" Colonel Torrens, who, several years ago, wrote by far the
ablest pamphlet which has yet appeared upon the Corn-laws
and Corn Trade, has just published a short volume or pam-
phlet on Wages and Combinations.' In giving to the world
this acute arid ingenious publication, Colonel Torrens has con-
ferred areal benefit on the working and manufacturing classes,
and through them on the community at. large. Though it con-
tains nothing particularly new in point of doctrine or illustra-
tion, it subjects some received opinions to a more rigorous
analysis than any through which they have yet passed, and
establishes acknowledged principles on a surer basis of reason-
ing and de.nonstration. At the same time, its language.
though rigidly strict and scientific, is so perspicuous as to be
generally intelligible."--Times

" THE prevailing system of Classical Edu-
cation of the higher and middle classes in this coun-
try, requires a general revision. Modern literature and the
living languages are entirely neglected—the dead languages
are taught on the old scholastic system of the middle ages."—

COMPREHENSIVE GREEK GRAMMAR, on the

" Dr. Peithman has developed a more rational method of

The chief arrival this morning is the Philadelphia racket-
ship, from New York, with six days later intelligence fron: the
United States.
On perusing the papers, we cannot find that they are of
much importance.
Commercial affairs continue much in the same state as in
the previous accounts.
The news from Mexico is of a very contradictory character ;
at one time it is stated that the Federalists are triumphant ; at
another, that the Centralists are all-powerful.
The accounts from Matam of the lbth January, state that an
express had arrived from General Arista, bringing the intern..
-ence that the Commander of the Texans, ur der Canales, had
P'
been ado a prisoner, and had been taken to Monterery, where
he will, no doubt, be shot.

Our readers who are well acquainted with the
character and designs of the priesthood, call be no
[note surprised at the arrogant conduct of the
Bishops of EXETER and LONDON in the House
of Lords on Tuesday night than at the coli.tg-lkion
between Colonel PERCEVAL and the Kiig
of
HANOVER. It is proper that the ex-Grand Master
of the Orange Lodges should be represented
England by Colonel PERCEVAL, and proper that
the Church should speak as the Bishop of EXETER
spoke of the constituted authorities of Canada, and
as the Bishop of LONDON spoke of the Clero
Reserves Bill. The former Prelate, w ith a tune
and in a manner which would well become "FORQUE-
MADA, when he laid aside his hypocritical humi-
lity, denounced Mr. POULETT THOMSON in the
same sort of language that he used to Mr.
HEAD. He was not, the Bishop implied, worthy
of belief, He had no confidence in the Right Hon.
Gentleman, and would place none in him. So the
Church, which is paid and bribed for the purpose.
upholds the authority of the State in these perilous
times. The Bishop of LONDON, acting as a Peer of
Parliament, saw in Alr,THo soN's conduct—who, in
,ranting a property to the Monks of Montreal, and
in forwarding a measure for the sale of the Clergy
Reserves, has deferred equally to the Catholic inha-
bitants of Lower, and the Dissenting inhabitants
of Upper Canada—nothing but enmity to the
Church of England, and the Bishop proposes to
legislate for Canada on that feeling towards Mr.
THOMSON. Without the least regard to the in
terest of the distant colony, or the wishes of the
people, these arrogant Churchmen will be guided
wholly by their sense of personal dignity. They
will use the power which the people of England
foolishly give them in the Legislature to maintain a
sort of Church of Ireland, but even more iniq-
chievous, in Canada. The Archbishop of CAN-
TERBURY seems to be completely led by his
two ambitious inferiors, and he lends himself
cordially to their scheme of establishing, at any
cost, a dominant priesthood in the continent of
North America.

We presume that these Prelates would not have
taken this mad course had they not been assured
of the support of the Tories. The Duke of WEL-
LINGTON gave them some aid on Tuesday night.
Like the Bishops, the Tories, we know from
past experience, have no repugnance to throw a
colony into convulsions for a party triumph. We
anticipate, therefore, that the Tories will coalesce
with the Bishops in addressing the Crown to re-
ject the Clergy Reserves Bill, and so render the
settlement of this troublesome question impossible.
Be it so. The empire is already aware that the
Tories are the enemies of the national prosperity.'
By opposing the settlement.of.tlie Canada question,
they will only confirm their character. Though
for the immediate peace of the colony it would be
most alarming, for the ultimate good of the whole
empire, enabling it the sooner to get rid of the
priest and Tory faction, it would be most desirable
that the Tories should support the arrogant priests
in keeping alive strife in Canada.

