of York—the Quixotic Leader of the
Peace Association.

"Yet those grey hairs one ribbald scoffer found;—
The moon sways ocean, and provokes the hound."
That couplet ought to be emblazoned forthwith
across the shield of the knight of the West Riding—
heraldically, along a bar sinister —with "a dagger of
lath" as the device!

Apart though we are, in the vast proportion of our
political sympathies, from his Grace the COM-
MANDER.IN.CRIEY—aIien though many of his
ideas in regard to the right principles
of administration are to those entertained by
ourselves—we have none the less earnestly, on those
accounts, protested against the indecorous sneers with
which Mr. COBDEN has thought proper to speak of the
Duke of WELLINGTON. We leave it to the people of
England to decide whether the remarks we have here
referred to are worthy of one who aspires to the dig-
nity of a statesman, or whether they are exactly be-
fitting a man pointed out as a probable Cabinet
Minister by the very enthusiastic gentleman who
seconded the first resolution on the occasion of
this very redoubtable meeting at Marylebone. Let
the Militia Bill introduced to the House of Commons
by the HOME SECRETARY be reprobated as loudly as
its most ardent antagonist could desire—let it be pro-
nounced unconstitutional in its tendencies, tyrannical
in its probable operation, and preposterous in its en-
tire character—but do not, in Heaven's name, pre-
sume to trifle with a danger so glaringly manifest as
that of the insufficiency of our national defences, and,
least of all, to direct such very coarse and vulgar perso-
nalities against a venerable warrior like the Duke of
WELLINGTON.

If any proof were required of the advantages of
triennial Parliaments, and of compelling Honourable
Gentlemen to solicit renewals of confidence from their
respective constituents more frequently than under
the present system they are required to do, it would
ba affaded by the numerous addresses with which
the public journals are now filled to overflowing.
Every member of the popular branch of the Legisla-
ture who has not, for no doubt adequate reasons, de-
termined on retiring into private life is on his " good
behaviour ;" obnoxious opinions are quali-
fied or retracted, ample explanations are
given on every subject that could by a
possibility occasion complaint or annoyance. It
would be impossible to find a more amiable, high-
minded, or public-spirited set of gentlemen than the
several aspirants for senatorial honours. It is really
gratifying to find such striking exhibitions of
patriotism, and must add considerably to the feelieg
of national pride to behold our public
_men making
themselves so thoroughly acquainted with all the

but little better than fictitious representations,

the sentiments of the claimants for their favour he..
fore they arrive at a final decision ou the important
subject.
The fire', the most important question of all, is that
respecting our commercial legislation. No man,
however estimable his character or high his
qualifications, sbould be tolerated for a mo -
ment who even contemplates the possibility

s not be con-
tentedl weNiy with obvie ing a retregrede policy, but
should use our utmost exertions to render it progres.
BiVe, t(1 take further able in, the right direction. It
is (Z the highest irnportnnee ttertfore to select persons
holding sound views on fiscal subjects. Oar trudo Pad

commerce cannot be really freeedrom the restrictions
still remaining, unless the entire system of taxation be
placed on a sounder basis, and direct charges substi-
tuted fur indirect imposts. How em we reduce the
duties on tea, tobaccr, wines, sugars, I.e.—hew can
we abolish thaw malt-tax and hop-tax, unless we re-
quire the owners of accumulated anti realized property
to contribute more largely to the liquidation of the
public liabilities, and the maintenance of the national
establishments ? Every true Free-trader must also be
a fiscal reformer—the advocate of direct rather
than indirect taxation, and where there is an
extensive choice, none should prematurely pledge
themselves in favour of candidates whose views end
feelings on these points are not completely i❑ unison
with their own. 01' course the nation should be
just, and there ought to be no addition to the income-
tax that did not recognise the distinction between
schedules A, C, and D, between the possessors of
landed estates, or snug sums in the Three per Cents.,
and those who earned their daily bread by physical
or intellectual labour—who by incessant toil obtained
fluctuating and precarious profits, from which a
large percentage would have to be deducted for
future exigencies.

