"TEN YEARS AGO !"
Tide Morning Herald of Tuesday.

BY A TORY EX-PLACEMAN.
Ten years ago—ten years ago I
My hopes were all out in full summer blow;
Light was my spirit, and bright my eye,
The Devil a sorrow or care had I 1
I drank—l gamed—and I danced away,
As tho' life were a lengthened holiday ;
Four times in the year I made my bow
At the Treasury, closed against me now ;
And I took my post with a smirking air
On the Tory side of the Speaker's chair,
Where I laughed to behold the Whigs' condition,
As they shivered from cold and inanition,
In the polar regions of Opposition ;
Oh, who made a gayer, or prouder show
Than I did—ten short years ago ?

But now how changed my life appears 1
I am sunk chin-deep in a vale of tears;
Hope has bid me a long adieu,
And Friendship, of course, has bid farewell too ;
I've lost my credit, I've lost my place,
And at Court no longer can show my face;
My mistress is gone, the cunning fox,
And gone, alas, is my Opera-box ;
Stultz looks savage, and Crockford shy,
And Tattersall grim, when I pass them by ;
Where once I was welcomed with cordial grins,
As one of the Tory squad of INS,
I ara now received with jeers and pouts,
As one of the Tory squad of OUTS ;
Alas, how changed from the dashing show
I made—but ten short years ago I

SKETCHES OF OUR CONTRO.

VERSIALISTS.

No. INT.—THE REV. J. H. HINTON, M.A.
Some men will arrest the attention, and carry
along with them the interest of an audience, by
beauty and grandeur of imaginative picturings—
others—by the depth and profundity of intellectual
research—some by the cogency of close, continuous

trains of reasoning—others (and perhaps fewer,
than any other class) by an originality which

—out of things unheeded from their commonness,
and tame in their irreflective acknowledgement—

elicits the elements of new and striking impres-

sions. Mr. Hinton is of the last order.

His originality is not so much in the starting of
new and undiscovered ideas, or the investing of

them in novel and more attractive adornments ; it

lies neither in depth of intellect nor power of ima-
gination ; it is rather in an active application of the

judgment, in an energetic exercise of common
sense and common feeling on every topic that En-

lists his attention. It is not so much in the no-

velty of his mental faculties as in the unusual vigour

and activity of their use. It is not so much that he
invents thoughts, as that he unfolds them ; not so
much that he originates ideas which other men
have not, as that he looks at things with a liveli-
ness of mental vision, which enables him to see
what other men pass by.

There are few whose discoveries awaken, upon
common topics, so much of interested attention as
Mr. Hinton's. Hearing him, ideas flash upon you

which before you never received, and which yet ap-

pear to be most natural and almost involuntary
consequences. You are impressed with the thought,

and wonder that you had never thought so. There is
hence a freshness, a vividness about his state-

ments which allows not the mind to flag or weary

till the end.

Mr. Hinton's main characteristic, indeed his
guiding principle, is the confident appeal to common
sense—the constant resort to an enlightened reason.
Hefearlessly rests his case upon upon this basis.
Even on the awful truths of religion, he hesitates
not to declare that they are not opposed to,
or contradictory of—though, of course, he by no
means pretends that in all cases they must be dis-
coverable by, or entirely comprehensible to—the
natural dictates of an informed and properly direc-

ted judgment.
It is on this principle is founded his:" Harmony
of Religious Truth with Human Reason"—a work
vindicating the whole scheme of Revelation on the
grounds which reason alone supply—and a work,
which we scruple not to affirm, is worthy of being
Placed among the clearest and firmest elucidations of
the Evidences of Christianity—and, from its nature,
far more calculated to be influential with the mass
of mankind than the profound abstractions of But-
ler or the minute investigations of Paley.
In a word, he has never allowed his judgment to
lie dormant—he has always kept active the discern-
ing and the reasoning faculties within him—and he
never scruples to bring them, on any subject, into
active and vigorous play.

United to this freshness of thought, there is a
simple truthfulness of feeling, arising from the
finest exercise of natural and unsophisticated sen-
sibilities ; the one acts and re-acts upon the other,
they harmonize together, and the charm of
both is heightened.
Mr. Hinton's style and utterance follow his

thought. As he thinks, he speaks ; that is to say,
his discourses are not shaped into any other order
or arrangement than the course and current of his
thoughts. In fact, there is nothing of what is
understood by style, either in his discourses or
their delivery ; they are the natural flow of ideas,
producing as natural and unlabourcd a flow of
words—nothing artificial, or studied, or prepared,
in the construction of sentences ; his language
concise and simple, and his delivery, as much as
possible, like the ordinary tone of conversation.
There is in it, however, a kind of trembling
anxiety—a feverish nervousness; his voice, now

