measure succeed. A large plan of operations, to be
carried out step by step—measure by measure—would
combine all the Liberals, and make each one of them
postpone, at present, his own favourite scheme, in
order to see it triumph in its turn. With such a plan
it would be of little consequence who are the leaders of
the Liberals, and thefivouid not have as at present to re-
gard the unfortunate turn events have taken in Canada
as a God-send, and to look forward to the arrival and
discontent of Lord DuR ti AM, as affording them pos-
sibly a head, and a combined means of action.
Having such a plan of operation, if Lord DURHAM
will be instrumental in carrying it into effect, he shall
be welcome to our ranks. ; but we could then dispense with
him. A good cause like oar's does not depend on an in-
dividual; and the Liberals ought not, by placing Lord
DURHAM at their head, without any such plan, to give
themselves a master and a monarch. If the policy of
the Liberals be based on sound principles, and capable
of reduction to practice, as we believe it is, some such
plan as we have suggested ought to be acted on. As
a writer in the London and Westminster says, the
Radicals, as politicians, have their spurs yet to win, and
if they do not now win them, they will never receive
the honour of kii4;hthood.

it. The differences of opinion among the Commis-
sioners, argue the existence of a Ministerial disposi-
tion to do that which is impossible—namely, to re-
concile all interests, and to please all parties. We
are as yet unacquainted with the instructions given to
the English Commissioners, but we trust that they
are so ample as to enable them to extend the prin-
ciple of reciprocity as far as France can be pre-
vailed upon to go hand in hand with us. We
want no exclusive protection for pet interests—
not even so much as would restrain in the slightest
degree the exportation of our most valuable machinery.
We are not so blind as pot to see that the necessary
effect of laws to restrain the exportation of machines,
is to offer a bounty to other States to import the ma-
chine-makers; and this argument holds good in the case
of all articles of manufacture sought to he protected by
prohibitive duties. The wider the market is thrown open
the better for all parties. Besides, what will be the
consequence of a continuance of the prohibitive sys-
tem between England and France, now that the latter
country has established a free commerce with
Belgium ? Why, simply this :—The Belgians wil
become the factors for both, and consequently enrich
themselves at their mutual expense. English pro-
hibited articles will be carried into France by way
of Belgium, so that the French manufacturer, while
nominally protected by his Government, will find
self in a worse condition, by a thousand times, than if he
had to contend with a direct competition, which, while
sharpening his invention, would enrich half the other
branches of useful industry in his neighbourhood.

Dr. PALEY says an Established Church is intended
solely to preserve the doctrines of Christianity, and that
to employ it for any other purpose is to degrade
and injure it. Such being Dr. PALEY'S opinion,
we beg to direct the attention of the public
to the assertion of the Times of this morn-
ing, to be found in the article we insert from that
Journal, that the Church of England is now
one of the means of preventing the people
from having a democratic Government. There
would be no sense in preventing them if they
did not wish it—whence it appears that the
people pay the Church of England some five mil-
lions per year, und,.'r the name of serving the cause of
religion, to keep them from having their own free
way. The poor man's Church is an instrument for
maintaining the Aristocracy of the country, with all
its enormous corruptions, and for preventing the
poor man from having the rights and liberties he seeks.
We are glad to see the Times so justly describe the
Church, as a political instrument of political op-
pression.

Of general news there is very little in the Paper:

The Weather, according to Murphy's Almanac,
for 1839, which has just appeared, is to be very cold this
winter, particularly towards the end of December. Mr.
Murphy's predictions seem already in a fair way of being
r..alised, for the frost has set in, for these two days, very
intensely. This will add to the difficulties of the country
fir the locking up the ground will immediately throw a
great number of persons out of work. There will be an
end to their wages, and the beginning of their starvation.
INTIMIDATING BEGGARS.—Some time ago two,
sailor-like fellows and a black man visited the town of Os-
westry and its environs. In some parts of the country,
i.nd to detached houses in particular, they bent their way,
and not only begged, but demanded money, meat, clothing ;
in some instances even pouncing their clutches upon articles
in the very face of the inmates. Their manner of ap-
proach was to let the black villain stand forty or fifty yards
off, in sight, whilst the other two went up to the house,
observing, " the black savage yonder is too wild to bring
closer to the house, and we must have something to satisfy
him !" This succeeded well.
A. Tudor, a waggoner in the employment of Mr.
Hazledine, of this town, on the 14th inst., was coming
home with a load of bricks ; near Burcott-gate, he fel!
from the shafts of the waggon, on which he had been riding,
and the wheels passed over him. His death occurred in a
few hours afterwards.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
VILLAINY.—On Sunday, the 11th inst., some
villain killed a horse belonging to Mr. Budge, of Milton
Abbott, by stabbing it in the side and in the throat. The
horse had been purchased but a few days before, of Mr.
Couch, of Bodmin, and was a valuable one.— West B,iton.
The party spirit which has so long existed in Sud-
bury has suffered no abatement by the defeat of the Li-
berals in the Parliamentary contests. Indeed, it appears
r Ather to have stimulated them to fresh exertionq, and ae-
corclng'y we find that a fierce struggle has taken place at
the Municipal elections. The Reformers had succeeded
in filling three out of four vacancies in the Town Council
with members of their own body ; and as this gave them a
preponderance, they have availed themselves of it to effect
a complete change in the Municipal body.--Mercury.
SEASONABLZ GENEROSITY.—We have been in
formed of an act of generosity, which at this time is pecu-
li trly opportune and seasonable ; this is, in the circum-
stance of Colonel Norcliffe, of Langton Hall, near Mal-
ton, distributing a short time ago, to all the poor in the
village, a pair of blankets each, and half a sovereign in
money to purchase any other necessaries they might stand
in need of. This well-timed act only adds another to the
already numerous instances in which the worthy and re-
spected Colonel has shown his kindness and liberality, and
which is worthy of all imitation.—Hull Advertiser.
MODESTY --At a meeting of the Writers to the
Signet last week, a motion was made and carried, to seek
compensation for the loss the craft sustains by the abolition
of captions and hornings. What next ?—Scotsnzan.

An Ultra-Radical " Demonstration," we perceive
by the Leicestershire Mercury, took place last week
at Leicester. The meeting appears not to have been
so numerously attended as was expected, but this is
accounted for by the very unfavourable state of the
weather. The rain poured down incessantly during
the time the proceedings were going on ; and the
assembly, which, had the day been fine, would
probably. have been ten times as large, did not
amount to more than a thousand persons. Mr.
FEARGUS O'CONNOR was, as usual, the great orator
of the day, and his speech contained the usual topics.
His attack upon Mr. O'CONNELL was rather sharp ;
but it must be said, in palliation of this, that the
Hon. Gentleman has laid himself open to the hostility
of the English Radiculs by the way he has of late
spoken of them at public wieetiogs. The following is
not a bad specimen of retort :

" O'CONNELL says we arc for murder and blood-
shed I This comes well from him, when he pre-
sented a petition to the House of Commons signed by
men from 16 to 64 years of age, saying, We, fighting
men, do humbly petition your Honourable House
for our rights I' Now, I never went so far as
that in my life. He then proceeded to ridi-
cule Mr. O'CorrNELL's threat of invading England
at the head of an :army of fighting men, from sixteen
to sixty-four, to put down the Charter agitation, re-
marking that he Mr. (O'CONNELL) would be safe
enough, having very conveniently ' Registered a vow'
against fighting. He (Mr. O'CONNELL) would have
all the benefit, but none of the fighting."
The People's Charter was unanimously adopted,
and in the afternoon the proceedings of the day were
crowned by a festive entertainment, given in the Town
Hall.

The Commissioners of Woods and Forests, to
whom the superintendence of the road from London
to Holyhead was transferred by a late Act of Parlia-
ment, laid before the House of Commons last Ses-
sion, the Reports of the Surveyors appointed by them
to examine the state of that important line of road.
It appears from these Reports, which are the result of
a very minute and careful investigation, that the road
is, generally speaking, in excellent order, and that very
considerable improvements have lately been made in
the levels in various places. Between Redbourn and
the village of Allesly on the other side of Coventry,
hills have been cut down and hollows filled up at
eight different points of the road. By these cuttings
and embankments the rate of acclivity has been greatly
reduced—in one instance from 1 in 24 to 1 in 80.
In another case, by going round the base, instead of
smack over the top of a hill, as was generally prac-
tised by the " wisdom of our ancestors," an ascent of
58 feet is entirely avoided at the expense of only 55
yards of additional length.