The Paris Journals of Tuesday publish a telegraphic
despatch from the Sub-Prefect of Bayonne to the
Minister of the Interior, dated the 30th ult., announcing
the capitulation of the strong Carlist fortress of Castel-
lote. The words of the despatch are as follow :
" The fort of Castellote capitulated on the 26th, after
a vigorous resistance. The garrison surrendered at
discretion."
The French Ministers who are Deputies have all
been re-elected by overwhelming majorities. Only one
vote was given against the return of M. THIERS ; four
against M. DI!: REMUSAT, and seven against M. DE
MALLEVILIA, Under-Secretary of the Interior. It
is now admitted on all hands that M. THIERS is
well able to keep his ground, and that the KING would
be mad were he, under existing circumstances, to at-
tempt by any Court intrigue to dissolve the present
Cabinet.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF LIEUT.-GEN
Sue War. THORNTON, K.C.B.—We regret to announce the
death of Lieut. Gen. Sir Wm. Thornton, K.C.8., Colonel of
the 135th Regiment of Infantry, &c. &c., who terminated his
existence by self-destruction on Monday last. For some time
he had occasionally exhibited eccentricities of character, which
had not, however, until lately, excited any alarm in the minds
of his relatives, and on Tuesday, when an inquest was held on
his body, the f .ct of his insanity was proved by several wit-
aesses. The Jury of course returned a verdict of " Temporary
derangement." Sir Wm. Thornton was a bachelor, and a very
fine looking man.
CHURCH EXTENSION BILL.—A correspon-
dent in Sheffield informs us that a meeting, got up by the
clergy, was held in that place on Monday, to pass resolutions
in favour of this justly obnoxious Bill. The result was rather
a curious one. 'the Vicar of the parish, the Chairman, when
a resolution was put, simply called upon those in favour of it to
hold up their hands, without putting the other question to the
vote ; and when the Chairman had gone through the rout ne,
the meeting of itself called for those of a contrary opinion,
when every motion except one (the numbers on this being
about equal) was lost by considerable majorities. Press of mat-
ter prevents us from giving the excellent letter of our corre-
spondent.

LIEGE, MARCH 20.--yesterday morning
plorable accident occurred in the coal mine of Ivoz. Nines

rope broke, and they were killed on the spot.
THE POLICE.—A Correspondent complains
bitterly, and with reason, of two policemen intruding themselves
into a room in the neighbourhood of Holborn, where a com-
mittee was engaged in devising the best means of procuring a
pardon far Frost and his companions. They might as well
force themselves every night into Brookes's or the Carlton, or
into a private house without a warrant. It is wanton interfe-
rence with the liberty of the subject like this that makes the
people dissatisfied with the law, and those who administer it.
An accident of a serious nature occurred on
Tuesday morning, upon the King's-road. A little before seven
o'clock, the wheelers of the Times coach had just been put-to
at the bottom of Middle-street, and the ostler was standing at
their heads, waiting for the coachman, when, from some cause
which does not appear to be known, the horses took fright, and
started off towards the Cliff. The ostler attempted to check
them, and ran at their heads to the King's-road, where he lost
his hold, and the wheels passed over one of his legs. The
horses then dashed into the Middle-street gap, the pole striking
aCainst one of the posts. One horse ran through the opening
of the steps leading to the beach, where he remained some mi-
nutes, suspended by the harness. Several persons who had
witnessed the accident prcceeded to unloose the traces; and
the horse was by this means lowered to the beach, without re-
ceiving the slightest injury. The coach also was not damaged;
and both it and the horses soon afterwards proceeded on their
journey. The ostler, whose name iss Edward Mitchell, was
immediately attended by Mr. Rueg, who, finding the poor fel-
low's thigh fractured, recommended his removal to the County
Hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the