tremulously plaintive, now slightly dissonant—
musical, but untuned ; and the imaginative might,
in his pale and thought-worn countenance, and
languid, yet contemplative eyes, which remind one
of a fire that has exhausted itself, and dimly
lingers on its flame, picture an enthusiast.. And
such he is—an enthusiast (let us be understood),
in the true sense of the term ; of a mind which,
in aught that borders on the sacred, feels
an ardour of devotion which acts almost like the
consciousness of inspiration, or, at least, of high
and hallowed influence. this is the enthusiasm
which has often retained thoughtless, mirth-seeking
hundreds in breathless interest, listening to the fer-
vent field-preaching of Mr. Hinton, marked as it is
by a pathos and a power which could hardly be
equalled.
The same enthusiasm, when brought to bear on
a subject so closely connected with religi on as the
Church controversy—influences him on the side of
Voluntaryism, with a depth of conviction and an in.
tensity of feeling which cannot be controlled. And
in an institution such as the national religious
establishment—of bearings so diverse--of relations
so numerous—of influences so multiplied—many
are the points, salient and assailable, on which the
acute common sense of Mr. Hinton throws its severe
scrutiny, and applies its powerful—because most
popularly appreciated—tests. His reply to the
celebrated Chalmerian Lectures was marked with
all the severe scrutiny of a chemical analysis ; and
the highly-wrought rhetoric of the Doctor was dis-
sected with a piercing acumen of investigation,
which could not but elicit whatever was frail and
feeble in its composition.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.--On Saturday evening
last, about seven o'clock, the waggon man of Mr. Robson, mil-
ler, New North Road, Durham, whilst near Aykley Heads, on
his return from Newcastle with a load of wheat, met his master
near that spot, and on leaping from the shafts of the waggon
to speak to him, he fell under the fore-wheel, and both wheels
passing over his chest, he died instantaneously. The deceased's
name was Hervey, and lamentable to relate, only a few weeks
ago he had a child killed by a fall down stairs.

MOIN EY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

(WEDNESDAY EVENING.)
TIAE S.—The intelligence that the British ships had
commenced reprisals on the Neapolitans caused an uneasy
sensation in the English Stock market in the latter part of
the ?ay. Consols have declined both for Money and the
Account, and are quoted 904 to for the former, and 91
(sellers) fur the latter. The unfunded securities have,
on the contrary, advanced, and the quotation for Exchequer
Bills is 245. to 6s. premium.
Spani.ili Stock is slat, and there does not seem at present
much disposition to speculate in Foreign securities. The
Actives are quoted 28,3,- to Portuguese are stationary
at 3.51 to a for the Five per Cents. ; also Dutch Two-and-
a- Half, which are at 534 to 4.
The Share market is still the object of attention, almost
exclusive. Great Western have again considerably ad-
vanced, and are at 20 to 2 premium. Brighton have im-
proved to 8- to 8 discount, and Birmingham maintain their
premium of 73 to 75.
The shipments of bullion from Dover for the Continent
have been resumed. Within the last few days they have
amounted to 70,000 oz. of silver, in coin and bullion, all
for Calais.

A high and desorved compliment has been paid to the
report of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce by Mr.
David Hubbard, of the American Chamber of Representa-
tives, in a letter to his constituents of the state of Alabama,
devoted exclusively to the subject. He considers that the
report goes a long way further than anything he had ad•
vanced in shedding light on the enormities of a national
bank, conducted by " selfish irresponsible men," with more
power over the human race than could be enjoyed by
any monarchs without a paper system--a system which
robs children and mothers of their bread, and under
hich the world groans, that the " rich may be made
richer," and the powerful more powerful. After quoting
the part of the report which points out the losses
to the manufacturing and mercantile community, by
forced expansion and contraction, and the fact that
in 1837 the fiats in bankruptcy were 1,939, whereas
the average of the four previous years was 1,266, he calls
upon his constituents who are merchants to look at this