Two children, belonging to a poor man of the parish
of Denham, have been taken out of their graves in that
church-yard, on the confession of a girl of twelve years of
a:ce, an elder sister, of having been the cause of both their
deaths. The youngest, about two months old, she killed
by smothering it with a pillow about five months ago ; the
eldest she confessed having caused its death about three
weeks back ; this child was more than two years old. A
Jury then sat on the body, under Mr. Grose, the County
Coroner ; the verdict was recorded—died from apoplexy.
No suspicion otherwise was then entertained.—Norwich
Mercury.
It was noted that at the late German and Prussian
wool fairs few English buyers made their appearance, and
priees of wools generally were high. The German dealers,
it appears, had, on the contrary, speculated largeiy, being
induced more particularly by the reported and really fine
appearance of the flocks, and the superior quality of the
fleeces. Heavy stocks were thus accumulated at Berlin,
Stettin, and other places, by which the holders became
distressed, and therefore unable to support prices. Under
these circumstances, it is stated in advices from Berlin,
that very considerable purchases have recently been made by
English houses who have appeared at market, and two or
three Hamburgh firms having establishments here. The
best sorts of wool have been most. sought after, and the re-
duction in prices upon those since the fairs was equal to
eight or ten rixdollars the quintal, the sales ranging from
65 to 85 the quintal. Sacrifices, therefore, to some
amount have been submitted fro by the German wool-
staplers this year, of which, however, they will complain
the less, as last year the result was the other way, and the
English buyers laid in their purchases at the highest rates,
the markets on the conclusion of their operations having
receded considerably. The delay in the purchases for con-
sumption, and the marked absence of English buyers from
the fairs, are said to be attributable to the determination of
waiting the receipt, so as to ascertain the amount of orders
expected from the United States. The total of the
sales of wool made in Berlin is stated at 10,000 to 12,000
quintals, and the stocks still on hand there at 40,000
quintals.

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals
of Friday and Saturday. The Commerce, the Na-
tional, the Courrier Francais, and the Siecle, de-
nounce as precipitate and unsatisfactory the sentence
of the Court-martial, acquitting the sentinel BELABRE
of the murder of the man shot in a state of intoxication
while attempting to scale the garden-wall of the Tuile-
ries. According to these Journals, the public had at
least a right to expect some information relative to the
secret orders given to the sentinels on duty, whereas
upon this important point all investigation was very
carefully avoided.
The Presse announces the appointment of Com-
missioners on the part of Great Britain and France,
between whom conferences are about to be opened for
the revision of the commercial tariffs of the two coun-
tries. The English Commissioners are Messrs.
M‘GREGOR and ASTON, attached to the British
Embassy ; and the French, Messrs. DAVID and
GRETERIN, and the Baron DE FREVILLE.
No longer ago than Saturday last, The Sun,
in alluding to the French and Belgian Commer-
cial Treaty, insisted that a change in our com-
mercial relations with France was become indis-
pensable to the prosperity of both nations ; and there-
fore we have great pleasure in observing that the Go-
vernment has been before-hand with us in concerting,
.the application of a remedy. The first pro-
position was made by England ; so that . to
our Ministers is due all the credit of the
initiative in a course dictated by the soundest com-
mercial policy. The Presse represents the French
Commissioners as men of most opposite political sen-
timents. M. DAVID is a champion of the prohibi-
tive system, while the more enlightened understanding
of the Baron DE FREVILLE inclines him to go all lterandgethsisintshueppogrrteaotf

,Fverere-
ship. As for M. GRETERIN, he is a Director
of Customs, and ex officio a political nondescript. lie
is, however, a great man of "business," and has
much commercial experience. Should he incline to
the
of the Baron DE FREVILLE all will go
vw
well ;iebust if he espouse the theory of M. DAVID' the
Commission will come to nothing. We cannot but
fear from the composition of the Commission on
the part of France, that a complete system of
commercial reciprocity is hardly to be expected from

