played the last note or cadence of the composition. Her
immortal spirit winged its way to heaven before the vibra-
tions of the music had ceased.

According to an Act of the last Congress, the United
States army should amount to 12,539, officers and men. At
present it is only B,6s3—minus 3,886, to be raised.
Stocks are now rather dull. United States Bsnk at the
last prices quoted ; Delaware and Hudson, 81* ; Ex-
change on England, 921 premium. Cotton is on the ad-
vance, say from a cent. to a cent. Great shipments of
flour are going on for England. 10,000 barrels will be
on board for Liverpool within the next two days. Price
from 9 dollars to 9 25.

METROPOLITAN POLITICAL
SUMMARY.

The Times of this morning has a leading article on
Lord Morpeth's motion in the Commons, on Friday
last, respecting a public grant for Irish railroads ; in
which our Contemporary expresses his objections to the
motion in the most indignant terms :—" We declare
most unequivocally that any British Member who, after
the week's deliberation now afforded him for analyzing
and unmasking this iniquitous plot, shall still dare
to surrender, into the hands of Irish plunderers, the
bard-earned produce of English labour, of which this
first loan of 2,500,000/. is confessedly but a diminu-
tive sample, to be followed by future millions of indefinite
amount—such false and fraudulent representative of Bri-
tish electors, ought at once to be assailed byan unanimous
ad'iress from his constituents, demanding the immediate
resignation of his seat." In another article on the sub-
ject of Mr. O'Connell's motion on Thursday last for an
assimilation of the franchises of Parliamentary electors
in England, Wales, and Ireland, the Times says :--
" Assimilate indeed ! Will Mr. Daniel O'Connell
bring in a Bill to assimilate the electors who are to
enjoy the franchises, as well as the franchises them-
selves ? Will he inspire his enlarged Irish constituency
with enlarged notions of religious and civil liberty, of
the nature of government, of the ends of policy, and
of the true benefits of British connection ? No, he
will do none of these things. He demands, under the
guise of popular franchises, increased power and domi-
nation for himself, and for those who drench him in the
waters of absolution." Hard words these—mere as-
sumption without proof!
The Morning Chronicle, speaking of a meeting of
Tories which took place on Saturday at Sir Robert
Peel's, " in obedience, it is said, to a special summons;,
observes, " It is understood that the rebellion of Friday
night, on the question of the Irish Municipal Bill, so
happily described by Mr. Sheil, led to this step. Sir
Robert read them a severe lecture on the evils of
anarchy, and the culprits, after exhibiting due signs of
contrition were forgiven their offence." In a second
article on the subject of the late outrage offered by the
French to the British flag at Mexico, our Contempo-
rary remarks as follows :—" That through the inadver-
tence or ignorance of the commander of the French cor-
vette, an ins alt has been offered to our flag, nobody
denies. That such conduct might be a just ground of
quarrel between the two nations, we will, if it pleases
our Contemporaries, readily admit. In proportion,
however, as the incident is grave, and susceptible of se-
rious consequences, it ought to be treated, not with the
petulant curiosity hitherto evinced in the House of
Commons, but with calm and temperate deliberation."
The Morning Herald, in a leading article filled with
abuse of Ministers and all things Ministerial, says,
" the present Administration depends notoriously for
very existence, on the support of Irish Papists and
English Dissenters. The subversion of the Established
Church is the task allotted to Lord Melbourne and
his associates, as the equivalent of their official wages.
In almost every movement they contrive to indicate
their hostility to the Church of England." Surely
Lord John Russell evinced anything but hostility to tiro
Church when he allowed himself to be ear-wigged by
the Bishop of London, " in the presence of another dis-
tinguished Prelate," on the subject of Lent theatrical en-
tertainments ! In his remarkable speech on that ques-
tion his Lordship exhibited the utmost meekness and
deference—not to say subserviency—to Episcopal au-
thority. Speaking of the insult lately offered to the
British flag, our Contemporary remarks—" The insult
was most public and humiliating, and most public and
humiliating ought the apology to be. It would not.
be beyond the measure of the offence to insist on the
dismissal of Admiral Baudin from the service."
The Morning Post is quite frantic about Lord
Ebrington's appointment to the Irish Viceroyalty.
" The reasonable complaint," quoth our choleric Con-
temporary, " of every honest and straightforward
Englishman against the present Government is, that it
is a shuffling and treacherous Government. It will not
stand by what it does, openly and manfully. Look, for
instance, at the perfectly O'Connell-like combination of
shuffling with bullying—of trickery with impudence--
which constituted the defence of Lord J. Russell when
called to account respecti:g Lord Ebrington, and his
declared hostility to the Church Establishment." The
remainder of the Post's leading article is precisely in
this coarse and violent strain ; we may dismiss it, there-
fore, with the remark that it ill becomes a Journal
which, from its light and fashionable character, aspires
to be the pride of the drawing-room—the " Pet of the
Petticoats !"

On the subject of Lord Ebrington's appointment, the
Morning Advertiser justly says, "if his Lordship
needed any strong recommendation to the high and re-
sponsible office to which he has been recently appointed.
that recommendation is most opportunely supplied by
the outcry which the Tory press and the Tory Peers
have made against his assumption of the Lord Lieu
tenancy of Ireland." In another article on Mr. Dun-
combo's motion, the Advertiser remarks as follows
By the debates in the Commons it would appear that
mortal sin may be incurred in one part of the kingdom
by an act which in another would be regarded, not only
as legitimate, but praiseworthy."