item, and not give a fatal blow to their prosperity by
clinging to the idea of a national bank, since it is proved
by the report that the late mischief's were produced by the
lianks of England and the United States. Ile proceeds
quoting the statement of the distress of the working
classes in the commercial and manufacturing towns, and
asks his fellow-citizens whether, such being a small por-
tion of the fruits gathered from the national Bank of
England, they desire to ingraft a branch thereof on
the tree planted by their fathers, in order that their
children may gather like fruit. If they have such a
desire, he recommends them to read the report, when
they will cut up by the roots every sprig and scion, that
their children may not even be tempted to eat the fruit.
lie regards the report as of immense value to the Ame-
rican people, saying that it comes " from the highest
authority on the subject upon which it treats," as pro-
ceeding from a city (Manchester) which understands com-
mercial and manufacturing interests as well as any city in
the world, and through an organ which, it is right to pre-
sume, conveys a fair and full representation of that city's
knowledge and experience, The information contained
in the report he considers conclusive against the esta-
blishment of a national bank as a regulator of currency,
and applying it to the affairs of his own nation, says,
that if so powerful an institution, located among capi-
talists, with a thousand times the property of his fel-
low-citizens, has so signally failed as a regulator, and
caused so much embarrassment and distress, it would be
absurd to expect success from a similar institution in Ame-
rica, where circumstances arc still less favourable.
Another result which he considers established by the re-
port is, that when contraction becomes necessary, the
Bank, in its struggle to meet it engagements, has
caused a greater loss by the reduction of prices than the
whole amount of its capital, and ten times as much as
could have been occasioned even by so clumsy a method
of exchange as transporting specie in waggons, and he
regards as of the highest importance the connection
(shown by the report) between the instability of bank
paper and the growth of crime and pauperism. Ile ad-
vises men of all parties to read the report, and hopes that
none of them will think of going back into a " worse than
Egyptian bondage."

CHRONICLE.—The Consol market became flat soon
after the opening of business, some considerable sales of
Money Stock having been effected. The Exchequer Bill
market, however, is firmer, being last quoted at 245. to
26a. premium. The rumours lately so prevalent, that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer was about to give notice for
a considerable loan, although still afloat, are not so much
the subject of discussion. The state of the public
finances, and the increased expenditure incurred by the
extension of our naval and military establishments, have
led to a very general impression that Government must
require extraordinary pecuniary aid; and the abundance
of money leads to the expectation that they would take ,
advantage of the favourable terms on which it at present
can be obtained. The discount houses in Lombard-street
arc doing business freely at 4 per cent. ; and on the ,
Stock Exchange money is worth little more than 2 per
cent. The intelligence brought by an extraordinary ex-
press from Paris, announcing the beginning of reprisals,
and that the British ships of war had seized upon several
Neapolitan ♦essels, produced no effect upon the funds, as
it was generally anticipated, and at the same time sup-
posed that hostilities would cease on Admiral Stopford
receiving his last instructions. On this latter point con-
siderable difference of opinion is entertained, it being
considered rather uncertain whether our difference with
the King of Naples would or would not be immediately
adjusted by negotiation ; but we put no faith in the story
that a certainiNeapolitan Prince, now on a special mission
at the Court of St. James's, is oftener at the mansion of a
leading Conservative Baronet in Privy-gardens than with
Lord Palmerston at the Foreign-office.

POST.—The present aspect of the Money Market
well deserves, and doubtless will not escape, the attention
of the currency committee and others interested in the in-
vestigation with which it is charged. The Committee
has been assured by those who claim to be great autho-
rities in such matters, that the fluctuations in the supply
and value of money, and consequently of goods, are all at-
tributable to the capricious will of the Bank of England.
Mr. Tooke did himself credit, and the Bank but justice,
when, in 1832, be refused to give countenance to so un-
founded an assumption. The Committee has, in the exist-
ing state of things, an opportunity of determining for
itself, whether or net the accusation brought against the
Directors by interested and unreflecting persons can be
substantiated in any degree by the evidence of what is
passing before us. The Bank circulat'.on just now is low,
and the interest charged by the institution five per cent.
Yet money is notoriously superabundant. It may be ob-
tained in any quantity at four per cent., or one per cent.
below the Bank rate. Has this state of affairs been pro-
duced by the Bank of England ? No one will have the
hardihood to contend that it has:; for the Bank, to have
been the cause of the superabundance of money referred
to, must have resorted to the process of lowering its in-
terest and extending its issues. Under these circum-
stances, the clamour raised against the. Direction is surely
very unwarrantable and disgusting.
However easy it may be for vain and empty pretenders
to monetary science to dogmatise or condemn, it is felt by
such as take the trouble to think upon the subject, that
to understand the working of the currency is not a thing
of so ready attainment as joint-stock issuers would have it
believed to be. _