For Pope's exquisite good sense, take the following,
which is a master-piece :—" Nothing hinders the constant
agreement of people who live together but mere vanity ; a
secret insisting upon what they think their dignity or merit,
and inward expectation of such an over-measui e of defer-
ence and regard as answers to their own extravagant false
scale, and which nobody can pay, because none but them-
selves can tell readily what pitch it amounts to." Thousands
of houses would be happy to-morrow if this passage were
written in letters of gold over the mantel-piece, and the
offenders could have the courage to apply it to themselves.
—Leigh Hunt in the Monthly Chronicle.
A young woman has been arrested in a village of
the Haut Rhin on suspicion of having poisoned her father
and two of her brothers, whose sudden deaths at short
intervals during the last few months had excited suspicion,
and whose bodies, when exhumed and examined, presented
evident traces of the action of arsenic. The cause of this
crime is believed to have been the reproaches made to her
by her victims for her improper conduct with a young
miller of the same village, whom her father had refused to
allow her to marry.
JOBBERY.—The Aberdeen Herald states that there
have been some strange doings at Gordon's Hospital.
Says the Herald—,, We trust the Governors will yet
reconsider their votes. The public voice is loud against
them, and very justly so. They have voted away, ac
their last meeting, what would maintain five or six poor
boys at the Hospital, or the interest of a legacy of up-
wards of 2,0001. Such conduct, they may rest assurQd,
will be any thing but an encouragement to the benevolent
to intrust funds to their care.

One of those " extraordinary occurences" which oc-
casionally happen to vary the dull routine of human affairs,
took place at Bristol, last week, by the marriage of Mr.

As the Highlander coach left the village of Beauly,
on Monday evening, a young lad, son of Mr. Roderick
Morrison, wood manager there, clung for a short distance

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY.—The de-
mand for Cotton to-day has been limited. The sales do
not much exceed 8,000 bags, at steady prices, viz., 200
Peranams, at 9kd. to 90. ; 250 Maranhams, at Sid. to

We have received this morning a Montreal Paper, the
Morning Courier, of the same date as previously received,
which says it was reported this day that his Excellency the
Governor-General's departure from Quebec is postponed
till towards the middle of next month, when he will pro-
ceed by the River, and not by the United States.

We have received New Brunswick Papers to the
14th Oct.
MILITARY MOVEMENTS.—Orders were received at
Halifax, on Wednesday last, for one of the 'regiments at
present in that garrison to be in rea liness for embarkation
immediately for Quebec. We presume the reason for
increasing the large body of troops in the Canadas is the
threatening aspect of affairs on the Canadian frontier,
owing tl the illicit introduction of warlike implements from
the United States, and the reported organization of a
large body of men, whose head-quarters are said to be in
the State of Ohio, for the purpose of attempting an inva-
sion of Canada.—Halifax Royal Gazette.
Lieutenant Gifford, of the Medea steamer, arrived this
forenoon with despatches from his Excellency the Com-
mander-in-Chief from Quebec. He left Quebec on
Saturday evening last, and landed at Rctou. We
learn by him that the Inconstant and Andromache
were to sail in a day or two for PictAt, or this place, to
convey either the '23d or 93d Regiment, now in this garri-
son, to Quebec. This requisition has been made for troops,
we understand, in consequence of some suspicious move-
ments on the American frontier, near Upper Canada.
Excellency Sir George Arthur had arrived at Quebec,
from Toronto, to consult with his Excellency, the Earl of
Durham, on the measures necessary to be adopted for the
defence of the province.
BOUNDARY LlNE.—Various rumours being in circula-
tion with respect to the proposed exploration and survey of
the disputed boundary line, by the state of the Main, upon
its own responsibility, we feel happy in tieing able to set the
question of intention at rest, by publishing the corres:iond-
once which has recently taken place between Governor
West and his Excellency Sir John Harvey. His Excel-
lency's reply is conceived in so fair a spirit of acquiescence,
in reasonable demand, and of resistance even to constructive
aggression, as must impress all parties with the conviction
that the great interests involved in the important question,
are safe in his hands.

A private letter received from Amsterdam this morning,
reports that the regiment of Cuirassiers, quartered in that
city, has received orders to proceed immediatedly to the
Belgian frontiers, in consequence of 25,000 French troops
being on their march to the above destination.