The would-be Members should also be closely
catechised as to their views on financial and mone-
tary reform. They should be desirous of maintain-
ing the efficiency of our national establishments, but
without waste or prodigality. They should be
generous without extravagance to the public em-
ployees, remunerating every man fairly for his ser-
vices, but opposing strenuously every sinecure and
job, so as to cut down the public expenditure to the
lowest scale consistent with our position as one of the
leading nations of the earth. In monetary matters;
by no means the least important of the problems re-
quiring speedy solution, they should be prepared to
give that which may be regarded as indeed the very
life-blood of industry, a circulating medium adequate
to the wants and exigency of the country:
But perhaps, next to free trade, the question of
Parliamentary reform will excite the greatest in-
terest in the forthcoming contests. Vague decla-
rations will no longer serve to hoodwink the electors.
The miserable abortion brought forward xs a new
Reform Bill has opened the eyes of the people on
this important subject. We may struggle to obtain
good measures, but until we purify the source
of legislation itself, until we render the House of
Commons practically what it is in theory, a real re-
presentation of the community, and a fair exponent of
its wants and wishes, we cannot hope for permanent
peace. We must, therefore, have not only a large
extension of the suffrage and a more equitable dis-
tribution of electoral power, but we must have
full protection afforded to the voter against every
undue influence, whether of bribery or intimidation,
by means of " the ballot" and a shortening of the
duration of Parliament, so as to cause the representa-
tive to respect the wishes of those to whom he must ac-
count for his legislative conduct at no very distant day.
We should also speak of the abolition of the property
qualification, but that the 13111 introduced by the
Right Hon. Gentleman the Member Devonport
will, we trust, dispose of that topic; before the appeal
to the country. _ _

There are other matters that should also be borne
in mind. The Marriages Affinity Bill is a question
of civil and religious liberty, affectirg most largely
the peace and happiness of many estimable fa-
milies, through an undue desire to con-
trol the consciences of others in the most
sacred relationship of life. There are many
other points that will readily suggest themselves, but
to which our space will not allow us to refer. We
repeat, however, that no man should bind himself
until he has perfectly satisfied himself of the general
correctness of the views of the candidate for his
suffrage—that he should not act lightly in the dis-
charge of the most important trust that can be con-
fided to the hands of a freeman.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday
The Council of State has had communicated to it
the amendments adopted by the Committee on the
New Copper Coinage Bill, but which are said to bear
only on details of a secondary character. The amount,
which bad been fixed at 7,560,000 f, will merely un-
dergo a reduction of 260,000 f.
Tne Moniteur contains the revenue returns for the
quarter, which give an increase over the correspond-
ing period of last year of 6,155,000 f. The increase
for the month of March over the same period is, as
the Moniteur lately announced, nearly five millions,
the exact sum being 4,991,000 f. The greatest item
of increase, speaking of the past month, is on registry
dues, it being 1,767,000 f. Stamp duties show an in-
crease of 635,0901. Duties paid on divers imported
articles show an increase of 1,154,000 f., and on French
colonial sugars 947,000 f. Duties on potable liquors
give an increase of 414,000 f. There is a falling off
in the duties on home-made sugars of 1,338,000 f.
The post-office shows an increase of 287,000 f. It
will be recollected that the month of February gave
an increase of upwards of a million and a half over the
corresponding month of the previous year; so that
should the next following months continue to be vi-
sited with the same prosperity, the promise of a ba-
lanced budget held out by the Minister of Finance
may be expected to be justified.
The Nouvelliste of Marseilles states that the Go-
vernment has just commuted the penalty on M.
MIOT, ex-representative, who bad been condemned
to transportation to Cayenne, and now detained at
Fort Lamalgue. He is to he sent to Africa.
By a deciAon of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, the
penalty of 5,000 f. pronounced on the 25th of July,
1851, by the tribunal of Draguignan on Mine.
BALINNE, for a contravention of the laws on the press,
has been reduced to I,ooof. A similar reduction has
been made in the case of M. REPAS, a printer at
Digne, who had been sentenced to a floe of the same
atn. unt.

The health of Marshal GERARD is said oo be such
as to cause serious alarm to his family. For the last
week, the marshal, who is in his 79th year, bgs suf-
fered from great weakness in consequence of an ob-
stinate dysentery.
There is no truth (says the Public) in the report
which has been in circulation that the Duke
D'AIMIALE had sold Chantilly to the Queen Dowager
Of SPAIN.

The Debate has the following article on affairs in
Switzerland :

"itis on Sunday next, the 18th inst., that the vote
on the revocation, of the Grand Conned, and of all the
authorities of the canton of Berne, will take place. The
Radical party, the principal element of which is the
lower classes, has provoked this kind of appeal to the
country; and it is with the law in their bands, and
without any revolution properly so calls d, that it hopes
to overthrow the present Grand Council, composed of
liberal men, and of men in general animated with a
desire of doing well. I: is a life and death struale
between the party which has nothing to lose and the see
which possesses fortune and intelligence. Should the
Radical party triumph and become once install, el in all
public employments, God knows to what atrocious ex-
travagances they will carry the application of the
Socialist and Communist system. Unfortunately
can no cne in the midst of an agitation which is
carried to the greatest extremes, formiee the result of
the vote of the 18th. Our letters from Berne
state that the activity of tie Radicals was greater than
that of the Conservative Liberals, and that besides, dis-
tress, which is this year severely felt in the country,
may assist the Radicals, for, as every one has a vote, it
is to he feared that the poor will vote for the revocation.
If, however, the Conservative party is to tail, there is
reason to litipp9se that it will not do so readily, and that
serious collisions mey be the result of the victory of the
Radicals, end lead to a federal intervention."