Much important information could, without doubt, be
extracted from the bill-brokers. The Lombard-street
houses Ind their supplies of money fluctuating from many
causes, and the Committee would do right to consider with the
deepest attention testimony, as to facts, coming from par-
ties who must necessarily see so much of the practical ope-
rations of the day.
At all events the Bank of England must not, and cannot
be regarded as the active cause of the present excess of
money, nor is the administration of the Directors to be
hereafter assailed, with reference thereto, by those who, in
order to cover their own malpractices in banking, and
lapses in trade, are so prone to lay the consequences of
their indiscretion at the door of others.
The public like to see fair play, and from the facts «e
have placed before them, will have no difficulty in putting
the saddle on the right horse.
There were reports in circulation again to-day respecting
loans and a funding of Exchequer Bills. The„ conse-
quence was a trifling advance in the unfunded debt, and
a corresponding retrogradation in the permanent securities

II E R A LD.—The public continue favourable to invest-
ments in the Share Market, and, generally speaking, not only
is there an increased demand for Railway Shares, but some
inquiry for shares generally. This sort of speculative in-
vestment, it may be ebserved, is both prudent and com-
mendable, under such restrictions as to the elegibility of
the property or undertaking which the exercise of a sound
discretion will dictate. It is rarely that loss will be risked
where a due share of caution is brought to bear ; and, in
contradistinction to foreign loans or foreign enterprises
of any description, which may fail, as they too gene-
rally have failed, it must be noted that however indi-
viduals may suffer by undigested speculation in do-
mestic undertakings, the wealth of the nation collectively
is not diminished ; for the loss of a class of individuals
becomes the gain of a greater number, and labour is more
largely employed and more beneficially requited, although
to the dispersion of the hoards of capitalist:, great and
small. In respect of foreign schemes, the reverse takes
place ; for what the capitalist loses is so much impove-
rishment to the nation in every sense. The wealth lavished
remains abroad without profit or return of any kind, or in
any shape of interest or labour to the nation, or to indivi-
duals at home. Great Western Railway Shares advanced
to 20 to 22i ; the half shares to 9} to 10} ; London and
-3irmingharii to 73 to 5 premium ; Brighton to 81 to 8 ;
I li'ackwall to to discount.

SUN—The intelligence by express, from Paris, of the
commencement of reprisals by the English squadron came
rather unexpectedly to the city politicians, who more
expected the news of an accommodation than of cap-
tures. It is inferred, however, that the English Ad-
miral, or at least the Court of Naples, could not have
received the news of Louis Phillippe's proferred media-
tion in the affair. At any rate, supposing the fact to
be true, as it is stated, the English, by making a bold
stroke at once, are not likely to be worse treated in
the end.
There were to- flay many largo sales of Stock by
some of the leading members of the English house, in
the habit of effecting purchases and sales for the
Court of Chancery and the Joint-stock Banks of Scot-
land and Ireland. These gave a heavy tone to the
market, which rallied, however, just before the termi-
nation of business, being but slightly affected by the in-
telligence from Naples. Consols for iuuncdiate trans-
fer brought 901 to 90,1,- sellers, and for the Account 91
buyers. Exchequer Bills were firm at 03s. to "G. s
prem., and India Bonds at ss. prem., Bank Stock-iml
proved again to 173 i.
Friday next will be holiday at the Bank of England,
being the Ist of May.
The half-monthly account in the Foreign Market

will be adjusted to-morrow. Spanish Bonds since the
I.sth instant have risen from 28 to 291, and Portu-
guese from 351 to 3Gi. This afternoon Spanish
Active Stock left off rather heavily, at 28i ; Mexi-
can receded to 28i, and Brazilian to 7.54 ; Spanish
Deferred Bonds were at 133: 4.
The Share Market was firm and animated. The
Railways bearing a premium were the Great Western,
21—the New, 9-Z- ; the Birmingham, 74 ; the Man-
chester and Leeds, 21; the North Midland, 4f —the New,
191 ; the York and North Midland, 20 ; and the South
Western 8 premium. The Brighton were at 8t ; the
Croydon Trunk at 3i ; the Midland Counties at 14 ;
and the Blackwell at discount. Colonial Bank Shares
improved to 84 premium.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

(From the Morning Post.)
The Horning Chronicle is equally dishonourable and
profane in the language which it uses with regard to the
decision of the Cambridge Election Committee. It refers
lo what it calls " a proposed absolution of Mr. Manners
Sutton" from all taint of the bribery and corruption for
which he has forfeited his seat, and affects to regard this
as a mockery and an offence to truth. But the report of
the proceedings of the Committee, which its own columns
contain, shows, as clearly as language can show anything,
that the Members of the Committee, as well those opposed
in politics to Mr. Sutton as those who agree with him,
were of opinion and anxious to state that opinion, that Mr.
Manners Sutton was completely f►ee from any moral taint
in tue mutter.