The wind still continuing from the eastward, the New
York packets of the Ist instant, and the Inconstant frigate,
with the Earl of Durham on board, have not arrived.
At length the letters and papers have been received
by the Garrick, which packet has arrived at Liver-
pool from New York. The information they bring has
already been anticipated. The report which prevailed in
Paris of the death of Don Carlos is too absurd at present to
be credited, and deemed in the City a Stock-jobbing trick,
although it had the effect in Paris of improving Spanish
per cent.

PENRITH AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—A meet
ng is to take place in this city, on Wednesday next, for
the purpose of aiding this undertaking. A numerous De-
putation is expected from Penrith ; and we have every
reason to believe that the proceedings will be most inte-
resting to this part of the country. We hear that a consi-
derable number of shares have now been taken ; and if the
subject be taken up with spirit here, no doubt need be en-
tained but the work will go forward.—Carlisle Journal.
On Tuesday last the attention of an officer em-
ployed on the Chelmer Navigation Canal was attracted by the
assemblage of a considerable number of rooks in a meadow ;
on going to the spot on which they had congregated he
discovered an eel which had been left upon the grass by
the flood, and on which the black tribe were feasting.
They had picked a hole in its side, but when taken it was
still ali; e ; it vv,igheil three pounds and a half.—Chelmsford
Chronicle.
About half-past four o'clock yesterday morning, as
a labouring man was walking across the fields, near Snake's-
lane, Woodford, he discovered an unusual glare of light in
the upper part of the house of a gentleman named Lewis,
which has been for some tinle under repair. He instantly
informed the horse and foot patrols on the road of the
circumstance, when in a short time the parish engine
of Woodford was procured and brought into operation,
ably worked by several of the inhabitants ; but such was
the rapidity with which the destructive element spread it-
self, that in a few minutes the whole building was in flames.
A mounted express was sent to London for additional as-
sistance, and about seven o'clock the Wellclose-square and
Jeffries-square engines, and firemen of the London esta-
blishment, reached Woodford ; but notwithstanding every
exertion a greater portion of the building, as well as the
tools of the workmen who had been employed in the re-
pairs, were entirely consumed. How the fire originated is
at present unknown, as no person was on the premises.
We observe with deep regret that the vile crime of
incernliarism has been again manifested in this county. On
the night of Friday, the 16th inst., a bean rick, on the farm
of Mr. Collett, of Keevil, was wilfully set on fire, and
totally consumed. The fire also extended to a barley-rick,
but through the exertions of persons on the spot, nearly the
whole of this was preserved. On the previous Wednesday,
a quantity of stubble, belonging to Mr. Collett, was set on
fire and consumed. During the time the fire was burning,
some wretch connected with the Labourers' Union at Trow-
bridge, openly gloried in the scene, and said that it was
merely a beginning. The fellow sur,,ly ought to have been
~ppr,hcLickd. Ou Tuesuay night last, a barn belonging to •
Mr. Bartlett, of Keevil, was set on fire, and with its contents

BRISTOL SUGAR MA RKET, Nov.23.—We have
nothing to state worth notice this week. Our market re-
mains excessively dull and inactive. The few purchases
made have been at steady rates, and appear to be more on
speculation than for actual demand, with the exception of
what the refiners take for immediate consumption.—