(From the Times.)
The Irish Poor-law must, in all that relates to elections,
be made more stringent by provisions which will be sug-
gested
by the result of an inquiry before a Select Com-
mittee, if any such should take place, before its dependent
measure, the Corporation Bill, can safely be launched.
And here we would urge upon the leading members of the
Conservative body in the House of Peers the danger of
placing any reliance upon the promises to introduce legis-
lation upon this or that part of the subject, which may be
made by the Ministers. Let them bear in mind, that the
Conservative leader in the other House has declared, that
from these same Ministers " be withholds his confidence on
every ground on which confidence can be withholden."
(From the Morning Chronicle.)
We have always willingly allowed that individual Tories
may possess liberal and enlightened minds ; but these in-
dividuals, though they may be unable to detach them-
selves from the party, do not entertain Tory opinions.
No mistake could be greater than to infer, that because
Sir Robert Peel leads the Tory opposition in the House of
Commons, the opinions of the Right Hon Baronet are the
opinions of the Tory party. " Toryism," as we observed
on Friday last, " means tyranny, bigotry, corruption—it
means not merely the sacrifice of the many to the
few ;:butlan intellectual darkness, which would sacrifice
the interests of the people without advantage to any
one." Every measure of an enlarged and beneficial char-
acter has been combated by the Tories, who have the na-
tural antipathy of owls to the light. The good measures
carried under Tory administrations were not conceded by
the party, but forced from it. When the principles which
give to a party its peculiar character are abhorrent to the
spirit of the age, on what ground, we ask, can any rational
person expect liberal measures from a Tory Government ?

EVENING F,DITION.

FASHIONS FOR MAY.

(From the London and Paris Ladies' Mag,atine of
Fashion.)
Our more recent communications from Paris inform
us that the materials in fashion are likely to be of great
variety this season ; silks, glaces and shot, mostly of
light colours, muslins, pekins, satins, mousselines de
laine, &c. &c. ; with respect to the make, there appears
to exist some degree of rivalry between tight sleeves
and bomffante ones, but it is probable the latter will
triumph ; the present tight sleeves differ from those
worn two years since—they resemble habit sleeves, ba-
ying two seams and elbows, and four small buttons on
the bottom. The full sleeves are moderate in 'sire, and
some arc made without any trimming on the top, and
rather short, with a band which buttons, and from it
issues a sleeve of clear or embroidered muslin, also
terminating with a narrow band, to which a Oa is
sewed, falling on the hand. Spenc..rs continue in fa-
vour ; those of velvet. with straight sleeves, withwt
any fulness, almost tight, no wristband. Some 4ry
pretty spring dresses appeared at Lougchamps,
with biais at the bottom of the skirts, and
on the sleeves ; the bodies open en eceur, with biais
laid on, which met those en the sleeves ; some
were with bouillons, others with flounces livered with
another colour ; embroidery in silks is very fashionable
both for shawls and dresses. Lace is also much used
on dresses, both black and white ; as a general observa-
tion, it may be said, that the folds on dresses may either
cross over each other or not ; that points are suitable to
married ladies, but for young ladies the point is not so
deep, and the body higher, and the fulness on :the top of
the sleeves is confined very low on the arm. Coloused
tulles will be fashionable for light evening dresses, mitt
corsage drape, trimmed with bouillons.
Bonnets are made rather straight, short in front, and
not quite so low at the ears as those of last year;
the shape is round in front, and very small ; the
crown quite low and very little ornamented. The bon
nets at Longchamps were white, with marabouts,
glaces, silks, poult de soie covered with bouillons of
crape mixed with violets : pink bonnets with veils, reps
covered with crape, which was bouillonne at the edge,
but in folds under and on the crown. Capotes of gausto
or crape, with a fichu of lace or gauze on them ; the
favourite flowers were bunches of hearts-ease, roses.,
violets, lilacs, and lilies of the valley.
Ribbons are but little used on bonnets ; the favourite
ones apricot, puce, green, violet, grey, pink, and choco-
late ; but before this came the Scotch plaids of ribbon.
velvet, plain, or epingle, checked, plain ground, or
varied by a showy flower. A satin or watered ribbon
of an inch wide, tied in a rosette with long ends, forms
a pretty ornament for the throat.

Fringes are likely to remain in favour this surctpy_;
they will be worn on the ends of silk scarfs, and iiiM;
cachmire and Barige shawls, the latter materials again
appearing; very large silk scarfs will be worn at the com-
mencement of the season, without being trimmed with
fringe ; but as soon as they become common, it is ex-
pected lace will be again resorted to. A great many
square cachmires are worn just now, green or blue, with
large pines on a plain ground, fastened in front by a
brooch, for which purpose coral is very fashion-able.