MARCH OF MIND.—An honest farmer in the
State of Pensylvania, married a Miss from a fashionable
boarding-school for a second wife. He was struck dumb
with her elequence, and gaped wonders at his wife's learn-
ing. " You might," said he, " bore a hole through the solid
airth, and chuck a millstone, and shee'l tell you to a shav-
ing how long the stone will be a going clean through.
She has learnt kimistry and cockneyology, and talks heap
about ox hides and comical infinities. I used to think
it was air I sucked in every time that I expired ; howsom-
ever she felled me that she knowed better—she told me
that I had been sucking in two kinds of gin, or ox gin and
high-drawn gin ! My stars ! I'm a tumble-down tee-towtal
temperance man, and yet have been drinking ox gin and
high-drawn gin all my life."
On Saturday last John Davies, a man employed to
attend the bark mill, belonging to Mr. Thomas Topham,
tanner, Chester, was found dead and dreadfully' mangled in
the mill. From the evidence adduced at the inquest before
F. Thomas, Esq., Coroner, it appeared there is a safe-
guard used to cover the cutters in the mill. This was
found off, and the poor fellow lying amongst them, with one
arm dragged from his body, and his frame otherwise horribly
mangled.—Carnarvon Herald.
An anecdote to the following purpose is going the
round of the papers :—One of the most pleasing cantatricee
of the Parisian stage was a short time since on a provincial
tour with her husband, when she found herself exposed to
the disagreeable assiduities of a rich old Turcaret of one of
the principal towns of France. This person could devise
no other means of making himself welcome to the lady than
by writing her a very impertinent letter, and enclosing in it
a note for 500 f. Feeling the insult very warmly, the lady
put the note into her husband's hands, who, to avenge him-
self as a man of wit and good sense, wrote exactly a similar
note to the wife of the old gentleman, a young woman like
his own, enclosed in it the 500 f. note, and sent it to her

I with all proper mystery and precaution. This lady, not
less insulted in her affections than the cant atrice, gave the
letter to her husband, who concealed his astonishment, and
affected to treat the affair as one that had better be hushed
up than made a noise about. His wife, however, who was
not aware of the real circumstances of the case, was by no
means disposed to take it so easily, and accordingly went
off to the cantatrice to tell her of husband's supposed infi-
delity. An explanation ensued, and the result has been a
legal demand of separation, corps et biens, made by the
I:dy against the old gentleman.—Galignani's Messenger.
MURDER-AND HIGHWAY ROBBERY, AT HARE-
FIELD, MIDDLESEX.—Considerable excitement prevails at
Harefield, Middlesex, in consequence of the death of a man
named Edward Jones, who was waylaid and brutlly ill-
treated by two persons at present unknown. Jones, who
was sixty years of age, was head, gardener to Mr. William
Haynes of Harefield-park, in whose service he had been but
a few weeks. Yesterday fortnight he went to Uxbridge to
call upon a few friends. He paid a visit to Mr. Stacey, the
gas proprietor, where he stopped the greater part of the
afternoon. He there drank a few glasses of wine, and when
he left he was quite sober. He called at the Swan and 80t-
...

tle, a public-house near the bridge over the canal, where he
made an engagement with the landlord to preside at a con-
cert which was to take place on the following Friday. He left
perfectly sober about nine o'clock. That night he did not re-
turn to his home at Harefield. The next morning he was
found among some timber over a wall by a constable of the
Uxbridge police. He was almost insensible, and upon
examination his head appeared to have received some
severe injuries, and a great quantity of blood had escaped
from the wounds. A portion of the unfortunate man's hair
was upon the timber. He was taken to the station-house
at Uxbridge, from whence he walked home. He took the
road by Denham, and on his way called at a beer-shop,
where his face and head were washed. From this place he
proceeded towards home, which he reached about midday.
He complained of great pain on the right side of the head,
when, as he seemed to be suffering severely, he was put to
bed. Upon being questioned, he stated that shortly after
he left the Swan and Bottle he met two men, who, on
seeing him, made way for him to pass between them. One
of them gave him a tremendous blow at the back of his
head, which was immediately repeated by the other man.
He instantly fell, and for some time was unable to breathe.
After this he scarcely knew what became of him. He
did not know how he got over the wall, but the general
opinion is that he was flung over. He states that he had
some money in his pockets, but none was found on search-
ing them at his home. He says that one of the men was
tall, and dressed in a fustian frock-coat, and that the other
was shorter, and dressed in a Guernsey coat. Jones was
promptly attended by Mr. Haynes and Mr. Norton, sur-
geons, who rendered every assistance in their power. No
danger was apprehended till Tuesday last, when the symp-
toms of delirium, which had previously shown themselves
oecasionally, assumed an alarming character. From that
day he gradually sunk, and died on Friday last. On
Monday last Atkins, the constable of Haretield, gave in-
formation to the high constable of Uxbridge, who has
given notice to Mr. Stirling, the coroner, that an inquest
may be held upon the body.
THE SEASON.—Mr. Walter Beattie, Middleton,
has now in his garden several gooseberry trees ; some of
them are in full bloom, and others have small gooseber-
ries on them.
